Chapter 297: Emperor Ou? Which European Emperor?
This time, the elder Nelson nodded after listening.
There is no absolute good or bad tactics, because the results are completely different when used on different opponents.
Against the Spurs, the one-on-one tactics worked, and that was proven in Game 1 of the series.
Johnson is looking at it at a deeper level, and it's quite feasible.
Some people may say, isn't it just a misplaced single? It is to use the team's strongest singles point to hit the weakest point of the opponent's defense, which I know even if I am not a coach!
Yes, but it's not the only way.
Because not everyone can play like that, and it is not a team that can play.
There are at least a few conditions that must be met for a team to be able to play like this.
First, your teammates can create enough space.
This is actually the most overlooked, if your teammates can't even open up space, your misplaced singles may not even be able to play.
Even if you barely fight, it is easy to be caught by many people and finally lose.
Second, your singles point needs to have a certain passing ability.
This is also a point that is easy to ignore, if you don't know how to pass the ball and only know how to go inside, then there is a high probability that it will be destroyed by the bag.
That's why players like Nick Young are invincible on the streets, but rarely have coaches assigned to play singles in the NBA.
Thirdly, the finishing rate after your singles point mismatch should be high enough.
This is easy to understand, whether it is to finish under the basket or to shoot to finish, you have to be sure enough.
Otherwise, you won't be able to put the ball in the basket at the end of the game, and there is no point in singles.
In fact, in the future, after this tactic is upgraded, it will be called a roll call tactic.
The most famous is that James named Curry, and Curry named Love to hit Love.
Then you go and divide it carefully, and you will find that both teams meet the three misplaced singles conditions mentioned above.
James' finishing and passing are excellent, and the Cavaliers are also three-pointers.
Curry's three-point and passing are excellent, and the Warriors are also known for their three-point attempts.
Then, there's the Mavericks.
The Mavericks are also known for their three-point attempts, and several of the players Johnson said echoed the misplaced singles request.
Coupled with the fact that the Spurs' defensive system is afraid of this, it simply doesn't fit too well!
After listening to Johnson, Nelson Sr. stopped training on the field, and then asked Johnson to readjust his tactics for the next game.
Sun Hao was also a little unimpressed when he heard that it was a singles at first.
But after listening to Johnson's speech, he felt that many people, including himself, actually had some misunderstandings about Johnson's abilities.
Johnson's ridicule will really work against the Spurs.
Now think about the year when the Mavericks were blackened, isn't the champion the Spurs!
If the Mavericks want to win the championship, they must be training in the direction of the Spurs just like the current Mavericks.
It's just that they were blacked out by the Warriors in the first round.
Even a little deeper, you'll find more interesting things.
This year, the Mavericks also played the Warriors in the first round, and the style is also very similar to that Warriors.
Even Johnson wanted to replace Dampier at one point and let Nowitzki play at the No. 5 spot to play against the Warriors.
The only difference is that the head coach of the Mavericks was Johnson the year they were blackballed, but this year it was Nelson Sr.
Nelson Sr. rejected Johnson's proposal, and the Mavericks eventually eliminated the Warriors 4-1.
So looking back like this, Johnson is really not that bad, he may just lack experience.
Speaking of those who can become head coaches in the NBA at a young age, which one is not a genius?
It's just that in the world, who is not a hero by success or failure?
After the new tactics were laid out, the Mavericks quickly began to train in a targeted manner.
This training is actually very fast, because Sun Hao and Nowitzki's misplaced singles have been used a lot in the game.
Now it's just a matter of adding Bodiloga and Van Exel.
By the time off-season plus game-day training was over, the Mavericks' overall confidence and morale had returned to what they had been at the start of the series.
That night, Game 3 of the Mavericks-Spurs series kicked off at the ATT Arena in San Antonio.
The scene was packed.
Although the ball market is small and the style of play is not flashy, the Spurs are now a championship-level team after all, and this is all in the Western Finals.
Spurs owner Pete Holt was also present at the arena.
He's an owner whose assets aren't ranked in the NBA, and the Spurs are a big part of his business empire.
So whether he can win another championship and bring him more economic benefits is what he is most concerned about.
Especially now that the Mavericks are in full swing, if they can beat them, it will be a huge stimulus for the city of the planet.
With the cheers of the fans, the third game of the series officially kicked off at the ATT Arena.
Robinson won the Spurs the first offensive opportunity, and Duncan scored a 2+1 in the bag as soon as he came up, igniting the emotions of the fans at the scene.
The Mavericks were right, Duncan's hot form will never be just one game, it will definitely last an entire series.
Duncan added a free throw to score three points in the opening game.
When he retreated to the defensive end, Popovich continued the defensive strategy of the previous game, and began to defend him without waiting for Sun Hao to play alone.
This defensive treatment is absolutely vip-level.
However, Sun Hao gave the ball directly to Bodi Loga.
Bodillo blessed the ball, and Bale immediately gave him a pick-and-roll.
After the disassembly, Bodi Loga's defender became Parker.
This scene is nothing to others watch, but Sun Hao is very familiar when he looks at it.
This is clearly James hitting Curry by name!
Except for Dampier under the basket, everyone else opened up space.
The Spurs want to guard against Sun Hao and Nowitzki, so it is naturally impossible to trap Bodiloga.
Bodi Loga began his show.
Break after shooting feints, the signature whipping of the left and right hand switches.
Because of age and the strength of Ligue 1, Parker was not able to play with Bodiloga when he was in Europe.
In addition, the two are in different positions, and it is impossible for him to match Bodiloga, so this is the first time he has encountered Bodiloga's housekeeping skills head-on.
And then...... He was almost shaken straight over.
The fame of any star is never so easy to defend.
What's more, Parker is only a second-year student now.
Bodiloga reacted quickly, seized the moment when Parker's center of gravity was unstable, took a step to the left and then made a direct mid-range pull-up jump shot.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, Bodi Loga also opened the scoring for the Mavericks.
Duncan played a frontcourt response, and Bowen missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner.
Dampier protected the defensive rebound, and Sun Hao advanced to the frontcourt...... Go ahead and give the ball to Bodi Loga.
Bale continued to block as well, and Bodiloga followed up with Parker.
Popovich immediately realized that the Mavericks were playing the wrong one-on-one game.
Of the five Spurs players, the immature Parker is the weakest link.
That's not to say he's weak defensively, in fact, Parker's defense wasn't bad at all when he was younger.
It's about the misalignment situation, his size, and his experience, which are completely suppressed by Bodiloga.
And on the contrary, there is nothing Popovich can do.
It is impossible for him to reduce the defensive pressure on Sun Hao or Nowitzki because of Bodiloga's misplaced singles.
If Sun Hao or Nowitzki were to open it up in that way, it would definitely be worth the loss.
Now he can only hope that Parker can show the quality of a young team and the Spurs' "101 beats" spirit.
Bodiloga didn't use the whip this time, and went straight to the jumper with his body to go inside, and then turned around en masse.
This move doesn't look special, but the players who have played against Bodiloga, including Sun Hao and Ginobili, know what makes it special.
There is a kind of person on the court called the basketball elf, which means that the ball is very smart.
Ginobili at the peak is that type of player, as is Bodiloga at the top.
They are always able to make the wisest choice after sensing the opposition player's defense.
And it's not the kind of attack that you think about in advance, it's the best offensive choice based on defense.
Parker was stunned and couldn't jump, and could only watch Bodiloga finish in front of him.
"Huh!"
With a crisp sound, Bodi Loga scored a consecutive single to Parker!
Popovich reached out and rubbed his forehead.
Old Nelson always loves to give him problems.
And each of these puzzles is more difficult than the other.
When you think Nelson Sr. is just a coach who can bombard, he has actually won 3 best coaches and has been coaching in the league for more than 20 years.
Otherwise, do you think that the black eight in history can really be done by sprinkling water?
Parker's front court was disrupted by Dampier.
Turning back to Bodiloga playing Parker, Parker was obviously in a hurry, he pounced for a steal, only to be turned clean by Bodiloga.
Before Duncan could get back on guard, he threw the ball into the basket with a close shot.
After playing decent football in the NBA for more than a year, the former European emperor who shined in the Champions League and World Championships finally shined in the NBA.
Popovich's head is big.
Nowitzki can use Duncan to match, and Sun Hao can use a double bag and help defensive rotation.
But that's already the limit of what the Spurs' defense can handle.
It was impossible for him to treat two people at the same time.
He got up and beckoned Parker to his side.
The only thing that can be done now is to prevent this misplaced singles from forming.
In other words, Parker can't be stopped by Bell.
Parker nodded frequently to indicate that he understood.
He's a little more under pressure on his shoulders right now.
Duncan went over and touched his head at this time to soothe him.
On the offensive end, Duncan took the initiative to block him again, and Parker then blocked and scored a goal inside.
It was a goal that restored his confidence a lot.
Duncan is not only the offensive and defensive core of the Spurs, but also the leader of the team.
It was a crucial goal, but looking back, Parker ...... Still haven't dodged the pick-and-roll.
It's not that he doesn't react fast enough, or he doesn't do a good enough job of blocking and pick-and-roll, but the Mavericks are determined to misplace singles.
Bale couldn't block once and pick up the second time, and even Bodi Loga would take the initiative to find someone else to cover.
After another misalignment, Parker's defensive mentality had collapsed a bit, and he went straight to the free throw line to send Bodiloga to the free throw line.
He is encountering the same problem as Curry in the future, how to defend against James!
The Warriors relied on a one-handed defense, but the problem was the Spurs...... There is no defense!
Parker shook his head helplessly.
Popovich also knew that his beloved disciple had reached the limit of his mental capacity.
He didn't wait for Bodilloga to make a free throw, he reached out and called a timeout.
Coming back from the timeout, Popovich replaced Parker with Ginobili.
He really can't spare extra defense to help Parker, so ...... Let's change to Ginobiri, who is taller and taller!
Moreover, Ginobili and Bodi Loga have played against each other many times before, so they are definitely better than Parker in terms of experience.
After returning, Bodillo made free throws, and he hit both free throws, scoring eight straight points in the opening game.
In this game, he can be regarded as letting NBA fans know him again.
His lack of scoring is not due to a lack of offensive ability, but rather his role in the Mavericks' playmaking is greater than scoring.
If you let him take the lead, he'll tell you why he's been able to do so in the Champions League and the World Championships.
Ginobili scored on a serpentine break board as soon as he came up, showing his individual scoring ability.
When he returned to the defensive end, he was misplaced and defended Bodiloga without giving him a chance to start easily.
Ginobili is clearly more experienced on the defensive end than Parker.
However, this is of little use.
You said that Ginobili and Bodi Loga are fighting against each other in Europe, and the two are not facing each other head-on!
Bodiloga is an order of magnitude heavier than him in terms of weight alone.
Bodi Loga chose to dribble directly to the right and singled Ginobili with his back.
His back-to-back punch is not purely power-based like James, it's a combination of technique and strength.
Ginobili could only be pushed in.
When he got to the low post, Bodiologa didn't go any deeper, knowing that Duncan would help defend under the basket.
He went straight to the baseline and then turned to shoot the board.
Ginobili tried to stop him, but Bodiologa gave him a physical confrontation when he turned, and he couldn't jump like Parker before.
"Bang!"
After Bodillo added a light scrubbing, the ball was once again sent to the basket!
The Spurs fans at the scene have gone crazy.
Before tonight, they probably couldn't have imagined that Bodiloga would be able to play like this.
On the sidelines, old Nelson's face couldn't hide the joy.
He couldn't help but reach out and pat Johnson on the shoulder.
Sure enough, the successor he Zhuge Nelson cultivated and valued will not be bad.
At this time, in the European forum, a very interesting scene took place.
"Look, the Emperor has exploded!"
"The Emperor? Which European emperor? Sun? Isn't it a daily outburst when he plays Spurs? ”
"It's not Sun!"
"Who's that? Manu? The Spurs really need someone to step up on the perimeter. ”
"No, it's not Manu either! It's Bodi Loga! ”
"What? Bodiloga has finally broken out?! ”
"Yes, he scored 10 points in a row in the opening game! He dominates the NBA! ”
……
