Chapter 782 The Good Show Is About to Begin
Since Leonard was hit for three fouls, the Spurs have become more cautious. They are worried about the former four fouls.

Originally, Leonard needed to consider all possibilities, but now, he only needs to defend Wei Xia's shots.

On the other side, the Spurs' three-pointers rained suddenly.

Green ran a hammer tactic to attract help defense and hit the ground to Duncan.

Duncan made the appearance of attacking the basket, but in fact it was just a trick to deceive the eyes, and the real purpose was not here.

But Duncan's approach attracted a lot of attention for the Spurs. When he distributed the ball to Parker at the top of the arc, the 76ers continued to rotate defensively, and finally missed Leonard on the other side.

From the outside line on the left wing, Leonard hit a three-pointer.

47 to 48, the Spurs are still 1 point behind.

However, the situation is no longer the same as before. Wei Xia singled out the frontcourt, and was affected by Leonard's long arm in the middle distance. He missed the strike and the Spurs completed their counterattack.

49 is better than 48
Cousins ​​hit a well-timed shot.

His offense started from the right wing, and he dribbled and broke through. Duncan didn't expect him to have the courage to rush in regardless of the pile of people under the basket, and he made it.

Cousins ​​came in with the ball and directly dunked the basket with both hands.

50 is better than 49
The Spurs were equally unrelenting, and Parker passed a difficult lob to Duncan.

When Duncan got the ball, he blocked Cousins ​​just behind him, and then the ball was lifted from his hands and gently placed into the basket.

Hold high and fight high, the eternal insider philosophy.

There are two insiders who have used the advantages of this trick most prominently in history, one is Chamberlain and the other is Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.Especially the former, even if you don't look at Chamberlain's animal-level athletic talent, his height and arm length were at the level of a phoenix throughout the 60s.Even if he doesn't jump and holds the ball high, few people can interfere. If it weren't for his old man who loves iron-blooded turnaround shots, and humbly brushes offensive rebounds like Bill Russell and hits high high, Lukay's champions would lose a few champions.

Next, the 76ers' offensive opportunity hit Hayward's position. The tactics ran beautifully, but they were not well completed.

Hayward catches the ball and misses it.

Since the Eastern Conference finals, Hayward's touch has been unstable, far from the state of the first round and semifinals.

The Spurs' counterattack didn't come out, and Green made a long shot and hit it again.

It feels hot to the touch, and it really does matter how you cast it.

54 is better than 50
Back and forth, the Spurs established a 4-point lead.

The 76ers want to fight back and continue the previous offensive firepower, because the Spurs' offensive is like a continuous tide.

As a result, Rondo was emptied and he chose to shoot.

Missed, the teammate grabbed the rebound and passed it to Wei Xia on one side.

Leonard was worried about the four offenses, and his defense against Wei Xia was much lax than before, so he actually gave Wei Xia an open space.Wei Xia inherited the touch of his teammates and missed a three-pointer.

The Spurs didn't play fast breaks, they took the initiative to slow down, allowing Duncan to keep up with the main force.

Big men who can keep up with the counter will always be able to effectively use their size and height advantages to finish.

Duncan counterattacked and scored, 56 to 50.

The 76ers' touch shows no signs of easing up. They can play tactics and have surprising tactical literacy. Although they are not as smooth as the Spurs, they cannot be ignored.

However, no matter what the tactic is, if you can't grasp the opportunity that comes out, the previous efforts will be in vain.

The process is very important, but the result is the only indicator that determines the value of the process.

The 76ers missed again, and the Spurs turned out to be Duncan's fast break again.

Their ball movement worked, as Duncan got the ball in the paint and collided with Cousins.Their bodies were obviously a lot different. Cousins ​​was young and strong, and he was fighting with all his strength. Old Dengtou acted like an unscrupulous old hooligan who touched porcelain on the street, lying on the ground and letting the referee whistle.

The referee blew his whistle immediately, and Duncan got two free throw opportunities.

"I feel their form is coming back, yes, all back!"

Sean Elliott breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's really a cold sweat, these guys."

Duncan made only one free throw and missed the second. Diaw and Hollins rushed together.He knew he couldn't grab it, but he didn't let Hollins grab it, and cleverly pushed the ball a little out of bounds, out of bounds.

The rebound went out of bounds, and although the ball belonged to the 76ers, they couldn't counterattack, and the Spurs' goal was achieved.

57 is better than 50
The morale of the Spurs was getting higher and higher. Cousins ​​completely lost his aggressiveness in the game after being plagued by consecutive fouls and pincers.According to the previous routine of the 76ers, the dual-core team should each take on the responsibility of leading the team alone.But tonight's situation is that as long as Weixia ceases fire or ends the game, the 76ers will lose the ability to put pressure on their opponents.

Rondo, who can usually connect the team together, made many wrong decisions when his peripheral shots were emptied and completely failed.

If Lian Weixia suddenly can't find the touch, the crisis for the 76ers will come.

That's what happened late in the first half.

The 76ers missed a goal and were caught by the Spurs in a row. They were 67 points behind 54 to 13 at halftime.

In the first half, Wei Xia played 22 minutes.

So far this season, he has played that long in the first half for the first time.

This timing is not in line with Jay Wright's usual style.

Wright is no longer the NCAA rookie who will "forget" to replace Weixia. He knows that the core players must be healthy in order to maintain the competitiveness of the team.

Although Wei Xia is very durable, in the four seasons before Wright came, he did not have full attendance in one season, and there was not a season in which he was not the player who played the most minutes in the league and undertook the most offensive and defensive pressure.

It is precisely because he is so durable that he must be well protected.

He has to use his energy for something meaningful.

Perhaps today is why Wright allowed him to accumulate energy for so long.

He had to pour out his energy on this special day.

"Wish, how do you adjust for the second half?"

Before Wei Xia walked into the player tunnel, the reporter put the microphone in front of him.

"Throw in the missed shots, and try to make the Spurs miss more shots." Wei Xia said, "Only in this way can we turn defeat into victory."

After all, he walked into the locker room.

In the locker room, Wright had a rare tantrum: "We played like a mob without any game plan!"

He reprimanded Rondo, who cared too much about the opponent's shorting strategy and forgot his real duty.

Also expressed dissatisfaction with Cousins, let Duncan have 16 points and 7 rebounds in the half, what's the face of a center?
"We must not be caught without a fight!" Wright then decided to start the second half.

Compared with the first half, the starting in the second half is simply a huge change.

Nash, Wesha, Holiday, Hayward, Cousins.

Today, Wright has upgraded his four-back tactics to a more flexible 41 system.

In this system, there may be four guards, or three forwards, or three tall swingmen. What kind of lineup depends on the opponent.

Now this lineup, a lineup that can shoot from all five positions, is to create space on the court.

If Weixia wants to be singled out, Nash, Hayward, and Cousins ​​can create a comfortable space.

Five minutes before the start of the second half, the 5ers returned to the scene.

13 points is not a desperate number.

It would be hopeless if their second half was as bad as it was in the first half.

"We've seen a change in the Sixers."

"Amazing change, they benched Rajon Rondo and put Gordon Hayward at the [-]?"

The Spurs' home commentators expressed surprise at the changes in the 76ers one sentence after another.

It's not that the 76ers didn't play the 41 system before, but they never played at the beginning of the first half.

"When the coach picked this lineup, I knew we had to count on you."

Steve Nash spoke to Wescia in the backcourt.

"I'm very honored." Wei Xia replied modestly.

Then, in the first round of the second half, the ball belonged to the Spurs.

No one could have imagined that they would give Leonard the first opportunity to attack in the second half.

Generally, they will give Duncan.

Because Duncan was in the finals, as long as he was in the opening stage and when he was physically strong, he was always able to attack with the ball.

He beat Cousins ​​again tonight, and it makes sense to start the second half with him.

But given to Leonard, from another perspective, it is by no means unacceptable.

Leonard called out Duncan for a pick-and-roll, and Shifo's body firmly stuck Wei Xia.

Leonard scored the basket with the ball and started slowly.Suddenly, he stopped under the basket and swayed the ball.Cousins ​​took a fake move, and Leonard jumped up and hit the board lightly to score.

At this time in 2014, few people noticed that Leonard was playing at a strange rhythm.

Isn't that bad?Of course it's not bad. One day when he becomes a superstar with both offense and defense, this unique rhythm will become the key to his dominance of the game.

Nash dribbled the ball across half court.

At that time, Wei Xia was walking outside the three-point line on the left.

Suddenly, Nash's ball passed into Wei Xia's hands.

Nash stands at the top of the arc, Hayward pulls away from the left corner, Holiday pulls away from the right corner, and Cousins ​​retreats outside the paint area on the right.

Unless Cousins ​​can pull beyond the three-point line, otherwise, this is the widest space that Wecha can have.

Faced with this, if James saw it, he would be excited to kill inwards, thus squashing the Spurs' space. What is Wei Xia's reaction?
He didn't care, looking at Leonard standing on the three-point line to prevent him from breaking through one meter away, he suddenly received the ball, pulled it up to a height of more than 90 centimeters, and forced a three-pointer.

The infinitely good touch makes people believe that the ball will shoot through the net.

"Shhh!!"

57 is better than 69
"Kawhi, the show is about to begin," Wei Xia said.
