Chapter 717 It's okay to play

After the speech, the atmosphere of the whole team improved slightly.

But after all, after falling behind 0 to 3, there has never been a comeback case in NBA history, and the kings still can't completely relax.

Seeing this, Su Yang didn't say much, and immediately announced: "Tomorrow's joint training will be cancelled, and everyone should not conduct individual training. Let your mind be empty first, and relieve the depression of being beaten continuously. There is no problem with our style of play. We You can do it the day after tomorrow!"

Brother Antetokounmpo and others nodded one after another, and the whole team surrounded them as usual, fisting shoulder to shoulder, shouting in unison 123 King Come on.

Early the next morning, Su Yang ran to the training base by himself.

As imagined, Mike Brandon's assistant coach was also there, and West also deliberately returned from vacation early. The entire coaching staff got together and studied the video of the third game as usual. It was Su Yang's previous idea: don't Play reasonable basketball.

After watching the video analysis for more than half an hour, Mike Brown frowned for a moment and said: "I have to say it, I don't think there is a problem with our style of play, but that the Spurs played too well. State, Aldridge is overflowing with confidence, no hesitation at all, the Spurs team seems to be enchanted, and there is a promotion..."

"The last time I saw Leonard's performance in the playoffs was when the Bulls beat the Lakers in the 91 Finals..." Di Brown had an incredible expression on his face, "Leonard played more in this series than in the first round. Well, like a high-end robot."

Everyone in the coaching staff spoke one after another.

Su Yang finally concluded: "So, for tomorrow night's game, we must first keep the players calm and don't collapse."

At the same time as the meeting, the outside world's heated discussions about the Kings and Spurs series have continued to dominate the rankings for almost [-] hours.

Different from the previous proposals of Bill Simmons and Pippen, a large number of so-called neutral fans emerged, mocking Su Yang for not coaching without a superstar, mocking Curry for not winning without a strong striker, and claiming that the era of Kings is over. Finish.

In the interviews, the local fans in Saskatchewan were very understanding. Most of them pointed out that the team suffered serious injuries. Even if they were swept 0-4, it had nothing to do with Su Yang or any other players. After all, injuries were unavoidable. We can only say Bad luck.

Some fans also pointed out that the king still has hope,

The main reason is that the Spurs have no more moves available, and Curry is recovering better, and another day of rest will definitely improve.

In a blink of an eye, number five,

The fourth game of the second round of the playoffs between the Kings and the Spurs was played at the Golden One Center in Saskatchewan, and the seats were still full.

After the appearance ceremony was completed, the lights were turned on.

Banners supporting the Kings were unfurled from all sides of the arena, and more than 8000 people cheered in unison.

Su Yang's eyes were moist in an instant, and he hurriedly called the whole team to surround him, emphasizing the strategy arranged before the game again: charge up and switch.

It sounds simple, but it is actually quite difficult, especially since Curry has just returned from injury, and the Spurs also have a lot of defensive resources.

Fortunately, the enthusiastic support of the fans has obviously brought a lot of encouragement to the Kings, and Antetokounmpo is ready to go.

Of course, playing fast is just a general strategy.

The specific strategy is to choke the passing route, and would rather be killed by Leonard than let the Spurs easily transfer the ball.

A long whistle followed.

The starting players of the two teams entered the position, and the Spurs made a change. It was Parker who replaced Mills, as if they wanted to seek stability.

In the TNT live broadcast seat, Reggie Miller slightly raised his eyebrows: "I don't know why, the Spurs' starting point guard changed from substitute Mills to the original starter Parker, which reminded me of the 09 Finals. After Nelson came back, he replaced Alston's starting point guard. .”

Isiah Thomas smiled: "I understand what you want to say, but that's Popovich, not Stan Van Gundy."

Miller shrugged: "I hope so."

During the conversation, the starting lineup of the two teams all stood still.

The Spurs, Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, Aldridge, Gasol.

On the king's side, Curry, LaVine, Tatum, Antetokounmpo, Daluo.

The announcer announces the jump ball loudly.

The cheers exploded at the same time, the Spurs won the jump ball, the starting hand was routinely shifted from strong to weak, and after a high pick-and-roll, it was handed over to Leonard who was raised to the top of the arc, and then Gasol continued to move up to cover, while the Kings, Lopez As laid out, stay in the paint area.

Leonard made a strong charge and found that there was no possibility. He hurriedly stopped and turned around to pass the ball to Gasol. However, the attack time was running out. Danny Green rushed forward, took over the pass, and cut into the inside , gliding for a layup and throwing the ball to hit the board.

Basketball clangs like iron.

The inside line immediately scrambled, and the basketball was forced to fly to the three-point line. Curry took the opportunity to bend down to pick it up, then got up and made a long pass to the right side of the frontcourt, and Antetokounmpo received the ball like a beast, and directly fused the ball inside the three-point line. Rush to the basket, causing Leonard's defensive foul.

The referee whistled for two free throws.

The audience behind the basket immediately applauded and cheered, and the yellow inflatable sticks in their hands rang bang bang, and the atmosphere immediately lifted.

Watching Antetokounmpo go to the free throw line, Su Yang sat down and complained casually: "The Spurs don't seem to want to give us a chance, they actually arranged for Leonard to chase Giannis all over the court. Although Aldridge really couldn't catch up, but that It's too hard."

Mike Brown chuckled: "Respect! That's the greatest respect Bobo has for you. He knows you won't give up. He has played against you too many times. Any mistake by his Spurs may lead to loss, so he arranged for a more experienced Parker comes in and dominates the game..."

Su Yangxin said that this is to kill me.

Between emotions, Antetokounmpo made the first free throw, but fortunately he made the second free throw, and the Spurs immediately kicked off from the backcourt to attack.

Parker quickly took the ball across the center line, passing it to Gasol who was stuck behind him at the 45-degree three-point line on the right, and then strode into the inside line, but suddenly turned back and ran to the top of the arc, looking like he was about to slant Passing through the paint to make a strong and weak transfer, in fact, cooperate with Leonard who ran over with the help of a screen to cross screens. It is an improved version of the triangle offense split, but the Kings defense is not chaotic.

Leonard failed to make an inside cut. Parker immediately received the ball again at the top of the arc, moved to the left 45-degree three-point line, and cooperated with Alder in a pick-and-roll. Facing the King's Dorp coverage defensive strategy, he suddenly raised his hand and hit the ball. Ground pocket pass.

Adelaide received the ball from the left elbow area, raised his hand to make an iconic straight-arm jumper, and the basketball went into the net hollowly, with beautiful movements throughout.

Su Yang raised his eyebrows straightly, thinking that Adelaide's mid-range shot is too abnormal, but fortunately, the routine is relatively fixed, unlike Nowitzki who does everything.

The king is on the field.

Curry lobbed a pass to the left waist, Daluo caught the ball with his back and made a strong attack, making a signature forward turn, but saw Leonard shrinking double-team, hurriedly raised his hand and threw the ball to the right wing, and Curry After catching the ball and raising his hand to shoot, it was a pity that he failed to hit Leonard who flew back to the defense.

At that moment, Leonard's defensive attributes were full.

Can double-team quickly, can return to defense quickly, and doesn't f***ing.

Curry's thoughts flashed, thinking of what Su Yang said before the game: Everyone, don't hold the ball against Leonard at will.Immediately moved to the right along the sideline, and with the help of Antetokounmpo, he was misplaced against Ade, who was changing defenses.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

"Shredded coconut!"

Su Yang jumped up and punched and shouted, thinking that as long as Curry starts off well enough, he may force the Spurs to change their defensive strategy, and the chances of the Spurs making mistakes will be greater. As long as the King can seize those opportunities, they will be able to play better. win this game.

Offensive and defensive transitions on the field.

Parker dribbled the ball to the right at 45 degrees, and directly used the cover of Alder to try to break through, while Antetokounmpo decisively stepped up to grab a big delay, but it was not so much to double-team, but more to prevent Parker's potential pass, after all Parker is the least threatening Spurs.

But who ever thought that Parker shot the ball in an instant.

Ade, who disassembled and turned inside, received the ball, faced the right corner to defend LaVine and took off, and confidently threw a throw.

The basketball slammed, the Kings grabbed a rebound and counterattacked, and Curry dribbled the ball to the three-point line in the frontcourt, making an emergency stop and snapping a shot.

It's also like hitting the iron, but Su Yang applauds and cheers. As long as Curry dares to vote, it means that he is in good condition and there is no need to worry.

Here the Spurs counterattacked, Gasol covered Leonard and then caught the ball for a layup. He was a little hasty and didn't control his hand shape.

The basketball hit the rim and fell, Daluo received the rebound and immediately passed it to Curry. The Kings team suddenly launched a fast break counterattack.

Cheers erupted in the arena. Antetokounmpo received a long pass from the left elbow of the frontcourt and jumped against Leonard and Adelaide.

It's a pity that two points is a bit too big, and the basketball is like a strike. For Antetokounmpo, it is a low-level mistake.

In fact, it is completely possible to stabilize or continue to rush to the basket, but under the premise of playing fast, it is not so easy to switch freely.

Su Yang also applauded and gave support, and Antetokounmpo quickly returned to defense and successfully prevented Leonard from rushing to the basket for a layup.

After a lot of tossing on the Spurs side, Gasol made a layup again. It seems that the peak state before that has not yet appeared.

The King got the rebound and counterattacked. Curry ran across the center line with the ball and suddenly raised his hand for a long pass. Tatum, who made a sudden stop and ran back, happened to catch the ball under the basket, took off and released the basket, but encountered Green and Leonard. The two attacked back and forth, and Chi Chi smashed baskets and irons as close as they could get.

The Spurs took the ball and counterattacked again, and continued to hand it over to Gasol to play in the low post. Da Luo suddenly walked forward and slapped the racket away.

In a hurry, Gasol picked up the basketball and turned over and shot a jumper, but he still hit the iron, and the strength was obviously too small.

LaVine rushed to get the rebound, turned around and made a long pass to the center line. Antetokounmpo caught the ball like a mad dragon sailing out to sea, and in the blink of an eye, he reached the edge of the reasonable collision zone in the frontcourt. He raised the ball around the top of Europe and stepped past Parker, who was trying to create an offense, and kicked the ground vigorously Take off, bang dunk.

The basketball explodes into the net,

After the two teams fought for four consecutive rounds, the king finally took the lead in attacking. The intensity of offense and defense made the audience forget to shout.

"Get better, get better!"

Su Yang feels that something familiar is back. Brother Antetokounmpo can take the European step calmly, which shows that he has found his state from the chaos at the beginning. The defense did not make a mistake in this round.

On the contrary, the Spurs played in a bit of a hurry, as if they wanted to quickly establish the victory. They were not in the excited and calm ZONE state at all. It may have been given by the king's strategy of preferring to miss the big man and pass the ball. Make uncomfortable.

While thinking about it, the Spurs Green hit the iron, and the Kings launched a counterattack, but Curry made a long pass error and the ball was switched.

But the Spurs still didn't score. Leonard shook for a while and rushed to the basket for a layup.

The Kings got the rebound, but the fast break failed. Curry dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and passed it to LaVine, who was raised with the help of Daluo's cover. Immediately hit the ball to the ground and split again, Da Luo took the ball down and kicked back.

The basketball exploded into the net, and the Kings led 8-2. The referee's whistle sounded simultaneously, and the Spurs requested a timeout.

There were cheers everywhere.

In the TNT live broadcast, Miller smiled and said: "Popovich didn't want to give Su Yang any chance of a possible comeback, but the strategy adopted by the Kings at the beginning of the night did successfully limit the Spurs' offense. Of course, the Spurs themselves are a bit messed up. They seem Can't wait..."

Thomas nodded: "Their wide-ranging ball transfer tactics disappeared, and they played three high and low pick-and-rolls in a row."
