Chapter 523: A Glimmer of Life!

"It's so hard to prevent......!"

Kings vs. Spurs, Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals, Battle of Kings Mountain.

The battle came to the final decisive stage.

The fourth quarter of the game is about to begin, and the Spurs players are sitting on the bench and are being sprayed by the old drunkard Zhuge Vic.

As an old drunkard player, you can shoot inaccurately, you can not be physical, you can not score fast, you can make mistakes.

But the problem that must not arise is that the defense is not effective.

Although now, after several years of adjustment, the Spurs have gradually transformed from a team that puts defense first and focuses on scoring in the half-court position, to a three-point team with balanced offense and defense and extremely sharp outside offense.

But defense is still fundamental to the Spurs' foothold at the top of the league.

"Coach, it's not me who said, the king's tactic is really difficult to defend, one cooperation, three opportunities, we can't pounce anywhere, how can this be done!"

Although Tony Parker was scolded by the old drunkard all the way, but because of this, when facing the old drunkard, he had the least psychological burden, and he was not likely to be scolded for a few words, and then he didn't dare to say anything, and said boldly: "If one or two of the three people involved in the offensive cooperation are not good at attacking and can't form a threat when they get the ball, it's okay." But the problem now is that these three are the strongest offensive trio on their team, and whoever gets the ball can easily score. As soon as the tactics run, the opportunity comes out, and it is impossible for us not to guard against it, and take care of one or the other! ”

“…… Alas. ”

As soon as Ai Jiang said this, the tactical board in the old drunkard's hand also stopped in mid-air, and he was stunned for a long time, but still sighed: "That's right, I know it too." ”

How difficult is this tactic to prevent, will the old drunkard not know? He knew very well in his heart that the Kings were integrating the three strongest scorers in their lineup into one tactic, and in this tactic, they also played the strongest scoring means of the three main cores.

Evans is good at breaking, and in the devil's horn strategy, his way of scoring is to break through.

Cousins is good at scoring under the basket, and in the devil's horn strategy, as long as he has the ball, he is under the basket.

Gu Yu is good at shooting at the speed of light and hitting the basket from a long distance, in the demon horn tactics, he doesn't need to hold the ball on the inside at all, as soon as he catches the ball, he is empty on the outside, and he can score directly.

The beauty of this offensive tactic is here, I really want to say that this tactic can be used by other teams in the same way, and it can still be learned and used, but the effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

For example, the Spurs themselves also have the GDP combination of Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan, and the overall strength alone is still above the Kings.

If the Spurs use the devil's horn tactics, of course they can take shape. Parker is particularly suitable, with a knack for switching between breaking and traveling, and Parker will be even more terrifying than Evans when he is the first point of possession.

But Duncan's current basket pick-and-roll is no longer as brave as it used to be, and the success rate is definitely not as good as Cousins. And Duncan has so many skills, and it's kind of a bit of a ruin for you to have him only as the endpoint.

What's even more embarrassing is Ginobili, a thin body, full of artistic bacteria, and the heart of an actor, Ginobili went to Duncan as a cover wall, I'm afraid that just when I meet the Kings player, I will involuntarily fake falling backwards. Even if everything went well, Ginobili received the ball at the top of the arc, but his shot was too slow, and the defenders had already rushed up before he could shoot.

Tactics that can't even handle GDP will only have a worse effect if they are replaced by other teams.

“…… Well?! ”

But what to say about it......

The old drunkard was awakened by the words of his beloved disciple, and suddenly, an idea rose from the bottom of his heart.

Since the tactic of the Kings is to maximize the role of the three main forces, it means that after the tactic of running continuously, the other two players of the Kings have almost zero participation on the offensive end.

I can't get the ball on the offensive end at this time, so if we make a little bit of adjustment to our defense......

There's a way.

"That way, if they use that tactic again in a while, we'll ......"

"Beep! The break is over and the fourth quarter of the game begins! ”

“…… We're #¥%&...... !! ”

The old drunkard has just sorted out his thoughts here, and feels that he has found a glimmer of life under the devil's horn tactics, so that he will not die, and the intermission is over, and the players are about to play.

"Referee referee, can I call a timeout now??"

The old drunkard was like a fish in his throat, and he was very uncomfortable, so he immediately stepped forward and asked the referee: "I haven't finished my tactics!" ”

"Suspend ......?"

The referee glanced at the world famous marshal next to him like a stupid fork, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but on the surface, he still held back his laughter, shook his head seriously, and said: "The game hasn't started yet, and the game time hasn't started yet, how can you call it 'timeout'??" ”

"Uh......"

It seems to make some sense!

The old drunkard really doesn't know what happened to him today. It seems that when you fight against the Kings, no, when you fight against Gu Yu, your IQ will automatically decrease by fifty points.

Recall the question I just asked, and it was really a stupid question!

“…… Okay, I see. ”

Nodding, the old drunkard didn't say more, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and stood directly beside the referee on the sidelines, already thinking about some commotion in his mind.

Don't let me call a timeout, do you?

The game hasn't started yet, has it??

It's not time to start yet, is it???

Yes.

As soon as the game started, I immediately called a timeout, you have nothing to say!!

Otherwise, the Spurs' news section is the funniest of all the teams in the entire NBA league. There is such a coach who thinks about doing all kinds of weird operations every day, and it's weird if the news is not funny!

"Humph......!"

With a sneer on the corner of his mouth, the old drunkard can already imagine that after the game, the major media will definitely make a fuss about his own pause. Say what "NBA history is rare!" As soon as it opens, shout a timeout! "Ah, what" Zhuge Vic made another strange move! Immediately after the kick-off of the fourth quarter, there was a timeout! Titles such as la, sensational, and fans who don't know the truth laughed.

What do you know?

Lao Tzu, this is tactical literacy!

As long as I can achieve my tactical goals, can I win for the team, is the timeout important?

Who rules how many minutes after a match can be called a timeout?

Does anyone rule that a game can't be called a timeout as soon as kick-off?

The other coaches just pay too much attention to these "conventional" things. This is not a rule, the game will be suspended at the beginning and you will not be fined, why do you want to do so much? ?

There are clearly so many times, as long as the coach puts down his so-called self-esteem, admits his mistakes early, admits that his players are not playing well on the field, and calls a timeout in time, he can solve the problem and win the victory.

Why do they have to think about "will the players have a burden in their hearts?" Does it make sense?

Isn't it just to make the players lose face?

There are many faceless things, and this one is missing??

The old drunkard's mind was swirling with countless thoughts at the same time, and one of the smartest brains in the world had come up with a rather risky, but definitely worth trying, way to crack the King's demonic horn tactics at this moment.

Just call out this pause.

As soon as we serve the baseline ball and as soon as Toni gets the ball and the clock starts to go out, I call this timeout and we can ......

"Kings possession! The offensive begins! ”

“…… it! ”

Hearing the referee's words, the old drunkard almost sprayed a mouthful of old blood on the roof of the stadium.

“…… Greg, watch your words. ”

The referee was also speechless, and looked back at the old drunkard deeply, considering that this was the home court of the Spurs after all, and the old drunkard was obviously not scolding himself, and in the end he still didn't blow a technical foul.

"Uh-a-huh...... Sorry, sorry ......."

The old drunkard was also embarrassed, so he hurriedly nodded and apologized, and walked to the side and sat down.

After sitting down, the old drunkard was in his heart, and he scolded the dog with blood.

a chicken ......!

Just thinking about calling a timeout and conveying the tactics, but forgetting the opening ball of the fourth quarter, it is not our Spurs team at all!

"That guy ......"

The eyes of the old drunkard involuntarily looked at the king's bench.

"Hahahahaha!! Old drunkard, are you already blowing up your brains, hahahaha?! ”

Gu Yu, with his big back, was unscrupulously mocking the old drunkard with his mouth.

“…… Why is it so easy to panic when you fight against him!! ”

Following so many stars, the old drunkard Zhuge Vic also began to deeply perceive the power of Gu Yu's unique brain-dead aura......

"Bang Bang Bang"

"Run!"

On the court, the Kings are the lineup in the transition section, and the Spurs are also the main players with the bench.

Seeing the old drunkard crying stupidly by himself, the mentality of the Kings substitute players was much more relaxed. Thomas Jr. controlled the ball, Marcus Thorton and Gimmer ran the position, Green, Reus and others roamed around, using the super mobility of the entire lineup, and the Kings benches played well and did not have stage fright at all.

However, the depth of the Spurs' roster is indeed terrifying, with Dio, Gary Neal, Patrick Mills, and Maddy, who has not been seen for a long time, all on the court, a bunch of veteran balls, and also using their experience and rhythm to play the young people of the Kings.

No one can prevent anyone, the substitutes of the two sides have entered the stage of mutual explosion, and the difference in points has always hovered around 10 points, the Spurs can't catch up, and the Kings can't open the gap.

Seeing that the king had not used the demonic horns all along, the old drunkard was also relieved, and simply waited for the decisive moment after the return of the main force before arranging defensive tactics.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the King's demon horn tactics actually had a ...... back move!
