Chapter 835 There is still one more chapter for the first defeat~
In the second quarter, the Lakers slightly adjusted the rhythm and state of the game. D'Antoni wanted to play with speed, because in his playing system, speed and high-speed offense and defense transitions are necessary things. As long as the attack starts, the defense will leak.
It doesn't matter if the defense is poor. However, this problem has not been solved, because the Spurs seemed to have expected, or had practiced this tactical change against the Lakers a long time ago, so Parker kept up with Nash early, and then did not
The pursuit of steals is man-to-man defense as much as possible without losing position. Nash is no longer close to the age he was in Phoenix 10 years ago. It is too difficult for him to break out of Tony Parker, who is only 32 years old, so for insurance, Nash
Called a high pick and roll.
But the Spurs were obviously prepared for this ball. They didn't go out inside at all and directly used Danny Green to switch defenses. Then they used the newly replaced inside player Boris Diaw to expand the defense of Nick Young on the outside.
Although Diaw is an insider, he is only 203cm tall. He used to be a bit "depressed" in many teams, but after coming to the Spurs, he was activated by Popovich. He was rejuvenated.
energy.
Defense? Who in the Nima League dared to entrust this Frenchman with important tasks in the past? Defense? He is one of the famous defensive colanders. But as the so-called teaching students in accordance with their aptitude and giving full play to their talents, Popovich once again proved that if others can't use it well,
He may be able to turn stone into gold. Last year in this time and space and in the original time and space, this fat Frenchman actually allowed the famous LeBron James, the best player in the league, to shoot 1-for-8 under his single defense!!! Even though it was only one shot!
The emergency defense change produced perfect results.
Because his "defensive slot" was more caused by incorrect team positioning and his own self-confidence. There were times when Kwame Brown was denied points, and there were times when Yao Ming was successful in defending against Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant alone.
With Kobe? Isn't this an outside line and an inside line? There is a huge difference? But it is indeed like this. As long as this guy is placed in the right position and activated, he is the "snake oil" that the tactical team needs most.
"type.
One can play five positions or defend five positions. Although they cannot be long-lasting on a regular basis, but... this is Popovich's ability to temporarily adjust Diaw's defense according to the game and state. Generally speaking, this situation
, very disruptive to the defender's state and feeling, but for Diaw, it just "scratched the itch". He immediately came to the Spurs and became an all-around fighter. The original "four different looks" were completely changed by Popovich.
"Taiwan Balm".
As a temporary backup, he can handle almost any emergency situation.
Moreover, his short height also allows him to have faster footsteps and flexibility than ordinary insiders. It is just right to go out and guard "Yang Shaoxia" who can basically only "shoot and shoot". In this way, it also saves the Spurs' time.
The change of defense time also disrupted the overall rhythm of the Lakers. Even Mike D'Antoni off the court was a little stunned when he saw this scene.
Unexpectedly, the opponent won unexpectedly, which caused the Lakers to fall into a "backhand".
Backhand means that it is not smooth, not smooth, and deviates from the comfortable normal state.
As a result, coupled with Danny Green's strong pick-and-roll defensive ability, Nash of the Lakers was trapped in a double team.
If Nash wasn't a ball-handling master and experienced, the ball would have been intercepted early on.
But even he can't continue for a long time. If he continues, he will make mistakes.
Nash can only pass the ball to Tang Qian who is on the pick-and-roll. Tang Qian has not moved down yet, but is only one step away from the three-point line. From this place, he cannot attack, whether it is a breakthrough or a long shot.
, are all looking for death. The former's impact from such a long distance, based on the inertia of a big man over 7 feet, basically allows the defensive team to cause offensive fouls. This is why many NBA 210CM big men who go up basically never hold the ball from a high position.
The reason for the ball's breakthrough is either a problem of speed and explosive power or too much inertia, which is extremely easy to be used by opponents to cause offensive fouls. This is not a wild court, this is the highest palace of basketball, and it has the most professional referees. You are so
Doing it in professional basketball is an idiotic act. Even if the NBA inside is fully small-ball in the future, the shooting range will be expanded. Do you think that the breakthrough with the ball will be increased to beyond the 3-point line?
With strong physical coordination like Durant, his ability to break through the top arc can only be considered passable, and he mostly resorts to pick-and-roll breakthroughs and jump shots. This is especially obvious in the playoffs. Durant's ability to hold the ball is insufficient, and he is unable to compete with the opponent.
In a strong game scale, it will be amplified even more. Tang Qian is taller and stronger than Durant. This way, the Spurs will "cheat for fouls". He doesn't think that with the San Antonio Spurs'
Tactical literacy, you won't set traps all the way, and wait for him to get through. Then don't think about high-post breakthroughs, high-post shots? I go, it's better to let Tang Qian break through. In fact, the shooting rate is almost the same with or without human defense.
Anyway, it is so low that it will make you cry.
Normally, with Nash's control, he can control this kind of ball steadily and wait for Tang Qian to move without the ball before giving it to him. This allows the big man to dribble less or even not at all, and he can directly attack the basket after receiving the ball.
Or kill the basket. This is also the greatest power of Tang Qian without the ball. But the Spurs' ball prevented Nash from waiting for Tang Qian to move, so he could only play the ball in advance, and playing the ball in advance was the result. Tang Qian was
"Crucified" in place!
He was nailed to the spot! He couldn't move!
You said you don't attack, but you are the only open space in the whole court, and it is a big open space with "no one at 2 meters". You said you don't want to shoot?
You said you should attack. Tang Qian himself knew that it would be better to let others force the shot. Maybe the hit would be more reliable than if he shot from this location.
You say you pass the ball, and now the Spurs are just staring at the defender to prevent you from passing the ball. The passing route and intention are completely exposed. If you pass the ball like this now, the chance of being intercepted midway is definitely not small. And being intercepted from this position
, it will inevitably be a fast-break ball that goes straight in.
There was no other way. After hesitating for a while, Tang Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and take action. The basketball... almost became a ball without touching it. It almost became an air ball.
This is also expected. If you win, it will be blessed by the gods and you will be lucky.
Throughout the second quarter, the Lakers were still trapped, feeling like their whole body was being squeezed and restrained, unable to let go of their hands and feet.
What the Spurs want is this effect. Their research on the Lakers is obviously more thorough and targeted.
Suppressing the opponent's arrogance from the beginning, Popovich's plan took the first step.
The Lakers? They are strong on the surface, but in fact they are a team supported by a group of players with good personal abilities. Even if there is no organization and connection with the No. 10 player, the offense will be fought independently and scattered. Such a team, others
It may be difficult to deal with, but it is not too difficult for the Spurs this season. Popovich is absolutely full of confidence in this team that has been carefully polished for several years.
Because every person and every tactic was personally worked on by him, this team is definitely unique in the entire NBA. Even if you look at it in the entire history, it is the only one.
The only team that truly has mastered tactics, and there is not a trace of disharmony or instability within it.
The execution of such a team is countless times stronger than that of ordinary teams. It is also Popovich's masterpiece in recent years to break away from the last shadow of the famous teacher Larry Brown. Of course, finding the most comfortable path does not happen overnight, even if the main
A great coach like Popovich has made many deviations and mistakes along the way. But those are in the past, because the current Spurs are a team that he is very satisfied with.
As a disciple of Larry Brown, Popovich truly excelled in his career.
Popovich once said a sentence, which may not be known by many people, but it is actually the change in his basketball philosophy over the years: I hope that one day the Spurs can be strong even without their superstars.
Know how to play basketball.
It seems simple and plain, but it exudes huge basketball philosophy and truth.
What he wants to build is a real team.
It's that simple.
But now Tang Qian is very lucky and unfortunate at the same time. The team in front of him is a real team!
We can't use the word team to describe it. It's a team. It's already N times stronger than when he faced it last year!
And it is strong from the inside out, including the desire to win and the ambition for revenge.
Such a team is very scary. The energy is overflowing, the players are also in great condition, and with strong execution, the Lakers not only failed to catch up with the score difference in the second quarter, but were even wider. Halftime
At the end, Los Angeles trailed San Antonio by almost 17 points at home.
This situation is something that no one expected. The other side of the ocean is a little anxious, and some media in the United States are a little excited.
I originally thought it would be a battle between dragons and tigers, but at halftime, it turned out to be almost one-sided. Under the leadership of Popovich, the Spurs used a group of "over-the-top stars" + "grandfather" supporting actors to win a brilliant game.
The Lakers are a bit overwhelmed.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Oh, we can't play like this. The Spurs' defense is just right every time, but the Lakers didn't improve much in the second quarter. They haven't been able to show off what they have won this season." Zhang Weiping said: "It must be
We have to fight more reasonably."
Playing more reasonably? How reasonable? In fact, Zhang Weiping himself doesn’t know.
Because the team the Lakers are facing now is said to be the most reasonable team in NBA history.
This is also the most "hated" team of any game company, because it is difficult to quantify it in terms of data. It is obvious that the players' individual abilities are not very strong, but they are still extremely destructive. This really worries the development of some basketball games.
company.
And the Lakers...ever since the founding of the NBA, they have never known what reasonable basketball is.
You suddenly ask them to "play a reasonable game" with the Spurs, which feels a bit like an egg hitting a rock.
In the third quarter, D'Antoni still didn't notice the real danger and still hoped to rely on Nash to rise up and open up the situation. But tonight, Popovich taught him a lesson again. It was like the first time he was crowned NBA Coach of the Year.
It was the same as that season series. Run and gun, sorry, couldn't beat us.
That was true that season, and even more so this season.
Don’t you think it’s a bit whimsical to rely on a 40-year-old Nash to forcefully break the situation?
The current situation is that if Steve Nash does not rely on high pick-and-rolls, it will basically be difficult for him to beat his opponent, the Frenchman Tony Parker. Although Nash relies on his height to pull out a few, playing like this is not
His method cannot continue forever. Sure enough, after hitting two three-pointers, Nash's top-shooting three-point shooting percentage began to decline. He is not a No. 1 position with particularly good physical fitness. Parker just needs to not
If you are out of position, the defensive interference is basically in place.
Nash is very accurate when it comes to three-pointers, but forcing shots against people is not his strong point.
It can happen occasionally, but not regularly.
So until the end of the game, the Lakers were lagging behind by a big score. They never led their opponents once in the entire game.
In terms of the scene, this can be summed up in one word: complete defeat.
It was a complete and utter failure, and there was no reason whatsoever to explain it.
In the whole game, the Spurs scored a total of 111 points. What about the Lakers? Only 90 points. Part of it was due to the useless 11-2 climax in the last garbage time. They lost without any temper.
Even in the entire game, except for Tang Qian, all of the "Four Kings" played for more than 40 minutes, but it didn't help.
In fact, even Tang Qian played more than 35 minutes in this game. In the end, his physical fitness was obviously a bit tight.
A 21-point defeat! Caught off guard! But so real! So ruthless!
The Lakers' shooting percentage was not high throughout the game, only just 40%. This is because the substitutes helped out at the last moment, otherwise it would only be more ugly. No. 24, who had the highest shooting percentage, only had a 45% shooting percentage.
!Compared to his shooting percentage this season and his overall peak state this season, this is considered unqualified! Because Kobe’s shooting percentage is very high so far, and paired with Nash, his off-ball efficiency has soared, exceeding 58%
, almost 59%, which is much higher than the 49.7% in the regular season as a whole! This is the magic of Nash!
In the 12-13 season, Kobe, who was at the end of his original peak, paired with Nash. During that period, he averaged 26.4+5.7+5.4 in ten games, and his shooting percentage was an exaggerated 52.8%+40.5%+89.5%.
To the extent, it’s just that Nash was injured and the team couldn’t win in this mode, so No. 24 had to switch back to the previous style of play. We waited until Nash at the end of this season, so the power of No. 24 + No. 10 can only be seen in the playoffs.
.It’s so high that it’s incredible.
Therefore, Kobe only shot 45% in this game, which immediately hindered his shooting rate in the playoffs.
Moreover, the decline rate has reached 13~14%. No matter how you look at it, it has been perfectly defended.
That young man from the Spurs who seemed to have a slightly "facial paralysis" left a very deep impression on Kobe tonight.
Of course, Nash was restricted tonight and Kobe took very few shots without the ball, which was also a reason.
Followed by Nash, his shooting rate also exceeded 40%. None of the other main players had a shooting rate exceeding 40%. Both Gasol and Tang Qian did extremely poorly in the interior offense tonight, and their shooting rates were extremely low.
In the whole game, the main inside shot rate was less than 40%, and more than 30% of the shots were made. This is simply a complete defense. The Spurs' low-post defense has reached an extreme this season, and it is terrifyingly strong. It is perfectly compensated by the team.
The shortcomings of individual defense.
As long as Tang Qian and Gasol felt like attacking, there were few times when they only had two hands around them.
Kobe Bryant scored 32 points for the Lakers. The rest of the players were not very good. The second highest scorer turned out to be Nick Young on the bench. He performed well in the final "garbage time" tonight and scored all 32 points.
A high score of 19 points. Gasol only scored 11 points in this game, and he took 11 shots. Including free throws, his efficiency tonight was extremely low. Tang Qian scored even less, only 7
Starting with points, he grabbed 14 rebounds, blocked 2 shots, had 1 assist, and no steals.
What about the Spurs? Except for Parker, who scored 25 points, everyone else scored scattered points. No one scored 20 points alone. 7 players in the game reached double figures! The number of assists reached 30 times! And there were only 4 turnovers in the game!
!!Only 4 times!!!
This means that the Lakers have no chance to take advantage of mistakes.
The Lakers made 15 turnovers in the game, which is not too many, but compared to their opponents, the base number is not at the same level.
Losing is a big defeat, both on paper and in terms of statistics.
A huge defeat without any excuse.
The Lakers lost the first series at home with a score of 0-1.
