Chapter 656 The Stubborn Old Man



Chapter 656 The Stubborn Old Man

The short timeout ended quickly and the game continued.

The Spurs kicked off in the backcourt, Parker led across the center line, sought a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, faced a delay from Cousins, and hurriedly pocketed the pass, and David Lee slid down the ball, carried Cousins ​​back to defense, and forced a start Three-step layup, deliberately showing his hands to lure.

Cousins ​​was like a young man who saw a naked girl and hurriedly reached out to pat it, and the referee whistle followed.

Thug foul, two free throws.

Cousins ​​put his head in his hands in annoyance.

Curry stepped forward to comfort Cousins ​​with a pat on the back, and Su Yang applauded after seeing this. In fact, Cousins ​​doesn't need to help Curry delay the ball, just stay in the paint and wait. It was Su Yang who told Cousins ​​before the game Sims, squatting pits, and delays can be used interchangeably.

Players like Parker cannot be allowed to find a rhythm. It is best not to use the same strategy to defend continuously.

While thinking about it, David Lee hit the iron for the second free throw.

There were cheers in the arena, Cousins ​​jumped up and caught the rebound, turned around and threw it to George, and the King counterattacked.

RAM started from the left side of the frontcourt. Antetokounmpo and Cousins ​​continued to screen. George took the opportunity to get rid of Leonard, twisted his hips and hit the left waist. Facing David Lee's interception and Parker's early contraction, he suddenly stopped and went. Turn right, lift the ball over the top, and make a strong long pass.

The basketball flies straight to the 45-degree three-point line on the right.

The idea is very clever, and the operation is very bold.

Naihe's passing skills are slightly worse.

Aldridge, who was chasing Antetokounmpo, grabbed the pass easily, easily intercepted the pass, and threw it to Leonard who had already started, and the Spurs counterattacked.

Two-on-one in the frontcourt, the basketball continued to pass, Antetokounmpo had no choice but to watch Adelaide put the ball into the basket steadily.

George hurriedly raised his hand to signal that he made a mistake. Su Yang clapped his hands to remind him not to worry about it. The difficulty of passing the ball is quite high. After all, it is not LeBron or Jokic. It is normal to make mistakes. Just run out of tactics. Next time Just pay attention.

On the field, Antetokounmpo hurried to serve and attack.

George advances with the ball, uses Cousins' back cover from the center line, and suddenly accelerates to sprint. Taking advantage of the chaotic Spurs' defensive formation, he breaks through David Lee strongly and makes three big strides to the paint area. Quickly throw the ball to the right.

Antetokounmpo, who followed up, caught the ball at the 45-degree three-point line, glanced at Adelaide's position, and made a steady three-pointer with a wide open.

I didn't notice that Green came out from the side to interfere, but it had no effect, and the basketball slammed into the circle and into the net.

11 to 4, cheers everywhere in the arena.

"When did Bobo become so greedy?" Assistant coach Mike Brown suddenly sighed, "The Spurs want to stop our breakthroughs and prevent us from shooting three-pointers, but they don't have that kind of defensive configuration, so they are easy to miss. Lose."

"That's fear, or lack of confidence." Assistant coach Di Brown chuckled, "They don't know how to defend..."

Su Yang heard the discussion and did not intervene, but agreed with Di Brown's statement. Popovich and the Spurs lacked self-confidence. They subconsciously felt that they could not beat the King. The strategy they reacted was to defend everything, and the previous few confrontations had a choice. defense.

While thinking about it, Curry raised his hand and flew the basketball racket in Parker's hand out of bounds. The referee whistled to signal the Spurs to reorganize.

Perhaps it was an attack of dependence, the Spurs put up a box formation, Parker pretended to receive the ball, but actually passed the ball to Leonard.

David Lee's screen was then formed, and the King's defensive strategy remained the same, without delay, putting Leonard to the elbow for singles.

Seeing this, Leonard hesitated for a while, as if he didn't want to fight according to the king's regulations, he suddenly lowered his shoulders and lowered his center of gravity to prepare for a strong attack.

George decisively moved 45 degrees from the left side to help defend, and double-teamed with Cousins ​​​​in the paint area. There was no way to break through.

In a hurry, Leonard made a sudden stop, turned to the left and raised his hand. The basketball flew straight to Green at 45 degrees, and a small open three-pointer followed.

Basketball clangs like iron.

Green turned around and returned to the defense depressed. The central big screen simultaneously showed Green's shooting percentage in the first round against the Jazz. The data showed that his three-point shooting percentage was only 29.2%. In comparison, there was a serious decline.

Even in the regular season, Green made 13% of his three-pointers in the 14-41 season and only 37% this season.

Relevant data flashed by, and the screen refocused on the Kings offense. Cousins ​​picked and rolled and received a pass from Curry for a three-pointer.

The Spurs got the rebound and launched a counterattack.

Perhaps the dependence became more and more serious. After the basketball was brought over the center line, it was directly handed over to Leonard, who simultaneously set up the wall to cover.

Because it was the right-wing position that initiated the screen, the Kings decisively launched the ICE strategy, and Leonard may not want to go to the short corner to fight hand-to-hand. Glide, and rebound with a bang.

"Aldridge is completely out of shape..."

Relying on the experience of coaching for one season, Su Yang was sure that Adelaide hadn't gotten out of the loss in the first round. He immediately told his assistant coach West to write it down, and later told the king's generals during the timeout: Adelaide's threat is low. Defensive resources can be reduced.

While thinking about it, Curry continued to screen, pretended to shoot a three-pointer, successfully lifted Parker, and then leaned forward, and the referee whistled.

Three free throws, MVP shouts resounded through the arena.

Popovich beckoned Parker to the sidelines, raised his finger to Curry, and then pointed to his head, as if teaching him not to foul like that, but to be smarter, while Parker shrugged and spread his hands, as if to say that Curry's three-point threat was too much. Big, no way.

All three free throws were hit, and the Kings led 14-4.

Popo didn't call a timeout, but instead brought up Ginobili, replaced Danny Green, who was somewhat undercover, and continued to attack.

The zipper tactics start, connect the weak-side pick-and-roll, and transfer the strength and weakness while breaking through. Ginobili successfully got rid of LaVine. Blocked, emergency stop, take-off and throw shot succeeded.

"Two 10 minutes of Jordan lived up to his reputation..."

Su Yang expressed admiration for Ginobili, but he also knew that his physical strength was good at the moment, and his average state was not that strong.

The two teams switched offense and defense.

LaVine failed to make a strong attack with the ball, and hurriedly passed it to Curry to deal with it. The cover of the LOGO position was formed immediately. Throw the board and the basketball bounces into the net.

The Kings continued to lead by 10 points.

Cheers reappeared in the arena, the Spurs made a fast break, Parker found a pick-and-roll on the right wing, got rid of Curry and went to the top of the arc, seeing that David Lee under the basket had blocked Cousins, he immediately lowered his shoulders and lowered his center of gravity to forcefully rush to the basket, staged Looking back at the moon, the limit hits the board.

The operation is quite beautiful.

It's a pity that the basketball rebounded and hit the frame and fell.

Cousins ​​slid past David Lee, grabbed the rebound, and made a long pass to the center line. LaVine caught the ball and rushed to the front right wing.

Curry took the ball and subconsciously went to Antetokounmpo, but the position was wrong, and the Spurs' defense was already in place.Seeing this, Su Yang made a sound to remind him to find the wrong position, because at this time, George is facing Ginobili, and his size and height are dominant, so there is a wrong position anyway.

Curry understood the sound, turned his head and rushed to the top of the arc, pretending to cooperate hand in hand with George who was oncoming.

Perhaps because they thought that George was not easy to play with the ball, Ginobili and Parker shot at the same time with a tacit understanding, double-teaming Curry.

However, Curry was prepared and threw the ball to the free throw line casually, and George had already disassembled and cut inside, catching the ball and rushing.

The Spurs are still a routine, and all members surround and intercept.

The momentum is very fierce.

George lightly tossed the ball to the basket, and Antetokounmpo, who was simultaneously walking the baseline and rushing to the basket, leaped high and slammed into the air for dunks.

18:6.

The referee's whistle blew, and Popovich got up again and asked for a timeout. His face showed a trace of anxiety and anger, and he yelled at David Lee who walked to the sidelines. He also gestured with his hands, as if pointing out David Lee's Defensive mistakes, very impatient.

On the ESPN live broadcast, Van Gundy chuckled: "Fortunately, as the head coach, I have never led the team to play against Su Yang, otherwise I would definitely be like Popovich now, because my scalp was numb because of losing, and Complain about a certain player without grace, and firmly deny that the defensive strategy is wrong. Of course, he may know that the strategy is wrong and stubbornly want to try..."
