Chapter 775 If Paul 203
In anticipation, the Kings and Spurs playoffs in the first game of the Western Conference Finals officially started on May NO.14.
According to the tradition, the Saskatchewan City Hall proposed that all major companies and enterprises in the city get off work one hour earlier, and proposed to postpone the work time of the next day. From ordinary fans to professional commentators, everyone felt that the king would usher in the strongest in these years opponent.
ESPN’s 21 experts predicted, and TNT’s eight retired celebrities discussed and deduced, coupled with social platform voting statistics such as Twitter, as to who can advance to the finals between the Spurs and the Kings, the trend is [-]-[-], unlike the Eastern Conference that mainly supports the Green Kai.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Yang deliberately took a helicopter to the center of Gold One, and participated in the chorus of thousands of people above the square, a majestic "Steel Torrent March" and a dynamic "waiting for love", hi Explode the entire Sacra.
07:30, pre-match ceremony.
According to Su Yang's request, the on-site DJ played "Dare to Ask Where the Way Is" as the opening music. Afterwards, 15 famous kings, including Divac and Webber, accompanied Curry and Antetokounmpo. The big central screen displays video comparisons of games between Kings legends and active players, and specifically selects those moments with the same position and demeanor.
With the appearance of Curry and Peja also shooting for the lore at 45 degrees, the atmosphere of the audience exploded to its peak.
The game started immediately, and the Spurs specially arranged for Gay to start and let Adelaide play the center, obviously looking for speed.
Amidst the cheers, the Spurs won the jump ball and started with a five-out formation. Aldridge ran to the top of the arc and stood still, pretending to cooperate with Guy, who was 45 degrees to the left, and played an echelon cover with separation of strength and weakness. Leonard, rushed to the top of the arc to receive a pass from Paul.
The king responded calmly, Cousins bowed and lowered his center of gravity, preparing for the delay in the grab, and Antetokounmpo also left room.
Unexpectedly, Guy suddenly gave up covering for Leonard, turned around and rushed to Ade's side, using the cover to quickly turn around and cut inside, and Leonard followed closely, staying at the top of the arc for a moment to pretend to catch the ball, but actually mentioned the LOGO, Put up a wall to block Brogdon.
Paul immediately accelerated and rushed to the left 45-degree three-point line, ready to cooperate with Adelaide to play a pick-and-roll.
With Su Yang's request to switch defenses before the game, Cousins didn't hesitate to go up and delay the delay, and boos suddenly broke out in the arena.
Paul stopped immediately, turned around and passed the ball vigorously to the right 45-degree three-point line, and Leonard took the ball and put it in a three-threat posture, then raised his hands high, ready to go straight inside, trying to let Alder in the paint Inside, the misplaced back hit Brogdon.
"This is the price of unlimited defense changes..."
Su Yang felt emotional when he saw this, but he never thought that Leonard did not pass the ball through, but passed the ball back to the left 45-degree three-point line. After Paul received the ball, he immediately raised his hands and prepared to hang the pass. In a little time, Curry's early help is in place.
Brogdon and the two went around the front left and right to interfere with the space for receiving the ball. Paul didn't seem to want to take risks, and instead passed the ball long to the right bottom corner. There was a big open three-pointer because of Curry's early help. Danny Green.
"Ah this..."
Su Yang felt nervous and looking forward to it, knowing that Paul has such court vision and defensive reading, but at this moment, Paul is standing in front of Cousins, who is 210+ cm tall, and it may be difficult to control the angle because of too many high lobs and strength.
If the person standing in Paul's position is LeBron, Su Yang will not have tension and anticipation, and the success rate of tall long passes will be greatly increased.
Beep!The referee blows his whistle.
The basketball hit the out-of-bounds floor at the same time as a violation. Danny Green tried his best to take off but failed to catch the basketball. Paul made a pass too high and made a mistake.
"If Paul is also 203 cm..."
Su Yang is both delighted and emotional. Paul's height of 183 is too limited. Let alone 203 cm, 191 cm will be another achievement, just like the legendary two miai. It can only be said to be quite regrettable. Paul can think of it. But because the body can't do it.
Perhaps because of the same feeling, Mike Brown, the assistant coach next to him, also sighed: "The Spurs' opening tactic is very powerful, with continuous true and false screens, we can't be distracted in the slightest, and we can make full use of our defense strategy to push us step by step. To either enlarge the small or defend the small big, or even be forced to give a big space, and finally ended up with a mistake, it can only be said that the body is limited..."
Assistant coach Jenkins shook his head slightly: "The Spurs still want to play too easily. They are not ready to fight from the beginning to the end. Paul can play small one-on-one against Cousins at the beginning, and he can also play later. Leonard also has the opportunity to play at 45. One-on-one Tatum."
Assistant coach West also sighed: "At this moment, I just want to say that Su Yang has prepared us for a round of marathon series in advance, how far-sighted it is..." Su Yang blushed slightly when he heard the words, mainly honest Wes It was a surprise that Te suddenly praised it.
Between the speeches, the offense and defense switched on the court.
The king started with an inside and four outside formation. Antetokounmpo mentioned that he received the ball at the top of the arc and then moved to the right. Together with Brogdon and Curry, he played a variant Chicago match. Brogdon finished the screen for Curry After that, turn around and rush to the basket.
Brogdon turned around and rushed to the basket, leaving a large space on the right wing. Curry just ran to the right wing, suddenly stopped and turned around, and also rushed to the basket, but Paul was so smart that he turned around immediately and quietly. Dela Curry jersey.
In just one second, although Curry was not stopped from cutting inside, Paul followed closely and hurriedly let go of the jersey.
The referee not only didn’t see it but didn’t want to blow it, the whistle was not obvious, and Antetokounmpo had no target to catch the ball, and because Brogdon and Curry rushed back to the basket, there was no chance to let go of their hands and feet to rush to the basket for the time being, so they simply pulled the ball Turn around and head straight for the free throw line.
Gay chased wildly with small steps, Leonard shrank from the left side in advance to help defend, Antetokounmpo stopped suddenly and threw the ball to the left wing.
9 seconds left on shot clock.
Tatum received the ball wide open, faced Leonard back to the defense, raised his hand and scored a three-pointer, and the basketball rebounded with a bang.
"It's okay, the tactics are out..."
Tatum's 37% shooting three-pointer is a convulsion type. He often hedges 10 of 1 shots and 10 of 7 shots. Come out, it's still a small profit.
Mike Brown then said: "The Spurs focus on defending Curry and Brogdon to get the ball, and at the same time would rather give open space, but also prevent Giannis from entering the inside line. We may need to open the situation from the outside line first, especially the small open space that Tatum just had. Three points..."
Su Yang nodded in agreement.
Synchronized offensive and defensive transitions on the court, the Spurs are fast-paced. After Gay grabbed the rebound, he did not hand it over to Paul or Leonard. Pass to Danny Green in the corner.
Then the three-pointer went into the air, and with a bang, Antetokounmpo jumped high to grab a rebound, and the King counterattacked with a fast break.
Cheers erupted in the arena. Antetokounmpo reached the free throw line in three seconds. Seeing the Spurs surrounded by four, he immediately braked and turned around. He raised his hand and passed the ball to Cousins who followed up to the top of the arc. With the hand-off, Curry caught the ball and rushed to shoot directly.
Beep!The referee blew his whistle, calling for Leonard to violate Curry's cylinder from behind, and the basketball bounced back with a clatter.
Leonard shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands to show his helplessness. Popovich roared and protested from the sidelines, but the referee didn't pay any attention.
Chasing too fast is also risky!
The MVP cheers exploded in the arena, Curry stood on the free throw line, made three free throws in a row, and the Kings took the lead at the start.
The two teams switched offense and defense, and the Spurs played an elbow, but the king's defense strategy did not give Paul and Leonard a chance to cooperate in the bottom corner. Ade saw the situation with his left elbow behind him, and immediately moved forward. Turn around and start attacking the basket.
Antetokounmpo immediately shrunk to help defend from the right corner, and Adelaide pushed the ball straight to Gay who was open.
Curry synchronously rotated and stood in front of Guy, and the situation became a small defense. Guy subconsciously crossed and turned around, wanting to single out Curry with his back, but it was not easy to start, so he hurriedly passed the ball to Green. He caught the ball again and turned to face the basket, and made a strong start.
The size gap between the two is quite large, and Curry chose to block the bottom line without hesitation, and induced Gay to go high and enter the defense area.
But Gay was unmoved, still stepping on the bottom line and rushing.
Curry couldn't stop it at all, and Antetokounmpo, who was supposed to move X to defend Danny Green, hurriedly stopped inside to cover the block, but Guy took off with 24 seconds to take off and forcibly threw the ball 45 degrees to the right. At the point line, Green caught the ball wide open and rushed to shoot a three-pointer.
bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.
3 to 3 draw.
In the ESPN live broadcast, Van Gundy chuckled and asked: "Mark, do you think Gay made this choice because he was worried about being blocked by Giannis, or did he think that Green on the outside had a better chance, even at the risk of a 24-second violation? To pass the ball?"
Mark Jackson also chuckled: "Who knows? Maybe it was a strategic choice full of patience, maybe it was forced, but judging from the first offense of the Spurs, I am more inclined to be a strategic choice full of patience. The Spurs want to play well. Easy."
In-court play continues.
The king made a fast break, Antetokounmpo passed to Curry, Curry directly turned sideways and swung a long pass, while Brogdon received the ball from the left wing of the frontcourt, took advantage of the momentum and rushed into the paint area, facing Paul's supplementary defense and Green chasing, forcibly The ball took off and made a mid-range shot, which was blocked by Paul.
"Damn it! Paul's big hat!"
Su Yang stared wide-eyed. The next second, Brogdon, who landed on the ground, picked up the offensive rebound, turned around and took off without hesitation, and made another shot in front of Paul. The basketball rebounded and fell into the net with a bang. Ade picked up the basketball and retreated out of bounds, and also grabbed the serve.
Paul caught the ball and ran wildly, rushed to the left wing of the frontcourt in three seconds, waited for a while, pulled the ball back, raised his hand and hit the ground, and then passed to the left waist.
Leonard, who followed up, caught the ball with his back, turned around and faced the basket, started with a three-threat action, pulled down and swung in front of his body continuously, released the ball suddenly and started, and rushed into the paint with a big stride. Tatum hurried to catch up and inadvertently pushed his waist.
Beep!The referee whistled for a foul.
The Spurs rearranged their offense.
"Leonard showed his true skills..."
Su Yang sighed in a low voice, as far as the first step of Leonard's super explosive, both speed and strength, even if the same position, the same situation happens again, there is a 99% probability that Tatum will not be able to prevent it, a bit like Iverson It's the feeling of walking on the right.
In-court play continues.
After serving from the left wing, Leonard entered the field, handed over to Gay, rushed to the top of the arc, and then looked for Aldridge to cover him. After making a big circle, he succeeded in the 45-degree three-point line on the right. Sings, swaying in front of the continuum, suddenly pulled out.
Boom!The basketball hits the hoop and into the net.
The cheers from the Spurs bench exploded, Su Yang frowned slightly, thinking that Nima was too strong, and suddenly switched to McGrady's state.
The Kings launched a counterattack on the court. Curry used an early screen to make an emergency stop at the free throw line and made a mid-range shot. The basketball slammed like iron, but Tatum took advantage of the chaos to grab an offensive rebound and then passed to Curry, who was already in a wide open position, and a three-pointer followed. , fell into the Nets with a bang.
8 to 6, the opening performance of the two teams exploded, answer balls one after another, and they were basically the kind of defense in place.
The defensive shouts in the arena exploded at the same time. The Spurs played a fast break again. Green directly sat on the back and hit Curry, but the level of the back was really embarrassing. pass the ball away.
But because Green seized the low space in advance, both Gay and Ade can only watch from the outside. After the basketball is passed, it is very difficult to get in again. Su Yang instructed to put up a 32 zone defense, and Gay and Leonard operated one after another. After a meal, hit the iron in the middle shot.
The King got the rebound and counterattacked, causing the Spurs to kick the ball illegally, and then attacked from the sideline, and Curry rushed to shoot a three-pointer to hit the iron.
On the live broadcast, Van Gundy said: "The Spurs' defensive strategy is very clear. They try their best to limit Curry and Brogdon, and they are determined not to let Giannis enter the inside to destroy the defensive formation. The king's defensive strategy is very close to that of the Spurs. It is also fully restricted. Leonard and Paul, don't let the Spurs easily score in the interior, even if there is an open three-pointer, they are betting!"
Jackson nodded: "What surprised me even more is that the Spurs and the Kings also chose to play fast breaks whenever they had the opportunity. Gay and Green would not even hand the ball to Paul. Paul did not complain. The Kings The long pass and quick shot, especially Curry, may be inspired by Su Yang, I hope he can use the three-pointer to change the Spurs' defensive strategy as soon as possible, the game is too exciting!"
Between the talks, after the first half of the game, the Kings trailed 50 to 59, and the main players were Curry and Antetokounmpo, who combined for 21 of 7.
The two of them made 9 of 4 three-pointers, which is actually okay, but the mid-range shot and attacking the basket are really stretched, and the most painful thing is that Cousins also failed to play an advantage inside, only 6 of 2, which caused the King's outside pressure to be huge. Fortunately, Ade was successfully exchanged, but he didn't play well.
Back in the locker room, Su Yang glanced at the statistics and found that Leonard played 21 minutes in the first half, while Paul played 19 minutes in the first half. I replaced it.
"I was wrong..."
Mike Brown said embarrassingly: "I thought the Spurs weren't playing decisively enough. It turned out that they used the main players' playing time to the limit, and naturally wanted to score more easily..." Before the words fell, Jenkins and West were also full of embarrassment, bragging up.
Su Yang didn't care, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the Spurs would choose to play fast-paced with us, and it was in the case of the main force playing for a long time. It can only be said that it is not as simple as we thought, but we played No problem, Curry continued to give priority to shooting to change the Spurs' defensive strategy in the second half, I believe you can find the touch..."
After all, having witnessed Curry scoring zero points in the first half and 33 points in the second half, Su Yang has absolute confidence in Curry finding his touch.
"OK, I'll kill them!"
Curry nodded and patted his chest to promise, then raised his right hand high to call, and the whole team gathered together, fisting shoulder to shoulder and shouting cheers.
The game started in the third quarter, and Curry found the touch, but the Spurs double-teamed too hard and took fewer shots. Fortunately, after passing the ball, Brogdon and Cousins played well and successfully helped the Kings narrow the five-point gap , Only 4 points behind.
It's a pity that the game entered the fourth quarter, and the Kings were unable to catch up with the point difference. With Curry's two consecutive strikes, they fell behind by 9 points.
Seeing that there were 2 minutes and 35 seconds left in the game, Su Yang got up and asked for a timeout, ready to adjust his strategy and give it a go.

Curry nodded and patted his chest to promise, then raised his right hand high to call, and the whole team gathered together, fisting shoulder to shoulder and shouting cheers.
The game started in the third quarter, and Curry found the touch, but the Spurs double-teamed too hard and took fewer shots. Fortunately, after passing the ball, Brogdon and Cousins played well and successfully helped the Kings narrow the five-point gap , Only 4 points behind.
It's a pity that the game entered the fourth quarter, and the Kings were unable to catch up with the point difference. With Curry's two consecutive strikes, they fell behind by 9 points.
Seeing that there were 2 minutes and 35 seconds left in the game, Su Yang got up and asked for a timeout, ready to adjust his strategy and give it a go.
