Chapter 756
The game continues on the field, and the two teams come and go.
The Spurs did not allow Leonard to attack again, and the Kings also suspended the resistance defense. The two teams had their own gains and losses, and the point difference never widened.
To Su Yang's surprise, the combination of Paul and Leonard is really strong, especially in defense, but it is particularly easy to target.
The core reason why it is particularly easy to target is that the Spurs have no focus on the defensive end except for the mid-range. They want to defend against Curry's long shots and Antetokounmpo. The strategy is too traditional.
As Antetokounmpo grabbed an offensive rebound and caused Gay to foul, the game reached 9 minutes and 56 seconds from the bottom of the fourth quarter.
The referee blew his whistle to indicate a free throw, and the Spurs took the opportunity to replace Danny Green and Leonard, which meant preparing for a decisive battle.
Su Yang adjusted at the same time, replaced Curry and Brogdon, and instructed the king's generals by the way: "If Leonard gets the ball, continue to adopt the previous defensive strategy." Nader, less effective.
Curry and others nodded in understanding, then turned and entered the arena.
Antetokounmpo followed up with two free throws, and the Kings regained the lead 93 to 92. The referee signaled the two teams to switch possession.
During the live broadcast, Van Gundy said: "CP3's career so far has always encountered embarrassing situations where it is difficult to score at critical moments in the playoffs, but now that he is teammates with Leonard, he will never encounter such embarrassing situations again. Of course, I didn't mean to belittle Griffin or Harden, it's just that Leonard's key ball ability is indeed a little better than the two of them."
Jackson chuckled: "Paul can even retain his physical strength, and he can kill Leonard at critical moments. He can also prevent Leonard from being double-teamed for a long time. It’s getting better and better, after all, the Kings are a team with core players who have been working together for many years, and they have not formed a team for more than half a year, and they have very little time for joint training.”
During the conversation, Leonard dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, Paul used Green's left elbow to cover and lift the ball up, Leonard turned to use Gasol's right elbow to cover and ran to the bottom corner, and after Gasol finished the screen, Continue up the wall to block Brogdon, back screen.
The Spurs are still a typical strong-weak shift + continuous pick-and-roll cover. This offense has three pick-and-roll covers. The defensive discipline is deviated, or the defensive system is deviated, or the defensive communication is lacking. After three times, the defensive loopholes have been fully exposed.
But the Kings didn't give any chance. The delay in the attack and the squeeze over the screen were carried out at the same time, and the defense was airtight and orderly.
Paul rushed to the free throw line and was blocked, so he had no choice but to pass the ball to Gasol, then took over and passed back, and continued to play pick-and-rolls. Finally, he succeeded in attracting McGee's defense, and turned to Gasol, who slid to the right, to attract Go to Covington to make up defense and let Leonard get open.
In the blink of an eye, Paul jumped against the encirclement, seemingly about to make a layup, but actually threw the ball to the right 45-degree three-point line.
Leonard received the ball wide open, raised his hand and flew back to the defensive Covington, crossed and stepped into the paint area, suddenly stopped and turned to the right, hit the ground and passed to the right wing, there was a cover by Gasol, secretly Paul, who slipped past, lost Brogdon.
The main reason is that the rhythm is too fast, and the attack time is only more than three seconds left. Leonard started the ball instantly. It is easy for the Kings to think that they have made a breakthrough. It is hard to think that Leonard actually chooses to pass the ball. I don’t know if he trusts Paul. , I still want to throw the pot away.
"Woooooooo..."
Boos all over the court suddenly exploded. Paul caught the ball and took off to shoot a three-pointer. After the sound, the Spurs once again overtook the Kings 24 to 95.
"This is the combined power of Paul and Leonard?"
"As long as you run, you can't completely prevent death!"
"It seems that the shortcoming of the two will be Leonard's pass."
As the fans in the back were excitedly discussing, Su Yang didn't think it was that exaggerated. He could only say that Paulun's combination was patient enough, because if it were any other combination, if Leonard was substituted for the situation just now, there would be a [-]% chance that he would choose to shoot instead of Break through the ball again.
Of course, Paul had already reached the basket in the end and chose to run out with the help of a screen, which is impossible for ordinary players.
Just imagine that Westbrook was standing in Paul's position just now. There are more than three seconds left in the attack time. Will he run around the screen?
While thinking about it, Curry broke through an emergency stop and threw the iron. McGee grabbed an offensive rebound and easily made a tip-up.
The two teams switched offense and defense.
The Spurs started with bullhorn tactics, completely ignoring Leonard, who was squatting in the left corner, and Ade with his right elbow responded with the ball. He screened several times in a row and ran with the ball in a wide range. Ji, pretending to break through, but actually retreated and rushed to make a shot.
The basketball went into the net hollowly, but it was a pity that only two points were stepped on the line.
"Strong, Grandpa Sao Paulo is strong!"
"McGee is so easy to be fooled!"
"183 shots shoot 213!"
The audience on the sidelines praised him, and Su Yang heard it clearly. He once again lamented that Paul's patience was really good. It was another attack that only took more than 3 seconds to make a shot. The impatient young man is much better.
Easy side king attack.
Continuously conducting the cover run, McGee got a wide open catch and shot a three-pointer, but it was a pity that he smashed the basket and hit the iron.
But Antetokounmpo took advantage of Gasol not inside, grabbed an offensive rebound over Paul's head, and caused Paul to foul. It was echoed by Paul's block and lost rebounds. Otherwise, as a big man, he lost to Paul many times at the basket. That's a shame.
There were cheers everywhere in the arena, Antetokounmpo made two free throws, and the Kings tied with the Spurs 97-97. The game was very exciting.
Su Yang turned to look at assistant coach Jenkins: "If the Spurs still let McGee open in the future, remember to remind me to make substitutions." Compared with the previous defensive strategy, the Spurs have begun to focus on it, and they are obviously ready to close the game. Fortunately, the letter Brother is too strong.
Jenkins nodded.
The Spurs attacked on the court, Paul asked Leonard to play a pick-and-roll, and the other three left space, which was considered a super killer move.
According to Su Yang's arrangement, Covington immediately stepped up to grab the delay, and double-teamed with the chasing Brogdon. Paul turned around and passed the ball in a hurry, but due to limitations and height disadvantages, Paul chose to throw a high pass, and the basketball gliding time was slightly longer , Covington returned to defense calmly.
The situation became Leonard singled out Covington.
According to Su Yang's arrangement, Covington stuck his right hand directly, and the letters shrank to the basket synchronously, and the king's siege was instantly displayed.
Maybe he was paralyzed, Leonard turned around and passed back.
Paul received the ball at the top of the arc and took advantage of Gasol's cover to start. McGee's delay arrived, and it became a military training situation again.
7 seconds left on shot clock.
Paul still pulled the ball patiently and retreated, retreated beyond the three-point line, then changed hands and swayed continuously, and suddenly started to break to the right, but unfortunately he did not pass McGee, so he could only stop and turn around in a short corner. , In a panic, the referee whistled and whistled for walking.
Cheers erupted in the arena.
Paul squeezed the basketball with both hands in frustration, as if hating himself for making such a low-level mistake.
Popovich waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and then yelled: "Go back to defense, do it again next time, pass the ball up, pass more..."
In-court play continues.
The echelon screen formation started, Covington pretended to catch the ball with the screen running, but Antetokounmpo followed up to catch the ball, then turned around and ran to Curry at the same time, making a hand-to-hand screen cooperation, Green responded A little slower, the three-pointer suddenly rose into the air.
bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.
100:97.
In the live broadcast, Van Gundy laughed: "Curry always scores when he is about to be forgotten. Unlike ordinary players, he needs to take more shots to accumulate touch. He can catch the ball anytime, anywhere, which makes the Spurs' defensive strategy very good. Tangled."
Jackson was full of envy: "He can score through complex running without the ball, and he can also score through this simple rush shot..."
Offensive and defensive transitions on the field.
Paul didn't continue to look for Gasol to pick and roll, and didn't play the ball for Leonard. He directly lobbed the ball to the left waist, and Adelaide received the ball in his comfortable place, directly sat down with force, turned around and started forcibly, Antetokounmpo caused a blocking foul and got two free throws.
It's a bit of a double standard, and the Spurs' greater defensive actions have not whistled at least twice, although the Kings did foul.
Brother Antetokounmpo didn't care, and Su Yang didn't bother to protest. He knew that the theme of this competition was to keep the suspense.
There were boos everywhere in the arena. Ade made the first free throw and made the second free throw to help the Spurs catch up to 98-100.
Easy side king attack.
Starting with a 14flat formation, Brogge stepped up to pick up the ball, and subconsciously crossed sideways to protect his left waist to avoid being robbed.
But he did that too many times, Paul seemed to have been prepared, he bent down suddenly, and slapped the ball off.
The basketball was forced and rolled towards the center line. Paul took advantage of the momentum and rushed up to grab it in his hands, and went straight to the frontcourt.
Curry chased and failed to catch up. Paul started two steps inside the free throw line, jumped high, and it was a smash.
"Ouch, I boiled..."
Su Yang's eyes widened, never expecting to see Paul actually slam dunks, it's really hilarious.
The Spurs generals were very excited, and even Leonard, who was like a robot, showed a happy smile.
Only Popovich is still serious, and seems to think that Paul should not take such a big risk to dunk, but Paul made up for the previous walking mistakes through strong steals, which raised the morale of the whole team. good thing.
The two teams were tied again.
The game continued. Antetokounmpo made a mid-range shot, Curry made a three-pointer, and McGee dunked with a pie. On the Spurs side, Leonard hit the iron, Aldridge hit the iron, Gasol hit the iron, and Paul scored seven in a row. Bite the situation, comparable to the god of war.
Paul's seven points, two three-pointers running off the ball, one offensive rebound caused a foul, but unfortunately missed one free throw.
Between you and me, as Curry took away the defense, McGee received a through dunk from Brogdon, and the Kings went ahead by 1 point.
With the last 2 minutes and 20 seconds left in the game, Popovich called a timeout to make final arrangements for the Spurs.
In the live broadcast seat, Van Gundy was slightly disappointed: "The game has been played so far, and I have seen some cooperation between Paul and Leonard, but the Spurs should not be able to achieve the effect they want. Leonard has only played in the fourth quarter so far. 1 shot to hit the iron, relying on Paul to score to stabilize the situation, the King's defense is indeed very strong, but Leonard can't bring pressure to the King if he doesn't attack."
Jackson nodded: "Paul has scored 14 points from the fourth quarter to the present, but he has not posed a threat to the Kings. If they lose the game in the end, there may be self-doubt internally, especially Aldridge, whose tactical status has dropped significantly. ..."
Damn, it's too cold in Chengdu, and the code words freeze my hands!
