There is still a 6-point advantage!
Scott Brooks was the first to panic. It seemed that he would not be at peace unless he played Westbrook.
So with a big wave of his hand, Westbrook and Yin Baka were replaced, and Billups and Collison were replaced.
"All stud!
The Thunder team deployed a lineup of the Thunder's four young men + Su Bei to maximize their offensive attributes! "
"meaning!
When the Thunder made personnel adjustments, the Spurs also followed up and made adjustments.
What the hell?
He actually replaced Stilritt, who was the biggest hero in the counterattack, and put Duncan back on the field!
What is this operation?
Bo Povich’s substitution is a little bit puzzling..."
However, the game begins!
Bo Povich's substitution had a miraculous effect.
Duncan's appearance has also become the most critical link in withstanding the Thunder's offensive impact.
"When Westbrook came on the court, he immediately took the ball and acted recklessly. He went in, went all the way, faced the man, rushed to the basket and layup...
Duncan swept over the defense to block Westbrook's shooting space, and Westbrook went for a layup..."
Bang-dang——!
With Duncan suppressing him and Westbrook attacking the basket, he could only make a lonely rush!
He forced a shot under the basket and missed.
"Great defense from the Spurs!
So exciting!
Bo Povich's understanding of tactics is so strong that he has the Thunder head coach under control!
When the Thunder attacked the GDP combination, they used a three-guard lineup, but used Ginobili and Parker as bait to lure the Thunder to attack the outside. Then, they used a carbine to attack the Thunder's internal rim protection.
When Scott Brooks replaced Westbrook to fight against the Spurs' basket, Bo Povich predicted the Thunder's move in advance and replaced Duncan to protect the Spurs' basket... "
The Thunder head coach's ability to make temporary adjustments has been hit by dimensionality reduction.
However, in the next round, Westbrook still hit the basket brainlessly.
His idea is very simple, if you can rush, shoot, if you can't rush, you will get fouled!
It's just a pity that the technique is too poor and he fell into the Spurs' pocket defense.
As long as Westbrook has any brains, he will know that he is being targeted and needs to pass the ball out to continue. However, Westbrook shows his tough side and forcibly pulls up the ball. He raises his hand and makes a zombie pull-up jumper, which is still drifting. That kind of, really damn talent.
Bang-dang——!
"It's Westbrook's routine again!
Continue to use his mid-range shooting skills to test the Spurs' defense. Who can not withstand such a test?
The rebound was protected by the Spurs, who immediately pushed for a quick counterattack. The three-back lineup has a speed advantage, but it's a pity that in front of the Thunder, he is just a younger brother. The Thunder retreated quickly, interrupting the Spurs' chance to counterattack..."
The Spurs didn't panic after failing to finish the game quickly.
Continuing to play high-position support, Parker did not turn over Duncan's card, but turned over Wu Sheng Jackson's card.
"We played a cover tactic with Jackson, and Parker went in and jumped out again.
boom--!
A back-up pass hit the ground, and the damn basketball was distributed to Jackson's hands outside the left three-point line. Durant pounced on Jackson from the help of Parker, but it was too late. Jackson pulled the ball and Get up, raise your hand and try a three-point pull-up jumper..."
Durant had already predicted it, he could only listen to the gunshot!
Bang-dang——!
"The opportunity came out, but Martial Saint Jackson failed to use it. He took a three-pointer from an open position and failed to hit..."
If you try, you will die. Lu Xun's words are still very reasonable.
After all, Wu Sheng Jackson is 34 years old, and his condition has declined a lot. In the 11/12 season, he joined the Spurs for the second time. He averaged only 9 points and 3 rebounds per game, and his three-point shooting rate was only 30%, which was not good.
color.
When this person has convulsions, he is quite strong.
The problem is that the water in the convulsive state is too deep and difficult to grasp!
"The Thunder dodged a bullet!
Harden got the basketball and immediately pushed it back with the ball... Oh my god! The basketball was about to be lost. The basketball in Harden's hand was cut off by Ginobili. Harden had no choice but to commit a foul for his mistake..."
Although the number of free throws was not reached, the Spurs took advantage of this offense, with Parker and Ginobili making consecutive breakthroughs, which exhausted the Thunder's defense.
Then, Gary Neal, a mediocre role player, used Duncan's screen to run out of the gap, get the basketball, and complete the layup, scoring two points.
With Gary Neal's goal, the Spurs continued their offensive wave and beat the Thunder with a 10-2 spurt, reducing the point difference to only 4 points.
Sir, did you make a mistake?
When Su Bei missed a three-pointer in the corner and couldn't get the basketball, he saw that Westbrook was still playing music, then being reckless, then shooting the basket, and continuing to test the Spurs' defense with his shooting prowess that is not enough for a cat. Su Bei was speechless.
Bang-dang——!
"Westbrook came on the field, failed to become the savior, but became the No. 6!
He made three consecutive shots and failed to score.
Scott Brooks' adjustment to put all the chips on Westbrook's shooting is really amazing.
So sharp, how did he think of it..."
Good guy, Su Bei is just a role player, and he didn't put any chips on Su Bei. This is understandable.
Durant is the scoring champion for three consecutive years. The one guarding Durant is the 34-year-old Warrior Jackson. No matter how you look at it, it is a better opportunity, but he was ruled out by Scott Brooks. What the hell? It's a talent!
Hong Kong True, even if it was a foul, they should have chosen the bearded Harden. Who would have thought that it was Westbrook's pawn that was selected. The choice was surprising, but the victory failed.
"The Thunder's offense continues to be unable to open things up.
The Spurs attacked. Ginobili took the ball and challenged Su Bei. He feinted with a step and changed direction to break through with the ball.
Su Bei fought and retreated. Westbrook rushed to help defend, but still couldn't withstand it. Ginobili used the snake step to forcefully break through the Thunder's zone defense and penetrated to the basket to avoid Yin Baka's attack. Block shots, hit the boards quickly..."
Peng, shua——!
Ginobili threw his body out and scored, falling to the floor and clenching his fists in celebration.
The Spurs' counterattack continued, launching a 12-2 offensive, with only 2 points left. Victory seemed to be right in front of them, within reach.
"The resilience of this Spurs team is so strong. No one can underestimate the Spurs in the playoffs.
When they smelled the chance of the finals, their determination and momentum to win were truly unstoppable.
To be honest, the Spurs' lineup really has no advantage over the Thunder, but with Po Povich's tactical strategizing and the players' teamwork and hard work, the Spurs play more like a championship team. team……"
Off the court, Scott Brooks became anxious and stood on the sidelines directing traffic.
Sure enough, Westbrook didn't mess around anymore. He dribbled the ball across half court and immediately passed the damn basketball to Durant!
This is the basic operation of the Thunder's offense. If Westbrook is not tough, then Durant will be the one to do it.
"What the hell?
Westbrook passed the ball carelessly, as if he was forcing business!
The Thunder's offensive intentions were predicted in advance by the Spurs. Jackson suddenly completed a close press on Durant at the moment Westbrook passed the ball.
Durant got the basketball and kept struggling, but couldn't get rid of Jackson's pressing.
Durant chose to force a breakthrough with the ball!
Snapped--!
Jackson intercepted the basketball, and Durant passed by him, but he couldn't pass the ball, so he had to fight back on the spot..."
Beep——!
The whistle blows, Lord
The referee whistled a foul on Durant.
First it was Westbrook, then Harden, and then Durant.
Also the third young master of Thunder?
Return the MVP!
I bother!
At critical times, one is less reliable than the other.
The attributes of the crouching dragon and the young phoenix appear one after another. It feels like they are staged, so unreal.
Three regular season MVP-qualified superstars, when fighting tough battles, each one is pitted against the other. Is there any way to do this?
Are there any laws?
"Still too young!
The Thunder's talent pool is definitely at a historical level, but it's a pity that they ran into the very sophisticated Spurs.
The core players of this Spurs team are indeed old, but that is the GDP combination..."
"Of course, the Thunder's overly simple tactics are also a flaw!
If Westbrook can't play, Durant will be replaced. The Spurs probably know how the Thunder play with their eyes closed, and it's not surprising that their bright-card style of play is targeted..."
Not to mention, in 2007, Wu Sheng Jackson completed a black eight miracle against the Mavericks against Nowitzki.
Durant's style of play is no more advanced than Nowitzki's in 2007. It's even the same type. If you don't get beaten, who will?
"In the fourth quarter, the Thunder haven't scored for 4 minutes starting from the 2 points when Su Bei scored the first goal.
With a 12-point lead, it was a bit inexplicable that the Thunder could play such a situation. The Thunder suddenly stalled and collapsed.
Next, Spurs' possession of the ball, Spurs' chance to equalize..."
Parker took the ball to the frontcourt, and the fans in the audience shouted "Attack! Attack!"
attack!
"With cheers and cheers, the basketball was lobbed to Duncan.
"Challenge Yin Baka in the Niujiao District!
See how Duncan plays?
Huh?
Parker suddenly made an air cut and played an off-ball screen with Duncan who turned around.
Duncan blocked Westbrook and passed the ball to Parker. He took a step forward and took off, hitting the basket. Yin Baka used his position to switch defense and block the shot...
Beep——!
Peng, shua——!
Parker!
beautiful!
When this goal was scored, it also caused a foul on Yin Baka's thugs. At the critical moment, he cooperated with Duncan and the score was 2+1!
"
"The Spurs not only want to equalize the score, but also go ahead at the same time!
"
"A 14-2 offensive immediately stopped the game. The Thunder should have called a timeout long ago..."
Calling a timeout just proved that Scott Brooks was thinking of a way.
The only way to break the situation is to sprinkle chicken soup!
"We haven't lost yet, we're just back on the same starting line.
Forget about the previous game, next, we need to play more resolutely. "
"The advantage in the lineup is still on our side!
The Spurs' core lineup is aging, and they tried their best at the beginning of the fourth quarter. I bet their Hugh Ney's gas tank is running low.
As long as we withstand their wave of reflections, the next step will be our time to hunt down this powerless Spurs team..."
Scott Brooks' words sounded nice and made some sense. The Thunder players returned to the court with a little more confidence in their eyes.
After the timeout, Parker executed a free throw, and with a bang, he steadily made the free throw and scored a 3-pointer.
After a 15-2 offensive, the Spurs finally completed the lead.
84 to 85!
"Then the music plays, and then Durant takes the ball one-on-one!
Wu Sheng Jackson continued to press and used physical strength against Durant.
Durant swayed left and right, took a step to the right, lifted the ball, and wanted to hit Jackson..."
However, Jackson did not hesitate.
There is no feint that cannot hit the defense. If not, then try it a second time.
Durant was pressed hard and continued to feint. He had already thought of a way to score.
The question is, when Jackson is kicked away, he will make a foul and go to the free throw line.
When the Thunder's superstars play like Westbrook can't hit the basketball and Durant misses outside shots, they want to play dirty.
The technique of stepping on the foot has not been learned, but the technique of drawing fouls is endless.
It's just a pity that Jackson didn't fall for the continuous feints.
With no choice, Durant could only force a pull-up when there was no rhythm. He raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper...
Bang-dang——!
"Still missed!
Both the top and second players of the Thunder have failed to find their form. The offense is too weak and they will just hang around..."
"In the Spurs' counterattack, Gary Neal rushed to the frontcourt and broke through with the ball. After being blocked, he immediately passed the ball to Ginobili who came in through an air cut, and made an emergency two-point jumper...
Swish——!
Still on target!
The Spurs' offense is simply amazing, no matter how hard they play, they are really unstoppable! "
84 to 87!
The score difference became 3 points.
The Thunder have fallen from heaven to hell!
Six minutes passed in the fourth quarter, and only 2 points were scored. If you don’t die, who will die?
"Again?
It was Westbrook's breakthrough. He went in, he shot... no, he flicked the basketball to Su Bei, who came in through an air cut. Against Ginobili's block, Su Bei received the ball and made a pull-up jumper. Take action...
Swish——!
Got it!
Finally, finally the Thunder scored.
It's not easy.
Su Bei's two points are so crucial!
At the critical moment, Su Bei's shooting is still reliable..."
86 to 87!
The score difference became 1 point.
Outside the court, Scott Brooks excitedly burst into applause.
Finally, Westbrook finally figured it out and actually knew how to pass the ball to help his teammates score.
The Thunder are also growing and there is still a chance!
However, when Scott Brooks saw the Spurs' offense, his face immediately became serious.
I saw Duncan, pulling up to the high post, covering for Ginobili, blocking Su Bei's pursuit, and dribbling the ball for a layup.
"The European step chased Yin Baka's body. Ginobili broke through to the end, collided with Yin Baka's body in the air, and then threw the basketball toward the basket..."
Bang-dang——!
Ginobili's layup missed.
However, the referee's whistle also sounded.
Beep——!
"horrible!
GDP, the core player of the Spurs, has great control over the situation on the court!
At this point in time, the Thunder can't stand it when they rush to the basket and draw fouls to the free throw line.
In terms of tactical execution, the Thunder fell behind again.
The Spurs have too much experience in the playoffs, and the Thunder can't compare.
Durant feinted outside, Westbrook dribbled the ball and bumped into each other, but they failed to successfully draw a foul and get to the free throw line, but Ginobili taught them a lesson..."
Any technique used to draw fouls is useless.
You still have to move forward bravely!
Ginobili's offensive choice, even if he failed to cause a foul, dribbling the ball for a layup, the score was still stable.
Swish——!
Swish——!
No mercy, Ginobili made the free throw steadily and scored two points.
86 to 89!
The score difference became 3 points.
"The Thunder attacked, Westbrook broke through with the ball, went in, came out again, passed the ball to Harden, and then broke through with the ball..."
Su Bei made an air cut, and with the help of Yin Baka's cover, he got rid of Ginobili and moved from the left to the right. Duncan was unable to expand the defense, and Su Bei was left empty.
boom--!
Harden breaks through and distributes the ball, distributes the damn basketball to the right three-point corner, catches the ball, jumps up, raises his hand and shoots a three-point jumper...
At this time, Duncan, like Yao Ming once upon a time, was too slow. He only heard the gunshot when he jumped out. He could only bet that Su Bei's three-point pistol had no bullets.
Swish——!
Guessed wrongly, Su Bei's three-point pistol had bullets in it.
"Fine!
Subei has a three-pointer!
The Thunder should have played this way a long time ago.
If the ball rights of the Thunder King Combination are given to Su Bei to shoot, even if Blind Jiba shoots randomly, it will be much more reliable than them..."
The score is 89 to 89!
The two sides once again returned to the same starting line.
It's a pity that there is not much joy on the faces of the Thunder players.
Looking back, Parker dribbled the ball through, attracted a double attack, passed the ball to Gary Neal, who was empty outside, and shot a three-point jumper...
Swish——!
"The Spurs responded with a three-pointer, too!
The Thunder's defensive tactics of flanking the GDP combination and emptying the Spurs' role players failed.
This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the Spurs' offense has been crazy.
Who would have thought that in the fourth quarter of the game, except for Jackson's missed three-pointer, the Spurs basically didn't miss a single offense..."
Whether it's using the DGP combination as bait, attacking from east to west to hit the inside, or the strong play of Parker and Ginobili, or breaking the ball, the Thunder can't stop it.
"The Thunder's offense also opened up the situation.
Durant dribbled the ball for a layup, causing Parker's double foul and getting the opportunity to go to the free throw line and make a free throw.
Two swish sounds, Durant finally, finally got off his guard. "
…
"The Spurs' offense, Ginobili's strong attack on Jiangsu Province, was also unable to withstand it.
It was so magical and the rhythm was so good. Su Bei was forced by Ginobili's snake step and could only use a foul to stop it.
Beep——!
When the whistle sounded, Ginobili went to the free throw line and made a free throw, and he also got the points question right..."
In the next game, the two sides entered an anxious stage.
In terms of offense, you are on one side and I am on the other side. No one can do anything to the opponent. It all depends on whose attack is stronger and lasts longer.
…
