Chapter 670 Possessed by Yang Shuai

"The Warriors' active change is the most important reason for their final victory in this game. In the two games in San Antonio, Tony Parker sent 50 points and 19 assists, but in this game, he only had 9 points and 4 assists. Young's defense against Tony is the most important reason why the Warriors have an advantage at the beginning of this game. When the Spurs are restricted on the offensive end, their defense is obviously not enough to cause too much damage to the Warriors. big trouble..."

"Defense? Maybe, Young's defense against Tony is an important reason for the Warriors to win, but we should see Young's performance on the offensive end. With 37 points, 12 assists and 13 rebounds, Yang once again hit a triple-double. What he didn't do in San Antonio..."

"It was a typical Warriors victory. Young had a triple-double, Tyreke had 2155, and the team made 13 three-pointers. Everything was so normal. When the Warriors play a normal offense, the league can It's going to take quality and luck to keep them from winning, and obviously the Spurs didn't have both tonight..."

After the game, various media commented on the game, and when it comes to the victory of the Warriors, Yang Shuai will inevitably be mentioned.Whether it is offense or defense, Yang Shuai is the most critical figure in this game. The data of 3712 completely revitalized the team's offense, and on the defensive end, his restriction on Parker is indeed a key factor for the Warriors to win. [

Throughout the game, Parker was completely lost in Yang Shuai's defense. Behind his 9 points and 4 assists was a low shooting percentage of 12 of 3 shots and 5 turnovers.In the first two games, Parker was the strongest point of the Spurs' offense and also the core of the organization. In this game, Parker had no power in these two aspects, and the Spurs' offense fell into chaos.

Of course, Evans was also one of the contributors to the Warriors' victory. After the 0:2 loss to the Spurs, many experts pointed out that the Warriors' offense relied too much on Yang Shuai, and no other players stood up to share the pressure for Yang Shuai. Chang Bi has such a character.

21分5次助攻5个篮板2个抢断，埃文斯在这场比赛的表现可圈可点，甚至在三分线外都有4投2中的表现。

In the playoffs, the strength of both sides and the performance of the stars are of course very important factors for winning, but flexibility is also a very important factor.

The Warriors took the initiative to make changes on the defensive end and made positive changes on the offensive end, so they won the third game.However, the Warriors did not get carried away because of this game. The Warriors knew very well that even after winning the third game, they still fell behind their opponents 1:2. Four games to make some changes.

As expected, in the fourth game, the Warriors still adopted the strategy of letting Yang Shuai defend Parker, but compared with the third game, the effect was quite different.

The fourth game between the two sides is still at the Oracle Arena, and the starting lineup has not changed, but the Spurs' offense has changed a lot.

It's not a big change for Duncan to mention high-post support. After all, the Spurs have always done this in the previous games, but they used it more frequently in this game.

Ginobili's more participation in organizing offense is another change for the Spurs. Evans' defense for Ginobili is also considered good, but compared with Yang Shuai, it is obviously not so in place. Naturally, the defensive pressure is less than that of Parker.

Although Ginobili played as a shooting guard, his organizational ability has not been praised too much, but he has been doing very well in this regard, and it is for him to let him share more offensive organizational tasks Not too much difficulty.

Although Parker was restrained by Yang Shuai in the third game, he has a very good strength after all, and it is impossible for Popovich to abolish such a strong point.For Parker, he also made some changes.

Yang Shuai's defense is recognized as strong, and the best defensive player of the year is not simply because of his good statistics.Outstanding defensive awareness, abnormal physical fitness, and high defensive concentration. Facing such a tough Yang Shuai, what should Parker do?Popovich gave a very good answer, hide!

Hide if you can't afford it, this is Parker's strategy to break Yang Shuai's defense in the game.During the game, Jefferson frequently put up pick-and-roll screens for Parker, forcing Yang Shuai and Hinrich to switch defenses. Once successful, Parker will face Hinrich's defense, and Parker will also have a place to play.

Under such adjustments, the Spurs' offense has changed significantly compared to the previous game. Although the score has not increased significantly, the situation is quite different.

At the end of the first half, the two teams scored 51:52, and the Warriors only had a 1-point lead.The Spurs have improved on the offensive end, and the Warriors have much less chance to counterattack. More importantly, the Warriors cannot show the same oppressive momentum as they did in the last game.

After entering the second half, the Spurs seemed to be playing more vigorously. They played a wave of 13:4 in the middle of the third quarter and once widened the point difference to 7 points. Morrow's good performance after playing also gradually narrowed the point difference.

78:78, after the third quarter, the two teams were tied.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Yang Shuai was still sitting on the sidelines, and Nelson sent a small lineup at this time.Center Channing - Frye, four outside players Evans, Belinelli, Morrow, Collison.Such a lineup relies more on the outside to attack, but it has an absolute disadvantage in defense.

Sure enough, Morrow missed a shot from outside the three-point line in the first attack at the beginning of the fourth quarter. After the Spurs grabbed the rebound, they quickly handed over the inside attack and got 2 points to take the lead. [

As soon as the ball was scored, Frye under the basket had already sent the ball, and several Warriors players also rushed towards the other half quickly.The advantage of a small lineup lies in flexibility and speed. If these two advantages cannot be fully utilized, the old Nelson's arrangement will lose its meaning.

Frye stepped forward to pick and roll, and Collison immediately dribbled towards the basket. At this time, the Spurs' basket was completely empty. After all, all five Warriors players can shoot three-pointers.

The ball was thrown suddenly in the rush, and Collison only rushed two steps before passing the ball. The ball flew out of Collison's hands and went straight to Anthony Morrow outside the three-point line on the right.

Danny Green did not expect that Morrow would make a fake shot at this time, and when he reacted Morrow has already rushed to the basket quickly.

Matt Bonner defended, and Morrow put out both hands and directly stuffed the ball to Belinelli who cut to the basket. Belinelli caught the ball and made an easy layup.

The advantage of a small lineup is really reflected in the offense. Collison, Morrow, Belinelli, and Evans are all players who can shoot from outside the three-point line and can break through the dribble. , This also doubled the Spurs' defensive pressure.

Freira went out to pick and roll outside and free up space under the basket. After receiving the ball, the four hit the basket in turn. The first 4 points of the Warriors after the start of the fourth quarter were all breakthroughs to the basket.

Collison dribbles again into half court, then flicks the ball to Evans to the right.

Taking a step to the left to catch the ball, Evans made an emergency stop and changed direction and has already dribbled to the right. Beside him, Ginobili quickly clung to Evans and headed towards the basket move.

Taking two steps against Ginobili, Evans suddenly turned around and broke away from Ginobili's entanglement. At this time, the ball went to Belinelli outside the three-point line on the right.Because of the Warriors' offense in the previous few rounds, the Spurs players shrunk more within the three-point line at this time, which also led to a weakening of the defensive strength near the three-point line.

After receiving a pass from Evans, Belinelli slammed the ball toward the top of the arc. At this time, Collison was standing outside the three-point line to defend.

"Shua!" After receiving the ball and making a shot, Collison made a steady shot.

82:85, the Warriors gained a 3-point lead, the ball went to the Spurs, and George Hill, who came off the bench, took the ball across the frontcourt and sent the ball directly to Ginobili.

Made a fake shot from outside the three-point line, Ginobili shook Evans' center of gravity slightly, and immediately dribbled the ball to the basket. Evans didn't let the opponent relax, and his body kept moving. The force interferes with the opponent's breakthrough.

Seeing Ginobili rush into the three-second zone, Frye also ignored McDyess and quickly moved forward to defend.Rushing into the basket, he plunged into Frye's arms. Ginobili grabbed the ball from Frye's side and stuffed it to McDyess outside the three-second zone on the left.

The ball flew out of Ginobili's hand, but it didn't fly directly to McDyess. I don't know whether Frye's judgment was correct or he moved it accidentally. basketball.Although the force is not great, it changes the direction of the ball's flight.

The distance was so close that McDyess had no time to react when he saw the ball flying past his eyes. When he turned around to get the ball, it was already a step too late. Collison appeared in time and took the ball in his hands .

Grabbing the ball in his hands, Collison raised his head and looked forward, then threw out his hands violently, and the ball flew straight forward.

When receiving the pass from Collison, Morrow just crossed the center line, dribbled and continued to rush forward, chasing Danny Green and rushing to the basket on the other side.

stop!After rushing beyond the three-point line, Morrow suddenly stopped, took off, and shot!

Danny Green was completely unprepared. He was facing Morrow and not Yang Shuai. How could he beware that the opponent would choose to shoot a three-pointer in the fast break?

"Shua!" Green waved his arms and rushed forward again without affecting Morrow's shot. He raised the knife and hit a three-pointer! [

"This guy, is Yang possessed?" In front of Morrow, Danny Green muttered sourly in his heart.

"Good shot!" On the bench, Yang Shuai jumped up and shouted. Morrow's hit brought the score of the two teams to 82:88, and the Warriors gained a 6-point advantage.

"Dick!" Popovich called out a timeout, and Yang Shuai also took off the towel on his body at this time. After the timeout, he will play. His teammates have helped the team gain an advantage. All he has to do is Help the team keep the fruits of this victory.
