Chapter 694: Obsession

"Blame me."

On the Spurs bench, the old drunken coach sat on the bench, and although he called a timeout, he didn't seem to want to do any tactical arrangements.

On his face, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, and what is revealed under the passage of time is more of a desire to take advantage of this pause to adjust his mentality.

"Blame me for this game."

The game time has come to the second half of the third quarter.

The San Antonio Spurs have not been able to regain the advantage of the game since they were pinned to the ground by the Kings in the first quarter.

At the end of the first quarter, the Kings used manic firepower to explode and blasted out 40+ points in a single quarter. The single-quarter score comparison was a terrifying 45-23, and the Spurs trailed by as many as 22 points in the first quarter.

In this quarter of the game, Gu Yu played a full 12 minutes, and his teammates around him kept rotating, sometimes with a full defensive lineup, sometimes with more explosive lineups, and in the last two minutes, the Kings also sent a large and four small rapid lineup.

No matter who his teammates are, Gu Yu is always at the forefront of the battle. Whoever has a good hand in the Spurs, Gu Yu will defend him, as long as the king's offense stagnates slightly, Gu Yu will directly ask for the ball to cut points alone.

In the first quarter of the game, Gu Yu scored 22 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and his personal score happened to be the scoring gap between the two teams.

It can be said that the Spurs lost to one Gu Yu.

"I dug too much of a hole for everyone in the first quarter, and I was thinking that if I didn't play well as a starter in the first quarter, I would replace the bench. The substitute went up and was targeted by the opponent, obviously I was deflated, I had to punish myself, let the substitutes play a little longer, let everyone be vigilant, and then start chasing points in the second quarter and get the game back, but ......"

When the old drunkard said these words, the Spurs players around him all lowered their heads and couldn't say a word.

"But I still underestimated how good Phil Jackson was."

At this point, the old drunkard looked back and glanced at the bench on the other side.

"Hehe, don't argue, let's talk about tactics first." Phil Jackson was smiling happily, and he didn't see the murderous and aggressive aura that a top coach should have, but like a kind old man, who was taking a group of kindergarten kids on a spring outing, and there was a wonderful sense of intimacy.

It's amazing.

Years later, the old drunkard once again felt the fear of being dominated by Phil Jackson, with his superstar strategy and triangular offense.

Once upon a time, he thought he could be on an equal footing with the head coach with the most championship rings in history. He was even more or less brainwashed by the media, naively believing that the reason why Phil Jackson had more rings than himself was only because the old man of KFC always held Jordan, Pippen, Kobe, O'Neal and other king-fried combinations in his hands, and ate some superstar dividends.

However, these nonsense words are just a sweet trap that history has given to the old drunkard.

"Coach, don't say that......" Parker couldn't listen anymore, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Didn't we play quite well in the second quarter, but we didn't play well, and ......you don't blame you for this ball."

"No, the second quarter is the key to our loss so badly." The old drunkard shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's the damn second quarter, which makes me think that the previous performance of the Kings is just a return to the past, and it is not so terrible at all." In terms of strength, they have so many less main generals, and they are not on the same level as us at all. ”

"It's precisely this kind of thinking that made me bury the hope of the final comeback of this game......!"

After that, the old drunkard seemed to calm down a little during the intermission, and at the beginning of the second quarter, the Spurs finally fielded the lineup they were most proud of:

GDP portfolio, plus Leonard and Dior.

You and I both know that it is this lineup that beats the invincible Heat team in the world in the plane of you and me.

Terrifying transfer balls, terrifying overall offense, terrifying defensive rhythms, terrifying single-point bombing...... The horror of this lineup is not only Leonard's super-fast evolution, but also the perfect combination of GDP, and Boris Dior's omniscience.

And at this time, the Kings' lineup finally came to a period of weakness. O'Neal Jr. and Granger, who played for a long time in the first quarter, rested on the sidelines, and Witesse, Beasley and others, who were singles demons, were also pressed to the bench by Phil Jackson.

The lineup of the Kings has become Thomas Jr., Gu Yu, Stevenson, Speights, and McGee.

In this contrast, Thomas Jr. was beaten by Parker, Stevenson was beaten by Leonard and couldn't breathe out of his ears, Speights was prevented from collapsing by Duncan, and McGee was stuck outside the three-second zone by Dior's fat body, which was useless.

Only Gu Yu, who had been playing on the court and had not rested for a second, continued to torture and kill all the opponents in front of him.

After Ginobili was hit by Gu Yu and his brain was deprived of oxygen, Leonard stepped up silently.

But the king of the alliance's new generation of external blockade is still helpless in the face of Gu Yu.

QUICK STOP MID-RANGE SHOT, SIDEWAYS LAYUP, BACKHAND PULL, UP-AND-DON AFTER THE RHYTHM CHANGE STEPS UP AND DOWN TO HIT THE BASKET, THE CROSSOVER CHANGES DIRECTION TO THE EMERGENCY STOP, SLIPS TO THE BOTTOM LINE TO CATCH THE BALL AND THROWS TEARS DIRECTLY, MELON TENTATIVELY STEPS TO FLY LEONARD AND THEN CLOSE-TO-FOUL TWO PLUS ONE, STRONG SIDE TO ATTRACT THE BAG TO FAKE FAX THROW TURNS AROUND AND LICKS THE BASKET WITH A LOW HAND......

Gu Yu is like a textbook that records all the basketball heads-up offensive skills in the world, showing the most terrifying killer moves in basketball history one by one in front of Leonard.

Even though the young man with facial paralysis already had extremely terrifying judgment and defensive skills, he still had no way to face Gu Yu.

However, even so, Gu Yu is still invincible with two fists and four hands, and on the offensive end, the Kings team still maintains a good efficiency and continues to move forward.

But on the defensive end, the Spurs' frightening move-ball tactics tore the Kings' defense directly into pieces.

"Throughout the second quarter, the Spurs maintained a 70 percent shooting percentage, scoring eight three-pointers from the outside in a single quarter and scoring 36 points in one quarter."

On the side of the commentary stage, Kefan was also reviewing the progress of the game: "On the king's side, only cousin Gu Yu's 19 points in a single quarter were struggling to support, and the whole team only scored 21 points in a quarter. ”

After recovering 15 points in the first quarter, the Spurs relied on Leonard's three-pointer before halftime to close the margin to single digits.

However, just when Spurs fans rejoiced, thinking that a strong outburst of Spurs was finally coming.

Phil Jackson, and Phil Jackson, who has been scolded by people for a whole season, and who can't do anything but pretend, has once again offered a strange trick.

Center Speights, power forward O'Neal Jr., small forward Beasley, and scoring guard Stevenson.

Point guard, Gu Yu.

"It's really a stroke of genius, Coach!!"

The Kings bench, Wei Shao, was really conquered by Phil Jackson's terrifying mind in this game, and he patted his ass vigorously: "How do you know that the Spurs will adjust the starting lineup from the second half?" It's really a god!! ”

"Hehe, that's because ......"

"That's because you're not as good as me as a point guard, understand?" Gu Yu smiled: "Assist." ”

“…… Wait the fuck for me, I'll beat your lungs out when the game is over! Wei Shao opened his mouth to threaten.

"I think my cousin is right." Vitesse floated by, dropping a sentence that made Wei Shao's lungs explode first.

"Hahaha......"

Gu Yu couldn't laugh, although he hadn't stopped for a minute since the game, he didn't feel tired.

IT'S NOT BECAUSE HIS BODY IS REALLY NOT TIRED, WHOEVER HE CHANGES, WHEN FACING THE SPURS, HE HAS TO CARRY THE OFFENSE ALONE, AND HE WILL DEFINITELY BE TIRED LIKE A DOG WHEN HE TAKES TURNS FIGHTING WITH STARS SUCH AS DANNY GREEN, GINOBILI, LEONARD, ETC.

It's because of Gu Yu that he finally realized how easy it would be for the players to play when there was a historical Hall of Fame-level super coach in the team.

The Spurs' lineup was once again guessed by Phil Jackson.

Due to the wonderful performance of the Spurs at the beginning of the second quarter, the old drunkard decisively adjusted the starting lineup at the beginning of the second half - which is also one of the famous habits of the old drunkard - and sent a lineup of Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, Duncan, and Dior.

Is this lineup unsolvable? Of course, there is no solution.

If you approach the problem from the perspective of "what lineup do I have to send to beat them?", there is no solution to this problem.

But what about a change of thinking?

Since there is no solution to this question, then simply do not answer it.

Wouldn't it be better to directly create a lineup that the opponent can't solve?

That's what Phil Jackson did.

Speights played as a center forward and continued to be on a par with Dior in various entanglements. Dio is best at dispatching offense, voluptuous running, mid-to-high jump shots, and defending heavy interior lines.

And Speights can only catch and throw, don't care about anything else, don't need the ball, don't take up half of the space, you can throw the ball wherever you catch, it's easy to use.

Duncan played his back, but he ran into O'Neal Jr., a textbook defense textbook with his back, and the Spurs' biggest advantage on the inside was dismantled by half. Duncan really went to a high position to wholeheartedly engage in strategy and throw in the middle of the shot, then Duncan's role was cut by more than fifty percent.

Leonard has some defensive advantage against Beasley, but when you can lock Leonard with a Beasley and leave Leonard with no time to defend against other players, the matchup is already successful.

Why can't Leonard switch positions to defend others? Because if he switches positions to defend Stevenson, Stevenson is defending, but can you bear to watch Beasley single-handedly play Manu in Ben Four?

Leonard went to defend against Gu Yu, and the effect was worrying, and in this way, Parker would either defend against Stevenson or Beasley, two bottles of poison, which bottle do you choose to drink? ?

In the end, the Spurs didn't switch defenses.

So Tony Parker suffered the most painful game in his brilliant career.

The first win of the playoffs, the Sacramento Kings, is just one step away.
