Chapter 380: Team Basketball? Superstar basketball?
Smith shook his head and said, "I don't think so, the Spurs are still traditional basketball, and their three-point is different from the Warriors' three-pointer."
Buckley scratched his big bald head and asked, "What's the difference?"
"The Warriors' three-point is a tactical shot, and other offenses are extended from the three-point strategy, while the Spurs' three-point is just an extension of the previous offensive endpoint to outside the three-point line."
Barkley nodded thoughtfully, "That's true...... However, the Spurs have also improved a lot, and according to the previous style of play, it is indeed inefficient to score."
"Yes, in the past, although the Spurs' offensive efficiency was average, they were able to dominate the pack with their iron bucket defense. But now their defense has dropped a lot, and if they don't improve their offense, they won't be able to play."
"But with Duncan as a pillar, Duncan's transformation is still very successful, plus Parker and Ginobili, the Spurs are really worth looking forward to this season!"
"That's right, at least from this half of the game, the old Spurs have the strength to fight the Warriors!"
The second half of the game begins.
Maybe it was because they knew that the Warriors had the habit of "three crazy warriors", so the Spurs pulled up the defensive intensity as soon as they came up in the third quarter.
Especially on the outside defense, Danny Green launched a crazy bite on Zhou Yang.
It's like a playoff tiebreaker.
The referee took the home whistle and turned a blind eye to some of Green's small moves.
Zhou Yang has experienced strong winds and waves, and he doesn't care.
Instead of battling Green, he ran off the ball to draw the defense and help Curry shoot first.
Curry was in average shape today, shooting 2-of-5 from the field in the third quarter.
The Spurs took advantage of Curry's poor hand and caught up with the score.
Zhou Yang saw that it was time for him to make a move.
With 3:42 left in the third quarter, the score came to 68:64 and the Spurs led by four points.
Warriors offense.
Zhou Yang dribbled past half court, passed the ball directly to Tekoglu, and then walked slowly towards the sideline.
Danny Green didn't dare to be careless and clung to Zhou Yang.
Suddenly, Zhou Yang ran in the direction of the bottom corner, and Green chased after him.
At the moment when Zhou Yang just took a step, he stopped suddenly, turned around, and ran towards the middle road.
Green didn't expect that Zhou Yang would disappear as soon as he saw a flower.
Seeing that Zhou Yang got rid of the defense, Turkoglu immediately passed the ball over.
Zhou Yang received the ball, jumped off the trend, and scored a jumper before Duncan made up for the defense!
This top-notch off-ball run made Danny Green want to cry without tears.
Popovich was stunned.
This ability to get rid of the ball, the fluency of catching and shooting, he has only seen in one person.
That's Jordan!
Spurs attack.
Parker dribbled at the top of the arc, and saw that Zhou Yang was far away from him, so he called a cover and went directly to the penalty area.
Just as Parker was about to throw, Barbossa suddenly struck and blocked Parker.
Parker spun a spin and shook off Barbossa to the basket.
Just as he wanted to score a layup, Chandler quickly made up for the defense and blocked in front of him.
Parker didn't panic, and made a ground-hitting pass, trying to feed Split a pie.
But Zhou Yang didn't know where to get out again, and broke the ball before Split reached out to catch it.
Parker was dumbfounded, wondering how did Zhou Yang get through?
After breaking the ball, Zhou Yang accelerated and shook off Split's counter-grab, and then a long pass was thrown directly to Barbossa.
Brazil made it past halftime and went straight to the basket to score two points.
Zhou Yang's scary is not only his offense, his defense is even more terrifying!
Spurs attack.
Parker gestured to Duncan, who nodded and stepped back near the sideline.
Zhou Yang noticed this subtle movement
Immediately reach out to your teammates and pay attention!
Sure enough, after half time, Parker called for cover, and Split came up to block Curry.
Parker didn't break through from the left side like he did just now, but took advantage of Curry's squeezing cover to suddenly change direction and kill from the right.
Curry hurriedly turned to chase after him, but Duncan picked it up again and blocked Curry.
The inside line comes out with double cover!
Parker took advantage of Duncan's cover to kill the paint area and hit the shot!
Zhou Yang was on the far side and couldn't help defend it, mainly because he didn't expect that the Spurs' two interior lines would run out to cover.
Spurs' tactics are rich and live up to their reputation.
Popovich is really good, and after Duncan gets old, the team has transitioned successfully.
Many fans who started watching football after 10 years looked down on Duncan and felt that Duncan was a system player.
In fact, in Duncan's first few years in the league, Popovich's tactic was very simple, which was to let Duncan play.
Dead grass Duncan.
Later, because Duncan was seriously injured and had plantar fasciitis, the bounce and speed were slow, so he was forced to add a lot of tactics.
From this, it can be seen that Duncan is really a historical supergiant. Look at the book
He is not only at the peak of his body, he can fly to the sky and the earth, and he can do anything.
And after the decline in physical function, he can still use his height, experience, and defensive awareness to help the team and integrate into team basketball.
Duncan in the later stage can not only play alone at critical moments, but also help his teammates do all kinds of dirty work.
That's why the Spurs can re-emerge as a championship contender after Parker and Ginobili grow up.
Warriors offense.
Zhou Yang dribbled past half the court, and seeing that the Spurs still let Leonard defend himself, he continued to call for cover and kill to the left.
However, the Spurs' defensive strategy has also changed, and Danny Green immediately made up for it, not giving Zhou Yang room to shoot.
At the same time, Duncan was on the edge of the penalty area, ready to help defend Zhou Yang at any time.
Zhou Yang hesitated slightly, Leonard had already bypassed the cover, and the bag was coming!
Finally, it's still a bag clip.
Zhou Yang saw that there was a vacancy in Barbossa, and immediately passed it over.
Parker thought Barbosa was going to make a move and hurriedly made up for it, but Barbosa passed the ball again and passed it to Curry!
Popovich's heart was cold, and he knew that it was over.
The Spurs' passing is classic, but the Warriors' passing is not bad.
Although the Warriors have stars like the Splash Brothers, the proportion of singles between the two is getting smaller and smaller!
Curry catches the ball and doesn't hesitate to shoot three-pointers!
It's a pity that it deviated a little bit and the basket came out!
Chandler roared and beat Split to grab the rebound.
Zhou Yang took advantage of Danny Green's distraction, accelerated and came to the bottom corner, and Chandler passed the ball over.
Leonard hurriedly pounced, Zhou Yang shook it, flew Leonard away, and then shot with three points!
Swish!
Three-point hit!
Duncan shook his head slightly, and he realized that the Warriors' style of play was really a combination of tradition and modernity.
Unlike the projection teams of the past, the Warriors have too many offensive means.
