Chapter 77
On the fifth, the Blazers continued to face the Spurs.
Perhaps it was due to his confidence in the Spurs' offense and defense, or perhaps because he felt that the Blazers were just lucky. Popovich did not change the starting lineup. ball.
However, the Spurs deliberately strengthened the protection of backcourt rebounds, and the Blazers' second offensive opportunities were greatly reduced.
The two teams finished the first half softly, and the Blazers trailed the Spurs 42 to 43.
Adelaide played poorly, allowing Thomas to only make 6 of 1 shots and 3 turnovers.Su Yang knew that the reason for Adelaide's poor performance was that he had lost too many positions, and he also clearly informed Adelaide, but he has not been in a hurry to make adjustments.
When the third quarter started, Su Yang temporarily instructed Ade to feint to attract the defense and leave space for his teammates to break through.Adelaide obeyed, but the Spurs did not take precautions. Webster and Roy teamed up to play a wave of 10-0.
The Spurs hastily adjusted their defensive focus, and Su Yang asked the Blazers to play more balls for Adelaide. Adelaide also temporarily gave up the cold mid-range shot, and instead broke through and rushed to the basket, carrying the defense for layups many times, causing Thomas and others foul.
Coupled with the sudden 23 zone defense, the Blazers played another 7-0 offensive, winning by 18 points in a single quarter.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the Spurs tried to set off a counterattack several times, and at one point they were only 12 points behind.
It's a pity that with Ginobili's two consecutive strikes and mistakes, the Spurs completely lost hope of chasing points.
At the end of the game, Bowen kicked his legs at Roy, who was in a hurry to stop and take off, almost causing a fight.
In the end, the Blazers defeated the Spurs 103-85, leading 2-0 in the Western Conference semifinals.
In the whole game, Duncan, who played abnormally in the first game, performed well. He made 11 of 6 shots in total, scored 18 points and 8 rebounds, but Parker and Ginobili only made 24 of 8 shots in total and sent 8 turnovers. , can be called a cancer.
For the Trail Blazers, Roy performed gratifyingly, scoring 20 points and 11 assists on 30 of 9 shots, but Adelaide performed poorly. The role is pure blue-collar.
With a score of 2 to 0, the Blazers also won by nearly 20 points in each game. It really slapped the 19 ESPN commentators who supported the Spurs' prediction results, and it also surprised the public fans. Many discussions quickly arose on social media.
[Popovich is the biggest bastard coach. Whenever Duncan plays abnormally, the Spurs can't win. 】
[Popovich is arrogant and conceited. He obviously verified that the first game would not work like that, but he continued to use that first game in the second game. It was obvious that Duncan was uncomfortable when he was double-teamed, but he insisted on letting Duncan take the ball at the waist and coach Not as good as me. 】
[Manu Ginobili's swollen knee injury seriously affected his competitive state. He had a lot of missed passes, which were considered quick passes before the injury. Many weird breakthroughs were very effective before the injury. The Blazers took advantage . 】
[The Spurs will not break double teams!The primary school-level response thinking of "Duncan is double-teamed and passed to the outside, and the outside meets the supplementary defense and then passed to the weak side" can be said to be no threat. The Blazers can perfectly rotate supplementary defenses like gears. 】
Amidst all kinds of discussions, the Blazers flew to San Antonio and started training after a day off.
The coaching staff worked overtime to watch the video, and discussed various things. Su Yang proposed several changes that the Spurs might make, allowing the players to conduct targeted training in advance, and also talked to Adelaide alone, so that Adelaide can play freely and forget the bad things Performance.
Su Yang also reminded the players not to underestimate the enemy, because in the playoffs, moves are taken in turns, and whoever fails to move first is more likely to lose. The Spurs' persistence may be with the mentality of testing moves, so in the face of changes, even if they lose Don't panic either.
On the eighth, the Blazers challenged the Spurs away.
Perhaps forced to admit that the Blazers are tough opponents, Popovich finally made adjustments.
Duncan no longer took the ball from the waist and tried to force Frye in back-up singles, but returned to the power forward position, took the ball in the elbow area and tried to attack Alder face-to-face. Playing like that is average and extremely skilled.
Seeing Duncan's seamless transformation, Su Yang lamented that Duncan is really strong, except for the big windmill dunk, he has almost no weaknesses.
Because the face frame can easily pass long passes, the Blazers dare not continue to double-team Duncan. In addition, Michael Finley and Ginobili frequently intersperse the bottom line, and the Blazers even stand in advance to block the basket. difficulty.
Just like that, Duncan was 10 of 7 in the half, using his super basic skills to beat Adelaide dizzily.
The Spurs have also made great changes on the defensive end, trying their best to pinch three-pointers to block the inside line, and put in mid-range shots appropriately.
Roy's performance is not bad. After all, Huang Mamba, who used the screen to stop and make a mid-range shot, is quite efficient.
But the other guards of the Trail Blazers, Blake and Jack, made 23 of 7 shots together and frequently sent long rebounds.
Su Yang wanted to adjust, but the Spurs insisted on making a mid-range shot, and no tactics would work if he couldn't make a shot.
In the end, the Blazers lost to the Spurs 82 to 101, and the series became 2 to 1.
After the game, words like 'the return of the Spurs king' flooded social media, and the Blazers became dogs again.
Outlaw and others complained to the report, saying that the public fans treat the two teams with different standards, and they will look down upon a little setback.
Su Yang comforted and said don’t get entangled. It’s natural for fans to have those opinions, because the Blazers haven’t won the championship yet, and haven’t left a deep impression on the fans, and most fans will only follow suit afterwards. What they have to do is to continue to win .
NO.11, the Blazers continue to challenge the Spurs.
Popovich took the initiative to change the lineup and directly let Ginobili replace Finley as the starting shooting guard, which greatly improved the offensive firepower of the starting lineup.The Spurs also made a challenge on the defensive end, fully guiding Roy's sidelines, and trying their best to suppress Roy's pass.
Roy unceremoniously shot various shots from the side, scored 8 points in a row, and led the team to a 12-4 lead.
But the Spurs stuck to that defensive strategy, gradually tying the score as Roy's shooting percentage dropped.
Su Yang made arrangements in advance to transfer the offensive center to Adelaide, but Adelaide's performance was slightly worse, only 7 of 2.
Fortunately, the Blazers have adapted to Duncan taking the ball in a high position, and there are not many loopholes on the defensive end.After halftime, the Spurs led 56 to 54. Unfortunately, several offensive rebounds and steals failed to convert into points.
During the halftime break, Su Yang gave a passionate speech, encouraging the players to stay calm and wait for the opportunity to kill the Spurs.
Unexpectedly, after the start of the third quarter, the young and impulsive Adelaide faced the sophisticated and cunning Duncan, and was tricked by Duncan's various tricks. In just over 2 minutes, he was called for three consecutive fouls. Had to end.
Without Adelaide, the Blazers' inside offensive threat was greatly reduced, and Duncan and Thomas unscrupulously expanded the pressure.
As for Outlaw, who came off the bench, it was difficult to rush up in the positional battle, and he was forced to eat several times.
Roy struggled to carry the situation and scored 11 points in a single quarter, but he couldn't stop other teammates from collapsing.
In the end, the Blazers lost to the Spurs 101 to 112, and the series was tied 2-2.
Su Yang had a premonition that Ade was going to be sprayed wildly, so he took the responsibility in advance during the interview, saying that his rotation was too slow.McMillan also said that the reaction in the third quarter was a bit slow, and Outlaw and others also said that they did not play well, so they tried to make Alder feel supported.
It's a pity that the public fans still caught Adelaide and mocked him, saying that he was prone to fouls and hadn't corrected it for several months. Tran.
After the team flew back to Portland, Su Yang received a text message from Adelaide at four o'clock in the morning.
Su Yang replied directly with what Kobe said, reminding Adelaide not to expect the fans to understand, because what he is doing is a very great thing, and the opponent is also a very strong team, which is far beyond the understanding of the fans. If you make a mistake, you will redouble your efforts.
After sending the text message, Su Yang lost all sleepiness, so he just got up and turned on the computer, and worked overtime to study how to adjust his playing style.
