In addition to tacit understanding, the Spurs' hammer tactics also have a lot of engaging in the organization and scoring ability of the ball holder.

The Spurs' lineup is well matched, but in fact, there are only two people, Parker and Ginobili, who can really organize this tactic.

The remaining defenders, Neal and Mills, and Tang Tian, ​​are all three-pointers.

Joseph can break through, but the rookie is still lacking in quality, so Ginobili's injury still has a great impact on the Spurs' offense.

This is another reason why Popovich did not replace Parker.

The season has just begun, and Ginobili has an unknown injury. He cannot organize a season entirely by Parker alone. He needs someone to stand up.

Now that he is more than 20 points ahead, he is the best training opportunity, and Joseph is his first experimental subject.

"Pay attention to the position of the defender, don't rush to shoot the ball, do you hear it?"

Popovich shouted at Joseph, his attitude during the game would not be so friendly.

"Don't be nervous, their defense is bad."

When Tang Tian ran to the frontcourt, he also spoke to Joseph and encouraged him.

The Spurs' frontcourt offense continued AI's hammer tactics, but Joseph's pass was predicted by Paul, and it was directly a steal.

Paul made a layup in a fast break, and the Clippers continued to chase points, narrowing the gap to 22 points.

The Clippers meant to start a trend.

Popovich stood up and motioned for Mills to get up and replaced Joseph with him.

Mills is a third-year student, but the pick is very low. Last season, the Trail Blazers had no ball to play. In addition, he suffered from the offseason injury, so Popovich was completely trying one by one when he was on the sidelines.

The Spurs' offense, Mills' organization, a Zip Hammer.

His breakthrough speed was very fast. After rushing to the basket to attract double teams, he successfully divided the ball to the bottom corner Leonard.

Unfortunately, Leonard failed to hit a three-pointer with an open space.

After being chased continuously, the mentality of the Spurs players will inevitably fluctuate.

Looking back, Paul continued to organize, the Spurs' defense was done well, and the Clippers had no chances in other points.

After seeing this, Paul directly chose Qiang Tummires.

Mills tried to steal, but Paul dangled past him. Paul blocked Mills into the penalty area with his hips and hit the board with Blair.

The Clippers chased 8 points in a row, narrowing the gap to 20 points.

"Don't steal, Paul's dribble is the most stable." Tang Tian reminded Mills at this time.

Popovich also called Duncan and prepared to let him replace Bonner.

In the Spurs' offense, Mills continued to organize the Zip Hammer. After seeing the Clippers not shrinking the double-team, he made a layup before Evans returned to defense.

The Spurs bench cheered, and this scoring drought was finally broken.

Popovich's expression improved a little at this time, and Mills was considered an unexpected surprise.

Mills' goal has greatly improved the morale of the Spurs, and the players' strength on the defensive end has also increased.

Even Bonner did a great job of going around Griffin. Paul couldn't score the goal, and he once again took Mills alone.

Mills did not steal this time after listening to Tang Tian’s suggestion. His speed was no worse than Paul. Paul did not break in continuously and directly called Evans’ pick-and-roll.

Evans was big, Mills was blocked without robbing the position in advance, and Paul stepped back and stepped forward again.

Still a score difference of 20 points.

The game did not enter the dead ball, and Duncan sat in front of the technical stand.

Tang Tian took the initiative to find Mills at this time: "Let's change your defense."

The Clippers have a double point guard lineup on the field, and Mills defends Paul or Billups against each other.

Mills nodded gratefully.

Although he made some achievements on the offensive end, he was beaten by Paul on the defensive end, and Popovich saw all these things.

No one thought that his weaknesses were exposed to the head coach, Tang Tian helped him.

Tang Tian also knew that Popovich was watching on the sidelines, but he felt that this was an opportunity.

If he can put defensive pressure on Paul, he will definitely get more playing time.

Moreover, he also wanted to try his current defensive limits and see how much his defense has improved throughout the offseason.

The system's values ​​are very digital, and only practical operations can explain the problem.

The Spurs' offense, Mills' breakthrough layup failed, and Evansca took Blair's defensive rebound.

Paul held the ball to the frontcourt again, and there was a burst of cheers from the fans at the scene.

At this time, the score difference on the court is 20. If the Clippers can still score this goal, the score difference will break into 20 points.

This is a very critical round for both sides, whether in terms of morale or score difference.

Paul saw the defender in front of him change from Mills to Tang Tian, ​​and when he saw Tang Tian's serious expression, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He rarely sees players taking the initiative to switch to defense of themselves. It seems that Tang Tian is very confident in his defense.

He reached out and signaled his teammates to pull it away, and drove the ball to prepare for singles.

Saying things like "Welcome to the NBA" to the rookie is not something he likes to do, but if his opponent wants to challenge him, he doesn't mind going back and forth.

Continuous dribbling with left and right hands alternately, Paul's man-ball combination is done well, you can't tell when he will start.

Tang Tian took the initiative to make a move back at this time, and he knew that Paul's three-point shot was not very accurate at this time.

Compared to shooting, Paul's breakthrough and mid-range are conventional weapons.

Understanding the opponent can make the defense more targeted. Tang Tian conceded a step and focused his entire body on Paul's dribble, and his entire focus was ready to adjust at any time.

Paul is the league's top point guard now, and Tang Tian's defensive investment at this time is also the most extreme.

Paul started, a right-hand breakthrough, and then directly changed Sam Gordon with his left hand.

Before his knee injury, Paul's style of play was a bit like Ross, with all kinds of hard rushes, but after he was injured, he began to move on to the technical flow, and this change of direction frequency and rhythm was almost perfect.

However, Tang Tian followed, and the step he took gave him more time to adjust his position.

Paul's change of direction did not win himself the chance to go out in or in the middle distance as usual.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but the dribble did not stop, and a body on the spot changed direction and accelerated suddenly and continued to rush forward.

This time, because of the close distance, Tang Tian obviously couldn't keep up.

Paul was too fast. He rushed into the basket, rushed up and fought against Blair in the air. He pushed Blair away with a small move with his left hand to create enough air for himself, and used the air to pull the rod in the air with both hands.

Blair's cover is out of reach.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and Paul was going to succeed in one match!

However, before the cheers could be fully raised, a figure suddenly flew up from behind Paul.

"Bang!"
Chapter completed!
