Center first

Chapter 214
110:89, if not for the Miami people who replaced all the main players in the last few minutes, the score gap may be even bigger, but for Spoelstra, as long as he gets his own victory That's enough.

The Spurs also chose to give up. Popovich replaced all the main players. At the end of the game with 4 minutes left, the two teams chose to let the game go to garbage time at the same time. It is helpless.

Popovich looked at the players who kept their heads down in front of him. He couldn't blame these guys, because they were not crushed to death by their opponents like soft persimmons, but they really fought hard, but The ending still hasn't changed, they still lose.

All because of that yellow-skinned kid, it was his sudden outburst that broke the tactical balance that Popovich had been maintaining. If it weren't for his outburst, Popovich was confident that he would use a war of attrition to eat his opponent, but now He can only accept the result of failure.

Maybe even Popovich can't figure out why, why every time the Spurs are very unlucky to catch up with a certain person's volcanic eruption, this is not the first time, Popovich also knows, this must be Not the last time.

This is the most fatal shortcoming of the Spurs' well-regulated tactical system. They pay too much attention to the team. They are not without star players, but they try to minimize their dependence on star players. They rely more on collective strength. .

But such a team will behave peacefully, and they will use their stable performance to grind any opponent to death, but they often lack a countermeasure when facing a sudden outbreak of a person or a team, or they Will often be defeated by an unconventional tactic or style of play.

This is the flaw of Popovich's tactics. He puts too much emphasis on the whole. He can kill many teams with a stable tactical system, but he will also fall into a stalemate because the tactical system is too rigid. Once someone breaks the balance he maintains, Then the Spurs would be in trouble.

Moreover, Lin Yi would choose the most difficult point to explode, which Popovich did not expect.It's really hard for anyone to think that Lin would charge directly against Duncan in such a short period of time. Even a big guy like O'Neal would try his best to choose the weak link of the Spurs to attack.

But Lin Yi rushed like this for 10 minutes, almost using his shoulders to give the Miamis a victory. It can be said that this little guy even played a bit recklessly. Completely obliterated.

However, it was such reckless actions that caused the greatest damage. Facing the three Spurs of San Antonio, Lin Yi led Bunche Wells to slash and slash like two thick-backed machetes.With the most unreasonable rampage style of play, he won the game.

This depends not only on skills and Lin Yi's whimsical tactics, but also on this kid's indomitable courage and a lot of physical strength. Not every insider has the courage to beat the stone man like this, but Lin Yi did it. He defeated the opponent's pincer tactics with his own strength.

He put himself at the forefront of Miami's offensive line like a shield. At the moment of launching the attack, this shield will turn into an invincible heavy spear, and the tip of the spear violently pierces the Spurs' restricted area. , with a fatal blow.

Defeating the Spurs head-on and suppressing Duncan single-handedly, Lin Yi used his performance to completely shut up the critics who had been complaining that the Miami could not win the game.Now unless someone wants to show others what an idiot he is, no one dares to ignore this little first-year guy.

Oh, no, it's the big guy, because this guy is far taller than many people.

Maybe before the game, no one would think that the Spurs coached by Popovich would lose with a full staff. The guys who have such thoughts may only be those fanatical supporters in Miami, and even the local media in Miami are very concerned about this game. The game is pessimistic.

However, the yellow-skinned kid defended the honor of the American Airlines Arena with a magical game. When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the entire arena was filled with a voice, that is, more than 2 fans gathered together Calling Lin Yi's name.

Those who have never experienced such a scene will never be able to experience how enjoyable it is to have 2 people shouting in unison in a space filled with insects. At this moment, those fanatical Miami people shouted as if they were worshiping their future king With Lin Yi.

Lin Yi stood up from the bench and bowed to the surroundings of the arena to express his gratitude. He was greeted with a tsunami of applause.

At the other end of the field, only the slightly lonely back of the Spurs was left. Even Popovich didn't notice that his tie was a little crooked. Such a crazy game, such a crazy yellow-skinned kid, made Iron Shuai lost his light.

At the press conference after the game, almost everyone focused on Lin Yi, including the interviews with the two head coaches. Everyone was concerned about what the two head coaches thought of Lin Yi’s performance. kind of view.

"There's nothing else to say, because that kid has already performed on the court so that I have nothing to say, if I have to say, it can only be summed up as perfect, other than that, I can't find any adjectives that can be very good Express what I want to say."

Spoelstra is not only excited about winning the Spurs at home, he can say that the gamble in this game completely made Popovich who was sitting next to him lose his due rhythm, and he A reasonable rotation also made Popovich's continuous substitutions lose their effect.

This is not just the victory of Lin vs. Duncan, but also the victory of the Filipino kid against the NBA's first-generation iron coach. Spoelstra is very young, and he is very daring to gamble.In addition to his own good luck, it also depends on the blessing of that kid Lin Yi.

In addition to being lucky to have such a player that he can use with confidence, this kid often bothers Spoelstra because of tactical problems, which makes Filipinos have to watch hours of video data every day, It seems that Lin Yi is not the only one who has benefited.

Of course, Spoelstra also paid for his precious sleep time and faced his wife's often sad eyes.But now it seems that the result is not bad, and his ability to win this victory with an uneven lineup is enough to show that he is not a puppet.

Maybe now Pat Riley has begun to consider whether to add a contract year to this Filipino, a steadily rising performance, a very young coach, a team that works well together, and now it seems that maintaining it is a pretty good idea.

Maybe Spoelstra's compliments to his players can't meet the requirements of those reporters. The microphones of all the media are aimed at the belated Popovich at the same time. What kind of evaluation would Tie Shuai say?

"Mr. Gregg Popovich, what do you think of this game? Is the Spurs' failure accidental?" a reporter asked.

"It's not accidental, because the opponent played much better than us, and we have nothing to say about our loss." Popovich's first answer has already shown his attitude. He never looks for such a failure. An excuse, losing is losing, Tie Shuai admits defeat, but will not bow his head.

"Then Duncan was in a completely passive position in the confrontation with Lin Yi. Does this mean that a well-known time conclusion in the NBA has begun to work again? Almost every inside player will start to show a significant improvement after he is 33 years old. decline." Another reporter asked.

"I don't know what the conclusion you are talking about is, and I don't want to know. Tim is still outstanding, but you can't ask him to do very well every night. The ups and downs of his state cannot be controlled by humans, but I still want to say that Linyi has brought us a lot of pressure."

Popovich will never doubt the status of the most important player in his hands. Although Duncan is beginning to age, even Duncan, who has begun to decline from the peak, is still the soul of the Spurs. When Parker and Ginobili are absent , He saved the Spurs.

"Lin Yi is a very good player. Perhaps it is a very correct choice to list him as one of the most dominant players in the league in the future. Don't forget that he is only a first-year player. As his head coach is undoubtedly The happiest, because in addition to his good technical skills, he is also very intelligent."

"A player with a brain is the most powerful, like Tim, like Shaquille, like Yao. He is just a rookie, and I think his potential has not been tapped. At maturity, that's going to be a very formidable opponent."

Popovich did not deny Lin Yi's ability. He clearly knew that this kid would definitely become a pillar player in the league in the future. Inside domination.

After a pause, Popovich continued.

"This night does not belong to me. He belongs to the Miami Heat. I wish them a good result. I hope that the next time we meet, I will be the one who wins." After saying these words, Popovich was very gentlemanly. He and the media waved their hands and left the venue.

He is not a winner, so let the winner enjoy being watched. What Popovich thinks is that he will use more brutal defense to kill the yellow-skinned kid when they meet next time. Failure is not terrible. The terrible thing is not knowing how to fail.

Popovich has put Lin Yi on his blacklist. From today, Lin Yi will become one of his main research subjects until he wins back.

This is a night for those crazy Miami people, for that yellow kid.
