Chapter 191 Fighting alone (4)

The Warriors have gone through a roller coaster, or maybe this game didn't belong to them.

In the first quarter, the Spurs were blown up, but the Spurs gave face, not the real strength of the Spurs.

Xiao Hang insisted on himself, finally mobilized his teammates, and fully inspired his true strength.

However, the Warriors were used to the Spurs "giving away" because of the rhythm of the game before, and the Spurs fought all of a sudden. They were not used to it and couldn't accept it.

Cole then called a timeout consecutively, unable to stop the Spurs' offensive.

The Spurs’ new trio was fully activated. In the fourth quarter, DeRozan scored 4 points with 3 of 8 free throws and 3 free throws. Alder scored 3 points with 4 of 10 and 2 free throws. Xiao Hang was in charge of organizing. Only scored 5 points but sent [-] assists and a steal at a critical moment to completely seal the victory.

106 to 102, the Spurs completed a wonderful super comeback.

Xiao Hang contributed a lot to the comeback of the first quarter, and the players on the team were also very happy.

The big score has also been pulled back to 3 to 1. After the Cavaliers 2016 to 3 comeback in 1, everyone seldom believes in those so-called odds. Well, they don’t believe in those that are not good for their home team. A lot of publicity, this is also a kind of psychological warfare.

But there is a sad person in the Spurs, and that is Popovich.

During the game, Popovich, who was thinking about trading Xiao Hang away, got bigger and bigger. He has too much to do now. He wants to lead the team to victory, and the victory must depend on Xiao Hang, but he also wants to trade Xiao Hang. Hang, if he relied on Xiao Hang to surpass the Warriors and then traded him, there would definitely be holes of various millimeter calibers in front of his house.

But the culture of the Spurs is like this, no matter how good you are, as long as you are not good enough, you will be warned by DNP (Did Not Play), if you are not obedient, you will be traded, not to mention Xiao Hang is still a rookie.

And the reason for being DNP is very strange. Various unknown body parts hurt, just to tell you clearly that the team has any way to control you.

This kind of culture can achieve high success for the team, but it is a sacrifice for the players.

Popovich still chooses to go first and win. This is the most important thing at present. After all, he has to be responsible to the team, after all, he is paid.

Popovich agreed with Xiao Hang's idea, let Xiao Hang defend Curry, relying on a larger defensive area, although he will still be swayed by jumpers, but Curry's efficiency in the last two games is really not very high. Victory still depends on more people who can score than the Spurs here.

Against Durant, he continued to lead the defense, entered the inside line to attack, and forced mistakes.

Thompson arranged for Murray to follow up the whole process, and then released Mills and Forbes. Mills made 5% of his three-pointers in these 29 games, and Forbes actually improved steadily in the second half of the season, averaging 7.6 points and 39% of his shots per game. Three-pointers hit, averaging 1.1 three-pointers per game, but fell 5% in the first 28.2 games.

Xiao Hang's idea, and then Popovich made this defensive strategy more refined, and the next game at Oracle Arena will definitely be a beautiful game.

Xiao Hang's personal strength is too strong. In the United States, this is the third time for him to say goodbye to the original tactical habits of the head coach. First, coach Gregg in high school developed the middle distance with Xiao Hang as the main player. Porter Moser in college After getting to know Xiao Hang thoroughly, the coach changed all the offensive tactics into Xiao Hang's habits, and now it's finally Popovich's turn.

What Popovich is better than the previous coaches is that the tactics will be more refined, not a more conceptual thing, such as letting Xiao Hang defend Curry, but there will be various situations, how to do the pick-and-roll, whether to switch or not to switch , when should change.

Just like Curry and others didn't switch in the pick-and-roll before, but he had to change in the pick-and-roll with Durant. This is the gap between NBA coaches and ordinary college coaches and ordinary high school coaches.

The Spurs spent two days of training sessions just to rehearse this new defense. The main thing is that the previous players had already fought the Warriors with the basic framework of this defense in the first two games and won a victory. , So Popovich is not worried at all about the players adapting to the new tactics.

Just like you have been eating ordinary rice, and suddenly you are given finer rice, will you not get used to it?Of course it is really fragrant!
As soon as the sixth game started, as Popovich expected, it was really delicious!

第一节打到第9分钟，科尔已经2个暂停用掉了，勇士以12比20落后马刺8分。

Curry was lost in front of Xiao Hang, 5 out of 1 is Curry's current answer sheet.

If it weren't for Durant, the Warriors might not have scored more than 10 points.

It was Durant's breakthrough, which caused Gay's foul. Gay, who had committed 2 fouls, had to go off the field, and the lineups of both sides also made greater challenges.

The Spurs here are Xiao Hang, Mills, Belinelli, DeRozan, and Alder.

The Warriors here are Curry, Livingston, Jerebko, Green, Durant.

Durant made two free throws, Ade kicked off, and Mills dribbled the ball across the half.

Xiao Hang came to do the pick-and-roll, it was a false screen, and he suddenly went straight to the inside, and Mills lobbed the pass.

"Duang—" It's beautiful. Paul and Chandler used this trick beautifully in the Hornets period. Now the Rockets' Paul and Capela are not using it.

This requires a lot of athletic ability, but Xiao Hang said that I have enough athletic ability.

Curry dribbled the ball, and Durant could play this fake pick-and-roll before his serious injury. Now Durant's athletic ability has dropped by at least 1 grade. Although he is still better than most NBA players, Durant is now a third Ten days old man, take care of yourself.

The fight with Durant was a real break, Durant took the ball to the outside, Xiao Hang switched over, Curry ran wildly, Mills also ran wildly, but Green made an off-ball pick-and-roll, Durant passed to Curry, who had already circled around, made a three-pointer!
Finally, this is Curry's first three-pointer in the game. He made 5 of 1 before, and 3 of 0 three-pointers.

Xiao Hang seems to have discovered another problem. If the pick-and-roll is switched, Curry can abuse anyone after the switch, little one?Not as fast as me, not high enough to shoot you, big one?Even slower, shoot directly to explode.

Xiao Hang doesn't think too much about it now, after all, Curry and Durant don't play pick-and-roll tactics very much, or Cole doesn't like to use this tactic very much.

Mills dribbled the ball across the half and gave it directly to Xiao Hang.

Adelaide put on the pick-and-roll, which must be a real pick-and-roll, Xiao Hang took advantage of the opportunity to break through to the basket, and Belinelli slipped to the left corner outside the three-point line under Adelaide's pick-and-roll.

"Boom—" Belinelli just came on the field, and he didn't continue the fiery touch of other players before.

The Warriors here Durant played singles, faced Gay with an emergency stop and made a jump shot, and the score came to 17 to 20 in an instant, only 3 points behind.

Here, Xiao Hang definitely hits one by himself, similar to Durant, who forced Livingston and then made an emergency stop jumper, but unfortunately missed.

The Warriors also hit an iron here, Xiao Hang continued, but he chose to play for DeRozan, but DeRozan, who cut inside, failed to make a layup, and his hands were a little heavy.

It can be said that the feel of the Spurs players has begun to return to normal.
