With Harden hitting a free throw, the first quarter was soon finished, and the Thunder led the Spurs by 11 points.

Su Yang made a brief summary and arranged Durant to rest after the court, allowing Ibaka to play as power forward again.

Regarding such a decision, assistant coach Snyder asked if he was wrong, because according to the previous rotation arrangement, he came on as a substitute in the early stage of the second quarter until the main player reappeared in the mid-term. The power forward position should be Collison.

Su Yang showed his own arrangements with his eyes, and then said: "In the next few minutes, we will implement tactics around James, and strive to take advantage of the Spurs' lineup disadvantage to further expand their lead. It is best to exceed 20 points and defeat the Spurs' will to resist!"

After Su Yang said that, he raised his right hand high, and the generals of Thunder moved closer to each other, pressed their hands together and shouted 123OKC in unison.

The sound of whistle sounded as the end of the inter-chamber pause followed, and the players of the two teams returned to the field and the game continued.

The Spurs' lineup has been greatly adjusted, with the five players being Hill, Ginobili, Blair, Bonner and McDyce.

According to the result of the jump ball at the beginning, the Thunder first launched an attack in the second quarter, and Harden received the ball in the backcourt and advanced.

Perhaps because he realized that the situation was not good, the Spurs fans shouted loudly to defend according to the rhythm of the DJ.

Harden signaled the five-outside formation to land in the middle line, and raised his hand to call the wing slot     Slip tactic, that is, the third and fourth positions continuously cover the 45-degree area, and then disassembled in advance, one ran to the left bottom corner and the other ran to the right bottom corner.

The purpose of this arrangement is to use Green's long-range shooting ability and Ibaka's mid-range shooting ability to form a shooting opportunity as fast as possible, and at the same time help Harden create one-on-one space. It's best to be misaligned, and it doesn't matter if it's a good position. It's hard for Hill to defend anyway.

Jordan at the top of the arc is responsible for pulling the space, while Matthews, who is the three-pointer on the left, is the same, so he starts with a five-for-one formation, which is to maximize the lineup characteristics. If Ibaka is replaced by Collison, he will lose a lot of the threat.

As the defensive shouts were heard throughout the field, Harden dribbled the ball and ran to 45 degrees on the right, and Green stepped forward to cover.

Blair hurriedly set off his posture to prepare for delays in defense, but Green turned around and ran back to the left half. Blair was worth turning around and chasing, and Ibaka immediately came up and set up a wall to block Hill, scaring Bonner so much that he hurriedly stepped forward to prepare for a replacement.

Unexpectedly, Ibaka was like a shy little girl, and she broke up the wall in one second and ran to the right bottom corner.

Hill hurriedly retreated and left space. It can be said that he had a lot of defensive literacy and was very tacit understanding.

Bonner turned around and chased towards the right bottom corner at a few seconds, blocking Hill's view.

Harden took the opportunity to break through, and rushed to the right elbow area like lightning. He slowed down and raised his butt slightly, actively stuck Hill's defensive space, magically staged a striking attack on the back of the face. While turning his big eyes to observe the surroundings, he leaned towards the basket with small steps.

Hill had difficulty exerting force to squeeze out space, so Blair had some shrinking to make up for defense, but he was worried that Green would receive the ball at the open position on the left bottom corner.

However, McDace hurriedly contracted from the free throw line and wanted to block the shot, but Harden saw this and directly picked up the basket with low hands.

Bang! The basketball rebounded and entered the net.

The defensive shouts all over the field came to an abrupt end.

Assistant coach Brian complained: "James's playing style is particularly like a veteran who has been fighting in the league for fifteen years..."

Su Yang smiled and nodded. Harden just played too smart and patiently, which was very different from his previous flying dunk image.

There were cheers in the stadium, and Hill dribbled the ball to the left side of the frontcourt to direct the transfer of strength and weakness.

Ginobili started on the left corner, rushed to 45 degrees and received Hill's pass and immediately returned. He ran past Harden in the form of ghost cover, rushed to the top of the arc, and then used Bonner's positioning cover to forcibly get rid of Matthews and stop at 45 degrees on the right.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

When Su Yang saw such a running position, he suddenly recalled the jokes that people in the imperial capital said that 20 dumplings tasted 4 levels.

"The Spurs' tactics are really good at starting. It's like our Thunder, which can be delayed in the five-in-one position at any time..."

While feeling, Bonner mentioned that he received Hill's pass from the top of the arc, turned around and threw it to Ginobili, followed the situation and then went straight to the right bottom corner. Ginobili received the ball and watched for a while, and with the help of McDace's secondary cover, he moved towards the top of the arc.

Jordan Jr. changed to prevent delays as usual, forming a front-and-back attack with Matthews who was chasing him, and Ginobili was forced to pass the ball.

The basketball flew straight to the right wing, and Bonner just ran from the bottom corner, and when he received the basketball, he raised his hand and was a three-pointer.

But Ibaka chased after him almost in an instant, and Bonner was limited by only six seconds left in the offensive time and forced a shot.

When! Basketball smashes the basket and hits the iron.

Jordan Jr. and McDyce jumped and fought for the same time. The basketball was forced to fly out of the bottom line, and the referee blew the whistle and punished the violation.

The Thunder got the right to the backcourt, and the audience booed in unison, and Popovich also shouted at the referee, trying to put pressure on him.

Su Yang stood up and applauded at the referee, feeling quite happy. The Spurs' tactics were essentially the back action derived from the wing pick-and-roll, but it was more complicated and hidden, as if they had eighteen folds of dumplings, or dumplings.

The offense and defense were changed, Harden called slot again     slip tactics, and the Thunder generals were each in their place.

Green and Ibaka ran to the right 45 degrees to cover it, and the situation was like repeated execution of an automated program.

But this time, Hill moved sideways ahead of schedule to prevent breakthroughs.

But Harden did not break through, but scored a three-pointer with the ball. After Hill moved sideways, he didn't have time to jump to interfere.

Swish! The basketball is hollow into the net.

The Thunder led by 16 points, and it took less than two minutes to play in the second quarter. Harden felt so hot that he exploded.

Su Yang brought the bench and the players applauded and cheered, and assistant coach Brian smiled and said, "The Spurs are finished! The Spurs cannot form any effective resistance! James is too strong for defensive reading, and the Spurs hardly cause any interference. He seems to be training!"

The ATT center heard cheers, Hill dribbled the ball across the center line, and Ginobili ran from the paint area to the receiving end with the cover.

A typical zipper tactic starts, but Hill did not insert the bottom line and transfer a large amount of time, but silently walked to the bottom corner and stood firm.

Ginobili often turns left when he takes the ball, uses Bonner's cover to face Ibaka in dislocation, takes the initiative to retreat and accumulate strength, and then burrows his head and accelerates his strong rush. He is like an angry bull, who doesn't know what to do, and plans to use brute force to solve the difficulties.

Ibaka was not panicked at all. While stepping sideways, he retreated while calling the bottom corner to assist in defense.

In the blink of an eye, Ginobili rushed to the left basket, but was surrounded by Ibaka, Green and Jordan Jr.

The basket was in chaos, Ginobili stopped suddenly and turned around, twisted his body and threw the ball towards the right elbow area.

McDace was not prepared and hurriedly stopped the catch. He bent down and grabbed it, and threw it in panic.

When! The basketball smashes the basket and hits the iron and falls.

Green received the rebound and threw it to Harden. The Thunder launched a counterattack. Su Yang reminded him to cover it early.

The Thunder generals still landed in the five-for-one formation, with Ibaka and Jordan Jr. at 45 degrees on the left, providing a ladder cover for Matthews.

Harden slowly ran across the middle circle, and took advantage of the oncoming Matthews cover to accelerate to the left.

Ginobili did not hesitate to switch to the counter-pressing force and even called Hill to double-team together, which was a little unreasonable.

Matthews took the opportunity to split the cross-cut and cut it to a 45-degree position on the right, while Harden passed the ball simultaneously, making it very open.

The ATT center suddenly burst into a nervous shout, but fortunately, Blair in the right bottom corner was dragging the large weight rotation to repair the defense.

But the defense is supplementary, and Green has no defense yet. Matthews raised his hand and threw the ball towards the bottom corner on the right.

With such a large-scale rapid transmission, the Spurs would no longer have time to rotate. Green steadily aimed the basket and made a three-pointer.

Dong! The basketball flips into the net.

The Thunder led by 19 points, Popovich stood up and asked for a pause, and the ATT center was filled with clouds.

In the TNT commentator's seat, Barkley stared at the contrasting scene between Su Yang and Popovich on the computer screen, and deliberately put away his smile and said, "Dear Coach Greg Popovich, times have changed, so find opportunities to strengthen in summer..."
