Chapter 145: All-round Counterattack(1/2)
The game continues and the Spurs attack.
Parker dribbled the ball forward and came to the top of the arc to organize the attack.
Duncan quickly came up to coordinate the pick-and-roll.
Upon seeing this, Curry immediately took a few steps back, preparing to go around the screen in advance.
The French sports car's three-point shooting is a bit poor, with a shooting percentage of only about 30% this season and very few shots.
Therefore, elementary school students dare to let Parker shoot three-pointers.
Seeing this situation, Parker did not take a three-point shot. He was aware of his own strength and saw that he could not form a pick-and-roll and passed the ball out.
Ginobili, who was outside the three-point line on the right, received the pass and raised his hand to fake a shot. Seeing that Maggette was indifferent, he quickly released the ball and broke into the penalty area.
Maggette immediately moved sideways to block the ball and used his strong body to attack.
The advancing Ginobili was forced to stop and passed the ball to the center.
Duncan, who ran to the front of the penalty area, received the pass, against Randolph's defense, hit a mid-range jumper, then turned around and left quickly.
Sun Yi, who was about to go to receive the baseline serve, found that the Spurs players had already retreated.
"These guys retreated really fast."
Giving up fighting for offensive rebounds and increasing the speed of retreat can indeed cope with transition attacks.
Sun Yi received the ball from the baseline, dribbled the ball past half court, and came to the left three-point line to organize the attack.
The "elevator door" tactic has been made public, there is no need to hide it.
Randolph and Maggette positioned themselves directly near the free throw line.
Curry repeated his old trick and quickly rushed into the penalty area.
With the lessons learned from the past, Parker was much more cautious this time and was always prepared.
On the other side, after the primary school students rushed into the penalty area, they immediately stopped and made a U-turn.
Seeing this, the French sports car was delighted and quickly stopped the car, preparing for a frontal interception.
But this time the Warriors didn't play according to the rules.
The primary school student started up again, quickly rushed towards the basket, received Sun Yi's pass, and flew for a layup.
Parker, who was pursuing the defense, was dumbfounded again. He felt that he was being played.
Can there be more sincerity between people? Why is it all a routine!
Curry didn't pay attention to Parker's expression and quickly stepped forward to high-five Sun Yi to celebrate.
"Sun, your pass was great. I wanted to show off a dunk, but I didn't do it because I wanted to save energy. It's a pity." The primary school student said regretfully.
After hearing this, Sun Yi smiled awkwardly and complained in his heart.
"Stephen, you really don't have any ideas in mind, why do you think about dunking all day long?!"
After adjusting his mood, Sun Yi replied: "It is indeed a pity, but there are still many opportunities like this, so you can take your time."
Parker, who was going to receive the serve from the baseline, heard the conversation between the two men and almost vomited blood in anger.
Please be human and don’t act like this!
After this episode, the Spurs attacked.
Parker broke through and scored, but Jefferson missed a three-pointer from the outside.
Sun Yi rushed back to the basket to easily grab the rebound and quickly dribbled forward.
The Spurs have given up on attacking offensive rebounds, and Randolph has the good sense not to compete with him for rebounds.
Therefore, Sun Yi's rebound data has grown rapidly visible to the naked eye.
The Warriors still used their old tricks this time on offense, and after all, the effect was really good.
Curry ran in reverse, quickly passed between Randolph and Maggette, and rushed towards the top of the arc.
This time the Spurs quickly switched defenses, and Duncan immediately rushed to switch to Curry.
The Warriors once again did not follow the routine and did not pass the ball to the elementary school students.
Seeing that Curry had attracted most of the Spurs' defensive attention, Sun Yi suddenly burst out as fast as he could and passed by Ginobili.
At this time, the Spurs' penalty area was already empty. Sun Yi rushed into the penalty area, jumped into the air, swung the ball around, and slammed it into the basket.
58:66!
"What a ball! This ball shows Sun Yi's explosive physical fitness and perfectly interprets the aesthetics of violence."
In the sports channel studio, Yang Jian, who had been busy for half the game, finally made a comment before Director Zhang.
On the Spurs bench, Popovich frowned. He didn't expect that this tactics that looked like a moving screen had so many variations.
Immediately, he requested a timeout and brought the players back to the bench to make adjustments.
After Duncan and his team came to the bench, Popovich raced against time to set up tactics.
"When encountering a screen, we must change defense quickly. We cannot give Warriors player No. 30 an opportunity to easily shoot a three-pointer. We can reduce mistakes, speed up the retreat, and control the rhythm of the game in our hands."
After Popovich finished laying out the tactics, he specifically gave Ginobili a few words.
"Manu, just guard the Warriors' No. 9 player and don't worry about other things."
Ginobili nodded and prepared to play.
Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.
Once back, the Spurs played a pick-and-roll.
With the help of Duncan's pick-and-roll screen, Parker broke into the penalty area and his throw was interfered with and failed to hit.
Sun Yi grabbed the defensive rebound and advanced towards the frontcourt.
The Spurs retreated very quickly and did not give the Warriors a chance to play a fast break.
Falling into a positional battle, the Warriors once again resorted to the "elevator door" tactic.
Duncan was forced to follow out and prepare to switch defense.
If he stays in the paint, the Warriors only need a simple screen to get an open shot.
Ginobili kept the coach's instructions in mind and kept a close eye on Sun Yi, so as not to make the same mistake again.
On the other side, Curry started running quickly and ran towards the three-point line on the right side.
Maggette and Randolph quickly closed the "elevator door" after seeing Curry running over.
Jefferson immediately changed defense and chased in the direction of Curry.
At this moment, Maggette started quickly and rushed towards the basket from the right.
Sun Yi, who was holding the ball at the top of the arc, immediately threw the ball toward the basket and turned around to defend in advance.
Maggette rushed into the penalty area, jumped up hard, caught the basketball in the air with both hands, and dunked it into the basket.
Duncan, who was pursuing the defense, immediately stopped when he saw this situation. There was no need to pay for a foul.
If he had been a few years younger, he could have defended this ball.
"Hey! It's great to be young!"
Maybe at a certain moment Deng Daidai will feel that he is a veteran.
The ball is transferred and the Spurs attack.
Parker dribbled to outside the three-point line and passed the ball to Duncan.
In the low post area on the right, Deng Dadai had just received the pass and was immediately double-teamed by the Warriors. He quickly passed the ball back to Parker.
After receiving the ball, the French sports car immediately passed the ball out.
After receiving the ball, Ginobili immediately took off and shot.
Maggette, who quickly came to change defense, rushed forward and stretched his arms to interfere.
Bang!
Strike an iron blow in anger!
Sun Yi retreated to the basket to grab the backcourt rebound, took a dribble step, and flicked the ball forward.
Maggette, who was on the fast break, received the pass, rushed into the penalty area, used his strong physical fitness to knock Ginobili away, and flew for a layup.
Looking back, the Spurs patiently passed the ball in order to break the scoring drought.
Ginobili used the cover of his teammates to break through to the basket, took a smart European step, hit the basket and caused a foul.
With the fans cheering, Ginobili stood on the free throw line, took the basketball from the referee, and made two free throws steadily.
62:68!
The Warriors served quickly, and Sun Yi dribbled the ball across half court, reached outside the three-point line, and handed the ball to Ellis.
Xiao Gongju has rested long enough, and it's his turn to deliver offensive firepower.
