Chapter 116: Spurs change formation
After some deployment, Popovich put Ibaka alone to guard the interior, and Adela came out to limit Curry's defense. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Curry can't be allowed to dominate the game anymore, and the Spurs will have to deal with it if they want to win this game.
"Let's strangle Curry and the Warriors' offense." Popovich concluded.
Back on the court, the Spurs' defense is very effective, with Ade's height and arm span, he can effectively block Curry's passing route, and He Dong is not weak at all in terms of single defense ability, so that Curry began to fall into the dilemma of not being able to organize the whole team's offense.
Without Curry's revitalization, the biggest impact is Thompson, as the strongest receiver in the league, without Curry's pass, Tang Shen can't play his own rhythm.
In desperation, Green could only frequently stand on the outside line to receive Curry's ball from the other direction.
But tactically, Ade blocked Curry's right pass route, and Green received the ball from the left side and still couldn't pass the ball to Thompson and Durant standing on the right side.
However, fortunately, in order to guard the inside line, Ibaka will not pull to the outside to defend Green, otherwise the penalty area will be wide open, even if Pachuglia is cheating again, no one in front of him can score after receiving the ball.
And now, it's time to test Green's shooting ability from the outside.
Ade has no intention of making up defense, he is completely emptying Green, the Spurs are betting, Popovich is also betting, how Green will shoot in this game.
If Green feels hot, then the Spurs are completely out of line, and if Green feels cold...... Then the warrior will go home obediently.
The victory or defeat is all on Green.
Seeing that there was no one in front of him for a few meters, Green also understood the current situation, took a deep breath, adjusted his posture slightly, and then made a three-point shot.
The on-site commentator was Kenny Smith, a former NBA player who understood everything when he saw the Spurs' tactics, at which point he excitedly shouted, "Guys! Now the Spurs are betting on Green, and they're betting on Green's hand! ”
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, the basketball shot from Green's hand drew an arc in the air, the arc was not high, but the target was directly aimed at the basket.
Popovich on the sidelines was staring intently at this goal, and it can be said that this goal can determine the trend of the whole game and is a real key goal.
Everyone in the audience held their breath and stared at the goal with wide eyes, and many fans began to pray in their hearts that God would not score this goal.
Everyone on the field is even more nervous, and the most nervous is Green himself, because when you know that you can decide the trend of the game, you will inexplicably have a strong sense of tension in your heart, and this is the biggest demon in sports competition.
Under the gaze of countless eyes, the basketball finally smashed into the basket, and after a few bumps, it popped out of the frame, and the ball hit the iron.
"Whew!" There were panting voices all over the audience, and the tension in everyone's hearts was swept away, and it seemed that Green's hand was not good today.
There was a panting sound of glad iron everywhere, which made Green, as a party involved, very unhappy, and had a feeling of being rejected by the whole world.
You are alone in sorrow, and the whole world is cheering.
Curry came over at this time and patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, it's just one shot, the game is still long, and there are still many shots." ”
Green nodded, calming down a bit, the game was still long, and the Warriors needed him to shoot more balls in.
The Spurs' offense is still more blossoming, and after Ho Dong hit another shot from beyond the three-point line, Green was once again treated as an empty shot.
Green is really 10,000 *** floating by at the moment, do you Spurs look down on me so much? Am I not even able to compare with Pachuria?
With a slight anger on his face, Green didn't believe he couldn't score, and raised his hand to shoot again.
It's a pity that many things are so helpless, the more you want to score, the more you can't score.
The three-point shot struck the iron again, and in addition to shouts of joy from the audience, there was a burst of snickering laughter.
Green was unhappy at this time, you were so happy to see me striking iron?
The game continued, and this time Tielin also scored a three-pointer after taking advantage of his teammates' cover, and the Spurs began to overtake the score.
Faced with this situation, Cole also called a timeout.
This time he let the five people go off the court first, and waited until the fourth quarter to compete for the final victory, when everyone sat on the bench to rest, Kerr came to Green and said: "It's okay, this time it's just an ordinary regular season, just play at the usual pace, don't think about anything else." ”
Cole said this completely to make Green relax, and from the latter's expression when he left the game, Cole realized that the latter was not in a good mood at this time, so he came to calm his emotions.
On the Spurs' side, Popovich also chose to let the five players on the court go off the court, and they had been letting them play on the court before, and their physical strength was unbearable, and now they need to prepare for the last moment to fight for the bayonet.
The substitutes on the field played very averagely, and the scores of both sides kept chasing each other and did not pull away, which also made it necessary for the main players to play a duel in the end.
The crowd was waiting for the final moments, and the substitutes were not interested in the slightest.
As the minutes ticked by, in the anticipation of the audience, the fourth quarter played for two minutes, and the coaches of both sides let the main players play again.
The Warriors made a change of formation and replaced Pachulia with McGee, and Kerr probably hoped that McGee's athleticism and rim protection ability would bring a different chemistry to the Warriors in the final game.
On the Spurs side, there has been no change in personnel, it is still He Dong, Tielin, Leonard, Ibaka, Aldridge.
This lineup, except for Ade's defensive handicap, the rest of the people's defense is reliable, whether it is a single defense or a co-defense, they are very sophisticated, of course, He Dong is not yet called "sophisticated", but it is not far from here.
In the final moments, Popovich still adhered to the principle of defending to win the game, so he sent this lineup for the final battle.
Kenny Smith, who was the commentator on the sidelines, shouted at this time: "Audience friends, the first and second clash in the league is coming to the final moment, the Warriors have made adjustments, can McGee change this game?!" ”
The audience shouted frequently, and countless fans stood up to applaud and cheer for the Spurs.
On the court, the Spurs attacked, He Dong controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and at this time Curry had already started to defend him from the middle line, and it seemed that the latter really didn't want to lose.
The opponent's defense was tight, and the Spurs had to advance the blocking position, and Ade began to block and dismantle one meter away from the three-point line.
He Dong got rid of Curry by covering, and at this time he had accelerated to the three-point line, Thompson's defense was not yet in place, and He Dong immediately pulled out a three-point shot.
