Pause time.

The King's bench, Curry and others formed a circle.

Su Yang raised his hand and patted Sabonis on the shoulder, "We need you to block Leonard's last rush. As long as he enters the area below the free throw line, no matter what you do, you will participate in the defense against him, create difficulties for him, and don't worry about other things."

Sabonis is 211 cm tall and weighs 112 kilograms. His movement speed is quite good for the big player. He is a powerful candidate for the defensive breakthrough player. He will only need to arrange a person to entangle Leonard.

"Okay..." Sabonis nodded.

Su Yang turned to Covington, "You change to the small forward position and be responsible for entangling him. Don't let him take action easily, don't worry about his potential breakthrough. Sabonis and Giannis will do a good job of making up for defense," then scanned everyone in the team, "We must cut off Leonard's momentum to avoid being passive, so whenever Leonard looks for cover on the outside, we must rush to give delays."

The king and the generals nodded to show their understanding.

The whistle sounded and the game continued.

The audience shouted in unison to cheer.

The King's Five Outer Formation Starts.

The Spurs were staring at people, and Brogden dribbled the ball to the 45-degree three-point line on the right. Seeing that there was a lot of room for breakthrough, he swayed and changed directions continuously. He suppressed the center of gravity with a heavy shoulder and pushed Paul into the paint area. He stopped suddenly and turned around and jumped, and picked the basket and hit the board in the reverse direction.

The basketball smashed the basket and bounced into the net. The referee's whistle sounded at the same time, and Paul La's clothes fouled. Two points were valid and the penalty was added.

The cheers suddenly echoed throughout the audience.

Su Yang applauded with the audience, thinking that Brogden is also a heavy defender and has a great advantage in height. Paul is really not easy to defend. It is the correct operation to shoot him in advance and save Curry's energy. It is difficult for the Spurs to deal with it.

Brogden was still very smart. After rushing hard, he chose to turn around to protect the ball and separate it from the distance, and did not give Paul any chance to take the ball.

Amid the cheers of the whole audience, Brogden made a penalty.

The two teams changed their offense and defense, and the whole game shouted to defend.

Paul ran across the midline with the ball, and pushed his big butt sideways to block Brogden. On the left half, Ade and Green set up a ladder cover, making a move to create running space for Leonard in the bottom corner of the left, but in fact Green took the lead in cutting around the cover.

Seeing this, Su Yang felt that Popovich was raising a challenge.

While thinking, Greene cut away Curry, and Leonard arrived, and also used the help of Ade to catch the ball at the top of the arc.

The Spurs used a basic cross-blocking cover to induce it, which was considered to be a special effort to design.

In that case, it will naturally make it easier for Leonard to catch the ball.

But before Leonard received the ball, Paul was taking the ball on the right side, and Sabonis on the left side was relieved and boldly grabbed the delay. When Leonard received the ball, Covington had already caught up, and Sabonis also hated to return to defense to prevent Adder's potential empty cut.

The situation turned into a one-on-one challenge.

Leonard did not hesitate, and rushed hard with his shoulders.

But Covington followed the steps and chased with close contact. Antetokounmpo contracted from the right bottom corner, and Sabonis also contracted.

Leonard had no choice but to pass it, and he couldn't stop it, so he hurriedly pulled the ball and turned around, and forced a jump and threw the ball.

The basketball bounced back and made a blackshot.

Sabonis jumped up and grabbed the rebound, landed and turned around and threw it to Curry. The Kings suddenly launched a fast attack.

In the frontcourt, Antetokounmpo received the ball from the top of the arc, ignoring the attacks of Paul and Green, and forcibly rushing.

Bang! Antetokounmpo, Paul, Green, and the three of them fell to the ground.

The referee blew a whistle and called a blocking foul, giving two free throws, but the foul was slapped on Green.

Su Yang laughed at the scene. He clearly contacted Paul first, but the referee called Green a foul. He was probably worried that Paul had two fouls in the first quarter, which would affect the game trend. In this game that is highly concerned, you cannot play casually and must keep suspense.

On the live broadcast seat, Van Gundy chuckled: "Mark, have you noticed the Spurs' offensive tactics just now? The ladder cover formation that separates the strength and weaknesses, and the Spurs also play different moves, turning into a roll cut cover and cross-blocking cover. I think that's Bobo is proving to everyone that he can also play novel tactics. Not every time he can only draw his favorite ai     hammer..."

Jackson smiled and nodded: "Of course, I have noticed it, but in my opinion, the Spurs' running position just now is still one level worse than the King. No, there are two levels, because the Kings players do not directly form the formation, but form a ladder cover during the running. Compared to the Spurs' direct position, it is less predictable. Secondly, the King's separation of strength and weakness is more practical..."

In the meantime, Antetokounmpo made both free throws.

The offense and defense were converted, and the Spurs gathered in three players on the left.

Paul dribbled the ball to the top of the arc and passed it to Guy who was lifted with Leonard's cover. He rushed to the bottom corner on the left and worked with Green to do a stack cover. Leonard took the opportunity to rush to the 45-degree three-point line on the left, took the pass from Guy, and took advantage of the situation to use the cover.

Guy ended the cover and opened the outside to the left to bounce. Leonard continued to sprint to the right, and then used the oncoming Ade cover.

After continuous cover, Leonard rushed to the right elbow area and faced Sabonis who was changing to prevent interception. He quickly turned his head and glanced at Ad's movements, turned to take a deep shoulder and started to rush hard, but he threw away Sabonis for half of his body, but Sabonis was tall and his arms were long, and his interference was super strong.

Antetokounmpo also rushed to the basket.

It is a little more difficult to pass the ball to Guy within a small range.

Leonard didn't think much about it, and he stopped and jumped up and jumped. He made a difficult Jordan-style backward mid-range shot, and his movements were pretty good.

But the basketball smashed the basket and smashed the iron, Guy jumped and fought for Antetokounmpo, and the basketball fell into Sabonis's hands behind him.

Curry ran up to get the ball, rushed to the center line a few steps, raised his hand and made a long pass, while Brogdon took the ball with the 45-degree three-point line on the left side of the frontcourt, directly pressed Paul, lowered his center of gravity and rushed hard, and started three steps in the free throw line, and a clang bang bang.

Basketball baskets are frying into the net.

Paul himself escaped a foul, so how dare he take more action?

Of course, there is no other way except for fouls. Brogden is too smart and hardly wants to give Paul any steals possible.

The Spurs attack again.

In the formation of three left and two right, Paul dribbled the ball and rushed to the left wing quickly, and passed it to Ade, who was stuck on the left elbow, and then rushed to the bottom corner on the left, clearly trying to cover Leonard and play a typical elbow tactic, as if he wanted to pay tribute to the king.

But elbow was really a bit low-end when he put it in front of the Kings. Covington retreated early and directly seized the initiative.

No matter how much Leonard cuts in, it is useless. Paul hurriedly went back to the left wing to receive the ball, and then used Ade to cover it and break through the arc.

Sabonis decisively switched to the defense and delayed. Paul immediately passed the ball, but Ade had just received the ball, and Sabonis had already returned to defense.

There is no chance to rush the basket, and the situation of a one-on-one challenge is relatively poor. I have to wait for my teammates to run away specifically, so Ade hurriedly passed the ball.

Leonard, who started on the left bottom corner, received the ball and rushed hard. However, Antetokounmpo contracted from the weak side on the right in advance, Sabonis also started to catch up, and Covington was even more desperate. He really had no chance to lay up, so he had to jump in a hurry and pass the ball 45 degrees to the right.

Guy took the ball in a large open space, which was the space specially released by the King. After all, many players needed to defend Leonard.

The three-pointer hit the iron with a slam.

Antetokounmpo and Sabonis were both accused of the position at the same time, and Covington easily picked up the basketball, started and rushed straight to the frontcourt.

Cheers burst out in the stadium.

The Kings had two-double advantage in the frontcourt, and Covington made a move to Curry, successfully attracted Paul to move the center of gravity, took the opportunity to fight to the basket, flew towards Leonard, jumped over the air, and used the backhand layup to score the ball, and in a trance it seemed like Pierce.

Su Yang stood up and applauded with the audience. The king had already played a 6-0 attack wave, and the pause effect was excellent.

The two teams changed their offense and defense, and the Spurs played elbow again.

Leonard used Paul's cover to rush to the left to receive the ball 45 degrees, and then used Ade's cover to break through the arc.

A set of combos in China Merchants Bank is smooth.

However, the king still surrounded the three of them. Covington squeezed over the cover and chased after him. Sabonis blocked in advance, and Antetokounmpo retreated first.

Ade had a large vacancy incision.

But as long as the ball is passed, Sabonis will definitely be able to return to defense. Leonard hurriedly protected the ball with his back and then turned around and took the ball.

The up and down steps did indeed successfully shake Covington and Sabonis away, showing off his movements, and he seemed to be Kobe in a trance.

But the moment the basketball took off, Antetokounmpo jumped up and slammed the big hat. Sabonis immediately jumped up and grabbed the rebound.

The Kings launched another fast attack. Curry, who had been almost ignored before, received the ball 45 degrees from the right side of the frontcourt, and raised his hand and made a three-pointer long shot.

Swish! The basketball is hollow into the net.

The king played a 9-0 attack wave!

There was a loud cheer in the stadium, and Popovich took it calmly, just waved his hand and asked the other Spurs to fight first.

In the live broadcast seat, Van Gundy said: "After Leonard scored 8 points in a row, he was deflated three times by the Kings and was forced to pass the ball once. He was difficult to deal with it every time. The Kings' resistive defense was very successful, and he still used Leonard's shortcomings to put the Spurs in a paradox. If the Spurs let Leonard play more, the efficiency would not be too high. If the Spurs did not let Leonard play more, then Leonard would be difficult to play. The Spurs must find a way to speed up the pace and not let the Kings set up positions to defend every time.

No matter how powerful a robot is, it cannot work without power.”
