Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

第230章 总决赛首胜！艾弗森22+8+11！阿联怒砍20+！

In the second quarter, both sides sent substitutes, and the Spurs had five players: Neal, Ginobili, Leonard, Diaw, and DeJuan Blair.

76ers five: Jrue Holiday, Vujacic, Peja Stojakovic, Brand, Vucevic.

Leonard took a 4-minute rest in the first quarter and now continues to play to improve the defense of the second team.

The Spurs' backup swingmen are all pitchers, and only Leonard can be considered both offensive and defensive. He can stay on the court to help defend, and usually rests with Danny Green during the rotation.

Lu Yong asked Arenas to continue to sit on the bench. His role in the finals was obviously not as good as in the semifinals, and the selection was very targeted.

The Spurs have a good scoring ability in the backcourt. The 76ers need a player who is good at defense. Even if they fight for offense, they cannot completely abandon defense.Holiday is at a disadvantage against Parker, but it would be much more suitable to face Ginobili. He will constantly entangle himself and use a mad dog-like closeness to limit Ginobili's breakthrough.

When the two faced off, Holiday had no physical disadvantage and even had the upper hand in strength. He didn't have to worry about being pushed away by the "Demon Sword" body and then turning over and shooting a jumper.

Vujacic's task is much simpler. When he comes on, he just catches the ball and shoots jumpers. The three-pointer is the biggest help to the 76ers.

In addition, although Vucevic is only a first-year rookie, he has an advantage against DeJuan Blair.

Blair is a short insider, only 2 meters tall, and his attitude is quite positive. However, his offense is too bad, and his scoring depends entirely on eating cakes and secondary attacks.In the regular season, Blair averaged 01 points, 9 rebounds and 5 steal per game. However, entering the playoffs, his height disadvantage was greatly magnified by his opponents. He only averaged 1 points and 4 rebounds per game, which was nothing to be afraid of.

Facing Vucevic, he couldn't score easily under the basket. He had no shooting range when he pulled out. He was just a blue-collar player who dared to fight and fight. Lu Yong was very experienced in dealing with this kind of player.

This is indeed the case. Vucevic quickly took advantage after coming on the court. On the offensive end, he moved to the top of the arc to provide support from the high post, and scored two consecutive three-pointers from the outside.The defensive end could limit Blair's scoring by raising his hands high, and also gave him a clean volleyball block, which greatly boosted Bo's morale.

Three minutes later, the 3ers took advantage of a climax to widen the point difference to double digits.

Popovich roared gloomily and was forced to call a timeout to make adjustments, replacing DeJuan Blair and putting Duncan back on the court.

Barkley said with a smile: "In these few minutes, the 76ers' offense completely defeated the Spurs. Even Vucevic acted like a star. He was full of chaos in the penalty area. People who didn't know better thought he was an All-Star-level insider."

Kenny Smith said: "DeJuan Blair has always been like this. He played well in the regular season, but once he entered the playoffs, he was either frozen or beaten. His height was such a disadvantage. The Spurs must give Duncan a contract in the summer. Find a decent substitute, otherwise it will be difficult for him to hold up physically."

When DeJuan Blair was exposed and turned into a scumbag, the Spurs didn't even have a reliable substitute at the center position. Naturally, Lu Yong would not let go of this irreparable flaw, and arranged for players to attack fiercely, which achieved very good results.

Lu Yong didn't make any substitutions, and Vucevic almost had trouble guarding Duncan, but he didn't suffer from his movement speed or height, so he had no problem guarding him for a while.Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't defend, as long as you can attack.

For Lu Yong, defense is just an embellishment when arranging the team's offense. When a choice between the two must be made, he will definitely choose offense without hesitation.

The 76ers' second team had good offensive firepower and became the key to the team's lead in the second quarter.

Vucevic was able to keep up with Duncan, and Brand clearly had the upper hand when he bullied the fat boy Diaw. The 76ers' substitute twin towers performed well, giving Lu Yong a shot of reassurance.

After Diaw came on in the second quarter, he made 3 of 0 shots and did not score a point.

On the defensive end, he was also wildly ravaged by Brand. When he was replaced, his face was full of grievances, like a little daughter-in-law who went home to complain.

Brand mainly relies on his body to play, and Diaw's body is full of soft fat. It is absolutely refreshing to fight against a tough guy like Brand.

In the second half, the Spurs relied on the stable performance of the "troika" to gradually narrow the point difference, and the game entered a fierce stage.

At the end of the quarter, Lu Yong changed his formation again.

Taking advantage of Tony Parker's rest, he sent out a double guard of Thomas Jr. and Iverson. The three frontcourt players were Iguodala, Garnett, and Yi Jianlian. All five starting players were present, and he planned to use the time difference to defeat the Spurs. Caught off guard.

Although Lu Yong has strict requirements on the rotation time of the main players, and he is not used to beating the main players to death, at this point in the game, the focus is on strategy.

If you want to open up the score in a short period of time, using the main force on the bench in the first half is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.

The second team led by Ginobili was not bad, but it was quickly defeated against the 76ers starting lineup.

The 76ers executed a crazy double-team on Ginobili. Every time he broke through, he could only choose to distribute the ball to the outside.However, the touch of his teammates was not strong enough. Neal and Danny Green's several good open shots missed the basket, and they missed a good opportunity to widen the point difference.

On the other hand, the 76ers grabbed the backcourt rebound and immediately launched a counterattack. Even center Yi Jianlian sprinted with all his strength and the speed increased very quickly.

Yi Jianlian's athletic talent began to take advantage. In two consecutive rounds, he succeeded in a fast break dunk from Split. He also made an air cut in the position and caused a foul on "Red Mamba" Bonner, leading the team to a climax.

After a 9-2 run, the 76ers recovered the score, and Popovich called a timeout with an angry look on his face.

After the timeout, Popovich did not replace Ginobili, but brought Parker on to the court early to strengthen the backcourt offense.The three frontcourt players are Leonard, Matt Bonner, and Splitter.

The effect of this adjustment was immediate. As soon as Parker came on, the Spurs' positional attack instantly became smoother, and even the running tactics were well understood.

First, Matt Bonner relied on Splitter's screen to get rid of Garnett, and received an assist from Parker and hit a three-pointer.After that, Parker broke through and scored Thomas alone, and hit the board with a high throw against the defense.

In just one minute, the Spurs regained their form. They are worthy of being a veteran team, unique in the league in their ability to adjust their form.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Yong also requested a timeout.

He made adjustments to the lineup and sent in Vujacic to replace Iguodala.

The purpose of the adjustment is to enhance shooting. Leonard will be the league's top star in the future, but now he is just a younger brother, averaging only 6.4 shots per game.Iguodala's excellent forward defense did not play much role. Many times, Lu Yong would boldly use Vujacic to compete passionately with the Spurs' offense.

Iverson was still responsible for organization in this quarter, playing pick-and-rolls with his teammates and breaking through to score the ball. His superb dribbling skills easily broke through the Spurs' defense. In the eyes of fans, he dreamed of returning to the top.

In order to improve the height of the lineup, Popovich did not replace Split, which turned out to be his biggest mistake in personnel selection.

Not only did Split have zero presence on the offensive end, but he also didn't make much contribution defensively. He was blocked by Alien's sudden outside shot, and he was not as useful as Bonner, who could be pulled from the outside to shoot three-pointers.

Barkley couldn't help but joked: "The most valuable player of the Spanish ACB League seems to have never adapted to the rhythm of the NBA. He still hasn't made much progress in the second year of his career. He can even make tip-ins on the offensive end and stay on the court. He only scored 2 points in total, and he couldn’t defend against a big man with nimble feet when he was on defense. I really don’t know how long the Spurs plan to train him.”

Barkley does have a venomous mouth, but he looks at the problem sharply.

The success of the 76ers during this period is entirely due to the support of their opponents. As long as the Spurs have a good player at the center position, the Spurs will not play in such a mess.

The 76ers quickly recovered the score, but the score difference was always within 5 points, and the game was very close.

In the last 2 minutes, the two teams were tied at 115-115. Lu Yong used the dead ball to make substitutions and replaced Arenas, Iverson, Iguodala, Yi Jianlian, and Vucevic.

Garnett was exhausted and took a rest. He played a full 39 minutes tonight, and even his calves were shaking when he was replaced.Lu Yong emphasized that the offensive end should be aggressive, and if you can cooperate, you should cooperate. If you can't follow the tactics, you can play alone.The Spurs old guys are even more physically exhausted, and their ineffective defense has long since lost its deterrent effect.

For the 76ers, personal heroism is also a tactic. Who can let the team have more stars, even if they are old.

As for the reuse of Arenas, it is because he has sufficient physical strength and confidence to play key goals. This is the right time for him to display his characteristics.

The five Spurs are Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, Duncan and Splitter.The troika has a forward and a center, a standard Spurs-style starting lineup.

After the substitution, Arenas dribbled the ball across half court and organized in the middle to observe his teammates.

Yi Jianlian pulled up from the baseline to provide a screen for the general. Arenas only played for more than 5 minutes tonight. He didn't even break a sweat. He was the 76ers' first offensive point.

Arenas accelerated in a straight line and passed Parker in one step. He turned around with the ball and faced Split with a one-handed basketball.

Split's defense was slow and he couldn't cover it when he jumped up, 117 to 115.

Barkley shouted: "Beautiful! He is indeed a star who rivaled Kobe Bryant in his peak period. Arenas hit the ball too hard, one on two at the basket. This is a reflection of his personal ability."

Kenny Smith laughed and said: "It turns out that this is the reason why Lu Shuai has not sent Arenas on the court. He planned to let him come on at the end to end the game. This is indeed a job he likes."

When the Spurs attacked, Parker and Duncan played pick-and-rolls. The massive consumption of physical energy prevented the "French sports car" from stepping on the accelerator. A sudden step was blocked by Arenas, and he could only distribute the ball to the outside.

Leonard caught the ball and broke through to the basket, leaning on his shoulders, turning to the middle and shooting a fadeaway jumper.

His physical fitness is not bad, but his skills have not reached the peak, and his mentality is not good. He is far from the peak Kaka.

Iguodala has been keeping close to the defense, and he made an accurate judgment on the final shot, reaching out and jumping to interfere.

Leonard's shot was too strong. The ball hit the neck of the basket and bounced off the basket. The rebound was protected by Vucevic.

In a positional battle, Arenas slowly dribbled the ball across half court, waiting for his teammates to get into position.

The Spurs defended a 2-3 zone, seemingly intending to make up for their lack of physical fitness through the strength of the team.

Arenas played a pick-and-roll in the middle and then broke through. He went to the right to attract Ginobili's defense and quickly moved the ball to the outside.

Iverson received the ball at a 45-degree angle on the right side and made a decisive jump shot in the mid-air.Ginobili was too late to defend, so he could only use his hand to interfere slightly. The ball had a very straight trajectory, piercing the sky and accurately falling into the net. Whoops!In! 120 to 115.

The mood of all the Spurs generals hit rock bottom with this three-pointer, especially Popovich. The expression on his face became increasingly unstable and he stared at the court with a frown.

The Spurs attacked, and Duncan blocked Yi Jianlian with his left horn and reached for the ball for a one-on-one challenge.

This time he turned around to face the frame and took a test step. He took a step to the middle and hit the board, showing off his signature move.

Unfortunately, Duncan's shot was too weak and missed the frame. Vucevic picked off the backcourt rebound and quickly launched a counterattack.

Iguodala received the ball in the frontcourt and greatly changed his direction to distance himself from Leonard, attracting Parker to help defend, and threw the ball high to Iverson.

Iverson burst out from the weak side, tapped the basketball with one hand in the air, and scored with a quick alley-oop. 122 to 115, the 76ers once again hit a 7-0 wave, and Popovich stood up and asked for a timeout.

At the end of the timeout, Parker singled out Arenas with the ball, took a sudden step to clear the space, turned his back and threw the iron.

Yi Jianlian grabbed the backcourt rebound and protected it in front of his chest, waiting for his teammates to come forward to respond.

At this time, the Spurs were already 7 points behind. As the game time became less and less, the balance of victory was gradually tilting towards the 76ers.

Arenas dribbled the ball slowly across half court. Facing Parker, he did not rush to attack, but cleverly delayed the time, intending to use up 24 seconds.

In the last 8 seconds, Arenas accelerated towards the basket, disrupted the defensive formation and passed the ball to the left corner.

Iguodala, who was lurking in that position, didn't make a shot. He faked a move and swung Leonard away, then took a long two-point jumper with one step.

This is the embodiment of Iguodala's golf quotient. At this time, he would rather have an open shot for two points than force a three-pointer in front of Kawhi. His fake moves were smooth and silky, and he successfully created a shot opportunity.

Iguodala shot this ball at a good pace, and the ball hit the net hollowly. Whoops, 124 to 115.

The Spurs fans at home were silenced by the 76ers' unreasonable attack. The entire arena was like a dead city, with only the sound on the big screen echoing in everyone's ears.

Fans know in their hearts that the Spurs are done with this game and it is impossible to stage a comeback unless someone can borrow those 35 seconds from McGrady.

Barkley sighed softly: "Before the game, everyone thought the Spurs could easily defend their home court, but in the end they were going to lose. The 76ers' offense at the last moment was too stable. Arenas was definitely the contributor to the win. His physical fitness The advantages are on full display.”

Kenny Smith nodded and said: "Lou should have sent him to play in singles. Although he is a veteran now, his mental quality is not inferior to any star in the league. This kind of small scene will naturally not scare him."

The Spurs attacked, and Ginobili caught the ball and shot a jumper from outside the three-point line, but the shot was too hasty and was interfered by Iverson, who then hit another iron.

Iguodala rushed to the basket and grabbed the defensive rebound and passed it to Arenas. The Spurs reluctantly chose to commit a tactical foul.

The general made two steady free throws from the free throw line, and the score difference reached 11 points, and the game lost suspense.

The Spurs served from the baseline and gave up the offense, and the final whistle sounded.

126 to 115, the 76ers defeated the Spurs in an away game and got a good start in the finals.

The most eye-catching performance of the 76ers was Iverson, who scored 22 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 steals. Although he failed to score a triple-double as expected, he was the biggest contributor to the team's victory.

易建联表现也很劲爆，12投7中，三分球5中3，罚球4中4，得到21分8篮板2助攻1盖帽，刷新季后赛单场得分新高。

加内特得到12分14篮板5助攻2抢断1盖帽，数据一般，却胜在全能。

The 76ers team's offense flourished. Thomas Jr., who was temporarily named the starter, also contributed a wonderful performance. He played 27 minutes and scored 16 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. His matchup with Parker left a deep impression on the fans.

On the Spurs side, Parker scored 26 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals, Duncan and Ginobili also scored 18+, Gary Neal scored 13 points, and other players scored in single digits.
