Chapter 30: Popovich's Demolition Move
Popovich's brain was racing.
At the same time, when the timeout was called, the assistant coach immediately took out the video of the round just now.
Even now, Popovich is still looking for a strategy after calling a timeout.
However, Popovich is worthy of being a historical coach, and even in such a tense situation now, he still came up with a coping strategy in the face of a ban tactic that was ahead of his time.
Popovich was nervously arranging defensive tactics.
As for the offensive tactics, Popovich did not arrange any complicated tactics, they had to score a goal as soon as possible, otherwise they would not have the opportunity to play the last defense.
At this point, tactics don't matter, and Spurs need to test their stars.
Pause back.
The Spurs served directly and quickly, because he thought that the Spurs would attack, so Su Chen also chose to keep an eye on the GDP three.
Parker, who received a long pass from Ginobili, got the ball and chose to advance quickly, but as soon as he entered the three-point line, he was directly caught by Thompson and Curry.
Because Parker has rushed into the interior too many times tonight and scored difficult goals, Su Chen doesn't want Parker to rush to the basket.
And with Duncan's follow-up, Parker rushed into the basket, and the connection between Parker and Duncan was also more troublesome.
The Spurs wanted to seize the time to attack, and Parker directly chose to divide the ball.
Dumped at Leonard, who drew the defense and threw it to Danny Green, who was ambushed in the bottom corner.
Danny Green's three-point shot tonight is relatively iron, but Danny Green shot this key shot very resolutely.
Brush!
Danny Green, who was iron-clad, hit the three-point shot to save the Spurs at such a critical moment.
Spurs 110: 112 Warriors.
Danny Green threw his arms up and showed what he was capable of.
There are still 27 seconds left on the field.
Su Chen didn't call a timeout.
Danny Green's three-pointer, although not deliberate, must be prepared for others to score.
But he's ready for Spurs to score, and he's ready to make the final touch.
Now calling a timeout is purely for Popovich.
No matter how good Popovich is, it won't be easy to crack it in one timeout, but two timeouts may be a bit of a chance.
At 28 seconds, the Spurs did not choose to foul.
It's about pressing and defending, trying to make tackles.
Su Chen didn't intend to drag off 28 seconds, with such a high-intensity defense, with the Warriors' current physical reserves, it was easy to make mistakes.
Because it's this kind of win-loss ball, even if the Spurs' action is bigger, the referee won't blow it.
Danny Green and Leonard, in particular, are both good at pressing steals.
Even if it was really successful, the Spurs still had time to attack, giving the Spurs a chance to kill the ball.
Su Chen still decided to play a steady tactic.
Before Curry dribbled past half the court, Su Chen shouted at Curry.
Curry also made a gesture to direct the traffic, and then gave the ball to Thompson.
The Warriors immediately laid out the same formation as they had been in the last round.
"If you want to replicate the tactics of the previous round, Popovich must be ready to deal with it."
Barkley said nervously.
At the same time, after Thompson dragged down the time a little, Curry also began to run tactics.
This time, it was Leonard who led the defense of Curry.
Curry repeated his old trick, blocking and dismantling around the baseline and cutting under the basket.
Before he could get under the basket, Curry was running around the door of the elevator door again.
Leonard had worked hard and predicted it, but the two inside bodies were too big to block him.
The current rules are still too small for such a blocking and dismantling penalty force.
Seeing that Leonard still didn't follow, Duncan immediately bypassed Bogut and chased directly after Curry.
This is what Popovich just arranged, or let Leonard chase first, and if he really can't catch up, let Duncan switch defenses.
However, Su Chen had already made arrangements, and after Duncan bypassed Bogut, Bogut cut directly into it.
Although Leonard has a pair of long arms, Bogut's 2.13-meter physique and 260-pound body attack by eating bread under the basket, and Leonard, who is 2.01 meters, still struggles.
After Danny Green saw it in the bottom corner, he had no choice but to give up the defender.
He and Leonard blocked the basket directly, and Bogut was able to carry them to play difficult balls.
Despite missing a three-pointer from the bottom corner, Popovich's defensive strategy is still inclined to defend against the basket.
With the first two defensive errors in the first two steps, choosing to let Richard Jefferson shoot this three-pointer instead of letting Thompson and Curry shoot was already a relatively acceptable option for Popovich.
Thompson didn't pass to Bogut at the first time, he listened to Su Chen's arrangement, and always kept an eye on Danny Green's defensive position.
After seeing that Danny Green had run to the basket and determined that it was not a fake defense, Thompson gave the ball to Richard Jefferson.
Richard Jefferson was in the bottom corner and comfortably received the ball.
The entire arena of fans, spectators, spotlights, cameras was all focused on Richard Jefferson.
But Richard Jefferson didn't have any stage fright, steadied for a moment, and then shot out with the shooting rhythm he was most familiar with.
