Chapter 69 G7: The last part of the opening 3(1/2)
New York
Inside the Philadelphia 76ers training facility
Since G7 in the finals had already started training, the staff on the first floor of the gym had either gone home to rest or came to the Wells Fargo Center.
Unlike the first floor, which is deserted, all the lights on the second floor are turned on today.
General Manager's Office
"Dang, Dang, Dang"
As the door of the general manager's office is opened
The busy scene was revealed...
"Boss, two pieces of news, one good and one bad." Travis Schlenk serves as both president and general manager of basketball affairs.
"New York called back and said that if there is no suitable rookie, they are open to trading the No. 10 pick." Although they got the No. 2 pick in the draft, this No. 2 pick was not enough for Philadelphia.
"The bad news is that San Antonio still doesn't want to take our call." Even if he has two relatively good forwards, Travis Schlenk still wants to get Leonard to join him.
Even if the contract is only for one year, even if the physical condition is unclear at the moment
"Shams has sent a message, and other companies have started taking action..." Although the assistant to the general manager lowered his voice, his excitement was clearly revealed.
"Okay, let's watch the game first..." The Spurs began to listen to offers, and Travis Schlenk was not in a hurry to make an offer.
Watch the finals first

"Iguodala missed a three-pointer and the 76ers let the ball fly over the baseline."
"Official pause trigger"
6:6,6:38 seconds
"So far, turnovers have dominated the game. The Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers are tied in this aspect, with each side committing 4 turnovers."
"Because mistakes accounted for a very high proportion of offense, both sides did not take many offensive shots."
"The Golden State Warriors made 3 of 7 shots, 43% shooting, the Philadelphia 76ers made 3 of 6 shots"
"Although the shooting percentages of both sides are not bad, both sides obviously feel that it is difficult to develop offense."
"In this situation, everything others can do has been done. The next thing to watch is the competition between the stars of both sides."
Philadelphia 76ers ball rights
Possessing the ball past half-court
Different from usual times, Young's ball possession ratio skyrocketed in this game, and the corresponding turnovers also came to two in one quarter.
Pass to Brogdon on the wing
After handing over the ball, Young leaned left and quickly ran towards VanVleet on the other wing.
through cover
VanVleet, who was running empty-handed, was ready to run to the top of the key.
stuck position
Don’t run toward the top of the key. Klay Thompson, who is proficient in off-ball situations, doesn’t want VanVleet to come to the top of the key.
adapt to changing circumstances
If you don't give it, then it won't pass. VanVleet doesn't intend to force his way to the top of the key.
Turn left and rush towards the three-point line
Since it is impossible to carry out tactics, returning to the three-point line is definitely a mistake-free choice.
turn around
Accelerate back to the inside
Returning to the three-point line is indeed a mistake-free choice, but it is not a good one either.
Half a step ahead
Iguodala's reactions and body speed are still good, but they are completely inferior to his physical peak.
Score the ball
Embiid, who had been holding his back for nearly five seconds, hit the ball toward the ground in the direction of the three-second zone.
Accelerate again
Embiid's pass did not leave enough lead time
Yang must burst out with energy beyond common sense
{It’s not easy}
After finally finding Young who was catching the ball, he found Durant's long arms in front of him, and Iguodala had already arrived to seal the gap.
basket
Overlord needs to challenge multiple defenders when he uses his bow.
Might as well end this offensive round with a pick-up basket
After making sure that his idea was correct, Yang lifted Spalding up high with his fingers.
Stretch your arms and try your best to block the shot
As a center, Durant naturally has to bear the responsibility of protecting the frame.
{Not enough} Durant, who wanted to block the shot, completed his judgment the moment he straightened his arm.
After passing the highest point, it starts to fall
About to enter the network
"Pa" Green slapped Spalding who was about to hit the net.
"Defensive interference ball" Scott Foster's eyesight is indeed bad, but it is not so bad that he cannot see a very obvious defensive interference ball.
6:8
Quick start, almost half time
The Golden State Warriors use the simplest way to serve to steal the rhythm of the two teams.
"The Philadelphia 76ers retreated perfectly and did not allow the Golden State Warriors to find a chance."
"The attack time has passed 15 seconds, and the Golden State Warriors still haven't passed a suitable opportunity."
"The ball can only be given to Durant in the end."
"Observe, there was no sudden attack, the 76ers chose to let one-on-one happen."
Durant VS Young
Drag step left
To control the retreat distance, drag to the right
Durant's shuffle step is one of his killer moves
Naturally, the defensive assistant coach will give special instructions on how to defend.
What follows is a huge change of direction from left to right.
Although he relies on the threat of shooting to break through, he is not incapable of making drastic changes in direction.
What's more, no one can say that the absolute talent of the two people can definitely win.
Forced dry pull
Durant's choice is not surprising, after all, he is Kevin Durant
There is no room for breakthrough, it doesn’t matter
It doesn't matter if there's no shooting space
There is no attack time, and it doesn't matter.
"Uh-huh", faced with a close defense, Kevin Durant still completed a long two-point mid-range shot into the net.
"How's it going?" Durant's tone was filled with dismay.
Hold the ball past half court
Call VanVleet, who is facing Green this round.
False screen forces substitution
Take the left side, which is under-defended.
Start turning sideways below the free throw line
