Chapter 1425 - Because they have one less old man
In bench time, the Spurs want to rely on their own tactical literacy to chase points quickly, but unfortunately this season's Lakers bench lineup is too strong. No one thought about it before, but when I actually fought, I found out that it was completely cheating. Tactical runs, they can hold it down like the main force, and there are also offensive core points and single points on the inside and outside, and the Spurs' Leonard and Aldridge are not too high in playing time, one is averaging 33+ per game and the other is averaging 32+ per game this season, what does this mean? That means there's still plenty of time left for the Spurs to face without a "duo" on the field. Even if it's staggered, it's not enough.
So this paragraph has become a performance for the Lakers. The Spurs want to play tactics, right, you guys, we don't care, we have a bunch of defensive and quasi-defensive players on our side, plus Gasol who is as strong as an All-Star on the inside. When you go in, there is also an elder and a sister-in-law to cover the basket. Do you really think you can go to heaven?
As a result, the Spurs finally scored a tactical ball, and the opposite side directly relied on simple tactical cooperation or even no cooperation at all, and singled into the net. Of course, a single point is not enough, a single point is similar to the 0506 Kobe Bryant of that year, no matter how strong a person is, he will be consumed by the opponent's tactics and the whole. Because I'm so tired and keep out, no one can last the whole game all the time. No matter how lonely you can shoot so many balls in a game, you can shoot eighty or ninety balls, and you will also be given a chance to foul a free throw? Jordan and Kobe Bryant couldn't hold it either.
If you force it, the efficiency will be lower than the sky, not to mention the defense.
In that case, it will be very tiring to play singles and it will be easy for the opponent to score, but what about the other way around? What if there are a lot of singles, or even a little overflow? Then it's a different story. You guys ran a lot of tactics before you found a chance to shoot, and we were A, B, C, and D, one by one. There is no physical problem at all. It is simpler and more concise to become a single, the latter is complicated and verbose.
Everything depends on what the situation is, especially the bench, and the defensive intensity is like that, you think it's all the Lakers.
So the Lakers' bench plays with ease, and as long as the Spurs don't have star players on the court, then they will be beaten. Ginobili is now old, he is 39 years old this year, although the output is still 7+2+3+1, but compared to his own peak, it is still far behind. Even if the peak Ginobili data is a bench, the data is at least 2 times better than this, and the scoring data is more than 2 times. And he can often be explosive, and now, he has more time for super ghosts.
Plagued by injuries, the lowest shooting percentage of his career, around 39%, fell below 40%, which is also a strong evidence.
Such a Ginobili wants to beat the Lakers' outside line, even if it is a substitute outside line, it is difficult. The defensive ability of this set of bench perimeter players can be said to be much better than many of the main teams in the league. The Lakers' low-salary bonus began to play a role, and many players who were previously looked down upon or even looked down upon by other teams broke out here and rejuvenated.
So, you still say a ball? What else can you say but jealousy, envy and hatred?
Even if Parker and Ginobili are replaced to play together, they can't break the Lakers' bench outside defense. Beverley, who defended the lineup, suppressed a Parker who had been in a declining period, and there was no pressure, and the French sports car now only had the ability to average 10+ points per game, and it was no longer as brave as it was in the past. Beverley is ambitious this year, so naturally he will do his best defensively. Parker complained bitterly. Ginobili also struggled to break down the Covington defense. In fact, these two guys are both players with defensive formations and even defensive strength.
You let the two end-of-career GPD combinations block it, can you? Force somebody's hand.
What's even more terrifying is that even if Popovich made adjustments and let the players go to the line to pinch the attack, which caused the Lakers to attack several times, and then, he was not happy for long. The Lakers simply didn't bother to play simple tactics, and directly pulled out a bunch of singles candidates, such as Nick. Yang, such as "junior brother" Stephenson, at the same time let Yi Jianlian and Covington go out to pull away, ready to set three points. Not only that, they also have Gasol, who is an All-Star player, on the inside as a singles tandem point.
Ma Dan's ~ This, this is still a substitute lineup? This is the main force at all, right? These stupid managers, why didn't these people want it in the first place, and they didn't take it??? When Popovich cursed in his heart, he probably forgot that he himself was not optimistic about these people at the beginning. Otherwise, with his status with the Spurs, it would be impossible not to take it. Most of these people were not expensive at the beginning, they just didn't see it.
The bench lineup has offense and defense, inside and outside, single and organized, isn't this a human life? Is it necessary to bring a star player to the bench when playing with the Lakers in the future? In that way, for a team with few stars, it is an invisible weakening and attrition. For example, the Spurs, the current star time is fixed, and playing too long means that the physical consumption will increase, and the key tiebreaker in the fourth quarter is likely to have a sharp decline in form. This is also another killer feature of the Lakers this year.
The name is said, and the stars are consumed.
Don't consume? Don't want to? Say no? Well, you can just wait for the tiebreaker.
The first three verses will be smoothed out for you.
The Spurs still wanted to struggle a little, so they took a flank shot, and then Stephenson, who was holding the ball for the Lakers, passed to the top arc, and the top arc Nick. Young with the ball. The overall quality of the Spurs team is not to be said, and soon someone changed the defense, thinking that this gap was blocked. But, Nick. Yang is still singles. Please, people have a nickname called the singles king, okay?
This year is also the original space-time Nick. In Yang's peak, his shooting accuracy was almost the strongest in his career, so he hit the head with a knife in his hand. This is also the personal attack style of "Yang Shaoxia", isn't it? What are the benefits of singles? Quite simply, there is no need to be free. Otherwise, what else is it called a single?
The Spurs have adopted a strategy of continuous high-post pinching + mid-lane defense change, wanting to block the Lakers' outside singles. Well, the defensive strategy is no problem, and the effect is there, Popovich has been at the helm of the Spurs for so many years, and he is confident in the team's execution. However, the Lakers quickly made adjustments. What adjustments? Want us to change the way we play? No, our adjustment is to keep playing singles. It's just for the inside line.
Gasol singled in the low post, and the Spurs didn't have a real center on the bench, and the highest was Davis, who was 208CM. Bertans. In the first year of the season, it was a second-round show. How can this stop Gasol, who was an All-Star last year and can still get close to 17+11+4+2 all-around data? Impossible. Gasol's strength is no problem playing as a starter now, and many teams can be used as one of the main stars, and now he is playing as a substitute, which is called a relaxed and happy.
Efficiency and firepower go hand in hand.
As soon as Gasol made a move, the Spurs' strategy of continuous high pinch attack + mid switch defense was cracked, because even if they barely defended the high and middle lanes, what about the low post? I can't take care of it anymore. Do you think there is still Duncan as a defensive cornerstone in this team? And Gasol also saw through the flaws of this tactic by the way, and immediately attracted the defense after playing 2, and directly distributed the ball to the weak side of the bottom corner, and Yi Jianlian in the bottom corner shot a three-point shot and hit.
The Spurs are out of line, if they continue to play like this, they will collapse, the Lakers' bench is too strong, this combination does not seem expensive, but it is close to the team's starting strength. Popovich even felt that some of the starters of weak teams couldn't beat the Lakers' bench lineup.
In this case, I can only go to the star in advance to save the game, Aldridge went up in advance, and the effect is still there, but it is not particularly obvious, because Gasol's defense is very good, and the basket protection is even better. He can get in, and it will take a lot of effort. Popovich felt that the gains outweighed the losses when he saw this, because if Aldridge wanted to make a deal with Gasol, it was obviously a big loss for the Spurs. Changed Aldridge to the No. 4 position. This can be regarded as liberating a lot of Ade's attack power.
But it's not a way to hold on like this, as the Lakers slowly changed to a mixed lineup of main + substitutes, Ade was almost exhausted. He really wanted to scold his mother, and the Lakers directly put Tang Qianlai in the No. 4 position, this section was just to hold him down. In an instant, he was frozen in ice, completely dumbfounded. Although it was only a short-term strategy, it also made the Spurs lose consecutive offenses.
The Lakers made 3 of the last 4 free throws through Tang Qian in the second quarter to take the lead to 15 points.
Popovich was also calm enough, almost collapsed several times, and just endured not letting Leonard go early.
There is no problem in maintaining the fitness of at least one star.
In the third quarter, the Spurs were ready to get real and began to use Leonard to break the lineup, this time the Lakers chose Ariza and directly used Butler + Covington to form a wing forward, and at this time, Leonard suddenly felt that the offense was a little laborious. Butler, this guy doesn't say, this base-salary Covington actually defends so well? Better than Ariza? Not even a little better? How is this possible? Ariza has been a well-known defender for many years, hasn't she? Who is he Covington?
It is said that he played the Timberwolves that day, and Wiggins, who was in good shape, suffered a little loss.
Footwork + technique + smell + judgment + physical fitness and arm span are also better than Ariza, Leonard either can't play, or in the face of Covington, who may have surpassed the defensive ability of the second defense, his average of 25+ points per game is still barely enough. If you can play, it's a little difficult to fight against the Lakers with singles. Unless he erupts tonight, it's hard.
The No. 29 on the Lakers' side is completely like no one, whether it is Aldridge or anyone, they can't just stop him. That hit rate is compared to himself, and he can't stand it. At the beginning, Leonard was still steady, and in the middle of the third quarter, he was a little out of breath, there was no way wow, his side couldn't crack the offensive mode on the opposite side at all, and he couldn't stop the No. 29, what are you going to do?
Isn't the ratio of hit rate and success rate between an outside star and a super center super dinosaur looking for abuse?
Popovich made the final adjustment, because the margin had widened to more than 20 points, and he could only try it out. He adopted the Cavaliers' style of play against the Warriors, the center on the opposite side wanted to shoot, and the center of the Lakers couldn't shoot, so he just took care of going deep into the basket. The choice is to cut off the passing route, interfere with the passing route, and immediately use the big man's position depth to adjust the slow position rule after success, and quickly push the defense counterattack.
Well, it's a bit valuable, Popovich can really use any means, his learning ability is not weak, and he is not the kind of head coach who rests on his laurels. Unfortunately, there is a problem with this defensive strategy, that is, there is a prerequisite, you have to be able to block No. 29 and go deep into the basket, right? can't block it, what else do you say to interfere with the pass? Trust me, the Spurs tried their best inside, but they were all too small and too light. This gives Tang Qian, a giant, the possibility of fighting easily and easily taking the position.
didn't do it at all, but he was hit with an unstable center of gravity, and he was full of meat and vegetables.
This guy is the contemporary O'Neill at all! The inside line of the space is completely a food delivery for him! Could it be that in the future, there will be a new wave of "hoarding muscle sticks"? Otherwise, you won't be able to play at all. The space line can't even delay him to get the ball in the position, what else can he say? And then second...... The Lakers' point guard is Rondo now.
Rondo has been the assist king for many years, and his passing level is definitely the top in the league, and the Lakers are the core of the inner team, so they don't need to share any of his possession, which makes Rondo play very comfortably. A perennial peak who can maintain 10+ or even 11+ assists per game in the No. 1 position, you tell him to easily steal his passing route?
Who do you look down on?
Do you think this was the Rockets' outside passer?
This is Rondo, who was also the assist king last year. Do you take it for granted? Thought that other people's assist numbers exploded and were picked up? Therefore, there is no way, the Spurs did this, but it didn't work at all, and they still let the Lakers take what they want and wantonly bombard.
Some people on the Internet joked: It's time to clock out again tonight, when will the tyrant come up with 100% strength?
The regular season is rare, and let's look forward to the playoffs, everyone.
However, the opponent is not powerful.
Tang Qian easily 20+20+6 tonight, led the team to kill the Spurs, and won by 25 points. All 6 members of the Lakers team scored double-doubles, which can be described as a multi-point flower, and they all played well. Their stats in this game are more like Spurs than Spurs. What about the Spurs? Except for Leonard, who scored 30 points, Aldridge scored only 16 points, and the rest of the role players didn't score too many points. Not to mention the bench, which was directly run over by the Lakers.
After this game, a reporter asked Tang Qiandao, who do you think the Spurs are stronger or weaker than last year?
Tang Qian blurted out: Last year was strong.
The reporter went on to ask: Why? The Shuangde combination has obviously improved a lot this year compared to last year, isn't it?
Tang Qiandao: Because they are missing an old man, the overall team does not have that soul.
Reporter: That's it?
Tang Qiandao: That's it.
The Lakers defeated the Spurs by a big score at home, continued their unbeaten start, and continued to lead the league with 13 consecutive wins.
PS: The first update, I will add more tonight to pay off the debt~
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
