Super Role Player
Chapter 124: Popovich's response
When it comes to the playoffs, the battle is not just the battle between the players, the battle between the coaches is also very important.
At the beginning of this game, Dillon Corbyn made a surprise move. He put Josh Howard on the starting line and used a sticky defense to kill Boris Dior, because Dillon Corbyn knew that the current Spurs are offensive. The main thing is the small cooperation between the two Frenchmen.
Tony Parker and Boris Diaw's various support, screens and some small cooperation in the high position can always help the Spurs open the situation.
But for this game, Dillon Corbyn sent Josh Howard.
As early as in the Mavericks period, Josh Howard was the Mavericks' perimeter defensive gate. One person took on the Mavericks perimeter defense. In the past two years, although Josh Howard's strength has declined due to injury and age, his defense has not Be regarded as the league's first-class.
Dillon Corbyn just let Josh Howard lock up Boris Dior, who is also declining due to injuries and age. It is still relatively easy.
So, the first attack after the game started, the connection between Tony Parker and Boris Dior was blocked.
The Spurs’ first offense was still very old-fashioned. Tony Parker passed the ball to Boris Dior, who was in the high post, and then cut in. But Boris Dior’s anti-hanging failed. Josh Howard’s interference made Boris. Dior was uncomfortable. He could only pass the ball to Kawhi Leonard, who went from a 45-degree angle to the top of the arc, and reorganized the attack...
Popovich propped up his right hand and touched his chin. This change of the Jazz made him interested. Popovich actually knew that only a small adjustment could solve the current problems on the court. Povic is still going to take another look. Sometimes, if you don't rush to solve a problem after encountering a problem, you may be able to find a better solution and it is easy to find other problems.
On the court, after reorganizing the offense, Tony Parker walked out of the penalty area and made a cross screen with Kawhi Leonard. After hand-to-hand cooperation, Tony Parker got the ball again.
24 seconds offensive time is running out. Tony Parker used Anxi's pick-and-roll to rush to the free throw line and stepped on the free throw line to make a shot and missed it.
Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, who commented on the game, did not notice the changes brought about by the Jazz's changes. They just felt that in the first wave of offense, Josh Howard defended well.
"Josh Howard did a great job defensively against Boris Diaw. Although Tony Parker didn't make a shot, it didn't matter to him, but because of Josh Howard, the Spurs failed to play out."
Then, with the Jazz’s offense, Devin Harris held the ball steadily. The Jazz’s offense was dominated by the inside. Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap were both star insiders who averaged 20 points per game. Devin Harris controlled the ball and waited for the inside duo to get a good position. A lob was passed and passed.
The first wave of the Jazz's offense, Al Jefferson received a pass from Devin Harris after he was in a good position on the inside, facing Tim Duncan with his back, a dexterous turn, a step back shot, and a successful hit!
When the game started, the Jazz scored 2 points first.
The game continued, and Dillon Corbin's adjustments had a good effect. Boris Diaw was locked up by Josh Howard, and the Spurs' offense was not smooth. Of course, the Jazz's situation is not much better. Because of the existence of Anxi and Kawhi Leonard, the Jazz almost lost all of their perimeter offense. So, at the beginning of the game, the Spurs and the Jazz actually had a five-to-five open!
On the field, the Spurs organized another wave of offense. After Tony Parker knew that Boris Dior was locked up, he gave up the idea of small cooperation with Boris Dior and turned to the tactics commonly used before the Spurs.
Tony Parker cut in, Boris Diaw made a screen for him, and then the Spurs moved all the way. In the end, Kawhi Leonard ran out of an open position, caught the ball and shot, and the ball was scored!
"Greg, how about? Don’t you adjust?" Although the previous block and cut tactics commonly used by the Spurs are equally effective, without Boris Dior, the Spurs’ offense is always a lot more difficult. Mike Budenholzer thinks, Bobo Vicki should adjust as soon as possible, expand the advantage as soon as possible, and win the game.
Popovich glanced at Mike Budenholzer: "Mike, from the adjustment of Dillon Corbin, what do you think is the problem with our offense?"
"It's very simple. We still lack the third pivot to transfer the ball. Now, in the starting lineup, whether it is Kawhi, Ann, or Tim, it is difficult for them to be that pivot. Their passing is still not up to the requirements. "
Popovich nodded: "Yes, so, once we encounter this situation, we can only remove one of Kawhi and Ann, replace Manu, and then let Manu and Tony cooperate."
"But in this way, the quality of perimeter defense is sacrificed, isn't it?"
Mike Budenholzer asked immediately, Gregg Popovich smiled, and then sighed: "Yes, once Ann or Kawhi are replaced, the quality of the perimeter defense will decline, playing against the Jazz. The team is okay. Once it meets the Thunder or the Heat, the situation is terrible."
The Jazz's hand made Popovich discover a potential problem with the Spurs. With the current staff structure of the Spurs ~www.ltnovel.com~, it is too difficult to solve this problem.
The Spurs defended the Jazz's offense, grabbed a rebound, and timed out!
Gregg Popovich found the problem, but now he doesn't know how to solve it, so he can only use a backup plan, replace Manu Ginobili, and remove Anxi.
The reason why he withdrew from Anxi is because of the Jazz. Kawhi Leonard has a greater role. Kawhi Leonard's presence can guarantee the Spurs' rebounding. In addition, Leonard's mid-range shot is also incomparable to Anxi.
Anxi was replaced and played for 5 minutes. His performance was good and his state was very good. The tension was gone.
In these 5 minutes, Anxi made Gordon Hayward scoreless. He made one three-pointer and missed one, shooting 50%.
An Xi didn't have any thoughts about being replaced. Anyway, this game is still a long time, and he will always be able to play again later.
The Spurs changed to Manu Ginobili and the effect was immediate. As soon as Manu came on the field, he formed an offensive trio with Tony Parker and Boris Dior. A Josh Howard, no matter how good the defense, can't limit the three people, or Tony The cooperation of Parker and Manu Ginobili is either the cooperation of Boris Dior and Tony Parker. In short, the small cooperation of the Spurs is played out as soon as Manu comes on the court, and the offensive end's ability to find opportunities has also been strengthened a lot.
The Spurs' offense suddenly opened up the situation, and the Jazz couldn't resist the Spurs' full offense. The points difference quickly opened up, and the game quickly lost its suspense.
