Chapter 306 True Strength
An Luo rested at the hotel for a day, and watched a game between the Warriors and the Rockets by the way.I have to admit that the Warriors this season are really strong.
Although neither Curry nor Durant scored more than 20 points, the starting five all scored in double figures.Plus the two great gods Livingston and Iguodala on the bench.There are just too many to fight.
Poor Harden!I fought desperately, and I saw that those on the other side didn't even break a few drops of sweat.Look at my guys again, it's hard to say!
However, now An Luo has no mind to consider Harden's feelings.Their second game against the Spurs is about to begin.
Although they won the first game, although Westbrook wanted to win two consecutive games, everyone knows that the Spurs will not always be like the last game.Popovich will certainly not sit idly by, he will definitely make particularly targeted adjustments.The next one might be tough.
On the evening of May 5, at the ATT Center in San Antonio.
It was still the same as last time.An Luo found that the people here are always so calm.Even if their team just lost Game [-] of the entire series at home.Perhaps, even if the Spurs won the last game, their reaction would be similar.
As everyone thought, the Spurs' lineup has been adjusted.
An Luo noticed when the players from both sides came out.In the Spurs' starting lineup, the original fifth position David Lee was replaced by Gasol.
Can't see any intention.Whether it is David Lee or Gasol starting, it seems to have little impact on the Thunder.It can be seen that the Spurs still have to insist on using a big lineup to deal with the Thunder.
Seeing the other party's adjustments like this, An Luo was a little worried.A long time ago, when he was still in China, he knew about Popovich on the Internet.In everyone's eyes, he is a cunning character.Of course, this word is somewhat inappropriate, but it is enough to express the impression in people's minds.
So he felt that the other party would definitely not be that simple.But he really couldn't figure it out.Can their twin towers limit these defenders on their side?Donovan was the same at this time, his brows were tightly frowned, looking thoughtful.
Regardless of what everyone thinks, the game has begun.
Seeing Pau Gasol appear in the starting lineup, the audience finally gave some applause.The veterans who have always insisted on the game are the most respected, and Gasol is also 37 years old this year.
But his performance doesn't look old at all.When jumping the ball, he easily defeated Adams.
Parker took the ball up the court and lobbed it to Aldridge at the basket.It seems that the Spurs really still play like that, just hit the basket.
Aldridge pushed in, but Grant couldn't stand it.But after he made a head, he immediately distributed the ball to Leonard at the top of the arc.After the latter received the ball, he pulled it up and shot a three-pointer.
This is rare.It's not that Leonard doesn't shoot three-pointers, it's just that in the Spurs, such situations are really rare.
Seeing less doesn't mean it won't happen.
These NBA players are actually very comprehensive.The things we are not good at that we see in the game are often sacrificed because of tactical requirements.
Just like Leonard, An Luo had the illusion that that guy was like a beast full of ropes.After he got rid of those shackles, it would be terrible.
Looking back, Westbrook advanced with the ball.But at this time, Donovan and An Luo finally saw some other changes in the Spurs.
Leonard, who was supposed to be in the third position, switched to the first position to defend Westbrook.But Aldridge, who was supposed to be on the inside, pulled out to defend Robertson.
What kind of tactic is this!
Tony Parker went to guard Oladipo, and Danny Green faced Grant.In the entire lineup, only Gasol stays at the basket alone. What kind of twin-tower tactic is this?
An Luo turned his head to look at Donovan again.The other party still had the same expression, I'm afraid they didn't understand it!
But soon, the game on the field gave the answer.
Westbrook advanced with the ball, and Robertson came over to pick and roll.At the moment of switching defenses, Aldridge suddenly rushed up and formed a pincer attack with Leonard two meters from the three-point line, forcing Westbrook to pass the ball to his teammate.After Oladipo received the ball, he rushed to the basket.Aldridge followed up again, forcing Audi into a situation where there were tigers in front and wolves in back.In the end, his layup missed the basket in order to avoid Gasol's block.
Looking back, Leonard received Parker's pass, and with Aldridge's screen, he rushed to the free throw line in two steps, and a jumper ended the offense.
Then switch to the Thunder offense.Westbrook confronted Leonard head-on.But Gasol has always stood in the passing lane of Westbrook and Adams.At the moment when the opponent took off for a layup, Gasol took off and blocked the block, which interfered with Westbrook's layup.
Fortunately, Adams grabbed the rebound from behind.The Thunder got a second chance to attack.
After Westbrook received the ball, he broke through from outside the three-point line on the right and along the bottom line.Leonard put the bottom line directly, Gasol stood under the basket, drove Westbrook in, and did not give him the chance to catch Adams.At this time, Westbrook has only two options, either force it or distribute it to the outside.In the end, he chose to give it to Oladipo in the left corner, allowing him to re-attack.
The Thunder's several consecutive offenses were destroyed by the opponent, and the Spurs' changes made the players on the court very uncomfortable.Especially Westbrook. In this game, he faced Leonard, the opponent's strongest defender, and he was already playing very uncomfortable.Next to him is Aldridge, who is watching and will come over at any time.
Even more irritating is that Leonard wasn't dead set on Westbrook's drive to the rim.He first blocked, and after holding Westbrook's fiercest wave of impact, he put the opponent in.After putting it in, he kept sticking to it. With his height and wingspan, Westbrook would have to eat a big hat if he didn't pay attention.
What's even more terrifying is that there is still a big Gasol standing under the basket.Although the 37-year-old age has made his footsteps no longer quick, but with his height and wingspan talent alone, he is still quite a threat on the defensive end.
It's not that Westbrook has never passed the ball to other teammates, but the effect is not good.The Spurs are determined to let go and not let go.But when he broke in, he encountered the same situation as Westbrook.
It's amazing!This is the real strength of the Spurs!What luck to win so easily in the last game!
