basketball purple front

Chapter 897
There are 15.8 seconds left, and the Spurs are really superb in controlling the time, without any problems.

Nothing was wasted.

Now leading by 3 points, the Lakers are still behind by 3 points, and the ways they can play have become much smaller.Because the Spurs can basically ignore the attack within the 2-point line.Only guards against three-pointers.Or just be on the safe side, first serve an upcourt ball, then grab a 2-pointer, and then implement foul tactics, betting that the Spurs will miss the free throw.

The basic tactical play is these two, D'Antoni is also hesitating and hesitating now.

Whether to grab 2 first or bet on a three-pointer.But the best result of a three-pointer is to drag it into overtime, and it is impossible to kill it in one go.What about the 2-point shot?The Spurs must be the most stable and best player at the last moment, and it is conceivable that Duncan will not play.This is not surprising. Although Duncan's free throw percentage does not reach the level of "can be cut", it is not very good, and his career is less than 7%, so at this time, it is the key to put Duncan off the court.After all, the time is only 15.8 seconds, it is really impossible to wait until the offensive round and then replace Duncan.

Basically, anyone can analyze it. D'Antoni has been an NBA head coach for so many years, so he still has this ability.It can't be Parker, because the Frenchman's free throw percentage has never been high, around 7%, and this season's playoffs so far is only about 5%.In this way, he cannot be the first choice.Leonard?His free throw percentage in the regular season is good, but unfortunately he is still young in the playoffs, and his state fluctuates greatly. Last year, it was only 7% and this year it was only 2%, so it is not appropriate to give him.On the whole, Italian Marco Belinelli has the highest free throw percentage on the Spurs. However, this guy has a bad mentality and his playoff status is far worse than in the regular season, so it is not appropriate to give him such an important key free throw.In this way, the most suitable candidate is Manu Ginobili.

Manu Ginobili, big heart, Mr. Key, hard mentality, free throw percentage as high as 8% in the playoffs this season, is the highest free throw percentage of the Spurs except Marco Belinelli.In addition, he is also stable in ball control and has comprehensive skills. It is the most reasonable thing to give him.So after some struggles, Mike D'Antoni still chose to grab a 6-pointer first. This tactical play determines D'Antoni's personality to a certain extent.He always makes some tactical mistakes at critical moments, or you can also say that he is unlucky.However, once or twice is "luck", if there are too many, it is hard to say.

Unlike D'Antoni's small ball style of play leading the times, his key tactical decisions are always a bit "unbelievable".

But it does not mean that this style of play is wrong, grab one in 15.8 seconds, foul immediately, call a timeout, and then serve the frontcourt, there should be at least 7 to 8 seconds.At that time, it is not too late to gamble again.However, some things have not been taken into account, that is, to grab a 2 points, can you really guarantee that you will enter?The Spurs' defense at critical moments, the data shows, has been very strong this season, and it doesn't mean that they are completely defenseless against 3-pointers if they focus on 2-pointers.

If it fails, then there is no way to talk about the following things.

Huge pressure enveloped the Lakers, and Tang Qian could clearly feel that the role players were stunned by the pressure, nodding, more like a mechanical subconscious, rather than really understanding D'Antoni's thoughts.This Lakers team is not the Lakers team from 08-10. The role players of that Lakers team are very "hard-hearted".For example, Fisher's ability is indeed limited, but he dares to invest in stability at critical moments, and Ci Shiping, who is also a master who has no idea what nervousness is.There is no such person in the current Lakers.There are no role players who can top them.

One of them has too little experience in major competitions. Nick Young, Meeks, Wesley Johnson, and Kendall Marshall don’t have much experience in major competitions, and they don’t even have a lot of experience in the playoffs.Only Jordan Farmer has experience in the Western Conference finals, but Farmer is also in the playoffs. The three-pointer is also inaccurate all at once. Just look at the changes in his shooting percentage in the playoffs. Chu.Therefore, throwing them this kind of super key shot that is eliminated if you don't score, or you die if you don't score, is completely walking a tightrope, and it is the same as the kind of people who have no balance pole and no experience.

The outcome is predictable.

Well, let alone them, Tang Qian himself felt that there was a lot of pressure around him. If he hadn't been baptized in the finals many times in the "Different Space", the various elimination battles and life-and-death battles would be weird No wonder, it is estimated that the first time you meet, you will feel a little "difficult to breathe", and it will not be much better than them.

Why do strong teams in the playoffs like to recruit veterans with rich experience in the competition?Even if this veteran is not very useful in the regular season?

This is the reason, the difference between the experienced and the inexperienced is usually not obvious, but in the real stressful moment, Zi Chou Yinmao will be separated at once.So for this ball, the Spurs' primary defensive object is No. 24 Kobe.

As for Tang Qian on the inside line, they all temporarily relaxed their "guards".

After all, Tang Qian can't shoot a three-pointer. At the current stage, the Spurs can afford to miss a two-pointer. Moreover, you have to figure it out, if this is really the case, the big deal is to pull it down with all your strength.Because there is a situation where the ball is in hand and ready to attack, it does not matter "cutting people" or "cutting sharks".The rule limit of the last 2 minutes has no effect on it.This is why O'Neal always "acts as a spectator" more at the last moment of the Lakers.There is no way, you get the ball and prepare to attack, then they can still foul and send you to the free throw line.Tang Qian's free throw crystal brick has indeed reached the peak of nine yuan, but only Chamberlain's free throw fluctuates between 2% and 6%.I can't say how good it is, the most important thing is the playoffs...

Lost, and still leading by one point, if the Lakers don't come up to foul, they will lose, and if they come up to foul, they will also be free throws, so they are still ahead of the game.Therefore, it is not difficult to choose whether to defend the second or the third first.

Sure enough, the Spurs took Duncan in this defensive round,

Matt Bonner, who is more reliable in free throws, was replaced. Anyway, as long as the Lakers dare to give the ball inside, then the price of fouls will cost No. 29. With a shooting percentage in the early 6s, it’s hard to say, but the probability of 2 of 1 free throws is still very high. At that time, the Spurs will go to the free throw line and score 2 free throws. With a 4-point difference, the game will completely lose the suspense of reversal .

So this is why, when the Spurs came up, they focused on marking No. 24.

First, No. 24 will basically take care of the key ball for the Lakers at this time, and second, the Lakers have no other better choice right now.After the timeout ended, the two sides re-entered the court. For this time, it is estimated that Lakers fans around the world are in exactly the same mood.It seems that 15.8 seconds is very long.

In the live broadcast room of Tianchao Sports Station in China, Yu Jia and Yang Yi also felt nervous and said:

"The remaining 15.8 seconds are really important, and will determine whether the Lakers are eligible to continue the series."

"Indeed." Yang Yi also stared at the rebroadcast screen and said, "This ball is very important, it depends on how D'Antoni will arrange to play. If you score 2 points, you will foul quickly, and then grab the points. If you score 3 points, it is a bet Served, oh, depending on the situation, it needs 2 points. Gasol served from the sideline of the front court, looking for someone, looking for someone, looking for Kobe. In the end, he could only give Meeks the vacancy. Meeks can make a shot, this is an opportunity, huh? Meeks, Meeks didn’t make a shot at the first time? Why? He hesitated, At this time, the Spurs' defense has been rotated again! The opportunity is gone! Meeks was a little anxious, he almost lost the ball, the basketball was given to Steve Nash on the side, and there are 7.9 seconds left. Nash did not Immediately he was in a hurry to handle the ball, he chose to go to the top arc to stabilize it, and seemed to be looking for the most suitable passing space." He said without pausing: "It's a pity that Meeks hesitated just now, the Lakers have already passed. There's no time for two-pointers anymore, now they're only betting on threes."

Yang Yi was right, and because of this, the Spurs' defense became more targeted.

The inside line is basically completely let go. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you get 2 points. The game is over when the time is running out.This ball made D'Antoni on the sidelines almost burst into blood, because of such a sudden "change", the arrangement he just said during the timeout has all become useless "nonsense" .Now, instead, he can only bet three points and go betting.If the bet is not right, it is a loss. If the bet is right, it is only a tie. The situation of the Lakers is quite passive.

But this is the real reality of the game. There are many things that cannot be controlled by the plan. D'Antoni's response to unexpected situations is obviously not as subtle and sophisticated as Popovich of the Spurs.This is the absolute gap in coaching ability.

The remaining 7.9 seconds will determine the final success or failure of the Lakers this season. If it is unsuccessful, then...

The Spurs were almost fully defending, and there were 2 people on Kobe's side who were closely entangled, and their movements were very large. In normal situations or during the regular season, it must be a foul.But at this juncture, the referee will never give a whistle easily.

The time for players to make decisions and players to influence the game has come.

It's not easy to say at this time, "Pengci Emperor" Harden is here, and that doesn't work.

In a word, unless there is a particularly serious intentional foul, there will be no whistle.

All the fans shouted loudly for defense, and at the same time there were some unpleasant words that followed. At the Spurs' home court, as the visiting team, you should be treated this way as a matter of course.It's really hard for ordinary people to resist the shout like a tsunami.But Nash was not moved by it. He just watched the halftime quietly, as if he was not in a hurry at all, and he didn't realize that the time was about to run out.

He was on the ball just like he always was, with his eyes sharp and his eyes on the court.

"Steve, don't waste your energy, we won't let you succeed." Parker said "trash talk" while defending: "Admit defeat, this is your destiny, the Western Conference Finals is your highest goal." stage." Nash looked at halftime, and did not rush to refute Parker, because the former was right about something, the Spurs had already figured out the final play of the Lakers, and now the Lakers had no time to play 2-pointers Now, the means and scope of the attack are more limited and easier to guess.

This kind of discourse with undeniable power of reality is the easiest to disturb people's hearts.

Parker has played in the league for so many years, and he is no longer the stunned young man. Nash has the MVP, but Parker also has the FMVP.And it is estimated that many people don't know that as of the 2013-2014 season, in the last 30 years of the NBA, the two championships were the team's scoring leader, and there were only 2 people.They are Jordan, Olajuwon, O'Neal, Duncan, Kobe, James and Tony Parker.So in fact, Parker has been underestimated in many places, just like his defense.This is also a big problem playing under Popovich in San Antonio. The league's presence is not strong, including Duncan, who is also in the top ten in history. His presence is almost at the bottom.

Time passed minute by minute, and the time left for the Lakers was running out. Many reporters even turned on their tablet computers, preparing to write a rough first draft of the Spurs vs. Heat.

Countless Lakers fans also closed their eyes in despair.

The Spurs were too targeted for this ball, and they basically expected all aspects of the Lakers' intention to attack.

Duncan was sitting off the court, he looked at No. 29 on the court and said in his heart:
You are really strong, and you played perfectly after this round of the series, but unfortunately, your future has not yet come.

At least this season, and the future, belongs to the San Antonio Spurs.

and so……

Just as he was thinking about it, a scene on the field suddenly interrupted Duncan's thoughts, because the No. 10 on the field was so lucky that he suddenly rose from the ground. 40-year-old Steve Nash, this ball, did not pass the ball, but... shot himself.

That's right, with 3.2 seconds left in the game, Steve Nash, himself outside the top arc three-point line, pulled up and shot.

The ball was very sudden, but Parker's reaction was still very fast, and he rushed over almost half a second later.

"Steve Nash made a shot? Nash came by himself? Will he go in? Will he help the Lakers tie the score?" Yu Jia said loudly in the live broadcast room of Tianchao Sports Station. The voice of all Lakers fans.

Yes, will you go in?Can it work?

"Oh~ no, it's not good, Parker's save is too timely, the ball may be directly blocked."

"This ball shows that Nash is old. In his peak moment, his speed and speed, including the height of the jump, are much better than they are now. The Lakers, it's bad luck."

Yang Yi held a pessimistic attitude, because any fool could see that the interference with Nash was too great, and it was almost impossible not to be disturbed.It is true that his overall ability has dropped too much compared to that year.But just when there was a gleam of joy in Parker's heart, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, as if he saw a little smile on that No. 10 in Los Angeles.

How could he still laugh at this moment?Are you dazzled?
But soon, someone helped him to confirm "this glance".

"I'm old, but... I can still move."

"I'm not too old yet."

Parker didn't block the ball on the basketball, but blocked it on Steve Nash's small arm, because Nash's ball was slightly receding at the moment of release.It was this slight recline that just opened up a line of distance from Parker, and then saw No. 10 of the Lakers, and continued to shoot.

There was no French figure in Nash's eyes. He seemed to have penetrated Tony Parker. With a flick of his arm and a bend of his wrist, the orange basketball shot out of the air.

At that moment, Nash seemed to have grown his long hair, and his shots were steady and decisive.

Do you think Nash is Paul?In fact, when Nash led the team at his peak, his offensive power has always been extremely strong.

Not to mention clubs with a super high shooting percentage of 30+ per game in the series. Just in the last four, five or six games against the Mavericks in the 05 playoffs, do you know what Nash's total shooting percentage is? 60.3%! ! !40.3 points in three games! ! !
What concept do you understand? ? ?At his peak, Nash's defense was indeed inferior to Kidd and Paul, but he also had his own strengths.That's the score.Nash's scoring ability has been proven many times in the playoffs.

It's not that he can't play the No. 1 position who can't play high-explosive scoring.

Therefore, Nash's scoring has always been a greatly underestimated aspect.

He is also a hidden master of the league.

As soon as the ball was shot, Nash actually knew it went in. There was no reason, it was just a feeling and confidence.

This ball will never run.

Absolutely not biased.

brush~
On Parker's panicked face, the Spurs Net behind him was impaled by the basketball.

The basketball scratched the white waves set off by the Nets, making San Antonio's home court suddenly quiet.

Not to mention, at the same time, Nash fell to the ground, and the whistle that the referee sounded afterwards was the real blow to Parker.

There was no blood on his face.

At this moment, he heard someone on the ground talking to him:

"Hey, young man, I'm sorry, you were killed by my old bones."
