Chapter 850 Super Shot Blocker

The two sides fought to the last quarter. During this period, the shooting rate was not too high, and there was basically no fast break, so nearly 7 minutes passed, and the score of both sides was not yet 85 points. 83-82, the Los Angeles Lakers temporarily lead by one point.

And for this one-point lead, the price for the Lakers is that Kobe didn't play almost the entire game, and since Nash left the game, he has been shouldering the burden of most of the Lakers' scoring.This game finally looks like a playoff game, which is completely different from being beaten by the Spurs at every turn.

Although Popovich was also surprised by the strength of the Lakers, he was not too anxious because he didn't believe that only two people could beat the Spurs.It's okay for a short time, but for a long time?Whether a person has a perpetual motion machine, there will always be physical problems and state problems.You thought you were reading some completely unrealistic brainless novels.

Even if you play 2K, they still have stamina, don't they?
But this time Popovich finally made a mistake, that is, with the current state of Kobe and Tang Qian, they will not have any physical problems at all.At least for a few games, no problem.Kobe is in full peak form, and the previous series have been controlled at a relatively reasonable and appropriate average playing time. In addition, the sweep of the Rockets has given him a lot of rest. Now he will play a few games and play the whole game without any pressure.

There was a little problem at the end of the regular season. That’s because there are 82 games in the regular season. Of course you can’t play like this, and you’re not Iron Man?

However, in the playoffs, Kobe, who has adjusted, will hardly have physical problems.

Tang Qian is even more straightforward, because he is now in the state of "half-god descending to earth", at least there will be no physical worries on the defensive end.So seeing that the game time was getting less and less, Popovich finally frowned slightly.Seeing the scores of the two sides rising alternately, he knew what to do.Otherwise, the Spurs will be at a disadvantage in the final round.

Why?Because the Lakers have number 24!There is a black mamba!
Kobe's status this year is completely in his eyes, so it is very likely that he will change his offense and defense at the end of the game.

After all, the Spurs don't have such a person this season, and Ginobili is also getting older, not in the state of a few years ago.

It is not very beneficial for the Spurs to fight against the superstar singles at the last moment.

So on one play where the Spurs had the ball, Popovich called a timeout and the game went into timeout.

Popovich waited for the Spurs players to come and said: "In the next time, play tactical ball and tactical offense."

The entire Spurs team was slightly taken aback, but quickly nodded.

If the initial offense is just the normal state of this Spurs team, then the tactical offense is their fighting state.

The combination of various tactics is easy to come by in this San Antonio Legion.

I saw Popovich began to write something quickly on the tactical board, and then kept talking, his expression was not the slightest bit nervous, he was very calm and confident.

"Tony, you control the tempo. Play No. 33 as a whole, and play by ear for partial changes." The Frenchman nodded upon hearing this. Extremely underestimated existence.

"Tim, you are the supporter of the low post. You are the leader of the low post."

"Manu, you can play after a while, forget about the feeling and state of the first three quarters, look for the opportunity, and solve it yourself."

……

On the Lakers side, there is no atmosphere like the Spurs at all, but D'Antoni keeps talking, and the tactical board is not used.No way, without Nash, without the No. 1 position to implement his system and style of play, he can hardly do anything in this Lakers team.Because this team was built temporarily before, and the turnover of personnel is very high. The team management is not a team built for the championship at all.If it weren't for Nash's comeback, there would be all kinds of individual performances and miracles ahead. Even now, D'Antoni doesn't know how he won 68 wins and 14 losses in retrospect.

His heart was not ready either.

His original thought was that if he played casually this season, he would be able to make it to the playoffs. How could he know...

All of a sudden, the Lakers reached the Western Conference Finals.

In the last 5 minutes, Tang Qian noticed the changes in the Spurs as soon as he came up. First of all, the lineup. They replaced the Brazilian Tiago Splitter and replaced them with the shorter French insider Boris. . Diaw, replaced Danny. Green, replaced by Argentine Manu Ginobili.This change is tantamount to directly weakening the Spurs' inside height and outside defensive strength.Secondly, the offensive formation they launched after they ran over also changed.

In the past, it was the traditional positioning, two insiders went to the basket, the wing players walked 45 degrees, and the top arc point guard held the ball. Now it is different. Except for Duncan, the new inside player Frenchman Diaw is equal to the front. The entire Spurs team There are now 4 players in the middle and high positions, and only No. 21 Tim Duncan is left in the low position.

This is an unconventional offensive position, and it seems that the Spurs are going to make a strong move.

Tang Qian stood under the basket, holding his breath silently, waiting for the battle.

Tianchao Sports Station.

"The Spurs have made a substitution. This should be a slap in the face and play the real game." Yang Yi said.

"It should be playing tactics." Su Qun stared at the broadcast screen and said, "Small tactics or big tactics?"

"Ginobili goes to the left elbow, is he blocking? It's a center screen, and his screener is Leonard? Leonard uses this screen to go to the right 45-degree angle, and Parker passes the ball Give it to him, do you want a three-pointer?" Leonard is a person with a stable three-pointer ability, and his three-pointer shooting rate this season is almost 3%, which is good enough.Although his top shots and strong shots are relatively small, but in the Spurs, he generally uses a lot of them.As long as you execute your tactics carefully, there will always be opportunities for 38-point shots.But Kobe reacted quickly. Seeing that Nick Young was blocked, he immediately lifted him up from the right flank.

The ball was very decisive. According to Kobe's speed, it should be able to interfere.Can……

"Kobe Bryant blocked! Diaw from the Spurs stepped up and set a screen, blocking Kobe's path!"

It turns out that this is the reason why all four of the Spurs mentioned the mid-to-high position. Kobe was blocked, Leonard made a 4-pointer, brushed ~, hit, and the Spurs took the lead.

"This is a small tactic, with 3 people working together, it should be a kind of Spurs' Hanmmer.Action tactic." Su Qun just finished speaking and said, "It should be a 4-man tactic, Parker also joined in, he went to the left Pulled a little bit, took one of the Lakers' defenders."

The Spurs are at home, and the atmosphere is up, and the people of San Antonio stand up one after another, ready to watch the last 4 minutes of the game.

It is also a practice in the NBA that home fans stand up and watch in the last few minutes of the series, and it has been popularized a long time ago.

This is also a field culture and fan culture that is lacking in China now.

The Lakers Kobe slammed hard, leaned back, feinted a few times, and finally deceived Leonard's defensive focus a little bit, and then shot.However, the distance Kobe swayed was not large enough. Leonard's super wingspan played a role. Even if he took off one step later, he still gave No. 24 enough interference with the ball.

This guy actually improved his defensive status a little bit? ? ?

However, the rebound was grabbed by Tang Qian, and then he took off to shoot. Duncan blocked the ball, and Tang Qian took off for the second time, which finally caused a personal foul on No. 21 of the Spurs.It's a pity that Tang Qian missed all 2 free throws, which was tantamount to wasting an offense, which was tantamount to a turnover.

hateful!The defensive end is okay, but the offensive end is already a bit physically exhausted, and the feeling of shooting and exerting force is very uncomfortable!
Of course!Such a long playing time is still fierce in the Western Conference Finals. It is not surprising that Tang Qian's physical fitness is rapidly depleted. Moreover, the "half god" means only defense and rebounding, and offense is not within its scope of effectiveness.In this way, Tang Qian's attack was further weakened.

The Spurs' next ball was the same as before, but this ball Kobe bypassed the wall from one side, and then blocked Leonard's shot.But Leonard didn't panic. He quickly threw the ball to Duncan who was on the inside. Duncan saw that the defender was Gasol and immediately chose a back shot.Swipe ~, also enter, the score difference continues to expand.

On the offensive end, Kobe leaned back and hit a goal, but the difficulty and energy consumption were much higher than those of the Spurs.

The next ball is even more classic, fully embodying the Spurs' ability to execute tactics.

The inside line is completely empty, with shooters standing in both corners and bottom corners. Duncan goes up to pick and roll, and then rolls down the first time.Diaw deliberately slowed down the speed. This is...he deliberately waited for the Lakers to attack and defend, and then quickly passed to Ginobili in the right corner. Ginobili feinted and attracted Kobe. Immediately, the ball was given to Tony Parker at 45 degrees on the right. At this time, Gasol struggled to make up for it.But Parker is not the end point. He put the basketball in his hand directly from outside the three-point line to Duncan inside. Duncan dribbled the ball vigorously deep into the inside of the Lakers, but he didn't make a shot at all. He just attracted Tang Qian and Meeks. After coming over, without looking back, he threw the basketball in his hand to Leonard in the left corner.

At this time, the Lakers' defensive line was completely torn apart. After many times of defense and mending, the matchup was completely messy, and Leonard could be said to have calmly made a 3-pointer.

brush~
Come on!All of a sudden the score difference widened!All the hard work of the Lakers before has been wiped out!

This made Mike D'Antoni feel desperate, because the situation of the Spurs is different from that of the Lakers. They obviously still have the feeling that they still have enough energy. With a little effort, they can reverse the stalemate score difference.In fact, the Heat team in the original time and space also encountered this. Even though they were ten points ahead of the Spurs, they quickly saw that the opponent was not in a hurry. As soon as the tactical ball was pulled away, they immediately caught up with the score through super execution and Overtake in one breath.

This method of attack is too damaging to people's morale, and it feels like you have worked hard but are not as serious as others.

The difficulty and method of scoring are not on the same level.

The Lakers are now also being tested by this problem.

Just when the Lakers fans were a little flustered, No. 24 threw two three-pointers in a row, and they all made no sense and went straight to the top. Leonard obviously couldn't find any faults in his defense, but It just didn't stop the orange basketball from shooting into the basket.

Well done boss! ! !Kill the Spurs in one go! ! !Don't let them be arrogant anymore! ! !

Lakers fans left messages in the live broadcast room, but this kind of ball cannot last. If it can last forever, it will be surreal.

Kobe's third three-pointer went flying, because Leonard seemed to touch the basketball, and the basketball bounced out of the basket.

The current lineup of the Spurs is naturally stronger and more familiar with the conduction and tactical balls than the lineup just now, but after replacing the Brazilian center, the height of the Spurs' inside line suddenly dropped. Using Gasol and Duncan Tang potential pressure Kawhi Leonard to grab this offensive rebound.

But he didn't choose to pass the ball anymore. The decline in physical fitness made him more weak on the offensive end, so he could only pass the basketball to the outside again. , The basketball bounced and fell to the other side of Tang Qian's rebound range.The Spurs protected the rebound.

Looking at the game time, there are only 2 minutes and 17 seconds left.

Now both the fans at the scene and the fans in front of the computer in front of the TV are nervous, but the Lakers fans are obviously more psychologically stressed.Because the big score is unfavorable now, they no longer have a retreat like San Antonio fans.

If you lose, you are basically out of the series.

Tang Qian also felt his heart beating faster and his blood surging. He couldn't control the attack from the outside, but he had to defend the inside.

The Spurs made a strong cross screen on the right side. Leonard did not go out to shoot a three-pointer this time, but plunged into the Lakers' flank, and then he jumped up to attack the basket directly.

"Don't think about it!" Tang Qian stood on the spot and took off, ready to block Leonard's ball, but unexpectedly it was a breakthrough pass, a fake shot and a real pass. After the basketball attracted Tang Qian to take off, he passed the ball to Bo on the inside side. Reese Dior's hands.Although Dior is not as tall as the Brazilian Thiago Splitter, his passing and tactical abilities are much better than the latter.

He was replaced to allow the Spurs to handle the ball more smoothly and complexly.

He himself can be used alone as a temporary axis. In the Spurs, the Frenchman found himself.

He felt that his team value was immediately highlighted.

Tianchao Sports Station.

"Gasol went to defend Diaw, but Diaw made a back pass! The basketball was sent to No. 21 Duncan on the other side of the penalty area! Duncan was unguarded! This goal is going to be scored!" But Su Qun hadn't finished speaking, and was broadcasting the signal On the screen, a figure rushed out from under the basket, and then jumped up like a falcon, stretching its arms and shooting towards the midair.

That oriental man, how did he react so quickly?He actually completely ignored Boris' attraction with the ball?
Is this a coincidence?Popovich watched from the sidelines, thinking.

"Block! Oh! Tang Qian blocked this ball! This ball Tang Qian appeared too timely! You can only sigh with regret even if you are a second late!" Yang Yi said: "But this kind of ball, there is no way to appear too much in a game. Many times, because since the highlight shots are highlight shots, it is impossible to appear frequently.” It sounds reasonable, but after Kobe made a breakthrough and caused the Spurs to foul 2 free throws, Tang Qian actually interfered with the Spurs’ inside cooperation. , Tactics and conduction are of high quality, but none of this has fooled the Easterner's sense of blocking shots at the basket.

This guy!

Actually blocked the shot and started to act purely on intuition and smell?Will he become a stable super shot blocker in the league?

Also said yes, he is now?
The higher your basic ability is, the stronger your explosive power will be. Tang Qian who is also "defending The.Zone" now is completely different from Tang Qian who first entered the league, or even Tang Qian last year.At least in the past, he couldn't achieve the current defensive state.

Relying on the intuition of blocking shots and the sense of smell to block opponents, to such an extent, it is only possible for Tang Qian to enter the "defense of The.Zone".This is already a unique top-notch field.Only now did Tang Qian really dare to pat his chest and say that he is the "super shot-blocker" in the NBA at the moment, and he even faintly touches the edge of the "god of shot-blocking".

Without the blessing of "Demigod Descending to Earth", he would not be able to do it even if he entered the "Defense The.Zone" now.

This is a very mysterious feeling that cannot be described in words.

It's like his body and judgment can react one step ahead of his own brain, and he doesn't even "pass his brain" at all.

Jordan once said that sometimes he felt that the whole court was full of puppets, and the whole court was slowed down. He could observe all the movements and all the flaws in an instant.The words he said in his documentary "Extreme Jordan" are not empty words. In some aspects and at certain moments, Jordan stepped into the hall of "God of Basketball", and he... is also a legend in NBA history. the only one.

"The Spurs took a low post 'Duncan foot' tactic, which is our classic low post rotation screen tactic, mainly relying on Duncan's... Well, the opportunity came up and a double waist insertion was picked up here, it would be Who will attack the rim?" Sean Elliott, the home commentator of the Spurs, said: "Oh~ It's Kawhi's impact dunk! This ball has..."

bang~bang~
Under the eyes of nearly 2 spectators, No. 29 of the Lakers took off a big hot pot and directly capped No. 2 of the Spurs for a dunk.

A little bit of hesitation and hesitation on the ball would lead to a failed shot block, or even a tragic dunk, but... his judgment was absolutely correct.During the process, Manu Ginobili, who was also likely to launch an impact on the other side, was completely ignored.

This guy!He actually judged it? ? ?How did he do it? ? ?
Now Popovich couldn't help but be a little surprised, because he has never seen a character with such a strong sense of blocking smell since he started coaching basketball.Even the "Mammoth" Mark Eaton didn't have this level?Is this Dongfang kid really going to turn the basket he guards into a defensive hell?

The team's defense has achieved this level by one person. I must try to recruit this Eastern center next year as much as possible!
Dig to San Antonio!

What a waste of his defensive talent on the Los Angeles Lakers! ! !
Popovich saw that the Lakers' number 29's ability to protect the rim had reached this level, and he couldn't help but stood up, and opened his mouth and shouted:
"Switch tactics! Play Z tactics! At this stage, temporarily avoid hitting the Lakers' basket!"
