Basketball: Ten consecutive draws at the start

Chapter 24: Dumb Fire (Collection).

Popovich deserves to be one of the legendary coaches, probably knowing that the Suns are preparing to drain the home team’s physical strength in the second quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Duncan, Parker and Kenoboli were replaced and the whole team came off the bench. It is clear that the Suns, whose offensive nature has not diminished, continue to maintain the bombardment tactic and score quickly.

But the Spurs are not to be outdone, the bench may not match the GDP combination in individual strength, but the amazing tactical execution ability makes the score clench, and sometimes even able to close the score under the Suns’ bombardment tactics.

After several consecutive rounds of matchmaking, the Suns not only failed to open the score but also allowed the opponent to narrow the gap to 4 points against the Spurs bench.

Finally, after the Spurs put down the Suns’ offense in a row, D’Antoni called a timeout.

“Guys, don’t tell me that the basket starts rejecting you in the second quarter, those soft bird egg guys can actually make you dumb!”

The players walked off the court, D’Antoni said in a bad tone, according to the original tactics, the second quarter was a good opportunity to open the score, but Leondro and others were repeatedly successfully defended by the Spurs, if this continues, the odds of winning the second half of the game will continue to decline.

“Coach, in fact, I also wanted to put the ball in the frame, but I was not very lucky today.” Leondro looked depressed and blew into his palm.

The teammate was in good shape, but he was muted at the crucial moment.

“Amare, grab the rebound well, don’t let a bunch of substitutes take the rebound from you.” D’Antoni yelled and began to point everyone in clear directions.

The players nodded earnestly after hearing this, becoming more active after the timeout in the second quarter, and Leondro’s hand also showed signs of recovery.

But the Spurs’ bench seems to be more excited, showing a defensive attitude and offensive attitude that is not weaker than the main lineup, and for a while the Suns’ firepower really can’t open the point difference.

The GDP combination allows the Spurs to form a fast scoring system inside, and after the bench comes on, everyone on the Spurs seems to be a scorer, regardless of individual operation.

“Damn, are these guys fighting chicken blood…” D’Antoni looked at the situation in the arena, his forehead constantly beating.

He is well aware that Leondro and others have played well, but they can’t open the point difference and have been subject to the opponent’s tactical attack.

Continuous high-speed passes prevented the Suns from making a good mark, making holes in the defense and allowing the opponent to score under each pass.

On the other hand, the comment area of the “Huaxia Sports” webpage is full of voices calling for Liu Chao to play.

Some anti-superists saw that Liu Chao was still pressed on the cold bench in the second quarter, and they did not skimp on their own mockery at all:

‘Look, 35.16 seconds, not under the cold bench.’ ’

This is a match with last year’s championship, but it’s not a soft-footed shrimp like Supersonic, and it’s not garbage time, Liu Chao is not eligible to play. ’

‘Wash and sleep, I still want to see Liu Chao play, and don’t see what kind of intensity of confrontation this is, that is the championship Spurs. ’

All kinds of negative words are filled in the comment area, and people who are quite supernatural also dare not speak out, and they have no good reason to refute before Liu Chao plays.

In the second quarter, as Xiaosi and others grabbed the rebound to feed Leondro, Leondro’s hand gradually recovered.

The man defending him was a rookie Derek. Bench, in terms of confrontation intensity, the opponent is obviously inferior to Leondro, but he can make effective interference every time he launches an attack.

Several times forced Leandro to pass the ball out, allowing the inside lineman Dior and others to pour the ball in.

Switching offense and defense, the Spurs once again showed amazing passing cooperation to wear down the patience of the Suns, and did not attack until there was a hole in the defense, without giving the Suns a chance to break the ball.

Defense has always been the weakness of the Suns, and tactics like the Spurs bench are undoubtedly sending the ball for the average team, but the effect on the Suns is far beyond imagination.

Bang!

At this time, Derek, who was targeted by Leondro. Benzi quickly pulled away after receiving the ball and jumped on the spot to shoot.

Leondro, who thought he would pass the ball, did not realize that the opponent would suddenly attack.

Leondro’s face changed slightly, turned his head to look at the basket, and saw the orange-red streamer sneaking into the frame, and the point difference still failed to open.

“Damn…..,” Leondro cursed angrily and quickly ran towards the opponent’s half, Marcus was also reorganizing his teammates to attack.

At this point, the difference remained at four points, and the second quarter was coming to an end, and if the gap could not be widened, the second half of the game was very dangerous.

Bang!

Receiving Marcus’s pass, Junior found an opportunity to jump and dunk the ball into the basket, and the Spurs bench player who jumped together was knocked off, and the sudden ‘violent aesthetic’ boosted the morale of the Suns.

Soon, the second quarter ended and the margin was locked at 6 points, a lead that didn’t fit the Suns’ style at all.

The players walked off the field with gloomy faces, and Leondro’s face was also full of helplessness.

Although he played well in the second half of the second quarter, he wasted a lot of offensive opportunities at the beginning, and he felt guilty.

“Don’t worry, Barbosa, you have already performed well, who has the time to feel the iron.” Nash saw what the other person was thinking and encouraged as he handed the towel

D’Antoni looked at the tactical board, looked at Laga and Leondro for a while, and then at Nash and Liu Chao, as if he was making some important decision.

“Coach, let me play with Chao.” Nash asked tentatively.

“Nope!” D’Antoni refused without hesitation, and raised his head to look at Liu Chao and said: “Chao’s physical strength is not enough to support the two matches, let Laga and Barbosa go first”

“But the third quarter…” Xiaosi and the others showed worried expressions after hearing the coach’s words.

The Suns have been cursed by the “soft-footed shrimp” in the second half of the game, and Laga took a break and recovered some strength, but the opponent will definitely let the main team play in the third quarter.

With the state of Laga and Barbosa, I am afraid that the situation will not be too good.

Xiaosi, Shaun, and Dior also played two full matches, and their form declined at this time.
