The inter-section break is over and the second quarter begins.
Spurs lineup: Hill, Ginobili, Jefferson, Bonner, Mahinmi.
Warriors lineup: Ellis, Morrow, Maggette, Dramanovic, Tolliver.
The Spurs took the lead at the beginning of the second quarter.
Hill quickly dribbled the ball forward and came outside the three-point line to organize the offense.
Ginobili used the cover of his teammates to cut towards the basket, received Hill's pass, took a smart European step, shook off the defending Dramanovic, and flew for a layup.
20:28!
The Warriors quickly sent a baseline kick, and Ellis received the ball and rushed toward the frontcourt.
When he came outside the three-point line, Xiao Gongju quickly made a Samgold move, shook Hill's center of gravity, suddenly burst out as fast as possible, passed Hill in one step, and broke into the three-point line.
"Damn it!" Hill cursed secretly, turned around and quickly pursued the defense.
On the other side, Ellis rushed into the penalty area and saw Mahinmi stepping forward to defend. He did not slow down and rushed straight over.
When he was about to collide with Mahinmi, the young man raised an extreme top, turned around and passed Mahinmi, rushed to the basket and flew for a layup, a series of smooth movements.
On the Warriors bench, Sun Yi, Curry and others stood up excitedly, waving towels in their hands and cheering.
Looking back, Ginobili missed a three-point shot from the outside, and the Warriors protected the backcourt rebounds.
On the Spurs bench, Popovich frowned slightly when he saw this scene on the court.
Manu is fine in everything, but he is a little disobedient to discipline.
"This guy just likes to mess around. This is not the tactic I arranged."
Popovich walked to the sidelines and shouted toward the court: "Manu, execute the strategy, or you get out!"
Ginobili, who retreated, nodded, and in order to make up for his mistake, the defense became more active.
Ellis dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and gave tactical gestures to his teammates.
Dramanovic quickly ran out to coordinate the pick-and-roll.
Xiao Gongju bypassed the screen, rushed into the three-point line, accelerated one step past the slow-moving Bonner, and rushed straight towards the basket.
Upon seeing this, Mahinmi immediately dropped his defender and rushed back to the basket to cover.
Seeing this, Ellis distributed the ball to the right corner.
If it were a small public game in the past, he would definitely force a layup. Now his playing style has changed a lot, and he has minimized unnecessary cancerous plays.
Tolliver, who was ambushing in the right corner, received the pass and hit a three-pointer.
25:28!
It was the Spurs' turn to attack. They didn't dare to mess around in this round, and they followed the tactics strictly.
Ginobili made a snake-like breakthrough into the penalty area and was double-teamed, and immediately gave the ball away.
Bonner, who was outside the left three-point line, received the pass and raised his hand to hit a three-pointer.
25:31!
In the next few rounds, the two sides played evenly, and it was difficult to separate, and the point difference could not be widened.
The second quarter lasted about 4 minutes, and both sides gradually replaced their main players on the field.
After substitution adjustments, the Warriors attacked.
Sun Yi came a few steps ahead of the right corner, received Curry's pass, made a triple threat action, and took a tentative step to shake McDyess's center of gravity.
At the same time, Curry quickly passed by Sun Yi and ran towards the bottom corner.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Sun Yi passed the ball from his crotch to the ground and moved laterally to block the pursuing Parker.
"Hey, baby!" The French sports car's vision suddenly went dark. It felt like it had hit a "wall" and it let out a miserable cry.
On the other side, Curry ran to the corner, received a pass from Sun Yi, and hit an open three-pointer.
This is a new coordination tactic developed by the Warriors coaching staff for Sun Yi and Curry, and it does have good results.
On the sidelines, when Popovich saw the scene on the court, his mood suddenly became unhappy.
The Warriors once again played as a team, causing flaws in the defensive tactics he had formulated previously.
"As expected of the teacher, he came up with a way to break the situation so quickly."
Popovich became serious and prepared to take advantage of the situation.
On the court, the Spurs still leave the ball to Duncan to handle the most confident points.
After receiving the pass, Shi Fo turned around and faked a mid-range shot.
A second-year rookie like Randolph was no match for Deng Daidai, and he was immediately deceived.
Duncan quickly collected the ball and broke through to the left side of the free throw line, got to the basket, pulled onions on dry land, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
The audience burst into applause, and cheers and shouts filled the arena.
Dunks like this are rare. After Duncan entered the end of his career, in order to save energy, he would never dunk a ball that could be put up for a layup.
It can be seen that Deng was a little excited to play tonight.
Back on the court, the Warriors quickly hit the baseline.
Curry dribbled the ball forward quickly, gave the ball to Sun Yi again, and then ran over.
With the lessons learned from past mistakes, the Spurs players were ready, and McDyess quickly changed defense.
But this time Sun Yi did not pass the ball, but started quickly, crushing Parker and rushing towards the penalty area.
The French sports car gave up resistance. He couldn't guard against Sun Yi at all, and he felt very depressed at the same time.
Why is it always him who gets hurt? !
Sun Yi carried Parker to the basket and immediately hit the board for a layup.
Duncan rushed over to help defend and jumped up hard, stretching his arms to interfere, but failed to block the basketball.
After the basketball hits the board, it rebounds into the basket.
After scoring the goal, Sun Yi breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost blocked by Deng Daidai just now. From now on, he should pay more attention to this honest-looking guy.
The ball transitions and the Spurs attack.
Parker used Duncan's pick-and-roll cooperation to break into the basket, attract the defense and then pass the ball out.
Jefferson received the pass from outside the three-point line on the right and hit a three-pointer.
In the next round, Sun Yi and Curry failed to cooperate. After shaking for a while, they defended McDyess and shot a pull-up jumper.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed!
The Spurs protected the backcourt rebounds, Parker dribbled forward, and immediately passed the ball when his teammates had an opportunity.
Ginobili received the pass and made a chasing three-pointer.
On the Spurs bench, Popovich looked at it and shook his head, but the next second the basketball hit the net, he instantly changed his expression, smiled and clapped his hands.
Hitting two consecutive three-pointers, the Spurs once again widened the point difference.
In the next game, the Spurs slowed down their offensive pace and used strong defense to slowly waste time with the Warriors.
Facing the Spurs' airtight defense, the Warriors were unable to speed up and were unable to perform run-and-gun and fast breaks, so they were forced to fall into a positional battle.
Relying on Ellis's singles and Curry's sometimes ineffective fairy ball, the score was clinging to the goal and did not allow the Spurs to further widen the point difference.
At the end of the half, the score on the big screen was 43 to 55. The Spurs led by 12 points entering the second half.
During the halftime break, in the Warriors locker room, head coach Nelson was racing against time to plan the next tactics.
The Warriors players listened carefully to the tactics, and they once again felt a long-lost sense of urgency.
"At halftime, we fell behind by 12 points, and the point difference was not too big. As I expected, we can't let the situation continue to develop. It's time for us to use our secret weapon and kick the Spurs hard. Ass, win the damn game.”
Before setting up the tactics, Nelson gave each player a bowl of chicken soup for the soul.
Most of the Warriors players did this, and instantly became excited and extremely excited.
Old Nelson nodded with satisfaction, clapped his hands, and continued: "Okay, let's lay out the tactics next."
The players fell silent and listened carefully to Nelson's tactics.
On the other side, in the Spurs locker room, Popovich also arranged offensive and defensive tactics for the second half.
“The defense was pretty good in the first half, and we kept it up, and in the second half we still cut off the connection between the Warriors players and let them play in isolation.
If you encounter a screen, you immediately change defense and cannot give your opponent a chance to score easily. At the same time, you give up fighting for offensive rebounds and quickly return to defense, which cannot give the Warriors a chance to counterattack. "
After Popovich arranged the defensive tactics, he continued to arrange the offensive tactics.
The Spurs players nodded one after another to express their understanding, and then took the time to rest and prepare for the second half of the game.
Not long after, the short 15-minute intermission ended and the second half began.
The Spurs took the lead at the beginning of the third quarter.
Parker dribbled to the top of the arc, dropped the ball inside, and let Duncan handle the ball.
In the mid-range area on the right, Duncan received the pass and turned around to face Randolph in singles.
This time Randolph didn't fall for the trick again and tried his best to prevent Duncan's jumper.
Sun Yi retreated to the basket to grab the rebound, and after landing, he quickly rushed towards the frontcourt.
The Spurs players retreated quickly and orderly, returning to their own defensive areas.
Sun Yi dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, waved to his teammates, and made tactical gestures.
Curry understood the situation and quickly ran forward to coordinate the pick-and-roll.
With the help of the screen, Sun Yi got rid of the defense and quickly broke through to the free throw line.
The Spurs quickly switched defense, with Parker switching to guard Sun Yi.
Sun Yi looked at Parker in front of him and smiled. He immediately turned around, lowered his shoulders and weight, and then punched Parker on the chest.
The little French sports car had a death wish. His thin body couldn't resist Sun Yi's attack, and he gave up resistance after two or three blows.
After Sun Yi easily squeezed away Parker, he turned over and hit a jumper.
45:55!
On the Spurs bench, Popovich sat firmly on the Diaoyutai without panic.
If he could win this game with the Warriors' No. 9 rookie singles, he would admit it.
On the court, Parker dribbled to the three-point line and played a pick-and-roll with Duncan.
With the help of the screen, the French sports car broke through to the free throw line, used the gyroscope to turn past Randolph, who was changing defense, and quickly rushed into the penalty area.
Sun Yi rushed back quickly, anticipating Parker's next move and preparing to block the shot.
The French sports car was careful and did not rush for a layup. He caught a glimpse of Sun Yi following him from the corner of his eye and immediately passed the ball out.
The unguarded McDyess received the pass and hesitated a little. This was not within his shooting range. He took a step forward with the ball and took off to shoot.
Due to McDyess's ink operation, Sun Yi rushed back and immediately rushed forward, stretching his arms to interfere with the shot.
The basketball bounced out of the frame and was snatched by Randolph. He immediately found Sun Yi and rushed over, then rushed towards the frontcourt.
After receiving the ball, Sun Yi quickly dribbled forward. He saw Xiao Gongju running quickly in front of him on the right and passed the ball.
Ellis received the pass, accelerated into the penalty area, and scored a tough layup relying on Ginobili who stepped forward to defend.
47:55!
"What a ball! Sun Yi passed the ball so beautifully. Ellis didn't need to make any adjustments after catching the ball. He just rushed straight in and it was done. I have to say that Sun Yi's basic skills are so solid." Director Zhang praised without hesitation. .
Seeing that the score was approaching single digits, the Spurs asked Duncan to complete the attack just to be on the safe side.
After passing the ball to Duncan, Parker suddenly started cutting towards the basket.
"Damn it!" Curry couldn't react and cursed, turning around to defend himself.
In the mid-range area on the right, Deng Daidai held the basketball high and carefully protected the ball, fearing that it would be taken away by Sun Yi again.
When he saw Parker rushing towards the basket, he quickly passed the ball with quick eyes and hands.
Sun Yi waved his arms to interfere, but failed to touch the basketball.
The French sports car cut inside received the pass, rushed to the basket and scored an easy layup, stabilizing the situation on the court.
In the next three rounds, the Warriors still let Sun Yi play from behind, and the effect was pretty good, hitting two goals and scoring 4 points.
The Spurs only hit one three-pointer in these three rounds.
Popovich immediately requested a substitution adjustment.
Although Sun Yi is allowed to play singles, he cannot be allowed to play too easily. A little pressure must be applied to consume his energy.
After substitutions and adjustments, Ginobili made a serpentine breakthrough and caused a foul and got two free throw opportunities.
With the fans cheering, Ginobili stood on the free throw line, took the basketball from the referee, and made two free throws steadily.
51:62!
The ball transitions and the Warriors attack.
Sun Yi once again cooperated with Curry in a pick-and-roll. After bypassing the screen, he found that the person blocking him was Ginobili.
He thought it would be the same for anyone, but then turned around and relied on Ginobili for a post-up single.
But Sun Yi was wrong. Ginobili was not as honest and friendly as Parker.
This guy learned from Bowen and has a lot of tricks.
When Sun Yi turned over and shot a jumper, Ginobili inadvertently "touched" Sun Yi's waist, making a subtle move.
Sun Yi was affected and his shooting posture was slightly deformed. He was unable to pass the ball and could only throw the ball.
Bang!
The basketball bounced out of the frame and missed.
The Spurs protected the backcourt rebounds, and Parker took his time dribbling forward.
Other Spurs players ran quickly according to the tactical requirements.
Duncan came up and gave Ginobili an off-ball screen.
"Yao Dao" quickly bypassed the screen, cut into the penalty area, received Parker's pass, rushed to the basket and flew for a layup.
51:64!
It was the Warriors' turn to attack. Sun Yi dribbled to the right side of the three-point line and made a tactical gesture that had never been seen before.
Upon seeing this, the Warriors players understood the situation and ran to the designated positions one after another.
Randolph quickly left the penalty area and came to the free throw line. The sheep suit stepped forward to cover Sun Yi.
Maggette quickly made a move without the ball and moved closer to the free throw line intentionally or unintentionally.
At the same time, Curry ran towards the penalty area and made an air cut.
Upon seeing this, Parker quickly followed, paying attention to Sun Yi's pass and preparing to intercept it.
After the primary school student quickly ran into the penalty area, he suddenly changed direction and ran towards the top of the arc.
Randolph and Maggette, who had arrived near the free throw line, immediately approached each other.
When Curry rushed through the gap between the two of them, he quickly took a step towards the other party to regain his footing and closed the "elevator door".
Parker, who was pursuing the defense, was dumbfounded and thought the Warriors were being rogue.
How the hell do you get around this!
On the other side, Sun Yi activated the effect of the badge [Dealing Cards from the Top of the Arc] and accurately passed the ball to Curry.
Curry, who was unguarded, immediately took off and threw the basketball in his hand.
Swish!
Hollow into the net!
54:64!
On the bench, Popovich was stunned for a moment when he saw the scene on the court and prepared to observe again without requesting a timeout.
