Brush ~ Kobe hit another breakthrough layup. Although the Spurs' defense was very timely, No. 24 still managed to hit it in, which was very difficult. At this time, Popovich's voice rang out,
Wait: "Switch tactics and use Z tactics! At this stage, we will temporarily suspend the attack on the Lakers' basket!"
The so-called Z tactic is the Zipper.Series tactic, one of the eight basic tactics of the Spurs. Translated into Chinese, it can also be called the "zipper tactical system." And a basic core of this tactic is to create opportunities for long-range strikes.
Create space. So why did Popovich say he temporarily paused attacking the basket? That's it.
In order to avoid a stalemate at the last moment, we must widen the score as soon as possible and establish a solid score difference advantage while there is still a little time. The Lakers' interior defense is in good shape right now, so flexibility is natural. As I said, this Spurs
The team no longer has the kind of superstar who can "finally decide". Duncan used to be one, but this season, he is no longer. Compared with his peak, his personal ability is not even a little bit behind.
At least if you don't break out into a high-explosive state, it will be difficult to achieve a key one-on-one star attack.
Therefore, the tactical ball has undoubtedly become the first choice.
After receiving Popovich's tactical instructions, the Spurs' Tony Parker quickly made a gesture, and then all the Spurs players changed their positions and positions. Parker stood on the right side and broke through to almost three points.
The ball was passed to Manu Ginobili who came out from the inside line. Although it was not impossible for Parker to break through Jordan Farmar in front of him, he did not choose to do so.
Ultra-high-quality tactical execution is a major part of the Spurs' team culture. Few players "like to make their own decisions."
When Ginobili received the ball and headed for a three-pointer from the top of the arc, Parker suddenly started and hit the Lakers' bottom line from a 45-degree angle on the right side without the ball. Jordan Farmar couldn't catch up with the ball.
After all, he is still in his twenties and young. His defensive ability may not be high, but his defensive attitude has always been relatively dedicated, but... he was soon forced to stop.
This person was like a car that had just accelerated and was forcibly stopped with a "whoosh".
"Watch out Parker! I'm blocked! Watch out Parker!!!"
As soon as the Lakers were reminded by Jordan Farmar, they immediately saw the "French sports car" passing directly from the right baseline and going directly to the left baseline. The Lakers players wanted to delay Parker, but at this moment,
The Spurs' two double screens on the bottom line have been formed, they are Duncan and Leonard, so Parker successfully reached the left corner and received Ginobili's top arc pass without any defender.
Then, he actually wanted to take a shot!
He actually chose to use Parker, who is least good at shooting three-pointers, to end the game with Parker's main tactics??? Mike D'Antoni was once again surprised by the Spurs' head coach. Unexpected, unprepared, Popovich's on-the-spot adaption and tactics of the team
In terms of setting, it really surpasses D'Antoni.
A big chunk.
So far, D'Antoni has basically never won a coaching victory. He has been suppressed by the "old drunkard" in San Antonio throughout the whole process.
Yes, Parker has only taken very few three-pointers in his career, and the highest period was even in his rookie years, but if you completely ignore his three-pointers, he will teach you a lesson. For example, this
This season, Parker's three-point shooting percentage has reached a career high, 37%! And it will continue to rise in the next three years, reaching 40%!
However, the base number of shots is too "poor", only averaging 1+ per game, so Parker's three-pointers are basically a move that every team does not pay much attention to. Popovich's current coaching style is more
Since the initial period, he has developed a lot. He is no longer a slightly conservative style of play. He has gradually begun to like to make strange moves, use cunning strategies, and play risky cards. Therefore, this further illustrates the point that everyone in this alliance
, they are all changing in motion. Don’t treat them all as fools or as static “paper figures”.
The basketball adjusted for a while before the French shot it out.
The ball drew an arc in the air, then circled around the basket, and finally fell into the net bag as expected.
Brush~3-point hit~
Kobe Bryant of the Lakers broke through and scored, and the basketball fell into the hands of Gasol inside. Gasol shot, but Duncan interfered with the basketball, so it fell out of the basket. The ball landed completely on the other side, and Tang Qian was beyond his reach.
The Spurs protected the rebound, continued to play steadily, and began to run tactics.
Only the Spurs can sustain such frequent tactical attacks. On the other hand, the overall energy and concentration of ordinary teams cannot be maintained for such a long time. This is why tactical balls are often defeated at the last moment.
But one reason why stars play in isolation is that the power is very strong, but the consumption is also very high. Forget about small coordination, if it involves big tactics and big coordination balls, if you do a few more rounds, the chance of something going wrong is very high.
However, this Spurs team is a bit "special". The strong team understanding and chemical reaction have made their tactical use almost reach a peak in NBA history. Popovich carefully selected players and long-term stability.
The tactical core lineup is the reason why the Spurs can defeat the Heat in this time and space.
At least in terms of "tactical tolerance", the Spurs are much better than other historical teams.
After all, they can achieve this level by relying on this.
It's another "Zipper.Series" tactic, but it's obviously different from the previous one. This tactic is called "Zipper.Series-Fan" within the Spurs. The focus is on Duncan's low screen and Diaw's high screen, and then use Parker's
The breakthrough is an illusion and bait. Before the breakthrough reaches the free throw line, he throws the basketball in his hand towards the bottom corner. The people running over from the bottom corner are Kawhi Leonard and Gasso who were standing under the basket just now.
I deliberately went out to cover up the defense, but Spurs No. 21 had expected it. He stood firm and blocked the Spaniard.
It's open again! Leonard took a three-pointer from Tony Parker. Fortunately, the ball didn't go in, otherwise it would have been an absolutely heavy blow to the morale of the Lakers! The score difference would have been widened again! Tang Qian protected the defensive rebound.
!Pass the ball to Farmar, and the Lakers attack again.
The Lakers' offense is still Kobe's. It seems that Kobe has no intention of handing over the ball in this game. He wants to take over the game and dominate the remaining minutes of the Lakers. For this ball, he still chose a breakthrough layup with a higher success rate.
, but after entering the penalty area, the Spurs closed in too quickly. Duncan took the lead and stood in front of Kobe, raising his hands in the air, his movements clean and undelayed. And this game is the Spurs' home court, so there is no need to worry about whether it will happen or not.
"Whistle bias". Duncan's role is to use his experience and defensive position to destroy Kobe's original offensive rhythm and slow down Kobe's original offensive speed. Obviously, he succeeded. Because Kobe was hindered, the speed of his offensive actions
and the speed has slowed down.
Leonard actually caught up with this ball and used his super wingspan to hit Kobe with a big block on the back of his head, and the basketball flew out of the baseline.
Kobe looked back and glanced at Leonard, but the latter didn't react at all, as if he hadn't blocked the ball just now.
Still extremely paralyzed.
The Spurs' defense is not perfect, especially the protection of the low post, which has always been the best in the league.
Of course, the Lakers concentrated their offense too much in Kobe's hands, which is also a factor. This will make it easier for the opposing team to judge the former's shots and attacks. Kobe is very strong, but he is still alone, so often
It is natural for individual singles to be targeted by rival teams, not to mention that this team is also called the San Antonio Spurs.
Several times, Mike D'Antoni couldn't help but want to fuck Nash. Without Nash, he wouldn't be able to exert much effort with the Lakers. But when he saw Popovich's face, he hesitated again. Obviously, the Spurs
The team is a team with a strong attack at the 1 position, which is different from the previous Rockets and Mavericks, so changing it will allow the Spurs to easily score points. This is more damaging to the fighting spirit than being beaten tactically.
.
When the baseline ball was sent from the frontcourt, Kobe didn't even have a chance to touch the ball. The two Spurs were pushing him, leaving him no room to catch the ball calmly. So in the end the basketball could only be passed to Nick Young, Nick.
You don't have to count on Yang's passing awareness. Data shows that when he gets the ball, about 80% of the time he won't pass it out again.
It can only be used as an endpoint.
The career high of Yuan Shikong is only 1.5 assists. For example, he only averages exactly 1.0 assists per game in his entire career. In the future, he may fall below this number and become "Mr. A few assists per game". Or even
There is also a famous joke, that is, Nick Young only passed the assist data once to the team leader Kobe Bryant in his two seasons with the Lakers!!!
This probability is simply impossible.
No wonder some people say that the person who really dared not pass the ball to Kobe was Nick Young.
This is not actually because he doesn’t like Kobe. On the contrary, he is openly “Kobe”. He has expressed his “Kobe attributes” many times in public before he came to the Lakers. It’s just his style of play, that’s it.
In fact, the regular season is fine. If you look at the playoffs, as of 2017, Nick Young averaged 0.3 assists per game in the playoffs. So after Nick Young gets the ball, he takes a few dribbles and then jumps up and makes a strong shot.
Take action.
Ginobili may not be as strong defensively as Danny Green, but he is also experienced. He directly used small-scale interference without losing position, as if to say: If you force the shot to go in, I will admit it, so you are ruthless.
Bang~The basketball didn't enter the net, it hit the basket and came out.
"Yang Shaoxia"'s shooting percentage has never been very high. He is actually very accurate in the open position, but... he just likes to pull up and shoot from behind after dribbling. In the original time and space, Kobe Bryant was injured and allowed him to focus on the offense for a period of time.
Time, his true colors were immediately revealed. The hit rate dropped to between 33% and 36%.
However, Tang Qian will not let go of rebounds. Even if Duncan is a "explosion" at this age, even if he is in "The.Zone", he will not be as good as the current "demigod" Tang Qian. Unless he is a "super god", he is almost there. But
, "Super God", do you think it is so easy to enter? After the ability declines, it will be even more difficult to enter the palace of "Super God".
The rebound was picked off by Tang Qian, but the Spurs quickly organized a siege inside, and Tang Qian could only pass the ball out.
In fact, it's not enough if he doesn't pass. His current physical fitness is at its lowest level, and he's pretty good on the defensive and rebounding ends. That's just the effectiveness of the "demigod". Now he's playing hard, and the "inner demon" is weakened.
The brutal rhythm and the Spurs' inside protection, do you think it's a joke?
The basketball was passed to Gasol, who made a mid-range shot from the open position. He finally fulfilled his mission and scored.
But the Spurs are not upset about this kind of ball, because it is obviously not a regular play, and it is impossible for Gasol to hit and kill consecutively.
Is there anything in a basketball game that doesn't allow anyone to score? Just focus on the strongest offense and the offense with a higher success rate. As for unconventional offenses and lucky balls, there is nothing you can do about it. Instead of worrying about it
It's better to concentrate on the next offensive and defensive round.
The game time is getting shorter and shorter. Now the Spurs and Lakers are hitting the key points, and no one wants to lose easily.
The Spurs want to sweep the Lakers and buy themselves a lot of rest and recovery time before the finals. The Lakers want to "save their lives" and work hard to continue playing this series.
Both sides missed several shots, and the Spurs stopped using complicated tactics. However, they became stronger and stronger on the defensive end. The Spurs' defense has become stronger and stronger this season! Look at the field.
Losing points on average, regular season playoffs and finals. Upgraded defense at every level, getting stronger with more defense!
Fortunately, their core lineup is aging, and they can only use their strength at critical moments. Otherwise, if they are all young and at their peak, this ball will be impossible to play. At this time, another one that D'Antoni and the entire Lakers team are without
Something came to mind. The Spurs actually raised their hand and made a three-pointer. Looking at the speed, the entire team was not in position to complete it. This was completely impossible in the way the Spurs played.
The person who made this unreasonable ball was none other than Manu Ginobili.
He is also the only San Antonio player who allows Popovich to leave the tactical system and choose the opportunity to take action.
It has been like this for so many years.
When it comes to the freedom and wildness of shooting, among the Spurs, Manu Ginobili is the first choice.
Compared with last year's injury, Ginobili's condition this year is much better and improved a lot. For example, in last year's playoffs, his field goal percentage per game was only less than 40%, and his three-point shooting rate was even worse.
, dropped to just over 30%, and the handicap was only 20%. This is a huge loss for the Spurs. Don’t think that the Spurs are so strong because they always have reasonable goals. In fact, in many of the Spurs’ games,
None of them were won by reasonable shots. The most obvious one was, of course, the 2005 Finals. In that kind of meat grinder battle, Duncan at his peak only shot 41.9% from the field, and Ginobili was the only one.
The outside players actually used data close to 19+6+4+1 and a shooting rate of 49.4%+38.7%+85.4% to help the Spurs defeat the Pistons. Do you want to know how terrifying this shooting rate is? The shooting rate of the Spurs
The highest! Players with a three-point shooting percentage of more than 1+, the two teams have the highest! The Spurs have the highest free throw shooting percentage! The Spurs have the highest number of assists! The Spurs have the highest number of steals!
As a player whose upper limit is to reach the All-Star level, he has not even reached the All-Star peak yet, but can often enter a high-explosive state. This is undoubtedly a bit "scary". To put it simply, an ordinary star player will spend his whole life.
None of them can reach the level of "Super God" once, such as Parker, who is a typical example. But this guy can maintain "Super God" continuously and explode continuously. This can be regarded as an exclusive personal talent of Argentina's "Demon Sword".
Even others can’t envy you.
Therefore, Popovich's Spurs team has actually always had "unreasonable players" and "unreasonable playing styles." His representative is No. 20, Manu Ginobili.
A ball like this was completely unexpected, and the Spurs themselves didn't even think of it as a joke.
Because Manu Ginobili is such a type of player.
During certain periods of time, he played like Kobe's unreasonable style, and he was very strong, really very strong.
After all, the defensive care he receives is generally not as good as Kobe's, so when he explodes, he is naturally more powerful.
Can you imagine Kobe coming off the bench and then getting injured like that? Ginobili is a "specific time period version" of Kobe.
This goal also made the Spurs' AT&T Center Arena suddenly louder.
In the domestic online live broadcast room, after seeing this goal, there was a lot of lamentation, and only a small number of Spurs fans left 66666 messages.
This means that barrage has not become popular yet, otherwise it will definitely be blocked.
Of course it's not 66666666, but all kinds of complaints and curses. As the only NBA team with Chinese players, the Lakers' current status is the same as that of Yao Ming's Rockets. They have basically become the home team for most people in the country.
Tianchao Sports Channel.
"The goal was scored. The Spurs' performance was a bit unexpected." Su Qun obviously had a preference for Tang Qian and the Lakers in her heart, so she couldn't help but lamented. "Ginobili was originally a surprise player, he
He is the type of assassin who hides in the entire Spurs team. Ignoring him is the price in front of you. The Lakers paid the corresponding bitter price for underestimating the enemy." Yang Yi is a typical self-proclaimed person who does not have a "home team" and discusses everything objectively, so he continued
Said: "Look at the time, there is less than a minute and a half left, and the Spurs are still 5 points ahead of the Lakers. This goal may be a sign of this series in this game. The Lakers may still have a chance, but they have already
It’s getting smaller and smaller.”
This is a storyteller-like style, that is, an exuberant explanation style. If you are a basketball novice and pseudo-fan, it is really more interesting than listening to some professional tactical analysis and opinions. This can also be regarded as a performance that captures the market.
Bar.
At the Spurs AT&T Center, Popovich nodded, which is why he let Ginobili play.
In the midst of a stalemate, Spurs No. 20 has been a good icebreaker.
Although in this game, Kobe Bryant of the Lakers played very well, and his performance on the 29th was much stronger than in the previous two games, and even once contained the Spurs' ball-passing inside impact. However, the twists and turns of the game are over, as long as the win
After winning this game, the Spurs are already on the stage of the finals.
The Lakers called a timeout, not to set up any tactics, or even to adjust the personnel. D'Antoni's main purpose was actually to let Kobe and Tang Qian take a breather. It may sound a bit wasteful, but this is what we are doing now.
All he can do.
"Bryant, burn, Paul, please come on, I don't want it to end here." Steve Nash, who was sitting on the bench before suddenly coming on the court, said. He is the one who feels the most uncomfortable on this team right now.
Because he was strongly targeted by the Spurs' opponents, he couldn't even play if he wanted to. Otherwise, just the defensive loopholes would be unceremoniously exploited by Parker in a simpler, easier and more secure way.
Score.
In this case, if Nash can't drive the offense and just goes on the court to be a fixed-point shooter and cash machine, it will still be more beneficial to the team off the court.
The three of them were stunned for a moment. Kobe's expression didn't seem to change, but his voice was obviously colder and he said, "I know."
Tang Qian said nothing, but Nash's words were enough to cause him to have emotional fluctuations.
Want to win!
Don't lose!
