Chapter 775: [Can be seen, 1 wave]

Curry didn't care about being a substitute, Yang Rui had told him Paul would leave after the end of the season.
He made the ball this time in the playoffs, and will be in high position next season. Of course, Curry can see this. Moreover, the tactics arranged by Yang Rui are more suitable for his appetite.
Paul is a person who always finds cover, runs tactics, and seeks misplacement. He plays very well. Curry is not a reasonable point guard, he is more like a shooting guard in his bones.
Paul's ball control organization is still the same routine, looking for opportunities to pass the ball to teammates after the pick and roll. The Spurs began to cut Paul's passing path, keep the distance, put Paul in the cast, and let Parker chase.
The other positions are all single defense. The Clippers have the most powerful three-point firepower in the league. Popovich emphasized that he would rather let the Clippers play two points than let them open.
The Clippers' defensive strategy is the opposite, strictly guarding against Parker's breakthrough and relying on rotation on the periphery.
Both sides are mainly star singles, the offensive rhythm is slow, the scene is not very good, the offensive efficiency is not high, and the point difference is close. The difference is that Yang Rui's expression is relaxed on the sidelines, everything is under control, and Popovich's expression is very serious.
After playing with Yang Rui several times in the playoffs, Popovich knew very well that the Spurs won by the starter, the bench was defective, and the Clippers hadn't played.
The key is that Rudy Gay did not start today. In the regular season, Leonard's defense against Guy was more successful. Now looking at this situation, Yang Rui is going to wait for Leonard to rest and then send Guy to stagger them. Playing time.
If you send someone else to guard against Guy, you may not be able to prevent it. If you increase Leonard's playing time, the Spurs will definitely lose a lot in the last quarter. The Clippers rely on the depth of the lineup to bully people. Popovich has no way to crack, but can only fight hard.
The Spurs insisted on running tactics. They played very seriously every round. They tried to create good shooting opportunities. They also concentrated on defense. After the first quarter, the Clippers fell behind 22-22.
The defending Clippers have less than 20 points. The Spurs line is proud. McGrady is responsible for defending Korver. The task is easy, and it has not become a defensive loophole. Tracy McGrady also made a two-pointer that was quite satisfactory.
Griffin and Chandler, who scored the most with the Clippers, scored 8 points and 6 points respectively. The two hit the basket. One is Dior is not tall enough, and the other is trying to make Duncan foul.
In order to prevent the penalty area, Popovich sent Split in the second half. With the two towers on, the offensive end was more difficult to score.
In the second quarter, the Clippers Super Bench gangster lineup appeared. Curry, Battier, Guy, Parsons, Farid.
Five Spurs: Gary Neal, Ginobili, Fournier, Leonard, Matt Bonner.
Popovich let Leonard rest for 4 minutes in the first quarter, and now it is replaced. The swingman must be sent to fight the ball. If the big man in the 4th position, the main defense Guy or Leonard are misplaced.
The forward position is ready, but the Spurs also have weaknesses on the outside. Yang Rui arranged a tactic to grab a rebound and counterattack. No matter who attracted Leonard to defend, pass the pass to the forward to head the Fournier or Curry. Neil.
As in positional battles, Farid attracted defense from the low post and was ready to grab a rebound. The other three pulled away and Curry directly headed the middle.
Neal is 193 cm tall and weighs 95 kg. He is very strong and is not afraid of confrontation. However, he lacks the speed of defense and defense and can easily be passed. And he happened to be a defender who stepped out of the Clippers. Yang Rui knew his weakness.
Curry passed Neal in the first round and broke into the inside to attract Bonner to pass the defense and pass the ball to Farid, who easily made a layup. 21 to 22.
The Spurs attacked and handed the ball to Ginobili for the attack. Bonner gave Neil a side cover.
This is the routine that Yang Rui played for many years. It is no longer familiar. Battier is entangled with Ginobili and the flanks are guaranteed to change defenses so that Neal can't catch the ball and directly shoot.
To deal with the Spurs' second lineup, it is mainly necessary to prevent outside shots, and the swingman can guard the penalty area, because Bonner will not easily hit the basket under the air.
Don't look at Bonner's height of 208CM, weight 109 kg, standard inside figure, but his style of play is like a defender, he is always used to floating outside and shoots three-pointers in the same position as a catapult. One.
Unless Bonner is empty, he will never make a strong attack, nor will he play a foul free throw. The number of free throws he made in his life is Harden's number of seasons.
Ginobili is also uncomfortable when he meets Battier. Battier predicts accurately and rarely has been. He will always block his eyes in front of the opponent and interfere with the shot. It happens that Ginobili has a terrible shot this year, plus a breakthrough. The field goal percentage is less than 40%.
Fournier has the skills, can not play out, the quality of the rookie season is too poor, dare not play. After the ball is passed, it just acts as a conduction ball.
Leonard has been improving on the defensive end. The offensive end is still a blue collar who catches the ball. He also practiced on-ball offense in the team, but it is definitely not a good idea to let him hold the ball with a similar size of Guy.
Passing several times, and running out of 24 seconds, Neal forced a missed shot against Curry, Farid grabbed a rebound and immediately launched a counterattack.
Curry scored a goal for Guy, who attracted Leonard's defensive pass Parsons. The latter faced Fournier and had an advantage in height and weight. He forcibly missed a layup while carrying his opponent, but created a foul.
Parsons made two free throws, 23 to 22.
The Spurs attacked, and there was still no way to face the Clippers' contract. Ginobili rushed in and was caught and separated from the periphery. Fournier made a three-point shot and missed the basket. The rebound was grabbed by Farid.
The Clippers counterattacked and Curry dribbled himself to the frontcourt. After a quick stop on the left side, he stepped back to meet Neil. Neil pulled back too far, too late to take off, only reached out to interfere, the ball hollow into the net. 26 to 22.
The Spurs attacked, Neal got rid of Curry through cover~EbookFREE.me~ attracted Farid to defend and distributed the ball to Bonner. Bonner made a 70-degree jumper on the right side of his height advantage and missed under Curry's efforts to interfere. Guy withdrew without rebounds, jumped out with one hand, and Parsons picked up the rebound.
The Clippers counterattacked again, Parsons passed to Curry, Curry took the ball to the right of the three-point line, dribble the back to the left hand, lightly explore the left shoulder, attracted Neil to move laterally, crotch dribble He gave his right hand and took a three-point shot after taking a step back.
Neal eats and shakes, without jumping up the cover, the ball is hollow into the net. 29 to 22.
The Clippers hit a Spurs 10 to 0 at the start. Popovich was forced to call a timeout. He had to suppress the Clippers' fast offensive momentum, otherwise the wave might take away the game. In the regular season, this kind of thing happened.
What's worse is that the Spurs are short of No. 1, and Gary Neal doesn't make a guest appearance, so he has to be on the marginalist Corey Joseph.
With a height of 191CM and a weight of 88 kg, Joseph has a more active defense and a very bad offense. It is Popovich's star-studded rookie.
He averaged 13.9 minutes per game this season, scoring 4.5 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists. He shot 46.4% from the field and only 28.6% from the 3-point range. As long as he is on the court, the Clippers can use joint defense, shrinking into the vicinity of the penalty area, limiting the Spurs' offensive effort.
After some consideration, Popovich replaced Fournier, replaced Parker and Neil as a double back guard, not only added a ball-breaking hand, but also guaranteed a stable three point on the field.
However, in this way, Ginobili took the position of small forward again, which was more reluctant for him. He and Neal had to go to defend Parsons, which was misplaced.
The Spurs can only play this way, if they send blue collars to strengthen the defense, they can not break the Clippers defense. After Scola left, except for Duncan, the Spurs did not have an excellent inside scorer, which is why Duncan's data is beautiful.
