0722 There is no problem with the play style, come back this time
After the speech was completed, the atmosphere of the team was slightly improved.
But after all, it was 0 to 3. NBA history has never had a turnaround case, and the king and generals still cannot completely relax their expressions.
Seeing this, Su Yang didn't say much, and then announced: "Tomorrow's joint training will be cancelled. Don't do personal training. First, empty your head and relieve the depression of being beaten up continuously. We have no problem playing style, and we can come back the day after tomorrow!"
Antetokounmpo and others nodded one after another, and the whole team surrounded him as usual, fisting shoulder to shoulder, shouting in unison 123 Kings.
Early the next morning, Su Yang ran to the training base by himself.
As expected, Mike Brown was also here to be the assistant coach, and West also deliberately ended his vacation early and returned. The coaching staff gathered together to study the third game video as usual. It was still Su Yang's previous idea: Don't play reasonable basketball.
After watching the video analysis for half an hour, Mike Brown frowned for a moment and said, "I must tell you, I think it's not that we have a problem with the style of playing, but that the Spurs played too well. Paul Gasol is at his age and has played in the same state as 10 years. Aldridge is even more confident and has no hesitation like before. The Spurs are like being witchcrafted and have improved their level..."
"The last time I saw Leonard's playoff performance, was Jordan, who played against the Lakers in the 1991 Finals..." Di Brown had an incredible expression on his face, "Leonard played better in this round of the series than in the first round, like a high-end robot."
The coaching staff spoke one after another.
Su Yang finally concluded: "So, in tomorrow night's game, we must first keep the players calm and not collapse."
While the meeting was held, the outside world's hot discussions about the Kings and Spurs series have been dominating the list for almost twelve hours.
Unlike the previous initiatives of Bill Simmons and Pippen, a large number of so-called neutral fans emerged, mocking Su Yang for not coaching without a superstar, mocking Curry for not winning without a strong forward player, and claiming that the King's Age is over.
In an interview, local fans in Sacheng were very clear about the righteousness. Most of them pointed out that the team's injury was serious. Even if they were swept 0-4, it had nothing to do with Su Yang or any player. After all, injuries cannot be avoided, so I can only say that my luck is too bad.
Some fans also pointed out that the King still has hope.
The main reason is that the Spurs have no more moves available, and Curry recovers better, and he will definitely make progress after another day of rest.
No. 5,
The fourth game of the second round of the playoffs between the Kings and the Spurs started at the Golden One Center in Saskatchewan, and the seats were still full.
The appearance ceremony was completed and the lights were on.
The flags supporting the Kings suddenly unfolded from around the arena, and more than 18,000 people shouted in unison.
Su Yang's eyes were instantly wet, and he hurriedly called on the whole team to gather around him, and once again emphasized the strategy arranged before the game: rush up and change.
It sounds simple, but it is actually quite difficult, especially since Curry just returned from injury, and the Spurs also have a lot of defensive resources.
Fortunately, the enthusiastic support from the fans obviously brought a lot of encouragement to the Kings and generals, and Antetokounmpo is ready to go.
Of course, hitting fast is just the overall strategy.
The specific strategy also has a dead pass route. It would rather be beaten to death by Leonard than allow the Spurs to easily transfer the ball.
The long whistle sounded followed.
The starter players of the two teams entered the field, and the Spurs made changes. Parker actually replaced Mills, and seemed to want to be stable.
On the tnt live broadcast seat, Reggie Miller raised his eyebrows slightly: "I don't know why, the Spurs' starting point guard changed from substitute Mills to the original starting Parker, which reminded me of the 2009 Finals, after Nelson returned, to replace Alstom's starter."
Isaiah Thomas smiled and said, "I understand what you want to say, but that's Popovich, not Stan Van Gundy."
Miller shrugged: "I hope."
Between the conversation, the starting players of both teams were determined.
On the Spurs, Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, Aldridge, Gasol.
On the king's side, Curry, Raven, Tatum, Antetokounmpo, Daluo.
The announcer yelled to jump the ball.
The cheers exploded simultaneously, the Spurs won the jump ball, and started to transfer the strength and weakness. After the high pick-and-roll, they handed it to Leonard, who was mentioned at the top of the arc, and then Gasol continued to carry it as a cover. On the King's side, Lopez stayed in the paint area according to the arrangement.
Leonard rushed forward and tried, but found that there was no possibility, so he stopped quickly and turned around and distributed the ball to Gasol. However, there was no time left for the attack. Danny Green hurriedly rushed up, took over and passed the ball, rolled the ball into the inside line, glided and threw the ball to the board.
Basketball slams the iron.
The inside line suddenly became a ball, and the basketball flew to the three-point line under force. Curry took the opportunity to bend down and picked it up, then got up and made a long pass on the right side of the frontcourt. Antetokounmpo received the ball like a beast, and directly combined the ball into the basket with one step inside the three-point line, causing Leonard to commit a defensive foul.
The referee blew his whistle to indicate two free throws.
The audience behind the basket immediately applauded and cheered, and the yellow inflatable stick in his hands sounded, and the atmosphere suddenly rose.
Watching Antetokounmpo walk onto the free throw line, Su Yang sat down and complained casually: "The Spurs don't seem to have any chance for us, but they actually arranged for Leonard to chase Giannis throughout the game. Although Aldridge really can't catch up, that's too hard."
Mike Brown chuckled: "Respect! That's Bobo's greatest respect for you. He knows you won't give up. He played against you too many times. Any mistake in his Spurs may lead to losing, so he arranged for the more experienced Parker to play and control the game..."
Su Yang thought I was going to die.
With emotion, Antetokounmpo made a first free throw, but fortunately, the Spurs immediately kicked off the backcourt and launched an attack.
Parker quickly led the ball across the center line and passed it to Gasol, who was on the back of the 45-degree three-point line on the right, then strode into the inside line, but suddenly turned back to the top of the arc, which seemed to be about to pass the paint area diagonally to make a strong and weak transfer. In fact, it cooperated with Leonard, who ran over with the help of cover, which was an improved version of the triangle offensive split, but the Kings' defense was not chaotic.
Leonard failed to cut in, and Parker immediately received the ball from the top of the arc, moved to the 45-degree three-point line on the left, cooperated with Ade in pick-and-roll, faced the Kings' dorp coverage defensive strategy, and suddenly raised his hand to the ground and pass the ball in his pocket.
Ade received the ball in the left elbow area and raised his hand to make his signature straight-arm jump shot. The basketball went into the net with a hollow hole, and the whole movement was beautiful.
Su Yang raised his eyebrows when he saw it, thinking that Ade's mid-range shot was too perverted, but fortunately, his routine was relatively fixed, unlike Nowitzki, who did everything.
The king landed on the field.
Curry passed the ball on the left waist position, Daluo received the ball with his back and made a strong move, making his signature forward turn, but saw Leonard shrinking his double-team and hurriedly raised his hand to throw the ball to the right wing, while Curry received the ball and raised his hand to shoot, but unfortunately he couldn't fly back to defense Leonard.
At that moment, Leonard's defensive attributes were full.
It can quickly double-team, quickly return to defense, and not be shaking.
Curry's thoughts flashed, thinking of what Su Yang said before the game: Everyone, don't hold the ball at will against Leonard. He immediately moved to the right along the sideline, and with the help of Antetokounmpo's cover, he was dislocated to Ade, who had switched defenses, and swayed continuously under his crotch, and suddenly retreated three points horizontally.
Swish! The basketball is hollow into the net.
"Shredded Coconut!"
Su Yang jumped up and waved his fists and shouted, thinking that as long as Curry felt good at the start, he might force the Spurs to change their defensive strategy, and the Spurs would have a greater chance of making mistakes. As long as the Kings could seize those opportunities, they could win the game better.
On-field offense and defense conversion.
Parker dribbled the ball and rushed to 45 degrees on the right side, and directly tried to break through with the help of Ade's cover. Antetokounmpo decisively stepped forward and made a big delay, but rather than double-teaming, it was more to stop Parker's potential pass, after all, the Parker Spurs had the least threat.
But who would have thought that Parker would throw the ball instantly?
Ade, who turned around and cut inside, received the ball, jumped against the right corner of the bottom, and confidently threw a throw.
The basketball slammed and the Kings grabbed the rebound and counterattacked. Curry dribbled the ball to the front three-point line with one dragon, and rushed to the frontcourt three-point line and stopped to shoot.
It was also a slap in the ironclad, but Su Yang applauded and cheered. As long as Curry dared to vote, it means that he was in a good state and there was no need to worry.
The Spurs counterattacked here, Gasol covered Leonard and then took the ball and made a layup. He was a little hurried and did not control his hand shape well.
The basketball fell down, Daluo received the rebound and immediately passed it to Curry. The Kings team suddenly launched a fast break counterattack.
Cheers were everywhere in the stadium, and Antetokounmpo received a long pass from the left elbow area of the frontcourt, jumping against Leonard and Ad.
Unfortunately, two points were a little bigger, and the basketball was slammed by iron. For Antetokounmpo, it was a low-level mistake.
In fact, you can be stable or continue to rush to the basket, but it is not so easy to switch freely under the premise of fast speed.
Su Yang also applauded and supported him, while Antetokounmpo quickly returned to defense and successfully stopped Leonard from rushing to the basket and making a layup.
After the Spurs' trouble, Gasol made a layup and made another iron. It seemed that the peak state had not yet appeared before.
The Kings got the rebound and counterattacked. Curry dribbled the ball and ran across the center line. Suddenly, he raised his hand and made a long pass. Tatum, who was on the emergency stop and counterattacked, happened to catch the ball under the basket and jumped to the basket. However, he was attacked by Green and Leonard from the front and back, and almost smashed the basket and hit the iron.
The Spurs took the ball and counterattacked again, and continued to hand it over to Gasol to play low. Daluo suddenly walked around and slapped the racket off.
In a hurry, Gasol picked up the basketball and turned over and jumped, but he still hit the iron with a clang, and the force was obviously small.
Lavine rushed to get the rebound, turned around and passed the center line. Antetokounmpo received the ball like a crazy dragon going out to sea. He rushed to the edge of the reasonable collision zone in the frontcourt. Parker, who raised the ball around Europe and tried to make an attack, jumped vigorously with a bang and dunked.
Basketball frying baskets into the net,
After the two teams made a round of iron for four consecutive rounds, the King finally took the lead in attacking, and the intensity of offense and defense made the audience forget to shout.
"Get good, get better!"
Su Yang felt that the familiar thing was back, and Antetokounmpo was able to calmly take out European steps, which means that he had found his state from the chaos at the beginning. Lavender and others' long passes were to fill up the execution, so he could achieve four consecutive rounds of defense without making any mistakes.
However, the Spurs were a little anxious, as if they wanted to establish the victory as soon as possible. They were not the previous zone state with calmness and excitement. It might be that the King would rather miss the big man than pass the ball to death.
While thinking, Spurs Green made a fuss and the Kings launched a counterattack. However, Curry made a mistake in the long pass and the ball rights were converted.
But the Spurs still didn't score. Leonard shook and then made a layup, with a little difference in the angle of the board.
The Kings got the rebound, but the fast break failed. Curry dribbled the ball and passed it to LaVin who was raised by Daluo's cover. LaVin made a quick stop to shoot, and successfully tricked Gasol into assisting in defense and interfering. He immediately hit the ball and then divided it. Daluo took the ball down and dunked it back.
The basketball flopped into the net, and the Kings led 8-2, and the referee's whistle sounded simultaneously, and the Spurs requested a timeout.
Cheers were everywhere at the scene.
On the tnt live broadcast seat, Miller smiled and said, "Popovich doesn't want to give Su Yang any chance to turn the tables, but the strategy adopted by the Kings tonight did indeed successfully limit the Spurs' offense. Of course, the Spurs themselves are a little confused, and they seem to be unable to wait..."
Thomas nodded: "Their large-scale transfer tactics disappeared, and they played three consecutive pick-and-roll inward connections."
Chapter completed!
