Chapter 162 About the Little Thing of Three Points
The game continued, how did the Spurs play tricks to form a pick-and-roll tactic, either initiated through RAM, or initiated through strong and weak side transfers, or initiated by setting up screens in advance, or directly initiated rudely...

Then either cut inside, or bounce outside, or split ahead of time, or cut the ball short, or change the pick-and-roll direction...

Su Yang calculated in his mind while watching. Based on his knowledge of high school arrangement and combination, he estimated that the Spurs could at least use the pick-and-roll as the basis to make 16 major changes and 32 small changes in the positional battle. As long as the Spurs are willing, they can play pick-and-roll from the beginning to the end. .

If you consider the quick coordination of offensive and defensive transitions, the Spurs can publish a "General Guide to Pick and Roll".

However, the Spurs are so good at the pick-and-roll, and the Thunder only need two moves to deal with it.

No matter how you play it, the core of the defense is to delay, forcing the Spurs to take mid-range pull-up jumpers.

Make a shot and admit defeat, grab rebounds and play fast breaks if you can't make a shot, anyway, bullying the old and weak Spurs by taking advantage of their youth.

A few minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Following Chandler's defensive foul, Su Yang took advantage of the opportunity to replace him and arranged for Jordan to play.

For the Spurs, Bonner replaced McDyess, Hill replaced Ginobili, and Popovich made a point of explaining.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Duncan stood on the free throw line and made two consecutive free throws to help the Spurs catch up to 18.

With 4 minutes and 17 seconds left in the first quarter, the Thunder launched a counterattack, and the Spurs fans shouted defense in unison.

Westbrook dribbled the ball across the half court, raised his hand to indicate the position of the one-in-four-out formation, and then raised his hand and threw the ball to the top of the arc.

Jordan received the ball and held it high, pretending to pass to Ibaka in the paint, but turned around and passed Westbrook back, and then strode inside.

Duncan turned around to catch up to the waist, and Jordan suddenly stopped and turned back to the top of the arc, setting up a human wall to block Parker.

Westbrook took the opportunity to start a breakthrough, Duncan hurriedly moved laterally and delayed, and Parker hurriedly went around the cover to try to intercept.

But Westbrook was as fast as lightning, Duncan failed to form a delay, Parker did not have time to stop, and even Jefferson in the weak side corner wanted to help defend without posing a threat. The Spurs could only watch Westbrook rush. At the waist, he jumped high for a layup.

The basketball bounced into the net with a bang, Su Yang grinned lightly when he saw this, and thought: Pretending not to do a pick-and-roll, but actually doing a pick-and-roll is also a way to form a pick-and-roll. The advantages.

The Spurs counterattacked, Parker ran across the center line with the ball, and went straight to the right wing, Jefferson received the ball and held it flat.

Parker ran to the top of the arc after passing the ball, forming an off-ball cross screen with Bonner. Bonner took the opportunity to run to the top of the arc, raised his hand to receive the pass from Jefferson, and then turned around and passed it to Parker who had already run to the left wing. Parker Take the ball and immediately cross start.

Who ever thought, maybe the Spurs played this move too many times, Westbrook was already prepared and reached out to pat the ball.

The basketball fell to the ground with a thud, and Parker bent down to grab it in a panic, accidentally throwing the ball out of the sideline.

The referee blew his whistle to punish the violation. The Thunder got the ball from the sideline of the backcourt. Westbrook caught the ball and slowly brought it across the center line.

Jordan set up a wall at 45 degrees on the right in advance as a positioning cover, and Westbrook went straight.Seeing this, Parker hurriedly stepped forward, ready to stay away from Jordan to catch up, but Westbrook stopped the brakes suddenly, gave up the cover and changed to the top of the arc, and Duncan hurriedly switched defenses to intercept.

Compared with Duncan's previous defense switching and interception, this time the space is much larger, and Westbrook shoots as soon as he pulls up the free throw line.

The basketball crashed into the net, 22 to 18.

Su Yang casually glanced at the big central screen and found that Westbrook had already scored 10 points and 3 assists in a single quarter. He thought that Westbrook played so well against the Spurs in this round of the series that Durant seemed a little invisible. Does Rand mind.

While thinking about it, the Spurs counterattacked, Parker dribbled the ball to the left wing, handed it to Hill, and strode towards the baseline.

Hill took the ball and turned to the right, raised his hand to signal Bonner at the top of the arc to go down, and made an echelon screen with Jefferson.

Bonner ordered to do so, and Parker got rid of the defense and rushed to the right 45 degrees, raising his hand to receive a pass back from Hill.

Perhaps because Ibaka switched defenses in advance to intercept Parker, Westbrook chose to squeeze through the screen to catch up.

Unexpectedly, Parker rushed to block the space in front of Ibaka with the ball, stopped and raised his hand to pass the ball to Bonner who retreated to the three-point line.

The incident happened suddenly, Ibaka was unable to defend, and Westbrook wanted to defend because he was too short in height, so he could only roar a magic attack.

Unfortunately, it had no effect. Bonner hit a three-pointer steadily, and the cheers of the audience instantly filled the entire arena.

The Spurs bench stood up and applauded, making Bonner a mascot that everyone liked.

The cheers have not stopped, Su Yang reminded the fast break, Westbrook catches the ball and rushes, and Sefolosha faces Hill in the frontcourt waist.

The height difference was blindingly visible. Westbrook rushed over and pushed a long pass with both hands, while Sefoloza jumped high to catch the ball, turned around and rushed to the basket, ignoring Hill's defensive threat behind him, and wiped steadily. Get two points on a layup.

The Thunder's attack took a total of five seconds. The cheers in the arena stopped abruptly, and many spectators sat down resentfully.

The Spurs also launched a fast break. Hill rushed the ball to the right wing of the frontcourt, and Duncan received the ball at the top of the arc and passed it 45 degrees to the left.

Parker caught the ball and cooperated with Duncan in the pick-and-roll, taking the opportunity to shift to the left, and Jordan went up to switch defenses and was delayed.

Duncan immediately disassembled and turned to cut inside. Ibaka quickly shrank and intercepted, while Bonner ran out quietly.

The moment Bonner reached the three-point line, Parker seemed to be prepared, and immediately stopped and turned to give the ball.

Ibaka hurriedly pulled back to defend, but the distance was a little far, and Bonner steadily combined the ball and made a long shot.

bass!The basketball went into the net hollow, 24 draws.

The ATT Center resounded with cheers again, and the audience was boiling. Bonner was like a heavenly soldier.

Ginobili, who was sitting on the Spurs bench, was extremely excited, and Jefferson, who was standing on the court, was more lonely than a beggar.

On the Thunder side, assistant coach Snyder asked, "A timeout? I suggest adjusting the defensive strategy."

Su Yang nodded in agreement. The Spurs arranged for McDyess to disassemble the outside bullet and make a long-range shot. It has already tested Ibaka's defense speed after the delay. Now Duncan cuts inside after the pick-and-roll, and Bonner shoots a three-pointer from the outside bullet. Ibaka I can't handle it.

It is necessary for the Thunder to make adjustments, at least to arrange for someone who can keep up with Bonner, and preferably has a shooting threat.

Beep!Just as Westbrook ran across the center line with the ball, the referee blew his whistle to suspend the game, and cheers came from all around the arena again.

Su Yang first made personnel and position adjustments, arranged for Harden to replace Westbrook, Matthews to replace Sefolosha, Durant to play power forward, and Green to play small forward, and then rearranged the defensive strategy, direct local three defenses Two locked the Spurs pick and roll.

Compared with before, the main change is that the weak side rotates to cover the screener who cuts in, and does not easily give opportunities to pass the ball.

It is expected that the defensive effect will be better, and it can limit Bonner's three-pointers, but the whole team needs to be coordinated, and the requirements for rotation are relatively high.

The whistle sounded soon after the timeout ended, and Su Yang waved his hand to signal the players to come on the field, and by the way, ordered them to move.

Harden said with a smile: "Coach, remember that I said on the flight yesterday that I would celebrate for you? Pay attention to my performance."

Su Yang naturally remembered, but he didn't know what Harden was going to do, so he immediately showed doubts.

"Watch me blow them up!" Harden said arrogantly, turned around and stepped into the court, full of momentum.

Su Yang nodded silently, feeling that he might be thinking too complicated. Harden's so-called celebration is simply winning.

Beep!The referee blew the whistle and the Thunder kicked off from the sideline.

Harden used the screen to get the ball at 45 degrees, turned around and brought it to the top of the arc, and used Jordan's screen to cut in a big step.

Ginobili, who re-entered the field, bypassed the screen and stuck to Harden again, but Harden made an emergency stop, turned around, stepped back and made a one-footed fadeaway jumper.

Ginobili slid across the air, and the basketball slammed into the net. Harden turned back to defend, and made an OK gesture at Su Yang.

Su Yang was stunned on the spot, wondering if this is the opening of the NBA's No. [-] shooting guard mode in advance?
