I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 229 Challenge the No. [-] in the West
On March 3, the Warriors played away against the Spurs.

Before the game, Spurs head coach Popovich deliberately teased Sun Yi during an interview.

"Tonight's game will be very difficult. We will face the hot new star Sun Yi in the league. He has been in a very hot state recently, scoring 40+ consecutively. We have no way to limit his scoring. We can only pray that Sun Yi will show mercy."

In the locker room of the visiting team, Sun Yi laughed after watching Popovich's interview video.

This is a trick used by the old guy. He will not be fooled easily. He immediately cheered up and paid attention to tonight's game.

Not long after, Nelson led the coaching staff into the locker room, and then performed pre-game mobilization as usual, giving the players blood injections.

After everything was ready, the old Nelson waved his hand, led the Warriors players out of the locker room, and walked towards the playing field with arrogance.

When Sun Yi entered the court and saw Duncan and Ginobili sitting on the Spurs bench in casual clothes, he was extremely depressed.

He immediately understood that he had been tricked by Popovich.

This shameless old guy took a break again and put Duncan and Ginobili on the bench, leaving Parker to lead the team alone.

Although the Warriors let a Curry, the Spurs don't have to let Duncan and Ginobili.

Who is this looking down on? !

Moreover, this game is very important for the Spurs and is likely to affect their first place in the Western Conference. After all, they are only two games ahead of the No. 2 Mavericks.

Sun Yizhen doesn’t know what the Spurs coaching staff is thinking!

But in any case, it is undoubtedly good news for the Warriors that Duncan and Ginobili take turns.

After the pre-game warm-up activities, the game officially started.

The starting lineup sent by the Spurs is: Parker, Hill, Jefferson, McDyess, Blair.

The starting lineup sent by the Warriors is: Bledsoe, Tony Allen, Sun Yi, David Lee, Chandler.

In the jump ball session, Chandler took off vigorously and was the first to hit the basketball and return to the backcourt, giving the Warriors the first chance to attack.

Bledsoe dribbled quickly and passed the ball after coming to the frontcourt.

In the high area on the right, Sun Yi received the pass, faced Jefferson's defense, and made a three-threat action.

Jefferson did not dare to act rashly and stretched his arms to interfere and prevent Sun Yi from making a pull-up jumper.

Seeing this, Sun Yi raised his hand to fake a shot, shook Jefferson's center of gravity, quickly released the ball to break through, and made an emergency stop in the mid-range area on the right side to hit a jump shot.

The ball is switched and the Spurs attack.

Parker dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and made a tactical gesture, then controlled the ball and ran towards the 45° angle outside the three-point line on the right.

Jefferson, who was standing at a 45° angle outside the right three-point line, ran towards Parker at the same time.

At this time, Parker has two options. He can use a fake hand-off to confuse the Warriors, and then seize the opportunity to break through directly along the sideline; he can also pass the ball to Jefferson first, then quickly move without the ball, and then reach out Get the ball back.

At the same time, McDyess quickly stepped forward to set an off-ball screen for Jefferson.

Parker didn't find a good time to break through and immediately passed the ball to the top of the arc.

Jefferson, who got rid of the defense with the help of a screen, quickly ran to the top of the arc, received a pass from Parker, and hit a three-pointer.

Seeing the smooth cooperation of the Spurs, Sun Yi had to admit that the old guy Popovich had a few tricks.

Looking back, the Warriors attacked.

Sun Yi quickly ran to the mid-range area on the right, leaned against Jefferson to get in position, and then reached out for the ball.

Bledsoe lobs the ball over immediately, then runs off the ball quickly.

After Sun Yi received the ball, from the corner of his eye, he saw McDyess running towards him quickly, and immediately pushed back Jefferson behind him, turning over and throwing a jumper.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
At the basket, Chandler took advantage of his height and wingspan to pick the ball out.

David Lee near the free throw line grabbed the basketball and hit a mid-range jumper.

Immediately afterwards, the Spurs once again played tacit tactical cooperation.

Unfortunately, Hill missed a three-point shot from the outside and failed to complete this attack.

Sun Yi retreated into the penalty area to grab the rebound, quickly advanced towards the frontcourt, and launched a defensive counterattack.

Meanwhile, the rest of the Warriors quickly followed suit.

The Spurs players retreated quickly in an orderly manner, keeping an eye on their defenders.

Seeing that the fast break failed, Sun Yi immediately made a tactical gesture, dribbled slowly to a position 45° outside the left three-point line, and suddenly changed direction and moved towards the center.

David Lee and Chandler, who followed up at the same time, immediately set up two consecutive screens for Sun Yi.

Sun Yi bypassed the screen and went straight to the basket. After a physical confrontation with Blair who stepped forward to defend, Sun Yi made a tough layup.

It was the Spurs' turn to attack, and they played a double-screen tactic this round.

Parker quickly bypassed the screen and broke through to the front of the three-second zone, and immediately made a throw.

Chandler retreated to the basket and had no time to step forward to interfere. He could only watch the ball and sigh.

The basketball crashed into the net and made a steady hit!
In the first few rounds, the two teams fought back and forth, with no one taking advantage.

With the deepening of the game, the two sides strengthened the physical confrontation, which made the shooting percentage of the two teams drop.

About 7 minutes into the first quarter, the head coaches of both sides began to make substitution adjustments.

The Warriors replaced Bledsoe, David Lee and Chandler and replaced Moreau, Battier and A-Lian.

The Spurs replaced Hill, Jefferson and McDyess and replaced Gary Neal, Danny Green and Bonner.

Seeing Danny Green appearing on the field, Sun Yi wanted to suggest that the team trade him, but the team has Brewer, Morrow and others, so naturally there is no shortage of role players.

It's just that Popovich had such a good vision and traded Green in the cheapest way.

Back in the game, the Warriors served a baseline kick.

Sun Yi caught the ball and advanced quickly. After reaching the frontcourt, he waved to Ah Lian and called for pick-and-roll cooperation.

Ah Lian quickly stepped forward to cooperate with the pick-and-roll.

Although the quality of the Arab pick-and-roll was not high and he could not completely block Green, it was enough to take Blair out of the inside.

Bypassing the screen, Sun Yi rushed straight to the basket.

Danny Green, who squeezed through the screen, immediately moved laterally to block.

But at this stage, Green has not yet grown up, and his body is not strong enough to stop Sun Yi's footsteps at all.

Sun Yi's tank-style breakthrough ruthlessly crushed Kai Green, quickly rushed into the penalty area, soared into the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

In the next round, Parker used the cover of his teammates to break through to the basket and fly for a layup. He was interfered with and failed to hit.

The Warriors protected the rebound and immediately launched a defensive counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Sun Yi dribbled a bit, and seeing his teammate run away, he immediately passed the ball.

Morrow, who was about to get off the ball, received the pass, came to the right side of the three-point line and jumped directly to hit a three-pointer.

On the Spurs bench, Popovich saw that the situation was not good and immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench to make adjustments.
