Chapter 642: Four Pairs

When a team is really cornered, even if they don't dare to try or touch something in normal times, they will eventually touch it, just like the current Spurs, the team that is first in the West does not have much advantage against the Kings who are second in the West. Even at a disadvantage all the time.

And what is even more tragic is that this disadvantage is increasingly crushing them, in this case, the Spurs have almost no choice but to change or change, but it is clear that Po*vic now has only one person in this Spurs team that he can trust, and he did not put the treasure on David Robinson and Louis Scola, as many people speculated, both of whom were finally abandoned by him.

And even if he wanted to make a change, he finally chose to trust Duncan without hesitation, so that the team's tactical system completely became a need for Duncan to win after winning after winning Webb and Divac, in this case, this choice is more risky in the eyes of others, the choice of Webber is one of the four big forwards selected by many experts in the last one or two seasons, although it is not as good as Duncan and Garnett like double MVP players, but it is also the top interior line in the league, If Duncan only needs to decide the team's victory or defeat with Webber alone in the end, then not many people may be worried about the Spurs' interior line, because among all the big forwards in the league, the number of people who can win one-on-one with Duncan is almost 0, and even another talented power forward, Garnett, is at a disadvantage most of the time when he meets the Spurs leader, in this case, Duncan also has enough strength to beat Webb, but now, Duncan's opponent is not just a Weber.

Although Divac is far from being the All-Star-level center of the year, but the player's height and skills are still very good, and it is really impossible to say that one person can single-handedly pick up the inside line of these two people in the entire league, maybe the former Chamberlain Zhang Baifen has such legendary skills, and for Duncan, no one will believe and think so, at least Stephen Green, the assistant coach of the Boston Celtics in front of the TV, does not believe in his best friend very much, he has a good relationship with Duncan, The two are not only teammates in Wake Forest, but also classmates, friends and even roommates, in this case he knows Duncan almost well, perhaps to some extent better than Zhuang Fei, in this case Stephen Green does not think that Duncan can do this, this can be said to be a basically impossible task, and there is not even any suspense.

"Coach, Po*vic is too dependent and too trusting of Thiem, it's not a good thing, a manager's final tactics can't be bet on one player"

Stephen Green also sighed while looking at the figure on the TV screen and said, Po*Vich's tactics in this game are almost equivalent to the three outside lines that he used to deal with the other four people on the team against the Kings, and the team's interior line was all handed over to Duncan, in this case, maybe Po*Vich can make his four outside lines and the King's three outside lines fight out, but this is still a tactic and system that completely requires Duncan's personal play to implement, which is not the behavior that a coach should have, At the very least, at the Boston Celtics, Zhuang Fei's tactics will never put the fate of the team in the hands of one person, even if he faced the unstoppable Carter in the last round.

He believes that his head coach will never end up with a strategy that will make Maddie go one-on-one with Carter to determine the fate of the team, which is not a rational thing to do. So at this time, the assistant coach of the Boston Celtics was dissatisfied with Po*vic's arrangement, but he was dissatisfied and complained about his assistants and disciples, but Zhuang Fei on the side smiled, and now Green is a very visionary and good enough head coach, but he has never experienced any NBA playoffs, and has never really commanded a playoff game that is almost a moment of life and death. This is an extremely normal thing, a coach needs to go through a lot of things to really mature, at least for the current Green, he has not paid attention to what kind of attitude an NBA head coach needs to look at the outcome of a game, that is, unscrupulous, this is very cruel, without any idealism, the reason why Zhuang Fei did not bet on the outcome of a game on a player is not because Zhuang Fei is high, nor because Zhuang Fei still has an idealized basketball concept in his heart, It's because Zhuang Fei hasn't been cornered yet, when Zhuang Fei is cornered, he doesn't think he can still remain indifferent, at least he will do things like Po * Vich today, if his team has a player like Duncan and O'Fat or Carter, this is not a very difficult thing to decide, it's all for victory, so Zhuang Fei After a short period of distraction, he is extremely appreciative of Spurs' head coach Po * Vicchi, At least in this tactical arrangement, his approach can be recognized by Zhuang Fei, to a certain extent, both of them are unscrupulous people for victory, but for now, Zhuang Fei is hiding deeply.

Of course, for all this, Zhuang Fei did not plan to explain anything or explain anything to his assistant in the future, because it was useless to explain, as long as Green did not have this real experience of such a scene, it was difficult for him to bring that kind of mood, and all of this required his own comprehension, for his own talented, but still many shortcomings of the disciple, Zhuang Fei also maintained enough patience, after all, he was only 28 years old, he had enough time to comprehend these. It's just that for Green, he didn't speak again after he saw Zhuang Fei smile slightly, and the assistant of the Boston Celtics was also a little confused, and he seemed to be wondering if he had said something wrong just now. It's just that Zhuang Fei didn't give her an answer at this time.

The strength of the Spurs is very strong, and the strength of the king is also very strong, there is no doubt that these two teams are competitive enough at least this year, although the king has always occupied the initiative in the game, this is a round of two teams fighting for offense, in this case, naturally whoever has a better offense will be able to get the initiative on the court, so this game is very simple for the Spurs, they just need to do everything possible to limit the king's offense, and then as long as the king's offense is separated, In this case, this team did not hesitate to get three small forwards, completely giving up their own interior protection and support for Duncan, and directly exposing Duncan to Webb and Divac, in this case, the king naturally knew how to play.

So although this game is the sixth game of an extremely anxious Western Conference Finals, the tactics of the two teams are very happy, the two teams almost know what the other team wants to do, and then they also know what the other party's intentions are, in such a general situation, the tactics and adjustments of the two teams are almost completely transparent, which is also in a sense to promote the fighting style of the two team coaches, because this allows the two head coaches to know what the other team wants to do almost without guessing, and this also weakens the role of the two team coaches, When these two head coaches can understand each other and find a way to deal with each other, naturally everything in this game is no longer dominated by the players, but completely hands over the final decision of the game to the players, so what makes Zhuang Fei extremely surprised in this game is that this game or the subsequent series will eventually evolve into a picture of Duncan fighting Webb and Divac at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends. To a certain extent, such a situation can also save a certain amount of work for scouts of the Boston Celtics team, at least now Zhuang Fei doesn't really need some reports about Duncan, because under such a pinch, if you want to win the game, then you need Duncan to play all his strength or even 120% of his strength, so it is impossible for Duncan to hide.

"Stephen, what do you think of it now?" At Stephen Green's home, Zhuang Fei smiled and pressed the remote control in his hand, and the TV in front of him was also turned off between Zhuang Fei's presses, as for the game between the Spurs and the Grizzlies, it was naturally over, and the game was almost a completely unexpected result, in this game, Duncan, the boss of the Spurs, made six fouls when there were 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

But in the end, the Spurs actually won on the road, the final score of this game was 95-90, the Spurs won by 5 points, and when Duncan went off the court, the Spurs were leading by 10 points, this game can be arranged by Po*vic to let Duncan directly face the Kings' two All-Star interior and the others are against the Kings' other players, which is a completely split defense.

To some extent, this is similar to Zhuang Fei's strategy to deal with the king, when Zhuang Fei was in the Timberwolves, he used the team's Garnett and Ovac Jr. Divac and Webber to not be able to connect with other Kings players, mainly because the original Timberwolves' interior defense was too strong, so Zhuang Fei chose a two-to-two direct isolation of the king's interior line, and the outside line was handed over to Pierce to deal with it, and it was precisely because Zhuang Fei had such a cutting tactic to break Princeton's whole, So every time the king meets Zhuang Fei's team, he will definitely kneel, but this time Po*vic, although he does not have Xiao Ao and Garnett, has three excellent all-round small forwards.

In this case, the head coach of the Spurs chose to cut the outside of the king very flexibly, which is Zhuang Fei's way of restraining the king, and the cunning head coach of the Spurs has just changed. For example, when Zhuang Fei cuts the King's inside line, he needs the Timberwolves' outside line to beat the King's outside line to win the game, and Po * Vich wants to cut the King's outside line, so his own inside line also needs to be forced, and Duncan is really powerful in this game, completely living up to the confidence and expectations of the Spurs head coach, although the Spurs boss was finally sent off, But the current strongest power forward and one of the interior lines in the league is really not suppressed or at a disadvantage in a one-on-two situation, at least he can maintain balance and not lose, which is why the Spurs have been able to lead the Kings slightly with a few minutes left, one-on-two, although Duncan did not win this game, but did not lose, and the Spurs won, as for Po*vic, he bet right.

"How?" After hearing Zhuang Fei's question, the assistant coach of the Boston Celtics also shook his head with a wry smile, Duncan's strength is beyond his imagination, and he can still cut 32 points, 28 rebounds and 7 blocks in a pair in the face of strong interior lines like Webb and Divac, which is almost close to 30+30 data, and the other party's two major interior data add up to Duncan, although Duncan has played more terrifying data before, but a person who has been facing two people is not comparable to other games, This game almost gave Stephen Green a new understanding of Duncan, the interior who lost to Carter in the MVP this season definitely has the same ability to determine the game as Carter, and it is the kind of ability to blow up the opponent's All-Star level like Carter, and then recall the embarrassment of Xiao Ao and Yao Ming in the face of Duncan in this year's regular season, the assistant coach also shook his head helplessly again, but although he admitted the correctness of Po*Vich's tactics, the assistant coach obviously still disagreed with Bo* Vicky, and for his disciple's thoughts, Zhuang Fei still smiled and didn't say anything more.

And the day after the Spurs defeated the Kings on the road, the seventh game between the Kings and the Spurs, the Boston Celtics also ushered in their opponents in the Finals.

On June 5, in the tie-break between the Spurs and the Kings, the Spurs defeated the Kings 88-80 at home, and the Kings, who were the league's No. 1 offensive team in the whole game, only scored 80 points, but Duncan played a shocking league stats of 22 points, 32 rebounds, 11 assists, 11 blocks and 5 steals, which was the first playoff quadruple-double in NBA history and the fifth quadruple-double in NBA history, and it was also the second player in the Spurs to score a quadruple-double after David Robinson. The Spurs star reached the pinnacle of his career in 2003. (To be continued.)
