Chapter 453: Sorry (5/7)
The game was as difficult as Chen Mo expected, the Spurs have been in a state of continuous rotation of the main team this season, and the San Antonio Spurs, who have maintained a stable core lineup since the early 20th century, have a level of tacit understanding that other teams cannot match. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info And they found a great role in the small forward position - Leonard.
You must know that the main reason why everyone thought that the Spurs were weak was that the GDP was old, and they were never able to find a stable and excellent point in the small forward position. Since Uncle Bao retired, when Duncan often appeared in the center position, the weaknesses of their flanks would always be caught and blown up.
And now, after the rookie with the giant palm and poker face joined, this weakness has not been made up.
In the draft, the San Antonio people paid George Hill for a draft pick from the Pacers and selected Leonard.
Leonard's poker face looks like he's coming to carry on the Spurs' mantle, even though Po Povich lost his temper after the draft and said George Hill was a good player, which wasn't an expected trade. But after a few months, the old man changed his mind. Leonard is the player they want.
Soon the game started, the old man was standing on the sidelines, and this game was very important for them. Whether the logging tactics will work will be the key to whether they can break out of the West this season.
Because according to the current regular season rankings, the Spurs and Lakers are basically ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively, and they must first pinch a wave in the second round, and the winner will meet the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.
It is unlikely that the Thunder will overtake from fourth place, so the situation in the west should be relatively stable now. The Warriors will definitely have to go through the Warriors to break out of the West, so this game is very crucial for Po Povich. The Lakers' routine Po Povic has been studied more thoroughly, after all, the current head coach of the Lakers, Mike Brown, is a person from the Spurs system, and the old man knows him very well.
And the Lakers are not fast now, the Lakers rely on the support of the high point on the inside and the power of the two superstars on the outside. Defensively, it was mainly relied on Artest and Gerard Wallace's double ghost shots. The Spurs are not afraid of these things, and the only thing that the Spurs are not sure about now is the Warriors with unlimited three-point lethality. Once the Warriors are allowed to shoot from the outside, even if the aliens come, they will have to be broken.
"San Antonio takes this game very seriously!" Kenny Smith said: "The Spurs, who have been on an almost infinite rotation this season, are playing as much as they can and it looks like they're going to have a good game with the Oaklanders here. ”
"The Warriors' three-point shot is the biggest headache for the Spurs." "Three-pointers are supposed to be lethal, but the most volatile form of offense," Barkley said. But the Warriors have an outlier like Jack Chen, and the Spurs will have a hard time doing it. Tim (Duncan) is getting older, and it's hard for him to defend the whole game. ”
"Let's watch the ball first! The Spurs' defensive system has changed this game, and they have expanded a lot. ”
"Yes! Jack Chan hit two mid-range shots as soon as he came up, and there was a lot of pressure from outside the three-point line. ”
As onlookers, Barkley and Smith saw it very thoroughly. The Spurs put a lot of pressure on the Warriors from beyond the three-point line, and they contracted quickly, and they guarded the Warriors' inward cuts. And try to push Millsap and Kirilenko to the two corners and let them shoot. At the same time, let Chen Mo shoot as much as possible between the three-point line and the free throw line.
Spurs have been playing very well from the start, and Po Povich's team has always had this characteristic, and their players never mess around. So this team won't have strong individual heroes like Kobe Bryant and James, and all the people here have to run according to the system.
Tony Parker's small throw was hit again, and the Frenchman's alleged grenade throw had scored six points in a row today.
Chen Mo expected before the game that the Spurs would not give them too many three-point opportunities, so he decided to put the winning chips in the middle distance during the pre-game preparation. Hell, Millsap's mid-range shots from two zero-degree angles were all off the line today, and the San Antonio man had a great hand.
"We can't fight like this anymore." Chen Mo shouted on the field. At this time, the scoreboard on the sidelines showed a score of 10-6, and according to NBA practice, the visitors were in front of the home team behind, and the Warriors started the game behind.
This is a very rare situation in a game where the Warriors are going all out.
Chen Mo came back and threw in a three-pointer on the offensive end, and Chen Mo scored 7 of the Warriors' first 9 points in the opening game.
It was a long-range three-pointer, but the old man's roar still came from the sidelines.
"Don't let him get out of the damn three-point line!"
Parker gritted his teeth and said to Chen Mo: "Don't shoot from such a distance like a soft egg, your appearance always reminds me of Yakult." ”
Chen Mo turned around and responded, "Next, I will drink you like Yakult in one gulp." ”
Then Duncan's hook was finally deflected by Kirilenko's interference, and the Warriors immediately countered with the ball. Chen Mo quickly dribbled to the front court and then faked a real pass, and Curry took the ball and fired directly.
"Huh!" The ball goes in again! The Warriors hit two three-pointers in a row, and Po Povich called a timeout in a frustration.
"Don't clip Jack Chan outside the three-point line, I don't want to see Stephen open from outside the three-point line anymore." Po-Povich yelled.
The old man's hairdryer-like scolding worked, and he then re-emphasized the defense of one side of the team in detail, and then the game resumed.
The team's ability to be among the league's top powerhouses except for the season when they got Duncan in '97 is their biggest discipline.
After adjustment, the Spurs played more delicately, and Chen Mo found that the team played more uncomfortable.
They can't shoot three-pointers, they can't cut in and they can't get in, which is a very headache.
Po Povich's view of the Warriors is somewhat different from the league's general belief, and he doesn't think that winning the Warriors is enough to strangle Chen Mo. The Warriors' system is also very threatening, or Chen Mo's own system is very strong. Not only do they have to disrupt Chen Mo's three-point rhythm, but they also have to completely destroy the Warriors' system.
Chen Mo felt that they still had less research on the Spurs before the game, and Leonard's defense on the front line completely made up for the weakness in the Spurs' defensive system. This is different from the previous game where Chen Mo retired from playing Ford, Leonard's progress is too great.
The Warriors, who had been completely broken, failed to rebuild the system, and their mid-range shots from two zeros were so bad that they trailed by as many as 14 points with three minutes left in the final quarter.
Chen Mo still wanted to fight, but the spurs began to completely let go of logging.
In the end, the Warriors lost 92-83 at home to the Spurs, who limited them to just 83 points. Chen Mokong chipped in 37 points and 10 assists, and they failed to beat the Spurs in the game.
After the game, Chen Mo looked a little lost, Eleanor and the fat boy left first, Emma was still waiting for him outside the Oracle Arena, Chen Mo saw Emma, and whispered: "I'm sorry! Didn't get you to enjoy a good game. ”
