Chapter 121 Xiao Hang Tactics
After struggling for a while, Walton finally chose to change the lineup on the field.

Point guard Rondo, shooting guard Ingram, small forward James, power forward Kuzma, center Zubac.

Rondo will be in charge of sorting out the offense. James will play more off-ball and air cuts to save energy, and use energy last. Zubac is helpless. After all, the Spurs have several breakthrough blasters, and they still need frame protectors. .

In fact, the Lakers have a German big center rookie Wagner, but it is a pity that he was injured before the regular season, otherwise it is really hard to say who the Lakers will use.

The Spurs have sent all the starters here.

After returning from the timeout, the Spurs changed their tactics, Murray became an empty cutter, and Gasol took care of the offense.

Accelerate in the high position to support, high vision, the Lakers averaged 7 assists in 35 minutes per game in 3.7 seasons, and 23 assists in 3.1 minutes per game last season, more efficient .

This is actually the Spurs' "ultimate move" that is rarely used. Popovich can see that today's Lakers are different from those of the past few days. They seem to hold their breath and want to fuck the Spurs.

Gasol passes the ball too easily in the high post, and DeRozan, Murray, and Xiao Hang are all masters of air cuts.

But the Lakers are not bad here. Rondo's organization has made it easier for James. As long as he runs out of position, Rondo's ball will definitely arrive.

Although there were top guards like Wade and Irving before, Rondo is still better in terms of organizational ability.

It can be said that the two sides played very stalemate in the second quarter. Basically, you led for a while and I led for a while. At the end of the game, the Spurs and the Lakers tied 53 to 53.

During the halftime break, in the Spurs locker room, all the players showed a look on their faces that you didn't lie to me, it's really like this, it's okay.

Because Popovich just announced a tactic that shocked everyone.

Xiao Hang takes control and plays the point forward!

Leaving aside the fact that Xiao Hang is a rookie and doesn't have much experience in NBA games, LeBron James on the opposite side can be said to be the strongest point forward right now.

So even Xiao Hang himself was scared, this is not lying to me, but Xiao Hang immediately regained his composure, Bill's words from before rang in his ears, don't miss any chance to show yourself.

"OK, I know everyone has a lot of doubts, but I don't have time to explain now, Xiao Hang, let me ask you first, are you confident?" Looking at everyone's expressions, Popovich knew what everyone was thinking, but Opposite is James, and James is about to enter the "playoffs level". If it is not for Popovich and wants to endure Xiao Hang for a while, then this idea is really crazy, but Popovich knows that he can still play. The coaching time is limited. If you don’t take a gamble, when Xiao Hang grows up normally, he will probably be like Kawaii. He will not be able to fully develop until the fifth and sixth seasons, and Xiao Hang is still an older rookie at 20 years old. too long!

"I can." Xiao Hang can be said to be extremely calm now, he believes in himself, the coach, and Bill.

Xiao Hang's imposing "I can" was also recognized by DeRozan.

"I believe in Xiao Hang. I saw his superstar potential in the duel with him." DeRozan is 29 years old and Xiao Hang is 20 years old. In fact, the peaks of the two are staggered. DeRozan knows that when he gets old Even when Xiao Hang rises, he will not have any so-called status concerns.

The big brother of the team directly nodded in agreement with this tactic, and Adelaide is a good man. Gasol is already at the end of his career, and he is no longer fighting for such things, let alone other small players.

The third quarter officially started, and the lineup has been adjusted. Among them, the big center Jakob Poeltl, who was traded from the Raptors, was sent on the field. From the start, the Raptors lost a full 10 minutes.

But one thing about him that Popovich took a fancy to is his ability to protect the frame.

Last season, the Raptors contributed 18 blocks in 1.3 minutes of playing time. Although the time dropped to 10 minutes in the last few games, they still contributed an average of 1 block per game. This white big center can be said to be definitely not an addition to the deal Head, has the potential to become the guardian of the Spurs penalty area.

Point guard Murray, shooting guard DeRozan, small forward Xiao Hang, power forward Alder, and center Poeltl.

This is the starter in Popovich's "dream", at least it will be released next season. Now it's really a coincidence, and it's a coincidence that James, who has exploded, happened to be training Xiao Hang and Poeltl.

The game restarted, and Murray handed the ball directly to Xiao Hang after halftime.

Xiao Hang caught the ball in the two-point area inside the three-point line, sighed, lowered his heart, made three threats, and took a tentative step.

James is unmoved, he has seen too much, and his good brother Anthony is the best guy in active service.

"Shua—" The enemy does not move, Xiao Hang directly pulls out the jump shot.

It's interesting, James looked at Xiao Hang's jumper posture, and remembered the confrontation between himself and Anthony when he was young.

Xiao Hang also looked back at the area where he had just shot. After entering the NBA, he was no longer the main player. He had already made enough mental preparations and followed the coach's established tactics step by step to finish the game.

Now returning to the area you are familiar with, a little sad?It seems not, and a little excited?It seems a bit lacking, but I just feel very at ease, that area is like my old friend.

Rondo came over with the ball, but James was shot just now, so he will definitely return it.

James received the ball from outside the left three-point line, which was also a tentative step, and then dribbled the ball under his crotch, changed direction directly in front of him, and went in from Xiao Hang's right hand.

When approaching the paint area, he turned around against Xiao Hang, faced the basket, and prepared to throw with his right hand.

Poeltl has been waiting for a long time. When he was on the bench, Popovich explained that he would not go up when he saw James rushing in, regardless of whether he could pass the ball.

James had just finished the fight against Xiao Hang, and took a breath. This time, he came with a 7-foot big center. James is really an old man in his thirties, and the fight with another breath is not as fast as when he was young. out.

Adelaide took off the rebound, and Murray from outside the three-point line quickly rushed towards the frontcourt with a pass. Rondo had lost his explosive power after the serious injury and couldn't keep up.

Fortunately, Ingram has already caught up and wants to give Murray a big hat.

Murray was about to make a layup, and Ingram had already flown over, and then Murray's ball in the air was suddenly collected back, thrown back, DeRozan appeared, caught the ball in the air, and directly dunked with a big windmill!

Ingram's defensive awareness is actually good, but he has no choice but to play 2 on 1 in the frontcourt of the fast break.

The Spurs' home court was boiling instantly. The Spurs really didn't have many dunks like this, but now that they have DeRozan and Xiao Hang, there will definitely be more dunks in the future.

With Xiao Hang leading the defense on the outside and Poeltl on the inside, James will definitely have some scruples about breaking through. Forcing him to attack from a mid-range position is the ultimate goal of the Spurs' defensive tactics. James shoots a three-pointer?The Spurs are not afraid, because James has not averaged more than 15 three-pointers per game in any of the previous 2 seasons. Instability is James' biggest problem, and today he fought 4 of 1 three-pointers in the third quarter. Does James still dare to vote?
Xiao Hangqiang insisted on shooting anywhere from the outside to the inside. Just now in the locker room, although several highly respected players of the team agreed to this terrible and crazy tactic, one of the reasons was that it was posted on the blackboard in the locker room. A heat map of college shots.

It's something Popovich crafted, and it was supposed to be another season in his first season, but it's too late.

The two all-red heatmaps silenced the other teammates.
