Chapter 466 The Spurs' Scale of Victory

The conflict came and went quickly. The interlude of the game ended, Monty was carried away, Garnett ran away, and the game still had to continue. Compared with the Spurs... Monty was originally a substitute and was forced to leave the game It's not a big problem, after all, Smith has also rested for two quarters, and his mentality and physical fitness are enough to cope, but it is a bit embarrassing for the Mavericks to play the main fourth position.

To be honest, it is still unwise to have conflicts in the playoffs, especially Garnett's boxing is fatal, and thinking of the next few games, this makes Gordon's face turn green outside the court, because Garnett is The Mavericks gave Li Shengli the first boost inside, without him, the Mavericks would have to downshift offensively and defensively.

……

In the last quarter, the Mavericks attacked first.

Kidd was organized on the outside, and Garnett was replaced by Jones and Charles. As for the center position, Robinson directly gave up the position of going around the front and stuck Li Shengli. He knew that Li Shengli's mid-range shot was weak, and it was better not to circle around the penalty area.

"It's finally over!" Taking advantage of the confrontation, Robinson gritted his teeth and exerted his strength. "Without Garnett, you couldn't beat us by more than 10 points in three quarters. Now that he is gone, you should lose."

Lose you a wool ah lose!

We've made it to the playoffs, who doesn't have a contingency plan?

Li Shengli didn't take Robinson's ridicule seriously. Although Garnett was right, it doesn't mean that the 13-point lead can be recovered by the Spurs in one quarter. Jones, who came off the bench, is indeed not as good as Garnett's offense and defense. There are also merits.

Under different tactical arrangements, as long as this advantage can be brought into play, it is not necessarily inferior to the first-line players, and the players in the system are probably like this... It may not be brilliant if it is singled out, but it can be used to the extreme under specific tactics.

"You really think you've won? Jones, come on!"

"coming!"

Li Shengli yelled and ran to a high position to ask for the ball.

Jones immediately went into the penalty area to catch the pass from Li Shengli, while Li Shengli pushed Robinson away, cut straight to the basket from a high position, got Jones' pass back again, kicked with his left foot, grabbed the ball with one hand with his right hand, and smashed the ball directly into the basket.

……

Seriously, anyone can see the whole offensive process... The Mavericks are playing according to the twin towers tactics, which is also Gordon's arrangement, and after a set of processes, there is not much cooperation in the middle The tacit understanding, but also efficient, made Popovich and Hill on the Spurs bench look weird.

"The opponent seems to be well prepared. After playing Garnett, they just changed their style of play?"

"Of course, this is already the Western Conference Finals, and everyone will consider various possibilities. But...it is not as easy as they think to play the Twin Towers offensively. Lee's offensive point is temporarily internal and external, plus Jones in the fourth position is not tall enough and not strong in singles..."

"Indeed, this attack just now is their ideal state of cooperation, and as you said, their fourth position is not qualified to join the Twin Towers, it is too easy to target, restricting this Jones, Lee...no use!"

"Hehe, it seems that the advantage of this match is already in our hands?"

"More than that, this one is the same, and the next one will be the same. Monty did a good job."

……

After the two talked a few words, Hill didn't even call a timeout. After all, the Spurs are a regular team in the playoffs, so there is no need for Hill to arrange defense, and the players on the court know how to do it.

You must know that the double-tower tactics emphasize the passing and receiving cooperation of the inside duo, so the requirements for the two towers are also high, not only the level of strength, physical fitness, and the ability to read the game, but also the ability to pass and receive the ball. ability.

Obviously, the Mavericks still had some reluctance to treat Jones as a tower, so Charles, who was in the fourth position on the Spurs side, went around and defended Jones directly, blocking Li Shengli's passing route, and this was reflected in every round.

……

"Jones!"

"Damn, I can't get a seat."

After Kidd gave the ball to Li Shengli, the Spurs Charles immediately launched a circle around Jones.As for Robinson...he didn't go around at all, and he was not afraid of Li Shengli's mid-range kills, but Li Shengli couldn't pass to Jones, and was chased from the outside, so he could only grit his teeth and push a certain distance to the basket, turning over. jump shot.

From the beginning of the two to the present, Li Shengli's advance against Robinson...is an advance, and Robinson can't stop his rhythm, but the problem is that Robinson is completely different from a second-rate center, so the speed of this advance has slowed down a lot. The risk of stealing has also increased, and this time the turnaround jump shot continued the previous problems, the right shoulder was biased, and the trajectory of the shot was also deviated accordingly, which was ironed.

Back to the Spurs offense.

Robinson has a back injury, which is not good for melee insiders, but his mid-range turnaround jumper is still stable, and he didn't make a fancy one, even if he just missed... Li Shengli defended at the mid-range position, and the defensive rebound at the basket must be from both sides The fourth position was the first to arrive. Jones is not as good as Charles, and it is very likely that he will be attacked twice.

……

With Garnett's exit, the Mavericks' inside disadvantage has been infinitely expanded. It is difficult for Li Shengli to deal with this situation alone. Although the defense is not a big problem for the time being, but in terms of offense... the inside shot has a tendency to shift outward.

Under the ebb and flow, the Spurs' offense rose, but the Mavericks slowed down, so until halfway through the final quarter... The 13-point difference has been narrowed to 5 points, and the victory balance has accelerated to tilt towards the Spurs.

"Hold on, hold on to me!" Gordon called a timeout and was about to make a substitution.

"Jones, you play how you want to play. The defense has to show me Charles, and you run with him when you attack. Wait for Lee to pass the ball to you. McLeod, you... Crotty, you We will replace McLeod in a while. The Spurs’ offense no longer requires us to defend too much from the outside. You need to find opportunities to shoot more. And you are Curry. Now is the time for you to play the main offense. Kidd will cooperate with you of."

"Okay!" Several people who received the order replied in unison.

"Li, can you still hold it?" Gordon glanced at Li Shengli. Others still have rotations, but Li Shengli can't, otherwise Robinson will definitely not be able to hold him down. Played for nearly 38 minutes.

"I'm fine, just tell me."

"Okay, you will try to reduce your shots except for the basket for a while, and guarantee rebounds for everyone. As for the backcourt rebounds... Robinson's shot is wide, and your position to defend him is destined to be unfavorable for the first rush, so the speed of offensive and defensive transitions Be sure to mention it, I know it will consume you a lot, but we have no other choice, I don't want to lose this game!"

"I'm fine!" Li Shengli replied.

"Coach, you still want us to speed up? But the problem is that if our three guards go up, the defense at the third position will suffer!" Curry frowned.

"No way, Robinson's efficiency with Charles is very stable. Even if their shots are transferred to the third position, the situation can't be worse than it is now, so... Just hit directly, Crotty, you go to the third position, Defend if you can, and don’t give in if you can’t.”

"Okay, it's time, let's go!" Li Shengli got up and walked to the field, while Kidd, Curry, and Crotty followed closely behind, playing the last half of the quarter.
