Chapter 592 Evolution + Change of Strategy
It was the first time for Sun Jing to come to the AT&T Center Arena. The fans here were obviously not so polite to the visiting team. Some even cursed Ying Xiong and his teammates.She was a little worried, afraid that Ying Xiong would not perform well in this environment, and if he was overthrown by his opponent in the end, it would be too...

I don't know if he sensed Sun Jing's worry, Ying Xiong, who was preparing to play on the sidelines, cast a confident look at where they were sitting.

Sun Jing seemed to feel the strength in Ying Xiong's eyes, and instantly felt a lot more at ease in her heart, even she herself didn't understand why this happened.

Shao Ziqiang sat on the right side of Sun Jing. He looked at the court and said to Sun Jing: "Trust Ying Xiong, he is far more resistant to pressure than you think!"

Sun Jing turned her head to look at Shao Ziqiang, who was as if nothing had happened, in surprise, then came back to her senses, and took a deep breath. Although she was still a little uneasy, she was much better after all.

Song Bingning on Sun Jing's left couldn't stop for a moment.She likes the high-enough atmosphere of the scene very much.In her opinion, the NBA is called a basketball game, and the scene in the CBA is still not high enough.

Under the mobilization of the on-site DJ, the atmosphere of the entire AT&T Center Arena was instantly pushed to a climax.

The game started soon.The Spurs' game strategy today is to let Diaw and Duncan continue to attack in the low post as soon as the offensive end comes up.Their offense is not very rigid like a stalwart.But in singles, other teammates will quickly cut and run without the ball to mobilize the Raptors' defense and prevent the opponent from easily pinching the ball holder.Although Duncan and Diaw are not young, they both have good post-up offensive ability, and both have a reliable ability to control the ball.

The Raptors have responded. Their strategy is to use strong-side flanking and weak-side filling to limit the opponent's inside singles and let the ball go to Leonard and Parker, who are unstable in 3-pointers.For Danny Green, a sharpshooter, he resolutely adopts the method of sticking to the defense, and does not give the opportunity to easily open 3 points.

The strength of the Spurs is that they have excellent ability to move the ball.Their ability and awareness of moving the ball at multiple points and actively sharing the ball can be said to be the strongest in the league.Everyone is like a machine, creating a flank through strong points, getting opportunities, and passing the ball to open players.

In the previous game, Parker and Leonard, who had bad outside shooting skills, did not hesitate at all when they got open opportunities in this game, and they shot decisively and resolutely.What this attitude brings is a completely different shooting percentage from the previous game.

The Raptors' defensive strategy was punished by the opponent's continuous shooting from the outside. They quickly paused and abandoned this flanking strategy, allowing Duncan and Diaw to play one-on-one in the low post.

Bargnani's inside defensive ability is insufficient, so the Raptors coaching staff's coping strategy is not to let him guard Duncan.The first two games of the series were Splitter, who didn't have a great low-post attack ability, so it didn't cost the Raptors anything.But this game is Dior, and things are different again.It's true that Dior is only 203cm tall, but his big butt, coupled with his excellent projection and flexible feet, made it surprisingly easy for him to beat the 211cm tall Bargnani.On the other hand, when Duncan hit the 206cm Amir Johnson, he hit it high, almost pressing it.

On the defensive end, the Spurs' strategy is to allow Yingxiong to play one-on-one, but limit the inside; against the other players of the Raptors, let go of the 3-pointers of DeRozan and Amir Johnson, control the mid-range, against Jeremy Lin and Ba Niani, on the other hand, adopts follow-up tactics, does not stick closely, and does not fully release 3 points.Under this defensive strategy, Jeremy Lin and others who shot crazy in the last game, under the targeted and aggressive defense of the opponent, the feel of this game immediately returned to before liberation.

Leonard still couldn't restrain Ying Xiong one-on-one.Yingxiong's offensive area covers the entire half of the court. Except for the ultra-long 3-pointer, which is not his specialty, he has mastered almost all other offensive skills.In one-on-one situations, Paul George, one of the league's strongest single-defense masters, has proven unable to limit him in previous series.Although the current Leonard has great potential and rapid progress in single-defense ability, he still has some gaps with Paul George.

The Raptors quickly lost blood on the defensive end, and the outside line was blasted before being added. Combined, the point difference was quickly widened.Although Coach Casey was prepared in his heart, he knew that the opponent would rebound in this game, but he didn't expect that the opponent's state would be so good, and his own team would be so sluggish.The state of the two teams was simply reversed from the previous game, which was hard to imagine before the start of this game.

Ying Xiong knows that after leading 2:0 in the series, going to the away game to play G3 is the most difficult game in the entire series except for the tie-break.There is no other reason, it is because this game is a life-and-death battle for the opponent, and one side has a retreat, and will not fight to the death like the opponent.

The Raptors were in a bad situation. Coach Casey could only pause, remove the unfavorable DeRozan, and go to Gay; remove Bargnani, who was beaten by the opponent, and go to Along Gray.

The reason why the Raptors let Bargnani start, it is impossible not to know that he is a weakness on the defensive end, because of his tactical role on the offensive end.He can space the floor, he can attack with the ball occasionally, and he can play for teammates occasionally.But the other insiders, whether it is Alongre or Valanciunas, cannot do this.Originally, the team's outsiders DeRozan and Jeremy Lin were not players who were good at shooting. The team's biggest killer was outside breakthroughs, but once the inside players couldn't open up space, the efficiency of breakthroughs would be greatly reduced.In this regard, they are very similar to the Miami Heat.The only difference is that the Heat don't have their mid-range, but they also don't have as many off-ball shooters as the Heat.

In the second team of the two teams, the Raptors have no advantage here.Lowry's 2-point shooting, like Duan Yu's six-veined sword, is also timeless.After the opponent was able to empty the outside shots of the 3-point unstable players and limit the breakthrough and mid-range, they played extremely difficult, made more mistakes, and were hit by the opponent a lot.

In this case, the Raptors fell into a passive position, and the way to solve this problem is naturally for Ying Xiong to stand up.

Ying Xiong did not rest for too long during the quarter, and the situation of the game did not allow him to rest for a long time.He opened the hidden attribute in advance, and in the 5th form, he used his strongest game state to forcibly open the situation.

Coach Casey actually didn't want Ying Xiong to take over the game early in the first half, but in this case, if Ying Xiong didn't go all out, the team would be left behind by a big score.When the opponent is behind by a large score at home, and the opponent is such a cunning team, the result can be imagined.
