It's just that as the game gradually deepened, the Spurs' defense became stronger and stronger, and the defensive range gradually shifted from the inside to the outside, which greatly limited the output of the Pelicans' outside firepower.

The Pelicans' output firepower decreased, and the Spurs' consistent scoring gradually widened the gap between the two teams.

Yang Yi didn't care too much about the outcome. He played his own style as always, focusing on observing the Spurs' tactics, their staffing, firepower output, and so on.He wanted to find a way to deal with the Spurs through this simulation training, even if it was just the first game.

As the game progressed, Yang Yi found some flaws. The Spurs had the ball mainly between Parker, Ginobili and Duncan, and the firepower output was dominated by Parker and Duncan, supplemented by other players.

He also noticed a detail. The Spurs small forward Kawhi Leonard is very good at personal steals. In the first half, he had personal steals to Aminu four times.This is a very impressive statistic. The steals obtained by judging the passing route are still normal, but being able to steal and match up under close defense is undoubtedly a performance of strong defensive ability.

It seems that brother with facial paralysis should also pay attention!The fat man thought while dribbling the ball.Leonard's defensive ability is very strong. He can always defend against the Pelicans' backcourt players. Except for Yang Yi who can force a breakthrough, few players can escape from him.

After the first half, the two teams tied at 50:50.Although the Spurs' defensive strength is constantly increasing, the Pelicans' firepower has not been affected much. To be precise, Yang Yi's firepower has not been affected much.

In the first half, his touch was very good, and his three-point shooting after the pick-and-roll was even more superb. He alone scored more than half of his team's points-28 points.

Of course, he did not take too many shots from the team, which was almost the same as the usual number of shots. The key is that his shooting percentage is really good. In the first half, he made 14 out of 13 shots, and his shooting percentage was over 90.00%.

Among them, the three-pointer is the focus. He made 4 of 4 three-pointers and scored 12 points; he made 9 of 8 mid-range shots and scored 16 points.It can be said that in the first half, Yang Yi supported the Pelicans.

If it wasn't for simulated training, Yang Yi would definitely jump up happily.He rarely achieves his current shooting percentage, and he is very happy to be able to show his super scoring ability on such a grand stage in the playoffs.

I just don't know if this effect can be achieved in real games.

Originally, according to the current competition, Yang Yi wouldn't care too much whether he wins or loses.This is always just a simulation training, not to mention that he also saw unknown things such as the Spurs' tactics and firepower configuration.

But Gordon's injury made his heart sink.

At the end of the third quarter, Gordon accidentally fell to the ground and injured himself while fighting for a rebound with Ginobili. At that time, Yang Yi was resting on the bench.It was diagnosed by the team doctor as a calf muscle strain, and he had to rest for a while.

You know, Gordon is the second general of the Pelicans. Apart from Yang Yi, the Pelicans have the strongest attack power.

Gordon's absence undoubtedly caused the Pelicans to lose part of their firepower output, and all the pressure was on Yang Yi alone.Although he still tried his best and tried his best to attack the basket, he couldn't do anything when the Spurs' defense focused on him.

Even if he scored a game-high 57 points, it still couldn't save the fact that the Pelicans were defeated.In the end, the Pelicans lost to the Spurs by 108:94, 12 points, and lost at home.

Yang Yi was in a bad mood, he didn't know whether all the results in the simulation training would be realized.If Gordon was really injured, he would have to make preparations early, otherwise it would definitely be useless to burn incense when the incident came to an end.

He told the system wizard about his question, hoping that No. [-] could answer it for him.But number three can't say one, two, three, it's just a system elf, and doesn't know how to solve Yang Yi's problem at all.

In the end, Yang Yi decided that at the end of the third quarter, he must not put Gordon on the court, even if he himself went up, he would not hesitate.He didn't want to be a lone hero like Iverson. First, he couldn't grasp the outcome and wasted such a good opportunity of simulation training;

Although people like stars with strong personal heroism.

Since the Spurs and Thunder are still fighting, the Pelicans can only train at home to prepare for the next opponent.

Yang Yi did not tell Williams the Spurs tactics he knew during the simulation training, nor did he tell Gordon that he might be injured.He was afraid that the simulation training would not work well after telling them, and that would be a waste of systematic simulation training.

As for Gordon's problem, he intends to find an excuse to let Gordon rest in the third quarter and escape the disaster.It would be great if he could escape, but Gordon was doomed if he could not.It is impossible for Yang Yi to tell Gordon that he may be injured and therefore not let him play.If he really did this, he would definitely be laughed off by Gordon, and his teammates and the head coach would not care.

Just kidding, who won't get hurt playing basketball, it's normal to get a little bit injured in such an intense sport in the playoffs.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to tell Eric to let him rest at the end of the third quarter, no matter what method is used.Fatty secretly made a decision in his heart, he must ensure that Gordon has no problems to the greatest extent, otherwise the match against the Spurs would not be fun.

On May 2, the Western Conference finals came as scheduled.According to the home and away system of the regular season rankings, the Pelicans first obtain home court advantage.According to the 2-1-1-1-4 competition system, the confrontation between the two teams will first have two games at the Pelicans home smoothie king center, and then go to the Spurs home game for two games.If the problem can be solved in four rounds, then no matter who is the host or who is the guest, it will be fine.If the battle cannot be resolved in [-] games, the Pelicans will always have one more home court advantage.

Today's game is held at the home of the Pelicans.

The sports scene in New Orleans hasn't been this lively for a long time, and the streets of New Orleans, which are usually not crowded, are empty.In addition to the [-] seats inside the arena being packed, people gathered around the arena, hoping to see the home team's game from the big screen outside the arena.

The Western Conference Finals were so out of reach for them in the past, even with Paul and West working together, they failed to bring the team to this level.And now, the team they support is already at the top of the league. Whether it is the regular season champion or the semi-finals of the playoffs, it is not the height that the Hornets could reach.

The Spurs finally defeated the Thunder to win the tickets to the Western Conference Finals, preparing to compete with the newly emerging Pelicans.The atmosphere of the fans is warm, and the players of both sides are eager to fight. The Western Conference finals of the 2012-2013 season are imminent.
