Chapter 765 I thought you must have a brilliant move
On the 25th, as one of the league's five Christmas battles, the game between the Kings and the Spurs was the penultimate finale.
Arriving at the Golden No. [-] Center at [-]:[-] p.m., Su Yang arranged the training content and accepted pre-match interviews as usual.
The first question was about Popovich’s statement. Su Yang said with a smile: “I don’t know if it’s because of your ESPN hype. If coach Popovich really said that, then he must have a reason for saying that. Let's see what happens."
Popovich always likes to say things that other coaches dare not say, but even if Popovich really thinks of a way, Su Yang doesn't care too much. After all, theory and practice are two different things. Baskets can strike iron.
What's more, the king also changed his tactics.
Su Yang temporarily arranged for Bridges to start, so as to better limit Paul, and also prepared in advance that he would not be able to limit Leonard at all, including that Curry or Antetokounmpo also had a backup plan when they encountered foul troubles, let alone being on the scene at that time strain.
After the interview, Su Yang rushed to the square outside the arena to serve as a volunteer, distributing roast chicken and other food to fans in need, and then gave a speech to thank the fans for their support and attention, and will find ways to provide more employment opportunities around the Kings and help More fans.
The game started at 07:30.
Saskatchewan Mayor Johnson, famous rapper JAYZ and other celebrities appeared on the sidelines to watch the game, and the arena was full of stars.
The Spurs temporarily adjusted the starting lineup, and it turned out that Gay played the center. Su Yang was stunned on the spot, thinking that he deserved to be Popovich, but considering that the Lakers are 196 cm tall and can play the center, it is not surprising. After all, modern basketball, Times have changed.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, the king won the jump ball.
Starting with an inside and four outside formation, Curry crossed the ball to the left and ran to the waist on the right, followed by an emergency stop and turned around, using the cover to circle back to the top of the arc and receive a pass from Cousins. With a hand screen, he got rid of Green's pursuit and rushed to the basket quickly.
On the Spurs side, Paul quickly squeezed through the screen to catch up, Gay intercepted immediately, did not give Curry a chance to shoot a three-pointer, and did not give Curry a chance to break through and rush to the basket, forcing Curry to either make an emergency stop to make a mid-range shot, or Find a way to distribute the ball.
Curry can hit the mid-range shot, and his hit rate is quite high, but he is not a common offensive method. He subconsciously hits the ball to Cousins who is standing at the top of the arc, and Cousins holds the ball with his hands high, slightly Gay, who was back on defense, crossed and rushed forward.
After hitting the basket in the blink of an eye, Cousins stepped up against Gay, and was also interfered by Adelaide's defense, and the basketball slammed like iron.
The Spurs counterattacked with a rebound and went straight to the five-out formation.
Paul then used Guy to cover and play a small-scale cooperation on the left wing, and did not give the King a partial three-defense and two-defense opportunity. Although he was threatened by ICE's defensive strategy, his passing skills and ball-handling ability were restricted by ICE. very small.
Su Yang didn't say a word when he saw this, he wanted to see how Paul would fight, while Cousins and Bridges started ICE on Paul at the same time.
Perhaps because he had been prepared, Paul instantly hit the pocket pass with his crotch. The movement was quite subtle and fast. Bridges failed to react in time. Gay caught the ball and rushed, and Cousins hurriedly It was too late to turn around and chase after him, so he could only watch him off.
Because the Spurs start with a five-out formation, Antetokounmpo and other players are far away from the basket. With Antetokounmpo's athletic ability, if he forcibly shrinks the defense, it is too late, but Gay can easily pass the ball to Ah. Germany, easy to waste effort.
I saw Brother Antetokounmpo's thighs shaking instinctively, but in the end they still didn't start to contract, and Gay dunked with a bang.
"If this is Pop's strategy, if they can play like this all game, I have nothing to say..."
Su Yang quite appreciates the Spurs' five-out lineup just now and the local small coordination. It can weaken the King's defensive linkage to the greatest extent and make the most of Cousins' defensive weakness. The only trouble is that it wastes energy and requires more balls for configuration. .
Anyway, Gasol can't play that kind of cooperation with Paul, and that should be the only reason why Gay replaced Gasol in the starting lineup.
"Their five-out formation, with two big men on both wings, can quickly form a side cover no matter where the ball goes. It is obviously a change for our potential Giannis to switch to Gay..." Assistant coach Jenkins added Said.
Su Yang nodded in agreement. After the Spurs launched their offense, Paul and Leonard advanced in the middle, moving 45 degrees to both sides respectively, while Danny Green went directly to the bottom corner. Antetokounmpo was there, and the Spurs' offense must have come from the other side. initiated.
The key is that both Adelaide and Gay can shoot a three-pointer, and the positions of the two are also good for passing the ball.
While thinking about it, the king's position was settled.
There was no one on the Spurs to press the line collectively, and the area under the basket was suddenly empty, but Cousins subconsciously wanted to make room for Antetokounmpo, but failed to get in in time. When Antetokounmpo reacted, the Spurs had completed the line suppression and successfully launched to the delay effect.
Seeing this, Su Yang yelled, reminding Cousins to grab the low post. After all, he is facing up to Guy, who obviously has the advantage of height and weight.
It's a pity that between the positions, it took time to attack. When Cousins got the ball, Gay decisively intercepted the line, while the rest of the Spurs shrank inside. Aldridge was ready to help defend against interference. Leonard, Green and Paul stood evenly. bit, intercepting the passing lane.
There was not much time left in the attack, Cousins dared to take risks easily, turned around in a hurry, sank to the bottom, and made a layup.
The Spurs grabbed the rebound, Danny Green received the ball from the center line, rushed to the frontcourt and directly hit the opposing Curry, and succeeded.
"If the fast break is still like this in the next few rounds, it should be one of the Spurs' strategies..." Although he only played one round, Su Yang intuitively felt that the Spurs would rush to attack crazily. After all, they didn't hand over the ball to Paul. Obviously want to play fast.
Turn around and attack the king again.
Antetokounmpo is very clever. He took the initiative to give up the space in the low post, took over the high post, and cooperated with Curry in a triangle attack. After receiving the ball, he raised his hands and passed to Cousins on the left waist. Difficult to link.
Unexpectedly, Gay gave up the previous strategy of sticking to the line and laying down the bottom line, and changed to sticking to the bottom line and putting up the line, and Green simultaneously shrank the defense.
With that kind of strategy, as long as Cousins chooses to go up the line to break through or rush to the basket, he will inevitably encounter interference from Paul's help defense. In addition, because he will be very close to the top of the arc when he goes up the line, even if Cousins gives the ball to Curry, Green can Complete the defense in time.
The situation on the court is not to be thought about. Cousins started with the ball and walked to the line. Against Green's interference, he hurriedly took off and hooked.
I wanted to split the dunk in three steps, but my explosive power was a little bit weak, not to mention that Leonard on the baseline had already slipped to the edge of the paint.
clang!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.
Leonard jumped up and caught the rebound, landed and turned around and threw it to Paul. The Spurs launched a fast break, while Green took the ball on the right side of the frontcourt. Scored to help start 6-0.
"It's interesting..."
Su Yang keenly sensed a hint of crisis, and immediately sat up straight to watch the game, while the king in the field launched a counterattack simultaneously.
Antetokounmpo took the initiative to give up space in the interior, and continued to gesture at Curry to signal for a triangle offense to create space for Cousins to catch the ball. However, Cousins showed a little hesitation, probably because of the two consecutive No offense scored.
Seeing that appearance, Su Yang thought badly.
It hurts too much for a player to lose confidence.
But the Spurs' defense is indeed very targeted. After Cousins gets the ball, he has extremely high requirements on his personal ability.
Just thinking about it, Curry made a decision and raised his hand to signal the triangle to play offensively, obviously wanting to help Cousins find his status.
Cheers erupted in the arena. Cousins bit the bullet and blocked Gay with his left waist and back, catching the ball and getting ready for a single. Adams made a cross-screen run, trying to take Green to help defend.
Running is just a means. As long as Green moves with him, Cousins will have room to operate, even if only a little bit.
Unexpectedly, Green stayed put.
Bridgeston got an open spot, and Cousins rushed to score the ball like a bomb, but as soon as Bridges caught it, Green returned to defend close interference. The opportunity to operate the ball seems to be ready.
Bridges is a 3D position, and the ball itself is average. There is really no good way, and the Kings reorganized.
There was not much time left in the attack, Curry circled back to the top of the arc to get the ball, played a pick-and-roll with Antetokounmpo directly, made an emergency stop and made a mid-range shot,
The Spurs got the rebound and launched a fast break, and Leonard scored a one-stop dunk, helping to lead the start 8-0.
"pause!"
Su Yang raised his hand to signal that he thought he had figured out the Spurs' defensive routines, and the Kings needed to make some adjustments on the offensive end.
The Kings returned to the bench. Curry patted Cousins carefully on the shoulder to reassure Cousins not to be nervous. Seeing this, Su Yang also smiled and encouraged him, and then said: "The Spurs compete with each other on the offensive end. Let's try to defend as much as possible. Don't worry if you can't defend, the point is that the Spurs are forcing us to make a lot of dilemmas on the defensive end, let's not think about passing the ball, let's score the ball first..."
Whether it is the Spurs forcing Curry to the middle distance, or the Spurs inducing Cousins to go to the line or the bottom line, the core defensive idea is to make the Kings hesitate on the offensive end and fall into the entanglement between passing and playing, which wastes time and reduces offense. efficiency.
That is a fate-gambling conspiracy. If the king dares to fight and pass, he may not win, but as long as he hesitates and entangles, he will lose.
In such a situation, the king must grit his teeth and get through it first.
"In short, as long as the opportunity arises, you must be firm!"
After the words fell, Tatum and others nodded to express their understanding, the whistle sounded at the end of the timeout, and the game continued.
The King kicked off the ball in the backcourt, and started another triangle attack in the frontcourt. Cousins caught the ball with his left waist. Germany shrinks and defends, and it is a dunk.
The arena burst into cheers.
Assistant coach Jenkins sighed: "The power of psychological change is too powerful, and DeMarcus seems to have become another person..."
Su Yang smiled and nodded, thinking that this is similar to looking for women in shopping malls and other public places to ask for WeChat. Sometimes they dare not open their mouths, and sometimes they are overconfident. There is no fixed rule. It all depends on how to adjust on the spot, as well as the looks, temperament and clothes of those women. .
After the test in my heart passed, the operation was completely different.
Before the two teams came and went, the King's scoring efficiency returned to the right track, and the Spurs continued to maintain high efficiency.
After the first quarter, the Kings trailed 31 to 36.
Taking advantage of the timeout between quarters, Su Yang glanced at the statistics and found that Leonard played a full 12 minutes in the first quarter, Aldridge and Gay also played more than 10 minutes each, and only Paul and Danny Green performed the usual Spurs before. Rotation strategy.
The second quarter started immediately.
On the Spurs side, Paul and Danny Green are waiting to lead the team first, with Gasol on the inside and Mills on the outside, playing a three-guard combination, speeding up crazily, but on the Kings side, Su Yang is dealing with Brogdon + Covington + Sabo Nice, there is no disadvantage.
In just over 3 minutes, Leonard returned to the court after playing the full first quarter, and Adelaide also returned. The two teamed up with Danny Green and had no intention of resting at all. Su Yang thought for a long time and chose to play hard. Let Antetokounmpo and Brogdon fight more.
The point difference was difficult to widen. After halftime, the Kings chased 58 to 62 and lost 6 offensive rebounds.
Back in the locker room, Su Yang looked at the gap of 6 offensive rebounds, worried that there would be a big problem, and wondered if he could make adjustments on the spot.
But after thinking about it for 2 minutes, I decided to maintain the previous strategy, and suddenly changed, and the Spurs are a strong team, and the risk is greater.
Answering the stadium after the break, Su Yang delivered a speech as the boss, thanking the fans for their support, and announced that he would start to build an online sales platform after the New Year, which is expected to provide more than 5000 blue-collar jobs, and thanked the Saskatchewan area for its support.
The main purpose is to monetize part of the traffic on the MT platform, purchase goods directly from domestic obligatory markets, sell them in North America, and make full use of the cheap land prices in Saskatchewan to build warehouses, which is equivalent to setting up a B2C mall to expand physical operations.
The fans cheered enthusiastically.
Then the third quarter started.
The situation of the two teams has not changed much. On the Spurs side, Leonard played another 12 minutes.In addition to Leonard's 12 minutes, Paul also played 12 minutes, and Gay played 11 minutes. It seems that the king is the strongest in the third quarter and the main force of dead grass.
Seeing this, Su Yang turned his head to look at the Spurs bench, and complained in his heart: "I thought you Popovich must have a brilliant move, but in the Christmas game, in front of [-] spectators, you actually imitated Thibodeau's dead grass main force. Win by whatever means..."
Is really very angry.
The main force of the Spurs' dead grass, Su Yang is not good at normal rotation, temporarily letting Curry and Antetokounmpo fight more, and he is also worried about being ostracized.
In the midst of anxiety, the game played in the last 12 seconds. Antetokounmpo made two free throws, the first free throw was made, the second free throw hit the iron, the Spurs grabbed an offensive rebound, Leonard scored a layup from the chaos and scored two points, helping The Spurs tied with only 5.8 seconds left.
Su Yang asked for a timeout, and instead patted his back to comfort Brother Antetokounmpo, who was annoyed that he had missed a free throw, and then thought about the tactics for a while.
"6 seconds is a little tight. Let's play Iverson Hammer, Popovich's favorite. The starting BOX formation is in position. Curry uses the screen to catch the ball. Brogdon comes in after serving the ball. The screens of Giannis and Cousins do Iverson's cross-cut running, and after Giannis finishes the screen, he receives the pass from Curry and breaks through the right sideline. Winton back-screens to Brogdon in the left corner, and Curry can snap the shot too..."
Between the speeches, the pause ends.
The whistle sounded and the game continued.
The King kicks off from the right sideline of the frontcourt. Brogdon is standing outside the right wing. Antetokounmpo and Cousins are in the left and right elbow areas. Covington and Curry are in the left and right short corners. The whole team is presented as A BOX box formation position, slightly confused.
All the audience stood up and watched.
The referee whistled the ball, and Curry immediately started from the short corner on the right. With the help of Cousins, he quickly rushed to the 45-degree free throw line on the right to receive the ball, and Brogdon then stepped into the field and went straight to the free throw. On the line, with the help of Antetokounmpo and Cousins to cover, Iverson made a cross-cut running position. Everything was arranged by Su Yang, and Antetokounmpo also rushed to the top of the arc to catch the ball.
Simply perfect Iverson Hammer.
Perhaps because he has played Iverson Hammer too many times, Popovich instinctively saw through the king's running intentions, and hurriedly shouted loudly at the court: "Don't let Giannis break through, don't miss anyone in the left corner, the left corner Don't miss out on the bottom corner..."
The Spurs are probably familiar with Iverson Hammer because they have run too many times, and Paul also understands it in seconds.
Between the lightning and the flint, Antetokounmpo encountered a key defense, rushed to the short corner on the right, and encountered Leonard leading the encirclement.
The key lies in the bottom corner on the left, Adelaide did not follow Covington out, and Brogdon did not get an open opportunity.
Seeing that the time was about to run out, Brother Antetokounmpo jumped up, relying on his height and long arms, he forcibly threw the ball to the LOGO position,
And Curry stepped up after receiving the ball, flew towards Danny Green and Gay, and raised his hand to score a super long three-pointer.
bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.
The whistle at the end of the game sounded simultaneously, and the Kings defeated the Spurs 109 to 106 and won the Christmas game with difficulty.
The cheers at the center of Golden One burst.Su Yang laughed wildly, thinking that it's okay to see through the tactics, I have Curry's hard solution.
Merry Christmas music played along, and the crowd sang Merry Christmas toward the Spurs bench.
In the whole game, the Kings rotated 8 players, and 56 players scored in double figures. Antetokounmpo and Curry scored 8 points together, while the Spurs also rotated 7 players, but Dejounte Morey was more like going through the motions, and the actual 43 players rotated , Leonard played 41 minutes and scored 40 points in the air, Paul played 28 minutes and scored 38 points in the air, and Alder played 11 minutes and made 4 of 11 shots and only scored [-] points.
There were heated discussions after the game, and a comment with 1+ likes wrote: "Just like the Cavaliers lost last time, I think the Spurs also succeeded in limiting the Kings. Unfortunately, Curry is too lucky, especially when the Kings lost 11 offensive rebounds , worthy of study by the entire league."
After finishing the press conference and returning to the locker room, Su Yang felt a headache seeing the comments. Losing 11 offensive rebounds is not a good thing. Other teams will inevitably imitate the Jazz, Cavaliers and Spurs. hair difficult.
Today is just one chapter, even code words during the holidays!
(End of this chapter)
On the 25th, as one of the league's five Christmas battles, the game between the Kings and the Spurs was the penultimate finale.
Arriving at the Golden No. [-] Center at [-]:[-] p.m., Su Yang arranged the training content and accepted pre-match interviews as usual.
The first question was about Popovich’s statement. Su Yang said with a smile: “I don’t know if it’s because of your ESPN hype. If coach Popovich really said that, then he must have a reason for saying that. Let's see what happens."
Popovich always likes to say things that other coaches dare not say, but even if Popovich really thinks of a way, Su Yang doesn't care too much. After all, theory and practice are two different things. Baskets can strike iron.

After the interview, Su Yang rushed to the square outside the arena to serve as a volunteer, distributing roast chicken and other food to fans in need, and then gave a speech to thank the fans for their support and attention, and will find ways to provide more employment opportunities around the Kings and help More fans.
The game started at 07:30.
Saskatchewan Mayor Johnson, famous rapper JAYZ and other celebrities appeared on the sidelines to watch the game, and the arena was full of stars.
The Spurs temporarily adjusted the starting lineup, and it turned out that Gay played the center. Su Yang was stunned on the spot, thinking that he deserved to be Popovich, but considering that the Lakers are 196 cm tall and can play the center, it is not surprising. After all, modern basketball, Times have changed.
Amidst the cheers of the audience, the king won the jump ball.

Curry can hit the mid-range shot, and his hit rate is quite high, but he is not a common offensive method. He subconsciously hits the ball to Cousins who is standing at the top of the arc, and Cousins holds the ball with his hands high, slightly Gay, who was back on defense, crossed and rushed forward.
After hitting the basket in the blink of an eye, Cousins stepped up against Gay, and was also interfered by Adelaide's defense, and the basketball slammed like iron.
The Spurs counterattacked with a rebound and went straight to the five-out formation.
Paul then used Guy to cover and play a small-scale cooperation on the left wing, and did not give the King a partial three-defense and two-defense opportunity. Although he was threatened by ICE's defensive strategy, his passing skills and ball-handling ability were restricted by ICE. very small.
Su Yang didn't say a word when he saw this, he wanted to see how Paul would fight, while Cousins and Bridges started ICE on Paul at the same time.
Perhaps because he had been prepared, Paul instantly hit the pocket pass with his crotch. The movement was quite subtle and fast. Bridges failed to react in time. Gay caught the ball and rushed, and Cousins hurriedly It was too late to turn around and chase after him, so he could only watch him off.

I saw Brother Antetokounmpo's thighs shaking instinctively, but in the end they still didn't start to contract, and Gay dunked with a bang.
"If this is Pop's strategy, if they can play like this all game, I have nothing to say..."
Su Yang quite appreciates the Spurs' five-out lineup just now and the local small coordination. It can weaken the King's defensive linkage to the greatest extent and make the most of Cousins' defensive weakness. The only trouble is that it wastes energy and requires more balls for configuration. .
Anyway, Gasol can't play that kind of cooperation with Paul, and that should be the only reason why Gay replaced Gasol in the starting lineup.

Su Yang nodded in agreement.

Antetokounmpo was there, and the Spurs' offense must have come from the other side. initiated.
The key is that both Adelaide and Gay can shoot a three-pointer, and the positions of the two are also good for passing the ball.

The Spurs grabbed the rebound, Danny Green received the ball from the center line, rushed to the frontcourt and directly hit the opposing Curry, and succeeded.
"If the fast break is still like this in the next few rounds, it should be one of the Spurs' strategies..." Although he only played one round, Su Yang intuitively felt that the Spurs would rush to attack crazily. After all, they didn't hand over the ball to Paul. Obviously want to play fast.
Turn around and attack the king again.
Antetokounmpo is very clever. He took the initiative to give up the space in the low post, took over the high post, and cooperated with Curry in a triangle attack. After receiving the ball, he raised his hands and passed to Cousins on the left waist. Difficult to link.
Unexpectedly, Gay gave up the previous strategy of sticking to the line and laying down the bottom line, and changed to sticking to the bottom line and putting up the line, and Green simultaneously shrank the defense.
With that kind of strategy, as long as Cousins chooses to go up the line to break through or rush to the basket, he will inevitably encounter interference from Paul's help defense. In addition, because he will be very close to the top of the arc when he goes up the line, even if Cousins gives the ball to Curry, Green can Complete the defense in time.
The situation on the court is not to be thought about. Cousins started with the ball and walked to the line. Against Green's interference, he hurriedly took off and hooked.

Leonard jumped up and caught the rebound, landed and turned around and threw it to Paul. The Spurs launched a fast break, while Green took the ball on the right side of the frontcourt. Scored to help start 6-0.
"It's interesting..."

The Spurs got the rebound and launched a fast break, and Leonard scored a one-stop dunk, helping to lead the start 8-0.
"pause!"
Su Yang raised his hand to signal that he thought he had figured out the Spurs' defensive routines, and the Kings needed to make some adjustments on the offensive end.
The Kings returned to the bench. Curry patted Cousins carefully on the shoulder to reassure Cousins not to be nervous. Seeing this, Su Yang also smiled and encouraged him, and then said: "The Spurs compete with each other on the offensive end. Let's try to defend as much as possible.

That is a fate-gambling conspiracy. If the king dares to fight and pass, he may not win, but as long as he hesitates and entangles, he will lose.
In such a situation, the king must grit his teeth and get through it first.
"In short, as long as the opportunity arises, you must be firm!"
After the words fell, Tatum and others nodded to express their understanding, the whistle sounded at the end of the timeout, and the game continued.
The King kicked off the ball in the backcourt, and started another triangle attack in the frontcourt. Cousins caught the ball with his left waist. Germany shrinks and defends, and it is a dunk.
The arena burst into cheers.
Assistant coach Jenkins sighed: "The power of psychological change is too powerful, and DeMarcus seems to have become another person..."
Su Yang smiled and nodded, thinking that this is similar to looking for women in shopping malls and other public places to ask for WeChat. Sometimes they dare not open their mouths, and sometimes they are overconfident. There is no fixed rule. It all depends on how to adjust on the spot, as well as the looks, temperament and clothes of those women. .
After the test in my heart passed, the operation was completely different.
Before the two teams came and went, the King's scoring efficiency returned to the right track, and the Spurs continued to maintain high efficiency.
After the first quarter, the Kings trailed 31 to 36.
Taking advantage of the timeout between quarters, Su Yang glanced at the statistics and found that Leonard played a full 12 minutes in the first quarter, Aldridge and Gay also played more than 10 minutes each, and only Paul and Danny Green performed the usual Spurs before. Rotation strategy.
The second quarter started immediately.
On the Spurs side, Paul and Danny Green are waiting to lead the team first, with Gasol on the inside and Mills on the outside, playing a three-guard combination, speeding up crazily, but on the Kings side, Su Yang is dealing with Brogdon + Covington + Sabo Nice, there is no disadvantage.
In just over 3 minutes, Leonard returned to the court after playing the full first quarter, and Adelaide also returned. The two teamed up with Danny Green and had no intention of resting at all. Su Yang thought for a long time and chose to play hard. Let Antetokounmpo and Brogdon fight more.
The point difference was difficult to widen. After halftime, the Kings chased 58 to 62 and lost 6 offensive rebounds.
Back in the locker room, Su Yang looked at the gap of 6 offensive rebounds, worried that there would be a big problem, and wondered if he could make adjustments on the spot.
But after thinking about it for 2 minutes, I decided to maintain the previous strategy, and suddenly changed, and the Spurs are a strong team, and the risk is greater.
Answering the stadium after the break, Su Yang delivered a speech as the boss, thanking the fans for their support, and announced that he would start to build an online sales platform after the New Year, which is expected to provide more than 5000 blue-collar jobs, and thanked the Saskatchewan area for its support.
The main purpose is to monetize part of the traffic on the MT platform, purchase goods directly from domestic obligatory markets, sell them in North America, and make full use of the cheap land prices in Saskatchewan to build warehouses, which is equivalent to setting up a B2C mall to expand physical operations.
The fans cheered enthusiastically.
Then the third quarter started.
The situation of the two teams has not changed much. On the Spurs side, Leonard played another 12 minutes.In addition to Leonard's 12 minutes, Paul also played 12 minutes, and Gay played 11 minutes. It seems that the king is the strongest in the third quarter and the main force of dead grass.
Seeing this, Su Yang turned his head to look at the Spurs bench, and complained in his heart: "I thought you Popovich must have a brilliant move, but in the Christmas game, in front of [-] spectators, you actually imitated Thibodeau's dead grass main force. Win by whatever means..."
Is really very angry.
The main force of the Spurs' dead grass, Su Yang is not good at normal rotation, temporarily letting Curry and Antetokounmpo fight more, and he is also worried about being ostracized.
In the midst of anxiety, the game played in the last 12 seconds. Antetokounmpo made two free throws, the first free throw was made, the second free throw hit the iron, the Spurs grabbed an offensive rebound, Leonard scored a layup from the chaos and scored two points, helping The Spurs tied with only 5.8 seconds left.
Su Yang asked for a timeout, and instead patted his back to comfort Brother Antetokounmpo, who was annoyed that he had missed a free throw, and then thought about the tactics for a while.
"6 seconds is a little tight. Let's play Iverson Hammer, Popovich's favorite. The starting BOX formation is in position. Curry uses the screen to catch the ball. Brogdon comes in after serving the ball. The screens of Giannis and Cousins do Iverson's cross-cut running, and after Giannis finishes the screen, he receives the pass from Curry and breaks through the right sideline. Winton back-screens to Brogdon in the left corner, and Curry can snap the shot too..."
Between the speeches, the pause ends.
The whistle sounded and the game continued.
The King kicks off from the right sideline of the frontcourt. Brogdon is standing outside the right wing. Antetokounmpo and Cousins are in the left and right elbow areas. Covington and Curry are in the left and right short corners. The whole team is presented as A BOX box formation position, slightly confused.
All the audience stood up and watched.
The referee whistled the ball, and Curry immediately started from the short corner on the right. With the help of Cousins, he quickly rushed to the 45-degree free throw line on the right to receive the ball, and Brogdon then stepped into the field and went straight to the free throw. On the line, with the help of Antetokounmpo and Cousins to cover, Iverson made a cross-cut running position. Everything was arranged by Su Yang, and Antetokounmpo also rushed to the top of the arc to catch the ball.
Simply perfect Iverson Hammer.
Perhaps because he has played Iverson Hammer too many times, Popovich instinctively saw through the king's running intentions, and hurriedly shouted loudly at the court: "Don't let Giannis break through, don't miss anyone in the left corner, the left corner Don't miss out on the bottom corner..."
The Spurs are probably familiar with Iverson Hammer because they have run too many times, and Paul also understands it in seconds.
Between the lightning and the flint, Antetokounmpo encountered a key defense, rushed to the short corner on the right, and encountered Leonard leading the encirclement.
The key lies in the bottom corner on the left, Adelaide did not follow Covington out, and Brogdon did not get an open opportunity.
Seeing that the time was about to run out, Brother Antetokounmpo jumped up, relying on his height and long arms, he forcibly threw the ball to the LOGO position,
And Curry stepped up after receiving the ball, flew towards Danny Green and Gay, and raised his hand to score a super long three-pointer.
bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.
The whistle at the end of the game sounded simultaneously, and the Kings defeated the Spurs 109 to 106 and won the Christmas game with difficulty.
The cheers at the center of Golden One burst.Su Yang laughed wildly, thinking that it's okay to see through the tactics, I have Curry's hard solution.
Merry Christmas music played along, and the crowd sang Merry Christmas toward the Spurs bench.
In the whole game, the Kings rotated 8 players, and 56 players scored in double figures. Antetokounmpo and Curry scored 8 points together, while the Spurs also rotated 7 players, but Dejounte Morey was more like going through the motions, and the actual 43 players rotated , Leonard played 41 minutes and scored 40 points in the air, Paul played 28 minutes and scored 38 points in the air, and Alder played 11 minutes and made 4 of 11 shots and only scored [-] points.
There were heated discussions after the game, and a comment with 1+ likes wrote: "Just like the Cavaliers lost last time, I think the Spurs also succeeded in limiting the Kings. Unfortunately, Curry is too lucky, especially when the Kings lost 11 offensive rebounds , worthy of study by the entire league."
After finishing the press conference and returning to the locker room, Su Yang felt a headache seeing the comments. Losing 11 offensive rebounds is not a good thing. Other teams will inevitably imitate the Jazz, Cavaliers and Spurs. hair difficult.
