Chapter 144 Inheritance (3)

"The Spurs are actually playing the triangle offense?" After three consecutive rounds of offense, Scottie Pippen finally knew why he was so familiar with the Spurs' running positions. As a player who has played under the triangle offense system for almost ten years , The running position in this tactic has already been deeply branded in his mind, so in just three rounds, Scottie Pippen saw through the Spurs' attempt.It's just that Mike Dunwilli on the sidelines is still a little dizzy at this time, but the only thing Dengweili knows now is that his tactical arrangements before the game are completely useless.

When Rasheed Wallace pinched Duncan as he did last time, Duncan passed the basketball out of his hand again. This time Sean Elliott hit the open 3-pointer again, although the Spurs and In the next few games of the Lakers series, the Spurs' outside touch was so good that it exploded, but Mike Dunville didn't think that this heaven-defying touch could continue forever, so the Blazers basically didn't respond to the Spurs' 3-pointers in this game. Sexual arrangement, but when double-teaming Duncan, Sean Elliott and Avery Johnson had to be emptied, and Sean Elliott also used practical actions to make Mike Dunville pay the price for ignoring himself.The Spurs' three opening offenses were all ended by Sean Elliott's open shots, and Sean Elliott made 3 of 3 3-pointers and scored all 2 points after the Spurs' opening.In the Spurs' triangle offense, Sean Elliott and Robert Hawley had the same tactical tasks that the Lakers admitted, but unlike the Spurs' staring at Robert Hawley, the Blazers actually emptied Sean Elliott in the game. Liot.

The Spurs scored 3 points through Sean Elliott's two 6-point shots. After leading the Trail Blazers 6-2 in the opening game, Mike Dunville quickly called a timeout. Once the outside line is opened, it will be a disastrous consequence for the defense. Now Mike Dunville is in a dilemma. If he does not double-team Duncan, then with Duncan's strength, he will definitely beat the Blazers inside. To spit, but the consequence of double-teaming Duncan is to short Sean Elliott, and now everyone has seen the consequences of shorting Sean Elliott, although Sean Elliott is 32 years old, Ben He also underwent major surgery this season, but this is also a player with a strong 3-point ability.

"Mike, the Spurs are now playing a triangle offense." Scottie Pippen couldn't help but reminded him when he saw Mike Dunville's somewhat flustered tactics to defend the Spurs from 3 points.

"Triangle offense?" The words from Scottie Pippen's mouth also scared Mike Dunville, but soon Mike Dunville shook his head and denied Pippen's opinion. The triangle offense is so easy copied?The answer is definitely no, because Mike Dunville also thought about using this tactic in the Blazers first, but failed.This tactic requires not only a Jordan, but also a Pippen to exert its due power. Even the Lakers this season have not been able to truly exert the power of the triangle offense, and it is not just the players. The requirements of the coach are also very high. Phil Jackson has Tex Winter and Jim Clemens next to him. These two assistant coaches have a deep research on the triangle offense. Popovich and his assistant coach Have you ever studied the triangle offense?Mike Dunville is unknown, but Popovich’s understanding of the triangle offense is definitely not as thorough as that of the founder of the triangle offense, Tex Winter. Even they can’t completely copy the Bulls’ tactics to the Lakers. Spurs?
So Mike Dunville would not believe it even if he was killed. With the current staffing of the Spurs, they can play a triangle offense.Duncan is very strong, but there is still a certain gap between him and Jordan O'Neal. As for the Spurs' Pippen, who is it?Is that the rookie kid?Not to mention Pippen in his peak period, even the current Pippen, that kid can't compare to him. In the 4 regular season games this season, that rookie kid is about to be blown out by Pippen. If the Spurs can Play the triangle offense, then your own Blazers can create a dynasty.

"Scotty, you worry too much." Although he scoffed at Scottie Pippen's words in his heart, Pippen is also the leader of this Trail Blazers anyway, so he still has to give the face that should be given, so Mike Dunville still follows To execute his previous deployment, Duncan still had to double-team, and Sean Elliott also had to defend, so Mike Dunville instructed Scottie Pippen and Steve Smith, once Rasheed Wallace went Double-team Duncan, then the one of the two closest to Sean Elliott will go to defend Sean Elliott.

After seeing Mike Dunville's deployment, Scottie Pippen also shook his head. Although he is the leader of the Trail Blazers, since he was traded by the Rockets, he may have really accepted his fate. Pippen's competitive spirit seems to have disappeared suddenly. Yes, the idea of ​​winning a championship without Michael has completely disappeared this season.

After the game restarted, after the Blazers passed the ball continuously, Rasheed Wallace singled Sean Elliott and moved the score to 4 to 6.

It was the Spurs' turn to attack, maybe they were out of spirit, or maybe they spent too much energy on the offensive end. Meng Xu could clearly feel that Scottie Pippen's defense against him was worse than in previous rounds Quite a lot.

Duncan held the ball again to single Arvidas Sabonis. Rasheed Wallace double-teamed Duncan as usual. Peng, gave up following Meng Xu, and followed Sean Elliott to the bottom corner.

Meng Xu, who was already unguarded at the moment, continued to move laterally to a 45-degree angle on the left side of the three-point line and stopped. At the moment Duncan scored the ball, Damon Stoudemire ran over to defend Meng Xu. It's just that Stoudemire's height is too low. The actual height of the 1-meter flying mouse just surpassed Meng Xu's shoulders. Although his defensive awareness is very good, facing the 75-meter-tall Meng Xu, only to be raped.

A standard Larry Bird-style shot, before Meng Xu's arm was released from the air, the thrown basketball fell into the basket with a beautiful arc.

"Beautiful 3 points. Stoudemire is too short. There is no way to face Meng's shot. If Scottie is defending Meng, there may be some ways." Looking at Meng Xu, there is no way. No matter how he jumped, Damon Stoudemire couldn't reach Meng Xu's elbow. Michaels kept shaking his head and said excitedly at the same time.

"Well, yes." Although he agreed with Michaels' statement, the magician didn't think so in his heart. Not to mention Pippen, he and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had nothing to do with this kind of shot against Larry Bird. The only way is that the arrogant magician will never admit the fact that he can't guard against Larry Bird.Larry Bird's physical fitness is not good, so when he shoots, the take-off height is not high, and the arc of the shot is not very high, and the speed of the shot is also very slow. It seems that this kind of shooting has a big flaw. But Magic Johnson just believes that this kind of shot is the most difficult to defend.

Because the height of the shot is not as high as possible, and the arc of basketball is not as high as possible. In order to always maintain their own feel, almost all players will take an intermediate value when shooting, and Bird, whether it is taking off The height of the shot, or the arc of the shot, in the eyes of the magician, is the best choice for a player over 2 meters tall, and the slow shot range means more time to adjust, and Larry Bird and Meng Xu's shooting still has a certain degree of receding. Not to mention Pippen, even a big center like Arvidas Sabonis may not be able to block their shots.

"Greg, this is a very good sign." Mike Budenholzer is now very superstitious about Meng Xu's so-called first ball rule. , Mike Budenholzer was even more excited than Meng Xu.

"Well, maybe we can win this away game." Popovich nodded as he looked at the bitter-faced Mike Dunville on the opposite side. The Blazers were caught off guard, and it also proved that the Spurs can often use this tactic in future games.

When the first quarter ended and the players of the two teams went off the court, the entire Moda Center lost the noise at the beginning of the game, and there was silence everywhere. After the first quarter, the Spurs took a 37-22 lead The Blazers scored as many as 15 points, and the Spurs made 3 of 10 6-pointers in the first quarter. Mike Dunville called two timeouts but couldn't disrupt the Spurs' feel.And 37 points in a single quarter is also the game with the most points scored by the Spurs in the first quarter of this year's playoffs. After digging such a big hole in the first quarter, the Blazers are likely to be defeated.
