Chapter 530: Lao Tzu is Tactics! (a)
"The Kings' tactical failure has nothing to do with their own play, but the Spurs are playing too well."
In the media seat, Xiao Yuzheng wondered, so far in the opening game, although the Kings' tactics have basically failed, they haven't seen how well the Spurs played, inexplicably, the Kings, who were still ahead, suddenly fell behind.
The Spurs always have that kind of magic, no matter what the game is, no matter how ferocious the opponent plays, no matter how many points the team is behind, no matter how many waves of attacks are beaten.
The Spurs will not have the slightest panic, they are still doing their own thing step by step, defending every round, not making superfluous moves, except for the Suns that year, and the eternal Bruce Bowen, they don't do any off-the-board moves.
On the offensive end, the Spurs have always been calm and steady, and they don't see any terrible attack waves in a game, everyone is doing their own thing, shooting three-point shots, shooting three-pointers, bursting baskets, shooting in the middle of the shot, and grinding points one at a time.
There is no roar, there are few continuous defensive counterattacks, and even when the fast-break dunk is made, the faces of young players like Leonard are full of words "where I want to go home".
Then, inexplicably, the Spurs caught up and even overtook them.
"Spurs...... Is it good to fight? ”
The peers around him are also surprised why the Spurs' offense is similar to constipation, but they can overtake the score. Someone said their own point of view, Xiao Yu was a little incomprehensible: "I don't think they played well, the king scored, the Spurs are great, that is, follow the return one, it stands to reason that after playing like this, the king should always be ahead, right?" ”
"Actually, you just said this, and you have already gotten to the point."
The reporter looked at the sides of the court, the Kings and the Spurs bench, the atmosphere of ice and fire, and said quietly: "When we watch this round of the series, we always feel that the Spurs have not played any great offense, but they will bite the score and not be pulled away too much by the King." And then if the king's tactics are in place, a wave will take away the game. The Kings didn't have the tactics in place, and the Spurs slowly grinded up and won, right? ”
Seeing that everyone nodded, the reporter continued: "So have you ever thought about how terrifying it is to be able to fight with the Kings, who are the first in the league in firepower and almost 10 points per game in average points, and not fall behind, how terrifying is the Spurs' performance...... ”
A word wakes up the dreamer.
This reporter's remarks hit the nail on the head, and it is a well-known fact that the Spurs have had a good offense this season. But at the beginning of the series, there was one thing that everyone didn't realize:
The Spurs' offense, perhaps during the regular season and the first round against the Lakers, was still suppressed and not fully played.
"Think about it, what's the most extravagant series in Spurs history?"
The reporter continued to ask.
"Hmm...... That year's playoffs against the Suns! It was the round when Xiao Si averaged 37 points per game. ”
Xiao Yu recalled: "That round of the series of Spurs was quite surprising, I thought it would be the strongest conflict battle in the league, but the Spurs played against the Suns, and finally won the game by attacking." I remember the first game with a pretty high score, right? Seems to be playing particularly well with Brent Barry? ”
"That's right, in my opinion, that series was the first and so far only time for the Spurs to fully play their full potential and true strength on the offensive end."
The reporter nodded: "Now let me talk about the fact that the Spurs that year were still a defensive team with constipation in attack." Even if the big opening and closing with the Suns is very exciting, it can't hide the fact that the Spurs' offensive tactics have been extremely monotonous in those years. ”
Indeed it is.
The reporters are all old rivers and lakes, and they still see the problem more profoundly, and they have no objection to this statement.
"That round of the series, I felt like the only time in my life that an old drunkard let go of his heart and let the players play their full strength on the offensive side on the field, fighting with the opponent with bayonets, and directly attacking the attack. It seems to be fighting the world with practical actions, telling those critics who say that the Spurs can only defend and attack ugly - the Spurs' offensive talent is actually extremely terrifying. ”
The reporter continued: "Think about it! In those years, when the offense and defense were slow-paced and the ball was grinding the position, Duncan in the Spurs still averaged 20 points per game, and it would be upgraded to about 25 points in the playoffs. Parker averaged 178 points per game as if he was playing, and Ginobili would score 20 points if he wasn't careful. Combined, these three guys contribute about 50 points per game. ”
"And in a typical Spurs game at that time, the Spurs scored about 85 to 90 points in the whole game. In other words, in addition to GDP, the rest of the players add up to three or four hundred points of scoring contribution. I don't believe it, there are Horry, there are Bowen, there are Barry, there are a whole bunch of very useful role players, the Spurs have 9 players except for GDP, each of them is less than 5 points? ”
"I see what you mean."
Xiao Yu was still smart, and nodded heavily: "In order to defend, in order to control the pace of the game, in order to win, the Spurs have always suppressed the team's actual talent on the offensive end. Unless the game situation is more dangerous and it is a last resort, Coach Greg will not give the role players the right to take a shot. ”
"That's what it means."
The reporter gave a thumbs up to Xiaoyu with admiration and said: "Then think about how thick the Spurs' role player lineup is now." How much effort Greg has spent on the transformation over the years, the average offensive level of the Spurs has reached the top three in the league. And then recall what I said earlier - the Spurs' offense, still in a state of inhibition - you ......"
With that, the reporter looked at the court, and when the timeout ended, the Spurs players came on the court with expressionless faces, in stark contrast to the murderous faces of the Kings and a group of troubled children on the other side.
“…… You can understand how terrifying the current Spurs will be if they let go of the attack......! ”
"Beep ——!"
The game continues!
"Steady the rhythm! Keep the rhythm steady! ”
The Kings possessed the ball, and when Evans controlled the ball over half court, the Spurs still insisted on their 122 joint defense and did not go up to the early attack.
But all of this is a trap.
"Whoosh!"
I knew in my heart that the Spurs had already laid a net, and just waiting for my head to rush in, Evans quickly moved the ball. At the top of the arc, Gu Yu was still in place, and as soon as he stood up to receive the ball, Leonard's big hand had already stopped him.
And then
"Pull, open!"
Singles!
"You're still singles like this?? Cousin is not Shi Lezhi! ”
Gu Yu's voice was quite courageous, but he was complained about countless times.
122 tactics, the least afraid is singles, and the position with the strongest control is the top of the arc.
And you, Gu Yu, still think that the Spurs' defensive strategy is not resolute enough, and he howls and says that he wants to play alone, and he especially wants to play alone from the top of the arc!
Isn't this self-throwing what it is??
But
"It's up to you, little ghost......!"
On the sidelines, Westphal, there is really no trick.
His hands involuntarily folded slightly, and he drooped down, and Westfaal was very nervous.
Over the years, in order to maximize the power of these three geniuses under his command, the days and nights he has experienced, the sweat and efforts he has paid, have all appeared in front of him one by one.
Once, in the first game, in the fifth game, Westphar was excited to think that he had succeeded. I finally found it, I can perfectly pinch the tactical routine of the king's trident, and I can finally kill the invincible opponents in all directions.
But now, the scheming rosacea on the other side used a basic joint defense that could no longer be basic, and told Westphall clearly:
Coaches are also talented.
And the coach has talent, he can still do whatever he wants......!
"Bang bang bang!"
Hasten!
Gu Yu became Westfaal's last magic weapon at this time. It's like going back to last season, or even earlier.
When the Kings don't have so much talent, they don't have so many routines, and Westphale himself hasn't figured out the coach's cheats and can't think of any good tactics.
Only Evans, only Cousins, or only Gu Yu's moment.
The Kings have always been just a singles team.
The so-called tactics and routines of his own are not worth mentioning in front of a real genius coach.
To complete self-redemption, Westphal, it is completely impossible to do it.
As for tactical ......?
“…… Bang bang! ”
The killer has changed direction!
What the......?!
Gu Yu made an emergency stop, pulled the ball club with one hand, and kicked hard with his right foot in front of him, and the whole person was like a kite with a broken string, and the moment he retreated sharply backwards. Leonard's head buzzed, and he just felt that something was wrong.
The speed of this retreat step......
"Rub!"
Is it still human?!
"Keep up!! Leonard still caught up! The cousin didn't have a chance to shoot directly, but ...... Continue to be short and accelerate twice! HESITATION worship Buddha to suddenly! Leonard was run over to the side, and Green's bag came!! ”
Bag clip!
Gu Yu left the top of the arc area and entered the ribs near the three-second zone, and Green's bag came as scheduled. Without a slight time difference and a second of rest, Gu Yu was already caught in the position of the flank in the middle.
Gu Yu's right hand brought the ball forward, and the tips of his fingers flicked the basketball, as if he was shooting at the ground, and shot the ball forward.
This is to ......
"Bang!"
The ball is divided!
"The ball went through the middle!! The bag clip hasn't had time to take shape yet, cousin...... Drill sideways! Catch the ball with one hand, and get up! Duncan is tinkering, cousin...... Feints!! ”
With a "whoosh", Gu Yu's figure turned into a dragon shadow and completely disappeared in Duncan's field of vision.
In the next second, Duncan reflexively turned around, wanting to cover Gu Yu's shot from behind.
“…… Call! ”
Gu Yu jumped, changing hands in the air!
"Split is here to make up for it! My cousin's right wrist flicked, and the basketball ...... Grazed Split's fingertips and made a backhand layup!! ”
"Huh!"
"Medium !!!!"
With the hit of this ball, the most terrifying individual offensive performance in this year's playoffs has completely kicked off!
