Chapter 205 The Crucial Victory

"Tim Duncan has started to exert his strength and tried to take over the game, but the situation on the field has not changed! The King still has the advantage in the score!"

"Kenny, defense, defense is the most important thing. When your team can't limit the opponent's offensive strength, the situation on the court is naturally difficult to recover, especially for a team like the Kings. , As long as there is no way to restrain Yan Hua, their tactical system can continue to operate effectively, and if they cannot restrain the opponent's attack, it is naturally impossible to talk about overtaking the score."

"Yeah, Yan Hua's strength is becoming more and more comprehensive. Not only are the offensive methods diverse, but the defense is also getting stronger and stronger. Maybe Tim Duncan, who is at his peak, can suppress Yan Hua on both ends of the offense and defense. , but Tim Duncan in his current state will definitely not be able to suppress Yan Hua."

After Yan Hua reappeared, Tim Duncan not only did not change his previous style of play, but also took the initiative to go to the basket to find Yan Hua, trying to defeat Yan Hua to achieve the goal of defeating the king, but the final result was not very good. Ideal, because although Yan Hua can't defend against Tim Duncan who is starting to play hard, the Spurs can't find a way to limit the King's tactics. Tim Duncan and Antonio McDyess' double-team is a little looser, Yan Hua They can seize the opportunity to score. Even if their double-teaming is airtight, Yan Hua can distribute the ball in time, and then use the outside rotation to find opportunities to score. After all, double-team defense will always miss people.

"Too tough, Tony Allen was too tough on Tony Parker."

After the situation on the court reached a stalemate, it was the king who was in the lead who made the first change. After Yan Hua's one-on-one was unable to restrain Tim Duncan who started to explode, Reggie Toyes did not blindly Double-teamed Tim Duncan, but let Tony Allen on the outside strengthen his defense against Tony Parker. He wanted to directly cut off the connection between the Spurs' inside and outside lines by blocking the Spurs' outside line. To achieve the purpose of limiting Tim Duncan.

If Tony Parker underestimated Tony Allen's defensive strength in the previous game and failed to adjust in time after being caught off guard by Tony Allen, then now, when Tony- After Allen started to press Tony Parker, Tony Allen was really in trouble. Under Tony Allen's almost crazy press, Tony Parker was obviously at a loss.

After Tony Allen's full-court pressure on Tony Parker took effect, John Salmons, Andres Nosinho, the other two kings on the field, also joined the pressure on the Spurs outside. During the press, although they will face the risk of being completely out of position if the press fails, the Kings players, Yan Hua and Serge Ibaka, who stand behind the two master defense masters, still have no hesitation in facing the Spurs. The outside players launched a crazy press.

The outside line is pressing, and the inside line Yan Hua and Serge Ibaka switch defenses, allowing Serge Ibaka to defend Tim Duncan. Under such circumstances, it is already difficult for the Spurs to The basketball was very comfortably handed over to Tim Duncan. After the connection between the inside and the outside line was cut off, the Spurs, which had just gained some counterattack momentum, were soon extinguished by the King's full-court pressing.

At the end of the halftime game, when the players of both sides began to leave the field, looking at the 54 to 41 score on the scoreboard, the momentum of the Spurs fans on the scene was inevitably a little low.

At the end of the halftime game, the Spurs led by 13 points. One of the Kings players who accompanied the team counted as one. Gee Toyes took a break from the second leader, the team's second scorer Kevin Martin, so when the Kings players on the field were off the field, all the Kings players on the sidelines were very excited and happy. Excited, the 13-point lead means that the Kings are getting closer and closer to victory in this crucial game.

Especially Yan Hua, when he left the court, his face was full of excitement. In the half game, he scored 19 points, 8 rebounds, 4 assists, and 2 blocks. On the scene, or in terms of statistics, Yan Hua has the upper hand. As long as the game continues according to the current momentum, the last Yan Hua terminator will disappear with the wind and become history.

Perhaps it was the pressing strategy against the Spurs outside in the second half of the second quarter, which gave Reggie Toyes a taste of the sweetness. After the intermission, the Kings sent all the main players. After the start of the third quarter, He launched a more crazy full-court press defense against the Spurs. Unlike the second half of the second quarter, which only pressed the outside line, this time it was a full-court press from the inside to the outside.

"If the Spurs can't find a tactic to restrain the King's full-court press, or adapt to the King's game rhythm, then it will be difficult for the Spurs to win today's game."

Seeing the Spurs in an increasingly difficult situation under the King's full-court press, Charles Barkley, who was on the sidelines, also began to worry about the Spurs, although the King's full-court press was impossible It's impossible to last a full game, or even use a quarter in the third quarter, but the Spurs can't find a strategy to break the full-court press, which means that as long as the Spurs get up, the Kings have Might use a full-court press to overwhelm the Spurs.

Of course, judging from the current situation, the Spurs can't wait until they get up again, and they may be overwhelmed by the King's full-court press.

While Charles Barkley was worried about the Spurs, Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines, became very embarrassed at the moment. In the previous game, the point difference between the two sides was reduced to about 5 points, and now, let alone shrinking the score, it is thankful that the king can stop the momentum of expanding the score.

"The Spurs are over." When the third quarter ended, the point difference between the two sides not only was not narrowed, but was also expanded to 18 points. The audience at the scene have already realized that in today's game, the Spurs have no chance of winning.
