Chapter 235: Quick transformation, the Spurs become a three-point team!

Wang Yan gave his teammates an order: "Everyone, go to the outside, and leave the inside to TT and me!"

This is an extreme situation of the Cavaliers' defense and will not be used easily.

It was used occasionally in the game against the Warriors.

But today, facing the Spurs' three-point rain, we have to do this.

Popovich is indeed amazing. It only took him two years to go from being disgusted with three-pointers to vigorously developing the three-pointer tactic.

This shows that he is not a stubborn coach who follows the rules.

The Spurs' three-point rain just now was more terrifying than the Warriors. Everyone could shoot and make it!

Cavaliers attack.

Wang Yan passed the ball to Irving again under double-teaming by the opponent.

Irving missed the three-pointer just now and felt a little guilty.

But Wang Yan is just like that. He will inspire the confidence of his teammates from every detail.

Sure enough, Irving was very moved when he saw that Wang Yan still passed the ball to him.

A scholar dies for a confidant!

Irving’s confidence increased and he took decisive action again!
Swish!
He has a big heart and he withstood the pressure and made a three-pointer!

The Spurs attack.

Ginobili advanced to the frontcourt, played a pick-and-roll with Belinelli, and then took advantage of the moment when the Cavaliers switched defense to let Belinelli shoot.

It seems that the Spurs have used this trick a lot in their usual training, and it is very smooth.

In this parallel world, Belinelli has never won the three-point contest because of Wang Yan.

But his three-point shooting ability is objective.

If Belinelli takes the shot, there is a high probability that he will hit it.

At the moment Belinelli made the shot, Wang Yan, who was guarding the penalty area, suddenly appeared in front of him.

Snapped!
A big hat!
Belinelli felt a black screen in front of his eyes and the ball was gone.

Wang Yan's block was not very powerful and just hit the front court.

After the block, Wang Yan strode across the frontcourt, grabbed the ball, dribbled once, and then took a three-step shot.

boom!
A practical slam dunk and two points.

Popovich was watching on the sidelines, the flesh on his face twitched, and he knew something bad was going to happen.

The entire Cavaliers team was rushing to the outside, making it difficult for the Spurs to get open opportunities.

Even if he plays inside again at this time, it will be difficult because Wang Yan's defensive range is too large.

In the next few rounds, although Ginobili was flexible and tried to find open space through various tactics, the Cavaliers' perimeter defense was impenetrable.

After all, it is a team that has won two consecutive championships, and its defense is indeed top-notch.

There is a saying that goes, dominance in the regular season depends on offense, while dominance in the playoffs depends on defense.

As long as the Cavaliers take it seriously, their defensive efficiency will be among the best in the league.

The scores of both sides began to be deadlocked again, and the Cavaliers' offensive efficiency also declined under the Spurs' tight defense.

After all, the Spurs' defense is also top-notch in the league.

Irving and Butler's shooting percentage was actually not high under the Spurs' defense.

第四节还剩1分41秒，比分来到102:100，骑士领先2分。

Popovich called a timeout to make final tactical arrangements.

Although the Cavaliers are leading, the situation is not optimistic. The Spurs have a balanced offense and defense, which puts great pressure on the Cavaliers.

If Wang Yan hadn't made two consecutive shots and scored 5 points, the Cavaliers would have fallen behind.

Scott simply stopped talking and let Wang Yan explain tactics to his teammates.

"Brothers, you will cover each other and find open space for yourselves. If someone is open, pass the ball to him decisively. If I can shoot, I will shoot by myself!" This is the Cavaliers' tactical arrangement, which is vague and random every time.

Because the situation on the court is ever-changing, even if the tactics you design are perfect, there is a high probability that you will encounter unexpected situations.

Many fans' tactics at the last minute always end in failure because they don't know how to adapt.

Most of the Cavaliers' tactics are successful because they are not just one tactic. Wang Yan will respond quickly according to the situation on the field!
However, the Spurs have strong tactical execution and succeed almost every time.

This is thanks to Popovich's almost military management style.

It can be said that except for Ginobili, everyone on the Spurs must resolutely implement tactics.

Even Ginobili cannot act completely freely and must operate within the framework of Popovich's tactics.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Spurs' lineup is Dio, Leonard, Danny Green, Ginobili and Belinelli.

My goodness, even Duncan is not allowed to play.

This shows that Popovich is determined to carry out the three-point strategy to the end.

This is the Spurs' basketball. Whoever is needed will be put on the field, regardless of team status or whether they are the main players or substitutes.

The Cavaliers' defense still follows Wang Yan's arrangement, which is to focus on defending the outside line, and the inside line is left to TT and Wang Yan.

Ginobili dribbled at the top of the arc and Butler went to defend.

Dio went to the high post and blocked Butler. After breaking up, Ginobili faced TT.

At this time, Dio has a height advantage against Butler.

Ginobili immediately passed the ball to Dio, letting him play against the smaller player!
Dio arched his back twice and was about to rush into the penalty area when Sims suddenly abandoned Leonard and double-teamed Dio.

Such is the Cavaliers' defensive mobility.

But Dio was not panicking, because Dio was not a strong scorer, he just had the ability to score.

Another ability of his that is also very prominent in the Spurs is the ability to assist and distribute the ball.

Seeing the opponent double-teaming him, Dio kept his eyes open and immediately passed the ball without looking at anyone, whoosh!
Passed to Leonard who was in an open position.

Leonard's shooting was not that stable during this period, so he rushed to the basket immediately.

Just when he rushed to the basket, TT followed up and blocked his shot!
Snapped!
Too brutal.

The ball was fanned directly out of the baseline and Leonard sat on the ground.

The referee didn't react, meaning it was a good hat trick.

Popovich yelled angrily on the sidelines, but the referee remained unmoved.

The Spurs served the ball from the baseline with only 3.2 seconds left on the offensive clock.

Danny Green passed the sideline ball to Dio, after all, he was the tallest in the lineup.

Just as Dio was about to make a move, he discovered that the person standing in front of him was Wang Yan.

His head was buzzing and he knew the situation was bad, so he had to drift and make a fadeaway shot.

But Dio's jumping height was too low, and he was not as tall as Wang Yan, so Wang Yan easily confiscated the ball.

That’s right, it’s not a block, but just grab the ball directly!

Dio reacted quickly. He didn't let Wang Yan launch a quick attack directly. Instead, he hugged Wang Yan hurriedly.

Send Wang Yan to the free throw line.

At the critical moment, how could Wang Yan let down his guard?

Steady two free throws!
The Spurs' tactics not only failed to score, but also allowed Wang Yan to easily get two points. The Cavaliers were already leading by 4 points.

104:100
There was only 1 minute and 18 seconds left in the game.

The Spurs must score in this round, otherwise they will lose.

Popovich must have another trick up his sleeve. He made a special gesture on the sidelines, and Ginobili nodded, understanding what he meant.
