Chapter 161 Four Ways to Write Pick and Roll

Thunder bench.

Durant and the other five stood in front of Su Yang with confused faces, like elementary school students who were suddenly called to the office by the teacher.

Su Yang said calmly: "First, as long as you catch the ball wide open, even if you hit all the irons in the first fifty shots, you still have to stick to it; .

Third, when the offense is stagnant, let me run all of them. If the game does not run, then the training game will be doubled! "

After finishing speaking, Su Yang waved his hand to signal dismissal, and Sefoloza rushed to speak: "Coach, I'm sorry just now..."

"Me too..." Chandler hurriedly took over the conversation, and the two looked nervous, as if they thought Su Yang was very angry.

Westbrook and Durant looked at each other. In their memory, this was the first time Su Yang spoke so strongly.

Su Yang shook his head: "Don't think too much, it will be difficult to play at the Spurs' home court, and we must resolutely implement the strategy arranged before the game."

The short whistle sounded in a blink of an eye, the 60-second timeout ended, the game continued, and the Thunder kicked off in the backcourt.

Assistant coach Snyder said with some hesitation: "Is it too much, just a little reminder, is it necessary to pause?"

"Anyway, it's better than rebid after being far behind. These guys underestimate the opponent..."

Compared with Sefolosha who didn't shoot three-pointers in wide open positions, and Chandler didn't choose to switch defenses, what really made Su Yang decide to pause was that when the offense stalled, neither Durant nor Westbrook took the initiative to think of a way, either lazy, Either feel unnecessary.

In short, there are problems with strategies and attitudes, which must be killed and sprouted in advance, lest there will be too many loopholes in time.

On the court, the referee whistled, and Westbrook caught the ball and moved forward.

As soon as he reached the center line, Durant synchronously raised the ball to the left at 45 degrees, and Ibaka at the top of the arc synchronously moved across the wall.

The thunder cover suddenly formed, Durant took the opportunity to dribble the ball to the top of the arc, faced McDyess in a dislocation, took two steps to the free throw line, made a sudden stop and raised his hand to pretend to shoot. Bend your body and lean back with difficulty.

The movement was quite smooth, but it was a pity that he shot and smashed the basket and struck the iron, as if he was watching Kobe's beautiful blacksmithing collection in a trance.

Fortunately, Chandler was temporarily unoccupied. He jumped to catch the offensive rebound, landed and turned around to pass to the top of the arc.

Durant immediately turned to the right after receiving the ball, raised his hand and passed it to Sefoloza, who was temporarily unguarded, and raised his hand to signal a shot.

Ginobili returned to the defense like lightning, but Sefolosha had no time to make a shot, and Chandler stepped up to cover when he saw this.

Sefolosha took the opportunity to take the ball to the line and break through. Seeing that Duncan's defense was delayed, he hurriedly passed the ball back to the top of the arc.

Durant received the ball with his hands up, and Chandler turned around and rushed to the basket at the same time, and raised his hand to indicate that he could pass the ball.

Durant wanted to give the ball subconsciously, but saw that McDyess shrank and intercepted in advance, and the risk became a bit greater.

The Thunder's offensive situation stagnated again. Seeing this, Su Yang sounded a reminder for the singles, and the four of Westbrook hurriedly opened up space.

Durant then changed hands and swayed under his crotch, lowered his center of gravity and took two steps forward, and suddenly pulled up and leaned back to make a mid-range shot.

Boom!The basket hit the net after the basketball hit, 2 to 2.

Su Yang applauded and applauded. This round of second offense cooperated very well. Chandler grabbed the offensive rebound and found Durant who was in the best position at the first time. Durant found Sefoloza in time. The three of them collaborated on a small scale.

In the end, it became the end of the singles, because the Spurs did a good job defending and did not hesitate to consume a lot of energy.

"Our offense will be limited in the first quarter, and we may even fall behind a lot, but we will slowly recover. The defense of the Spurs cannot last for the fourth quarter..." Su Yang said to himself, "When the timeout comes, remember Remind the team."

Assistant coach Brian nodded and sighed: "KD has the ability to simplify all tactics."

On the field, the Spurs seemed to have made some agreement before the game, and Parker forced himself not to ask Duncan to play a high pick-and-roll.

Ginobili moved from left to right, and then used the screen to circle back to the left 45 degrees to receive the ball, and turned to McDyess for a pick-and-roll.

Su Yang suddenly laughed out loud. After the Spurs began to shift their offensive focus to the outside, they became as if they could only play pick-and-rolls.

The key is to engage in such complicated moves for a pick-and-roll, which feels a bit like taking off your pants and farting.

As usual, Ibaka was delayed in switching defenses. Ginobili patiently took the ball to the top of the arc, stopped and jumped and threw it to the left corner.

McDyess happened to disassemble and run there, raised his hand to catch the basketball, faced Ibaka back to the defense, and shot two points long.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

There was applause from the ATT center, and Su Yang turned his head and said: "Compared to the previous two games, McDyess shot faster, remember to remind Ibaka after a timeout, you can withdraw and return to defense in advance, or directly block Ginobili to take off Pass."

Assistant coach Brian wrote down the record, and the whistle suddenly sounded on the field, calling for Durant's walking violation.

Durant was very dissatisfied, and he stretched his hands at the referee for an explanation, and got his wish to get a verbal warning.

The Spurs turned to launch a counterattack. The basketball first made a figure-of-eight conduction, and Ginobili used the cover to go around the top of the arc to get the ball.

McDyess stepped up at the same time, looking like he was going to cover, and Ibaka ran out first.

That thought, McDyess gave up the cover and turned around in an emergency stop, while Ginobili risked a through pass to the basket at the same time.

In a hurry, Ibaka had no time to return to the defense, Chandler didn't react, and McDyess easily scored with the ball.

The applause from the ATT center sounded again, Su Yang pouted and chuckled, thinking that this was still a fake pick-and-roll in pick-and-roll tactics, and it was completed by Ginobili's bold and exquisite pass. The Spurs seemed determined to carry out the pick-and-roll to the end, and ignored Jeff Sen exists.

While thinking about it, the Thunder made a fast break, Westbrook rushed to the right wing of the frontcourt in more than three seconds, and Sefolosha set up a screen in advance.

Jefferson didn't remind Parker that he had a back screen in time, so he had to switch defenses to intercept Westbrook in a hurry, and suddenly formed two dislocations.

Seeing this, Westbrook dribbled the ball and ran to the bottom corner. Sefolosha took the opportunity to insert into the right waist, and raised his right hand to signal for the ball.

Westbrook immediately dropped the pass, then turned and ran away to leave space for singles, and the rest of the Thunder also moved to the left.The situation instantly turned into Parker's single defense. There was a visible gap in height and weight, and the rest of the Spurs hurriedly put on a shrinking posture.

Suddenly, Jefferson turned and shrank, teaming up with Parker to double-team.

Sefolosha raised his hands and passed the ball out, while Westbrook received the ball wide open and made a three-pointer without hesitation.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 5 to 6.

Jefferson showed a little heartache, as if he never thought that Westbrook's low three-point shooting rate would be so decisive.

The Spurs attacked, and Duncan held the ball in a high position to observe for a long time, cooperated with Parker in a pick-and-roll, and strode inside.

Chandler executes the switch decisively and sideways to block space up the lane and force Parker to the baseline.

Parker hesitated for a long time, stood up straight and threw the ball vigorously towards the top of the arc, Jefferson caught the ball and made a strong cross start.

Durant followed up closely, and Jefferson stopped and turned around on the edge of the collision zone, but just as he was about to join the ball and raise his hand, Ibaka slammed the ball away from the side, and grabbed it in his hand, heading towards the center line The position makes a strong long pass.

There were boos in the arena, Sefolosha received the ball and quickly advanced, rushing to the right wing of the frontcourt in two seconds.

The Spurs retreated very quickly, and the four arrived at halftime before the Thunder's main force, and each settled down.

Sefolosha had to stop the ball, but Ginobili, who was in charge of defending him, forcibly braked, lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

With an unintentional move, he suddenly got a huge open space. Sefolosha did not hesitate for a moment, and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 8 to 6.

In the TNT commentary seat, Kenny Smith smiled and said, "It seems that Su Yang's pause before had a very good feedback."

Barkley shrugged slightly: "Maybe that's why he was elected the best head coach. Now the Spurs are in a very dangerous situation..."
