0733 Guessed the end but did not guess the beginning

There were only two and a half points left in the first quarter.

The most important task of the King is not to let the Spurs take the lead. Grant, who has better defense, should be arranged to make a appearance.

But Su Yang chose to believe in his intuition and believe that Green's spirit of fighting at any time would better control the scene.

Hearing Su Yang's shout, Green took off his coat and walked towards the technical stage, turned to the field and stood at the power forward position, and the game continued.

The Spurs replaced Danny Green with George Hill, playing with Mills in a double point guard combination. The defense was relatively poor, but the control was better. However, Leonard was replaced by Kyle Anderson, and Ad was replaced by Gasol, losing his absolute strength.

After several rounds in a row, the Spurs finally broke the scoring drought.

But only two points, but the defense is much stronger than expected, and it actually prevents the King from getting a point.

Su Yang was stunned when he saw this and thought that Antetokounmpo was injured and failed to play the first quarter. The King was still in the embarrassment of being unable to score in the rotation stage. It was like re-compiling the code. The function finally worked normally, but afterwards he found that no real bug was found.

Fortunately, Ross and Green took the lead in supporting the defense, and did not allow the Spurs to score more points, and were not hit with the previous wave of the wave.

On the live broadcast seat, Van Gundy looked disappointed: "Giannis' injury is heartbreaking, but I must point out that the Spurs' rotation cannot seize the opportunity. They still use relatively conservative strategies and do not seem to be worried about falling behind a lot of points."

Jackson sighed: "The Spurs had many bold moves a few years ago, such as the 2014 Finals, and suddenly changed Dior to be the starting power forward. Four years have passed, and there has never been any similar attempts. Every coach will grow old."

With the conversation, the game was nine and a half points left in the second quarter. The Spurs asked for a timeout and replaced George Hill with Leonard.

Danny Green, Gasol and Ad also returned to the field, and the Spurs re-energized their starting lineup and prepared to do something big.

Su Yang arranged Curry to play at the same time, and at the same time, he brought Nans to the field, and then Green to the small forward, Tatum to the shooting guard, and he made every effort to increase his average height. On the one hand, he stopped Leonard, who had already been in a crazy position in the hedge against the basket, and on the other hand, he was convenient to ensure rebounds.

Cheers were everywhere in the stadium and the game continued.

At this time, the Kings led the Spurs 25-13.

After the Spurs scored in double digits, it didn't look that eye-catching, and the morale of fans and players showed signs of a resurgence.

The referee blew the whistle to the ball, and the Kings kicked off at the bottom line of the backcourt.

As usual, the horn formation started, but this time Leonard led the defense. Curry used the cover to hit the free throw line and failed to get rid of the entanglement in time. There was also Ade in front of him to assist in defense. He did not dare to force himself in a hurry, but instead threw the ball to Nansi, who was standing on the left corner.

Xiao Nansi took the ball at a free spot, took the opportunity to rush hard, and entered the paint area with three big steps, and forced a throw-in against the defense.

The offensive skills were deviated after all. The basketball rebounded with a slam and cheers broke out in the stadium. However, in the chaos, the basketball flew out of the baseline under the force, and the referee blew the whistle and awarded the Kings the ball in the frontcourt. Su Yang immediately stood up and arranged a loop tactic, intending to use the defensive strategy of the Spurs who deliberately emptyed the mid- and long-distance shooting of Nans and Lopez, and it would be best to grab a two-pointer.

When the king and the generals got the order, they immediately formed a formation.

The referee timed the ball with a whistle. Curry started the free throw line on the right, and used the cover of Nans and Lopez to go straight to the left bottom corner. Nans made the cover and turned around and cut inside to create a threat to rush to the basket. Tatum also arrived at the right bottom corner to involve the defense.

For a moment, the Spurs naturally chose to let go of the lowest threat Lopez, and Gasol moved horizontally to delay Curry.

Seeing this, Green threw the ball towards the free throw line. Daluo took the ball and made a move, and two points went into the net hollow, as if he was training normally.

The King finally broke the nearly five-minute scoring drought.

In the live broadcast seat, Van Gundy clapped his hands gently, showing an admiration: "The Kings' tactical qualities are so good, and the execution is very strong, and Su Yang's on-site arrangement is also first-class. When he saw that the Spurs chose to let go of JR Larry Nance in the last round, he immediately instructed the running tactics around the big man. The running position was not very complicated. The core was that the shooter's running side involves space, and at the same time played the advantage of JR Larry Nance to rush to create the best shooting environment for Lopez. That tactic perfectly fits their lineup, perfectly plays the characteristics of each player, and perfectly utilizes the Spurs' defensive strategy. I rarely have such moments in my personal coaching career. To be honest, I officially served as a coach at the age of 23, which can be considered a young fame, but I envy Su Yang. He did better in all aspects."

Jackson laughed: "Su Yang failed to completely solve the problem of difficulty in scoring in the rotation stage. It may be because there is no Brogdon, but that is enough to show that he is just an extremely outstanding coach, not an omniscient and omnipotent coach, so don't be too sad."

While talking and laughing, Leonard broke through and encountered double teams, Gasol failed to catch the ball, and the Kings grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack.

Jeff Green dribbled the ball to the center line and made a move to pass Curry, but in fact he entered the paint area and carried Danny Green to make a basket, successfully causing the foul of the fighter. The referee blew the whistle and gave two free throws, and booed the ball in the center of the Att.

Home fans have always been good at getting cheap and being good at it.

Taking advantage of the free throw line, Su Yang called Curry to the sidelines and instructed him to play in the inside line next until the Spurs adjust their strategy.

Curry nodded and returned to the court. Jeff Green made all two free throws, and the Kings led 29-13, reinvigorating the situation.

The two teams switched offensively.

The Spurs hit an iverson     hammer. Leonard received the ball and rushed to the basket from his right elbow to attract double-teams. He passed Danny Green in the left corner for a long time, but I don’t know if it was not a good match or a good match. The basketball almost went out of bounds and hurriedly shot and smashed the basket and hit the iron.

Nans grabbed the rebound, Curry took the ball and pushed the counterattack, started with a 14flat tactic, and the breakthrough attracted the attention of the defensive, and turned to the ground to pass the ball in his pocket. Daluo received the basketball and hugged it in his hand and took two steps in a row, and forced Gasol to score steadily with two points.

“Take    off     gasol!”

Suddenly, a shout rang out on the sidelines. A bald fat fat fist angrily, calling Gasol too soft and asking for a replacement as soon as possible.

Many viewers subconsciously turned their heads to see when they heard the sound. The sidelines became quite embarrassing, and the security personnel rushed forward to stop them.

The Spurs hurriedly launched a counterattack. Parker broke through with Gasol's cover at the top of the arc. Taking advantage of the slow pace of Curry's rushing through the cover to catch up, he immediately jumped up and scored two points. The choice was very different from before, and he was obviously a little anxious. After all, it was almost 20 points.

The basketball went into the net in a hollow, and the Spurs chased after 15 to 31, which was considered a forced breath, and the fans cheered.

The King of Changes Attacked.

Curry was also looking for pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. Facing Leonard's cover, he also stopped and jumped out, but he slammed the iron.

But the basketball rebounded and flew straight to the three-point line. Daluo took the lead and grabbed the offensive rebound. He passed it to Tatum who rushed over quickly. Tatum took the ball and replaced Leonard with defense. He still operated confidently, but stopped dribbling and directly pulled up and shot.

The basketball went into the net with a hollow hole, 33 to 15.

The Kings lead and approached 20 points.

Turning around the Spurs' attack, Leonard made a three-pointer, the Kings got the rebound, Curry's long pass was intercepted by Danny Green, but the Spurs made a reverse fast break, and Ade scored two mid-range shots and went out, and between them, and for several rounds, neither team could score.

Su Yang was not in a hurry at all. He was 18 points ahead anyway, and the advantage was that I just had to wait for Popovich to take the initiative to change the formation.

After playing for a few more rounds, the Spurs struggled to score 4 points, but the Kings scored 5 points, which seemed even more dazzling 19 to 38.

Maybe he couldn't stand it anymore, Popovich asked for a timeout and replaced Danny Green with Ginobili and chose to bet.

Su Yang felt that the opportunity had come, so he instructed the whole team to change from the main inside to the outside, and he had to use Ginobili to defend. He also removed Jeff Green and Tatum, replaced Covington and Lavine, and told the two to just rush hard and make a foul.

The whistle sounded at the end of the pause and the game continued.

The Spurs kicked off the left side of the frontcourt, and there was no good way to run. Ginobili failed to pass it to Leonard, but instead passed it on to the left waistline. Adie received the ball and played against Nans. His body advantage was visible, but he finally jumped and failed to score.

The Kings got the rebound, Covington rushed for a few steps and passed the center line. Laven took the ball and rushed to the basket, jumped high and dunked Ginobili.

The basketball rebounded and failed to succeed, but the referee whistle sounded, and Ginobilik made a foul and made two free throws.

Att Center suddenly booed.

However, Laven made two free throws steadily, and the Kings scored a total of 40 points. After the game, he led the Spurs 21 points for the first time.

The Spurs quickly launched a counterattack.

The tactics stopped running, and simply kept pick-and-roll in high positions. The Kings did not give the pass chance, so Parker forced a mid-range shot.

Covington jumped high and got the rebound. Curry took the basketball and took it to the top of the arc. The 14flat formation connected to the back cover, and rushed into the paint area to attract Gasol to defend. Then he passed by the undefensive Lopez, who then dunked with both hands with a clang.

42 to 19, leading 23 points!

An atmosphere of despair suddenly filled the entire Att center.

The Spurs did not stop either. Parker led the center line and was about to call a pick-and-roll, but Leonard shouted rarely for the ball, and took the basketball and broke through again, which directly caused Covington to foul. He was obviously anxious and was a little angry. He even dunked the basket when the whistle sounded.

Two points were invalid and the Spurs re-activated.

Leonard, Parker and other hot guys who were directly assigned to the left waist were left to watch the single fight. Unfortunately, they tried and turned and pulled the ball and shook it. They failed to click Covington, so they could only jump out with the guard against the stick, and in exchange for a clanging iron.

The Kings got the rebound and pushed the counterattack. Curry passed the ball to Lavine and quickly hit the right wing of the frontcourt, successfully leading the Spurs' defensive attention. Lavine tacitly passed the ball back. Curry took the ball and stopped suddenly, ignoring Parker's interference, and raised his hand and scored a three-pointer.

The basketball is hollowed into the net.

45 to 19, the Kings lead by 26 points!

The atmosphere of despair became stronger. Some fans stood up and left the table early, while some fans covered their faces with their hands and looked down and did not dare to look at them again.

On the live broadcast seat, Van Gundy sighed slightly: "Now the Kings players and coaching staff can smile. The Spurs have been defeated from their spirit to their bodies. Unless a miracle occurs, the Kings will complete the first 0-3 reversal in NBA history.

I guess there will be many people accusing Popovich after the game. I guaranteed with my personality that he would do his best. The Spurs could win three games in a row at the beginning. In addition to Curry's absence, another important reason is that many Spurs players are in excellent condition, but as the series deepens, especially in the fifth game, the Kings survived. They were unable to regain their excellent condition due to their physical strength and spirit declines..."

"well…"

Jackson also sighed: "I guessed before the game that the King would win in the end, but I didn't expect that this would start..."
