Chapter 196
"Crab without meat?!"
Curry was confused."After playing for less than 30 seconds, he called a timeout. After the timeout, he fouled Su on the first attack. What is
Pop doing?
What's he up to?
I don't understand."
""Hacking the Shark?!"
David Lee guessed,"But I'm not sure. At such a deep position, Heaslip can only watch Su score even if he doesn't commit a foul.""
"A bit confused."
Gordon also frowned.
Su Hao didn't quite understand it either. Even if it was the"Hack the Shark Tactic", it was a bit early in the last quarter with only 3 minutes left. Everyone was still a little confused.
""Step!"
Su Hao stepped onto the free throw line.
""Swish!"
The first free throw was made
""Swish!"
The second free throw was also made.
Both free throws were made. The Spurs' foul this time was equivalent to giving up.
The director cut the camera to Popovich. He sat on the chair, his face calm and composed. It was hard to tell what he was up to.
The ball was transferred.
Duncan got the ball in the low post on the left side, facing David Lee, ready to attack by himself, but after Su Hao switched defense, he decisively passed the ball to Parker.
Break through and pass the ball.
Then find Ginobili who was cutting in the air, break through in a snake-like manner, twist his body into a twist, and make a layup under the interference of Russell and Gordon. The critical moment
"The"Demon Sword" is trustworthy.
Switching offense.
What should the Spurs do?!
Fouling Su Hao?
That's right.
Heaslip really fouled Su Hao again. It seems that the purpose of his coming on the court at this point is to foul Su Hao.
"Still coming?"
Su Hao narrowed his eyes, and was basically certain in his heart that Popovich was going to use the"Hack-a-Shaq" tactic on him.
To test his free throws and reduce the Clippers' second chances.
""Huh"
Coach Dunleavy said with disdain,"Su Hao's free throws are better than O'Neal's. He just made two free throws. It's not a rational choice to use the"Hack-a-Shaq" tactic on him.
Or...
You have run out of tricks and have no other tricks. Let's just... break the jar and throw it away!"
""Step!"
Su Hao stepped back onto the free throw line.
""Swish!"
The first free throw was successful.
The second free throw?
""Bang!"
He missed. He made one of two free throws, which was not bad.
With this free throw, the score difference was 10 points. Su Hao also scored 46 points tonight, and is expected to get 50 points!!!
The Spurs attack.
They kept passing the ball, avoiding Su Hao, attacking patiently, and finally... Ginobili's three-pointer in the left corner
""Shua!"
An arrow pierced his heart.
The more critical the moment, the more you can trust the"demon sword".
The desperate demon sword slays the demons!
This is not just talk.
The score difference is 7 points.
The Clippers are still calm.
Heaslip continued to foul Su Hao and sent him to the free throw line.
This time?!
"Bang!"
"" Swish!"
Still one out of two free throws.
Su Hao's free throws are better than O'Neal's, but he doesn't always make them, with a hit rate of more than 90%.
8 points difference.
The Spurs' attack failed.
Continue to"hack the Shark"."
"Swish!"
"Swish!"
Su Hao made both free throws this time, and the score difference returned to 10 points.
"Haha!"
Curry laughed,"It's useless, you can't guarantee every round, and Su Hao's free throws are not terrible.
Forcing a"Hack-a-Shaq" so early is like playing with fire and getting burned."
"Will this work?"
The Spurs assistant coach was also a little worried.
But Popovich was still very calm,"Since it's a 'Hack-a-Shaq', since it's a bet on free throws, we definitely can't judge the effect in one or two rounds.
Try it for a few more minutes.
Use up the last bullet, and if it still doesn't work, then admit defeat."
On the court.
The Spurs were steady and solid, and they first attacked, with a difference of 8 points.
Su Hao continued to be hacked.
Once again standing on the free throw line
"Bang!"
""Bang!" Both free throws were missed.
The Spurs had a chance, Ginobili wanted a three-pointer, and wanted to kill the opponent with one blow. Gordon chased him like crazy, and Russell also rushed over.
Double block
"Wow!"
Ginobili jumped up and passed the ball in the air, finding Richard Jefferson in the right corner and raised his hand for a three-pointer.
""Swish!"
The ball went through the net.
The score difference... suddenly reached 5 points.
Was the tactic effective?
The Spurs planned to continue to foul Su Hao and send him to the free throw line, but before he could cut Su Hao, Su Hao found Curry in the corner with a wide open space. He decisively passed the ball to him.
Curry's wide open three-pointer was the flame of victory?
""Bang!"
It missed.
This three-pointer, which was just like training, didn't
"Stephen has a small heart. He is a rookie after all. When the situation becomes tense, his condition will also decline."
The Spurs assistant coach laughed.
Popovich's face, which had been tense all the time, also showed a smile at this moment,"Being small-hearted is only one aspect.
What's more important is.
The continuous"Hack-a-Shaq Tactics" made the Clippers, except Su Hao, not shoot or attack. As time goes by, their touch will definitely decline.
Su Hao also gradually missed two free throws and missed more free throws.
Here it comes
"The"Hack-a-Shaq" effect is here, we are going to have a counterattack!!!"
The Spurs' counterattack.
Avoiding Su Hao, the score is close, the Spurs are getting better and better, and their offense is getting more and more fluent, and the rhythm is perfect.
Parker's floater
""Swish!"
Another hit.
The score difference was 3 points.
In the transition offense, Su Hao didn't get the ball this time. He used the deterrent power of falling in to let Russell hit a mid-range shot from the outside.
But the Spurs' offense also hit.
Another round, neither side made a play.
The score difference was still 3 points.
The situation seemed to be stuck and stalemate. The Spurs seemed to no longer use the"Hack-a-Shaq Tactic" on Su Hao after the score difference narrowed.
As a result.
In the next round, the"Hack-a-Shaq Tactic" against Su Hao continued.
This time: one of two free throws. In the transition offense.
The Spurs'"Demon Sword" Ginobili's"snake breakthrough" layup, dribbled past David Lee, but was blocked by Su Hao.
In vain.
Spurs... Heaslip continued to use the"Hack-a-Shaq Tactic" against Su Hao, and he also"left the court with six fouls", burning all his energy.
Old man Pop gave him a thumbs up when he left the court.
This is an affirmative gesture.
Heaslip is very happy
""Step!"
Su Hao once again stepped onto the free throw line.
This time, he still made one of two free throws.
""It's a bit of a headache."
The continuous free throws and the ever-decreasing score difference made Su Hao feel a little stressed.
His stress came from the fact that he could only score through free throws, which was not his best way to score. The more free throws he took, the worse his condition became.
"COME ON!
Su Hao scored 50 points tonight with this free throw, becoming the second rookie this year to score 50 points in a season.
Scoring is not absolutely strong for Su Hao.
Protecting the rim and defense are his main themes.
But tonight he scored 50 points. On the one hand, he was in good shape, and on the other hand, Popovich's"Hack the Shark Tactic" was really powerful.
It seems that this"Hack the Shark Tactic" does not work, and it has become a reasonable way for"Hulk" Su Hao to score points?!"
