693. Offense is the best defense!



693. Offense is the best defense!

After hearing Ginobili's words, the other team members nodded in agreement, and a brief silence fell over the court.

However, Popovich then encouraged, "The tougher the opponent, the less we can back down! Everyone, rack your brains and think of a good way to contain Su Hao."

Seeing the head coach's firm attitude, the players rallied and began to offer their opinions and suggestions.

Just then, the team's core point guard, Parker, said with a helpless expression, "Coach, to be honest, we've really racked our brains trying to figure out how to deal with this Su Hao."

We tried every defensive strategy imaginable, from one-on-one marking to zone defense to switching and help defense, but we failed to succeed even once.

In my opinion, instead of focusing too much on how to contain him, we should concentrate our efforts on launching our own offensive. After all, only with a strong enough attack can we put pressure on the opponent!

After saying that, Parker gently shook his head.

Seeing even the team's star player showing such a negative attitude, Popovich couldn't help but sigh deeply.

However, he quickly composed himself and asked again, "Then... how about we try a multi-person flanking maneuver? It might work wonders!"

Upon hearing this, Jefferson muttered under his breath, "Isn't this... a multi-person gank a bit too risky? If they manage to create an opening, the consequences could be disastrous..."

"Does double-teaming work? Look at all the teams that have tried to double-team him before, but what happened in the end? They still lost miserably and suffered a crushing defeat!" Duncan frowned and said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Jefferson was about to retort, but when he saw that the speaker was Duncan, the words that were about to come out seemed to freeze, and he swallowed them back.

At this moment, Ginobili stepped forward and said, "Coach, I think instead of focusing on how to defend against the opponent's players, we should strengthen our own offensive firepower."

After all, people often say 'the best defense is a good offense'! If we can put on an efficient offensive performance, we might be able to counter our opponent."

Popovich nodded and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, "Well... what you said makes sense."

Indeed, given the current situation, we don't seem to have a good way to effectively contain that guy named Su Hao.

"In that case, let's start with the offensive!"

As he spoke, Popovich walked to the tactics board, picked up a pen, and began to gesture incessantly, explaining various offensive tactics to the players in detail.

On the other side, David Lee smiled and said to Su Hao, "Hey, Su Hao, it looks like we'll have to rely on you to carry the team in this match again!"

However, to be fair, this Spurs team is quite tenacious; they've managed to keep the score close, and the difference is only ten points now. You have to admit they have a lot of strength!

“Yes, that’s something to be proud of. And as far as I know, they’re currently ranked in the top two in the Western Conference!” Gordon chimed in.

"Oh? Really? So the Spurs have really gotten a lot stronger this season! No wonder we haven't been able to pull away from the score gap yet!"

Su Hao nodded thoughtfully.

"Don't rush, we have plenty of time. We can just wear them down. It won't be long before they can't hold on!" Curry shouted to his teammates with a smile.

At this moment, the Clippers players were gathered in twos and threes on the sidelines, chatting casually as if no one else was around, completely ignoring the intense competition that was about to begin.

On the other side of the field, head coach Mike Dunleavy was also busy. He was seen sitting in a circle with several assistant coaches, chatting casually, seemingly unconcerned about his team's tactical arrangements.

"Oh dear, look at this Clippers team, they don't even have a proper strategy! They're just chatting away!"

"Look at the Spurs over there, it's a completely different story. The head coach is focused on explaining the tactics to each player in detail, and he's incredibly serious about it!" Barkley said, his eyes wide with astonishment.

"Hey, isn't your reaction a bit too much? Don't you know what's going on with the Clippers?"

"They never had the habit of setting up tactics from the very beginning! As long as Su Hao is on the field, that's more effective than any brilliant tactic!" Miller replied casually, scoffing.

"Yes, you're absolutely right! In terms of strength, no matter how clever the Spurs' tactics are, they're no match for the powerful Clippers. They've already lost two games to the Clippers in a row, and I think this game is going to be very difficult for them!"

Barkley nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreement with Miller's point of view.

"Haha, that's true, but I think the Spurs' offensive firepower was quite fierce in this game. They shouldn't lose too badly!"

Miller grinned and made a lighthearted joke.

After the pause ended, the enthusiasm of the audience was reignited, with cheers and shouts of encouragement rising and falling.

The referee blew his whistle, signaling for the game to continue.

Both teams quickly returned to the field, using the same lineups as in the first half.

At this point, the Spurs had possession of the ball.

Jefferson calmly passed the ball to Parker.

After receiving the ball, Parker immediately faced Gordon's tight defense.

He originally intended to quickly pass the ball to Jefferson, who was in an open position, but at that moment, the situation changed drastically.

David Lee, who was originally responsible for guarding Jefferson, suddenly switched with Su Hao at some point.

Faced with Su Hao's impenetrable defense, Jefferson hesitated for a moment, seemingly losing the desire to attack.

Parker was caught in a dilemma; if he forced the pass, a mistake was likely to occur.

However, if the ball is not handled in time, the attacking time will pass quickly.

Therefore, Parker decided to create scoring opportunities on his own.

He dribbled back and forth beyond the three-point line, scanning the entire court, trying to find a suitable shooting opportunity or a teammate with whom he could safely pass the ball.

However, after some observation, he was disappointed to find that none of his teammates were able to get to the ideal position to receive the ball at that moment.

With little time left on the shot clock, Parker knew he couldn't hesitate any longer.
