I Am in the Same Year as Duncan Show - v2 Chapter 36

　　 Chapter 36, the fourth quarter starts

　　 At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs completed a go-ahead, leading by one point into the fourth quarter.

　　 And Xu Liang’s playing time in this half of the game also bought David Robinson more than half of the quarter to rest.

　　 This is of great significance to the Spurs’ next fourth quarter decisive moment.

　　 It’s just that Xu Liang’s mission is not over yet, and Xu Liang is still needed to support the Spurs’ offense in the first four to five minutes of the fourth quarter.

　　 As for defense, it mainly depends on how the Jazz Stockton feels.

　　 But because of Xu Liang, Duncan, and David Robinson, the Jazz’s Stockton and Karl Malone didn’t finish the first three quarters.

　　 After all, the scores of the two sides have been very tight, and whether it is Xu Liang, David Robinson or Duncan, any of the insiders lacks Karl Malone’s defense and matchup.

　　 The Jazz is very likely to be blown up by the opponent in a short time.

　　 In order to fully display Malone’s offensive ability on the field, Stockton also had to accompany Malone on the field.

　　 This allowed the two to play a total of 34 minutes in the 36 minutes of the first three quarters.

　　More than 30 minutes of continuous fierce confrontation also caused Stockton and Malone’s physical exhaustion to be more serious.

　　 At the beginning of the fourth quarter, if both of them were to rest, it is likely to cause the Jazz to be directly destroyed by the Spurs offense at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

　　 This is not the most serious problem for the Jazz. The most pressing problem facing the Jazz now is how to deal with and defend the offensive system with Xu Liang as its core?

　　 Fortunately, Sloan observed the Spurs’ offensive system through the last minute or so.

　　 discovered that the key points of this offensive system were all concentrated in Xu Liang’s hands.

　　 At least from the previous offensive rounds, the Spurs’ offensive system has only one core support point, and that is Xu Liang.

　　 Others are more of an end point. After Xu Liang passes the ball, the others will directly shoot or attack the basket.

　　 Therefore, the next key point for the Jazz to influence the operation of the Spurs tactical system is Xu Liang.

　　 But with Xu Liang’s height and wingspan, Xu Liang’s offense can also be interfered by sticking defenses.

　　 But it is really difficult to completely block Xu Liang’s pass.

　　 It’s just that Sloan is also a veteran top coach, and he has a deep understanding of tactics.

　　 Sloan understood very well that Xu Liang’s defense does not need to completely block his offense and passing.

　　 only needs to seriously interfere with his attacking rhythm and affect his passing rhythm, so that the entire tactical operation can have a big problem.

　　 At the same time, this can also be a kind of temptation. How about Xu Liang’s dribbling ability and ball protection ability?

　　 And once Xu Liang showed weaknesses in this area, or even loopholes, this tactical system could be completely blasted from Xu Liang’s point.

　　 The next game requires Stockton to make some short adjustments and rest, so the Jazz let Malone to support the entire interior defense and offense.

　　 But Xu Liang’s offensive threat on the outside can’t be completely ignored, so Sloan needs to find a striker who can interfere with Xu Liang’s offense and passing.

　　 And picking and picking, Sloan found that Adam Keef under his hand was a better choice.

　　 Adam Keef is 2.06 meters tall and weighs 104 kilograms.

　　According to this height and weight, Adam can actually be easily blasted by others on the inside.

　　 But if he is only involved in shooting interference and passing interference from the outside, his height and weight can’t be considered a particularly big disadvantage.

　　 Choosing him was also a gamble by Sloan. Xu Liang’s inside singles skills are still not very proficient in gambling.

So in the final fourth quarter, the Jazz’s roster is center: Karl Malone, power forward: Adam Keef, the starting staff of small forwards and shooting guards remain unchanged, and the point guard is brought up from the bench with a defense capable of shooting three-pointers. Type guard.

　　 The defense of this lineup is Adam staring at Xu Liang to interfere with his shooting and passing.

　　While Malone returns to the inside to defend, others should change the position of the Spurs’ tactical system indefinitely.

　　 At the offensive end, everyone opened up to provide space for Malone to play back.

　　 After all, Adam also has a relatively stable mid-range shot.

　　 Sloan’s requirements for this lineup are not high, as long as they can withstand the first five minutes of the fourth quarter and prevent the Spurs from opening the score.

　　 has always maintained the balance of the score, even if this lineup has completed the basic tasks.

　　 The Jazz’s lineup changed at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

　　 The Spurs’ lineup has also changed.

　　 The Spurs lineup is compared to the lineup in the second half of the third quarter, except that Duncan is replaced with a backup power forward who can shoot mid-range.

　　 The main purpose of such a substitution is to make Duncan take a break.

　　 After all, it was the first time to play an NBA level game~www.mtlnovel.com~ Some problems still appeared in Duncan’s physical control.

　　 And Xu Liang needs to stand alone in the first five minutes of the fourth quarter to withstand the offensive task of the Spurs inside.

　　 Popovich doesn’t have high requirements for this lineup, as long as he can complete the offensive against the Jazz. As for the defense, it’s fine.

　　 After seeing the Spurs lineup, Malone felt relieved. After all, a space-based shooting power forward is definitely easier to deal with than Duncan.

　　 In this way, Malone’s defensive tasks are easier, and he can better help his teammates to make up defenses.

　　 but lacks Duncan, a top power forward with superior athleticism and skilled offensive skills.

　　 Malone believes that the offensive system centered on Xu Liang will also decline.

　　 At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs attacked first.

After 　　 fell into position, the Spurs’ offensive tactics this time were different from before.

　　 Xu Liang no longer stands at the top of the arc to pass and shoot.

　　 Instead, he moved to a low position and stuck Adam behind him.

　　 Xu Liang was also taken aback when he saw Adam coming up to defend himself, feeling that his weight of 130 kilograms was like a decoration in the eyes of the Jazz.

　　 And Xu Liang was not polite, stuck Adam directly, received the ball and went directly into the three-second zone, before Karl Malone’s defense was in place, he dunked successfully.

　　 Xu Liang’s offensive change this time directly shattered the Jazz’s original defensive plan.

　　 Fortunately, Malone was able to stabilize the army in time, and through a face-to-face attack, he went directly to the inside and hit a hook shot.

　　 Back on the defensive end, Malone and Adam switched their defensive targets, and Adam went to defend the Spurs’ new spatial power forward.

　　 And Malone came to the low position by himself, resisting Xu Liang’s back-up singles.
