"It's not hard to see that the Raptors have a hard time scoring. Wu Di has to face several defenders every time he attacks, which is enough to see that the Spurs' defense is very threatening. ”

When the Raptors called a timeout, looking at the score of 14:5 between the two sides, Barkley also had a stern look on his face.

Miller nodded and smiled lightly: "From this point of view, it is difficult for the Raptors to find an effective way to deal with it, and Popovich is obviously focusing on defending Wu Di. Moreover, if Wu Di continues to fight like this, then his physical strength will not be able to hold it. Of course, if the Raptors only rely on Wu Di to play like this, it is obvious that the loss is inevitable. ”

"Wu Di doesn't want this kind of solo fight, but apart from him, no one on the Raptors' side can score, which is really surprising."

And that's exactly what happened, Delon, Granger and Milicic all tried to attack, but all missed.

The 5 points scored on the court were all scored by Wu Di, but every time Wu Di attacked, it was a difficult goal.

Wu Di sat on the sidelines as he thought about the game, and the Spurs' defense made him feel the difficulty of scoring for the first time. Just before the timeout, Wu Di made 5 shots and only scored 5 points, which made him feel that he was so inefficient for the first time.

Collins was also thinking about what to do, only to see him call Bonner and Louis Williams to his side.

"Matt and Luiz, when you get on the court, try to contain as much as you can from the outside, and if you have the opportunity, you try to shoot threes as much as you can."

"And then there's Delon, you can't always give the ball to Wu Di and let him handle it, he doesn't play after all. Next. I ask you to break through more inside. If you have the chance. As much as possible, it is an opportunity for Dake to innovate. ”

After some arrangement, Collins's gaze fell on Wu Di, who was bowing his head and contemplating, with a stern face.

"Wu, I think you feel it too, their defense is completely prepared for you. If you play like that, it's hard to say about your fitness, but your efficiency will definitely be greatly reduced. What we need is to score goals and to win. Next, you cover DeLong more. And when necessary, you can choose a mid-range jumper, which is also your good offensive tool. ”

When Wu Di heard this, he also thought about it in his heart, obviously, Collins meant to let him cover Delong, after all, only then could he get the opportunity to shoot from the middle range.

Moreover, the breakthrough is obviously very draining, after all, the game is 48 minutes. It doesn't end in one section.

After some thought, Wu Di also nodded to show that he understood.

Soon. The timeout was over and the game resumed.

At the start of the game, DeLong held the ball and constantly signaled his teammates to run on the field.

And Wu Di saw that Delong gave him a look, and he didn't rub it, and took two steps forward directly, and made a block and demolition for him.

Such a scene seems to surprise the Spurs players, after all, Wu Di is the leader of the Raptors, but the current situation is that Wu Di covers DeLong and lets DeLong attack.

DeLong was stunned by the other party for a moment and went straight to the basket.

Duncan reached out to block, and the basketball passed through Milicic's hand and transitioned to Wu Di's hand who cut inside.

Wu Di received the ball, took advantage of Duncan's time to turn around, jumped lightly, and dunked with both hands.

"I really thought that Wu Di was going to contain the opponent and let others attack, but now it seems that the tactics should still be designed for him." Seeing this, Barkley laughed.

However, after a round passed, a different situation reappeared.

DeLong was blocked by Wu Di and broke through the ball to Milicic for a dunk.

Two successful attacks in a row immediately brought the spirit of a group of commentators, and obviously, such a game is interesting.

Popovich crossed his arms and looked at the situation on the field motionlessly, such a scene made it clear that he was thinking about a countermeasure.

Then it was the Spurs' turn to attack, and Ginobili's dribble breakthrough was directly stealed by Wu Di, so the first fast break of the game was born.

Wu Di quickly took three steps and made two steps, and rose from the ground 4 or 5 meters away from the basket.

"Two-armed windmills! This guy can really play. ”

"He should take care to keep his body in shape, after all, this game is not going to be easy."

Of course, Wu Di can't hear the commentary.

But he has his own ideas, after all, he needs to play with his momentum and threat, and only then can his teammates play easier.

The successful dunk made Wu Di's heart very happy, and he liked this feeling.

Seeing Duncan, who came over to pass shoulders and serve, Wu Di's voice sounded: "Tim, I will break through to the inside to dunk in the next ball." ”

Duncan didn't seem to hear and walked quickly to the bottom line.

Seeing this, Wu Di didn't care, but quickly retreated.

After the Raptors scored three goals in a row, the score between the two sides became 14:11, and the difference was only 3 points.

Then the Spurs attacked, and Duncan responded with a pass and assisted Ginobili to hit another three-pointer.

This situation made the scene very popular, and it was clear that the Ginobili shot in the GDP, then things would be easy.

After all, among the GDP trio, Parker is more of a breakthrough and mid-range, while Duncan's threat is only on the inside, and the outside threat is mainly on Ginobili.

Therefore, as long as Ginobili has a touch, Spurs' tactics tend to be better executed.

……

Outside the three-point line, Wu Di dribbled, and when everyone thought that he should choose to attack by himself, he still passed the ball to Delon.

Then, after going around in circles, he came back to block Delon.

After DeLong dodged past Parker, he rushed straight to the basket.

At this moment, Duncan moved in the direction where Wu Di was.

This scene fell in Wu Di's eyes, and he couldn't help but understand that Duncan obviously heard what he said before, and Shi Buddha was afraid that he would really rush to the inside to dunk.

However, Wu Di did not fulfill his promise, only to see his running steps suddenly stopped, and Delong's smash into the earth in the back also fell into his hands at this time.

After receiving the ball, there was no one around.

Wu Di jumped slightly. Open hand shot.

This scene surprised everyone. Because Wu Di just now clearly played like a big forward. The mid-range after the pick-and-roll is a bit of a surprise.

Duncan's eyes widened, he was a little unimaginable, this was usually him who deceived others, but he didn't expect to be tricked by a hairy boy now.

Barkley laughed: "Compared to scorers in the same level, the best thing about Wu Di is that he can adapt to various roles, which is the scariest thing about him. ”

When Smith heard this, he immediately agreed.

"Of course. Wu has grown up as a pitcher, so his catch-and-shoot threat should not be underestimated at any given time. ”

As they say, Wu Di did start to play the role of a catch-and-shoot player.

When Wu Di hit three mid-range jumpers in a row, the Spurs understood that the Raptors began to prevent Wu Di from holding the ball too much.

For Popovich, Wu Di does not attack with the ball, so the situation is a little troublesome.

After all, from the beginning, Popovich never thought about Wu Di as a shooter.

After the Raptors went on a 14-6 run. Popovich finally called a timeout, and he needed to rearrange his tactics.

Looking at the score of 30:26. Collins was also a little happy in his heart, and when Wu Di and the others left the court, he said loudly: "You guys did a great job, that's how you play." ”

Wu Di has now scored 15 points, and he has not been physically exhausted during this time, which makes him feel that this way of scoring is also a good means for the first time.

And that feeling reminded him of the time when he was playing next to Jordan and he was always able to shoot.

DeLong was excited at this point, he did a great job of playmaking, and so far, he has contributed 4 assists.

"Delong, keep going. Wu Ke is a great pitcher, you don't have to worry about not being able to pitch. ”

The atmosphere in the lounge area was relaxed, and Wu Di was also smiling happily.

When Wu Di said this, his teammates also laughed, obviously, everyone knows Wu Di's growth process, it is definitely an inspirational script.

For the Spurs, defending Wu Di was a top priority, and in the following game, Popovich arranged Brent Barry and Bowen to wrap up and defend Wu Di.

However, such a decision turned out to be wrong.

Although Delon is still attacking the Spurs' interior, and although Wu Di will still block for Delung, the target of Delon passes has become Louis Williams and Matt Bonner, who are roaming on the wings.

This was a surprise to everyone, in more than 3 minutes, Wu Di did not make a single shot.

However, although Wu Di did not make a shot, everyone was surprised to find that the Raptors' offensive efficiency was higher.

Matt Bonner threw two three-pointers in the second quarter, which allowed him to hold Robert Horry at bay from the outside.

And although Louis Williams was a little out of order, Granger, who came on the court later, became a surprise soldier.

Granger scored a total of 16 points in the second and third quarters, and the Spurs had to pay attention to him when he received the ball from the outside.

And when the rest of the Raptors were pinned down from the outside, the game was obviously much better.

Wu Di's offensive pressure was greatly reduced, and Deron Williams was getting better and better, and for a while, under his leadership, the Raptors had maintained the initiative.

In the first three quarters of the game, the scores of the two sides were 35:30, 24:22, and 26:25, that is, the Raptors led the Spurs by 8 points at the end of the third quarter.

And what is surprising is that the Raptors led the Spurs in all the scores in the single quarter.

Popovich was also anxious when more and more players of the Raptors played their form, but his coaching ability was excellent after all, and he made another adjustment in the fourth quarter of the game.

Popovich allowed Duncan to play more on the inside, while others rotated on the outside to try to open up space for Duncan.

In the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, Duncan's core offensive play allowed the Spurs to slowly regain the advantage.

With 2 minutes and 11 seconds left in the game, the score was 100:104, and the Spurs actually took a four-point lead.

This change made Wu Di feel a shock in his heart, because he saw the resilience of the Spurs team, which is a team that truly has championship strength.

However, Wu Di will not be afraid to back down because the Spurs overtook the score in the fourth quarter, on the contrary, Wu Di, who has already scored 33 points, is even more excited at this time.

On the field, it was still Deron Williams who held the ball, while the other four were running according to Delon's command.

Wu Di was standing outside the three-point line at this time, and this time offensively, his task was to shoot three-pointers.

After all, in the fourth quarter, the Spurs were able to overtake the score entirely because of the opponent's three-point shots.

It is worth mentioning that Ginobili has made 6 three-pointers in this game, while Wu Di, who is better at shooting three-pointers, only threw 3 times and hit 2 shots.

For the Raptors, who are 4 points behind at this time, they are completely going to fight for a three-pointer first.

And to fight for three-point shots, the best choice is, of course, Wu Di.

It was still Wu Di who stepped forward to block and dismantle, and Delong broke through to the inside line with the help of cover to find opportunities.

As expected, Delon didn't have any good chances, but he managed to get the ball to Granger on the outside.

Granger took the ball, Ginobili immediately pounced on the defense, and this scene also attracted everyone's attention.

Wu Di pulled outside the three-point line after the pick-and-roll, and in the process, Matt Bonner delayed Bowen for him.

At this time, Granger's pass came as scheduled, Wu Di received the ball, and the three points went straight to the needle.

Such a scene immediately caught Popovich's attention, and he immediately called a timeout.

Clearly, Popovich couldn't ignore the three-point threat that Wu Di brings.

However, after a short timeout, the Spurs were attacked by the Raptors 8:4.

With 28 seconds left in the game, the Raptors led by three points at 111-108.

Obviously, that's the real charm of the playoffs and even the finals, where the game changes in an instant, and that's what makes people crazy and shaken.

For Wu Di, he couldn't possibly give the Spurs any chance of a comeback.

However, Popovich's cunning still made him break out in a cold sweat.

In the ensuing offense, Duncan hit 2 points to chase down the deficit by 1 point.

However, defensively, when Wu Di also thought that the Spurs were going to take foul measures.

This was not the case with the Spurs, who did not immediately take the foul approach, but let as many as three people form a trap on Wu Di who was holding the ball.

The airtight encirclement made Wu Di feel like he was about to lose the ball for a while, but he still managed to pass the ball out.

For the Spurs, this gambling tactic was too shocking, and it directly led them to lose the first game.

However, this defensive approach is still very impressive, because it is the kind of courage that only Popovich can have.

For Wu Di, although he almost lost the ball at the end, the game was still won after all, which also made him happy in his heart.

The final score of the game was 113-110, and the Raptors won the first game by three points.

In this game, Wu Di played 39 minutes, 14 of 25, including 3 of 4 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and contributed 36 points, 6 boards, 4 assists and 4 steals. (To be continued......)
