Chapter 560: Twenty-two Consecutive Victories!
The Spurs' version of the "Death Five" came up and stunned the grizzly bears!
In less than two minutes, an 11:0 attack wave!
It's unimaginable!
At least, the Grizzlies never expected the Spurs' roster to have such power.
Therefore, the grizzly bear hurriedly shouted a timeout, and it would be more complete if he didn't pause for a while.
You know, now the grizzlies are almost twenty points behind in an instant! That's a bigger score than the biggest difference they've been chasing for so long!
It was really hard work for many years, and once I returned to the pre-liberation period.
"What kind of lineup is that, Spurs!" On the Grizzlies bench, everyone on the Grizzlies team, who had such destructive power and looked so weird for the first time, cursed.
It's like two people making an appointment to play a western cowboy duel together, one pulls out a revolver, the other pulls out a bundle of burning sticks, and the one with the revolver is about to laugh at the one with the burning stick, only to find out that the bundle of burning sticks is actually a modified Gatling!
The Grizzlies have no choice but to let the main players return to the court, and if they don't play the main team, they will probably be killed by the Spurs.
The Grizzlies played the main game, and the Spurs were still "five small" and did not make substitutions.
This is also a miscalculation by the Grizzlies, Gasol Jr. and Randolph, both of whom are heavier and slower, to let the two of them play, and then go to chase the Spurs on the defensive end of the five fast ones, which is simply suicide!
Although on the offensive end, Randolph and Gasol have a lot of lethality on the inside, and it is impossible for Qin Yan to block the attack of these two people alone.
But the Spurs feel that it doesn't matter, the time for Gasol and Randolph to attack once is enough for the Spurs to launch two attacks! In the same amount of time, the Spurs' offense was much more efficient.
The philosophy of the Spurs' five-man lineup is as follows:
You take two points? No problem, we attack once and it's three points, or we score two goals to make you score a goal on the inside, depending on how you chase it!
But Gasol Jr. and Randolph are not completely useless, at least if they are on the court, the defensive pressure brought by the Grizzlies to the Spurs on the inside line will increase in vain!
In particular, Gasol Jr. is guarding under the basket, making it difficult for the Spurs' small lineup to break through inside, and Randolph's fat meat can block the road on one side at any time.
The Grizzlies thought that in this way, even if they were as strong as the Spurs, they could only shoot more from the outside, and if they kept shooting from the outside, the shooting percentage would definitely drop.
But the Grizzly Bear forgot one thing, there is a person on the Spurs' side who cannot be estimated by common sense, and that is Qin Yan!
Qin Yan is not an ordinary person, after he went crazy, he was afraid.
Especially the kind of long-distance three-point shot, Tony Allen has followed Qin Yan to the three-point line at a distance of two or three steps, but Qin Yan should shoot or shoot, even if Tony Allen has been sealed on his face, he can still score!
So in the fourth quarter, under the leadership of Qin Yan, the Spurs pitchers found opportunities to fire on the outside!
And the Spurs' outside shooting rate is really not low, probably because they successfully brought the rhythm of the game into their favorite rhythm, and it can be clearly seen that the Spurs are taking the Grizzlies away!
"Kenny, have you ever imagined this tactic?" Barkley was already in shock form in the fourth quarter, and he has not been very fond of shooting three-point shots, believing that this style of play is soft.
But the five Spurs, although they are also three-point projections, and they also break through from time to time, but the sense of oppression they give people is not something that ordinary three-point teams can have, and Barkley even has an illusion that even if he is at his peak, he has to kneel when he encounters such an unreasonable style of play.
"Never thought about ......it" Kenny Smith was also shocked and speechless, he was a famous three-point player back then, but he never thought that one day a team could have five three-pointers who would break through on the court at the same time, and then take turns to serve the opponent with three-pointers and breakthroughs, and the speed was still so fast!
When the fourth quarter began, Barkley and Kenny Smith thought that the Spurs had stolen the Suns' Kombat Whirlwind, but looking at it, they really thought it was so powerful, Popovich's move, so powerful!
Of course, Qin Yan wouldn't tell them that this move was actually created by the later three-point Warriors, but Qin Yan used it in advance, and it was a five-small lineup after Popovich's improvement, and the power was even higher!
Naturally, this tactic is even more powerful than the Suns' original fast fight whirlwind!
In fact, the Spurs occasionally used this tactic last year, but it was only a prototype at the time. However, because the cooperation of the team members is not high, and Qin Yan and others are not mature enough, this set of tactics was not very amazing last year.
And this year, with the progress of Qin Yan, Leonard and others, and the improvement of cooperation, the power of this set of tactics is also more powerful!
The Grizzlies are tragic, they are the first time they have been used by the Spurs to experiment with new tactics, or the first time they have been used by the Spurs' new tactics to sacrifice the flag!
The result is naturally reasonable, the Grizzlies, who did not adapt to this style of play, were beaten by the Spurs in the fourth quarter, and when the whistle blew, the Grizzlies did not stay on the court for a moment, and "escaped" into the players' tunnel.
"Win!"
Unlike the Grizzlies, the Spurs are as happy as the New Year, winning 22 in a row! Spurs' longest winning streak in years!
Twenty-two wins in a row! This also tied the record of the rocket that year!
The Spurs players hugged each other and celebrated, and they didn't expect that they would be able to enjoy such a long streak one day!
Especially Maddie, Maddie is now smiling like a child, and there are obviously a lot of emotions in his eyes, naturally remembering the experience of the year, this is the second time in his life that he has experienced twenty-two consecutive wins, and this time, he may also experience twenty-three, twenty-four, or even more consecutive wins!
And last year, before entering the Spurs, Maddie couldn't imagine that he would have the opportunity to experience such a thing again!
From today onwards, the most glorious thing about him is that in addition to the championship, "35.13 seconds", 22 consecutive wins, there may be an even longer winning streak.
"Congratulations, Tracy! It's the second time! ”
"Yes, Tracy! You can't be so excited, it's your second time, it's our first time. ”
……
The heartwarming thing about the Spurs is that the whole team is the same as a family, no, when I saw Maddie's expression, I was very emotional, and they all came up to congratulate him, after all, Maddie has proved with his actions that he is a very good teammate, not a thigh-hugging teammate.
Popovich and Qin Yan and others also hugged each other, to be honest, Popovich was also very happy, after all, the Spurs only need to win one more game to break the Rockets' record and become the team with the most consecutive wins in the new century!
Moreover, the success of this new set of tactics is due to Popovich, which will bring him one step closer to the path of a legendary manager!
It's a great thing to create a new way of playing!
Qin Yan is also happy for his coach, as for Mr. Steve Cole, the genuine founder of this set of tactics, ahem, there is no way, I can only say sorry!
In short, the Spurs have honorably completed a 22-game winning streak, and there is a good chance that they will continue to win!
Go Spurs go!
