NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

To put it simply, the Spurs' system is to use a core point to contain the opponent's defense, and all the other players can be used as the end point to complete the offense.

Although Duncan is 35 years old, he is still at the end of his peak period, and the Spurs system has also played to the extreme, winning consecutive championships in 03, 05, 07 is a good proof.

Moreover, the Spurs also have a nickname called Health Tactics, which was first proposed by Mr. Popovich, unless it was a last resort.

The Spurs will not play individual heroism, but use the strength of the team to share the pressure of each individual, so that everyone can minimize the risk of injury.

For his team's performance, but Vic was still somewhat satisfied, he also turned his attention to Lin Lei on the court, and said to Kobe in his heart:

"Even if you have more superstars, you may not be able to take advantage of the Spurs' current tactical system!"

Popovich can think this way in his heart, and he is definitely very confident.

In recent years, when the Spurs and the Lakers met in the playoffs, there were winners and losers.

In the 1990s, the two teams met in the playoffs a total of 5 times, the Lakers were 4 wins and 1 losses, and had the absolute upper hand. At that time, it was the era of Magic John News, and the Spurs did not welcome Tim. Duncan.

183 But by the time of the Western Conference semifinals in 1999, the Lakers already had the OK combination of Kobe and O'Neal, but they were still swept by the Spurs.

You must know that O'Neal was at his peak at that time, but under the repeated defenses of Tim Duncan and Crawford, he had no temper at all.

In the second game, the Lakers still had a one-point lead with 18 seconds left, but Kobe passed the ball to Fisher's face, and in the Spurs' last attack, the Lakers even forgot Foul or double-team Duncan.

As the first power forward in history, giving Duncan a chance would be tantamount to suicide.

In the 3rd and 4th games, Bryant was also prevented by the Spurs from making mistakes, and was even cheered by the fans at the Staples Center.

For the current Kobe Bryant, this is simply unimaginable, and it is also something he has been brooding about, so every time he faces the Spurs, Kobe always plays extra hard.

In the next three years, Kobe Bryant grew rapidly, and O'Neal gradually found his own offense, feeling that the cooperation between the two became more and more tacit.

In the first year of the Lakers team, Fisher also performed very well, scoring a career-high 28 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists in the playoffs, two points and 4 points more than Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant.

The Lakers played very efficiently, leading the Lakers to eliminate the Spurs with a 4-0 score.

In 2002, the Spurs' former core core David Robinson did not participate in the first two games because of injuries, but even so, the Lakers and Spurs were still tied 1:1.

With David Robinson's efforts, everyone believed that the nerve core of Mass would be able to bring great defensive pressure to Shaquille O'Neal in the interior.

However, what is unexpected is that the David Robinson, known as the Admiral, has long lived up to his courage and was completely blown up.

In addition, Tony Parker, who was selected in the second round of that year, was still a little immature. After Admiral David Robinson returned, he was limited to his own play space and was eventually eliminated by the Lakers.

In 2003, it was also the fourth year after the Lakers' three consecutive championships ended.

The second team is also a fateful matchup, and they meet again in the Western Conference semifinals.

In the first 4 games, the two teams each won two home games, and the victory was a decisive 5th game with a 2:2 draw. The Lakers were still two points behind at the last moment.

At the critical moment, the ball did not pass to Kobe or O'Neal, but to Horry. As he missed a three-pointer, the Lakers lost to the Spurs by two points.

Then in the 6th game, the Lakers were still unable to stop the Spurs' inside twin towers and finally lost 82:111 and were eliminated by the Spurs 2:4. The road to defending the three consecutive championships also came to an end.

After losing the game, Bryant shed tears even more, and the Spurs made great strides all the way to the finals and won the championship.

In 2004, the Lakers formed a super F4 lineup of O'Neal, Malone, Kobe and Gary Payton. This lineup is too strong.

Coupled with the retirement of David Robinson on (bbfj), the Spurs have only Duncan in the interior, which is naturally difficult to deal with. With the top interior combination of Karl Malone and O'Neal, they lost the game.

However, after F4 entered the finals, it was actually killed by the Pistons of civilians, which also fell apart. In the next few years, it can be said that the Spurs have a great advantage in facing the Lakers.

In the past two years, with the addition of Gasol, the rise of the small shark Bynum, and the Spurs suffered various injuries and other factors, the Spurs lost the playoffs when they faced the Lakers. Contest.

This season, however, the situation has turned upside down.

Through his daily observations, Popovich discovered Diao who is good at passing and defending well.

Coupled with high-quality outsiders like Leonard and Gary Neal, Popovich's tactics can be fully utilized.

It can be said that in the face of the Lakers, the Spurs are also true.

Popovich even has full confidence that even with Lin Lei and Kobe, he can lead the Spurs to the final victory.

But it is not as good as heaven. Popovich never expected that the Lakers would get Dayao, the former top center in the league, without paying any price before the trade deadline.

Regarding this transaction, the old man also expressed his views on various occasions and expressed his dissatisfaction with the matter.

Just like when the Lakers traded to Pau Gasol in a robbery-style deal, it was a robbery-style deal for the old man, and it had a great impact on the Spurs.

In fact, in the past two years, Popovich also suggested to the Spurs management that if there is a chance, he must find a way to trade to Dayao.

Although in everyone's eyes, Dayao has long lost his courage after successive injuries.

But Popovich has full confidence that if Dayao joins his Spurs system, he will be able to exert his greatest talent.

And the Spurs play health basketball, which is also very good for Dayao's injury.

Dayao's height and footsteps can contain the opponent's inside line as much as possible, and open up space for outside players.

Even Tim Duncan can fully release his ability, and it is a perfect fusion with the Spurs system.

However, an All-Star player like Dayao has great commercial value and cannot be traded casually.

Especially for a miser like Alexander at the time, when the owner learned that the Spurs wanted to trade Dayao, he even opened his mouth to ask for Tim Duncan and Tony Parker.

This kind of proposal is not for the transaction at all, and naturally it will be left behind.

Just when everyone thought that Dayao would end his career with the Rockets and leave the court without a championship, who would have thought that the Lakers would get him so easily!

"Dayao, it must be a great loss for you not to join the Spurs, because you will be us who will win the championship this year! 39

Thinking of this, Popovich stood up from the bench and made a gesture to the perimeter player.

The players on the Spurs side immediately understood, opened their formations one after another, and came to double-team Lin Lei and Kobe Bryant very tacitly...

And the inside line is also tightening the formation to prevent Lin Lei and Kobe from completing the breakthrough.
