LVSportsBiz.com chatted with Aces General Manager Natalie Williams and head coach Becky Hammon and they sized up the Connecticut Sun vs Aces Finals as a classic brawn/physical team vs finesse/fast team.
“It’s going to be physical,” Williams said.
Noted Hammon: “We know this is a clash of styles.”
Hammon said the Aces schemed for Seattle’s personnel like star Breanna Stewart but against the Sun — a team with six players who can drop 20 points a game on you — the strategy will be to scheme against a concept because the Sun have such a balanced attack.
The Aces’ red-hot shooting Chelsea Gray said Connecticut “wants to beat you up.” She said the key is to match the Sun’s defensive intensity and protect the paint.
She mentioned she’s trying to keep her shooting touch hot by remaining “super calm and composed.”
Gray also noted that the one slight change to her shooting technique is that she has a quicker release.
