Chapter 472 Containment! !
"boom!!"

After a loud bang, David Robinson seemed to have returned to his peak period. He stretched out his arms and slapped the basketball to Parker, who was already ready to go!
"Snapped!"

Holding the basketball, Parker ran forward without stopping!

In this game, Popovich did not formulate some complicated tactics for them, but arranged a small ball tactic that shocked them!

For everyone on the Spurs, Popovich is still best at his disc rotation and the very mature twin tower tactics he used before!

However, now they are suddenly asked to change to this tactic, which really makes them a little confused!

"Huh?" Noticing the fast pace of the Spurs on the court, Rick Barry couldn't help but wondered, "Kenny, have you noticed any changes in the Spurs?"

"Huh?" Hearing what Rick Barry said, Kenny Smith looked curiously at the court!

While Parker was rushing to the frontcourt, he quickly handed the basketball to Carter who had already stood still!

As Carter took the ball, the rest of the Spurs players quickly crossed and ran in the half court!

"Wow, is it my eyesight?" Kenny Smith saw the Spurs players who were quickly moving the ball and running on the court, pondered for a while, and couldn't help but said with a look of surprise: "God, is it Greg? Do you already know the change??"

"Small ball tactics, yes, this is the tactic!!"

When Rick Barry clearly saw the appearance of tactics with Carter and Arenas as arrows, he couldn't help exclaiming!

"God, are they crazy??"

Everyone knows the strongest tactics of the Spurs, but now they suddenly use the small ball tactics that they are not proficient in, which made Kenny Smith and Rick Barry exclaimed. At the same time, some fans who understand the ball have stood still Get up!

"This."

Looking at the same tactics that the Warriors had used in previous seasons on the court, Bruce couldn't help but stare at the court with wide eyes because of his surprise!

The Spurs' rapid transfer of the ball and the rapid running between players made the Warriors gradually enter the rhythm of the Spurs!
"Shhh!!"

When Carter finally got the gap and hit this ultra-long-range two-pointer, the changes in the Spurs finally attracted everyone's attention!
"Hehe, it seems that Greg has become a little irritable!" Wilkens looked at the Warriors players who were trying to adjust on the court. He didn't want to interrupt their own behavior, but closely watched the changes on both sides of the court. !

"no!!"

Billups looked at Parker on the opposite side with a serious expression. Although Fan Hui came to the Warriors to return a goal with Duncan, the Warriors still couldn't get a very good response to the sudden tactical change of the Spurs!
"Bruce!!"

While defending Parker, Billups came to the right three-point line position, because he was very close to Bowen and Carter, so he directly growled!
Hearing Billups' yell, Bowen was already very strong defensively, suddenly after this sentence, it seemed even more worrying about the excessive movements of him and Carter!

In order to be able to curb the tempo of the Spurs, the first thing Billups thought of was the strong defensive Bowen!
If Bowen can limit Carter's actions to a certain extent, then they will basically have a slight advantage in controlling the rhythm afterwards!
Under Bowen's strong defense, Carter seemed to be afraid of the situation that the opponent imposed on him in the last game. He always wanted to dodge Bowen's pressing and closeness intentionally or unintentionally!

"Damn!!"

When Popovich saw the Spurs gradually slowing down on the court, and saw Carter being stalked by Bowen, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth at Bowen!
When deciding to formulate this tactic, Popovich basically thought of all the coping methods of the Warriors, but now seeing Bowen's desperate defensive energy, this really makes him very speechless!
As the game progressed, after the Warriors relied on Bowen to gradually limit Carter to a point where they could control it, they finally gradually took the rhythm into their own hands with their own twin tower tactics!

When the first quarter ended, the Warriors took control of the rhythm at the last moment and led the Spurs by three points with a score of 28:25!
Back off the court, Popovich looked helplessly at David Robinson and the others. If there is any word to express Popovich's mood now, it must be "steal chicken and lose money"!

"Hoo. Hoo.."

Seeing Robin Xu and the others taking deep breaths, Popovich couldn't help but feel a bit bitter!
"Sorry, maybe I want to win this game too much!!" Popovich looked at Carter and the others with an apologetic expression, especially paying more attention to David Robinson!
As if he knew Popovich's reaction very well, David Robinson nodded to him indifferently, and then took a big gulp of water!
"Next, we will return to the most familiar tactical system, and I hope you can work hard into it!" Popovich's eyes flashed a flash of embarrassment very quickly. After thinking about it, he finally returned to the tactics that he and the players are familiar with in the system!
"Isn't this too sloppy?" Kenny Smith muttered a little depressed. Thinking of the anticlimactic performance of the Spurs before, he was really unhappy with Popovich's approach!
Originally, after seeing the Spurs finally change on the court, Smith was full of expectations!

But now with the start of the second quarter, the Spurs have returned to the previous tactics again, which really makes him feel a little powerless!
"Haha, don't you think Greg used it too early??" Rick Barry's eyes sparkled with wisdom, and he immediately started his analysis!

"If my guess is correct, Greg's first plan was to score some points early with unexpected play, but with Bruce Bowen suddenly disrupting the situation, his wishful thinking couldn't work out!"

"During this game, the Spurs are under a lot of pressure. If some effective tactical arrangements and other related research are not adopted, I am afraid that the final outcome will be very obvious!"

"Oh? Do you mean that the Spurs still have backup??" Kenny Smith heard the hidden meaning in Rick Barry's words, and when he looked at the court, he couldn't help but secretly looked forward to it!
On the court, after a speed competition with the Spurs in most of the first quarter, the Warriors replaced at the beginning of the second quarter, with Olajuwon, Barkley, and Ginobili as the main bench!

Although Kirilenko has a very good tactical position in this lineup, after all, there is still some gap between him and Ginobili on the offensive end!

With the start of the game, the Warriors, relying on the offense of Ginobili and Barkley and others and the great contribution of Kirilenko on the defensive end, directly used a wave of 8:0 to lead the Spurs' substitutes!

From here, whether it's the fans in the stands or the large audience in front of the TV, they clearly felt the strength of the Warriors' bench lineup!

Seeing that the Warriors have gradually led the Spurs by about 10 points, Popovich finally couldn't help but put his main force on the field!
"With 8 minutes left, Greg replaced Vince and the others, which shows that he doesn't trust his substitute players very much. Of course, the strength of the Warriors' substitutes is beyond doubt!" Kenny Smith looked at the main players of the Spurs fighting with the Warriors' substitutes on the court, and he couldn't help but a trace of regret flashed in his eyes!
In the subsequent game, as David Robinson and Carter finally opened up the situation with one inside and one outside, the Spurs gradually recovered the point difference to within five points!
"Haha, did you find their game really interesting!!" Kenny Smith suddenly laughed and said, looking at Rick Barry with a puzzled face, he said straight away: "Look, From the beginning of the game, the Warriors blocked the sudden change of the Spurs with their strong strength, and the Spurs not only failed to get what they wanted, but also let the Warriors lead them!"

"Now, with the strong play of the Warriors' bench lineup, even if Greg wants to trust their bench lineup, the performance of these guys will gradually widen the gap further, so...isn't it interesting??"

Hearing a hint of ridicule in Smith's tone, Rick Barry couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Boring!!"

On the court, as the second quarter was about to enter the last 3 minutes, Duncan and others, who had rested for almost a whole quarter, under the arrangement of Wilkens, completely overwhelmed the Spurs with a strong performance. Down!

"If the Warriors can continue to show such an oppressive style of play in this game, I'm afraid the final result of the game will already be known!!" Kenny Smith said this with a very serious expression, and he was telling him that if the Warriors The team can maintain their competitive state non-stop. I am afraid that the Spurs, whose main force and substitutes are in a downturn, will inevitably be eliminated by them 4:1!

"drop!!"

As the whistle sounded for the second quarter, Vesta finally let out a long sigh of relief after shaking hands with his partners one after another!
Before this game, whether it was Dick Vista, who was the referee on duty, or Steve Javi, they all received calls from the president of the referee union and David West!
During the phone call, the two heavyweights issued strict enforcement requirements to them one after another. Even though they both felt that this requirement seemed a bit too harsh, they were only executors after all!

Now, the halftime match between the two teams has finally been enforced. Not only the old referee Vesta, but also the other two referees who are slightly younger than him, they are all secretly relieved!

Back in the locker room, the Warriors are in full swing, and the players have already begun to think about the information and materials of their next opponent!
On the Spurs side, under Popovich's unique loud voice, the expressions of the players were as dull as hell!

"Damn, why are your performances so infuriating!!" Popovich yelled at Carter and others angrily. Bear!
"Huff. Huff."

Seeing the players bowed their heads with ugly faces, Popovich took a deep breath, a trace of loneliness flashed in the depths of his eyes, and he worked hard to arrange the tactics for the second half of the game for them!
