Chapter 535 Tactical Confrontation
Midfielder back, game on, Spurs attack.
Duncan goes to the basket.
Marion didn't follow up, and he actually double-teamed Parker who was holding the ball at the top of the arc.
In this way, at the basket, Duncan and Nazr formed a two-on-one against Li Ba, but at the top of the arc, Marion and Marbury also formed a two-on-one against Parker.
On the sidelines, seeing this scene, Popovich felt a little nervous.
"Ouch, the Suns have responded to the Spurs' No. 1 tactics." Zhang Lili shouted immediately.
"It's a bit late, but it's finally here." Yu Jia said.
"Duncan was released directly, but Duncan was under the basket, and the hammer 1-2, he was not afraid!" Zhang Lili said.
"The sun completely believes in the defensive ability of the hammer!" Yu Jia said happily.
"The ball was lost!" Zhang Lili suddenly shouted at this moment.
On the field, under double-teaming, Marbury steals Parker.
"Yeah, two horses get off... Manu Ginobili gets tangled up by Posey... Bowen gets tangled up by Battier... Two horses make a 2v1 on Parker... Winner pass... Tomahawk The dunk ... he blasted the Spurs to the rim."
The sun commentator roared hoarsely.
"Beautiful! Look, Duncan went into the basket and the consequences came out. The Suns directly let the Hammers pick two at the basket, leaving Marion free. What should Popovich do now? Let Duncan come out? But as soon as he came out , the Spurs will completely lose control of the rebound and lose!"
Zhang Lili shouted excitedly.
"Mr. Zhang, what if Duncan is allowed to play under the basket?" Yu Jia asked.
"The Suns now have an extra Marion, who directly double-teams the ball holder. Duncan can only play if he can get the ball. If he can't get the ball, there is no way to talk about two-player at the basket." Zhang Lili laughed.
"That's right, the Suns also launched a No. 1 strategy against the Spurs." Yu Jia laughed.
"It should be more than the first position. Ginobili can also organize the offense. He must be one of the targets of Marion's double-team. But the Spurs still have an advantage, as long as Parker passes to Ginobili before the double-team. It's ok." Zhang Li said.
"Tony, move the ball quickly, do you hear me?" Popovich yelled at Parker on the sidelines.
"Stephen, Sean, half-time press."
Under the basket, seeing Duncan coming in again, Li Ba yelled at Marbury and Marion, and at the same time raised his right hand, grabbed the ball hard at Parker, and made a pinch gesture .
Hearing this, Marbury quickly pounced on Parker who had just passed the center line, and Marion also pounced on it.
"Pass!" Popovich yelled.
At this time, Ginobili on the right-wing three-point line immediately withdrew outwards, and Parker made an emergency pass and passed it to the former.
Marion has remained in the position between the two, then immediately turned around and threw himself at Ginobili.
Ginobili received the ball, and Posey quickly stepped up behind him and got close to him. In this way, his pass to the basket was cut off, and Marion would arrive in the next second. What should we do?
At this time, Parker squeezed Marbury away, and while moving towards the top of the arc, he reached out to Ginobili for the ball.
Ginobili quickly passed the ball in the past.
At the basket, because the Spurs had no chance to pass the ball in, Li Ba suddenly lost Duncan and Nazr, moved below the free throw line, and prepared to defend.
Because he sees an opportunity, Ginobili is likely to pass the ball back to Parker, and Parker is near the top of the key, and there is a steal opportunity here.
Of course, there are opportunities and risks. Once the steal fails and Parker gets the ball, just throw it to the basket and the ball will be scored.
Seeing the ball coming, Parker greeted him with both hands, but at this moment, a big hand appeared in front of his hands, and with a snap, his ball was broken away.
"Yeah!!! The Hammers made a great steal, and he gave Ginobili a turnover."
The Suns commentator began to shout excitedly:
"Hammer pass...the winner catches the ball...Parker is blocked by the hammer...the winner layup? Yeah, he gave the hammer an assist."
42:46, the Suns led by 4 points at home.
"Wow, Iron Hammer played really well today, he dared to let Duncan and Nazr go, and defended them, what a coward!
Zhang Li laughed out loud.
"Today the Hammers have few assists, finally two, 5*5 is not easy." Yu Jia laughed.
"Tim, Nazr, what are you doing? Are you sleeping on the court? You two are one-on-one, and you actually let him have the opportunity to run out to help defend. What about your sense of responsibility? You are playing like shit!"
On the sidelines, Popovich was going crazy and scolded Duncan mercilessly.
The two of Duncan were sprayed with disgrace, somewhat embarrassed.
Spurs attack.
"Defense!"
Under the basket, Li Ba was roaring wantonly, inspiring the morale of the Suns.
"Defend! Defend..."
Under the roar of the Suns commentator, the audience was chanting this phrase.
Duncan and Nazr were on the verge of a formidable enemy. They were clearly the offensive side, but they acted like the defensive side. Wherever Li Ba moved, they followed.
"This is the ability of the Hammer on the defensive end. He doesn't have the strength to attract double-teams in advance on the offensive end, but he can actually attract double-teams in advance on the defensive end. One of them is Duncan, haha!"
Zhang Li used a proud tone and smiled happily.
Two steps before the top of the arc, Parker was double-teamed again.
Ginobili and Bowen came from both wings, but they also brought Battier and Posey.
In terms of single defense ability, Bowen may be able to compete with Battier and Posey, but Ginobili is not far behind.
The Spurs' defense is strong in zone defense, strong in collective, strong in attitude, strong in Duncan, not in single defense.
The Suns, not only have a strong zone defense, but also have a strong single defense ability in several positions.
When Posey, Battier, Marion, and Marbury get together, the results speak for themselves.
"Steal, Posey got the ball! The winner is going down...Posey passes the ball...Yeah, Marion dunks!"
The Suns commentator was roaring wantonly.
There were constant cheers in the American West Arena, and the morale continued to rise.
42:48, the Suns led by 6 points.
After losing three goals in a row, Popovich called a timeout.
He looked at Duncan, who was panting.
In fact, Duncan's physical energy consumption is not too great, but his psychological pressure is very high.
His tactical role was resolved by the Suns' tactics. Not only did he do nothing at the basket, but he also failed to achieve his tactical role, which put a lot of pressure on him.
"Tim..." Popovich began, but hesitated.
Is it to let Duncan come out to play and give up rebounds? Or continue at the basket?
But he understood that Duncan's tactic of continuing to play at the basket had actually failed and could not continue.
"Come out, come out on the offensive end, get away from that big pest, and pull Marion back."
In the end, he decided that he couldn't let Marion double-team Parker and Ginobili, as that would hurt the Spurs even more.
"Defensive end, alas..." At this point, he sighed.
It's really annoying, if the defensive end lets Duncan and Marion, then the basket, can't be blown up by that big pest?
Even if Huo Li is allowed to go in, the slashing tactics are not going very smoothly, what should we do?
That guy gets up too fast and has the ability not to look at the ball. He is hard to defend against alley catches, and he gets up super fast in strong fights. What should I do?
