Chapter 1216 The Spurs, the first match between teachers and students
After defeating the Timberwolves, the record of the Lakers has improved again, currently reaching 17 wins and 6 losses, 6 consecutive victories, and the Western Conference rankings are also steadily advancing.Now that 4/1 of the season has passed, the western upper zone group has gradually begun to take shape. The Warriors, Spurs, Thunder, and Lakers have formed the upper zone.On December 12, US time, the Toronto All-Star voting channel for the 11-15 season opened on this day, and the voting deadline is January 16 next year.Still the same as before, divided into front and back courts.The center position is no longer in the All-Star voting, and Tang Qian is naturally competing for the starting spot among the frontcourt players.
When the voting channel was opened in the early hours of the day, the Lakers immediately saw the No. 29 vote leading the way. The NBA Commissioner's Office was still the same as before. Adam Silval shook his head and said, "Let's weaken most of the votes in China, otherwise the gap in the number of votes is too great. This is a blow to the popularity of other players." The people below also agreed, because there is really no way to deal with this situation, the popularity of the Internet on the other side of the ocean is already very high, and if all calculations are made, there is no suspense at all.
Therefore, according to the practice of David Stern's era, diluting the number of votes in China, or even counting only fractions, this can be regarded as an NBA-style "local protection policy".But why don't other international players have this "special treatment"?Alas, I still only blame the Eastern Land for having too many people.
Without dilution, it is possible to directly throw off the other players by several dimensions.
Yi Jianlian is starting steadily.
Such a situation is not what the NBA League Office wants to see.And Adam Silvall also felt that this was not particularly good for Tang Qian, because it would make Tang Qian a public enemy of the alliance, and the level of hostility skyrocketed instantly.He also attaches great importance to the market on the other side of the ocean, and Tang Qian has now entered one of his "protection plans".So he will think about it a little bit.
However, the interests of the alliance still come first.
This game is still a live broadcast across the United States, and ESPN even put it on one broadcast, because both teams are very strong, and the San Antonio Spurs played against the Los Angeles Lakers, and the audience's expectations were also high.In the current ranking, the Spurs are ranked second in the Western Conference. The Lakers have now begun to recover strongly after a sluggish start. A wave of six consecutive victories has brought them back to the upper division of the Western Conference.
And, they are obviously not satisfied with the fourth position.
And what about San Antonio?After they introduced the former Trail Blazers' All-Star center Aldridge this season, the effect has been remarkable, and their record has improved all the way. Compared with last year's old state, this season's core conversion seems to be very successful.Many people believe that the Spurs this season will be one of the favorites to win the Larry O'Brien Cup.
Excellent chemical reaction and team effect have always been the labels of this team, and this season is no exception.The playing time has dropped significantly, but the shooting percentage has reached a career high. Coupled with the high record, Aldridge said that he is also very happy.He feels that the Spurs are the strongest this season and will not be worse than anyone else.
The game starts on time at the Spurs' home court at 7:[-] pm.
The Spurs have a lineup of LaMarcus Aldridge + Kawhi Leonard + Duncan + Danny Green + Parker, which is quite balanced. The Lakers are still the same, Tang Qian + Bosh + Ariza + Butler + Rondo.Before the game, Popovich shook hands with his teacher Larry Brown and talked, as if to welcome the latter to return to the NBA. As for what the two said afterwards, it is unknown. Anyway... it should not be a good word .
It is true that the two are teachers and students, but when they are on the field, they rely on their own abilities. Popovich has been trained for so many years. The so-called teachers and students are no longer in strength but only in name.
"The Los Angeles Lakers VS San Antonio Spurs, this is a focused battle, what do you two think?" ESPN One host Rachel asked.
"I support the Spurs."
"I think the Spurs will have the last laugh."
"I think the Lakers have a chance to win."
Now it is difficult for ESPN to go black Tang Qian in terms of strength, so it is more about the team and the team.This is not for Tang Qian's initiative. From a long time ago, any star who did not lead the team to win the championship will be attacked in this way.Even the greatest "basketball god" Michael Jordan was not spared before 91.
So the best way is to wait for you to win the Larry O'Brien Cup, and then openly fight back. This is the most relieved and the most powerful.
Of course, the Spurs are also very strong this season, otherwise they will be second in the Western Conference and won't be able to sit still.
After Aldridge joined, the Spurs quickly completed the conversion of the inside core. At the beginning of this season, the "GDP combination" also began to retreat behind the scenes in large numbers, making way for the era of Leonard and Aldridge.The new combination of inside and outside line looks really beautiful. At least Tang Qian now feels that the Spurs will be stronger for another seven or eight years in the future.
He said hello to Duncan, and the latter said with some regret: "Tang, it's a pity that you didn't come to our San Antonio. We are really a team that suits you very well." Tang Qian knew that he signed this year. At that time, the "pursuit" of the Spurs was the most violent, so he replied with a smile: "It's a pity Tim, my final choice is the Lakers. They didn't do anything to apologize to me, and I won't leave easily .like you."
"Do you really want a city for yourself?" Duncan saw Tang Qian renewed his contract with the Lakers, and finally realized that this was not a joke on the 29th. He was really different from those young stars of the new era. He was playing for real. of. "Yes. Tim. So I'm sorry, I don't plan to leave Los Angeles." Tang Qian also replied truthfully.
"That's good." Duncan's eyes flickered a few times: "In this era, there is also a lack of people with your attitude. Come on."
Seeing that Duncan gave up the solicitation, Tang Qian nodded: "Well, I will, you wait for me in front."
Duncan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly understood the meaning of the number 29. He was talking about...historical status.
It is not easy to mix and compare the positions of other things, but the historical status is possible, and it must be compared together to make sense.
He is now a safe top ten in history, so Tang Qian's meaning is self-evident.
However, Boy Dongfang, it is not so easy to enter the top ten in history. If you cannot become a star in history, it will be difficult for you to reach this position.Looking at the top ten recognized history, how many of them are good stubble?How many names are not as good as Lei Guaner?In fact, even if the top [-] in history are all great gods of various eras, picking out one of these people at random and returning to the peak will disrupt the competition pattern of the entire league.
In this way, it is called a historical level star.
Duncan knew that his honor would basically be finalized, but he didn't think Tang Qian could enter the top ten so easily.Because it is very simple, in the top ten levels, in addition to the accumulation of a lot of career honors, the championship is also an undeniable hard target.Without this, your data will be of no use if it reaches the sky.If Chamberlain didn't have those two rings, would he be able to break into the top ten or even the top five?The data cannot be exaggerated.
Basketball is a game of scoring, but also a game of victory. There is never anything more glorious for a loser than a winner.
That's not part of the nature of competitive sports.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in front, I hope you won't make us wait too long."
"Don't worry, Tim, I'll make your ass tight." Tang Qian joked.
Seeing Duncan and Tang Qian talking happily, Aldridge walked up to Leonard and asked, "They have a good relationship?"
Leonard looked up at Aldridge, and after a while he said sullenly, "Yes."
Well, asking Leonard isn't asking for trouble, he is a real boring gourd.never mind.
At the beginning of the scrimmage, although Aldridge has excellent overall ability, his jumping and bounce speed are obviously not his strong points. This kind of scramble, he is basically more likely to lose.But the Spurs have never cared about this kind of thing, so it doesn't matter if the Lakers get the initiative.Just defend it well.
The Lakers attacked and were blocked by the Spurs in the first wave. The team's execution was terrible, and Butler's ball was almost blocked.Aldridge has also changed on the offensive end. Why has his shooting percentage suddenly increased to a new career high when he came to the Spurs?You must know that he has had a shooting percentage of more than 4% for many seasons before, and it has been decreasing year by year, getting worse and worse.This has something to do with the decline in his physical fitness. As he gets older, his physical function will naturally decline, and no one can avoid it.Therefore, he played more and more unfavorable in the Trail Blazers.
The management feels that he should be traded because his shooting percentage and efficiency have declined year by year.
They don't need to bet their future on an increasingly weakened All-Star insider. Young people are the new choice.
But when the Spurs came, LaMarcus Aldridge was dismissed at once, and Popovich's training made him feel a sense of enlightenment.For example, Duncan, after a serious injury, has slowly lost his personal dominance around the beginning of the 21st century, but how did he do it?The simple word "Flow" means "flowing", "coherent", "flowing" and "continuous".All of a sudden, Aldridge, like Duncan back then, was freed from a lot of individual singles and stagnant offenses.Reduce brute force confrontation and physical consumption, and rely more on space movement plus a lot of tactical cover and tactical air cut movement to play.Of course, this cannot be done by one person. It needs a team and a system to support it. A team like the Trail Blazers naturally does not have this kind of capital, but well, the Spurs have it.
That's why Aldridge's playing time was greatly reduced, but his shooting percentage hit a career high. He played more easily, consumed less, and stored energy for the playoffs more scientifically.Coupled with an excellent locker room atmosphere, Aldridge is doing well.
The Spurs' offensive end uses a double inside line, that is, Duncan + Aldridge moves in opposite directions in the penalty area. This is to facilitate the team's short cuts at all times to support the movement of outside players.Leonard and Green quickly crossed from the left and right flanks, constantly looking for opportunities, coupled with Duncan and Aldridge's high-quality low-post support, many teams were messed up by them.
What about Parker at the top arc?Naturally, he saw the opportunity to pass the ball.
But are the Lakers an ordinary team?This kind of tactical routine, Larry Brown has done a demonstration before, because the Spurs have been a strong team for so many years, and they can't take advantage of a sudden match without training.As a result, Duncan helped Leonard block people, but immediately another Lakers player rotated past, so that Leonard did not get the shooting space he should have.
Leonard made a breakthrough, and there was a physical confrontation with Butler, who was rotating. Butler's size made the former's stronger body less advantageous.Seeing this, Leonard did not forcefully attack, and passed the ball to Duncan. Duncan wanted to hook, but was interfered.Tang Qian's defense was quick, which greatly disturbed Duncan's ball.The basketball comes out of the basket.
The Lakers protected the rebound and gave it to Rondo, and it suddenly became a slow pace.
The Spurs had already expected this. After halftime, they opened up to welcome the Lakers' offense.
The Lakers also played a pick-and-roll, but fell into the Spurs' defensive trap, and Rondo was forced into Duncan's side. Duncan has been doing this for so many years, and this is all too familiar.He gave up the offensive end very early, and will exist as a core gate on the defensive end unless necessary. Coupled with his excellent defensive positioning, the outside players who come to attack will have a greatly reduced shooting rate.
Can you believe it?Even in this final season, No. 21 of the Spurs is still the player with the highest number of blocks per game on the entire Spurs.none of them.His block numbers would have been better if it wasn't for his fitness issues.Rich experience, outstanding defensive position judgment, and strong defensive pace adjustments allow him to often block shots without taking off much.
If you can't cover it, it can also give you strong defensive interference.
This old guy is really powerful. He deserves to be the second only to Bill Russell in his defensive WS in his career.
There is a joke that Duncan is better at watching the excitement than ordinary league insiders, which can be seen.
And... Since the Spurs used him as the defensive core, the team's defense has basically been in the top five in the league every year!
Please, this is not a few seasons in one season, but the data of more than ten years, the stability is terrible.
Rondo wanted to pass the ball, but it was too late, because the Spurs' defense was also highly integrated, not only forcing him to Duncan's direction, but also someone coming behind him, forming a double-team circle.Rondo is too short. If he stops the ball in the low post at this height, the probability of making mistakes will increase dramatically.
As expected, Rondo made a mistake and passed it barely, but the quality was so poor that the receiver couldn't catch up, and the basketball went out of the sideline.
The Spurs attacked again.
Tactical movement, three-point corner shot, when, miss, the Lakers' ball.
When the Lakers passed the ball, it was destroyed by the Spurs. The Spurs attacked. Parker wanted to break fast, but was temporarily suppressed by Rondo's high-speed return.Parker stopped the ball and gave it to Leonard behind him. Leonard and Green ran over to form a two-wing attack, but just after going down, Ariza and Butler of the Lakers team tacitly dispersed one by one to the left and one to the right, pinching one by one. Not the slightest hesitation.Leonard wanted to pass the ball again, but Rondo stretched out his long arm and quickly intercepted it. The Lakers also played a wave of quick defensive counterattacks.Because all three of the Spurs have passed, and two of them are too deep, even if they want to return to the defense, only "French Sports Car" Parker can barely keep up. In the Spurs' half court, if they quickly defend and counterattack, they can form a 3-on-2 or 5-on-2 situation.
There is nothing wrong with Rondo's judgment.
Slow tempo means not to play fast defensive counterattacks, it just depends on the opportunity, not easy to play, why miss a good opportunity?
The Lakers played 5-on-3, and Parker still ran back. The Spurs' defensive quality is really good. Popovich's 20 years of training, this is an advantage that the entire league cannot match.The Lakers Rondo made a feint pass in the middle and gave it to Ariza, who followed quickly on the right. Ariza was about to dunk when he took off.Get up to speed in the fast break, which is very common.
It's a pity that this ball was seen by someone, and this person didn't jump too high, because he couldn't jump up anymore, so this ball was just based on his height and wingspan that would not be shrunk (at least not at this age) , directly seal the basket.This ball Duncan surpassed the Spurs' basket by about half a palm at most, and the bounce was definitely at the matchbox level... However, it gave Ariza this block.
As we often see, this ball is not like Duncan taking the initiative to block the shot, but more like the feeling of Ariza reaching out to force the basketball to find the shot.Really spooky, but a real block.Who would have imagined that Duncan is going to be old, and he is still the No. [-] basket protector in San Antonio, and no one can surpass him.
After Parker pushed the ball into the frontcourt, he took the top arc and asked for a pick-and-roll to Green, who came out from the left wing. Green held the ball, and Parker immediately moved away. The running direction was to find a cover on the right side. .This opened up space, and second, it also increased the Spurs' aggressiveness on the right side.Sure enough, the Spurs passed the ball to Parker. Aldridge blocked the pursuers. Parker cut the baseline after receiving the ball and killed the back door, trying to set the Lakers' backyard on fire.But the ball really waited for the Lakers' supplementary defender to rotate, Parker passed the ball again, and the baseline went directly to the bottom corner.Here stands Leonard ready for a three-pointer.The average team would fall apart here, and the defensive system would not be able to keep up, but the Lakers could continue to operate, and Ariza flew over.
Leonard couldn't make the shot, but he dodged Ariza with a cat body, and quickly changed to a corner dribble cut.
The ball came close to the low position and was about to be shot. Bosh wanted to come over to defend, but he didn't succeed. He was blocked by Duncan.Leonard made a shot, the basketball flew high, and the Spurs wanted to score first?No, the ball was only halfway through when it was blocked in the air by a big yellow hand.The basketball fell into the hands of Parker, who was running. Parker wanted to take advantage of this to break through for a layup, but was blocked by Ariza who was turning over.Parker suddenly, the ball was shot, no, it was a fake pass, and the basketball was passed back to Aldridge who was coming from the other side.
The change of cover wall and air cut position is one of Aldridge's biggest gains in the Spurs.
In the past in the Trail Blazers, such a style of play and system support was simply unimaginable.
Parker attracted Ariza in the past, and he deliberately delayed the latter with his body when he landed, so that Aldridge could easily score the goal.Aldridge of the Spurs chose to end with a one-handed dunk.But the moment he was about to hit the basket with the ball, he found a palm appeared on the basket of the Lakers.It is very similar to Duncan's defense just now.But it needs a higher coverage area and a larger sealing force.After blocking the basket and blocking the shot, Tang Qian immediately returned after defending Leonard with the ball, and completed the basket blocking action before Aldridge dunked.
Pa~ Aldridge's shot was also blocked.
Because the ball was blocked in the air, there was no Gai Fei, and the basketball fell from the air and fell into Tang Qian's arms.
The Lakers once again got the right to attack.
Popovich has seen this new understanding of the Lakers this season. It seems that after his teacher's training, this team has completely lost the shadow of last season.The strong defense and the stability of the system are eye-catching.
It deserves to be the league's No. [-] defensive team, and it deserves to be the team coached by Mr. Larry Brown. It's amazing.
But this game, we are not prepared to lose.Mr. Larry Brown, welcome back, let's compete again.
I'm looking forward to it.

The Lakers also played a wave of quick defensive counterattacks.Because all three of the Spurs have passed, and two of them are too deep, even if they want to return to the defense, only "French Sports Car" Parker can barely keep up. In the Spurs' half court, if they quickly defend and counterattack, they can form a 3-on-2 or 5-on-2 situation.
There is nothing wrong with Rondo's judgment.
Slow tempo means not to play fast defensive counterattacks, it just depends on the opportunity, not easy to play, why miss a good opportunity?
The Lakers played 5-on-3, and Parker still ran back. The Spurs' defensive quality is really good. Popovich's 20 years of training, this is an advantage that the entire league cannot match.The Lakers Rondo made a feint pass in the middle and gave it to Ariza, who followed quickly on the right. Ariza was about to dunk when he took off.Get up to speed in the fast break, which is very common.
It's a pity that this ball was seen by someone, and this person didn't jump too high, because he couldn't jump up anymore, so this ball was just based on his height and wingspan that would not be shrunk (at least not at this age) , directly seal the basket.This ball Duncan surpassed the Spurs' basket by about half a palm at most, and the bounce was definitely at the matchbox level... However, it gave Ariza this block.
As we often see, this ball is not like Duncan taking the initiative to block the shot, but more like the feeling of Ariza reaching out to force the basketball to find the shot.Really spooky, but a real block.Who would have imagined that Duncan is going to be old, and he is still the No. [-] basket protector in San Antonio, and no one can surpass him.
After Parker pushed the ball into the frontcourt, he took the top arc and asked for a pick-and-roll to Green, who came out from the left wing. Green held the ball, and Parker immediately moved away. The running direction was to find a cover on the right side. .This opened up space, and second, it also increased the Spurs' aggressiveness on the right side.Sure enough, the Spurs passed the ball to Parker. Aldridge blocked the pursuers. Parker cut the baseline after receiving the ball and killed the back door, trying to set the Lakers' backyard on fire.But the ball really waited for the Lakers' supplementary defender to rotate, Parker passed the ball again, and the baseline went directly to the bottom corner.Here stands Leonard ready for a three-pointer.The average team would fall apart here, and the defensive system would not be able to keep up, but the Lakers could continue to operate, and Ariza flew over.
Leonard couldn't make the shot, but he dodged Ariza with a cat body, and quickly changed to a corner dribble cut.
The ball came close to the low position and was about to be shot. Bosh wanted to come over to defend, but he didn't succeed. He was blocked by Duncan.Leonard made a shot, the basketball flew high, and the Spurs wanted to score first?No, the ball was only halfway through when it was blocked in the air by a big yellow hand.The basketball fell into the hands of Parker, who was running. Parker wanted to take advantage of this to break through for a layup, but was blocked by Ariza who was turning over.Parker suddenly, the ball was shot, no, it was a fake pass, and the basketball was passed back to Aldridge who was coming from the other side.
The change of cover wall and air cut position is one of Aldridge's biggest gains in the Spurs.
In the past in the Trail Blazers, such a style of play and system support was simply unimaginable.
Parker attracted Ariza in the past, and he deliberately delayed the latter with his body when he landed, so that Aldridge could easily score the goal.Aldridge of the Spurs chose to end with a one-handed dunk.But the moment he was about to hit the basket with the ball, he found a palm appeared on the basket of the Lakers.It is very similar to Duncan's defense just now.But it needs a higher coverage area and a larger sealing force.After blocking the basket and blocking the shot, Tang Qian immediately returned after defending Leonard with the ball, and completed the basket blocking action before Aldridge dunked.
Pa~ Aldridge's shot was also blocked.
Because the ball was blocked in the air, there was no Gai Fei, and the basketball fell from the air and fell into Tang Qian's arms.
The Lakers once again got the right to attack.
Popovich has seen this new understanding of the Lakers this season. It seems that after his teacher's training, this team has completely lost the shadow of last season.The strong defense and the stability of the system are eye-catching.
It deserves to be the league's No. [-] defensive team, and it deserves to be the team coached by Mr. Larry Brown. It's amazing.
But this game, we are not prepared to lose.Mr. Larry Brown, welcome back, let's compete again.
I'm looking forward to it.
