Chapter 127: Sweep promotion

   This season is the first full season coached by Dillon Corbin. Throughout the season, Dillon Corbin's performance is still quite good.

However, in the playoffs, this crucial game in every game, Dillon Corbin's lack of experience and ability is fully revealed. His poor adjustments before the game made the Jazz fall behind at the beginning, and now they have called a timeout. , Ready to adjust back, but the old and spicy Gregg Popovich is not ready to let him go.

   The next adjustment of the Jazz can be thought of with the ass. It must be a return to the inside-based mode, so Popovich has already thought about the next adjustment.

"Next, we will shrink the inside line and don't give the opponent too much room for inside singles. In addition, the offense will continue to speed up and solve the game as soon as possible!" Popovich’s adjustment is very simple, taking advantage of the Jazz just returning to the inside line to attack. Immediately shrinking the defense, compressing the inside space, and forcing the Jazz to return to the outside attack mode, this move is quite harsh. Once successful, for the Jazz, there is only one final result, that is, their offense will collapse. !

   After the timeout, the two sides re-appeared, the Jazz attacked, and the Spurs contracted the inside line according to Popovich's adjustment.

Paul Millsap was in a better position in the interior, Devin Harris hit the ball, Paul Millsap just received a pass from Devin Harris, the Spurs' shrinking defense took effect, Anxi immediately went up and doubled. Double-teaming, Paul Millsap has become very difficult to get the ball inside.

   He was holding the ball in search of an opportunity. After a few seconds, he was so wrapped up that Paul Millsap could only pass the ball.

The basketball flew into the hands of CJ Miles on the outside line, he directly shot a three-pointer, and An Xi quickly turned back, rushed to interfere, and the interference was not very good, but CJ Miles has not found the outside feel. , The ball still didn't score!

The Spurs' shrinking defense was very effective. In the next few minutes of the game, the Jazz not only did not open the inside, but got a lot of opportunities from the outside, but this obviously did not match Dillon Corbin's tactical requirements. The Jazz's offense fell into chaos. Among them, Devin Harris even began to hesitate whether to continue to pass the ball inside.

   Jazz's offense collapsed. With Tony Parker's mid-range shot, the first quarter ended and the Spurs led by 11 points into the second quarter.

  The gap is getting bigger and bigger. For the Jazz, winning the third game has become an extravagant hope.

In the second quarter, the veteran Popovich continued to adjust. The appearances of Manu Ginobili and Thiago Splitter made the Spurs' offense come alive and even reached its peak, accompanied by the Jazz's re-adjustment. , The Spurs further increased the strength of the offensive end.

The second quarter of the game continued to be one-sided. The Spurs’ offense was too strong, and the Jazz, after a one-quarter adjustment, their offense had just returned to the right track, so after the two quarters, the Jazz fell behind the Spurs by 27 points. !

   The previous rumbling energy solution arena has no sound. The gap is so big that they are a little reluctant to cheer.

In the third quarter, Manu Ginobili made a breakthrough goal. Anxi took the ball from the three-point line. The score difference came to 30 points. Popovich waved his hand and replaced it with a substitute, although the Jazz still didn't want to give up the game. The game, but the difference in strength level made the Jazz's not giving up become the last struggle.

  Finally, at the end of the four quarters, the Spurs won the third game of the series by 24 points, winning three consecutive games, and the Spurs' offensive barrels were hot!

   The big score is 3:0. No one has any hope for the Jazz's victory. In the fourth game, if there is no accident, the Jazz will usher in another disastrous defeat.

Soon, the fourth game arrived. It seemed that it was to solve the game as soon as possible. Popovich made another adjustment before Dillon Corbin. In this game, Anxi was placed as a power forward by Popovich. , The purpose is obvious, he wants to use Anxi's single defense to lock Paul Millsap from the beginning, and no longer give the Jazz any chance.

   The effect is also very obvious. After the three quarters, the Spurs were 81:60 and once again led the Jazz by 21 points. The first round of the playoffs between the Spurs and the Jazz has ended early!

  Finally, the fourth quarter ended, and the Spurs won another 109:87 away game! Four consecutive victories, swept the Jazz 4:0, and entered the second round!

After the game, Anxi was yelled by Jeff Hornacek. He saw Anxi's Spurs swept his own Jazz. Jeff Hornacek was also a little bit emotional. In terms of strength, the Jazz are not as good as the Spurs and are both small cities. For the team, the Jazz are one Gregg Popovich behind the Spurs, anyway, Jeff Hornacek thinks so.

  If Jerry Sloan is still there, will the Jazz still lose? Jeff Hornacek has been thinking about this problem, and finally he came to a conclusion that he would lose because the Jazz is a little worse than the Spurs, and that is GDP loyalty, but of course, if Jerry Sloan is there, The Jazz will certainly not lose so badly.

   "Ann, good job, keep your form, you have a chance to win the championship this season." Jeff Hornacek patted Anxi on the shoulder.

   An Xi nodded: "I will, Uncle Jeff."

The championship is still far away from the journey of the Spurs, but Anxi and the Spurs are very confident. They showed an excellent state in the first round. The current Spurs are already the biggest favorite of the championship contenders this season. .

As for the other matchups in the playoffs, there are only two teams like the Spurs who ended the battle in four clean games ~www.novelmtl.com~. The Thunder in the West defeated the Mavericks in four games, but the process was not as smooth as the Spurs. In three games, they were counterattacked by the Mavericks and almost lost the game.

On the contrary, the Heat in the East is similar to the Spurs. Four victories are easy, but only two games are big wins, and the other two games are only small wins. Of course, four sweeps are already very good, which means the Heat can get Valuable rest time.

   Of course, the Spurs and Thunder are the same, and they can also get valuable rest time.

   The Spurs' opponents in the second round, the Clippers and Grizzlies tied 2:2, which is good news for the Spurs. The Lakers lead the Nuggets 3:1.

In the East, the Bulls have announced that Derrick Rose has been reimbursed for the season. They are also struggling in the playoffs with the 76ers. After the first two games were 1:1, they lost to the 76ers in a row. At present, they It is already 1:3 behind the 76ers.

   The Celtics led the Eagles 3:1, and the Pacers lost one game first and pulled three games in a row to lead the Magic 3:1.

For the Spurs, a 4:0 sweep will give them more rest time. Once the Clippers and Grizzlies play seven games, the Spurs’ second round of the playoffs will not begin until May 15. When the fourth game between the Spurs and the Jazz ended, it was May 7 in the United States. This means that the Spurs will have a rest period of seven or eight days, which is terrifying to think about.

But so much rest time also made Popovich worry. The playoffs need not only rest, but more importantly, they have to stay in shape~www.novelmtl.com~Book friends are welcome to visit and read.
