Chapter 282 Belonging to the Spurs' Team Defense

After a timeout, the situation on the field changed suddenly as Charles Barkley said.

After Chris Paul passed halftime, Tony Parker posted up, and Danny Green still moved a little from the other side to prevent Chris Paul from breaking through.

The Clippers moved the ball quickly, and Chris Paul gave it directly to Jason Richardson in the bottom corner, but he didn't make a successful shot because Tim Duncan appeared in front of him.

Although you are known as the best defensive player in the 21st century, is it suitable for you to be a player who attacks my outside like this inside?Do you really think that my old man can only shoot outside?With a bit of resentment in mind, he went straight to the inside line after a feint.

But he ran into Danny Green who had just pounced on Chris Paul head-on. Jason Richardson didn't have time to think why he appeared in this place. He quickly passed the ball to Anson, and Anson was in front of Kawa Leonard, did not give him a chance to shoot a three-pointer at all.

After the same breakthrough, he was double-teamed by Split from Thiago.

When it was passed to Jordan at the basket, Kawhi Leonard, who threw it at the beginning, was already in place, and Jordan, who did not complete the lob at the first time, was already caught by Kawhi Leonard when he got up again. De completed the steal.

The Spurs' defense in this round was terrible. They seemed to have completely figured out the Clippers' passing route in just a few minutes. After continuous operations, there will always be Spurs players in front of the Clippers players.

"Wonderful rotation, the Spurs have two big men in the team and still defend the Clippers without any chance of three-pointers." Shaquille O'Neal let out a cry of surprise, completely forgetting that he was 1 minute ago Still saying Gregg Popovich is out of his mind.

If it was an accident, but after the Spurs made an offense, the Clippers attacked again and the same situation occurred again. It is not that there are no opportunities on the outside, but they are not very good. Anson is against Tim Duncan and Kawhi. Leonard's mid-range shots continued to miss.

However, there was a scoring drought for several minutes in a row, and it was not until Ansheng became independent once the golden rooster broke the scoring drought.

During these few minutes, the Clippers adopted a variety of offensive methods. At the beginning, they habitually wanted to use the star's personal ability to tear through the defense.

Anson did not play singles, and Chris Paul did not play singles. The Spurs' defense was very targeted. For the Clippers' two ball-holding points on the outside, the Spurs resolutely implemented the defense and double-teaming of the outside, because they firmly believed that the Clippers The boat's inside offense is not enough, and it is indeed the case. Jordan's independent offensive ability has become his biggest obstacle, especially the Spurs' outside line who cuts the ball quickly is the person that Jordan is most afraid of appearing now.

After breaking through the ball in singles and breaking the ball, the Clippers began to play pick-and-roll and open. There is nothing wrong with this choice. The most threatening pick-and-roll combination in the league, An Sheng can go in and cut out, whether he is playing a guard or playing inside, he will form a dislocation.

No, after a misplaced pick-and-roll, Anson faced the small man Tony Parker directly, but Tony Parker was not the only one on the three-point line that Anson dismantled. On the position chosen by Anson, Dante Green's bag The double-team appeared very quickly, and the two guards directly prevented An Sheng from even getting the ball, and the delay of the double-team also prevented An Sheng from being able to get the ball in the first place.

As soon as the time was delayed, this wave of pick-and-rolls was tantamount to playing in vain, and instead wasted 6 seconds of offensive time. The player who ended this round was Blake Griffin, and the choice was a mid-range shot, because until the end It took 7 seconds for a vacancy to appear at this position.

What about breaking the zone defense with a three-pointer?At this time, An Sheng had already complained helplessly in his heart, their three-pointers were not bad, why the Spurs were able to defend the inside line while defending their own team's three-pointers, this is completely illogical!

Here, I have to say that the Spurs are smart. It seems that the speed of movement is not as fast as the Clippers, and the Clippers players are not the kind of team without three-point ability. The outside starting trio can be said to be Now it is the most accurate three-pointer in the NBA, and at the beginning of the first quarter, their three-pointer performance was not bad, otherwise, after the timeout, the Spurs would not become stricter on the perimeter. .

And the key point of the current defense is that the height and wingspan of the two insiders of the Spurs are considered to be bugs Tim Duncan and Thiago Splitter. Maybe their footsteps are better than Blake Gerry Finn and Jordan are slower, but they are experienced, and their position selection for defense is the core of their success as a defensive method for the Spurs.

It's not too close, but it makes the opponent's mid-range shot feel uncomfortable, and as long as they hesitate a little, the outside line that has just been passed will immediately start flanking, and then the set of double-teaming and delaying has long been the case for the Spurs It's commonplace in training.

From leading by 5 points to trailing by 5 points, the Spurs' defense directly reversed the disadvantage in the rest of the first quarter. At 27:22, they played a 8:19 in 9 minutes, and the Spurs' defense played a decisive role. The most important role, the Clippers only scored 8 points in 9 minutes, one of which was an unreasonable three-pointer by Jason Richardson, Anson's two golden chickens were independent, and Chris Paul had an oversized backward mid-range shot .Each one is a manifestation of personal ability, but personal ability cannot play a game.

"Hey! Shaquille, do you still dare to say that Greg is out of his mind?" Although Charles Barkley didn't want to see the Clippers fall behind, he was still very happy to see Shaquille O'Neal make a fool of himself.

"No, no, this is the Spurs I am familiar with, the Spurs I have been wrestling with for 7 years." Shaquille O'Neal saw the familiar look of this Spurs, and fell into a full of memories. In the post-Bulls era from 1999 to 2005, the Lakers and Spurs won all the Western Conference championships during this time period and lost only one finals. "This is the defensive tacit understanding that the Spurs should have. Thoughts, but definitely can't do it, this is the team defense that belongs to this Spurs."
