Chapter 1494 12, temporarily leaving the desperate situation

The Clippers-Spurs series has moved to San Antonio.

The third match between the two sides has begun.

Losing two away games in a row made Lan Shengli determined to make a change.

And the first step in this change is to "change the formation."

Brewer, Butler and Kaman came to the starting lineup, replacing Billups, George and Jordan.

Such adjustments achieved immediate results after the start of the game.

Butler and Brewer, former Mavericks champion teammates, continue to maintain a very high degree of tacit understanding.

Butler gave Brewer the ball twice in a row, once helping the latter complete a wonderful alley-oop, and once a violent basket after a reverse run.

Popovich noticed that the situation was not good, and immediately called a timeout.

"Our current rhythm is right~, it is the rhythm we have been maintaining before~, very good~, please keep it going~!!"

During the pause here, Lan Shengli encouraged the players.

"The defense continues to defend 3-2, shrinking the inside as much as possible. Except for Danny Green, the opponent's outside three-point grasp is not so high~, so everyone will continue to keep it~!!, the offensive end is changed to Kaman In this regard, the inside line should be more important, and some inside screens should be done before the position, and strive to create a dislocation defense~!!"

Lan Shengli continued to arrange.

"Clang clang~!!"

After returning from the game, the Spurs still maintained a smooth offensive position. Danny Green got a chance on the outside, but a half-open shot came out.

As the most stable point on the outside of the Spurs, if Danny Green fails to make a shot, then the Spurs' offensive position will be a little anxious.

Love protected the rebound here, and the Clippers launched a counterattack.

According to Lan Shengli's previous arrangement, Brewer quickly went to the inside and made an off-ball screen for Kaman.

Kaman used this screen to not only get the space to receive the ball, but also formed a switch.

Danny Green carried Kaman behind him.

The ball quickly passed to Kaman's hands.

Kaman hit Danny Green directly on the back.

As an excellent perimeter defensive player, Danny Green is obviously a bit reluctant to prevent an inside player from hitting the basket.

Kaman's very resolute post-up singles, coupled with his solid footsteps~

"Swipe~!!"

It was a close-range hook hit with a half-turn.

6:0 already.

Lan Shengli's tactics have achieved results, and the effect of changing formations has continued.

Seeing this, Popovich was also ready to start making lineup adjustments in advance.

Ginobili and other players also came to the substitution area.

As the team's offensive and defensive regulator, Ginobili is the team's best helper whenever it encounters difficulties.

"Dum~!!!"

Taking advantage of an opportunity for a foul, Popovich began substitution adjustments.

But here Lan Shengli also has his countermeasures.

Harden, Brewer, and Butler were replaced.

Billups, George and Foye came to the court.

"It's understandable that Brewer and Butler's physical fitness needs to be evenly distributed, but why should Harden be replaced~!?, Harden basically didn't attack much before, and his physical fitness is no problem. Let Harden take the lead at this time." It’s good to play with the substitute ~, isn’t it~?!”

When Harper saw Lan Shengli's substitution and adjustment, he immediately questioned it.

"I think you should be aware of Harden's performance in the first two games~"

Lan Shengli responded here.

"Replacing Harden at this time is to give Harden the opportunity to continue to play in the later time~"

Lan Shengli responded immediately.

"In the first two games, the reason why the team lost was not only because of the opponent's changes, but also a very important reason, that is, Harden was restricted by the opponent~"

Lan Shengli continued to speak.

"To be precise, it was restricted by Ginobili~, because Ginobili is also a left-hander, and his technical characteristics are very similar to Harden, so Ginobili knows Harden very well, so he can use A more effective way to defend~ Under the defense of Ginobili, Harden's offensive efficiency is very low, with only a shooting rate of more than 20.00%. Therefore, letting Harden hide from Ginobili to play should be It's the right thing to do~"

Lan Shengli continued to analyze.

"It makes sense~ I just hope that Harden can find his status as soon as possible~"

Harper nodded, sighing.

The game is still going on.

After the two sides replaced the rotation players, the Clippers still took the initiative on the field.

"Swipe~!!"

"Swipe~!!"

Foye, who didn't get many chances to play in the first two games, hit two consecutive three-pointers.

"Dangdang~"

"Clang~"

However, the Spurs' outside offense here is a bit misfired.

The team's many outside shots came out of the iron, and it didn't feel like their own basket.

So this point difference was gradually opened up by the Clippers.

52: 45.

After halftime, the Clippers led by 7 points.

It was also the team's first halftime lead in this series.

"When we fell behind 0:2, many people said that we are finished, we have no chance, we have entered a desperate situation, because based on historical data, it is true, but what I want to let everyone know is, The series is not over yet. What we have to do now is not to think about how to win the series. It is about how to get out of this desperate situation. We played an excellent first half. I hope everyone can continue to maintain and win in the second half. Next game, let the series go back to Los Angeles~ Come on~!!"

In the locker room during the halftime break, Lan Shengli continued to encourage the players.

In the second half of the game, Lan Shengli's tactical arrangement and substitution adjustments were still more active.

In the case of playing at the wrong time with Ginobili, Harden's offensive efficiency is indeed higher.

"beep~"

"Da~, clang~, brush~!!"

The long-lost European step layup finally reappeared, and also caused a foul.

The Clippers have always maintained a close to double-digit lead.

"Swipe~!!!"

On the outside line of the Spurs, only Leonard has a good touch. Danny Green, Neal and others don't feel very good.

In the fourth quarter, even though the Spurs sent Parker, Ginobili, Danny Green, Leonard and Duncan to make a final impact, the Clippers had Billups and Bruce Ruhr, with Butler, they know how to stabilize the rhythm of the game.

With the stable performance of several veterans, they helped the Clippers keep the fruits of victory.

102:95, still a 7-point gap, the Clippers won Game [-] of the series.

The total score came to 1:2, and the Clippers were temporarily out of desperation.
