Chapter 773 I Have Already Considered My Opponent For The Next Round
Chapter 773 I Have Already Considered My Opponent For The Next Round
On the afternoon of the [-]th, the Kings team flew to Salt Lake City to have dinner as usual and watch the Warriors play the Spurs as planned.
As the winner of the first game, the Spurs did not stick to the previous strategy of unlimited defensive changes. They took the initiative to double-team Durant crazily, and boldly emptied Dream Chaser Green. The three-pointer strikes iron frequently.
Those three-point strikes turned into long rebounds, and the Spurs played fast breaks one after another, leading by 16 points in the first quarter.
When the Warriors changed their strategy to allow Durant to respond, the Spurs changed to unlimited defenses, and then let the Warriors suffer a wave. Popovich taught Cole a lesson, and after Clay's scoring efficiency dropped, the Warriors only Durant is singled out as a stable scoring method, and Curry is defended enough by Paul and Danny Green. Compared with his big brother Stephen, there is still a big gap.
The Spurs eventually defeated the Warriors by 19 and took a 2-0 lead. The key is to firmly control the rhythm of the series.
"After Paul plays more off the ball, it will be more difficult to predict the defense. We will have to switch defenses infinitely at that time, so we will face many small and big situations. It depends on how good CP3 is..." Su Yang felt a little bit Panic, Popovich is too smart.
In fact, the change is quite small, that is, Green or Leonard dribbled the ball across the half court, and then handed it over to Paul, who came out with the help of a screen, but the pace was accelerated, similar to the fact that a big center does not directly get the ball, but uses a screen instead. Running to catch the ball, the rhythm is very different.
"Switch defenses. When Paul is looking for a big man to cover, I will switch defenses. I can follow him in 90.00% of the cases..." Antetokounmpo excitedly proposed. He did not deeply understand the profound purpose of Paul who was arranged by the Spurs. The ball only shows one layer.
Su Yang's mind quickly flashed the scene of Antetokounmpo switching to defend Paul, but the Spurs handed the ball to Leonard and Alder to play a two-person game, or the scene of Paul calling Antetokounmpo out of the paint and letting the Spurs hit the basket instead. The biggest deterrent to the ball is pinning.
After watching the Western Conference game, there is still a Cavaliers game in the Eastern Conference. Coincidentally, the entire Kings team was not in any mood and just left.
Early the next morning, Su Yang got up and took out his mobile phone to check the news. He found 99+ unread messages in the group chat. He checked it out of curiosity. It turned out that LeBron had strained his groin during the game, and Butler and Irving were fighting for the dominance. The Cavaliers suffered a major reversal.
Looking at the relevant discussions on Twitter, WOJ and others broke the news that LeBron needs to rest for at least ten days, and the Cavaliers' current infighting situation may cause the Cavaliers to lose the series. In that case, the Celtics are most likely to advance to the finals in the Eastern Conference .
"Is it still possible?"
Su Yang was a little dazed, thinking that except for the Cavaliers, other teams in the East would advance to the finals, that would be purely free. In the West, no matter the King himself, the Spurs or the Warriors, the three teams would eat the Eastern teams alive except for the Cavaliers.
The sudden accident may cause the series between the Spurs and the Warriors in the West to become more intense.
It doesn't matter if you play hard, getting to the finals is just getting money.
After nine o'clock, the whole team started training.
Relying on his memory, Su Yang speculated that the Jazz might make adjustments and make corresponding arrangements: "Based on Coach Quinn Snyder's habit, after they suffered a loss in the first two games by shooting more three-pointers from the outside, the next game will definitely be at the beginning of the game. The main attack is on the inside, and the general Gobert with low-post skills is the main attack. We cannot underestimate Gobert on the defensive end. When changing defenses, we must go around and flank.
In addition, they will definitely adjust the starting lineup. They used to be superstitious that double heights can bring rebounding advantages, but Derrick Favors has very little effect on our lineup. As a 3D positioning, Crowder can better target us. ..."
After the arrangement is completed, the corresponding training will start.
Su Yang took a casual look at the tactical moves of Curry and others, and then accepted an interview with ESPN, directly stating the potential adjustments of the Jazz. If you want to fight the psychological warfare, you will fight to the end. It doesn’t matter if you don’t predict correctly. Business,
On NO.20 the next day, Game [-] of the second round of the playoffs between the Kings and the Jazz will start at the Energy Center in Salt Lake City.
More than 8000 Jazz fans uniformly wore blue T-shirts to express their support. When the announcer introduced the king's starting lineup, they booed and put pressure on them. However, the core players of the king once experienced a 4-3 comeback, and all boos were like drizzle. .
The screen of the game where the Jazz defeated the Kings was played simultaneously on the big central screen, and the boos of the audience turned into cheers.
The announcer then introduced the Jazz starters: Rubio, Mitchell, Ingles, Crowder, Gobert.
As Su Yang predicted, when Claude replaced Favors, he obviously wanted to give it a go and try not to be 3-0.
Amidst the cheers, the Jazz won the jump ball.
Rubio advances with the ball, and the horn formation starts. Mitchell uses Ingles on the left elbow to cover, pretends to go up to catch the ball, but actually circles back to the left wing, and Ingles then uses the right Gobert in the elbow area crossed the screen and ran to the right wing, catching the ball in the same gesture, but Gobert took advantage of the situation and set up a wall cover at the top of the arc to block Curry. Rubio took the opportunity to break through with the ball.
In general, the Jazz starts with the horns, connects the ghost screen and cross screen, and finally back screens, one move after another.
It's a pity that the Kings did a great job of chasing the high defense. Neither Mitchell nor Ingles got open, and Cousins made a decisive attack to delay Rubio's breakthrough. Tatum also shrank from the right wing to control the route of Rubio's Olympic ball and pass. , delaying the connection of all three defenses and one.
For a while, Rubio couldn't pass the ball to Gobert, who opened the inside cut, and could only throw the ball to the right corner in a hurry.
But facing the siege of the three, the basketball was intercepted by Tatum as soon as it was released, and he also launched a fast break, causing a tactical foul.
Boos suddenly resounded throughout the audience, and Su Yang took the opportunity to stand up and arrange a sideline ball tactic: play a quick continuous screen hand-off.
The referee's whistle blew, and the king's four-man box formation was placed on the field. Brogdon turned around and set up a wall to cover. Cousins took the opportunity to get rid of Gobert, and went up to the left 45-degree three-point line to catch Curry. Pass the ball, and Curry stepped into the field after a free throw. With the help of Brogdon's lateral cover, he quickly rushed to Cousins, took over the pass, and went to the top of the arc to face Gobert.
The Jazz operated like that and obviously adjusted their defensive strategy.
Su Yang saw it, and clapped his hands and shouted to remind him to take his time. Curry seemed to think of it together, and Claude, who was on the right wing, shrank by making a false appearance. He raised his hand and passed the ball to Tatum, but Tatum just After catching the ball, Ingles was defended, and then passed to the right corner.
Antetokounmpo received the ball in a wide open while running, took advantage of the momentum and took two big strides, ignoring Gobert who returned to the defense, and dunked.
On the TNT live broadcast, Reggie Miller sighed: "I want to pay tribute to the Jazz. Compared with the Kings, they have no absolute advantage in any position, but they continue to try. Their determination to win is the representative of sportsmanship." .”
Grant Hill also sighed: "Continuous screens on the sideline and hand-offs forced Rubio to be unable to catch up, and hand-offs made Mi Mitchell too late to switch defenses. Curry got a chance to dislocate and could have shot directly, but he chose to be more aggressive. In a safe way, the choices of Tatum and Giannis are the same. It is too difficult for the Jazz to defeat the king who is full of wisdom and patience."
During the conversation, the Jazz started with an inside and four outside formation.
Gobert mentioned the ball at the top of the arc, turned right and passed it to Ingles who mentioned the right wing with the help of Claude's positioning screen, then ran up to make a cross screen for Claude, and then followed Ingles Si played a pick-and-roll and took the opportunity to turn around and rush down to the basket.
Between consecutive screens, the Jazz's intentions were quite subtle.
But Su Yang predicted before the game, the Kings had practiced, Tatum switched defenses immediately, and went around to interfere with Gobert receiving the ball, Cousins also made preparations to shrink back to defense, and received the ball at the top of the arc Crowder foolishly pushed the ball straight to the basket.
Snapped!Tatum slapped the basketball off, bent down and grabbed it in his hands, and the other Kings players launched a fast break.
The Thru series of tactics are put out, Tatum cuts in after crossing the ball, makes a cross screen for Curry, and then circles back to the top of the arc to catch the ball, and cooperates with Cousins in a pick-and-roll, once again nailing Gobert in the high position, and then Put the ball straight to the basket, run back to Curry in the paint, receive the basketball and start it in three steps, pull the bar in the air and hit the rebound to score, allowing the chasing Ingles to miss.
In the live broadcast, Miller shrugged: "Grant, have you watched Su Yang's pre-match interview? Judging from the current situation, he almost [-]% predicted the changes that the Jazz will make in this game, including playing inside and replacing K. Lauder is starting..."
Hill nodded: "The Jazz is too difficult, but complete prediction is not the key. The key is that the Jazz's scoring methods are too scarce. The continuous screen at the beginning and the continuous screen just now seem complicated and confusing. Players who can execute it do not have threaten."
The game continued on the court, the two teams came and went, the Kings ended the first quarter 32 to 23, but Curry got 2 fouls.
The foul situation was also expected by Su Yang, and the rotation was adjusted accordingly. The King won the Jazz by 5 points in a single quarter in the second quarter.
When they came back from the halftime break, the referee might not want to bear it any longer, and called Brogdon and Tatum 6 fouls in a row. However, the Jazz gave the opportunity to be useless. Not only did they fail to take the opportunity to narrow the point difference, but also let the Kings single With another 3 points, the situation is almost finalized.
The Kings entered the fourth quarter with a 17-point lead, played steadily, and finally defeated the Jazz 121-101.
Looking at the statistics after the game, Su Yang found that Curry, Brogdon, Tatum, and Antetokounmpo all had 5 fouls, but just like that, the Kings could win by 20 points and grab 4 more rebounds than the Jazz. One, it can be said that it is all-round crushing.
With a 3-0 lead in the series, the Kings have secured their place in the Western Conference Finals in advance. After the game, they participated in the press conference. The reporter asked in a joking tone if they were worried about the Jazz's big comeback.Su Yang cooperated and replied: "I'm already thinking about my opponent in the next round, and not now, but before the start of G3, I'm already thinking about my opponent in the next round, the Spurs..."
To be honest, pretending to be aggressive was a great success, but it was also very embarrassing.
But there is no way!
