The Spurs have made adjustments, whether on the offensive or defensive end, but the further back they go, the harder it is to play. The fluctuations in role players are relatively greater. The Lakers are different here. On the contrary, they start to play.
Star ball. It became easier for Tang Qian to hit Duncan. After causing Duncan a defensive foul, Tang Qian began to distribute the ball decisively.
Now he plays for the supporting axis, attracts the ball, and attacks in vain.
Inside support! This is an ability that Tang Qian has had for a long time, but has never used it well, because the Lakers win relatively easily in the regular season, and the defensive intensity in the regular season is difficult to compare with that in the playoffs, so Larry
Brown rarely arranges this kind of single-player tactics. But just now, it happened. Larry Brown said: We have been practicing for such a long time, and now it is time to show it to others. Hot, you didn’t
Problem, right? If you mess up, it's all your fault. After all, the core of this strategy is built around you.
Tang Qian nodded. He has always been very confident in his ability to play the ball.
The number of assist crystal bricks has already reached seven, and there is absolutely no problem with the first-class passing ability inside. Therefore, this can be regarded as one of the killer moves of the Los Angeles Lakers. Because generally speaking, big guys are not good at throwing and passing the ball.
Those who have this ability are the ones who can leave their names in history. And such insiders will play a huge role in supplementing tactics. Duncan of the Spurs is such a person, so the overall performance of the Spurs
The tactics are rich and the inside tactics are extremely changeable. What about the Lakers? Several people have discovered this season. In fact, the Lakers also have such a person?
Even if there is, it has been overwhelmed by the increasingly explosive data, making people ignore it.
In addition, Tang Qian did not have a classic battle to show his ability in this area, so it is not easy to be remembered by the impression flow. Larry Brown looked at the back of No. 29 and said: Go and prove your ability in this area.
Hot. Use practical actions to tell everyone that you are actually very strong in this aspect.
Tang Qian was barely able to attack the ball just now, but it was necessary. He had to do it like this, and he had to make the opponent feel that he was a little hot-headed after scoring consecutively and couldn't stop. In this way, the opponent's help defense and double-teaming would be better.
It will be deepened, which will make it easier for him to pass the ball inside and connect inside and outside.
"This ball is still hot. This time the Spurs closed in very quickly. Diaw came up quickly from the bottom corner. How will our tyrant Fang hit this ball? Or is it hard? Oh, a step-over top
Man, Duncan forcibly withstood the low position without giving up too much, which gave Diaw the opportunity to come over to help defend the encirclement! The ball will be... distributed! The ball was very decisive and the ball was distributed! Diaw had no time to return.
Ariza from the bottom corner made a three-pointer! Yes!!!" Bill McDonald's explanation was very good, and no detail was missed by his mouth. After all, he was professional, and it was indeed not simple.
Tang Qian didn't push Duncan just now, and that was intentional. He did it on purpose, to make Duncan think that he had barely resisted him, and to make Dior think that he had a chance to come and encircle him, and then... he passed the ball from inside to outside.
Ariza in the bottom corner was left open and hit a three-pointer. The Spurs' Aldridge received a "bomb ball", but he still relied on his own skills to barely score it. But in his heart, he was thinking: Can
Why don't you just give it to me when you don't have time? This will make me panic, okay?
The Lakers ignored this difficult goal, because if the Spurs really kept playing like this, they would definitely lose. This was the rhythm the Lakers wanted. The Lakers still had Tang Qian, who came over from the opposite side to help defend in the low post.
, Tang Qian threw the ball, and then made a top-kick second pass. Butler made a three-pointer? Someone else from the Spurs saved it! What a resilience! But it didn’t matter that Butler didn’t throw the ball, because he still returned the ball after receiving the ball.
He could dribble again, so he simply shook off the defense, stepped in, and shot from mid-range. The brush~ also hit the ball. Although it was not suitable for Tang Qian's direct assist, it had something to do with his inside support.
Without Tang Qian's beginning, this ball would not have been played.
This is the passing support ability of the inside players. It is not as direct as the No. 1 position, but its power is equally amazing when used properly.
For the Spurs, Aldridge made a fake move and shook Randall. Randall was fouled and made 2 of 2 free throws from the free throw line. Compared with the veteran and experienced Ade, the second-year Randle was
Del was still too young, so the opportunity was seized by the former. Repeated attacks were effective. However, Larry Brown did not replace him. The first was to ask Randall to pay more tuition to help the subsequent growth, and the second...
...Randall has a lot of strength and tonnage, so if he is here, it will be difficult for Ade to hit him from behind. With such a series of connections and internal support, he will not be able to hit easily.
Unless the inside line is facing the basket and the ball is extremely concentrated, otherwise, the support and passing capabilities of facing the basket are usually limited. This is because when facing the basket, people who are too big and have too much inertia will
It is difficult to control the ball easily, and it is difficult to make many adjustments while moving. Therefore, if the master of the inside facing the basket does not know how to post up, his passing ability cannot be improved.
It's different if you can play from behind. You can maintain your own damage while keeping an eye on all directions and listen to all directions. The speed also slows down, making it easier to make adjustments. This is especially critical for traditional insiders. So Randall can
Containing Aldridge's post-up play to the greatest extent will reduce Ade's inside coordination ability and reduce the Spurs' overall adaptability. In fact, Ade has the ability to post-up, but he is not a true post-up expert. To put it simply
That is, if the back-up force cannot carry the defender, he will lose his highlight in the back-up tonight. Instead, it will turn into various shots and meaningless passes.
At the 4th position, the Lakers have flexibility, athleticism, tonnage and strength. Except for Tang Qian, no one else in the Lakers can replace Randall. Therefore, they would rather let him be beaten by Ade on the court than limit Aldridge's back + inside line.
Support. This is the choice Larry Brown made. Just like Popovich moved Duncan to the 5th position in order to release Aldridge's energy on the offensive end, it is also a question of the coach's choice.
In addition, the Lakers also had a basket from the outside tonight, and the Spurs soon felt that playing like this was not enough.
We can only pause. Because No. 29's ability to play the ball is too good, he can break double teams with the ball, and he is absolutely first-rate inside. Such insiders are the most difficult to defend because they don't have the shortcomings of ordinary big men. So it became the so-called
It’s a two-choice situation like “Which bottle of poison do you choose between two bottles of poison?” Larry Brown looked at Popovich on the other side and thought to himself: The tricks you used to deal with me back then, I didn’t expect that I would use them against him now.
You know. Yes, Duncan’s second choice is very strong, but what about our team’s No. 29?
What do you think of his second choice?
Spurs bench area.
"Increase large-scale cross-passes!" Popovich quickly drew on the tactical board: "The Lakers' defensive lineup is too stable, and it is basically impossible for them to have problems themselves. Since our star support is
If you don’t open it, then you can only do something else. Manu, go on the field later and cooperate with Tony to accelerate the cross pass. The passing speed must be fast! Don’t be afraid of making mistakes! Do you understand?”
"But sir, isn't it too risky to do this? It's already difficult to ensure a high success rate with large-scale cross-passes, and now you have to speed up the pass to this extent? Is this..." Danny Green said before he finished speaking.
Popovich interrupted: "There is no other way. Now we need to open up the situation and break the opponent's defense. Since the conventional method does not work, we must do something unconventional. Otherwise, what else do you have?
Is it a good idea?" After saying that, Popovich lowered his head and continued to draw: "Open up the strong and weak sides! Remember! Let's open up the strong and weak sides first! This will cause problems in the Lakers' defensive front!"
After the Spurs players returned to the field, the Spurs assistant coach asked: "Greg, is this really okay? I also think the risk is too great." Popovich did not turn around.
Looking directly at the court: "Although I don't want to admit it, man, our team is really not as good as the Lakers. Especially in the playoffs, we are far behind. This team is stronger than I imagined. Larry.
Brown has single-handedly built a team that may seem inconspicuous, but is definitely as strong as any team in the league."
"This is not inferior. It refers to 73 wins alone. Greg."
"Not inferior means..." Popovich's voice was a little low: "Any team in the history of the league. Not just 73 wins."
"This..." The Spurs assistant coach was a little stunned, because it was obvious that Popovich meant... but, is it possible?
impossible.
joke?
Who doesn’t know that the strongest team in the league is the one with 73 wins? Are you going to oppose it? Isn’t this opposition a bit too big?
Staples Center.
"Oh, Greg, this old drunkard, is starting to make mistakes? He is still so restless. I remember this is not how I taught him back then." Larry Brown is now a bit "standing and talking without pain"
, he must not forget that his NBA status is currently not comparable to that of his disciple. Therefore, it cannot be said that there is a problem with Popovich. But no one is interrupting Larry Brown's statement now. After all,
Right now, the Lakers are in the lead and have the advantage on the court.
In competitive sports, winning is the last word.
If Larry Brown wins, everything depends on what he says.
Damn it, what kind of pass is this? Isn't it a bit big to play like this? Tang Qian was really surprised to see the Spurs continuously making wide-range lateral passes to create opportunities. Doing this will result in a high turnover rate and it is impossible to waver.
Povich didn't know. However, this old drunkard did it anyway. His courage was really impressive. Moreover, the Spurs really fought several times. With the tacit connection between Ginobili and Parker, the Spurs took advantage of the fire.
, scored 2 three-pointers in a row!
The score difference is back to single digits!
How can I say that Popovich is strong, he really dares to play, and the Spurs players have really high execution ability, which is enough to give the head coach face.
The Lakers were really forced to change their defensive front, but there was no way. With such a big back and forth, it would be unrealistic for you not to change at all. This allowed the Spurs to recover to a certain extent, including offensive rebounds.
How many timeouts are there? After hearing what the assistant coach said, Larry Brown pondered for a moment and then shook his head. Because he knew very well that the Spurs now need rest and adjustment more than the Lakers, so he cannot give the other side this opportunity.
Moreover, such dangerous tactics are indeed miraculous, but... how long can you hold on?
Even if you are the San Antonio Spurs.
The Lakers were still attacking, but their efficiency dropped slightly during this period, and the score difference was shrinking. Tang Qian suddenly stood up and began to rely on his personal ability to kill continuously. Even if he was defended by two people, he had to attack hard! Duncan received his fourth foul.
, Aldridge also received his third. But when it came to free throws, Tang Qian felt a little cold and missed all 4 free throws.
What a fuck!
The Lakers were a bit sad during this period, but Larry Brown still did not take a timeout. He just wanted to see if the Lakers could survive this wave. If they could survive, they would be able to kill the Spurs in one go and let their opponents defeat them today.
If Wan was completely unable to turn around and withstand it, then he might have given the Spurs some hope. But he didn't want to give any hope to the Spurs or Popovich.
This is the kind of person he is.
So he is also very suitable for teams that play tough.
Tang Qian saw that the Spurs were getting smoother, so he became cruel and began to direct the whole team to confront them. The Lakers began to focus on the outside, and Tang Qian also began to use off-ball support, off-ball pick-and-rolls, and off-ball screens to help the team on the outside.
Players have opportunities. Hey, don't mention it. Butler's three-point shooting has been bad all season, and suddenly he hits it from the bottom corner.
The Spurs are still a very enchanting team that moves the ball laterally from both sides. Damn, aren’t they just bullying others? They don’t have the tacit understanding and chemical reaction of your team. What a great team! No matter how strong they are, they haven’t won consecutive championships. No, that’s not true.
There has never been a truly dominant dynasty? Although the official gave one, there is still something missing without consecutive championships. Therefore, the Spurs are not that terrible.
No matter how strong you are, can you still be stronger than you were in 2014? That is the ultimate in your team chemistry.
I beat you that season, but this season, you guys are so stupid.
Shoot for me! Go grab the offensive rebounds! We won’t care about the opponent’s defensive counterattack! Let’s just attack them!
"Offensive? The players on this team are also interesting. Like that old man, they all have a tough temper." Popovich looked at Lakers No. 29 and said: "If he was on our team, it would definitely be different.
, his and Kawhi's inside and outside combination can definitely be compared to O.K. It's a pity, it's a pity... Well, how about giving it a try? This is his contract year anyway, right? Don't fight for it.
, I am not willing to accept it."
In Popovich's eyes, Aldridge is obviously not as good as Tang Qian, who has a tough style and first-class passing ability inside. On this point, he and Duncan have exactly the same idea.
They are also a pair of masters and disciples who have "the same chemistry".
During this period, the two sides began to compete. The Lakers relied on Butler's consecutive three-pointers to withstand this wave. Among them, Tang Qian's offensive rebound also played a great role. Helping Butler get more
There were many shooting opportunities. The Spurs finally couldn't stabilize this style of play and gradually made large-scale mistakes. The Lakers relied on a hard hit on the 29th to beat the Spurs' Duncan. He committed 6 fouls and left the game.
Without Duncan, the Spurs' interior defense instantly collapsed. Aldridge stepped in to help? Suddenly the offensive end also failed. After the Spurs missed 4 consecutive goals, the Lakers relied on a stable interior offense to directly open the score.
Then defeated the opponent 103-92, 11 points, and won 2 consecutive victories in the series. Tang Qian won the best player of the game, scoring 28 points, 27 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 4 assists. Plus 2
For the second time in a row, he led the team to open up the score, and he has a strong sense of presence. For him, there is nothing to object to. Butler also scored 23 points in this game and made 4 of 6 three-pointers, which was an impressive performance.
What about the opponent? The scoring is still very average. The main players even score a little less than the role players. It has been two games in a row. In addition, without winning, I don’t know if Popovich can withstand the pressure. However, that has nothing to do with the Lakers.
Things. There is only one thing the Lakers have to do now, go to the away game and win another game to ensure early advancement in this series.
