Chapter 958
McCollum was taken aback by Lillard's sudden pass, but he took it well and didn't let the pass turn into a turnover.

Raising his hand and scoring a layup, McCollum and Lillard completed a beautiful cooperation.

"Good pass!"

McCollum didn't know whether Lillard was intentional or unintentional just now, but he knew that the ball was passed well just now, and he could easily score a layup.

Lillard was also a little stunned for a moment. It was strange, why did he pass the ball subconsciously just now?

But fortunately, the result was very good, and Lillard didn't think too much about it.

But McCollum paid attention, as if suddenly he caught something.

On the Spurs side, Jokic used his footsteps to hit the opposite one. Looking back, the Blazers attacked again.

This time, it was Lillard who charged forward with the ball, and McCollum deliberately chose a position away from Lillard, and then prepared to verify his conjecture.

Lillard accelerated his breakthrough. This time the Spurs chose to switch defenses. Ginobili came up to block him. The old and spicy Demon Sword met the young Lillard, and it was like sparks hitting the earth in an instant!
Lillard raised his hand to resist Ginobili, showing no mercy to the veteran, pushing Ginobili to the inside.

Ginobili used his experience to stabilize his position. Although he was pushed back, he always stood between Lillard and the basket.

At this time, McCollum, who had been circling around on the other side, suddenly used a feint to throw Mills away, and then rushed straight to the inside!

"ball!"

McCollum yelled, Lillard, who was breaking through, after hearing this, it was like a conditioned reflex, he shook his hand and threw the ball in the direction of the sound!
"Pretty spread!"

The height of the ball was exactly around McCollum's waist, and it happened to be on McCollum's forward path. After receiving the ball, McCollum lifted it and easily scored the ball!

"nice shot!"

Lillard was also excited, and bumped his chest with McCollum to celebrate. After the two of them came up, they could only play singles and the other watched, but I didn't expect the two to play a perfect match today!
"how did you do that?"

When returning to defense, Lillard asked McCollum.

"Follow the feeling."

McCollum didn't have time to tell Lillard, because the Spurs had already rushed over, but Lillard remembered his words of following the feeling.

This time the Spurs' offense was a bit anxious. Ginobili made a European layup, spun around the basket and came out again. Kaman took the rebound and gave McCollum a fast break!
"Damian, follow your instincts!"

McCollum yelled at Lillard while advancing, and he wanted to try to see if he could achieve this cooperation when he was in possession of the ball!
The Spurs switched defenses quickly, and Green entangled McCollum to prevent him from starting a fast break, but McCollum didn't intend to break through him this time, and quickly dribbled the ball to create a space for passing the ball. McCollum directly passed the ball Pushed it in the direction I expected!
Whether you can catch the ball depends on whether Lillard and himself have a tacit understanding!
"Snapped!"

Lillard was breaking through at high speed, and then he suddenly felt something flying towards him. The next moment, the basketball appeared in his sight. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and reached out to take the ball in time.

But this feeling went very well. After taking the ball, Lillard made a layup in three steps. Before the Spurs' defense was in place, he scored a layup!

In the next few rounds, Lillard and McCollum seemed to really call. The two actually played a very good cooperation, and they passed each other in a decent way.

"pause!"

The Spurs immediately called a timeout, and they couldn't let the Blazers just start like this.

"Damian, I know how the two of us will cooperate!"

Back on the bench, McCollum was very excited, NND, and finally found a way for himself and Lillard to form a golden pair of guns.

"You mean..." Lillard actually had some eyebrows, but he was a little uncertain because he always felt that he was not perfect yet.

"That's right, it's the same as before. Let's go with our feelings. When one person controls the ball, the other person moves and breaks through according to his own habits, and when passing the ball, he also passes the ball according to his own prediction."

McCollum was very excited. This method is actually not a method at all, because many times this kind of pass looks like a gamble. If the other person does not run in the expected position, then a mistake will be done.

But the playing styles of McCollum and Lillard are too similar. They can actually be said to be the same person, and they both play breakthroughs.In many cases, the person in possession of the ball can guess where the opponent should be at this time from his own point of view, and then pass the ball.

In the same way, the person who catches the ball can guess the route of the pass, and then just run over in time.

This kind of tactic, abbreviated as "people follow the ball", can only be accomplished by partners who have very similar styles and trust each other.

I have to say that Lillard and McCollum have the potential to use this trick.

"Strengthen the defense against those two, don't let them get the ball easily."

On the Spurs bench, Popovich was teaching his disciples confidential matters, and he could clearly see that the backcourt duo formed by these two is indeed very powerful, but the cooperation between them is still relatively jerky. A few passes are more like passing by instinct.

"Coach, let me go. Kahuai and I will be responsible for one." Qin Yan put forward his own suggestion. For this kind of opponent, one-on-one is the best way.One-on-one without switching defenses to curb their breakthroughs, and then the two gibbons can be ready to steal the ball at any time, so their cooperation will not be able to play.

"No, you guys continue to rest, and you two have to take action against their unformed combination, so how can I improve my level?"

Popovich refused very "arrogantly". It is true that Qin Yan and Leonard can perfectly restrain the two of them, but the "two guns" that have not yet formed should not allow the Spurs to use their trump card so early.

"Matt, Danny, you two will deal with them next, one-on-one without switching defenses, don't reach out to steal, just interfere with their dribbling. The rest of you protect the rebounds."

Popovich replaced Tucker with Barnes, and then asked him and Green to deal with the Trail Blazers. The defensive capabilities of Baye and Green are also leveraged, and there should be no problem with one-on-one.

However, the two guns that have found a way to cooperate are not so easy to deal with. Although Green and Baye worked hard, the two talented young people still relied on their own feelings, kept running with the ball, and abruptly followed the ball. The Spurs found space in the gaps in the defense to complete the cooperation, and the two guns attacked together, constantly narrowing the point difference between the two teams.

"Qin, Ke Huai, get ready!"

Popovich couldn't hold back his face a little, and greeted Qin Yan and Leonard to get ready to play.

In fact, Popovich's tactics are fine, it's just that the first time the Blazers' two guns hit together, the hit rate has a bonus...
