Chapter 671 Playing against Santonio

The AT&T Center Arena in Santonio, the home of the Spurs, has attracted the attention of basketball fans from all over the world time and again since entering the 21st century. The Spurs have been one of the strongest teams in the league in the past ten years.

It has been played in this arena many times over the past decade, and now, the Western Conference Finals are being held here again.

Challenging the Spurs away from home, the Warriors' first two games in the Western Conference Finals need to be played on the road, which is completely different from last season. Last season, the Spurs had home court advantage from the first round of the playoffs to the finals, but this season except

There is a home court advantage against the Thunder in the first round, but there is no home advantage against the Lakers and Spurs in the next round.

The two teams are no strangers. They played against each other near the end of this season. In that game, Yang Shuai scored 86 points in a single game, breaking Kobe's record of 81 points and ranking his name second in history.

.

It was an unforgettable game for both the Warriors and the Spurs, so reporters didn't stop mentioning the situation before the game.

"The game that night was like a nightmare. Defending Yang was the top priority in the game. Once Yang is in form, it will be a huge test for us." In the pre-game interview, Manu Ginobili

Frankly speaking, Yang Shuai is powerful.

Compared with the regular season, the Spurs' starting lineup has changed slightly. The center position is still Tim Duncan, power forward Antonio McDyess, small forward Richard Jefferson, and small forward Danny Green.

Point guard Tony Parker.

**Vicki veteran Antonio McDyess was put into the starting lineup, and at the same time, Ginobili returned to the bench to play as the sixth man. At the beginning of the second game of the playoffs, **Vicki

I have always used this lineup, and judging from the results, the results are pretty good.

The Warriors' starting lineup is exactly the same as the regular season, with center Tyson Chandler, power forward Antoine Jamison, small forward Yang Shuai, shooting guard Tyreke Evans, and point guard Kirk Hinrich.

.

"Hello, dear viewers, welcome everyone to watch with us the 10-11 Western Conference Finals, the Oakland Warriors versus the San Antonio Spurs." Mike Breen introduced with a smile, and the person sitting next to him was still

Former Rockets head coaches Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson.

"Beep!" As the referee blew a whistle, Tyson Chandler and Tim Duncan jumped up at the same time, giving the Warriors the right to take the lead in attacking.

Hinrich dribbled the ball into the frontcourt and tried to set up a pick-and-roll with Jamison, but was directly stopped by Parker, and the ball was handed over to Evans.

Defending Evans is Danny Green, who was born in North Carolina. This is a young man with very balanced offensive and defensive abilities. Although he was promoted to the starting player because of tactical needs, Danny Green's own strength also means that he can

Important reasons for sitting in this position.

Green's strength is pretty good, but he is not on the same level as Evans. After receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, he swayed to the left, and Evans quickly rushed to the right.

Evans' explosive power cannot be compared with a pervert like Yang Shuai, but it is undoubtedly very good when placed on the entire back line. Green only delayed a moment, and Evans immediately found the opportunity to rush to the basket.

The Spurs' defense shrank, and Evans' ball was quickly passed to the hands of Yang Shuai who stepped out of the middle distance. Seeing Yang Shuai receiving the ball, Jefferson, who followed closely behind, rushed to rush.

McDyess, who was guarding Jamison, was also busy getting out from behind his opponent and pounced on Yang Shuai.

Facing the defense of the two men, Yang Shuai still jumped in the air, and Jefferson and McDyess naturally took off without hesitation.

Looking at the movements of the two, Yang Shuai raised the corners of his mouth slightly, grabbed the ball with both hands and suddenly swung it to the side. The ball had already been passed to Jamison, who had moved a step and appeared in the open space.

"Whoa!" After catching the ball, he shot quickly, and unguarded, Jamison shot the ball steadily.

After Parker dribbled to half court, Duncan set up a pick-and-roll. The French sports car dribbled to the right. Parker and Duncan had practiced pick-and-roll cooperation countless times. The two had formed a very good understanding. Almost as soon as Parker rushed in

At the same time as the three-point line, Duncan was already moving sideways.

Hinrich indeed failed to keep up with Parker at the first time, which also forced Chandler to go around the defense from behind Duncan. Parker suddenly took a step forward and took Chandler away, but at this time he knocked down the pass.

In Duncan's hands.

"Bang!" Immediately after receiving the ball, Duncan shot the ball. Duncan did not use his signature rebound shot. The ball hit the inside of the basket and bounced into the basket, making a two-pointer.

The Warriors' possession of the ball once again appeared in the hands of Yang Shuai. After receiving the ball, he quickly took a step forward. Yang Shuai's action caused Jefferson to step back in a hurry, while Yang Shuai stopped his body at this time.

Completely paused. No matter whether Yang Shuai is rushing over or standing still, no matter whether Yang Shuai has the ball in his hands or not, as long as he stands on the court, the defensive players will feel the pressure.

Yang Shuai changed from rushing to a sudden stop, but Jefferson didn't have the slightest pride in forcing Yang Shuai to stop. Instead, he was busy taking a step forward.

At this moment, Yang Shuai started again and charged forward!

The timing chosen by Yang Shuai was undoubtedly very clever. Just when Jefferson was about to land, although Jefferson reacted and Yang Shuai rushed forward again, his body was unable to make corresponding defensive actions at all. When he could control his steps and move backward,

When he moved, Yang Shuai had already completely rushed past him.

Breaking through Jefferson's defense, Yang Shuai also saw Duncan, who was already blocking the front line to help defend. He appeared in front of Duncan in the blink of an eye. At the same time, Yang Shuai's body was also dripping.

In one turn, he turned directly from in front of Duncan to behind the opponent.

Duncan, who understood, quickly turned around to defend, but before he could make it in time, he jumped up from the basket, grabbed the ball with his right hand and flicked it around from the bottom of the basket. The ball had already been thrown by Yang Shuai.

As if it had been accurately calculated, the ball hit the basket and fell into the basket without even touching the net.

"Good shot! Yang's breakthrough is still sharp, and Yang passed two people without any effort at all!" Mike Breen sincerely praised. If this ball were placed at the Warriors' home court, there would no doubt be a round of applause.

Lei. And here, no matter how beautifully Yang Shuai plays, he can't get applause.

The Warriors' offense was successful, and the Spurs' offense was also successful. After Parker's breakthrough, he attracted the attention of the Warriors' defense and passed the ball to Danny Green on the outside. The latter took advantage of the Warriors' defense line to be slightly confused and then broke through and made a small throw.

Hit the ball.

Both teams scored in the first three attacks, and it was not until the fourth round that the shooting percentage began to drop, but the shooting rate still remained above 50%. Perhaps it was the first game, and both teams were trying to test it.

The defensive end is not that hard.

Of course, the defense of the two teams is not among the top defensive teams in the league. Needless to say, the Warriors' defense can only be called good. After all, this team still has the deep imprint of Nelson. And the Spurs

This season they have been aggressively attacking. Although they are still the same players as in the previous two years, their defensive strength has declined a lot.

At 28:29, with the last 32 seconds left in the first quarter, the difference between the two teams was only one point. The Spurs led by 1 point and had the right to attack.

At this time, Parker had already come off the court to rest. The Spurs' point guard on the court was George Hill. After Hill took possession of the ball and reached halftime, he did not rush to attack, but turned his attention to Ginobili who was running.

.

The Spurs GDP combination is one of the most stable combinations in the league in recent years, and the combination is also very reasonable. Whether it is Duncan, Parker or Ginobili, they can all play as the team's offensive core, and the significance of this core is not only

It refers to personal attacks, but also includes organizing team-mates' attacks.

Ginobili's running position is undoubtedly very good. Through the cover of his teammates, he quickly got rid of Belinelli and ran to the right side of the three-point line. George Hill's pass was also at this time.

come.

After receiving the ball, Ginobili quickly raised his hand to shoot. Belinelli almost pounced on him immediately, but in the end he suppressed the impulse in his heart and just raised his center of gravity and raised his hand.

Ginobili's shooting action was indeed a fake move. When Belinelli raised his hand, he had already smashed the ball on the floor and rushed forward. Because Ginobili's fixed-point shooting rarely took off, this was also

This made his fake moves extremely realistic. Fortunately, Belinelli remained alert at this time and was not fooled, which also allowed him to make defensive moves immediately when Ginobili broke through.

"Porphy!" Ginobili took a step forward and bumped into Belinelli. Instead of forcing a breakout, Ginobili handed the ball to Matt Bonner in the middle distance on the left, and he moved towards the outside.

.

Seeing Ginobili passing the ball to the outside, Belinelli was slightly relieved. However, at this moment, Ginobili's figure suddenly shook, ran backwards, and rushed to the basket.

When Belinelli reacted, he was already one step away from Ginobili.

Matt Bonner's ground pass came at the right time, and Ginobili got rid of Belinelli and easily made a layup. At 28:31, the two teams were 3 points apart.

There are only 11 seconds left in the first quarter's attack time. The 11 seconds of attack time is enough for Yang Shuai.

Yang Shuai was still on the court. He was the only player from both teams who had not rested in the first quarter. Collison dribbled the ball and quickly handed the ball to Yang Shuai just after it passed the midline.

It was still Jefferson who stood in front of Yang Shuai. He kept retreating when Yang Shuai advanced, but Jefferson did not dare to relax at all.

5 seconds! Yang Shuai suddenly dribbled to the right, and Jefferson naturally moved towards this direction without hesitation. At the same time as Jefferson acted, Yang Shuai dribbled the ball behind his back and pulled the ball to the left.

Before Jefferson could fully react, Yang Shuai quickly retreated with the ball and reappeared outside the three-point line.

2 seconds! Yang Shuai jumped up from outside the three-point line. At this time, Jefferson had just moved his steps to the left. He didn't care about rushing forward. Without much defensive pressure, Yang Shuai calmly threw the ball.

.

"Whoa!" When the red light came on, he got into the basket. The ball rubbed against the net and made a crisp sound. It hit!

"The ball went in! A three-pointer at the buzzer! Yang! Big heart Yang, he hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to help the team tie the score."

At 31:31, the two teams were tied.
