Chapter 787 - 20 Consecutive Wins !! (The third watch is over~~~ Xiaozi asks for support~~~)
"The Lakers' No. 24 hand feels too smooth tonight, don't go hard with him!" Kawai you just need to do what you have to do, Kobe Bryant this season is a bit crazy, and it's not your problem that you can't prevent it. Just do what you can. Leonard nodded, and Popovich continued: "Secondly, we can't be led by the nose, the Lakers' offense has been clearly organized and integrated after Nash's return, but they also have weaknesses that have not been resolved. That's defense. Their defensive holes are still there. ”
This is the real famous coach, who will not be easily blinded by the general trend of the court, and can see the problem in the contrarian trend, find the problem, and solve the problem.
Or do you think they relied on their toes to get a thousand wins?
Although the Lakers currently have a slight advantage on the field, Popovich is very clear-headed and quickly found a way to deal with it.
He took out the tactical board and began to knock with the tactical pen: "Needless to say, the strongest point on the defensive end of the Lakers, one is Kobe, and the other is Dongfang hot, these two points basically you want to play hard individually, which is extremely difficult." With Gasol's return, the No.4 position has also been supplemented and strengthened, and the Spaniard is definitely an excellent interior defender, although not at the defensive level, but he is also far above the level of the same position. As long as the three of them are present, these three points are very difficult in singles. However, the Lakers are not invulnerable, and their problems are still not resolved. ”
"No. 3 is on Wesley. Johnson is still coming on Nick. Yang is an outside defender below the average level, and we can break through from this defensive point more aggressively. But the preferred point, again, this one. "Popovich circled a position on the tactical board with a tactical pen, and that position was the No. 1 position, which was ...... Steve. Nash!
"Don't be surprised, don't be intimidated by Nash's passing and playmaking ability, his defense is not as good as before, and the No. 1 position, which is basically a little bit of ability, can easily break through and eat him raw. And coincidentally, the No. 1 position of our team is a strong point with good scoring ability. Popovich looked up at Tony. Parker said, "How's it going, Tony?" Are you sure? ”
Parker blinked and said with a smile: "I don't dare to say anything about Kobe, but this season's Steve, hehe, I won't show mercy." "Well, that's good." Popovich was also satisfied with this answer, Parker has become more and more old in recent years, especially the improvement of mid-range and long-range projection, which has greatly increased his aggression and unpredictability. And Parker's defense, really, really underrated!! Even Tang Qian, at first, he thought that Parker was at the middle and upper level of the defensive end, and he was not excellent. And the fact is that in the 12-13 season Tony. Parker's defensive efficiency ranks second among point guards in the league!! Right!!! That's right, it's second!!
It's just that because it's too short, it's easy to be a tall player, so everyone has an illusion.
In fact, Parker has always been a defensive stalwart among point guards! Although there are not many high-gloss lenses, he has a big advantage!! This may also be the entire Spurs-born player, who defends with a common character, that is, the defense is rarely out of position!! What do you mean? This means that you can rely on your individual ability to fight hard, but it is very difficult to get rid of and tear the defense.
Stats don't mean everything, but it can rank second in defensive efficiency in the entire point guard league, do you think it's something that ordinary people can do?
It's really a tradition for the Spurs to keep a low profile, and you only get surprised when you take a serious look at some of the stats about this player.
The offense has to hit Nash hard, and that's also easy and enjoyable.
Don't look at his average score per game is basically fluctuating around 20 points, but his scoring efficiency is terrifyingly high. Career combined shooting percentage is better than Chris. Paul was 2 percentage points higher! This season, the shooting percentage is around 50%! Compare Paul? That's only about 46%! And as the No. 1 position, or in a team type team like the Spurs, it is an exaggeration to score about 20 points at the peak!
Looking at the league, it may only be a quasi-first-class scorer, but in point guards, it is a first-class level.
If you really want to spread your hands to fight, Parker's destructive power is absolutely amazing.
The Lakers' biggest bright spot tonight is indeed their biggest defensive weakness.
The truth is that cruel.
The 40-year-old Nash, the defense is completely scum, not to mention Parker, any No. 1 position with scoring ability can "eat dumplings" on the head of the son of the wind. This is really "eating dumplings", and it has actually been obvious since last season, as long as the situation cannot be opened, the opposing team will go to the No. 1 position of the Lakers to find the "breaking point". It's not to belittle Nash, Nash is actually very willing to defend, he's not the kind of player who doesn't have the motivation to defend, it's just ...... It's true that the hard ability is not enough, plus it's 40 years old! At this age, Qiao Shendu's defense began to scum, not to mention Steve, who was originally an ordinary defender. Nash?
So after the start of the fourth quarter, the Spurs gradually found a way to change the situation.
It's really chasing Nash's point to fight! In addition, Parker was originally a super scoring powerman among point guards, so a wave of 10 consecutive points instantly flipped the score over! Mike. D'Antoni immediately called a timeout.
The first three quarters were okay, mainly because of the need to use Nash's conduction and organizational skills to improve the Lakers' overall scoring ability, so the problem of losing points is not too obvious. But the fourth quarter is different, this time is the tiebreaker, every point is crucial, and Nash will do this "ATM" again, which will hurt the morale of the Lakers team.
So what to do? What to do! D'Antoni is still very decisive! After a little communication with Nash, he was replaced, and then the No. 1 spot was not Jordan. Farmar instead went on with the stronger, more youthful and energetic Kendal. Marshall came on to replace. Of course, Marshall can't defend Parker, but in the end, he has a body, at least not like Nash, who will be cleaned in one step, and the exhaust can't be seen.
This is actually the so-called "50 steps and 100 steps laughing" feeling, but it's just that the 40-year-old Nash is too scummy defensively, so it seems Kendal. Marshall is slightly stronger. In fact, this guy is also a famous "defensive colander", if it weren't for the Lakers being the main control of Nash, he would be the scumbag of the entire Lakers team.
Now the Lakers still have several important role players during the injury, otherwise D'Antoni would not have used Kendall in the crucial fourth quarter. Marshallese's. This is just a desperate move by a dwarf to pull out a general.
On the court, D'Antoni seemed to emphasize that he didn't need to do anything else, just defend Parker with all his might, and that's it. As for ball control, organization, and tandem, he doesn't need to bother much.
Without Nash, the Lakers have once again become a relatively fragmented offensive individual, so that the Spurs' team defense will be highlighted. Popovich thought so, but the situation was not as he intended. Because after the absence of Nash, there was another person who stepped forward. He is Kobe Bryant, who has been playing without the ball and resting a lot of time. Bryant.
Unlike the previous more than 60 games, Kobe Bryant in this game seems to be in very good shape, and obviously has a lot of energy to spare. That's the benefit of Nash's comeback, and Bryant was able to retain enough energy to take over the game in the final quarter.
Seeing that the Lakers are finally back in their "familiar" offensive mode, Kawhi . Leonard breathed a sigh of relief, and then ran to the 24th, lowered his body, and defended strongly. Compared with last year, Leonard's defense has made great progress, and the original time and space began to enter the second defense, which is the best evidence. He has finally become a real defensive strongman, and on the outside, at least in the top five.
He has also defended a lot of scoring masters this season, and there are plenty of bright spots, which has made Leonard's defensive self-confidence also skyrocket.
But he really chose the wrong person.
No. 24, who is in full physical condition, is difficult for anyone to stop this season.
He must at least reach the level of DPOY in the future to be eligible for a head-on challenge, and now ...... To do so is to seek death.
Looking for abuse.
Do you think Kobe Bryant's more than 55% of his singles shots so far, and his more than 5 in 1 singles success rate is fake?
This is more domineering than his 44.5% singles shot at his peak, and more than 4 out of 7 singles success!
In terms of this singles ability and this singles energy, Leonard is only 2 defenses now, and the level is still a little far behind.
This is not the time for a challenge.
So let's enter Kobe Bryant's textbook singles time, No. 24 first broke through Leonard, and then made a sharp stop.
Then the next turn starts to change direction, move sideways, and throw back.
The flank is stuck for the ball, and the back is singled back to shoot.
Near the low post, he continued to turn his back, his body swayed, and his steps were delicate, shaking Leonard's shot.
In the fourth quarter, Bryant shot a total of 9 times, hitting 7 and missing 2.
Leonard was a little dazed in the back, and was shaken up by the No. 24 three-point line, and then pasted it as a three-point shot. Brush~, the referee blows the whistle, Kobe Bryant's goal is counted, and one more penalty will be added! 8 out of 10 shots! During this time, the singles hit rate reached 80%! Obviously, Kobe Bryant, who is full of physical energy and energy, is in a very high state in this game, and Nash has basically "fed" his shooting touch in the first three quarters, and now he is single, and he has easily entered the state.
At this point, Popovich knew he was too underweight tonight, and the Lakers have seen significant changes to the team with the return of Gasol and Nash. It's no longer so mechanical, so simple to attack.
This Lakers team ...... With the meaning of a real strong team! This season is in the playoffs, and it is estimated that it will cause a lot of trouble for the Spurs! Well, it seems necessary to re-study and study the opponent, and the previous data analysis data will all be overturned and remade.
However, this does not mean that the Spurs are weaker than the Lakers, but tonight, the Lakers "took it by surprise", which made San Antonio a little unprepared and unprepared. So many things were not played, they were completely suppressed, and the momentum was lost.
It's not completely impossible to continue the struggle, but who is Popovich? He is the same as the "Zen master" back then, and he is a person who extremely pursues the coaching style of "regular season training, playoffs are the real battlefield". Otherwise, with so many "tricks and turns", ordinary celebrities can't do it.
Therefore, there is no need to fight too hard, it is just a regular season game after all.
It is not cost-effective to ask this group of "old men" to go to a bloody battle.
The Spurs' ambitions this season, but Larry. The O'Brien Cup, the playoffs, is their stage.
So, after a little weighing, Popovich gave up the game and didn't let the GDP combination go up and play more.
Without the GDP combination, even if the Spurs are good overall, it has dropped a big notch, and it will be difficult to reverse the score gap.
Seeing that the general trend had been decided, the opponent also chose to disarm, D'Antoni immediately replaced Kobe Bryant and Gasol, the two main players who had played for a long time, and chose to re-send Nash, who had rested for most of the quarter, to play and control.
Tang Qian was very lucky, in the second half of the quarter, he got a lot of passes from Nash, so he was also a little shameless in garbage time, swiping a handful of data. In the end, he got 19 points, 19 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 2 assists, which is quite good-looking! Kobe Bryant only scored 37 points! But look at his stats and hit rate! The shooting percentage is over 7 out of 5!! It only took a relatively small number of shots to get this score! Kobe Bryant is in a good mood, although the score is less than 40+, but this model is obviously what he wants, and it is also what this Lakers team needs.
Gasol also scored 18 points! Steve. Nash, the first comeback, 33 minutes, 11 assists, very exciting!
As for scoring or something, the Lakers are not short of this now, and Nash's ability can also allow many players with poor ball-holding ability to exert unexpected firepower! This wave has made the Lakers almost and the front, completely reborn!
At 119-105, the Lakers had a 14-point advantage, defeating the league's No. 1 Spurs and continuing their winning streak!
D'Antoni finally came back in high spirits after the game, because tonight's game is the one who relies on his ideas and system to win! This made him extremely mentally happy and said:
The biggest question for the Lakers now is how long Steve can last. As long as he's there, the Lakers will have a new look and will never be afraid of any team in the league again!
We're going to keep winning!!
