Leonard wouldn't have thought of him talking to Deng Hongfei about the battle situation.

In fact, in the manager's office, Popovich was not idle.

He was discussing countermeasures with Messina and Udoka.

Although he fell behind 1-3 and was extremely passive, he played to this extent, and no one wanted to admit defeat on the spot.

Even so, the Golden State Warriors are strong.

"The problems have been summarized many times, and they are basically these, and now it seems that we may only have two problems."

"First, the strength is really inferior to the opponent."

"Second, the defensive strategy is still not right."

Popovich looked at the two assistants cautiously.

Messina immediately gave his opinion, "I don't think there is any problem with our quality, if we can't win against Golden State, then there may be no team in the league that can beat them." ”

"You know, we've done our part defensively."

"Yes, we both agree on that."

"Since you all think it's not a matter of strength, then it's our defensive set-up that's wrong."

Popovich nodded slowly, "But we have tried almost any defensive formation, but we still haven't been able to limit the opponent well." ”

"I've thought about this many times these days."

Messina said as he pulled a small notebook from his suit and opened it in front of Udoka and Popovich's eyes.

Slightly messy, the lines that look like ghosts and peach charms in the eyes of ordinary people are vividly presented on the paper, and Messina explained to the two, "We have indeed tried all kinds of targeted defensive formations, and the reason why the effect is not very good, I think it may be because of the problem with the personnel setup. ”

"Think about it, the whole Warriors team is good at playing small and fast, we left Thiem alone in the last game to guard the basket, and everyone else focused on the outside, but the opponent still found opportunities repeatedly."

"In the next game, why don't we try the small lineup completely."

"Trying out the small lineup entirely?"

Popovich frowned, "You go on. ”

Messina nodded, "I don't think we have any problem using Deng Hongfei in the No. 1 position now, Danny Green is also a good match for this system, these two players are very strong offensive and defensive, as for Kowai in the No. 3 position, not to mention, his performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is equally top-notch, and all three, there is no doubt that they can keep up with Golden State's offensive system." ”

"The fourth position, whether it is Burris or Aaron, the two of them can also be, so the problem comes to the fifth position."

"Number 5 ......"

Popovich wrinkled the bridge of his nose and looked thoughtful, "What do you mean ......?"

"I mean, try to take Thiem and put on the Aronga Burreth combination on the inside."

"Aaron is in the fourth position and Burreth is in the fifth position, so that our five players on the court will be able to fully keep up with the rhythm of the Warriors, whether it is Aaron or Burris, they all have good movement ability on the outside, so that it can make up for the shortcomings of Tim's lack of defensive strength on the outside, which can always allow the opponent to find open shots."

"It's imperative that we curb their three-point shooting ability."

"But then we don't have a strong ball point on the inside."

Before Popovich could make a statement, Udoka next to him first asked questions.

"On the offensive end, we mainly rely on Thiem's strong point of possession to get their attention and then we can win more space for the players on the outside."

"Nope."

Messina shook her head, "We have." ”

"Who?"

Udoka was extremely curious and hurriedly asked.

Messina flipped the book to another page and pointed to a tactical plan on it, "Holding the ball inside, whether it is Burreth or Deng, can be competent." ”

"If Thiem doesn't play, we can put Deng on the inside as a strong ball carrier."

Messina patiently spoke his thoughts, and both Popovich and Udoka listened attentively, "When Deng falls inside as a point of possession, his ability to play low back will bring more impact and damage to the Warriors, and in addition, his passing vision is quite open, which does not affect our other four points of running." ”

"Also, it's not just Deng who can act as a strong ball carrier on the inside, I think Burres has that ability as well."

"I've seen more than once in training and in games that Burres is able to hold the ball on the rim and on the rim on the inside.

"He's also got a great passing skill, but the biggest problem with my idea is ......"

Speaking of this, Messina hesitated.

Seeing his stumbling appearance, Popovich pointed straight to the point, "The biggest problem is that we can't let Thiem go off as a substitute, he is our Spurs' merit and our San Antonio legend, if you press him on the bench, it is the biggest disrespect to him." ”

"Yes." Messina nodded seriously, "I thought about it for a long time based on this idea. ”

Udoka agreed, "We really can't do that, if we put Tim on the bench, it will indeed bear a lot of gossip and it will be detrimental to the stability and unity of the locker room." ”

"You're thinking too much, haha."

Suddenly, Popovich laughed nonchalantly, "If you think that our locker room unity will be affected by this alone, then I can only say that you don't know about these players yet. ”

"Actually, what I want to say is that your worries are completely superfluous, and you don't have to think so much about what you want in the future, you can say it without any scruples."

Popovich shrugged, "I've seriously thought about the same strategy as you, and since you see it that way, then I'll have to talk to Tim." ”

"Will there be a problem?" Messina reminded again, "After all, Tim has a special position. ”

"Don't worry, I've been working with him for almost 20 years, and I don't know what kind of temper this old guy is."

Popovich waved his hand reassuringly.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Popovich shouted.

I saw the door opened, and the one standing outside the door was the main owner.

The big round eyes poked in curiously and looked around, then smiled and greeted the three people in the room with a big grin, "It's all here." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I'm missing your barbecue." Duncan leaned in with a shy face.

Popovich pushed him away in disgust, "Speak well, what's the matter?" ”

"Okay."

Duncan spread his hands and looked helpless, "I want to say, we have to fight in the next game, I think I am more suitable to go down and play as a substitute, people are old, and the future is their young people." ”

"Aha?"

Hear that.

The three members of the coaching staff were happy, which coincided, and everyone thought of going together.
