Chapter 463 This Is My Curry
"They will focus on defending Vazquez in the future. We must do a good job in response and transmission to avoid live ball mistakes..."

From Su Yang's point of view, the Spurs had no problems with their opening offense. They were very skilled in their positional routines, and their fast break choices were correct.

Even if Parker had a drive to the basket and forced a high-risk pass, and a sudden pull-up jumper, it was all reasonable.

The problem was that the Spurs couldn't defend against the King's ultra-fast offense.

Specifically, it was Parker who failed to guard Vazquez.

Probably because Vazquez has been positioned as a pure point guard for the Kings for a long time, and occasionally shoots two open three-pointers, playing emergency stop shots.

But now they are suddenly playing an early offense around Vazquez, similar to the "seven-second offense" in the D'Antoni era of the Suns, frequently double-screening early in the high post, or quickly laying down the screen. The Spurs did not expect it at all, and the opening response was insufficient.

Between the words, the whistle sounded at the end of a short pause.

Players from both teams returned to the field and the game continued.

The Spurs kicked off in the backcourt, and it was Danny Green who led the running position, shifted from the strong side to the weak side, and finally passed it to Duncan for a low post. However, too much time wasted. Duncan turned around in a hurry and hit the iron with a hook, but Splitter grabbed the offensive rebound. Carrying the encirclement and hitting the board to score.

The two teams switched offense and defense, and the Spurs adjusted their defensive strategy as Su Yang predicted. Splitter defended against Cousins ​​at the center line and actively created physical contact. Parker also approached Vazquez in advance, but Duncan still chose to stay and make free throws. Wire.

Seeing the Spurs operate like that, Su Yang yelled to remind him to continue the double screen. There is no qualitative change in the adjustment of the Spurs, only quantitative changes.

As long as Duncan doesn't get out, the double screen can be played.

Vazquez dribbled the ball from the right wing to the top of the arc as usual, Duncan remained at the free throw line, but Leonard shrank from the left.In the meantime, Cousins ​​splits his turn and cuts inside along the edge of the right paint, with Thompson right behind him, ready to screen.

Between the flashes, Vazquez felt that it was difficult to break through Leonard's defense, and the efficiency of passing the three-pointer to Antetokounmpo was low, so he immediately stopped and looked inside.Cousins ​​immediately stopped and turned around, and with the help of Thompson's cover, he strode 45 degrees to the right.

Duncan decisively switched defenses to intercept Cousins, but Thompson rushed to the basket at the same time, and Vazquez raised his hand and put the ball straight to the basket.

Just when Thompson took the ball and was about to take off, Green came over from the short corner on the left and teamed up with the chasing Sputtry to form a front and rear double-team. After all, Green is a 196 cm defender and met in a reasonable collision zone. Thompson, no way.

I saw Thompson forcefully took off without hesitation, and easily put the ball into the net. The referee whistled at the same time and called Green for a foul.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... ” the arena booed suddenly, green puts up hands to cover the head to yell, seem to be aggrieved by foul.

Su Yang raised his hands and applauded, mainly for Vazquez, because the through pass just now was too good, Thompson was able to score 2+1, at least Vazquez's eighty successes, and by the way, D'Antoni The system is too good for point guards.

Only two and a half minutes into the game, Vazquez already had 2 points and 3 assists. If the 4-pointer passed to Thornton, it would be [-] assists, not including the screen for Cousins ​​at the beginning of the game, which indirectly contributed to the Antetokounmpo assisted Cousins ​​to score.

To say that Vazquez can be very strong, he is not very strong.

But the tactical tilt made Vazquez look like Nash, with sharp personal passing, good shooting, and tall stature, all of which are fully reflected, which somewhat confirms the words of Mavericks boss Cuban: Any NBA player can be 20 as long as he is tactically tilted. point.

After thinking about it, Thompson made an extra free throw, and the Kings led 11 to 6. The players retreated quickly according to Su Yang's arrangement.Unlike the usual free throws followed by a full-court press to defend against fast breaks, the Spurs' cooperation is too smooth, it is best not to take risks and defend their positions honestly.

The offensive and defensive transition on the court, Parker waited for the ball on the right wing, Leonard used Duncan to cover, and went straight to the top of the arc from the short corner.

In a typical zipper start, Parker raised his hands simultaneously to prepare to pass the ball, then suddenly turned to face the left waist, and changed to a lob pass to Duncan.

Vazquez was worried that it would be too disadvantageous to stick to Parker because of his slow lateral movement, so he shrank as much as possible according to Su Yang's request. At the beginning, he didn't pay so much attention to Parker's three-pointer. Now he saw the basketball passed by Parker directly above him. Take off and scramble.

Seeing this, Duncan also jumped up in a hurry to fight for it, but he couldn't stand Thompson behind him, and his movements didn't fully stretch out.

Vazquez grabbed the basketball, landed and dashed forward, reached the right wing in five seconds, stopped and slowed down, and faced Duncan for close defense. Parker, who was originally responsible for defending him, had already stood on the right waist because he wanted to prevent him. Long pass attack.

The opportunity for dislocation has already appeared, Thompson hurriedly turned around and backed Parker, and Vazquez raised his hands to pass the basketball.

Duncan suddenly turned around to double-team as if he had long eyes in the back of his head. Thompson hurriedly passed the ball back, and Vazquez received the ball for an open three-pointer.

bass!The basketball is hollow into the net.

Leading 14 to 6, the king's bench cheered and applauded, Su Yang smiled and put his hands on his hips: "This is really Nash!"

On the Spurs side, Popovich roared: "Tony, what are you doing!" With that angry look, he wanted to tear Parker apart.

Parker curled his lips helplessly, knowing that he had made some mistakes. He underestimated the king before the timeout, and shouldn't underestimate the king after the timeout, so he didn't follow the tactics, but wanted to hang it directly to Duncan, but the king was a scumbag. .

While thinking about it, Parker dribbled the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt, did not call tactics, directly split the cover, walked the sideline to break through, one step away from Vazquez, and quickly rushed to the left team logo position, ignoring Cousins' supplement Anti-threat, emergency stop and take-off mid-range shot.

The basketball slammed into the net, and cheers erupted again. Parker landed and turned back to defend, thinking that I can play a fast break.

The Kings of Yibian attacked, the right wing quickly picked and rolled, Vazquez broke through the top of the arc, and hit the ground to Cousins ​​who slipped to the basket.

Don’t even need double screens, and insist on playing the Spurs too late to rotate the defense, weakening the Spurs’ overall defensive ability to the greatest extent, magnifying Parker’s weakness in defense against pick-and-rolls, and Splitter’s speed disadvantage, so that the offense occurs within the King’s strongest range .

Amid the exclamation of the audience, Splitter raised his hands to prepare for the interference in the air, but Cousins ​​stopped abruptly and turned to hook.

The basketball went into the net hollow, 16 to 8.

It was another 8-second offense, and the Spurs' exquisite defensive system was not developed at all, and their defensive shortcomings were fully exposed.

In the transition between offense and defense, Parker dribbled the ball to the left wing of the frontcourt, paused to observe for a moment, used Duncan to cover and initiate a breakthrough, pretended to go up the line, but actually walked the bottom line, watching Thompson switch defenses to intercept, skillfully stopped the top and turned around, but the space and angle were too small.

After turning around and failing to make a breakthrough, Parker made an emergency stop again, and continued to turn around with his left foot as the axis, but he obviously exhausted his kinetic energy, and there was no change in his move.

Thompson hurriedly raised his hands to interfere. In the confusion, Parker fell to the ground and lost the ball, and Cousins ​​picked it up nearby and rushed forward.

Boos exploded in the arena, the king made a fast break in the third line, Vazquez caught the ball on the right, slowed down at 45 degrees, and raised his hand to the left for a long pass.

Thornton received the ball from the 45-degree three-point line on the left, took advantage of the opportunity to join the ball for an open three-pointer, and was responsible for defending him. Green, because he had to defend the third-line fast break, he had already retreated into the paint area, and it was impossible to return to defense in a hurry. Basketball Then, with a bang, it hollowed out 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 kicked off the ball in the backcourt calmly, and after some complicated conduction moves, Parker easily got rid of Vazquez with the help of a screen, and made a two-pointer with a long throw in front of Cousins, chasing the score to 10-19 Don't let go, the game is only played for 4 minutes.

The Kings of Yibian attacked, Vazquez hit the iron with a mid-range throw, the Spurs got the rebound and counterattacked quickly, and Green hit the iron with a three-pointer.

Split grabbed the offensive rebound, walked the baseline and forced to the basket, causing a foul by Cousins, and the whistle for substitutions sounded simultaneously.

Su Yang subconsciously turned his head to look at the Spurs, and found that Ginobili had replaced Green, and Popovich seemed anxious.

"In the past, we used faster and faster offense to defeat the Spurs' anti-fast break strategy. This time, the Spurs dispatched Ginobili in advance. I also know what they want to do..." Thinking, Su Yang arranged for Guy to come on stage to replace Antetokounmpo.
