NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

Being looked at by Popovich like this, Chang Tiancheng suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Chang, you should be able to understand why I made such a personnel change. Popovich asked.

"This..."Chang Tiancheng was speechless for a while. Although he has a very high basketball IQ, Popovich is one of the most famous coaches in NBA history after all, and his on-the-spot decision-making is naturally impossible for Chang Tiancheng to understand at once.

Popovich saw that Chang Tiancheng was slow to speak, so he explained to him: "We sent Sandro and Diop before, although these two children have a certain projection ability, but just now on the court, our interior attack is completely absent. None of the five people on the field can pose a threat to the opponent's penalty area, even you, it is difficult to break through to the opponent's penalty area.

"That's why I sent Sochan in the hope that you can do a pick-and-roll with him, so that he has a chance to go straight to the frame, so that our offensive means can be enriched.

After hearing Popovich's words, Chang Tiancheng thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

Previously, the only offensive means on his side was to shoot a three-point shot on the outside, although it looked beautiful, but after a few rounds, the opponent also saw through the offensive mode on his side, so the Pistons team in the next few rounds, are choosing a wide range of defense, so that Chang Tiancheng just after the three points can only be a hasty shot outside the opponent's three-point line, as long as he takes a step forward, he will be blocked by the oncoming Pistons substitute power forward Duren.

That's why Popovich chose to switch to Sochan. Only by letting Sochan score a few consecutive goals on the inside, will the opponent understand that in addition to the outside shooting on the Spurs, there is also an offensive threat in the paint area, so that the opponent will not dare to unscrupulously expand the defense to the three-point line, and Chang Tiancheng and other outside shooters will also have better opportunities to shoot.

As for the reason for sending Doug McDermott, it is very simple, even without Popovich's reminder, Chang Tiancheng can understand it.

Previously, the Pistons' shooting guard was Bojan, but now it's Spurs veteran Corey Joseph. Graham had no height advantage when he faced Joseph. But McDermott is different, he is much taller than Joseph, so the Spurs have one more offensive option - pass the ball to McDermott and let him find an opportunity to eat Joseph on the outside.

In this way, the Spurs' offense suddenly became three-dimensional: there was an inside line, an outside line, and a single point with a height advantage.

The timeout ended, and both teams returned to the field.

The Pistons still haven't made lineup adjustments, after all, the lineup just now suddenly stretched the difference to eight points, and there is no reason to change the lineup again.

Chang Tiancheng saw that the other party did not replace, and he was a little happy in his heart.

The opponent just seemed to score consecutive points, but in fact, most of the points came from Wiseman's inside play, and he has played the first quarter of the game, and if he is not allowed to play now, then his physical fitness will become a hidden danger for the Pistons in the next game, unless the Pistons don't want Wiseman in the fourth quarter at all.

Chang Tiancheng held the ball and advanced quickly, and after reaching the opponent's half, he first called Sohan to block and dismantle for himself, but after the block, Ivey chose to go around the front defense very smartly, so that Chang Tiancheng was not good to pass the ball to Sochan again.

So Chang Tiancheng changed his mind and passed the ball to Doug McDermott at a 45-degree angle on the right side. Joseph, on the other hand, put his hand in front of McDermott's eyes and interfered with his shot as much as he could.

It was also the first time that the Spurs had a height advantage in this game.

McDermott receives the ball and places it near his waist. Good shooters are accustomed to catching the ball and shooting from near the waist rather than from the thigh, which allows them to shoot faster.

Chang Tiancheng received a prompt from the system at this time: The God of Point Guard skill is triggered.

He quickly shouted to McDermott, "Don't hesitate, let's shoot!" and McDermott

also felt a strange feeling rise in his body, so he pulled up directly, ignoring Joseph's defense, and shot a three-pointer.

The ball went in, and at 41:36, the Spurs pulled the score back to five points.

Joseph asked for the ball from Ivey, and in the face of McDermott's defense, he also chose to directly force the attack, after all, although he has no height advantage, but he still has a speed advantage! He doesn't want to be suppressed by McDermott all the time on the court, since the defensive end has no way to completely prevent the opponent, then find the court on the offensive end.

Joseph had just started to break through at a speed, and suddenly, a ghostly hand stretched out to his side, and he was about to touch the basketball, it was

Chang Tiancheng! Joseph was shocked, quickly put away the ball, and began to make a layup in three steps, for fear that the ball would be cut off by Chang Tiancheng. However, this way, his breakthrough distance was reduced, and McDermott was able to easily follow him and use his height advantage to interfere, so that Joseph's shot did not even touch the basket, but smashed on the rebound. Seeing this, Suo Han jumped high, took the basketball into his arms, and then passed the ball to Chang Tiancheng.

After Chang Tiancheng received the ball, he directly launched a fast attack and killed the opponent's basket.

Seeing this, Wiseman immediately began to defend back, thanks to his physical advantage, he chased to the basket after a few big strides, jumped up behind Chang Tiancheng, and planned to shoot Chang Tiancheng's layup fiercely.

However, although Chang Tiancheng jumped at the same time as Wiseman, he did not choose to switch hands to pull the rod for a layup like he had done in the face of Burks before, but directly threw the ball on the floor.

The basketball bounced high on the floor, and just as Wiseman was pondering why he had become so many, Sochan had followed up and pressed the ball into the basket with one hand for a crisp dunk.

41:38!Spurs chase two more points!

After being finished in this way, Wiseman was obviously a little dissatisfied, and while serving, he asked Ivey and Joseph: "Hey, why don't you all go back to defense? I was the only one who ran back!" Seeing that Wiseman's

emotions were a little up, Ivey just wanted to reason with him, but was stopped by Joseph: "Man, we were lazy just now." We thought you could defend the ball, so we just waited in the front court for a fast attack, but we didn't expect Sochan to run so fast..."

Hearing Joseph's sincere attitude of admitting his mistake, Wiseman didn't want to say anything more, so he had to swallow this breath in his stomach and continue to focus on the game.
