Pachulia will never say that he is not a tough defensive guy, but after all, he is not a guy like Laimbeer or Artest.

Although he still emphasizes that his action against Leonard last season was an accident, to be honest, it has put him under too much pressure for more than a year, and it has become a nightmare.

In today's society, public opinion can really kill people.

Therefore, when he faces Leonard again, he will always give in unconsciously, such as the rebound fight just now.

After Leonard grabbed the rebound and advanced upcourt with the ball, he threw the ball to Kyle Anderson.

And when Durant was frustrated by Kyle Anderson's unique and difficult-to-adapt rhythm on the offensive end, and now he was once again faced with Kyle Anderson on the defensive end, he actually felt a little impatient inside.

and impatient.

But his impatience and impatience were precisely understood by Kyle Anderson.

So, the next second, the ball went in and the whistle sounded.

Durant immediately rushed to the referee. He felt that he had been treated extremely unfairly. So, did this son of a bitch referee take money?

If Curry hadn't stopped Durant in time with his sharp eyesight and quick hands, perhaps the matter wouldn't have ended so simply.

On the other side, Kyle Anderson steadily put the basketball into the basket.

As the game continued, Durant, who was eager to regain his face on the offensive end, was indeed emotionally affected. His breakthrough layup was actually blocked by the aging Tony Parker.

For Durant, this series may be the most frustrating series in his entire career.

In the last game, Jiang Hao made a huge hit, and now he is blocked again by veteran Tony Parker. It is really difficult.

What makes Durant even more difficult to accept is that the consequence of his being blocked was that the damn Spurs No. 35 hit his first goal of the night, a very good three-pointer.

8:0!

It's hard to imagine that Popovich's personnel adjustments have achieved results so quickly.

So, what kind of personnel adjustment is this?

Steve Kerr thought he understood something, and he almost yelled at his former mentor for his wickedness.

However, on the court, before he could request a timeout, the Spurs' offense was successful again.

This time Rudy Gay, whose position originally overlapped with Leonard's, looked a little awkward no matter how he looked on the court.

However, under this very strange situation, he actually completed an impossible cooperation with Leonard.

Bang!

A domineering alley-oop.

When Gay jumped up with Pachulia under the basket, caught the basketball and slammed it into the basket, the center of ATAT was boiling.

Is this fucking okay?

Fans even expressed such emotion.

Cole, whose face was ashen, did not dare to show any slightness this time, and immediately requested a timeout.

During the timeout, fans near the Warriors bench heard one word from Cole's mouth more than once: don't be impatient.

Don't be impatient?

What does it mean?

Some senior fans quickly understood what was happening, and when they looked at Popovich on the other side, it finally dawned on them.

So the previous personnel adjustments made by Popovich were not out of anger? Rather, they were a conspiracy, or a kind of psychological warfare.

After the fans understood all this, they had to give a thumbs up to the veteran Popovich.

It turns out that all of this was carefully designed by him, and Kevin Durant's several impatient performances are the best explanation.

Obviously, Popovich has a vicious vision, and he took advantage of the Warriors players' impatience to quickly regain a victory when the total score was 0:2.

Let Kyle Anderson, who seems to have a completely different playing style from the other four teammates, come on and defend Durant, and let Rudy Gay use his excellent physical fitness and athletic ability to fight against Pachulia, who has almost no offensive ability.

, and then used Leonard's defensive gate to cut off Draymond Green, who is actually the Warriors' No. 2 support organizer after Stephen Curry.

The next thing is very simple. Although Tony Parker is at the end of his game, he is better because of his rich experience. When Klay Thompson does not have the ability to attack with the ball, it is not too difficult for him to face Klay Thompson.

To be honest, letting Jiang Hao deal with Curry is the most critical part of this tactical arrangement.

That is, Jiang Hao needs to restrict Curry from passing and breaking through as much as possible on the defensive end, preventing him from shooting outside the three-point line, and on the offensive end, attract as much defensive power as possible from the Warriors, including Curry, and then

Pass the ball out to other players.

The Golden State Warriors are the creators of the "Death Five", and even in the 14-15 season, they officially announced the rise of the Oracle Legion with this move.

Therefore, when Popovich suddenly put together a small lineup, the Warriors' carelessness and disapproval cost them in the end.

Although Steve Kerr has been emphasizing rebounding, as long as the rebounding is controlled, any conspiracy will have no effect.

I have to admit, Cole is right.

But he calculated everything, but still missed one calculation. He did not take into account Pachulia's strange mentality when facing Leonard.

Therefore, after the timeout, Iguodala replaced Zaza Pachulia, and Cole also put together a small lineup and asked Draymond Green to play center. Although it was not suitable, it was

But it is also the best tactic. At least Drummond will not be polite to Leonard.

Of course Popovich knew that his tactics were seen through by Cole, so after returning from the timeout, he also made personnel adjustments.

Aldridge returned to the court, and Parker on the back line became Ginobili.

This lineup finally looks much better than the one just now.

Popovich's expression looks very relaxed. With the lineup just now, the team has now taken the lead.

In this case, the game officially begins.

After Ginobili came on the court, Jiang Hao completely switched his position to the shooting guard position.

Because Ginobili's ability to organize offense is much better than him. Although this may be the Argentine's last season, to put it bluntly, he is still the omnipotent "demon knife".

Creativity is not much worse than peak Nash.

And when Jiang Hao moved into the scoring position and the player he partnered with in the backcourt was Ginobili, the eyes of all the Warriors players couldn't help but condense.

Because the destructive power of these two people on the offensive end is so terrible, it will definitely give them a headache.

At this time, in the opinion of some basketball experts, the Spurs' lineup on the court is even their strongest offensive lineup.

When Popovich calls Aldridge back, Draymond Green's position is destined to be further reduced.

In this case, the Warriors' offense seems to have to rely on Stephen Curry, because when Kevin Durant faces Leonard, as long as he can work hard to get rid of the defense, it is already a success.

In this case, let’s not talk about the Warriors’ offense for the moment, but what about the Spurs’ offense?

At the beginning of the game, Curry used Iguodala's high pick-and-roll to hit a two-pointer.

No matter what, Curry's shooting percentage tonight is still very high.

But then, when the ball came to the Spurs, many people saw a very exciting scene.

That was when the Warriors players were afraid of Ginobili's ghostly pass and hesitated to defend him. In the crowded arena, everyone witnessed the 39-year-old Argentine Eagle's flight.

That's right.

The Spurs' offense ended with Ginobili's effortless dunk.

Steve Kerr wanted to cry, he felt that his players' IQs were not online tonight.

Either he plays too impatiently or he suddenly doesn't know how to play anymore. This is the kind of tactical quality that a defending champion should possess.

Now that Manu Ginobili is on the court, treat him completely as an NBA player, instead of hesitating on the defensive end because of his age or fear of his playing style.

This is a big no-no for defenders.

Lao Yaodao's dunk completely ignited the passion in the ATAT center, and the fans responded with roars and tsunamis.

Even Shaquille O'Neal in the TNT live broadcast room had an incredulous expression at this time, because he thought this was too nonsense. Is it true that all Spurs products are monsters?

But one thing is certain, that is, the defending champion seems to be in trouble again in this game. Isn't the Argentinian's easy and comfortable dunks a satire on their defense?

"In addition to being an excellent shooter, Klay Thompson is also a good shooter. So far in this series, I really haven't seen him help the Warriors on the defensive end."

Shaquille O'Neal feels that Klay Thompson's downturn in this series has dragged down the entire team because coach Steve Kerr trusted Klay Thompson from beginning to end in this series.

"It is undeniable that Manu Ginobili is a very lethal guy, but physical strength and age are his biggest natural enemies. If Klay Thompson can put enough pressure on Manu on the defensive end, then such violence as just now will

If you don't pull the button, it won't happen." O'Neal further explained his conclusion.

"Man, I think your evaluation of Klay Thompson is too one-sided. I need to remind you that Klay is an excellent shooter, but he has never been a threatening ball-handling attacker. Stephen Curry cannot

When the ball is released, Clay's positioning on the court can only be like this, and on the defensive end, you can't let Clay spend too much energy, because Manu only played more than ten minutes, Gregg Popovich

Qi only hopes that Manu will burst out with all his energy in ten minutes. In this case, if Clay goes all out, will he be like Manu and end the game after ten minutes?" Kenny Smith
