Chapter 503 The Strongest Lineup Showdown! (1/3)(1/2)
At the beginning, Popovich immediately discovered that the 76ers have indeed changed a lot now!
So Parker was immediately asked to replace Forbes.
The 76ers' lineup remains unchanged.
Although DeRozan can play, the team still needs teamwork after all.
As soon as Parker came to the court, the spirit of the Spurs team immediately lifted!
At present, the coordination of the Spurs' players is a bit complicated.
DeRozan was a star player when he was in Toronto.
If he is just a good substitute player, it will be difficult for him to get a lot of playing time in the Spurs unless he is appreciated by Popovich.
At this time, there is one group of players who listen to Parker and Ginobili, while there is another group of people who believe that Popovich is listening on the court.
This made it difficult for the Spurs players present to cooperate in the game.
Although they also know how to cooperate with each other, they are not as good as they were during the Troika period.
Li Feng asked Simmons to look at his eyes and movements, and Simmons nodded immediately.
In this game, most of the 76ers players have a strong interest in beating the Spurs.
Now in this team, the two players with a certain weight are Embiid and Li Feng!
Embiid, on the other hand, has little involvement in organizing the team because he has to consider defense, rebounding and other tasks.
He can only briefly double-team his opponents under the basket with his teammates.
He still struggled with the rest of the things.
Olajuwon II's strengths are defense and scoring at the basket.
The game came back immediately, Parker dribbled very slowly, and then he suddenly passed the ball to Gasol.
The latter jumped up and hit a 2-pointer before Roberto could react!
Then Li Feng quickly rushed to the frontcourt, and Simmons ran quickly after receiving his pass!
But DeRozan immediately rushed in front of him and defended Simmons in less than 5 seconds!
Then Parker didn't run a few steps after getting the ball, he jumped up and hit a three-pointer!
He and Ginobili are both experienced veterans.
While off the court, he discussed with Ginobili how to deal with today's opponent.
The suggestion given by Yaodao is that the main theme of this game is to see which team has a better rhythm.
The players are all pretty much the same, so that’s the main thing to look at.
Parker feels the same way.
His main job in the team is to be a point guard, so now that Parker is on the court, his job is to regain the Spurs' rhythm.
Their team has been constantly adjusting and adjusting over the past few seasons.
Simmons accidentally saw Kuzma being called over by Coach Brown.
His heart beat faster immediately!
This is the rhythm to replace him!
Bayless got the basketball at this time, and Simmons directly entangled with DeRozan.
Simmons felt a little desperate.
It seems that today's game may not be dominated by himself. DeRozan is very strong both offensively and defensively!
At this time, Bayless was entangled by Parker!
I was able to get past Parker twice, but he was discovered in time and defended both times!
In the end, Bayles had no choice but to ask Li Feng for help.
The latter got the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Simmons.
Facing DeRozan's defense, Simmons finally chose to pass the ball to Embiid. In the end, Embiid was blocked by Aldridge and Gasol!
Gasol got the rebound, DeRozan received the ball and rushed directly to the frontcourt. In the fierce pursuit of Simmons, he finally scored with a one-handed dunk!
Coach Brown directly called for a timeout!
Simmons was so angry that he threw his arm hard. After hearing what his team coach said, he lowered his head and nodded and walked back.
Popovich: “Kuzma’s is really good!
And Li Feng, you should also pay more attention. This team is playing against us now."
Ginobili nodded at this time and then took off his jacket.
While warming up, Popovich continued to exhort them.
When Parker saw that Yao Dao was about to play, he immediately grinned and patted his shoulder.
Ginobili took the tactical board from the assistant coach's hand nonchalantly.
When the old man saw it, he immediately motioned for everyone to see the arrangement of the "Demon Sword Coach".
Then Ginobili squatted down and began to assign tasks to his team...
Brown: "The opponent's players under the basket are also very flexible defensively, so I ask you to make as few mistakes as possible.
The opponent's condition has improved now. If he cannot suppress it, we will turn it into a training match within the team.
We won’t be able to fight them later.”
Simmons sat on the edge of the bench with some suffocation, watching coach Brown carefully arrange the tactics.
On the defensive end, the 76ers may not be able to match the Spurs.
Their defense has always been good, so Coach Brown's idea is to improve the team's scoring ability in the next games.
Since I can’t guard you, let’s compete with you on the score!
When the game came back, Brown's heart sank immediately after seeing Ginobili come on the court.
Kuzma brought the ball to the frontcourt, and then met the strong DeRozan.
Using his own rhythm to quickly avoid DeRozan, Kuzma decisively passed the ball to Li Feng.
Then Li Feng began to attract the attention of Parker and Yaodao, who were still wary at first.
But as the 24 seconds approached, both of them came closer!
At this time, Li Feng passed the ball directly!
Saric caught the ball with quick eyes and hands and immediately jumped up and hit a three-pointer!
14:10! The game came back again, and the 76ers' offensive ability suddenly improved a lot.
Popovich nodded on the sidelines, Brown's arrangement was correct.
When there are no major flaws in the tactical arrangements and thinking of both sides, it all depends on the performance of their respective players on the field!
Now for the 76ers, Saric is relatively stable in mid-range shooting.
And Kuzma is a rookie who has performed pretty well this season.
Saric has a high IQ! And Kuzma is a player with very good awareness!
After Ginobili got the basketball, he immediately rushed to the frontcourt, broke through and then decisively scored the ball!
Parker caught the ball in the corner and hit a three-pointer!
Bayless got the basketball, and Li Feng caught the ball and passed the ball directly to Kuzma.
The latter also hit a three-pointer without being defended!
The Spurs missed a shot, and Philadelphia decisively hit another three-pointer! This time it was Li Feng who hit the three-pointer!
He and Kuzma swapped roles, and Kuzma got an assist and a three-pointer!
...
26:24! The Spurs only have 2 points more than the 76ers, and the two sides have entered the second quarter.
The lineups of both teams remain unchanged for this quarter!
In order to suppress his opponents, Popovich feels that such a lineup is still very good!
The competition is organized by Yaodao and Parker!
At the same time, DeRozan and Ginobili can swap positions!
While improving the team's flexibility, it also provides good protection on the defensive end!
Kuzma also began to pay attention at this time! He found that almost everyone in the Spurs was like him...
Especially Ginobili and Parker, their performance on the court is too flexible, right?
In this regard, Li Feng and Bayless also had a brief exchange.
To be continued...
