I Am in the Same Year as Duncan Show

　　 Chapter 30 Xu Liang plays again

　　 After the timeout, the Jazz players saw the Spurs replace Xu Liang, and they all looked back at Sloan involuntarily.

　　 And Sloan's expression stiffened a bit.

　　 After all, the defensive arrangement just now was mainly for Xu Liang's long-range shooting ability.

　　 And Popovich’s substitution operation shows that all of Sloan’s tactical arrangements have been calculated by Popovich.

　　 Of course, Sloan couldn’t imagine that Popovich would replace Xu Liang, a hot player, just because Xu Liang slightly violated his tactical requirements.

　　 Fortunately, Sloan adjusted quickly and directly gestured to the Jazz players on the court to return to the previous defensive position.

　　 Of course the timeout came back, the Jazz must start offensive first.

　　 And because Xu Liang has already left the field, the Spurs' defense has returned to the previous way.

　　 During the next quarter and a half, Popovich didn't let Xu Liang play again.

　　 The Spurs relied on Xu Liang's four-point advantage before, and they were gradually overtaken by the Jazz in this quarter and a half.

　　 Even halfway through the third quarter, the Jazz regained the lead.

　　 This time came the official timeout again.

　　 The score of the first two teams was suspended 65 to 68. The home team is in front, the visiting team is behind, and the Spurs are behind by three points.

　　 Because there were more than one and a half quarters, Xu Liang was not allowed to play for nearly two quarters.

　　 allowed David Robinson and Duncan to play longer than planned before the game.

　　 For Duncan, the impact can still be controlled. After all, Duncan is younger and more physically strong.

　　 But David Robinson is different. After all, he is getting older and his physical fitness drops very seriously.

　　 Continuous high-intensity competition makes David Robinson’s physical consumption even greater.

　　 This is also one of the reasons why the Jazz can complete the lead in the third quarter.

　　 According to the Spurs' pre-match plan, when the game progressed to the half of the third quarter.

　　 Xu Liang should be able to get at least eight to ten minutes of playing time.

　　 This can also buy more rest time for David Robinson and Duncan.

　　 Because of Xu Liang's self-assertion, Popovich controlled his playing time.

　　 At this time, the changing situation on the court made Popovich a little difficult to get off the ground.

　　 Fortunately at this time, Xu Liang was also a little anxious because of the team's lagging behind on the field.

　　 directly during the timeout, like Popovich, confessed his mistake again and ensured that the next game will be conducted in accordance with the coach's tactical requirements.

　　 And Popovich is also going down the donkey at this time.

　　 first grinned and taught Xu Liang a lesson.

　　 then agreed to put Xu Liang back on the court to partner Duncan.

　　 After the timeout, the Jazz players saw Xu Liang on the court, and their hearts were tight again.

　　 then collectively looked at Sloan who was standing on the sidelines.

　　 And this time Sloan had the last experience.

　　 controlled the expression on his face, and said very calmly that it was all within my expectations.

　　 It's just that at this time, Sloan's heart is not as calm as it seems.

　　 "Damn, Popovich is not a good guy, and he doesn't know what he has learned from Larry Brown, so he thinks of some messy substitutions.

　　 Fortunately, Lao Tzu reacted fast enough this time and didn't let the players see his embarrassment. "

　　 Sloan calmly gestured to the Jazz players to defend Xu Liang according to the previously determined defensive position.

　　 After returning from a timeout, the Spurs attacked first.

　　 At the same position, Xu Liang stood at the top of the arc, Duncan dropped to a low position, and other players opened up the space.

　　 Karl Malone's defense this time is also closer to Xu Liang.

　　 Xu Liang did not be a demon again this time, and passed the ball directly to Duncan who was in the low post.

　　 After receiving the ball, Duncan quickly launched an attack, first hitting Greg behind him with strength.

　　 Then, taking advantage of the time when Greg's power center was too late to change, he turned around and wiped Greg's defense and came to the three-second zone.

　　 Just when Duncan was about to complete this offense.

　　 Stockton, who originally defended from the perimeter, appeared strangely in the three-second zone.

　　 and quickly cut off the basketball that Duncan hadn't had time to lift.

　　 Then Stockton directly took advantage of the trend and accelerated forward and launched a counterattack.

　　 Xu Liang at this time is very clear that with his own speed of defense, it is difficult to complete this defense.

　　 So decisively chose a tactical foul, preventing the Jazz from this counterattack.

　　 In the offense just now, Duncan has always focused his attention on the possible defense that Karl Malone might make, while ignoring Stockton.

　　 This resulted in Duncan not paying attention to the protection of the opponent's basketball when he was about to complete the offense.

　　 made Stockton very easy to catch the steal opportunity and complete the steal.

　　 And this time the steal was very sudden.

　　 The other members of the Spurs did not have time to react.

　　 Fortunately, Xu Liang quickly made a defensive judgment and prevented this quick counterattack in time.

Fortunately, it was Xu Liang’s quick response. If Xu Liang’s reaction is a little slower for a second, his tactical foul this time is likely to become a violation~www.readwn.com~ and the penalty for violation is one. A penalty throw, then Xu Liang's foul this time would not make much sense.

　　 The Jazz re-serves.

　　 After coming to the Spurs this half, he still started the pick and roll offense.

　　 still ended with Stockton's mid-range jumper.

　　 Xu Liang still did not have time to make up the defense.

　　 Fortunately, Stockton's shot missed this time.

　　 And Xu Liang got his first rebound in the entire game after getting into position.

　　 Xu Liang, who grabbed the rebound, didn't give the ball to Johnson the first time.

　　 Instead, it passed directly to the front field.

　　 It turned out that Duncan, after seeing Stockton's mid-range jumper, began to accelerate towards the Jazz halftime.

　　 On the one hand, Duncan knew he had no time to have any impact on Stockton's offense.

　　 On the other hand, Duncan believes in Xu Liang's rebounding ability and long pass ability.

　　 And this time there is mutual trust and understanding between Xu Liang and Duncan.

　　 allowed the Spurs to complete a very fast counterattack just after losing a goal.

　　 The entire counterattack process, from Xu Liang's rebound to Duncan's dunk, took no more than three seconds.

　　 Carl Malone who was supposed to defend Duncan.

　　 When his Stockton shot, he chose to move inside, ready to scramble for rebounds.

　　 It's just that when Malone was moving inside, he was blocked by Duncan for a short time.

　　 made Xu Liang grab the final rebound.

　　 The consequence of not grabbing the rebound is that Malone has no time to turn back and chase Duncan, who has run to his side in the half.
