Chapter 487: How to Beat the Spurs

When the Thunder hit the iron, the Spurs' offense was solid.

Zhang Xiaotian is not a master of organization, but his passing will increase the real hit rate, and the Spurs' opponents are very helpless.

And, the Thunder's overall defense is a bit of a problem.

They didn't put the team together very well, both offensively and defensively.

Speaking of which, both Paul George and Anthony can play without the ball, and there were many people who thought that their combination with Wei Shao would be smooth, but in fact, there were more difficulties than expected, otherwise the Thunder's record would not be so bad.

traded to two well-known All-Stars, but the results were not as good as Wei Shao's solo team, which felt quite pitiful.

In the third quarter, the Spurs began to suppress the Thunder, because as the outside line blossomed, Aldridge got opportunities on the inside, and the Spurs' inside and outside offense was successfully connected.

On the Thunder side, except for the Big Three, which are not very efficient, no one has come forward at all.

They also knew that it was dangerous to give the Spurs an advantage into the final quarter, and Wei Shao changed his style of play a few times, but it didn't work well, and the Spurs still took the lead step by step.

At the beginning of the final quarter, the Thunder made Paul George stare at Zhang Xiaotian inch by inch.

Of the Thunder's three strong points, Paul George is also the only one who is getting better and better the more he plays.

But confronting Zhang Xiaotian, who was hanging, made all his previous efforts come to naught.

Paul George's attacking ability with the ball is average, and Zhang Xiaotian almost didn't have a chance to make a shot.

The Thunder could only quickly replace Westbrook, but the Thunder's efficiency did not improve because of this.

With Danny Green and Murray taking turns to take care of them, Willis can't save the team.

After the Spurs replaced the main team, Zhang Xiaotian broke out again and extended the team's lead to double digits.

Then the three strong points on the Thunder's side tried to score three points, but the shooting rate was still not high.

This is the embarrassment of the Thunder, they don't have a dedicated shooter to open up space, and the offensive end, whether it is a breakthrough or a mid-to-long shot, needs three strong points to complete.

When Paul George made a mistake in the last minute and was stealed by Zhang Xiaotian, the Thunder could only surrender.

Leonard played twenty minutes in this game, and his form was just average.

But when he came back, he helped the team win the Thunder, which should be a strong team, and he was in a good mood.

And Leonard's return has made other teams more wary of the Spurs.

A strong defending champion who undoubtedly qualifies as a public enemy of the league.

In fact, since the Spurs won the championship last season, ambitious teams have specially formulated some targeted tactics.

But this season, the Spurs have changed, with the addition of Evans and the growth of Murray to upgrade the Spurs' No. 1 position.

The interior attack was a little weaker because of Gasol's departure, but the defense did not drop.

Now it depends on Leonard's situation, it is likely that the Spurs are stronger now, the starting team is younger, and the main strength has not changed.

On the training ground, Leonard, who had not yet been able to increase the intensity of his training, was a little depressed.

Zhang Xiaotian went over and persuaded: "Don't be anxious, this season will be ours after all." ”

When Leonard fully recovers, he and Zhang Xiaotian can lead the team in a staggered rotation period, so that the weakness of the Spurs' bench players who are not strong in active offensive ability will be eliminated.

If other teams want to beat them, they will add a few more difficulties.

On November 20, the Spurs host the Hawks.

The Hawks traded Howard in the summer to implement small-ball tactics and signed Gasol.

But the biggest change has been in the development of young people, with sophomore Taurin Prince making significant improvements, and this year's rookie John Collins is also an instant player.

It's just that the current Hawks are a bit too civilian, their top scorer Schroder has no leadership temperament, and the team's results are of course very ugly.

Mike Budenholzer feels like he's a bit of a go-to guy with tactics and doesn't know how to adapt to people, but the Eagles might be fine if they rebuild with the trend.

The first quarter of the game was a tight game, with Gasol doing well.

And the Eagles' bench lineup played well, with John Collins and Belineri on fire.

Of course, the Spurs are not a fuel-efficient lamp, although Leonard is still limited in time, his return is a big upgrade for the team, and the Hawks simply cannot block the Spurs' offense.

So the Hawks' resistance was getting tougher, and the Spurs took advantage of the opportunity to take the lead in the second half of the second quarter.

Schroder's performance is mediocre, and the Eagles' current attacking power is mainly manifested in the front line.

In the third quarter, the Spurs immediately made targeted efforts, and they were about to defeat the Hawks, and it was their bench lineup that helped the team continue its life.

When Zhang Xiaotian went down to rest, the big forward line of the Eagles kept scoring.

Leonard was a little depressed, if his body had fully adapted to the game, he wouldn't have made his opponent so arrogant.

But the Eagles only kept the team from collapsing early, and in the fourth quarter, Zhang Xiaotian went on the court to teach young people a continuous lesson, helping the team extend the score advantage to double digits.

After the Eagles put on a lineup of shooters and struggled, they finally had no choice but to admit defeat.

In terms of the Spurs' team defense, the average scorer lineup will not play at all, but will become an ATM when defending.

The team is in great shape, and Parker has plans to make a comeback.

But his current position is awkward, Leonard's comeback is the main force of the iron fight, and Parker is counting on the old friend of ** Vic.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Spurs, who was regarded as the big demon king by the outside world, was defeated.

They lost to the Pelicans on the road and were ravaged by the twin towers of Anthony Davis and Cousins.

The Pelicans renewed Holiday for five years for 126 million in the summer, and signed Rondo to form a tough backcourt, plus the combination of the first center and the first big forward on the inside, which is also extremely eye-catching.

Well, in fact, the main thing is that the two major inside gimmicks are relatively large.

The current Pelicans offense is very good, and there are single defense and assistant defense on the defensive end, but the overall defense is not good.

The No. 3 position is their weakness, if Leonard is healthy, even if the interior is completely blown up by the Spurs, they can have a fight, but Vicky did not let the main team play for too long, and gave up the game after falling behind.

Some people feel that they have found the weakness of the Spurs, and the pressure on the inside line and the strong inside defense weaken the impact of Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, and they may win.

But this point of view was immediately sprayed to death by others, in the era of withering inside, where to find two All-Star-level interior lines who can attack and help defend, it is better to team up with James and Durant to fight Zhang Xiaotian and Leonard, at least now there are a lot of powerful forwards.

The loss did not hit the morale of the Spurs, or that they rushed too hard last season, and the rhythm of this season is familiar to the Spurs.
