Chapter 569 The Spurs' Equalitarianism

But starting from the second quarter, the Spurs began to play egalitarianism. They shared the ball more on the offensive end, which was a bit like what Brad Stevens usually emphasized with his players, but there was another It's a little different. The Spurs' entire coordination doesn't have any core at all. They are all very smart players who can share the ball.

Tony Parker, Manu Giroubili, these two defenders have the inherent overall view of European players and very patient transmission ideas, and Thiago Split is also not on the field, the center on the field Turned into a 206cm Boris Dior.This is Tony Parker's French compatriot. He used to be able to play the three positions of the striker, but now with his weight gain, he can only appear in the center position, which is indeed a bit embarrassing.

However, his performance at the center position is unexpectedly good. He can rely on Jordan to use his dexterous hook or predict his own score, and he can also rely on his ability to attract double-teams to create for his teammates Opportunities are ubiquitous on the field, and as a center has become the fulcrum of the field, and after all teammates fall in love with passing, for the Spurs' egalitarianism, this style of play suddenly becomes easy.

The continuous pass gave Tony Parker a chance in the middle distance. When the ball just reached his hands, he was ready to take the shot, and scored directly and easily with a quick shot. This is not a three-pointer , he still has the stability of shooting from such a distance.

Of course, their style of play is not easy to defend on the defensive end, especially Boris Diaw is very difficult on the defensive end, because although the Clippers are a fast-paced team with fast passing , But they also have a characteristic, that is, their lineup is not small, except for Chris Paul, a 183cm point guard, all of their lineups look very tall.

Evan Fournier at 201cm, Anson at 206cm, Anthony Davis at 213cm and Jordan Jr. at 211cm, this lineup is very tall for any team in the league, but their speed is not enough Slow, you can also defend quickly. ,

The Spurs are very uncomfortable on the defensive end. The most uncomfortable thing is Boris Diaw, one of their fulcrums on the offensive end. He can be very flexible on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, only weight, height and wingspan are all off the line It is very uncomfortable on the defensive end. The Clippers will not always let Jordan play against Boris Diaw in a stupid way. Jordan is still very wise on the offensive end. He will not let himself just exist in a daze In one place, but using the run and the pick-and-roll to create offense for Anthony Davis.

This should have been a very good method. Anthony Davis played a good efficiency in the second quarter. The height and wingspan of the two insiders in the first quarter were sufficient. Anthony Davis in the first quarter has been unable to take advantage of his speed in the paint.

Staples fans think so too, is it right to attack?We, the Clippers, have never been afraid of anyone, but after half a quarter, the Clippers found something was wrong. The Spurs moved the ball so well, they played completely calmly, unless it was a fast offense and defense. Conversion, otherwise there is no shot before 15 seconds. Although their shot selection is very slow and extreme, it is undeniable that the opportunities are very good.

Moreover, in the second quarter, An Sheng was not on the court at the beginning. After playing the full first quarter, he is now resting off the court, which also makes the Spurs' transmission become extra smooth. Open space, this is nothing, the problem is that they grasp the opportunity of open space very well, they can always shoot the basketball very accurately, and they shot 70%+ shots at the beginning of the second quarter Rate.

The Clippers have no problem with their offense. The 55% field goal percentage should be very good in general, but under the horrible shooting percentage of the Spurs, the Clippers seem to be completely unable to parry.

Tony Parker's pass at the top of the arc went straight to the inside, and a pick-and-roll counter-run from Boris Diaw and Tim Duncan allowed him to receive the ball near the free throw line. This is his attacking area, this short and fat man The offense has a wide range and is equally threatening to catch the ball in this spot, again with Tim Duncan and Evan Fournier's double-teaming gives Danny Green a glimmer of opportunity, who catches the ball In an instant, he made a direct three-pointer and made a direct overtake.

"It's too bad. The Spurs' offense has been fully displayed in these few rounds. We must not just give up this game." The Clippers fans felt that this half of the game was simply feeding on the spot. Their defense Well, although the offense is now the league's first, but the defense is also the top five, but the current performance, let alone the top five, it will not be such a bad result if you replace the bottom 76ers in the league.

The Spurs' offense went smoothly. A 23:14 lead in the half quarter made it difficult for the Clippers to accept this fact. 14 points in the half quarter is actually not low. If they can score 14 points in each half quarter on average, the whole game That's 112 points, but the Spurs' offense is too buggy!Brad Stevens simply can't stand his team's poor performance on the defensive end.

"Defense! Tell me, why do you allow the opposite side to get so many open opportunities, and don't double-team the damn inside line on the opposite side, DeAndre, if you can't handle it, he said as soon as possible, I will replace Gorgui Come on! And Evan, don't double-team casually, you know, your biggest defensive task is beyond the three-point line. Finally, Ann! Better prepare and let them understand our determination in this game and our What is real defense! Than I forgot, you are still the biggest candidate for the best defensive player this time!"

After the timeout, even the big screen at the Staples Center fully showed Brad Stevens roaring at all the players for all fans to see.

"Brad became anxious. In the first half of this year, no matter how many points they were behind or how uncomfortable they were playing, he didn't feel any impatience. But now, because of the Spurs' 23 points in the half quarter, Brad lost his temper very rarely.” Bill Walton’s smile seemed unfriendly to the Clippers, as an explanation, he didn’t want to see the Clippers as the dominant team in the NBA. Very bad!

"Don't forget! Ann hasn't played yet. The reason why the Clippers can be the top defensive team in the league has a lot to do with Ann's existence! Ann is the kind of person who can change a team's defense, the Spurs The sharing of the ball is really good, I like it very much, but this works in front of other people, and it is the biggest problem in front of Ann!" Jason Van Gundy looked noncommittal, obviously not thinking that the Spurs can win in An Sheng After playing again, you can still take advantage of it.

"Hey, let's make a bet. I believe the Spurs will still perform well in the second half. How about 15 points? The shooting percentage in the first half is really too high. I don't think there is a problem with 15 points!"

"Of course! Bill, if you have this idea, I can bet with you, but I have to regret to tell you that when I was the coach of the Rockets, I played against this Spurs too much. It was just a coincidence. You are doomed!"
