Chapter 163 Teaching the Spurs a Lesson
The offensive and defensive transitions on the court, the Spurs also put on a four-out and one-in formation. Duncan mentioned that the right wing and Hill were doing pick-and-rolls.
According to Su Yang's arrangement, Jordan made a decisive attack and delayed, cutting off the space towards the top of the arc by the way, forcing Hill to go to the bottom line.
It's a pity that Duncan turned around and cut inside. Hill hit the ground very tacitly and gave the ball. The Thunder's first defensive strategy failed.
Jeff Green immediately shrank from the weak side to intercept at the basket, and Matthews moved laterally from the right corner to control Duncan's dribbling route. The Thunder resorted to a typical partial three-defense and two-two strategy. Dead Duncan picks and rolls inside.
Seeing this, Su Yang was about to applaud, but at the same time he caught a glimpse of Jeff Green stretching out his hands on his chest.
That defensive posture is very bad. The correct defensive posture should be to raise your hands high, or your hands should hang down naturally.
Su Yang wanted to remind him, but Duncan had already hugged the basketball and squeezed towards Green's outstretched hands.
Beep!The whistle blew, and the referee whistled for Green's thug foul and gave Duncan two free throw opportunities.
Cheers broke out in the ATT center, and Green was a little surprised and annoyed, and strode away angrily.
Hardan went over to pat Green to comfort Green, murmured something, and raised his hand to signal, his expression was very happy, as if to say: Brother, if you defend like you, I can draw you ten fouls in a row, you should defend like this...
Su Yang clapped his hands to encourage him. He knew that Green did have a wrong defensive posture, but the root of the problem was not Green, and the Thunder did not make any defensive mistakes. Break the law.
Taking advantage of the referee's free throws, Su Yang called Harden and Matthews to the sidelines and quickly adjusted his style of play for the last two and a half minutes.
The free throws started in a blink of an eye, cheers rang out in the arena, and Duncan made two free throws to help the Spurs tie the score.
The Thunder then launched an attack, Harden advanced with the ball, and the center line raised his hand to signal the delay formation.
Matthews and others searched for positions and stood still. Harden ran across the center line with the ball and passed it to Durant at the top of the arc.
Because Durant served as the power forward, the Spurs were facing Bonner, and the one-on-one situation was obviously unstoppable.
The Spurs naturally focused their defensive attention on the top of the arc, and on the Thunder side, Green took the opportunity to lift up from the right bottom corner, and at the 45-degree three-point line, he made a flare screen for Harden who was rushing towards him. Run to the bottom right corner.
At the same time, Durant held up the basketball with both hands and prepared to make a long pass, and the Spurs bench hurriedly shouted to remind his teammates on the field.
Hill hurriedly bypassed the screen, trying to get back close when Harden received the ball, but Harden saw Hill's running position, immediately stopped and retreated, raised his hand to receive the pass from Durant, and stepped up to find the rhythm , ignoring Jefferson's potential block threat and rushing to shoot a three-pointer.
Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 29 to 26.
The Spurs' bench was silent for a moment. After years of professional tactical training, they could tell that the Thunder's offensive tactics were neither simple nor complicated. It was very easy to create scoring opportunities. Almost every position was a threat, and it was hard to defend against.
On the side of the Thunder, Su Yang applauded happily. Just now, the offensive tactics were a perfect balance of player ability and efficiency. Of course Durant can take on Bonner alone, and Harden can also take on Hill by force, but the efficiency will be low. The four look bad too.
The offense and defense switched, and the Spurs continued to settle in the one-in-four-out formation.
Duncan received the ball at the top of the arc, turned around and passed to Ginobili on the left, and ran over to set up a wall as a screen.
Meanwhile, Bonner landed in the short left corner and Hill ran into the right corner, swapping places with Jefferson.
In the blink of an eye, the Spurs formed the same tactical routine in the previous round-Back action.
The offensive and defensive process was like a single cycle. The Thunder double-teamed and forced Ginobili to go to the top of the arc, while Duncan took the opportunity to turn around and cut inside.
But unlike before, Durant did not defend Duncan, but ran out with Bonner.Green instead moved laterally from the right to the free throw line, cutting off the passing lane between Ginobili and Duncan, and enticing Ginobili to pass to Jefferson.
Maybe there is really no way, Ginobili knew it was a fraud, but still bit the bullet and threw the ball to the right wing.
Jefferson hesitated to receive the ball for a while, and faced Green who was returning to the defense, he took off and shot a three-pointer with some reluctance.
when!The basketball hit the basket and hit the iron, and the sound of sighs resounded through the arena.
Duncan wanted to take off and compete for offensive rebounds, but was delayed by Jordan who returned to defense.
Matthews in the bottom corner on the right ran and took off to get the rebound, and landed and threw it to Durant who had already run to the center line.
The Thunder instantly launched a fast-break counterattack, and Bonner, who was closest to Durant, could not pose any defensive threat.
Amid boos, Ginobili hastily switched defenses and tried to intercept, but Durant threw the ball to the sideline without hesitation.
Harden raised his hand to catch the ball, and there was no Spurs guarding him two meters around him. He stood firmly and adjusted his posture, and easily shot a three-pointer.
bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 32 to 26.
"Okay!" Su Yang applauded and cheered, and specially gave Little Jordan two thumbs up to show his praise.
At that time, Duncan was standing under the basket as a big man. If Jordan succeeded in fighting with him, it would be a highlight moment.
But Jordan was willing to make sacrifices, using the card position to ensure that Matthews grabbed rebounds, in exchange for the team's fast-break scoring opportunity, and his personal data did not increase at all. .
While thinking about it, the Spurs made a fast break, and Ginobili rushed to the basket one-stop, carrying Matthews and forcing a layup.
Matthews always raises his left hand to interfere, and catches up with small steps. He has very good defensive habits and does not give foul opportunities at all.
boom!The basketball bounced off the board and fell.
Matthews slapped the ball to Green, and Green took the ball and turned around and took two steps, raising his hand to the left wing of the frontcourt.
The basketball roared and flew across the half court. Harden caught the ball sideways, turned around and faced the basket in a three-threat pose.
Seeing this, Jordan ran over to set up a wall as a screen, attracting a lot of defensive attention, and Harden suddenly threw the ball to the basket.At the same time, Durant ran back to get rid of Bonner, rushed to the basket with the advantage of speed, jumped high, and caught the dunk with one hand.
Su Yang glanced at the scoreboard and said with a smile: "It seems that my prediction was wrong. Not only are we not behind, but we are leading."
The three assistant coaches chuckled, knowing that Su Yang was competing in Versailles again, who would have thought that Harden would be so fierce after playing.
With 1 minute left in the first quarter, the Spurs launched an offense. Hill dribbled the ball across the center line and raised his right hand to command.
Duncan then went up to the left elbow, and Hill raised his hand to pass the ball, strode down to block Matthews, made an off-ball screen for Ginobili, then turned and ran to the paint area, ready to follow The bottom line is shifted to the right, and the tactical literacy is full.
At the same time, Ginobili took the opportunity to rush to the left elbow, handed over Duncan's pass, twisted his hips and went straight to the basket.
The tempo was so fast that the Thunder's weak side had no time to delay.
Duncan's screen quality is very high, and Matthews is half a beat behind whether he squeezes through the screen or bypasses the screen.
But Harden has already seen through everything, like turning on the red-eye mode, standing on the edge of the reasonable collision zone in advance.
In an instant, Ginobili, who was sprinting at high speed, was forced to take the Eurostep, stomping and shuffling his feet in a hurry.
The whistle sounded, and the referee whistled for a walking violation, indicating that the ball was switched, and the Thunder got the ball in the backcourt.
The audience booed wildly, the Thunder continued to delay the formation, Harden ran to the right with the ball, and threw it to the top of the arc as usual.
Seeing Harden give the ball, Green lifted it up from the bottom corner simultaneously, preparing to do a flare screen and repeat the previous tactic.
The Spurs responded in a hurry, but Harden did not catch the ball after running to the bottom corner. Instead, he stopped and ran back, and then used Green to cover, quickly ran back to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and formed a hand-to-hand screen cooperation with Durant , in a disguised form as a Chicago tactic.
The dislocation defense suddenly formed, but Bonner couldn't even keep up with Durant, let alone the faster-footed Harden.
In a hurry, Duncan moved laterally from the waist to intercept, and subconsciously raised his hand to cut Harden's exposed basketball.
But he never expected that Harden took the initiative to get close to him and deliberately put his arm on his arm for a layup.
Beep!The whistle blew, and the referee whistled Duncan for a thug foul, and signaled that the two-point goal was valid, and then gave Harden another penalty.
Duncan was dumbfounded on the spot, and immediately recalled the past when he sat on the bench laughing and was called a foul, and he was equally surprised.
In the TNT commentary seat, Kenny Smith laughed: "Haha, if the extra free throw is made, the Thunder will lead by 11 points."
Barkley complained: "The Thunder fully demonstrated to the Spurs that there are many other tactics in the basketball game besides the pick-and-roll with the ball. Even making fouls allows the Spurs to see new things..."
