Center first

Chapter 208
Popovich sat quietly on the sidelines, but his eyes never left the yellow-skinned figure who was provoking his players in his penalty area. Povich sensed a little red flag.

As for how great the danger will be, is it the short-term rebound of this kid because he has been suppressed more severely, or he has been hiding in the corner looking for his team's flaws, which makes Popovich a little uncertain. But this sudden outburst made Popovich uncomfortable.

You must know that the Spurs are often murdered by such explosive guys. This is not the case from Xiaoyu to Madimo. Now Popovich is almost nervous about explosive players.

However, the sensitivity he had cultivated in the league for many years made him feel a dangerous signal, and Popovich decisively chose to pause. He didn't care if it was the convulsive eruption of the yellow-skinned kid or something else, he would interrupt. Under the opponent's offensive rhythm.

Don't play when the opponent is angry. This is Popovich's most common method. A long timeout can calm down his players, and it can also temporarily stop the opponent's crazy nerves. Make corresponding arrangements for Lin Yi's pick-and-roll coordination when attacking just now.

"Tim, follow that kid. I don't want him to have no one to interfere with his mid-range shots. I don't want that to happen again." Popovich pointed to Duncan and said, It is necessary to reduce the success rate of that yellow-skinned boy as much as possible.

Now Duncan may be the only one who can put pressure on him in one-on-one defense, so now Popovich has to let his ace move with the opponent's footsteps. As for the space at the basket, he has other arrangements, not to mention Only Lin Yi's high point in Miami is a threat to the basket.

"Bonner, you have to make sure you protect the rebound in the penalty area when Tim goes out, and block that guy who is number 40. His shooting skills are terrible, so I don't want you to lose points on him, as long as Don't let him get to the rebound to make the second attack, don't let him get the shot, I need you to block the position."

An important factor why Popovich let Duncan choose to follow up is because Haslem's talent in shooting really reassures him. Maybe he can't get in.

"Manu, you and Tony have to break through as much as possible and compress their defense inward, so that we can have enough space on the outside to shoot three-pointers. In addition, I hope you can pay attention to the speed of that kid's defense. , It’s not the first time he’s defended like that just now.”

Ginobili nodded. He still had lingering fears about the block just now. The moment the tall figure flashed from behind Haslem put him under considerable pressure, and even made him There is less calmness and more hesitation.

Moreover, that guy's long arms and wide palms can cover too much defensive area. I have tried my best to dodge in the air just now. If it were someone else, Ginobili would have the confidence to avoid the opponent's blocking action. , but when facing that yellow-skinned kid, Ginobili felt powerless.

"Coach, that old guy defended me very tightly. I think we can make some flexibility, otherwise it will be difficult for me to pass the ball to others comfortably." The restless harassing defense, he pointed to the scar on his wrist and said to Popovich helplessly.

"Tim has mentioned the high position now, and you can also rely on the pick-and-roll cooperation to get rid of the guy who is following the defense. That Raja is indeed a dirty defender, but I think you should be able to use his movements wisely. Do something."

"Bruce, you don't seem to have a good way to deal with that Bunch today. Maybe you can try to stick to him, but instead of pushing him outward, let him come closer. When his movement space is small, even if he has strength , but the threat that his height can bring is not too great."

What Popovich needs to solve now is the problem of Bunch Wells intruding on their inside line. The guy with the big ass now faces Bruce Bowen's defense without any sense of fear. Instead, he does it time and time again. Relying on his own advantages in strength to eat Bowen alone.

Faced with such an unreasonable style of play, even Bruce Bowen, who is known as a defensive expert, has no good solution. You can't ask old Bowen to stretch dozens of pounds of muscle in ten minutes, but in the footsteps On the one hand, Bowen is a little faster than Bunche Wells.

This gave Popovich a chance to lay out the pocket. He wanted to let Bunche Wells get inside by himself, but the space left for him there would be a cage-like trap. When entering the cage, no matter how fierce he is, it will not help.

The Spurs here are trying their best to estimate every detail, and in the Heat's rest area over there, Spoelstra is still talking to this kid about Lin Yi's unauthorized change of field tactics.

"Boss, I just see that if we continue to fight like this, our disadvantages will become bigger and bigger. You also told me to make corresponding adjustments according to the opponent's situation. The relationship between me and Old Bell was just an attempt. I hope they The inside line can be pulled out, it's that simple."

Lin Yi spread his hands and explained to Spoelstra.

"Boy, I'm not telling you to change your style of play, but why didn't you make such a change earlier! Damn, this caused us to be suppressed on the court for almost half a quarter." Spoelster La felt suffocated by being completely behind for these few minutes, and now he wished he could kill that damned Popovich with a stick.

"Uh, coach, this should be your responsibility..." Lin Yi looked at the little Filipino who was waving his fist at the Spurs dugout in front of him speechlessly.

"Damn, I have to have a good way. Can I let them cut off your connection with the outside line all the time?! You are the only ones under my team who can play now. Twelve of them can play and run. There are only eight people around!" Spoelstra was angry at the thought of Popovich's shameless expendable play, but he seemed to forget that he tortured others like this a few months ago.

Sometimes the news of the present world comes so quickly, within a few months, the feng shui has already taken turns.

"I think later that old guy will definitely make corresponding arrangements for your offensive methods just now. Don't think that you can do it again after you fight once. I guess that damn stone man will definitely follow you, he won't Let you have a comfortable shooting space." Spoelstra and Lin Yi said.

"What I'm afraid of is that he won't come out." The smile on the corner of Lin Yi's mouth, in Spoelstra's view, obviously contained a taste of conspiracy. This cunning little guy would never do some boring things. Minutes of silence may be looking for something.

"Speak out your thoughts and listen." Spoelstra grinned at Lin, and he was really speechless as a head coach.

"If he doesn't come out, there will always be people inside, and my way of catching the ball will always be cut off, so it's better to let that stone man come out with me to get some fresh air. I want to have a one-on-one contest with him." When Lin Yi said this, his expression was very relaxed.

One on one?and Duncan?Spoelstra now understands what Lin Yi is thinking. This kid has been holding back his energy and fighting Duncan at the basket since the first quarter. What kind of pressure is caused by the inside line.

At this time, he had already made up his mind to beat Duncan. Since he couldn't catch the ball inside, let Duncan come out with him. As long as the situation on the court turned into a one-on-one duel, then the opponent's overall defense The arrangement is disturbed.

The key to victory or defeat is now focused on whether Popovich will let Duncan follow him. If he follows him to defend Lin Yi, it will turn the game into a duel between two people. Spoelstra understands what this means What, if you want to become a top insider, such a duel can never be avoided.

"Boy, are you sure you can beat that guy?" Spoelstra asked, looking into Lin Yi's eyes.

"Now it seems that apart from this method, there is no good idea for us to win this game. Don't forget that this is our home court. I am not used to losing, and I don't think the big guy can win me for sure. Give me some trust, and I will return you a miracle."

Lin Yi patted Spoelstra's shoulder with his broad palm, and the smile on his face made Spoelstra feel that this kid is becoming more and more invisible now, and this kid He also began to be more and more active when facing top insiders.

If at the beginning of the season, when Lin was playing against O'Neal, Duncan, and Yao, he was passively defending. Now he is preparing to turn this defense into an offense. For these mountains standing in front of him, he wants one by one. of defeat.

"Give China a chance. Give the world a miracle. I remember this sentence seems to be the slogan of your country's Olympic Games. Now I will give you such a single-handed chance. I hope you can give it to the more than 2 fans here." Miracle, don't let me watch your jokes, kid."

"Boss, I will let you see the result you want, I promise." Lin Yi looked at the rest area of ​​the Spurs while talking to Spoelstra.

There is his opponent there, a peak he needs to cross, I hope that stubborn Popovich will not let himself down, a one-on-one competition needs an opportunity, Lin Yi hopes that the attack just now can let that old guy Make the changes he most expects.

One-on-one, a duel between centers.

Tim Duncan, may God bless you, Lin Yi prayed silently in his heart.

I'm here to beat you today!
