The Spurs revealed the day before Game 2 that their backup forward Chuck Person suffered a bone injury to his left knee, but he should be available for Game 2 of the semifinals against the Lakers on Tuesday. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Head coach Bob Silke said: "Chuck's injury is not serious and we will decide if he is in the squad based on how well he trains. ”

But in reality, Chuck Person's injury didn't have much of an impact on either the Spurs or the Lakers. Everyone also knows that the Spurs can't count on Chuck Person to defend Zhang.

If he can't think of a really effective strategy to defend Zhang Zhu by Tuesday, the suspense of this series is likely to be great, because a star player who does whatever he wants on the court can do damage to an opposing team to the point where it can make the difference between winning and losing a game.

After the Lakers defeated the Spurs in the first game, they are naturally full of confidence in the second meeting.

But confidence is confidence, they can't stay the same, the Spurs have made some changes in the second half in the first game, but the timing of the change is not right, it didn't work, and now they have a day to cushion, they have to come up with something new in the original tactics.

Of course, whether Zhang can be a husband or not was not proven in the first game, so the Lakers' defensive strategy was not a success, but it was not a failure. Therefore, the Lakers still plan to set up a formation on the defensive end to defend the middle, but the support on the other side will be greater, in fact, to lure the Spurs to besiege Zhang Mao.

Harris wants to know how much pressure Zhang Fu's defense can withstand, and when he can't bear it, the Lakers won't let Zhang Ji resist alone.

This is very different from the last game, because the big win in the first game made Harris clearly see that Zhang Mao's offense is the most important point of victory and defeat for the Spurs, and now all their tactics must give priority to Zhang Mao's offense.

On May 7, the Lakers' game was scheduled in the prime time of the evening this time, and the Bulls' game was scheduled in the afternoon, which naturally made many Bulls fans, especially Jordan fans, feel very unhappy, because many people still have to go to work in the afternoon, even if the game time is scheduled at 5 o'clock or 6 o'clock in the afternoon, it will still affect some fans to watch the game.

There is no way to do it, the Lakers' game must be scheduled in the evening, if it is scheduled in the afternoon, it will still be early in the morning on the Asian side, so won't it affect the NBA's plan to develop Asia?

Although the Bulls are the most popular team in the league at the moment, compared with the development of the Asian market, it is just for you to play in the afternoon.

The second game between the Knicks and the Bulls was still a battle between defense and defense, and the scene was naturally ugly, and the process was very fragmented, always falling into endless fouls, and there was almost no time for two consecutive minutes of non-stop.

If this kind of dull game is not Jordan, the ratings will not be very good-looking, and the role of idols is reflected in another one, even if the game with superstars is dull, the ratings will not fall below the bottom line at least.

The Bulls are not as good as the Knicks on the inside defense, but they can win back on the outside defense, so how the two teams perform on the offensive end is very important, and in a game like this kind of close, sometimes a few more shots and a few more points can be enough to decide the outcome of the game.

The Knicks, for their side, relied almost entirely on Ewing to score, but the Gorillas' explosive output was not as good as the other three centers in the same class, and they couldn't use their own personal damage to break up defensive opponents.

But Jordan has this ability to break the defense, although the leader of the second game is not as good as the first game, but he still scored 28 points, and the second brother Pi also scored 19 points. On the other hand, the Knicks, in addition to Ewing's 23 points, the second-highest scoring John Starks only scored 12 points, which is a gap of up to a dozen points, which is already very large in a game where neither side scores more than 90 points.

Of course, the basketball game can't be counted as a winner, but the Bulls' individual offense is stronger and there are more people available on the bench, and these two advantages, when the overall defense is similar, are indeed the key to their victory over the Knicks.

Some Knicks fans even shouted "Nelson I'm sorry" after the game, look at Zhang Zhu's performance with the Lakers, and then look at their serious lack of offensive power now, if Ewing was really exchanged for the Warriors' top pick and Tim Hardaway, the Knicks' strength now will only be stronger and not weaker.

What's more, Zhang Yi will only be 19 years old next month, Ewing will be 34 years old, and the difference between the two is 15 seasons, so this deal is simply a good one.

Not only are New York fans regretting not doing it at the beginning, but some New York media are also regretting that they followed some people to add fuel to the fire and drove away Nielsen.

If Zhang is in the Knicks, even if this season may not be as good as the current Lakers, but next year they can compete for an interior defensive pillar like Mutombo, and even to snatch O'Neal, that picture is definitely much better than now.

However, there is no regret in this world, which can only become the eternal hatred of Knicks fans.

At the beginning, the old Nelson, who was thought to have gone crazy by 99% of people, has now become a hot commodity, and teams such as the Mavericks, Clippers, and Pistons have all rumored that they want to invite the old Nelson to coach with a high salary, not to mention his coaching ability, just the ability to recognize people that is not inferior to Jerry West, is enough for a large number of teams to coax.

The Spurs management also did not have the idea of looking for Nelson to replace Bob's coaching, and the NBA's small-town teams like this kind of coach with the best draft picks.

If the Knicks had been willing to let Nelson do it, it would have been the New Yorkers who would have made the league envious and jealous.

This makes a large number of teams want Nielsen to go crazy with their own teams, especially those teams that don't make the playoffs, even if they can't pick a monster like Zhang Zhu next season, and can choose a mid-pick superstar like Malone and Stockton, it will be enough for a lifetime.

"Nelson was the first coach to say to me, 'You're going to be a superstar,' and it was at a time when a lot of people weren't looking out for me, and he was the only one who was willing to make me a building blocker, and he was even willing to trade me for a superstar center."

At the pre-game press conference, Zhang Fu also responded to the strange thing that some Knicks fans actually ran into the street to shout "Nelson is sorry" after the team lost.

"At the time, I thought it would be nice to be selected in the lottery, so I thought he should be crazy. But I was willing to play for him, and he even sketched to me on the phone some ideas about how he would use me in the future and train me. At that time, I really thought I would be a member of the Knicks, and I was lucky to meet such a crazy coach, but it's a shame ......," Zhang Fu shrugged, "When I just arrived in New York and was about to go to the Knicks for a tryout, the news in the newspaper that he was fired by the team! That's when I knew, I'm afraid I couldn't play for the Knicks. ”

Zhang's answer made some New York reporters even more annoyed, they were so close to Zhang at the beginning, it can be said that they have put this golden egg in their pockets, and when Zhang Qi starts his performance in a few months, the Knicks will become a miracle in draft history.

But in the end, this bright future was ruined by the Knicks' bastard management, and those guys are not only incompetent!

Lakers fans are gloating at this time, fortunately the Knicks' management is incompetent, otherwise Nelson was traded to the Warriors' top pick, and Jerry West would not be able to trade Zhang Mao no matter how capable he is.

So, they also have to thank the Knicks for firing Nelson, and it was their stupidity that made the Lakers possible and allowed the Purple and Gold to rise at the speed of light.

The new dynasty of the Lakers basically started this season.

Now they have a high probability of eliminating the Spurs and reaching the Western Conference Finals again, which is comparable to the speed of China, which is enough to be called a rise.

In the evening, the two teams started the same as the first, except for Cebaros who replaced Finley, and the Magic continued to replace Bisson as the starter.

The Spurs have barely changed, and they only have so many players who can play in the playoffs that they can't change if they want to.

In the first quarter, the Spurs won the scrum again, and this time they decisively attacked in the direction of Zhang.

"Lao Tzu still has to learn foreign languages, I must kill you today!"

Zhang Fu's motivation comes from the little sister, in recent days, the chances of Miss Feihong and Miss Theron snapping are not low, although Miss Naomi is still dropped, and Sister Xiaolin doesn't seem to have noticed the wall in the apartment, but at least two of his dishes have been copied to the heat.

The problem is that he has been busy with the playoffs recently, and he has no time to move his chopsticks, and now he has to get rid of the Spurs as soon as possible, so that he can get down to business, otherwise the dishes will be cold.

The Spurs' offense looked very embarrassed in front of Zhang Fu, who was full of thoughts to learn foreign languages.

Elliott's breakthrough can be called sharp, but it is not a pervert, and Zhang Mao can deal with it more than enough.

Once there is no advantage in footsteps, Elliot's weight of 215 pounds is not enough to see, this tonnage is the standard weight of the third position in this era, but against Zhang Mao, who is almost 240 pounds, the gap is very obvious, and the confrontation ability is almost two levels worse.

The "Admiral" received Elliott's embarrassing pass, and the Lakers' outside players did not shrink, still paying attention to the Spurs' outside shooters. However, thanks to the strong strength in the middle, the penalty area is still guarded by Campbell and Magic, and although David Robinson's offense is good, it is impossible to always want to pick two, so he pulled to a position close to Zhang Yu to shoot.

The Lakers' defense doesn't really mean that Zhang Wei is left alone to defend an area, and everyone else is watching the excitement, which is certainly impossible, at least Campbell, who is opposite Robinson, will definitely follow.

But the others really won't come in anymore unless their opposing defender runs over as well.

But this is obviously impossible, and this is not a huddle for warmth.

As soon as Robinson entered the area guarded by Zhang Fu, he was immediately caught by Zhang Fu.

The "Admiral" achieved his goal and quickly passed the ball back to Elliott, who had reached the baseline three-point line and was ready to shoot a three-point shot when he received the basketball.

"I'm back again, surprised, surprised?"

Zhang Fu was quietly pretending to be forced in his heart, but his face was invisible, and in the blink of an eye, he returned to his defensive position behind Robinson, and although he couldn't cover the ball, it was enough to affect Elliott's shooting.

To be honest, the players of this era are far worse than they were later in terms of three-point shooting ability.

If this ball is replaced by the NBA fifteen years later, Zhang Mao's interference will not make a shooter almost shoot three is so outrageous, it can only be said that the current players do not practice enough three-point shots, and the team should not have too much three-point shooting training under high pressure.

At this time, the concept of basketball is still relatively rigid in terms of the requirements for players, for example, most coaches will require "there is a vacancy to shoot three points", and when there is defense, they will not let you shoot, and they will shoot three points against the defense, which is a wrong shooting time, and it is a wave of shooting behavior that will be criticized.

Schramf shot over 50 percent from three-point range last season, but he only shot two or three three-pointers in a game, which is unimaginable in a decade or so, so there are very few players who can shoot three-pointers against defense at this stage.

Zhang Zhu's shadow doppelganger-like defense made the Spurs players feel cold, and they all remembered - it's amazing, this is the guy who can get a sacred vote in the "Best Defensive Player" selection! Will they be able to break through such a defense?

Before they could continue to express their amazement, the Lakers were first hit by a left-wing jumper by Magic, who assisted him by Zhang Mao, who broke under the basket and attracted a lot of defense.

You read that right, Bob Hill's strategy in the first game was to let Zhang Qi score, but the painful defeat made him feel that his team's defense and HP were afraid that they would not be able to hold out in the fourth quarter, so the Spurs' strategy today was changed to not let Zhang Qi score, and he tried his best to block his breakthrough, and did not hesitate to let go of the Lakers' other players for this reason.

Spurs fans will surely say: MMP, isn't it the same?

Of course it's the same, but what can he do if he doesn't?

Bob Hill said: I'm desperate too! I also want to use joint defense, and I want to give that kid a layer of deterrence and a decisive battle abroad.

But the problem is that the rules of the alliance do not allow it, and they can only go to the bag after Zhang Yu breaks through, or before he breaks through.

But the former option is basically to give away points, and in the presence of magic, they can only choose to wait for Zhang Yu to break through and then find a way to block him under the basket.

This time it's not just about making a show, the Spurs players are really trying to trap him this time and find a way to surround him in the penalty area.

However, this kind of containment was slapped in the face in the first offense of the Lakers!

After Zhang Yu burst into the penalty area, he actually jumped up and passed the ball to the outside, but with his height and arm span, coupled with his strong body to open the way, the Spurs players couldn't block this kind of high-throw pass with a bit of a sassy arc.

The Spurs practiced how to defend this kind of pass in training, and later found that the average player will go to the target to pass the ball after jumping up, and the threat will not be too big, because there is no time for you to observe slowly in the air, you can only pass the ball a few blindly, as long as it can be passed to your own hands in the end, but the threat of this kind of ball is really not big.

Although his brain has no time to carefully analyze the position of opponents and teammates in the air, he can pass some threatening balls by relying on his own subconscious judgment, and the quality is basically above B+.

This is another talent suppression, Zhang Qi may not have reacted when passing the ball, but the choices he subconsciously made are often a good route to the ball.

If the passing quality is the highest S-level, his subconscious instinctive passing is basically above B-level, and occasionally he can pass some A- or A-level passes.

This talent is very different from that of a magician, in fact, even if Zhang Wei is given enough time to analyze, he will not be able to pass an S-level pass like a magician, at most it will be A+ to the top.

But instead of thinking about it, he can make a lot of B and A passes.

That's why his breakaway shots are so threatening, he can minimize his reaction time and put all the pressure on himself, so that the opponent is farther away from his teammates and more difficult to return to the defensive position, then his B-level and A-level passes are likely to be more threatening than S-level passes, because teammates can easily get open shots, and it is perfect to pass the ball at this time.

The most important thing is that he is the least afraid of being caught in the crowd, and he can always pass the ball out of the crowd.

The Spurs players soon found out that they couldn't contain Zhang Mao, at least not the basketball in his hand, that guy could always throw the basketball into the hands of his teammates on the outside at the last moment, and then what was waiting for them was a deep despair, and they could only pray in their hearts that the Lakers players couldn't shoot.

At the beginning, the Lakers players may not have felt hot enough after the opening, which did waste a lot of passes from Zhang Mao.

But it doesn't matter, Zhang had enough shells to feed them today, and the Lakers players quickly found their shooting feel with a lot of shots......

At 5 minutes and 16 seconds in the first quarter, Zhang Yu broke through from the left waist position, and jumped up directly after encountering the three-man bag and threw the ball to the bottom corner of the three-point line on the opposite side.

Cebaros immediately took the ball and hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

This is not over, the next offense, the Lakers almost used the same tactics again, but changed the direction, this time it was Finley who hit the three-pointer.

Wait! Doesn't seem right?

Finley and Sebaros are both on the field, so what position does that play in?

Zhang Wei looked at Avery Johnson, who was only 178cm tall, and couldn't help but bow his head and smile lightly, and asked: "Now you should know what kind of advantages you will have in mastering air supremacy, right?" ”

Avery Johnson heard Zhang Zhu's taunt, coupled with this bowing action, his mentality collapsed a little, and he stared at Zhang Zhu with a red face, as if he was going to jump up and hit Zhang Zhu's knees in the next second......
