NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

During the timeout, Popovich called Chang Tiancheng to his side: "Chang, how are you feeling now? If I let you play for a while, can you hold on?"

"Of course, coach." Chang Tiancheng hurriedly responded, "I rested for so long in the first quarter, and I saved a lot of physical strength, and it will definitely be okay to play a little longer in the second quarter."

Popovich nodded, calculating in his heart that Coach Casey would definitely choose to bring Wiseman on the court again in the face of the current situation, forming a twin tower with Bagley.

Since there is no way to keep up with the pace of the Spurs on the outside offense, it is better to start from the inside and drag the Spurs into their own offensive rhythm.

Anyway, the most important step for the Spurs to frequently launch fast breaks is to get defensive rebounds on the defensive end. As long as they can strengthen the success rate of their interior offense, then once the Spurs can't get defensive rebounds, the efficiency of the natural fast break will be much slower.

Popovich, who had calculated this, smiled slightly and beckoned to Keldon: "Keldon, you have a good rest, and you will be ready to play in a while." Diop, you take a break first.

After hearing the coach's shout, Keldon didn't delay at all, and ran directly to warm up, after all, he had been resting for a long time, and he had long wanted to go up and experience it after watching the smooth attack of his teammates on the field. I just don't know if I can keep up with the rhythm of Chang Tiancheng.

Coach Casey was quick to set up, and in the final moments of the timeout, he was already cheering for the whole team.

As the referee blew the whistle to signify the start of the game, the players from both sides returned to the field.

The Pistons, on their side, switched to their original starting lineup, while the Spurs replaced Keldon for Diop to form a lineup with a stronger ability to rush the frame.

The Pistons attacked again, and after Burks dribbled to the frontcourt, he decisively handed the ball to Bagley first.

Sochan gritted his teeth, and the scene of being forced by Bagley many times in the first quarter was still vivid, and he lowered his center of gravity as much as possible, hoping to withstand Bagley's back singles.

But Bagley's physical advantage is still too obvious after all, after two back hits, only one roll over and leaning back, Sochan can no longer form an effective interference, and can only watch the opponent shoot.

At such a close distance, Bagley's shot was still very sure, and the ball hit steadily, and the score came to 48:54.

What's more, the Pistons regained the initiative on the interior offense at this point. In the last few rounds, Bagley had to face the Spurs' 211-centimeter center Collins, and now facing Sochan, who is much shorter, he can free up his interior offense again.

And Collins needs to deal with Wiseman, another center of the Pistons, at the moment, although his performance today is not very good, but he can still cause a lot of problems for the Spurs' interior line.

After Chang Tiancheng received the ball, knowing that the team had lost the opportunity to push the fast attack, he simply slowed down the pace and slowly walked to the opponent's frontcourt, but still commanded McDermott and Keldon to squat in the bottom corner, but this time he did not let the two interior lines come out to do a high block for himself, but only let Collins pull out to cover himself.

Popovich saw this scene off the court, and he immediately understood Chang Tiancheng's thoughts in his heart. He wanted to use Collins' cover to give the Pistons a change and give himself a chance to single Wiseman.

And the Pistons were forced to choose to let Wiseman quickly switch to Chang Tiancheng at the moment when Chang Tiancheng bypassed Collins' cover, otherwise with Chang Tiancheng's shooting skills that he only missed once in this game, he would definitely be able to use this short empty three-point opportunity to complete a three-point shot. This allowed Chang Tiancheng to get the opportunity to play Wiseman one-on-one.

Chang Tiancheng bent down and first performed a few crotch dribbles, successfully mobilizing Wiseman's defensive center of gravity to move back and forth with his dribble. In the end, Chang Tiancheng caught Wiseman's inattention, instantly attacked his front foot, and only used two dribbles to kill the Pistons to the basket.

Seeing this, Bagley hurriedly jumped up and tried to block Chang Tiancheng's shot. But Chang Tiancheng did not choose to go to the basket, but directly threw the ball high.

Sohan jumped up again, received Chang Tiancheng's pass, and pressed the ball into the basket hard.

48:56。 Once again, the Spurs made an offensive attack with great ease.

While carrying the ball, Burks thought in his heart: if he wants to complete an attack, he needs two interior lines to constantly play back, which will undoubtedly consume a lot of physical strength. The Spurs, on the other hand, easily scored two points through their positioning and tactical design. What's more, this is because it is Bagley who is responsible for the defense, if Bojan, who was guarding the bottom corner, just now blocked Chang Tiancheng, then Chang Tiancheng only needs to pass the ball to the shooter squatting in the bottom corner, and the Spurs are likely to get three points.

Thinking of this, Burks, a veteran guard who has been in the league for many years, couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Birks didn't choose to pass the ball this time, but slowly took a step inside the Spurs' three-point line and began to play with his back to the spurs.

Such a move was very unexpected, and it was indeed difficult to defend him if he was directly beaten by a sturdy defender like Burks. But now, his body has been tempered by the skills of steel and iron, although his height does not seem to have changed, but the muscles of his whole body have become very strong, and after standing firm, he easily withstood Burks's back blow.

Burks couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw that he couldn't resist the defender, who seemed to be a full lap younger than him, but he soon observed that Joseph had already circled around the top of the arc and simply passed the ball over to ease his embarrassment.

After Joseph received the ball, he looked at McDermott, who had come over to make up the defense, and dangled outside the three-point line, picking McDermott up, and then breaking through to the Spurs' interior.

Seeing this, Kelden hurriedly took a step forward and tried to block Joseph's breakthrough route. However, Joseph used his peripheral vision to see that Bojan, who was ambushed in the bottom corner, was already in an empty position, so he decisively passed the ball over.

By the time Keldon wanted to turn back and make up for the defense, it was too late, Bojan made a three-point shot, but unfortunately it was a little off, and the rebound went directly to Chang Tiancheng's hands.

This time, Chang Tiancheng did not hesitate, and directly took the ball and began to run towards the Pistons' basket.

This time, Chang Tiancheng's speed rose extremely fast, and by the time the Pistons and others reacted and began to prepare to return to defense, Chang Tiancheng had already passed half time.

Chang Tiancheng turned around and saw that no one could keep up with him, so he slowed down slightly, adjusted his pace, took a long breath, jumped after a big stride, and completed a one-handed split

! 48:58, the Spurs' lead came to 10!
