Chapter 589: Please "Stone Buddha" rest
Brush~
Another three-pointer was hit, and the difference between the two sides was only 15 points. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
There were 39 seconds left until the end of the half.
The Spurs only scored a measly 2 points in the last few minutes, and a small 17-2 surge took shape in an instant.
But Popovich didn't call a timeout, because he still had a 15-point lead, at least on the field, the situation was not clearly out of control.
The San Antonio Spurs are not last year's Oklahoma City Thunder, and as "old drivers", there will always be someone who will run out and hit the brakes in times of crisis. The Spurs held the ball on the inside line on the 21st, turned around, and shot, Tang Qian was naturally ready to jump and block, but the trajectory of this basketball was a little strange, it actually flew to the ground.
However, the current Tang Qian, unlike before, quickly reacted, and as soon as his body turned, he faced Manu who cut in the air. Ginobili. Ginobili forced a layup? Not to mention now, even if it is at its peak, it is difficult to break through the ironclad defense of the Lakers' No. 29 at this moment. So, he didn't choose to shoot, just a quick shot, and the basketball flew near the free throw line.
And the man standing there is Tim. Duncan.
Duncan quickly retreated after passing the ball, then caught the ball and shot, brushing ~
The Spurs got a precious 2-pointer.
The difference in score became 17 points again.
Duncan's strategy was effective, and he disrupted the Lakers' interior defense.
Waiting for Tang Qian to move, Manu in front of him. Ginobili, just delayed, so that the Spurs No. 21 can calmly shoot this ball. The Lakers attacked, and the basketball was handed to Gasol to shoot, but he didn't know how, and Gasol beat Matt. Bonner actually failed, the basketball was cut throughout, and then the Spurs had a final chance to attack.
The Spurs chose a positional battle, and 14 seconds was enough time to complete a full drop, so the Lakers team was highly concentrated. Or it was handed over to Tim, who was playing near the free throw line. Duncan, it can be seen that the more critical the moment, the more prominent Duncan's team status becomes. The role of the core and the spirit of the team is sometimes not only an offense, but also a university as the starting point of the attack.
This is also a first-class internal line, a high-level basic skill that must be mastered.
Duncan's ball-handling strategy, of course, is top-notch, but compared to his ......
"Tim passed the ball to Manu, Manu went inside, the Lakers' Meeks can't guard him, but be careful of the Lakers' No. 5 position, the Orientals' defensive strength tonight can be called an explosion!" The Spurs' on-site commentator said very quickly: "Oh? Without a direct shot, Manu interspersed from the bottom line of the basket, and then the baseline was long and straight, and the basketball flew to the bottom corner of the right side, where Matt was standing. Bonner, this is also one of Bonner's shooting hotspots! β
Small Tactical Ball ???
Tang Qian reacted instantly, and immediately killed from the inside line and pounced on the bottom right corner.
In his current state, Tang Qian had a great chance to catch up, but he didn't run a few steps before he was ...... Shengsheng blocked it.
Blocked? Who is holding me back???
Brush~
A delay in kung fu for Spurs Matt. Bonner's shot has been shot.
Empty three-pointer hollow shot.
There are only 1.4 seconds left for the Lakers in halftime.
Duncan glanced back at Tang Qian, although he didn't speak, but the meaning was very clear: Boy, don't think that you can easily overtake it, with me, it's not so easy.
The Lakers made a three-point shot in the backcourt, and the basketball was not touched, and then landed helplessly.
At halftime, the Spurs led the Lakers by a full 20 points, 65-45!
"Hey! Oriental Yankees! It's garbage time again! It's garbage time again! When Tang Qian walked to the players' tunnel, the "true fan" of the Spurs suddenly shouted with a proud face.
T.N.T Live Room.
"The Lakers fought back, but in the end they were pressed by Duncan and the Spurs, but it's a pity, now it's 20 points again, and there is not much suspense left." Kenny. After Smith finished speaking, O'Neal continued: "This is the gap between hard power and hard power, the hard power of the Lakers and the Spurs is too far apart, and losing is almost a long time ago." I'm not personally surprised. β
"However, the first half of this game performed well, 6 points, 17 rebounds, 6 blocks, 2 assists, including 3 caps, and directly contributed 3 rebounds + 3 blocks of multi-faceted data, to be honest, even if the Lakers lost, I think this is one of the biggest highlights of this series." Reggie. Miller said: "If the Lakers want to keep him next season, prepare for a salary of tens of millions of dollars, I don't think it's too much, because even if his play is very inconsistent, it is worth the price." β
"Charles, is there anything else you'd like to say?"
Barkley didn't speak, but he wilted a lot, and it seemed that he was no longer optimistic about the current situation of the Lakers.
After all, the Spurs are the Spurs, close to 20 years of power, this year's championship contenders, really serious, the Lakers can't resist. It's not a one-person problem, it's a team and another team's problem.
Basketball...... It's still five people after all, isn't it?
At the beginning of the second half, Tang Qian looked at Duncan, and a strong spark burst out in his eyes, he didn't think that in his current state, he couldn't suppress an old Duncan. The Lakers missed the offense, and Tang Qian grabbed the rebound and made a strong rebound, causing Tim. Duncan's personal defensive foul, which was also Duncan's second personal foul of the game.
Penalty kick...... Of course, there is no guarantee of hit rate, because whether it is "demigod descending to earth" or "rage", it does not have any blessing effect on free throws.
The Lakers scored 1 point on 1 of 2 free throws.
At 65-46, the Lakers trailed by 19 points.
The Spurs continue to execute small tactics, compared to the big tactical rotation of 4~5 people, complex running, small tactics are usually 2~3 people can be done. Moreover, the consumption of energy and physical strength of the players is far less than that of major tactical execution. As I said before, tactical balls are extremely physically demanding, especially complex big tactics, even the Spurs can't play like this with 48 points per ball, and people's energy and physical strength are difficult to support.
In the case of conventional offense and singles disadvantage, small tactical offense and defense is a relatively compromise method.
However, it is a small tactic, but it can be executed, and it is not as easy as a simple run. For example, the Spurs run these mid and high positions interspersed with cover balls, which are good to look at, and those who really want to execute well, want to exert their power, and do strategy and axis are particularly crucial. If this person does not grasp it well, then the whole set of tactics will be ineffective, and the previous efforts will be wasted, and the energy and physical strength of the players will be wasted.
Many people mistake the ability to play the axis as the same as the ability to assist or pass the ball directly.
It is true that assists and passing ability must be counted, but this is not all there is to the strategy and the axis of playing, just talking about the ability to respond, there are two categories of strategy with the ball and strategy without the ball. For example, the Lakers' Gasol is the type to stand out with the ball, but Duncan is a one-shot player. Looking at a game, a large part of why the Spurs' offense, simple and efficient, is due to Duncan, a top player who plays without the ball.
He can make the Spurs' offense simple, concise, and finish deadly attacks from the opponent's weak spots.
That's why Duncan and Garnett are the sure defensive cores of any team, if not the main offense. Because this ability is so important, the improvement of personal data is insignificant, but for the overall improvement of the team, it is no less than a collective rebirth. And that's, that's what Van Gundy said, Dwight. Howard is inferior to Duncan's defensive side.
Howard's strategy ability is too much worse than his hard defense ability, and it is simply miserable.
In the first few games of the series, the Spurs were too underestimated, thinking that they could easily sweep the Lakers as long as they took out 5~6 strength, but from the last game, the pressure of elimination made them completely sober. Duncan's "Demon King Attribute" began to gradually recover.
This made the Spurs' offense suddenly sharp, sharp, and the previous games, like two teams.
Tang Qian was stabbed in the back again, the Spurs Parker scored a layup, and Duncan's super off-ball response made Tang Qian more understand why he is the No. 1 PF man in history, and why he can rely on his physical fitness that is not outstanding, and he has been in the basketball world for 20 years. This is definitely not an accident, people's personal abilities have long been to the point of perfection.
The personal ability mentioned here is not only the offensive and defensive ability, but also the most important point, the ability to understand the game and the ability to read the game. This is also the field that Tang Qian has not touched at all at the moment.
67-46, the Lakers dribbled but were defeated by Tony. Parker's steal, Tang Qian, because it was just over halftime, was very timely to defend, and the Spurs' score in this sports battle was contained. However, in the positional battle, Duncan caused Paul. Gasol was fouled on defense and made 2 of 2 free throws to give the Spurs two more points.
69-46γ
"Boy, have you thought about it? Welcome to the Holy City~" The Spurs grinned at the Lakers No. 29 after hitting the second free throw. This made Tang Qian's expression sink immediately. In the offensive round of the Lakers, the outside shot still missed, and Tang Qian accepted the rebound again, I have to say that the rebounding protection ability of the Spurs' lineup is really poor. Except for Duncan, there is not even a person who averages 4+ rebounds per game.
If you want to confront Tang Qian at the moment, there is no 1% chance of winning, and 1% of the chance of winning does not exist.
Tang Qian made a move, Duncan also stretched out his hand, and relying on years of game experience, Duncan's right hand was accurate and touched the basketball in the former's hand. Looks like you're going to have a cap? No, Tang Qian didn't let him succeed, but the whole person forcibly bumped into the latter, and then used the blessing of rage to violently break away from the Spurs' No. 21 right hand and throw the basketball out indiscriminately.
It doesn't matter if the basketball goes in or not, his purpose is to have a strong physical contact, arm contact with Duncan.
It's like Duncan did with Gasol just now.
The referee blew the whistle and awarded the Spurs No. 21 the third personal foul of the game.
Off the court, Popovich saw the purpose of the Lakers' No. 29, but he didn't call a timeout, because the Spurs' No. 21 had no intention of going off. Duncan looked at the former and said, "Little guy, the speed of learning is not slow, but do you think you can succeed next time?" β
Tang Qian didn't answer, just walked to the free throw line and made free throws, unfortunately, 2 free throws were 0 hits, and basketball became the Spurs' bag.
"Haha~ Oriental Yankee ~ 2 free throws 0 is equal to an offensive mistake Ha~ Thank you for being so generous~ With you, it is difficult for your team not to lose!!" The "real fan" in the front row took the opportunity to shout again, this is also a kind of game culture in the NBA playoffs, thinking that in order to interfere with Bird's free throws, there were even opposing fans who "seduced" him and put a number of life-size "sexy girl pictures" under the basket. Relatively speaking, using interference sticks and verbal teasing are relatively normal behaviors.
Anyway, the NBA rules that as long as you don't get in, you can interfere as much as you want off the court.
You can dance with just pants, as long as you can get out of it (in fact, there are fans who have done this, and the T.M.D. has succeeded, what a fucking genius!). οΌγ
Many do-gooders also like to clip these tidbits together for basketball fans to entertain.
However, Tang Qian didn't care, because his purpose had already been achieved.
What does he want to do? That's right, it's to invite the Spurs' No. 21 rookie to take an early break.
Otherwise, it will be even more difficult for the Lakers to win.
The Spurs made a 19-foot shot, but unfortunately missed, and was defeated by Darius. Morris grabbed the top rebound.
Tang Qian began to take the initiative to ask for the ball, because it was only the third quarter, Duncan had already committed three fouls, and as long as there was one more time, he would have to leave the game early. In order to achieve this goal, Tang Qian did not hesitate to expose his embarrassing free throws. But Duncan is not stupid, he saw the purpose of the Lakers' No. 29, so he was fully vigilant and was not prepared to let the former "succeed".
The Lakers pulled away, letting Tang Qian and Duncan one-on-one in the low post.
There was no chance of success on his back, so Tang Qian decisively chose to attack with a basket, and in one breath, he used the super energy at this stage to crush the opponent.
"The Lakers rushed to Thiem at No. 29, and the ball didn't look technical at all, and Thiem wasn't going to let him pass easily." Spurs live commentator Bill. Rand said, and the Spurs' No. 21 blocked Tang Qian's offensive line, and then slapped down with a big hat.
Duncan is the fifth player on the list of future all-time blocks, and the fifth player to reach a career total of 3,000+ blocks.
It can be seen that the Spurs' No. 21 block is strong.
Can not rely so much on physical fitness to play the block to this level, Duncan's experience, judgment, and skill are definitely the top in history.
Tang Qian's straightforward attack couldn't give him too much defensive pressure.
The basketball was covered, but he and Tang Qian both flew out sideways, and then finally, the Lakers No. 29 used brute force to break free of the basketball and threw it high into the air of the Spurs. There is an unwritten rule in the NBA, when judging this kind of "hitter foul" or "defensive foul", first look at whether the basketball is blocked, if the cover is down, for the sake of the enjoyment and fluency of the game, it is very likely not to implement the blowing penalty, but if the block fails, let the opponent successfully shoot the basketball, then the result will fall one by one. It became the vast majority of defensive fouls.
Duncan's ball was whistled for another defensive foul by the referee.
Duncan felt extremely wronged, and he turned to the referee and shouted a complaint, but the referee ignored it, which made Spurs head coach Greg Murphy. Popovich was also angry, Popovich was a famous "drunkard", so he also had a little "drunk" habits, stood up and roared loudly: "What the hell is this blowing punishment? Do you think this kind of blowing punishment is correct??? Come.onοΌ This is our Spurs' home stadium, not the Staples Center in Los Angeles!! Are you all wrong about the days??? β
This kind of roar, of course, the referee will not let go, a technical foul blows, and the Lakers get a penalty power.
Tang Qian made 1 of 2 free throws, Meeks made 1 of 1 free throws, and the Lakers caught up with 2 points.
69-48, it looks like only 2 points in one round, but for Tang Qian, for the Lakers, it means a lot.
Because without Duncan, the Spurs can't find a decent interior line.
The strongest inside line is only Brazilian Thiago. Split.
And Thiago. Splitt, doubled in strength, can't replace half of No. 21's role in the Spurs.
But there was no way, in order to protect Duncan, who had already committed 4 fouls, Popovich could only execute substitutions.
Without Duncan, this long-range lineup would no longer be possible, so they had to rearrange their troops and send Thiago. Split + Kawai. Leonard + Matt. Bonner + Tony. Parker + Burrese. Dior five people. And this lineup is also the strongest "rebounding lineup" that the Spurs can come up with at the moment.
Popovich thought the lineup would hold up for a while, but just 2 minutes and 19 seconds later, he couldn't sit still and had to call a timeout. Because the Lakers made three three-pointers in one go, scored nine points in a row, and played a wave of 9-0 mini-climax, it was necessary to interrupt the opponent's upswing.
And what people didn't expect the most was that the person who made three 3-pointers was not Meeks, not Blake, or even Darius. Morris, but the Lakers' No. 29 - Tang Qian.
With a three-game streak, the Lakers narrowed the deficit to 69-57, and the deficit became 12 points.
When Tang sneaked off the court, he spat in a certain direction in the front row of the Spurs: "Hey, there's only 12 points left, isn't it?" β
