NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 17 That's Why Not Jack

"In the second quarter, you take a 2-minute break and continue, is that okay?"

Although Su Chen wanted to use Curry as a donkey to beat the audience.

But still respected Curry and asked Curry.

Hearing Su Chen's words just after he got off the court, Curry almost staggered.

But Curry is very professional, and he also has a strong desire to win, and he is willing to play like this if he can win the Spurs.

"no problem."

Curry nodded again.

Seeing that Curry didn't have any objections, then Su Chen didn't say anything.

Start to lay out the next strategy.

After the arrangement was over, Su Chen saw Ron Adams walking over.

"Su, although Curry has achieved good results, Curry will lose his strength in the last quarter after being exhausted by such a load."

"Maybe you think that the last quarter is like the last game, let Thompson take over the game, but we can think that Popovich will definitely think of it."

Ron Adams said with some concern.

Seeing that Ron Adams is only now talking about this issue, Su Chen is quite satisfied with this.

If he said it in front of the players when he was arranging tactics, it would undoubtedly be provoking his authority as the head coach.

When playing a game, the most feared thing is infighting.

Ron Adams came to talk to himself about this issue alone after the players had left. I have to say that this old assistant coach is indeed a nice guy.

"Don't worry, I just want Popovich to think that way. Popovich thinks that we have got our strategy right, and I will follow his ideas to countermeasures. There is an old saying in the East that we use tactics."

Su Chen patiently comforted Ron Adams.

Although Ron Adams doesn't know what is meant by 'following tricks', he always feels very powerful.

Think about Su Chen's miraculous comeback last time, isn't it the same situation?

the other side.

Popovich also saw Curry's exhausted appearance, and estimated that Curry's physical exertion should be a lot.

On the Warriors' side, Curry played the full first quarter without rest, while the Spurs entered the rotation lineup at the beginning of the half quarter, taking turns to consume Curry's energy.

After Popovich saw that Su Chen let Bogut consume Duncan, Popovich also activated the rotation inside. Although Duncan consumed a lot, he got a rest anyway.

Under such a premise, only two points behind.

Popovich is very satisfied, and even to some extent, the Spurs are the real advantage.

"The Warriors will definitely start the rotation in the second quarter. We just need to do a good job of defending David Lee and Jarrett Jack. Leonard will let you lead the defense of Jarrett Jack!"

Popovich also arranged a strategy for the second quarter.

Leonard nodded expressionlessly like a robot.

The second quarter begins.

Spurs: Thiago Splitter (C), Matt Bonner (PF), Kawhi Leonard (SF), Manu Ginobili (SG), Tony Parker (PG) ).

Warriors: Festus Ezeri (C), David Lee (PF), Harrison Barnes (SF), Kent Bazemore (SG), Jarrett Jack (PG) .

Although I guessed that the Warriors would use rotation in the second quarter, I didn't expect it to be five ups and downs.

Generally, when a team enters the playoffs, the rotation will be reduced to 7-9 players.

But it can't be said that the combat effectiveness of these five ups and downs is not enough. The three of Jack Barnes and David Lee were originally the starters in Mark Jackson's lineup.

The reason why the rotation number will expand so much is because Su Chen used Draymond Green and Richard Jefferson, who have fallen out of the rotation, and put them directly in the starting lineup.

"Just a joke, after the Warriors replaced five starters, there were three starters on the bench."

After Johnson found out, he immediately said with a smile.

Even Barkley, who has prejudice against the Warriors, can't say anything now.

Draymond Green and Richard Jefferson are both passable judging from their performance in the first quarter.

After all, Curry is the main attacker, Thompson is the secondary attacker, and everyone else is a tool player.

It seems that the original starters in Su Chen's system are not as good as the starters replaced from the rotation, after all, they don't need to look at the offense.

Warriors attack round.

For this bench lineup, Su Chen only designed some simple dislocations and pick-and-roll tactics.

After all, Jarrett Jack and David Lee are only capable of singles.

Especially Jarrett Jack, he is a strong breakthrough guard. Although he can shoot, he does not have the ability to make difficult three-pointers, but he can pull out mid-range shots.

In the beginning, Jarrett Jack and Azeri played a pick-and-roll, and after the pick-and-roll, they broke through and made an emergency stop to prepare for a throw.

But Leonard circled the pick-and-roll very well, and a pair of long arms interfered with Jarrett Jack from behind.

clang.

There is no doubt that the ball is a strike.

The Spurs did not rush to play fast breaks, but chose to slow down and play positional warfare.

Facing Jarrett Jack, Popovich has found a way to deal with him.

The reason why Gary Neal was not replaced and Parker continued to play was that Popovich guessed that Jarrett Jack would come back to bring the second team.

Jarrett Jack is physically strong and not afraid of some heavy guards, but facing speed guards, his defense is clumsy.

Neither Parker nor Ginobili is something Jarrett Jack can handle.

Even if Su Chen wanted to design tactics to protect Jarrett Jack, if he couldn't defend against both of them, Su Chen had very little room for maneuver.

Parker suddenly accelerated, one step past Jarrett Jack, and Ezeri was forced to help defend the basket.

Parker made a ground pass, and Splitter, who followed up, received the ball comfortably.

Azeri was already out of position in order to defend against Parker, so he could only watch Splitter rushing over for a layup.

Splitter was able to dunk the ball but didn't dunk it, obviously to save energy, which is the traditional team culture of the Spurs.

Don't dunk if you can layup, don't shoot if you can pass, thirty points is the selfish line.

Spurs 21:21 Warriors.

The Spurs tied the score at the start.

Su Chen scratched her hair, looking a little helpless.

That's why he wants Curry to come on after 2 minutes, and Jarrett Jack usually gets beaten up when he faces an opposing star guard.

This is why, Jarrett-Jack is obviously scoring very hard, but he is always traded and moved to various teams.

Neither is Curry's defense.

Curry's defense is not as bad as the impression, and the public impression of Curry's defense is generally underestimated.

Even if Curry's defense is not excellent, at least Curry can respond to three-pointers, which is the most important thing.

The camera also captured Su Chen's helpless expression.

Now everyone knows that Su Chen is dissatisfied with Jarrett Jack.
