Deng Hongfei and Ginobili led the second lineup to play the first 4-6 minutes of the final quarter.

No Durant and no Westbrook.

Reggie Jackson stepped up.

In fact, he was the only reliable scorer on the second team.

He repeatedly linked up with Adams through breakaways and mid-range projection.

Inside rookies from New Zealand, Adams and Reggie Jackson actually showed unexpected chemistry at key moments.

It was hard to fight the Spurs' second lineup for several minutes without falling behind.

Deng Hongfei personally defended Reggie Jackson, and he couldn't suppress his explosive state.

There is no weak brigade in the west, and the decisive battle in the west is even more of a dragon and tiger fight.

So no one can be underestimated.

With just over nine minutes left in the second quarter, Reggie Jackson's individual score had reached 20 points.

Under Deng Hongfei's defense, his scoring efficiency began to decrease, but he was still able to win kills by covering, changing positions, and breaking through to make fouls.

His experience is also improving through competition.

At this time, the score was 85:79, and the Thunder temporarily trailed by 6 points.

Popovich looked at Duncan, "Are you rested?" ”

"Almost."

Duncan shrugged his shoulders, although he is already an old player, but his style of play is destined to keep him in good shape and physical strength.

"Okay, get ready to play, keep playing low for me."

Popovich knows how to use troops at times like these.

Preemptively, it is always more proactive than being controlled by others.

If you make a substitution in one round, you can also take the lead in at least one round.

Considering the problem of lineup compatibility, players like Duncan can be compatible well no matter what kind of lineup system they are in.

So he has always been Popovich's most trusted combat partner.

As always, Popovich didn't let Duncan change his clothes and wait in front of the technical desk, but walked over leisurely, casually said hello to the technical desk people, and went back with a blank face.

The game is changing rapidly, and a good commander can do his best to gain an advantage in many ways.

Getting the details right is the key to success most of the time.

Udoka looked at Popovich, "What's next?" ”

The latter glanced at him, "If it were you, what would you do?" ”

"I don't have too good ideas." Udoka was silent for a long time, and shook her head earnestly.

In view of this situation, he really couldn't think of a good trick.

Popovich scoffed, "I ask you, where is Reggie Jackson's main shot?" ”

"It seems to be the middle distance."

Udoka replied without thinking.

"No, it's under the basket."

Popovich directly denied it, "Since Deng Hongfei defended him, his shots were all concentrated under the basket, the kind of situation you mentioned is that before that, the observation needs to be more detailed." ”

"And now on the inside of our game, Split is being held back by Adams' successes."

"Dior's air defense capabilities are not good, so I will go to Duncan to find a good opportunity for our current situation."

Popovich apparently regarded Udoka as his own disciple, teaching him his understanding of tactics and control of the battle situation.

Udoka thought thoughtfully, "So Tim is to continue to carry forward the advantages of the interior attack, and the second is to strengthen the air defense capability?" ”

"yes, do you still need me to tell you?"

Popovich gave him a blank look and stopped talking.

Udoka shook his head with a wry smile, his face overflowing with gratitude.

After the timeout, the score did not change.

Brooks saw Duncan play a thrilling game, but it was too late to make adjustments on the spot.

I could only watch Duncan go up.

As soon as he came, he showed extraordinary dominance.

Spurs' offensive round.

Deng Hongfei received the pass and hit Duncan without hesitation.

Duncan faced Adams' top defense, turned his back coldly and forced it over, and scored 2 points with a one-handed pick!

87：79！

Brooks couldn't sit still.

He immediately called a timeout and frantically replaced Dewey with the second young man.

This game is already 8 points behind, and if you don't play the ace, I'm afraid it's too late.

This change is also in Popovich's consideration.

Brooks is a coach who gets excited by the situation.

His biggest problem is that he relies too much on superstars.

It is true that the power of Dewey II is indeed comparable to that of nuclear weapons, and Brooks' style of coaching can maximize the strength of the two of them.

But everything is a double-edged sword.

A style like Popovich's has weaknesses that make him unable to do anything about it.

And this weakness actually happens to be Brooks' strength.

It's no secret that the Spurs fear superstars with terrifying individual scoring prowess.

Durant is clearly a player of that calibre, so Brooks can maximize his power.

Using Durant's containment to revitalize the whole team, the Thunder is not without opportunities.

The problem in this is to see whether the magic is one foot high or one foot high.

After returning to the court, the Thunder's on-court lineup was changed.

No. 1: Reggie Jackson

No. 2: Westbrook

No. 3: Durant

No. 4: Perkins

No. 5: Adams

In order to counter the Spurs' strong interior line, Brooks also had to make a change and take on the more defensive and athletic Adams.

Let the generous Perkins carry Duncan at the No. 4 position.

Adams was in the fifth position to defend the hinterland with Split.

The young New Zealand center forward, also under the trend of the times, ushered in the biggest test and opportunity of his career.

It is conceivable that if he can perform well at such an important moment, his status in the team is bound to rise.

This is the best stage for the playoffs to test whether a player is real money.

On the Spurs side, the lineup of Mills, Deng Hongfei, Leonard, Duncan, and Split was sacrificed.

Through the performance of the last game at a critical time, Deng Hongfei proved that he can shoulder the heavy responsibility.

It also makes Popovich willing to believe in him at critical moments.

Indeed, compared with Ginobili and Green, Deng Hongfei is more athletic, more youthful and energetic.

There is still some time before the end of the game, so it is wiser to use young people to deal with the situation.

The game is back.

There were 8 minutes and 36 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

Deng Hongfei talks to Westbrook again.

For the strength of the black-haired, black-eyed, yellow-skinned opponent in front of him, Westbrook has long experienced it.

Naturally, he did not dare to slack off.

He dominated the offense, with Reggie Jackson making a circle under double cover on the inside to a 3-pointer at a 45-degree angle on the right.

This tactic is a diversion.

Using Reggie Jackson's movement to try to disrupt the Spurs' defensive formation, incidentally drawing the attention of the Spurs' defense.

Win more space for Durant on the other side.

It's just that the Spurs all see very clearly, and the heavy troops are still blocking Durant's side, for Reggie Jackson's vacancy.
