Chapter 584: The True Strength of the San Antonio Spurs (For the Burning Alliance Leader~)

"I didn't expect the Los Angeles Lakers to do this, it was really unexpected. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" After Popovich and other players got off the field, he didn't reprimand, but said alone: "Since that's the case, then let's show real skills, the next ball, implement the No. 19 offensive tactic, and the defensive end Tim you see the situation." ”

The Spurs' No. 21 nodded, and at this time he said a digression, "Grieg, how much salary space do we have next season?" Is there 10 million? Popovich was slightly stunned, but quickly guessed the meaning of the former's words: "No, Tim, it should be more than five or six million dollars above the salary cap." ”

Although Popovich is only the head coach, he has great authority in the Spurs' uniform group, so to speak, he used to be both the head coach and the general manager of the Spurs, although it was not for a long time, but who knew that the "initial team" of the Spurs was created by Popovich? The core team of '94, R.C. Buford, Hank. Egan, Mike. Budenholzer and others followed Popovich to root in the Spurs, and instantly put the San Antonio Spurs into a 20-year boom.

So Popovich doesn't look like he's in management or in the uniform group, it's just an illusion, look at what he's really like, in addition to not being the general manager, he's the executive chairman of the Spurs, besides...... This old man is also the president of basketball affairs for the Spurs Group!!

Moreover, the current general manager of the team, R.C. Buford, is still the "core team" brought over by Popovich when he came back then.

So I have to say that everything Popovich is now with the Spurs is what "Zen Master" Jackson wanted in Chicago and Los Angeles back then. But unfortunately, there are very few owners like the Spurs in the NBA, so "Zen Master" Jackson does not have this blessing and blessing. Therefore, it is not surprising that the former knows the Spurs' salary space well.

The league salary cap of the NBA next season is $58.67 million, while the salary structure of the Spurs, plus five or six million, is about $63 million ~ $64 million. A penny, two halves, this has been the truth of NBA small city teams for many years.

"What about the luxury line? Will it touch? Duncan asked, because the Spurs have a reasonable salary structure all year round, which usually doesn't touch the luxury line, and there are only two luxury tax payments in history, so he has to ask this question. Although Popovich is the head coach, he is also quite familiar with the scope of work of the uniform team, and after a little thought, he said: "The luxury line for next season is estimated to be between 71 million ~ 72 million US dollars, and if you want to leave tens of millions of space, it is estimated that you will hit this line." ”

"Really?" Duncan thought for a moment and said, "If I can sign that kid, I'm willing to take a slight salary cut and try not to touch the luxury line." Popovich looked at No. 21 and said, "Do you think he will be in the 10 million level next season?" Tim? Duncan blurted out without hesitation: "Of course, and I think we should grab it as soon as possible, and then sign a long-term contract with it, otherwise the cost of retaining people in the future will definitely be more than this price." ”

"His off-court style is a bit flamboyant...... Popovich didn't finish speaking, and the Spurs No. 21 said: "That's because he's in Los Angeles, the city of angels, and if he comes to San Antonio, I think he will definitely change subtly and slowly." Besides, Grieg, there's a shortage of strong blue-collar workers in the team right now, and if he comes, I think I can put more into the offensive end to help the team as much as possible. ”

Popovich smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Tim, I know what you think, but I can really sign him, I think Pete. Mr. Holt will not skimp on this luxury tax! Don't really think we're a 'door-picker', as long as it's worth the money, then I think Pete. Both Mr. Holt and Buford would nod decisively. Duncan nodded his head and said, "Well, Greg, let's win this one first." ”

Popovich replied, "Of course, Tim, you don't want to get discouraged halfway." ”

"Don't worry, I'll keep it going." Spurs No. 21 said with a flat face.

Just when Tang Qian thought that the Lakers could overtake in one breath and then beat the Spurs, Greg. For the first time, Popovich and the GDP combination made him understand that basketball can still be played like this. In the NBA, tactics are an elusive thing, and if used well, it can improve the success rate of offense, and the success rate of defense, if not used well, it is simply "self-defeating" and "self-defeating", and American players are not as dependent on pure tactics as European and Asian players. Moreover, the tactics are too simple, and there is no need to practice at all, and each team is almost the same.

But there's one team in the league that's known for its tactical richness and even complexity, and that's right, the San Antonio Spurs. How rich are the Spurs' tactics? In Leonard's words, if the rest of the league has 100 species, the Spurs add up to at least 200. Do you think it's cool? The more tactics you have, the better the team's system? It turns out that, quite the opposite, what does it mean? Mastering 7~8 tactical runs may be the best choice over the years!

Take the Chicago Bulls before "Zen Master" Jackson as an example, in those days, the head coach of the Bulls was Doug Brown. Collins, what is his tactical philosophy? It's the famous "A.play.a.day"! The so-called "one tactical concept a day"! At that time, in the NBA, the Chicago Bulls' tactics were definitely the most abundant and rich, and in the end the richness became heavy, verbose, and burdensome. In general, in NBA games, needless to say, simple tactics are similar to each team, mainly exclusive tactics and special tactics that distinguish them from other teams. The number of this kind of tactics is about 7~15 for ordinary teams, and it will not exceed 20. Because no matter how much, it will be difficult for the players to run in tacit understanding and master proficiency, after all, practicing a tactic also consumes a lot of time.

Before the 90s, Doug. In Collins's hands, the Bulls players must remember about 50 or more, according to Jordan's own recollection, there are about 50 or more, and the former also likes to frequently add "new inspiration" and "new tactics". As a result, in fact, the "tactical burden" of the Bulls is quite large, and it takes a lot of daily time for players to memorize and familiarize themselves with tactics, and the results have historically proved not to be very good.

On the other hand, the "triangle attack" is actually a set of tactics, a set of tactics that change according to the constantly changing situation on the field, so as long as you understand it thoroughly, it will be quite simple and brainless to use. Because it's more about your instincts, your experiences, your subconscious mind. But this kind of tactic is very easy to understand talent, if you can't understand talent, then it is very likely that you can't learn it at all, and at most you will get a little skin.

Therefore, generally speaking, NBA teams still adopt a "multi-tactical" strategy, generally speaking, 7~15 sets of exclusive tactics are more reasonable and easier for players to accept. And I also want to emphasize that the NBA tactics we call are all "unconventional tactics", that is, "exclusive tactics" or "special tactics", and the number of times used in a game is far less than the number of times that conventional tactics are used.

Why? Because this type of tactic is complex and has many steps, it consumes a lot of energy and energy as a whole. If it is implemented for a long time, it will definitely tire the players on the field, and the more they play, the more mistakes they make, and the more they play, the more mechanical they become. And for many young players, they simply don't have the patience and ability to run tactics, and too much use of "tactical balls" will definitely backfire and get twice the result with half the effort.

But in the NBA, there is a team that can afford to be called a "tactical treasure trove".

It's the San Antonio Spurs.

Why? With San Antonio's 20 years of stable core and stable structure, this is the source of the "tactical treasury". Without this condition, don't even think about it. Because tactics are the sport of a team as a whole, no matter how good an individual is, it is impossible to do it well.

In the case of the core structure for 20 years, only tinkering with the puzzle pieces, so the Spurs' team tacit understanding and team chemistry have always been at the forefront of the league. Plus the famous marshal Greg. Popovich is in the dark, so it's not surprising that Kobe Bryant would be openly envious.

After all, this is the only case in the history of the NBA, and there is no semicolon.

So when Popovich made up his mind and started "tactical ball play", the crisis of the Lakers was highlighted.

The Spurs serve in the backcourt, and during this time period, all the GDP combinations are on the court, because to give full play to the maximum power of the "tactical ball play", the tacit understanding between the players and the players, and the chemistry, will be the key to success or failure. Needless to say, the GDP combination is perhaps one of the best and most chemically connected combinations in NBA history. Therefore, the three of them will be able to play at the same time, which will maximize the success probability of the success of the "tactical ball".

The Spurs' lineup became: Tim. Duncan, Matt. Bonner, Manu. Ginobili, Danny. Green, Tony. Parker. It seems a bit surprising that the Spurs actually won the strongest defensive gate on the outside at such a critical moment. Leonard? This made the Lakers players think they were wrong.

Mike. D'Antoni also frowned a little suspiciously, looking at the five Spurs team members thoughtfully.

What's the situation? Why Greg. Will Popovich make this substitution? Is there some mystery to it?

Of course there is, but now Mike. D'Antoni hasn't seen it yet.

Tony. Parker slowly dribbled across the halfcourt, and then waited for the Spurs to be fully seated, and Tang Qian concentrated and was ready to help and make up for it at any time. But what happened next was unexpected. Parker didn't handle the ball right away, but it was Matt on the inside. Bonner moved first, he took the lead to run to the position of 1~2 steps inside the right three-point line, and then Ginobili, who was outside the three-point line on the right, acted, and as soon as he started, he shot near the Lakers' free throw line. Meeks, of course, would not abandon and quickly followed, but he was only halfway through the run before he was blocked by someone.

When I looked up, it wasn't Matt who had just been brought up. And who is Bonner?

"I'm blocked, hurry up and make up for it!" Jodi. Meeks was in a hurry, so he could only shout like this.

Gasol pounced from the inside and wanted to chase down the Spurs' No. 20, but who knew that Parker had no intention of passing the ball to Ginobili at all, and Ginobili suddenly stopped when he ran to the edge of the free throw line, which made people scratch their heads. At the same time that Gasol followed, Danny. Green quickly moved from the left horn to the right, and Darius. Of course, Morris was in hot pursuit, but after only three or four steps, he, like Meeks in front, was forced to stop.

The reason is Manu who has just moved over. Ginobili, using his body as a wall, blocks Morris.

So Danny. Green passed easily and ran to the right side of the Lakers' three-point line, and at this time Parker's pass also arrived, and after the former received the ball, he immediately jumped out of his hand, the basketball was empty, and the arc was drawn.

Brush~

In the end, it was clean and pierced the Lakers' net.

92-84, the score difference was re-widened to 8 points.

At that moment, it seemed complicated, but in fact, it was a matter of a few seconds, and even a lot of movement was carried out together with the front and rear feet, otherwise it would be impossible for such a big empty ball to appear in a short period of time. Equal to Matt. Bonner blocked Meeks and let Ginobili easily go to the free throw line for Danny. Green covered and then also attracted the Lakers by the way. Gasol's defense, the Spurs' No. 20 alone dragged the Lakers 2 people. And then it's not over, don't think you're waiting for Manu. After Ginobili ran away smoothly, Matt. Bonner was able to call it a day, in fact his work had just begun. Because he still has to keep in the way of Jordi in front of him. It took a little while for Meeks to get Danny. When Green came over, there was no one in front of him, and he shot in an empty space.

The whole tactic seems to be completed in a few seconds, in fact, it is a big change of 4 people, no, in fact, if it is more serious, just now Tim. Duncan also made a tactical move, attracting the Lakers' No. 29 and emptying the Lakers' right interior area.

In this way, even if the tactical run fails, the endpoint can be changed, and the outside line can be changed to rush into the inside line to score points.

And this kind of tactic, if the whole team does not cooperate tacitly, it will only be lame, staggering, and showing all the foreign.

But with the cooperation in place, with the home, it is full of power, which is equivalent to forcibly creating vacancies and space.

This is also where tactical balls make the most sense when defending with high intensity.

And this tactic also has a professional name, that is: Hammer.Action, which is translated into Chinese as "hammer operation" or "hammer tactics". It's also one of the most slippery tactics played by the San Antonio Spurs.

All of a sudden, the Lakers felt a huge pressure.

From the players to the coaches, all of them.
