Playing the Jazz, the Spurs are still crushing in hard power, in fact, Dillon Corbyn has done the best. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

One of his adjustments almost made the Jazz a team that can compete with the Spurs, of course, the difference is a bit much, but this does not prevent Popovich from thanking Dillon Corbyn, if it weren't for Dillon Corbyn, Popovich may not have found such a problem in the current Spurs' offense.

There are only two high-caliber passers in the starting lineup, and once the opponent locks one of them, the Spurs' offense will drop significantly.

And as mentioned earlier, whether it is to replace Anxi or Kowhi Leonard, the Spurs' outside defense will definitely decline, and it will be even more of a disaster against the Thunder and the Heat.

The game was quickly decided, with the Spurs leading by 17 points at halftime, and after three quarters, a 24-point lead directly declared the end of the game, and in the end, the Spurs defeated the Jazz 112-91, winning by 21 points and winning the first game of the series.

After Popovich went back, he began to think, and after thinking for a long time, Popovich thought of a solution to the current problem, but only temporarily.

"We can only increase rotation. ”

"How do you increase rotation?" Mike Budenholzer was a little puzzled.

'It's very simple, the starting line-up is the same, if there's a setback, we go to Manu or Thiago and rotate more, and we have to make some small tactical changes. ”

"How do you adjust tactically?"

"Speed up, change to Manu and they will inevitably go down defensively, and at this time, we will speed up and minimize the impact of the defence. ”

Speeding up is the last thing Greg Popovich thought of, increasing rotation and speeding, the combination of the two, can be regarded as minimizing the impact.

In the first game of the first round of the playoffs, the Spurs won easily, and the gap between them and the Jazz was too big.

In his playoff debut, Anxi played 27 minutes, shooting 5-of-9, including 4-of-7 from three-point range, scoring 16 points, three rebounds, two assists and one block.

For Anxi, in his playoff debut, his performance was perfect, with an acceptable score in not much playing time, and his performance on the defensive end was good enough.

Soon, the second game also began in San Antonio, and the big win in the previous game gave the Spurs a lot of confidence, while for the Jazz, they have reached the point where they die if they don't change.

Dillon Corbyn really couldn't think of any better way to do it, so he could only continue to sacrifice the strategy of the previous game, so this game was used as a test by Popovich.

Popovich increased the rotation, and at the same time asked the Spurs to speed up, and also added a requirement - to increase the wide range of the ball, a large area of the ball can help the Spurs more and better to open up space.

These adjustments are very effective, this game, the Spurs won more, they finally won the second game of the series with a gap of 114:83, 31 points! In this game, Anxi got 11 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, and the performance was still excellent, as a rookie, Anxi did not show discomfort in the playoffs.

Winning both games, for the Spurs, they have completed the task that Popovich set before the game.

With a 2-0 lead over the Jazz, the Spurs have almost reached the Western Conference semifinals.

As for the other playoff matchups in the East and West, a group of matchups against the Spurs' Western Conference semifinals opponents, the Clippers vs. the Grizzlies, the first two games have also been played, the Clippers narrowly won the first game, and the Grizzlies grabbed a victory in the second game, and the two sides tied 1:1.

In the other two sets of games in the West, the Thunder first beat the Mavericks by one point, and then beat the Mavericks by 19 points, leading 2:0, while the Lakers won two consecutive small games, 2:0 Nuggets.

In the East, the Bulls won a small victory in the first game, but Derrick Rose was suddenly injured and failed to play in the second game, so the Bulls lost the second game, they tied 1:1 with the 76ers, the Heat won two big wins, 2:0 Knicks, the Pacers and the Magic won one win and one loss, tied 1:1, and the Celtics lost one game and then won one game, and the Celtics tied 1:1.

After two games, the championship favorites have changed again, the Spurs and the Heat have two big wins, the Thunder are also two wins, and they are in good shape, while the Bulls, who were also the championship favorites before, have a bleak future because of Derrick Rose's injury.

According to news from within the Bulls, Derrick Rose's injury is likely to take him to say goodbye to this season......

After the two home games, the Spurs also flew to Utah, where the Spurs set up a hotel with a gym as a base for their two away games.

Unlike other teams, the Spurs didn't rent a stadium for their daily practice, and Popovich felt that training would outweigh the losses after only two or three days.

After arriving in the Utah Plateau, the Spurs were led by coaches to do some adaptation training in the hotel gym.

On the morning of the game, Popovich contacted the Jazz and prepared to go to the Energy Solutions arena for on-court training.

On the way to the stadium, Popovich kept answering the phone, his old man machine didn't stop for a moment, and Anxi listened to it, as if he was arguing with someone.

An Xi stabbed Manu who was listening to the song with headphones next to him with his arm: "Manu, who is this arguing with, old man?"

Manu took off his headphones, listened for a while, and then said in surprise: "With the league staff, it is estimated that the pre-game media interview was canceled by Greg." ”

Anxi understood, nodded, the pre-game media interview Anxi knows, this is one of the regulations of the playoff league, in the two games in San Antonio, Anxi participated in the media interview before the game.

This link gives Anxi the feeling that it is a waste of time, reporters will pester you to ask a lot of questions, and then even if you ask questions, they may not necessarily let you go, so in order not to affect the preparation for the playoffs, many teams use the rest time for media interviews, and when it comes to Popovich, it seems that the rest time is not willing to take it out.

But think about it, when it comes to the playoffs, every second counts, every game is very important, so before every game, the time to rest is also very important, if the rest time before every game is taken up by media interviews, then the game will not be played.

In the evening, before the start of the game, the league officially announced that the Spurs would be fined $50,000 for failing to participate in media interviews as required......
