Chapter 1331 It depends on whether you vote or not. Tim Duncan continues~
San Antonio, home of the Spurs.
Players and coaches from both sides are communicating.
"Greg, are you ready to go home and drink wine tonight?"
"Larry, are you ready to be reversed by us? Don't let your body develop high blood pressure by then."
"Don't worry Greg, I'm in better shape than you! You're an old drunkard, you've been weak for a long time."
"That's not necessarily true. The more I drink, the better I get, and my face becomes more rosy."
The head coaches of both sides are actually very familiar with each other, so they don’t have too many scruples when talking, but you can still feel a bit of grudge and tit-for-tat in their words. No one wants to lose. As for the players, Tang Qian mainly talks to Duncan:
"Tim, I'm sorry, the Spurs can only go so far this season."
"Tang, you are very confident." Duncan said.
"Of course. After all, our Lakers are the best at reversing your Spurs, right?" Tang Qian was referring to the historical reversal record created by the Lakers, which was obtained from the Spurs. It is one of the best background cricket teams.
1. Well-deserved reputation. Duncan's face turned slightly dark and he hummed: "We will go all out tonight, don't try to take away the victory in San Antonio easily!"
"I don't intend to take away the victory easily." Tang Qian said with a smile: "It's better to take away the victory more difficultly."
In terms of live broadcast, tonight is a national live broadcast on T.N.T. In China, it is exclusively broadcast on China Sports Channel and Little Penguin Network.
"Yang Yi, what kind of game do you think this is? The Spurs will definitely do their best in this game," Yu Jiada said.
"Of course, this game is equivalent to being eliminated directly. It is too difficult to win four consecutive sets."
online.
"Come on, Emperor Tang! Beat the Spurs! Beat Duncan!"
"Come on GDP! Come on Shuangde combination! Play slowly and win the first game!"
The Lakers' lineup is still Tang Qian + Randle + Ariza + Butler + Rondo. Before this game, Nick Young was unwell and temporarily entered the injured list to rest. All members of the Spurs are healthy, and no one is temporary.
There has been a change. In this battle, everyone on the Spurs team is very motivated. The Spurs blocked the low post and the inside line at the beginning of tonight. This is to completely prevent the Lakers from opening up the inside line. In order to achieve this goal, it must be
Let go of one of the Lakers' perimeter points or even several perimeter points.
How can I put this in perspective? The Spurs plan to prevent the Lakers from getting to the basket from the start tonight.
It can't be done like the last game, which is a combination of attacking at the basket + supporting the ball outside the basket.
This kind of drastic change of tactics is actually a last resort when you are not strong enough or the situation is unfavorable. Because it is very simple, if you are really strong enough, there is no need to do this. Doing this is just gambling on the Lakers.
The team also wanted to deal with it, but what caught Larry Brown a little off guard was that he didn't need to make any adjustments at all. The Lakers tonight... were so accurate from the outside.
The pass is a three-pointer, brush~, hit.
The three-pointer from the corner~swipe~ also hit.
A fake shot after the second pass + a one-step gain of two points, also scored.
Tang Qian didn't even perform well. He didn't even touch a single offensive rebound. The Lakers had already scored 5 three-pointers and a 21-foot long-range 2-pointer. They made 6 of 6 shots from the outside.
It's like I haven't missed a single shot. This, I mean, guys, are you... a little cruel? Can you still let me happily brush off offensive rebounds?
You guys make it seem like I have no sense of existence.
Of course, this was just a little "teasing" by Tang Qian. He didn't really think so. His teammates felt good, which he couldn't ask for. As for the Spurs, the Spurs were a little confused. This... what is this? So accurate?
The previous two games were obviously not easy to beat. Are you trying to tease us? Including Popovich, they were all a little confused by the Lakers' wave. If the assistant coach hadn't reminded him, Popovich
I almost didn't come back to my senses.
How long has it been? Halfway through the first quarter, you have already conceded five three-pointers? Or are you still making every shot? Is this nonsense?
What a nonsense!!!
But you still have to change, because the Lakers are already leading by 2 digits this time. This means that Popovich’s previous arrangements have no chance to be effective. However, the NBA is like this, and the plan cannot keep up with the changes. Who knows
The Lakers' three-pointers were so accurate at the start of tonight's game? You know Popovich will definitely not set up defense like this.
Change it, otherwise what else can we do? We can't let the Lakers continue to shoot.
The Spurs changed. They deliberately let go of the weak side, which was to let the Lakers play. After all, they are not the Warriors, and they cannot kill people simply by relying on three-pointers and long-range shots. So this opportunity appeared, and the Lakers
The team will probably change their style of play. Of course, the Lakers want hooks, but whether they can defend them well is another question. But they must first control the Lakers' outside touch. Otherwise, the Spurs will be afraid of being attacked if they play like this.
At halftime, it was "hey". The Lakers did go to the weak side, and the Spurs were another gambling defensive tactic. They sacrificed the weak side, and then crazily piled up the strong side in the low post and at the basket. This still needs to be restricted.
The Lakers' ability to kill under the basket. Tang Qian + Randle is too lethal. You can't help but guard against it.
This time it was Popovich who got the better of him. The Lakers' weak side didn't play well and only made 1 of 5 shots. The Spurs took the opportunity to catch up a little bit. Tang Qian tried to hit a few, but
There were too many people on the opposite side, and the effect was not good. He couldn't cause a lot of damage to the Spurs' inside players like he did in the last game. But it didn't matter, Larry Brown adopted the method of "reacting to changes by staying the same"
Confrontation. Can't we get in? Well, don't even try to get in.
It's still the same as the first two games, restricting the Spurs' conduct and tactical operation, controlling three-pointers, mid-range and one-on-ones, allowing the Spurs to come forward. Larry Brown actually also made a "bait", and now the Lakers
The best areas to play are 2-pointers from mid-range and one-on-ones inside. If the Spurs can open up either of these two areas, the Lakers will be passive. Popovich naturally also sees this "problem" in the Lakers' defense.
, immediately arrange the team's attack.
Shuash~ The Spurs' mid-range shooting tonight was really good, so the Lakers took a timeout. After the timeout, Larry Brown changed to the team's strongest defensive lineup, a super unlimited defensive lineup. He replaced Randall and replaced him.
Covington. In this way, the supplementary defense and defensive expansion suddenly appeared a big upgrade. Just now, the Spurs were shooting relatively smoothly from mid-range, but they were suddenly stopped.
However, it is not that there are no attack points. For example, once Covington makes up for it, he can quickly insert it to the fourth and fifth players, and then let one of them attack. Aldridge forced one through the basket, but unfortunately he was defeated by the Lakers 29
No. 1 was blocked head-on, and the basketball was forged. Butler of the Lakers broke into the paint and caused Danny Green's blocking foul in the middle, resulting in two free throws. At this time, Popovich began to say to Aldridge: "Don't attack the basket.
, the opponent's rim protection is too good, use more shooting attacks! You can do it! Believe in yourself!" It seems that Ade has a strong shooting ability, so after he made a hit, the Lakers immediately stepped on Tang Qian, which allowed him to
The offense has been greatly restricted. However, there is also a problem...that is, what should Duncan do?
In order to limit the Spurs' transmission and tactical operation, and in order to limit the Spurs' three-pointers, the Lakers must let Covington be a "firefighter". Wherever there is a problem, go there. But the Spurs are the Spurs after all.
It's impossible to be defended so much that you can't even pass the basketball. So once the pass comes out, as long as it goes inside, Covington goes out to "put out the fire", and Tang Qian can only perform "one defense and two defenses".
To protect the basket, let alone one to defend two, there is only one center in basketball. Even if one defends five positions, it is OK. Whoever comes in, Tang Qian is confident to hold him down and defend him. But the Spurs
Obviously not that stupid, they made a shot from the edge of the basket. Aldridge and Duncan both tried their best to spread the ball, and then the other one passed the ball to whomever they were guarding.
Tang Qian still chose to defend Aldridge, which was equivalent to leaving Duncan free.
Duncan has a basket, and even people who don't watch the ball very well should know a little bit about the special skill of hitting the mid-range shot back then. It is estimated that only a fool would let go of Duncan's shot. Tang Qian will be fooled tonight.
Once. However, he made this choice on purpose. Because he also had outstanding statistics once. This year, Duncan's basket was no longer good and declined. So he chose to focus on Aldridge and selectively let go of Tim Duncan.
This man is said to be the No. 1 PF in NBA history.
To be honest, Duncan's career, whether it is a mid-range shot from 10 to 16 feet or a mid-range shot from 16 to 23 feet, has been very strong. Both exceeded 40%. So letting go of Duncan's shooting is not a particularly wise thing.
However, since the beginning of the 2013-14 season, Duncan's mid-range shooting has begun to decline. It has been declining year by year. By this year, it was completely useless.
The shooting rate of mid-range shots from 16 to 23 feet is only 27.8%. And the shot ratio has reached about 18%. So far in the playoffs this year, not a single mid-to-long-range 2-pointer has been made!
Therefore, Tang Qian chose to let go of Duncan!
This is not a hot-headed choice.
However, although the data is written like this, Duncan is one of the top ten super giants in history. Last year, he was able to average close to 18+11+3+1+1 per game. Who knows if this will happen?
Activating him? But asking him to let go of the inside man Aldridge, who is famous for his shooting, is even more impossible.
This was also Tang Qian's decision.
You can't have the best of both worlds all the time in life, and it's the same on the basketball court. Sometimes you have to choose.
It all depends on Duncan. If Duncan is right, the Spurs may be able to revitalize and get out of the current predicament.
As soon as Tang Qian came over, the basketball was passed from Aldridge's hand to No. 21 on the other side.
Duncan took the ball and shot from an open position.
