Chapter 654: Attack Wave (2/5)
Lynx offense, Chris Paul continues to hold the ball.
There was a cover at the top of the arc, Paul went straight inside, and Josh Smith, who gave him the cover, also went down at the same time, but the Spurs did a very good job of defending the penalty area.
Josh Smith didn't have a chance, and Paul continued to walk inside, and was soon caught in the middle.
At the same time, Michael Reid ran out of position, went around and received a pass from Paul, which Bruce Bowen pounced on.
Michael Reid didn't stop the ball, but shook his hand and passed it out again.
Andre Iguodala in the bottom corner received the ball and missed the three-point opportunity, because Duncan pounced on him, and to be on the safe side, Iguodala chose to shake it and shook Duncan to rush in.
Rushing to the bottom line, flying up and slamming, the lynx scored two points again!
This ball, the Bobcats began to play inside, and the offensive end played more complicated, Paul burst deep into the mid-range, and then passed the ball back.
Michael Reed arcs up to draw up the defense and then scores.
In the end, Iguodala dangled Duncan from the bottom corner and rushed to the basket to score a dunk, and the Time Warner Center cheered wildly.
A total of two points, but there are countless blocks and covers, and the Spurs' complementary defense is continuous, but in the second half, no matter how good the Spurs' defense is, it will leak gaps.
"The Bobcats' offense is patience, patient covering breakthroughs, patiently constantly sharing the ball, and finally, in the face of opportunities, they also showed great patience, not the best opportunity not to shoot."
"In the end, Andre Iguodala hit a violent dunk that detonated the Time Warner Center!"
On the commentary seat, an analysis from Cherry Miller.
On the sidelines, Qiao Hai also clapped his hands, this goal, the morale of the Bobcats has already been played.
……
The Spurs' offense is still slow through the half, waiting for everyone to settle down, and then speeding up at halftime.
Parker broke through the Bobcats' defense again, but this ball, the Bobcats made two changes in a short period of time, Josh Smith changed once, and finally, Perkins changed once.
Parker burst into the deep post and opted for a pass.
But he passed the ball a little reluctantly, because Josh Smith quickly pressed up, back and forth, and as soon as he passed, Josh Smith immediately reached out.
Suddenly cut to the basketball, the basketball was knocked away by Josh Smith, everyone looked up at the basketball, and then, a pair of thick black hands got the basketball.
"Josh Smith cut the basketball, Perkins got the basketball, and the Bobcats finished the break!"
Cherry Miller continued to chant: "The ball is given to Andre Iguodala, counterattack in frontcourt, three-on-three, Bobcats chance!" ”
Iguodala sprinted forward quickly, and in the face of Bruce Bowen's close delay, he tried a big change of direction but was unsuccessful, but at the same time, he caught a glimpse of Michael Reed on the other side of the court.
So, he passed a straight cross pass.
"Michael Reid received the ball, the big open space on the outside, is it going to continue to break through or ...... He voted! The three-point dry pull ...... on the outside! ”
With a bang, the basketball passed through the net frame and swayed white nets.
The Time Warner Center is already in a frenzy, with cheers, shouts, and screams incessantly.
Popovich was already on the sidelines, and he was hesitant to call a timeout.
But he glanced at the time, and the game had only been played for two minutes.
"It's too early to call a timeout."
Just hesitated for a moment, and on the field, the Spurs' offense continued.
Tony Parker broke through, attracted the pinch and passed back to the three-point line, Michael Finley received the ball and wanted to return a three-pointer, but in the face of Iguodala's supplemental defense, his three-point shot went straight out of the basket.
Paul near mid-range picked up the rebound, turned around and pushed back.
The Spurs reacted quickly, but with the exception of Parker and Bruce Bowen, the rest of the players were never able to keep up with the Bobcats' group of forwards.
Paul got the ball to the front court and rushed straight to the basket.
Parker couldn't stop it alone, and Bruce Bowen had to pounce to help defend.
Paul found the right moment, jumped up, jumped up and passed, and found Andre Iguodala in the bottom corner again!
I didn't shoot a three-point opportunity in the opening game, this ball, an absolutely big empty position, and there was not even a player to make up the defense, Iguodala glanced at the basket and shot slowly!
With a bang, the white net flower swayed again.
The cheers exploded again, and Popovich continued to cinch the timeout, still not screaming.
The Spurs continued to attack, and Popovich shouted from the sidelines.
In this ball, Parker controlled the front court and gave the ball directly to Duncan, Duncan's mid-distance singles, 45 degrees of the board, it looked like a must-score.
But with a bang, after the basketball hit the board, it slammed into the edge of the basket and bounced out again.
The Spurs' offense continued to hit the iron, the Bobcats grabbed the rebound, and Popovich was in a hurry.
"Retreat, retreat! Retreat! ”
This time, the speed of the Spurs' retreat is not bad, and the frontcourt is still at least a four-on-four, and with a slight delay, it can also enter a state of positional warfare.
But the Bobcats have already played a state of fast-playing whirlwind, and the offensive end is completely rushing with a lot of blood, Paul hit the inside, and while the Spurs' positional defense has not yet been formed, he directly made a layup and scored 2 points.
Almost instantly, the Bobcats unleashed an incredible offensive wave, 12:2, and in the midst of the long-lasting cheers at the Time Warner Center, Popovich called a timeout!
"At 12:2, the opening Bobcats played an unbeatable offensive wave, Popovich had to call a timeout, and in the face of the Bobcats' crazy counterattack offensive, the Spurs' timeout was actually a little late."
With a late timeout, Popovich's adjustment became even more drastic.
After the timeout, he made two direct substitutions, Michael Finley went on, Manuginobili went up, Nesterovic went on, and Robert Horry went up.
After these two substitutions, Duncan went to the No. 5 position, and the outside line was Manuga Tony Parker's duo, and the GDP combination was already fully on the field.
On the Lynx side, Qiao Hai didn't make any adjustments, he chose to respond to all changes with the same.
In the first round after the timeout, the Spurs scored, and it looked like a change to the Spurs' offense after Manu came on the court.
In fact, Qiao Hai and Popovich were well aware that the Spurs could have scored, but they were beaten by the Bobcats in the previous three minutes.
After a timeout, Popovich's hair dryer blows, and the Spurs come back to their senses and naturally start scoring.
After the Spurs found their crosshairs on the offensive end, they started scoring, but their defense still couldn't make things difficult for the Bobcats.
As a result, the game played for more than seven minutes, and the Bobcats maintained a lead of about 10 points.
In the second half of the quarter, Qiao Hai began to make substitutions one after another, he first took Michael Reed down, replaced Gerald Wallace, and let Iguodala play the second position.
Then, when the Spurs replaced Duncan off for a break, he made another substitution at the same time, replacing Perkins as well, and the court gradually became a small lineup, led by Chris Paul, plus four forwards.
In the end, in the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats scored 37 points, directly leading the Spurs by 11 points with a score of 37:26.
"The Bobcats' offense is so perverted, under their completely unleashed offense, even the Spurs are like they have no defense at all!"
"With 37 points in a single quarter, the Bobcats are likely to play a super high score in this game!"
