Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 167
The Spurs called a timeout again, but this time, Popovich didn't scold the players.

This is the top coach in the NBA. Cursing is not the purpose, let alone venting, but to make the team play better.

Now, the team is obviously being suppressed, and it will only be counterproductive to curse people again.

……

"Great job guys, I'm so proud of you.

See if there are only 2 points, defend this goal, and then score another one, the victory belongs to us! "

After speaking, Paul Westphal gave up his position, and the assistant coach arranged defensive tactics.

This time defense is crucial.

In fact, there is no change in the defensive tactics of the whole game. It is nothing more than double-teaming the inside and quickly rotating the outside.

It's just that, at this point in the game, for defense, playing steadily is the key.

In offense, you can play exquisite coordination in a flash of inspiration, but in defense, stability is more important.

Returning to the game again, Johnson tried his best to hand the ball to Duncan. As soon as Duncan got the ball, Wang Hao's double-team came up.

Seeing this scene, Popovich frowned slightly.

The inside star can be the cornerstone of the team, and the offense closer to the basket can guarantee a higher shooting rate.

However, there is also a big trouble, the opponent may not give you a chance to attack!
Faced with double-teaming and inside stars with poor ball-handling ability, it will inevitably be more difficult to handle the ball.

No, in the face of Wang Hao's double-teaming, let alone an offense, even Duncan just passed the ball in front of him.

After Mario got the ball, the rotation of the entire Sonics team was in place one by one, and there was no chance of opening.

It's just that the Spurs are the Spurs, and they quickly found opportunities.

Rotating defenses will inevitably lead to dislocations, and the Spurs have found this opportunity.

The basketball circled around the three-point line and was quickly passed to David Robinson on the inside. Standing behind Robinson was Wang Hao.

Fearing that the opponent's double-team would appear again, David Robinson attacked directly without delay.

Small defense big, especially when facing post-up singles, the easiest way is naturally to withdraw the stool.

It's just that this trick is only useful for rookies. Facing veterans, it will only be a cocoon.

So what to do?It can only be hard resistance!
Sure enough, David Robinson tried the first push, but he didn't use all his strength, but had reservations.

But when he exerted his strength for the second time, Wang Hao inevitably retreated, his strength was not at the same level at all.

In the NBA, to describe a person's defense is good, one adjective is often used, from one defense to five.

The meaning of this is very clear, that is, to defend from the first position to the fifth position.

This is simply an exaggerated description, especially in this era, what kind of outside line can carry the four major centers?
As for the inside players defending against five, what a joke, you don't treat Iverson as dry food!

It is far more difficult to defend against the small than the small.

Seeing David Robinson launch an attack directly, Wen Baker quickly shrank back to the inside, and was about to double-team.

It's a pity that it's obviously slow.

David Robinson has squeezed Wang Hao into the joint collision zone, and he can dunk with just one turn.

There is no way, the gap in strength is too great, and there is no way to defend against it.

In the previous few minutes, David Robinson played very aggrieved. Now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to vent his anger.

After combining the ball with both hands, squeeze out enough space for the shot, and then jump up to fry the basket.

It was at this moment that Wang Hao finally saw a glimmer of opportunity.

From the moment David Robinson played singles with the ball, he knew he couldn't defend. In fact, he didn't go all out to defend.

If he really fought with all his strength, he would have been knocked over long ago. Even if he was not lying on the ground, he would not be able to control his center of gravity.

It's incomparable in confrontation, but when it comes to fighting, he's not necessarily so.

The moment David Robinson joined the ball, Wang Hao had already made his move, naturally heading towards the ball.

At this moment, David Robinson is definitely the weakest in protecting the ball, and it is also Wang Hao's only chance.

As for the thugs, what should I do if I am called a foul?
What else can I do, foul it, foul it, the worst is to send David Robinson to the free throw line.

At the moment of contact, Wang Hao frowned, he cut the ball but missed.

David Robinson screamed, as if he had really been beaten.

Without hearing the whistle, Wang Hao reacted faster, picked up the ball immediately, and immediately pushed forward with the ball.

Today's Wang Hao's ball handling ability is not considered top in the NBA, but it is still possible to simply dribble the ball.

"Oh, that's a foul!"

The ball was lost, and David Robinson was so angry that he yelled at the referee, wanting a foul.

It's a pity that this is the home court of the Supersonics after all, why there is a saying of home court advantage, this is it!

David Robinson is still entangled with the referee, and the supersonic fast break storm has already set off.

Mario wanted to stop Wang Hao, Wang Hao simply passed the ball, and Ruben Patterson broke through directly after getting the ball.

The moment after passing the ball, Wang Hao immediately ran towards the bottom line. This is a tactical move for the Supersonic.

Mario hurried to catch up, but suddenly bumped into a wall, and it was Horace who blocked him.

After Ruben Patterson made a breakthrough, he attracted the defense and passed the ball again. The target was naturally Wang Hao at the bottom line.

Mario managed to avoid Horace, and he was late, but at this time, Wang Hao had already completed his shot.

"Shh!"

88:87
"King, king..."

"The King, The King..."

The moment the goal was scored, the entire key arena was boiling, and the cheers continued to rise and fall without stopping for a moment.

"Nice job, king!"

The same is true for the players on the field. Overtaking the score has always been the most encouraging morale.

I was still a little tired at first, but as the score surpassed, everyone felt full of energy in an instant.

"Defend, quickly return to defense!"

Wang Hao quickly reminded that almost instantly, the Supersonic team returned to defense collectively, each moving faster than one.

As for the Spurs, they belatedly want to serve quickly, after all, David Robinson is still in the opposite half.

Unfortunately, it's too late!

Popovich's face on the sidelines was extremely ugly, and his gloomy face was even more terrifying to the extreme.

As the head coach, he is naturally very clear about the situation on the court, and the team is a bit difficult.

In this regard, he is helpless.

As a head coach, what else can he do?Want a pause again?
Use up the last timeout, so when the last time comes, do you still need to arrange tactics?

Even if you don't consider the issue of the final battle, is it still useful to arrange tactics now?
In the offense just now, using Duncan to attract the defense, the Spurs quickly moved the ball and indeed got a very good opportunity.

As long as David Robinson takes a shot, the ball must be scored.

But who would have imagined that at this last moment of trembling, he was intercepted, and instead of scoring a goal, he was counterattacked.
