Chapter 1327: Collapse from Duncan
The Lakers were caught up this time, which is actually a bit surprising, after all, this kind of lineup looks so weird. But, Larry. Brown sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai. Why? Because that's where the Spurs start to gamble, and as a head coach sometimes you do have to do that, to make surprise moves, to close the gap in strength, the gap in scores, but this ...... No worries. Why? Even if this one is okay, what about the next few games? So do you think the Spurs dare to play like this every game? First of all, the stability of the role players is not enough, and even if it is Larry in the next game. Brown didn't make any changes, and it was estimated that they would have to stop cooking. Besides, it's okay for a while, but after a long time, can star players really endure it? Joke! Now is an era of big data, there are data emperors everywhere, you don't have data, no matter how big the sacrifice is, no one agrees.
After all, watching football is very energy-intensive.
Larry. Brown comforted everyone and said bluntly that we didn't play the hole cards, what are we afraid of? Besides, the Spurs have nothing to fear, they dragged on to the end, and we still won. They're just dying. No one listened to the second half of the story, but there were people in front of him. Yes, our hole cards haven't been played yet, and we haven't been at full power just now.
And a draw is not a reversal, but a restart, it's okay, it's okay.
With that out of the way, Larry. Brown only took out the tactical board and drew a few simple strokes, then looked at Tang Qian and said, "Hot, go on in advance, no problem, right?" Tang Qian nodded, his physical fitness has actually made a breakthrough in the last game of the regular season, so let's play a little more, there is not much pressure at all. All right. "Larry. Brown said: "Don't be in a hurry, take your time, we don't need to bother to crack this tactic at all." They fought if they wanted to. Let's just keep our eyes on the core. Bite the game, and the fourth quarter is the collapse moment for the San Antonios. Just do as I say and keep going. Don't think about anything else. ”
Seeing the Lakers coming up, there was no change at all, and the defense was still focused on the core of the Spurs, everyone was puzzled, and some fans who were more anxious even shouted directly on the Internet: Larry. Brown inaction! However, this made Popovich's side frown slightly. Because he knows the personality of this teacher, stubborn and tough, so, whether he is impulsive, or he has not found a way, or he is too lazy to find it, or he is not the same to respond to all changes. In this alone, he reacted better than when he encountered the Heat's strain.
At that time, he chose to defend Qian Moss, who felt hot and warmed up, but this step turned out to be wrong. Because it was his own command, the pressure on James's side was liberated. Then the previously suppressed No. 6 of the Heat finally woke up. That's it, but in fact, the impact has on the entire subsequent series. If James sleepwalks again in that game, just like in 2011, then the devil knows how he's going to play in the future. James is not without this thing. It's a pity that there are no ifs.
Of course, it's not just a matter of coaching strength, it's also a bit of a personality issue. Brown is more stubborn and tough in personality than Popovich. Therefore, the former will not change at all, that is, it is a hard recruitment. Just like in '04. It's hard for Popovich to turn a blind eye. However, there are also pros and cons, such as '05, Larry. Brown was defeated. Popovich won, and in competitive sports, in the end, everything speaks for itself.
Winning is king.
If you lose, you are the weaker one.
The Lakers really just haven't changed, and although the Spurs are still playing the kind of "weird tricks" just now, it is obvious that the shooting percentage and stability have declined. The defensive mentality of the Lakers' own side has gradually stabilized and calmed down from the anxious confusion just now. The scores of the two teams are staggered, but the Spurs look like they are going to hang a lot, why? Isn't it true that most of the Spurs' scoring comes from role players rather than core players? What's the difference, the difference in mentality. Fans look like impressions, and insiders look like ...... Stability.
How does it not look mysterious to compare role players and star players to stability?
So obviously not a few points ahead, the Lakers seem to be pressing the Spurs on the court, which is a feeling that is difficult to explain. You have to watch the ball, you have to spend electricity. But Popovich didn't dare to change his style of play easily, firstly, this style of play is still effective, at least the best way to play tonight. Easy to replace, who knows if it will be prevented? It's not easy to pull it back that way. Therefore, he can only be stiff, and Popovich himself is also a bit difficult to ride a tiger.
Larry. Brown just watched the game time, and when the fourth quarter reached the last 7~8 minutes, he suddenly let No. 29 start his personal attack. It's not the kind of stop-and-go kind that plays a lot, it's the kind that has a lot of balls, a lot of singles, and a lot of concentrated play. But what about Duncan? Duncan just defended No. 29 quite successfully, and the Lakers No. 29 was a bit of a bit of a mouse.
That......
Tang Qian didn't think much about it, he attacked with the ball, and with a tentative step, he directly entered, overtaking Duncan by half a position, and then immediately scored a strong goal. Well? It seems, it seems a little ...... Tang Qian thought of something, but he was not sure yet, he glanced at the Lakers coach's bench area, Larry. Brown only nodded at him. The meaning is clear, don't be ambiguous, go ahead.
Keep playing!
Tang Qian nodded.
The Spurs missed this wave of offense, Dio missed the shot, and the Lakers protected the defensive rebound, and then steadily advanced. Rondo stood firm in the front court, and then gave it to Tang Qian, Tang Qian took the ball and played, directly passed the Spurs' No. 21 in one big stride, and then, pulled it up was a one-handed dunk!
Bang dang ~ hit ~ score ~ It's just, no matter how you look at it, it's a little too easy, right?
After Tang Qian scored, he still glanced at the Spurs' No. 21 with some confusion, because even if Duncan was aging, his experience and spatial perception under the basket should not be gone so soon. No, it just shouldn't be without! Tang Qian can be sure of this. Otherwise, what is the feeling of being "bound" in front of me? So yes......
Tang Qianqian's eyes flickered on the defensive end, and he suddenly thought: Duncan, tired.
What do you mean? It's literal. The Spurs' 19-year Dinghaishen needle is tired.
However, Popovich is very protective of him, and because of the addition of Aldridge in this year's playoffs, he did not let Duncan's playoff minutes be too high. The average is 20 minutes for the first round. This is already quite a few, at most a relatively important level of substitution. Why this is arranged, Popovich himself knows.
Here's why......
Duncan is indeed old, and the rate of decline this year can be called a cliff. This can already be seen from the regular season, but Duncan is also in the habit of pretending to be dead in the regular season, so everyone still has expectations for him. I think that maybe in the playoffs, it's time for the old man to wipe his hair and then come back to life. Last year, there was almost 18+11+3+1+1 data. No matter how you look at it, it's a strong all-star interior level. But this year, it's really not going to work.
All the data are declining like crazy, what is pretending to be dead? This year really doesn't exist.
After the age of 35, it is basically a landslide a year, and when the age of 40 arrives, the landslide is even more serious. Tim, who just turned 40 days ago. Duncan, the biggest decline in his life. This decline is multifaceted. He couldn't stop it. Physical fitness is the first thing to bear. Duncan's fitness decline has been particularly severe this year, and after more than 20 minutes tonight, it is clear that he has some "legs and feet that don't listen to the call".
Then, he finally had the expression of shock and even horror on his face when Garnett was easily passed by others.
As if to say: how could I be so easily passed? How could I not keep up?
Duncan's inner emotions are better hidden than Garnett's, but the exhaustion of the body cannot be concealed. He's really tired right now.
The human body is really a very magical machine, and last year I could still fight for an average of 36 minutes per game in the playoffs, slashing 18+11+3+1+1 data. This year, just one year later, 365 days, it will be uncomfortable for 20 minutes. Outbreak, transformation, you think he doesn't want it? I really didn't want to, but now, I really can't do it.
He's old.
As soon as the 40-year-old Kan arrived, the so-called No. 21 rookie also lost the care of the old man.
Unable to break out, unable to return to the sky.
One can only watch the opponent wreak havoc on his head, and watch the young man go wild on his head.
In 13 years, he could still slash 30 points to take over the game in the finals, in 14 years he could still suddenly break out, and last year he could stand up and tell everyone, I want to break out, or your old man. Or an all-star level. What about this year...... Tired, tired, tired, nothing but tired.
Duncan himself wanted to explode, but it just couldn't break out, and the buttons that could be easily pressed now had turned into severely corroded rust. I can't press it, I can't press it down.
Tang Qian completed another attack on his head, this time it was even simpler, and when he came in, it was a one-handed dunk! Duncan tried to block it, but his legs and feet didn't listen.
Tang Qian turned his back this time, he wanted to make a foul, but his legs and feet did not obey the call, and the movement of a second was not in place, but it became his own blocking foul, and the opponent had to add a penalty if he scored. 2+1。 Seeing the Lakers' No. 29 score at the free throw line in San Antonio, he could only wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Tired, tired.
I want to erupt! I want to save the team as always! However, I looked inside my gas tank...... It seems that this time, there really isn't any oil left.
The fuel tank, bottomed out, was empty.
In fact, there are some cruel things that maybe Spurs fans, or even Popovich himself, don't think so now. That is, in fact, the so-called Spurs are declining, and the Spurs are old and the like, there is only one point...... It's Duncan, old. He is the node of this operation center, and the rest are the branches and leaves that grow up on him. If he can't do it, the spirit of this team will be gone, and at least some time will be given to recover.
For this matter, I'm afraid Popovich didn't expect it.
thought that by simply replacing the internal and external cores, the new and old teams could be replaced, and then the Spurs would be stronger for another twenty years. In fact, this idea is a bit too idealistic. In reality, sometimes it's just to play the ideal ear scraper.
"Tyrant ~ Hot ~~~~~~~" When I heard the inside of the Staples Center, Bill. While McDonald was shouting Donald's name, Duncan was still just wiping his sweat. He felt a sense of limit, and his legs and feet were about to be a little untenable. Originally, this season was Duncan's precipitous decline season, and now he is still facing monsters like the Lakers' No. 29.
This kind of monster that even if he is at his peak, he has to go all out, so it accelerates Duncan's consumption.
He tried to break out, but it didn't work.
That No. 29 was still in his head, and he had nothing to do but look up and watch the goal. Even to protect the rebound, he is a little weak right now.
Because I'm tired, I'm so tired.
Popovich also saw this, but he couldn't support and replace Aldridge, so it would only make the Spurs completely lose the final chance of winning. and even the hope of winning. In the end, Duncan can't take care of offense now, and Aldridge must keep it for offense. Defensively, he can't help it.
The Lakers are just going to fight with you for the superstar, and after learning the Thunder's set, what can you do?
From beginning to end, the other party never wavered, and kept doing this, and moreover, he specifically hit Duncan!!
Duncan turned into a defensive black hole??? I'm afraid no one would have thought of this. In the end, it's Tim. Duncan, the man who has won more than a dozen defenses so far in his career. The career defensive contribution value is only lower than that of the great god Beal. Russell's man. A man who was a fixator in the Spurs' playoff game until last year. Such a man, you say that he will be targeted, and he will be blown up as a black hole by his opponent? If you say it before this game, no one will believe it. But that's just the way it is.
No matter how strong it is, it was 18 years ago, and now Duncan, who is in the 19th year of his career, has finally reached the time when he can't hold back. The Spurs' Dinghai Shenshen Needle, tonight, began to be really defeated.
After the Lakers found that Duncan was no longer a threat on the 29th, the more they played, the more relaxed they became, and the more they played, the more comfortable they became.
After Tang Qian turned his back again, directly shook off Duncan, and dunked successfully. And so the game came to an end. Who would have thought that the Spurs, who had been biting with the Lakers in front, suddenly collapsed in the middle of the fourth quarter. Or, collapsed on their 21st? This, who wants to get???
But the fact is that Tang Qian scored 15 points in a row this period, directly leading the Lakers to defeat the Spurs in a wave and winning the first game of the series. Tang Qian scored 27 points in the game, including 17 points in the fourth quarter, leading the team to win. The Spurs' stats for this game are very outlandish, and Leonard Aldridge's GDP combination has not scored any 15 points. The highest is a Leonard's 15 points. The rest include Ade, which is 11 points.
The Spurs' No. 21 had 8 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 block tonight. These 8 points were all scored in the first half, but what about the second half? Didn't get a point. The stats for the entire second half were, 1 block. And then, there was no more.
Compared with last year, he still has the strength of 18+11+3+1+1, and this year, it has fallen a bit miserably.
But this is the competition, just look at the winner, Tang Qian won, the Lakers won, this is the final result.
Lakers vs. Spurs, 95-90, Western Conference semifinals, 1-0.
