Chapter Ninety-Five: A Small Victory in the Finals
The tactic of going to Ginobili and handing Duncan to play alone was effective, and the Spurs had a good result.
Neither Barkley nor Rodman can defend Duncan alone, and even if Bill Russell, who has won 11 championships defensively, returns to the top, he is unlikely to limit a top-five star in history.
Superstars are superstars because they have the ability to bug the pitch that no one else can solve.
So Jordan stepped up, and he also blew up the opposing Ginobili.
In this pinnacle matchup, the Wizards relied on their overall strength to win a small victory, and finally repelled the incoming Spurs 102-95.
Jordan won the best of the game, with 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, although not impressive, but in such a top game, it was enough to take the victory.
Although Barkley was a little disgraced on the defensive end, he still found some court on the offensive end, with 25 points and 8 rebounds, and he was also an important contributor to the team's victory.
Ewing didn't have much of the ball, but he did his job well, defending the restricted area, guarding the basket, and getting 11 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Everyone's stats have shrunk, the reason is that the Wizards' pace is not fast, and the Spurs' average number of rounds per game is the lowest in the league.
Duncan was undoubtedly the Spurs' best player, and probably the best player of the game, as he had to score and rebound, defend the box and sometimes have to play the game in the middle of the game.
He is the most tired on the court, does the most work, and of course has the best statistics, with 33 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.
It was an invincible statistic, but the Spurs lost, won and lost, and Duncan's excellent performance was in vain.
After the game, the media and fans discussed the Wizards' players.
Of course, the fans didn't understand the deep-seated reasons for winning the game, and they didn't see how fierce the battle between Hu Qingniu and Popovich was.
As far as this one is concerned, the biggest contributor to the victory is undoubtedly Hu Qingniu, who outwitted Zhuge Vic, and the two teams that did not have much experience in the first game crossed the river by feeling the stones.
The finals are 7 games, and every game is crucial, and Popovich and Hu Qingniu will undoubtedly come up with their team's strongest routine.
Now Hu Qingniu can be said to have won a small victory, but the Wizards are also standing in the light.
In the next game, it will be up to the old man Bobo to adjust, how to make up for the problems and shortcomings exposed by the Spurs as much as possible, and even more to catch the sore feet leaked by the Wizards, and if he catches it, he will not let go.
With a small victory, the Wizards can't be careless, and Hu Qingniu's top priority is to hold down a few old ruffians who want to go out and relax.
"Michael, Charles, Patrick, Dennis, Grant, Anferne, and Tim, all seven of you will go back to the arena for me to practice. No one is allowed to go to the big gambling house in Apollo Underground Park tonight. ”
The ball ruffians looked at each other, looking like they couldn't say what they were suffering. Jordan and Barkley definitely wanted to go dashing, and Penny wanted to follow the past, but Hill and Ewing actually wanted to go home and rest.
Although Ewing was scary and had strong muscles, he could only whisper at this time.
"Coach, this game is too draining, Grant and I want to rest and rest, and we will never leave the house today."
Hu Qingniu raised his eyebrows and blurted out.
"No way, I don't know what you're thinking. Patrick, don't think that I can easily trust you if you look honest, you participate in every group outing, you can't remember me. ”
Ewing was all reprimanded, and Jordan and Barkley didn't dare say anything.
It's okay now, it's all served by Hu Qingniu, and no one can get out of this stadium tonight.
Not to mention Hu Qingniu's vigorous training of these old guys who secretly gamble in his eyes.
Although the American media is hyping up Jordan's leadership role and Barkley's brilliant play, there is one place where the media still faces up to Hu Qingniu's role.
That's the Chinese media, where reports praising Hu Qingniu's flawless pre-race layout and outstanding on-the-spot command have sprung up.
"Chinese coaches open a new chapter, and the Wizards win a key victory!" 》
"The champion coach was also defeated, and the reason was that there were masters in the Wizards team! 》
"There are three highlights of tonight's game, Hu Qingniu, Hu Qingniu, Hu Qingniu!" 》
Mr. Zhang Lili, a die-hard fan who has been captured by Hu Qingniu, even wrote a signed article for the Chinese News Agency.
The name is "Brief Talk, why do I say that Hu Qingniu is the number one tactician today?" 》
In terms of blowing the pen, it seems that Mr. Zhang is also very reasonable.
It tells in detail from the beginning that Hu Qingniu has proposed the figure 8 running and elevator door tactics since he first served as the offensive assistant coach of the Wizards, and won the Los Angeles Lakers in one fell swoop, making the big shark disgraced.
Then there is Hu Qingniu's exquisite use of one big and four small, how to make the traditional big forward tired.
Then there was the invincible winning streak in March and April, although there was a break in the middle, but only one loss in three months, which shows Hu Qingniu's profound coaching skills.
Finally, in the playoffs, the game pointed directly at the opponent's weaknesses, Hu Qingniu's tactical intentions, George Carr, Isaiah Thomas, Byron Scott, and other famous figures who have been in the NBA for decades could not be cracked, and lost to a Chinese young man who had just entered the league for a year.
The first game of the finals was a clear proof of Hu Qingniu's role as a master tactician, and his one-handed space compression defense directly broke the invincible blocking and dismantling tactics of champion coach Popovich.
Since the league lifted the joint defense tactics in 2001, Hu Qingniu was the first coach to play the joint defense so well. Coming up with this trick in the finals is a huge guide for the rest of the league's coaches.
In other words, if the joint defense is popular in the future and obtains good results, then everyone should thank Hu Qingniu as a guide.
Of course, Hu Qingniu, who is still training his teammates, can't see these distant and lovely reports.
All he had was a group of old muscular sticks shouting in front of him and begging for rest.
Hu Qingniu reluctantly agreed, but he didn't let them go home, he planned to let them all follow him to the video room to analyze today's game video.
The Wizards' footage is of course first-hand, which Hu Qingniu emphasized before the game that general manager Unseld should get his hands on it as soon as possible.
It wasn't until 11 o'clock in the evening that Hu Qingniu watched the video in its entirety. He generously sent the old guys home, believing that they would not have the energy to go out and fool around anymore after being bombarded with both physical and mental power.
And Hu Qingniu had to watch the video just now, there were many things that he didn't notice the first time.
