Opening Kobe template, rewarding Curry with three points

Chapter 268: The finals won’t be about beating the Bulls, right?The ultimate secret!
"I hate three-pointers!"

After the game, Popovich complained seriously,
“The three-point shot takes away from the charm of the basketball game.”

"But Coach Popovich, your Spurs team is one of the teams that shoots the most three-pointers in the league..."

Popovich gave the reporter a hard look.

How long has it been and you still find fault with me? Are you a devil?

Closer to home, Popovich was really depressed tonight.

It was really difficult for him to let go of losing the game in this way.

Soon after, Popovich, who was reviewing the game, always had a thought in his mind - what if the Warriors do this again in the next two games?
3-0, even 3-1 is something the Spurs cannot bear.

2 to 2, must be 2 to 2!

Popovich reasoned in his mind.

Now, all he needs now is to ensure that the next two games are foolproof.

At this time, Popovich didn't know why he thought of Bowen.

Well, it would be nice if Bowen was here at this time.

If you can't solve the problem, then solve the person who created the problem, old Popovich.

……

On the other side, the Warriors coaching staff headed by Smart was thinking about whether they could replicate the winning pattern of this game, and then Smart and his team gave up.

G2's cheating winning model really depends on fate and cannot be copied.

Of course, if you want to have this kind of life, you also need to have this kind of strength. For example, if you change to the Heat...

They can't score so many three-pointers even if they shoot dead!

Thinking about it, the final instruction given by Smart was to remain unchanged in response to any changes.

There is no way, he does not have the strong tactical deduction and response capabilities of Nelson, so he can only start by being himself.

Su Bai, on the other hand, was recovering his physical strength in an orderly manner.

In fact, what Smart did is right. When it is impossible to predict the external situation, sometimes focusing on oneself is indeed the best choice.

On the 25th, the Warriors and their team went to San Antonio early, showing the respect of their team, the Spurs.

Because their Western Conference Finals G3 game will start on the 27th.

By arriving two days in advance to adapt, Su Bai and the others really gave the Spurs face.

Well...although the Spurs don't want this face.

Before departure, coach Smart said that the record is not important, but playing at your own level is the most important.

Others didn't know, but Su Bai guessed Coach Smart's nervousness.

Facing an old monster like Popovich, Smart is really much more mature.

"At least take away a win in San Antonio!"

Compared with coach Smart, Su Bai's declaration obviously gave the Warriors players more confidence.

Su Bai's idea is very simple, the battle must be resolved within five games.

It's not that he looks down on the Spurs, but Su Bai really doesn't like playing G6.

Because if he plays G6, it means that he needs to go to an away game again. The second is the fatigue of flying and traveling, and the key is that he will not see his daughter for a long time...

Popovich didn't know what Su Bai was thinking, otherwise he would definitely want to scold her again.

Is this why you want to eliminate us in five games?
Su Bai: No, no, no, I’m not targeting you, I’m doing this to all teams!

Then, just as Su Bai and others were already preparing for the G3 game of the Western Conference Finals in San Antonio...

Miami, James exploded!
In fact, James had some lingering fears after completing the buzzer beater in the last game.

They almost, almost lost to the Bulls!

For James, who wants to compete for the championship, this kind of Eastern Conference Finals is really not what he expected.

However, Rose's strong performance made all this happen.

Then in this game, Rose continued his Rose Road, scoring 33 points with sparks and lightning all the way.

To be fair, the Heat can't accept Rose's 33 points, because James scored a game-high 36 points.

What James couldn't accept the most was that Boozer on the Bulls broke out. He made 16 of 11 and 10 of 9 free throws. He scored 31 points extremely efficiently and grabbed 12 rebounds!
The Heat were once troubled by Rose and Boozer's pick-and-roll!
You know, Boozer is not only the "rebel" of the Jazz, but also the traitor of the Cavaliers, so James is really unhappy.

But... Boozer's anti-aircraft gun type shot really relied more on his touch. James tried to defend it himself... but it was useless!

So, on this night when Heat fans cried, the Bulls took away a hard-won victory from the American Airlines Center.

After the game, Rose was really satisfied, but he was not that arrogant. He just said a cold word in the interview after the game!

"That's what we're here to do!"

"We won't be playing the Bulls in the finals, right?"

During practice the next day, Curry complained to his teammates.

To be fair, not only the fans, but everyone on the Warriors side also thought their opponent in the finals would be the Heat.

Now it seems that the Bulls really have no hope of overturning the Heat.

"Don't think too much, we haven't beaten the Spurs yet." Yao said in a deep voice.

Curry made a face and did not dare to refute.

What he just said was indeed a bit too arrogant.

Now, winning the Spurs is really the business.

Su Bai smiled and said nothing.

Although he thinks the same thing as Curry, there are some things he can say, but he still has to be cautious.

So what, save your character, save your character!
……

San Antonio is not a big city in the NBA, and given the nature of their military town, the market is not that big either.

But because of GDP, there are many Spurs fans here.

However, in the past two days, Spurs fans have been in a really bad mood.

To be honest, before the start of this series, many Spurs fans felt that they could at least win one game in San Francisco and gain home court advantage.

Even going 2-0 against the Warriors is not impossible.

Then, when the Spurs players returned to San Antonio in disgrace with a 0-2 deficit, those Spurs fans had to admit it.

Gan!
Are we already so far behind in the big score?
Not to mention the home field advantage, maybe these are the last two games we will watch at home in the playoffs this season.

To be fair, given the state the Warriors showed in the first two games, it is not impossible to beat the Spurs twice in three games.

Spurs fans are really feeling uncomfortable at this time.

There is a saying that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If it weren't for the Spurs to win this season, and if the Spurs' previous strong performance hadn't given them hope, they really wouldn't be so entangled now.

However, now that the matter has come to this, they really have no way out.

So, come on GDP, we will always support you.

……

In the past two days, the Warriors really did not conduct any targeted tactical drills, but asked the players to do simple physical recovery training.

In Su Bai's opinion, Coach Smart was really a different kind of lying down.

Although, Su Bai also knew that he was playing tricks with Popovich, and he didn't even know that Coach Smart would be sold... On the other hand, Popovich led the Spurs players for tactical drills without any suspense!

Only this time, Popovich did not emphasize offensive tactics, but emphasized defense!
Well, yes, it's defense.

In Popovich's opinion, they score about 110 points per game which is already very good. You can't expect the disciples to explode and score 120 or even 130 points, right?

Of course, you can win that way, but it relies too much on luck, and what Popovich wants now is to win steadily.

Therefore, he decided to work harder on the defensive end!
Popovich knows that using force on the defensive end may affect his feel, but he really can't care about that much anymore!
"Harden up!

Get me so hard! "

"Yes, just challenge me like this!
Even if they can't be stopped, their physical energy must be consumed! "

"Harder! Harder!"
We have no retreat!Must win the next two games! "

In the Spurs training facility, Popovich's roar kept echoing.

Popovich also wanted to communicate with his disciples calmly.

But it’s too late, it’s really too late!

He must convey his ideas completely.

It also made his disciples realize the importance of the next two games!
Looking at the players whose defensive scale was getting bigger and bigger, Popovich nodded with satisfaction.

"Su, let's see if you can score points like that crazily in the face of our dragnet!" Popovich revealed a sinister smile.

……

On the evening of the 27th, San Antonio, AT&T Center Arena.

The G3 game of the Western Conference Finals has officially begun.

Although the Spurs are far less popular than the Lakers, the ratings for this series are still very high.

Because the Warriors alone already have great fan appeal!

In the TNT live commentary box, O'Neal, who was warming up, asked Barkley a difficult question, "Charles, what do you think the Spurs should do to win tonight's game?"

Unexpectedly, Barkley solved the problem in an understatement, "Shaq, they can just be themselves."

Kenny Smith thought for a moment and then nodded, "That's right.

In fact, the Spurs performed well in the first two games. The gap with the Warriors is really not big, and there are no obvious mistakes in tactics. As long as they play steadily, they have a lot of hope of winning. After all, this is the AT&T Center. "

Kenny Smith, who has a background as a player, is very aware of the bonus that home games bring to the home team!

O'Neal is really depressed now.

In terms of analysis of the situation, he is indeed inferior to the other two. It seems...

He should just live by playing Su Bai honestly.

Soon, after the opening ceremony that inspired the Spurs players, the starting players from both sides walked onto the court one after another.

At this time, the starting lineups of the two teams were shown on the big screen and the broadcast screen.

Warriors: Curry, Bo Yang, Su Bai, Sullinger and Dayao.

Spurs: Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, Duncan and Splitter.

Seeing this, almost all the commentators were stunned.

What's wrong with the Warriors? They've changed their formation again?
Or do you want to give the Spurs some color with a burst of three-pointers as soon as they come up?

To be fair, this is already the Warriors' third starting lineup in three games.

Beverley, Brandon Rush, Bojan, except for Kidd, all the other Warriors defenders have already started.

On the sidelines, Coach Smart, who knew he was being watched by close-ups and commentators again, had his arms crossed, showing a confident attitude.

In fact, this guy is also very unsure at this time.

Like many fans and experts, Smart originally wanted to keep the starting lineup from the previous game based on the principle that winners do not adjust the lineup.

As a result, Su Bai said, "To beat the Spurs, you must be unprepared. Coach, if you think Popovich can't guess what lineup we will put in, just put in whatever lineup you want!"

Then there’s their starting lineup tonight.

Coach Smart also knew that Su Bai's suggestion was a bit ridiculous, but when he thought about it, it really made sense.

Closer to home, in the center circle, when Dayao once again defeated Splitter and passed the ball to the Warriors half, Curry, who received the ball, was just about to start a quick attack when he heard the crazy boos from the Spurs fans at the scene. Voice.

Curry only felt the pressure coming on his face!

But Curry's pressure only lasted for a while, because he quickly handed the ball to Su Bai.

Leonard came up immediately and gave him a strong confrontation!
Leonard is as taciturn and facially paralyzed as Duncan, but he is never afraid of confrontation!

If the coach asks him to be tough, he will be tough. If the coach asks him to fight hard, he will fight hard. He can always implement Popovich's words very resolutely!
Su Bai also subconsciously realized what the Spurs wanted to do, but instead of passing the ball, he accelerated after the confrontation and left Leonard behind.

On the court, in terms of his ability to score against the odds, Su Bai doesn't look down on Curry and Dayao, but he is indeed the best at this!

"Bang!" "Swish!"

After entering the penalty area and confronting Duncan, Su Bai forcefully put the basketball into the basket!

2-0, Su Bai once again helped the Warriors open the scoring.

On the sidelines, Popovich was not unhappy because Su Bai scored. Instead, he clapped his hands and encouraged the court,

"Yes, that's it, get hard!

Such defensive intensity! "

In Popovich's view, although Su Bai was not forced to use his most efficient mid-range shot, it was really great to be able to defend to this extent.

Looking back, Duncan passed the ball hand-to-hand to assist Parker in scoring.

Beverley and Brandon Rush did not play. The Warriors will be defending Parker tonight with Curry. Duncan will not let go of such an opportunity.

Curry:? ? ?Why am I the one who got hurt?
On the Warriors' second attack, Su Bai faced a three-man blockade from Leonard, Duncan, and Split. Su Bai did not attack hard and passed the ball to Dayao. As a result, Dayao's three-point shot was blocked by Dan. Nick Green's quick defense missed the target!

On the sidelines, a serious-looking Popovich secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the beginning produced the effect he wanted.

Soon, the Spurs slowly gained the upper hand, especially after Ginobili scored two three-pointers. The Spurs already had a 26-point lead, 17-9.

On the sidelines, Coach Smart did not call a timeout. Instead, he followed the example of Coach Nelson and shouted to the court - "Su!!!"

All the Spurs generals on the court looked stunned. They all knew what Coach Smart's shout meant.

That is the ultimate essence of the Warriors!

Leonard felt his hair standing on end.

Leonard wanted to prevent Su Bai from catching the ball, but Su Bai directly passed the ball hand-to-hand with Curry.

Outside the three-point line, facing Leonard's junior version of "Death Coil", Su Bai...

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

After continuous dribbling changes, Leonard was left behind!
That posture didn't look like his physical strength was being consumed crazily.

On the sidelines, Popovich could only turn his attention to... Diaw?
Duncan, who was sitting on the bench to rest, was helpless.

The physical exertion of a big man is naturally higher than that of a small man.

As a result, Su Bai flashed across the Spurs' defense like a bolt of yellow lightning, and then suddenly soared into the air.

In the air, Su Bai's fully opened body was like a tomahawk, trying to split the entire stadium in half!
"Bam—!"
