Chapter 540: Guarding Against Duncan Tonight (Part I)
It is the best point to see whether you have a sense of presence in a team, whether you have a foothold, or even whether you have prestige, and whether you can change the subjective orientation of your teammates on the field. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Just now Tang Qian stopped Jordy Meeks' desire to shoot and let him turn to passing, which is what Duncan noticed.
And clearly, Duncan is still in Jodi. Did Meeks see some timidity and fear on his face?
Duncan is worthy of being a psychology major, and after entering the NBA, he obtained a master's degree certificate from Wake Forest University through self-study, which alone made him more calm and calm than others on the basketball court. And many people may not know that there is another important point in psychology, that is, to be discerning.
Judging the psychological state of the other party through a little detail is also a compulsory science.
That's why Duncan was able to discover Jodi. A hint of nervousness flashed across Meeks' face.
It is definitely no coincidence that a 2nd grade rookie in China wants a 4th grader who has played the main team to show such a micro-expression.
This illustrates that in just over a season, the 29th has completed its roots in the team.
Such a speed, if it weren't for Jordan James Bird, who was the core cornerstone as soon as he entered the team, it would almost be called "god speed". The NBA is a small society, don't think it's so easy to get around, Jordan's rookie has been in the shadow for several years, and has been stumped, not to mention the Los Angeles Lakers, who have countless bigwigs on the team this season?
This little guy ...... What a hand.
However, Duncan doesn't know that the reason why Meeks is so "obedient" is not because of how high Tang Qian's status and prestige are on the Lakers, but really just simple fear and fear!
This Oriental, but a monster who can "fall with monsters", offended him, so why not? Is the locker room going to be a good mix?
This was Meeks' true mood at that moment.
Just after the second quarter and a half, Mr. Popovich couldn't help but call a timeout first, because the Lakers gradually caught up with the score difference, and only 3-pointers remained. That was also the result of Parker making two three-pointers from the outside.
To know Tony. Parker's three-point shooting skills have never been reliable, and he himself is also very "acquainted", averaging only 1.3 three-point shots per game in his career, which shows what kind of attitude Parker has towards his three-point shots. Basically, it's not that there is no way, he won't throw it outside.
But halfway through the second quarter, he had already thrown three, and even if he hit two times, Popovich still felt a little surprised. "Tony, is the Lakers' interior so hard to tear?" Waiting for Parker to arrive, Popovich asked.
"Well, it's not easy." After Parker took the sweat-absorbing towel, he wiped his face and said, "The Lakers tonight, the interior defensive energy is amazing. "To be able to say this to the "French sports car" has proved that the Lakers' interior defense ability is very strong.
To know that this season is still Tony. In Parker's last peak season, not to mention the average of 20+ points per game, 7+ assists and 3+ rebounds are all a comprehensive high after the 08-09 season. So there is no need to say much about the All-Star team, and he is also on the list in this season's best team selection, and he will fight for the second team.
Such a person said that the Lakers' interior defense was amazing, which actually explained the problem.
"Really? Gasol + that Chinese inside combination, defensive energy is so strong? As soon as Popovich finished speaking, Parker shook his head and said: "No, it's not like this, Gasol and the Chinese center are very compatible, but on the defensive end, at least tonight, Gasol's contribution is not big." ”
"What do you mean...... It's all the credit of the Eastern center? Popovich asked as he heard Parker.
"Not to say completely, it's at least 80 percent, and I'm like I'm playing against the peak monster of the Orlando period, and it's very difficult to get close to the basket." Parker said: "That's why we play so passively with this lineup. Popovich nodded, he glanced at Duncan, and said, "So Tim, do you want to rest for this game, or go up and play?" ”
The Spurs' interior players, who are not very good alone, can be matched with Thiem. Duncan, you can make a difference in an instant. Unleash the ability that a single person can't play far with.
This is also the soul of the Spurs, the power of "Stone Buddha".
But now that Duncan is older, Popovich often compresses the former's playing time in the regular season in order to take care of him and recharge his batteries. Sometimes back-to-back, just "take turns off" and find an excuse to let David. Stern felt the slightest "headache".
But you don't have a very good way to "sanction" him, who called the Spurs stable, ten years as a day? Even if you take a few turns off, people can still win and still have a good winning rate. It's the same this season, Duncan is on April 25, 1976, which means he will celebrate his 37th birthday in about ten days. Popovich "took care" of the latter more and more in order to achieve the final peak of the "Stone Buddha".
For a regular season win like this, he would selectively ask for the opinion of the Spurs' No. 21 "rookie."
If he's not interested, then don't go up.
If he wants to go up and have fun, then go up and play and see if he can turn the tide.
Duncan's status in San Antonio is already comparable to that of Jordan, the "God of Basketball".
After all, all the championship trophies in this city are related to him and brought by him, so he has this qualification and privilege.
"I'll go up and try it." Duncan took off his warm training uniform and said, "That No. 29 of the Lakers, I'm a little interested." ”
"Okay, then I'll change people later, you go up, and play the No. 5 position." Popovich also did not talk nonsense and decisively gave a tactical order.
At 37-40, the Lakers played well in the first half of the second quarter, allowing the Spurs to score only a measly 6 points.
If it weren't for Parker's good hand, maybe the Spurs would be behind right now.
However, after the timeout, the Spurs' lineup changed.
The No. 5 position became Tim. Duncan, the No. 4 position became Thiago. Split, Parker rests, Manu. Ginobili came on the court to attack and became the first shot point on the outside. This is Popovich's usual tactical change, except for the first quarter, the GDP combination is basically staggered in the middle of the game, not only the physical fitness has been guaranteed, but the team's strength will not decline rapidly because of the main team.
It's not for nothing that the Spurs have been at the top of the league for more than a decade in bench scoring.
Popovich's mastery of the San Antonio Spurs is truly unmatched.
Spurs offense, Tim. Duncan asked for the ball in the low post, and then sat with his back to Tang Qian, as if he wanted to break the Lakers' interior momentum.
He has already seen that most of the Spurs' interior offense has been defended by this No. 29, which makes the San Antonio players have an instinctive fear in their hearts. If you want to solve this problem, it is not difficult, just take out this No. 29 on the offensive end.
One-on-one duel is even more effective with half the effort.
Tang Qian wanted to squeeze the opponent hard and make the opponent unable to receive the outside pass, but Duncan's lower game was really stable and the card position was solid, so he still easily got the basketball.
After Duncan got the ball, he began to attack in the low post, and after two or three collisions, he quickly turned around and then shot.
To be honest, this ball looks extremely ordinary, and I can't see any outstanding feeling, but Tang Qian was stunned and didn't defend it, allowing the opponent to successfully throw this goal in a low position.
"You're a strong boy, come on." After Duncan scored, he turned around and returned to defense, only throwing Tang Qian's NBA "idiot" words.
At 37-42, the margin was extended to 5 points.
Tang Qian looked at the figure of No. 21 of the Spurs, first stunned, and then not depressed, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and said: "Good basic skills, good simplification, good strong Tim. Duncan, but I'm not going to throw in the towel easily. ”
"Wait and see, Rookie 21."
