Chapter 665: The pit dug by the main force is filled by substitutes
During the break in the first quarter, there was silence on the Spurs bench.
Nest, too nest, throughout the first quarter, the Spurs were pressed and beaten by the Mavericks, as if the Mavericks were the first in the league and the Spurs were the eighth in the West.
Qin Yan and Leonard, the Spurs have always been very proud of the outside duo, in the first quarter, two people actually took a 36-year-old man There is no way, no matter who defends, people can score!
6 out of 7 in a single quarter! This hit rate can be said to make Qin Yan and Leonard's faces dull, which basically belongs to the kind of rubbing on the ground......
And Duncan and Whiteside, one is a young man, the other is old and strong, and the two of them can't stop Nowitzki, who is super god in the first quarter, and they just keep the golden rooster independent, and the golden rooster independent...... Then he blew up the Spurs' interior combination for a long time.
In the first quarter of the Mavericks' 38 points, Marion and Nowitzki combined for a total of 30 points! You must know that the Spurs scored 30 points in the first quarter! The two of them are equivalent to a team of Spurs!
Shame, shame, there's nothing more humiliating than this.
Popovich looked at the main force who didn't speak, and the idea of scolding was suddenly gone.
Indeed, the main reason why the first quarter was like that was really not on these teammates.
It's not that these five guys are on the field, playing blindly, and finally being counterattacked by the opponent, but all five of them have completed their respective defensive tasks perfectly, but the opponent can score, and some goals that are impossible to score in Popovich's cognition have scored, which gives him something to say.
Now Popovich has a bit of the feeling that other teams often encounter when they play their own teams, and his own Qin Yan is the one who throws all kinds of impossible goals from time to time, and often makes the opponent's head coach smash the tactical board.
It's just that he hasn't played yet, and someone on the other side of the calf has done it first, and it's not alone......
"Five up and five down in the second quarter." Popovich felt that the main players needed to calm down, and he directly decided to go to a new lineup.
Since the main players are not in good shape, then let the substitutes go up and try it, maybe the substitutes will play better than the main team.
"Don't worry, everyone, I will avenge you, just sit on the bench and watch the performance." Dio, as a substitute general, immediately became excited when he heard the coach's five-up and five-down strategy, and he was very embarrassed to squeeze his eyebrows at the five main forces.
If this was in normal times, Dio would have been violently suppressed by someone who had been united and violently suppressed by someone like this, how could he dare to be so angry, but today because the main forces really can't play well, no one will go to Dio.
At the beginning of the second quarter, after the Spurs went up and down five times, the lineup became Maddy, Ginobili, Green, Dior and Split, the standard one big and four small.
This is the Spurs' regular second lineup, to be honest, this lineup is no worse than the main lineup of some teams, if everyone in this lineup is in their prime, then this lineup to be honest, it is definitely a lineup that can compete for the championship, and Maddie and Ginobili in the backcourt must be the best backcourt combination!
The Mavericks also adjusted, Nowitzki, Marion, and Harris went down to rest, and Calderon, Claude, and Bonnard came up.
I have to say that the lineup of the Mavericks this year is a real vegetable, the main force is not to mention, and the substitutes are even more unreliable, who are the people who are this change, except for Calderón who can see a little bit, the rest are all 10,000-year-old water cooler administrators.
No wonder Ellis doesn't go down, if Ellis also goes down, this lineup won't be able to play, who will play the main force? Calderón?
On the Spurs' side, Maddie controls the ball, and Calderon is considered a heavy point guard among ordinary point guards, but it is still light compared to Maddy, so he can only retreat slowly.
Split came out of the interior and blocked Maddy, Damon Porter followed, he directly switched defenses with Calderon, and Maddie was directly one-on-one with Damon Porter after the pick-and-roll.
Seeing that it was Damon Porter, Maddie smiled, and then quickly changed direction in front of her, and the cat was about to slip past Damon Porter!
Damon Porter really wants to cover Maddie, but after all, he is old and slow, although Maddie's current speed is not at its peak, but it is still very easy to pass Damon Porter.
Two steps past Damon Porter, Maddie soared into the air with the ball in one hand and scored the ball with a light pick!
"Retreat!"
Ginobili ordered everyone to retreat the moment Maddie scored, and the Spurs were indeed the same as the army.
Ellis asked Calderon for the ball, but Calderon didn't dare not give it, after all, the biggest name on the court for the Mavericks is Ellis now.
Holding the ball to accelerate the breakthrough, Ellis plans to eat Ginobili strongly, anyway, Ginobili's defense is only in the middle, in the case of speed loss, Ellis is really sure to eat Ginobili!
Sure enough, Ginobili was really old, and as soon as the speed of the sideways movement was slow, he was directly passed by Ellis! Take three steps and get ready for a layup!
Split was now sitting under the basket, and when he saw Ellis coming straight at him, his heart was also on fire.
Okay Ellis, I didn't see you break through so much when Whiteside was there in the first quarter, and now I'm coming up and you're so sudden, what do you mean? Do you think I'm a bully?
Immediately Split stepped forward and jumped high at Ellis, he vowed to cover Ellis's ball!
Ellis has the strength of this person, this ball Split is very fierce, Ellis did not come hard, twisted his waist in the air, a beautiful turn, he dodged Split's block, turned his back to the basket, and his backhand was a layup!
"Smack!"
But the layup didn't go in as he expected, and a familiar voice told Ellis that he was blocked.
It's Maddie! At the moment when Ellis jumped, Maddie abandoned Calderon and rushed from the other side, he concluded that Ellis would never pass the ball, and because of the blind spot in his sight, Ellis did not notice that Maddie was coming towards him.
With a cap off the ball, Maddie quickly controlled the ball and then threw the ball hard to the frontcourt!
There, there's already a figure waiting!
It's Green! As Maddie rushed back, Green's sixth sense told him that the ball would definitely be blocked, and then Green left Crowder alone and rushed to the Mavericks halfcourt by himself.
No, after Madigai dropped the ball, he immediately made a long pass, and the running Green came to the three-point line when he received the ball, and there was not much nonsense, Green directly pulled it up and made a three-point shot!
I'm a 3-and-D player for Spurs! If you don't shoot three points at this time, when will you shoot?
"Uhhh
Three-point shot! Green still held the posture of his hand, and his hand was as beautiful as a swan!
The Spurs' benches quickly recovered 5 points as soon as they came up!
What is a strong team? The team that mainly digs the pit and fills the substitute is the real strong team!
