Chapter 261 Targeted Training

Murray, Forbes, Xiao Hang, Isaac, Poeltl.Popovich adjusted the Spurs' lineup to be faster and more athletic.

The Hornets still have Walker and Lamb in the backcourt, but the small forward is replaced by Gilchrist, and the power forward is played by Gomez.

Gomez, a white Spanish man, has good running and jumping ability inside. Coach Borrego wants him to keep a close eye on Isaac, and Gomez is also a space four. Although he has less experience than Marvin Williams A little bit, but the advantage lies in the youth, and the center position is still Zeller, currently the only reliable and most stable insider of the Hornets.

Murray dribbled the ball across half court, Isaac came out for a pick-and-roll, and Poeltl covered for Xiao Hang, instantly attracting a lot of defense.

Forbes easily cuts to the basket.

Walker dribbled the ball, Zeller came out to cover, and gave it to Zeller who was going down. Zeller tricked Poeltl with a fake move. They were all white insiders. Zeller had a higher IQ and made a throw.

Unfortunately, no, Poeltl got the rebound.

Xiao Hang received the ball and charged up, and Gilchrist posted it. This was the only player of the Hornets who defended well.

Xiao Hang cuts past Gilchrist with a European step and picks the basket, beautifully.

It would not be enough to rely on Gilchrist alone. See how the Pistons, Raptors, and Lukai in the East defend against Xiao Hang. They all have to rely on a series of lines of defense to delay.

But today the Hornets are strong because everyone feels good, except for Uncle Batumba.

Walker killed back here and assisted Gomez to hit a three-pointer.

In the second quarter, the two sides were still inseparable, 55 to 53, and the Spurs only led by 2 points.

The Spurs actually played well, but the Hornets are in really good form today, and Joe, who is on the sidelines, is also very happy, smiling all the time, but at the same time, he doesn’t communicate with the players. Strange things happen with team communication, it's better to let them play normally.

During the intermission, Popovich had no challenge, but praised everyone, saying that with the Hornets shooting 55%, we can still maintain a 2-point lead, which is very good.

The Spurs did play well today, and they shot 53% from the field. The main reason is that the Spurs shot a lot of three-pointers, so they still have a 2-point lead.

The second half started soon, and Walker came, but I didn't expect it to be the double point guard combination of Walker and Parker.

Parker caught the ball at halftime, faced Mills, smiled slightly, made a quick operation, cut inside, and made a throw.

There is still some fuel for the small sports car. Facing the juniors like the Spurs, Parker, who is limited to 20 minutes of playing time, really plays casually.

The Hornets also have hidden tactics, which made the Spurs a bit awkward at the beginning of the third quarter.

Xiao Hang is definitely unable to guard Parker. His speed is too fast and he will be eaten to death by lateral movement. Mills, Forbes and Murray are also not good. Forbes and Murray are tall point guards, and their speed is still not enough. His explosiveness is even worse, and now he has transformed into a pure pitcher.

A sudden Parker outside the Spurs in disarray.

With 4 minutes left in the third quarter, the Spurs fell behind by 69 points 71-2.

Popovich urgently called a timeout here, Xiao Hang came to help defend, Forbes topped the defense, and Isaac was also ready to help defend.

But in this game, Parker had a rest, which made Popovich's timeout a rest for the Hornets.

The main reason is that Parker knows the Spurs too well. When Popovich sticks out his ass, Parker knows what to fart.

But that’s okay, even though Parker only played for a few minutes, the pressure on the Spurs was enormous. Parker was also a player sacrificed under the “high pressure” of the Spurs. The Spurs wanted to renew at a low price and become the team’s third point guard. The fourth person is mainly here to bring in new players, but Parker thinks he can still play, at least as the team's second point guard. Since the Spurs can't do it here, they can find other places, and the boss of the Hornets is his idol since he was a child, and he plays for his idol. , very happy, and his status in the team is also very high. Boss Joe gave Parker enough face.

In the post-Duncan era, the Spurs' GDP was disbanded and Kawhi was lost. When many people were thinking about whether this was the end of a generation of tyrants, Xiao Hang broke out halfway, breaking the Spurs' finale. The end is also the beginning. Now the Spurs have entered The era of Xiao Hang.

Xiao Hang took over the important task of scoring. In the third quarter, all players opened up. Xiao Hang played consecutive singles and scored 4 points in the last 9 minutes.

80 to 79, the Spurs completed the lead in the third quarter.

Borrego actually has nothing to do, he can only feed the players chicken soup.

And the Hornets are not a very resilient team, and in the fourth quarter, when their physical strength was almost exhausted, Xiao Hang scored consecutively here, but the Hornets stopped. Walker scored 32 points in the first three quarters, but only in the fourth quarter. Got 5 points.

Xiao Hang scored 42 points, and the Spurs finally won the Hornets 106-100, winning back-to-back away games.

Entering the last quarter of the season, many teams have begun to exert their strength. In order to hit the playoffs, the Spurs cannot win easily like they did at the beginning of the season.

However, Popovich is still optimistic, because there is Xiao Hang in the team, Xiao Hang now gives him a sense of security that is no less than that of Duncan back then.

The back-to-back away games are over, and the Spurs will rest for 2 days to start a three-game home game.

The Timberwolves, the Mavericks, and the Suns were challenged respectively.

Except for the Suns, the Timberwolves and the Mavericks have the possibility of entering the playoffs. This year's West is very wild. Except for the Spurs at the top and the Suns at the end, any of the 13 teams in the middle may enter the playoffs. In the playoffs, the ranking from No.2 in the West to No.14 in the West is only 5.5 games.

Now they are racking their brains when playing against the Spurs, and they are even about to move out the tactical routines reserved for the playoffs. After all, in the playoffs, in addition to the NBA's dividends, they can also sell tickets. There are 2 seats, and the average price also has hundreds of thousands of ticket sales.

During the two days off, Xiao Hang was training the defense for the Spurs, with Murray leading the defense, and then Isaac and Poeltl's inside defense.

In the playoffs, the Spurs will definitely encounter the attack of the opponent's breakthrough player. Taking Curry as an example, Xiao Hang's defense is really a bit too difficult. It is better to use Murray to defend, Xiao Hang and the inside players' quick help defense it's the best.

Let Adelaide put pressure on the Warriors inside, and use a two-pronged approach.

The Warriors are really good. After not performing well in the first half, they chased all the way in the second half. Now they have risen to the second place in the Western Conference, forcing the Spurs not to think about their opponents behind, but to practice against the Warriors in the playoffs.

Of course, this is also because the Spurs currently have an abnormal record of 50 wins and 12 losses. In the last 20 games, they can completely paddle.
