Chapter 263
But I didn't expect that Dongcic, who was in poor form before, would put up impressive numbers against Xiao Hang.

In the first quarter, the Spurs and the Lone Ranger drew 31 to 31!

Among them, Doncic contributed 11 points alone, and there were 2 in your face** against Xiao Hang. Fortunately, this is still the Spurs' home court.

When Xiao Hang was resting, he was thinking about Doncic's operation just now and his own defense, and there was nothing wrong with it.

Xiao Hang was a little depressed. Before the game, he was still thinking that the Lone Ranger could easily win. He didn't expect that whoever plays the Spurs will explode now. Why?
The main reason is that the West is really too wild, with one win difference, three or four ranking differences, and at this point in time, they are all trying to make it to the playoffs, no matter who the opponent is, they have to fight.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Smith dribbled the ball across half court, Barnes' screen, and pulled it beyond the three-point line.

"Shua—" The Lone Ranger feels really good, and Guy even covers his face.

Murray dribbled the ball across the half court and passed it to Xiao Hang, Xiao Hang passed it to Guy, and the outside line got the ball.

Adelaide and Isaac screened and rolled Xiao Hang continuously, and Gay broke through to score the ball.

"Boom—" Xiao Hang missed a three-pointer, Dedmon got the rebound and gave it to Smith.

Smith rushed up, Murray didn't block it, Xiao Hang came out from behind, chasing the cap, no, Smith pulled the bar back.

This ball is really beautiful, showing his bounce to the fullest.

Xiao Hang controls the ball, paces to the frontcourt, takes a step outside the three-point line, suddenly sinks his shoulders and accelerates, one changes direction in front of his body, and then takes two consecutive strides, one underhand picks the basket.

Dedmon's speed was a bit short, he missed the block and scored beautifully.

Smith dribbled the ball across half court, gave it to Doncic, and the ball finally came to him.

Xiao Hang posted that Dongcic's breakthrough speed is not fast, it all depends on the rhythm, Xiao Hang has absolute confidence in defending players who are about the same size as himself, and in his own speed.

Doncic, dribble, break through, step back.

Xiao Hang sealed it, and Dongcic made a move. Dongcic's rhythm was indeed good. Although Xiao Hang was sealed, it was still a little short of the real block.

"Boom—" Doncic finally missed the fairy ball.

Isaac tapped the rebound and made a pass, and Smith suddenly came out from the outside, broke the basketball, and went straight to the basket.

"Kang—" Smith's speed was too fast, and everyone in the Spurs didn't have time to react.

Murray dribbled the ball and gave it to Xiao Hang after halftime. Xiao Hang caught the ball, bent his knees, and made a jump shot.

Ross didn't expect Xiao Hang to jump directly.

"Shh-"

Xiao Hang stood up.

"Shua—" Dongcic came back, used cover, broke through, and pulled out directly.

In the second quarter, the Spurs Lone Ranger played very fiercely, back and forth, and tied again 55-55.

Xiao Hang found out the problem, this is not his problem, he scored 17 points in the first half, 4 assists, 1 block and 1 steal.

This is a battle between Popovich and Carlisle, on a tactical and strategic level.

Dedmond, Popovich is quite familiar with it. He has defense and mid-range shooting, but nothing else. When it comes to mid-range shooting, Popovich thought of a point.

"In the second half, you have to create offensive opportunities for Dedmond." Popovich only gave this strange order in the locker room.

But the coach's words must be listened to.

As soon as the third quarter came up, under the defense of the Spurs, the ball finally came to Dedmon's hands.

Isaac is responsible for defending him. Although Dedmon has a physique, he has no back-up ability. He only has Zhongtong, and Dedmon has a stadium contract.

This is Popovich's strategy. He really knows his former players too well, and he knows the advantages and disadvantages in his heart.

Dedmond's singles efficiency was terrible, and the ball really ended with a strike.

Murray dribbled the ball across the half court and hoisted into the inside. Although there was defense, it was only capable of topping people, and it was still a bit short of a face-to-face breakthrough.

Isaac became the winner of this match.

Isaac received the ball, faced Dedmond, took a tentative step, made a fake shot, broke through, turned around and wiped the board.

Although Dedmon is hard and dark, he is not fast enough, and he can only catch and shoot offensively. If he is shooting in singles, it is entirely because he is not in the rhythm, and the ball he throws is ironed.

It happened once, twice, and three times. Coach Carlisle came to his senses. He also knew Dedmon's weakness.

The more offensive opportunities Dedmon gets, the lower the efficiency of the Lone Ranger's offense.

When Isaac executed a free throw, Dedmon was replaced, and the Lone Ranger has trained himself for many years as a backup center Powell.

Powell is a standard frame-protecting pie-eating center, but Powell can only be a substitute due to his light weight and lack of low-post defense. Last season, the Lone Ranger had Jordan. He is the top version of Powell, who can top defense in the low post , strong running and jumping ability, and top-level frame protection ability.

But Powell won't be affected by Dedmon's problems. His rough singles skills at the basket will at least not affect his efficiency, and his average of 1.6 assists per game is still able to play.

Powell's playing relieved the embarrassment of the Lone Ranger. The point difference has not been expanded, 83 to 79, the third is over, and the Spurs temporarily lead by 4 points.

Popovich began to calculate again, who could break through, and swept away the players on the field and the substitutes, but he couldn't seem to find any players with obvious shortcomings.

Wait, Popovich has Powell on the floor.

Facing Xiao Hang, who was attacking with the ball, he winked and winked. Xiao Hang understood, and directed Ade to go inside to block Powell, singles!

Popovich remembered that although this Powell solved the problem of Dedmon's lack of singles, by the way, he created the problem of lack of inside barriers on the Lone Ranger field.

Just like programmers usually modify a bug, at least another bug will appear because of this modification, or even more.

The scene just now started again, but the Spurs were attacking, once, twice, and three times, Powell was beaten by Adrian three times in a row.

Carlisle hesitated, whether it is better to be inefficient on the offensive end, or to be blown up on the defensive end.

The point difference on the field was opened step by step, Carlisle couldn't bear it, and replaced Dedmond again.

Although Popovich still has a serious face on the surface, he has already smiled in his heart.

The Lone Ranger is all in Popovich's calculations this time, and the Spurs have no special weaknesses, and the golden mean is also a good choice.

110 to 103, the Spurs still had the last laugh. Dedmon's playing did not change anything, and Popovich still had an ace like Xiao Hang in his hand.

At the critical moment, he scored 6 points in a row, completely extinguishing the Lone Ranger's hope of making a comeback.
