0468 This is my Curry
"They will focus on defending Vazquez next. We must do a good job of receiving and conducting to avoid live ball mistakes..."
In Su Yang's opinion, the Spurs had no problem with the start of the offense, they were very skilled in position routines, and the fast attack choice was very correct.
Even if Parker broke into the basket and was forced to pass the ball at a high risk, he suddenly stopped and jumped and threw the ball, it was all reasonable.
The problem is that the Spurs did not defend against the King's super fast attack.
Specifically, Parker failed to defend Vazquez.
Probably because Vazquez is a pure point guard for a long time in the Kings, occasionally shooting two open three-pointers and playing with emergency stop shots.
But now the attack is suddenly around Vazquez, similar to the "seven-second attack" of the Suns D'Antoni era, frequently covering both screens in advance or covering quickly at high positions. The Spurs did not expect that they would not respond enough to the opening game.
Between words, the sound of a brief pause sounded.
The players of both teams returned to the field and the game continued.
The Spurs kicked off in the backcourt, or Danny Green led the run, transferred the strong and weak side, and finally passed it to Duncan to play at a low post. However, too much time was spent. Duncan hurriedly turned around and hooked up to hit the iron, but Split grabbed the offensive rebound and scored with a combined encirclement.
The two teams changed offensively, and the Spurs adjusted their defensive strategies as Su Yang predicted. Split's mid-line position followed Cousins, and he also took the initiative to make physical contact. Parker also approached Vazquez in advance, but Duncan still chose to stay at the free throw line.
Seeing the Spurs' operations like this, Su Yang shouted and reminded him to continue to cover the double. The Spurs' adjustments did not change qualitatively, only quantitatively.
As long as Duncan doesn't rob it, he can fight with double cover.
As usual, Watzquez dribbled the ball from the right wing to the top of the arc, Duncan still stayed at the free throw line, but Leonard contracted from the left. During this period, Cousins took apart and turned around, cutting in along the edge of the paint area on the right, Thompson followed closely behind and prepared to cover.
In the flash, Vazquez felt that it was difficult to break through Leonard to assist in defense. The three-pointer passed to Antetokounmpo was inefficient in robbing, and immediately stopped and looked to the inside. Cousins immediately stopped and turned around, and with the help of Thompson's cover, he strode to 45 degrees to the right.
Duncan decisively switched to prevent interception Cousins, but Thompson rushed to the basket at the same time, and Vazquez raised his hand and passed the ball straight to the basket.
Just as Thompson got the ball and was about to take off, Green came from the left short corner bag and joined forces with Sputry to form a front and rear double-team. But after all, Green was a 196-centimeter defender. He had no choice but to meet Thompson in the reasonable collision zone.
Thompson forced his jump without hesitation and easily put the ball into the Nets. The referee blew the whistle and blew Green to a foul.
"Woooooooooooooooooo..." The booed in the stadium, and Green raised his hands and shouted with his head in his arms, as if he was complaining about the foul.
Su Yang raised his hand and applauded, mainly to applaud Vazquez, because the straight pass just now was too good, and Thompson could score 21, at least Vazquez eight succeeded. By the way, he lamented that D'Antoni system was too good to make the point guard outstanding.
It was only two and a half points at the beginning, and Vazquez had 2 points and 3 assists. If it was passed to Sauton, it would be 4 assists, not including the screening for Cousins at the beginning, which indirectly led to Antetokounmpo assisting Cousins to score.
If you say Vazquez can be very strong, it is not very strong either.
But the tactical inclination makes Vazquez like Nash, with sharp personal passes, good at shooting, and tall figure all reflecting the characteristics of Mavericks boss Cuban: Any NBA player can score 20 points as long as he is tactical inclination.
While thinking, Thompson made a free throw, and the Kings led 11-6. The players quickly retreated according to Su Yang's arrangement. Unlike the usual free throw, they pressed the whole game to defend fast attacks after the penalty kick, the Spurs cooperated too smoothly, so it's best not to take risks and defend their positions honestly.
On-court offense and defense were converted, Parker was holding the ball with the right wing and waiting, and Leonard used Duncan's cover to head straight to the top of the arc from a short corner.
With a typical zipper starting, Parker raised his hands up to pass the ball, suddenly turned to face his left waist, and changed to a pass to Duncan.
Wazques was already worried that Parker would suffer too much because of his slow horizontal movement. He also tried to shrink as much as possible according to Su Yang's requirements. At the beginning, he didn't have to pay much attention to Parker's three-pointer. At this moment, he saw Parker's basketball being directly above him, so he quickly jumped up and fought for it.
Seeing this, Duncan hurriedly got up and fought, but he couldn't resist a Thompson behind him, and his movements did not fully stretch.
Vazquez caught the basketball and rushed forward directly after landing. He arrived at the right wing in five seconds, stopped and slowed down, facing Duncan's close-fitting defense. Parker, who was originally responsible for defending him, had already stood on the right waist position because he wanted to prevent him from passing a long pass.
The opportunity to misalign has already appeared. Thompson hurriedly turned around to hold Parker back, and Vazquez raised his hands to pass the basketball.
Duncan suddenly turned around and double-teamed like he had eyes on his head. Thompson hurriedly passed the ball back, and Vazquez received the ball with an open three-pointer.
Swish! The basketball is hollow into the net.
Leading 14-6, the King cheered and applauded on the bench, and Su Yang smiled and put his hips on his hips: "Now it's really Nash!"
On the Spurs, Popovich roared angrily: "Tony, what are you doing!" The angry expression wanted to tear Parker apart.
Parker had no choice but to curl his lips, knowing that he had made some mistakes. He despised the king before the timeout, and shouldn't have despised the king after the timeout, so he did not follow the tactics, but wanted to directly hang Duncan, but the king was just scorn and suddenly exploded the point guard.
While thinking, Parker dribbled the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt, without calling tactics, directly covered Split, broke through on the sideline, threw away Vazquez in one step, quickly reached the left team position, ignored Cousins' threat to prevent the threat, and stopped and jumped to the mid-range shot.
The basketball went into the net in a hollow, and cheers came again on the spot. Parker landed and turned back to defend, thinking that I could also play fast attacks.
The King of Changes attacked, with the right wing fast pick-and-roll, Vazquez broke through in the top of the arc, and passed the ball to Cousins who was slipping to the basket.
He doesn't even have double screens, and he insists on not having time to rotate and assist in defense against the Spurs, so as to minimize the Spurs' overall defensive ability, amplify Parker's weakness in pick-and-roll defense, and Split's speed disadvantage, so that the offense can take place within the King's strongest range.
Amid the screams of exclamations in the audience, Split raised his hands to prepare for air combat interference, but Cousins stopped suddenly and turned around and hooked.
The basketball went into the net with a hollow hole, 16 to 8.
It was another 8 seconds of offense, and the Spurs' exquisite defensive system was not expanded at all, and the defensive shortcomings were fully exposed.
In the offense and defense transition, Parker dribbled the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt, paused and observed for a moment, and used Duncan's cover to launch a breakthrough, pretending to go online, but in fact he went to the bottom line. He saw that Thompson changed to prevent interception and skillfully stopped the top and turned around, but the space and angle were too small.
After turning around and failing to break through, Parker stopped again and continued to turn around as the axis, but the kinetic energy was obviously exhausted and there was no change in any move.
Thompson hurriedly raised his hands to interfere. In the chaos, Parker fell to the ground and concealed the ball. Cousins picked it up nearby and rushed forward.
Boos exploded in the stadium, the Kings made a three-line fast break, Vazquez received the ball from the right, slowed down 45 degrees, and raised his hand to the left for a long pass.
Sauton received the ball at the 45-degree three-point line on the left, followed the trend and closed the open three-pointer, responsible for defending Green. Because he wanted to defend the third-line fast attack, he had already retreated to the paint area. It was impossible to return to defense in a hurry, and the basketball then made a hollow sound into the net.
"Oh, this is not Nash, this is Stephen Curry!" Su Yang was very happy, and Vazquez exploded at the beginning.
The Spurs calmly kicked off the backcourt, and after a complicated transmission of the run, Parker easily got rid of Wazquez with the help of cover, and shot two points against Cousins, scoring to 10-19, and he held on tightly. The game only played for 4 minutes.
The King of Changes attacked, foreign capital shot and shot in the middle distance when they lost money, the Spurs got rebounds and the fast break counterattack, and Green scored three-pointers.
Split grabbed the offensive rebound, went to the bottom line and forced the basket to foul Cousins, and the substitution whistle sounded simultaneously.
Su Yang subconsciously turned his head to look at the Spurs and found that Ginobili came on the field to replace Green. Popovich seemed anxious.
Chapter completed!
