On May 29, in an ordinary villa in San Antonio, Popovich was sitting alone in his study, carefully watching the live broadcast of basketball on TV, and now the game has reached the final fourth quarter finale, the difference between the two teams is beyond many people's pre-game expectations, the suspense of the game is not big, yes, this is the fourth game between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers, the live broadcast of the Western Conference Finals. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This year, the San Antonio Spurs lost to these two Los Angeles teams, once in the regular season competition, once in the playoffs, the San Antonio Spurs have been swept out by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round, the players started their summer vacation, as the head coach Popovich is not so leisurely, he has to start arranging the team's next things, especially on the player reserves.

He hated Bilfitch, in the regular season, he calculated the San Antonio Spurs, but when he was swept by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round of the playoffs, he didn't hate Bilfitch, Bilfitch exposed all the shortcomings of the San Antonio Spurs, so he made Popovich angry, but now he finds that even without the Los Angeles Clippers, the San Antonio Spurs will be difficult to reach the finals after meeting the Los Angeles Lakers, and now the team has a lot of problems, especially the aging of the players, It's got to the point where it had to be solved, and this season's game has been a wake-up call for Popovich to understand that if you want to make a difference, switching between the old and the new is an important problem that cannot be avoided by a team.

All the games in this round of the Los Angeles derby, Popovich not only watched the live broadcast, but also videotaped, he needs to know more about his opponent, when the first game of the two teams into a stalemate, Popovich has a feeling of fear, deeply realize that these two teams are really the league, now the strongest team, their strength, above all teams, especially the Los Angeles Clippers, their player structure and age, have a lot of potential, so that Popovich can't help it, There is the idea of poaching Los Angeles Clippers players, especially Ginobili, the foreign guard who was supposed to come to San Antonio, was robbed from him by the Los Angeles Clippers, and the better Ginobili played, the more Popovich cared.

Popovich also gave birth to the idea of cutting off the Los Angeles Clippers once, but he really didn't know that the Los Angeles Clippers' draft goals this year, according to the Los Angeles Clippers' lineup, they are not short of people in all positions, except for Wang Zhizhi this year, other players have either completed the contract renewal with the team, or the contract has not expired, the two most curtain-minded, Tiger Washington and Jason Green, are the least likely to leave, with these two players as the cornerstone, the Los Angeles Clippers will be worry-free for at least 5 years, Coupled with the renewal of the contract of Ginobili and other players, the future of the West is really not easy to mix!

Just as Popovich was thinking about it, the Los Angeles Clippers shocked him again, what is this? 'Shark slashing tactics'? The Los Angeles Clippers took advantage of the weakness of Shak O'Neal's free throw difference to quickly break the deadlock, seeing this, Popovich's heart was shaken, the omnipotent shark, the one who was wanton under the basket when playing against the San Antonio Spurs, Shak O'Neal, the league's No. 1 center, known as the most inexplicable player in NBA history, is now broken, and the break is so simple, Popovich began to think in his mind, if you add shark slashing tactics, how many possibilities are there for the San Antonio Spurs, Able to beat the Los Angeles Lakers.

In fact, Popovich didn't know that in the previous life, the person who applied this shark cutting tactic to Shak O'Neal was him, it was Popovich who brought this shark cutting tactic to the extreme, and finally forced the league to change the rules, Shak O'Neal was not the only center in his pit, and later DeAndre Jordan was the most ruthless person who was pitted by him, of course, in this life, Popovich is impossible to know, and Bill Fitch is also a black pot for others.

The first game, the second game, the two games almost seemed to be copied, there was no accident, the Los Angeles Clippers took it all, Bill Fitch also became a head coach in the league in private, all coaches are afraid of, playing against him, the most feared thing is not losing, but by him to find the team's weaknesses, and be infinitely magnified, and finally exposed to everyone, the Los Angeles Lakers estimate that at the beginning of next season, all teams will use shark slashing tactics, and Shaq O'Neal will be depressed in the future, There will be more and more, and this is what everyone fears most about Bilfitch.

In the third game, as soon as it opened, Popovich found out that something was wrong, the tall lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers was actually not very special, although he used the advantage in numbers to trap Shaq O'Neal under the basket, but the laissez-faire on the outside line was too big, of course, this is not the most critical, the Los Angeles Clippers already have the key and strength to sweep the promotion, as long as it remains the same, the Los Angeles Lakers have no way to crack it, Bill Fitch can't not know, so what is the key reason for the change of the Los Angeles Clippers?

At this time, Popovich, like many people watching the game, began to guess in his heart the reason for Bilfec's sudden change of formation. After the start of the second quarter of the game, the Los Angeles Clippers' popular small man lineup appeared on the court, Popovich frowned, this small lineup, in the face of Shak O'Neal, it was completely meaningless, but soon Popovich knew that he was wrong, defensively, the Los Angeles Clippers may not be able to limit Shak O'Neal, but offensively, this lineup is not afraid of Shak O'Neal, Tiger Washington and Ginobili, constantly taking advantage of the advantages of the small players, Playing Shaq O'Neal under the basket made people see a new style of play and possibilities.

Seeing this, Popovich began to think about whether such a tactic could be completed by the players of the San Antonio Spurs, and soon Popovich shook his head and denied this idea, the San Antonio Spurs guard line is aging very seriously, and the experience may be enough, but the flexibility is definitely not good, it seems that when the draft is this year, it is necessary to put more effort on the guard, Popovich fell into thinking again.

When he came back to his senses, he found that the two teams had drawn for the first time in this game, and then he really realized that the possibility of this small lineup was very high, and it was not as simple as it seemed, maybe Bilfic thought of some way to restrain the Los Angeles Lakers? Want to use it in this game? At this moment, many basketball workers like Popovich sitting in front of the TV guessed so. (To be continued.) )
