Chapter 782 The good show is about to begin

Since Leonard was beaten three times, the Spurs became cautious. They were worried that the former would be four times, so the defensive end made him only responsible for one side without having to cover everything.

Originally, Leonard needed to consider all possibilities, but now, he only needs to defend Wei Xia's shot.

On the other side, the Spurs' three-point rain suddenly started.

Green ran a hammer tactic to attract and defend, and passed it to Duncan.

Duncan's appearance of trying to attack the basket was actually just a confusing trick, and his real purpose was not here.

But Duncan's approach attracted a lot of attention for the Spurs. When he transferred the ball to Parker at the top of the arc, the 76ers continued to defend and rotate, and finally missed Leonard on the other side.

Leonard made a three-pointer from the left wing outside.

47 to 48, the Spurs were still behind by 1 point.

However, the situation is no longer like before. Wei Xia's single-handed fight in the frontcourt, and the middle distance was affected by Leonard's long arm. He missed the iron and the Spurs completed the counterattack.

49 to 48

Cousins ​​hit a ball in time.

His offense started from the right wing and dribbled through. Duncan didn't expect that he had the courage to rush in regardless of the people under the basket, and even made him beat him.

Cousins ​​rushed in with the ball and fucked the basket with both hands.

50 to 49

The Spurs were also not ruthless, and Parker passed a difficult lob to Duncan.

When Duncan took the ball, he blocked Cousins ​​behind him. Then, the ball was raised from his hand and gently placed into the basket.

The philosophy of keeping high and fighting high is forever.

There are two inside players who have made the most significant advantage in history, one is Chamberlain and the other is Kareem. Especially the former, even if he doesn't look at Chamberlain's beast-level athletic talent, his height and arms are the level of a phoenix standing in the whole 1960s. Even if he doesn't jump and hold the ball high, few people will be able to interfere. If he hadn't loved to turn over and shoot, and humbly like Bill Russell, he would have lost several of the championships.

Next, the 76ers' offensive opportunity hit Hayward's position, and the tactics were run beautifully, but they were not done well.

Hayward caught the ball and made a move.

Since the Eastern Conference Finals, Hayward's feel has been unstable, which is far from the first round and semi-finals.

The Spurs' counterattack did not come out, and Green made a long shot and actually made another shot.

The touch is hot, and it really does whatever you want.

54 to 50

One round and one round, the Spurs established a 4-point lead.

The 76ers wanted to fight back and continue their previous offensive firepower, because the Spurs' offensive was like a tide.

As a result, Rondo was released and he chose to shoot.

If he missed, his teammates caught the rebound and passed it to Wei Xia on one side.

Leonard was worried about the four fouls and his defense against Wei Xia was much more relaxed than before, so he actually gave Wei Xia an open position. Wei Xia inherited the touch of his teammates and missed a three-pointer.

The Spurs did not play fast attacks, so they took the initiative to slow down so that Duncan could keep up with the big army.

Big men who can keep up with the counterattack can always effectively use their size and height advantages to complete the end.

Duncan counterattacked, 56 to 50.

The 76ers showed no sign of ease in their touch. They were able to play tactics and had surprising tactical qualities. Although they were not as smooth as the Spurs, they could not be ignored.

However, no matter what kind of tactics you have, if you cannot seize the opportunity that comes out, the previous efforts will be useless.

Process is very important, but the result is the only indicator that determines whether the process is valuable.

The 76ers missed again, and the Spurs actually Duncan made a quick attack again.

Their transfer ball was effective, and Duncan's ball was in the paint area and collided with Cousins. Their figure was obviously much worse. Cousins ​​was young and strong, and he had to fight with all his strength. Old Deng acted like an unscrupulous old hooligan who was lying on the ground and let the referee whistle.

The referee blew the whistle immediately and Duncan got two free throws.

"I feel their state is returning, yes, they are all back!"

Sean Elliott breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's really a cold sweat, these guys."

Duncan scored only one free throw, and he lost the second goal. Dior and Hollins rushed together. He knew he couldn't grab it, but he didn't let Hollins grab it. He wisely put the ball out of bounds and went out of bounds.

The rebound was out of bounds, and although the ball was left to 76ers, their counterattack could not be hit, and the Spurs' goal was achieved.

57 to 50

The morale of the Spurs is getting higher and higher. After suffering continuous fouls and pincer attacks, Cousins ​​completely lost his game aggressiveness. According to the previous routine of the 76ers, the dual cores must each assume the responsibility of leading the team alone. But the situation tonight is that as long as Wei Xia ceases to fire or ends, the 76ers will lose the ability to put pressure on their opponents.

Rondo, who can usually connect the team, made many wrong decisions when his own shots were empty and completely failed.

If Lian Weixia suddenly couldn't find the feel, the crisis of 76 people would come.

That's what happened at the end of the first half.

The 76ers failed to score and were caught by the Spurs in a row, 67-54 in the first half, 13 points behind.

In the first half, Wei Xia played for 22 minutes.

So far this season, he has played so long in the first half.

This time arrangement does not conform to Jay Wright's usual style.

Wright is no longer the NCAA newcomer who will "forgot" to replace Wei Xia. He knows that the team must maintain competitiveness and the core players must be healthy. Otherwise, if Wei Xia and Cousins ​​have personal losses, they will encounter the Bulls like the Bulls who have clearly completed reconstruction, but have to start from scratch because of this shit-like bad luck.

Although Wei Xia is very resistant to playing, Wright has not been in full in all four seasons before, and he has not been the player with the most playing time in the league and the most pressure on offense and defense.

It is precisely because he is so resistant to fighting that he needs to protect himself.

He has to use his energy on meaningful things.

Perhaps today, it was the reason why Wright allowed him to accumulate energy for so long.

He has to pour out his energy on this special day.

"Wish, how do you adjust in the second half?"

Before Wei Xia walked into the player channel, the reporter put the microphone in front of him.

"Put the unscored ball into the ball, and try to make the Spurs miss more balls," Wei Xia said. "Only in this way can we turn the defeat into victory."

After saying that, he walked into the locker room.

In the locker room, Wright lost his temper: "We played like a mob without any game plan!"

He scolded Rondo, who cared too much about his opponent's emptying strategy and forgot the real accusation.

He also expressed his dissatisfaction with Cousins, giving Duncan 16 points and 7 rebounds in the first half. How could he have the face of the center?

"We must not surrender!" Wright then decided to start the second half.

Compared with the first half, the starting lineup in the second half was a huge change.

Nash, Weisha, Holiday, Hayward, Cousins.

To this day, Wright has upgraded his four-guard tactics to a more flexible and changeable 41 system.

This system may have four defenders, three forwards, or three tall swingers. What kind of lineup depends on the opponent.

Now that this lineup is set up, a lineup that can shoot in five positions is to create a court space.

If Weisha wants to fight alone, Nash, Hayward, and Odom can pull out a comfortable space.

Five minutes before the start of the second half, 76ers returned to the scene.

13 points is not a desperate number.

If their second half feels as bad as the first half, that is hopeless.

"We've seen changes for 76 people."

"Amazing change, they put Rajon Rondo on the bench and then let Gordon Hayward play the fourth position?"

The Spurs' home commentators were surprised by the changes in the 76ers one by one.

The 76ers didn't play the 41 system before, but they never played at the beginning of the first and second half.

"When the coach chooses this roster, I know we have to count on you."

Steve Nash said to Weisha in the backcourt.

"I'm honored." Wei Xia replied modestly.

Then, in the first leg of the second half, the ball belonged to the Spurs.

No one could have thought they would hand over their first offensive opportunity in the second half to Leonard.

Generally, they will give Duncan.

Because in the finals, Duncan will always take advantage of the ball when he is in the beginning and is full of energy.

He beat Cousins ​​again tonight, and it would be reasonable to play him at the beginning of the second half.

But when given to Leonard, from another perspective, it is definitely not unacceptable.
