Chapter 820: Victory

"This guy hasn't even had a problem with his physical strength?"

When the main lineup of the Spurs and Kings reappeared with 8 minutes left in the fourth quarter, Mark Jack was stunned to find that the situation he imagined Meng Xu's physical strength was exhausted did not appear, and in the first offense after the game restarted, Meng Xu hit a jumper under the defense of Harrison Barnes, and Meng Xu's relaxed and calm expression when he shot made Mark Jackson a little shocked.

You must know that in the first three quarters of the game, Meng Xu played for nearly 30 minutes, and made as many as 26 shots under the defense of Draymond Green, in this case, not to mention a 33-year-old veteran, even if it is a young and strong Stephen Curry, it is impossible not to have physical problems, but now Meng Xu has no problems, and his performance on the court looks energetic.

When the next round, Meng Xu steals directly from Harrison Barnes's hands, and after scoring a quick break, Mark Jackson called a timeout without any hesitation, and now there are more than 7 minutes left before the end of the game, and the difference between the two sides is only 7 points, so it is not too late to make amends, of course, for his contempt for Meng Xu's behavior in this game, Mark Jackson is now extremely remorseful.

"Mark Jackson called a timeout, is he ready to adjust the Warriors' tactics?" Kenny Smith on the sideline commentary bench has actually been waiting for the Warriors to wrap up Meng Xu, but Mark Jackson has been very stubborn in defending Meng Xu one-on-one.

"Mark Jackson has finally made a change, but it's still unknown if they can save their team this time." In the final moments of the game, he changed his strategy and insisted on almost the entire game, and it is difficult for Barkley to say whether Mark Jackson's change is right or wrong, and no one can say whether Mark Jackson's change will get the result he wants.

After the timeout, Mark Jackson replaced Andrew Bogut with David Lee, and the rest of the main players remained the same, although the main lineup has not changed much, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Warriors' tactics are about to change, and after Stephen Curry pulled back three points for the Warriors, the Warriors' changes have also been revealed.

Switching offense and defense, Harrison Barnes posted Meng Xu from the backcourt, and when Meng Xu, who ran to the frontcourt, received a pass from his teammates, Draymond Green immediately rushed over to wrap Meng Xu.

"Greg, they're starting to wrap up." The Warriors finally changed their formation, and when the Warriors began to wrap up Meng Xu, Brett Brown, the main coach of the Spurs, who had been standing on the sidelines, immediately turned around and reported to Popovich who was sitting there.

"Hmm." There was no surprise, no excitement, Popovich nodded calmly to Breitt Brown, but in Popovich's heart, a hanging stone finally landed at this moment, don't look at today's game, Popovich sat on the sidelines like a Zen master, but in Popovich's heart, there was always some worry.

"Hey。。。。。" Unlike Popovich's side, Mark Jackson, who was on the other side of the court, regretted it a little after just adjusting the team's defensive tactics, because in the round just now, Meng Xu, who was caught by Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes, passed the basketball from the gap between Draymond Green and Harrison Barnes to the unguarded Buris Dio, and Burrece Dio's open three-pointer was like a dagger, stabbed into Mark Jackson's heart.

Originally, in Mark Jackson's plan, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, whoever is on the weak side will execute the bag clamp on Meng Xu, and when packing, you should also pay attention to blocking Meng Xu's passing route and forcing him to pass the ball to the strong side, in this bag just now, Draymond Green's blockade is no problem, he and Harrison Barnes are one left and one right, not only blocking Meng Xu's turning direction, but also blocking Meng Xu's passing route to the weak side, However, Meng Xu still found an opportunity to pass the basketball to the hands of Burrece Dior on the weak side, and it was at this moment that Mark Jackson remembered that Meng Xu had played playmaking guard before and won the assist king.

When the Spurs' next offense, Meng Xu once again accurately passed the ball to the vacant Kawhi Leonard in the case of a double package, and after assisting Kawhi Leonard's three-point shot, Mark Jackson was really a little panicked, not panicked, the point difference was immediately more than 10 points, and the 10-point difference was a watershed, especially when there was only half a quarter left in the game, the point difference of more than 10 points was already an irretrievable point difference in the eyes of most people, of course, If your team has a Maddie or Meng Xu, you don't have to take the 10-point difference seriously.

And this Warriors team obviously does not have Maddie and Meng Xu, so Mark Jackson, who seemed to be calm just now, is now a panicked group, pacing back and forth on the sidelines, while repeatedly looking up at the timer on the basket, anxiously waiting for the official timeout to come.

"The Warriors are in danger!" The point difference is getting bigger and bigger, and the Warriors players on the court are obviously a little anxious, obviously losing patience when running and passing, and when Klay Thompson is directly stealed by Kawhi Leonard when passing, and after the difference between the two sides is extended to 12 points through fast-break scoring, the Warriors are really standing on the edge of the cliff.

The current situation on the court is undoubtedly on the verge of getting out of control for the Warriors, and Kawhi Leonard's steal of Klay Thompson is undoubtedly a key kick to kick the Warriors to the edge of the cliff.

Since it was now time for the official timeout, Mark Jackson did not call a timeout and make adjustments, but stood on the sidelines and shouted at the Warriors players on the court a few times in a row, but the Warriors players on the court did not calm down because of this, but looked panicked because they were eager to get the score back.

Stephen Curry missed a three-point shot, David Lee, who grabbed the rebound in the front court, was directly overturned by Tim Duncan, and in a panic, Meng Xu, who grabbed the basketball, assisted Tony Parker to kick the Warriors off the cliff completely.

"We lost? That's how we lost? Looking at the Warriors players on the court, after Tony Parker scored a layup, with a dead look on their faces, and the difference between the scoreboard and the 14-point difference on the scoreboard, Mark Jackson still didn't believe that his team lost the first game of the semifinals.

And when the game was over, the Spurs at home won 112-105 against the Warriors, the entire AT&T Center was like an explosion, and applause and cheers filled every corner of the AT&T Center Arena!
