Chapter 584 The real strength of the San Antonio Spurs is to burn the leader~
"I didn't expect the Los Angeles Lakers to do this. It's really beyond my expectation." After Popovich waited for the players to come off the court, he did not reprimand him. Instead, he said alone: "In this case, let's take it.
Come on, show your true skills, take the next ball, and execute offensive tactic No. 19. On the defensive end, Tim, you can do it according to the situation."
The Spurs' No. 21 nodded. At this time, he made a digression and said: "Greg, how much salary space do we have next season? Is it 10 million?" Popovich was slightly taken aback, but very quickly.
He quickly guessed the meaning of the former's words and said: "No, Tim, it should be five to six million dollars over the salary cap."
Although Popovich is only the head coach, he has great authority in the Spurs uniform staff. Let's put it this way, he used to be both the head coach and the general manager of the Spurs. Although it didn't last long, he has
Who knew that the "initial team" of the Spurs was created by Popovich? The core team of 1994, R.C. Buford, Hank Egan, Mike Budenholzer and others followed Popovich and took root in the Spurs.
, instantly put the San Antonio Spurs into a 20-year period of prosperity.
So Popovich seems to be neither in the management nor in the uniform team. This is just an illusion. Look at his real situation. In addition to not being the general manager, he is also the executive chairman of the Spurs. In addition... this old man is also the president of basketball affairs of the Spurs Group.
!!!
Furthermore, the current general manager of the team, R.C. Buford, is still the "core team" that Popovich brought over when he came here.
So I have to say that what Popovich has now with the Spurs is what "Zen Master" Jackson wanted in Chicago and Los Angeles. But unfortunately, there are very few owners like the Spurs in the NBA, so
"Zen Master" Jackson does not have this blessing. Therefore, it is not surprising that the former knows the Spurs' salary space very well.
The NBA's league salary cap next season is US$58.67 million, and the Spurs' salary structure, plus five or six million, is approximately between US$63 million and US$64 million. For a big city team, this may be just
It's drizzle, but for small city teams, it's completely different. One penny, two halves spent, this has been the truth for NBA small city teams for many years.
"What about the luxury line? Will it be touched?" Duncan asked. Because the Spurs have a reasonable salary structure all year round, they usually do not touch the luxury line. They have only paid luxury tax twice in history, so he must ask.
Ask this question. Although Popovich is the head coach, he is also quite familiar with the scope of work of the uniform team. After thinking about it for a moment, he said: "If you calculate the luxury line for next season, it will be about 71 to 72 million US dollars."
If you leave tens of millions of spaces between them, you will probably hit this line."
"Really?" Duncan thought for a while and said: "If I can sign that kid, I would like to reduce his salary slightly so as not to touch the luxury line." Popovich looked at No. 21 and said: "Do you think he will do it?
Will he reach the tens of millions level next season? Tim?" Duncan blurted out without hesitation: "Of course, and I think we should grab him as soon as possible and then sign a long-term contract with him, otherwise the cost of retaining people in the future will definitely be more than this.
Price."
"His off-court style is a bit flamboyant..." Before Popovich finished speaking, the Spurs said on the 21st: "That's because he is in Los Angeles, the City of Angels. If he comes to San Antonio, I think he will definitely be subtle.
It will change slowly. Besides, Greg, the team is currently lacking strong blue-collar workers. If he comes, I think I can invest more in the offensive end to maximize the help to the team."
Popovich smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, Tim, I understand your thoughts, but if we can really sign him, I don't think Mr. Pete Holt will be stingy with this luxury tax! Don't really think that we are a '
Stingy, as long as the money is well spent, then I think Mr. Pete Holt and Buford will nod decisively." Duncan nodded when he heard this and said: "Well, Greg, win this game first.
talk later."
Popovich replied: "Of course, Tim, you better not get discouraged midway."
"Don't worry, I will continue." Spurs No. 21 said with a calm expression.
Just when Tang Qian thought the Lakers could overtake the Spurs in one breath, Gregg Popovich and the GDP combination made him understand for the first time that basketball can still be played like this. In the NBA, tactics are very difficult.
This elusive thing, if used well, can improve the success rate of offense and defense. If it is not used well, it is simply "superfluous" and "self-defeating". Moreover, American players are not as dependent on pure tactics as they are in Europe and Asia.
The players are so big. Moreover, the tactics are too simple and do not require much practice. Each team is almost the same.
But there is one team in the league that is famous for its rich and even complex tactics. Yes, this is the San Antonio Spurs. How rich are the Spurs' tactics? In Leonard's words, if other teams in the league
There are 100 kinds of teams, so the Spurs have at least 200 kinds in total. Do you think it’s cool? The more tactics, the more powerful the team system is? Facts have proved that it is just the opposite. What does it mean? Proficient in mastering 7 to 8 kinds of tactics and running,
Perhaps it is the best choice in history!
Take the Chicago Bulls before "Zen Master" Jackson as an example. At that time, the head coach of the Bulls was Doug Collins. What was his tactical philosophy? It was the famous "A.play.a.day"! The so-called "one day, one day"
"A set of tactical concepts"! In the NBA at that time, the Chicago Bulls definitely had the most and richest tactics, so rich that they eventually became cumbersome, lengthy, and burdensome. Needless to say, in general NBA games, simple tactics are used by all teams.
, mainly exclusive tactics and special tactics that are different from other teams. The number of such tactics for ordinary teams is between 7 and 15, and will not exceed 20. Because no matter how many there are, it will be difficult for the players to have a tacit understanding.
Once you master it, after all, practicing a tactic takes a lot of time.
Before the 1990s, in the hands of Doug Collins, how many tactics must be memorized by Bulls players? According to Jordan's own recollection, there were more than 50, and the former also liked to frequently add "new inspirations" and "new tactics". In this way
Come on, in fact, the "tactical burden" of the Bulls is quite large. It takes a lot of daily time for the players to just memorize the tactics and become familiar with them, and history has proven that the results are not very good.
On the other hand, the "triangle offense" is actually a set of tactics that constantly changes according to the situation on the field. So as long as you understand it thoroughly, it will be quite simple and quite effortless to use it. Because more
Yes, it depends on your instinct, your experience, and your subconscious mind to operate. But this kind of tactic requires a lot of understanding and talent. If you don't have the talent to understand, then it is very likely that you won't be able to learn it at all. At most, you can only wrap your head around it.
So generally speaking, NBA teams still adopt a "multi-tactics" strategy. Generally speaking, 7 to 15 sets of exclusive tactics are more reasonable and easier for players to accept. And I also want to emphasize that the NBA tactics we call are all
"Unconventional tactics" are "exclusive tactics" or "special tactics". In a game, the number of times they are used is far less than the number of times conventional tactics are used.
Why? Because this type of tactic is complex and has many steps, so it consumes a lot of energy and energy. If it is implemented for a long time, the players on the field will definitely be exhausted. The more they play, the more mistakes they make, and the more they play, the more mechanical they become.
.And for many young players, they simply do not have the patience and ability to run tactics. Excessive use of "tactical balls" will definitely be counterproductive and achieve half the result with twice the result.
But there is a team in the NBA that can live up to the title of "tactical treasure trove."
It's the San Antonio Spurs.
Why? San Antonio's 20-year stable core and stable structure are the source of the title "Treasure House of Tactics." Without this condition, there is no need to think about it. Because tactics are the movement of a team as a whole.
No matter how good an individual is, he or she cannot do it well.
With the core structure remaining the same for 20 years, they only tinkered with the puzzle. Therefore, the Spurs' team chemistry and team chemistry have always been at the forefront of the league. Plus, the famous coach Gregg Popovich has taken care of everything.
, so it’s not surprising that Kobe Bryant would openly envy him.
After all, this is the only example in the history of the NBA, and there is no more semicolon.
So when Popovich made up his mind and started "tactical ball play", the Lakers' crisis suddenly became apparent.
The Spurs serve from the backcourt. During this period, all the GDP combinations are on the court, because in order to maximize the power of the "tactical ball play", the degree of tacit understanding and chemical reaction between players will be the key to success or failure. Needless to say
, the GDP combination may be one of the combinations with the best tacit understanding and strongest chemical reaction in NBA history. Therefore, if the three of them play at the same time, they will maximize the probability of success of the "tactical ball".
The Spurs' lineup has become: Tim Duncan, Matt Bonner, Manu Ginobili, Danny Green, Tony Parker. It seems a bit unexpected that the Spurs actually made the team at such a critical moment.
Taking down the strongest defensive gate on the outside, Kawhi Leonard? This immediately made the Lakers players think that they had made a mistake.
Mike D'Antoni also frowned in confusion, looking at the five Spurs players thoughtfully.
What's the situation? Why did Gregg Popovich make this substitution? Is there any mystery?
Of course there is, but Mike D'Antoni hasn't seen it yet.
Tony Parker slowly dribbled the ball through the half, and then waited for all the Spurs to get into position. Tang Qian concentrated and was ready to assist and make up defense at any time. But what happened next was unexpected. Parker did not handle the ball immediately, but instead
It was Matt Bonner on the inside who moved first. He took the lead to run to a position 1 or 2 steps inside the right three-point line. Then Ginobili, who was outside the right three-point line, made a move. He started.
He headed toward the Lakers' free throw line. Of course, Meeks wouldn't leave it alone and quickly followed up, but only halfway through, he was blocked by someone.
When I looked up, who was it if it wasn't the Matt Bonner who was just mentioned?
"I'm blocked, hurry up and make up the defense!" Jodi Meeks could only shout in desperation.
Gasol rushed out from the inside, trying to chase the Spurs' No. 20, but he didn't know that Parker had no intention of passing the ball to Ginobili, and when Ginobili ran to the edge of the free throw line
, stopped suddenly, leaving people confused. At the same time that Gasol followed up, Danny Green quickly moved sideways from the corner position on the left to the right, and of course Darius Morris was chasing after him.
He was reluctant to give up, but after only three or four steps of pursuit, he was forced to stop like Meeks in front of him.
The reason was that Manu Ginobili, who had just moved over, used his body as a wall to block Morris.
So Danny Green passed easily and ran to the right side of the Lakers' three-point line. At this time, Parker's pass also arrived. After receiving the ball, the former immediately took off and shot without hesitation. The basketball was open and the arc was drawn.
Brush~
In the end, it was clean and pierced the Lakers' net.
92-84, the score difference was once again widened to 8 points.
The move just now seemed complicated, but it actually happened within a few seconds. Even many moves were performed with the front and rear feet at the same time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a big open ball to appear in a short period of time. It is equivalent to Matt.
Bonner blocked Meeks, allowing Ginobili to easily go to the free throw line to cover Danny Green, and then also attracted the defense of Lakers Pau Gasol, and the Spurs No. 20 held him back.
The Lakers have two people. It’s not over yet. Don’t think that after Manu Ginobili runs away smoothly, Matt Bonner can call it a day. In fact, his work has just begun. Because he still has to continue to block his body.
It took Jodi Meeks a short while before Danny Green came over, but there was no one in front of him and he was open to take a shot.
The whole tactic seemed to be completed in a few seconds. In fact, it was a big change of 4 people. No, in fact, if we take it more seriously, Tim Duncan also made a tactical move just now, attracting the Lakers No. 29 and shorting the Lakers.
The right inner area of .
In this way, even if the tactical run fails, the end point can be changed from outside to rushing inside to score points.
And this kind of tactics, if the entire team does not cooperate tacitly, will only be lame, staggering, and making a fool of itself.
But when the coordination is in place and the coordination is complete, it is very powerful and can forcefully create vacancies and space.
This is also where tactical ball makes the most sense under intense defense.
And this tactic also has a professional name: Hammer.A, which when translated into Chinese is "Operation Hammer" or "Hammer Tactics". This is also one of the most slippery tactics used by the San Antonio Spurs.
All of a sudden, the Lakers felt a huge pressure.
From players to coaches, it's all like that.
