You'd better wrap me

Chapter 324 God is hard to save.

Spurs bench.

Popovich almost growled and said: "How did I arrange it before the game? Didn't I tell you that you need to be confident and decisive? Do you think Tim Duncan can easily pass the ball every time? What are you afraid of? Are you no…"

Between the words, Popovich glared at Finley and Bowen one by one. He was so angry that he was too hesitant to make a move, but he was so scared by Su Yang that he dared not make a move. If you dare to shoot, you can only throw from the free throw line.

After only 3 minutes of playing, the team's momentum is at a disadvantage!
How to fight later!
However, Parker's three-pointer is really bad, and Bowen's fixed-point three-pointer is okay, but at the age of 37, his explosive power is obviously insufficient, and he is facing a defender of Iguodala's level. Can only rely on Finley and Manu.

"After the timeout is over, we must be resolute in catching and shooting open shots, even if we hit the iron continuously, otherwise we will always be passive, and this round of the series will be very long. We need a lot of attempts, even if we will pay some price for it.

Remember that after the 98 Bulls won three consecutive championships, our Spurs won the championship. After the Lakers’ three consecutive championships in 02, our Spurs also won the championship. We have a special talent to end the three consecutive championships. Don’t care about a ball or a game. Pros and cons!

Be tough!Be decisive!Go for me! "

Following Popovich's passionate speech, Parker, Bowen and other main players nodded in agreement. Even Duncan, who has always been calm, raised his hand in advance to prepare for a fist bump. The future head coach of the Celtics, Udoka, followed suit. The Spurs team regained momentum.

The whistle for the end of the pause followed.

The game continues.

The Spurs kicked off in the backcourt. Parker trotted across the center line and shifted his hands as usual. Duncan at the top of the arc received the ball and then passed it to Bowen on the left wing. Leigh made a lower screen, while Finley rushed to the top of the arc, received a pass from Bowen and waited for a three-threat. Duncan turned around and moved to the left, using Kurt Thomas to cover the position on the left waist.

Su Yang followed Parker on the right wing, saw the whole process of the Spurs' tactical movement, and lamented in his heart that the Spurs relied too much on Duncan. In this round, Duncan served from the backcourt baseline and delayed the top of the arc to make a supporting transition, and then went down to cover for Finley. , to provide support for subsequent tactical choices, and finally find cover for the left waist card, ready to become one of the tactical choices, and do everything.

Switching to O'Neal, he would only squat inside and prepare to ask for the ball, and at most he would make a false screen to cover himself from catching the ball. The difference is huge.

Between sighs, Finley standing at the top of the arc has two options. He can pass the ball back to Bowen on the left wing, and then Bowen finds a way to pass it to Duncan, who is stuck in the left waist, or he can pass the ball to the right wing. With Parker set, Kurt Thomas is ready to cover.

Finney obviously didn't think much of it.

The basketball flew straight to the left wing. Bowen caught the ball and passed it to Duncan. He strode to the bottom line to take away the defender, and at the same time left room for Finley to run. The tactical execution was quite strong, but Igo, who was in charge of switching Finley Darla, double-teaming Duncan again.

Duncan immediately gave the ball with one hand.

Finley caught the ball and flew back against Iguodala to grab a shot. The basketball rebounded with a bang, and Chandler got the rebound.

Su Yang catches the ball and slowly pushes forward. Seeing that everyone in the Spurs chooses to press the line, he decisively raises his hand to signal for STS to hit the basket.

Then he accelerated to the top of the frontcourt arc, raised his hand and gave the ball to Ray Allen, who was four or five to the left, then strode to the free throw line, used Chandler to cover the inside cut, and prepared to move to the right to pull the defense, and Ray Allen Lun received the ball and made a three-threat attack, and then caught Chandler who moved laterally to cover and break through to the right.

Seeing that Chandler was about to rush to the basket, Parker stopped catching up with Su Yang, and Kurt Thomas also shrank towards the basket.

In the blink of an eye, Ray Allen raised his hand and threw the ball to the basket. Unfortunately, the pass was not good, and Chandler caught the ball a little farther away.

The lob cooperation failed, and Chandler was surrounded by Parker and Thomas when he landed, and Duncan also quickly returned to defense.

"Right bottom corner! Right bottom corner!"

"To Su Yang! To Su Yang!"

Coaches such as Spoelstra and Hornacek on the bench beside the court, Ray Allen and Iguodala players on the court, shouted together.

Chandler hurriedly passed the ball, but Su Yang caught the ball dryly, ignoring the interference of Bowen's flying dive, and the basketball slammed into the net.

11 is better than 0!

Cheers erupted in YouTube Center.

In the ESPN live broadcast audience, Van Gundy Jr. sighed with regret: "This is the case against the Clippers. They will play all kinds of tactics. No team can use three or four strategies to target them. In this round just now, the Spurs recognized that the Clippers had taken too many long-range shots and a lot of early offenses, so they chose to suppress a lot of on-lines when checking out..."

Mark Jackson answered: "But the Clippers immediately changed their tactics and chose to hit the basket with weak defense inside, and it was an STS cover, which gave Chandler an alley-oop opportunity. Although the pass was biased, he successfully destroyed the Spurs formation and finally let Su Jan got his chance."

Offensive and defensive transitions on the field.

Parker cooperated with Duncan on the left wing, rushed to the top of the arc and found Thomas to cover, forcibly got rid of Su Yang to catch up, switched defenses against Millsap, buried himself in the rush, and rushed to the basket first, carrying Millsap to interfere Take off and cause a foul.

The referee whistled and awarded two free throws.

Su Yang stood on the center line and waited, and took the opportunity to communicate with Ray Allen next to him, "The Spurs adjusted their offensive formation just now. Duncan responded and then went down to cover, and then got stuck and successfully separated me from Duncan. What will you and Iguodala do? More double-teaming, more communication is needed when switching defenses, but it doesn't matter even if you don't score three points, because Duncan plays like this, which consumes a lot of energy.

The key is to play like this is not the Parker drive they are best at. Parker is only used as a traction and will not be very efficient. "

Ray Allen nodded again and again to express his understanding.

In fact, Parker also fought very hard. Just now he broke through and gave up his life, and the further he went, the more he lost his energy.

Su Yang can ask Ray Allen to go with Parker, but that's different from switching defenses to shrink defenses and break throughs during rotations, and it can be exchanged.

During the conversation, Parker made the first free throw, and the Spurs took the opportunity to replace Ginobili. Popovich probably thought that Finley was useless for the time being. No matter whether he hesitated or not on the offensive end, he couldn’t hit a three-pointer. The momentum completely collapsed.

Boos again, Parker also hit the second free throw.

Oberto came on to replace Kurt Thomas again, and it seems that he intends to return Duncan to the power forward position, which is considered the strongest lineup.

The Clippers then launched a counterattack.

Su Yang dribbled the ball forward and found that Bowen took the initiative to switch defenses. He decisively raised his hand to signal the BOX formation to start, and asked Iguodala to punish Parker, who was misplaced and switched defenses, so as to prevent the Spurs from going unscrupulous in the future. Even if Iguodala's rotation position is Temporarily do not attack.

The formation was quickly established, and Iguodala ran from left to right, used the screen to catch the ball in the short corner on the right, and shot straight.

Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.

13 to 2, the Clippers maintained an 11-point lead.

There were cheers in the arena, and Van Gundy Jr. exclaimed: "This is the reason why the Clippers are attacking for four consecutive championships! In this round just now, Su Yang changed another tactic in order to punish Parker who defended misplaced, and Iguodala Very tacitly chose to use jump shots to finish, instead of relying on physical advantages to play slowly, because the offensive efficiency will gradually decrease, so even if the Spurs score consecutively, the Spurs can accept it, but like just brushing, scoring once in 10 seconds, The Spurs just can't take it."

Mark Jackson nodded: "Iguodala was often overlooked in the Clippers, but I remember his first playoff game against the Spurs. After Parker's misplaced defense failed to play an efficient offense, he said in an interview that he would work hard to improve misplaced punishment. The purpose is not to get better numbers, but to avoid the misplaced advantage that Su Yang has, which is weakened because of him."

The host Mike Breen sighed: "A leader like Su Yang, and a deputy like Iguodala, perfectly cooperate."

Offensive and defensive transitions on the field.

The Spurs still shifted their hands from strong to weak, and Su Yang followed Parker to guard the weak side on the right. As a result, Ginobili, who was on the strong side on the left, continued to use screens to break through, blocking the moment when Iguodala and Ray Allen switched defenses for a little delay, super boldly Pass the ball between the three.

The basketball bounced off the ground and flew to the left bottom corner. Bowen, who was temporarily unguarded, took it in his hand and rushed to shoot a three-pointer.

The basketball hit the rim and bounced into the net.

Iguodala and Ray Allen stopped to look at each other, and there was some annoyance in their eyes, obviously thinking that there should be no delay.

Seeing this, Su Yang applauded and reminded that there is no need to blame himself. The main reason why Bowen was able to hit a three-pointer was not that he was slow to switch defenses, but that Ginobili's risky choice was too ruthless. The three interfered with the pass and hit the ground.

That kind of ball is only once or twice a game, so there is no need to worry.

Changing the Clippers' offense, Su Yang saw that Parker was misplaced and switched to Iguodala, and continued to direct the BOX formation to start. Unfortunately, Iguodala failed to score after receiving the ball, but the Spurs got the rebound and launched a counterattack. Ginobili made a layup.

The two teams come and go. The Clippers' scoring efficiency returned to normal levels because of the Spurs' misplaced defenses and Su Yang's effort-saving. The Spurs' scoring efficiency also entered normal levels because Manu confronted and separated Su Yang Duncan. Neither Spoelstra nor Popo play tricks.

Su Yang left the game with 3 minutes to rest, and the Spurs Duncan went off at the same time. After the first quarter, the Clippers led by 9 points.

The second quarter started immediately. According to the rotation plan, Su Yang made an early appearance to replace Iguodala, who had already played 12 minutes of the first quarter, while the Spurs Duncan also came on the court at the same time, and Parker also returned soon. The point difference never widened. Nor is it zoomed out.

After halftime, the Clippers led 58 to 49.

Su Yang only had 14 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds.

Jr. Van Gundy commented: "The Spurs seem to be only 9 points behind, but they have gone all out, especially Ginobili's early appearance, and the 37-year-old Bowen played the first quarter, Michael Finley was compressed playing time , they shorten the rotation.

In comparison, Su Yang on the Clippers side obviously hasn't started to work hard, and Coach Spoelstra hasn't put out a five-small lineup. "

Mark Jackson answered: "All teams that play games against the Clippers must shorten their rotations without hesitation. The Lakers once relied on a seven-man rotation and led the Clippers 80-[-]. If it wasn't for the fourth game where Su Yang turned into a basketball god and scored [-] Points, already won the championship."

The Clippers team returned to the locker room. Su Yang took the lead in praising Chandler for his excellent control of details. Assistant coach Kim Hughes then analyzed, saying that Chandler's 5 offensive rebounds in the halftime helped the team get more opportunities and also helped the team get more chances. Point out the deviation of the three-pointer defense in the first half.

Su Yang raised his eyebrows when he heard the three-point defensive deviation, and Spoelstra immediately explained: "According to statistics, the Spurs averaged 19.1 three-pointers per game, but in this half, they have already taken 17 three-pointers and hit one of them. 9 times, this is the reason why they have not been widened by us, which further shows that our strategy of double-teaming Duncan is very successful, they will not always be so accurate..."

Hearing those words, Su Yang nodded in agreement.

The Spurs made 17 of 9 three-pointers, and the shooting rate exceeded 50%. It was not the Clippers' defensive deviation, but the double-teaming of Duncan, and after a large number of rotations, the Spurs got more open three-pointers. The Spurs are more accurate. Luck preference.

To sum up, the whole team took a break, and assistant coach Payton asked Su Yang to install a high-end massage chair in the locker room, "You are the owner of the arena now! You should know the players' halftime conditions very well, This simple recovery is obviously not enough..."

Sterling should be responsible for that request.

But Su Yang is the richer and more influential guy.

"Pretend! Let Orshe arrange it now!"

After laughing and joking for a while, the whole team rushed back to the stadium to warm up. Su Yang took the time to chat with the star fans present.

The third quarter started quickly.

The strategies of the two teams have not changed.

Su Yang began to work hard, and the Spurs' three-point shooting rate fell below 50%. The Clippers won 36 to 24 points in a single quarter by 12 points.

Trailing by 20 points and entering the fourth quarter, the Spurs tried their best to grab three points, but failed to reach 3 minutes left, so they chose to give up.

In the end, the Clippers defeated the Spurs 111 to 90, leading 1 to 0 in the Western Conference semifinals and defending the home court.

Su Yang scored 40 points, 13 assists and 9 rebounds. Unfortunately, he failed to achieve another 40+ triple-double in the playoffs.

At the press conference after the game, talking about Popovich's praise for surpassing Jordan, Su Yang said with a smile: "I like what he said. Duncan is also a Jordan-level player. Like tonight's game, Duncan supported the Spurs alone. Offensive and defensive ends..."

You praised me over Jordan, and I hinted at Duncan's teammates in the CBA. Anyway, we will engage in mentality with each other, and next time we will blow Bobo over Phil.

On the same night, in the East, the Bulls beat the Celtics 121 to 94, and Perkins was ejected on the spot.Green Kay coach Rivers faced the Bulls to empty Rondo or shrink and squat to defend Rondo's breakthrough, but did not come up with any solution.

The result was very close to Su Yang's previous prediction, and the Clippers all praised Su Yang for his sincerity.

At 05:30 in the morning of the next day, Su Yang was woken up by the cries of the two children, and washed his face with sleepy eyes. He only wished that he could not take selfies with his mobile phone and send them to Moments for the time being, otherwise he could pretend to wake up early for training and give them to the two children. Breastfeeding to avoid waking up Alba and Irene, I deeply felt how difficult it is to be a parent, and I also felt that after someone became a father, they could run away.

Instead, I went back to the cage again, slept until ten o'clock, got up, replied to the emails sent by several executives of the company, and pulled Scarlett and Hathaway to discuss the script of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea". It's okay, let's watch other games.

The Mavericks and the Lakers played quite fiercely. Both teams had short rotations. In overtime, Tracy McGrady made a mid-range shot against Kobe.

Discussions emerged after the game, and black fan Chris Bunty tweeted: "The Lakers performed too badly! They lost home court advantage against the Mavericks. The game is played like this. Even if they eventually advance to the Western Conference Finals, if they meet the Clippers, Definitely lacking in stamina."

Anyway, the game hasn't started yet, so let's give the Clippers a title of invincible, and by the way belittle the strength of a wave of Mavericks.

After a day off, the Clippers will fight the Spurs again.

The Spurs’ starting lineup has not changed, but Finley and Thomas were replaced after only playing 4 minutes, because the double-team rotation of the two against the Clippers is indeed inferior to Ginobili and Oberto. Popovich only regrets that no one else is available. , must start like that.

Seeing that the Spurs made another substitution in advance, the Clippers' strategy still did not adjust, allowing the Spurs to make quick and difficult three-pointers from the outside.

The Spurs failed to withstand the test, shooting 19.1 three-pointers much more than the season average of 28 times per game, but only hit 8 times, while the Clippers took 17 three-pointers and hit 11 times, beating the Spurs 105 to 84 , The series is 2 to 0.

After the game, comments from all walks of life gave suggestions. The core is how to make Parker play at a normal level. After the first two games, Parker only scored 30 points and 8 points, averaging 15 points and 4 assists per game, far lower than the first round against the Suns. Averaged 29.6 points and 7 assists per game.

The most frightening thing is that apart from all kinds of close pursuit and defense, there are not too many scenes of Su Yang stalking Parker, the imaginary chasing and nailing the big cap, and the whole court pressing death entanglement. Didn't see it, Parker had very few chances to catch the ball.

Su Yang, who is good at fighting, has no great achievements.

There are also comments with [-] likes and sigh: When Su Yang wants to lock a player, he will lock that player.

Parker is over, and so are the Spurs.

God can't help.
