"Oh, Charles, I'm right, this rookie scored 2 3-pointers in a row?" Kenny Smith clapped and smiled.

"Incredible, this rookie has changed his shooting posture and looks very effective. Let's see if Popovich will make targeted adjustments next." Barkley also opened his mouth wide and was surprised.

Xue Ding was too hesitant in his previous game outside the three-point line, and his shooting percentage also proved that he really didn't have much three-point range.

Xue Ding's adjustment today really surprised the fans and commentators.

However, a bit unexpected is that Xue Ding was replaced after this timeout.

Steve Blake is the one who replaced Xue Ding!

There is no dissatisfaction with Xue Ding being replaced. He is still a rookie now, and everything has to be arranged by the head coach.

The head coach, worried that Xue Ding would be dissatisfied, explained specifically: "Xue, your performance is very good, but Popovich will no longer give you three-pointers so easily. We have to change their deployment, and the next rotation time will be controlled by you."

"OK." Xue Ding said calmly.

He walked back to the bench with Oden, talking and laughing...

McMillan looked at Xue Ding's attitude and nodded.

This rookie is different from the rookie he has met before. He has always been very surprised by Xue Ding's maturity.

Especially his mind and attitude of not competing or scrambling, he has a clear understanding of his own strength, and he can also deal with teammates in the locker room.

Xue Ding's performance is different from other newcomers. He is not very similar to a freshman who just came out of school. Instead, McMillan sometimes feels that he is communicating with his peers.

McMillan sometimes thinks Xue Ding is very similar to James.

This is a personality that is born to be a superstar!

After the timeout, with Ginobili coming on the court, the Spurs began to recover the score, and Popovich's tactical adjustments were very targeted to strengthen the outside defense.

Xue Ding off the field also saw the Spurs' classic tactical routines.

When the Spurs performed a three-man tactical cooperation on the strong side with the ball, the two on the unball side performed an unball cover. After breaking through on the strong side, they passed along the bottom line to the pitcher who was covered by the weak bottom corner.

Ginobili scored 2 3-pointers through this famous "Hammer Series" tactic.

In this era when three-pointers are not mainstream, 3-pointers are indeed not the first choice to catch up, but in fact, if it is accurate, it is indeed the fastest way to catch up the score.

After the Spurs tied the score, the two sides began a new round of tug-of-war.

Tug-of-war means striking each other's irons.

After hitting each other, the head coaches of the two teams decided to play inside.

The Trail Blazers' main inside attack is Aldridge.

Aldridge's defense against Duncan was a little unstoppable.

Ade frequently jumped on the outside.

Aldridge's mid-range shooting percentage is as high as 46%, which looks very accurate, but it can't resist the way Duncan and Bonner choose to attack closer to the basket.

Duncan and Bonner made an inside attack shooting percentage of up to 76% through internal passes.

The Trail Blazers are beginning to be at a disadvantage.

Xue Ding also saw the Spurs' tactics in this game.

The core idea of ​​the Spurs' offense is to create and utilize counterpoint advantages.

Xue Ding also remembers that when the Spurs were at the peak of the giants, they relied on the inside and killing, that is, they could dominate the game by using their positioning advantages by using their star abilities.

In fact, they were similar to the future Heat, Thunder, and Warriors, but the way and rhythm were different. The game was dull at that time.

The Spurs have an inside line and are in the transition period. In order to maximize their positional combat advantages, the Spurs are unwilling to speed up.

Although some overall alliances have signs of speeding up, the efficiency of the inside also makes Bobo unwilling to blindly follow the mainstream of the alliance.

As Duncan gradually aging, the Spurs are slowly losing their original advantages.

A few years ago, after an outside-door-led attempt led by Parker and Manu, Bobo began to realize that although Parker and Manu had more destructive power, they were also very limited. Parker's range determined that he could not pull the space, and Manu's stability was also a headache.

The Spurs have become a little different this year.

Conventional style: The ball holder tries to create misalignment through pick-and-roll, while the ball does not create defensive misalignment by moving around the pile, and the person does not stick to the ball and keeps running, and then goes back and forth until the position advantage (missing) or defensive misalignment (empty position).

Single-core strong attack mode: main attack point (usually Parker/Manu, now there are occasional scenes of Dior) with the ball and tear the defensive formation, and pass the ball according to the situation in the regular style of unballed running.

Dual-core mode: Usually when Manu and Parker are on the court at the same time, they have stronger killing ability, with the intention of compressing the opponent's formation.

In short, the core of the Spurs tactics is to rely on tactics to create positioning advantages with human movement and use the ball movement to take advantage of this advantage.

The Spurs' style of playing is not complicated.

But the reason why it is powerful is mainly in line with the actual situation of the Spurs - soft power is greater than hard power.

There are many international players who are very popular with dedicated players, with strict military discipline and strong execution.

Popovich players have strong development capabilities. All the players who are not well-known under their command have distinct characteristics and can make the best use of them.

The Trail Blazers obviously still look too young.

28 to 22.

The Trail Blazers fell 6 points behind in the first quarter.

The Trail Blazers and Spurs matches cannot see too strong offensive frenzy or personal ability show. Such a focus battle makes fans feel a little drowsy.

And it seems that Popovich and McMillan are willing to see such a scene.

In the first quarter, if the two teams were not as efficient as possible, the score would never be so high.

Everyone lowered the rhythm very slowly, and everyone was dragging the rhythm and the game seemed very slow, and the scene was quite dull.

The pace is too slow and the score cannot be caught up with. The fans of Rose Garden are boring to watch!

Almost more and more people are looking forward to Xue Ding's appearance, hoping that this unique rookie will come up and bring the rhythm, and at least let themselves shout a few words.

After a while, many fans looked at Xue Ding.

But at this time the fans discovered something very interesting.

Xue Ding on the bench was secretly watching the cheerleading beauty.

That little look and sneaky movements were so funny that they were afraid that others would catch them.

The fans of Rose Garden think that their rookies are really enough.

There were sparse laughter at the scene.

Auden next to him looked at Xue Ding's attention and stared at somewhere, and asked strangely: "Xue, what are you looking at?"

Xue Ding didn't look back, poked Oden's arm with his elbow, and then said, "Greg, look, that peach."

Oden followed Xue Ding's gaze and swallowed, saying, "That's your peach, I like the pumpkin next to me."
