Chapter 166: Slaughtering Spurs?
It's completely different from what he expected at the beginning, and the Clippers who returned to their home court seemed to add a buff, and the efficiency was to send almost every shot to the basket.
"Da Lei scored 4 points in the first quarter, Griffin scored 6 points, and more than half of the team's points were scored by these two interior lines, and 8 of them were scored under the basket. Su Yi's answer was a breakthrough: "But this is indeed an obvious advantage in the Clippers, the interior offensive combination of these two people, not to mention the Spurs, is rarely found in the entire league." ”
"Huh!" In the court, Chen Lei took Paul's ground-hitting pass, bypassed Sprint, took a step forward, and reached the basket with a flip of his right hand and a backhand shake, throwing the ball to the basket, and the basketball flew backwards and then plunged into the basket.
The Spurs' inside line was once again ruthlessly trampled by Chen Lei, easily broken, and easily made a layup.
"Beautiful backhand layup, 20:12, the difference has widened to 8 points." Zhao Ke shouted in surprise, "It's 7 minutes and 2 seconds in the first quarter, will today's game be a massacre?" ”
"Toot ~" With Zhao Ke's commentary, the referee blew the whistle for a timeout, and the Spurs sought a timeout.
The Spurs did not limit the dual offensive interior combination of Chen Lei and Griffin at the beginning, both of whom not only have super individual offensive ability with the ball, but also have passing skills that can be taken out with one hand.
Whether it's catching the ball, playing alone with the ball, or reaching the basket, the two are familiar with the road.
The Spurs' side did not put too much pressure on the Clippers on the defensive end, prompting the Clippers to become more and more brave and start defending one by one.
"Let's not talk about offense. Let's start with the defensive "wave. Povich swept around his teammates, "The time has reached the 7-minute juncture, according to my understanding of the other party, the No. 8 on the opposite side should be resting, if he is still there, don't worry too much about how to block the opponent from hitting the basket, he is very young and full of momentum, I don't expect anyone to stop him from moving forward, and the defense is not only to block the opponent is victory, have you forgotten our usual drills?" Interfering with the opponent's shot does not necessarily mean intercepting the opponent's footsteps. ”
"If the opposition squad changes, I don't think I need to stress too much. You are players in San Antonio. You should know that the offensive and defensive system of the Spurs is imprinted, not extravagant personal counts, just for the ideal timing of shots, not extravagant to intercept the opponent outside the range of firepower, but must find a way to interfere with the opponent's normal shooting rhythm, and also grab rebounds. Grab every rebound ...... "wave. Before Povich could finish his sentence, the tone of the pause sounded. Wave. Povich sighed and stood up, "Come on." You guys are the best! Forget what happened just a few minutes ago, find our rhythm, and give my opponent a hard beating! ”
At the end of the timeout, the Spurs replaced Ginobili for Green. The rest of the positions have not changed, Dior replaced Duncan a minute ago, and the other positions are all starters.
The Clippers have also made changes to their lineups. Povich expected Chen Lei to really go down, and he was accompanied by Redick and Paul, and Collison, Crawford and Jordan Jr. returned to the court.
"Is that okay, man?" Collison looked at little Jordan with concern, this guy looked really haggard, as if he had been squeezed dry by a woman.
"Don't worry, everyone will have a few days of discomfort every month, and it will be over after a while." Little Jordan smiled, expanded his chest vigorously, then clapped his hands, and walked to the court.
Little Jordan wants to save face on his lips, but the feeling of powerlessness under his feet is still very clear in his mind, even if the cold has reached the second half of recovery, but the weakness of the body and the dizzy head still greatly reduce his energy.
"Toot ~" One minute on the court, Jordan Jr. sent a foul in the face of Dior's attack, and at the same time, the opponent's attack also hit the ball, giving the opponent a 2+1 opportunity.
Christian Dior hit the first free throw and the second as well.
"Why is the reaction speed so slow?" Although Jordan Jr. is still running very aggressively and his speed is not slow, his reaction awareness has obviously decreased a lot, and Rivers understands that it is the sequelae of a cold.
There is no room for the Western Conference Finals to give the opponent a chance to breathe, and giving the opponent a chance means forcing himself to a dead end.
Could it be that Jordan Jr. won't be able to play today?
That's not good news for the Clippers, and it's terrible.
"Davis, get ready to play!" After another half minute, Rivers decided to replace Jordan Jr., beckoned to the big baby on the sidelines, and used a dead-ball opportunity to replace Jordan Jr. back on the bench.
"How's it going, is it still an impact?" Rivers looked at Little Jordan with concern, the table just now was completely different from the past, and he wouldn't believe it if there was no problem.
"I don't think it's a big deal, but I should be fine as I get used to the intensity of the game." Jordan Jr. looked at the court with some reluctance and then looked at Rivers, "I'm fine, I'm really fine, coach ......"
Rivers patted Jordan Jr. on the shoulder and told him to sit back on the bench for a good rest, as for the court...... I'll talk about it later.
It's cruel to make a warrior shed his uniform, let alone a warrior who is obsessed with the battlefield.
Rivers had to do this, not only for the team, but also for Jordan Jr., although this game is extremely crucial, but the subsequent games are even more critical, for one game and bury hidden dangers for other games, it's not worth it!
Big Baby's defensive ability and height under the basket are not enough, but he can still contribute a lot of strength on the offensive end. Povich is known for refining his tactics down to the minute, and when Davis came on the court, he immediately replaced Duncan.
Parker's lob was thrown to Duncan twice in a row, the first one went around Duncan to get around Davis and the second ball went deeper, and on the offensive end, he passed the ball to Dio, who threw it from close range.
Easy two attacks in a row, easy team tactics.
The horror of the Spurs is not only their dizzying ability to share the ball, but also the ability to share the ball. Povich has instilled an offensive and defensive system for nearly two decades.
From a layman's point of view, basketball is just you passing me, I pass you, and throw the ball out if you are in a good position, but basketball is far from being so simple, just like the Spurs, their tactics are very particular even if they take a step forward and a step back.
For example, in the offense just now, Duncan's second ball is in the deep position, whether he is advancing or retreating, the Spurs players will run with it to assist and pull the vacancy, and the tactical movement is extremely fast.
In other words, no matter how the Clippers defend the Spurs, they can have the safest way to deal with it, this is the Spurs' amazing offensive art, and it is also a system that no other team can seek, after all, no team will be like the Spurs, let one person teach for nearly two decades.
At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs were 28:33 with the Clippers, and the margin narrowed to 5 points.
"If it weren't for the advantage we built up in the early stage and the continuous hitting of the ball in the last minute, I guess we would be the ones who are behind now." Chen Lei, who played at the end of the first quarter, still had sweat on his forehead, and he rested for less than three minutes in the first quarter.
This is tired Chen Lei, who has never taken on so much pressure, and is still fighting a lot of inside lines physically.
Jordan Jr. played with Chen Lei at the end of the first quarter, and the duo's interior partnership was tepid, at least it didn't let the Spurs get a bargain from them.
Jordan Jr. played a total of 3 minutes and 5 seconds in the first quarter and got 1 rebound, 1 turnover, and 1 foul, which is indeed very shabby for him who easily scored three or four rebounds in a single quarter in the past.
"Don't have that mentality, but believe in your own victory." Paul looked at Chen Lei beside him and smiled at him, "This is Los Angeles, this is our territory, no one can take victory from us, you have to recognize this, buddy." ”
"It's just a sigh, even if this is not Los Angeles, taking the victory from me requires them to knock him down." Wiping the sweat on his forehead, Chen Lei looked at the scoreboard confidently, it doesn't matter if you are a spur or a dragon thorn, it is a soft thorn to me.
In the second quarter, the Clippers' big baby partner Glen was outstanding on the inside line, and in the past, there would be at least one of Chen Lei or Griffin at this time, but today the situation is different, and the two of them have consumed a lot of human bodies, and they still have to rest for the rest of the second quarter.
Chen Lei, Griffin and Jordan Jr. were not on the Clippers' inside threat plummeted. Povich didn't tell anything, and Parker and Ginobili in the court clearly saw at a glance that God had given them the opportunity to hit the basket.
"Kill the opponent's penalty area~" Parker roared and launched an attack, and before the command was given, the others merged into the offensive formation before he reached the three-point line.
Parker, who was in possession of the ball, didn't stop himself, dribbling to the free-throw line and throwing the ball hard to the ground after drawing Granger to the defense.
The basketball bounced off the ground and fell into Duncan's hands under the basket, and he turned to face Davis, and Duncan did not rush with a rude barbaric rush, but amicably avoided colliding with the big baby and burst to his right side.
Davis moved to the right to try to intercept Duncan, but Duncan had already finished his offense and picked the ball towards the basket, which rose from the top of the big baby's head and smashed onto the rebound, and when he turned his head to look at the basket, the rebounding basketball had begun to fall and burrowed into the basket.
At 30:33, Duncan used his own hands to narrow the gap to 3 points at the beginning of the second quarter.
"It's really impossible to predict, there are too many variables in this game...... Zhao Ke couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the score difference back to 3 points, just now he was still doubting whether it was a one-sided slaughter, but he didn't expect the Spurs to catch it back so quickly.
"It's normal, because the opponent is the Spurs, the real powerhouse that has never faded." Su Yi glanced at the black-clad players running in the field, paused, and continued: "This game must be the most fierce battle in this series. (To be continued......)
