Chapter 1334 The collapse started from Duncan

It's actually a bit surprising that the Lakers were caught up this time, after all, how weird this lineup looks.But, Larry Brown is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.Why?Because this is where the Spurs started to gamble. As a head coach, sometimes they really have to do this, to make strange moves, to narrow the gap in strength and score gap, but this... is not a concern.Why?Even if this game is okay, what about the next few games?Then do you think the Spurs dare to play like this every game?First of all, the stability of the role players is not enough. Even if Larry Brown does not make any changes in the next game, it is estimated that they will have to quit this set.Besides, it's okay for a while, but after a long time, can star players really bear it?joke!Now is an era where data is everything, and there are data emperors everywhere. If you don’t have data, no matter how great your sacrifice is, no one will agree.

After all, watching football consumes electricity.

Larry Brown comforted everyone and said bluntly that none of us played our cards, what are we afraid of?Besides, the Spurs have nothing to be afraid of. In the end, we still win.They are just dying.No one listened to the second half of this sentence, but some people still listened to it before.That's right, our hole cards haven't been played yet, and we didn't fight at full power just now.

And a tie is not a comeback, it's just a start again, it's okay, it's okay.

After finishing all this, Larry Brown just took out the tactical board and drew a few simple strokes, then looked at Tang Qian and said, "Hot, go ahead, no problem?" Tang Qian nodded. There was a breakthrough in the last game of the regular season, so come on, play a little more, the pressure is not too much at all. "That's good." Larry Brown said: "Don't worry, take your time, we don't need to bother to crack this tactic at all. They can fight if they want to. We just keep focusing on the core. Biting the game , the fourth quarter is the moment of collapse for San Antonio. Just do what I say, just keep playing steadily. Don't think about anything else."

Seeing the Lakers coming up, there was no change at all, and the defense was still focused on the core of the Spurs. Everyone was puzzled, and some fans who were more impatient even shouted directly on the Internet: Larry Brown does nothing!However, this made Popovich frown slightly.Because he knew the teacher's personality, he was stubborn and tough, so no matter if he acted impulsively for a while, or he didn't find a way, or he didn't bother to find it at all, or he just kept changing.For this alone, he reacted a little better than when he encountered the Heat's response.

At that time, I chose to defend Chalmers, who was feeling hot and hot, but this step proved to be wrong.Because it was his own step of command that caused the pressure on James to be relieved.Then the Heat team No. 6, who had been suppressed before, finally woke up.Just for this, in fact, the impact has also affected the entire subsequent series.If James sleepwalked in that game again, like he did in 2011, who knows how he would play later.James is not without demons.It's a pity that there is no if.

Of course, this is not simply a matter of coaching ability, but also a matter of character. Larry Brown is more stubborn and tough than Popovich.Therefore, the former will not make any changes at all, just accepting the trick.Just like in 04.It is difficult for Popovich to turn a blind eye.However, there are advantages and disadvantages. For example, in 05, Larry Brown lost.Popovich won, this is in competitive sports, and in the end everything still speaks for itself.

Winning is king.

If you lose, you are weaker.

The Lakers really haven't changed. Although the Spurs are still playing the "weird tricks" just now, it is obvious that the shooting rate and stability have declined.The defensive mentality of the Lakers themselves has gradually stabilized and calmed down from the anxious and confused just now.The scores of the two teams rose staggeredly, but the Spurs seemed to be hanging a lot, why?Isn't it just that most of the Spurs' points come from role players rather than core players?What is the difference, the difference in mentality.Fans look like impressions, insiders look like... stability.

Using role players and star players to compare stability, why doesn't it seem mysterious?

So obviously they didn't lead by a few points, but the Lakers seemed to be pressing the Spurs on the scene. This is a feeling that is hard to explain clearly.You have to watch the game, and you have to spend electricity.But Popovich didn't dare to change his style of play easily. First of all, this style of play is still effective, at least it is the best style of play tonight.If you change it easily, who knows if it will be blocked?It's not easy to pull it back like that.Therefore, I can only freeze, and Popovich himself is a little bit stuck.

Larry Brown just watched the game time, and when it was the last 7-8 minutes of the fourth quarter, he suddenly let No. 29 start a personal attack.It's not the kind of stop-and-go, or the kind that holds a lot of balls, plays a lot of singles, and plays a lot of concentrated play.But what about Duncan?Duncan defended No. 29 just now, but he was quite successful. The scene made No. 29 of the Lakers a lot of tricks.

that……

Tang Qian didn't think too much about it, he attacked with the ball, and after a trial, he went straight in, surpassing Duncan by half a body, and then immediately stepped up and scored.Um?It seems, it seems a little... Tang Qian thought of something, but he was not sure yet. He glanced at the Lakers coaching area, and Larry Brown just nodded at him.The meaning is very clear, don't be vague, continue.

Keep playing!
Tang Qian nodded.

The Spurs missed this wave of offense, Diaw missed a shot, the Lakers protected the defensive rebound, and then advanced steadily.Rondo reached the frontcourt and stood firm, and then gave it to Tang Qian. Tang Qian took the ball and hit it. He passed the Spurs' No. 21 with a big stride. Then, he pulled it up and it was a one-handed dunk!
bang~hit~score~
It's just that no matter how you look at it, it's a bit too easy, right?

Tang Qian looked at No. 21 of the Spurs with some doubts after scoring, because even though Duncan is aging, his experience and perception of space and position under the basket should not disappear so soon.No, it should not be gone!Tang Qian can be sure of this.Otherwise, what is the feeling of being "bound" in front of me?so it is……

Tang Qian's eyes flickered on the defensive end, and he suddenly thought: Duncan, I'm tired.

What's the meaning?Literally.The Spurs' 19-year Dinghaishenzhen is tired.

However, Popovich protected him very well. Because of the addition of Aldridge in this year's playoffs, he did not let Duncan play too much in the playoffs.The average is the first round of 20 minutes.This is already quite a few, at most it is the level of a more important substitute.Why such an arrangement, Popovich himself knows.

The reason is...

Duncan is indeed old, and this year's decline rate can be called a cliff.This can already be seen from the regular season, but Duncan is also in the habit of playing dead in the regular season, so everyone still has expectations for him.I think it may be time for the old man to wipe his hair again in the playoffs and then come back to life.Last year, there were almost 18+11+3+1+1 data.No matter how you look at it, it is a powerful All-Star insider level.But this year, it really won't work.

All the data are falling crazily, why pretend to be dead?It really doesn't exist this year.

After the age of 35, there is basically a landslide every year, and once the age of 40 arrives, the landslide is even more serious. Tim Duncan, who just turned 5 years old 40 days ago, experienced the biggest decline in his life.This decline has many aspects.He couldn't stop it.Physical fitness is the first to bear the brunt.Duncan's physical decline this year is particularly serious. After more than 20 minutes tonight, it is obvious that his legs and feet are not listening.

Then, he finally showed the expression of astonishment, even horror, when Garnett was easily passed by others in one step.

As if to say: How could I be passed so easily?How could I not keep up with this?

Duncan hid his inner emotions better than Garnett, but his physical fatigue could not be concealed.He is really tired now.

The human body is really a miraculous machine. Last year, I was able to average about 36 minutes per game in the playoffs and cut 18+11+3+1+1 data.This year, after only one year and 365 days, it has reached a situation where I feel uncomfortable for 20 minutes.Explosion, transformation, you think he doesn't want it?I really didn't want to do it before, but now I really can't do it.

He is old.

As soon as the 40-year-old Kan arrived, the so-called No. 21 rookie, he also lost the care of the old man.

Powerless to explode, powerless to return to heaven.

You can only watch your opponents wreak havoc on your own head, and watch young people play wild on your own head.

In 13, he could still score 30 points and take over the game in the finals. In 14, he could explode suddenly. Last year, he could stand up and tell everyone, I want to explode, or your old man.Still at the All-Star level.This year... Tired, tired, tired, nothing but tired.

Duncan himself wanted to erupt, but he just couldn't. The button that was once easy to press had now turned into heavily corroded rust.I can't press it, I can't press it no matter what.

Tang Qian completed another attack on his head, this time it was simpler, and it was a one-handed dunk after entering!Duncan wanted to block it, but his legs didn't work.

Tang Qian turned his back this time, and he wanted to make a foul, but his legs and feet didn't listen to him, and he couldn't move in place for a second. Instead, it became his own blocking foul, and the opponent scored an additional penalty. 2+1.Seeing the Lakers No. 29 make the free throw at the free throw line in San Antonio, he could only wipe the sweat from his brow.

Tired, tired.

I want to explode!I want to save the team like always!However, I looked inside my fuel tank... It seems that this time, there is really no fuel left.

The fuel tank, bottomed out, is empty.

In fact, there are some cruel things, maybe the Spurs fans, and even Popovich himself don't think so now.That is, in fact, the so-called Spurs are declining, and the Spurs are old. There is only one point...that is, Duncan is aging.He is the node of this operation center, and the rest are branches and leaves that rely on him to grow up.If he fails, the spirit of the team will be lost. At least some time will be needed to recover.

For this matter, I am afraid that Popovich did not expect it.

I thought that a simple replacement of the inner and outer cores could handle the replacement of the old and new teams, and then make the Spurs stronger for another 20 years.In fact, this idea is a bit too idealistic.Reality, sometimes it's just for the sake of ideals.

"Tyrant~hot~~~~~~~" Duncan was still just wiping his sweat when he heard Bill McDonald shouting Tang Qian's name inside the Staples Center.He felt a sense of limit, and his legs were almost unable to stand.Originally, this season was Duncan's cliff-like decline season, and now he is facing the monster No. 29 of the Lakers.

Even in his peak period, this kind of monster has to go all out, so Duncan's consumption has been accelerated.

He tried to explode, but unfortunately it didn't work.

The number 29 is still on his head, taking whatever he wants, leaving him with nothing to do except look up and watch the goal.Even protecting rebounds, he is a little weak now.

Because tired, too tired.

Popovich also saw this, but he couldn't use Aldridge to support or replace. Doing that would only make the Spurs completely lose the possibility of final victory.Even the hope of winning.After all, Duncan can't take care of the offensive now, so Aldridge must keep it and use it on offense.On the defensive end, he can't do anything.

The Lakers just want to compete with you for the giant star. After learning what the Thunder did, what can you do?
The opponent has never wavered from the beginning to the end, and has been doing this all the time, and, moreover, he is still specifically beating Duncan! ! !

Duncan turned into a defensive black hole? ? ?This is probably no one would have thought of.After all, it is Tim Duncan, a man who has won more than a dozen defenses in his career.The man whose career defensive contribution value is only lower than the great Bill Russell.A man who was the Spurs' playoff favorite until last year.Such a man, you said he will be targeted, will be blown up by the opponent as a black hole?If you say it before this game, no one will believe it.However, this is the truth.

No matter how strong it is, it was also a matter of the first 18 years. Now Duncan, who is entering the 19th year of his career, has finally reached the time when he can't hold back.The Dinghaishenzhen of the Spurs began to be really defeated tonight.

After the Lakers discovered on the 29th that Duncan was no longer a threat, they played more and more relaxed, and played more smoothly.

After Tang Qian turned his back again, shook Duncan away, and dunked successfully.That's how the game came to an end.Who would have thought that the Spurs, who had been biting the Lakers before, suddenly collapsed in the middle of the fourth quarter.Or, collapsed on their No. 21?Who would have thought of this? ? ?

But the fact is that Tang Qian scored 15 consecutive points in this period, directly leading the Lakers to defeat the Spurs and winning the first game of the series.Tang Qian scored 27 points, including 17 points in the fourth quarter, leading the team to win.The data of the Spurs in this game is very weird, the Leonard Aldridge GDP combination, none of them scored 15 points.The highest is Leonard's 15 points.The rest include Adelaide, which is 11 points.

No. 21 of the Spurs scored 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block tonight.These 8 points were all scored in the first half, what about the second half?Didn't score a single point.The data for the entire second half is 1 block.Then, no more.

相比去年他还有18+11+3+1+1的实力，今年，有点跌得惨不忍睹。

But this is competition, only look at the winner, Tang Qian won, the Lakers won, this is the final result.

Lakers VS Spurs, 95-90, big score in the Western Conference semifinals, 1-0.
