Chapter 719 Every Year Has Today (The Deacon Adds More)
The short pause is over soon.
Maybe it's willful, maybe there's a way, the Spurs are going up and down, a typical Popovich-style operation.
Mills replaced Parker, Ginobili replaced Green, Kyle Anderson replaced Leonard, and Gay replaced Gasol.
Adelaide changed to center, maybe because Popovich felt that only the performance was good enough, or maybe the Spurs wanted to speed up.
"If you really want to speed up, then I like it..."
Su Yang thought for a moment to make up his mind, then turned his head towards Nance, motioned to go to the technical stage to prepare for his debut, and at the same time reminded LaVine to defend against Mills, and asked Curry to defend against Ginobili, who was about to retire. It can be regarded as reducing Curry's confrontation a little.
The Spurs kicked off the offense on the court.
It is customary for the Kings to defend a full court first to avoid fast breaks.
Mills took the ball, lowered his shoulders, lowered his center of gravity and accelerated, but he couldn't get rid of LaVine. He was forced to stop and turn around at the center line, otherwise he would face the risk of going out of bounds, but he didn't expect to hit the ball on his feet in a panic. LaVine Taking advantage of the chaos to steal, he went straight to the basket.
Mills immediately ran after him.
But his speed is not as fast as the old man Ginobili. I saw Ginobili took advantage of LaVine's ball and took off, raised his hand and slapped LaVine's arm vigorously, made a decisive tactical foul to stop the attack, and then hugged LaVine tightly. Wen, to prevent LaVine from standing unsteadily and falling.
It looks like a gentleman, but that action is really dangerous.
It's a bit like when Pierce intercepted LeBron, causing LeBron to quarrel with his mother, and then Garnett taught him that.
The referee whistled and gave LaVine two free throws.
LaVine gritted his teeth and touched the red and swollen area of his upper arm, and shook it enough to stand on the free throw line, cheers erupted in the arena.
Taking advantage of free throws, Su Yang removed Tatum and Lopez, replaced Covington and Nance Jr., and prepared to strengthen the defense.
The Spurs' bench lineup looks pretty average, but their ability to chase points and defensive oppression are quite strong. They have suffered losses in the previous three games and must not be underestimated, especially Ginobili's game reading. There are still a few minutes.
While thinking about it, Su Yang waved Curry to the sidelines, raised his hand to cover his mouth and said in a low voice, "We must target Ginobili on the offensive end and try to beat him down, and we must pay more attention to Ginobili on the defensive end. Billy's breakthrough, don't think he's too old."
In Su Yang's view, Popovich would rather use Ginobili, who is worse defensively, than George Hill. The only reason is to let Ginobili lead the Spurs to find the rhythm, and don't let Leonard Gasol appear again. Leonard made 5 of 1 shots and Leonard made 3 of 0 shots.
Curry nodded to express his understanding, then returned to the court and relayed it to Covington verbatim to prepare in advance.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, LaVine made two free throws.
The Kings lead 17 to 4.
The Spurs re-opened the attack, still the old routine, the big man at the top of the arc responded, shifted hands from strong to weak, fiddled with a large circle, and chose to hand the ball to Gino to deal with it proportionally, while the Kings were already prepared, with the pick-and-roll going around the screen, Give it to ICE if you walk the sideline.
All of a sudden, Ginobili encountered the same trouble that Leonard had nowhere to go, and chose to stop the ball in a hurry to find someone.
Taking great risks to pass the ball to the opposite right wing, the movement is very slow, the intention is obvious, and Nance Jr. in the center raises his hand to steal you.
The Spurs came back from a timeout, and the Kings made two consecutive steals.
The arena burst into cheers.
I saw Antetokounmpo rushing with the ball, like a Mazda accelerating at full speed, killing the center line in two seconds, almost like a triple jump, starting early with the ball, carrying the Spurs and defending with three people, again offering a European step, and forced to go up basket and successfully draws a foul.
"OMG!"
In the TNT live broadcast seat, Isiah Thomas exclaimed: "I have never seen Giannis' fast break style, only two dribbles in the half-court range, and the defensive players can't adapt to his offensive rhythm at all. I think the Kings Found a way to win!"
Miller shrugged slightly: "In fact, they also played like this, trying their best to be quick, but there was no Curry in the first two games, and Curry just came back in a mediocre state in the third game, and they also met the almost invincible Aldridge and Leonard. , a little less luck."
Cheers erupted in the arena, Antetokounmpo stood on the free throw line, and the first free throw accumulated for a full 10 seconds before he shot, bumping into the net.
The second free throw was hit immediately, and the Kings led 19 to 4, and the situation of the game was a bit one-sided.
The two teams switched offense and defense, and Su Yang clapped his hands to remind the kings to stay focused. The game will last 42 minutes and they have not won yet.
The Spurs start with the horns formation.
Ginobili ran a cross-cut shot from Iverson, received the pass on the left wing, and passed it to Adelaide who was synchronously around the left waist with the help of a screen.The Spurs don't even play their favorite strong and weak transfers, they just want the most stable players to quickly break the scoring shortage.
Because of the previous substitutions, the player who faced Adelaide was Nance Jr., and it was difficult to resist Adelaide's height and weight.
I saw Adelaide turned around and sank to the basket, and forced the basket against Nance Jr.'s defense. Popovich yelled a foul from the sidelines.
The referee did not blow the whistle, the basketball hit the basket and hit the iron, Adelaide tried to make a tip-up but failed, Antetokounmpo dialed the ball to the outside.
Curry, who was facing Manu Ginobili, got the basketball nearby, turned around and went straight to the frontcourt, and passed the ball in a gesture, but actually hesitantly broke through Mills' defense, strode into the paint with a meteor, and threatened Gay's supplementary defense , The signature high throw hits the basket.
boom!The basketball bounces into the net.
Beep!The referee blew his whistle at the same time and called Gay for a foul by the thug.
There was another extra penalty, cheers were everywhere in the arena, Curry stood at the free throw line, and the audience chanted MVP in unison.
With a bang, an additional penalty was hollowed into the net. The Kings led the Spurs 22 to 4. There were 5 minutes and 23 seconds left in the first quarter.
Taking advantage of the additional penalty, Su Yang looked towards the Spurs under the reminder of Mike Brown, and found that Popovich was calling for tactics.
As a level [-] user of the Spurs Post Bar, Su Yang recognized at a glance that it was a zipper series of tactics. The first move was Ginobili using a big man to cover up and catch the ball, but the person holding the ball may not necessarily be able to pass. In the current situation of the Spurs , probably still for Adelaide.
After making up his mind, Su Yang clapped his hands and yelled at Brother Antetokounmpo who was back on defense, and arranged for Brother Antetokounmpo to defend Ade for a round temporarily.
It was originally a duel between power forwards, but it was only when Adelaide changed to a center that he was misplaced. Antetokounmpo can be said to be familiar with the game.
Mills took the ball to the front left wing in a blink of an eye.
As Su Yang predicted, Ginobili used Adelaide to cover and run up to the top of the arc, but it was just a cover for distraction. Mills then passed the ball to Adelaide on the left waist, and Alphabet Brother Su Yang reminded that the card position is very outside.
Ade took the ball with his back and sat hard, and he did everything he could to get Brother Antetokounmpo's card on the line, and decisively turned to the bottom line to take off and hit the board.
The basketball hit the board and bounced into the basket, but it flew out in a circle. The scene suddenly burst into cheers, and Nance Jr. followed up and got the rebound.
The king's counterattack suddenly started, but the Spurs retreated very quickly, so they had to change to the ground. During the conduction, LaVine hit back.
Ginobili, who was in charge of defense, couldn't hold it, LaVine easily turned over and hit a jumper, and the Kings led 24 to 4.
Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that at least this match should be stable, and the next match will go to San Antonio, don't think about it for now.
Between emotions, Covington flew to steal Gay's pass to Adelaide inside, probably because he was too familiar with his teammates.
Curry then received the ball from the center line and advanced, the LOGO position in the frontcourt stopped, and he scored a three-pointer with a raised hand, and went into the net hollowly.
27 to 4, the game situation completely fell to the king.
Popovich didn't call a timeout either. The first quarter ended quickly. The Kings led the Spurs 37 to 15. Except for only 2 fouls, all other statistics led the Spurs. It seemed completely impossible to lose three games in a row before. Understood, it's so weird.
The second quarter kicked off in no time, and the Spurs brought out the almost invincible Aldridge + Leonard combination. The two finally found their form. Together, they made 9 of 8 shots and contributed 14 points with free throws. Parker also made 3 of them. 2, but the Spurs did not have any three-pointers, 2 assists in a single quarter, and the rotation routine of all members did not play out. Although the gap was narrowed by 5 points, it did not help.
The Kings firmly controlled the situation, leading by 18 points after three quarters, and did not give the Spurs any chance in the fourth quarter.
The final whistle sounded, and the Kings defeated the Spurs 106 to 91, catching up to 1 to 3 in the Western Conference semifinals.
Curry played well and scored 29 points, Antetokounmpo scored 28 points, and LaVine, Tatum and Rose scored in double figures. The Kings finally recovered their previous state.Su Yang participated in the press conference and admitted that Brogdon may also come back.
But despite the strong win, most media and fans are still not optimistic that the Kings can reverse the Spurs.
Some people pointed out that the king's victory depends entirely on the home court advantage and the care of the league. Many big fouls were not whistled, and the total turnovers were as high as 18. The Spurs just had a poor shooting touch. It is impossible for Leonard and Green to combine 29 shots in two consecutive games. 10 in.
It was also pointed out that Gay did not play well.
In short, I think that the king's ability to win a game is not the king's own ability, but the alliance's partiality and luck.
Su Yang laughed out loud when he saw the comments, thinking that if that was the case, he hoped that there would be today every year, who would refuse?
That night, the whole team flew to San Antonio overnight, with only one day off, and Brogdon accompanied the team.
The last chapter was wrongly written, and there was a BUG where Cousins appeared.
