287 Last-minute arrangement
"Huh"
It was like a flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the silent and dark night sky, and the entire Oracle Arena became silent at this time.
"God, China's Jin Qiang throws a difficult three-point shot and then hits"
"Ahaha, China Jin, three points and then hit, 1 point, only 1 point left, this is a miracle night, from the moment the whole game starts, there are miracles all the time, it's incredible"
“155:154! San Antonio scored 11 straight points in the final minute of the game, and they blasted an 11-0 wave with three points, which is crazy, shouldn't three points be the Warriors' specialty? ”
"It's funny, there is only one point between the two sides in the game time of more than one minute, which means that anything can happen"
"We have been emphasizing the importance of this game before it even starts, and sure enough, no side will give up until the end of the game"
"Now the pressure is on the Golden State Warriors, although it is their turn to attack next, and they still have a one-point lead, but we have all seen that the Spurs are full of morale at this time, and they are fully capable of playing well."
………
Kerr was very angry, his face was very gloomy, and he even had an urge to kill, and in the blink of an eye, the huge lead was gone, and in the blink of an eye, the team was pushed to the edge of the cliff again.
However, in the next timeout that was immediately requested, Kerr didn't have time to get angry, even if he was particularly dissatisfied, even if he wanted to get angry, he had to wait until the game was completely over, and now the top priority was to arrange the next attack.
"3 points, that's right, it's 3 points, the next wave of offense, we also shoot three-pointers, you know, this is what we do best, everyone, listen, the ultimate goal of our offense is to shoot threes, but, before that, use the running tactics to create opportunities, Stephen, Klay, Kevin, you three wireless run without the ball, Drummond, Zaza, the low post and the high post to do a good job............ So, it's up to Kevin to make the final shot, and I want Kevin to be able to take a shot 45 degrees from beyond the three-point line on the right side......"
Kerr began his tactical set-up, handing the final shot to Durant instead of Thompson and Curry, who were better three-point shooters.
Compared with Durant, "Buddha" Thompson is undoubtedly also a big-hearted player, but it is conceivable that this ball, the Spurs, will definitely use the strongest defensive ability, which means that any tactics may be ineffective at that time, so for the Warriors, the player who executes the last offense, in addition to having excellent three-point shooting ability, must also have other top abilities, such as attacking with the ball, and this is exactly what Thompson lacks, after all, It's not yet the game that has come to the point where you can just catch the ball and shoot immediately.
And why not Curry?
To be honest, so far in this season's playoffs, Kerr is surprised and satisfied with Curry's performance, because he sees a better Stephen Curry, a more sane Curry.
However, at this time, Kerr was still reluctant to let Curry perform the last offense, not that he didn't believe in Curry's three-point ability, in fact, what he didn't believe in was Curry's "key ball talent".
That's right, it's the "key ball talent".
If it was the regular season, Kerr might be willing to give Curry such a chance, but he can't afford to bet on this game, because Curry has never proven himself in such a crucial playoff finale, just like last season, in the Western Conference Finals with the Thunder, the fourth game, if it wasn't for Thompson's stepping up, they probably wouldn't even be able to win the Western Conference championship last season, Kerr clearly remembers that at that time, he chose to believe Curry!
Besides, what is the purpose of bringing Durant on the board at such a huge cost this season? Isn't it at this most critical time that Durant plays "Mr. Key"? For Durant's key ball ability, Kerr has never doubted.
…………
"That's it, we did it, boys, I'm proud of everybody, this is the San Antonio Spurs, we never give up ........."
"It's not over yet, it's our turn to defend and it's going to be a big test and if we can successfully defend against the next attack, then we have a very good chance of overtaking the scoreline."
Popovich's eyes swept over the players around him one by one, and said very seriously, Jin Feng and they are also very focused at this time, because everyone knows in their hearts the importance of this defense, and at the same time, they all understand the difficulty of this defense.
It is no exaggeration to say that the next defense may be the most difficult defensive task so far this season.
There's a reason for that.
First of all, you don't know what kind of offensive tactics the opponent will choose, the three-pointer? Medium distance? Or a breakthrough, or a foul?
Secondly, there are too many key defenses, whether it is Durant, Curry, Thompson, or Green, they all have the ability to shoot at the last moments, which is bound to distract the Spurs' defensive strength.
Also, when it comes to alignment, yes, the Spurs have a lot of great defensive players, but it's also extremely important to send out the right defensive lineup from that, because as a head coach, Popovich has to think about rebounding and counterattacking ability while thinking about defense first.
So, at this time, it's not just a test for the players, it's also a test for the manager.
"Everybody, listen, you have to interrupt the idea of one-on-one defense, and I know some of you are very confident in your individual defense, but I have to remind you that the Warriors' off-ball movement is one of the best in the league..."
………
"So, I declare that the five players on this defensive mission are Kim, Kawai, Kyle, LaMarcus, Dedmon"
At the end of the timeout, when the players of both sides returned to the field one after another, the atmosphere of the scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone knew what the next attack and defense meant.
"Huh? Kyle Anderson? Greg sent Kyle Anderson, what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd? ”
"Interestingly, on the Warriors side, Kerr unsurprisingly sent out an absolute starting five, and on the Spurs side, the most surprising thing was that Greg replaced Danny Green with Kyle Anderson, who barely played in this series."
"Human Creep Essence Kyle Anderson, Greg Popovich what his plan will be?"
