Chapter 214: Jazz of the Plateau (4)

After the timeout, the Jazz lowered the tempo and slowly played a success rate, although they solved the offensive problem, but they still couldn't limit the Spurs on the defensive end. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Until the bench was replaced, the weak offensive ability of the Jazz bench was exposed, but it didn't allow the Spurs to widen the gap by relying on desperate defense, and at the end of the third quarter, the Spurs led the Jazz by 15 points.

Schneider was also aware of the problem with the bench scoring, so he put Johnson on the court at the beginning of the fourth quarter and led the bench to play.

Johnson is a veteran after all, in addition to ability, he also has a lot of experience, as soon as he got on the court, he found an open teammate to hit a three-pointer, and then caused the Spurs to make a passing error, and after getting the ball, he scored another 2 points on a stop-up jumper.

Old man Bobo immediately replaced Leonard and Lei Shui on the field: "Ray, you are still in a high position, Kehuai, you are on the flank as the main point of attack." ”

Leonard immediately hit two mid-range shots to stabilize the situation and successfully limit Johnson's play.

The three people on the outside of the Spurs are Ginobili, Thunder Water and Leonard, all three of them belong to people who can attack and pass, although Ginobili is a substitute, but everyone knows that this substitute is a pseudo-substitute, once it starts, it can't be pressed.

It is very difficult for the Jazz to use the bench to limit three people at the same time, and the fourth quarter is a critical moment, Schneider replaced the main force early, and the old man Bobo is not in a hurry and continues to keep the lineup unchanged just now.

The person who defends Thunder Water is Hood, in order to limit Leonard's play, Hood deliberately relaxed the defense of Thunder Water slightly, and from time to time leaned over to interfere with Leonard's offense, as soon as Leonard saw Hood coming to assist in defense, he went to the bottom line, and Hood just followed, and immediately passed to Thunder Water, which is bound to cause a collective change of position for the Jazz, and there is always one point that is either misplaced or empty.

With the tactical literacy of the Spurs, the transfer of the ball is very good, but the Jazz also seized a point, Dedmon can only get close to the basket to attack, so the opportunity is always on Dedmon, but the small players who changed over, all struggled to squeeze him out of the three-second zone, and resisted his lower three, Dedmon can play without the ball, and the offense with the ball is almost a thing, Dedmon is stagnant at this point, then all the defense will take the opportunity to be in place.

After the old man Bobo saw it, he immediately replaced Dedmon with Ade, and after Ade came on the court, the solution to this problem was perfect, Ade's turn and shot, the little man couldn't interfere at all, and he shot 2 of 3 and continued to expand the difference.

The Jazz no longer dare to rotate defense like this, so Thunder Water has become the first opportunity, and shooting is not a problem for Thunder Water, and he also shot 2 of 3 and scored 5 points.

After some offense and defense, the Spurs have a 20-point lead, and the advantage is very obvious.

The Jazz, who were far behind, also let go, and Hood hit three consecutive shots under the Thunderwater defense at this time, although the Spurs responded, but this is not a good sign.

Old man Bobo used the timeout and Lei Shui to discuss the defensive issue: "Lei, you are too lax in defense now!" Don't think that you can relax if you are ahead, and if you feel tired, I will let you down and rest immediately! ”

Lei Shui gasped and raised his right hand: "Okay~ I... I'm going to... Rest. ”

Old man Bobo originally intended to let Lei Shui strengthen his defense, not really to let him rest, this is still 2 minutes away from the break, how can you wait for the Jazz to change first, and then change it on your own side, just when Old Man Bobo was about to explode a little foul, the team doctor David Schmidt noticed Lei Shui and stepped forward to ask: "How do you feel now?" ”

Lei Shui took a deep breath: "I'm very tired, my body can't keep up with the speed of my brain." ”

Schmidt looked up and gave Bobo a look, and the old man immediately said, "OK, you rest!" ”

Schmidt then said to Lei Shui: "Lei, you've never played in a plateau environment. ”

Lei Shui nodded: "Yes, this is the first time, do I have anything to do with the plateau, it only started soon after the fourth quarter was played." ”

Schmidt said: "This is a plateau, a little bit different from the plains, once you start to feel tired, then your energy will quickly drain, but don't worry, just rest for a while." ”

Lei Shui asked, "Why are the others okay?" ”

"They've all had targeted training, and we've got masks that simulate the altitude environment, so you can try it when you go back, but until then, if you encounter the plateau, I'm afraid I'm going to control your playing time, and Denver is even higher than that," Schmidt said. ”

After a short break, Thunder felt much better, and the Spurs also firmly controlled the situation on the court, and the Jazz began to take the initiative to replace the main pitcher in the face of a big difference of 3 minutes and 18 points.

The substitutes of both teams completed the rest of the game in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere.

After the game, Schneider hurriedly trotted all the way to the Spurs' bench and hugged Popovich, the two whispered for a long time before saying goodbye, throughout the game, the Jazz players' playing time was very average, the highest was only 29 minutes, and some of the substitutes were even longer than the main team's playing time, quite a bit of Bobo's old man's style, but Bobo's old man did not do so average.

Schneider respects the old man Bobo very much, because he originally served as the head coach of the Austin Bulls in the NBDL, which is a subsidiary team of the Spurs, and his coaching has been more or less influenced by the old man Bobo, after coming to the Jazz team, he combined with the local plateau climate, where the game is at home, generally does not let the players play for too long, if it is not for the Jazz too many injuries, it is estimated that the Spurs will not be so easy to win today.

In this game, although Lei Shui was a little sick from the ground, he still performed well, with 15 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks, ranking third on the team in scoring and first in assists.

And Leonard is really good at self-adjustment, and after a slump in the first game, he efficiently scored a game-high 29 points, grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds, and grabbed a game-high 4 assists.

The Spurs will rush to San Francisco immediately after playing the Jazz and play the Warriors back-to-back.

Lei Shui is still more excited about playing the Warriors, and when he shot that midcourt shot at Oracle Arena, he was inexplicably excited as soon as he stood on that court.

Lei Shui's brain was excited, but his body was tired, as soon as he got on the plane, he fell asleep when he sat down, and when Ginobili came up with his bag, he saw that Lei Shui had fallen asleep crookedly, and muttered: "This guy won't help me carry the bag anymore." ”

Mills said: "Altitude sickness, understand. ”

Ginobili smirked: "Okay, then understand it well." ”
