Chapter 654. 654. The Germination of the Spurs' Change
At 6 minutes and 07 seconds into the second quarter, it entered the official timeout of the second quarter, and the score was 39 to 41. The Trail Blazers trailed the Spurs by two points, but had possession of the ball.

During this period, the Trail Blazers and the Spurs scored 7 to 11, and the disadvantage is quite obvious.

After the timeout, the Trail Blazers went up and down, and the outlaws did not move. Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Randolph, and McDyess entered the field.

The Spurs re-distributed the troika, plus Barry and Muhammad.

The Trail Blazers attacked and served the ball in the frontcourt. The extrajudicial lunatic received the ball from the top arc and protected it.

Liu Xiu received the ball and turned to the left. Ginobili retreated to the left and was blocked!McDyess' mid-range pick-and-roll!

After turning around, Liu Xiu stopped her feet and grabbed the ball, facing Muhammad who was thrown out, she fell back and made a mid-range shot...

Muhammad defended fiercely, did not stop the car and hit Liu Xiu, the referee blew his whistle, and Liu Xiu's shot also entered the frame, 2+1!

"General" has a mid-range shot +2 within 3 seconds after using the screen and "Lightning" has a mid-range shot +1 double shot bonus within 2 second after using the screen!
There is also the shooting speed bonus of 'Quick Shot'. After catching the ball, turning around and taking a step to make a pick-and-roll shot, it is judged as a catch-and-shoot by the system!Got a double bonus 20% shooting speed bonus!

This ball is a trick that Liu Xiuxue learned from Parker. Before receiving the ball, the Spurs have prepared a pick and roll for Parker. Parker can turn around and use the screen to break through after receiving the ball.

Liu Xiu had agreed with McDyess to play this way before he went on the court. The difference is that he chooses a mid-range shot, and Parker, the most offensive frame-type point guard on the surface, usually chooses to shoot under the basket.

Liu Xiu went to the free throw line and made an extra penalty, 42 to 41, and the Trail Blazers went ahead by 1 point!
After resting for half a quarter without playing, Liu Xiu had time to observe the details of the Spurs' defense tonight, and more importantly, was not consumed in the hand-to-hand battle in the first half of the quarter!
The same goes for Ray Allen and McDyess!
Randolph is a locked link in the Spurs' defensive strategy. After resting for so long, he has no chance in singles, but it doesn't matter. As far as Randolph has enough physical strength, he can rush for offensive rebounds if he can't play in singles. .

Ray Allen and McDyess didn't feel consumed, and they did a good job of catching up and shooting, and the containment force was quickly reflected...

Under such conditions, Liu Xiu scored 7 points in the second half of the second quarter, leading the Blazers to score 15 points in the half quarter!
With the current lineup of the Blazers, the defense is definitely not as good as the first half.

but!The Spurs' offensive efficiency did not improve as sharply as the Trail Blazers in the next five minutes or so. Instead, they continued their scoring efficiency in the first half of the quarter and only scored 5 points.

After halftime, the Trail Blazers overtook the Spurs 54 to 51 and entered the intermission by 3 points!
The whistle sounded for the end of the second quarter, and the vice president's frown finally eased.

On the way to the player tunnel, the vice president said to the coach: "The Spurs are strong and stable, and now they are overtaken because they are too stable. Their offensive performance did not decline much in the first half. Although they only scored 11 points, they are already better than us. The 7 points are much better, but in the second half of the quarter when we focused on offense, they couldn't defend against Jayce's offense, and at the same time they couldn't start the offense, and only scored 10 points in the half quarter..."

The coach teased: "You didn't say that when we fell behind just now, and you were still complaining about my adjustment mistakes."

The vice president continued to analyze in hindsight: "The Spurs are too stable and too strong. If we use a steady and steady strategy to deal with them, unless we are in a good state to suppress them, we will definitely be dragged into their team." Rhythm, no team is their opponent with that style of play.

Our style of play just now was very effective and disrupted the opponent's rhythm. When we meet the Spurs in the playoffs in the future, this can become our main choice of play. "

When we got down to business, the coach also got serious, and he shook his head: "This strategy is still not good enough, we haven't really played the advantage, leading by 3 points, Ginobili can catch up with one goal.

And we just made good use of the depth of our lineup to create a period of time for a difference in state. The opponent's reaction is a bit slower, and the effect of this trick may not be so good in the next match. Their lineup depth is no better than ours. Difference! "

Hearing this, the vice president spewed out Hiet.

Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Nesterovic, Muhammad, Bowen, Barry, Van Exel, Horry, Finley, Udri, Oberto and other 12-member Spurs The core lineup can be called luxurious!

After the Trail Blazers won the championship last summer, the Spurs were favored by veterans who wanted the championship during the offseason. After Finley was pardoned by the Mavericks, the Trail Blazers also tried to fight for it, but they were rejected. The former Jordan successor only had the Spurs in his eyes Team.

After the All-Star Weekend, the Spurs also ran to pick up their skins. The Hornets, a team that couldn't squeeze out any oil, the Spurs froze and pulled back a Van Exel.

But this is not the reason why the vice president scolded the street.

In terms of the luxury of the lineup, the Trail Blazers and Mavericks, as well as the Knicks, whose player names and salaries seem to be number one in the world, are the most luxurious.

The key is salary...

The vice president was twitching: "Ginobili and Parker both got second contracts, and they still don't have to pay taxes!"

The coach is also painful: "Yeah, Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, the combined salary of the three of them is less than 3200 million. Last season, the combined salary of our three substitutes, the flying mouse, the bishop, and the glove, was more than 3300 million. ..."

...

Back from the halftime break, the Trail Blazers sent a combination of Flying Squirrel, Liu Xiu, Ray Allen, Stevenson, Raheem, and McDyess; the Spurs sent Van Exel, Ginobili , Barry, Oberto, Nesterovic combination.

Maurice Cheeks looked at Popovich on the opposite side after seeing the outside trio on the opposite side, quite surprised.

This guy has become more courageous?

It's fine with a demon sword, but he even replaced Crazy Fan with it!
Fortunately, he was going to rush in the third quarter and sent Little Flying Squirrel, otherwise the warden would have to suffer a disadvantage in dealing with two wave ratios by himself.

On the court, Little Flying Squirrel + Warden, met Madman Fan + Demon Sword, the four of them were fighting high!
At the beginning of the third quarter, the Spurs took the lead.

Ginobili singled Stevenson and broke through from the left. Liu Xiu came in and blocked Ginobili on the left sideline of the three-second zone. Ginobili scored the ball to Barry in the left corner, and Barry received the ball Three points hit!
54 to 54, the Spurs tied the score.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Trail Blazers started the game of breakthrough points + auxiliary control, the small flying mouse is the main attack, singles Van Exel, and takes a two-pointer with a step back... The shot is beautiful and the angle is also very positive, but the ball is in the basket It turned around and fell out, it's iron!
