horror scorer

Chapter 297 Available But Not Necessary
Kawaii played so-so, but Lowry seems to have a tendency to explode.

In the first quarter, Kawhi only scored 5 of 2 and 2 free throws, and only scored 6 points, but Lowry scored 4 points with 3 of 2 and 10 free throws. After breaking through the tough Isaac, He also hit 2 three-pointers, which was really hard.

28 to 28, the Spurs and Raptors drew in the first quarter.

Is this determined to only play 4 games?At the beginning of the second quarter, the head coach of Nas saw Xiao Hang on the court again, feeling depressed.

In the first two games, Xiao Hang averaged 2 minutes per game, which was very scary. I didn't know that the Spurs coach was replaced by Thibodeau.

In the NBA, the main players averaged 38 minutes per game, which is already at the level of hard work, but under the intensity of the finals, they played 40.5 minutes. The last main player who played more than 40 minutes must be Iverson, LeBron That's 39.5 minutes.

There is no way, the Spurs are your main force, and your hole card, Kawhi, won't last long. Kawhi has played more than 36 minutes, and his efficiency is appalling.

Kawaii is actually an acquired hardworking genius. His talents are only those big hands and body shape, and of course his persistent efforts in the later stage.

Xiao Hang, on the other hand, is both talented and hard-working, which is incomparable.

The Raptors' first attack in the second quarter ended with Van Fleet's strike.

Xiao Hang dribbled the ball across half court and started the Spurs' first attack.

Under Poelter's cover, Xiao Hang forced a breakthrough, but Wa Lan couldn't seal it out, Xiao Hang directly hit a jumper.

It's still Van Fleet, strong against Murray.

Murray actually averaged 39 minutes per game, but because he was a "small role" coach Nas really didn't pay special attention.

Of course, the coach didn't pay attention, and the players didn't pay much attention either. Everyone focused on Xiao Hang.

"Shua—" Van Fleet was defended, and the Spurs switched offense and defense here, playing a fast break.

Murray, a small player who was not noticed, received Xiao Hang's pass from the bottom corner and decisively hit a three-pointer.

It was just over 1 point in the second quarter, and the Spurs took a 5-point lead.

Coach Nurse signaled to Van Fleet to pass if he could.

There is no way, players who can only score with one trick are easy to be targeted in the playoffs. Too many sixth-man thighs in the regular season have mostly become gods in the playoffs.

Van Fleet still chose to come by himself, throwing the shot, the ball bounced on the basket several times, and it seemed to go in and out. At this time, Anunoby, who was very nervous, suddenly jumped up and stretched out his hand.

"Du—" For example, this ball doesn't count...

Van Fleet was furious...

Coach Nurse is also confused. Anunobi is really too nervous, and it is uncomfortable to wait below. After all, he is a swingman in the third and fourth positions. Unlike the Spurs' current Alder and Poeltl, the two He is very steady, and his judgment on rebounds is much better than that of Anunobi.

Xiao Hang continued to attack, but Ade's strike ended.

Coach Nurse breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately he didn't make it, otherwise it would have been called a timeout

The Raptors attacked here again. Van Fleet failed three consecutive attacks and could only choose to pass the ball. Varan beat Poeltl in the paint. The same is true, in fact, Coach Nurse is a bit into the corner, always thinking about modern basketball, modern basketball.

But in the finals, you must have a stable score, otherwise you will be pulled away by a wave, and the defensive strength of the finals will not go far.

In fact, Walan is such a stable scoring point. Not to mention giving a super giant 20+ mobile phone opportunity, giving a 10+ mobile phone opportunity, he will give you a good scoring efficiency, and there is only one Adelaide on the opposite side. Carry the inside line.

Varan even scored 2 points for Poeltl, and finally gave the Raptors a blood transfusion, and gave Kawhi a little more rest time.

Van Fleet finally got a free throw opportunity. After stabilizing Varan in front, he also regained some feeling here.

Van Fleet ended with two free throws and was replaced. The Raptors have a big change in the lineup.

Of course, the Spurs made adjustments. Isaac and Gay played, and Belinelli was replaced by Forbes.

Mills is a bit depressed. In this finals, he has almost no playing time. There is nothing he can do. His defense is too sloppy. Look at Lowry, Green, and Van Fleet on the opposite perimeter. Playing Mills is almost suicide.

Xiao Hang held the ball, Green posted it up, Xiao Hang directly called for a screen, and the flank came, wait, three people flanked? !

The Raptors are usually flanked by Green and Ibaka, but at this time Siakam also came, and the three flanked.

At the same time, Kawaii is outside, filling in at any time, whoever passes the ball, Kawaii will stick to him.

Xiao Hang said that his head is not strong at all, he quickly hit the ball and gave it to Guy.

This is the time to test the whole team. Gay did not force singles. After all, he is an old player. At this time, it is necessary to rely on passing the ball to force the Raptors to make mistakes. Other teams may make mistakes under this pressure, but Not necessarily the Spurs.

Isaac received a pass from Gay, tricked Ibaka who made it back, and went straight to the basket, "Kang—" a one-handed dunk was over.

The Raptors' first triple-team failed.

But for the first time, the Raptors did not give up. Ibaka hit the mid-range singles Isaac here. After Xiao Hang came, he scored a three-pointer and double-teamed.

Xiao Hang sent the ball to Guy again, and Guy passed it to Isaac who was outside the three-point line on the left side of the top of the arc.

Ibaka rushed over.

Isaac started a breakthrough, and Siakam sealed it up. The two had a 4-inch height difference, but Siakam's wingspan was decent, and his body was relatively strong. After all, he was a fellow of Embiid.

The two fought in the air, and Isaac didn't make any money. He threw the shot and returned with a strike.

Coach Nas felt refreshed, he just wanted this effect, how the rest of the Raptors were playing was not as efficient as Xiao Hang's.

Coach Nurse is happy here, while Xiao Hang is observing the Raptors' defense to see if there is any way to break it.

The Raptors attacked, and Kawaii attacked Xiao Hang in a low position. Kawaii's only advantage over Xiao Hang was strength, but this strength was not strong enough. Xiao Hang's single defense was impenetrable. Kawaii simply relied on Muscle memory, the hit rate is not high, and the iron is decisive.

Xiao Hang got the rebound and dribbled straight to the frontcourt. If he wanted to break the double-team, he had to break fast. He didn't run well, the formation was unstable, and he could get inside with a feint. Xiao Hang picked the basket.

This is a cycle. Xiao Hang also signaled to his teammates to strengthen the defense. As long as the defense is good and the opportunities for fast breaks are forced, then the double-teaming of the Raptors is not a big problem.

Although relying on the overall strength of the Spurs, it is no problem to play hard, but the efficiency is reduced, and the control of the normal game will also be reduced. The rhythm of the whole game is not controlled by oneself, and it is easy to go wrong in the finals.

For the Spurs, relying on the conduction ball to overwhelm the Raptors' super double-team can be used, but it is not necessary.
