Popovich is a coach who is very good at exploiting the potential of his players, and almost all the players who have played under him have found their own position, so in recent years, there has been a rumor in the league: "Spurs must be good." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

It is precisely because of Popovich that the Spurs have been able to stand among the giants for more than ten years, although Popovich is old and stubborn, but in terms of coaching, Popovich is not a conformist, unchanged old stubborn, on the contrary, he can always follow the pace of the times and follow the trend of the league.

The Spurs during Duncan's period were based on defense, and if a team trailed the Spurs by more than 10 points in the game, it was extremely difficult to turn the tables, so those teams and stars who had created miracles were often based on the Spurs, such as Fisher's 0.4-second kill, Maddy's 35.13 seconds, Grizzlies' Black Eight Miracle, and so on.

The reason why the miracle is called a miracle is to make the impossible possible, which also highlights the strength and stability of the Spurs from the side, with the prosperity of the small ball, Popovich adjusted the Spurs' three-point and speed to a new height, and it is by relying on sharp three-point long-range shooting to complete the revenge on the Heat, and won the championship again after seven years.

So, with the Spurs now having a rock-solid Duncan defense and a three-pointer that won the championship in '14, Popovich blends the traditional and the emerging almost flawlessly.

The discomfort on the defensive end caused the offensive feel to be also affected, and the Knicks failed to attack several consecutive waves, and the Spurs took the opportunity to play a wave of 8-0 small climax, overtaking the score at the same time, and stretching the difference to 7 points.

The situation on the court changed abruptly, Wang Zhuo was unexpected, of course, Wang Zhuo would never watch the Knicks being beaten, in the Spurs' wave of offensive misses, when Noah grabbed the rebound, he signaled to the referee to pause, adjust the lineup, and make countermeasures.

During the pause, Wang Zhuo replaced Grant and sent O'Quinn on the court, so the Knicks' lineup on the court became Rose, Anthony, O'Quinn, Porzingis and Noah.

In Grant's absence, Rose returned to his role as point guard, and Anthony was put at shooting guard to avoid head-to-head encounters with Leonard and regain his power on the offensive end.

Defensively, O'Quinn is placed at small forward, with enough mobility and flexibility to keep up with Leonard, and his height and physique are strong enough to cause Leonard a lot of problems.

As for David Lee, the offense is good, but the defense is enough to offset all the contributions on the offensive end, Porzingis is enough to deal with, and Wang Zhuo also deliberately told Porzingis to prove himself and let fans know that he can support the Knicks' interior line better than David Lee at his peak.

Although the lineup sent by the Spurs has increased the speed, it is not invulnerable, the biggest hole is the center, Aldridge has a high offensive efficiency, but he is a player who does not like physical confrontation, and now replacing Gasol, Aldridge has to play the role of center forward that he is not good at.

Correspondingly, the Knicks sent three high insiders and could almost do whatever they wanted to ravage the Spurs' restricted area, Wang Zhuo only changed one person, but achieved the finishing touch, of course, the Knicks should pay attention to the need to slow down the Spurs' speed and control the rhythm on the court.

At the end of the timeout, the players from both sides re-entered the court, Rose controlled the ball, and the old business of heavy ball control guards seemed to be at ease, dribbling to the front court, and directly assisting Porzingis to dunk the ball, and David Lee's defensive holes were unmistakable.

On the defensive end, the Knicks carried out a full-court pressing, forcing the Spurs into the half-court position, and after falling into the positional battle, the Knicks players carried out a local joint defense, due to the advantage of the Knicks' interior line, even breakthrough masters like Parker and Ginobili did not dare to tear apart the Knicks' defense with a breakthrough, and in the end, Ginobili chose to shoot three points from the outside at the end of the 24-second offensive time.

This time, the demon knife was obviously not out of the sheath, the ball smashed on the top edge of the rebound, and in the process of falling down, it was grabbed by Noah and handed to Rose, and the Spurs' sense of defense was quite positive, and at the moment when Ginobili shot, all the players had begun to run back.

Rose advanced to the frontcourt, playing an unhurried half-court position, the biggest disadvantage of the speed lineup is the interior defense, and the advantage of the Knicks is precisely all on the inside, Anthony is in the position, against Ginobili.

Anthony has always been a small forward, but he has the power of a scoring guard, so for Anthony, there is no essential difference between playing a scoring guard and a small forward, just score anyway, facing Ginobili, which is not as good as before, can be described as bullying the elderly.

I saw Anthony carrying Ginobili to the inside line easily, Leonard saw that the situation was not good, and came from one side to help defend, but he didn't dare to let go of O'Quinn completely, Anthony stopped, singled with his back, O'Quinn understood, cut inside without the ball, and Leonard hurriedly chased after the defense.

Without Leonard's help in defense, Anthony leaned back and turned directly to hook his hand, Ginobili had more than enough strength and could only helplessly watch the ball jump into the basket.

Wang Zhuo's substitution had an immediate effect, and in just two minutes, the Knicks played a wave of 9-2 small climax to equalize the score, Wang Zhuo only changed one player, and Popovich's trick instantly came to naught.

The atmosphere of the Madison Square Garden Arena was instantly brought to a climax by the Knicks' attack, and the cheers and screams of the fans came and went, filling every corner of the arena, and the Zen master's smile became stronger and stronger, I don't know whether it was affected by the Christmas atmosphere or impressed by Wang Zhuo's on-the-spot adaptability.

Lin Yao sat silently on the sidelines, in her eyes, no matter how fierce and exciting the game was, it was meaningless, the only thing worth doing was to accompany the person she loved, silently watch him, cheer for him, and cheer for him.

Popovich's old face was extremely embarrassed, but he still maintained his demeanor, and did not show the slightest anger or anger, at this time, the referee blew the official timeout whistle, and the players of both sides returned to their respective benches.

Ginobili sat down and gulped Gatorade, feeling more and more overwhelmed, especially after the Knicks changed lineups, facing a suffocating local joint defense, his body was really a little unbearable.

There is also Parker who feels the same way as Ginobili, although Parker no longer has a central position, but he still plays a tandem role that cannot be ignored, but the Knicks' joint defense makes him feel a little at a loss of what to do.

The scorer's score came to 23-23, and after the pause, the game entered the moment of rotation lineup, and Popovich and Wang Zhuo will also start a new round of matchup. (To be continued.) )
