On the Lakers' side, the atmosphere is very low, although D'Antoni is still saying something, but no matter how you look at it, it is a routine, and the latter can't see much light in his own eyes. That's basketball, that's the NBA, that's reality.

If you can't beat it, you just can't beat it.

This year's Spurs are too strong, and there is a super coach at the level of the historical president, so the problems and flaws of the Lakers have long been clearly studied. On the surface, it is the situation of this Lakers team this season, and there are some things ESPN is not talking nonsense, don't look at the final record rushed to the first place in the league, with a full 68-14 loss, but the various factors and luck components in it are too big.

After Popovich saw the Lakers take a 3-0 lead over the Rockets, he began to seriously analyze the team.

And it's a head-to-toe analysis.

First of all, on the macro side, the Lakers' record is amazing, but the specific ones are probably these few routines, Kobe Bryant's recovery is amazing, and he has a variety of state explosions and high-explosive attacks, which has begun to blind many people. After the league woke up, the Lakers' No. 29 began to go crazy again, and the scoring remained extremely high for a whole month, and the shooting rate was even a little exaggerated. No. 24 and No. 29 are among the key cares. Then it was until the return of Gasol and Nash, and the Lakers began to blossom under Nash's overall offense, and the style completely changed, which made the rest of the league uncomfortable all of a sudden.

From a micro point of view, Kobe's peak return broke out in the second spring, the rapid growth of No. 29, especially the rebounding and defensive ends, and Nash's strong return, also played a long-lost high-quality state, so ...... The strength of the Lakers is all based on individuals. Except for the so-called "Four Heavenly Kings", most of the rest of the people are people who have no sense of existence and ability to attack fortifications.

Therefore, leaving aside their strong side, the rest, is the flawed side.

The team is extremely loose, with a very poor level of chemistry and chemistry, regardless of offense and defense.

That's the biggest flaw.

Secondly, D'Antoni, his system, is also an illusion of the Lakers.

That style of coaching is particularly demanding on the team's ball handler, and once there is a problem with the ball handler, the whole link will break. So, Popovich quickly made a counterpoint strategy.

First of all, suppressing the Lakers' No. 1 position, the firepower points that seem to bloom everywhere on the outside will be killed in an instant, and they are all players who do not have any independent offensive ability. Without Nash to feed the ball, the end of the game can be imagined, and it is normal to play back to its original shape. Secondly, even if it's Steve. Nash himself is 40 years old! What is the concept of 40 years old in the NBA? The strongest in history, Joe God, has also degenerated into an ordinary All-Star player. Not to mention Steve. Nash.

Another thing is lucky, compared to the Mavericks and the Rockets, the Spurs' No. 1 position has a strong single kill ability.

Neither the Mavericks nor the Rockets have this point, and even the No. 1 position of the Heat is at an ordinary level, so Popovich doesn't take advantage of such a huge positional advantage. The Spurs are mainly playing team basketball this season, but this doesn't mean that Popovich doesn't know how to play "star ball", look at the Spurs team before 07, don't Duncan play "star ball"?

Compared with running tactics and team offense, this difference in alignment is the simplest way to attack, and even the most efficient.

This season, Parker is still in his late prime, dealing with a 40-year-old Steve. Nash, both offensively and defensively, is under no pressure.

So as long as the Lakers' high-level blocking is restrained, then Nash will become the Lakers' biggest "loophole", allowing the French to take what they want.

This is the first targeting and arrangement.

The second is to face the Lakers' overall defense, don't look at the Lakers' interior defense data this season ranks first in the league, but their outside defense is actually sparse. Kobe Bryant's defense was strong, and then what? There is no then. There are 3 players on the outside, 3 positions, you Kobe can defend one, can you defend two or three? The outside line is not the inside line, the space is wide, except for Superman, it is impossible for anyone to defend more.

Therefore, avoiding the Lakers' defensive strong point offense is also the tone that Popovich has set for this series a long time ago.

Try to attack from the weak point, except for the huge opposition advantage or misalignment advantage, otherwise don't force the single, give full play to the Spurs' team attribute advantages this season, and don't be brave.

The third is for the Lakers' rebounding, and a little more detailed for the Lakers' No. 29.

Offensive rebounding, low-post offensive rebounding reduces investment, mainly protects offensive mid-post and high-post rebounding. Because there is no doubt that the interior player will never get a chance to get a mid-post rebound or a high rebound unless he happens to be on the outside. It seems that the offensive low-post rebounding has basically been abandoned, but because the investment value of the offensive mid-post and high-post rebounding has increased, it has also pulled back a little bit in this aspect, so that the offensive rebounding is not completely absent.

Defensive rebounding is a "3-on-2" pattern, with one man against Gasol and the other two against No. 29.

Minimize the grabbing of defensive rebounds.

The last is to deal with No. 24 Kobe, Popovich's approach is to defend Leonard alone on the outside, Kobe Bryant is a heads-up maniac, the singles ratio at his peak and this season is very high, and this season even directly exceeded 5 into 5. Moreover, if Nash's point is really suppressed, Kobe's off-ball offense is bound to decline, and the singles ratio will only be more, not less.

Generally speaking, following a principle, as long as Leonard tries his best to defend in the outside singles, then it will be counted if he enters, but when he enters the low post or inside, he must adopt a defensive strategy of wrapping or assisting or joint defense. Popovich doesn't believe that just Kobe Bryant can win a few games, or even a series, by scoring points.

If Jordan can't do it, then he will too, the playoffs are not the regular season.

Taken together, this is the basic preparation outline of the Spurs, and so far, almost everything has been done, all under Popovich's control. So in this way, the Spurs are 0-3 ahead, and he is not so surprised.

After all, this season is the strongest season for the Spurs he coaches.

Not to mention the Lakers, any team in the league, any team in history, he has confidence.

Later generations commented on the "13-14 season Spurs of a legendary team in history", and they really have this ability.

Otherwise, do you think that the Finals will beat the Heat team with an average of about 14~15 points per game, and the 4 games won will average about 18 points per game, what is this concept? To make a simple analogy, the Spurs in '07 vs. the Cavaliers were considered to be the least suspenseful year, and the result was ...... It's just an average of 6 points per game! Moreover, if you watch the entire series of original planes, you will find that the Spurs have a bit of a feeling that they haven't used their full strength at all, and basically solved the game without a hard fight! The loss was more due to the Spurs' lack of physical fitness and continuous battles, the collective shooting rate was low, Zhan Huang's performance was outstanding, and when the Spurs recovered, there was no suspense.

It's basically all the way back.

Don't look at the fact that there is no sweep, but you also have to look at how many points you have won in a total of 20~30 points, and a total of almost 70 points without a sweep, which is essentially different. The Spurs are just getting older and not having enough continuous endurance, but if they slow down, they will inevitably be beaten again.

To put it mildly, the Lakers, who seem to be the first in the league to the outside world, are actually a pseudo-strong team in Popovich's eyes.

It's not that the star players are not strong, or there are too many loopholes and flaws, and he won't be too afraid of such a team.

Anyway, this year is the year when Popovich is full of confidence and will definitely reach the top.

Because everything is in place, no one can resist it.

Whether it's the Lakers, or the Heat, or the Pacers, it's all the same.

No one can stop the Spurs from becoming the NBA champion this year.

Are you going to lose? Seeing the score difference getting bigger and bigger, Tang Qian couldn't help but get a little anxious, now in this situation, no matter how Kobe Bryant scores, he can't win the ball. Without another scoring point, the Spurs could have swept the Lakers.

Basketball is still a team sport.

This timeout, Kobe Bryant didn't say much, he just stared at the scorer, not knowing what was going on in his heart.

The game was suspended, the two sides appeared again, as the Spurs' lead became more and more solid, more and more solid, and the atmosphere in the AT&T Center Arena became more and more relaxed, which all showed that they both thought that this game was gradually losing suspense. The Los Angeles Lakers were swept out of the tournament and it was almost a foregone conclusion.

Celestial Empire Sports Station.

"Oops, the Spurs scored another one, this continuous small pass cut is so beautiful, the Lakers' defense, it's completely out of shape." Zhang Weiping shook his head a little and sighed and said: "And you see that the Lakers' offense is too dependent on Kobe, one person can't save the current Lakers, someone else must stand up." ”

"Director Zhang, how do you think the Lakers should turn this situation around?" Meteor Shower asked.

Zhang Weiping's face was slightly stagnant, but he still replied: "Now the Lakers just want the second and third offensive points to stand up, and then Bangbang Bangbang shoots a few, don't let Kobe Bryant play like this alone, and at the same time defend the Spurs a few on the defensive end, it's okay." ”

When Meteor Shower heard this, he could only nod and agree: "It makes sense, it makes sense." ”

In fact, this question is a bit stupid to ask, if Zhang Weiping has this ability, he is still sitting here? Why don't you just go straight to the national team? 0-3 behind, this morale has been greatly injured, now the situation is unfavorable, what tactics and systems are fake, first catch up with this score difference, that is a temporary renewal.

Didn't die right away.

The Lakers missed the shot, and the rebound was taken by Tang Qian again, but the Spurs were not too panicked, Duncan quickly made up for it, and then formed an offensive and defensive momentum with Tang Qian in the low post on the left side. After the rebounding ball also entered the "The.Zone", coupled with the "demigod descending to earth", even if the "heart demon" was weakened, it could not stop Tang Qian's rebounding strength.

But as long as they can prevent the opponent from making a basket or dunking in the first place, the Spurs will not be too afraid of the interior lethality of No. 29.

As long as he can't solve Duncan, then the Lakers can't play another offensive point.

The general trend of 0-3 has made the Lakers as a whole lose their spirit, only Kobe and Tang Qian are still fighting desperately, and if the latter can't play on the offensive end, then they can lock up the win. Of course, Duncan didn't think the latter could handle him tonight.

He already felt that after entering the playoffs, the offensive state of the Lakers' No. 29 was significantly weakened compared to the regular season.

This is especially true tonight.

Therefore, he wants to open the offensive end, which is a luxury, and it is even more of a dream to open it from his own body.

"Still not dead? Then come on. Duncan looked at the Lakers center opposite him, completely ignoring the annoyance in the latter's eyes, because this calm state of mind suits his defensive philosophy and defensive philosophy.

"Ahh I'm betting he'll be out of the game with Tim again~"

"I agree. The Lakers are of course the top in the league in rebounding and defense, but the offense, especially the independent offense, hey, hey, it's not very smart. ”

Don dive this ball is actually Moses. Ma Long was also watching, and after he saw Tang Qian's direct hard fight in a little annoyance, he immediately scolded in his mouth: "What is this fighting?" Is that how I taught you? Deal with Tim. Duncan, an experienced defensive man, what else do you want? Is it against his people? Create a physical confrontation! Otherwise, at your level, you can't beat others! ”

"Play to your strengths! Your body is your greatest strength! Tim. Duncan, he's old!! ”

Tang Qian's ball missed again, Duncan's low-post defense was too old and spicy, Tang Qian's offense was in front of him, and now it was like a pediatric, completely calculated.

Seeing this, Kobe Bryant finally couldn't help it, and he began to attack and defend a little out of control, but instead fell into the Spurs' defensive trap. This Spurs team told the Lakers No. 24 one thing, you alone will definitely not win!

At least, not to win San Antonio in the 13-14 season.

Seeing that there were only 2 minutes left in the second quarter, D'Antoni gave up the regular rotation, he just sat in the coach's box, a little glazed-eyed, this scene and Steve in the corner of the bench area. Nash, how similar?

The loneliness of the loser is destined to be the coronation footnote of the winner, no one will sympathize with them, but will only be written about by ESPN and other media, and the failure of the Lakers will become even more predestined.

Really, really, no??? Is there no way at all???

Tang Qian was also a little dazed, he looked at the court, it was obviously five against five, but it was as if there were only 2 people left in the Lakers.

The rest of the teammates have all turned into walking corpses and lost the minimum competitive soul.

I, I, this is not the ending I want!

Then he turned his gaze to No. 24's body, looked at the black mamba that was a little out of control, and suddenly yelled in his heart:

Grass mud horse's! If you want to die, you will die on the court! How can it be done at the end of such a???

No way!!!

I'm going to take the Spurs' defensive core!!

How do you do it??? What ordinary people can't do and dare not do doesn't mean that Tang Qian can't do it and doesn't dare to do it!!

He's going to fight hard!!

Fight for your life!!

And it's not shouting slogans, it's really desperate!!

What does that mean?

The meaning is very simple, that is, some instinctive protection and concession are no longer there.

Playing basketball, especially professional basketball, everyone will not joke about their career life, so like Kobe Bryant's Achilles tendon injury, he has been injured in a row before, and he still doesn't get off the court, very rarely. After all, since it is a profession, it is necessary to take the test to eat, this to support the family, if you really hurt yourself for one or two balls, this is not worth it.

So a lot of balls, in fact, if you fight hard and send a little hard, it's not that you can't hit it, it's not that you can't defend it, it's people's protective instinct, and it's a question of whether it's worth it.

One ball, you let yourself suffer a serious injury, and since then the competitive state has taken a sharp turn, isn't this Nima unable to get along with the American knife? Isn't it hard to get along with life? So, basically, no one will fight to that extent. This mental state is very important, and if you watch their playoffs in the year the Big Three of the Green Army won the championship, you know that they are all crazy.

That kind of momentum is something that no team in the league has.

That kind of extreme desire for the championship made the Lakers Finals even more directly hit the head and completely suppressed.

You're good at playing, but you can't stand up to other people's playing? Kobe himself summed up that year that the Lakers lost to the Celtics mentally, and they were completely inferior to others, so it is not surprising that they lost. How did the 2010 championship come about? Relying on enough psychological preparation and hard work, crazy hand-to-hand fighting, this is the hard-won NBA championship.

Tang Qian is now going to enter this mental state, that is, ......

Parker made his way into the Lakers' interior with the help of a pick-and-roll, and in order to avoid being blocked, he went straight to the attack with a small throw, and he and he made a smart choice against Brazilian Thiago. Split's shot from behind, so there is basically no possibility of being blocked. Yes, under normal circumstances, yes, but ......

Soon, Jean will tell him that someone is already abnormal.

"Tony's small throw, this ball arc is good, and there is no interference, it's basically ......" but Spurs commentator Bill. Before Rand could finish speaking, a black shadow came out of nowhere and slapped the ball away!!

It was really hard to cover, and the basketball was hit straight out of the 3-point line.

How could he cover this ball? I SHOT THROUGH TIAGO, WHO IS 211CM TALL!

Parker couldn't believe that his shot was capped, but immediately he saw a huge figure, flipped straight down, and then smashed directly into the Lakers' restricted area floor.

Bang~ Although Tang Qian is not a heavy center now, he is also a person who is around 269 pounds, and it is strange that he suddenly lost his balance and tripped after jumping so high, and his voice was not loud.

This ball hurts just to watch on TV, let alone the intuitive feeling of the scene.

This guy, this kind of ball, he also has to jump up and block? Isn't he afraid of getting hurt himself?

Parker's idea is not wrong, this ball is indeed a block action that is easy to be injured, such a big body, such a big inertia, this time he lost his balance and smashed it hard, it is not a joke, the older ones are probably not able to get up all of a sudden.

The ball was just covered outside the three-point line, and No. 24 Kobe Bryant took the lead, rushed over and scored a single fast-break layup.

Leonadella didn't even have time to pull it down.

"Gary! Gary! You go up and have a look......" But before D'Antoni finished speaking, Tang Qian stood up by himself, and then stood up again under the Lakers' restricted area basket without saying a word.

The Spurs offense, another beautiful stump cut, Leonard received a hand-to-hand pass with the help of a screen, and then a baseline belly pull-up layup. The ball was basically blocked by Leonard, so the possibility of interference was not high, but at the moment Leonard shot, a tall figure suddenly appeared, and it was very perfect to seal Leonard's best shooting space.

How is this ...... How did he end up here? This defensive position, shouldn't it? He......

Then a little frightening scene came into the corner of Leonard's eye, and he suddenly saw that the black shadow actually hit his head on the bottom edge of the rebound! Yes, I just hit it solidly! Otherwise, the Lakers No. 29 can't get this perfect defensive position!

After all, Leonard's shot can be regarded as calculating the blocking angle, so this ball was unexpected.

Leonard almost made a three-pointer in this shot, although it was not blocked, but it was also disrupted by the rhythm of the shot, and the basketball failed to hit the Lakers' basket.

To the consternation of the Spurs' No. 2, the Eastern center just shook his head hard after landing on the ground, and then ran back to the front court and joined the team's offense.

What the hell is this guy doing? Is there such a defense???

Is he still a professional footballer?

On the offensive end, Meeks failed to break through and was forced to stop the ball, he could only hurriedly throw the basketball in his hand into the inside, the ball was actually passed very poorly, but it was still taken by Tang Qian with his physical fitness, avoiding a team offensive mistake.

As soon as he landed, it was naturally Tim again. Duncan defended, but this time, the Spurs' No. 21 saw something different in the eyes of his opponent.

Is that......
