The Spurs' offense is very fluid, and basically when they can't open it, they give Parker a hard attack on Nash.

In addition to that, they play mainly in space, which means reducing physical contact, creating space with passing, and trying to shoot under little defensive pressure. It doesn't sound difficult, but in the playoffs you want to do it, so far, there are not many teams in history who have been able to do it. It's a bit "unbelievable" that this Spurs team can still run the ball so smoothly under high-intensity defense. Fortunately, the Lakers also have their own strengths, 2 single-point super explosions, one inside and one outside, occupying 2 absolute offensive and defensive advantages, plus the return of Nash, the team's style of play and overall sense have also returned to normal.

The Lakers made some adjustments for the last game, in order to prevent the Spurs from cutting off the passing route and interfering with the passing path, Steve. Nash, gotta be on the court. When he's on the court, basically the Spurs' approach won't succeed and will expose their defensive problems.

is still the same sentence, Duncan basically can't defend the current Tang Qian, even tonight, the latter is really declining, "Yintang is black", and 30% of his competitive state is deducted by the "heart demon". 7% of the firepower "gods descend to earth" firepower, there is still almost 26+~35+ energy, which is probably between first-class scorers and super scorers. But what kind of play can be made depends on Tang Qian himself.

But at the moment, even if it is the lower limit, a No. 5 position with 26+ scoring ability, the league does not have it at present.

Howard's peak is the 22+ scoring ceiling, which is still a big gap from the first-class scorer.

When was the last time you could get 25+ points per game, that is, the No. 5 position in the realm of first-class scorers? Who is it? The answer, which may surprise many people, is Stoudemire. After the 10-11 season, it will not be until the 15-16 season that the center position will average 25+ points per game in the next game. He is DeMarcus. Cousins. But it's only the 13-14 season, so the league hasn't had a No. 5 with top-notch scoring ability for many years, and there's no problem.

This is only Tang Qian's minimum scoring ability in this game, if you go up, then there is basically nothing to say.

But compared with the last game and the last game, it was still a lot worse, and it was forced to lose 2% of the scoring ability.

Tang Qian + Kobe Bryant basically ensures that the Lakers' offense is absolutely powerful, and it doesn't need any fast break and offensive and defensive conversion, which is as stable. It just needs someone to get the ball in place. That's why Nash is there. But again, since Nash has chosen to put Nash on the court, then the problems that arise will follow.

That's the defense, and this point will definitely be completely blown out as before.

In fact, it's not that Parker still has the strongest scoring ability, if you look at it, this is the peak tail of his last season. So why is it still so strong in this series? It's not because of ...... Steve. Nash, the defense is really scum to the extreme. The 40-year-old Nash didn't play in the playoffs in the original time and space, but last season he was a complete "ATM", and when he is a year older, he will only get worse, decline even more, and definitely not better.

So Nash's defense is too scummy, which highlights Parker's scoring ability as if he is back at the top.

It's not good to break the Spurs' defensive strategy if it's not Nash, so the tone of the Lakers in this game is to focus on offense, and strive to score more points to reduce the side effects of Nash's point. On the defensive end, it depends on the performance of the players on the field, and D'Antoni does not have much to do on this side. After all, his defensive aspect has never been seen.

But who knows, the Spurs also put on an unexpected overall strategy in this game.

Fight against the Lakers.

Why? Popovich's decision was also made after many considerations. Because he has discovered that the eastern center has a bit of a continuous explosion of personal offensive state. This situation has also occurred in history, and many players suddenly performed very eye-catching in a series of rounds. For example, Danny in the finals last year. Green, three-point shooting rate soared to more than 55%! It's a bit surprising no matter how you look at it. Nenad. Kostic, Biyombo, Nene and Joe in the 16-17 season. Johnson, the finals robbed Bird FMVP of Cedric. Maxwell, the same Iguodala, Roy 12-13 in the Eastern Conference Finals. Hibbert blah blah However, it can erupt like this, and it is like opening up the "second vein of Rendu" of the attack, which is really rare. Popovich first lined up this lineup to see if the Lakers' No. 29 was still the same as in the previous games, and the result, although it "declined", it was still amazing enough.

There are too many "real strengths" far beyond his own.

After all, in the regular season, Tang Qian was a player who averaged 12.2 points per game.

That being the case, it made Popovich even more determined to continue playing with this lineup.

Because he knows very well that no matter how defensive the Spurs are, it is difficult to withstand such two offensive super strong points, which does not mean that you can solve it by engaging in tactics and joint defense. To a certain extent, the mode of defense doesn't really matter anymore. The "Bad Boy Army", known as the toughest defense in the 80s, wasn't it also scored by Jordan with more than 30+ points in the series?

You say you want to limit a super scorer completely, which is a bit too much.

Even a top-notch scorer is hard to do.

Since the 2 points are destined to be blown out, Popovich also came up with a "strange move", he directly let the Spurs and the Lakers attack, trying to go off the rails and seek the greatest chance of victory. Some people will ask, the Spurs don't have a first-class scorer this season, and they fight with the Lakers to attack? Isn't that funny? Wrong, the Spurs are taken out of a single point, which is indeed not good-looking, not as good as the Lakers, but their strength lies in the overall operation. Playing against individual scoring points with the whole, that's Popovich's method. If you really think that basketball is a simple addition of strong points, why did the "F4" of the Lakers' original time and space lose so badly last year? In fact, a single point has an advantage.

As for the Lakers to use Nash to break the defense, Popovich doesn't care, anyway, the Spurs have a lot of routines, and if one doesn't work, just change the other. Besides, he doesn't believe that Nash can support the whole court, so it's a big deal to wait for the Lakers' No. 10 to get off the court before continuing.

And as Duncan said, than the offense, this Spurs team, in fact, will not be afraid of anyone.

At the end of the first quarter, both sides scored 38 points, which seemed to be exactly the same, but the main scoring styles of the two teams were completely different. The Lakers are dominated by superstar basketball, while the Spurs are average, with the tallest individual scoring in more than double digits. However, after replacing Nash, it is true that the Lakers do not have the embarrassing situation of not giving the pass in the last game.

In the second quarter, the Lakers really did not replace Tang Qian and Kobe, the two of them have played a full game recently, and the Spurs have been surprised by this situation recently. The Lakers dare to play like this, but the Spurs don't dare, their physical strength is limited, so what Popovich means in this section is to try his best to defend and buy time for the GDP combination to rest and recover.

Otherwise, there will be no strength left to make a "big move" that determines the outcome of the game.

The second quarter was a relatively passive time for the Spurs, but as long as they pushed past it, they could seize the corner of the victory.

Tang Qian took advantage of Duncan's absence in this quarter and began to score vigorously, the Spurs' existing lineup was completely unlimited, and if they were united, Tang Qian would pass the ball out, allowing Kobe Bryant to play alone or give Nash a chance to pass the ball again. Tang Qian scored 15 points in this quarter of the game, he and Kobe Bryant always have one person to exert power, and now the Spurs can't easily interfere with and cut off their passes, so the situation is instantly passive.

Popovich made the Spurs show a side that no other team has, that is, the comprehensive execution and combat effectiveness of the bench are still one gear higher than all teams in the league. He made a little tweaking here to get the Spurs to do a "pseudo-triangle". It should be noted here that the three-corner position is actually a not uncommon thing in the NBA league, and it is not only Phil. Jackson used it. The three-corner position and the three-triangle offensive tactical system are not simply the same thing.

This is equivalent to forming a strong side here, and the essence of this change is that the strong and weak sides transfer the attack.

Moreover, it is necessary to use one of the least expected people of the Lakers to come out and execute the shot.

Who is this person? This person is actually Matt who plays the No. 4 position. Banner ???

Why him? The reason is, Matt. Bonner has an accurate 3-point shooting ability, and this guy's career three-point shooting rate is as high as 41%, and this season is approaching 43%, which can be said to be a fairly stable open battery. However, he has a problem, that is, his mental quality is average, so he can't play key shots and stalemate balls, so Popovich generally doesn't use this player much in the second half of the playoffs. But it's only the first half, and it's relatively less pressure on the whole court. Bonner came out to play this ball, and it wasn't too much of a gamble.

Brush~

Matt. Bonner was also very competitive tonight, scoring one at the start, and basically this ball didn't come under any defensive pressure. Why, you ask? One is the previous three-corner position, which allows most of the Lakers' defensive attention to focus on the strong side, and the second is Paul. Gasol, he can't defend himself at all now.

This problem has actually appeared when playing the 10-11 season playoffs against the Mavericks, and Gasol when he was young can actually save out, and his mobility and mobility are also good in 7 feet. But now that he is over 30 years old, he can't avoid the problem of being a big European man, that is, his athletic performance, which is declining rapidly. This includes mobility and mobility.

He will be 34 years old in 1 month, and at this age, he still needs to stay on the inside.

That's why he doesn't want to go out more and more now, and prefers to stay in the box more and more. Because he no longer has the maneuverability of his youth. If you get out, that's also a thankless situation. In the regular season, Tang can also go out, and now, what is it that makes Tang Qianqian go out is not a "violent thing"? In the state of "God descends to earth", he is the person who should be nailed to the basket and nailed to the forbidden area.

Otherwise, for the Lakers' interior protection and rebounding, it will drop significantly.

In just 3 minutes, the Spurs' Matt. Bonner actually took advantage of this to hit Gasol on five three-pointers, three of which he hit. The Lakers' offense for several rounds was in vain. There's no way around it, Mike. D'Antoni could only temporarily remove Gasol and replace him with a younger and more energetic Jordan. Hill went up. Why not Thackeray and Wren. Kelly? Because these two people are too tall, it is not conducive to the expansion of the outside line. Anyway, Matt. Bonner is an open spot shooter, and it's okay to use it as a temporary tactic, as long as the defense follows up, he has almost no three-point long shooting ability, and can only be used as a possible threat point to open up space.

To put it mildly, Tang Qian's state of "God descending to earth" does not need the help of the Twin Towers at all, and one person can handle the inside line under the basket. The "other tower" at most defends a little bit and rebounds to help the top man in the position, and in addition, there are not too many "opportunities to show his face". If you can't get out, it's a very bad situation.

Three-point shooting, one is okay, coming continuously, scoring continuously, too demoralizing.

Replace it with Jordan. Hill, in Mike. Under D'Antoni's repeated advice, he did not "make his own decisions" anymore and did not squat under the basket as usual to "brush up on data", which can be regarded as temporarily suppressing the Spurs' offensive routine.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kobe Bryant hit Leonard hard and hit.

Don dive caught the ball deep into the basket and then easily shredded Brazilian Thiago. Split's solo defense, shooting to score.

The Lakers relied on these two points to score non-stop, and finally gradually opened up the score difference, and by about 3 minutes left in the second quarter, Los Angeles had a 58-50 lead over the Spurs by 8 points.

Beep ~ The Spurs called a timeout.

Popovich looked at the group of "big men" of the GDP portfolio and asked, "How is it?" Have you rested enough? ”

The three nodded.

"Now that you've had enough rest, let's get on the court and kick the Los Angeles people in the ass. And yes. ”

"In your next game, I guess you don't have any time to rest, are you mentally prepared?"

……

Tang Qian began to relax his heartstrings a little, he felt that Duncan's words before the game were "exaggerated".

What hasn't been done before? What do you use with all your strength, and you don't know how strong you are? It's all a lie, right?

If it were true, would the Spurs still be beaten like this?

The main reason is that I don't think that the people of San Antonio have become particularly strong.

It doesn't even feel as competitive as the previous games.

But at this moment, the Spurs made a new substitution, replacing the starting lineup, and this lineup is equivalent to rebounding and interior defense being weakened again. Dio is still a little shorter in this regard, not as good as the Brazilian Split. And this lineup has been fought before, and I don't think it's too exaggerated. Anyway, Tang Qian thinks that he has a great deal of confidence in this lineup and tears up the Spurs' inner line.

However, as soon as Duncan walked up, he said to Tang Qian, "Hey, hot, it's going to start." ”

hat？ What is going to start? But you're lagging behind now, okay? Don't act like you're ahead!!

And you shrink the inside so much to protect the rebound, basically don't think about any defensive counterattacks, do you think the 8-pointer will be caught up so easily? Don't think that our Lakers' defense is really paper-mâché!!

The Spurs attacked, and sure enough, there was still no sign of playing fast, that is, the normal dribble passed the half court, and then began to settle into their respective positions, preparing for this round of offense. The offense was launched from the top arc, and Parker passed Steve as he crossed the early morning road. Nash, when he came in, was defended by No. 29 forward. What Tang Qian has to do now is Garnett's defensive method, using his super high agility to surpass the speed of the No. 5 position to come out to defend. And he won't be like Gasol defending a small man, he doesn't dare to stick too tightly every time, for fear of being passed by one step, so that he is easy to be treated by the opponent's emergency stop dribbling.

Like Paul and Nash when they were still in the Suns before, including Parker, they actually beat Gasol like this, which is also a small way to play big. But this method can't be used to deal with Tang Qian, because Tang Qian's position is relatively high, if Parker dares to pull it up, he will throw, he must be a big hat fanned out, making the French disgraced.

However, Parker didn't make a move, and he made a ground-hitting pass to get the ball into the inside line behind Don's sneak.

This ball is about to go to the bottom, and it is also a common way to deal with strong defensive interiors.

Pulling it out and then stuffing the ball into it is considered to be "turning the tiger off the mountain".

But this method is okay to deal with the general No. 5 position, but it is not so easy to deal with people with physical fitness like Tang Qian. For example, if you look at Garnett when he was still at his peak, even if it was only at the tail of his peak, this approach was basically ineffective for him. Because his reflexes and movements and his footsteps are enough to keep up, he can catch up with the second defense or direct counterattack.

That's why Garnett's presence on the defensive end is so high.

Blocks may not be an exaggeration, but blocks are just a way to defend, and it is best to block them directly, but as long as you can make the opponent's shots miss, it is a very successful defense. The cap is really just the icing on the cake.

Just because you can't do it doesn't mean you're not good at defending.

Tang Qian is such a defender, and his defensive control range is all over the three-point line.

If necessary, it's not impossible to let him make up for it and go out of the three-point line.

So as soon as Parker passed the ball, he turned around and found someone again, and found that the basketball had been handed to Ginobili who cut in on the left. Ginobili started with the ball and looked like he was going to attack the Lakers' basket directly from the baseline. Although it is a bit of a distance, it is not particularly difficult for Tang Qian to move over. But just as he was about to start, he found himself suddenly blocked, and when he looked up, it was not Tim. Who is Duncan again?

Ginobili hit the basket and directly caused Jordan. Hill was fouled on defense while he also scored the goal.

2+1！ The Spurs scored 3-pointers in one go.

Tang Qian was a little depressed, he was a little careless, and he forgot that the Spurs' No. 21 was a complete low-post strategy master. Why the Spurs' offense is so fluid, to a large extent, the response of the No. 21 has helped the entire Spurs' offensive system to function.

This kind of ability, purely in the data, is not visible at all.

"Next time it won't be so easy for you! Damn it! After Tang Qian finished speaking, the Spurs No. 21 replied: "There is no next time." ”

Ha? No next time? What's the situation? What do you mean?

Immediately, Tang Qian would know what Duncan meant.

PS: Tomorrow 10,000 words will continue to erupt!! Spelled !!

Let's do it together!!!!!!!!!!!!!
