Chapter 160

Seeing this situation, Popovich's face darkened instantly. Taking advantage of the possession of the ball in his team's hands, he directly called a timeout.

"Green, are you sleepwalking? As a first-class 3D player, has your defense been eaten by dogs?! You actually let Wade break through you three times in a row in less than a minute!"

Popovich's face was dark, and he didn't hold a tactical drawing board in his hand at all, indicating that he was still not ready to talk about tactics. After the players returned to the bench, Popovich blushed and cursed directly.

As Popovich's direct target, Green bowed his head without saying a word, sweat kept dripping from his hair, and the right hand holding the drink cup kept trembling, which was enough to see the fluctuations in his mood.

"And you guys, don't think you didn't make any mistakes. What I've been emphasizing? It's team defense, knowing that the opponent is Wade, why don't you have anyone to help Green defend in advance?!"

Now that the Bobo brand hair dryers have been activated, it must be that Green is not the only one who sprayed, and immediately spread the target to other players.His face was flushed with scolding, and his saliva was splashing. Countless fans at the scene were stunned.

After finishing speaking, Popovich stared at everyone coldly. After taking a few deep breaths, he seemed to be suppressing his inner anger. After a few seconds, he continued: "Talk about it, How about the next game?"

Drinking an energy drink, Duncan said unhurriedly: "We can pinch Wade and James in advance and force them to split the ball. Compared with them, other players on the Heat team can handle it better."

"it is good!"

Popovich nodded, double-teaming in advance is indeed a good defensive strategy, and then his tone slowed down, "James and Wade are both top finishers in the league, don't let them break into the penalty area with the ball! Put them Get out of the paint and let them shoot long shots!"

Popovich is very clear that James and Wade are not going to make six or seven three-pointers, but if you let them go into the paint and start the mid-range shot, it will be impossible to guard because that is their zone and they know How can it be the most comfortable shot.

"Do a good job of defending and give me a positive attitude! In addition, on the offensive end, I need you to speed up the offensive rhythm and not let the point difference continue to expand for me! The victory of this game will eventually belong to us!"

After a burst of alternative roars, seeing that the morale of the players was normal, Popovich didn't make any substitutions and let them play again.

The game restarted, and the Spurs' offensive round, once halfway through, Parker didn't stop, and directly broke through with the ball.After two consecutive changes of speed and direction, Parker took a quick step past Chalmers and rushed straight to the three-point line.

After attracting the defensive attention of several players, Parker distributed the ball. Green, who was outside the three-point line, received the ball, and immediately jumped up and shot, making a solid hit with a swish!
In the transition between offense and defense, Wade held the ball to face Green's defense, and immediately wanted to break through, but this time, just as he rushed to the three-point line, Parker on the side came to help defend him in advance, and cooperated with Green to stop him. Outside.

Seeing this situation, Wade did not forcefully try to break through, turned around and passed the ball to Chalmers, and Parker also quickly withdrew...

On the sidelines, Popovich, who was watching this scene, kept frowning, not happy with the obvious change in the team's offensive rhythm. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand and called Yang Ke over, saying, "Yang Ke , I’m going to put you on the field.”

"Um?"

Yang Ke was taken aback, thinking that Popovich wanted him to replace Green, and immediately said, "Coach, there is no need to replace? After being scolded by you, Green performed very well in this offensive and defensive round!"

"I'm going to ask you to replace Parker!"

Popovich gave Yang Ke an angry look. He had no intention of replacing Green, and then said in a low voice, "Parker has old injuries on his knees and legs that haven't been healed yet."

"I understand!"

Hearing what Popovich said, Yang Ke immediately nodded clearly, and defensive strategies such as double-teaming and strengthening defense in advance, although they must have good restrictions on James and Wade.

But since Leonard wants to defend James, Parker is the most effective way to double-team and assist in defense. In order to protect Parker from recurring injuries, Popovich will replace Yang Ke.

Patting Yang Ke on the shoulder, Popovich asked with a smile: "By the way, Yang, do you know how Wade makes good use of his speed advantage?"

Nodding his head, remembering the advice he asked Parker not long ago, Yang Ke said with a smile: "Parke explained it to me, in general: use speed to specify footsteps, not footsteps to guide speed!"

"Okay, let's go to the game!"

Nodding in satisfaction, seeing that Chalmers got two free throws, Popovich patted Yang Ke on the back and got him ready to play.

Yang Ke already has a theoretical understanding that promotes leaps and bounds. The only thing left is the practical operation. When Yang Ke combines his ball control, speed and other skills with it, he will become an extremely sharp offensive spear.

"Yang, it's up to you!"

When he heard that he was replaced, Parker froze for a moment, then reacted, walked towards Yang Ke who was walking up, and slapped his palm lightly with him.

Nodding his head, Yang Ke said affirmatively, "Well, I will do my best to chase points!"

Putting the jersey into his trousers, Yang Ke walked straight to the center line, looked at Wade beside him, bent down, and put his hands on his knees.

Moments later, Chalmers made two free throws, which temporarily stopped the bleeding for the Heat. The others quickly went to the half court to settle down, while Yang Ke walked to the bottom corner and caught Splitter's serve.

bump!bump!
Yang Ke quickly brought the ball to the front court. According to Popovich's request to speed up the offensive rhythm, he used Duncan's pick-and-roll, relying on his one-step speed, Yang Ke directly rushed into the inside.

Since Bosh has already followed Duncan out, only Haslem is guarding the Heat's basket. After looking at Haslem's position, he didn't intend to come out. Yang Ke directly stopped the jumper and shot it. two points.

Offensive and defensive conversion, Chalmers handed the ball to James after halftime.Wade has played singles for several rounds in a row. In front of the home fans, James is certainly not far behind.

Facing Leonard's close defense, James directly opened the breakthrough of the tank crushing mode. Relying on his iron-like body, James resisted Leonard and slowly chiseled towards the inside.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ke immediately gave up Chalmers' marking and quickly moved a half step inside, focusing on James all the time.
