"Did the Lakers make a substitution? They made a quick substitution and replaced... Oh, they actually replaced Steve Nash?" Yu Jia said a little surprised: "In this round of the series, it is basically difficult to see Nash playing in the fourth quarter.
"Nash was directly targeted by the Spurs because of this point." Yang Yang took over and said: "It's different from the first two rounds. Whether it's the Mavericks or the Rockets, there's not much at No. 1.
As an offensive powerhouse, Nash's defensive problems were not obviously exposed, but the Spurs' No. 1 position is Tony Parker, who has extremely strong independent offensive capabilities. Parker's offense and defense are among the best among the No. 1 positions in the entire league.
, so when playing against Nash, both offense and defense will suffer."
"So what does it mean to replace Nash now?" Yu Jia asked: "Is it necessary to take risks?"
Yang Yang rolled his eyes at his commentary partner and said, "The purpose of replacing Nash is to break the Spurs' defensive system. Now the Spurs' defense is different from the first half. It has changed from a hard defense to a non-hard defense. What is that?
What about not hard defense?" Yangyi continued: "It is to use tacit understanding and regional defense to interfere with Kobe or Tang Qian before they get the ball, cut them off, and destroy their passing paths. In this way, we can contain the Lakers.
The purpose of the team’s two strong scoring points.”
"Looking at the data, Tang Qian and Kobe still have very high shooting percentages," Yu Jia said.
Yang Yi said, "The shooting percentage is high, but the number of catches has decreased, and the Lakers' passing and receiving errors have increased. This is equivalent to defending two people in disguise. Especially the Spurs."
He also seized the opportunity of these mistakes and played extremely high-quality offensive and defensive transitions, which was equivalent to giving the Lakers a heavy blow in the tone they just mentioned." Yangyi paused and continued: "The morale will go down.
As soon as the situation becomes tense, the Lakers' role players will play tighter and tighter, which can be regarded as suppressing the Lakers' overall offense in disguise. It is not easy for the Spurs to do this."
"So replacing Nash is to reduce mistakes and allow the basketball to be passed smoothly to Kobe or Tang Qian?"
"Yes, that's basically the case. This is the main purpose." Yang Yi said: "Otherwise the offense will always make mistakes, and the Spurs will have an absolute advantage. At that time, the Lakers will have no choice but to say what they can do."
"Then do you think this change of formation will be effective and can solve the Lakers' current difficulties?"
"The effect is bound to be there." He said with enthusiasm: "Think about it, Nash is a two-time MVP, and his skills are as good as the sky. Even though he is old now, his organizational skills are still there. Nash's performance in the first two rounds,
It is absolutely outstanding. In fact, I think the Lakers should worry more about other aspects when replacing Nash."
"Other aspects?" Yu Jia asked doubtfully.
"It's about defense. If Nash was still at his peak, this problem wouldn't be too obvious, but this year his defense is almost gone. If Parker is faced with it, what do you think Popovich will do? Will he catch it?
Are you going to keep cracking down on this loophole?" Yang Yi said: "If this aspect becomes a complete loss of points, then the Lakers' season will probably end tonight."
"Then let's see what the result will be. Before that, let's draw a gift first..."
Replaced with Nash? Do you think this will solve the problem instead of adding to it?
Popovich stood off the court and shouted to Tony Parker: "Be bold in your offense later, don't waste it."
In fact, there is no need for Popovich to remind him. When he saw the 40-year-old Nash playing again, the Frenchman instantly knew what he should do. If he didn't hit him, he would be sorry for the team and such a good opportunity to "earn points".
.
Therefore, it must be "brushed"! It must not be "let go"!
It's not that Parker looks down on Nash, the two-time MVP winner, it's just that the latter has become a complete defensive scumbag and is not worth mentioning.
If we don’t do this, we would be really sorry for our own God, Jesus.
After Nash came up to take charge, the situation immediately changed. The basketball was smoothly put into Tang Qian's hands. Tang Qian hit the basket and scored with force. After Tang Qian scored, he pointed at Nash.
Indicates that the ball was passed well.
On the defensive end, there were no miracles.
Steve Nash was completely blown away by the French sports car who was still at his peak. The latter, with no interference and no defense, made the shot easily. 85-90, which was equivalent to Tang Qian's previous shot, which was in vain.
, was successfully redeemed.
For 5 minutes, both sides were attacking. Although the Lakers had two scoring killers, Kobe and Tang Qian, they could only score 2 to 3 points at a time. What about turning around? The opponent seemed to be able to score more easily.
, and the score was lost. Because Tony Parker broke through very quickly and sharply, and Steve Nash, who already had old arms and legs, had no ability to parry at all. Look clearly, it's not that he didn't parry.
The solution is that the level is "too high", that is, there is simply no ability to parry.
No matter how much Nash tried to defend, it was... useless.
It is absolutely difficult for him to guard Tony Parker!
Also because of his poor defense, Parker scored 13 in these 5 minutes. Looking at the data, almost all of them hit without any difficulty or resistance. Nash felt very uncomfortable. Barkley once said a very classic saying, that is:
When a superstar reaches the end of his career, in addition to unwillingness and dissatisfaction, he also feels fear and confusion.
Nash knows that his defense has never been good, but it is not enough to hinder the team. However, in the past two years since he came to the Lakers, he has become more and more scumbag and declining step by step. Especially, especially
On the defensive end, these two seasons have been directly regarded as a "defensive black hole" and a "cash machine."
No one is willing to accept that they have lost their peak strength. As a two-year MVP and a quasi-super giant, Nash can have no pride in his heart? 95-105, the score difference has not narrowed but widened. This situation makes
Everyone in the Lakers team felt a sense of powerlessness and...fate. Perhaps God did not intend for people to create this unprecedented comeback record in the series.
Nash was also beaten a little depressed. After all, most of these points were lost from his defensive point.
As for the main responsibility, he should indeed shoulder it.
Am I, perhaps, really old? Have I completely become a burden to the team?
During the Lakers' timeout, Steve Nash suddenly said: "Mike, let me go."
What? Mike D'Antoni and the rest of the Lakers were stunned, because saying this now is tantamount to...
"Steve, are you serious?" D'Antoni asked after a while. After all, this is something close to "humiliation" for a superstar. The team would not be better off with you.
, it won’t be worse without you, or it will have fewer weaknesses. For former superstars and veteran players with many honors, it is no less than...
But Nash still spoke: "Yes, let me come down. I can't help the team on the court. I really seem to be..." Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly couldn't help shouting out.
Said: "Steve, do you know what you are talking about? At this time, at such a critical moment, you say you are going to end? Are you crazy?"
Nash did not raise his head, maybe he felt that he could speak more fluently: "Tang, now is not the time to be emotional. You can see the effect of replacing me just now. I was completely beaten by the Spurs' No. 1 position. I,
Me." Nash seemed to have used a lot of energy to finish the last sentence: "I am just a 'cash machine' now, hey, isn't it."
"Then you can't choose this time to give up! Now we need you to pass the ball to us, don't you understand? Ah? Steve! What are you thinking!" Tang Qian saw Nash doing this at this time,
He couldn't help but get furious. He had paid so much for this game, and he didn't lose just to lose. It wasn't like he didn't expect that someone in the Lakers would be "dejected in advance", but he definitely didn't expect that this person was Steve.
.Nash!!! The Canadian who has won 2 MVP trophies and claims to be extremely eager for the Larry O'Brien Trophy!!!
Nash didn't speak, but this made Tang Qian even more angry. He took a step closer and asked loudly: "You are the two-time regular season MVP winner! You are Steve Nash! The finals are right in front of you now.
, you said you were going to end? You said you were going to give up??? Damn it, did your previous desire for the championship and your rhetoric about the championship lie to us? Ah!!! You said!!!"
Several people were afraid that Tang Qian would lose control of his emotions, so they immediately stepped forward and grabbed him. They all knew this guy's "evil reputation" for attacking teammates? Wasn't Howard his teammate before? Wasn't he slapped in public by him all the same?
Face?
At this time, we can't engage in any internal strife.
"Fang, listen to me, Fang, listen to me..." After saying this several times, Nash found that no one was paying attention to him. Suddenly he didn't know what was going on, and shouted loudly: "Fang, you
Listen to me!!! You T.M.D listen to me!!! Do you hear that???”
All of a sudden, the Lakers bench area became quiet, because Nash has always been a "nice gentleman". This state is really rare. The contrast is so big that people feel shocked and shocked.
You will feel surprised.
Seeing that it was quiet here, Nash took a deep breath and said: "Fang, I know what you want to say, but the current situation is... If you replace me, I will give the Spurs' No. 1 position an easy job."
Those who give away points can’t do this anymore! This is wrong, this is just acting out of emotion, do you understand?” Realizing that No. 29 wanted to say something else, Nash interrupted him in advance: “I’m not
I don’t long for a championship, it’s just that if the team doesn’t play for me now, it’s the best choice. Do you understand?”
In fact, it can be seen that this passage is very difficult for Nash to say, but it is not unreasonable.
Tang Qian was about to speak again but was stopped by No. 24, who said in a calm voice: "Forget it, Tong, what he said may make sense. Besides, he doesn't want to play, so there's no point in forcing him to play."
"Bryant, what are you..."
"Okay, just listen to Steve and replace him with Jordan." Kobe didn't give Tang Qian a chance to continue. It was as if the matter was settled.
"Bryant, you know we need Steve now, otherwise it would be difficult to pass the basketball to our hands." Tang Qian finally caught a chance and shouted: "Without the ball, we can't catch the ball, we can't catch the ball."
What can be done?”
"You can't play without Steve? We can't play?" Kobe's attitude has not changed at all: "I will control the ball and pass the court." This is not a solution, but let Kobe's offensive state
Being suppressed, he needs to devote more energy to organizing and connecting the team. With different roles, his playing style must also change accordingly.
It is definitely not as good as Nash controlling the ball. Tang Qian and Kobe are more threatening and stronger when they focus on offense.
"Okay." Kobe's words were his final judgment, and he said: "You need to be confident to play. If you don't have confidence, it's better not to play, so as not to waste time."
The timeout ended and the Lakers continued to play. As expected, Kobe became the main controller, so that he could not attack and take shots like that. After halftime, he began to organize and find people more. It seemed that there was no problem, but in fact it was ruined.
Kobe's "scoring explosiveness" has been lost. This is sometimes one of Kobe's most terrifying abilities on the court.
But now Nash's fate is left to others, so Kobe has no choice but to do it himself.
The Spurs also quickly adjusted and responded, and they began to focus more defensive attention on No. 29 inside.
Because now the 24th position has been transformed into a point guard, right? The first priority, whether he is willing or not, needs to be changed into a passing organization and series, rather than a scoring shot. Although there is no way to this style of play
This method makes it easier for the Spurs' defense to focus and target.
Tang Qian got the ball, but he didn't score because the moment he took the shot, three people from the Spurs quickly rotated over and blocked his vision and passing path. Tang Qian's ball missed. After all, it was not about his ability.
Card, it doesn't mean that the Spurs' three-man defense can be easily ignored.
If any player is defended and double-teamed by three people, it is not impossible to score, but again, the shooting rate will definitely decline. It depends on the degree of decline. The more intense the defense, the more people are defending.
It is difficult for everyone to attack. It was the same when O'Neal was at his peak and Jordan was at his peak. It was one thing to attack alone, one thing to defend two people, and another thing to defend three people. Even if you look at the highlights, they are all
It's hard to see a real situation where one versus three is true. And you have to know that the highlights are already the selected highlights, so even Tang Qian in his current state cannot say that one versus three is easy.
No such thing.
No matter how weak the opponent is, he is still an NBA player. Do you really think he is a freeloader?
If there were such a person, he would be either Superman or Captain America, and the rules of basketball would have to be revised for him.
The Spurs seize the opportunity to attack, and they easily tear apart the Lakers' defense by conducting and transferring the ball. In front of this Spurs team, whether you are the Lakers or the Heat, which has a strong rotation ability in the league,
That's all the same.
This aspect of the San Antonio people, this season, is absolutely the best in history, and no team can match it.
Domestic, Tianchao Sports Channel.
"Tang Qian's shot was too forced and too difficult. The Spurs' offense is completely different from that of the Lakers. They tear up space and tear apart the defense not through people but through the ball. To this extent, it is necessary to
It’s not that the Lakers had Kobe Bryant and Tang Qian, who suddenly broke out in offense, this ball wouldn’t have been played at all. The overall quality is far, far behind.” Yang Yi was not “making off”, the Spurs
The team's overall style of play has indeed refreshed his upper limit for the team's energy. In his own words, he has seen the Jordan era, but has never seen such an extreme team situation.
It's not that the Bulls can't beat this Spurs team, it's just that in this aspect, the Bulls are not as good as the Spurs.
This is not a shameful thing. This Spurs team has achieved some extremes in basketball in terms of passing the ball and quickly moving the ball. Therefore, when they adjust their condition and have physical fitness, they can beat the Heat for two consecutive games and they can catch it easily.
.
The games we won were all bloodbaths with big scores.
And they also have Popovich at the helm at all times, reacting on the fly, allowing the Spurs to make the best offensive and defensive changes at any time. The combination is so close that it is a match made in heaven. Therefore, the original time and space Heat did not really force this Spurs team.
With all their energy, they fell to the ground and knelt down. What about the Lakers? Perhaps they have surpassed the Miami Heat of the original time and space in this aspect.
However, it's still not enough.
"This ball is very important. If the offense is not turned into defense and another one is put in, the morale will be greatly affected. The Spurs finally made a small throw from Tony Parker. The offensive opportunity of this ball is very good, and the defensive pressure is also very light.
We should be able to go in." But before Yang Yi finished speaking, in the broadcast footage, there was a purple-gold figure, like a magic weapon descending from the sky, leaping high and slapping the ball away with one palm.
The basketball was in contention and went out of bounds in confusion. In the end, the referee gave the Lakers the right to play the ball in the backcourt.
The Spurs' AT&T Center.
"Don't think it's so easy to just score a goal and end the game! With me here, it's a beautiful idea!"
Tang Qian's words were domineering, but D'Antoni had no idea how to solve this situation.
He could only think that it would be better if Steve Nash were ten years younger.
But, how is this possible? Only time cannot be reversed.
If two people are playing against five, it would be fine if they were playing against other teams. But playing against this Spurs team is almost meaningless.
After all, basketball is still for 5 people, right?
