start with scouting

Chapter 36
As Su Yang predicted, after the timeout, the game turned into a hard fight.

The Spurs don't want to lose in the home opener, let alone a wonderful night to receive the championship ring, while the Blazers want to seize the opportunity to prove their strength and get on track from the bottom of the year. The defending champion is an excellent opponent.

The Spurs' style of play is sophisticated and steady, with smooth coordination between offense and defense, while the Blazers' style of play is sharp and wild, with overflowing talent between offense and defense.The Spurs can't overwhelm the Blazers, and the Blazers can't overwhelm the Spurs. The two teams come and go, leading alternately.

Su Yang kept shouting reminders from the sidelines, and when the halftime game was over, his throat felt as if it was going to smoke.

McMillan reminded him of all the excitement, but joined in the second half with more excitement than he did.

Someone from the two teams will always stand up and take up the heavy responsibility of scoring. The game hits the middle of the fourth quarter, and the situation is still inextricably linked.The referee enlarged the whistle scale, and the intensity of the competition quickly became the playoff level, but the point difference was always hovering around 2 points.

Perhaps because he felt it was risky, Popovich deliberately arranged several tactics, and Su Yang thought hard to deal with it.

In this way, the anxious score was maintained until the end of the game.

Beep!The referee blows his whistle and the basketball slams out of bounds.

The Blazers players raised their fingers to the backcourt, and the Spurs players pointed their fingers to the frontcourt. Both sides thought it was their own possession of the ball.

The referee raised his hand to signal the frontcourt ball and gave the Spurs a chance to hit the baseline. Cheers erupted in the ATT Center.

此时，比赛还剩1分39秒结束，开拓者以97比98落后马刺1分。

Su Yang watched the Spurs players take their positions closely. He caught a glimpse of Popovich standing up and gesticulating, as if he was about to set up a strategy. He hurriedly stepped forward, trying to see more clearly, but the Spurs assistant blocked Popovich, and he couldn't do anything. can not see.

Su Yang had no choice but to turn his head to observe the situation on the court, and found that the Spurs' diamond tactics' formation was out of place.

The so-called diamond tactic is that one stands under the basket, one stands on the left waist, one stands on the right waist, and one stands in the middle of the free throw line. The four of them are connected like a jewel. There are many changes in the pick-and-roll, and it is easy to shoot. Chance.

Looking at the five Spurs players, apart from Manu Ginobili replacing Oberto, the rest are all starters.

Su Yang thought for a moment, and shouted to the court: "Don't let them take three-pointers easily..."

As soon as the voice fell, the referee blew his whistle to count down.

I saw Duncan slanted up from the left waist, set up a human wall at the free throw line, and blocked Przybilla firmly, while Oberto took the opportunity to start, rushed to the left wing position, turned and bent, and raised his hand to catch it. Finley pass out of bounds.

Oberto held the basketball firmly, turned around and passed to Parker at the top of the arc, and then ran to set up a human wall as a cover.At the same time, Duncan set up a human wall on the right waist as a cover, and Ginobili took the opportunity to step and start, and mentioned the 45-degree third line on the right.

Parker bowed to hold the ball, did not move for a long time, then suddenly started to sprint to the left, but failed to get rid of Jack.

Seeing this situation, Oberto ran to set up a wall for cover again, but Przybilla left room for the cover early.

Jack quickly came out of the screen to try to intercept, Parker did not hesitate to stop and take off, and raised his hand to score two points.

when!The basketball hit the basket and hit the iron, rebounded and flew to the bottom line on the right, and went straight out of bounds.

Seeing that the basketball was about to hit the ground, Ginobili leapt forward, grabbed the ball with both hands and threw it back.

The basketball flew into the field, and the players of the two teams turned their heads to look at it. Parker rushed over first.

Jack followed, and so did Oberto and Przybilla.In the chaos, Parker grabbed the basketball, bent over and kicked on the ground to speed up, and rushed to the left waist with a few steps, but Pulzbilla chased after him and stopped him.

Cheers erupted in the arena, Parker turned around and dribbled the basketball to the sideline, and suddenly took off and made a long pass.

The basketball flew straight to the top of the arc, and Finley caught the ball openly, leaped towards Webster, and shot a three-pointer with a super high arc.

boom!The basketball hits the board and falls.

Four players from the two teams scrambled under the basket in an instant. Pulzbila succeeded unexpectedly and quickly passed it to Roy.

At this time, with 1 minute and 14 seconds left in the game, the Spurs players booed in unison, and Roy slowly brought the ball across the center line.

Su Yang hurriedly signaled to pass the ball first and catch the ball by running without the ball, which would make the shot easier.

But maybe it was because the intensity of the game was too high and the voice was so loud that Roy didn't pay attention, and ran to the three-point line to find the pick-and-roll directly.

Who would have thought that the Spurs players put up a defensive formation in an extremely tacit understanding, easily blocking the possibility of a breakthrough.

Roy hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and threw the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line, and looked for Adelaide with his eyes.

Webster caught the ball and raised it high. Before he could turn around, Duncan let him go around and block in front of Adelaide, trying to interfere with the ball.Ade immediately turned around and ran towards the basket, but Duncan also relied on the hand on his waist to sense the direction and chased him in the same way.

After some tossing, there was not much time left in the attack, and the Blazers did not establish a good shot opportunity.

Su Yang hurriedly reminded to pass the ball back, Webster twisted his hips and turned to the right when he heard the sound, and Roy hurried forward to catch the ball.

Finley followed closely. Although he was at a disadvantage in speed, he relied on experience to get stuck in Roy's space and forced him to make a big circle.

Roy sensed that there was a fraud, he stopped in his crotch and changed hands, and then retreated to widen the distance, changing hands and shaking continuously in his crotch.

Finley continued to change his footsteps to respond, Roy suddenly jumped up and shot a three-pointer, and the basketball roared and flew to the basket.

when!The basketball bounced off the hoop.

Ginobili jumped, grabbed the backboard with both hands, landed and ran forward with all his strength.

In three seconds, Ginobili rushed to the left sideline of the frontcourt and stopped in the roar of Popovich.

Parker stepped forward to catch the ball, slowly brought it to the top of the arc, and raised his hand to call for a 1-high and 4-low formation.

The offensive time passed quickly, and with 12 seconds left, Duncan mentioned that the wall at the top of the arc blocked Jack.

Parker took the opportunity to start to the left, but Jack stepped forward to grab the body, without giving any room for a breakthrough.

Parker hurriedly pulled the ball back, turned around and threw the ball to the right 45-degree three-point line, where Duncan just cut outside.

Adelaide hastily set up a defensive stance. He never thought that Duncan's devil form reappeared, just like in his peak period, directly sinking his shoulders and lowering his center of gravity, followed by stepping forward with a strong shot, rushing to the right waist in the blink of an eye, like a point guard.

But Duncan's speed is not as good as before. Ade chased after a few strides, but still blocked the way to the basket.

Duncan stopped suddenly and changed hands behind his back, took advantage of the situation and hit sideways with his shoulders, getting rid of Adelaide and rushing into the paint area.

Jack subconsciously retracted the double-team, but Duncan stopped abruptly and raised his hand and shook his wrist. The basketball went straight to the three-point line.

Parker received the ball in an open position, bent his knees and jumped up, facing Jack back to defend against the flying dive, and made a confident mid-range shot.

bang bang!The basketball hit the circle and spun out of the basket.

Sighs erupted in the arena, and Pulzbilla grabbed the rebound with his back turned and looked at the coach's bench.

At this time, with 31 seconds left in the game, McMillan subconsciously wanted to ask for a timeout, but Su Yang hurriedly suggested not to call.

After all, the Spurs are in an offensive and defensive transition at the moment, and they are prone to defensive loopholes, calling a timeout to help.

After being reminded by him, McMillan seemed to realize the reason, and quickly put down the hand that was about to be raised.

On the field, Roy received the ball on the right wing, and after observing for a long time, he cooperated with Przybilla in a pick-and-roll.

The Spurs had no switches, no delays, no double-teams, and no weak-side help.

Oberto stayed at the free throw line and waited in the hole, and Parker also stood at the top of the arc and watched silently, leaving a lot of space.

Roy decisively stopped and took off, and confidently shot a long two-pointer, and the basketball crashed into the net with a bang.

The boos stopped abruptly, the Blazers overtook the Spurs 99 to 98, and the game ended with 9.4 seconds left.

The referee's whistle blew, the Spurs requested a timeout, and the Blazers bench cheered wildly.

Su Yang suppressed his excitement and applauded calmly, then got up and walked towards Roy and the others.

McMillan gave a passionate speech, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of defense at the last moment, especially the three-pointer.

While listening, Su Yang looked towards the Spurs, trying to see if he could find out what tactics the opponent was playing.

It's a pity that the Spurs surrounded Popovich and couldn't see anything, so they could only guess at that time.

In a blink of an eye, McMillan finished emphasizing, turned his head to look at Su Yang, and asked if he had any suggestions.

"As long as they get the ball inside, they must double-team!" Su Yang didn't know how the Spurs would run. It would probably be too late for the Spurs to direct, so he could only let the players keep in mind the core rules. After all, the probability of hitting three-pointers is lower, even before Ginobili crazy.

Roy and the others nodded to express their understanding, McMillan emphasized a few more words, and the whistle sounded for the end of the pause.

The Spurs made adjustments, Brent Barry came on to replace Oberto, and Duncan switched to center.

Su Yang observed with his hands on his hips, and found that the Spurs were still in the gem formation, only changing to the sideline.

Beep!The referee blows his whistle to count down.

Parker immediately went down from the top of the arc and set up a wall on the right waist, while Duncan took the opportunity to lift up to the top of the arc.

Barry quickly passed the ball out of bounds on the left side, and Duncan immediately turned to the right after receiving it, lowering his center of gravity and rushing to the right wing position.At this time, Ginobili also used Parker to cover and cut from the outside of the paint to the right wing, and the two could cooperate in a small area.

"Pay attention to the bottom line..." Seeing Ginobili's intention to run back and make an air cut, Su Yang shouted hastily.

As soon as the words fell, Ginobili stopped and rushed to Duncan quickly, ready to cover with hands.

Roy chased close to him, didn't give him a chance to catch the ball, and there was a possibility of stealing it. Duncan could only raise the ball with both hands to avoid it.

Ginobili suddenly turned around and ran to the inside, trying to play a pass and cut cooperation, but Roy never lost his position.

Seeing that his teammates had no chance to run, Barry rushed to the right 45 degrees after serving the ball, but Duncan turned around and saw him, immediately passed the ball to him, and stepped forward to cover. Create space directly.

Webster was delayed by Duncan, and it was too late to catch up, and he was abruptly pulled away.

Seeing this, Su Yang shouted: "Foul..."

The Blazers still have a number of fouls. As long as the fouls are successful in advance, the Spurs' offensive time can be compressed.

But the sound spread into the arena and flew into Ade's ears, and it took a long time for Ade to react.

With cheers all over the court, Barry rushed to the right waist with the ball, took off in front of Pulzbilla, and made a backward shot.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

The Spurs overtook 100 to 99, with 1.7 seconds left before the end of the game, cheers burst in the arena.

McMillan raised his hand to ask for a timeout, then turned around and handed the tactical board to Su Yang, and said with a smile: "Come on! Let the fans see your coaching talent, let us win this game, and let us make an announcement to the entire league !"

Su Yang took a deep breath, nodded solemnly, and dozens of tactics flashed through his mind.

Roy and others walked towards Su Yang following McMillan's gestures. Su Yang was still thinking quickly about what tactics to deploy.

With only 1.7 seconds left, 2 points can win the game. According to the current resources of the Blazers, mid-range shots and lobs are the best choices, but Outlaw has less time to play, and only Roy can perform mid-range shots. If you want to go, you have to gamble.

"After the timeout is over, Blake, Roy, Outlaw, Aldridge, Frye, you five come on the field. We play a WTF tactic, Outlaw prepares at the top of the arc, and waits for Aldridge to catch the ball After that, you roll on Frye, and you run as fast as you want, and you get the game-winner with an alley-oop dunk, okay?"

Outlaw nodded again and again, and Su Yang continued: "It was a routine just now, let's talk about another..."

During the detailed explanation, the whistle sounded at the end of the timeout, and the players of the two teams entered the field and took their positions.

Su Yang was nervous and excited, standing on the sidelines with his hands on his hips, scanning the Spurs' half-court tactics one after another.

Suddenly, Popovich waved his hand, while Duncan and Ginobili looked left and right, and the Spurs changed their defensive formation accordingly.

"The space for cutting inside to attack the basket is blocked..." Seeing the Spurs change their defensive formation, Su Yang realized that the tactics had been seen through by Popovich. WTF, an old-school classic tactic, was indeed a bit of a problem to use in front of Popovich. hold big.

After making up his mind, Su Yang raised his hand to signal to the referee, and asked for a timeout under the surprised eyes of McMillan and others.

The referee blew the whistle to stop the game, and Roy and others walked towards Su Yang with doubts on their faces, and the anxiety in their eyes increased greatly.

Su Yang raised his hand to imitate the conductor of the orchestra, pressed down again and again to signal, pretended to be calm and said: "Relax, the tactic just arranged was seen through by the opponent, let's change a tactic, this time Outlaw directly cuts from the paint area...

Specifically, Outlaw and Aldridge stood on the right side of the free throw line, and Frye and Roy stood at the bottom line of the basket. After the whistle sounded, Roy rushed to the top of the arc from the middle, and Frye rushed to the bottom from the side. Corner, that leaves space under the basket.

At that point, Blake lobs the ball to the rim, Outlaw uses Aldridge to cover the cut…”

In 20 seconds, Su Yang quickly repeated twice to ensure that all the pioneers could hear clearly.

The whistle at the end of the timeout sounded again, and the players of the two teams entered their positions, and the Spurs fans booed wildly.

Su Yang's nervousness and excitement were swept away, and he watched the Spurs' half-court defense closely.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, Duncan seemed to guess that Outlaw would use the cover to make an air cut, and actually opened the distance in advance.

Seeing this situation, Su Yang's brain was about to explode, but he didn't dare to take the risk, so he raised his hand for the third time to ask for a timeout.

The referee blew his whistle emotionlessly, and the Spurs fans celebrated wildly and yelled at Su Yang.

All kinds of words, mocking, insulting, and racially discriminatory, flew towards Su Yang in succession.

Su Yang turned a deaf ear, walked straight into the field, stood in front of Roy and the five, and said with a smile: "This time we play mid-range shots, and the position is the same as before, but Outlaw's air-cut dunk is used as a bait. Roy reverse screens..."

In 20 seconds, Su Yang quickly completed the layout and explained two alternative options.

The previous two obsessions with lobs made it easy for Popovich to predict, and now he will use lobs for dunks.

Immediately after the sound of the whistle, the players of the two teams entered and took their positions, and the Spurs fans at the scene stood up and watched.

Roy and Frye stood at the basket together, Alder and Outlaw stood at the free throw line together, and Blake waited out of bounds on the right wing.

Beep!The referee blows his whistle.

Frye immediately started and ran to the bottom corner on the right, while Roy used Alder's cover to go straight to the top of the arc.

The Spurs chased after each other, the basket suddenly emptied, and Outlaw immediately started to rush to the basket.

Duncan immediately contracted and delayed, but Ade moved laterally to the right at the same time, and Roy ran back from the top of the arc to delay Oberto.

In an instant, Adelaide was unguarded. He raised his hand to receive the pass from Blake, turned around after taking advantage of the trend, and stood up.

when!The basketball hit the hoop and bounced twice before falling into the net.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game at the same time, and Aldridge made a shot to kill the Spurs.

Su Yang raised his hands high and shouted loudly, more excited than Ade who hit the lore.

After all, calling three timeouts in a row, competing with Popovich in the air, a thrilling lore!

　Ask for a ticket!
