0229 Front just to the end

At 7 p.m. on the 14th, the Thunder and the Spurs game started at the Ford Center, and 19,000 fans came to watch the game.

The game was not live broadcast across the United States, and apart from the two sides' toxic waves before the game, there was no other unnecessary gimmicks. It was just an ordinary regular season. However, the entire stadium was full of excitement, and many fans were excited to shout.

Amid the cheers of the audience, the national anthem was played, the lights were on, and the Thunder players prepared their own.

Su Yang grabbed Westbrook and whispered: "Stop Tony Parker with all his strength, let him attack the basket less than 10 times." Parker's breakthrough to attack the basket will greatly disrupt the Thunder's defensive lineup and may easily cause the Thunder's inner fouls. Su Yang does not want to see too high frequency.

Westbrook agreed with a heavy head, then turned around and walked into the stadium, and other starters of the two teams also entered the stadium one after another.

The five players on the Thunder are Westbrook, Seifrosa, Durant, Ibaka, and Chandler.

The five-man in the Spurs are Parker, Ginobili, Richard Jefferson, De Juan Blair, and Duncan.

Referee Sean White walked to the center circle with the ball, gestured left and right, held the basketball with both hands, and pushed up hard.

Cheers in the stadium suddenly exploded, Duncan and Chandler touched the ball almost at the same time, and the basketball was forced to fly to the Spurs halftime.

Blair grabbed the basketball and quickly retreated to the right side line to avoid potential double-teams. He bent down to protect the basketball, twisted his head and glanced alertly, then carefully handed the basketball to Parker who ran to him, as if playing the finals tiebreak.

"It seems that the guys on the other side want to win this game..." Assistant coach Brian suddenly complained.

Su Yang nodded in agreement. From Blair's subtle operations, it can be very good to infer that the Spurs were obviously prepared. "Coach Popovich is still too revenge. We swept them 4-0 before the game. He wants to beat us to death..."

While complaining, Blair crossed the ball and turned around and cut inside, which seemed unintentional, but in fact, it deliberately formed a weak lower cover.

Standing at the free throw line, I took the opportunity to step up and brought Parker to the right side line, forming a cross-block cover.

The key is that Blair is still standing at the free throw line. After the Spurs start, they form a high double screen every second.

That rhythm is as fast as one.

Seeing this, Parker stepped on the ground and accelerated, and strode away Westbrook, and rushed to the 45-degree three-point line on the left like lightning. Facing Ibaka who switched to intercept the defense, he stopped the ball and forced the brakes. The whole person turned aside and turned the ball and moved the right side.

Ibaka hurriedly retreated and returned to defense. Westbrook also seized the opportunity to chase Parker, but he didn't expect Duncan to run to the top of the arc before covering.

Chandler instinctively stayed in the right elbow area waiting. Westbrook subconsciously wanted to squeeze through the cover and chase, and his decision was all in an instant.

Unexpectedly, Parker twisted his wrist and floated to the ball with his left hand, walked 45 degrees on the left again, and made a big stride to the three-point line.

In a hurry, Westbrook was unable to turn around and chase after him. Seeing this, Ibaka stopped and retreated, and rushed towards Parker in a hurry.

"I have a bad premonition..." Su Yang suddenly felt something was wrong when he saw Ibaka rushing towards Parker without any control.

Almost at the same time, Parker stopped and closed the ball, jumped out against Ibaka, who was sprinting in front, and collided with a loud bang.

Beep! The referee Sean blew a whistle and called out Ibaka for a foul invasion of the cylinder, giving Parker two free throws.

"Ah, this..." Ibaka held his hands helplessly, as if he wanted to find the referee to argue, but he knew that he was indeed a foul.

The referee arranged the serve step by step. Su Yang waved and called Sefrosa to the sidelines, saying: "You can assist in defense depending on the situation. The opponent wants to attack the inside line and disrupt their rhythm and plan, which is successful, even if you lose some three-pointers..."

Sefrosa took the order and left, booed in the stadium, and Parker hit the first free throw steadily.

Su Yang took the time to take a look at the timer. It took only 13 seconds to issue the Spurs' first offense. Compared to the Spurs' opening attack in previous seasons, the pace is much faster. The key is that Parker takes the initiative to commit a foul, which really means he wants to kill the Thunder.

During the thoughts, the second penalty was also hit.

The two teams changed offensively, and the fans on the scene followed DJ to lead, raised their arms and shouted in unison to cheer for the Thunder.

The Spurs were very serious in keeping a full-court press to limit the Thunder's propulsion speed, and Westbrook ran to the top of the arc in six seconds.

Durant simultaneously went up the shelf wall to cover it, then took it apart in advance and ran to the right, while Westbrook took the opportunity to move to the left.

At the same time, Ibaka mentioned the arc top on his step, and set up a human wall for unball positioning cover. The Thunder small cooperation was linked together.

But Jefferson, who has always been poor in defense, seemed to be possessed by Pippen. Not only did he follow Durant in time, he also found out in advance that Ibaka had no ball positioning cover, and directly bypassed Durant, and even took the time to turn his head and glance at the basketball position.

If you don’t know Jefferson’s previous performance, you will definitely give an outside DPOY evaluation.

Westbrook failed to get a breakthrough space for a while, so he pulled the ball and changed direction to return to the top of the arc. With the help of Ibaka's horizontal movement, he found another opportunity.

Blair stopped at the free throw line early and waited. The situation of misplaced one-on-one challenge was formed like that, and Westbrook shot when he pulled up.

Blair almost simultaneously jumped and blocked to interfere with the block, the basketball slammed the iron and bounced toward the bottom corner on the left.

The players looked up at the basket, and Westbrook ran over one step ahead and caught the offensive rebound.

Seeing this, Durant ran to the top of the arc and tried to get the ball, but Jefferson followed him like a shadow, not giving him a high chance.

Faced with such a situation, Westbrook hesitated for a moment, moved the ball to the left wing, shaking his head to indicate that there was no need for cover.

Ibaka turned to retreat and retreated to his waist position, while Westbrook continued to change hands under his crotch, took three steps hard, and stopped and pulled out quickly.

When! Shooting to the basket and hit the iron.

Sighs were everywhere in Ford Center. Who would have thought that Sefrosa would rush to the basket at some point, and even the Spurs trio surrounded him and grabbed the offensive rebound, quickly moved to the bottom corner on the left, and then stopped and dodged, holding the ball with both hands to avoid double-teams.

In the chaos, the basketball flew to the top of the arc first, Westbrook jumped up to catch the ball, and Ginobili rushed to fill the spot.

The Ford Center cheered everywhere, and the basketball flew to the 45-degree three-point line on the right. Durant, who was temporarily unguarded, received the ball and was over two meters tall, heading towards Parker who had all his strength to start from the left waist position. He made a long trip and tried to block the ball, and made a ruthless long shot.

When! Shooting to the basket and hit the iron.

The basketball rebounded and jumped to the left elbow area. Ginobili jumped high and grabbed it in his hand. He landed on the ground and turned around and ran forward, but turned his head to look at Ibaka behind him. Suddenly, he held the ball with both hands and stopped suddenly, bent down and raised his butt to block Ibaka's way.

In the flash of lightning, I was eager to retreat and prevent Ibaka, so where could I have time to adjust the direction of progress?

Bang! The two collided together.

Beep! The referee blew the whistle and shouted Ibaka loose. The Ford Center immediately booed.

Ibaka was not only overturned to the ground, but also got a foul. The key is indeed a foul, and Paul also used that move.

"I'm a damn, Ginobili is not virtuous..."

Su Yang took a deep breath, turned around and signaled Jeff Green to appear, instructing Ibaka, who had committed two fouls in the first 44 seconds, to leave the court for a temporary rest, and then quickly started thinking. The Thunder rotation plan was destroyed and we had to find a way to overdo it.

While thinking, Parker dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, first searched for Blair as a cover, and broke through 45 degrees to the left.

Westbrook quickly bypassed the cover and intercepted, Parker failed to make a breakthrough, and Blair quickly turned around and ran away.

Duncan ran to the left at 45 degrees simultaneously, setting up a wall to block Westbrook, and Parker pretended to go to the right, but actually broke through to the left.

Westbrook was cheated again, Chandler was not prepared for the time being, did not lower the center of gravity in advance, and could not make effective delays.

Seeing that Parker was about to rush to the basket, Green directly gave up Blair and inserted it from the right waist to the basket to make up for defense.

Bang! Parker and Green collided in the air.

Bang! The loud hat sounded.

Beep! The referee whistle sounded.

Su Yang glared and raised his eyebrows on the spot. Thunder actually asked Parker to use the same move and committed two fouls in a row.

The fucking thing is that before the game, he made a lot of confidence in formulating strategies and prepared to kill the Spurs inside, but was defeated by counter-kill.

Assistant coach Brian proposed to ask: "If we don't temporarily reduce the defensive intensity, we can't afford Green's second foul..."
