NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 298 Simple and Rough

During the intermission, the Spurs players were in a good mood, after all, the score was not far behind.

But the Spurs' coaching staff were all frowning. They really didn't know how to arrange the tactics for the second half.

Facing the Spurs, the Suns also made a very bold rotation, and they couldn't see the number of ways to use it.

But the Spurs are very clear that the Suns' several styles of play are very dangerous. If the Spurs cannot cope well, the goddess of victory will smile at the Suns.

After much deliberation, facing a team like the Suns, it's best to be able to attack by yourself.

Otherwise, the Suns have too many offensive tricks, and it is really hard to guard against.

But in terms of attacking, the Spurs are not very good at it, so it mainly depends on the player's state.

To say a thousand words and ten thousand, and to go back to the old saying, the playoffs are the battlefield of stars.

On the other side of the sun, because of their strength, they took the initiative to seek stability this season.

As long as the situation does not change, they will not use tactics such as shocking Duncan.Just combine the inside and outside, the speed is appropriate, and it is enough to make the Spurs uncomfortable all the time.

After attacking, although the Spurs are stronger defensively, they also know how to formulate strategies according to different opponents.

In the third quarter, Duncan fully exerted his strength. Although a player of his level tried in the first quarter, he didn't go all out, and the effect was still different.

As far as confrontation is concerned, there is really no one in the Sun who can hold Duncan.

Now that O'Neal is old, Duncan is the only one who can be so horizontal inside.

Originally, in history, Duncan was no longer able to beat Bosh even at the peak, so he knew his deterrent power in the paint.

There is nothing to say on the Sun's side, it should be a flanking attack, and a foul should be made.

It was indeed difficult for Duncan to break out with all his strength, but after the strong confrontation, he was inaccurate in free throws.

Since this is the case, the sun also intends to give Varejao to Duncan.

Varejao's season is far from last season's glory, but his strength certainly has not fallen.

In addition, on the offensive end, Russell is still playing Parker in singles, and the Spurs really have nothing to do.

Russell will have to cover if he switches defenses. He will still have a chance to make a call, and he may take the opportunity to send the ball to Stoudemire. He can play and score the ball very quickly.

The outside world just thinks that Russell's golf quotient is extremely good, but they don't know that he has gone through many simulated games and what to do in the game. In many cases, he has formed a physical instinct, and he doesn't even need to think.

"Hey, Parker made another mistake. Parker actually scored a lot today, but he is still prone to make low-level mistakes against Russell. Parker is also an All-Star player. Does this mean that Russell has a psychological shadow?"

"I'm afraid that many guards in the league have psychological shadows facing Russell. Russell's strength is not just a little bit stronger than others, just like the nervousness of facing Jordan back then."

"The Spurs can still withstand it now, but I don't know if Duncan's physical strength can last until the end. The Spurs must rely on Duncan on the offensive and defensive ends. Duncan is too tired."

"Actually, the Spurs are leading in rebounds now, but they are still behind in the score."

"Now it mainly depends on the rotation period. Ginobili seems to be in a bad state."

Even the fans can expect that the Spurs will have problems during the rotation period.

Ginobili's bench lineup is not entirely correct, because he is a fake substitute, and he is often with the main players. The Spurs play very little against the Suns at the fifth position, that is, one big and four small.

So the real rotation time, the Spurs' offense is still a bit stretched.

The main thing is Duncan. It is not a big problem for Parker and Ginobili to take turns to rest. Anyway, they all attack with the ball and can only attack alone.

But as soon as Duncan went, the Suns' lead expanded by a few points.

Spurs coach Popovich has no choice but to play Duncan in advance.

So in the second half, Duncan only rested for 2 minutes and had to go up and work hard again.

That is to say, Duncan is still at his peak, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to achieve such a great intensity.

But the Suns' choice is also very simple, that is to attack, Duncan can play one and two.

Although Duncan is strong, he can only face double-teams unless he receives the ball from a relatively deep position. At that time, the Suns will foul. They already have detailed instructions for defending Duncan.

The Spurs' role players were really strong at this time. When the Suns double-teamed Duncan, Bowen and Finley both hit three-pointers, and the Spurs caught up with the score all at once.

If you really overtake the opponent in the last quarter, it will be hard to say at the last moment.

In that case, you can only bet on the touch of a superstar. If this kind of thing lasts longer, Russell will definitely win, but if it only takes a few minutes, there will be more surprises.

However, the Suns have four All-Stars after all. When Duncan went to the fifth position to face Stoudemire, Marion finally rose to prominence.

He made consecutive three-pointers and helped the Suns keep the lead at more than 5 points.

Against a defensive team like the Spurs, 5 points is considered a small hurdle, and the Suns can grasp it.

Now that Marion had a small explosion, Russell was ready to take over the game in a pinch of time.

On the Spurs side, because of Ginobili's mediocre touch, they mainly play Parker and Duncan pick-and-rolls.

Because there was only a difference of two or three goals, they were not obsessed with three-pointers. After they hit two three-pointers before, the Suns strengthened their defense against three-pointers, and they played the most commonly used tactics.

Although the most commonly used tactics are familiar to everyone, it also shows that this is the most effective tactic.

Not to mention the pick-and-roll tactics, even outside singles, everyone knows how to defend against it, but many still can't defend against it.

Anyway, when playing against the Spurs, Russell singled out Parker, whoever he loves.

Parker's face turned a little grim. He still couldn't believe that Russell's shooting percentage from outside would be so high.

"Impossible, he can't hit all the time..."

"How could this be? Such a shot is simply unreasonable. How could it be possible?"

Every time Parker met Russell, he would feel desperate, and more and more desperate.

At the beginning, Russell was just a little difficult to deal with, but now there is really no way.

It is difficult for the Spurs to flank from the outside, but it is almost a false flank. Even if Russell holds the ball, someone will come to help defend, but it is not completely entangled with him alone. After all, he must be prevented from passing the ball.

In the last few minutes, the Spurs also went all out and let the players let go to play.

Parker and Duncan pick and roll, whoever has a chance will shoot, and if there is no chance, let Ginobili go in and kill.

Ginobili was also very tough, knowing that he didn't feel good, so he threw himself out.

And this buddy is also a good foul maker, if he doesn't pay attention to defense, he will succeed.

However, the sun responded to all changes without change, and Russell continued to exert his strength.

Watching Russell hit the ball, the Spurs had no choice at all.

They thought about a lot of tactics to defend against the Suns' offense, but the Suns used the simplest and most brutal method to press them to death.
