Okay, let’s get started. Manu’s ball just now was actually just an unexpected “side dish”.
Now, it’s dinner, top quality steak and red wine.
Popovich stood aside, with a bit of an "alcoholic" light in his eyes, which he hadn't had for a long time.
It's not that he hasn't encountered such a stalemate situation before, it's just that the team's strength has not reached this level at that time, so he can only stare and worry, but this season... To be honest, Popovich is probably confident and worried.
The peak Bulls dynasty battle! This is definitely not that he is crazy, but that he thinks so from the bottom of his heart!
As someone who has watched the Bulls at their peak, he knows exactly what he is doing.
This is what we are doing. This season, even if it is only one season, we in San Antonio have adjusted to the extreme. Therefore, we will not be afraid of any opponent!
Keep your eyes open and take a good look, Los Angeles, City of Angels!
The Spurs came over as a screen. Although Diaw, the "big fat guy", is short, he has enough tonnage and width. In addition, the Spurs are now in a state of explosive growth. He also does a very good job and is very reliable. After the pick-and-roll,
Ginobili quickly forced a breakthrough, and then wanted to force the Lakers' interior to shrink. However, the Lakers are not other teams. With Tang Qian, the "god from heaven" at the moment, they have no intention of shrinking forcefully. They just
Let Ginobili rush in.
Tang Qian looked at the Argentinian, opened his arms and slightly bent his knees, as if he could jump to block the shot at any time.
Yes, Ginobili was known as the "Demon Sword" back then. He relied on his "super-god state" to kill the top "Five Pistons" all by himself. Just look at the shooting percentage that year and you will know that it was also the pinnacle of a hand-to-hand battle.
, coupled with the ultra-slow pace of both sides, so Tim Duncan, who is as strong as the No. 1 PF in history, only has a shooting percentage of 41% in the series! An inside player, a legendary inside player who mainly plays at the basket and in the penalty area.
Ah, there is only such a shooting percentage in the entire series? This is not a defender.
This is evident from this.
Except for Slovenian insider Rasu Nesterovic, who averaged only 6.5 minutes per game, 0.5 shots, and 0.5 points in the series, Ginobili has the highest shooting percentage, almost close to 50%!!! This is amazing!
It's not the kind of game rhythm and defensive rhythm of later generations! Even because the ratings of this finals hit a new low, David Stern directly made up his mind to do something and completely blocked Hand-g.
, this also caused the Pistons to completely decline due to rule changes. The next season will also be a season where NBA scoring explodes.
In this kind of meat grinder game, a guard actually surrendered a shooting percentage of close to 50%? In the finals where the scoring average was 80+ points per game, he averaged close to 19+ points per game? This is really a huge miracle! What a pity...
...That was Manu Ginobili ten years ago. Now, although he can still break out occasionally, his overall strength has dropped a lot compared to that year. Besides, Ginobili that year
Nobili is in his best form, the peak of his career, and there are traces of his "super god" explosion all the way through the series. Therefore, after so many years in his career, that year was his strongest!
It's already 2014, and unless Ginobili is truly "super god", he cannot pose any threat to himself.
Even for Ginobili, it doesn't mean that if you want to be "super god", you can be "super god". Although he is also in an explosive state, it is tantamount to a daydream if he wants to break Tang Qian's penalty area defense head-on.
Therefore, Tang Qian decided to stop quietly and give this Argentinian, known as the "Demon Sword", a severe lesson.
But at this moment, Ginobili suddenly threw the basketball in his hand, and the basketball flew to Kawhi Leonard on the left wing. Leonard made a move to rush to the basket, but then passed the ball to another player.
One side. Directly distribute the basketball to the weak side, that is, the right side. This is a proper cross pass, and it is actually the most taboo pass on the basketball court. Because the cross pass is bound to pass through many people,
These people include both teammates and opponents, so they are extremely easy to be destroyed and interfered with. If you often listen to Zhang Lili’s guidance and commentary, then you will definitely know that this is also one of the things Zhang Lili mentioned most, to reduce the horizontal interference.
Pass the ball.
However, let me tell you something, the Spurs completed this cross pass, and the basketball passed through the Lakers' inside line and basket, and flew directly to the weak side.
"Defend, defend!"
There was no need for D'Antoni to shout from the sidelines. The Lakers were already in motion. Leonard gave the ball to Danny Green in the corner. Meeks quickly pounced on him, but missed. Because Dan
Nick Green also moved the basketball in his hand and passed it to Boris Diaw who was ambushing the three-point line on the right side. After Diaw covered Ginobili in front, he did not go inside at all but directly
Moved and went outside the three-point line, which is where the ball is now.
So far, the Spurs have completely transferred the ball from the strong side to the weak side. The trajectory and arc of the pass are perfect, with no flaws or loopholes. Tang Qian can rely on his own basket
Intimidating, preemptive, calm and stable, but this does not mean that other Lakers players can also do it. Moreover, the defense of outside players is completely different from the defense of inside. If you are on the outside, even Tang Qian, it is impossible to maintain such a calm attitude.
First of all, the speed and height of the shot are far from comparable to attacking the basket from the inside.
Therefore, the Lakers' defense was in chaos, but No. 24 relied on his excellent defensive judgment and game experience to get through the gap and pounce on Dior who was about to take action. Diaw is only 203cm tall, plus
Now that he is older and has lost the athletic ability he had when he was young, Kobe, at his all-around peak, can still cause a lot of trouble for this "French fat guy" by rushing in.
Diaw has the ability to shoot long three-pointers, but this does not mean that he can shoot from the top or force shots from behind.
This ability can never be seen by Nash just by looking at his shooting percentage.
But why was Diaw brought in? Is it just because he has the ability to shoot long three-pointers? Of course not! Popovich's lineup arrangement is far from that simple! Diaw comes up, in addition to increasing three-point attack points,
Another important point in widening the defensive range of the Lakers is that he has excellent passing vision and passing sense.
This was something he had often overlooked in the past.
But when he came to the Spurs, they clicked instantly. Popovich just lacked such a "snake oil" role. If others can't use it well, it doesn't mean that he can't use it well. At this time, the "French Fat Man" actually threw the ball out again. Not only
It was just a cross pass, but it was a cross pass that ran through the Lakers' three-point line. It directly threw the basketball from the current strong side, which is the right side, to the weak side!
The basketball flew directly over! Anyone without any manual skills or passing skills would never be able to pass such a ball.
And standing in that place is Patrick Mills, the most inconspicuous and least eye-catching player on the entire Spurs team. If you are not an exclusive fan of the Spurs or an exclusive senior fan of this guy, then you 13-14
I'm afraid I won't remember his name or even his appearance at all this season. In this year's playoffs, he only averaged 6 to 7 points per game.
The previous playoff data were even more disastrous.
During the 4-year playoff journey, the highest average playing time per game was 4 minutes, the lowest was 2.5 minutes, the highest average was 2 points per game, and the lowest average was 0 points. Yes, it is such a "terrible" data, but right now, Popovich
Qi did just that, giving him an opening tactic and asking him to shoot the three-pointer.
The Australian adjusted slightly and shot a three-pointer. It could be seen that he was a little nervous. After all, although this was his fifth playoff trip, he had never played more than 48 minutes in total before.
, Therefore, it would be false to say that he was not nervous. However, he actually withstood the pressure and scored this three-pointer.
Brush~ The basketball went hollow into the net and penetrated the Los Angeles Lakers' net.
92-96, the Spurs lead by 4 points.
The Lakers attacked, Nash passed the ball, Meeks missed the mid-range shot, but Tang Qian grabbed the rebound. Without Tim Duncan, the Spurs' rebounding ability was not as good as the Lakers', and it suddenly dropped several points.
Level. There is no way Diaw can be Tang Qian's enemy. Tang Qian caught the ball and threw it to the outside. The person who caught the ball was Kobe Bryant.
Kobe did a triple-threat step in front of Leonard, and then pulled out his hand in a signature instant. The posture was absolutely elegant and graceful, and there is absolutely no problem saying it was "beautiful as a picture." It was the last hit, Duang
~, it's iron. Kobe's touch tonight was basically normal only in the first quarter, and then it went down all the way. It seems that the so-called "tiebreak curse" really exists for No. 24.
There's no way to explain this kind of thing, it's just that Kobe's condition suddenly got worse.
Just like basically all of his previous "tie-breaks".
Fortunately, the rebound was caught by Tang Qian again. Tang Qian got hard under the basket, causing the Spurs' thug to foul. "Snap~", the basketball did not miss, but reluctantly entered the Spurs' net bag.
.
The 2+1 opportunity, but unfortunately the extra penalty was missed, but the result was pretty good, at least the Lakers scored in this round.
94-96, still a 2-point difference.
The Spurs' offensive round was similar to the previous one, with a breakthrough after a high screen, but this time it was Leonard. Leonard easily passed Meeks with the help of the screen, and then jumped up and shot. Kobe quickly covered the defense.
Coming over to block the shot, the ball was relatively timely. It can be seen that although Kobe was inexplicably not in good condition on the offensive end tonight, on the defensive end, he exerted more energy and potential than usual.
This is also a disguised form of compensation.
But Leonard didn't shoot the ball, but jumped and passed the ball. The basketball flew into the hands of Diaw who was walking down the edge of the penalty area. Diaw made a fake shot the moment he caught the ball. Unfortunately, Tang Qian didn't catch it, so
Diaw did not get any particularly good inside shot opportunities with this ball. If the "French Fat Man" dared to take this ball, then he would definitely give him a shot...
Huh? The ball is divided again???
Yes, Diaw did not attack, but distributed the ball again. It was almost the same as the previous ball. It was a pass from the strong side to the weak side. The basketball went into Ginobili's hands. Ginobili's knees were slightly bent.
It seemed like he was about to shoot, but he attracted the Lakers' defense and then passed the ball out again, and then moved it near the top arc. Danny Green took the ball and attracted Kobe to follow him again, but he threw it to the left corner. Where
The person standing is actually an Australian, Patrick Mills.
Meeks made a three-pointer and Gasol pounced on it, but it was too slow. The basketball flew out and continued to penetrate the Lakers' net.
94-99, the Lakers attacked, Kobe Bryant made a sudden stop in a single, and the basketball rolled around the basket and entered the net.
96-99, still three points difference.
The Spurs actually gave the next ball to the Australians!!! This made Kobe angry. He quickly passed through the gap and flew directly to Patrick Mills near the right corner. This ball
According to Kobe's acceleration, it should be enough to attack. After all, Kobe's full concentration on defense, combined with this body, is also amazing.
It's enough to keep pace with Leonard on the opposite side.
But... Kobe's ball was blocked! Because when he was about to get close to Patrick Mills, he suddenly found that his eyesight went dark, and with a "bang", he was forced to stop! It turned out to be
Ginobili of the Spurs intercepted him right on the line!!!
Ginobili saw the angry look on Kobe's face, but instead smiled, as if to say:
Sorry, I won't let you pass this ball. Your run will end here.
Will he go in? Now that Kobe has been stopped, we can only see if the Spurs' Patrick Mills can withstand the pressure!
If you can't hold it back, then the Lakers can definitely grab this defensive rebound! If it's a low rebound!
In the bottom corner, Mills felt as if there were countless shouts and abuse coming from behind him, which was "interference" from Lakers fans. However, he did not hesitate because Popovich made it clear before going on the court.
, during this period of time, whoever has the opportunity must take action! Whoever gets it must not hesitate! Whoever dares to hesitate will be scolded with his nose pointed at him!
In addition, after spending so many years with the Spurs, he also has a little "empathy" for execution. Therefore, even if he feels that the abuse everywhere is interference, even if he feels like a light on his back, he still
I forced myself to take action at my own pace.
The basketball flew high, arced, and then...swiped~ tore through the Los Angeles Lakers' net.
Yes!!! I did it!!! I did it!!! It turns out I can really do this!!!
All of a sudden the Australians came along.
PS: Forget about women’s clothing, Xiaozi has another update tonight~ So, hehehehe!!!
