Sun's performance on the court touched Popovich's nerves, and he saw too many times in this series that Sun Xiaotian took over the game alone. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoAt this time, Sun Xiaotian has already played high, and the Spurs will be difficult to do next.

……

Sun Xiaotian's quick dribble had reached the right three-point line at this time, and Green couldn't complete the retreat, so Parker could only come close to defend Sun Xiaotian.

Sun Xiaotian faced the sports car, there was no pressure, and he jumped directly in front of him, so that he didn't even have a chance to interfere.

"Huh!" His jumper hit with ease.

"It's hard to prevent, in the past, he came late, and he was a slow heater like the team, but today, he scored continuously at the beginning, and the Spurs' defense is not in place, it seems that the Spurs are going to be uncomfortable again!"

Popovich couldn't stand it anymore and started calling a timeout in less than 3 minutes.

"We have played against many excellent players, but Sun Xiaotian's kid is one of the most special I have ever seen, it is not okay to go on like this, we have no way to retreat today, I tell you, let go of your hands and fight, and attack them today, since you can't prevent it, then you can't defend it!" Popovich's speech shocked everyone.

This was said in the playoffs against Nash's Suns, when the Suns' bombardment caused the Spurs to suffer. At the critical moment, the Spurs gave up their defensive investment and began to attack the Suns, and finally narrowly won the game.

Of course, this Bulls team may not be as good as the Suns in Popovich's eyes, but this is the Finals after all.

The configuration of the Bulls is simple, it is one person leading a group of people to play, and this person is still a rookie. Therefore, Popovich arranged to let Sun Xiaotian go alone, focusing on strangling the other four people.

The game continues to begin.

The Spurs missed again on offense.

The ball came to Sun Xiaotian's hands again, and Noah came to help Sun Xiaotian block and dismantle, and Sun Xiaotian of course unceremoniously entered the interior again.

Green, who followed the defense, did not follow the defense with all his might, but handed it over to his teammates who made up the defense. And the teammates who supplemented the defense also understood Sun Xiaotian's ability to kill on the line, but they just raised their hands to intervene and did not step forward to fight physically.

Sun Xiaotian was a little stunned for a while, and hurriedly passed the ball out, and Butler made a shooting feint after receiving the ball, and then killed the penalty area.

At this time, there were three Spurs players surrounding Butler.

"Whoop! This treatment!! ”

Butler exclaimed incredulously.

Butler ended up with a turnover.

Although he blocked the Bulls' offense, the Spurs had problems on offense, including Leonard, who missed all three shots after making 3 of 3 shots in the opening game.

The Spurs' shot was still iron, although Split grabbed the rebound and the layup was again denied by the basket.

"At this point, even the baskets are starting to help the Bulls, and this is a great opportunity to open up the difference."

The Spurs missed three consecutive attacks, Sun Xiaotian held the ball and attacked quickly, although the Spurs team's interior defense was tight, but in the case of taking into account other people on the outside, there was no way to give him more people to defend on the inside.

Bo Shuai said that he couldn't guard against it, and the Spurs players couldn't really open the gates of the city, regardless of it.

Duncan and Green stepped back and defended and didn't lose their positions.

At this time, Hinrich and Gibson were divided into left and right sides, waiting for an opportunity to respond, and Duncan and Green also prevented Sun Xiaotian from dividing the ball when they were paying attention to Sun Xiaotian.

In this case, Sun Xiaotian is very likely to share the ball.

So Duncan and Green's footsteps and attention are on both sides.

But Sun Xiaotian, who was already happy, had no intention of sharing the ball at all, and directly jumped a step, while Duncan Tarzan pressed the top, the lever made a rebound, and the arc of the ball was extremely high, and Green couldn't do anything if he wanted to block it.

Basketball hits!

-----

In the first quarter, Sun Xiaotian had an excellent hand, 5 of 8, and scored 14 points alone, and under his leadership, the Bulls ended the first quarter with a 33-24 lead over the Spurs.

Aside from the Spurs' defensive strategy, the Bulls' pick-and-roll tactics were very successful today, and they played very smoothly, which is surprising, after all, this is not a regular tactic of the Bulls. Especially when Sun Xiaotian holds the ball, this power is even greater.

Because no matter what kind of defender Sun Xiaotian faces, he always has his own way. After a pick-and-roll, like against an aging Duncan, he can break through or choose to pass, and if he's facing someone shorter and thinner than himself, he has more options.

In response to the Bulls' blocking, Popovich told everyone to be as vigilant as possible and pay attention to the Bulls' passes, preferably destroying. In addition, they can push the pick-and-roll players as far outside as possible to prevent them from scoring easily.

After all, this is an outside offense, too far from the basket, and the Bulls still rely heavily on individual play, as well as their outside players, after all, their interior players are too poor to hold the ball.

The offense of outside players often relies on their touch, and the Spurs also have rebounding protection, so this arrangement makes more sense.

Subsequently, the Spurs changed their offensive routine, and they replaced Ginobili, Mills and Dio with Duncan, Split and Parker for a five-man lineup.

"Popovich was so bold that the rebounds were literally given to the Bulls."

Although the five small players were replaced, it was still the interior players who launched the attack. That's right, it's Dior!

Dio gets the ball high and the other players find the shooting gap through tireless running.

For a moment, the Spurs seemed to have opened a magic bottle, and the shots rained down.

11 to 1! A wave of flow, directly catching up with the difference of only 1 point.

Seeing that the advantage came to naught, the audience's hearts were as if they had gotten on the car and descended the ramp, and they were a little colder.

However, fortunately, Sun Xiaotian's hand is still there.

Sun Xiaotian used the cover to hit the inside line again and again, scoring layups or making kills, in short, he would never return empty-handed.

However, Popovich was no longer as restless as before. Even though Sun Xiaotian has super scoring ability and can save the team by himself, no matter how strong he is, he is just a mortal, and he also needs to pay attention to physical problems.

At the end of the second quarter, although the Bulls led the Spurs 52-47, but in the 52 points, Sun Xiaotian scored 23 points alone, and the others combined to score 29 points, and except for him, no one exceeded 7 points, this phenomenon is abnormal in Popovich's eyes, others only see how strong Sun Xiaotian is, but Popovich sees how weak others are.

What's worse is that in the first half, Sun Xiaotian only rested for 3 minutes. (To be continued.) )
