Chapter 139: Twin Towers Chase Points
Sister-in-law and Ade frequently ate on the inside, scoring 6 points each, and the Pelicans substitute Jones, as a "Rocket veteran", did not have any temper at this time, and was forced to eat on the inside. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Then everyone on the Pelicans court chose to wrap the inside line, not allowing the sister-in-law and Ade to shoot easily, but the personnel shrank and gave the Spurs a big empty space on the outside.
Ade and his sister-in-law are both good inside passers in the league, and when the two encounter a bag, they pass the ball to their outside teammates without any hesitation.
By the time Bushy and Cousins had rested, the Pelicans were already trailing by 25 points.
The game looks like it's going to take a while, and Bushy Eyebrows and Cousins may choose to sit and have a coffee break or something off the court.
Brother Thick Eyebrows' face was a little ugly, how could the game collapse so quickly, this is not the script he wants to see, shouldn't it have been him and Cousins sweeping the whole court? That's the right script!
Cousins on the side couldn't smile at the moment, his eyes looked at the thick eyebrows, and the two looked at each other, only a wry smile.
Gentry as the head coach can't let the game go on so quickly, everyone's eyes in the league are on this game, if the Twin Towers lose today, then the other teams will follow the Spurs and target the Pelicans in the same way, this is not a situation that the head coach wants to see, he has to win today's game and tell everyone in the league that the Twin Towers are not easy to bully.
Although the score is already 25 points behind, the Pelicans have to show an attitude, even if they want to lose, they must be within 10 points. Gentry asked the twin towers to go up to chase the score, and by the way, it could also enhance the run-in between the two.
The Twin Towers were back on the pitch, and Popovich also put Ibaka and Diamond on the pitch to target the defence.
Ho Dong, Parker, Leonard came off the break, Mills, Simmons, Ginobili played.
The Pelicans serve, and backup point guard Moore advances to the frontcourt with the ball and hands the ball to Bushy Eyebrows from beyond the three-point line.
As long as the twin towers are on the field, the ball is handed over to the two to handle.
Bushy holds the ball from beyond the three-point line, swoops down the right side in front of Ibaka, and then passes the ball to Cousins, who is standing inside.
The latter received the ball, leaned on Diamond's body, turned and hit a hook shot to the board, and recovered two points for the Pelicans. The margin came to 23 points.
Then in the Spurs' offense, Ginobili made a three-point shot from the outside, but unfortunately hit the iron.
Cousins grabbed the rebound, controlled the ball to the front court alone, faced a defender who was a cut short of him, and shot three points again, and after a few bumps, the basketball fell into the net, and the margin narrowed to 20 points.
The Spurs attacked again, and this time it was Simmons who had the opportunity, receiving the ball in the bottom corner, opting for an unwise strong throw and finishing with an iron again.
Cousins grabbed the rebound and handed it to Moore, who just received the ball and made a long pass. At this time, Brother Thick Eyebrows has already rushed to the middle line.
After receiving the ball, Brother Thick Mei faced the chasing Ibaka, strode and dunked with both hands to ravage the basket, narrowing the gap to 18 points.
In a few offensive and defensive rounds, the twin towers will chase 7 points in a row. In terms of strength, it really should not be underestimated, and it deserves the attention of every team in the league.
In the Warriors general manager's office, Kerr, Curry, Green, Durant, and Thompson were all sitting on the couch watching the Spurs-Pelicans clash with the Pelicans.
The Warriors have five small deaths and can play the strongest offensive and defensive efficiency in the league, but the flaws and weaknesses of the Warriors team lie in the interior.
Zaza Pachulia and McGee are really not enough, and West joined in order to mix the ring with a base salary, although the strength is still there, but it can only be barely used. There is no one on the entire Warriors interior who can be used except for Green. Green happened to have another hard injury, height.
It is rumored that if the Warriors meet one of the "four centers" in the last century, they will be abused. Although this statement is biased, it also shows the weakness of the Warriors' interior line.
The race for eighth place in the West this year is fierce, and any team with 20 or more wins by now has a chance to catch the last train to the playoffs at the end of the season.
The Pelicans traded Cousins naturally not to let him go fishing with the thick eyebrows, and the team has high hopes for the two, aiming for the playoffs.
If the Pelicans become eighth in the West, according to the format, the Pelicans will play the Warriors who are the first in the West in the first round.
The Warriors, who are weak on the inside, face off against the league's strongest twin towers, and that's not what the Warriors want to see.
But in order to prevent a possible situation, the Warriors' core F4 and Kerr are now intently watching the Spurs and Pelicans game.
"What do you think you can do to defend Bushy and Cousins?" As head coach, Kerr asked the most important question, how to limit the powerful Twin Towers.
The four Curry were silent for a moment, and then Green spoke: "Let me partner with McGee, I'll defend Bushy Eyebrows, and he will defend Cousins." ”
Kerr nodded and said, "You may have no problem defending Bushy Eyebrows, but do you think McGee can defend Cousins in his current situation?" ”
Green was silent for a while, shook his head, and nodded again.
"Maybe McGee can do it?" Green came up with this far-fetched sentence at the end.
Everyone barely managed to squeeze out a smile. Curry continued: "The Spurs' tactics were very good before, using run-and-shoot, the twin towers mainly scored 2 points, and the Spurs outside three were all three-point shots, can 2 points be better than 3 points?" ”
"And it can also consume the physical strength of Brother Bush and Cousins, so that they have less time on the court, as long as the twin towers are off the court, the Pelicans are vulnerable." Durant Road.
In terms of running and bombing, the Suns with Nash back then could be regarded as hanging everything, and now D'Antoni has gone to the Rockets and trained Harden to be an MVP-level existence, and the Rockets have also become a three-point team, a running and bombing team.
The head coach of the Suns went to the Rockets, but the core Nash is now with the Warriors.
As a consultant to the team, Nash also often communicates with Curry, and the Warriors also play and shoot, and the effect is also very good.
"If we can't limit them on the inside, let's take the game away with a three-point rain." Thompson, who hadn't spoken much, also spoke.
The crowd nodded, and then went on to study the game.
On the court, the second quarter has been played, and through the strong play of Bushy Brother and Cousins, as well as Holiday hitting three three-pointers after returning to the court, the gap has narrowed to only 5 points.
At halftime, the Pelicans trailed the Spurs by five points, 50-55.
Thick eyebrows and Cousins scored 15 and 20 points respectively, and performed strongly, narrowing the team's previous 25-point gap to 5 points.
"I didn't expect them to be able to chase back the deficit back to five points, so it doesn't look like we're good enough." Popovich said at halftime.
"But if we can pull the difference away the first time, we can pull it away a second time." The old man finally said lightly.
