start with scouting

Chapter 616
Seven p.m., Gold One Center.

Accompanied by the cheers of the audience, the king's championship ring awarding ceremony officially ended, and the championship flag fluttered in the breeze.

The lights were turned on, and the announcer began to introduce the Spurs players. The big screen in the center showed Popovich who was the first to come out, wearing a colorful suit, and the subtitles on the big screen gave an explanation, saying that it was for Cheers to cancer-stricken Seg.

On the king's bench, Su Yang also specially put on a pair of colorful socks to cheer for Seg, although he is not very familiar with it.

The game started immediately.

The Kings started, Curry, George, Mbah a Moute, Antetokounmpo, Cousins.

The Spurs start, Parker, Green, Leonard, Gasol, Alder.

Seeing that Adelaide was still playing center forward, Su Yang couldn't help complaining: "You're still young, Popovich is really good at cheating..."

The bad old man is very bad, and Ade seems to have gained weight obviously.

Assistant coach Mike Brown laughed: "Pau Gasol is more capable of supporting high positions, and Popo must be very fancy about that."

The short whistle sounded and the Spurs won the jump ball.

The audience shouted defense in unison.

The Spurs started with an inside and four outside formation, and first used RAM to cooperate with the left elbow. Green used Aldridge to cover, strode to the right wing, and set up a wall to block Curry. To cover, shift to 45 degrees to the left.

The king and the generals act separately,

According to Su Yang's defensive strategy before the game, he changed defenses continuously.

Antetokounmpo stepped up to grab Parker.

Parker didn't dare to force a charge, and then borrowed Alder's cover, pulled the ball to the right and broke through, and faced Curry again, but he still couldn't make a breakthrough easily, so he passed the ball to Green on the right wing, and rushed up to cover, And Green took the opportunity to twist his hips and rush to the basket.

It's a pity that in the face of the king's continuous defense changes, Green has no chance to force Curry, and the attack time is running out, so he can only ask Adelaide to play a hand-off hand. Super difficult long two points.

The basketball bounced back with a clatter.

The Spurs are very proficient in continuous screen routines. If it were a team without the ability to continuously switch defenses, or if Parker still had the breakthrough ability of his peak, the first attack would probably be successful. Unfortunately, the Kings' defense at the [-]th and [-]nd positions is too fierce. It's hard.

There were cheers in the arena, the king got the rebound and counterattacked, and the three people on the right stacked up and settled down, circling and squeezing, Antetokounmpo ran back to the top of the arc, covering Curry's wall, and George pretended to use Cousins ​​to cover the bottom line, but actually ran back to the right wing, forming a quick catch&shot cooperation with Curry holding the ball, while Mbah a Moute on the left bowed and waited.

In the blink of an eye, Ade yelled to remind him that there was a back cover, and moved his steps to the right in accordance with the sound, while Antetokounmpo took the plan, gave up the back cover and changed it to a slip in advance, and went straight to the left wing, and met the oncoming Mba Mott. , do split cover.

The Kings attack dynamically, read the defense and react.

Curry immediately raised his hand and threw the ball to the left, and the Spurs reacted quickly. Alder gave up chasing and double-teamed.

There is Aldridge in the front and Leonard in the back. Mbah a Moute is not Durant, and his ability to hold the ball is not enough for him to continue to operate. Without hesitation, raising his hand was a three-pointer.

The basketball also rebounded with a bang.

The Spurs grabbed the rebound and counterattacked, and the top of the arc was covered early. Parker lowered his center of gravity and rushed to Curry, and Gasol made room for the basket in advance, allowing Parker to easily rush all the way to the basket. The fit is as smooth as chocolate.

Seeing this, Su Yang pouted slightly.

Gasol does have a higher basketball IQ than Aldridge. Many big players need to go through long-term training to make room for the early card position. This is the first game Gasol came to the Spurs. Fortunately, Gasol's state declined.

If Gasol is still in the same state as the Bulls, with 14.4 points, 9.4 rebounds and 3.1 assists in the playoffs, it would be too difficult.

While thinking about it, the king counterattacked.

The triangle offensive formation started. After Curry passed the ball at 45 degrees, he made a split screen with George and went to the baseline. George took the opportunity to transfer to the free throw line and was forced to switch to Parker. George backs up.

Parker was completely overwhelmed, and George easily turned around and succeeded.

During the ESPN live broadcast, Van Gundy sighed: "This game is highly appreciated. The two teams, both offensively and defensively, have a design sense of industrial art. If the fans and TV stations allow it, I hope to watch it with red wine..."

Jackson nodded: "Curry's choice of going to the bottom line is very smart, which makes Parker unable to quickly bypass or squeeze to catch up because of the obstruction of George and Cousins, which in turn causes Parker to switch to George and bear a huge size disadvantage. .”

Offensive and defensive transitions on the field.

The Spurs fell into an inverted A formation in the frontcourt, and a double screen at the top of the arc was formed. Parker took the opportunity to use the double screen to break to the right.

Cousins ​​chose to stay in the paint.

Seeing this, Ade turned around and went down to the left, providing a wide cover. Leonard took the opportunity to get rid of Mbah a Moute, and rushed to the top of the arc from the left bottom corner, while breaking through the blocked Parker, turned around in a hurry and passed the ball to the free throw. Gasol at the top of the circle, the chain continues.

Gasol took the ball, as if he had expected it, turned directly to the left, raised his hand and divided the rushing rotation, and covered it by the way.

But Cousins ​​also seemed to have expected it a long time ago, instead of staying in the paint area, he stepped up to grab according to Su Yang's arrangement.

Leonard's breakthrough was suddenly blocked, and Mbah a Moute took the opportunity to get close.

Leonard made an emergency stop and turned around and threw the ball 45 degrees to the left. Ade caught the ball and hit Antetokounmpo with his back, and Mbah a Moute shrank and interfered synchronously.

It feels like there are only six seconds left,

Ade gritted his teeth and pushed hard. Originally, he couldn't support Brother Antetokounmpo last season, but because of his weight gain, he actually squeezed out the space.

But Brother Antetokounmpo followed Su Yang's arrangement and desperately insisted on being stuck on the line, while Ade was worried that he would be taken out by Mba Mott if he was too close. After pulling the ball in a hurry, he turned around and took a mid-range shot. The king's defense is too strong.

Cousins ​​jumped up and grabbed the rebound, turned around and looked up to observe the situation in the half court, and raised his hand to make a long pass from the quarterback.

The basketball roared and flew across the half court. George received the ball from the left wing, took a tentative step, easily broke through Green, and quickly rushed to the basket. , Pull the bar backhand to hit the layup.

The basketball slammed into the net.

Van Gundy couldn't help sighing: "The King's defense is too good, the offensive selection is too fast, and they don't give the Spurs a chance at all."

Jackson also lamented: "Cousins ​​can face two different Spurs ball-handling players in the same defensive round, and clearly adopt two strategies of Shadow and Hard Hedge respectively. The coaching ability of the Kings is extremely good..."

Offensive and defensive transitions on the field.

The Spurs made a quick break, and Parker dribbled the ball to the right wing of the frontcourt. With the help of Green's early cover, he tried to rush to the basket forcibly.

However, George switched defenses without hesitation.

Parker lost the opportunity to break through, and patiently bent over to control the ball and waited, and the double screens of Gasol and Alder were put in place.

The Kings continued to switch defenses, and Antetokounmpo blocked the free throw line, but Parker pocketed the pass and hit the ground straight to the short corner on the right.

Gasol took the ball to face Cousins, took off calmly and made a two-pointer, and the basketball slammed into the net.

"Amazing! That's why the Lakers immediately promoted to the ranks of championship contenders after getting Gasol in 08. They are already so old and strong. It is conceivable that they were at their peak. It is said that Popovich is lucky and has a GDP combination. , Zen Master’s luck is better, Jordan and Pippen needless to say, Kobe and O’Neal also don’t talk about it, just play Gasol, many coaches are envious...”

It can only be said that people are more popular than people.

With 3 minutes and 10 seconds left in the first quarter of the game, the Spurs led 18-16, and the Kings suspended substitutions as planned.

After two timeouts, the two teams are about to enter a substitute duel.

　It's still Irving and Simmons who will work hard, and Westbrook will also live a lot this season. The novel is far less exciting than reality!
