Antetokounmpo's pass was met by Rudy. Guy truncated, and this was already the second mistake of the day by the Greeks.

The Spurs' strategy is very correct, as long as they limit the 2.11-meter-tall point guard, the Pacers' offense is no longer unstoppable.

It's just a pity that the Spurs didn't play well on their own offense today. Or rather, the Pacers' defense is too strong for the Spurs.

Their resolute 1-on-1 defense prevented the Spurs from playing the team basketball they loved, while DeRozan and Aldridge's individual offense was mediocre.

So, despite completing the steal, the Spurs didn't take advantage of the opportunity to score. In the end, DeRozan still lost in a heads-up with George. The seven-point margin remained the same, and after Lopez grabbed the rebound, Henson called a halt to the game.

"Paul. George has forced DeRozan to shoot 0 of 3 today, to be honest, just rushing to this defense, George is also worth 137 million. "Reggie. Miller applauded George and it was clear that he was very good on the defensive end today. Although DeRozan is not a top superstar in the league, he was once the top scorer for the Raptors.

However, in front of George, DeRozan was at a loss.

"I'm sorry, Chief, they defended well today." Antetokounmpo walked off the pitch out of breath, the Greek feeling sorry for his two mistakes in five minutes.

"It doesn't matter, you've been targeted by others, which means they're afraid of you. That's a good thing, Janis. Next, I'm going to change my strategy. Rajan. Rondo, you go on the field and organize the attack. Victor, take a break. Rotate time, I'll replace you on the field. ”

When Henson decided to bring on Oladipo, everyone knew what he was going to do. Yesterday, he had already explained this strategy to everyone.

"Then, Janis, you go back to the number four. Siakam, I need you to play like a number three. Rondo controls the pace of the game, and then George, you take the lead! The Spurs like to shrink up their defense today, so you just punish them from mid-range and beyond the three-point line, you know!? ”

"Yes!" George nodded his head vigorously, the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time had finally arrived!

Coach Henson, as the lead side, actually took the initiative to call a timeout, and it is not surprising that he should be trying to solve the problem of Antetokounmpo's consecutive errors. Huh? Coach Henson was replaced by Rajan. Rondo! He did make a change, he changed to a pure point guard, and Antetokounmpo will no longer work as a point guard! ”

On the commentary stage, Reggie. Miller looked at the lineup with great anticipation, not knowing what Henson was going to change.

But on the sidelines, Popovich was in deep distress. Because Henson had never fielded such a line-up before, he didn't know what Henson was going to do. Not knowing what Henson was going to do, Popovich couldn't effectively prevent it in advance.

"Continue to block the exclusion zone!" Popovich yelled before the players came on the court, and Henson's replacement of Oladipo with Rondo undoubtedly made the Pacers' space worse.

So, whatever Henson wants to do, Popovich thinks it's safest to continue to shrink the defense.

You see, even Popovich began to be deceived by Henson again and again.

The game restarted with Henson standing on the sidelines with his hands on his chest. George knew that the manager was watching him from the sidelines. At this time, the most important thing he can't live up to is the manager's trust in him!

Rondo was steady on the ball, and he and Antetokounmpo stopped the attack in a completely different way.

He waved his hand and motioned for Antetokounmpo to step forward and cover. Covering between the Pacers' two worst three-point shooters, the Spurs players are trying to figure out what to do with their butts.

After Rondo borrowed cover to get into the box, the Spurs' defense shrank overall. After all, whether Rondo strikes the rim himself or Antetokounmpo cuts in to the rim, their only option is under the basket!

But in the corner where no one was looking, Siakam made an off-ball cover for George! That's why, Henson needs Siakam to be there. As a small forward who stepped down from the No. 4 position, his coverage is of higher quality!

Rondo caught a glimpse of George running out of the empty seat, and then he stared at Antetokounmpo, in fact, with a flick of his wrist!

"Coach Ryu's" eye feint fooled the defenders, and when the basketball finally flew into George's hands without warning, the Spurs' defense was confused.

DeRozan was delayed by Siakam and had no time to block. And in the face of a near-open shot, George didn't relent.

He picked up a knife in his hand and scored 3 points lightly. Popovich feels that something is wrong, and the Pacers' offensive focus doesn't seem to be on Antetokounmpo anymore!

"Good ball, that's what Henson needs to Rajan. Rondo's causes. When Antetokounmpo was restricted, Rondo was undoubtedly able to change the tempo of the game. I have to say that the depth of the Pacers' roster is as terrible as ever. ”

Most people interpret this goal as the result of Henson's change of control. But actually, it's Paul. The beginning of George's solo performance.

With a nine-point margin on top of Popovich's head, Henson really won't be soft on his friends.

While Popovich doesn't care about the boring record that prevents the Pacers from winning five in a row, he does need a win.

This year, the Spurs lost Leonard and will have to play very hard to survive in the West, so Popovich will need to fight for every victory.

He made a few gestures to signal the players to continue passing the ball more. The more Henson forced him to single, the more he couldn't be fooled.

So, while the Spurs almost ran out of 24 seconds on the Spurs' next attack, Aldridge eventually found an open spot.

Aldridge hit a solid shot to help the Spurs narrow the margin slightly. Despite the goal, Popovich was not happy. The Spurs' offense was too tough, and the Pacers' offense was ...... It's easy every time.

Rondo, or Rondo. When this guy was in possession of the ball on the court, the Spurs couldn't imagine who the basketball would be in the next second.

Rondo can't score, but he can become one of the most recognizable point guards in the league. In addition to defense, it depends on basketball IQ and passing ability.

This time, though, the Spurs players are thinking too much about the Pacers' offense. Because Rondo had just passed half and handed the ball to George. Antetokounmpo then consciously set up cover for George. All this, Henson has already arranged.

The dunk and catch-and-shoot just now have made George completely find his offensive feeling. So now, let the Spurs' defense taste the power of the league's top three scorers!

Just now, the Spurs barely managed to score with almost 24 seconds of complex transmission. And this time, George just took a step to the side under the cover of Antetokounmpo, and he shot directly!

DeRozan didn't expect George's shot to be so decisive, so he immediately blocked it. But because he was half a beat slower, George still found a bit of space.

This space may not be enough for other players, but it is more than enough for a top-three player in the league.

"Shoot directly after borrowing cover! George's offense was very simple, but ...... It's in, and the basketball is hollow into the net! Haha, Paul. George's offense is such an understatement! 7 points, George only made 3 shots, but he has already scored 7 points. It can be seen that Coach Henson replaced Rondo not to free Antetokounmpo, but to free Paul. George! ”

Popovich fell into a deep despair, if Leonard was still around, then George naturally couldn't score so easily.

But in the world of professional basketball, there are no ifs.

George was completely open, and his abilities were more than enough to support his desires. And when he wants to score, the Spurs' defensive system simply doesn't have enough to see.

Two minutes later, George made a comeback. This time he didn't shoot directly, but broke through after borrowing cover.

George's break-through through is very special, and he likes to get through the gap between the two defenders. This kind of breakthrough would not have been possible without skillful ball control.

But Henson said before that George's worst dribbling ability at the beginning is now also A-level!

After breaking through the double block of Guy and DeRozan, in the face of your Aldridge's supplementary defense, George threw a shot.

Shooting, breaking through the basket, throwing ...... George's versatility allows him to score with a variety of means.

Aldridge watched in despair as the basketball crossed his between-fall into the net. George is unstoppable!

So far, George has scored 9 points just over halfway through the first quarter. Moreover, his momentum has not yet stopped at all.

"Before the game, George was questioned by many media outlets. Because in the first four games, George's highest score was only 20 points! ”

"yes, but today, I don't think George should have any problem if he wants to score 30 points."

If Henson could listen to the speaker, he wouldn't agree.

Because in Henson's opinion, George may be able to score more than 40 ...... today
