You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 764 I really don't want to call back at all

The 76ers' offense was like boiling water, out of control.

They scored 43 points in a single quarter, which is the record for scoring in a single quarter in the history of the NBA Finals.

Their opponent, the San Antonio Spurs, did their best. In terms of on-the-spot performance and shooting percentage, they were the best in the three games, but compared with the berserk 76ers, there is still a big gap.

30 is better than 43
A 13-point deficit is really not good for the team at home.

"We all know that the Spurs' defense is among the top four in the league, but today they allowed the 76ers to score 43 points in a single quarter." Mark Jackson shook his head in admiration, "This is the Finals, gentlemen!"

Marv Albert has spent most of his life in the commentary booth.

He has commented on many finals, but today's game is also unprecedented.

"The 76ers probably played the best single-quarter performance in the history of the Finals."

"When we mentioned the 76ers before, we would talk about Wish, DeMarcus Cousins, Gordon Hayward and Rajon Rondo, but today it was not a certain player who scored 43 points in a single quarter, but the Philadelphia 76ers. That is a whole team!" Jeff Van Gundy said happily.

In the second quarter, the Spurs adjusted their lineup to Mills, Ginobili, Diaw, Splitter and Leonard.

At the beginning, they played a beautiful offense.

First, the classic four-second three-pass, the ball from the right wing to the top of the arc and then to the left wing.Everyone is thinking clearly, Splitter on the left uses his body as a screen, and then hand-offs the ball to Mills.

Mills rained down on the 76ers' defense.

No one thought that Ginobili would cut in front from the outside, and everyone's attention was on the Australian.

Mills passed the ball suddenly, and Ginobili had already reached the danger zone. He unsheathed his demon knife and used an ordinary layup to bring this gorgeous positional battle to a successful conclusion.

32 is better than 43
"Honestly, I really enjoy watching them play."

The second of the 76ers' Big Three is resting off the court.

Hayward said, Wei Xia nodded slightly.This year's Spurs have indeed played the most beautiful team basketball in modern times.

The last team to play like them was probably the Lakers in 1987 and the Celtics in 1986.

But in those two teams, there were five All-Stars, and there were even two All-Star substitutes sitting off the court. It was not so much a great team basketball, but a chemical reaction created by a group of stars who followed their positions and sacrificed their own shots.

And this Spurs, apart from GDP, has no so-called stars.

But both of them in GDP are getting old, and Parker is not at his peak anymore.

Switching to other teams in the same situation is an irreversible downward trend, but the Spurs ushered in another peak of the GDP era.

The 76ers' lineup is led by Cousins.

One of the biggest lessons for the Sixers from the Game 2 loss is never to let the team's three best players sit on the sidelines at the same time.

During the regular season, it may be possible to do this, but in the finals, it is facing the champion of the other half of the region, so it would be a bit arrogant to do it again.

Therefore, Wright asked Cousins ​​to lead the second team to play the first and second quarters.

Cooperating with him on the court are Nash, Holiday, Robertson and Odom.

Nash decisively hit the ball into Cousins' hands.

He turned over Splitter's defense and, even if it didn't work, dominated the offensive glass with another level of talent.

He hit the rebound four or five times in a row at the rim.

Then, a heavy putback dunk silenced the Spurs' penalty area.

45 is better than 32
Then, the Spurs once again used their pass ball to create a scoring opportunity.

Leonard tries to break through the dribble, which is rare because his ball-handling skills have not yet reached the point where he can initiate tactics.He looked like he could be tackled at any moment, but the ball was passed successfully.

Mills on the weak side catches the ball and rushes forward.

When the Australian broke into the penalty area, Leonard had already gone to the outside line, so he passed the ball.Robertson rushed to Leonard at the fastest speed, and he was also a 3D with strong physical fitness and rough technology. The latter had already made great strides towards the All-Star, and Robertson may never take that step.

Leonard's corner three-pointer was fired directly.

"Shh!"

35 is better than 45
The Spurs are chasing after them, even without the main lineup on the court, they are still chasing points.

The second teams of the two teams have proved time and time again that these are the two strongest teams this season.

Even in the confrontation of the second team, they are all dog-toothed, and no one side can gain an advantage because of this.

When the Spurs' tactics were sublimated to this point, Steve Nash may have thought of those difficult years when he was suppressed by the silver and black army.

The 76ers' tactics couldn't be opened for a while.

Cousins ​​stepped forward to pick and roll under the guidance of Nash's gesture.

Nash took Cousins' body, dribbled the ball to find an open spot, and the Spurs' defense couldn't keep up, so he made a bold shot.

The high-flying three-pointer actually hit the board!
48 is better than 35
Even the best tactical literacy will encounter similar problems, for example, what should I do if I can’t play tactics?
Nash's three-pointer just now was the answer.

Tactics are not good, of course it can only be compared with personal ability.

With the Spurs' current lineup, the most stable singles player is Splitter.

This time, their pass ball didn't have the opportunities they expected.They can only pass the ball to the Brazilian.

What the Brazilian did to Cousins ​​next will be familiar to some Chinese fans.He leaned in, then spun like a spinning top to find a neutral position.

Cousins ​​was taught single-handed defense by Hayes for two years. Even though he only learned superficially, he also understood that no matter what his movements are, he should not jump in the face of such an inside line whose physical condition is not as good as his own!don't jump!Don't even jump!
Splitter wobbled for a long time but failed to get an absolute good chance, so he was forced to make a sideways big hook.

Cousins ​​jumps up to block the shot, completely covering him.

"boom!"

Split hits the iron.

"Wuhu!"

Odom flew to grab the rebound, followed by the 76ers' most familiar and favorite rhythm of the game.

Odom showed the demeanor of a left-handed magician, advancing in the middle, and when he reached the frontcourt, he suddenly gave Robertson an alley-oop.

Robertson took off to catch the ball and made a dunk.

50 is better than 35
A point difference of 15 points is a critical point.

Pull back and go straight to garbage time. In an era when the proportion of three-pointers is not as large as that of the small ball era, a point difference of 15 points can make people desperate.

The Spurs requested a timeout.

At this time, only three and a half minutes had passed in the second quarter.

"DeMarcus, come down and rest." Jay Wright held the roster in his hand, "Felix, Gordon, Ryan, you go on stage."

The 76ers replaced Robertson and Cousins.

The lineup changed to Wechat, Hayward, Nash, Odom and Hollins.

In terms of height, this is not a 41 system, but Odom's ability to grab backboards and advance to play fast breaks may be at the top ten level in the league, better than most teams' starting point guards.

This trait makes Odom's rotation priority in the Finals higher than Hollins, who shined in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the final analysis, it is the Spurs, the oldest team in the league, who are too afraid of the opponent's speed.

Jay Wright prescribes the right medicine, and his moves all fall on the pain points of the San Antonio people.

Now the 76ers have a 15-point advantage. As long as the Spurs can't withstand the pressure and lose a few rounds, the 76ers' counterattack will make them desperate.

Oddly enough, the Spurs didn't bring in Parker or Duncan, but instead brought in Danny Green.

They insisted on keeping the lineup on the field, and the only change was to expand the range of the outside line.

Today their three-pointer is hard to bloom, and the 76ers are too strangled.

Most of the shots they made were defensively in place, daring to shoot and score against the block.

Whoever defends this kind of ball will not have a better effect.

On the first possession after the timeout, they did an advanced pick-and-roll.

Splitter first used his back as a screen, then turned around, just as Ginobili dribbled over, made a pick-and-roll, and then opened and cut into the penalty area.

They played a successful play, Ginobili's ball hit the ground pass, Splitter hit the board against Hollins' help defense.

37 is better than 50
"See you again, Kawhi."

Wei Xia took special care of Leonard. In the first round of playing, he leaned against him tightly and asked for the ball.

Nash waved the others to scatter and lob the ball.

The moment Wei Xia caught the ball with one hand, he directly took a step backwards, and the momentum of shooting has been formed. No matter what Leonard's reaction is, it is reasonable.Jump forward, reasonable, because Wei Xia can shoot the ball.stand still.It is also reasonable, because Wei Xia can still test forward.

Wesha's shot threat forced Leonard to jump forward.

He jumped into the air, while Wei Xia stayed still. The completely different reactions of the two set the result for the offense and defense of this round.

Wei Xia's pivot foot remained unchanged, and the foot used to withdraw the step was inserted one step behind Leonard, and his right hand was thrown at the backboard at a 45-degree angle.

bang!

"If you've watched Kobe's game, you must have seen this move." Wei Xia exaggerated, "He scored at least 1000 points with this move."

52 is better than 37
Leonard's face may not have changed, but there are flames in his eyes, connected to his burning heart.

Wei Xia hit him a ball, and he wanted to hit it back, even if it destroyed the Spurs' smooth transfer of the ball.

When the ball came to him, the tactics stalled.

His teammates didn't complain, and stepped forward to give him a pick-and-roll.

Leonard wanted to pick and roll, but instead of breaking through, he dribbled the ball laterally, stepped on the three-point line and shot a Kobe-style long-distance two-pointer.

"Shh!"

After the goal was scored, he turned around silently, not at all excited or proud of the score just now.

"Don't give me the ball, believe me, I really don't want to hit it back at all." Wei Xia said to Nash with a smile.
