Chapter 579: Three people are weak in defense

Xie Hou, who scored 8 consecutive points after the opening game, suddenly stopped scoring momentum.

Many times, such a situation occurs, he doesn't want to score, but it's not the case tonight. The Spurs' targeted defense has stopped his momentum.

Like a water tap that is shut down.

After half a quarter, the Spurs led the Pacers by 4 points 14-10.

After Xie Hou ceased the fire, the Pacers only scored 2 points. They had many strong players, but those who were familiar with them knew that once there was a problem with the backbone, the whole team would have problems.

"What the Pacers need to improve most is the issue of how Arthur maintains attack after being restricted."

"Maybe they didn't even think that Arthur would be restricted."

At that time, the Spurs replaced Ginobili, who was obviously the starting lineup in any team, but condescending to play as a substitute.

This happened in early January this year. In order to maintain the vitality of the substitute, Popovich made Ginobili a substitute. It is said that Ginobili was particularly satisfied with this arrangement and told reporters that he had finally waited for this day.

Letting Ginobili play as a substitute is not a relegation, but a distributor.

Ginobili is the only creator of the Spurs except Duncan and Parker - perhaps the best creator.

Popovich let him lead the second team, supporting the team alone when Parker and Duncan are away. He was equipped with Elson to play pick-and-roll, and he was equipped with shooters so that he could feed the ball. Ginobili, 29, began to reduce the unsolved snake-shaped breakthroughs in the league, replaced with clean jumps. He grabbed more letter boards than in previous years and sent more wonderful assists—the price was breakthroughs, free throws and scored drops.

A player as smart as Ginobili, he quickly adapted to this arrangement.

The Spurs have since become a unique team.

In the first game of the finals, Ginobili came on the bench, and the energy and firepower he brought made the Pacers' second team unable to withstand it.

In one quarter and four minutes, Ginobili led the Spurs to lead the Pacers 40-29 in the second team and 11 points.

His active, aggressive game prevented Claire from giving Sherhou more rest.

After playing the first quarter, I only had four minutes of rest before going back to play again.

The same as Xie Hou were Espanyol Rodriguez, who was all-out defense but had excessive effects and Wang Zhizhi, who was timid on the defensive end, made heavy blows on the offensive end.

On the court, Jeff Foster, who is a blue-collar worker who is excellent in all aspects but cannot control the number of fouls.

With such a lineup, their biggest priority is not to pay attention to defense.

Claire was determined to break the restrictions given by the Spurs to Xie Hou. If these people were the Spurs, the Spurs would seek death if they played the contraction of the defense line.

Seeing the Pacers replace Xie Hou, the Spurs immediately took Bowen.

The Spurs have first-class tactical qualities, including Bowen and Duncan on the outside, which can almost be regarded as the team that Xie Hou is the least easy to beat.

But they are not fine. Their problem is that they have first-class books and extremely lack of lineup depth.

Apart from Bowen and Kreza, there is no one who can compete with Xie Hou. Look at how many people the Knights have prepared to deal with Xie Hou. That is called professionalism.

As soon as Bao Wen came on the stage, he met Xie Hou who was planning to release all his firepower.

The first quarter is already a past tense. Xie Hou dribbled the ball from the backcourt to the right side of the frontcourt, changed directions, and his movements were sharp and the amplitude was large. Such an offense could not be defended with normal means.

Bao Wen was quickly shaken away by Xie Hou half of his body. When he turned around and leaned on Xie Hou, the ball had already flew out of his palm.

Swish!

31 to 40

Bao Wen couldn't hold on to Xie Hou, so he could only do some small movements on his lower limbs.

Xie Hou felt the malice from the soles of his feet, and Bao Wen wanted to cushion him.

"If you forget how many pleasant things happened to us last time, I can help you recall them." Xie Hou avoided Bowen's footsteps and said with a smile as if nothing had happened.

Bao Wen felt a cold wind blowing behind his head. How could he forget it?

But it was the old man's order to prevent Xie Hou at all costs, and he could not disobey.

Ginobili slapped the ball in front of Xie Hou.

Xie Hou became a model worker and filled wherever he needed it.

Claire dared not let Rodriguez or Vujasic defend Ginobili, and his poor arrangement may allow Ginobili to perform better than the finals of 05 against the Pistons.

Ginobi Lilly is freer than the rest of the Spurs.

Only he can play like this - he fights Xie Hou alone, he doesn't stop the ball at all, changes direction at the top of the arc, and the amazing tendency to break through force Xie Hou to defend and retreat. When he confirmed that Xie Hou's defense could not threaten his shot, he slowly retreated and stepped into the three-point line - did he believe Xie Hou couldn't react or just wanted to anger? Oh, there seems to be no difference - shoot an accurate three-pointer.

Everyone looked into the sky.

Ginobili's three-pointer is like a stone put into his pocket, not hollow, and it is not neat to enter. The ball rolls around the net and then falls to the ground.

43 to 31

"The Argentinian reminds me of Oscar Robertson and Earl Monroe." McGuinness is fully qualified to say that.

He grew up watching Big O's games and was a player of the same generation as Pearl.

He described Ginobili's game as they did, for the reason: "They have their own rhythm of the game, look at him, and look at others, and you will feel like they are playing two different kinds of sports."

McGuinness has hacked many players, and Ginobili is the first foreign player to receive serious praise after he changed his sex career.

From this point of view, the Argentinians are proud.

Not long after Ginobili completed the beautiful single-handed three-pointer, it took about ten seconds to pass, Xie Hou and Wang Zhizhi played the pick-and-roll.

The Spurs were disgusting Xie Hou's determination was so great that they could ignore Wang Zhizhi, the Pacers' player with the highest three-point shooting percentage.

What a bunch of idiots!

Xie Hou cursed in his heart, and then passed the ball to Lao Wang without looking at the one hand.

Wang Zhizhi aimed and shot the basket, his beautiful hand shape and soft feel, how could he be wrong?

34 to 43

"It's irrational to empty the high-tech turret with a three-point shooting percentage of 43%. Xie Hou mocked his opponents.

Ginobili said he would continue to play in the next round.

Xie Hou was almost so angry that he pressed him tightly on the spot after hearing this.

The Spurs continued to defend so much, and Xie Hou's pass was enough to break the deadlock, which was a bit of an impact on his game experience.

Just imagine, he could have used his personal ability to show the whole game, but most teams dare not adopt such a strategy because his pass is really deadly.

It's not a joke that people who average 12 assists per game in the regular season are not willing to risk being defended by Xie Hou and activated his teammates. The Spurs are willing, they really believe that they can defend against Xie Hou. If his teammates just don't feel the touch, it's a perfect restriction.

If a teammate has a touch? Keep your confidence unshakable and continue to defend. Even if he is beaten to death by his teammate, it will make Xie Hou unhappy.

Looking at the arrangement, Claire had enough reason to suspect that Popovich had learned from his teacher Larry Brown.

Xie Hou had three major weaknesses in the early stage: poor physical strength, unstable long-range shooting, and "bad temper".

Four years later, his physical strength was trained by Claire, and his long shot was accumulated through countless sweat thrown in the gym. It was this temper, and there was no change.

At the age of 27, he is still competitive and is often influenced by his personal emotions.

Letting Xie Hou fall into negative emotions is still a good way to deal with him.

The Spurs' gameplay that makes you feel disgusted even if you can't beat him. It is the easiest way to make Xie Hou angry.

Claire believed that Popovich must have had a lot of phone calls with Brown. In terms of experience in dealing with Xie Hou, few coaches can compare with Brown.

With the personal relationship between Popovich and Brown, this is entirely possible.

So, has Xie Hou been affected?

Claire saw Ginobili's attack of left back and turning to the right, and Xie Hou saw through. Xie Hou blocked the demon sword's cutting route. The Argentine took the risk to put the ball away and passed it backwards. If Bowen was not standing outside, he would have made a mistake.

It seems that it has not been affected yet.

Outside the arc top three-point line, Bowen seems to be Rajon Rondo a few years later and Ben Simmons in the future.

The attitude of the Pacer is that you can invest and we will lose if you take the lead.

Bao Wen really dared not to shoot, dribbling to the free throw line in front of everyone. His courage is admirable, and it is even more admirable that he still doesn't make any moves after trying hard. Since it is the same result, why bother?

Bowen missed the shot, which caused the disgusting effect of Xie Hou grabbing the defensive rebound and unreasonably penetrated the whole game, stepped into the free throw line and jumped into the basket and dunked in two steps.

Such explosive power and talent are the things that the Spurs lack the most.

They have experience and skills, discipline and patience, but they do not have the unsolvable talent to ignore these four points.

Young Duncan used to have it, but that was when he was young.

He has long been past the age of showing off his talent.

36 to 43

Xie Hou's momentum is about to start, and Popovich decisively called for a stop to the game.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Pacers' pursuit was strong, and the Spurs changed back to the main force, and the Pacers politely replaced Foster with O'Neal Jr.

The defense was weak and the three - Rodriguez, Vujasic and Wang Zhizhi were still on the court.

The test lineup looks easy, but it takes courage to stick to it.

Claire is not short of courage. He has never been afraid since his subordinates had Xie Hou.

He has nothing to be afraid of when he has everything.

The Spurs were not all the main players, and power forward Oberto was replaced by Robert Horry. Then, they bullied the Pacers' defense and played a shiny cooperation.

Ginobili passed the ball. Parker and Duncan and were covered by Xie Hou's long arms after breaking through the pick-and-roll. Bowen had to pass the ball to Bowen who was outside. Bowen then flicked from Ginobili who slipped out of the outside. No one knew how he stuffed the ball to Horry at that position. The most exciting thing was that Horry got the ball and rushed into the basket, but handed it to Duncan at the basket before taking action.

Finally ended by Duncan.

"The Spurs' wonderful pass-through ball ruined the Pacers' defense. They passed at least four passes in this round but did not choose to attack. I don't know whether they are showing off their tacit understanding or testing the Pacers' patience - are teams with poor defense without dignity? They are going to be trampled by you like this?" McGuinness did not forget his old profession, and even the home team players had to say a few words.

Fans who are used to listening to his opponents suddenly heard that he was connoting his own team, not only did they not feel unhappy but were amused.

He was right, if the defense is bad, it will be trampled on.

The defense is weak, have you heard it?
