The Spurs fielded a lineup of Split, Leonard, Li Yang, Ginobili, and Joseph against the Warriors' Draymond Green, Landry, Barnes, Jack, and Curry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Warriors also replaced two starters to go to rest, and in the first few minutes facing the Spurs' strong defense, the Warriors players were actually quite physically exhausted.

In fact, the Warriors only scored 15 points in eight minutes of the game, which was undoubtedly very successful for the Spurs. But Popovich doesn't feel like it's enough, and he needs to continue to put pressure on the Warriors on the defensive end.

Li Yang and others did the same, and after the change on the court, Li Yang quickly made a contribution on the defensive end, and his and Joseph's pressing caused Curry's mistakes.

In the following round, Li Yang blocked Barnes' mid-range pullup jumper.

When Leonard and Green are not involved in the wing defense or are not on the court, Li Yang's presence can still ensure that the Spurs' wing defense is strong enough, and this is the main reason why Li Yang can get consistent playing time now.

In fact, in terms of offense, Li Yang is not so stable, because his offensive means are too simple. For example, in this game, Li Yang did not score for 4 minutes in the first quarter.

Of course, this is also because Li Yang's performance in the previous game was too eye-catching, so the Warriors' players in this game also focused on taking care of him, and Li Yang didn't even have a chance to shoot.

At 21:19, after the first quarter of the game, the difference between the two sides was 2 points, and the lead was the Spurs. Limiting the Warriors' scoring to 19, it can be said that the Spurs' defense in the first quarter was very successful, and at this time, Popovich also began to make appropriate adjustments tactically.

"Continue to stay focused on defense and force the opposing backup point guard to play as much as possible. Manu, we need to pick up the tempo in attack and pull the score. ”

Tactical adjustments were made, and Popovich made appropriate personnel adjustments, with Duncan and Danny Green back on the field and Split and Leonard off.

The Warriors took the lead in attacking, and by this time Curry had already come off the court and replaced Klay Thompson, and the ball was in Jack's hands. Thompson was being entangled by Green at this time, so Jack chose to break through on his own.

Joseph did a good job defending Jack, blocking Jack's start, forcing the opponent to use his physical advantage to force the attack.

Jack leaned on Joseph and rushed to the basket, but Jack knew that rushing to the basket would not work, because Duncan was still waiting there. Rushing to the outside of the three-second zone against Joseph, Jack suddenly made a sharp stop and jumped, which not only attracted Joseph's defensive attention, but also made Duncan move to this side to follow.

Seizing his chance, Jack, who jumped, threw the ball into Bogut's hands.

After receiving the ball, Bogut turned around and stepped into the three-second zone, holding the ball with both hands to dunk. At this time, Bogut suddenly found that there was an extra figure in front of him, Li Yang!

"Why is he here?"

Bogut didn't expect Li Yang to be able to make up for the defense so quickly, and he didn't have time to think too much at this time, because he found that Li Yang jumped up in front of him, and his long arm directly reached for the basketball he was holding between his hands.

Clenching his teeth, Bogut pressed down with both hands, because at this time, he was already unavoidable, and he didn't have time to dodge in the air, he could only hope that his advantage in strength could suppress Li Yang's block.

"Smack!"

Li Yang's palm hit the basketball hard, and a huge shock force suddenly came from the basketball. Feeling this force, the muscles of Li Yang's arm agitated, and he exerted his strength violently!

"Get down for me!"

Bogut's strength is indeed stronger than Li Yang, but this is not a simple power contest, what he needs is to protect the ball tightly, and Li Yang is just a simple destruction.

"Ahh

let out an unwilling roar, but Bogut could only helplessly watch the basketball fly out of his hand under the strong influence of Li Yang.

"Yang, well covered!"

On the Spurs bench, the players stood up and were ready to shout, but their shouts were all muffled by a scream.

This scream naturally came to Inya, she stood up from her seat, waved her hand and screamed wildly in the field, where was the sweet appearance in Li Yang's impression.

Duncan got the basketball, and at this time, Li Yang had already landed and turned around and ran to the other half court, and Duncan immediately sent the ball to Li Yang's hands.

Duncan is well aware that when the rest of the Warriors have begun to retreat, if the Spurs want to play a counterattack, handing the ball to Li Yang is the best option.

Rushing to the other half court with the ball, Li Yang stopped after rushing to the top of the arc outside the three-point line, which made Landry who was blocking him a little relieved, he really didn't have the confidence to be able to stop Li Yang's impact.

But the next moment, Landry's heart was ten thousand grass and mud horses rushing through.

After a short pause, there was a shaking, and Li Yang immediately accelerated forward, leaving Landry completely behind.

"Bang!" Bogut was not on the inside, and Barnes's return defense was not able to stop Li Yang's attack, and a one-handed dunk gave Li Yang two points.

Li Yang was instrumental on the offensive end, while Danny Green was on the defensive end, and under his active defense, Thompson's three-point shot from running and catching the ball smashed into the basket. Thompson was badly defended today, and with the ball missed, he shot 0-of-4 today.

With the lessons of the previous round, all of the Warriors' players dropped back faster and completely gave up rushing for rebounds. However, the Warriors were still unable to stop the Spurs' offense, and Duncan added two more points to the Spurs with his steady 45-degree angle.

Unable to play in the previous game, Duncan played very aggressively in this game, and after this 2-point shot, he has scored 8 points.

When the team's main attacker was completely limited and it was difficult to create offensive opportunities for the rest of the players, the Warriors' offense at this time seemed disorganized, so Jack had to play alone.

Bogut motioned for Bogut to step forward to block the pick-and-roll, and after Duncan followed, Jack dribbled to the basket. In the face of Jack's impact, Duncan really couldn't keep up, but Jack obviously forgot how Duncan couldn't play in the previous game, and how the Spurs kept the interior line.

"Smack!"

When Li Yang suddenly shot under the basket again, Jack woke up suddenly, but it was too late, and with a big hat, Li Yang instigated Jack's layup.

Duncan, who followed up, got the rebound and handed it to Joseph, and this time the Spurs pressed the rhythm and fell to the positional offense.

Although Parker was not on the court, Duncan and Ginobili were there, which did not affect the Spurs' tactical coordination in the slightest, and after continuous passing of the ball, Li Yang received the pass at the free throw line. This is Popovich's latest new tactic, and it is also because Li Yang's shooting at this position is starting to be somewhat confident.

Li Yang, who received the pass, did not waste the opportunity, shot steadily, and hit the shot!

"Yang, so handsome!"

Karen Inia screamed and shouted on the sidelines again, and I don't know if he shouted that Li Yang's shooting posture was handsome, or that Li Yang was handsome in shooting.

In these rounds, Li Yang's performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends was excellent, and Inya's screaming couldn't stop at all.

However, Inia was finally able to stop at this time, because the warriors called a timeout.

With the Spurs' wave of 6:0 offensive Xiaogao*, the difference between the two teams has been stretched to 8 points, and when the offense of both teams is relatively sluggish today, the difference of 8 points is not small.
