NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

During the timeout, the Spurs came off the bench.

Coach Popovich first gave high praise to the five players who started the game, and then began to make a new round of tactical arrangements: "Their timeout was called very early, it should be just a timeout called by the coach to adjust the mentality of the players, so when they come on the court for a while, their lineup will not change much." "

Coach, they completely ignored us when they faced our high blocking tactics on the court, and if we went on like this, we wouldn't be able to get into their penalty area. Sohan raised a hand and asked his question.

"The other party is right to do this, the inside line and the outside line, always choose a key protection. Popovich didn't pay much attention to it, "It's not difficult to deal with this kind of defense, as long as we defend ourselves."

"Let's defend ourselves?" Sohan touched his chin, pondering what Popovich had said, and then he showed a look of realization, "Oh, I see, coach, what you mean is that as long as we can defend the interior and let them shoot as much as possible, and then we can rebound under protection, so that we can launch a fast break, and in such a transition round, we can find an opportunity to hit the opponent's basket directly, just like Keldon's shot just now."

Popovich nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you understand very well." Remember, our tactics are run-and-bomb tactics, and there is no need to pursue opportunities to attack the frame in positional warfare, all we have to do is to run, as long as we run, then all kinds of offensive opportunities will naturally appear. The

timeout was quickly over, and after a few more simple instructions, Popovich did not choose to replace any of the starters, but continued to play with the current lineup.

To Chang Tiancheng's surprise, Popovich, who has always admired stability and rigor, did not give any instructions to the three-point shot he forced before the timeout, as if he acquiesced to the fact that he could enjoy such a difficult shot.

Back on the court, the Hawks' lineup was the same as Popovich expected, the same starting lineup at the beginning of the game, and it seems that the opposing coach also thinks that there is nothing wrong with his lineup, but there are some mistakes in the tactical execution, which has led to the current score of the two teams.

Murray received Capela's serve, first pushed the ball into the Spurs' half with an unhurried pace, and then beckoned to Collins, motioning for Collins to cooperate with him.

And this tactic was obviously arranged by the previous coach, as early as Murray just after halftime, Collins was ready to mention the line, as soon as he saw Murray's gesture, he quickly rushed to the three-point line to set up cover for Murray.

After Murray bypassed Collins' cover, he did not choose to break through in the face of his former younger brother Keldon, but transferred the ball to Collins who cut inside after blocking and dismantling.

Collins is tall, which makes it difficult for Chang Tiancheng, who has changed his guard in the past, to take him down. And after Collins received the ball, in order to prevent himself from being stolen by a small guard like Chang Tiancheng, he even deliberately chose to directly close the ball and take three steps to the basket.

Sochan wanted to rush over to make up for the defense, but his body was stuck by Capela, which made him have no way to bypass him to make up the inside line.

And just like that, Collins made an easy two-handed dunk.

At 11:18, the Eagles' timely tactical adjustments worked, and they successfully completed an offensive just after returning from a timeout.

Chang Tiancheng saw that the opponent still chose to attack on the inside, and he had a number in his heart. Although the defense of the seven-second offensive system focuses on proper shooting and then protecting the basket as much as possible, in today's situation, you can consider a different defensive approach.

As we all know, the Hawks' strongest outside attacker is Trae Young, and although he has started to form a backcourt partnership with Murray this season, he has also been a real ball-handling core in the league in previous seasons. So his offensive mode, Chang Tiancheng is very clear.

Trae Young's three-point shooting ability was arguably the only thing that made Chang Tiancheng feel jealous in this game, so he had McDermott defend Trae Young before. He also understands what he means, giving Trae Young some space to break through, and even giving him some opportunities to attack directly to the basket.

Trae Young scored two points at most, but the Hawks' outside three-point shooting firepower was cut off as a result.

And the Spurs have the blessing of the two skills of marksman and point guard, so whether it is themselves or their teammates, the shooting rate will be improved to a certain extent, since the opponent does not let the players on their side attack the inside, then they all stand outside the three-point line to shoot, anyway, I have a high shooting rate.

After this back-and-forth play, the Hawks scored two points, the Spurs scored three, and after a few rounds, the difference would still be widened.

After Chang Tiancheng took the ball to the frontcourt, he immediately called Keldon to block for himself, but Collins, who was responsible for defending Keldon, did not squat in the penalty area like Capela this time, but followed Keldon to the line.

Chang Tiancheng bypassed Keldon's cover, and in the face of Collins' defense, he chose to hoist the ball directly into Kelden's hands, and at this time, he became Murray, who was in charge of defending Chang Tiancheng.

Murray knew that Keldon's muscular strength was comparable to that of the inside, so he didn't dare to slack off, and quickly stood firm in a horse stride and lowered his center of gravity to deal with Keldon's low singles.

But it didn't work out too well, and Keldon, after testing Murray with a Sikma spin, quickly adjusted to back-to-back mode and began to use his muscles to crush Murray, pushing him step by step towards the basket. At the moment when Kelden turned around and was about to cut directly into the dunk, Capela's tall body appeared in front of him, and he stood firmly between Kelden and the basket, perfectly blocking Kelden's offensive line.

However, the Spurs players have been quite good in previous seasons, and when faced with such a situation, Keldon reacted very quickly and passed the ball directly to Sochan behind Capela.

Capela immediately turned around and tried to block Sochan, but Sochan was not stupid, he knew Capela's defensive area, so he directly chose to shoot a small throw under the basket the moment he received the ball.

The basketball slid through Capela's fingertips and fell gently into the hoop.
