NBA: Duncan feels uneasy coaching Warriors

Chapter 7 23 Seconds Last Attack

Not just defensively, but also offensively.

Barnes seems to be a player who can shoot and defend suddenly, but in fact, it really just looks like it.

His shooting is below average for a shooter and he can't be a shooter.

Breakthrough is not strong enough, it is easy to abuse food, but it is timid when facing the defense level.

Moreover, his ability to organize the ball is relatively poor. Once he encounters a double-team, he can be regarded as good if he can make no mistakes.

On the other hand, Klay Thompson is a player who has made it to the best defensive second team. It is within his business scope to defend against Ginobili who is not strong enough.

The reason why Clay was not allowed to defend was because Clay had to take on the heavy responsibility of offense. Su Chen wanted Clay to save some energy on the defensive end.

Now it's time to win.

However, Su Chen didn't call for a timeout, and went to tell Thompson what to do, it was all up to Thompson himself.

He still has a timeout, but it is impossible for him to call it in the current situation. The call is to call a timeout for Popovich.

Ginobili holds the ball.

Klay Thompson was also very serious at this time, and he signaled his teammates behind him not to make up defenses and be optimistic about his own people, he wanted to defend alone.

When the teammates saw Thompson's attitude, they were all optimistic about their own people.

Originally, Duncan wanted to attract defense for Ginobili, but seeing that the rest of the Warriors didn't care about Ginobili at all, he gave way.

At this time, both players expressed their trust in their teammates.

The Spurs trust Ginobili's singles, and the Warriors trust Thompson's defense.

Ginobili first made two tentative moves, and his tentative moves were very deceptive. He was nicknamed the Demon Sword because of his elusive attack.

But at such a critical moment, Thompson was calmer than expected.

Two consecutive trial steps have not been shaken.

In fact, what Thompson is best at is making breakthroughs, and he has a high defensive IQ.

What Thompson is afraid of is Anthony's strong singles player. Sometimes he knows what Anthony is going to do, but Anthony's oppression with a strong body is simply unstoppable.

Ginobili and Parker are both skilled, which is in Thompson's arms.

Ginobili saw that Thompson did not move for two consecutive tentative steps, so he simply made a faster breakthrough in the third tentative step.

Thompson took small steps and still did not lose his position.

At this time, Ginobili made a big bad luck and wanted to cheat.

But Thompson still didn't eat the feint.

But just when Ginobili wanted to make a second big bad luck, Thompson predicted it, and Thompson didn't know where he had the courage to do it.

You know, if you don't succeed in this move, you will lose your position and be scored.

Thompson is going to take the blame!
But this time, it was really picked up by Thompson.

Parker is 31 years old, but Ginobili is 36 years old. If it is a young Ginobili, it will not be so easy for Thompson to get the ball.

The Spurs players were still watching Ginobili single-handedly, but the sudden steal prevented the Spurs players from following up immediately.

After Thompson got the ball, he directly steals a one-stop layup.

At such a critical moment, he didn't dare to show off anything.

Put the ball in firmly.

Spurs 93:93 Warriors.

tied!
After the 18-point difference between the two teams, they tied for the first time.

Ginobili fell to the ground, watching Thompson steal his one-stop layup, quite a bit of a hero's twilight.

When he had flowing long hair, he often completed such steals and then became a dragon.

The difference is that he will also show a slam dunk, unlike this young guy who just gently puts it into the basket.

The Spurs didn't take a timeout.

It can only rely on the players' own adjustments.

The critical moment is still Duncan.

He faced the double-teaming of Ezeri and Green and forced a layup.

Although he didn't make a hit, he got a foul free throw.

After Duncan made a foul, he directly slapped the floor on the spot, as if he wanted to rekindle the morale of his teammates with this behavior.

"Tim Duncan, who has always been expressionless, is impatient at this moment."

The on-site commentary is also an old commentary.

It was the first time he saw Duncan in such a mood.

It's a pity that Duncan missed the second free throw and made one of two free throws at the critical moment.

Spurs 94:93 Warriors.

The Spurs lead again, albeit by a paltry point.

"Defense"

"Defense"

"Defense"

In the AT&T Center Arena, all the Spurs fans stood up and shouted rhythmically.

It seems that the determination of the fans affected the Spurs players, and everyone tried their best to defend.

The tactic ran very hard this time.

Even at the end of 24 seconds, Thompson found a not-so-good opportunity.

clang!
It's hard.

The Warriors didn't have anyone to rebound, and everyone defended quickly.

The time has entered within 50 seconds.

The Spurs did not rush to attack, they are now leading by one point.

Ginobili holds the ball and kills the clock.

In the last eight seconds, the ball was handed over to Duncan.

Duncan made a free throw to give the Spurs the lead in the last round, and now they trust Duncan and let Duncan continue to play.

Duncan ran his back directly into it.

Azeri is still quite strong, and the speed of Duncan's crushing was slowed down. This time, Green double-teamed resolutely.

Duncan was flanked again and his center of gravity was unstable, so he could only barely pass the ball.

Fortunately, Leonard has a pair of long arms, otherwise he would almost miss it.

And the time was less than 2 seconds, he didn't adjust, he could only shoot against Barnes.

No matter how unreliable Barnes is, at least he has enough height and wingspan, and Leonard doesn't have time to do anything.

This ball Barnes gave a strong interference.

The Spurs still defended quickly for fear of being converted by the Warriors.

The Spurs ran out 24 seconds, and with the basketball still in the air, it was exactly 23 seconds before Bogut got the rebound.

beep!
Without any hesitation, Su Chen called a timeout.

He stood up holding the tactical board, facing the direction of the bench, with a serious expression.

One point short, the last attack.

This does not exist to call a timeout for Popovich. Popovich doesn't know anything about him and has no way of guessing the tactics he will play.

Thompson was a little guilty. He didn't score that crucial goal just now, and felt that he had failed Su Chen's trust.

But Su Chen just patted Thompson on the shoulder, telling him not to care.

Su Chen clapped her hands to signal everyone to listen carefully.

"This tactic is not complicated, it is an Easy Ball (simple ball)."

Su Chen picked up the tactical board and began to draw.

What he wants to deploy is the Floppy (loose) tactic, which is not a tactic exclusive to the Warriors. Ten years later, almost every team will arrange such a standard tactic for shooters.
