Chapter 394 Synergy and Execution
In the locker room.

For the upcoming game, Popovich and McHale are making final arrangements.

Especially the Rockets here.

Because he lost the game in the second game, McHale tried to remind the players to pay attention to something without stepping on the thunder.

after.

The players from both sides got together in size.

The Spurs are the "horse coach" Ginobili, and the Rockets are James Harden.

For this kind of thing, Qin Tao is not very interested. Some things don't need to be talked about, but it is good to mobilize the cohesion of players.

at last.

The arrival of the staff pulled their brakes, and the players left the locker room one after another, yelling and jogging away.

Running out of the tunnel, the Spurs were greeted with frightening cheers.

Perhaps it is because the construction of the ATT arena is very particular, and the cheers and momentum of the fans seem very oppressive.

Entering the player's bench, the players of the two teams began to undress one after another.

Then walked to the court, the pre-match warm-up began first.

Next.

After a gorgeous appearance ceremony, the players of the two teams walked off the field one after another.

I said it earlier.

The bald referee Crawford and the others seem to like law enforcement in the West very much, and he will lead the team in this series.

After signaling to the technical stage, the main players of the two teams walked to the field one after another.

But when the players of the two teams appeared on the big screen, there were bursts of exclamations in the arena.

"This..." David Robinson and George Gervin both looked at the court in bewilderment.

Qin Tao, who has been placed on the bench by McHale this season, has actually appeared in the main lineup now.

Could it be that they have given up the bench fight and changed to the main steel front?
Don't say it.

Such a sudden change even surprised Duncan and the others.

They looked at each other, and saw the seriousness on each other's faces.

have to say.

McHale's sudden change made them feel a lot of pressure.

From another perspective, the Rockets also let everyone see their determination.

Simultaneously.

The cameras of the cameramen in the stands also quickly switched to the Spurs coach's bench, locking the screen on Popovich, and everyone knew what it meant without asking.

However, Popovich's reaction was quite interesting, as if the old man was still there. If the game wasn't about to start, everyone would have thought the old man had fallen asleep.

The whistle sounded.

The main players of the two teams walked to the field one after another.

But this time it was no longer Asik and Diego Splitter who jumped the ball, but Qin Tao and Duncan.

Honestly.

In front of Qin Tao, even if Duncan was on top, there was almost no suspense in the final result.

The ball appeared in Jeremy Lin's hands, and he immediately advanced forward with the ball.

Judging from the way the Rockets played the first ball, they must play fast.

And the Spurs seemed to be prepared, and they followed up quickly when the Rockets moved.

Come to the front court.

The Rockets pass the ball very quickly, and one person does not stay for more than two seconds at all.

And Qin Tao and Harden, the core pair, did not ask for the ball to do it alone, but, like their teammates, began to run in their tactical positioning.

Harden here.

With Parsons and the others covering just right, he quickly got a shot after going around from the right bottom corner to the left.

Qin Tao also moved at this time.

He didn't stand and wait, but moved closer to Harden, putting pressure on the Spurs' defense.

really.

Because of his proximity, the Spurs focused more on him.

Such a judgment is the result of their quick consideration. In terms of aggressiveness, Qin Tao gave them more destructive power.

And the final result is also self-evident. Under Qin Tao's side "pulling the gun", Harden didn't say it was easy to shoot, but the shot was also very smooth.

The ball goes in.

Harden's touch is very good, and he hit a three-pointer on the first shot.

He and Qin Tao clapped hands to celebrate when they returned to defense. From their self-evident stares, it seemed that the two had communicated before the game.

It's the Spurs' turn to attack.

They still played according to their own rhythm, trying to suppress the speed, forcing the Rockets to enter a positional battle with them.

Thus.

The styles of the two teams are clearly presented in the eyes of everyone, even fans who don't understand football can see the difference right now.

And the tactical execution of the Spurs here is also beyond some people's expectations.

They didn't fight the twin towers tactics, but they fought step by step according to the basic operations of positional warfare.

Over time.

The Rockets, who had just been marking, suddenly started a physical confrontation.

In this level of competition, it seems that confrontation is more likely to get a chance.

However, the Spurs' tactics are very spiritual. Once the outside players run, and the inside puts up a screen or a pick-and-roll, the Rockets' confrontation and pressing have some problems.

all in all.

They still relied too much on their bodies and enthusiasm. After some operations, Duncan got a shot at a high position.

The ball goes in.

The signature goal of wiping the board won a lot of cheers.

But before the fans could mobilize their emotions, the rapid advancement of the Rockets made them temporarily shut up.

run.

Whether it's Harden, Qin Tao, or even Asik inside, they are all moving non-stop.

They stayed around the entire half, forcing the Spurs' defense to be stretched.

Sudden.

Qin Tao and Harden made a pick-and-roll on the high post on the right, strictly forcing the Spurs to rotate defensively.

Facing the aged No. 21 rookie, Harden's breakthrough was very sharp.

But when all the Spurs players thought that Harden would attack and the defense quickly shrank to the penalty area, Qin Tao suddenly ran back, and Harden immediately passed the ball without looking at anyone.

catch the ball.

The moment Qin Tao received the ball, the Spurs' defense, which began to shrink, was obviously stagnant. At this point, Qin Tao chose to cut in without hesitation.

After hitting the ground.

Qin Tao turned on the charge mode with the ball, and the moment he stepped into the free throw line, his last step was to soar into the sky.

Boom! !
The explosive dunk was heard far away from the loudspeaker on the backboard, making the nearby fans' teeth grit inexplicably.

However, the Rockets, after such a coordinated effort, quickly returned to the backcourt without any unnecessary movements, driven by Qin Tao's head down and running.

Their choice made the three Spurs veterans secretly speechless.

The Rockets' synergy and execution really left them speechless.

When Popovich saw the performance of the Rockets, a light flashed in his eyes, as if he appreciated it very much.

The Rockets' choice seems a bit sudden, but their intention is very obvious, which is to force the Spurs to speed up in this way.

After all, when no one is marking and the whole court is leading the defense, human instinct will naturally increase speed.
