Chapter 17: That's Why I Don't Use Jack
"You take a two-minute break in the second quarter and continue playing, okay?"
Although Su Chen wanted to use Curry as a donkey to play the whole game.
But I still respected Curry and asked Curry.
As soon as he got off the stage, he heard Su Chen's words, and Curry almost stumbled.
However, Curry is very professional, and at the same time, he also has a strong desire to win, and if he can win the Spurs, he will be willing to play like this.
"No problem."
Curry nodded anyway.
Looking at Curry, he has no opinion, so Su Chen doesn't say anything.
Start laying out your next strategy.
After the arrangement, Su Chen saw Ron Adams coming over.
"Sue, although Curry played a good effect, but in this way, the load and physical exertion will be exhausted until the last quarter Curry is powerless."
"Maybe you think of the final quarter like the last game and let Thompson take over the game, but we can think of Popovich and we'll think of it too."
Ron Adams said with some concern.
Seeing that Ron Adams was only talking about this issue now, Su Chen was quite satisfied with this.
If he says it in front of the players when he is arranging his tactics, he is undoubtedly provoking his authority as a manager.
When playing a game, the most feared thing is infighting.
Ron Adams came to himself alone to talk about it after the players were gone, and I have to say that the old assistant coach is really a good guy.
"Don't worry, I just want Popovich to think so, Popovich thinks that he has grasped our strategy, and I will follow his ideas to counteract, we have an old saying in the East called "the plan is the plan."
Su Chen patiently reassured Ron Adams.
Although Ron Adams didn't know what it meant to 'plan for everything', he always felt like he was powerful.
Thinking about Su Chen's magical comeback in the last game, isn't this also the case.
The other side.
Popovich also saw Curry's tired appearance and estimated that Curry's physical exertion should be great.
On the Warriors' side, Curry played the first quarter without rest, while the Spurs entered the rotation at the beginning of the half-quarter, taking turns to consume Curry's physical strength.
After Popovich saw Su Chen let Bogut consume Duncan, Popovich also activated the rotation of the inside line, and Duncan was a big drain but got a break anyway.
On this premise, it is only two points behind.
Popovich is satisfied, and even to some extent, it is the Spurs who are the real advantage.
"In the second quarter, the Warriors will definitely use the rotation, we just need to do a good job of defending David Lee and Jarrett Jack, and Leonard will be up to you to defend Jarrett Jack!"
Popovich also laid out the strategy for the second quarter.
Leonard nodded like a robot.
The second quarter begins.
Spurs: Thiago Split (C), Matt Bonner (PF), Kawhi Leonard (SF), Manu Ginobili (SG), Tony Parker (PG).
Warriors: Festus Azeri (C), David Lee (PF), Harrison Barnes (SF), Kent Bazemore (SG), Jarrett Jack (PG).
Although I guessed that the Warriors would use the rotation in the second quarter, I didn't expect it to be five up and five down.
Generally, when a team enters the playoffs, the rotation will be reduced to 7~9 people.
But it can't be said that the combat effectiveness of these five up and five down is not good, Jack Barnes David Lee The three were originally the starters in Mark Jackson's lineup.
The reason why the rotation will be expanded so much is because Su Chen used Draymond Green and Richard Jefferson, two who had fallen out of the rotation, and put them directly into the starting lineup.
"As a joke, after the Warriors made five substitutions, the bench was three starters."
When Johnson found out, he immediately said with a smile.
Even Barkley's prejudice against the Warriors can't say anything now.
Draymond Green and Richard Jefferson were both passing, judging by their performances in the first quarter.
After all, Curry is the main offense, Thompson is the secondary offense, and everyone else is a tool man.
It seems that these original starters are in Su Chen's system, and they are really not as good as the starters who are replaced from the rotation, after all, there is no need to look at the offense.
Warriors offensive round.
For this set of substitute lineups, Su Chen just designed some simple misalignments, as well as blocking and dismantling tactics.
After all, Jarrett Jack and David Lee, their ability is also singles.
Especially Jarrett Jack, he is a strong breakout guard, although he can shoot, but he does not have the ability to make difficult three-point shots, and he can pull out the middle shot.
At the beginning, Jarrett Jack and Azeri played a block and pick, and after the block, he broke through the emergency stop directly to prepare to throw.
But Leonard did a good job of getting around the block, and a pair of long arms interfered with Jarrett Jack from behind.
Clang.
There is no doubt that the ball is iron.
The Spurs did not rush to play fast attack, but chose to slow down and play positional battles.
Against Jarrett Jack, Popovich has found a way to clean him up.
The reason why he didn't replace Gary Neil and let Parker continue to play was that Popovich guessed that Jarrett Jack would come back with a second team.
Jarrett Jack is physically strong and not afraid of some heavy defenders, but when it comes to speed defenders, his defense is clumsy.
Neither Parker nor Ginobili can handle it.
Even if Su Chen wanted to devise tactics to protect Jarrett Jack, if he couldn't prevent the two of them, Su Chen's operation space was very small.
Parker's sudden acceleration passed Jarrett Jack in one step, and Azeri was forced to help defend the basket.
Parker made a hit pass, and Split, who followed up, received the ball comfortably.
Azeri was out of position in order to make up for Parker, so he could only watch as Split rushed over for a layup.
The ball Split was able to dunk but not dunk, apparently to conserve energy, which is the traditional team culture of the Spurs.
If you can make a layup, you don't dunk, if you can pass the ball, you don't shoot, and 30 points is a selfish line.
Spurs 21:21 Warriors.
Spurs tied the score as soon as they started.
Su Chen scratched his hair, looking a little helpless.
That's why he asked Curry to be on after two minutes, and Jarrett Jack is usually beaten up when he faces an opposing star guard.
That's why Jarrett Jack is a big scorer, but he's always traded to various teams.
That's not the case with Curry's defense.
Curry's defense is not as bad as the impression is, and the public impression of Curry's defense is generally underestimated.
Even if Curry's defense isn't great, at least Curry's three-pointer can respond, and that's all that matters.
The camera also captured Su Chen's helpless expression.
Now everyone knows that Su Chen is dissatisfied with Jarrett Jack.
