Chapter 403 The Fourth Game of the Western Conference Finals

After watching the game, McHale gave Qin Tao and the others a good summary.

Especially the zone defense requires each of them to stay focused and their execution must be at the forefront.

After watching the entire game, Qin Tao has a deeper understanding of the true nature of defense.

If it is said that he defended based on his experience on the field before, then after watching him, he knows some defensive skills.

For example, when facing a powerful insider, while using his talent to fight, he can also put some pressure on the defender through changes in strength and hand movements allowed in the rules.

Simultaneously.

After understanding some skills of personal defense, Qin Tao also has a clearer understanding of team defense.

Like zone defense.

Although in the NBA, there is also such a thing as a zone defense, but here basically only half of the zone defense is played, not as persistent as in the college league and other leagues.

For the zone defense, the players are quite enthusiastic.

After finishing the analysis conference, McHale immediately drove them back to rest.

The Spurs are bound to do their best in the next game, and they need to be fully prepared in order to use 100% state to counter the impact of the Spurs.

The fourth game between the Rockets and the Spurs is coming soon.

The Spurs' home court tonight is still extremely lively, and it didn't cause any turmoil at the box office because they lost a game.

But looking at it another way, the Spurs fans can be said to support their home team very much.

in the locker room.

Rockets and Spurs players are making final preparations.

The Rockets are relatively relaxed and calm, but the Spurs are a little depressed.

Make sense.

Although the Spurs are tough veterans who have experienced many battles, they can't calm down when they are behind the Rockets. After all, after this game is over, they have to go to Houston to play.

At that time, the Rockets will occupy a favorable location and people, and their own impact will be more fierce. I am afraid that they are favored by everyone, and there is a real possibility of capsized in the gutter.

And they will have such emotions, which naturally has something to do with Popovich.

Well known.

Popovich has always been very talkative. When facing his own players, once he gets a little angry, the words are really good and won't go anywhere.

But they are all old acquaintances, and they just talk a little bit, the big deal is the same as now, the atmosphere is a bit more depressed, and they don't like to talk a lot before going on stage.

In response to this situation, when Popovich and the assistants appeared in front of them, at most they just looked at them twice, and had no intention of saying soft words at all.

When the game was about to start, Popovich and the others left early without even looking at them.

But thinking about the Spurs' lineup structure and the soul of the team, they must adjust quickly.

Soon.

As the warm-up and appearance ceremonies were completed one after another, the main players of the two teams walked to the court under the guidance of the three famous Spurs Barabara in the commentary seat.

This time the Rockets didn't play any tricks. Qin Tao returned to the bench lineup, and Motai Yunas replaced him.

Such an arrangement, McHale is well thought out.

If the last game was all about playing with the Spurs, then this time we have to consider how much impact they will have on the Rockets because they are anxious to get angry.

Based on what Qin Tao has shown, if this game starts, it may really bring disaster to the Rockets' bench.

So in order to be on the safe side, McHale returned to the previous lineup arrangement.

Back to the game.

Diego Splitter and Asik both stand ready for the opening jump ball.

The referee on duty explained something, and then threw the ball into the air.

This time Asik was stunned.

After being "counseled" for almost a season, this guy actually made a big move this time and got the ball for the Rockets.

Jeremy Lin received the ball and pushed forward. They still played fast and did not give the Spurs a chance to breathe.

However, the Spurs' return to defense this time surprised people. They seemed to no longer be entangled in the problem of rhythm.

But Harden's touch seems to be good. After getting a high cover from Motel, the step back is a long-range two-pointer.

And when the basketball fell to the floor, Duncan was already standing on the baseline and ready to serve.

Parker got the ball, and the Spurs took it easy all the way.

They seem to be just defending and preparing to die, and the offense is still their rhythm.

Some running.

The execution ability of the Spurs players is very good. With the high double screen of Splitter and Duncan, "Tie Lin" catches and shoots from the bottom corner, giving them a one-point lead.

on the commentary.

David Robinson, "The Iceman" George Gervin, and Sean Elliott looked at each other at that time, with confusion and incomprehension on their faces.

Well known.

Whether the Spurs are attacking or defending, they all have their own rhythm.

But judging from the situation after the start of this game, they obviously abandoned one of them.

With such a choice, the Spurs' physical strength will definitely be depleted as the game progresses.

If they are brought into rhythm again by the Rockets, then they will definitely encounter huge trouble.

but.

David Robinson and the others looked at the Spurs coaching bench. Seeing Popovich's old god on the ground, they felt a lot more at ease.

It seems that this is some kind of arrangement made by the old man before the game.

But as the game progressed, they became more and more strange.

Without him.

The Rockets and Spurs can be said to be well-organized. While the rhythm is very fast, after giving up the defensive rhythm, they did not experience too much physical loss.

Did these guys eat the Chinese elixir?

Why are these uncle-level guys so persistent if they don't eat?
It wasn't until the official timeout came that they saw the details of these guys.

When Popovich took down Duncan, Parker, and Tielin one after another, as the three bowed their heads and walked, the sweat kept dripping down.

And after returning to the players bench and sitting down, the violent panting was also a bit violent.

From this analysis, Popovich's arrangement seems to have failed.

But since people don't care, then stop talking about it.

The Rockets are quite persistent. Except for replacing Asik and replacing Greg Smith to speed up, the others basically did not move.

However, after the game started, Harden and the others suddenly started to have bad luck, and they were not as smooth and comfortable as before.
