Chapter 247: A Porous Defense

"What's there to panic about?"

"I ask you what you have to be anxious about?"

Popovich kept his emotions in check, and his face still looked relaxed, but as soon as the players came off the field, he threw two questions in a row.

"That's the way we defend now, you just have to be calm and do a good job, you know? Biting the score, making Durant and Westbrook uncomfortable to play, making their hands feel cold, understand? ”

"See what I mean?"

Old man Bobo couldn't hide his hatred of iron and steel, and then took out the tactical board and simply put five points on it, "It's this position, two people focus on defending Durant, two people focus on defending Westbrook, Duncan guards the basket, and they don't have excellent shooters at all, is this tactic difficult to understand?" ”

"Tell me!"

"It's not hard."

The team members were silent and reflected in their hearts.

"From the tone of your voice, I seem to hear that it's hard." Popovich was dissatisfied with the scattered and sullen answers.

I don't hear a trace of vigor and confidence.

"It's not difficult, don't worry, coach, I know."

Duncan, as the boss of the team, bore the brunt of the expression.

His attitude also gave confidence to others.

Everyone's eyes are also a little more shiny.

"Remember, don't look at the scoreboard, our current tactics, we only need to bite the score, and we don't let you overtake the score, you only need to do one thing, which is to make Dewey and the others uncomfortable."

Before going on the pitch, Popovich repeatedly reminded the players of their purpose.

This arrangement.

Finally made the Spurs remove the anxiety on their faces.

The score was 65:70, and the Spurs temporarily trailed by 5 points.

Fans don't know what's going on at this moment.

Including the commentators in the live broadcast room, they also said, "There are some problems with the Spurs' defense, and this substitution, Mr. Bobo should have made some adjustments on the defensive end." ”

The rest of the situation soon proved to be true.

They were slapped in the face.

The Spurs' defense still hasn't improved much, but instead they have played unhurriedly, focusing on limiting Dewey and ignoring the others.

Always follow a steady rhythm and keep the score within 10 points.

Such a scene is suspicious.

But Dewey was very uncomfortable.

Durant's movements and Wei Shao's movements are starting to get bigger.

The two of them are the leaders of the team, especially Durant, who has not scored too much as a star for a long time, and always makes wedding dresses for others.

A game that can't be the main character, it's hard to accept.

Popovich's long-lost look of agitation began to appear on his face.

Udoka saw it clearly, and a smile slowly appeared, "Coach, you are really clever. ”

"It's inevitable."

Popovich glanced at him lightly, "Superstars will establish a position in their hearts, they are used to being the core, and they can't stand the feeling of being choked by the throat and not being able to dominate the game. ”

"Especially players like Durant and Westbrook who tend to score."

Listening to his words, Udoka thought thoughtfully, "You summarized this by yourself?" ”

"Some are, and some are psychological."

Popovich pointed to the arena, "Durant can't stand it." ”

"It's time to adjust the defensive formation."

"The mind is in turmoil, and the hit rate will definitely be affected."

"At least it won't feel as hot as it used to."

"Our overall strength is better than the Thunder, as long as we take advantage of the opportunity that the opponent's super scorer is not in normal form, we can overtake it in one fell swoop."

Everything is under Bobo's control.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he gestured to Tony Parker on the court.

This gesture is a "tactical recovery" command that has long been tacit in training.

Parker will know and instantly communicate the head coach's intentions to the other four people on the court.

Everyone will know that Popovich is going to be ready to close the net.

So in full view of everyone, he quietly resumed his previous defensive position.

No one found out.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, only because I am in this mountain.

Durant and Wei Shao didn't find out.

And as a bystander, Thunder coach Brooks, and even the audience in front of the screen in the stands did not notice.

Spurs' intentions are very subtle, and everyone's movements are small.

All transformations are invisible.

That's what scares them the most, the perfect team, the well-trained soldiers.

Durant was so agitated that he didn't have time to feel as if his defense had dwindled.

All he's got to do is score a goal.

In the face of Kawhi Leonard, he made a quick stop and threw a cold arrow in succession.

"Bell!"

At Popovich's prayers, the ball missed!

The Spurs grabbed the rebound and launched a quick break.

Duncan handed it directly to Parker, and Parker made a long pass to Deng Hongfei in the front court.

Deng Hongfei and Kawhi Leonard are almost neck and neck, and among them, Wei Shao is in hot pursuit.

He's got a good grip on it.

You can change direction at any time to defend either of the two people.

Deng Hongfei had a plan in his heart.

Unlike other league teams, NBA teams have a variety of preset tactics for fast breaks.

They pay attention to developing a calm brain when playing fast breaks.

Conversely, teams in other leagues tend to lack flexibility when it comes to fast breaks.

Unafraid of Westbrook's pursuit.

Deng Hongfei took three steps with the ball in one hand and took off directly with the ball, and was about to throw it towards the basket.

Westbrook rose from the ground at the same time, as if out of gravity, like a winged roc, wrapped in the air current, swept in!

But Deng Hongfei's parabola of this ball exceeded his imagination.

The spinning basketball did not fall to the basket, but to the basket and tossed it into the hands of Kawhi Leonard at the other end, who caught it and pressed it into the basket at the right time.

As soon as he changed the defensive formation, he vigorously recovered two points.

Now the score on the court has been changed to 71:77.

Temporarily trailing by 6 points.

But the Spurs generals and Bobo are not eager to win, and they are confused.

It's about playing steady and defending.

As it turned out, Popovich's gamble seemed right.

Although Durant, as a super scorer, immediately returned color on the offensive end to pull the difference back to 8 points.

But in the next few rounds, his efficiency obviously returned to normal, and he was no longer able to raise his arms as casually as before, and he could pick up and drop like chopping melons and vegetables.

The Spurs offense was at a steady pace.

Deng Hongfei holds the ball at a 45-degree angle.

So far in the game, his personal score has reached 10 points, and Wei Shao on the opposite side, although he scored 20, Deng Hongfei has more assists and fewer shots, so he actually did not fall much behind on the field.

Talk directly to the sewer turtle.

He has adapted to the rhythm of the other side.

At the same time, I gradually found a way.

Dribbling sideways, taking advantage of the advantage of height and arm length, he protects the ball and pushes it in a little bit.

Westbrook couldn't pull out the ball, so he had to use as much strength as possible, and raised a hand to deal with Deng Hongfei at any time to get up and shoot.

But even in such a situation, Deng Hongfei still got up directly in front of him.
