Chapter Twenty-Three: Battle! You give me a fight!
The game continues.
The Warriors' defensive lineup played a role, and the Spurs' offensive efficiency was not high.
But the Warriors' offense was extremely difficult.
Although Bazemore defends well, he can't bring much support to the team on the offensive end, and even because of his poor free throws, Su Chen didn't even arrange a tactic for him to cut inside.
At the same time, Bazemore's organizational skills are relatively poor, and you can't expect too much from the rookie Bazemore.
In the case of very ordinary point guard organizational ability, Draymond Green is not played, and the tactics that the Warriors can play are quite monotonous.
Thompson Su Chen didn't let him run tactics either, Thompson was more of a diversion in the past three minutes, and his physical strength Su Chen also planned to save it to use with Curry on the court.
During this time, it was almost all about making balls for David Lee.
Mid-range shots after blocking, cutting under the basket after blocking, and throwing shots after opening......
Su Chen asked David Lee to finish like this, and he didn't give him any singles tactics at all.
But even so, David Lee was quite inefficient against Duncan's defense.
In fact, the Warriors under Mark Jackson's coaching, David Lee, who has a single play, are even more inefficient.
This is already the way to make David Lee relatively efficient.
For the Warriors, these three minutes, although they were not overturned by a wave, the lead was eaten away little by little.
Slowly, the 7-point difference was caught up.
Spurs 88:88 Warriors.
Su Chen glanced at the time, it was not yet three minutes.
Su Chen didn't call a pause and continued to watch.
Spurs 90:88 Warriors.
Su Chen was still unmoved, just watched.
Even three minutes had passed, and Su Chen continued to watch when he saw that the defense had been down for a round.
Spurs 93:88 Warriors.
Until another offensive and defensive round was lost.
Su Chen glanced at the time, and three and a half minutes had passed.
It was half a minute more than the three-minute break he told Curry.
Honk!
Su Chen called a long timeout.
The Spurs side of the squad were excited, going from trailing by seven points to leading by five points.
They played a 12-point scoreline.
Popovich was satisfied with the performance of his players.
The Warriors' defense is indeed adequate, but the scoring drought on the offensive end is also within Popovich's calculations.
Klay Thompson has been heavily guarded by Popovich, and the remaining David Lee can't make a splash because Duncan, the all-time number one forward, is in the lineup.
On the Warriors' side, they were a little silent.
Whether it's the players on the pitch or the players sitting on the bench, you can see the look of loss on their faces at this time.
was beaten 18-6, and the Warriors' spirit was somewhat lost, and they completely felt the difference in strength with an old strong team like the Spurs.
On the surface, it was a 5-point difference, but if it wasn't for Su Chen calling this timeout, the difference would soon become double digits.
The momentum is already on the Spurs' side.
Seeing this scene, Su Chen couldn't help frowning.
This is no longer a matter of 5 points, and it is not even a problem that Curry can't get up and play, and Curry can't be brought to such a state.
Su Chen couldn't help but think of the speech of Pelicans coach Willy Green nine years later, which led the Pelicans to turn the Clippers into the playoffs.
If there is a ranking of chicken soup, it is actually the top chicken soup.
"Guys."
Su Chen directly threw away the tactical board and clapped his hands.
The Warriors players were attracted by Su Chen's move and looked at Su Chen one after another.
"The game is at a critical point, we are only five points behind, and there are more than eight minutes left in the game to cheer up, we fight for this moment, fight for this moment."
“OK? We can't give up, we can't give up. ”
"You go to fight! Fight! Go to fight! ”
Speaking of the back, Su Chen was already talking in an angry way.
Although this passage was said by Willy Green later, Su Chen, who is the coach of this Warriors team at this moment, also has empathy.
Today's Warriors, including Curry, Thompson, and Barnes, are still young players.
It's similar to the Pelicans, which are full of young people.
Seeing these young players in confusion, Su Chen had a sense of eagerness to wake up these young players.
Perhaps it was at this moment that Su Chen's mentality really evolved from the previous tactical commentator to a real basketball head coach.
The head coach is not just about arranging tactics, you have to wake up the player when he is confused, you have to scold the player when he is fluttering, you have to encourage the player when he is in a downturn, the head coach is the real backbone of a team many times, and the responsibility is huge.
The photographer on the sidelines also recorded Su Chen's speech throughout the whole process.
Because Su Chen was emotional, and he also made the move of throwing the tactical board on the ground, the director also cut the camera to the Warriors' bench.
So the audience under the live broadcast in the United States saw this speech through the screen.
Also after hearing Su Chen's speech, the young players of the Warriors raised their heads one after another, and their eyes swept away the loss just now.
Even a veteran like Richard Jefferson was enthusiastic when he heard it, and he couldn't wait to go up and overturn the Spurs team by himself now.
Curry also felt his blood boiling at this time, and even the impact of the original consumption was reduced, as if excitement suppressed exhaustion.
In fact, Su Chen secretly used a physical energy drink for Curry.
The pause will end soon.
Su Chen gathered everyone together, fists up, and cheered together.
Although this pause almost did not set up new tactics, Su Chen felt that it was far more important to awaken the emotions of these young people than to arrange a tactic.
Popovich looked surprised to see Curry back on the court.
But soon Popovich regained his composure.
In Popovich's opinion, Su Chen was just fighting the trapped beast.
Can the exhausted Curry lead the Warriors to a comeback?
Popovich had confidence in his eyes, even after falling behind from the second and third quarters.
Because it's all going according to what he envisioned.
On the surface, this is a 5-point difference, but in fact, it is a gap that the Warriors cannot overcome!
