Chapter 479 Change
Feeling his own breathing, Xu Tian tried hard to expel all kinds of negative emotions out of his body, but unexpectedly, he failed.He still has deep worries about this game. After all, the Spurs' defense against him is too good and too firm, which makes him feel like he is stuck in a quagmire.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Time doesn't stop because of anyone or anything, it just keeps going.When the timeout is over, the whistle sounds to remind both players to return to the game.
Xu Tian wiped his sweat with a towel again, and then handed it to Thackeray, asking him to help pass it to the caddy.Taking a deep breath, he turned and walked back to the court.
The playoffs are very important games. Compared with the regular season, there will be stronger confrontation and fewer personnel rotations. This is a very common phenomenon. Therefore, there is basically no personnel rotation between the two sides, and the main lineup is still fighting.
George received the serve from the backcourt, ignoring the fatigue of his body, walked slowly to the frontcourt, and bent over at the top of the arc to organize the attack.He is also very clear in his heart that Xu Tian is facing an unprecedented defense, and it will be difficult to perform like the previous round, but he is the most confident point of the Lakers at present, and he must perform well.
Nick Young returned to the field, ran from the strong side to the weak side, and then looked back to find that there was no defender behind him.He clearly realized how strong Xu Tian's defense was and how badly they played, but Xu Tian never said anything about all of this.
George saw that Nick Young was open, so he didn't choose individual singles, passed the ball with his left hand, and gave it directly to Nick Young.
Nick Young was inspired by his fighting spirit and felt full of strength. Before the Spurs' defense could react, he raised his hand for a three-pointer!
He forced him to be strong, labor and capital Nick Young!
55-75!
The fans in the Staples Center responded to the host's call, tried to mobilize their emotions, and cheered neatly to cheer for the players in the game.
Boss Jin, Li Feng and Xu Wenye stood up from their seats, without thinking about whether it would affect the people behind them, they shouted out of emotion, louder than everyone around them.
Tony Parker made another drive, came to the paint without stopping, and knocked down Tyson Chandler who was standing in front of him, earning an offensive foul.He was not as silent as Duncan and Kawhi Leonard. He walked over to communicate with the referee, stating that he thought it was a blocking foul just now.
The referee briefly explained to Tony Parker, signaled to uphold the original judgment, and let the linesman continue the game.
Xu Tian stayed in the backcourt and used his strength to compete with the two defensive players of the Spurs, trying to find space to receive the ball.
Kawhi Leonard and Boris Diaw didn't spare their physical strength, they fought against Xu Tian with all their strength, and didn't give him a chance to catch the ball.The actions of the three of them were almost hugging and wrestling.
The referee, who needed to make sure the players didn't clash, called a pull foul on Boris Diaw and halted the game.
Nick Young is a veteran who has played in the league for many years. He knew that the Spurs would not give Xu Tian space easily, so he passed the ball to George to start the Lakers' offensive round.
The Spurs sent two players to defend Xu Tian. Naturally, the remaining three players could only defend the zone. Although the strength of the interior defense would not be weakened a lot, the outside defense was a bit of a trade-off.Nick Young simply interspersed with moves and got another open opportunity.
George, feeling bad, grabbed the straw and passed the ball immediately.
Nick Young is a ruthless scorer. He seized the open space and raised his hand for another three-pointer!
Two hits!
58-75!
Popovich emphasized more than once that he hates three-pointers when facing media reporters. Nick Young hit two consecutive three-pointers, causing him to call a timeout again.
Xu Tian and George took advantage of the consecutive timeouts to quickly recover their strength and prepare for more intense competitions.Their lineup is not as deep as the Spurs, and it is only possible to recover the point difference by increasing the playing time of the main players.
Scott risked a rotation, sending McGee and replacing Tyson Chandler.He wants to try to increase the offensive ability of the interior to see if there is a way to attract the Spurs' defense to the penalty area.
Xu Tian took a bottle of Bodyarmor drink with the label removed, drank it down, and stood on the sidelines, watching Scott set up offensive tactics.
McGee and Nick Young became the focus of the tactical system. Scott tried to use these two to break the Spurs' inherent defensive system and partially liberate Xu Tian who was trapped.But in the end it still depends on the superstar to solve it, Scott knows this very well.
The atmosphere at the Staples Center was more lively than when it was more than 20 minutes behind, and the cheerleading performances were more exciting, which gradually revived the venue.This kind of home atmosphere is possible to support the players.
Xu Tian heard the referee blow the whistle, put the braces back in his mouth, walked back to the court slowly, and waited for the Spurs to dribble over.
Tony Parker was replaced by Ginobili and sat back on the bench to watch how his teammates faced Xu Tian's defense.It takes four games to win the series. Even if he wins this game, he still needs to win two games to advance to the Western Conference Finals. He still has to observe Xu Tian's defensive habits.
Ginobili did not directly challenge Xu Tian, but first directed his teammates to run, then distributed the ball, and then started to run, pulling Xu Tian aside.This is somewhat similar to Tony Parker's strategy, and it is basically the best way to weaken Xu Tian's defensive deterrence.
Kawhi Leonard spent a lot of energy on the defensive end, and was pushed out of his comfort zone by the top-defending George, who turned over and failed to score a fadeaway jumper.
McGee's card position is not as good as Duncan and Aldridge, but fortunately, he has the advantage of bouncing, jumping behind his back and taking off the defensive rebound.This was an oversight by Aldridge, who failed to trap McGee.
George received the pass and made a slow push to counter.He is also exhausting a lot of physical strength now, try to reduce the offensive and defensive rhythm as much as possible to ensure the success rate.
Xu Tian didn't move any more, and stood outside the three-point line on the right, pulling Kawhi Leonard's defense over.
Nick Young ran on the left side of the court, covered by McGee, and circled to the top of the 45-degree arc on the left, ready to catch the ball.
Ginobili bypassed McGee to cover, and quickly chased and defended.
George saw the Spurs' defensive attention shifted to Nick Young, passed the ball with both hands, and gave it to McGee who was going down.
McGee doesn't have many offensive skills. The skyhook that he trained all day yesterday happened to be used. He leaned against Aldridge, grabbed the ball with his right arm straight, and flexibly moved his wrist to throw the ball.
Aldridge couldn't touch McGee's outstretched right hand, and didn't dare to make a foul. He looked back to see if the ball was made!
Swish!
60-75, 15 points difference!
Popovich stood on the sidelines and yelled at the players on the court to make them play harder and not give the Lakers any easy chances to score.
Naturally, the Lakers players would not be disturbed. They ran back to the backcourt, put up a defensive formation, and waited for the impact of the Spurs.
