https://reurl.cc/QY5Xgo Warriors give young Rockets a taste of playoff basketball as they draw first blood For the most part, Dubs were able to execute the plan — while the Rockets saw what that meant up close. By Joe Viray@JoeVirayNBA Apr 21, 2025, 4:32am PDT In the preview for this playoff battle, two key statistics stood out that may have portended how the Golden State Warriors were gearing to defend their first-round opponents. 在这场季後赛对决的前瞻中，有两项关键数据显示金州勇士可能已经准备好如何防守他们 的首轮对手。 The Houston Rockets aren’t particularly known for their three-point shooting, both in terms of volume and efficiency. They take the fourth-least number of attempts from beyond the arc in terms of three-point-attempt rate — and shot just 35.3% on those shots during the regular season, 21st in the league. 休士顿火箭队并不以三分球见长，无论是出手次数还是命中率。他们的三分出手率排名联 盟倒数第四，例行赛三分命中率仅有35.3%，在联盟中排名第21。 Many an instance has plagued the Warriors in terms of their defensive choices — e.g., a notorious non-shooter garnering favor from the variance gods and hitting a shot the Warriors were more than comfortable letting them take; even worse, that same player drilling another shot when left open. Most teams bank on this common philosophy of “letting players other than insert star player/ s beat us” — and if they do, then cap tips are warranted. For the Warriors, there seemed to be too many instances of them tipping their caps. 勇士在防守选择上时常被这样的情况困扰——例如，一位以不擅投篮着称的球员突然手感 火热，命中那些勇士甘愿放掉的投篮；更糟的是，那名球员在空档时又投进了另一球。多 数球队都遵循「让明星球员以外的人来打败我们」的防守哲学——如果真的被打败了，也 只能脱帽致敬。而对勇士来说，他们似乎太常需要「脱帽致敬」。 However, that wasn’t about to budge them off of their chosen ledge — apparent in Game 1, where the Rockets shot 6-of-28 (20.7%) from beyond the arc . One possession comes to mind in the first half; take note of how many Warriors defenders commit to defending this drive from Fred VanVleet: 然而，这并未让勇士动摇他们的防守策略——这在第一战中表露无遗，火箭队三分球28投 仅6中（命中率20.7%）。上半场有一个回合特别值得一提；请注意有多少名勇士球员涌入 禁区防守Fred VanVleet的突破： https://i.imgur.com/EMLpWNU.jpeg Four defenders pinch in to crash and pack the paint — the only defender choosing to stay put being Jimmy Butler, who correctly doesn’t help from the strong-side corner, one pass away from arguably the Rockets’ only dangerous spot-up threat in Jabari Smith Jr. 有四名防守者收缩进禁区协防——唯一没有移动的是Jimmy Butler，他正确地选择不从强 侧底角补防，那个位置距离Jabari Smith Jr.只有一传之遥，而他可能是火箭唯一具备威 胁的定点射手。 Even so, the Warriors defense operated like they were unmoved by the Rockets’ passing as much as they were unmoved by their shooting. The regular-season Rockets possess the designation of having the fewest passes made per game (262 .3), having the fewest assists tallied per 100 possessions (23.6), and having the lowest assist rate in the league (54.9%). Those numbers are indicative of a team that lacks both the initiation and the connective passing to budge opponents in a conventional half-court setting — which, in a way, makes them vulnerable to specific defensive game plans. 即便如此，勇士的防守仍坚守己见，既不被火箭的传导吓到，也不担心他们的投篮。火箭 在例行赛中场均传球数为全联盟最少（262.3次），每百回合助攻数最少（23.6次），助 攻率也垫底（54.9%）。这些数据显示他们是一支缺乏组织与传导连结的球队，无法在一 般的半场进攻中撼动对手——也因此，更容易被针对性的防守策略瓦解。 Back to the possession above: the cutting Amen Thompson tries to make himself available but VanVleet is met with bodies and limbs. Smith is out of the equation, while Dillon Brooks is open on the left slot but is unseen by VanVleet; Brandin Podziemski also is in position to close out or deflect, if VanVleet decides to kick out. The crowd comprising the paint traffic makes a cut from a standstill perimeter player unwise. 回到上面提到的那一回合：Amen Thompson 从底线切入试图获得机会，但 VanVleet 面对 的是一片防守人墙。Smith 已经从进攻中被排除，而 Dillon Brooks 虽然在左侧45度角 处空档，却没有被 VanVleet 注意到；如果 VanVleet 想要把球传出去，Brandin Podziemski 也已经就位，可以随时扑防或干扰。禁区内拥挤的防守人潮让站在外围的球 员切入变得不明智。 VanVleet makes a commendable effort trying to find an open man after getting Draymond Green up in the air, but his pass ends up in Butler’s hands: VanVleet 试图晃飞 Draymond Green 之後寻找空档队友，这一点值得称赞，但最终他的 传球落到了 Butler 手中： https://i.imgur.com/flfhl5e.gif Much has been said about the plethora of options the Rockets possess in terms of defensive personnel, one that allows them to play several coverages, fine tune them according to the situation and opposing player, and shuffle through all sorts of looks to keep opponents off balance. But the Warriors themselves possess optionality against this Rockets team, one that doesn’t have the creativity nor an abundance of perimeter ball handling to shuffle through multiple offensive looks. 外界对火箭在防守阵容上的多样性已有许多讨论，这让他们能够实施多种防守策略，并依 照情况和对手微调，透过不同的防守样貌让对手无法掌握节奏。但对这支火箭队而言，勇 士同样拥有灵活性。火箭缺乏创造力与足够的外围持球能力，因此无法施展多样化的进攻 模式。 If the Rockets can switch screens as easily as they could against the Warriors — especially 1-to-4 — what’s stopping the Warriors themselves from doing the same, against a crew that doesn’t possess the level of shotmaking a Steph Curry or Butler has? 如果火箭能如此轻松地在对勇士的比赛中换防——尤其是1到4号位之间——那麽对於一支 没有 Curry 或 Butler 这种级别进攻创造力的球队，勇士为什麽不能也这样换防呢？ That was the line of thought during the possession below, with Draymond starting the possession on Jalen Green — with the knowledge that the Rockets were about to set an “away” screen for him. Jalen’s reward: getting switched onto Gary Payton II. 这正是下面这一回合中勇士的思路。Draymond 起初防守的是 Jalen Green——他知道火 箭即将为 Jalen 设置一个「离球」掩护。Jalen 最终的结果是：被换防到 Gary Payton II 身上。 https://i.imgur.com/c4bAJlD.gif Butler’s gap stunt discourages Jalen from driving, forcing him to have to pull up against a good Payton contest. Even so, it was still a shot that rattled in and out, but the process that preceded it was made tough by the Warriors and their switching, fueled by the appropriate personnel on the floor . Butler 在防守间隙中佯动，让 Jalen 放弃切入的想法，被迫在 Payton 紧逼下跳投。尽 管这球最後进框後弹出，但在此之前的整个进攻过程，都被勇士的换防与场上的正确人员 配置给强力限制。 Butler’s presence, in combination with Draymond, proved to be a foil for Jalen and the Rockets in the half court. To put it plainly, Jalen doesn’t have much space to work with when he’s surrounded by the likes of Thompson, who — for all of his pedigree as a defender — does not instill a sense of fear from the perimeter. Butler 和 Draymond 的搭配成为 Jalen 以及整支火箭队在半场进攻上的一大阻碍。简单 来说，当 Jalen 周围都是像 Thompson 这样的球员时——尽管他以防守见长——对手不 会对他的外线投射感到畏惧，Jalen 几乎没有多少操作空间。 Just look at how far off Butler’s willing to help off of Thompson to park himself at the nail — which serves as an early warning sign for Jalen not to drive down the middle: 看看 Butler 愿意从 Thompson 身上拉开多远的协防距离，站在罚球线上方的位置（俗称 「钉子位」）协防——这对 Jalen 来说是一个早期警告，提醒他不要尝试从中路切入： https://i.imgur.com/eIr9QqT.jpeg Jalen aborts his planned isolation and passes to Smith, guarded by Gui Santos, who then opts to drive inside. But Butler is already in position to both help and cover Thompson in the dunker spot, while Draymond — guarding another non -perimeter threat in Tari Eason on the strong-side corner — gets his hands in the driving lane, digs the ball out of Smith’s hands mid-drive, and forces a turnover in traffic: Jalen 放弃了原本的单打计画，将球传给由 Gui Santos 看守的 Smith，Smith 随後选择 往内线突破。但 Butler 早已就位，不仅可以协防，还能同时顾及站在禁区底线（dunker spot）的 Thompson；而 Draymond 则是在强侧底角防守着另一位不具外线威胁的 Tari Eason，他伸手干扰突破路线，在 Smith 突破途中将球抢下，制造了拥挤中的一次失误： https://i.imgur.com/mPn4HzZ.gif The Rockets’ attempts to get Jalen going included setting high ball screens — near the half-court line — to create downhill momentum. But Draymond had those in check, opting to play drop coverage and stifling Jalen’s drives at the rim, with the confidence that Jalen only had a singular goal: go hard at the rim. The drop coverage didn’t allow Jalen many options in terms of passing (while allowing the Warriors to stay out of rotation), nor was he intending to give up the rock in the first place, to his and the Rockets’ detriment: 火箭尝试帮助 Jalen 找到进攻节奏，包含在接近中线的位置设高位挡拆，为他创造冲刺 的空间。但 Draymond 对此应对自如，他选择进行「下沉式防守」，成功压制 Jalen 的 冲击篮框。Draymond 相信 Jalen 只有一个进攻目标：全力冲击篮框。这样的下沉防守不 仅没让 Jalen 有太多传球选项（同时也避免勇士陷入轮转），Jalen 自身也没有想传球 的打算，最终伤害了他自己和火箭队： https://i.imgur.com/7xwuFao.gif With that in mind, the Warriors kept their coverages conservative, for the most part. Whether it was drop coverage against Jalen, or drop coverage against VanVleet, the Warriors had confidence in their screen navigation up front, and little confidence in the Rockets’ screen-and-roll game generating any sort of consistent offense for them. 有鉴於此，勇士整体保持保守的防守策略。不论是针对 Jalen 或 VanVleet，勇士都采用 下沉式防守，对於前线球员绕掩护的能力充满信心，同时对火箭的挡拆进攻毫无信心，认 为其无法带来稳定的得分。 While Alperen Sengun was the Rockets’ only stream of consistent offense, he found himself stonewalled at times against Draymond, who plays drop coverage against VanVleet below, turns to defend Sengun in isolation, and is unfazed by Sengun’s attempt to power through and — when that doesn’t work — fish for a foul: 虽然 Alperen Sengun 是火箭少数稳定的进攻来源，但他也经常被 Draymond 封锁。如下 方这回合所示，Draymond 对 VanVleet 采用下沉防守後，转而一对一防守 Sengun，完全 不为 Sengun 尝试强打或假摔博犯规所动摇： https://i.imgur.com/ZTOo9JH.gif The Warriors provided the Rockets a lesson in scouting and preparation. Draymond, in particular, seemed unfazed, unbothered, and unrelenting in defending possessions in the half court, with him blowing up many a half-court possession simply by knowing what was coming. 勇士给了火箭一堂关於球探与备战的课。尤其是 Draymond，他在半场防守中丝毫不为所 动、不受干扰、不肯退让，单靠预判对方进攻意图便瓦解了许多半场回合。 https://i.imgur.com/4UYDpn2.gif His dig nullifies the high-post split by the Rockets below. Thompson counters the switch by slipping inside with top-side position against Podziemski, but Draymond gets his hands on the pass to force another turnover: 他往禁区内一探手，就瓦解了火箭在高位策应时的分球动作。Thompson 尝试用顶侧位置 切入来应对换防并接球对位 Podziemski，但 Draymond 早已读出传球路线，伸手一拨， 造成又一次失误： https://i.imgur.com/Cc1Y2Db.gif Instead of dependable half-court scoring, what kept the Rockets in the game was, as expected, their offensive rebounding. They tallied 22 in Game 1 and were able to score 22 points off of those second-chance opportunities. Overall , they were a plus-16 (52-36) in rebounding — which makes it all the more impressive that the Warriors were able to “eke” out a 10-point win despite being thoroughly lambasted on the boards. That may be a testament to how impaired every other offensive tenet of the Rockets has been. 火箭能够紧咬比赛，靠的不是稳定的半场进攻，而是如预期中的进攻篮板。他们在第一战 抓下了 22 个进攻篮板，并从中拿下 22 分的二次进攻得分。总篮板数上，火箭以 52 比 36 领先勇士 16 个——这也让勇士最终能以 10 分惊险获胜显得更加难能可贵，尽管他 们在篮板战被完全压制。这也说明了火箭在其他所有进攻面向上的严重受限。 https://i.imgur.com/14bQdfT.gif On the contrary, the Warriors themselves weren’t impressive offensively in terms of points scored per possession, but Curry and Butler spelled the difference, with help from a defense that limited the Rockets to just 96.6 points per 100 possessions. Curry finished with 31 points on 78% True Shooting , while Butler chipped in 25 points on 57.8% True Shooting. 相对地，勇士在每回合得分效率上其实并不突出，但 Curry 和 Butler 撑起了战局，再 加上防守端将火箭压制到每 100 回合仅得 96.6 分。Curry 全场拿下 31 分，真实命中 率高达 78%，而 Butler 也贡献 25 分，真实命中率为 57.8%。 Shotmaking was the name of the game for Curry and Butler. While being hounded by physicality — holds, tugs, hugs, etc. — is nothing new for Curry, it can be quite annoying and mentally taxing. But Curry persevered despite it all, making shot after shot that Rockets fans do not take to kindly, considering Curry’s history of hitting them at their expense. 这场比赛，Curry 和 Butler 的进攻创造力成为关键。虽然 Curry 一直以来都饱受对手 身体对抗——拉扯、抱缠、防守压迫——的挑战，这种防守方式虽已习惯，却依然恼人且 消耗心神。但他仍坚持到底，一球接一球命中——对火箭球迷来说尤其刺眼，毕竟 Curry 过去就曾多次成为他们的噩梦。 And for Curry to finally have a dependable second banana — or the “Robin” to his “Batman,” as Butler would put it — affords him a luxury not seen in nearly six years. 而现在 Curry 终於有了一位可靠的副手——正如 Butler 所说，是他这位「蝙蝠侠」的 「罗宾」——这种奢侈，已经是近六年来未曾拥有的待遇。 As I opined in the preview article, I wondered how often the Rockets — typically a disciplined defensive team, and who largely stayed disciplined during their April 6 win vs. the Warriors — would stay disciplined over the course of this seven-game series, and that it behooved the Warriors to test that discipline constantly. Cracks started to emerge in Game 1 — namely, when two defenders botch a switch involving Curry, who drills a deep three in the possession below: 正如我在赛前分析中所提到的，我曾好奇火箭这支一向以纪律着称的防守队伍，在这个七 战四胜系列中能否始终保持纪律。他们在 4 月 6 日击败勇士时大致上就展现出这份纪律 ——但我认为勇士应该不断去测试这点。到了第一战，裂缝便已出现——像是下方这回合 ，两名防守者搞砸了一次针对 Curry 的换防，他则毫不客气命中了一记超远三分： https://i.imgur.com/gKFofXV.gif And, in their efforts to prevent a Jalen switch onto Butler, allow Podziemski to slip his way to the rim, with weak-side help unable to rotate: 此外，火箭试图避免让 Jalen 换防到 Butler 身上，却因此让 Podziemski 有机可乘， 悄悄切入禁区，弱侧协防也来不及轮转： https://i.imgur.com/wz4NZws.gif This is not to say the Warriors played a perfect game — far from it, considering their rebounding woes, the fact that they led by as much as 23 points before letting the Rockets come within a possession of tying the game, and how they barely were the better offensive team by virtue of having Curry and Butler make shots (with timely help from a Moses Moody three and a Podziemski offensive board that led to a Draymond layup). But playoff road wins are hard to come by — and the Warriors, decade-long experts in winning in hostile environments, took first blood in what will certainly be a bloody rock fight of a series. 这并不是说勇士打出了一场完美的比赛——实际上距离完美还差得远。他们在篮板上大吃 苦头，曾领先多达 23 分却让火箭追到只差一球，加上在进攻端之所以能略胜一筹，靠的 也只是 Curry 和 Butler 的强势发挥（以及 Moses Moody 一记及时的三分与 Podziemski 抢下进攻篮板後助攻 Draymond 上篮）。但季後赛的客场胜利从来不容易— —而勇士，这支擅长在恶劣环境中取胜的老牌强队，在这场注定血腥的硬仗中，率先取得 了第一滴血。 --
