Chapter 835: First Defeat (There is another chapter~)
In the second quarter, the Lakers adjusted the pace and state of the game slightly, and D'Antoni wanted to play with speed, because in his style of play, speed and high-speed offensive and defensive transitions are a must. As long as the attack is fought, it doesn't hurt to defend the leakage and the defense is almost there. However, this problem has not been solved, because the Spurs seem to have anticipated, or have long practiced this tactical change for the Lakers, so Parker has followed Nash early, and then does not pursue any steals, but tries not to lose the position of the mark-to-man defense. Nash isn't close to 10 years ago in Phoenix, and he wants to be 32 years old. Parker, it was too difficult, so for insurance, Nash called a high block to come up.
But this ball Spurs have obviously been prepared for a long time, and the inside line will not go out at all, and directly use Danny. Green went to switch defenses, and then they used the new ones to go to the interior Burrese. Christian Dior goes to expand the defense of Nick on the outside. Poplar. Don't look at Dio as an insider, but he is only 203CM, and he used to be a little "depressed" in many teams, but after he came to the Spurs, he was activated by Popovich. Rejuvenated.
Defend? Who in the Nima Alliance dared to entrust this Frenchman with a heavy responsibility before? Defend? He is one of the famous defensive colanders. But the so-called teaching people according to their aptitude and making the best use of their talents, Popovich once again proved that if others don't use it well, he may be able to turn stones into gold. Last year, this plane and the original plane, this French fat man who was a little blessed actually made the famous LeBron. James, the league's No. 1 man, shot 1-of-8 from his single defense!! Although it was only an emergency replacement, it had a perfect effect.
Because his "defensive colander" is more caused by the incorrect positioning of the team and his own self-confidence, there is Kwame. When Brown brushed points, there were also times when Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant were successful. Yao Ming and Kobe? Isn't this an outside line and an inside line? 108,000 miles away? But that's exactly what happened, this guy, as long as he is in the right position and activated, he is the type of "jack-of-all-trades" that tactical teams need the most.
One can play five positions, and it can also prevent five positions, although none of them can be conventionally durable, but ...... That's what Popovich is capable of, constantly adjusting Dior's defense according to the game and the form. Generally speaking, this situation interrupts the state and feeling of the defender, but for Dior, it just "scratches the itch". He suddenly came to the Spurs and became an all-round warrior, and the original "four dislikes" were made into "jack-of-all-trades" by Popovich.
Temporary defense, he can be competent for almost any emergency.
And his height is not high, which also gives him faster footsteps and flexibility than ordinary insiders, but "Yang Shaoxia", who can basically only "throw and throw" when he goes out to mark, is just right. And in doing so, it also saves the Spurs time to switch defenses, and at the same time disrupts the overall rhythm of the Lakers. Even if it's Mike off the field. D'Antoni was a little stunned when he saw this scene.
Unexpectedly, the opponent won by surprise, but instead put the Lakers in a "backhand".
Backhand, which means that it is not smooth, not smooth, and deviates from the comfortable normal.
So, with the addition of Danny. Green has a strong pick-and-roll defense, and the Lakers' Nash is caught in a double bag.
If Nash hadn't been a master ball-handling master and had a lot of experience, the ball would have been tackled early in the morning.
But even he can't continue for a long time, and dragging it out is a mistake to go.
Nash could only pass the ball to Tang Qian, who was on the block, and Tang Qian hadn't gone down yet, but was just within one step of the three-point line. In this place, it is impossible for him to attack, whether it is a breakthrough or a long throw, he is looking for death. The former's long-range impact, calculated with the inertia of a big man over 7 feet, basically makes the defending team create offensive fouls, which is why many big men who NBA210CM go up basically never break through from a high position. It's either a matter of speed and explosiveness, or it's too much inertia, and it's extremely easy for opponents to take advantage of it and create offensive fouls. Here, it's not a wild court, it's the highest temple of basketball, and it has the most professional referees, and you do it in professional basketball, it's idiotic behavior. Even if the NBA is fully small-ball in the future, it will be an expansion of the range, do you think it is the breakthrough with the ball increased to the outside of the 3-point line?
With strong physical coordination like Durant, the ability to break through the top arc can only be regarded as passing, and it is more about blocking and breaking through and jumping shots. This is especially evident in the playoffs, where Durant's lack of ability to hold the ball will be magnified in the stronger the game. Tang Qian is much taller and stronger than Durant, and playing like this is to let the Spurs "cheat and foul". He doesn't think that with the tactical quality of the San Antonio Spurs, they won't go all the way and wait for him to drill. Don't think about the high-level breakthrough, shoot the high-post? I'll go, it's better to let Tang Qian break through. The hit rate is actually about the same.
Anyway, it's scary-low, so low that you cry.
Usually with Nash's control, he can control this kind of ball steadily, and wait for Tang Qian to move without the ball before giving the ball, so that the big man can reduce dribbling or even not dribble, and after receiving the ball, he can directly attack the basket or kill the basket. This is also the greatest power of Tang Qian's unballed down. But the Spurs' goal made Nash unable to wait for Tang Qian to move, so he could only play the ball in advance, and this was the result, Tang Qian was "nailed" in place!
It's crucified in place! Don't move!
You say you don't attack, Nima is empty for you all over the field, or a big vacant position of "2 meters unmanned", do you say you can't vote?
You say you attack, Tang Qian himself knows that it is better to give someone else a strong shot, maybe the hit will be more reliable than his own shot from this location.
You said you pass the ball, and now the Spurs are staring at the defender, that is, to prevent you from passing, the passing line and intention are completely exposed, and now passing the ball like this, the chance of being tackled in the middle is definitely not small. And being stealed from this position is inevitably a long-drive fast-break ball.
There was no way, after a period of hesitation, Tang Qian could only make a bold move, basketball ...... It almost didn't stick to it, and it almost became an air balloon.
This is also expected, entered, that is the blessing of the heavens, and the luck is bursting.
Throughout the second quarter, the Lakers were still trapped, feeling like their whole body was being squeezed and restrained, and they couldn't let go of their hands and feet.
That's what the Spurs want, and their research on the Lakers is obviously more thorough and targeted.
Suppressing his opponent's arrogance from the start, Popovich's plan began to take the first step.
Lakers? On the surface, it is a strong team, but in fact it is a team that is forcibly supported by a group of players with good individual ability. Even if there is no organization and tandem of the No. 10 player, it is a separate attack and a scattered set. Such a team may be difficult for others to deal with, but it is not too difficult for the Spurs this season. Popovich is absolutely confident in this team that has been carefully polished for several years.
Because every person, every tactic, he personally worked hard, and this team in the entire NBA, he must be unique. Even if you look at it in the whole history, it is the only one.
The only team that is truly a master of tactics, and internally, there is not the slightest disharmony and instability.
Such a team has countless times stronger execution than ordinary teams, and it is also Popovich's ability to break free from the famous teacher Larry in recent years. The masterpiece of Brown's Last Shadow. Of course, finding the most comfortable path is not achieved overnight, even if the head coach is as great as Popovich, there have been many deviations and mistakes along the way. But that's all in the past, because the current Spurs are a team that he feels very happy with.
As Larry. Brown's disciple, Popovich truly achieved the best of the blue.
Popovich once said something that may not be known to many people, but it is actually what his basketball philosophy has changed over the years: I hope that the Spurs will one day know how to play basketball even without superstars.
It seems simple and unpretentious, but it exudes a huge basketball philosophy and truth.
What he wants to build is a real team.
It's as simple as that.
And now Tang Qian is very lucky and unfortunate at the same time, the team in front of him is a real team!
I can't use the word team to describe it, it's the team, which is N times stronger than when he faced it last year!
And it's strong from the inside out, including the desire to win the championship and the ambition for revenge.
Such a team is very terrifying, the spirit is overflowing, the players are also in a strong state, and with strong execution, the Lakers not only did not catch up with the score difference in the second quarter, but were pulled bigger and bigger. At halftime, Los Angeles trailed San Antonio by almost 17 points at home.
This situation was something that no one expected, and the other side of the ocean was a little anxious, and some media in the United States were a little excited.
originally thought it would be a dragon battle, but I didn't expect that after halftime, it was almost one-sided, and the Spurs under the leadership of Popovich used a group of "balloon stars" + "old man" supporting roles to beat the star-stricken-star Lakers, which was a bit of a parry.
Celestial Empire Sports Station.
"Oh, it can't be played like this, the Spurs' defense is just right every time, but the Lakers didn't improve much in the second quarter, and they haven't been able to show what they won this season." Zhang Weiping said: "We must play more reasonably. ”
Playing more reasonably? How reasonable? In fact, Zhang Weiping himself didn't know.
Because the team the Lakers are facing now is known as the most reasonable team in NBA history.
This is also the most "hated" team of any game company, because it is difficult to quantify in the data, and the players are not very strong in individual ability, but they are still amazingly destructive. This is really sad for some basketball game development companies.
And the Lakers ...... Since the founding of the NBA, I didn't know what reasonable basketball was.
You suddenly want them to "put it together" with the Spurs, a little bit of an egg hitting a stone.
In the third quarter, D'Antoni still didn't perceive the real danger and still hoped to rely on Nash to rise up and open up the situation, but tonight, Popovich taught him another lesson. Just like the season series when he was first crowned NBA Head Coach of the Year. Run, I'm sorry, I can't beat us.
That season, this season, even more.
Don't you think it's a bit whimsical that you want to rely on a 40-year-old Nash to force a break?
Now that's the case, Steve. If Nash doesn't rely on high pick-and-roll, it's basically hard to break through his opponent, Frenchman Tony. Parker's. Although Nash relied on his height to pull a few, playing like this is not his way, and it is impossible to continue forever. Sure enough, after hitting two three-pointers, Nash's top-shot three-point shooting percentage began to decline. He's not a particularly physical No. 1 position, and Parker just needs to stay out of position and have defensive interference in place.
In terms of three-point shooting, Nash is very accurate, but the top man is strong and shooting, not a strong point.
It can be occasional, not routine.
So until the end of this game, the Lakers were in a big score behind, and they never led their opponents once in the whole game.
From the scene point of view, this is just one word, complete defeat.
The defeat was complete and complete, and there was no reason to talk about it.
In the whole game, the Spurs scored a total of 111 points, what about the Lakers? Just 90 points. There is also a part of the reason for the last garbage time, which played a wave of useless little climaxes of 11-2. Lose, no temper at all.
Even in the whole game, the "Four Heavenly Kings" played for more than 40+ minutes except for Tang Qian, which was to no avail.
In fact, even Tang Qian played more than 35 minutes in this game, and in the end, he was obviously a little nervous physically.
A 21-point defeat! Caught with one's pants down! But it's so real! So ruthless!
The Lakers' shooting percentage is not high in the whole game, only just 4 percent, which is because the bench helped pull it in the last time, otherwise it will only be more ugly. No. 24, which has the highest hit rate, also has a hit rate of only 45%! This is compared to his shooting percentage this season, and his overall peak state this season, which is considered unqualified! Because Kobe Bryant's shooting rate is very high so far, with Nash, his off-ball efficiency has skyrocketed, and it has exceeded 58%, almost 59%, which is a lot higher than the overall 49.7% of the regular season! That's the magic of Nash!
Kobe Bryant, who was at the end of the peak tail of the original time and space in the 12-13 season, could play an average of 26.4 + 5.7 + 5.4 per game in more than a dozen games during that time, and the shooting rate was even more exaggerated 52.8% + 40.5% + 89.5%, but Nash was injured and the team couldn't win in this mode, so No. 24 had to change back to the previous style of play. It was only at the end of the season that Nash, so the power of No. 24 + No. 10 could only be seen in the playoffs. It's unbelievably high.
Therefore, Kobe Bryant only got a 45% shooting rate in this game, which is equivalent to dragging down a lot of shooting percentage in the playoffs all of a sudden.
And the decline ratio has reached 13~14%, no matter how you look at it, it is perfectly defended.
The young man who seemed to be a little "paralyzed" by the Spurs gave Kobe a very deep impression tonight.
Of course, Nash was limited tonight, and Bryant's few shots without the ball were also a reason.
followed by Nash, who also broke through 4 percent of the shooting rate, and the rest of the main forces, none of them had a shooting rate of more than 4 percent. Gasol and Tang Qian both did a terrible job of attacking the interior tonight, and their shooting percentages were very low.
The main inside shooting rate in the whole game was less than 4 percent, and more than 3 percent hits, which was simply completely prevented. The Spurs' low-post defense this season has reached a pole and is terrifyingly strong. The team perfectly made up for the lack of individual defense.
As long as Tang Qian and Gasol feel the attack, there are not a few times when they only have 2 hands by their side.
The Lakers' Kobe Bryant scored 32 in the whole game, and the rest were not very good-looking, and the second most points were actually Nick on the bench. Young, who had a good performance in the final "garbage time" tonight, scored a high score of 19 points in the game. Gasol only scored 11 points in this game, and he took 11 shots, plus free throws, and the efficiency tonight was too low. Tang Qian scored less, only 7 points, grabbed 14 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 assist, and no steals.
What about the Spurs? Except for Parker, who scored 25 points, the rest of the players scored scatteredly, and none of them scored 20 alone. 7 people in the field are doubles! The number of assists reached 30! And there were only 4 turnovers in the whole game!! Only 4 times!!
That means the Lakers don't have the slightest chance to capitalize on the turnover.
The Lakers made 15 turnovers in the game, which is not too much, but compared to the opponent, the base is not on the same level.
Losing is a big defeat, both on paper and in numbers.
There is no excuse for the defeat.
The Lakers went 1-0 and lost the first series at home.
