Chapter 777
After the first game, the king got a day off.
Su Yang did not arrange a holiday as usual, but called the whole team to gather at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, watched the video repeatedly, and tried to find a way to improve the three-point shooting rate. He could no longer rely on walking a tightrope at the last moment and hitting three consecutive three-pointers like the first game. It's too difficult.
"The Spurs' defensive strategy is very simple. It is to give priority to double-teaming Curry and Giannis, and to test the three-point shooting percentage of Tatum, Brogdon, and even Cousins. Once we fail to shoot smoothly at the beginning, we will easily fall into a vicious circle. We adjust our strategy at the beginning of the next game, first let Brogdon and Tatum attack with the ball more, after finding the rhythm, then catch and shoot."
After Su Yang finished speaking, Curry and others nodded one after another. Tatum and Brogdon also nodded, but their expressions were not too excited. After all, Paul and Leonard's defensive strength is too strong. This strategy is obviously beneficial to the whole team. It's a big test for them.
"don’t worry…"
Seeing this, Su Yang encouraged, "The coaching staff will design corresponding tactics to ensure that the two of you can get good opportunities."
I didn't expect Tatum to single out Leonard in the next game and score with high efficiency. That's something that even LeBron at the peak can hardly achieve. The purpose of letting Tatum pass the ball is to force the Spurs to make it difficult for Curry and Alphabet Brother double-teamed in advance.
The same is true for letting Brogdon hold the ball first. It will not be too smooth to single out Paul or Danny Green.
"I'm not worried..."
Tatum found himself being seen through his small thoughts, and subconsciously denied, "I can single out Leonard, no problem!"
Su Yang nodded with a smile, and said in his heart that if you say yes, you can't refute that the effect of you singled out Leonard is mediocre.
Cousins and others also smiled, and then the topic turned to how to design the cover, and the training followed.
In the evening, the whole team watched the Eastern Conference finals together, and found that the Celtics were tyrannical to the Raptors, and Stevens' tactical level was beyond Nas.Su Yang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the group of the Kai team just didn't know their blessings, and insisted on forcing Stevens away to hire a black coach.
Jaylen Brown claims to be a top student. He just entered the league and didn't need a "smart" person from an agent. As a result, when it came to choosing a new head coach, racism was the primary consideration. Finally, he got Uduka, which is the bottom of the league. .
On NO.16 of the next day, the second game of the playoffs between the Kings and the Spurs continued at the Golden One Center in Saskatchewan.
The two teams started unchanged, and the king won the jump ball.
Brogdon caught the ball and took a pass from Curry to find cover. He made an emergency stop at the left waist and took off to make a mid-range shot. Leaping high, he scored two points for an empty catch.
Turning to the Spurs elbow to start, Paul and Leonard were hindered from cooperating in the bottom corner. Alder immediately took the ball and hit Cousins with his back. Unfortunately, he failed to make a jumper. Tom dunks.
Easy side Spurs attack, 14flat formation, Paul holds the ball, looks for Aldridge to play a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, turns to break to the left, sees that Cousins' grab is delayed, and raises his hand to hit the ground for a pocket pass, but Aldridge did not expect The pace was so fast, I couldn't catch it in a hurry.
The basketball rolled out of bounds, and the referee whistled for a violation.
The Kings turned to the baseline kick-off attack, starting with an inside and four outside formation. Tatum used Curry to cover and lift up. After receiving a pass from Brogdon, he found Cousins who came over at the same time to play a pick-and-roll, making a breakthrough Attract double-teams and pass the ball to Cousins.
Cousins made a three-pointer without hesitation, and the basketball slammed into the net. The Kings started 7-0 with great momentum.
Turning around and attacking immediately, Ade held the ball on his left waist and singled out Brother Antetokounmpo, who was changing defenses. Hastily turned over and made a jump shot, but it turned out to be a black iron again.
The Kings grabbed the rebound and went down quickly. Most of the Spurs' defensive attention was attracted by Curry and Antetokounmpo, so that Brogdon went to the paint area of the frontcourt without any defense, and flew directly to dunk. Popovich yelled for a timeout.
The Kings started 9-0.
Curry and Antetokounmpo's off-the-ball running strategy is quite successful, Tatum and Brogdon are more confident, and they are all better.
Taking advantage of the timeout, Su Yang asked Mike Brown and other assistant coaches to analyze the changes made by the Spurs, especially the opening around Adelaide's main focus, to see if he could find similar games in the past, and then predict other changes that the Spurs may have.
"Obviously, the Spurs want to keep Leonard from getting too tired."
"They also want to score through the inside to attract us to increase their defense and create better opportunities for their shooters. In fact, in this series, Danny Green, as a 3D positioning player, only made 36.3% of his three-pointers. That's why Popovich insisted on using Mills at the end of the game, and Paul is not a traditional three-point shooter..."
While talking, the game continued.
The Spurs still focused on the inside and launched an attack from Gay, but Gay failed to score, but turned around. Alder desperately defended Curry's emergency stop and high throw to the board, and then assisted Gay with a long pass. With two points, the offensive and defensive rounds are full.
It's a pity that the Spurs' scoring momentum has not continued, and they have been stumbling. On the King's side, Brogdon and Tatum's main offense with the ball is playing well.Su Yang thought for a moment, and replaced Curry with 6 minutes left, preparing to let Curry start in the second quarter.
The first quarter ended quickly, the Kings led the Spurs 35 to 21, Brogdon scored 8 points and 2 assists, Tatum scored 9 points and 2 rebounds, Cousins scored 8 points and 3 assists, Antetokounmpo scored 5 points, And Curry, who left the field early, did not score a point.
After a short rest, the second quarter started.
苏阳按照计划换上库里，让10/6/10/6的上场时间安排，变成6/10/10/6，而库里不负众望地带队打出10比4攻击波，吓得马刺那边提前把伦纳德换回来，但已经没用。
At halftime, the Kings led 64-39.
In terms of the two teams' three-pointers, the Kings only made 23 of 8 shots, but the Spurs stretched even further, only making 13 of 2 shots.
The Spurs made a rare 8 mistakes in the primary election, of which Paul actually made two, which was a serious abnormality, and the rebounds failed to win the Kings. Gay slipped to Antetokounmpo at the beginning of the game, which can be called a typical case of the Spurs' rebound protection problems. Fully exploded.
EPSN gave an analysis. Van Gundy said: "The Kings and Spurs almost adopt the same defensive strategy. The Kings focus on double-teaming Leonard. As long as Leonard enters the three-second zone, at least three Kings players will participate in the siege, and Leonard Those passes, Paul was 6-for-2, Danny Green was 5-for-6, plus Aldridge singled-in 2-for-25 and ended up trailing by [-] points."
Su Yang synchronously warned the king's generals in the locker room, don't be careless, 25 lead is indeed strong, but it is still the same.
Then the third quarter started.
The Spurs really played a strong counterattack. Leonard went down to earth. He made 9 of 5 individuals, 5 of 5 free throws, scored 15 points, 1 assist and 3 rebounds, but except for Leonard, the Spurs scored 17 of 9 and their defense was average. In general, let the Kings still score 2 points even though Curry, Brogdon, and Cousins all got 31 fouls, and only lost 8 points in a single quarter.
The Kings took a 17-point lead into the fourth quarter, played steadily, and finally defeated the Spurs 126 to 104.
In the whole game, a total of 8 players on the King's side scored in double figures. Antetokounmpo scored the highest 30 points, and Curry just scored 10 points, but had 8 assists.On the Spurs side, Leonard scored 31 points in the air, while Paul made 13 of 4 shots and could be called a Class A war criminal.
According to the schedule, the two teams had less than 48 hours to rest, and Su Yang led the team to set off overnight.
While flying to San Antonio, Twitter and other social media were hotly discussing topics related to the Western Conference finals, hoping to recruit the Spurs.
Some fans emphasized: "The Spurs look like the Big Three are very strong, but Adelaide is in poor form. Danny Green missed three-pointers throughout the playoffs. Gay's defense is very bad. In fact, only Leonard and Paul can play against the Spurs. Hit, the regular season is bluffing."
Some fans said: "Su Yang and Popovich are both tactical masters, but at the critical moment of the game, they also adopt the brainless strategy of double-teaming the main players and emptying the role players, and the depth of the King's lineup is better than that of the Spurs. As long as the start is smooth , basically crushed."
Happy New Year!
