Chapter 1324 Greg, you have to take good tricks this time
"This time the opponent is the Lakers, we will not take it lightly." Popovich.
"The Spurs are also a strong team this year, and we will be ready for a tough battle." Larry Brown.
ESPN expert: The Spurs have a tradition of playing dead during the regular season, so their hard power is no worse than that of the Lakers! I stand with the Spurs!
T.N.T expert reporter Kate Marin: How can the Spurs resist the tyrant's inside attack? The Thunder will die here. If this problem cannot be solved, I don't think the Spurs can take advantage.
Spurs star David Robinson: Believe in the Holy City! Believe in Popovich! Believe in Tim Duncan!
Lakers legend "Magic" Johnson: Tyrant told me that our season goal is more than just two rounds!
Lakers legend "Black Mamba" Kobe: He is one of the strongest centers I have ever seen, and he will bring everything to Angel City!
Because the Spurs and Lakers are also old rivals. Since the 1980s, there have been a lot of playoff encounters. In the current Tang Qian era, it is the same. Don’t forget that Tang Qian has played against the Spurs since he joined the NBA.
How many times have I played? I played against the Spurs in the 2013 playoffs, I played against the Spurs in the 2014 playoffs, and I faced off against the Spurs again in this year's 2016 playoffs. They are absolute enemies in the Western Conference. To say the same
The rivals in the conference, the Spurs and the Lakers, are absolutely in love with each other in the Western Conference playoffs. They basically meet once every other year.
The domestic NBA Charge Line also released a preview of the Lakers and Spurs games, and also released the data of the first two series between Tang Qian and the Spurs. In 2013, he averaged 11.9 points, 21.9 rebounds, and 7.6 blocks per game.
2.1 assists and 0.4 steals. In 2014, he averaged 26.6 points, 22.7 rebounds, 6.9 blocks, 1.6 assists and 0.3 steals per game. I don’t know what the average data will be this year. Especially in the last few games in 2014.
, Tang Qian descended to earth and scored crazy statistics. Together with Kobe, Nash, and Gasol, he finally made history. He fell behind 0-3, chased four consecutive sets, and won the victory. He entered the finals. What will Tang Qian get this year?
Everyone is looking forward to the data.
The camera turned back to the Staples Center. Because the Lakers' regular season record is better than that of the Spurs, they have the home court advantage in the series. The first game will be played at the Staples Center. Lakers fans early
When we arrived at the scene, Taylor and the Stallone sisters were also present for the game. But there were too many stars in the game in Angel City, so it was impossible to make any waves. At most, one shot would be enough.
There are a few more Taylors, because now everyone knows that Taylor is Tang Qian's girlfriend.
Taylor was dressed more casually tonight, wearing jeans and sneakers. She looked very youthful. Of course, she was not that big to begin with. But when she waved, she still made Sestin feel like she was pouting and saying something about "pretending to be young."
Sophia was more open-minded, so her mentality became much calmer, and she kept agreeing to prevent her little sister from being depressed all night.
Staples Center away locker room.
Popovich was writing tonight's top tasks and considerations on the whiteboard. Finally, he emphasized one point: Don't think that you can solve the Lakers with one method and one routine in one go. That is impossible. You must
Play patiently and patiently, and adjust your playing style and tactics at any time according to the game situation. Execution, he circled it, and said loudly, tonight's execution must be strong, otherwise, it will be easily defeated.
All the Spurs officers nodded. They knew how strong the Lakers were during the regular season. Playing against the Thunder in the playoffs showed them the true strength of the Lakers. They killed their opponents without even using their big move.
I asked you if you were panicked or afraid?
The home team locker room at Staples Center.
The Spurs will definitely use more tactics and routines. We must focus on their tactics and routines in this series. If we guard against this aspect, we have already won half the battle. Secondly...Larry Brown
He wrote directly on the whiteboard: Our main goal in this series is to play superstar ball! Moreover, we must force our opponents to play with us too!
Then, on the basis of tactical defense, they interfere with the pass and would rather give their stars one-on-one opportunities than let them play smooth ball transmission and cooperation. Do you understand?
Everyone in the Lakers team looked at each other. Isn't this the same way the Thunder used to deal with the Lakers? At least there are many places that are similar.
Hey, don't tell me, Larry Brown is planning to do this. In his opinion, the Thunder's tactics and strategies are not bad. On the contrary, they are very good. This is what you should do when playing against the Spurs. Less
What routines and tactics should we play with them? Just play more planets and more superstars. If we can't come up with tactics, they won't be able to come up with them either.
Well... didn't you say at the time that the Thunder team played like primitive people? What?
Hey, when dealing with the Spurs, you should be simple and rude, don't make things complicated with them, the more primitive, the better!
Over the years of Popovich's coaching, one of the Spurs' gates has never disappeared. That is that they are relatively afraid of the superstar ball. Once the superstar ball is opened, it will occupy the Spurs' position.
Great chance of winning.
San Antonians have always had little resistance to simplicity and roughness.
However, you have to be simple and rude enough to do it, otherwise, they will trap you in just a few clicks.
The main strategy of the series is like this, and the details will be fine-tuned. The head coaches of both sides also have a deep relationship. Larry Brown has actually always had the determination to prove himself and defeat Popovich. In the end, more than ten
In the finals two years ago, he always felt that he lost unjustly and was unconvinced. If there was a real superstar in his team, a quasi-super giant, a super giant, then the Spurs would definitely be able to beat him and they wouldn't be able to fight back.
.
Peak super giant Duncan + super god Ginobili made him feel depressed every time he thought about it.
This time, it just so happens that the old and new accounts are being calculated together.
"The last thing I want to say is... fight to death! Don't look at what I said to the outside world about fighting hard! It's all bullshit! It's all bullshit, you know? That's for people outside! In private
, I tell you, the only way we can do it is to beat the opponent violently and severely, don’t give me any hard fight! We have to beat the opponent until the opponent can’t get up! Do you know that???”
Larry Brown is obviously much more emotional in this series than in the previous one. Lakers players whispered:
What happened to the old man? Did he take gun medicine?
Don't you know? When the Spurs and Pistons failed in the tiebreaker in the finals, the old man was always very upset.
Didn’t you say it was over long ago?
Listen to the bullshit he said! Look at what he said outside, and then look at what he said to us. Is it the same thing? If he feels that it has passed in his heart, then there is something wrong! He is just a "small-bellied chicken"!
I feel like he couldn’t forget it even on the day he was buried!
Hey~ It seems that the old man has a "personal grudge" and "personal anger" against Popovich.
Well, he is really a "vindictive" old man.
Before this game, Tang Qian did something that embarrassed ESPN. As he said before, ESPN believed that the Thunder and Lakers were about the same strength, so they looked down on the Lakers. Tang Qian was one by one at the beginning.
They had all taken screenshots, and now, he decisively returned them as they were. The only words Aite and the others said was: Hey, does your face hurt?
The relationship between ESPN and his son is getting bigger and bigger. Unfortunately, Tang Qian is not an American at all, so he really doesn’t care how these American media fight against him. Anyway, when he retires, he will leave here
I'm going back to my country. But, now that I'm still here, I can't just tolerate it.
I am no longer the little rookie and little shrimp I was back then.
Therefore, with my current alliance status, I don't need to consider others in everything I do.
Besides, has the conflict between ESPN and him been going on for a day or two? Who started it in the first place?
There is no point in arguing about this now, because what Tang Qian wants is not explanation, but... suppression.
If you can understand the difference between these two words, then you will. If you don't, Tang Qian won't bother to explain.
Staples Center, at 7 p.m., players from both sides finished warming up and began preparing for the official game.
The starting players of the Lakers are Tang Qian + Randle + Ariza + Butler + Rondo. The starting players of the Spurs are Aldridge + Duncan + Leonard + Danny Green + Parker. To be honest, if this lineup has both
It was at its peak... It was probably a real dream lineup. Unfortunately, that is not the case now. The GDP team is getting older and has reached the final stage of their careers, especially their absolute core for 20 years, Tim
.Duncan, now we have reached the final fork in the road.
"Tim, are you really old, can you still fight?" Tang Qian took the initiative to joke with Duncan. Duncan has been very friendly to him since he joined the league. Although he always wanted to lure him to San Antonio, he
He had never ridiculed him. Duncan was stunned and said: "What, you finally figured it out? Are you coming to San Antonio next year? I welcome you."
"Damn it, why do you keep doing this? Can you change it to something else?" Tang Qian was speechless. I don't know since when, Spurs No. 21 always said this every time he saw him. It's the same thing.
A boring opening statement.
Aldridge had some "little resentment" and said to himself: "Tim went to talk to him proactively again..."
Sure enough, the Spurs started with a lot of tactics, all kinds of screens, running positions, passing the ball, which was dizzying. If it were a team like the Thunder, they would probably be blinded immediately and become unstable.
. But the Lakers are different. They have been mentally prepared for a long time, and they are also very confident in dealing with tactical balls. The Spurs made a continuous screen in the high post, and Danny Green turned back and ran horizontally, throwing away his defender.
A small interception, and then quickly went over to form a secondary screen for Leonard.
At this moment, Leonard used two screens from Aldridge and Danny Green, then quickly pressed his body, rushed in, and performed a one-handed chop with a bow in the middle!
"With the help of the Spurs' tactical cover, Leonard got a chance, broke through in the middle, and dunked! Oh~ I'm sorry~ Our Lakers' inside basket is not such an easy place to break into. Tyrant hot~Blk~"
Aldridge went around the middle, shot, and hit.
But the Lakers won't be afraid of this kind of ball, because Ade can't play like this for the whole game. It's too soft and ineffective. If he keeps shooting, he can't kill anyone. His scoring method is rich in skills, not something.
A particularly outstanding "one trick". And tonight, Popovich obviously made arrangements to let Aldridge play the 4th position and Duncan to take the 5th position. This is actually trying to take care of Aldridge.
, and then sacrificed Duncan.
Because everyone knows how much defensive energy you need to expend to defend the Lakers' No. 29. Aldridge's main role for the Spurs now is on the offensive end. It is not cost-effective for him to be consumed on the defensive end.
When the Lakers attacked, the Spurs adopted a single defense and gave Tang Qian a head inside. Before he could exert any force, the old man "rolled over". Damn, it was another flop!!! You are Tim Duncan.
Ah!!! Can you stop playing like this?
Seeing Tang Qian's face, Duncan could only say with a "hehe" smile: "I'm sorry, your low attack ability is too strong. I'm old now, and I don't have any ideas to defend you one on one. So, I can only slightly
Use your brain." Tang Qian curled his lips, dropped the ball and walked away. Although Duncan's behavior was a bit "shameless", it actually illustrates a point.
Duncan himself admitted that he could no longer guard against Tang Qian, or even in a situation where he could not block him at all, otherwise he would not have made such a "bad move". Relying on his excellent position under the basket and defensive space perception,
Deliberately causing Tang Qian to commit an offensive foul.
This can be regarded as defeating Tang Qian's army. At least Tang Qian was a little hesitant to easily hit with strength. The Spurs also seized the opportunity and played a large number of transitions. And they were tactical transitions. This kind of ball is much harder to hit than simple transitions.
Now, you have to think about how to play, how to move, and how to operate from the backcourt. Otherwise, if you go to the frontcourt and call tactics, it is already too slow. It loses the meaning of transition and becomes an ordinary positional tactical ball.
However, the Lakers are determined not to play tactics with the Spurs. Instead, they relax their single defense and let Ade play. Aldridge has an advantage when playing Randall alone, that's for sure, but it's not easy to play against the back. Because
Randall's body is very hard and his tonnage is also strong. When Aldridge plays, he faces the basket and plays from the outside. Of course, there are some small changes in the middle. For example, the Spurs suddenly switch to defense, and the Lakers adopt a line encirclement and weak side.
The "invite you into the urn" strategy and so on. But the biggest adjustment is that when the Spurs opened up the touch in the middle, Larry Brown immediately made a bold change and directly opened up the inside. He no longer defended the rebound and blocked the man as usual.
Everyone is there to delay and cut off the opponent's passing of the ball.
This also clearly tells the Spurs, come on, our basket is empty, come and grab the board.
Do you have this ability?
The Spurs did try, but they fell into Larry Brown's scheme. He used Tang Qian alone to withstand the opponent's offensive rebound, and then quickly allowed the team to launch several defensive counterattacks.
Because if you grab offensive rebounds, it means that your players will be closer to the basket and closer to the baseline, and in this way, the speed of returning to defense will definitely slow down.
It is true that the Lakers rarely play quick defensive counterattacks, but... this does not mean that they will not play. In fact, with point guards like Rondo around, Ariza and Butler are both fast players with very good physical fitness.
Even if he doesn't practice much, he can easily push it out if he really has the chance. When Popovich saw that Larry Brown actually "swung the trick" and defeated his own army, he immediately paused and then made adjustments. He used a lot of top arcs.
Breakthrough, Parker scored.
To whom? Mainly to Aldridge!
But Larry Brown played hard on this ball, just to keep Randall from going out and see how Ade felt. As a result, Aldridge didn't feel well and missed, and the Lakers got the rebound and then played again.
.Since it is difficult to attack from behind, let Tang Qian attack facing the basket and kill Duncan forcibly. Duncan's legs and feet are also slower now, and he is no longer invincible in single defense.
In addition, the current Duncan actually has big loopholes. You will soon know what Larry Brown means.
At that time, it will be time to use the superstar ball to unbalance the balance of the game.
Greg, I will directly beat you in this series, because the cards I have now are no worse than yours.
