Chapter 155: Stabilizing the Situation!(8/12 Seeking the First Order!)
"Don't be distracted by their offense, keep our rhythm going, the focus is on attacking and counter-attacking from the perimeter right now. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Tony, Yang, and Kehuai, pay attention to attacking the inside line more to ensure the success rate. ”
"Don't forget how we came back in the first game, bite the score, be careful to interfere with the shooters, their shooting touch will go down. ”
"Yang, strengthen the impact on the frontcourt rebounds, and now the opponent is thinking about counterattacking and fast breaking, and does not pay attention to the protection of backcourt rebounds. ”
After calling a timeout, Popovich made some tactical arrangements, which also cheered Li Yang and others.
After Popovich's enlightenment, Li Yang and others were indeed more stable, the Warriors' wave of offense just now caught several people on the court a little off guard, but after thinking about it, they experienced the same situation in the first game, and were beaten by the Warriors to fall behind with a big score. The situation is better now than then, at least the difference between the two sides is not too big, and all Spurs need to do is bite the score.
After Popovich finished speaking, the Spurs players walked back into the court, and at this time, Duncan also came to the side of several people and high-fived the players who came on the court one by one.
"Yang, you did a great job today, come on!"
When it was Li Yang's turn, Duncan patted Li Yang's shoulder hard after finishing the high-five.
Li Yang is the player who starts in his place, and Duncan naturally knows that Li Yang has a heavy task on his shoulders.
"Don't worry, Tim, you won't get a chance to play in this game. Li Yang turned his head to look at Duncan, grinned and said.
Duncan nodded after listening, and didn't speak, but the palm on Li Yang's shoulder added strength, as if to tell Li Yang in this way: "I believe!"
After the timeout, the Spurs scored immediately on the first round, and Parker dribbled to the basket after blocking and throwing in to score two points.
As Popovich said, the Warriors were so smooth on the offensive end that they were focused on the offensive end and wanted to play on the counter-attack. For example, now, the Warriors don't seem to care about the Spurs' goal, the Spurs have just scored, and the Warriors quickly sent the ball out and pushed it into the frontcourt.
However, what made the Spurs have to admire is that the Warriors' side Curry and Thompson felt too good in this quarter, after the ball was handed over to Draymond Green in the high position, the two ran cross, and while the Spurs' defense did not follow up slightly, Curry received the pass and shot.
Danny Green's follow-up defense was not timely, he even directly sealed his face, but he still didn't stop Curry from shooting.
The Spurs attacked, and Parker's advance was also very fast, and at this time, several Spurs players were already in position at halftime.
The ball was in the hands of Leonard, who was on the baseline, and Leonard's back-to-back shooting percentage was very good, but this time, his turnaround jumper failed to hit.
"Leonard's shot missed, and the ball was a pity...... Oops, what a board, Li Yang! Li Yang grabbed the rebound in the front court!"
When Leonard missed the shot, on the Warriors' side, several players were ready to start running to the other half, and even Green, who was on the inside, turned his head sideways at this time, as if he was watching how to launch a fast break after grabbing the rebound.
Li Yang was originally in the middle distance of the baseline, and when he saw that the Warriors players did not pay attention to protecting the rebound, he immediately rushed into the interior.
Before Draymond Green jumped, Li Yang jumped up first to grab the rebound, and then pushed it back into the hands of Leonard, who had just missed the ball.
The Warriors players had already run away at this time because they were thinking about counterattacking, and Leonard turned out to be unguarded at this time. After receiving the ball, Leonard did not waste another opportunity, and hit a solid two-point shot.
The Warriors attacked again, and it was Klay Thompson who shot this time, and he still chose to shoot from outside the three-point line, but this time he finally missed it under Leonard's defense.
Dio grabbed the rebound, but Parker was not in a hurry at this time, controlled the rhythm and took the ball across the half court, and the ball was handed over to Dio, who was in a high position.
The Spurs' offensive position is still very open, except for Li Yang who falls to the baseline to help his teammates cover, the rest of the Spurs players are either near the three-point line or are actively running to find space for outside shooting.
Parker led Thompson to the left baseline, and with the help of Li Yang's cover, he managed to get rid of Thompson and received a pass from Dior in the middle distance.
Barnes, who was on Li Yang's side, immediately flashed out from Li Yang's side and pounced on Parker, who was already jumping at this time, after seeing that Thompson was not able to follow at the first time.
Parker threw the ball quickly, but instead of shooting, he threw it forward.
At the position where the basketball fell, Li Yang had quickly cut into the basket at this time!
Klay Thompson was busy keeping up with the defense, and Draymond Green, who was near the free throw line in the middle, quickly moved to the basket to make up for it.
However, the speed of the two is obviously not comparable to Li Yang, after receiving the ball, he took two steps forward, Li Yang had already entered the three-second zone, picked up the ball with both hands, and Li Yang was ready to jump up and dunk.
Seeing that he couldn't stop Li Yang from jumping, Thompson quickly stretched out his hand, leaned in front of Li Yang, and reached out to cut down on the basketball.
"Smack!" Thompson did hit, but unlike the dullness of hitting the basketball, the sound at this time was very crisp.
"Tick!" the referee's whistle sounded quickly, and the thug fouled!
At the last moment of the jump, Li Yang keenly noticed Thompson's movements, and he reacted super quickly and quickly sent the ball forward, allowing Thompson's hand to hit him directly on the arm.
The referee's whistle sounded, but Li Yang did not stop his movements, continuing the previous coherent movements, Li Yang jumped up, and his hands were easily slammed into the hands!2+1!
"Good shot! 2+1! Li Yang has a frontcourt board and an empty cut dunk, these two rounds are a great achievement! Li Yang's dunk also caused Thompson's foul, and Thompson also fouled three times. ”
As soon as Yu Jia's words fell, the guest Zhang Weiping immediately said: "This is very good news for the Spurs, Thompson has committed three fouls, he will have some scruples on the defensive end, and Parker can attack more appropriately at this time." If they can get Thompson to get four fouls, then the Spurs will be better off!"
Zhang Weiping can see this, and Popovich can naturally see that he can cause Thompson's foul while completing the inside attack, which is definitely an unexpected gain for the Spurs, and it also strengthens the Spurs' determination to attack the inside.
In the next few offenses in the third quarter, the Spurs were resolute inside, and when the interior Warriors shrunk too small to have a chance, they passed the ball to the outside.
This offense was very similar to the first quarter, and although the Spurs didn't hit a single difficult three-pointer on the court like the Warriors, they were able to maintain their rhythm and play steadily as Popovich demanded.
In addition, the Warriors' outside shooting feel began to decline in the second half of the third quarter, while the Spurs paid a lot of attention to rebounding, and the scores of the two teams were able to maintain a relatively close score.
And at the end of the third quarter, Parker also managed to cause another foul from Thompson, giving the Warriors a second player to be forced off the court with four fouls.
At 90:90, the third quarter of the game ended, the two teams were tied, in fact, the Spurs did not play badly in this quarter, scoring 31 points in a single quarter, but the Warriors played too crazy in this quarter of the game, and they scored 38 points.
However, after withstanding this wave of attacks from the Warriors in the third quarter, the Spurs also stabilized the situation, and the two sides will face off in the fourth quarter! )
