0783 Blood pressure is up
When he woke up at noon on the 17th, he ate some boiled beans and roasted beef. Su Yang notified the whole team to gather.
There was no training, but the focus was on studying some new routines in the Spurs' second game and preparing for the third game.
"In general, the Spurs don't have many new routines, mainly focusing on Paul's running without the ball, but they use them less actively, mainly because Danny Green is not like Manu Ginobili, who can carry the ball through the half and conduct subsequent transmission. The Spurs still focus on Paul holding the ball to attack, even if there is a no-ball running after transmission..."
In Su Yang's observation, Paul used some routines that Parker used to be commonly used, such as crossing the arc top of the ball across the half-time, then crossing the free throw line with the help of a cover, running to the other side to receive the pass, and then connecting to the pick-and-roll attack, which is a typical routine of Parker's period.
Of course Paul can play those routines, but unfortunately Danny Green is not Ginobili, and it is difficult to effectively hold the ball and launch an attack, resulting in the power of such routines automatically reduced by half. The Kings have been too familiar with each other for many years and it is difficult to be distracted.
Once Paul gets the ball again and starts the pick-and-roll, the Kings can rush to delay the weak side rotation, forcing the Spurs to pass more and take more shots, and the shooting rate will drop accordingly. The Spurs will have to return to the vicious cycle of superstars fighting to find the rhythm.
"Tonight's game, we need to show 120% of our momentum, take advantage of the Spurs' short rotation to rest for a day, and they have not fully recovered their spirit and physical strength. Even if they are called for some fouls, it is also said that the Spurs will definitely suffer losses at home..."
After Su Yang said that, Antetokounmpo, Curry and others nodded in agreement.
The Spurs were reversed in one game and suffered a crushing defeat, and their energy and physical strength were severely consumed. In addition, Ade, Paul, Guy, Gasol and others were all veterans. It was very difficult to recover in one day, and it was a good opportunity to defeat the Spurs.
The king is also tired, but the winning streak is younger overall. You can grit your teeth and fight. If you win, you will lay the foundation.
"It was decided so happily!"
Su Yang clapped his hands and signaled that the whole team turned to the training ground that had been rented in advance, and the shooting was kept feeling, and there was no intensity training.
In the evening, the whole team watched the Eastern Conference Finals in the hotel. The Celtics were tyrannical and violent, and they also led 2-0, with a clear form.
"If we play against the Celtics in the finals, that would be very interesting. I want to see Coach Su Yang and Coach Stevens discuss tactics, especially in terms of using Thomas. There will definitely be a press conference asking about the difference between Thomas and the two coaches..."
Cousins said with an expectant expression on his face. Curry and others subconsciously looked at Su Yang, waiting for him to give a reply.
Su Yang shrugged slightly: "What tactics are you playing? Our lineup is crushing. We have a super center like you. If it is against Boston, you can beat them down by yourself. We just need to shout and cheer you up!"
Curry and others laughed loudly when they heard the sound, while Cousins looked thoughtful and nodded: "I think so too!"
Su Yang also laughed. It's not a joke. The team and playing style of Lu Kai are most afraid of super stars, and the king has three.
On the 18th the next day, the third game between the Kings and the Spurs in the playoffs in the Western Conference Finals started at the San Antonio Att Center.
The two teams did not make any changes in the lineup.
Amid cheers throughout the court, the Kings won the jump ball, Curry led the center line to launch the first attack, and the Spurs firmly executed double-teams. The basketball was passed several times and finally fell into the hands of Antetokounmpo, who was in the 45-degree open position on the left, and the three-pointer took off, but unfortunately it hit the iron.
Turning around to the Spurs' attack, Paul handed the ball to Guy in the backcourt, and rushed to 45 degrees on the left side of the frontcourt. With the help of Ade and Leonard's cover on both sides of the free throw line, he ran to the right and made a "Iverson cross-cut" running position. But halfway through, he suddenly gave up Leonard's cover, stopped suddenly and turned and rushed directly to the basket, and forced the "Iverson cross-cut" to run into an elevator door tactic.
Guy simultaneously passed the ball to Ade on his left elbow, and Ade made a quick hit and made a straight pass in the paint area, and Paul received the ball in a large open space.
Curry, who was responsible for chasing Paul, was completely blocked by Leonard and his teammate Tatum. He was about to lose track of the situation, so Brogden hurriedly contracted from the left corner to make up for defense, but Paul seemed to be ready, and passed the ball to Green in the open space.
The three-pointer suddenly took off and the iron was hit with a clang.
Seeing this, Su Yang curled his lips slightly and thought to himself: "This is Paul's off-ball tactic. It is indeed confusing, but he is too pursuing efficiency. He should have made a layup against Brogdon just now. He passed the ball, but he thought it was Westbrook's assist..."
While thinking, the King launched a counterattack. Antetokounmpo rushed forward and started three steps in the front court. He carried Ade and Leonard to join the ball, and forced the ball through the European side between the two, and forced the ball around the top to hit the board with his backhand, and scored two points in extreme extreme.
"Antetokounmpo scored this time compared to Paul's passing just now, although it took a lot of effort, the team's momentum was instantly played! Europe raised the ball around the top and forced it through the two of them to join the siege. It was too tm-burning, and it felt stronger than Curry's ultra-long three-pointer!"
In-court offense and defense transition, Paul dribbled the ball through the half, the Spurs started with five outside formation, and Ade over-received the ball at the top of the arc.
The basketball scored again to the right, Guy rushed with the ball, stopped with a quick stop at the right waist and turned around and shook his way to deceive Antetokounmpo, and scored a goal.
"Guy is suitable for this kind of single-handed fight. Popovich finally allowed him to play like that, which is much better than letting Guy run without the ball..."
The King of Changes attacked, and the five-for-one formation started. Facing the Spurs, they beat the Spurs with all their strength and partial double-teams, and then passed the basketball again to Cousins at the 45-degree three-point line on the left. Unfortunately, Cousins also made a three-pointer this time, and seemed to have forgotten Su Yang's previous arrangement.
"Raise, just throw a fuck!"
Su Yang thought that he nodded in agreement to rush more when he was in the meeting, but when he fell into the position and got a vacant position, the whole team was more inclined to invest.
During the offense and defense conversion on the field, Leonard rushed with the ball, attracting the Kings to join the siege, and then stopped quickly and threw the ball towards the top of the arc.
Ade received the ball in a large open space, faced Cousins back to defend and threw a three-pointer, and the basketball bounced back into the net.
Cheers broke out in the center of att.
Su Yang felt something was wrong at the first time. Ade's three-pointer may open up the Spurs' offensive feel.
Just as he was thinking, Curry rushed into the paint area and instinctively put the ball up and raised his hand. But Danny Green quickly looked and slapped the ball off the ball, and flew off the field to save the ball, helping Ade to catch the basketball at the bottom line, and the Spurs then launched a fast break counterattack.
More than 18,000 fans at the scene burst into shouts.
Guy took the pass from Paul in the middle, and the pig suddenly advanced and rushed to the frontcourt basket, causing Cousins to foul.
The cheers resounded through the stadium again and started to burn.
"Bad, broken!"
Su Yang frowned slightly, knowing that the Spurs' momentum was bursting. Should we pause and make a brief adjustment or wait for Curry and the others to respond? Both options have their pros and cons. They were about to make a choice, but when they saw Guy hit the free throw, they immediately decided to wait.
Cheers were heard all over the room again, and Guy made the second free throw.
The Kings took the ball and launched an attack at the bottom line. The pick-and-roll on the left side of the frontcourt, Curry misplaced against Ade, broke through and attracted the defense, and then passed the ball to the top of the arc. Cousins, who had dismantled the outside, received the ball, raised his hand and scored a three-pointer, and the basketball went into the net in a hollow.
Cheers suddenly erupted on the bench.
Su Yang curled his lips slightly, thinking that if he made such a firm three-point shot and had such a high shooting percentage, he would be fine if he didn't make a rush.
The game continued on the field, and Su Yang sat down to watch.
Spurs Paul made a three-pointer, Kings Antetokounmpo got the ball and was double-teamed, Cousins made a mistake in the inside pass, Spurs Leonard made a counterattack and dunked, Kings Curry was double-teamed, Cousin made a three-pointer, Spurs Ad and Paul quickly stepped down, tailed and made another three-pointer...
Between you and I, the king was behind 5-16, and Su Yang couldn't sit still, so he stood up and gestured at the referee, asking for a pause.
"tnnd, Ade, who had been struggling in the first two games, started in less than 5 minutes, with 6 points, 2 assists and 3 rebounds.
And we made 7 irons, four of which were made 3-pointers, three fouls, and four mistakes. Is it because Spurs air conditioner only blows their players?" Su Yang felt his blood pressure soaring, and the Kings started like this, which was a bit of a big deal.
Chapter completed!
