Warriors continue to be doubly befuddled by the Rockets’ double-big zone
defense

Warriors get trampled in Game 5 with the series shifting back to the Bay.

When Gary Payton II was interviewed by TNT’s Dennis Scott just before the
start of the second quarter of the Houston Rockets’ Game 5 shellacking of the Golden State Warriors, Payton was asked of the Warriors’ process against the Rockets’ vaunted double-big zone — the two bigs being Steven Adams and
Alperen Sengun — and how they could get more open looks against it.

在休士頓火箭隊第5戰痛擊金州勇士隊的比賽中，Gary Payton II在第二節開始前接受TNT的Dennis Scott採訪，被問到勇士隊面對火箭隊強大的雙塔區域防守（這兩位大個子是
Steven Adams與Alperen Sengun）時的應對方式，以及他們如何創造更多空檔出手機會。

“Hit the middle and spray out of there,” Payton said. “Once it hits the
middle, (the defense) collapses, hit to our spot-up shooters and just make
shots.”

Payton表示：「打進中路然後把球傳出去。一旦球進入中路，防守就會收縮，我們就能把球分給埋伏的射手，然後命中投籃就行了。」

That interview came not long after Payton himself practiced what he preached,on a first quarter possession where the Rockets dared the Curry-less five-mangrouping to beat their somewhat funky zone — funky in terms of both personnel and alignment.

這段訪問不久前，Payton剛好自己實踐了他所說的方式。在第一節的一次進攻中，火箭隊挑戰這個沒有Curry在場的五人組，用他們人員組成與站位都有些奇特的區域防守逼對手破解。

After the Warriors go to their “55” set (double drag screens), the ball
finds its way to Payton at the free throw line, Quinten Post gets multiple
bodies thrown his way, leaving Gui Santos open on the wing. Sengun gets caught between having to cover Brandin Podziemski cutting toward the dunker spot and having to keep tabs on Santos. Payton promptly dishes to Santos, who makes
the open look.

勇士跑出他們的「55」戰術（雙拖曳掩護）後，球來到了罰球線的Payton手中，QuintenPost吸引了多名防守者，結果Gui Santos在側翼獲得空檔。Sengun一時間卡在要兼顧切入禁區的Brandin Podziemski和觀察Santos的情況之間。Payton立刻將球傳給Santos，後者命中這記空檔投籃。

The possession above turned out to be not only the Warriors’ best process
against the Rockets’ double-big zone — it was their best process against the
zone all series long. But it’s also valid to question whether the scoring
possession above was a function of good process or the Rockets willing to live with a Santos three. As with most things, the answer lies somewhere in the
middle.

這一回合不只是勇士對火箭雙塔區域防守最好的進攻處理，更是整個系列賽中他們對區域防守處理得最好的一次。不過，也有合理的質疑：這次得分究竟是因為執行到位，還是火箭願意賭Santos的三分球？如同大多數情況，答案可能介於兩者之間。

The evidence for it being good process lies in the fact that the Warriors
proceeded to be confused by the zone the rest of the way, as they have been
for most of this series. Take note of the difference between the instance
above and the one below:

認為這是執行到位的理由在於，之後的比賽中，勇士隊對這套區域防守再次感到困惑，就像這個系列賽大部分時間一樣。請注意以下這個與上面不同的例子：

While there was some semblance of intention — screening, moving, cutting, etc. — the ball didn’t move around with the force and oomph one would expect
when busting a zone, nor did the players themselves move with a similar amount of urgency. Everyone seemed highly hesitant, which plays into the hands of
the defenders in a zone, who are more than content to both move around and
match up accordingly and stay out of the need to distort the shape of their
alignment.

儘管有一些戰術意圖──掩護、跑動、切入等──但球的傳導缺乏對付區域防守時應有的
速度與果決，球員本身的動作也缺乏應有的積極性。整體看來大家都猶豫不決，這正中區域防守下懷，讓防守球員既能自由調整對位，又不用破壞自己的防守站位形狀。

While credit must be given to the Rockets’ defense — one that has the size
and length to make any sort of ball and player movement more difficult to
execute than it would be against conventional personnel — there were too many instances of the Warriors either settling for a shot the Rockets would gladly allow:

雖然火箭隊的防守確實值得稱讚──他們的身材與臂展足以讓傳球與跑位的執行變得更加
困難──但勇士隊太多次選擇投那些火箭樂意給的出手機會：

Or managing to get behind the lines of a zone and garnering an opportunity tobust it, but overthinking and relinquishing the small window they created:

又或者他們成功撕裂區域防守並創造得分機會，卻因為猶豫不決而錯過稍縱即逝的空檔：

Perhaps the most understated stat — but one that has informed how this series has turned out in terms of these two teams trying to one up each other with
their respective zone alignments (the Warriors’ being their “tandem” 2-3
zone) — is how the Rockets were 29th in zone offense during the regular
season. The only team that’s fared poorly than them in terms of attacking a
zone? The Warriors, who were the worst zone offense in the regular season in
terms of points per possession, per Synergy tracking.

或許最容易被忽略，卻在這個系列賽兩隊相互較量各自區域防守的策略上產生重大影響的數據，是火箭在例行賽對區域防守的進攻效率排名第29。而比他們更糟的唯一一支球隊？正是勇士隊，他們根據Synergy的追蹤數據，在例行賽中面對區域防守時每回合得分最少，排名墊底。

While it wasn’t the main reason that they quickly crumbled in Game 5, it
remains a key point of contention they’ll have to solve in order to close
this series out. Ime Udoka will be more than happy to keep sending out the
Adams-Sengun anchored zone. Along those lines, lineups with the Adams-Sengun
tandem have outscored the Warriors by a total of 31 points in 54 minutes,
while keeping the Warriors’ offense to scoring a paltry 0.85 points per
possession.

雖然這不是他們在第5戰迅速潰敗的主因，但這依然是他們若想終結系列賽必須解決的關鍵問題。Ime Udoka樂於繼續派出以Adams與Sengun為核心的區域防守。根據統計，這對搭檔上場的54分鐘內，火箭隊淨勝勇士31分，並將勇士的進攻效率壓制到每回合僅0.85分的慘澹表現。

The main adjustment the Warriors can make for them to get out of this highly
contentious and bruising series may be to just push the play better button,
especially for the likes of Steph Curry, Jimmy Butler, and Draymond Green. But playing better starts with concocting a better process offensively — and a
process that finds much better consistency against the Rockets’ double-big
lineups.

勇士若想擺脫這個激烈且充滿肢體碰撞的系列賽，最重要的調整可能就是「打得更好」，尤其是對於像Steph Curry、Jimmy Butler與Draymond Green這些核心球員而言。但要打得更好，首先要從建立更好的進攻流程開始──一種能夠在面對火箭雙塔陣容時展現更好
穩定性的進攻方式。
