In the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Westphal can be said to have turned around, directly from the eyes of fans and critics for a long time "hard enough, but the level is really not enough" level of coach, immediately turned around and became a master of tactics.

"Westphall wouldn't be a master tactician if he had just used a tactic that was difficult for opponents to guard against in a series. But in the first round of the series, he sacrificed super tactics twice in a row, which is very worthy of people's respect. ”

For this reason, many media also launched a special discussion, and former stars, coaches, and experts gathered together to conduct a detailed analysis of Westphal's two extremely well-designed tactics, and then inevitably blew Westphal.

What's even more terrifying is that when the game comes to a critical moment, the two sets of tactics he has laid out can be exchanged at any time. The three core players, no matter who holds the ball, can attack directly. This proves that these two sets of tactics are not some temporary life-saving tactics, but the best tactics that have been studied for a long time before they come up with it! ”

"Tut-tut, it's blowing so hard."

Three days after the Battle of Mt. Tenno, Sacramento.

The Spurs players have already arrived in the away city, and after a half-day of recovery practice, their bodies are adjusted to their best, and they are waiting for the evening game to begin.

Sitting in the visiting locker room, on the TV, Sacramento local TV, that was a blow to Westphal, and the Spurs players who listened to it were a little unhappy.

"It's just an occasional dumpling, is there such an exaggeration?"

Gary Niel couldn't pay attention to the local media's blowing, squinted at the TV screen, and said with an unhappy face: "If we hadn't grasped it well in the transition section, even if they used this tactic, they might not have been able to win us!" Our offense hasn't been maxed out yet, and there's still room to tap into the potential! ”

"Indeed."

Maddie has reached this stage of his career, that is, the Spurs who are running for the championship ring, although he has already looked down on the ups and downs on the rivers and lakes, but Neil's words are indeed reasonable, and the former core of the Rockets also nodded on the side: "We should be more inclined to attack, just fight with them with bayonets, we may not necessarily lose." ”

"Alas, who can blame this~"

Dior has become a ball of fat, becoming a flexible dead fat man in the real sense, wearing slippers and holding a glass of goblet red wine that I don't know where to get, gently shaking it on the fingertips, and at the end of the nose forward, smelling the aroma deeply from near the mouth of the cup, and enjoying it: "It's us who didn't play well, our substitutes didn't go inside more on the offensive end, and of course we are to blame for losing~!" ”

Although the words were a little too direct, the Spurs players knew that Dio was right.

The Kings' current bench lineup is very, very poor in height, and it's a super small-ball lineup.

Thomas Jr., Gimmer the Great, Marcus Thornton, Dream Green, Royce White.

Judging from the registered position, the King's bench lineup is three guards and two power forwards, which doesn't seem to be too bad, and in this era of small ball, it doesn't suffer too much.

BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE TWO BIG FORWARDS ON THE KING'S BENCH, BOTH OF WHICH ARE UNDERSIZE POWER FORWARDS, HAVE GOOD REBOUNDING PROTECTION CAPABILITIES, BUT THE HEIGHT IS THERE, AND THE SPURS INSIST ON BEATING THEM INSIDE, AND THERE IS ALWAYS A CHANCE TO CHISEL THEM THROUGH.

"Going inside? I disagree. ”

The man is tall and big, but he almost never goes to the anti-aircraft trebuchet that he fights on the inside - Matt Bonner listened to Dior's words, was very disapproving, shook his head and said: "Actually, the defense of the King's bench is very strong, what kind of Royce, the running and jumping ability is terrifying, I don't know how Boris you feel when you fight, anyway, I can't move him." ”

"Of course I can move." Dio smelled the aroma of red wine again, and seemed to be not satisfied with the degree of sobering, frowning and said: "But brother is not rare to hit inside, do you want me to beat my back?" At least LeBron-level opponents are qualified~"

"Come on, you! Pharmacy Bilian not?? ”

Bonner rolled his eyes and said, "And that dream, my God, this guy must have taken gunpowder before the came on the field, it's a perpetual motion machine!" I haven't stopped on the court, I've retreated to the three-point line, this guy is still slamming at me, and his jersey is about to be torn by him, is it necessary?? ”

"Is it necessary that you don't have points in your mind?"

Mills smiled: "You are also a name for the inside, you are simply a scoring guard pure shooter, you retreat to the three-point line and people don't chase you, waiting to be shot through by you??" ”

"That's right, I'm more accurate."

Bonner shrugged, then his eyes fell on Mills, and he smiled maliciously: "So their defense on the inside line is quite passable, no matter how much height suffers, Boris and I are not people who have to go to the inside line, and it is impossible to really go to the low post to fight for their height." But their bench perimeter defense ...... It's basically an ATM, and you should be fighting to catch up with the bombardment, it's clearly you outside players! ”

"Passing the buck! You're shirking your responsibilities! ”

Mills stopped doing it, and his body was always unhappy: "Their outside defense is poor, but the offense is hanging!" Do you think I'm good defensively with Gary, Tracy, Joseph? Doesn't it take stamina to keep up with the three of their backup scorers? ”

"I don't care, it's the responsibility of the outside line to lose anyway." Bonner actually began to play with the child's temper, turned around and sat directly on the chair, with an expression of "what Lao Tzu said is the truth".

", it's clearly the responsibility of the insider! You're reversing right and wrong! Mills was also a straight gut, pointing at Bonner and scolding.

"Okay, okay, what's so noisy?"

Dior smiled, this situation is often seen in the Spurs locker room, saying that it is a quarrel, but in fact, it is just fighting with each other and looking for some motivation for the game.

After all, for these substitute players, their careers are not as successful as GDP, there are no rings at hand, and their personalities are more active, especially Australian kangaroos like Mills, who really let him learn from the main players, and he can't stand it without smiling poker faces.

But the game is about to start, and it is not a way to quarrel and fight here, Dior is also a good person, and he opened his mouth to mediate: "Lose, everyone doesn't want to, everyone has the responsibility, and the next game is ...... to continue to work hard."

"Actually, you've done a good job."

With a "whoosh", Dior's hands were empty, and the wine glass was gone.

In my ears, a familiar voice rang out.

"Don't look at their tactics, they seem to be playing very comfortably, but the last game was a loss, we still achieved a lot of things. Other than that...... Boris, don't drink before the game, how many times have I said that? This kind of intestinal poison will be taken by the teacher, and I will help you take it! …… Grunt! ”

The old drunkard snatched love from Dior's hand, took a sip of the wine glass, felt the tempting aroma of wine between his lips and teeth, and the red spots on his nose were about to explode.

“…… Count you ruthless. ”

Dior was also helpless, so he took the wine glass from the old drunkard and put it aside, wondering where to get a cup of mellow handmade coffee.

"Well done? Did you do well when you lost?? ”

The words of the old drunkard made the Spurs players a little incredulous, they never thought that one day, they would lose under the old drunkard, and they would still be appreciated! It's like the sun is coming out in the west, the first time!

"It's a bit discouraging, but in the last game, we lost, and that's a normal result."

The old drunkard didn't seem to have a problem with his brain, and said seriously: "What kind of demon horn is that, I have already studied it, if you don't make prior preparations, if you suddenly encounter it on the field, it is an incomprehensible tactic, and we can't just crack it if we change it on the spot." But if my speculation is correct, the Kings, no, Westphal's calculations, must have been broken by us......"

Meanwhile, the home team dressing room.

"It's a tough game."

Westphaal is also doing the final pre-game mobilization, looking at the appearance of the love generals united, although he is a little unwilling in his heart, but he still has to admit that he should admit: "In the last game, our tactics have been overdrawn. ”

"Overdraft ......?"

Gu Yu didn't quite understand what the old man meant, and said puzzledly: "Tactics can still be overdrawn??" ”

"Absolutely."

The old man nodded, frowned, and said: "My original plan was that in Tianwang Mountain, suddenly using the Spanish blockade should be enough to defeat the Spurs." Then in this game, before the start of the game, Greg must have found a way to crack it. If we use the combination of Spanish blocking and THRU-DON to swap the game, the Spurs who can play will be caught off guard, and with our home court, we can continue to win. ”

"But in the last game, we used the tactics of this game early."

When everyone heard this, they were silent.

The old coach made it clear that in his opinion, a perfect tactic could help the Kings win a game. Two perfect tactics mean two wins.

Then combine these two tactics, and the Spurs will lose the other, and the third victory will be in hand. In this way, in the best-of-seven series, the Kings can win at least three games, and they are equal with the Spurs.

In the last game, the two sides are equivalent to returning to the same running line, who loses and who wins, it is not something that Westphaal can control, and it is up to the players to play to decide the winner.

The reason why Westfair was able to come up with such an overall strategy was that the old drunkard's on-the-spot command was not the best in the world, and the Kings had a chance here.

But now, the Spurs' adjustment speed is indeed as Westphal expected, one adjustment at a time.

But the Spurs' offensive firepower is beyond the imagination of the old coach.

So......

"This game is the seventh game, we have to be ready, this round of the series ......"

The old man said in a deep voice: "We will play two games to tie seven ......!" ”
