Paul, the tactician who has led the trend for countless teams in the NBA, has always been regarded as the "God of Health Control". His basketball IQ is high, and he can often gain insight into his opponent’s weaknesses at critical moments and lead the team to victory. In the past ten years, he has led many different teams to play against the mighty Warriors in the playoffs. Now, he has been wearing a warrior’s shirt, fighting side by side with his former enemies and fighting hard towards the common goal-the championship.
Recently, Paul submitted a striking tactical proposal to the Warriors, which is 15 sets of tactics carefully designed according to his in-depth understanding of the Warriors in the past. The core of these tactics is to make use of the Warriors’ good three-pointers of running and opening, as well as Paul’s own excellent ball control ability to find opportunities for breakthrough and shooting.
However, according to a source who asked not to be named, most of these tactics started with Paul. This is significantly different from the Warriors’ existing Curry-centered style of play. This means that Curry may need to make more concessions and play a more cover role in the new tactical system.
Curry’s containment force is unmatched. His simple cover can attract the opponent’s defensive attention and create a large space for his teammates. And Paul’s dribbling ability and breakthrough speed, combined with Curry’s outside shooting ability, will probably make the Warriors’ attack smoother and more efficient.
On the other hand, under the new tactical system, Dreamcatcher Green will change from the offensive core of the team to the defensive expert. His main task will be to protect the basket, reduce the chances of holding the ball and attack, so as to devote more energy to defense and rebounding. Nevertheless, Dreamcatcher Green is still an indispensable member of the Warriors. His organizing ability and understanding of the game will help the team to control the fluency and rhythm on the offensive end.
Generally speaking, although the new tactical system may change the role distribution of the Warriors before, it is also to better adapt to Paul’s leadership style and playing style. The arrival of Paul undoubtedly brought new vitality and possibility to the Warriors. Although the roles of Paul, Curry and Dreamcatcher Green have changed, their goal is the same-that is, to work together to help the Warriors rise again and launch an impact on their fourth championship.
This new tactical system is a re-integration of the existing resources of the Warriors and a full expression of Paul’s leadership. How to successfully integrate this new system into the daily competition of the Warriors will be the next problem that Paul and the Warriors need to face and solve. Let’s look forward to the wonderful performance of Paul and the Warriors and see how they will win the world’s attention again through change and innovation.
