Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 75 I heard your name is French Sports Car

Popovich called a timeout, during which he made a series of adjustments, starting with a targeted arrangement against Tinsley's passes.

Tinsley is not a good passer, and his "breakthrough passes" are all from fixed points.

Given some time, Popovich, as a veteran head coach, will be able to see this clearly.

At the start of the second quarter, Tinsley was clearly not as comfortable passing the ball.

This exposed a problem of the Pacers:
They lack pure organizing skills!

No one can really connect the team.

At the end of the first half, the Spurs successfully caught up with the score and entered the second half with a 49-point lead of 45 to 4.

苏万上半场数据还算可以，拿到了8分3篮板3助攻1抢断1盖帽。

With almost no possession of the ball, he achieved these numbers, which means he completed his offensive task very well.

As for the defensive end...

Ginobili made 9 of 4 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 3 of 2 free throws, scoring 11 points in the first half, a performance slightly above average.

But Rick Carlisle didn't blame Suwan.

There are few people in the league who can defend against a furious Ginobili.

The "Demon Sword" is obviously in very good condition tonight!
Most importantly, Rick Carlisle believes that Suwan can adjust his condition.

Since coaching Su Wan, his biggest feeling is:

At some point in the game, Suwan would suddenly enter another state, and then play an extremely brilliant performance on both offense and defense, helping the team win the final victory.

This happened more than once, twice, three times, or four times...

It happened so often that Rick Carlisle got used to it.

After all, he is a rookie, and it is normal for his performance to fluctuate.

That is probably Su Wan’s true level!

So he had almost no criticism towards Su Wan.

And it was clear that Popovich was targeting Suwan tonight. As a rookie, he was already very satisfied with the data he put forward in the first half.

Don’t forget, this “third best rookie in history” is only 19 years old this year…

The average age of phenomenal "supernovas" such as Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan, who had more stable rookie seasons, is over 21 years old.

At 19 years old, Su Wan is already very strong.

The second half of the game is coming soon.

Rick Carlisle adjusted the offensive tactics and changed the core of the offense from Tinsley to O'Neal Jr.

Let him attack the basket!
This is also one of the two main tactics used by the Pacers with the return of O'Neal Jr.

The other set is naturally Su Wan's singles with the ball.

Therefore, the Pacers' offensive tactics during this period are somewhat similar to the Lakers' "triangle offense", but it is a bankrupt version. Neither O'Neal Jr. nor Suwan has the one-on-one ability of a top ball handler.

Let’s not talk about Su Wan for now, after all, he still has unlimited possibilities.

Especially O'Neal, although he has developed the ability to play one-on-one with the ball in the low post, everyone can see that he has "four no-plays":
He doesn’t fight those who are taller than him, he doesn’t fight those who are stronger than him, he doesn’t fight those who are more flexible than him, he doesn’t fight those who are stronger than him…

To put it bluntly, his low-post ball-handling offensive ability is not enough to be called a "killer weapon".

It is obvious that the style of play that suits him best is to catch the ball, jump, and use his physical fitness to "catch and score" around the basket.

From the shooting percentage, we can see that O'Neal's shooting percentage in the past two seasons has dropped by about 5% compared with the previous two seasons. However, Rick Carlisle and O'Neal himself like to play him as a "ball-holding core" under the basket. Tim Duncan is naturally one of the "four no-play" players of O'Neal.

The Pacers failed to score on their first attack in the second half.

The "Stone Buddha" protected the rebound, laughed strangely, and passed the ball to Ginobili.

Facing Su Wan, the "Demon Sword" chose to play singles without hesitation. ——It was obvious that the first half gave him great confidence.

But this time, just as he twisted his waist and took strange steps, rushing to the other side, Su Wan actually followed his steps and quickly blocked his way.

This was something Ginobili did not expect. During the sudden stop, the ball slipped out of his hands.

He reached out quickly and reacted quickly.

He was fast, but Su Wan was even faster. He reached out first and hooked the ball in his hand, then made a big turn and passed the ball from behind to his other hand.

Ginobili was stunned.

This is not just the ability to control the ball, but also the ability to control the body. This is too...

What surprised Ginobili continued. When the ball passed to the other hand, Su Wan seemed to have already accumulated strength with his feet. He rushed out all of a sudden. The ball shook slightly with his hand, and Ginobili was directly shaken away.

Appeared……

Don’t slow down and change direction!
There was a chorus of low gasps at the scene, all wondering how Su Wan had managed to do this.

"Bah!"

Ginobili didn't even have time to react, let alone the others. They could only watch Su Wan steal the ball and counterattack.

"Defend, defend!"

Su Wan, who was returning to defense, shouted quickly.

The other players on the Pacers followed his instructions and showed their concentration, including Stephen Jackson who returned to the court after 21 games.

Manu didn't believe it and faced Suwan with the ball again. He couldn't believe that he played so well in the first half. It was just a halftime break, and the Chinese rookie on the opposite side had mastered the essence of defending his "snake breakthrough".

However, he had no choice but to believe it, as Suwan once again successfully predicted Manu Ginobili's change of direction and successfully "stopped" him.

In fact, it is not difficult to defend against a "snake breakthrough". You just need to control your body 100% and then wait for him to change direction... This is the same as what Jordan said about shooting being very simple, just jump up, wait for the defender to fall from the air, and then shoot the ball.

It means "Those who know how to do it don't have to do it, but those who know how to do it don't have to do it."

There are no technical tips.

Ginobili looked impatient, and his playing style also became impatient. With a casual step back, he raised his hand and threw a three-pointer.

result……

"Snapped!"

Su Wan blocked his shot with a slap.

Ginobili still didn't understand what kind of "monster" was standing in front of him.

It is simply impossible to gain space to shoot in front of Su Wan in this state with this kind of random pulling.

When the ball reached the Spurs' backcourt, Tony Parker ran quickly, but it was Suwan who was even faster.

Moreover, after he got close to the ball, he did not slow down at all. He bent over, lowered his center of gravity, scooped up the ball, and then completed a one-handed slam dunk in front of Tony Parker's astonished eyes.

"I heard your name is French Sports Car?" Su Wan dunked again, leveling the score, and tilted his head to look behind Tony Parker. Just when he was confused, Su Wan asked, "Did someone pull out your valve core?"
