Chapter 597 This is the Alternation of Old and New (Deacon Jiageng)

In-court play continues.

The Spurs kicked off from the backcourt, Mills took the ball across the center line to Ginobili on the right wing, and Diaw ran up to make a screen.

Antetokounmpo didn't double-team, but just lowered his center of gravity and stepped back. While blocking the breakthrough, he gave him a chance to make an emergency stop.

Turner in the right corner moved his feet at the same time, posing as if he was waiting for an opportunity, helping to control Ginobili's breakthrough route, and together with LaVine and Antetokounmpo, formed a partial three-defense and two-defense, and guaranteed to be able to return to defend Mills at any time , the pressure is given to full to full.

Perhaps inherently confident.

Perhaps there is no choice.

Ginobili made an emergency stop to take off and made a mid-range shot.

The basketball slammed, Cousins ​​grabbed the rebound, and Turner stepped forward to counterattack with the ball, all the way to the top of the frontcourt arc. Seeing that the Spurs were not encircled, he decisively started to stick to Mills vertically, relying on his physical advantage to get to the basket Next, ignore the confrontation and forcefully take off and put the basket.

The basketball hit the rim and bounced into the net.

28 to 13, the king presented a crushing situation.

Cheers erupted in the arena.

The Spurs launched a counterattack, Diaw took it across the center line and gave it to Ginobili, and then the basketball flew to Leonard on the right waist.

The singles formation has not yet formed, Leonard released the ball ahead of time and rushed forward, but failed to get rid of George, and forcibly turned and fell back.

The basketball slammed into the circle and into the net, 28 to 15.

"It still depends on Leonard..."

Su Yang feels that this goal will become a turning point for the Spurs to alternate between the old and the new. Leonard has already ignored the defense and forcibly scored the ball.

The king launched a counterattack.

Delayed positioning with one inside and four outside, turning into a bullhorn formation, imitating the Spurs' previous running positions, Cousins ​​and Turner thugs hand-in-hand and counter-hung to the basket to cooperate, but Cousins' passing skills are not as good as Duncan's, which may be a bit careless. Throw the ball directly over the baseline and miss it.

Seeing the dead ball, Su Yang signaled for a substitution, 'Whiteside' Whiteside came on to replace Cousins, and the Kings [-] came on as a substitute.

The Spurs also made substitutions, and Green came on to replace Leonard, Mills and Ginobili, which is considered a three-back lineup.

"What do you mean? Bullying our big center?"

Su Yang looked stupid on the spot. The Spurs were 13 points behind, and they actually replaced Leonard with a strong scorer. Are you not afraid of the king's wave?

However, with 1 minute and 54 seconds left in the first quarter, it is also understandable.

After all, less than 2 minutes.

Control the tempo a little and don't lose too many points.

While thinking about it, the game continued.

Sure enough, the Spurs controlled the rhythm, overwhelmed the offensive clock with 12 seconds left before Ginobili broke through with the ball and played with the white side.

Baibian was too good at jumping, so he was easily missed. Ginobili staggered his jump, easily wiped the board and put in the basket, scoring two more points.

The Spurs chased 17 to 28.

Really bullied the king's big center.

The king rushed to attack, without hesitation, he went to George, and the screen followed simultaneously, and George easily faced Dior with a mid-range shot.

The basketball slammed into the net hollowly.

The quality of the cover provided by Baibian is not bad, and the speed of dismantling is fast enough. It is no problem to get a middle-level contract in the off-season.

The Spurs turned and attacked.

The strength shifts hands, the basketball is passed to the left waist, Ade catches the ball and hits the white side with his back, and turns around easily.

Su Yang watched it so much that he wanted to slap his forehead. He had specifically said before that to defend against Ade, he had to be on the line. Why didn't Bai Bian listen.

In a hurry, Turner instinctively double-teamed.

That thought, Aldridge stopped the throwing action and threw the ball abruptly to the top of the arc, while Mills caught the ball and made a bold shot.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 30 to 20.

"Is this the source of Popovich's self-confidence? He can punish his opponent by seizing a little chance. The execution is too strong!"

Su Yang thought about it. The Spurs' defense is indeed weak, but their creativity and execution are very good.

The king of the court attacked.

Once again, one inside and four outside were delayed, turning into a bull-horn formation. Turner pretended to cooperate with Baibian to do a reverse lob rush to the basket, but in fact he stopped suddenly to catch the basketball in Baibian's hand, turned around and started to use his height and weight to force Mills to force Ade made up the defense, and then passed an empty catch.

Baibian kicked off the ground and scored a dunk dunk by catching the ball with both hands. The Kings maintained a 12+ point lead.

Su Yang clapped his hands in greeting.

Turner made good use of his physical advantages to efficiently punish the Spurs' three-guard lineup, and chose to keep George on the court. He also successfully contained the Spurs' most defensive outsider Danny Green. The key point was that George did not attack and did not consume a lot of physical strength.

Antetokounmpo is the same.

"I want to applaud my awesome rotation. It would be better if someone can point it out after the game and praise it..."

Cheers erupted in the arena.

With 46 seconds left, Ginobili ran across the center line with the ball, bowed to protect, and pressed the rhythm to let the time go by.

With 11 seconds left in a blink of an eye, Ginobili used the screen to initiate a breakthrough, rushed to the basket, and then passed to the left corner.

Dior received the ball, switched defenses against George, and tried to use the tonnage to sit and hit with his back, but he made a mistake with the ball.

George slapped the basketball off, quickly rushed to the frontcourt, and then passed the ball to Turner to control the time without giving more opportunities.

The audience cheered and shouted when they saw this, and there were only 8 seconds left in the attack time. George took the ball again and singled out Green.

Continuously swaying under the crotch, he jumped in and then followed up with a retreat step. He jumped up and shot with a dry pull, and hit the net with a three-pointer.

The movement was extremely smooth, and the arena roared with applause.

The Kings led 35 to 20, with 6 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, Antetokounmpo took the lead in defending a full-court press.

The Spurs made great efforts to bring the ball across the center line, Manu Ginobili made a three-pointer and hit the iron, and the whistle sounded at the end of the first quarter.

"Steady!"

Su Yang turned around and interacted with Curry and others with high-fives, knowing that the transitional stage of the bench had passed smoothly. Unless the Spurs were as super-skilled as they were in the regular season, the king was bound to win this game. Duncan couldn't move, and Alderman No status, only Leonard.

Taking advantage of the inter-section pause, Su Yang made a brief summary and analysis, and then sent Curry and Covington to substitute for a perfect connection.

The second quarter started quickly, and the King's firepower was super fierce, allowing the Spurs to have Parker's sudden explosion, but still unable to narrow the point difference.

Back from the halftime break, the situation of the two teams has not changed. The Kings firmly control the lead and gradually expand the lead.

The main Spurs have no other cards to play.

In the end, the Kings defeated the Spurs 115 to 99, leading the Western Conference Finals series 1 to 0. The form can be described as excellent.

In the whole game, on the king's side, Curry scored 32 points and 5 assists, George scored 28 points, Cousins ​​and Antetokounmpo scored 35 points and 26 rebounds, and the five members of the team scored in double figures. Nader led with 24 points and Duncan was 10 of 4.

Participating in the press conference after the game, when talking about the key factors of winning, Su Yang said truthfully: "Our team is younger, we have advantages in physical strength, strength, and speed, and the Spurs are the old kings, maybe we will one day that way..."

At noon the next day, WOJ broke the news about the two best defensive lineups of the season and the three best players. The news is ahead of schedule.

The Spurs Leonard was selected for the first team and the first defense at the same time.

Duncan, who was selected to the third team of the best team and the second team of the best defensive team last season, lost all of them.

ESPN simultaneously pointed out that this is the first time since Duncan entered the league that he lost the All-Star, All-Defensive Team and All-NBA Team at the same time. It is very likely that he will not win the championship. arrive.

Relatively speaking, the Kings have one first team, two second teams, and two best defensive second teams. They really alternate between the old and the new.

　The IDs of the veterans were mixed up, and some of them will only be deacons to add more in the future, and they will not specifically write their names.
