――――――
Chu Xuan's tactics succeeded, LaVine broke Harris with his excellent offensive attack, although he was also a rookie in the playoffs, but LaVine, as the best rookie, showed his strength as the best in his class, ruthlessly destroying Harris, who was considered the best outside defender among the 14 rookies.
LaVine's success at the No. 2 position brought the Lakers a very big initiative, and the Spurs had to focus on the outside line, and the Spurs' defense line expanded outward, which greatly reduced the pressure on the Lakers' interior offense. In such a situation, Knoll quickly seized the opportunity and scored consecutive mid-range jumpers. The Lakers blossomed inside and out, and the Spurs were immediately overwhelmed, and Popovich tried to get Leonard and Harris to wrap up LaVine, and in this case, Antetokounmpo began to attack the interior strongly. Although he couldn't score a goal, he did get a lot of free throws.
I have to say that the tactical execution shown by the Lakers players in the third quarter of the game is quite strong, and Chu Xuan's several designated tactical arrangements have been successfully implemented, and the powerful performance has ignited the passion and confidence of the players. When the offensive state is good to a certain extent, the defense often seems to be a little inadequate. In the third quarter of the game, the Lakers successfully recovered 7 points and tied the score to 70:69, and the Lakers, who were fighting at home, took a one-point advantage into the final quarter.
"Zach and Norris scored really well in the third quarter, you both had great shots, and Gregg Popovich is definitely going to be going to be on you and their defensive attention is definitely going to be on you. If he does that, it's definitely our chance. Norris is going to get the ball more into the corner and pose a threat to the Spurs' interior. And Zach doesn't shoot too much in the future, I ask you to cut in more without the ball, or if necessary, you can hold the ball and break in, and then pass to the shooter on the perimeter, or go to the layup yourself. ”
Chu Xuan's arrangement also takes into account the possible defensive arrangements of the Spurs, as well as the respective technical characteristics of Noll and LaVine, cutting without the ball is what LaVine is good at, and Noll is good at small hooks and wiping goals, and going to the horn area can definitely force the Spurs to shrink the defensive line, at that time, the Lakers will definitely get a lot of good shooting opportunities on the outside.
Of course, in order to get a good shot, the pitcher's running ability and receiving awareness need to be very good.
Looking at the current Lakers team, it seems that only Jeremy Lin is more suitable.
Now, Lin's shooting ability is quite good, especially the three-point shot, which he shot 42.3% from three-point range in the regular season and 50% in the playoffs. While Jeremy Lin's three-point shooting isn't mass-produced, at least the stats show that he's still shooting a respectable percentage in the limited number of three-point shots. And for such a player, if he finds the shooting feeling, then it is not impossible to break out in a wave.
After all, it was not entirely accidental that Lin Madness, who was popular in New York and even around the world.
"Shuhao, from now on, your mission is no longer to focus on defense. I'm asking you to run and catch and shoot more, and you can choose to shoot threes, shoot mid-range shots, drive layups, and other offensive styles that you think are good. I believe in your ability to read the game and remember, don't hesitate to make an offensive shot. ”
Chu Xuan hopes that Jeremy Lin can bring him some surprises, and as the head coach, Chu Xuan also understands it in his heart. If you want such a player to perform, then the most important thing is to encourage his self-confidence. Because in this NBA arena full of powerful elements, the strength of a person's self-confidence will determine everything about him.
……
"The Lakers actually sent a three-line combination of Yi Jian United, Gasol, and Knoll, and it seems that the Lakers will strengthen their interior offense. The three interior players are all capable of shooting, and the Spurs may have to face a big test. ”
The Lakers' interior line is the biggest headache for other teams in the league, because these interior players not only have a physical advantage, but also are good at offense and defense at the same time, which is a kind of all-round ability that most of the league's interior players do not have. Take the current Spurs as an example, except for Duncan, it is difficult to find an interior line that can be good both offensively and defensively. However, Duncan is 39 years old after all, he is not 29 years old. That made it difficult for him to be able to play effectively against a bunch of young Lakers in 48 minutes.
The three inside lines were on the court, and Noel was naturally moved to the No. 3 position, but although it was a cameo, the Spurs did not dare to let him go, after all, Noel also has a very good mid-to-long range shooting ability.
The ball was in Jeremy Lin's hands, and Knoll picked it up on the flank, then handed the ball to Gasol, who was in charge of the offense at the top of the three-point arc, and LaVine began to cut inside without the ball. Gasol's response ability is indeed very in place and timely, the Spurs inside the door is wide open, and LaVine receives the ball and comes directly to a dunk.
For three minutes, the Lakers' tactics were all similar to this, which easily showed the purpose of the Lakers. Slowly, the Spurs began to ignore Jeremy Lin, who was always on the outside.
After all, Jeremy Lin only scored 5 points now, and after playing in this section, Jeremy Lin only scored 2 points.
However, at this time, Jeremy Lin suddenly began to show his presence, which made the Spurs a little confused.
"Jeremy Milling, received a pass from Yi Jian United and hit a three-point shot."
The score jumped, and a three-pointer was quite critical in today's situation.
But that's just the beginning.
Two minutes later, the same commentary was heard again, and Jeremy Lin hit a three-pointer from the same position again.
Jeremy Lin's offensive possession is low, and his presence is small. Moreover, the tactics that the Lakers are playing also revolve around LaVine and Knoll. However, Popovich always felt that something was wrong, and he felt that maybe things were not so simple.
Popovich quickly set his sights on Jeremy Lin, and he wanted to see some clues from the guy who had caused Lin's madness.
The situation faced by the Spurs began to be a little unfavorable, and after the Lakers were all on the court, the Lakers' offensive and defensive transitions played even more beautifully, and the two sides began to form a mutual explosion situation. So in such a situation, it is completely a matter of fighting whose offensive efficiency is high. In other words, in the last few minutes of now, if any team can have players who can hit consecutive goals on the field, it will definitely be able to change the situation of the game.
"Jeremy Lin, corner three-pointer, shot, hit! Such a perfect goal, three three-pointers in a row. ”
The Staples Center was completely ignited by Jeremy Lin's sudden outburst.
Popovich made a quick decision and immediately called a timeout. He didn't have much time to observe, and although he only watched two rounds, he knew that Jeremy Lin's goal was not accidental, nor did it burst out suddenly, but on purpose. It seems that Chu Xuan, as a coach, should have arranged specific tactics for Jeremy Lin.
"I overlooked Jeremy Milling, the Lakers' offense should have a big role to play, and it was my mistake, and then I can't make him shoot any more threes. Gary ......"
Jeremy Lin's three-point shooting has been smooth, and in a league at the level of the NBA, once the touch comes, any player has the ability to shoot a string.
So, for the Spurs and Popovich, defending Jeremy Lin to shoot threes is undoubtedly a top priority.
Gary Harris went to defend Jeremy Lin and stopped the first shot, and Jeremy Lin missed his fourth three-point shot.
Chu Xuan was immediately alert and understood, Popovich undoubtedly saw through his plan, and the Spurs' defensive focus began to tilt towards Jeremy Lin.
However, Chu Xuan did not pin all his hopes on Jeremy Lin in this game, after all, Jeremy Lin's personal potential is limited, and his personal strength does not allow him to withstand the Spurs' team defense.
However, just as Chu Xuan was about to adjust his tactics slightly and reduce the number of shots Jeremy Lin, he conquered Chu Xuan in another way.
Instead of shooting three-pointers, Jeremy Lin opted to use the cover to make a breakaway layup, and hit it on the first attempt. That sharp breakthrough made Chu Xuan's eyes light up, and he also temporarily suppressed the idea of changing tactics.
"Jeremy Lin, nice breakaway layup."
Zach LaVine's steal, Antetokounmpo's long pass to the frontcourt, Jeremy Lin's fast-break dunk under the pursuit of Kawaii. Oh my God, what did I see, was it a bolt of lightning? Good speed. ”
……
Jeremy Lin made four three-pointers and hit three of them. After that, he scored three two-pointers, so that his personal score in the fourth quarter had reached 15 points. With the addition of the previous 3 points, it means that Jeremy Lin has scored 18 points in this game.
Bursting out and with an efficient offense, Jeremy Lin immediately became a hero at the Staples Center.
The cheers and shouts of the audience were full of high morale and momentum, and in the entire stadium, Jeremy Lin's name was constantly ringing.
Because of Jeremy Lin's outburst, what was originally a defensive battle was suddenly changed.
With no scorching, the Lakers took an 11-point lead, time was running out, and the Spurs were in a big passive position.
Popovich's heart was so cold that he had to admit that he made a tactical mistake in the fourth quarter, ignoring Jeremy Lin, and thus paying an unimaginable price, that is, he could lose the battle of Tianwang Mountain. This was hard for him to accept, and he suddenly showed a strong interest in the young Chinese boy, and he saw the shadow of Tony Parker in Jeremy Lin's body.
However, Popovich didn't have time to think about Jeremy Lin, he didn't want to know what kind of energy this guy had in his body, and he was always able to show the seeds of explosion.
11 points disadvantage, that's too passive.
The game came to a fork in the road, and the Spurs were on the verge of a desperate situation.
For Popovich, every step he takes is on thin ice. Because this battle of Tianwang Mountain is too important, after all, the winning team will be able to get the match point of the series, so as to grasp the initiative and advantage of the series, and then have a very high possibility to advance.
What's more, this game, for the Spurs, is a good chance to win. Because if Kobe Bryant comes back in the next game, then the Spurs' winning level will not be particularly large. And that's when the Spurs were really in danger. So, there is only one way in front of the Spurs, and that is to win this game.
Even with 11 points behind, Popovich had no reason to give up.
'Score a goal, then defend well and then all the problems will be solved.'
Popovich called everyone to his side and said in an unquestioning tone.
……
On the other side of the field, the atmosphere was tense and enthusiastic.
Chu Xuan kept clapping and cheering up the players: "Jeremy is amazing, he saved us." Next, the opponent will definitely launch a crazy counterattack. Your main purpose is to defend well......"
The Lakers' odds of winning are already very good, and everyone doesn't want to let the win slip away from them.
Because such an advantage is not easy to come by. The last game was LaVine, this one was Jeremy Lin, everything was beyond expectations, and it can only be said that God favors the Lakers. Therefore, only cherishing can be worthy of all this.
"With the belief that we must win, it all starts with defense. Come on, come on, come on! ”
A deafening sound resounded through the Staples Center, and the Lakers blew the horn of the charge.
The advantage is on the Lakers' side.
The first goal, which is quite important, is related to whether the Spurs can get off the ground.
It was still Harris who organized the ball, and because of the focus of Popovich's tactics, Harris played the strongest game of the playoffs, and at the critical moment, the ball was still in his hands.
Then, Parker's run, under the quick rotation, Leonard should cover, continuous passing.
In the end, it was Parker's three-point shot, but the basketball popped out of the frame and the rebound was picked up by Duncan!
This position is very close to the basket, and Duncan is about to put the ball in the basket with his long arms.
The scene was extremely tense, but a giant palm put an end to it.
"It was Hassan Whiteside, who blocked Tim Duncan's shot, the crucial block."
DJ shouted excitedly, but the sound was quickly drowned out by a tsunami-like cry.
The Lakers turned around, and Jeremy Lin broke through the foul to make a free throw, making one of two free throws to score one point again.
In just one round, the momentum of the Spurs was completely suppressed, and the Lakers players became more and more excited as they played, because they all knew that the chance to win had come!
As the game progressed, the time left was getting less and less, and the Spurs' hopes of a comeback were getting smaller and smaller.
In the lively Staples Center, a long whistle sounded, and suddenly, crazy cheers and celebrations rang out.
The game was over, the Lakers managed to turn the series around, and they held the absolute advantage.
"Congratulations to the Lakers for their 108-98 home win over the Spurs to take a 3-2 lead in the series. If I watched this game, I thought if I were Mitch Kupchak, then I would have re-signed Jeremy Milling as soon as possible. His performance was incredible, and he directed this victory for the Lakers directly. ”
The name "Lin Crazy" reappeared, with 18 points in the final quarter and 21 points in the game.
Jeremy Lin relied on his crazy scoring performance to kill the Spurs without any explanation. With a 3-2 lead, the Lakers have mastered the match point and are only 1 win away from promotion. Jeremy Lin is undoubtedly the biggest contributor, and he's enjoying the cheers and popularity of the fans at the Staples Center.
Although Lin's individual score was not as good as LaVine's 24 points, he was undoubtedly the best player. As a bench, 21 points in 24 minutes and 18 points in the final quarter, which is completely incredible. Lin is crazy, and it is indeed worthy of his name...... Even if it happens once a year, it's definitely satisfying.
"How big of a contract do you think Jeremy Lin deserves?"
Jeremy Lin's contract has not been finalized for a long time, and now that Jeremy Lin has suddenly exploded in the battle of Tianwang Mountain, then this question naturally has to be raised.
And the question is naturally asked by the Lakers players or head coaches.
Kobe Bryant smiled: "Maximum salary, if I were the boss, I would like to give him a maximum salary." ”
……
……
Everyone's answers were varied, but they all gave a number.
As the head coach, Chu Xuan's answer was relatively different.
"A person's worth is priceless. And as a player, Lin's crazy value is immeasurable, it depends on his hard work and results. (To be continued.) )
