basketball purple front

Chapter 844 0-2! (Big chapter sent~)

The Lakers adjusted the lineup changes in the second half, but this lineup change was also expected by Popovich.

In terms of the level of the head coach, the gap between the two sides is so huge.

D'Antoni may not be a head coach of the same level as McHale, but compared to Popovich?Sorry, but he's not in the same class then.In fact, there are not many head coaches who can compete with Popovich in NBA history, and there are only a handful of them.

In terms of honor, there are only three players in NBA history who can beat Popovich hard. They are "Zen Master" Phil Jackson, "Cardinal" Auerbach, and "Magician" Riley.These few people lead the team as head coaches, and they all have at least 3 or more NBA championships.Popovich ranks about 8-8.But we also need to look at the objective conditions. Popovich is almost the most "simple" head coach of the stars among these few people.Because whether it is Auerbach, Phil Jackson, or Riley, they have all had a large number of superstars and even superstars. It is estimated that a large number of the top 4 players in NBA history have played under their hands.

And Popovich, just a top ten Duncan in history, and then there is no more.

At least Manu Ginobili or Parker, it is difficult for them to really rank in the top 40~50 in NBA history. Although one of them has FMVP support, they have not had a career and have no defense. In the top ten competition, in fact, it has always been a bit weightless.Even if it is the best team, there are only 4 Parkers, which is certainly not bad in active service, but since it is necessary to compare the entire NBA history, his status and starlight are undoubtedly much bleak.Not to mention Mano Ginobili, his historical status is definitely lower than that of Parker, whether it is an All-Star or the number of times in the best team, it is too little.And he doesn't have FMVP as a big honor in his hands.

It's not that this lineup isn't strong, it's just that it's undoubtedly a bit "shabby" compared to the lineup in Auerbach's hands, Phil Jackson's and Pat Riley's.Therefore, it further highlights Popovich's strength in tactics and personal abilities.

Of course, even if this is the case, even if it can only be ranked fourth in history, Popovich is not comparable to Mike D'Antoni.Because the top three are no longer coaching in the league, he is the strongest head coach in active service, not one of them.

The specialization of the Spurs also allows him to dictate, which is beyond the reach of any head coach in the NBA.

D'Antoni's plan and the forced changes of the Lakers were almost all expected by Popovich and the Spurs, so there was no sense of panic or panic at all.Still insisting on a single seal, Kawhi Leonard went up to defend Kobe individually, preventing Kobe from mobilizing the entire Lakers because of his single play.

Seeing that the Spurs really chose a single defense, Kobe was a bit unknown. This season, no, his entire career, who would dare to continue to do this to him?The spurs?Have you forgotten the critical attack I made on you before?
That being the case, I will fight until you change formation! ! !
Kobe lost his temper, asked for the ball from the flank, and then began to single Leonard, a three-threat, and then directly faked a probing step, and then No. 24's body was like a spirit snake and rushed to the Spurs' penalty area.Kobe's ball went to the bottom line, but he was surprised to find that his ball was only stretched by less than half a body position. Originally, according to his calculations, it was at least a body position or even a direct breakthrough.This third grader?How to react so quickly?Kobe quickly changed his moves, made an emergency stop, then turned around and shook, stopped at a high speed, and then made a series of movements smoothly. This is already a very powerful thing, not to mention the requirements for technology and ball feel, even It is physical fitness, which is also difficult for ordinary players to achieve.

Pleasing to the eye and picturesque, this is the best evaluation of Kobe's playing.

Especially this season, he is the peak version in all aspects, and his attacking tricks are infinite. The ball swayed away from Leonard, and then he took off and shot.However, at the moment of the shot, Kobe seemed to see a black shadow rushing towards the basketball in his hand from the corner of his eyes.

This is? ...This is the palm of that third grader!

The guy's wingspan and instant defensive reflexes?So fast? ? ?
Kobe couldn't help being slightly surprised that the physical condition of this "facially paralyzed youth" in 1991, especially the physical hardware, was excellent.Although the height is only 201CM, the arm span has reached an exaggerated 221CM! 221cm? ? ?In other words, the wingspan of this "post-90s" is almost 20cm longer than his height! ! !In the process of defense, the effect will be indescribable.For example, Rondo's super wingspan also gives him an advantage in the No. 1 position.

And you have to say that this wingspan is really a great weapon for NBA defensive players. Basically, if your wingspan has been favored by God, then as long as you are not too stupid or bad, you may become a NBA defensive strongman.There are too many such examples. Ibaka has a wingspan of 226cm, but his height is only 208cm. Duncan's height is 213cm, but his wingspan is an astonishing 230cm. D'Antoni Jordan, Anthony Davis, Bismarck Biyombo Wait, wait, even if it is Pau Gasol, if he doesn't have the super wingspan of 230cm, do you think that with his athletic talent, he can still play defense in the NBA to this point?

This is especially true for insiders. Basically, there are very few super insiders with short arms, including Tang Qian himself, who is also one of the long-armed monsters.

However, an outside player with a wingspan of 221cm or even higher is too exaggerated, so Kobe is not surprised.

For example, Dirk Nowitzki, who is 7 feet tall, has a wingspan of 215cm, and the current defensive champion Joakim Noah of the Bulls has a wingspan of 217cm.Ben Wallace 218CM.Stoudemire 218CM.Even Olajuwon only has a wingspan of 220CM.Bosh, Chris Webber, and Dwight Howard, who claim to have a very long wingspan, are only about 223cm... Looking at it this way, you can understand Leonard's horror.

201CM's flexibility and explosive power, the basic range of defensive coverage is comparable to that of inside players, which Kobe has basically never encountered before.Because even McGrady, who is known as a talented man, has not reached this wingspan value.And McGrady's actual height was measured once when he came to China, and it was around 210CM!After deducting the height of the shoes, it is definitely about 208CM.This also explains why McGrady and Kobe stand together, obviously a big chunk higher!
In some respects, McGrady really deserves to be Durant's template, and lying about his height is a piss.

Moreover, McGrady's defensive function is far behind the current young man.

But Kobe is still Kobe, a twisted waist adjustment in the air, barely avoiding the long arm, and then scored the goal.

It's a pity that Kobe and Leonard used to be in time and space, because Kobe tore his Achilles tendon in the 12-13 season, and Leonard's real rapid growth period was the 13-14 season, and Kobe has been "completely scummed" at this time, completely Falling off the tail of the pinnacle.And I said before that the regular season is basically a matchup defense, and there are very few misplaced conventional defenses. Therefore, there are not many opportunities for Leonard at the 3rd position to defend Kobe at the 2nd position.

In the playoffs, the two never met, because Kobe watched the playoffs in the 12-13 season while lying on the hospital bed.

So it is a pity that the original time and space did not stage the battle of the strongest spear on the outside VS the strongest shield on the outside.

But this time and space made up for it.

After scoring the goal, Kobe glanced back at him and spouted a trash talk, but there was another detail that surprised the Black Mamba again.

The No. 2 of the Spurs has no expression or fluctuations at all, as if he is not affected at all.

Kobe shrank his eyes, and he didn't say much, but retreated to the Lakers' half court to prepare for defense.

The Spurs missed an open mid-range shot, and Tang Qian jumped high to protect the defensive rebound.He struggled in this round of the series, because not only the offensive end, but also the rebounding was not smooth.The competitive state has been weakened by more than 2% for no reason, which makes Tang Qian's rebounding ability have declined significantly compared to the regular season.

However, he has no choice. If he wants to get rid of this so-called "demon", there is only one way, and the "Different Space" has already told him.

Win the championship.

As long as he wins the championship in the real world, then his "demon" restriction will be lifted, it's as simple as that.

At the same time, it also means... If he can't win the championship in real space, then he will always be troubled by "inner demons".

One season, two seasons, ten seasons, until sadly retired.

Tang Qian certainly doesn't want to be in this state, so he thinks this time the Lakers' playoffs are his best chance in the near future.If you miss it, you may not know how long you will have to wait.

But in the basketball world, if you want to fight, others don't?Especially the Spurs this season?Do you think that group of veterans are less vengeful than you?In terms of desire to win the championship, this Spurs team is also the last chance for the GDP combination.Duncan and the others will not let the Lakers pass easily.

Because, this is also the last fight of the San Antonio veterans.

Their mentality cannot be ignored, it is definitely not a supporting role in some brainless novels, but the protagonist is Long Aotian.

In fact, why is this Spurs team super strong, bursting out with destructive power far beyond the paper lineup?Spirit and desire are also very important aspects.Think about it, even Duncan took the initiative to block people and block positions, worked hard as a meat shield or even a coolie at the basket, who else on the Spurs could not sacrifice?
The team, the 13-14 Spurs, really did it all.

Even if you watched the finals of that year, you will know that even the Miami Heat, even the strongest Zhan Huang in the finals, did not push the true limit of this Spurs team.Losing an average of 14-15 points per game, and being beaten by a maximum of 20 points or more in almost every game, what is the spare power and possibility to force the opponent?

Kobe attacked again, but this time he failed to score, because the young man who looked a bit "facially paralyzed" suddenly exploded on the defensive end, which greatly interfered with Kobe's shot.The basketball hit the iron and bounced out of the basket. Tang Qian wanted to fight for the rebound, but he didn't know when his body appeared in front of him. It was... No. 21 of the Spurs, Tim Duncan.He was willing to come out to be a blue-collar worker, sacrificing data, and not allowing Tang Qian to enter the best rebounding area.

Duncan is old and no longer as brave as he used to be, but his experience and position have reached a terrifying level, almost Tang Qian just lifted his foot, and the former blocked Tang Qian.This point seems ordinary, but there are few ordinary NBA insiders who can achieve such perfection.This is a combination of consciousness and sacrifice. In order to limit the Lakers' rebounds to the greatest extent, how to stop No. 29 is a subject that the Spurs have studied in detail long ago.

There is no way to defend rebounds, but offensive rebounds must be contained as much as possible.Can't repeat the mistakes of the Mavericks and Rockets before.

On the whole, I finally came to the conclusion that no one in this league can limit his rebounding in a one-on-one situation.

Duncan even bluntly said that even in his peak period, it is not as good, so the Spurs' countermeasure is...

No. 21 Duncan took the initiative to sacrifice, using his rich experience and rebound judgment to block No. 29's offensive rebound.For some stars, this is actually a big loss, because doing so means that their data will be virtually reduced.However, Duncan doesn't care about these things at all, at least for this year, he no longer cares about these things.

In some mentality, he and Kobe are the same, this is his last chance, he is willing to make any sacrifice.

data?So what is it?

This Spurs team can still play without anyone.

Moreover, ordinary blue-collars may not be able to stop the Eastern center so accurately. The entire Spurs are only possible with Duncan, an "old ball".a waste of resource?No, for Duncan, it's just a task to help the team win, nothing more.It's just that he was a big nail before, but now he's replaced by a smaller nail.

For the Spurs, for him, there is actually not much difference in essence.

He is a completely different leader and team soul from Kobe, Jordan or even James.

Kobe and Leonard fought together. Within a few minutes, Kobe also took eight shots. Except for one conversion into free throws, the eight shots on the 24th, no, the data recorded 8 shots. 7 hits.The hit rate is only 3%.This may be passable for ordinary Kobe, but for Kobe this season, this is being defended.At least it's an effective limit.

You have to know that this season Kobe's regular season hits were 49.7%. This wave of attacks has dropped a lot, hasn't it?
Kobe was a little annoyed, he also exploded immediately, and then scored several goals in a row, but what the Staples Center fans didn't expect was... After a few goals, No. 24's shooting percentage dropped again.Although at first glance, this paragraph has a shooting percentage of about 45%, but for Kobe this season, it is not qualified.Because this period is all one-on-one singles, even if Kobe is not at his peak in one-on-one singles, his shooting percentage has reached 4%. This season, his total singles shooting percentage has exceeded 7% in one fell swoop. , reaching above 5%!The king of singles is definitely a solid one!
And the defensive attitude of the defender on the opposite side also made him unhappy. No matter how he scored the whole time, the opponent always had a "paralyzed face", as if the latter had no other expression besides this.This guy, did he learn from Tim, or...was he also born a "stone" type?

If it's the former, it's okay, but it's the defensive mentality of the latter. Looking at the entire league, it's estimated that the outside line...

snort!impossible!I want to see how long you can last under my hands!
Kobe fell for it!He shouldn't single Leonard like this!But even Tang Qian couldn't predict it!Because the ESPN classic analysis long article about Leonard will not come out until 2016, and in that year, Tang Qian no longer exists in the original time and space.Otherwise, he will definitely tell Kobe not to play three threats in front of him to spy on the middle distance. This trick is especially difficult to deal with Leonard!Because Leonard is not a defensive model like the traditional and classical perimeter defense, he is a typical model polished by the Spurs, which is the defensive method that best fits the Spurs system-the so-called "blocking the center and letting the side go."

Moreover, his use of his body has almost reached the limit of the perimeter on the defensive end. Tang Qian doesn't know if Jordan can achieve Leonard's defensive performance if he devotes all his energy to the defensive end.But as far as the current situation is concerned, he has reached the historical level among perimeter defenders, and even after he is perfected in the future, he is qualified to challenge the peak of the strongest perimeter defender for a period of time.

According to ESPN data analysis, Leonard's defense is extremely strong in suppressing the mid-range. Whether it is the flanks or the high position, all of them can make the opponent's shooting rate lower than about 35%.three-point line?Even more exaggerated, the whole process is suppressed between 29 and 27%. Except for the zero-degree angle on the left, his perimeter defense basically has no dead ends.

Go straight to the inside?That didn't work too well either.Because this guy's suppression of the opponent's inside shots can also be suppressed to less than 50% of the field goal percentage. What kind of concept is this?Even if the outside players reach the inside, they basically have a shooting percentage of at least close to 60%.So the best way to deal with Leonard is...

But now Kobe is a little irritated, not only is the opponent's defense really "okay", but mainly because he suddenly discovered a fact.

That guy who doesn't seem to have any nerve cells on his face is using himself to "practice" and he is using himself to "level up with long experience"! ! !
this!This Nima can bear it! ! !I'm Kobe! ! !I'm a black mamba! ! !
I want you to regret facing me one-on-one! ! !

But tonight, Kobe's paranoia may actually have the opposite effect. He passed very little in the second half, and he has completely fallen into a one-on-one fight with his opponent.And when the game time is still sufficient, it is not good for the team to do this frequently.

Because it will make the rest of the team unable to touch the ball, resulting in a sense of slack, and once this sense of slack appears, it will have an impact on offense and defense.That's why the "Zen Master" was in the last quarter, and at the last critical moment, the stars were allowed to play unlimited singles, not all the players did this.

As for the grasp of human nature, in the last few minutes, it may be nervousness, maybe victory is in sight, or something else. Anyway, a large amount of statistical analysis of data, even if they are not given the ball, they will not easily feel slack.Therefore, this is also the reason why "Zen Master" focuses on the old Winter's version of the triangle in the first three quarters, and the reason why he focuses on his own version of the triangle in the last quarter.

Kobe did this early on, breaking this law, and the overall state of the Lakers gradually cooled down.

You know, he is not the kind of off-ball shot he used to be, but now he basically shoots with the ball.

In this way, the rest of the Lakers players have not touched the hair of many rounds of basketball.

The decline in enthusiasm and enthusiasm is for sure. If someone tells you that you can not touch the ball for a period of time and still maintain the strongest enthusiasm and concentration in the game, it will either treat you as a fool or he himself is a fool.

Bryant fell into another trap set by Popovich.

This is a strategy that Popovich came up with on the spur of the moment after Leonard's personal defense ability improved by leaps and bounds in the playoffs this season.I never thought about it, but I succeeded as soon as I used it. On the 24th, I was hooked.

When there were only 5 minutes left in the last game, the Lakers had no chance of winning. Kobe scored a full 33 points in the second half and 45 points in the game, but... so what?He took 35+ shots, almost surpassing his personal playoff record.The shooting rate is not high, only around 44%. This shooting rate is a very low shooting rate for Kobe in this year's playoffs.

Leonard's brilliance and his overly persistent singles dragged the Lakers into the abyss of failure.

In the end, Kobe actually found that such outside singles are not enough, he wanted to go inside, but this season, the Spurs, no, the Spurs have always had a defensive system of "blocking the center and letting the side go", that is to say, they Very good at setting up defensive traps.After letting you rush in, it will be surrounded by multiple defenses, making it extremely difficult for you to shoot.

Even O'Neal was miserable by the Spurs' low-post defense back then, especially Kobe.

Even after he is at his full peak, he is still not as good as James, who is the strongest in this area, in terms of hitting the basket.

What will happen to James against the Spurs?In fact, the original time and space last year was a bit of a fluke, but this time and space was not the case. Because of the consumption of the Lakers, all the Spurs were seriously overdrawn, and they were "inexplicably" shaved a bald head and swept out.

So playing against the Spurs was a mistake. It wasn't that Kobe was not strong, but that he was a bit competitive and found the wrong way.

The audience was 105-95, and the Lakers lost again by 10 points, and the continuous low scoring also made this team really start to feel the huge crisis.

Ke scored 45 points after the game, but there was no smile on his face at all. He lost two games in a row at home. The pressure and anger made him almost fail to turn his originally black skin into a pure carbon color.Tang Qian also did not perform well in this game. No, the entire Lakers team did not perform well inside. He only scored 2 points, 9 rebounds and 13 blocks. Gasol was even worse, with only 2 points and 10 blocks. The rebound was recorded, and the morale was immediately reversed by the opponent.

And they are not the worst stats among the "Four Heavenly Kings". The worst stats belong to Steve Nash tonight.

Because he didn't play much tonight, he only scored 12 points and 3 assists, and 3 assists was his worst level since this year's playoffs.He was completely contained by the Spurs, both offensively and defensively.

Without him, the Lakers' offensive chaos and fragmentation in the playoffs can be seen at a glance.

Completely lost the heroic attitude that easily swept the Rockets in the last round.

In short, in short, the Lakers have lost 2 home games, and they fell behind their opponents by a big score of 0-2.

This round of the series will be very exciting, Xiaozi still has a little confidence in writing the competition~
