The offense and defense were converted on the field, and the Spurs also formed four outside and one inside formation. Duncan mentioned that the right wing and Hill were playing pick-and-rolls.

Jordan Jordan decisively followed Su Yang's arrangement and decisively stepped forward to delay, blocking the space in the top of the arc, forcing Hill to go to the bottom line.

Unfortunately, Duncan turned around and cut inside, Hill hit the ball very tacitly, and the Thunder's first defensive strategy failed.

Jeff Green immediately contracted from the weak side to the basket to block the interception, while Matthews moved horizontally from the right corner to control Duncan's dribble route. The Thunder used a typical local three-defense and two-strategy. If the size is not enough, the head will be collected and forced to lock Duncan's pick-and-roll and cut in.

Seeing this, Su Yang was about to applaud, but at the same time he saw Jeff Green stretching out his hands to put them in front of his chest.

That kind of defensive posture is very bad. The correct defensive posture should raise your hands high or your hands sag naturally.

Su Yang wanted to make a sound reminder, but Duncan had already hugged the basketball and squeezed over to Green's outstretched hands.

Beep! The whistle sounded, and the referee called the Greene foul, giving Duncan two free throws.

Cheers broke out in the ATT center, Green was a little surprised and annoyed, and walked away angrily.

Hadang walked over and patted Green on his back to comfort Green, muttering something, and raised his hand to gesture, with a very happy expression, as if saying: Brother, just defend like you, I can make you ten fouls in a row, you should defend like this...

Su Yang clapped and encouraged her, knowing that Green was indeed incorrect in her defensive posture, but the root cause of the problem was not Green, and the Thunder did not make any defensive mistakes. The Spurs were able to play this ball because Hill was too powerful in the ground pass, which was a method of breaking with force.

Taking advantage of the referee's free throw, Su Yang called Harden and Matthews to the sidelines and quickly adjusted his playing style for the last two and a half minutes.

The free throw began in a blink of an eye, cheers rang in the stadium, Duncan made both free throws, helping the Spurs tie the score.

The Thunder then launched an attack, Harden dribbled the ball and pushed forward, raising his hand in the middle line to signal the delay formation to land.

Matthews and others looked for positions to stand firm. Harden dribbled the ball and ran across the center line and passed it to Durant at the top of the arc.

Because Durant served as power forward, the Spurs were against him, and the one-on-one situation was obviously unpredictable.

The Spurs naturally focused their defense on the top of the arc. On the Thunder, Green took the opportunity to lift the bottom corner from the right and at the 45-degree three-point line to provide a flare cover for Harden who was rushing towards him. Harden ran smoothly to the bottom corner on the right.

At the same time, Durant held up the basketball with both hands to prepare for a long pass, and the Spurs bench players hurriedly shouted to remind their teammates on the court.

Hill hurriedly bypassed the cover and tried to get close to Harden when he received the ball, but when Harden saw Hill running like this, he immediately stopped and stepped back, raised his hand to take Durant's pass, and made a random step to find the rhythm, ignoring Jefferson's potential blocking threat and snatched three-pointers.

Dong! The basketball flips into the net, 29 to 26.

The generals on the Spurs bench were silent. After years of professional tactical training, they could see that the Thunder offensive tactics are neither simple nor complicated, and it is very easy to create scoring opportunities. There is a threat to almost every position, which is hard to defend.

On the Thunder, Su Yang applauded happily. The offensive tactics just now were a perfect balance between player abilities and efficiency. Of course Durant can eat Bonner alone, and Harden can also force Hill, but the efficiency will be low. It would be awful to play one by one and four.

The offense and defense were changed, and the Spurs continued to take the position in the inner and four outer formations.

Duncan received the ball from the top of the arc, turned around and passed Ginobili on the left, and ran over to build a wall to cover it.

Meanwhile, Bonner landed in the short corner on the left, Hill ran to the bottom corner on the right, swapping positions with Jefferson.

In the blink of an eye, the Spurs formed the same tactical routine as before the previous round - Back   action.

The offense and defense process is like a single loop, with the Thunder double-teaming force Ginobili to the top of the arc, while Duncan took the opportunity to turn around and cut in.

But unlike before, Durant did not make up for Duncan, but ran out with Bonner. Green turned to the free throw line area from the right side, cut off the passing route between Ginobili and Duncan, and induced Ginobili to pass the ball to Jefferson.

Perhaps there was no way. Ginobili knew that he was cheating, but he still bit the bullet and threw the ball towards the right wing.

Jefferson hesitated for a while and faced Green who was returning to defense, he jumped and shot three-pointers with some difficulty.

When! The basketball smashed the basket and hit the iron, the sighs resounded throughout the stadium.

Duncan wanted to jump and compete for the frontcourt rebound, but was delayed by Jordan, who returned to defense.

Matthews in the right corner rushed to get the rebound, and landed and threw it to Durant who had already reached the center line.

The Thunder launched a fast attack counterattack instantly, and Bonner, who was closest to Durant, could not pose any defensive threat.

Amid the booing, Ginobili hurriedly switched defense and tried to intercept, but Durant threw the ball towards the sideline without hesitation.

Harden raised his hand to catch the ball, and there was no defense of the Spurs players for two meters. He stood firmly and adjusted his posture and easily made three-pointers.

Swish! The basketball is hollow into the net, 32 to 26.

"Okay!" Su Yang applauded and cheered, and gave Jordan two thumbs up to praise him.

At that time, Duncan stood at the basket as a big man. If Jordan Jr. succeeded in fighting with him, it would be a highlight moment.

But Jordan Jr. is willing to make sacrifices and use positioning to ensure that Matthews grabs the rebounds, and exchanges for a team's fast break scoring opportunity. His personal data has not increased at all. That is really rare, which is very different from the image of snatching teammate's rebounds.

With a thoughtful look, the Spurs made a quick attack, and Ginobili rushed to the basket with one dragon, carrying Matthews to force a layup.

Matthews always raised his left hand to interfere, chasing with broken steps, and had a very good defensive habit and did not give him any chance to commit fouls.

Bang! The basketball rebounded and fell.

Matthews rapped the racket towards Green, and Green turned around and rushed two steps with the ball, raising his hand to pass directly to the left wing of the frontcourt.

The basketball flew through the half, Harden took the ball sideways and turned around and posed in three threatening positions in front of the basket.

Seeing this, Jordan Jr. ran over to build a wall to cover it, attracting a lot of defensive attention. Harden suddenly threw the ball into the basket. At the same time, Durant ran back and got rid of Bonner, rushed to the basket with the advantage of speed, jumped high, and received an empty dunk with one hand.

Su Yang glanced at the scoreboard and smiled and said, "It seems that I made a mistake in prediction. We not only did not fall behind, but instead led."

The three assistant coaches chuckled, knowing that Su Yang was competing in Versailles again, who would have thought that Harden would be so fierce after he came on the court?

With one minute left in the first quarter, the Spurs launched an attack, Hill dribbled the ball across the center line, holding up his right hand to command.

Duncan immediately mentioned the left elbow area, and Hill raised his hand and passed the ball over, blocked Matthews with big strodes, gave Ginobili a no-ball cover, then turned around and ran to the paint area, preparing to move along the bottom line to the right, and fully crafted tactical literacy.

At the same time, Ginobili took the opportunity to rush to the left elbow area, took the pass by Duncan, and twisted his hips and rushed straight to the basket.

The pace was very fast, and the thunder weak side had no time to delay.

Duncan's cover quality was very high. Whether Matthews squeezed through the cover or bypassed the cover, they were all half a beat slower.

But Harden has seen through everything, as if he turned on the red-eye mode, standing in advance on the edge of the reasonable collision zone.

In an instant, Ginobili, who was sprinting at high speed, was forced to take European steps and stomp in a hurry.

The whistle sounded, and the referee made a mistake in the verdict, indicating that the ball rights were converted, and the Thunder got the ball rights in the backcourt.

The audience booed wildly, and the Thunder continued to delay the formation and landed. Harden dribbled the ball to the right and threw it to the top of the arc as usual.

Seeing Harden give the ball, Green simultaneously lifted it from the bottom corner, preparing to do flare cover and repeat the previous tactics.

The Spurs responded in a hurry, but Harden did not receive the ball after running to the bottom corner, but instead stopped and ran backwards with Green's cover, quickly ran back to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, forming a hand-handed cover cooperation with Durant, and in disguise, it formed a Chicago tactic.

The misaligned defense suddenly formed, but Bonner couldn't even keep up with Durant, let alone Harden, who was faster.

In a hurry, Duncan moved horizontally from his waist and subconsciously raised his hand to cut off the basketball exposed by Harden.

But he never expected that Harden took the initiative to approach his body and made a layup on his arm.

Beep! The whistle sounded, and the referee called Duncan's foul, and signaled that the two-point goal was valid, and Harden was given another extra penalty.

Duncan was stunned on the spot and immediately recalled the past when he was laughing and was fouled while sitting on the bench, and was equally surprised.

TNT commentator Kenny Smith laughed: "Haha, if you hit the extra penalty, the Thunder will lead by 11 points."
Chapter completed!
