Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 79 It’s just a pity that no matter how perfect the execution of the offensive tactics is, it’s of no use if you can’t shoot in!
"After the Mavericks opened up the situation on offense, they continued to double-check Duncan on defense, and even Walker, who was on the right side of the basket, pounced on him to help defend and sweep at any time.

Duncan is not used to them, and he dares to score the ball if he dares to attack from a double attack.

Bowen got the ball in the bottom corner, but instead of shooting a three-pointer, he chose to feint and break through with the ball. Then, if he wanted to shoot a two-pointer, would it be possible..."

Bang-dang——!
Still no hits.

There are no three-pointers or two-pointers that are more theoretically more efficient. Hong Kong is really, this is the real Bowen.

He really doesn't know how to attack.

As a result, Duncan's offensive system was also locked.

Like James, Duncan also needs shooters around him, which is suitable for the "one star, four shots" model.

After all, Duncan is all-around, and his offensive ceiling is not enough to kill the game. He needs scorers to support him.

Off the court, Nelson smiled.

Finally, finally his defensive tactics paid off.

Anyway, the Mavericks' defense is stretched and they focus on five defenses and three defenses. Even if they can't target the "GDP" combination, their offensive efficiency can still be reduced.

As for the offense of Bowen and Nesterovich, they did not regard their offense as alive at all.

Looking back, Nowitzki, who was leading the arc, was finally caught by Bowen's forward defense. Ginobili further suppressed Qin Yang's triple-threat style of dealing.

The breakthrough was limited by the press, and there was no space to pass the ball to Nowitzki. In the end, he had no choice. Tan Yang could only distribute the basketball to the right three-point corner, which was the Spurs' defensive blind spot.

However, Walker's three-point shot was a fine shot.

Bang-dang——!
“The Mavericks’ offense couldn’t get it going either.

If you shoot from the outside and stay away from the basket, you cannot escape the truth that Lu Xun said..."

The farther away from the basket, the lower the shooting percentage.

Especially for a player like Walker who loves three-point shooting, the effect is even more obvious.

The Spurs attacked, and Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt. He did not continue to favor Duncan alone, but distributed the ball to Ginobili on the right, with Tan Yang watching the defense.

On the court, after receiving a pass from Parker, he glanced at Tan Yang, raised the ball with his right hand, and was about to prepare for a three-point shot.

Tan Yang immediately rushed forward to put pressure on the shot. However, just as he rushed in front of Ginobili, he saw Ginobili collect the ball and dribble the ball through from the right side.

Bang-!
Tan Yang was not polite, sliding sideways, using his body and arms at the same time, blocking Ginobili's face and engaging in physical confrontation.

At this time, Ginobili had not yet reached the full level of his serpentine breakthrough. The league still had HC rules, and Walker also came to help defend. He broke through and jumped out again.

"Ginobili still picked the wrong opponent.

The reason why Tan Yang can be the starter is that in addition to his ability to pass and shoot, his defensive ability is also a factor to consider.

Ginobili's physical confrontation is still too weak. Although he won the competition from Stephen Jackson and got the chance to start, he has not yet grown into a stand-alone scorer. "Kenny Smith commented.

Tan Yang suddenly stopped and dribbled the ball to the outside. Ginobili did not continue to attack, but gave the basketball back to Parker. He had an advantage against Nash.

At this time, the Spurs' offensive situation is unfavorable, and they can just eat Nash's dessert to boost the Spurs' morale.

However, when Parker stepped down and dribbled through, and was about to pass Nash, Finley rushed to the zone defense and wiped Nash's ass.

"Parker's breakthrough was also blocked!
Parker immediately lobbed the ball to the basket, Duncan hit Nowitzki, and then was flanked again.

Finley went crazy and focused on defense. His defensive range was huge!

Duncan didn't make a strong move and passed the ball to Bowen in the corner. Then he didn't play. The basketball returned to Parker's hands and he immediately broke through with the ball.

Oops, Duncan unknowingly moved to the high post and set up a pick-and-roll for Parker.

Parker passed Nash and made a two-point pull-up jumper at the buzzer. Will there be..."

It has to be said that the Spurs' offense is very patient.

Ginobili couldn't break through, and he couldn't pass the ball to Parker to break through. He turned around and returned to Parker's hands to continue to break through. Duncan even mentioned the high post as a screen.

Viewed separately, a series of attacks are just ordinary offensive methods. Taken together, the continuous attacks are not something the Mavericks can defend. This is the terrifying part of the Spurs' tactical execution ability.

It's just a pity that no matter how perfect the execution of the offensive tactics is, it's useless if the shot can't go in.

Bang-dang——!
Parker's pull-up jump shot was also sent.

In the Western Conference Finals last season, Parker could score 25 or 29 points on Nash, and he could also output 7 or 0 points in subsequent games.

When he's in good shape, he's a superstar; when he's not, he's just a loser. This season, Parker's condition has also declined. He was supposed to improve, but his mid-range shooting percentage dropped from 47% to 44%. Although it is only 3%, his condition is still ups and downs.

The Spurs' offensive tactics were executed perfectly, but they failed to score the points they wanted.

Off the court, Povich's face was calm. Even though the Spurs won the championship last season, Parker and Ginobili were still rookies.

At this time, he still missed Wu Sheng Jackson to some extent.

With Jackson's strong attacking ability on the outside attracting most of the defense, Duncan the killer on the inside, and Bowen the ultimate 3D player in the corner, Parker will be very comfortable on the offensive end.

The situation that Poole will face in the future when he switches from the Warriors to the Wizards cannot be said to be exactly the same, it can only be said to be very similar.

On the commentary table, Barkley saw this scene and lamented the Spurs' team's excellent execution of tactics. At the same time, he also pointed out the problems that the Spurs had.

"Po Povich still takes it for granted that the task of attacking the perimeter is handed over to Parker and Ginobili.

Letting go of Stephen Jackson, an offensive and defensive perimeter general, was a serious mistake by the Spurs management.

It is even more inexplicable that he failed to trade for the madman Sprewell, but chose to strengthen Hidutkoglu who had not proven himself. "

Kenny Smith took over.

“That’s the difficulty with small city teams!

In the competition for the transfer market, even if they win the championship, they are not very competitive and can only dig internally.

Or, recruit veterans who want to win a championship. "

You know, Warriors Jackson averaged 18 points per game this season, and Madman Sprewell averaged 17 points per game. Their scoring data seems to be at the All-Star level, but they have both offense and defense. In addition to providing Duncan with outsiders, In addition to his offensive ability, Duncan can free up his offensive firepower without increasing the defensive pressure on him, but the meaning is different.

Now the Spurs' perimeter offense has shortcomings. The Mavericks can attack Duncan unscrupulously, but they can't attack from the outside. The Spurs' offense is a bit misfired.

On the court, the Spurs players looked calm and paralyzed, and suddenly the outside players pressed hard against the Mavericks' offensive advance.

"coming!
The Spurs' regular job is to immediately increase their defensive intensity when their offense is unfavorable in order to drag the Mavericks' offense to their level, and then defeat the Mavericks with experience and hard power.

This is the Spurs' game rhythm. The Mavericks can't pick up the speed at all and can't play the run-and-gun tactics they are good at.

Next, continue to see if the Mavericks can withstand the test of positional warfare..."

On the court, Nash couldn't break through Parker's crab-step defense. The HC rules not only limited Ginobili's breakthrough ability, but also severely restricted Nash's. When Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt, Nowitzki immediately When it comes to catching the basketball in the high post, Nash switches to playing without the ball.

Like the Suns in the future, it will be difficult to have the basketball in their hands all the time.

The question is, are there multiple attack launch points?
If Nash can solve all problems by himself, there will naturally be no need for multiple attack launch points.

In the top arc position, Nowitzki held the ball and faced the basket to attack, but Bowen was wrapped around him like candy, and his shooting attack was interfered with.

Although Duncan did not follow up, he mentioned the waist position in the penalty area. If Nowitzki breaks through, Duncan's flanking attack will quickly pounce on him, and breaking through does not seem to be a good option.

On the right, Tan Yang was also closely entangled by Ginobili. Fortunately, he finally received a pass from Nowitzki.

After receiving the ball, Tan Yang swung right and left and immediately dribbled the ball forward. He didn't play with skills and acted like a reckless person like James.

Bang-!
Ginobili's close defense was staggered by the collision, and Tan Yang had the upper hand in the physical confrontation.
However, Ginobili is tenacious, showing the Spurs' iron-blooded attributes and closely following in Tan Yang's footsteps.

At this time, Qin Yang had just reached the edge of the paint area, and Duncan's sweeping help defense had already rushed over. Just when Ginobili and Duncan were about to complete the attack on Qin Yang inside and outside, Qin Yang, who was pulling the ball for a layup, looked towards On the right side, the basketball is assigned to the unmanned area on the left.

Soon after, he followed Nowitzki and got the ball from Tan Yang. He immediately pulled the ball up and let out a loud shout in the paint area, which was a high-arc pick-up basket...

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

Seeing the connection between Nowitzki and Tan Yang again, the Mavericks' offensive firepower continued.

"It's Tan Yang again, his pass completely activated the Mavericks' offense."

Buckley marveled. "Who would have thought that Ginobili's defense would be blown away by a rookie named Tan Yang. This was a situation that no one could predict before the game started.

Of course, offensive insiders like Nowitzki who are capable of mid-range shots and breakthroughs are also the type that the Spurs' "guiding" defense is most afraid of.

Now with Qin Yang's amazing performance and Nowitzki finding his shooting form again, although the Spurs' defense is very strong, it cannot completely freeze the Mavericks' offense.

In the positional battle, the Mavericks withstood the test. "

10 to 8! !
Off the court, Nelson could not be said to be satisfied with his "experiment" in arranging Tan Yang to start the game, but he could only say that he was very satisfied.

However, the game ended like this, only leading the Spurs by 2 points. This was not the situation he wanted.

If you don't sweep away the three-point offense, how can you clear the Spurs' stumbling block?
