Chapter 536 New High Score 30+
"Bruce, defensive end, you let Battier go and double-team him." Finally, Popovich said to Bowen.
"Sir, what about Marbury's defense?" Bowen asked.
Popovich gritted his teeth and finally said, "Give up."
He doesn't know whether the change in tactics is good or bad, so let's fight first.
Not double-teaming the No. 1 assist defense means that the Suns will have more fast breaks and score more.
At the same time, Duncan is not under the basket, and the rebound will be out of control.
In short, stopping the No. 1 tactics and ending Duncan's basket tactics will not change the unfavorable situation, and the damage may be even greater.
The timeout ends, the game returns, and the Spurs serve from the sideline.
"The Spurs have changed their tactics. Duncan also left the basket and returned to the low post. He is asking for the ball." Yu Jia shouted.
"Nazir, use all your abilities!" Popovich yelled loudly when Duncan asked for the ball on the sidelines.
Li Ba has reached the basket, and Nazr is desperately pestering him.
Offensive cover, this is Nazr's only task, and Li Ba is not allowed to help defend Duncan.
At the top of the arc, Parker moved quickly to the right wing, throwing the ball to Duncan after half a step away from Marbury.
At this moment, Li Ba rushed towards Duncan who was in the low position on the right wing.
Nazr next to him hung directly on his body, he made a sudden struggle and threw Nazr off, at this time Duncan had already got the ball.
Duncan claims to have great basic skills, and his playing board is the assembly line.
He caught the ball with his left hand, swung his right hand back, and while blocking Marion, took a step back with his right foot, then turned right, stepped into the paint area with his left foot, and jumped up.
"Hit the board at 45 degrees? You hit it!" Zhang Lili shouted.
"The Hammer's defense was a little slower. Nazr's offensive screen worked." Yu Jia explained.
Popovich breathed a sigh of relief.
"Nazir, good job."
While applauding, he shouted towards the field.
Sun attack.
Marbury found that no one was double-teaming him, and he immediately felt happy.
He immediately observed the situation and found that Nazr and Bowen double-teamed Li Ba early, while Battier was left open.
What else is there to consider? He threw the ball directly to Battier on the left-wing three-point line.
Battier caught the ball and aimed at the basket for at least two seconds. Parker, who was defending against him, was almost on his upper body before he jumped up and shot.
"Shua!"
Splashes appeared and a three-pointer was hit.
44:51, the Suns led by 7 points.
"Popovich chose to let Duncan return to Marion, double-team the Hammers in advance, and let Battier short. This tactical change is debatable." Zhang Lili said.
"Battier's open three-pointer is good. With this kind of complete emptying, the Spurs should lose points quickly." Yu Jia said.
On the sidelines, Popovich decided to suspend Bowen's double-team tactics. Battier felt good, so letting him shoot like this is not enough.
"Killing people requires a sharp knife!"
At this time, he regretted very much that he did not trade a better insider to come in, so that he could at least cut the hammer.
But now, if you want to cut it, you have no chance.
This can’t be helped. Now the traditional center tactics are starting to flourish again. Better insiders are expensive. The Spurs market is small, and the boss has no money.
Spurs attack.
Duncan asked for the ball again, and played again.
This time, the whistle blew, and Nazr was called for a screen foul. He was completely on Li Ba's body, and the referee couldn't stand it anymore.
This was Nazr's fourth offense, but Popovich did not replace him.
No one, no one, let's bear it first.
Sun attack.
Battier thought he would always be single, but was wrong, Bowen returned to his side, and he lived a happy two-person world again.
Under the basket, Li Ba carried Nazr and stood above the reasonable collision zone.
On the left and right wings, Duncan and Bowen made preparations to help defend the basket, and they were moving to the paint.
At this time Marbury passed the ball.
Li Ba arched his back, knocked Nazr back easily, and then exploded.
"boom!"
With an alley-oop and a one-handed dunk, he smashed the ball into the basket cleanly.
As for Nazr, he didn't have time to take off at all, and he also didn't have time to foul.
As for Duncan and Bowen's defense, it's still far away.
"Look, this is the ability of the hammer. He cooperates with Marbury's alley-oop. With Nazr's strength, it is almost impossible to kill him."
Zhang Lili said excitedly.
"Yes, there is really no way to cut the lob. Either let him dunk, or pull him down forcibly. But in this alliance, there are probably not many people who dare to pull him down directly." Yu Jia laughed.
"It doesn't seem like there was one time, right? Big Ben and O'Neill didn't do that. I remember that the hammer pulled Big Ben once and fell directly to the floor."
Zhang Li laughed.
"There is no way to cut the lob, and the hammer hits the basket. With his strength and top bullet speed, it is also not easy for Nazr to cut him." Yu Jia said.
"The Hammer took the ball 7 times in the first quarter, and Horry did his best to cut it 2 times. It can be seen that it is very difficult to cut the Hammer." Zhang Lili laughed.
Nazr blocked the foul, but Li Ba missed the free throw and the rebound was caught by Duncan.
The score was 44:53, with the Suns leading by 9 points.
Ginobili broke through on the left wing, made an emergency stop and rebounded, and hit a long-range two-pointer.
46:53, the Spurs trailed by 7 points.
In the next time, the Spurs were on the offensive end, the two guards took turns to shoot, and the inside relied on Duncan's low post.
But under the strict defense of the sun, the outside shooting rate is average.
As for the low attack, Duncan took another 5 shots, made two shots, was blocked by Marion, blocked by Li Ba and stole a goal.
The Spurs' offensive rebounds were completely controlled by Li Ba if Duncan didn't go to the basket.
On the defensive end, there was no good way for the Spurs to use Li Ba's basket. In the end, Popovich could only let Duncan stay on the edge of the paint and put Marion some distance away. Defense and defensive rebound control.
But this kind of defense, with Li Ba's offensive speed at the basket, is useless at all.
In general, the Spurs are very passive on both ends of the offense and defense, their rebounds are not guaranteed, the number of shots is behind the Suns, their outside shooting percentage cannot improve, and their scoring ability has weakened.
As for the Suns, although the outside shooting rate was not high due to the Spurs' defense, Li Ba made consecutive shots at the basket, not only making Nazr 6 fouls, but also Duncan 4 fouls.
57:72, the three quarters ended, and the Suns led by 15 points.
In the second quarter, Li Ba made 5 of 7 shots, 3 of 6 free throws, and scored 13 points. In the three quarters, he scored 26 points, 18 rebounds, 3 assists, 6 steals, 5 blocks, 1 turnover and 1 foul.
"Today the Hammers scored a new high. It is certain to score 30 points. It is really luxurious to be able to play 5*5 of 30+20 in the playoffs. It is not worse than a quadruple double."
Zhang Lili said excitedly.
"It can only be said that there is really no one inside the Spurs. Facing the sun, Duncan can't support the sky of the Spurs with a single tower." Yu Jia said.
"The Spurs mainly have no money, so they can't trade good inside players. Look at those guys, they are all veterans, who can carry the hammer? It is absolutely normal to be blown up by the hammer, and it is not normal if they can't be blown up." Zhang Reasonable Tucao Road.
