Chapter 497 Organization
Popovich has led the team to the playoffs for more than ten years, and he is very accurate in judging the situation on the court. Seeing Xu Tian hit three consecutive goals, he knows that he feels extremely hot tonight.Walking to the sidelines, making tactical gestures, let Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green continue to double-team Xu Tian.
Xu Tianneng guessed Popovich's general meaning, ran backcourt again, and got rid of Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green who wanted to entangle him.These two are the best perimeter defenders for the Spurs, and when they meet, they will reveal their tactical intentions.
Clarkson came to the backcourt, received a pass from Xu Tian, and tried to organize an offense at the top of the arc.
Xu Tian ran without the ball, and with the help of his teammates' continuous cover, he went to the left side of the court.He doesn't need to be completely open, as long as he can receive the ball, he can launch an offense.
Kobe saw Xu Tian's movement and knew that he had a strong desire to attack in this game, so he sat back on the bench and watched his performance in peace.
Xu Tian received the ball and turned around, held the ball face-to-face to test Kawhi Leonard's defense, and when Danny Green failed to make up, he made a jump shot without a solution!
Kawhi Leonard's center of gravity dropped too low, and he couldn't take off in a hurry. He stretched out his right hand in vain, but he could only reach Xu Tian's chest.This kind of defense is useless!
The basketball draws a perfect arc and hits the net hollow!
8-6!
Xu Tian made a mid-range shot from a long distance and made four consecutive hits!
Popovich saw that Tony Parker was a little lost, and immediately called Patty Mills to his side and asked him to replace Parker.At this time, he needs to increase the threat of outside shooting and make more space in the penalty area.
The appearance of Patty Mills immediately expanded the Lakers' defense.This gives a lot of offensive space in the penalty area.
Kawhi Leonard faced Xu Tian as the defensive player. Instead of trying to attack, he pulled to the right corner and took on the task of opening up space.
The Spurs quietly completed the shift of offensive focus, and Aldridge received a pass from Patty Mills.
Aldridge always believed that he had a chance to win the last game. With a fire in his heart, he held the ball and played with his back.
Nance Jr. defended as hard as he could, hitting Aldridge in the arm, but still couldn't stop the attack.
The basketball hits the board and bounces into the net!
2+1!
After Aldridge landed, he subtly pushed Nance Jr. and walked straight to the free throw line.
Nance Jr. is still a rookie and can't make exaggerated body movements, so he can only walk over and talk to the referee.He is not a super giant, and his attitude is quite good, so as to avoid irritating the referee and receiving a technical foul.
The referee was not very tolerant of the rookie, and without any explanation, he asked Clarkson to stand back to the right of the free throw line, ready to execute Aldridge's additional penalty.
Xu Tian can clearly feel that the referee's penalty scales for the two sides are different, but this is the Spurs' home court, and there is nothing wrong with this kind of thing.It's part of the home field advantage, and he's perfectly fine with that.
Aldridge felt very soft, and made a steady hit with the penalty!
8-9!
Xu Tian was double-teamed by Kawhi Leonard and Danny Green again in the backcourt, restrained his body movements, and received the serve with the help of Nance Jr.'s backcourt cover.The process wasted a few seconds, and Tyson Chandler narrowly missed a five-second serve violation.
Popovich was a little dissatisfied with the defensive strength shown by the two disciples, but he didn't remind him immediately, but first saw how the Lakers would play offensively.
Xu Tian holds the ball at the top of the arc, observes the running positions of his teammates, and at the same time pays attention to the movements of the two defensive players from the corner of his eye.
Kawaii Leonard and Danny Green were afraid of Xu Tian's breakthrough ability, so they didn't dare to stick to the defense. on the sky.The two of them have worked together to defend Xu Tian for a long time, and they are well aware of his offensive ability.
Xu Tian faked a pass with both hands to deceive Danny Green's sight, dribbled the ball with his right hand, and broke through directly in his direction.
Danny Green was a little distracted just now, and his defensive reaction was half a beat slow. He failed to block Xu Tian, who was directly breaking through, and was passed by him cleanly.
Xu Tian broke through to the free throw line, attracting four Spurs defensive players to come nearby, and threw the ball with his right hand, helping Nance Jr. to take off.
Nance Jr. received the ball with his right hand, dunked with one hand, and completed an alley-oop match!
10-9!
Popovich was dissatisfied with the effect of double-teaming, and called the first timeout of the game, emphasizing the defense against Xu Tian.He knows that MVP-level players can't be restricted, but he must also make him play uncomfortable, so that he won't be able to ask for anything like this.
Kobe took over the tactical board and drew a few defensive tactics with a marker. As for the offensive part, he said a simple sentence: "Pass the ball to Xu."
Xu Tian took the unwrapped drink from his teammate, took a sip calmly, and asked in a serious manner, "What if I don't score?"
"The big score in the series will become 1-3!" Kobe's answer was straightforward.
Xu Tian smiled, did not continue to talk about this topic, drank the drink in his hand, and handed the empty cup to Thackeray.
Thackeray said with a smile: "I have become a tea-serving boy."
Xu Tian also laughed and said, "This is a very important logistics supply. Without you handing over the towel, we wouldn't be able to play so well."
It was rare for Thackeray to see Xu Tian joking, and he was stunned for a while, but he didn't continue to speak when he heard the whistle that the timeout was over.
Xu Tian tidied up his jersey, returned to the field, and continued the game.
Duncan stood on the sideline of the front court, held the ball in both hands, and sent it to Patty Mills.
The defensive player Patty Mills faced was Clarkson. He didn't go to his teammates, and he caught the ball and made a jumper for a three-pointer!
The basketball draws a perfect arc and hits the net with precision!
10-12!
Xu Tian used Nance Jr.'s cover in the backcourt to find the space to receive the ball, and quickly rushed to the frontcourt after receiving the serve.
The Spurs' defense was once again pulled near the three-point line by him. The defense in the penalty area was quite weak, passing the ball through the crotch to Tyson Chandler who was in a good position.
Duncan was the closest to the penalty area, but when he ran back, he found that his mobility was not as good as before, and he couldn't return to the defense in time.
Tyson Chandler took the ball with both hands and directly contributed a dunk!
12-12!
The Spurs cheered at home and gave it to the players on the field.They could clearly feel that Xu Tian's condition was better than the night before, so they were vaguely worried and spared no effort to support the team.
When Patty Mills passed to Kawhi Leonard in the frontcourt, Xu Tian predicted that he failed to pass the ball and made a mistake.
Nick Yang knew that he didn't feel good when shooting, so he ran forward quickly and received a long pass from Xu Tian halfway.In normal games, he would definitely finish with a slam dunk, but today his legs were so weak that he could only choose to lay up and failed to score.
Patty Mills had given up on defense, and accidentally saw the basketball slip out, and rushed to pick up the defensive rebound.
Kobe couldn't stand this kind of offense, and called Warren to his side and asked him to replace Nick Young.
