Chapter 268: No one can understand it
Except for the Spurs coaching staff, no one could understand what medicine was sold in Popovich's gourd.
However, this line-up was unanimously approved by the coaching staff and the players.
Marco Belinelli's marksmanship is stable and can be used as an outside fixed-point battery.
Compared with Tony Parker, Deng Hongfei is more physically energetic and has a more fiery style of play, and his impact can always double the pressure on the Thunder's defensive line.
Kawhi Leonard doesn't need to be said to be a big deal, with a solid shooting and a must-have defense.
He's the only best guy to keep an eye on Kevin Durant.
As for Aaron Baines at the No. 4 position, it is to prevent Durant from attacking the interior at any time.
Aaron Baines is the strongest coward in Popovich's hands, dominating all kinds of stars, giving them confrontation and making them uncomfortable even if they score.
A rude thing that is purely diaphragmatic to people.
The fifth position Duncan, naturally needless to say, there is no problem.
Whether it's basket protection or offense, the Stone Buddha is the cornerstone of the spurs.
Of course, Popovich's biggest idea is to use this 1.5 lineup to disgust the main force of the Thunder first, consume them as much as possible, and then use the thinking of Tian Ji to race horses on Manu, Parker and others to defeat the enemy.
The game opens.
The referee throws the ball into the air.
Ibaka jumped high and touched the surface of the basketball first, towards himself.
fell into Durant's arms, and the latter was handed over directly to Wei Shao, and the players on both sides took their respective positions.
The first attack of the Thunder was handed over to Wei Shao.
Deng Hongfei faces Westbrook.
Through the frequent encounters between the two in this playoffs, they both have an understanding of each other's characteristics.
The basketball bounced back and forth between Westbrook's hands, and Durant circled around the corner.
Aaron Baines and Leonard were two kraft candies that changed with his position, and followed the change of defense with the help defense.
I just can't run too much space.
Time passes.
Wei Shao can only choose singles!
He held the ball in his right hand and accelerated simply and rudely, and the physical fitness like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles always contained endless energy, and the sturdy body shot out!
Deng Hongfei saw the opportunity to cross the past to block.
Westbrook's fiery muscles slammed ferociously into his chest.
Deng Hongfei opened his arms and tried his best to hold his foot, but he was still blasted away by the powerful impact.
Fell to the ground solidly.
The referee didn't blow.
Wei Shao quickly went inside, and in the face of Marco Belinelli's help defense, he hit the ground to Reggie Jackson who was waiting on the side.
Although Coach Brooks has long been dissatisfied with Reggie Jackson's long-range shooting ability, looking at the entire bench, there is no more reliable scorer than him.
The Thunder need to score, they need offense, they need more powerful firepower.
Reggie Jackson took a deep breath and opened his hands to shoot a three-pointer!
The basketball streaked through a flat trajectory in the air, slammed into the edge of the basket, and bounced high.
Seeing this scene, Reggie Jackson clapped his hands in frustration and rushed inside non-stop, trying to rush to this rebound.
Luckily.
The ball bounced to the highest point and fell, and it actually went in!
The opening scoring.
Fantastic 3 points!
Reggie Jackson breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt nervous at the thought of Coach Brooks' disgruntled look every time he was off the court.
Fortunately, this opportunity was seized by mistake.
Defend yourself with a sense of relief.
Reggie Jackson didn't realize that an excessive mental load was actually not conducive to playing comfortably on the court.
Spurs on the offensive end.
Deng Hongfei controlled the ball steadily, not caring about being overturned by Westbrook just now, but using the block to thread the needle.
Aaron Baines stepped up next to Westbrook.
Seeing this, Deng Hongfei took advantage of the situation to dribble horizontally to open up the space, and at the same time accelerated to kill inward!
Resist the squeeze of Ibaka who changed the defense.
The latter's follow-up ability and athleticism are very strong, and although Deng Hongfei is fast, he does not have an advantage in strength.
So there is always no way to get a favorable position.
Fortunately, Aaron Baines went down ferociously after blocking and dismantling, carrying a brute bull step and a steel elbow.
Seeing the right time, Deng Hong suddenly rubbed out a spin with one hand to hit the earth.
Shoved into Baines's arms accurately.
The latter held the ball and stepped into the second zone and exploded, and Perkins inside couldn't jump at all.
He could only stand up and use his body width to force Baines to shoot from a relatively distant position.
The latter's floating body collided with Perkins' strong, slightly chubby body, and forced the ball out of the balance in the unbalanced conditions.
However, the movement was seriously deformed, and the core strength was insufficient, so he failed to hit.
The basket is empty, and Duncan sees this and wants to make up for it.
However, Ibaka didn't know where to fly from and rushed to protect the backcourt rebound.
At the same time as landing, it was handed over to the nearest Reggie Jackson to advance.
Reggie pushed to the front court and threw it to Durant, who immediately ran to a 45-degree angle.
The moment the latter catches the ball, he pulls the bow freely!
Arrows in the air! Hit the bull's-eye!
The shouting fans at the scene suddenly fell silent.
The opening two rounds.
The Thunder hit 3 points in a row! Took the lead 6-0.
Let them all smell something bad.
I can't get excited anymore.
Durant made a celebratory gesture with a sword to seal his throat.
He likes the silence and the reaction of the home fans.
The more depressed they were, the more excited he became.
Popovich is very calm and defeated, and the Thunder are such a team that relies heavily on the individual play of superstars.
Reggie Jackson's three-pointer had an element of luck, while Durant's three-pointer was a normal performance.
In the process, the Spurs' offensive rotation and defensive positioning have not had much of a problem.
So this is not enough to prove that it was the reason for his change of formation.
There's still a long game to go and a 6-0 start isn't a big deal.
The baseline ball is kicked out.
Deng Hongfei received the ball and continued to organize the attack.
Duncan sped up behind him, and as he passed by, he whispered, "Hit a dozen low posts." ”
"Understood."
Deng Hongfei knows that the biggest advantage of the Spurs is the inside line.
On the Thunder's side, Ibaka's return has increased their interior defensive capabilities.
However, Duncan still has an absolute advantage.
Ibaka played the closure and was certainly not in the best form.
In addition to strength, Perkins is inferior in height and reach.
Making a fuss about Duncan is indeed something that Popovich has explained before.
After crossing the midline.
Deng Hongfei landed on the left side at a 45-degree angle and slowly dribbled two steps behind the three-point line.
In the bottom corner, Kawhi Leonard ran to Willis to block the side of the line.
Deng Hongfei did not choose to break through after taking a step sideways, but dropped the ball to Duncan, who wanted to stay on the inside.
Still standing in place, Kawhi Leonard continued to run to the top of the arc after completing the fake block.
In this way, the low-to-mid zone from the 45-degree angle to the bottom angle is completely empty.
Pull up plenty of singles space for Duncan.
