Chapter 277: One Man Moves, and the Whole Team Moves
"Watch the wings, watch the wings!"
"The bottom line has slipped through, watch the basket!"
The Spurs monitored each other's movements at various points of the Thunder, chanting and reminding each other with words.
It can be said that the three-point line has been looked at at the water.
Everyone is keeping a distance from the Thunder's outside offensive players.
What prevents them from breaking through.
No one has Durant's accurate shooting, not even Westbrook.
"Anyway, the score is still flat now, and it doesn't necessarily have to be a three-point shot!"
Westbrook looked around the audience with grim eyes, made a quick decision, and beckoned to Adams.
The latter immediately stepped forward to cover him.
Take advantage of the cover.
Wei Shao started quickly, swept past Mills at full power, and hit directly to the three-point line at the top of the arc, looking deeper into the distance, and could not see any gaps and opportunities that could be penetrated.
At this moment, two choices appeared in his mind.
Stop-and-go jump shots, or force a punch to make a kill.
I made a quick trade-off in my mind and chose the former!
The positioning of the Spurs interior player is quite good, and he will not have any chance to get off the ball when he breaks in, let alone make fouls.
Wei Shao made a quick stop and hit a shot, and scored 2 points.
At 83:81, the Thunder continued to hold the lead.
The pressure has eased slightly, but the mood is still tense.
Two points is too little, and the slightest mistake could be reversed by the opponent.
Westbrook felt his breathing become shorter unconsciously.
Mills gestured tactically.
The same is Popovich's arrangement on the bench.
Crossing tactics!
Not only the Spurs players, but also the Thunder players understand.
It's just that Mills didn't play very clearly, so they didn't know which of the crossing tactics it was.
However, with the Spurs' teamwork ability, as long as one point moves first, the other points can follow and react accordingly.
And the choice of the point of this first action is crucial.
It is equivalent to the initiation signal of the whole set of tactics.
As the core of the crossing tactics, the initiator is naturally Dior.
The moment the latter comprehended the tactical command, he directly reached the top of the arc area.
When he reached the top of the arc, Mills had already quickly handed the ball to Deng Hongfei, went around in a circle, crossed in a large arc, and ran from a 45-degree three-point point on the left side of the basket to a 45-degree three-point point on the other side.
Meanwhile.
Danny Green, who was in that spot, took the inside in big strides, ruffling up the line and making room for Mills.
Deng Hongfei caught the ball and poured it directly to Dior in an instant.
Dior took advantage of the situation and transferred to Mills, who was transferred to the position.
The latter regained possession of the ball.
And the inner line has long been stormy.
Danny Green, who cut inside, ran to the edge of the paint area on the left side of the basket and made a pick-and-roll for Split at the No. 5 spot.
Split took advantage of the pick-and-roll to switch to the low post on the other side.
The Thunder's defense line had been thrown into a mess at this moment.
Dio, who finished passing the ball at the top of the arc, also did not rest.
While Split successfully switched positions through Danny Green's cover, he didn't know when, he was unexpectedly sideways by Danny Green's side.
The huge body is like a wall.
Danny Green knew what to expect, and immediately went around the wall, running briskly outside with his feet, and in the middle of the run, he reached out a hand for the ball.
Mills judged the situation and gave it at the right time.
Reggie Jackson, who was defending Green, was blocked by Dio and couldn't move.
Perry Jones was also unable to make a timely save in the chaos entanglement.
Three-point shot from the top of the arc.
Danny Green seized the opportunity this time and shot through the heart with one stone!
84:83!
Spurs are one point ahead.
On the sidelines, Brooks was at a loss, he kept shaking his head and said to the bald assistant coach Karamian next to him: "It's not okay to play like this, the Spurs' tactical execution is terrible, the success rate is too high, and we are completely led by the opponent's nose." ”
Calamian didn't know.
His expression was as solemn as Brooks', and he frowned and shook his head when he heard this, "The Spurs' teamwork ability is terrifying. ”
"I've never seen a team with such a good ability to execute spontaneously."
"It's like everybody has a mind reading technique, as long as there's one initiator."
"Others will be able to grasp the right tactical intent in an instant."
"I'm not telling you this, not for you to praise your opponent." Brooks crossed his arms over his chest and reminded solemnly, "I need your favorable advice." ”
"I don't know."
Calamian looked weak, "I really don't know what else is too good to do but get KD back on the court. ”
"Having KD and Jeremy on the court at least makes it impossible for San Antonio to shrink the defense so recklessly."
As he spoke, he kept shrugging his shoulders, "It won't do us any good if it goes on like this." ”
"Russell's strengths can't be used to the fullest, and his three-point shooting percentage is just as worrying."
"So we only have this one option."
"Hmm."
Brooks agreed with his proposal.
Looking at the time, it seems that it is almost rested.
Ben is in the playoffs, and the rest time for the main players is not as generous as in the regular season.
At a moment's notice, he beckoned and summoned Durant and Lamb.
At the same time, there was also Ibaka.
After a few brief explanations, the three of them came to the technical table at the same time to prepare for the game.
Popovich saw this scene and was silent.
His eyes were as calm as if there was no wind and rain on the water, and he was not alarmed.
But Udoka reminded a little breathlessly, "They're going to be the main force, should we?" ”
"Of course."
Popovich replied lightly, and there was no follow-up.
There is no indication of how to do it.
It was only after watching the three opposing players come on after the dead ball that Aaron Baines was arranged to replace Danny Green.
Only one person moved.
The role is very simple, or do his old job, disgusting Durant.
Throughout the series, Baynes' biggest role was to disgust Durant.
However, in Popovich's heart, Baynes has another role in this trip, which is to strengthen the ability to charge and kill the enemy's interior line.
At this time, the Thunder's two big interior lines, Adams and Ibaka.
Let's not talk about Adams.
Ibaka has already been fouled four times, and the impact on him can increase the pressure on the power forward, who plays behind closed lines and is extremely important to the Thunder.
Dio acts as a central playmaker on the offensive end, usually operating in the mid-to-high post.
The presence of Baines can just fill this gap and strengthen the killing under the basket.
As long as he can put defensive pressure on Ibaka and Durant, his goal will be achieved.
In basketball, it's a well-known fact that focusing on defense is always more physically demanding than focusing on offense.
