Chapter 75
After Su Yang finished speaking, Outlaw suddenly stood up and cheered with his arms raised, quite excited.

That look, I must not have figured out what it means, but the celebration is over!

The Trail Blazers team has been struggling for too long. Just after the Spurs were suspended, they came back with another steal, and their momentum soared into the sky.

The big screen in the center specially showed Popovich biting his lips and puffing his cheeks, staring straight at the field. He was obviously angry, but he was still calm. He saw a lot of strong winds and waves, just chasing points.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Horry suddenly rushed straight down from the top of the arc, raised his hand to catch the pass from Parker, and jumped up to meet the defending Webster, wanting to play a pull-bar layup with great confidence, the referee The whistle sounded at the same time.

Seeing that Webster was called for a blocking foul, Su Yang frowned slightly.He quickly recalled the whole process and found that the problem was Adelaide, because Adelaide paid too much attention to Parker, who was holding the ball and playing pick-and-rolls, and did not take care of Horry, who should be defending.

It's the same when looking up and watching the video and returning to defense. Maybe because of the successful steals before, Adelaide is a little addicted.

After thinking about it, the Spurs kicked off again from the right sideline.

The referee blows the whistle, Ginobili uses Duncan to cover from the short corner on the left, and catches the basketball at the top of the arc. He turns around and uses Duncan to cover for the second time. Lay, collect the ball and raise your hand to pretend to shoot.

Perhaps because of his agitation, Frye still stretched out his hands and jumped to pounce on such an obvious fake move.

The referee's whistle blew immediately, calling Frye for a thug foul and giving Ginobili two free throws.

The boos of the fans stopped abruptly, and Frye scratched his head in embarrassment and raised his hand with a smile.

After being whistled for two fouls in a row, or an unforced foul, most of the momentum of the Blazers chasing points before dissipated.

Su Yang thought for a while, and took advantage of the referee's free throw, he waved and shouted at Roy, asking to come to the sideline.

Seeing this, McMillan shrugged slightly at Su Yang, as if he didn't think it was necessary, but he didn't make a sound to stop him.

Su Yang nodded to express his reassurance, and then put his hand on Roy's shoulder: "Brandon, find a way to keep everyone focused, don't lose the results of your hard work because of being too excited, the Spurs are a tough team, don't relax until the end... "

From Su Yang's point of view, the veterans of the Spurs have too much experience in the game, and it's really not safe to lead by a few points.

But he doesn't blame the Trail Blazers. After all, two rounds ago, he also felt that the game was basically stable, and he was a little carried away as a bystander outside the court, let alone the players who directly participated on the court, it was too easy to get excited.

In the first half, the task of 'hold on and don't panic' is completed, and in the second half the task will become 'hold on and don't panic'.

"Okay! I'll control the rhythm." Roy nodded, turned around and walked to the center line to wait for the free throw to end.

Su Yang returned to the bench and sat down, McMillan said with a smile: "You are stricter than me at this moment."

"I also made a temporary decision." Su Yang responded with a smile, looked up and continued to pay attention to the free throw.

In the NBA, even the most criticized coach for lack of tactics can definitely draw dozens of tactics.

But there are very few coaches who respond well on the spot, especially for the judgment of the situation. Some coaches feel the need to adjust their offensive and defensive thinking after being beaten by their opponents 15 to 0. That is the biggest difference between an excellent coach and an ordinary coach.

After the free throw on the field, Roy took the ball directly to press the rhythm, and patiently cooperated with Adelaide in a pick-and-roll.

It's a pity that Ade shot a shot, but Roy rushed to grab an offensive rebound and assisted Blake to make an air cut.

Turning to defend, Roy took the lead to remind the Spurs to pay attention to the back door without the ball. The whole team's attention became both human and ball again.

After several consecutive rounds of offense and defense, the Blazers did not let the Spurs take advantage, and kept leading by seven or eight points.

Su Yang is fortunate to make adjustments in time. Although there may be better results if no adjustments are made, he managed to keep the lower limit, and he can rely on his physical strength to continue fighting with the Spurs in the fourth quarter. .

In the third quarter, the game quickly reached the last 2 minutes, and Popovich took advantage of the dead ball to replace Duncan.

Su Yang also made adjustments, asked Roy to rest, and handed over the organizational responsibility to Blake.

The two teams faced each other for a few minutes, but the Blazers still maintained a lead of seven or eight points and firmly controlled the situation.

Popovich arranged Duncan to play in advance in the fourth quarter, and Su Yang also let Roy play at the same time.

Popovich then adjusted the lineup three times and used many methods, but he was still unable to break the situation.

The two teams come and go, the Spurs are only 5 points behind at most, and the Blazers are at most 11 points ahead.

After hitting, Blake grabbed the rebound and led the team to launch a counterattack. There were 3 minutes and 35 seconds left in the game.

McMillan turned to look at Su Yang: "Call a timeout, let everyone take a breath and prepare for the final attack."

Su Yang was staring at the inside line, and found that Ad and Frye's chests were heaving violently, obviously very tired, and they really needed to take a breath, but he shook his head slightly: "I suggest not to pause, the Spurs are even more tired, we rest, and they will also rest. "

McMillan was stunned for a while, and said with a smile: "You are more ruthless than D'Antoni."

Su Yang chuckled, got up and shouted at Roy: "Brandon, it's time to end the game!"

The voice flew out, and the audience cheered in unison.

Blake immediately passed the ball to Roy, and by the way commanded the whole team to set up a 1-high and 4-low formation to leave space.

Roy caught the ball and stopped at the team logo without hesitation, and the audience stood up and watched passionately.

With only 10 seconds left in the attack time, Adelaide raised the top of the arc from the free throw line and set up a wall to block Ginobili.

Roy took the opportunity to break through to the right, took a few strides and rushed to the waist on the right, facing Duncan who was changing defenses and intercepting him, his body suddenly stopped, and when Duncan stopped, he jumped forward in an instant, drifting in the air Pushing the ball with both hands to hit the board.

boom!The basketball rebounded into the net, 94 to 82.

Cheers erupted in the arena, Roy turned back to defend, and raised his hand to Su Yang from a distance.

The two teams switched offense and defense. Parker dribbled the ball across the center line and passed it to Ginobili on the right wing.

Ginobili made another pass to the left waist, Duncan caught the ball and turned his back to Frye, Roy and Webster immediately prepared to double-team.

But Duncan didn't move, and Webster was so focused that he didn't move at the free throw line.

Beep!The referee whistled for three seconds for a violation.

The Spurs got a free throw for a technical foul, and boos exploded in the arena, which showed that the foul was indeed committed.

Manu Ginobili hurried to the free throw line, made a free throw, and cheers erupted in the arena.

The referee blew the whistle to arrange a sideline kick, and the Spurs only had 14 seconds.After some operations, Ginobili used Duncan's cover to break through the inside line, facing Frye's supplementary defense, and resorted to his signature European step to easily sway, and scored against Alder's supplementary defense.

The Spurs bench stood up and cheered, and Su Yang praised in his heart: This is really a hopeless situation relying on Manu...

Offensive and defensive transition, Roy took the ball directly in the backcourt, all the way to the team logo in the frontcourt, and once again formed 1 high and 4 low.

Still in the last 10 seconds, Ade went up to cover, or went to the right to break through, Roy moved his waist again, faced Duncan to defend, stopped and pulled back, the basketball slammed into the net with a bang, and was followed by Bowen hit and flew.

Bowen's action was very dangerous, and Roy might be seriously injured, which was an obvious foul.

The referee blew his whistle, but it was the Spurs who requested a timeout and did not say anything to Bowen.

Su Yang went to the sidelines to negotiate with the referee, but only got an official answer, which was useless.

Roy and Ade pulled Su Yang back: "Forget it, coach, forget it, we will win..."

"Can't count!"

Su Yang stared at the referee calmly: "Next time if he doesn't get called for such a foul, I'll beat him up for you."

The referee looked at a fool, turned his head away with a smile, and Su Yang also turned back to the bench.

The timeout ended in a blink of an eye, and the game continued. The Spurs kicked off from the bottom line in the backcourt, and the Blazers kept the audience tight.

The audience shouted for defense in unison, the Spurs struggled, and Parker ran to the right wing of the frontcourt with the ball.

Without any complicated tactics, Parker directly found cover and rushed to the bottom line along the sideline.

The French sports car is fast, but Blake's White Flash is not slow, he insists on giving every bit of space.

The two reached the basket in a blink of an eye, Parker had nowhere to go, jumped up and jumped to the sidelines, and threw the ball vigorously at Duncan.

But Frye had already stood on the passing line, reached out at will to steal the basketball, and immediately passed it to Roy.

The cheers in the arena exploded, Roy flew with the ball, Adelaide followed up simultaneously, and the two played two-on-three in the frontcourt.

With a ground pass, Roy attracted two people to defend, Ade caught the ball and jumped up, dunking with a bang.

The Spurs rushed the ball to attack, and Parker rushed all the way to the top of the arc, singled out Blake a bit.

Stopping suddenly, turning around, and retreating, three actions were performed one after another, and Blake responded one by one.

Parker changed hands and changed direction again, and then continued to cross dribbles to forcefully pass Blake.

But Parker rushed so hard that he couldn't stop when he got to the basket, and his movement of collecting the ball was very awkward.

Blake followed closely, raised his hand and slapped the basketball away, and then rushed to the ground to grab it.

There was chaos at the basket, Blake forced the ball to the free throw line, and Webster caught the ball and turned around for a long pass.

Roy received the ball from the center line, rushed to the free throw line, made an emergency stop, turned around and passed Bowen, and picked the basket with a backhand.

Bowen took off with all his strength to block the block, and hit Roy's arm with a slap, and the referee whistled for a foul.

The basketball followed by smashing the basket and fell into the Nets. Two points were valid, and the Blazers led 98 to 84.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, Roy stood on the free throw line and steadily made an extra free throw.

The whistle sounded, and the Spurs requested a timeout, with 1 minute and 47 seconds left before the end of the game.The big screen in the center of the court showed the Spurs bench, and Duncan sat down one after another, while Brent Barry and others were ready to appear.

Seeing that the Spurs withdrew their main force, most of them were throwing in the towel, Su Yang thought that he was really stable this time.

But he didn't relax, and took advantage of the timeout to pay attention to three-pointers to avoid the slightest possibility of a comeback.

Outlaw and other substitutes followed his arrangement, and the Blazers finally defeated the Spurs 104-87.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game, and everyone gathered together to celebrate. McMillan put his hand on Su Yang's shoulder: "We have decided that you will attend the press conference tonight. The glory of this game belongs to you, and you deserve it all."
