Chapter 778 Blood Pressure Up



Chapter 778 Blood Pressure Up
NO.17 wakes up at noon and eats some boiled beans and roast beef casually. Su Yang tells the whole team to gather again.

There was no training, but the focus was on studying some new routines for the Spurs' second game to prepare for the third game.

"Generally speaking, the Spurs don't have many new routines, mainly focusing on Paul's off-ball running, but they actively use them less often, mainly because Danny Green, unlike Manu Ginobili, can Take the ball well across the half court and conduct follow-up transmission. The Spurs still focus on Paul holding the ball to launch the offense, even if there will be off-ball running after the transmission..."

According to Su Yang's observation, Paul used some routines that Parker used to use before, such as passing the ball at the top of the arc at halftime, then crossing the free throw line with the help of a screen, running to the other side to receive a pass back, and then linking up with the pick-and-roll attack, which is typical. Parker period routines.

Of course Paul can play those routines, but it’s a pity that Danny Green is not Manu Ginobili, so it’s difficult to attack with the ball efficiently. As a result, the power of such routines is automatically reduced by half. The Kings are too familiar with it after many years of fighting, and it is difficult to be distracted. .

Once Paul takes the ball again to launch a pick-and-roll, the Kings will be able to grab the delay + weak-side rotation, forcing the Spurs to pass the ball more and take more shots that are not open. Vicious circle of rhythm.

"Tomorrow night's game, we need to show 120% momentum. Taking advantage of the short rotation of the Spurs to rest for a day, they have not fully recovered mentally and physically. "

After Su Yang finished speaking, Antetokounmpo, Curry and others nodded in agreement.

The Spurs were reversed in one game and suffered a disastrous defeat. The energy and physical strength were seriously exhausted. In addition, Adelaide, Paul, Gay, Gasol and others are all veterans. It is very difficult to recover within a day. , It is a good opportunity to crush the Spurs in a wave.

The Kings are also tired, but they have a winning streak and are younger overall, so they can grind their teeth and fight hard. If they win, they will lay the foundation.

"So happy to decide!"

Su Yang clapped his hands to indicate that the whole team went to the training ground that had been rented in advance. They kept their shots and did not do intensive training.

In the evening, the whole team watched the Eastern Conference Finals at the hotel, and the Celtics beat the Raptors again, leading 2-0 as well, with obvious form.

"If we play against the Celtics in the finals, it will be very interesting. I want to see Coach Su Yang and Coach Stevens discuss tactics, especially the use of Thomas. Some reporters will definitely ask the two coaches of Thomas. difference..."

Between Cousins' words, his face was filled with anticipation. Curry and others subconsciously looked at Su Yang, waiting for his reply.

Su Yang shrugged slightly: "What kind of tactics are we going to discuss? Our lineup is crushing. We have a super center like you. If it's against Boston, you alone can beat them to the ground. We just need to cheer for you from the sidelines." Just do it!"

Curry and others laughed out loud, but Cousins ​​nodded thoughtfully, "I think so too!"

Su Yang also laughed.I'm not kidding, the team and style of play of Lukai are most afraid of superstars, and the king has three.

The next day, No. 18, the third game of the playoffs between the Kings and the Spurs started at the ATT Center in San Antonio.

The two teams did not make lineup changes.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the King won the jump ball. Curry led the first attack across the center line, and the Spurs resolutely executed double-teaming. It took off, but it was a pity that it hit the iron with a bang.

Turning to the Spurs to attack, Paul handed the ball to Guy from the backcourt, then turned to rush to the left side of the frontcourt at 45 degrees, with the help of Aldridge and Renner to cover the cover on both sides of the free throw line, run to the right, do 'Iverson Cross' runs, but in the middle of the run, he suddenly gave up Leonard's cover, stopped abruptly, turned around and rushed directly to the basket, and forced 'Iverson Cross' to run into an elevator door tactic.

Gay simultaneously passed the ball to Adelaide on his left elbow, and Adelaide hit the ground straight into the paint area, and Paul received the ball wide open.

Curry, who was in charge of chasing Paul, was completely blocked by Leonard and his teammate Tatum. Seeing that he was about to be unable to catch up, Brogdon hurriedly retracted from the left corner to defend, but Paul seemed to be prepared. Pass the ball to Green who is wide open.

The three-pointer suddenly flew into the air, and it hit the iron with a bang.

Su Yang curled his lips slightly when he saw this, and thought: "This is Paul's off-ball tactics, which is indeed confusing, but he is too pursuing efficiency. He should have forced a layup against Brogdon just now. His pass is not good. Knowing that I thought it was Westbrook's assist..."

While thinking about it, the king launched a counterattack. Antetokounmpo rushed forward and started three steps with the top of the front arc. He hit the rebound and scored two points beyond the limit.

"Antetokounmpo scored this time compared with Paul's pass just now. Although it took a lot of effort, the whole team's momentum was instantly displayed! The European step lifted the ball around the top and forced it through the two people. It was so fucking explosive. The far three points bring more intense feeling!"

The offensive and defensive transition on the court, Paul dribbled the ball across the half, the Spurs started with a five-out formation, and Alder over caught the ball at the top of the arc.

The basketball was split to the right, and Gay rushed forward with the ball. He stopped at the right waist and half turned and shook to trick Brother Antetokounmpo, hitting the board and scoring a goal.

"Gay is suitable for this kind of one-on-one, and Popovich finally allows him to play like that, which is much better than letting Gay run off the ball..."

The Kings changed sides to attack, and they started with the same five-out formation. Facing the Spurs' full pressure on the line and partial double-teaming, the basketball passed to Cousins ​​at the 45-degree three-point line on the left. Unfortunately, this time, Cousins ​​also hit the iron with a three-pointer. It seems to have forgotten Su Yang's previous arrangement.

"Come on, throw a fart!"

Su Yang thought that during the meeting, everyone would nod in agreement to rush more, but if he fell into the position and got an open space, the whole team was more inclined to shoot.

The offensive and defensive transition on the court, Leonard dashed with the ball, attracting the three kings to encircle him, then stopped suddenly and threw the ball to the top of the arc.

Adelaide received the ball wide open, facing Cousins ​​back and throwing a three-pointer, the basketball slammed into the circle and bounced into the net.

The ATT center suddenly burst into cheers.

Su Yang felt a little bad at the first time. Adelaide's three-pointer may open up the Spurs' offensive touch.

Just thinking about it, Curry rushed into the paint area, instinctively raised his hand with the ball, but Danny Green had quick eyes and quick hands, and he slapped the ball away, and flew to the sideline to save the ball, helping Adelaide to catch the basketball on the baseline. The Spurs then launched a fast-break counterattack.

The shouts of more than 8000 fans burst into flames.

I saw Gay received the pass from Paul in the middle line, and rushed like a pig to the basket in the front court, forcing Cousins ​​to foul.

Cheers resounded through the arena again and ignited.

"Broken, broken!"

Su Yang frowned slightly, knowing that the Spurs were bursting with momentum. Should they pause and adjust slightly, or wait for Curry and the others to respond?There are pros and cons to both options. I was about to make a choice, but when I saw Gay hit the iron with a free throw, I immediately decided to wait.

The audience cheered again, and Gay made a second free throw.

The Kings took the ball from the bottom line to launch an attack, pick and roll on the left side of the frontcourt, Curry misplaced against Aldridge, broke through to attract the defense, and then passed the ball to the top of the arc. With a three-pointer, the basketball slammed into the net.

Cheers erupted from the bench.

Su Yang curled his lips slightly, thinking that if he shoots three-pointers so resolutely and has such a high shooting percentage, it's okay not to rush.

The game continued on the court, and Su Yang sat down to watch.

Spurs Paul hit the iron with a three-pointer, King Antetokounmpo got the ball and was double-teamed, Cousins ​​made a mistake in the inside pass, Spurs Leonard counterattacked and scored a dunk, King Curry was double-teamed, Cousin hit the iron with a three-pointer, Spurs Alder and Paul Quick down, trailing screen, and then hit a three-pointer...

Between you and me, the Kings trailed 5-16, Su Yang couldn't sit still, got up and gestured at the referee, asking for a timeout.

"TNND, Adelaide, who stretched the span in the first two games, started this game in less than 5 minutes, with 6 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds.

And our side has 7 strikes, including [-] three-point strikes, [-] fouls, and [-] turnovers. Is it because the Spurs only blow their players? "Su Yang felt his blood pressure soar, and the king played like an egg at the beginning, which was a little self-inflicted.

 The name of the new book has already been thought of, "You guys better double-team me", are you interested just by the name?
