Old Horry, who was too deep, couldn't find a chance to shoot and poured the ball to Shi Lei, who stepped forward to answer. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Inside the free throw line, this is already Shi Lei's range. Nearly a year of uninterrupted shooting training has given Shi Lei a certain amount of fire in his shooting level in this range, but it is not very trustworthy and needs a certain amount of time to adjust.

Shi Lei was about to make a shot when he received the ball, and Duncan made up for it in time, and rushed to Shi Lei's front almost instantly.

Subconsciously, Shi Lei's body leaned to the left, then quickly retreated, bent down slightly, and stepped to the left violently. Leaning on the opponent with a strong body, the moment when you feel that the center of gravity of the opponent's body is difficult to adjust, jump slightly and shoot quickly.

When the basketball got into the basket, Shi Lei realized that it was Duncan who was defending him.

"Pretty face frame ability." Popovich's eyes lit up, and then he realized that he seemed to have forgotten something.

"Oh my gosh, what a bad sense of location."

"Inexplicably, he always likes to do other people's work!"

"Oh, shoot shot, does he think he's a point guard?"

"It's a good block, but it's a pity he's too short."

Seeing the problem differently, seeing the things will be completely different, Popovich saw Shi Lei's face frame ability, while the rest of the coaching staff, saw this.

"Take a pause and rest for ten minutes."

After a dead ball, Popovich called a halt to the match. The players thought he was going to say something, such as suggestions for the next game, or personnel changes. However, no, he just picked up the tactical board, turned around and sat in the coach's chair.

"Shh As the whiteboard marker kept sliding, Popovich's eyes gradually exuded a strange light.

The loss in the first game silenced the media about the Spurs' odd-numbered championship victory, but thanks to the Spurs' strong playoff experience over the years, the fans here can maintain a strong spirit of optimism no matter what the situation is. Early, with more than an hour to go before the start of the game, the Spurs' home stadium was already packed.

Every corner of the place is filled with the confidence of the people of San Antonio in victory. The confident slogans and the Q-version patterns of the main players mixed in all give people the illusion that the past defeats have disappeared.

Fans don't think that the opponent can bring them much of an obstacle, and even the Spurs players seem to think so, and the smooth sailing of these years has more or less bred a little complacency.

The Holy City people were too careless, and as soon as the game began, they allowed their opponent to score seven points in a row, and everyone didn't expect that the Denver people would come up with full firepower.

Popovich roared for a timeout. But the effect is not obvious, the change of mentality requires a process, and before the Spurs can calm down, Anthony suddenly exerted his power and beat Bowen again and again.

Bowen is better suited to the more skillful ones than the power players, even if they are as strong as Kobe Bryant. As strong as Carter, Bowen can also limit opponents very well. But once he encounters James and his ilk, Bowen's threat will be greatly discounted.

Cameron. Anthony, the current player in the NBA, is perhaps the most versatile offensive player in history, and perhaps the most successful player in combining strength and skill, at least one of them. He has the ability to play under the basket as an All-Star inside, as well as the ability to break through at the top outside, his passing is above average, and his three-point shooting percentage is over 30%. Well, people who don't like him can criticize his defensive attitude and ability to lead the team, but at the same time, you have to admit that his offense is better than Kobe, LeBron, Wade and others most of the time, because he is more difficult to defend.

Instead of showing off his skills, he used his power to force the shots, and it was clear that Anthony succeeded, and with three minutes left in the first quarter, Bowen was struggling to deal with two fouls.

Popovich unexpectedly replaced Shi Lei.

"Defend, defend!"

Popovich only told this one word, and threw Shi Lei onto the field.

Shi Lei was ready, and after the switch between attack and defense, he followed Anthony closely. But Iverson used only one acceleration to make all of the Spurs' defensive strategies fail. The little man, like a fairy flying in the sky, rushed into the inside of the spurs at once. Duncan didn't have time to make up for it, so he could only watch him make a layup.

Then came Iverson's time, and the loss of Bowen made the Spurs' perimeter defense less tight. At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs trailed by 13 points.

Sometimes things change unexpectedly. Popovich had made all sorts of arrangements for this match, almost all of the main points of defeat in the last game, but he did not expect the match to start in this format. This disrupted all his arrangements and made the Spurs' pre-game efforts go to waste.

From the beginning of Shi Lei's debut, he stared at the events on the field while thinking about the next countermeasures.

The lineup must change, and it is completely impossible to stay the same, but how?

The Spurs are a team that is too good at scoring, and they are not very afraid that their offense will suddenly have some problems, because they always have a way to make up for it.

Defense is the Spurs' winning weapon in most situations, but now that they can stand at the top of the league, the biggest reliance is not working, which is what Popovich worries the most.

As a legendary coach who has seen many big scenes, Popovich is a little undecided right now. It's not okay to sit back and watch the opponent's attack get on the ground and wait for the players to adjust themselves, or to expect the opponent to make a mistake and thus change the game.

He believed in God, but he would never pin his victory on the favor of his old man.

However, in order to completely strangle the opponent's offense and extinguish their strong offensive desire, it is necessary to take too much risk in the adjustment of the lineup.

Adjust? Or will it remain the same?

Adjustments, if the substitute player is not performing well under the pressure, it will have disastrous consequences for the Spurs, who are already in a bad situation.

However, if you do not adjust, it is difficult to ensure that the opponent will not cut high scores, and once the score difference is too large, this will undoubtedly be fatal to the Spurs, who are unable to chase points.

And the third and fourth games will be played on the opponent's home court, as long as the Nuggets win one of them, the fate of the Spurs' series will almost be sealed.

'We had big problems defensively and I hope we can make up for those mistakes in the next games.'

"Shi, in the second quarter of the game, you stay on the court, remember your mission, maintain your defensive intensity, you did a good job just now."
