The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

Zuo Li, David Lee, Battier, Klay Thompson and Curry.

D'Antoni made fine-tuning after the timeout, and a relatively pure all-shooter lineup appeared.

Of course, although the shooting attributes are full, the lineup is still regular, so there is no discussion. People's focus is on how the Spurs can restrict Zuo Li, and whether Zuo Li can beat the Spurs with mid-range.

The Spurs are making final adjustments to their tactics. Popovich’s bold change of tactics also requires players to implement it. We all know that changing tactics on the spot is a taboo, and it is easy to ignore the head, but the Spurs still need to give it a go, because It was Zuo Li who showed his power, and Zuo Li just won the terrifying 70+ triple-double the day before yesterday. It is hard not to pay attention to the shadow of a famous tree.

But Popovich didn't know that his change happened to fall into Zuo Li's trap, and he had been waiting for a double-team for a long time.

Back from the timeout, Duncan successfully singled David Lee under the basket with his solid basic skills. The Spurs players did not celebrate because they knew that defense was the top priority.

Although the Spurs are already an offense-oriented team at this time, their offense still cannot get rid of the defense. If they want to play the offense they want, they must rely on a decent defense. For example, they played against the Lakers in the last round. It was locking Howard and leaving Kobe alone and helpless to finally win the game.

Therefore, whether Zuoli can be restricted in the next round is the real priority.

On the defensive end, the Spurs really made a change. When the left standing arc was ready to catch the ball, the Spurs directly double-teamed, forcing the left standing to receive the ball two meters outside the three-point line, and then the Spurs quickly returned to defense.

Zuo Li broke through, and when he reached the free throw line, Duncan quickly lifted up. With Leonard, an iron wall was built.

At this time, Zuo Li should not play hard - Kobe is possessed, and only hits difficult shots.

Or just learn from Lao Zhan and give the buzzer directly to teammates-protecting KPI starts with yourself, no matter whether you get in or not, anyway, buddies are justified, buddies team.

In fact, there is no right or wrong between the two choices. The key is to score goals. As long as the ball can be scored, no one will say anything.

For example, Zuo Li's choice this time.

While Zuo Li was double-teamed, David Lee went straight up, but he didn't come to find Zuo Li, but completed a pick-and-roll for Klay Thompson.

brush!

brush!

A beautiful pass, a beautiful catch and shoot, the Knicks scored two more points.

"Pretty!"

"Klay Thompson!"

"Scored for the first time tonight, and it is very critical." Yu Jia raised his arms and shouted.

"It was quite dangerous just now. Not to mention, Leonard and Duncan's pincer attack is still very powerful. If Zuo Li passes it out quickly, Leonard may steal it." Director Zhang also said happily.

Fortunately, I got in...

The fans also breathed a sigh of relief, the situation was very dangerous just now, Leonard was almost hanging on Zuo Li, and the hand-scratching was about to spark, I was really afraid that he would hit the ball.

"Fortunately, Zuo Li is tall enough!" Aomei on the sidelines was even more relieved. She used to think that Zuo Li was good at everything, but she was a bit too tall. When she went out to play, she looked like an adult holding a child.

But now she found that on the court, she was indeed inch-long and inch-strong.

Popovich also felt that his tactics were successful. The only problem was that the Knicks scored a goal. He is not afraid of Leigh Thompson scoring. After all, this rookie is not well-known and is not a key care object.

"Pick it up," Popovich roared, waving his hands.

In the next round, the Spurs scored again, and Parker made a throw after the pick-and-roll.

Returning to the defense, this time standing left and going to the flank, it is still a breakthrough, and it is still a flanking attack. This time the space is smaller than the previous round.

But Zuo Li still passed it on!

There is no way, the round just now seemed dangerous, but in reality, Zuo Li's long arms and height allowed him to pass the pass with a high probability. As for the steal——

Zuo Li has only been intercepted three times in his career, and all of them were steals while passing the ball. There has never been a situation where the ball was cut off from him after taking it like this!

"It's Klay again! Mills didn't follow closely enough twice, the jumper on the catch! From Klay Thompson! The Knicks continue to maintain the point difference!" Barkley said.

"A blind cat meets a dead mouse..." Mills folded his hips helplessly, looking at Popovich, he spread his hands helplessly.

This thing didn't tell me that he could fight like this at the beginning!

Initiate, break free, catch the ball, shoot immediately, without hesitation for a second, not even dribble!

What kind of play is this!

Korver, right?

Korver?

No, no!

Clay is Clay, his style of play is still unknown, the outside world only thinks he is an outside shooter, and tonight is when he officially shows his sword!

"Pick and roll!!!"

With David Lee roaring, Clay completed the pick-and-roll again, and Zuo Li's pass came as promised, and David Lee completed the catch and shoot!

brush!

Again!

"FOR three!!!"

After scoring the goal, Clay raised three fingers, beating his chest and roaring excitedly.

"Good guy... 8 of 8 shots, seven mid-range shots, one three-pointer..."

The Spurs were completely dizzy.

The time has come to 6 minutes and 32 seconds of the third quarter. In the entanglement just now, the Spurs double-teamed Zuo Li without scoring a point. The defensive capabilities of Leonard and Duncan were once again confirmed.

However, the score was 64-49 at this time, and the Spurs had fallen behind by as many as 15 points!

Looking at the performance of the Spurs, Duncan scored 8 points, Ginobili scored 7 points, Leonard scored 4 points, and Parker even scored 12 points!

This kind of performance cannot be regarded as bad. For the Spurs, it is still dozens of games before the GDP scores at the same time.

Such an amazing performance still failed to restore the disadvantage, it must be something wrong with the defense.

That's right, Klay Thompson has this problem, and it's a big problem, a big problem that forced Popovich to call two timeouts in a row!

"Klay Thompson, it's so accurate! It's still 100% shooting. In one and a half quarters, it has already scored 17 points!" Yu Jia said.

"The Spurs were not prepared. I didn't expect, and I didn't expect, Klay Thompson actually stepped up. He was all catch-and-shoot, but he couldn't guard him. It was so ruthless. He was the big contributor tonight." Coach Zhang said.

"We need to put some pressure on him and not give him the opportunity to catch the ball and shoot directly." Popovich said during the timeout.

But in fact, this statement is a false proposition. It is almost impossible to prevent pick-and-roll shots. What's more, Klay Thompson seems to be very good at this scoring method, and the one-on-one restriction is even more impossible.

Mills is about to cry, it's not that he doesn't want to guard against it, it's that he can't guard against it!

Fortunately, Ginobili came on the field to replace him, but it was obvious that the demon knife could not restrain him. As a last resort, Duncan didn't dare to go up to double-team Zuo Li at will, so Klay Thompson stopped scoring and replaced him with Zuo Li...

In the last 5 minutes of the fourth quarter, Popovich threw away the tactical board, and the point difference came to 22 points, and the Spurs gave up.

Zuo Li and Clay were replaced at the same time, and the two clapped hands to celebrate.

Tonight, the two ushered in their own 100% shooting night.
