At the beginning of this game, Dillon Corbyn made a strange move, he put Josh Howard in the starting line-up and used a sticky defense to entangle Boris Dior, because Dillon Corbyn knew that the current Spurs' offense is mainly a small cooperation between the two Frenchmen.

Tony Parker and Boris Dior's various tactics, covers, and small combinations in the high post always help the Spurs open up the game.

But for this game, Dillon Corbyn sent Josh Howard.

As early as the Mavericks, Josh Howard was the Mavericks' outside defensive gate, and one person took on the Mavericks' outside defense.

Dillon Corbyn just had Josh Howard lock in Boris Dio, who was also declining due to injury and age, and it was relatively easy.

Thus, in the first attack after the start of the game, the connection between Tony Parker and Boris Dio was locked.

The first attack of the Spurs, the offensive routine is still very old-fashioned, Tony Parker passed the ball to Boris Dio, who was pulled to the high position, and then cut in, but Boris Dio's anti-hanging failed, Josh Howard's interference made Boris Dio very uncomfortable, he could only pass the ball to Kowhi Leonard, who went around from a 45-degree angle to the top of the arc, to reorganize the attack......

Popovich propped up his right hand and touched his chin, this change of Jazz made him interested, Popovich actually knew that as long as a small adjustment, the current problems on the court could be solved, but Popovich was still ready to take another look, sometimes, after encountering a problem, he was not in a hurry to solve it, maybe he could find a better solution, and it was easy to find other problems.

On the field, after reorganizing the attack, Tony Parker came around the box again, made a cross screen with Kowhi Leonard, and after hand-to-hand cooperation, Tony Parker got the ball again.

24 seconds of offensive time was running out, Tony Parker rushed to the free throw line with the help of An Xi's block, stepped on the free throw line and threw a shot, but did not score.

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, who were commentating on the game on the sidelines, didn't notice the changes brought about by the Jazz's change of lineup, they just felt that Josh Howard defended well in the first wave of offense.

"Josh Howard did a great job defending against Boris Dior, and although Tony Parker's lack of shooting had nothing to do with him, the Spurs' small cooperation failed to play because of Josh Howard."

Then, the Jazz's offense, Devin Harris controlled the ball steadily, the Jazz's offense was dominated by the inside, Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap were both star-level interior lines who could score 20 points per game, Devin Harris controlled the ball, just waiting for the interior duo to be in a good position, a hanging ball, and passed over.

In the first wave of the Jazz's offense, Al Jefferson received a pass from Devin Harris after taking a good position on the inside, turned his back to Tim Duncan, turned a deft turn, stepped back to shoot, and successfully hit!

At the beginning of the game, the Jazz scored 2 points first.

The game continued, Dillon Corbyn's adjustments, it had a good effect, Boris Dio was locked by Josh Howard, and the Spurs' offense did not go well. Of course, the Jazz's situation is not much better, because of the presence of Anxi and Kawhi Leonard, the Jazz almost lost all their outside offense, so at the beginning of the game, the Spurs and Jazz actually played five or five!

On the court, the Spurs organized another wave of offense, and after Tony Parker knew that Boris Dior was locked, he gave up the idea of playing small with Boris Dior, and switched to the tactics that the Spurs used before.

Tony Parker cut in, Boris Dior gave him a cover, and then the Spurs started with all the players, and finally, Kawhi Leonard ran out of an open space, caught the ball and threw his hand, and the ball went in!

"Greg, how's it going? Haven't you adjusted yet? Although the Spurs' usual blocking tactics were just as effective, without Boris Dio, the Spurs' offense was always much more difficult, and Mike Budenholzer felt that Popovich should adjust as soon as possible to expand his advantage and win the game as soon as possible.

Popovich glanced at Mike Budenholzer: "Mike, from Dillon Corbyn's adjustment, what do you think is still a problem with our offense?" ”

"It's very simple, we still lack a third fulcrum to move the ball, and now, in the starters, whether it's Kawhi or Ann or Thiem, it's hard to be that fulcrum, and their passing is not up to the mark."

Popovich nodded: "Yes, so, once this happens, we can only remove one of Kawai and An, replace it with Manu, and then let Manu and Tony play together." ”

"But in this way, it sacrifices the quality of the outside defense, doesn't it?"

Mike Budenholzer immediately asked rhetorically, Greg Popovich smiled, and then sighed: "Yes, once Ann or Kawhey is replaced, the defensive quality on the outside will decline, it's okay to play a team like the Jazz, once you meet the Thunder or the Heat, then the situation will be bad." ”

The Jazz's hand allowed Popovich to discover a potential problem with the Spurs, and with the current personnel structure of the Spurs, it is too difficult to solve this problem.

Spurs defend Jazz offense, grab rebounds, timeout!

Greg Popovich found the problem, but he didn't know how to solve it yet, so he had to use a backup plan, replace Manuginobili, and remove Anxi.

The reason why Anxi was withdrawn was because of playing Jazz, the role of Kawhi Leonard was greater, Kowhi Leonard's presence could ensure the Spurs' rebounds, and Leonard's mid-range shooting was also incomparable to Anxi.

An Xi was replaced, played for 5 minutes, performed well, was in good shape, and the tension was completely gone.

In these 5 minutes, Anxi let Gordon Hayward not score a point, he shot a three-pointer and missed a shot, shooting 50%.

An Xi didn't have any thoughts about being replaced, anyway, this game was still long, and he would always let himself play again later.

As soon as Manu came on the court, he formed an offensive trio with Tony Parker and Boris Dio, a Josh Howard, no matter how good the defense is, it can't limit three people, either the cooperation of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili, or the cooperation of Boris Dio and Tony Parker, in short, as soon as Manu came on the court, the Spurs' small cooperation was played, and the ability to find opportunities on the offensive end was strengthened a lot.

The Spurs' offense opened up the situation all of a sudden, and the Jazz could hardly resist the Spurs' all-out attack, the point difference quickly widened, and the game quickly lost suspense.
