Chapter 273: Take Back the Initiative
The tactics of the arrangement could not be played, and the singles also encountered a lot of resistance, and the Spurs generals began to hesitate, which directly led to an increase in passing and receiving errors and counterattacks by the Bucks.
It's not that Old Man Bobo doesn't want to call a timeout, but he hasn't thought of an effective solution for a while, until the Spurs have a 24-second offensive violation, and Old Man Bobo and the referee asked for two timeouts in a row, one is that everyone can have a longer time to recover their strength, and the other is that everyone can stabilize their emotions.
Old man Bobo knew that the Spurs relied too much on shooting at the beginning, and as the Bucks' pressure on shooting increased, the Spurs' shooting began to be inaccurate, and at this time it should have increased the breakthrough, but the only one who had the ability to break through the Bucks' defense was Lei Shui, but Lei Shui's breakthrough could not form a threat, and the Bucks could implement the defense or wrap up well, and the most terrible thing was that under this kind of airtight defense, they only had three fouls on the whole team, which can be said to be a big reason why the Bucks can maintain defensive intensity.
"We have to increase the aggressiveness of the offense and make them pay the price of fouls on the defensive end, so as to reduce their defensive efficiency, increase their defensive costs, play tougher, and play more confrontations..."
Although it makes sense, but who is going to fight, it should have been the inside line to play first, but only Gasol has the ability to take the initiative to attack on the inside, and Gasol has not yet had a good cold, and it is a test in terms of physical strength, Gasol also said that if he fights with them on the inside line like this, his physical strength will definitely not be able to support the end.
At this time, the old man Bobo looked at Leonard, who had already shot 0 of 5, and now he was a little lacking in confidence: "I don't feel very good now, I don't have a lot of offensive control, I hope to use all my energy on defense and create some offensive opportunities for my teammates." ”
At this time, I can only hope for Lei Shui, and Lei Shui also knows the situation he is facing now: "I have very little room to break through now, and breaking through is equivalent to entering the iron bucket array, with front and back hats, which is really difficult." ”
Old man Bobo tugged at his white beard: "In this way, let's all create some breakthrough space for Ray, Paul plays power forward, and Ambushes Danny and Kehuai outside the three-point line, Dedmon, the task is to block people for Ray, and try to block or delay the people who want to come to make up for the defense when Ray breaks through..."
After some arrangement, he returned to the court, and this time it had an immediate effect, with the three outside three points on one side and a spacious singles space on the other side.
Lei Shui faced Brother Alphabet's close defense, quickly turned around and broke through, at the same time, Dedmon took a step ahead of Monroe to occupy the defensive position, and stuck him behind him, although Dedmon was standing in a good defensive position, but he belonged to the pit and did not, after Lei Shui broke through, he saw that Dedmon was standing in front of him, and he rose into the air without hesitation, and dunked under Dedmon's eyes.
The Bucks also defended again after a half-volley, and this time, the Bucks understood the role of Dedmon, so when Thunder Water broke through again, Henson came back to make up for the defense, and Thunder Water knew that the opportunity was coming when he saw Henson, and glanced sideways, Gasol was standing in his most comfortable shooting position impartially, and immediately half-turned and passed the ball to Gasol, Gasol was ready to make enough time and raised his hand to make a three-point shot.
Although the Spurs found a way to score, time was running out, and the first half ended after each side completed an attack.
In this quarter, the Spurs had 8 turnovers and scored only 9 points, creating the second-lowest score in the second quarter in team history, while the Bucks led the Spurs by 13 points with their super defensive resilience.
At halftime, the Spurs had serious faces, and the old man Bobo said: "Our ultimate goal is to play to the basket, and in the second half they will definitely strengthen the defense on the outside, I need 1 to 2 three-pointers, so that they don't dare to shrink the defense easily, so that Ray will have more opportunities to impact the basket, and our tactics can be lived..."
After halftime, in order to prepare for the next step, the Spurs replaced Gasol with Bertans to ensure that Gasol had physical strength at critical moments.
At the beginning, the Bucks were led by Beasley and hit the offense, and when Thunder Water was attacking, Monroe continued to be entangled by Dedmon, so others made up for the defense nearby, which caused Green's vacancy, Thunder Water sent a pass, Green did not waste the opportunity, the ball came out with his hand, and the three points were in the middle of the three, which also made the Bucks dare not let go of the outside line to come back to make up for the defense, and Thunder Water took the opportunity to score 4 points in a row.
The Bucks relied on Beasley to score 4 points, but when the Thunder Water was about to break through and score points again, Dedmon and Monroe got entangled under the basket, both elbows on each other's necks, and the referee blew the whistle decisively.
The whistle didn't separate the two, they still pushed each other, and their mouths kept spewing trash talk, at this time the teammates on both sides gathered around, Bertans stepped forward and pushed Monroe away, and Beasley saw this and pushed Bertans away with more ferocious movements, and then the two began to push each other and swear words.
In this way, the players of the two teams surrounded one after another, and Lei Shui wanted to step forward, but was pulled behind by Green: "Now the team needs you, don't act rashly." ”
The referee, with the help of the coaches of both teams, separated the men and gave Dedmon and Monroe a technical foul each by watching the video replay, while Bertans and Beasley were ejected from the court after being awarded a technical foul.
This time, the Spurs took advantage, because Beasley has been 3 of 3 in a short period of time, which is the scoring point that the Bucks currently rely on, and Bertans only temporarily came up to replace Gasol for a while.
The game continued, Lei Shui attacked with the ball, this time Monroe in order to make up for Lei Shui, before Lei Shui broke through, he hurried to seize the position, Lei Shui saw this, he will be counted, and quickly rushed to the basket, Monroe and Brother Alphabet showed a front and rear wrap situation on Lei Shui, Lei Shui used a low-handed straight ball, passed the ball to Dedmon's hand, Monroe went to make up for Lei Shui, the empty door behind him was wide open, Dedmon saw the stitches, seized the advantageous position under the basket, and received Lei Shui's pass with both hands to dunk it.
The Bucks missed the shot, Thunder Water took the rebound and advanced quickly, burst into the basket again, and passed the ball behind his head to Gasol, who was following him, and hit the middle shot.
At this time, the Bucks' counterattack was gone, and they could only play position, and in the positional battle, the Bucks' long-armed monsters had poor mid-to-long-range shots, and they were gradually taken back the initiative by the Spurs.
Kidd realized the lack of outside projection and quickly replaced Dellavedova, but this also gave the Spurs a chance to play pick-and-roll, after all, no matter who the Spurs team has a height advantage over Dellavedova.
Old man Bobo also really gave Dedmon and Thunder Water instructions to play blocking and dismantling, and Lei Shui used his ability to attract defense after blocking and dismantling, and assisted Dedmon to dunk and score 3 times in a row, stopping the Bucks in one fell swoop.
