On the Thunder bench, Durant and others surrounded Su Yang, waiting to arrange precautions.

"We don't have to worry about how the opponent will adjust the defense. Anyway, the general direction should be to strengthen the outside defense. We can implement the strategies arranged before the game, mainly attacking the Spurs' inside, creating fouls, and weakening their defensive system..."

In a few simple words, Su Yang paid attention to things after finishing it, and there was no need to think about how Popovich would make specific adjustments, and he was not worried.

The whistle sounded at the end of the pause and the announcer whistled: The Spurs used McDaise to replace Blair.

In that case, the replacement operation naturally requires the use of McDyce's central shot ability to increase breakthrough space for Parker and others.

Beep! The referee whistle whistle is ticking.

The Spurs kicked off in the backcourt, Parker received a jog in his hand and pushed forward. The audience shouted in unison: "Defense, defense..."

Ginobili got the ball from the left sideline of the frontcourt and passed it to Mike Dais who followed up to the top of the arc in the middle, while Parker just ran to the right wing.

The eight-character transmission suddenly formed, and the space on the right was cleared. Parker took the ball and went to the sideline direction, and forced Westbrook to break out.

Westbrook held up his left hand all the way, always sticking to Parker close to him, without giving him any easy chance to score.

The two rushed to the basket in the blink of an eye. Chandler stared at it, but Parker couldn't take action, so he stopped and jumped to pass the ball.

Ginobili jumped up and received the ball in the air, and immediately turned in the direction when he landed, pushing the ball with one hand with his left hand.

Seeing this, Green hurriedly pulled back from the paint area to defend, but the passing rhythm was too fast, and McDace shot as soon as he received the ball.

The basketball went into the net hollow, the Spurs caught the score to 7-9, and Duncan and others quickly turned around and retreated.

The strategy is obviously to limit the Thunder's attack in advance. Seeing this, Su Yang raised his hand and signaled that he could land on the position. Now the game is just playing in the first quarter. There is no need to compete with a group of old men for speed. Score in a different way first to weaken the fighting spirit of the Spurs.

Westbrook immediately dribbled the ball, but did not call for a new tactical gesture, but instead continued to take the five-for-one formation by default.

Green and Chandler still worked together to provide ladder cover in the left wing area, and Durant also started from the left bottom corner.

Amid the cheers of the whole field, Durant still took the ball with a 45-degree three-point line on the left, and passed it to Chandler who cut in with a sudden stop.

Even Su Yang did not react to the sudden pass, and the Spurs' generals did not adjust their attention in time.

Duncan rushed to the basket and collided head-on with Chandler, who was holding the ball and both landed.

The referee then blew a whistle, urging Duncan to block the foul, giving the Thunder a second offensive ball on the left sideline.

Seeing this, the fans on the sidelines applauded first. Chandler ran to the referee and said, "It was a shooting foul just now..."

The implication is that two free throws should be given.

Then I thought that the referee Sean dug Chandler for a technical foul and gave the Spurs a free throw opportunity.

The Ford Center suddenly booed, and Su Yang smiled and crossed his legs, thinking that what if he was okay to mess with the referee.

With the booing of the whole field, Ginobili performed a technical foul free throw and hit a steadily, and the Spurs chased to 8-9.

The Thunder then executed the sideline ball, and Su Yang arranged a continuous cover tactic to try to create a misalignment.

The referee's whistle sounded and Westbrook started from the bottom corner, and with the help of Chandler's cover, he received Durant's pass from the left wing.

Durant then made great strides into the field, and also used Chandler's cover to throw away Jefferson and headed straight for the basket.

Duncan calmly shrank into the paint area, blocking the space rushing towards the basket in advance, and controlling the high-level pass route. Su Yang saw it and couldn't help but sigh that Duncan's defense is really good, but it looks very ordinary and it is difficult to get the best defensive player.

While sighing, Durant stopped suddenly and turned around again with the help of Chandler's cover, he threw away Jefferson and rushed straight to the top of the arc.

Westbrook rushed towards Durant simultaneously, and the two of them performed ghost cover while moving, successfully attracting the Spurs to double-team.

Westbrook stopped suddenly and turned around and threw the ball towards the top of the arc, but Durant had just taken it in his hand, and Parker also returned to the defense to block the way.

Durant immediately dropped the ball in a straight step, and broke through Parker with a big step and rushed to the free throw line. Seeing Ginobili moving horizontally to assist in defense, McDace also moved horizontally in advance to block the ball, decisively closing the ball around the top, preparing to stop and turn it over to Green at the bottom corner.

Then I thought that Ginobili took a slight hike and slapped Durant's basketball in his hand.

McDace picked up the basketball nearby and pushed it towards the center line, with the direction being a bit outrageously tilted.

Westbrook, who was quickly returning to defense, caught the basketball, turned around and took it to the 45-degree three-point line on the right. Seeing that the Spurs' defensive formation was already in chaos, he waved directly to launch an early attack. Then, with the help of Green's cover, he broke through Ginobili in one step.

The Spurs instantly surrounded the three of them, but Westbrook stopped and jumped on the right waist, twisted his body in the air and passed the ball towards the bottom corner on the left.

Durant received the ball in a large open space, raised his hand and scored a three-pointer. The basketball banged the iron and rebounded, and the sighs resounded throughout the stadium.

"Is this too little difficulty going to reduce hit rate?"

Su Yang shook his head and put down his legs, suspecting that Durant had just recalled the pain of being a fixed-point three-pointer shooter in the first year of the rookie.

The Spurs grabbed the rebound and launched a fast break. Parker took the ball and entered the Thunder encirclement alone. He had to take action halfway through the layup. Perhaps because he was afraid of being pinned by Sefrosa, he actually chose to turn around and pass the ball, but unexpectedly passed it to Westbrook, who was waiting to grab the board.

"Ah, this?"

Su Yang was a little confused. Parker was a tried-and-tested FMVP, so how could he make such a low-level mistake?

Cheers were everywhere in the stadium, Westbrook ran wildly with the ball, rushed to the paint area in four seconds, and forced himself to fight against Mike Dyce.

Beep! The referee whistle.

McDyce made a foul and Westbrook received two free throws.

Assistant coach Brian said: "The strategy we formulated before the game has been effective, and the Spurs have already made two fouls in the interior..."

Su Yang nodded, thinking that the Spurs' defensive level in the 10-11 season has dropped significantly compared to before, but they still ranked around the bottom thirteenth in the league in terms of points loss per game, mainly relying on Duncan's personal support and the team strictly implementing the strategy of blocking the middle and letting the edge.

The inside line is needed to block the block. If the Spurs are troubled by fouls, the Spurs' defensive system will inevitably collapse.

With thoughts, Westbrook hit both free throws.

The Spurs counterattacked, Parker dribbled the ball to the left wing, slowed down and observed for a while, and used Duncan to cover the breakthrough.

The Thunder generals were not worried about fouls. Green took the lead in shrinking double-teaming from the short corner, just to fight head-on.

Parker had no choice but to stop and threw the ball towards the top of the arc, while Ginobili received the ball and rushed towards Sefrosa who was withdrawing back to defend.

Sefrosa's pace was restricted for a while, and Durant did not hesitate to shrink from the right side to block it, and Jefferson got a large open space.

Ginobili seemed to have a downward angle, and instantly stopped and threw the ball to the right wing, while Jefferson received the ball and scored a three-pointer.

When! The basketball hits the basket and hits the iron and rebounds.

The players of the two teams jumped up and fought for several times. Chandler finally caught the rebound, and Westbrook stepped forward to get the ball and slowly advanced.

The Thunder fell to the frontcourt, Westbrook dribbled the ball and stopped on the left wing. Durant used Chandler's cover to catch the ball. Green simultaneously mentioned the arc-top wall to cover it. Durant started and rushed to the free throw line and changed directions to make layups in succession as Mike Dais.

McDace swayed, and in a hurry, subconsciously reached out to get the basketball and hit the arm with a snap.

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, McDace took a foul for the second time in a short period of time, and Durant received two free throws.

The announcer immediately followed and said: The Spurs used De Juan Blair to replace Antonio McDyce.

Su Yang shouted with the fans on the scene, happy to see the initial success of the attacking inside strategy formulated before the game.

The key is all in control. First, use the outside line to attack in advance to open up the situation, forcing the Spurs to increase the outside defense, which will cause the Spurs to be empty inside. Otherwise, even if Durant and Westbrook are busy rushing, their efficiency will not be much higher.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Durant made both free throws.

The two teams changed offensively, the Spurs fell to the position, and Duncan was disturbed by the right waist, so he simply mentioned the 45-degree catch.

The right half was cleared simultaneously. Duncan raised the ball with both hands and observed for a while, turned around and handed it to Parker who ran to him.

The two suddenly formed a pick-and-roll cooperation, Parker dribbled the ball and rushed into the inside, and Chandler and Westbrook firmly double-teamed.

Anyway, the strategy of preventing breakthroughs and attacking the basket remains unchanged, and the Spurs are unable to change the Thunder's defensive formation, even if they take fouls.

Parker had no choice but to stop and twisted his head and threw the ball towards the top of the arc.

Duncan took the ball and falsified Chandler, who took advantage of the opportunity to break through and return to defense, took a big step and rushed straight to the basket.

At this time, the Thunder were empty under the basket. Seeing that Duncan was about to close the ball and make a layup, Green boldly moved sideways outside the reasonable collision zone.

Bang! The two collided head-on.

The referee blew a whistle and sweared Duncan to a foul on the offensive, Popovich furiously, and Ford Center cheered.

The short whistle sounded simultaneously, and the Spurs arranged for Split to take the field to replace Duncan, who had already committed two fouls.
Chapter completed!
