Chapter 307 Turning at a Critical Time
Ginobili, nicknamed the Demon Sword, has a smart and elegant style of play. When he breaks through, he looks like a silver snake coming out of a hole, which is very aura.However, Popovich did not arrange for him to attack, and he would not directly launch a breakthrough.
This is the execution ability of a strong team. Only by resolutely executing tactics can it be possible to achieve what the coach envisioned.
LaMarcus Aldridge is a smart player. He quickly mentioned the top of the arc, not only getting rid of Josh Smith's circling forward, but also completing the screen for Ginobili by the way.
The way the Lakers deal with the pick-and-roll is to switch defenses. Josh Smith and Kobe exchange defensive targets, and Kobe marks the tall and tall LaMarcus Aldridge.
Ginobili has good organizational skills, hitting the ground with his left hand and passing the ball to LaMarcus Aldridge in the pass.
Kobe lowered his center of gravity and tried to exert physical confrontation on LaMarcus Aldridge.Since Kobe is a little shorter, he is on the lower back, which makes LaMarcus Aldridge a little uncomfortable.
Kawhi Leonard and George tangled near the left corner, and neither of them could take advantage.
Xu Tian was responsible for defending Tony Parker. Although he let him go, he couldn't sink to the low position to help defend.
LaMarcus Aldridge rolled over and took a habitual jumper.
Duncan and Tyson Chandler get in position for the rebound.
The basketball bounced a few times over the hoop, missed the net, and bounced back into midair.
Tyson Chandler's position is not as favorable as Duncan's, and he is quick to use his wits, and he is good at hitting the ball and grabbing rebounds.
The ball was hit near the free throw line and fell into Ginobili's hands.
Ginobili dribbled the ball back to the top of the arc, facing Xu Tian, who came over quickly, he dribbled patiently, waiting for his teammates' movement and cooperation.
Xu Tian lowered his center of gravity, his body could not be lowered any lower, his eyes looked fiercely at Ginobili who was dribbling.
Ginobili had seen this look in Kobe's eyes and knew that there was a desire for victory in it.Only then did he really understand why Xu Tian could become a star in the league in a short period of time, but now is not the time to be emotional, and he needs to continue playing.
Kobe is responsible for marking Kawhi Leonard, and the fast Tony Parker is in place with George switching.
Ginobili was much calmer than before, and he knew that there was a gap between him and Xu Tian in terms of athletic ability, so he didn't try to force a breakthrough.Transfer the ball with both hands to Duncan who landed in the penalty area.
Duncan played back singles and hit Tyson Chandler behind him twice. Seeing that there was no room for his teammates, he had no choice but to turn over and hook directly!
scored!
95-95, 46.2 seconds!
The Spurs are at home, immediately boiling!Most of the fans stood up from their chairs, waved their hands, and cheered for Duncan, the strongest star in team history.
The Lakers still have two long and one short three timeouts. Scott called out the short timeouts and arranged offensive tactics.
In the offensive round, the role of players with strong defensive ability and weak offensive ability will be reduced. Nick Young replaced Josh Smith, and Clarkson replaced Tyson Chandler.
"Xu, the Spurs will definitely think you are the one to attack, so I hope you can attract double-teams and give Kobe or Paul George the chance to shoot." Scott could only ask in a negotiating tone.
Xu Tian is a player who puts victory first, so he naturally would not refute the reasonable request of the head coach, and nodded in agreement with the tactical arrangement.
Scott turned to tell Kobe and George: "Kobe, Paul, the Spurs are also very afraid of you two. If the offensive opportunity is not good, it can be passed on to Nick Young or Jordan Clarkson. Their shots are also very good."
Kobe and George also had no objection, nodded, and concluded the tactical arrangement.
The 20-second period was short, and players from both sides returned to the court to continue the game for the final 46.2 seconds.
In Ginobili's ears, what Popovich said was still echoing.
"Guys! Now there are only 46 seconds left before the end of the game. In theory, there is enough time for two shots, but for Xu Tian's golf intelligence, he will divide this time into three times, so I need you to try your best. Defend this round and regain the initiative."
The Spurs players worked hard on defense, but for Xu Tian, the single defense was really a bit low.Even the player who defends him alone is named Kawhi Leonard.
Ginobili knew Xu Tian's grasp outside the three-point line, and he didn't dare to let go of the three-pointer. He decisively lost the defense against George, and came over to defend Xu Tian with Kawhi Leonard.
Xu Tian saw that George was open, and the banana pass at the bottom of the box reappeared, passing the ball to him over Ginobili.
George glanced at the three-point line under his feet, made sure he didn't step on the line, and pulled out his hand directly.
Tony Parker is fast enough, but his height and bounce are much worse than George's, and he cannot form effective interference.
The basketball spun up into the air, attracting the attention of all fans and players.
Kawaii Leonard understood that Xu Tian's grab for the frontcourt was more of a rush, so he turned around and stuck Xu Tian behind him, and neither of them could go to the penalty area.
Swish!
98-95, 31.7 seconds!
Popovich immediately called a timeout, and then adjusted the focus of offense, allowing Boris Diaw to replace Duncan, increasing the offensive firepower, and trying to score a goal first.
The players on the bench of the Lakers were extremely excited just now, they walked onto the field one after another, and high-fived the players walking towards the sidelines.
George was very excited about being able to make a key goal, but after all, he is a player who has played in the Eastern Conference Finals and can still stabilize his emotions.Simply wipe the sweat off his face and listen to Scott's tactical arrangement.
"Now that we are leading by three points, we can relatively relax the restrictions on breakthroughs and stick to their players outside the three-point line. Even if they score two points, they will still need to foul in the next round." Scott Mind Clear, "If a three-pointer is shot, the initiative will fall again, understand?"
All the players on the field did not speak.This is an inherent habit. If there is a different opinion, the Lakers players will take the initiative to raise it.
Scott rotated again, putting Tyson Chandler and Josh Smith on defense, replacing Nick Young and Clarkson.
Both players return to the field.
Danny Green replaced Tony Parker, who was not particularly good at three-pointers, trying to use the perimeter to contain the power and pour out open three-pointers.
Danny Green throws in.
Ginobili didn't touch the ball, making time temporarily stand still until he came near the center line before picking up the ball on the floor.The shot clock ticks, and the seconds tick by quickly.
The three tall perimeter players of the Lakers imposed a rather fierce blockade on the three players with strong shooting ability of the Spurs.
Seeing that time was running out, Ginobili awakened the killer gene in his blood, threw away the layout, and directly shot a three-pointer against George's defense.
