Chapter 185: What Exactly?
Zhang Zhu's pretending to have a bonus effect, although it is more like Harris dismissed the decision not to change the defensive strategy in the first half, who made Zhang Qi unwilling to block the eye-catching, most of the NBA's head coaches can't let the core do what they don't want to do, even Pippen dares to refuse to play because the last attack arranged by the Zen master is not himself, you know the embarrassment of these coaches.

After the game restarted, the Lakers' defensive formation changed to a three-inside and two-outside position.
Zhang didn't want to make more effort on the defensive end, so Harris put the defensive strength inside, leaving some space for the Spurs to shoot from a distance.
But he is sure that the Spurs will not shoot too many three-pointers, and eighty percent will still choose to play inside.
At this point, he used three defenders to fill the box and force David Robinson to shoot from mid-to-long range, which could reduce the Spurs' offensive efficiency.
The Lakers put the Spurs on long shots, but that doesn't mean they just watch and do nothing, at least Zhang and Finley are tasked with keeping an eye on Elliott, Chuck Poson or Vinnie Denat.
Harris prepared a number of defensive plans before the game, and this one is the Lakers' Plan B, the essence of which is: although I have few people on the outside, I can make your three-point shot not pose much of a threat.
Ninety percent of the Spurs' three-point shots in the playoffs were taken care of by the above three-point shots, and the rest never shot three-pointers at all.
But these three players can only play two at the same time, otherwise the Spurs' on-court height will make their defense collapse, but this also makes it much easier for the Lakers to defend, just let Zhang Fu and Finley, who are excellent in single defense, get these two guys who can shoot three-pointers, this kind of defensive task is not always unwilling to do it.
After losing the defensive shackles, Zhang brought more pressure on the Spurs on the offensive end, and Van Exel and Finlay hit consecutive shots, and even if Zhang did not have direct assists in them, he attracted enough defense for his teammates to create enough scoring space for the two.
Although De Nagro also hit a three-point shot on the right wing, the Magic immediately made a jump shot, and then Zhang Yu hit a three-point shot under the basket successfully, and the Lakers, who were attacking with all their might, once again made the Spurs feel helpless, why can't TMD prevent it?
It's not because they're not the protagonists, it's because they have serious flaws on the offensive end, the most obvious being that the outside attack is too obvious!
There are only two or three people in the Spurs team who can shoot three-pointers, but the best defense of the Lakers is the outside, in fact, people only need one-on-one close defense to paralyze most of your three-point line. The team can't play a role outside the three-point line, and although the Lakers' three-player restricted area is not impregnable, as long as they don't wave, it is not easy for the Spurs to break through the Lakers' restricted area, and they have a big advantage.
The Spurs came back to the ground after the Lakers' timeout, and they couldn't contain the Lakers' offensive momentum, especially under the thread of Zhang and Magic, the Lakers continued to extend their lead, and their own offense began to lose pace.
After the end of the first half, the Spurs' attack wave looked more like a flashback at this time, and the Lakers didn't have to make much effort to overtake the score and end the first half 51-50 again.
Zhang Qi contributed 13 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists in the first half, this data is a typical "dragonborn" style, and another 10+5+5 in the second half is a triple-double. Maybe it's not easy for others to get a copy of this data in the half-game, but it's not particularly difficult for Zhang.
Someone pinched their fingers at halftime and found out they hadn't gotten a triple-double in the playoffs?
This is a bit unbearable, he is recognized by the media as a new generation of "triple-double little prince", and it is easier to brush up on triple-doubles in the playoffs than in the regular season, and there is no reason why he can't get a triple-double in two rounds of the series, which is not in line with the personality.
Therefore, as the boss of the team, he first has a bad heart, bent on brushing data, brushing three doubles, and engaging in those visible and intangible things...... Then he has the face to complain about other people's black Shu millet personality and complain that people like waves, so why doesn't he complain that he only pursues gorgeous data and only likes high-value girls?
At the beginning of the second half, De Nagro hit a three-point shot from the left wing, Campbell jumped wide of the basket, Charles Smith shot into the basket from the baseline, and the Spurs took advantage of their quick entry into the state to overtake the score at the start of the second half.
"Damn, why is it that someone punches me a few times every time, is this the price of making pig's feet?"
Zhang Wei was a little unhappy, in the first two minutes of each quarter, they had to be punched twice before they were comfortable, this feeling made him a little unhappy!
The magician said he was upset too!
But this situation doesn't seem to be able to change, and the Lakers ShowTime period was also like this, everyone wanted to pretend to be a wave of force first when they came up, but of course they were slapped in the face, and it was not an inevitable process to pretend to be slapped in the face.
Then, a group of celebrities who pretended to be unable to resist felt that they had been provoked, as if they had to be beaten on the ground by them, and they couldn't resist to be the correct plot, daring to resist was the evil side, and they had to be destroyed by the moon!
So, it goes without saying who is the evil side, but the winning side often has nothing to do with good or evil, only with whether you have the strength or not.
A minute later, Zhang Fu hit a three-pointer on the left side, and the Magic hit a mid-range shot, and then turned around again to the basket like looking at "the scenery over there", and successfully shook the tragic David Robinson to make a 2+1.
David Robinson was fed up with being dangled under the basket, which reminded him of the unpleasant experience of the previous two years, when the Magic completely enraged him, and the Spurs, led by the angry "Admiral", finally extended the advantage to 65-59 with a 10-3 surge.
The Spurs have not yet had such a big advantage, and the Lakers, who were suddenly attacked, reacted quickly, Zhang Zhu used his breakthrough to make four free throws in a row, and the re-entered Sebaros made a jumper, Zhang Qi scored on a layup again, and when there were 3 minutes and 24 seconds left in the third quarter, the Lakers chased the score to 69:72.
Both teams played a good offensive game in this quarter, but of course it was the defense that decided the victory, and the physical advantage of the players allowed the Lakers to still play a high-intensity defense in the last three minutes of the quarter.
Well, it's not that high, but at least it's a little bit more intense than the previous 9 minutes.
This means that the Lakers can still speed up after playing most of the quarter, no matter how much he mentions, in this stalemate, even if it is only from 100 kilometers per hour to 105 kilometers per hour, it is the last grass that overwhelms the camel, which is enough to kill the Spurs.
This time it was Zhang Qian who stepped forward, and he was the only one who had the strength to speed up during this period, which was an advantage brought to him by physical talent, and the bastard's key layups and free throws boosted the Lakers' morale, and the score gap was quickly narrowed, and then it was overtaken, and the Spurs enjoyed a one-stop service.
David Robinson should also stand up at this time, but the problem is that the Lakers players have been limiting his offense with the bag defense, and the seemingly all-round "general" lacks the trick of pressing the bottom of the box at the moment, and it can also be said that he is missing a trick, a trick that is difficult to be defended by the pack.
Among the four centers, Big Dream has fantastic steps, O'Neill has monster-level body and strength, but Gorilla and Admiral lack this stunt, one of them is known for his all-round skills, and the other is known for his toughness, but at this time it works a killer move, which makes the two who lack special skills unable to stand up and turn the tide in the real stalemate stage.
Ewing in the East is powerless against the Bulls, which is actually very similar to Robinson now.
Sometimes the game is just a little bit of a fight, some superstars can break out at a critical moment, and some people are just a little bit worse, and in the end they can only accept the end of defeat.
Many people can be majestic in the regular season at their peak, and even lead the team to beat a team like the Bulls, and it seems that they are already the best of the superstars. But they just can't win the championship or even make it to the division finals, which only means that you are still a little bit short, maybe a little bit of effort, maybe a little bit of talent, but it certainly has nothing to do with luck.
David Robinson should know what he's missing, especially when he can't do the same thing when he uses his unreasonable body to get to the free throw line or smash the ball to a teammate for an assist, and the answer is obvious, he didn't find one of his all-around skills to make it impossible to defend.
Is it hard? The general is an all-round skill, and there are few people in the inner line who can compare his skills, even if he picks the simplest mid-range shot to practice, he can make it incomprehensible.
What Jordan couldn't stop when he was young was his breakthrough, which was a reflection of his talent.
But what Jordan can't stop now is his back and mid-range shot, which are not born with him, but learned through hard training, which is more rare and more difficult to replicate than Zhang Mao and O'Neal, as well as Jordan's own talent when he was young.
Barkley gave up the idea of leading his team to win the championship this year, because he saw the reason for his failure in Jordan, and he knew that he couldn't work as hard as Jordan, unless someone forced him to practice with a gun, then he could only win the championship in a group.
David Robinson is not so hard-working, he also had physical talent when he was young, but now that he is old and not as hard working as Jordan, he is actually no different from Barkley, when facing Zhang Mao's younger and more demonic talent, in fact, there is only one way to die.
If you want to win the championship in the NBA, there are three ways - 1. Talent against the sky + hard training. 2. Top talent + hard work. 3. Huddle.
With 2:10 left in the third quarter, Magic hit a jumper, and Van Exel's three-point jumper on the left side was also thrown in the restricted area, and the Lakers scored 7-0 in the final two minutes. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers changed the score to 78:74 and overtook the score again.
Zhang Mao once again made the Spurs helpless in this section, he was almost always in the same state of being caught as the "general", but it seemed to be useless, the Spurs not only couldn't prevent his breakthrough shots, but also couldn't limit his scoring, and today staged a failed defense for fans around the world.
After the end of the third quarter, Zhang Mao had already cut 24 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, and he almost completed the task of getting a triple-double in the second half in one quarter.
Spurs fans think they still have a play, and now they are only four points behind, maybe they will smooth out the deficit as soon as they come up in the fourth quarter, just like the first three quarters.
But this time Zhang Wei disagreed, the difference between him and the Black Shu Millet is that he knows when he should wave, although sometimes he will play off, but at least he is a purposeful wave, not out of nature, blind a few waves.
Therefore, Zhang Fu took the initiative to ask Ying to play point guard for a while in the fourth quarter, and he had to take the lead in keeping his teammates awake, so that they could realize that their boss had to end the battle as soon as possible and could not give the other party another chance, otherwise there was a real possibility of overturning.
After this season, Zhang Zhu's progress in the technical link is still obvious, especially in the control of the ball in at least two hours of virtual training every day, has been greatly improved, although it is still a lot worse to be a point guard, but it should not be a problem to make a cameo appearance-
Basketball IQ (84); Ball control (75); Weak-side hand dribble (69); Catch (80); Ball Protector (83); Vision (84); card slot (64); Cover (60); Running without the ball (76); Back Footsteps (82); Frame Footsteps (77); Passing accuracy (78); Passing IQ (77); Back Body Control (82); Back turn to break through (83); Stability (81).
Avery Johnson previously said that he found a way to deal with Zhang Mao, in fact, he used his height advantage to get stuck in his footsteps, and launched a close-quarters press from the front court, hoping to cause Zhang Mao's dribbling error, and it was best to complete the steal directly.
But the problem is that Zhang Fu's ball control, especially the weak-side hand dribble, although it is still average, but his ability to protect the ball is already very reliable, if he uses his body to cover and slowly advance, it is really difficult to break his dribble without wrapping it.
Of course, Harris prevented the Spurs from wrapping Zhang Qiu in the front court, so he specially replaced the Magic in advance, which solved the problem that Zhang Qi's ball control ability was not high enough.
Don't look at the magician's fat now, it doesn't seem to be a threat, but in addition to the fact that he can't dribble and break through like before, his ability to control the ball with one hand has not declined much, and the ball sense against the sky is still alive.
As long as Zhang Qi is caught by the Spurs, he will immediately throw the ball to the magician, anyway, the current rule is 10 seconds over half, and they don't have to worry about violating the rules by inking too long in the backcourt, as long as these two people respond to each other, the Spurs can use at least three people to interfere with them, and it takes four people to break the ball.
But the problem comes again, in terms of these two pioneered visions, who dares to use three or four people to cover them, there can only be one result, that is, they use a long pass in the backfield to directly assist their teammates who are fast to score easily.
In the fourth quarter, the Magic first hit a jumper from the right baseline, Campbell also scored a dunk under the basket, and Zhang Yu even came to a backward shot, and he also threw it.
The Lakers replaced the two cores in advance in this quarter, just to start a desperate fight from the beginning and not give the Spurs a chance to turn the tables.
Bob Hill also planned the same way, but when he saw Zhang Zhu rushing left and right on the court and no one could stop him, the Lakers were concentrating on defense from the beginning and not giving the Spurs a chance to sneak attack, he knew that there was little hope of winning this game.
With 8:05 left in the fourth quarter, the Lakers extended their lead to seven points, and then Sebaros hit two consecutive shots with a sneak attack, and the somewhat anxious Spurs missed two consecutive three-point shots, and the watershed of the game finally arrived.
Magic stepped up this time to finish off the Spurs, who put all the defensive strength on Zhang Zhu, but let the Magic get two close-range jump shots, which was the same opportunity to give him points after returning to re-add nearly half of the lost skill points to mid-range shooting, back hitting and high post strategy, when Magic scored four points in a row, the Spurs lost the game.
"Big things go!" Bob Hill also closed his eyes, and the two goals cost the Spurs their life.
With the last five minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Lakers continued to maintain their lead, and when the morale of the Spurs players was a little low, Zhang Yu suddenly went to the basket and performed the most sassy tomahawk-style dunk in the whole game, which completely knocked out the momentum of the Spurs players.
The "Great Western Forum Arena" was blown up by Zhang Fu's violent dunk, and the burning court made the Lakers angry, and the Spurs could only give up in front of the team.
Although Zhang Qi once said that he would not dunk easily, he never said that he would never dunk, and when he was needed to use a dunk to destroy the opponent's morale, he would never be stingy with his dunk.
And it's good that he doesn't dunk all the time, just like this dunk is not uncommon in NBA games just now, which dunk can be dunked, but because he rarely performs a dunk after the dunk contest, even if his dunk is very average, everyone will think that it is better than others, and it is rare and expensive.
After this dunk, the Spurs never launched a decent counterattack, and the last five minutes of the game were not shocking, although the Lakers waved several times throughout the game, but in the end there was still a thrilling victory over the Spurs at home 105-95, successfully completed their pre-game battle plan, got the best 2-0 start, and held two home courts.
Zhang Yu scored 35 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, and also completed the task of the first triple-double in the playoffs.
In the last quarter, Harris kept putting Zhang Mao on the court in order to prevent a rollover, and today he played a total of 44 minutes, not only got a triple-double in the playoffs for the first time in his career, but also broke the playoff playing time record, although this is nothing, which superstar has not played more than 45 minutes in the playoffs, even if there are many examples of playing the whole game, but the first time is still precious.
Avery Johnson left the court with his teammates after the game, but he was tempted to ask Zhang before leaving: "What is the visible and intangible?" ”
