He Feng opened the game with a mid-range 45-degree angle jump shot.
The Spurs attacked, and Parker controlled the ball.
He adopted a very stable pick-and-roll cooperation, and Duncan stepped forward to set the screen.
After many years of partnership, the tacit understanding between the two is beyond words.
Duncan's screen quality is very high, and Parker has gained breakthrough space.
The "sports car" accelerated and had already entered the inside.
The signature turn passed West who was assisting in defense, and made a layup shot.
As the current Spurs' highest scoring player, Parker made the first attack at the beginning.
The Spurs are best at double-team defense, and the wing combination of Leonard and Green has an excellent switching defense effect.
Hill used the screen to get rid of the defense, and Leonard's backup defense was soon in place.
The basketball was transferred to Paul George, and Green also quickly stepped forward.
Under Green's interference, Paul George failed to find an opportunity in the first time.
According to the past, the Spurs' defensive strategy has been successful.
The outside line constantly interferes with the opponent's shooters, while Duncan is in charge of the inside line.
It is definitely not an easy task to forcefully attack the Spurs' defense.
Especially when facing a team that lacks outside shooting ability, the effect is quite good.
It is actually very simple to crack the Spurs' double team defense.
That requires a player with super shooting ability.
Double team defense is to pinch in the area between the free throw line and the three-point line, but what if you shoot directly from the outside?
The Spurs' unlimited switching defense is too late at all!
Paul George couldn't find an opportunity, so he immediately transferred the ball to He Feng.
Leonard defended Hill and Green defended Paul George, so who else could defend He Feng from the outside? Only Parker was left!
The Spurs' switching defense this time was tantamount to digging their own graves!
Facing Parker's defense, He Feng was quite impolite and raised his hand to shoot.
Parker's jump block was just a meaningless struggle.
"Swish!"
The three-pointer hit steadily!
The Spurs emphasize teamwork. Duncan and Parker both have the ability to break through and play hard, but they did not play alone and still implemented the tactics seriously.
After continuous running and passing, Parker broke through and passed the ball to Green in the corner.
Green dribbled the ball sideways and shot a three-pointer.
The next moment, he regretted it.
He Feng jumped too high!
Snap-
A crisp sound rang out.
The basketball that Green had just thrown was directly fanned out of the court by He Feng.
A big pot!
This block brought out Green's psychological shadow.
Although the ball was still in the Spurs' hands, there was little time left for the offense.
In the end, Leonard executed the offense in this round and failed to hit.
The Pacers protected the rebound and counterattacked defensively.
The Spurs still adopted a zone defense, but it was easily broken by He Feng again.
He went out from the bottom line to the top of the arc and decisively shot a three-pointer after receiving the ball.
Leonard's defense was still a step too slow after all.
A crisp sound of brushing the net sounded, and the shot was made again!
Popovich on the sidelines shook his head helplessly, "The conventional defensive strategy is not very effective!"
Duncan, the star player of the Spurs, who had little presence at the beginning, finally took a shot, pick-and-roll, and Parker and Duncan were already familiar with this tactic.
Duncan received the pass, faced the young Hibbert, dribbled to the penalty area, and shot directly.
Although the jump height was not high, the space had appeared, and Hibbert failed to complete the block.
Bang, swish!
The basketball hit the backboard, very neat and tidy.
After hitting the signature backboard jump shot, Duncan's face was calm, without any emotional ups and downs.
After all, for him who has mastered the basic skills, this shot is no different from daily training.
Attack and defense transition.
He Feng once again used his shooting ability to break the Spurs' double-team defense.
Shoot from one meter outside the three-point line and score again!
Three consecutive three-pointers at the start of the game directly stunned the Spurs!
The best weapon of the Spurs on defense - the zone defense, was useless against He Feng!
Popovich immediately applied for a timeout.
How to limit He Feng is really a big problem!
The adjustment made by Popovich is to let Leonard, who has better physical conditions and stronger defensive ability, defend He Feng.
Moreover, for He Feng, no more zone defense is used. Leonard only needs to keep an eye on He Feng, and don't go to make up for others even if they are open.
In special circumstances, He Feng needs to be double-teamed.
In short, He Feng can't score easily!
Popovich's tactical arrangement is one thing, and whether Leonard can perfectly execute the tactics is another.
It is true that Leonard's defensive ability is better than Green, but not much.
Leonard may grow into the best defensive player in the future, but he is still very immature now.
He Feng still can't limit He Feng by himself.He Feng cooperated with Hill in pick-and-roll. After the screen, He Feng retreated to the outside line, and Hill passed the ball back.
This is a very simple tactic, but it is very practical. He Feng received the ball and shot a jump shot towards Leonard, and it hit!
He Feng's off-ball running made Leonard unpredictable. Although Leonard was focused and only had He Feng in his eyes, he still lost him.
He Feng had already received the pass, and he hurried over.
Leonard was very cautious and definitely did not dare to let He Feng shoot, so he rushed over decisively.
Bang!
He Feng's shot was just a fake move.
The ball fell, accelerated, and he had already entered the penalty area.
Shifo sat under the basket, jumped up to block, and He Feng glided from in front of him to the other side of the basket, and made a layup with his backhand.
The Spurs' penalty area defense line could not stop He Feng!
Green began to try to find opportunities to double-team He Feng, which also meant that Paul George, who was defended by him, had more opportunities.
Paul George was in really good shape tonight, seizing the opportunity and attacking continuously.
He looked at Green fiercely, "Damn it, this is the consequence of you not paying attention to me!"
The Spurs could no longer contain the Pacers' attack.
On the defensive end, He Feng also directly defended and stole the ball from Leonard, and then made a layup.
He also assisted in the defense inside, and when Duncan got rid of the defense and was ready to show the "mystery of the big basic skills", he rushed out from the side and directly invited the "Stone Buddha" to eat a big hot pot!
The wing forward combination composed of He Feng and Paul George was also performing unlimited switching.
Green and Leonard, two outside firepower points, could not play.
The Spurs' offensive system failed to run smoothly, and could only rely on Parker and Duncan, two old guys.
The two veterans played quite well, but their physical strength was also rapidly consumed.
As their physical strength decreased, their offensive efficiency also decreased.
In the first quarter, the Spurs were able to hold on to the score with the support of Parker and Duncan.
In the second half of the second quarter, the Pacers suddenly accelerated.
He Feng and Paul George, two forwards with outstanding athletic ability, made shots from inside and outside, constantly attacking the Spurs' defense.
How could Duncan keep up with He Feng and Paul George? Ginobili's physical strength was a big challenge, and his defense was really touching. Parker was the youngest of the "GDP" and the fastest runner, but he couldn't defend!
The old guys were useless, and young people like Green and Leonard were not up to the task.
In the last five minutes of the second quarter, the Pacers played a 17:8 attack wave and directly widened the score difference.
Popovich supported his chin with his left palm and frowned.
The team encountered big difficulties tonight!
