Chapter 538: The competition becomes a 'you destroy my paradise, I will break your wings' situation!
June 2, at8t Center Arena.
In the 2012 Western Conference Finals, the Battle of Tianwang Mountain started at the home court of the Spurs.
When the Thunder found a winning formula: on defense, they flanked the GDP combination and let role players take action. On offense, they played more as a team and role players dared to take action. The Spurs exposed flaws in their lineup and lack of talent.
At the same time, the lineup is aging, especially with Duncan getting older. The decline in dominance in the paint and the inability to protect the basket have also always plagued this Spurs team.
It is no longer possible, absolutely impossible, to be able to be both offensive and defensive as before, and to be able to attack and defend well!
With no choice, the Spurs can only speed up and attack...
The GDP combination offense is targeted, and the role players Leonard, Diaw and Danny Green, with their mediocre offensive abilities, are obviously unable to defeat the current Thunder team that is on the right path.
In the Western Conference G5 game, the Spurs returned to their home court and the top five made adjustments.
Tie Cheng Huang Ama Zhang Tielin's Danny Green was benched and replaced by Ginobili.
A lineup of Duncan, Diaw, Leonard, Ginobili, and Parker was arranged.
“It’s not unusual for Ginobili to bring it up and maximize his offensive attributes!
Last season against the Grizzlies, Ginobili was outplayed.
Last season, Ginobili was swept out 4-0 by the Suns in the semifinals.
In fact, Ginobili is not suitable for playing, but obviously, the Spurs have no choice. Let’s take a look at the five players on the Thunder..."
It's still Perkins, Yin Baka, Durant, Su Bei and Westbrook.
The game has begun!
At the beginning of the first quarter, the Spurs got the ball for the first attack.
"Ginobili broke through with the ball, Su Bei fought and retreated, and Westbrook's defense blocked Ginobili's attack.
The basketball is in Parker's hands..."
It was another mediocre double inside high post support. Parker turned over Duncan's card and played a mediocre pick-and-roll tactic. Parker got rid of Westbrook and mismatched Yin Baka.
A sharp breakthrough, coupled with a sudden change of direction, and chasing Yin Baka's body, eventually Yin Baka got a foul. Fortunately, Parker's layup did not score.
Parker got a chance to go to the free throw line and make a free throw.
Swish——!
Swish——!
Made both free throws.
0 to 2!
The Spurs took the lead in opening their scoring account.
Then, the Thunder attacked.
"Westbrook acted like a reckless man, dribbling the ball past Parker, getting in, pulling up and shooting, and raising his hand, it was a zombie who shot a pull-up jumper..."
Parker can't compare. It can withstand it and can only hear the sound of gunshots.
Bang-dang——!
The iron is deflected.
"Yin Baka, as a forward, blocked Duncan. Su Bei grabbed the offensive rebound and was blocked. He had no room to take action and immediately passed the ball to Durant.
Huh?
Durant caught the ball and attempted a three-point jumper..."
Under Leonard's interference, Durant's follow-up shot and three-pointer missed.
If you try it, you will die. As far as Lu Xun is concerned, there is still nothing wrong with it.
Next, in the Spurs' offense, Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt and distributed the ball to Ginobili for a breakthrough.
"It went in again and jumped out again.
The basketball returned to Parker's hands, then music played, and then high-post support.
Duncan's cards were turned over again, and Parker misplaced his military training to start training Yin Baka.
Huh?
He changed direction again and chased Yin Baka's body, without even a chance to dodge..."
Beep——!
Yin Baka's thug fouled, and Parker got another chance to get to the free throw line.
However, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that only 40 seconds into the first quarter, Yin Baka received two fouls. His mediocre pick and roll became the Spurs' killer move!
You know, in the last game, Yin Baka made 11 of 11 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored a defensive double-double of 26 points and 11 rebounds. He was a major contributor to the Thunder's win.
The Spurs' continuous misplaced military training shows that they are disrespectful of martial ethics and want to knock Yin Baka off the field!
It turns out that Ginobili was appointed to add a breakthrough player just to attract the Thunder's defensive attention so that Parker's beheading strategy could be completed.
Off the court, Scott Brooks was immediately dumbfounded, but had no choice but to replace Yin Baka with Collison.
"Po Povich is good at this hellish trick!
Without Bowen, the master of stepping on the ground, he can also use dirty tricks to make the opponent's important players unable to play well..."
Obviously, Bo Povich has realized that if the lineup and talent are not as good as the Thunder, there is no way to defeat the Thunder without letting the opponent reduce their numbers.
The Thunder are still too young after all!
Swish——!
Swish——!
Parker faced the question of sending points, did not miss a shot, and made two free throws.
0 to 4!
Looking back, the Thunder attack.
Westbrook, an old 6, chose to play by himself.
Or break through for a layup and test the Spurs' defense with his shooting skills that wouldn't even feed a cat.
As a result, there was a bang and it was sent again.
Su Bei spread his hands, and Westbrook had a look of confusion on his face, but also a smile.
Under the cover of that turtle face, it seemed hard to understand, but it couldn't change the situation where Su Bei could only focus on offense.
In the last game, the turtle Westbrook fell down and the entire team attacked and had a hard time. It is difficult to replicate again.
After all, at this time, the big score is 2 to 2. Both sides are back on the same starting line, and Westbrook can start to make waves.
With such a talent, the Thunder still mistakenly regard him as a treasure. What can they do in vain?
The Spurs attacked and Parker took the ball to the frontcourt. This time, he no longer pretended.
Instead of giving the ball to Ginobili, he favored Duncan alone, and they both used pick-and-roll tactics.
"Duncan blocked Westbrook, and Parker mismatched Collison!
Mismatching is always a problem, but with the Thunder's defensive ability, they can't do it!
Durant chose to shrink back, but Collison couldn't resist it and took action directly, using a foul to disrupt Parker's continued offense..."
The ball still belongs to the Spurs.
Fortunately, reshuffling the cards and delaying time are still useful.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Westbrook sent Parker a pressing press so that he could not catch the basketball.
"Ginobili got the basketball, and he made a snake-like step towards Jiangsu North. Without Westbrook's defense, Jiangsu North was fighting and retreating. The defense was about to lose. Seeing that Ginobili was about to pass him, Jiangsu North took action.
Already..."
Beep——!
Bang-dang——!
When the whistle sounded, the referee called a foul on the Subei thug, and Ginobili also got the opportunity to go to the free throw line and make a free throw.
"Ginobili played so smart!
When he saw Su Bei take action, he immediately stepped forward and made a shooting motion.
The free throw job of giving away points was easy..."
Swish——!
Swish——!
Also made two free throws.
0 to 6!
"The Spurs' sharp breakthrough was so lethal that in less than 2 minutes, the entire Thunder team was fouled 4 times. The Thunder's defense will then become even more difficult.
Of course, the most difficult thing is their offense!
Durant took the ball, challenged Leonard, raised the ball and feinted a shot, then broke through with the ball, pulled it up and shot, then shot a two-point pull-up jumper..."
Bang-dang——!
Still missed!
After Westbrook finished attacking, it was replaced by Du Shao.
The Thunder's winning formula in the first two games has been fed to the dog. The offense is still the same young boy as before, blind and tyrannical without any change.
The two young masters of Thunder are real. They are crouching dragons and young phoenixes!
But this is the style of the Thunder. This is a Thunder team with two young players. If they don't become wild, they may not be able to play anymore.
Bang-dang——!
…
Bang-dang——!
…
In the next game, the Thunder, led by the young players and the old 6, played an iron show for nearly 4 minutes.
Finally, the Spurs showed some respect and gave the Thunder a little face. After beating the Thunder 8-0, their offense also picked up steam.
Off the court, Scott Brooks has no reason to adjust. This is the Thunder's basic rule. Just let the bullets fly for a while.
Sure enough, the bullet flew for a while and still had the effect.
Su Bei stepped forward and took the ball to challenge Ginobili. After three threats, he took a step and broke through with the ball.
"Ginobili was fighting and retreating but couldn't withstand it. Diaw came over to help defend against the attack.
Hey, Su Bei didn't cum, but went up to the man and chased Dio to hit him.
Seeing that Su Bei was about to break through the zone defense, Diaw took action, and as if Su Bei had predicted Diaw's movements, he threw the basketball while being fouled..."
Beep——!
Swish——!
When the whistle sounded, Su Bei's shot also went into the basket.
"pretty!
Very nice 2 1!
Su Bei is very experienced in playing, and he is indeed a man who dares to say that he will bring his championship talent to the Thunder.
He copied his homework and copied the Spurs' tactics in person. This is very rude, but the effect is very good..."
Swish——!
Against the boos of the fans in the audience, Su Bei steadily scored the free throw and made it a three-pointer.
3 to 8!
The Thunder's scoring account is finally, finally open.
Although in the Spurs' subsequent offensive round, Diaw hit a three-pointer in response to Su Bei's 2+1 attack, the Thunder seemed to have found a direction to attack.
Next, Durant rushed into the formation with the ball, causing a foul on Duncan, and went to the free throw line and made two free throws.
Later, Westbrook made a sudden attack with the ball, which also caused a foul on Audi's thug. He also went to the free throw line and made two free throws, which also allowed Diaw to fight.
Diaw had already committed two fouls and was replaced by DeJuan Blair.
The game situation has become you destroy my paradise and I will break your wings.
