"Oh, Charles, I'm not mistaken, this rookie hit 2 3-pointers in a row?" Kenny Smith clapped and laughed.

"It's incredible, this rookie has changed his shooting posture, and it still looks very effective, let's see if Popovich will make targeted adjustments next." Barkley also opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Xue Ding was too hesitant from outside the three-point line in previous games, and his shooting percentage also proved that he really didn't have much three-point range.

Today's adjustment of Xue Ding really surprised the fans and commentators.

However, somewhat unexpectedly, Xue Ding was replaced after this timeout.

Replacing Xue Ding is Steve Blake!

Xue Ding was not dissatisfied when he was replaced, he is still a rookie, and everything has to be arranged by the head coach.

The head coach was worried that Xue Ding would be dissatisfied, so he deliberately explained: "Xue, your performance is very good, but Popovich will not give you three points so easily, we have to change their deployment, and the next rotation time will give you control." ”

“OK。” Xue Ding said very calmly.

He walked back to the bench with Oden, talking and laughing.

McMillan looked at Xue Ding's attitude and nodded.

This rookie was different from the rookies he had been in contact with before, and he had always been very surprised by Xue Ding's maturity.

Especially the mentality, the attitude of not fighting or grabbing, has a clear understanding of his own strength, and his locker room can also deal with teammates.

Xue Ding's performance is different from other newcomers, not quite like a freshman who has just come out of school, but McMillan sometimes feels like he is communicating with his peers.

McMillan sometimes thinks that Xue Ding is very similar to James.

It's a personality that is born to be a superstar!

After the timeout, with Ginobili on the court, the Spurs began to recover the score, and Popovich's tactical adjustments were very targeted to strengthen the perimeter defense.

Xue Ding off the field also saw the classic tactical routines of the Spurs.

When the Spurs play a three-man tactical combination on the strong side of the side with the ball, two people on the off-ball side cover off the ball, and the strong side breaks through and passes along the baseline to the pitcher who is covered in the bottom corner of the weak side.

Ginobili made two 3-pointers with the famous "Hammer Series" tactic.

In this era when three-point shooting is not the mainstream, 3-point shooting is indeed not the first choice for chasing points, but in fact, if accurate, it is indeed the fastest way to chase the score.

After the Spurs tied the score, the two sides began a new round of tug-of-war.

A tug-of-war is a fight against each other.

After playing each other's irons, the head coaches of both teams decided to play inside.

The Trail Blazers' interior main offense is Aldridge.

Aldridge was a bit out of touch against Duncan's defense.

Ade frequently makes jumpers from the outside.

Aldridge's mid-range shooting rate is as high as 46%, which seems to be accurate, but it can't stand the way Duncan and Bonner choose to attack closer to the basket

Duncan and Bonner shot a whopping 76 percent from the field through inside passes.

The Trailblazers started at a disadvantage.

Xue Ding also saw the tactics of the Spurs in this game.

The core idea of the Spurs' offense is to create and exploit the opposing advantage.

Xue Ding also remembered that the Spurs relied on interior and killing in the era of giants, that is, they could dominate the game by using the advantage of the opposition advantage with the ability of the star.

In fact, they used to be similar to the future Heat, Thunder, and Warriors, but the way and rhythm were different, and the game at that time was dull.

The Spurs have an inside line and are in a transition period, and in order to maximize the advantage of positional battles, the Spurs are also reluctant to speed up.

Although some of the overall leagues have some signs of speed, the efficiency of the interior line also makes Bobo unwilling to blindly follow the mainstream of the league.

As Duncan aged, the Spurs slowly lost their original strengths.

A few years ago, after the attempt to dominate the outside line dominated by Parker and Manu, Bobo began to realize that although Parker and Manu are more than destructive, they are also very limited, Parker's range determines that he can't open space, and Manu's stability is also a headache.

This year's Spurs have been a little different.

Regular mode: The ball carrier tries to create a dislocation by blocking and dislodging, while the off-ball man creates a defensive disposition by moving around the pile, and the person does not stick to the ball and keeps going, and so on until there is a counterpoint advantage (misalignment) or a defensive disposition (vacancy).

Single-core attack mode: The main point of attack (usually Parker/Manu, and now there are occasional Dior scenes) holds the ball to attack and tear up the defensive formation, and cooperates with the off-ball running position in the regular mode to divide the ball according to the situation.

Dual-core mode: It is common to see Manu and Parker on the field at the same time, with the intention of compressing the opponent's formation.

In short, the core of Spurs' tactics is to rely on tactics, using human movement to create a counterpoint advantage, and using the movement of the ball to take advantage of that advantage.

Spurs' style of play is not complicated.

But the reason why it is powerful is mainly in line with the actual situation of Spurs - soft power is greater than hard power.

There are many international players who are very enthusiastic about dedication and have strict military discipline and strong execution.

Popovich's team has a strong ability to develop the characteristics of the players, and the players who are not well-known under him all play with distinctive characteristics and make the best use of things.

The Trailblazer obviously still looks too tender.

28 to 22.

The Trail Blazers trailed by six points in the first quarter.

The game between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs did not see too strong offensive frenzy or individual ability show, and such a focus battle made fans a little drowsy to watch.

And it seems that Popovich and McMillan are also willing to see such a scene.

In the first quarter of the game, if it weren't for the efficiency of the two teams, the score would never have been so high.

Everyone lowered the tempo very slowly, everyone dragged the rhythm to play, the game seemed very slow, and the scene was quite dull.

The pace is too slow, the score can't catch up, and the fans of Rose Garden are very boring!

Almost more and more people are looking forward to Xue Ding's debut, looking forward to this unique rookie coming up to bring a wave of rhythm, at least let himself shout a few words.

After a while, many fans looked at Xue Ding.

But then the fans found something very interesting.

Xue Ding on the bench was secretly looking at the cheerleading beauty.

The little eyes, the sneaky movements, for fear that others will catch it, it will be too funny.

Rose Garden fans feel that their rookies are really enough.

The scene rang out with laughter.

Auden next to him saw that Xue Ding's attention was obviously staring at somewhere, and asked strangely, "Xue, what are you looking at?" ”

Xue Ding didn't look back, poked Oden's arm with his elbow, and then Nunu muttered, "Greg, look, that peach." ”

Auden followed Xue Ding's gaze, swallowed a mouthful of water, and said, "That's your peach, I like the pumpkin next to it." ”

The two have already had a tacit understanding of using fruits to describe some beautiful parts that can arouse their interest.
