Chapter 851 I Don't Want To End Here

Swipe~ Kobe hit another breakthrough layup. Although the Spurs' defense was timely, No. 24 still managed to hit it, which was very difficult.At this time, Popovich's voice sounded, waiting: "Switch tactics, play Z tactics! At this stage, temporarily suspend the attack on the Lakers' basket!"

The so-called Z tactic is the Zipper.Series tactic, one of the eight basic tactics of the Spurs. It can also be called the "zipper tactical system" in Chinese translation.And a basic core of this tactic is to create opportunities and create space for long-range strikes.So why did Popovich say to temporarily suspend hitting the basket?This is it.

In order to avoid a stalemate at the last moment, while there is still a little time, it is necessary to increase the score as soon as possible and establish a solid score difference advantage.The Lakers' interior defense is currently in such a good state, so flexibility is natural.Having said that, this Spurs team does not have the kind of superstar who can "make the final decision". Duncan used to be, but this season, he is no longer.Compared with his peak, his personal ability is worse than 01:30 points.

At least if there is no high-explosive state, it will be difficult to achieve one-on-one star key single-playing.

Therefore, the tactical ball has undoubtedly become the first choice.

After receiving Popovich's tactical instructions, Tony Parker of the Spurs quickly made a gesture, and then all the Spurs players changed their landing points and positions.Parker stood on the right side, and when he broke through to the position close to the three-point line, he passed it to Manu Ginobili who came out from the inside. Although it is not impossible for Parker to break through Jordan Farmar in front of him. , but he did not choose to do so.

Super high-quality tactical execution is a major team culture of the Spurs, and few players "like to make their own decisions".

When Ginobili received the ball and went to the top arc for a three-pointer, Parker made a sudden start and rushed to the bottom line of the Lakers without the ball from a 45-degree angle on the right.Jordan Farmar is hot on the ball. After all, he is still in his 20s and young. His defensive ability may not be high, but his defensive attitude has always been relatively dedicated, but... soon he was forced to stop pace.

This person was like a car that had just picked up speed, and with a "huh", it was forcibly terminated.

"Attention Parker! I'm blocked! Attention Parker!!!"

As soon as the Lakers were reminded by Jordan Farmar, they immediately saw the "French Sports Car" pass through the baseline on the right and go directly to the baseline on the left.The Lakers players wanted to delay Parker, but at this moment, the Spurs had formed two double screens on the bottom line. They were Duncan and Leonard, so Parker successfully reached the left corner, and no one was guarding. Nobili's top arc pass.

Then, it was actually about to shoot!
Actually chose to end with Parker's main tactic, which is the least good at shooting three-pointers? ? ?Mike D'Antoni was once again taken aback by the head coach of the Spurs.Surprised and unprepared, Popovich really surpassed D'Antoni in terms of the team's on-the-spot response and tactical settings.

A big chunk.

So far, D'Antoni has basically not won once in coaching, and has been firmly suppressed by the "old alcoholic" in San Antonio throughout the whole process.

Yes, Parker only made very few three-pointers in his career, and the highest time period was even in his rookie years, but if you completely ignore his three-pointers, he will also teach you a lesson.For example, this season, Parker's three-point shooting percentage reached a career high, 37%!And in the next 3 years, it will go up all the way, reaching 4%!
However, the base number of shots is too "barren", only averaging 1+ per game, so Parker's three-pointers are basically a move that every team will not care too much about.Compared with the initial period, Popovich's current coaching style has developed a lot. It is no longer a slightly conservative style of play. He has also begun to gradually like to use strange tricks, use ingenuity, and play some risky cards.Therefore, this further illustrates that everyone in this league is changing during the movement, so don't treat them as fools or as unchanging "paper people".

The basketball adjusted for a while before the Frenchman projected it.

The ball drew an arc in the air, then swished around the basket, and fell into the net bag as it wished.

Brush ~ 3 points hit ~
The Lakers Kobe broke through and scored the ball, and the basketball fell into the hands of Gasol on the inside. Gasol shot, and the basketball was interfered by Duncan, so it collapsed out of the basket.The ball landed on the other side completely, and Tang Qian was beyond his reach.

The Spurs protected the rebound, continued to play steadily, and began to operate tactics.

Only the Spurs can sustain such frequent tactical offenses. On the other hand, the overall energy and concentration of ordinary teams cannot be maintained for such a long time.This is also one of the reasons why tactical balls are often no match for star singles at the last moment.The power is very strong, but the consumption is also great.Small coordination is fine, but if it involves big tactics and big coordination balls, if you do a few more rounds, the chances of something going wrong are extremely high.

However, this Spurs team is a bit "special". Their super team chemistry and chemical reaction have made their tactical use almost reach a peak in NBA history.Popovich's carefully selected players and long-term stable tactical core lineup are the reasons why the Spurs can beat the Heat in the original time and space.

At least "tactical tolerance", the Spurs are much stronger than other historical teams.

After all, they can do this, relying on this.

Another "Zipper.Series" tactic, but obviously different from before, this tactic is called "Zipper.Series-Fan" inside the Spurs.The focus is on Duncan's low screen and Diaw's high screen, and then using Parker's breakthrough as an illusion and bait, he threw the basketball in his hand to the bottom corner before breaking through to the free throw line.And the person running over from the bottom corner was Kawhi Leonard who was still standing under the basket just now. Gasol wanted to go out to defend, but the number 21 of the Spurs had expected it a long time ago, and he stood firm. , solidly blocked the Spaniard.

Another empty seat!Leonard took a three-pointer from Tony Parker, but luckily he didn't make it, otherwise it would have dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Lakers!The score difference will be widened again!Tang Qian protected the defensive rebound!Pass the ball to Farmar, and the Lakers attack again.

The offense of the Lakers is still Kobe. It seems that Kobe has no intention of surrendering the ball in this game. He wants to take over the game and take over the remaining few minutes of the Lakers.He still chose a breakthrough layup with a high success rate for this ball, but after entering the penalty area, the Spurs closed too quickly. Duncan stood in front of Kobe one step ahead, raising his hands high, and his movements were clean and not procrastinating.And this game is the home of the Spurs, so there is no need to worry about the lack of "whistle bias".Duncan's role is to use his experience and defensive position to destroy Kobe's original offensive rhythm and slow down Kobe's original offensive speed.Apparently, he succeeded.Because Kobe was hindered, the speed and speed of his offensive actions were slowed down.

Leonard actually caught up with the ball and gave Kobe a big cap on the back of his head with his super wingspan, and the basketball flew out of the baseline.

Kobe looked back at Leonard, but the latter didn't respond at all, as if the ball just now wasn't blocked by him.

Still extremely paralyzed.

The Spurs' defense is not covered, especially for low post protection, which has always been a must in the league.

Of course, the Lakers concentrated too much offense in Kobe's hands, which is also an element.This will make it easier for the opposing team to judge the former's shots and attacks.Kobe is very strong, but he is still alone. It is only natural for such frequent individual singles to be targeted by the opponent team, not to mention that this team is also called the San Antonio Spurs.

Several times Mike D'Antoni couldn't help but want to use Nash. Without Nash, he would not be able to exert much energy in the Lakers.But as soon as he saw Popovich's face, he hesitated again.Obviously, the Spurs are a team with a strong attacking No. 1 position, which is different from the previous Rockets and Mavericks, so changing it is to let a loophole point allow the Spurs to score easily.This hurts people's fighting spirit more than being beaten tactically.

Kobe didn't even have a chance to touch the ball in the frontcourt. Two people from the Spurs were pushing him, so that he couldn't have the space to catch the ball calmly.So the basketball can only be passed to Nick Young in the end. You don’t need to count on Nick Young’s passing awareness. Statistics show that about 2% of the time he gets the ball, there is no possibility of passing it again.

He just can only be used as an endpoint.

Yuan Shikong's career high is only 1.5 assists, for example, his entire career has only exactly 1.0 assists per game.In the future, it may fall below this number and become "Mr. Zero Assists" per game.There is even a famous stalk, that is, Nick Young has only passed the assist data once to the team boss Kobe in the Lakers for 2 seasons! ! !
This probability is simply absolute.

No wonder some people say that the person who really dare not pass the ball to Kobe is Nick Young.

It's not that he doesn't like Kobe, but he is openly "Comi" and has expressed his "Comi attributes" in public many times before he came to the Lakers.It's just his style of play, that's it. In fact, the regular season is not bad. Look at the playoffs. As of 2017, Nick Young averaged 0.3 assists per game in the playoffs.So after Nick Young got the ball, after a few dribbles, he jumped up and made a strong shot.

Ginobili may not be as strong defensively as Danny Green, but he is also experienced. He directly took a small amount of interference without losing his position, as if to say: I will recognize you if you make a strong shot, and you are ruthless.

Bang~ The basketball didn't hit the net, it hit the basket and came out.

"Yang Shaoxia"'s hit rate has never been very high. He is actually very accurate in openings, but...he just likes to pull up and shoot top shots after dribbling.In the original time and space, Kobe let him attack for a period of time after he was injured and stopped, and he immediately "revealed his true colors".The hit rate fell to between 33% and 36%.

But rebounding Tang Qian will not let it go. Even if Duncan is "explosive" at this age, even if he is "The.Zone", he will not be as good as the current "half god" Tang Qian.Unless he's "super god" or something.However, "Super God", do you think it is so easy to enter?After the ability declines, it will be even more difficult to enter the palace of "Super God".

The rebound was picked off by Tang Qian, but the Spurs quickly organized an inside siege, and Tang Qian could only pass the ball out.

In fact, it doesn't work if he doesn't pass. His current physical fitness has reached the end, and the defensive and rebounding ends are not bad.Now playing hard, and the weakening of the "inner demon", is the rhythm of looking for abuse, the inside protection of the Spurs, do you think it is a joke?

The basketball was passed to Gasol, and Gasol made an open mid-range shot, swiped~, and finally fulfilled his mission and scored.

But the Spurs are not upset with this kind of ball, because it is obviously not a conventional style of play, and it is impossible for Gasol to hit and kill consecutively.

In a basketball game, how can there be no point at all?Just pinch the strongest attack and the attack with a high success rate. As for the unconventional attack and dribbling, you have nothing to do.Rather than worrying about this, it is better to concentrate on the next offensive and defensive round.

The game time is getting less and less, and now both the Spurs and the Lakers are hitting the key points, and no one wants to lose easily.

The Spurs want to sweep the Lakers and buy themselves a lot of rest and recovery time before the finals. The Lakers are trying to "save their lives" and work hard to continue playing this round of the series.

Both sides missed several shots, and the Spurs stopped using complex tactical balls, but they became stronger and stronger on the defensive end.The Spurs' defense has gotten stronger and stronger this season!Look at points allowed per game, regular season > playoffs > finals.Layers of defensive upgrades, the more defensive the more fierce!

Fortunately, their core lineup is aging, and they can only use their strength at critical moments.Otherwise, if they were all at the peak of youth, they would not be able to play this ball.At this time, another thing that D'Antoni and the entire Lakers team did not expect appeared.The Spurs actually raised their hand and made a three-pointer. Looking at the speed, none of their teams were in position to complete it.This is completely impossible in the previous style of play of this Spurs team.

And the person who made this unreasonable ball was Manu Ginobili.

He is also the only San Antonio player that Popovich has allowed him to leave the tactical system and choose his shot.

It has been so for so many years.

When it comes to the degree of freedom and freedom of fire, Manu Ginobili is the most popular player in the Spurs.

Compared with last year's injury, Ginobili's state this year has improved a lot, and has also improved a lot. For example, his average shooting percentage in the playoffs last year was less than 4%, and his three-point shooting percentage was even worse. , fell to just over 3%, almost only 2%.This is a huge loss for the Spurs.Don't think that the Spurs have always been so strong with reasonable balls. In fact, many of the Spurs' games are not won with reasonable balls at all.The most obvious one, of course, was the finals in 05. In that kind of meat grinder fight, Duncan, who was still at his peak, only shot 41.9% from the field. Ginobili, an outside player, even used close to 19+ 6+4+1 data, 49.4%+38.7%+85.4% hit rate helped the Spurs defeat the Pistons.Do you want to know how terrifying this hit rate is?The shooting percentage is the highest among the Spurs!The players with more than 1+ three-point shooting percentage, the highest in the two teams!The Spurs have the highest free throw percentage!The Spurs have the most assists!The number of steals is the highest for the Spurs!
As an upper limit, that is, a player who has reached the All-Star, even the All-Star peak has not yet been reached, but he can often enter a high-explosive state.This is undoubtedly a bit "scary".To put it simply, ordinary star players will not be able to enter the "Super God" once in their lifetime, such as Parker, who is a typical example.But this guy can maintain his "super god" continuously and explode continuously.This can be regarded as an exclusive personal talent of Argentina's "Demon Sword".

No one can be envied by others.

Therefore, Popovich's Spurs have actually always had "unreasonable players" and "unreasonable styles of play". His representative figure is No. 20, Manu Ginobili.

Like this ball, it was completely unexpected, and even as a joke, the Spurs themselves did not expect it.

Because Manu Ginobili is such a type of player.

In certain periods of time, he was Kobe's unreasonable style of play, and he was very strong, really very strong.

After all, the defensive care he received is generally not as good as Kobe's, so when he explodes, the power is naturally greater.

Can you imagine Kobe playing as a substitute, and then that kind of injury?Ginobili is a "period-specific version" of Kobe.

This ball also made the AT&T Center Arena of the Spurs suddenly bright.

In the domestic network live broadcast room, after seeing the ball, there was a lot of lamentation, and only a small group of Spurs fans typed 66666 messages.

This means that the barrage has not yet become popular, otherwise it will definitely be swiped.

Of course not 66666666, but all kinds of complaints and curses. As the NBA team with the only Chinese player, the current status of the Lakers is the status of the Yao Ming Rockets back then.Basically become the home team of most people in the country.

Tianchao Sports Station.

"These goals have been scored. The Spurs' performance is a bit unexpected." Su Qun obviously had a little bias towards Tang Qian and the Lakers in her heart, so she couldn't help but lamented. "Ginobili was originally a surprise soldier. He is the type of hidden assassin in the entire Spurs. Ignoring him is the price in front of him. The Lakers paid the corresponding bitter fruit for their underestimation." Yang Yi is a typical self-proclaimed that there is no "home team". They are all people who discuss objectively, so he continued: "Look at the time, it is less than 1 and a half minutes, and the Spurs are still 5 points ahead of the Lakers. This ball may be an omen for this round of the series. .The Lakers may still have a chance, but it's getting smaller."

This storytelling style, that is, the overflowing commentary style, if you are a basketball rookie and a fake fan, it is really more interesting than listening to some professional tactical analysis and opinions.This can be regarded as a performance that has seized the market.

Spurs AT&T Center, Popovich nods, which is why he put Ginobili on the floor.

In the midst of stalemates, the Spurs' No. 20 has been a good icebreaker.

Although Kobe of the Lakers played very well in this game, No. 29 played much stronger than the previous two games, and even once contained the Spurs' internal impact of the ball.However, the twists and turns of the game have passed. As long as they win this game, the Spurs are already on the stage of the finals.

The Lakers called a timeout, not because of any tactical arrangements, or even personnel adjustments. D'Antoni's main purpose was actually to let Kobe and Tang Qian take a breather.It might sound like a waste, but that's all he can do right now.

"Bryant, hot, Paul, please come on, I don't think this is the end yet." Before suddenly playing, Steve Nash, who was sitting on the bench, said, he is the team who is in the worst mood right now. Because of being strongly targeted by the Spurs opponents, he can't play even if he wants to play.Otherwise, just the defensive loopholes would be unceremoniously used by Parker to score in a simpler, easier and more secure way.

In this case, if Nash can't drive the offense and just plays as a spot-up shooter and cash machine on the court, it will be more beneficial to the team off the court.

All three were stunned for a moment. Kobe's expression didn't seem to change, but his voice was obviously much colder: "I see."

Tang Qian didn't speak, but Nash's words were enough to make him have mood swings.

To win!

Don't lose!
