Chapter 493 : Victory over the Spurs, set the tone!

Popovich has never been an indecisive head coach. He made it clear that his tactical thinking had been cracked and he could no longer play its corresponding role on the court. He immediately corrected it and replaced Will. Perdue, put Jaren Jackson on the field.

On the Jazz side, there is no lineup change, and there is no need to change.

The attitude of a master is to be constant and respond to all changes, and to win without a move.

The game is on again..

The Spurs have the ball!

Unlike Will Perdeau, a tall inside player, Phelan Jackson, who is only 1.93 meters tall, can move much faster and is more flexible. Under Popovich’s request , did not stand in place stupidly waiting to catch the ball, but continued to score “seven six seven” outside the three-point line, running a single person without the ball, and ran as far as possible to the foot three-point line, making Doctor Wang’s defense against him suddenly became much more difficult.

What’s more, he still needs to take care of Vinnie Denut, who is his opponent. The two are very much on the left and right of the chicken thief. They move in opposite directions, so it will be more difficult to follow him. Wang Pan This side is obviously lack of energy, in this case, one defense and two are impossible.

Under the circumstance that the outside could not put enough defensive pressure on the opponent, the pressure on the inside Tim Duncan and David Robinson was immediately reduced a lot.

The cooperation between the two themselves is very tacit, and their personal strength is also extremely good. Now the Jazz’s outside defense is not good, and the double team in the inside is under the cooperation of the two, and it is no longer threatening.

Popovich achieved this excellent effect with a simple substitution. It can only be said that the playoffs are often played against and against.

It’s tactical!

The situation on the court returned to its original state of balance again, but everyone could see that the Jazz, who had a lead of more than ten points, was clearly in an advantageous state.

However, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Jerry Sloan was not satisfied with this situation, and soon made another substitution, Big Ben ended, and Perry played.

Since the defensive end can no longer pose too much threat to the Spurs and cannot rely on defense to expand their lead, then they can only change their thinking and start to use their old line to play a confrontation with the Spurs.

Fighting against each other, Wang Pan said they are not afraid of anyone.

With three consecutive shots from the outside, Wang Xin helped the team further expand the point difference on the field.

Three points are always one more than two points!

The Jazz confirmed this to everyone in the minutes that followed in the first quarter.

The Spurs are very strong, but they are only strong on the inside, especially after Sean Elliott was reimbursed for the playoffs due to injury, the outside lacked a stable three-point scoring point, and the offensive space could not be opened. The Jazz can put more energy on the inside defense, and the three-point tactics on the offensive end are extremely deadly.

Looking at the situation on the court, Popovich had just been coaching the Spurs in his second season, and he couldn’t do anything. He glanced at the players on the bench of his own team, and felt very tired.

There is really no one who can fight.

On the other hand, the Jazz, in addition to the strong starting lineup, their bench lineup is also gorgeous.

As far as the depth of the bench is concerned, the Spurs are really no match.

In such a high-intensity and highly targeted playoff game, whoever has more cards and whose tactics are more targeted will have a considerable impact on the outcome of the game.

In this regard, the Jazz have a clear advantage.

Make bricks without straw!

Popovich really can’t find a solution, and he can’t conjure an excellent role player out of thin air.

As a result, in the ensuing game, as Jerry Sloan continued to change formations and implement targeted tactics, the team’s three-point shooters continued to feel explosive. The team was already on the verge of collapse.

It’s not that they didn’t fight hard enough, or that their strength wasn’t strong enough.

The main reason is that the Jazz’s overall combat strength is much stronger than them. In the regular season, such a big gap cannot be seen. In the playoffs, after starting to go all out, the gap can be seen to the naked eye.  …

“The Spurs are going to lose, with a ten-point lead and the Jazz’s continued strong performance, it’s really too difficult for them to win.

“In terms of the inside, the Spurs actually have an obvious advantage, but the outside is really completely overwhelmed, allowing the Jazz to make three-pointers on the outside. How to play this game?”

“The gap between the first-class and the super-class is just like this. The Jazz are playing more and more calmly, but the Spurs have already used all their trump cards. In this series, Popovich has no room for manipulation. I am optimistic. The Jazz can win this series and make it to the Western Conference finals.”

“In my opinion, there is a high probability that the Jazz will advance. It depends on how many games the Spurs can win. The king’s performance in this game is still outstanding. The key Karl Malone actually didn’t play much, and it was already in this state. Once Karl Malone is also on fire, the Spurs are really unstoppable.

What to say, as the game continued, the Jazz obviously did not intend to continue to entangle with the Spurs. Karl Malone began to exert his strength, and cooperated with Wang Pan, who continued to be strong on both ends of the offense and defense, making the team’s offensive change. getting more and more ferocious.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly exerted his strength, and suddenly hit the Spurs’ 3.4 players, and the point difference quickly expanded to more than 15 points.

Popovich reacted extremely quickly and immediately called a timeout, but it was still too late.

The victory has been established. In the following game time, with Stockton, Hornacek, and Wang Pan three outstanding rhythm controllers in the team, the Jazz began to control the field strongly, and the Spurs tried to resist, and they also set off a rhythm. Several counterattacks have been made, but they have not achieved the desired results.

In the end, relying on Wang Pan’s 41 points, 8 rebounds, 9 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks, which turned into a triple-double, and the excellent overall performance of the team’s 7 players in double figures, the Jazz scored 118 points in a single game and defeated the team. The Spurs lead with a 1-0 lead.

It set the tone for the entire series!
