Chapter 99 Super Synergy
The referee threw the ball high into the air for a jump ball in the middle circle. Tristan Thompson and Aldridge jumped almost at the same time, reaching out with one hand to try to dial the ball.

Compared with his height and wingspan, Aldridge beat Thompson completely. His height of 210cm took the initiative at the beginning of the jump ball, which was a bit taller than Thompson.

But the former is 34 years old after all. Although he took the initiative at the start, he was weak in the back and his bullet speed was much slower than Thompson. The Cavaliers finally won the ball!
The game officially begins.

Hill received the pass and immediately accelerated to move forward. To deal with the Spurs, their initial tactic was to increase speed and consume, and use their physical strength to gain the initiative at the beginning.

After all, there are several "[-]-year-old men" in the opponent's lineup!
Breaking through all the way to one step inside the three-point line, both sides have not yet settled down. Seeing this, Hill immediately thought of jumping to play a quick attack.

However, if the Cavaliers took the initiative so easily, it would be too unscientific. After all, the opponent's head coach is Zhuge Popovich.

"Wow!" Almost at the moment when Hill raised his hand, a palm suddenly covered him from behind.

DeRozan!He actually came after him!
Hilton was startled and wanted to pass the ball in fright, but his hand had already touched the ball, and he couldn't avoid it.

"Pa", with a soft sound, Hill was blocked, and the bullet in his hand flew out immediately.

"Get it!" Love on the right was startled when he saw this scene, and immediately wanted Yun Chen and Osman who came over to grab the ball back.

However, before the two of them got close to the ball, a person from the other side appeared in front of them inexplicably, blocking their sight.

"Shua!" The figure caught the ball at a shockingly fast speed.

"Rudy Guy?" Yun Chen's eyes widened in disbelief, this person was just beside her, why did he suddenly appear in front?When did he go there?

But Gay didn't give Yunchen any chance to think. After getting the ball, he didn't intend to dribble at all, and immediately threw a long pass towards the Cavaliers' backcourt.

There, another figure was already running there.

"Where did this come from? Why did another one appear?" Yun Chen followed the high-throwing ball all the way, and naturally noticed the person who was already rushing forward.

Mills!The Spurs point guard had already received the ball at this time, and there was no one within 5 meters around him.

Going to the basket, without any accidents, the Spurs scored the first goal! 0-2!

The defensive counterattack, which can be called a textbook-like operation, was extremely smooth, and the Cavaliers did not leave the slightest chance.

"..." Yun Chen stood on the spot with his hips thrust forward, his mouth opened wide as he watched Mills who ran back to defend after scoring a goal.

After that, he turned his attention to Gay and DeRozan on the other two sides. This defense and attack, the cooperation of the three people is simply perfect, and the movements are highly coordinated, as if they were set in advance.

With such cooperation, Yunchen believed that the Cavaliers still had a big gap with them.

"Spurs...it really is the Spurs..." In the end, he shook his head and whispered a few words before running to the frontcourt to prepare to attack.

The first attack on the opponent gave them a big blow. Although it made Yun Chen extremely uncomfortable, it also raised his vigilance on another level.

The Cavaliers served, and Hill advanced with the ball again.

Because the first attack was blocked, Hill's confidence was obviously hit. After halftime, he passed the ball to Osman without stopping to let him organize the offense.

Osman received the ball and faced Rudy Gay one-on-one at 45° on the right. The opponent's defense was very tight and he was not given a chance to break through and shoot.

However, Osman is not the main attacker after all. After observing the situation, he lobbed a high pass to Love, who is in the mid-range position.

It is also the best choice for him at this time. Playing steadily and recovering two points first will help the players adjust their mentality.

However, it was Aldridge who defended him, and Gasol switched to Thompson after he was set.

Ade stretched out a pair of long arms, leaning on his chest against Le Fu's back, as if he had decided that Le Fu's physical resistance was not strong.

Le Fu didn't hesitate when he saw this, and went up to the top as well.After a confrontation between the two, Love turned around and shot a jumper.

"Shua!" Hit, 2-2.His touch has always been the most stable in the Cavaliers.

The offense and defense were switched, and the Spurs attacked. They also chose a steady and steady positional battle for this attack.

It was Thompson who guarded him. On the defensive end, the Cavaliers still let people with more physical advantages mark him.

As we all know, Aldridge's biggest feature is his stable mid-range shot, but his disadvantage is also obvious, that is, his slow speed and it is difficult to completely get rid of the defender.

Thompson also stepped up and squeezed Aldridge's shot space, which is the same as the opponent's defense just now.

But obviously, Adelaide does not have the strong adjustment ability of Love, and it is very uncomfortable to be squeezed. Although he finally leaned back and shot, he was obviously disturbed seriously.

Hitting the iron, the ball bounced off the frame and flew out.

Seeing this, Love immediately ran over to grab a rebound at the basket. His speed and reaction were already quite fast.

But something unexpected happened again, in front of him, two figures suddenly appeared, blocking his way forward in an instant.

Gay and DeRozan!The two of them didn't know when they had thrown off the defense!
"Huh?" Love suddenly frowned, trying to use his height to protect the rebound from behind them, but in front of DeRozan, who is known for his jumping ability, this is obviously not feasible.

"Crack!" DeRozan grabbed the rebound, and then Rudy Gay didn't hesitate at all, turned around and stuck Love behind him in front of him, giving DeRozan a shot space!

"Shua!" DeRozan turned around and made a mid-range shot.For him, scoring from this distance is as simple as finding something out of a bag.

Hit! 2-4!The Spurs are on the second attack!
"Li! Osman! What's the matter with you two? Why didn't anyone defend?" The first time after the ball was scored, Love immediately turned to look at Li Yunchen and Osman, because in his opinion, they were the ones defending It was a mistake that caused him not to get a rebound.

However, when he turned his head to look this way, he froze there.

Because by Li Yunchen's side, Pau Gasol was sticking close to him, and by Osman's side, it was Mills blocking his way.

They were stuck in the defensive position by the pick-and-roll at the same time!The opponent actually played a two-line pick-and-roll tactic in such a short period of time, completely splitting the Cavaliers' defense!
"This...how is it possible!" Le Fu's eyes widened.

Not only him, but even Yun Chen stood on the field with his waist in his arms, frowning and gritted his teeth.

It was like a fairy tale, the opponent's tactics were too fast, and they didn't have any chance to react.

"It's terrible. No wonder they have entered the playoffs for 21 consecutive seasons. It's too strong!" Yun Chen whispered. Only after playing against them can one understand how terrifying Popovich's Spurs are.

In these two offenses and defenses, he was extremely restricted and did not play any role at all.

"Li, what's going on? How do you feel that their reaction is a beat faster than ours? Every movement can be ahead of our reaction!" Osman walked over and asked.

Yun Chen raised his hand to wipe his sweat, and said, "Synergy!"
