Chapter 245: Under the War Horse

The much-anticipated battle between the Cavaliers and the Spurs also kicked off on time.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the San Antonio Spurs home SBC arena, the game has not yet started, but the fans who came to watch the home stadium are crowded with the stadium, and the scene is extremely hot.

Although San Antonio is a small ball market, although the ball market is small, there are many people watching the game, and there are many loyal fans.

And in view of the attention that this game has received, TNT also broadcast today's game live, and the host of the show is still the big-mouthed Charles. Barkley and Kenny. Smith's pair of celebrities, the game hasn't started yet, but the two of them also began to chatter, and the first to speak was Kenny. smith

"Man, I'm really sorry for letting you swallow two notebooks, and then, go straight to the hospital for gastric lavage, and, stay for a few days. Are you okay now? ”

Kenny. Smith's words, on the surface, seemed to be apologetic, but his words were full of schadenfreude.

"Don't be too happy, Kenny, I'll fight back. I'm holding a grudge against telling you a secret. ”

"Are you threatening me?"

"It's not."

"What's that?"

"I still want to play with you?"

"Bet?"

"Hmm."

"Bet on what?"

"We're betting on the Spurs and the Cavaliers, and I'm betting on the Spurs to win." Barkley Road.

Barkley's words made Kenny stunned for a moment, and he stood up. Walked up to Buckley and touched Buckley's head.

Barkley didn't know what kind of plane Kenny was working on, and asked, "You don't want to do this kind of plane." To bet on a word? ”

Kenny still didn't speak, he glanced at Barkley, he smiled, and then, said, "Bet on the Spurs to win, you." If, I'll bet on you. I don't even know if you're sick or if I'm sick? ”

"Don't you believe in knights? Do you think he's going to lose? Barkley said.

Hearing this, Kenny comes over again. Touching Barkley's forehead, he continued: "Charles, I feel that you are sick, and you are not lightly ill. I don't know how your dean would let you out so quickly. Have you given up on treatment? ”

"I'm not sick. Just ask if you dare to bet. ”

Barkley Road.

"I'm not sick either. So I don't bet. Although I like the Cavaliers, I also know that the probability of the Cavaliers winning this game is very low. ”

Kenny said.

As Cavaliers fan Kenny believes, although the game has not yet started, the Cavaliers are generally underestimated before the game. Suffice it to say, almost no one is optimistic that the Cavaliers can win.

And the basket lottery company. For this game, the Spurs are priced 1.1-1 to win, while the Cavaliers are priced at 2.2-1 to win.

Whether it is the media or the so-called basketball experts, they are unanimously not optimistic that the Cavaliers can beat the Spurs on the road, in other words, they are also not optimistic that the Cavaliers can continue to maintain their winning streak.

"Doodoo ......" The whistle sounded for the long preparation time three minutes before the game.

The much-anticipated Spurs home game against Spurs has officially kicked off.

The main lineup on the Spurs' side is not much different from the previous one.

And the lineup on the Cavaliers' side is very different from the past.

The center forward Big Z did not play, and it was Boozer who replaced him in the center position.

The power forward position is played by James.

In addition, the small forward position is taken by Eric.

And Jeff on the bench stepped into the shooting guard position.

Cao Jian's position has not changed.

The main lineup of the Cavaliers has always been extremely stable, and this change of formation also surprised the Spurs.

Seeing such a lineup of the Cavaliers, Barkley, who was not optimistic about the Cavaliers winning just now, was even more sarcastic at this time:

"Big Z doesn't have any advantage anymore, and now, they are definitely going to be beaten inside, and I guess the Cavaliers will be finished after the first quarter of the game. The one who gets the inside line, wins the world, the Spurs have the advantage, and the Cavaliers now have no second choice but to surrender. I suspect that with this lineup, the Cavaliers have already shown that they have the intention of surrendering. ”

Barkley's words are not bad.

Those who get the inside line win the world, and now it is still the era when sharks, Tianzun, stone Buddhas and other big men on the inside line are wreaking havoc on the inside line.

He understandably had this in mind.

At the beginning of the game, Boozer was abused by Robinson at the beginning of the game, and the basketball came to Parker's hands, and Parker dribbled the ball over half the court and hung it directly to Robinson on the inside.

Robinson can still abuse him to the point of incompleteness against Big Z, let alone Boozer.

Boozer's height, strength, etc. did not have any advantage, and his teammates on the Cavaliers' side did not cover it, and as soon as he got the ball, the Spurs fans on the scene were completely high.

The Spurs commentator also commented, "It's going to be scored." ”

Sure enough, Robinson was unstoppable under the basket, and Shenlong swung his tail, shook off Boozer, and split the dunk directly with one hand under the basket.

The scene was completely detonated.

The shortcomings of the Cavaliers' lineup have also been completely exposed.

The highest inside line is Boozer, how can there be a reason not to be exposed, Barkley also directly commented, "The Cavaliers will not die if they don't die, although D Big Z can't stop Robinson, but, it's better than Boozer, right?" ”

"The knight is doomed."

The Spurs fans on the scene are also completely high, not only them, but also on the Spurs bench, the substitutes are also completely high, and some of the substitutes also began to often do towels and step on towels, and they are very busy.

However, with the exception of Popovich, he is not as optimistic as those people.

Since seeing the Cavaliers choose this lineup, his brows are also tightly locked.

Popovich, who has coached for many years, also saw Paul at a glance. Silas's intentions, he wants to rely on speed to bring down the Spurs.

In other words. It's Paul. Silas wants to use the Cavaliers' unique speed to play against the Spurs' interior height.

Of course, this is at the expense of the inside line.

Even Popovich had to admit it. It's an excellent way to break down the Spurs' twin towers on the inside.

The Cavaliers want to contend from the front, the Spurs inside twin towers, this is impossible, at least not now.

This is the only way to do it.

Popovich is also extremely curious about whether such a tactical arrangement can break the Spurs' inner twin towers. In this regard, he also waited and watched.

Spurs ball in, Cavaliers ball possession.

It was James who served. The basketball came to the hands of Cao Jian, who had come to the midfield, Cao Jian held the ball and took advantage of the Spurs' untimely retreat, and immediately increased the speed to the extreme. Hit the Spurs inside. Strong leaned on Parker and scored on basketball.

2-2

The Cavaliers' approach is really good on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, they really have no way to deal with the Spurs.

The Spurs still played inside, and this time the basketball was in Duncan's hands.

On-site finisher. even shouted directly, "I'm going to be scored again." ”

Really. On the inside, Duncan and James are opposed, and James has no advantage at all.

Duncan, turn under the basket, he is best at playing cricket and score.

Duncan's side scored the ball.

The knight's side immediately attacked quickly and ran.

This time it was Jeff who was going down, Jeff finally got a chance to start, he started the game, and he was also like playing chicken blood, extremely excited, holding the ball, going down all the way, in the high-speed march, he was intercepted by the martial saint, but Jeff was forced to lean on the body of the martial saint and made a layup.

4-4

The Spurs are still inside, Duncan and Robinson cooperate in the internal pass, Duncan relays in the air, and his hands are dunked.

As soon as the ball went in on the Spurs' side, all the players on the Cavaliers' side had already reached the midfield, and Cao Jian, who was in the backcourt, received a pass from Boozer, dribbled a step directly, and made a long pass directly, and the basketball flew towards the frontcourt, and it was James who received the ball this time.

Fast break, James is good at it.

Holding the ball, while the Spurs players were not in a good position, James held the ball, immediately made a three-step layup, flew up, and directly scored a tomahawk-style smash.

6-6

On the Cavaliers' side, the opening was not as expected or expected, and the opening was a direct defeat.

On the contrary, on the Knights' side, they changed to a small lineup, which also received a different effect, blinding countless people's titanium alloy dog eyes.

The Cavaliers made a fantastic start, which also made Barkley, who had previously commented that he couldn't resist the opening quarter, speechless.

The current knights, where is it difficult to parry.

Obviously, this is on an equal footing with the Spurs, and the two sides are now playing inextricably and comparably.

Spurs want to win, and from the current situation, it is really difficult.

If, according to Barkley, the Cavaliers would have surrendered in the first quarter, that would have been unlikely.

This thing can't happen, it's impossible.

The two sides fought to a draw.

Subsequently, taking advantage of the Spurs' failure to attack, the Cavaliers seized the opportunity, fired outside the three-point line, and made two three-pointers, once stretching the score to 6 points.

To everyone's surprise, the knight overtook him.

At such a critical moment, the Cavaliers actually overtook the score.

Many people thought that the Spurs would immediately chase the score back, especially when Duncan hit two goals in a row to narrow the score to 2 points, but at such a moment, it was Cao Jian.

Cao Jian followed up with three assists, one for Eric, who hit a three-point shot.

Once it was Jeff, who shot from beyond the three-point line, and this time he also firmly grasped the opportunity.

The last time it was James, who went straight to the inside penalty area, rose from the ground, and still slammed the dunk in a tomahawk style.

The difference was once stretched to 10 points by the Cavaliers.

In the game after the first quarter, the difference between the two sides also revolved around the point difference, and began to see-saw, the Spurs chased the score closer, and the Cavaliers immediately pulled away.

At the beginning of today, the Cavaliers' shooting percentage was good, so at the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers unexpectedly took a 10-point lead.

The Cavaliers ended the first quarter with a lead of as much as ten, which was also given to Barkley, who commented before the game that the Cavaliers could not survive the first quarter.

Kenny didn't miss the opportunity to taunt Barkley either," Charles. Is this what you mean the knights can't make through the first quarter? ”

Barkley didn't shy away from the topic either, "I admit it was me wrong. There was a miscalculation, however. It's not the process that matters, it's the result that counts. Wait for Bobo to make adjustments, the knight is waiting to be kicked ~ shares. ”

Kenny didn't answer Barkley's words, and he acquiesced.

In the second quarter of the game, the game went into rotation.

The Cavaliers bench lineup is not deep. This problem is also being expanded indefinitely.

The Spurs were under the leadership of Ginobili, and the Cavaliers bench was also in a crumble. Just now, there was a very long lead, but when Cao Jian's substitutes returned to the field, the score difference was once tied.

As a last resort, Paul. Silas was also immediately replaced. The main players of the Cavaliers in this game are also all back on the field.

The main force of the knights is back. After only two rounds, the Cavaliers had a slight momentum, and Popovich made another adjustment, this time, he didn't just replace the Spurs' main force.

This time Popovich didn't use Robinson, Duncan hit, Ginobili continued to stay on the field, and the main positions of the others changed. However, people have not changed.

Apparently. Popovich's change of formation this time is to make adjustments to the speed of the Cavaliers' small lineup.

Robinson and Duncan, at different times, stayed on the court, and the Spurs' speed also increased.

In addition, the Spurs' lineup, although it is reduced without Robinson, is enough, but it is enough to deal with the Cavaliers.

What I have to marvel at here is the coaching ability of a generation of famous coach Popovich, as well as the depth of the current Spurs lineup, to have height, to have speed, to specialize in the Cavaliers.

The Spurs made a change of formation, and the Cavaliers were immediately overstretched, and there was no one.

The Spurs' change of formation also had a miraculous effect.

Ginobili continued his previous style, the demon knife was sharp, and he went straight to the Cavaliers' inside penalty area and made a low-handed layup, which made the Cavaliers unguardable.

was about to pull the score away, but after a change of formation on the Spurs' side, the Spurs narrowed the score again.

The point difference remained at 2 points, and in the second quarter of the game, there was still 1 minute left in the game, which was still the game time of the Spurs.

Outside the three-point line, with a "shabu", the basketball entered the net, the Spurs overtook by 1 point, and the Spurs arena boiled.

That's not all, then another steal, James passes the ball, fast break.

James, who was robbed, was extremely unhappy in his heart and wanted to stage a big block, but Ginobili didn't let him get his wish, and also created a trap for James to drill into.

James fouled it.

On Ginobili's side, the ball went in, and he hit two plus one.

Spurs fans at the scene were also completely high.

There are also penalties.

The true nature of the Ginobili demon knife is undoubtedly revealed.

scored six points in a row, plus a steal.

The demon knife is over.

Duncan on the inside line was not idle, Parker did not shoot mid-range under Cao Jian's face defense, but, it didn't matter, Duncan protected the rebound well under the basket, grabbed the rebound in the front court, and directly on Boozer's head, hit the board, and the ball went in.

7 points.

Spurs also extended the score to seven points.

In the last minute of the second quarter of the game, the Spurs played this wave of offensive frenzy, which directly caused the Spurs to collapse, and the Cavaliers couldn't guard against it.

Fortunately, the second quarter of the game, at this time, also ended early.

At the end of the half, Barkley also commented on the game as usual, "Bobo is Bobo, worthy of being a famous coach, such an adjustment, the Cavaliers can't resist at all, I think the Cavaliers are really finished this time." In the fourth quarter of the game, the Spurs could be replaced by a bench. ”

Kenny still didn't take Barkley's stubble, although he also thought that the knight was out of luck, but he wasn't used to picking words so clearly.

There are some things, although everyone knows them, but saying them and not saying them are completely different things.

As it turns out, Kenny was right.

The Cavaliers' defeat to the Spurs is a well-known thing, and among them, the most clear is Paul. Silas Knight Coach.

Although, the Cavaliers are now trailing by 7 points, which seems to be chasable, but, Paul. Silas can be chased, but not chased, it's no different at all.

Previously, this small lineup was a tactic that Cao Jian discussed with him.

In fact, it proved that this tactic was very effective, otherwise the Cavaliers would not have ended the first half, just losing by 7 points.

Maybe it's exactly what Barkley said. It is not necessary to lose directly at the end of the first quarter.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Spurs would find a strategy to crack it so quickly.

The second half of the second section. The lineup used by the Spurs completely cracked the small lineup of the Cavaliers.

Now Paul. Silas also wants to change the formation, but there is no one at hand, so how can he change it?

Paul. Silas was also a sister at this time.

How?

In the second half of the game, should it be a small lineup, or should it be sent according to the original one?

This is what will Paul. Silas was stumped.

At such a critical time, Paul. In the end, Silas chose to persevere.

Stick to a small lineup.

In the dressing room, he also made a point of emphasis, "Defensively. We can't win. We need to recognize this. Since you can't prevent each other. So are we going to give up on the game? ”

Say, Paul. Silas also glanced at all the Cavaliers players present and continued:

"Nope. It's a game, it's a fight, it's a man's fight, only to die in battle. Didn't give up. ”

"Since. If we can't defend it, then we attack, attack, attack desperately, attack, throw the defense aside, and we compare ourselves with them to see who is more attacking. ”

……

Paul. Silas's words. Most of the knights still listened.

Second half of the game. Knights are like Paul. Silas said, to defend the offense to the end, they are thrown aside, anyway, you can't defend as well as others, so it's better than offense.

The Cavaliers seemed to have the momentum to carry out the offense to the end in the second half.

At the beginning of the game, Cao Jian also executed Paul very well. Silas's tactical arrangement, the opening came to the three-point line, and he threw it when he had an opportunity.

This is also a surprise to the Spurs.

Although the Spurs are still similar to the Cavaliers, there are still significant differences between the Spurs and the Cavaliers.

Although the Spurs are also small, they still put a lot of experience on the defensive end, which is not as good as the Cavaliers.

Knight's side, attack, attack. In addition to attacking, it is still attacking.

The Spurs scored the ball on the Spurs' side, and the Cavaliers immediately returned the color, and the process only took less than 5 seconds.

The knights, on their part, also grasped this very well.

Especially Cao Jian and James.

Cao Jian and James are not vegetarians in speed, and in the third quarter of the game, on the Cavaliers' side, what they saw more was that Cao Jian and James were constantly breaking through.

As soon as the Spurs opened, they also kept up with the rhythm of the Cavaliers, and obviously, the Spurs were not suitable to play this kind of game.

The Cavaliers chased the score to 3 points, but Bobo was still the same, extremely cautious, and quickly called a timeout.

Pause to make adjustments.

The effect of the adjustment is also extremely obvious, their lineup has not changed, but they have also strengthened their offensive firepower and fought to the death with the knights.

The Spurs are like this, and it is exactly what the Cavaliers like to see the most, fighting for offense.

Therefore, in the third quarter, the Spurs and Cavaliers also contributed a hearty battle for the fans.

Cao Jian made a three-point shot and the ball went in.

Spurs Ginobili chased down a three-pointer.

James rushed straight to the basket, encountered the bag defense, distributed the ball, and Cao Jian hit outside the three-point line.

Parker's mid-range shot, it's finally there.

Cao Jian received the ball and immediately made a long pass, and James received the ball and immediately attacked quickly.

The two sides go back and forth, the scores are also rising, and the hit rates of both sides are also very high.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Spurs didn't have a landslide advantage, and the Cavaliers didn't have the rout they imagined.

The knight is like a little strong who can't be killed, and his vitality is extremely strong.

Looking at such a knight Popovich, his brows were also tightly furrowed.

The Spurs have such a lineup, so to speak, it just happened to be against the Cavaliers' lineup, but the Spurs failed to resolve it.

Popovich also began to wonder if he was wrong to change the formation like this.

The game is still in full swing.

The players on the Cavaliers' side are also completely high.

Jeff hit high, outside the three-point line, received a pass from Cao Jian, opened his hand, and scored the ball "shabu".

It was also his fourth three-pointer of the game.

Not just him, but Eric as well.

has been lurking outside the three-point line for a long time, received a pass from Cao Jian, took the ball directly, and threw it.

Very confident.

And James is confident that he will never be lacking. James is not very good on the outside, but this still can't stop him, and he rushes straight to the Spurs' inside penalty area, rising from the ground, and is a one-handed split.

Among so many people on the Knights' side, the one who is a little sad may be Boozer.

Boozer's speed is not half a star worse than the other knights.

There's no way, who calls him an insider?

There are not many points, only 6 points.

However, he made up for it in rebounding.

Boozer relied on active scrambling and a lot of rebounds in this game, and the third quarter of the game was not over, but he grabbed 12 rebounds.

The Cavaliers are so durable, and the Spurs are about to be overwhelmed.

Popovich asked for another timeout.

There are still 3 points left in the difference.
