Chapter 121: Coach D Strikes His Might, Defeats UCLA Air Cut!
Nash's opening two three-pointers made the Spurs fans at the scene tremble a little.
Who are the Spurs' most familiar opponents over the years?
Some might say it's the Thunder, others might say the Grizzlies.
But as long as the Spurs fans who have watched the game for more than three years, in the face of this problem, they will say that it is the Suns and Nash.
For Nash, in addition to Nash's own fans, Spurs fans are most familiar.
And this Nash in the opening scene is definitely not the Nash they are familiar with!
This three points, this steal, where is this still the same Nash before!
How could Nash have attacked like this before, how could he have broken off like this!
"Is this the Nash that the coach wants the world to reacquaint?!"
It can only be said that Nash, who has been reshaped by the coach, has given people a completely different feeling.
It gives people the feeling that Nash can still play like this!
Seeing Nash start so strongly.
Yi Jianlian on the court was very happy, in his dream, he and Nash, Nowitzki, the three of them, were broken up by the Spurs!
After being broken up by Spurs.
Spurs became a nightmare for the trio.
In fact, Nash is the worst.
In front of the TV, D'Antoni's originally bitter face also showed a smile, and at this moment, he finally understood what an incredible existence he had always envied and envied.
Steve Nash!
This is Steve Nash!
He can actually transform it!
And the transformation is so silky and perfect!
Originally, before the game, I heard that the coach was going to make Nash @
The counterattack starts now!"
Du Kang looked at the Spurs fans who were booing loudly at this time, then at the confident Bobo, smiled, and did not speak, but looked at the court.
Popovich looked at the kid who didn't eat oil and salt, and also gritted his teeth and looked at the court.
Stinky boy, do you really think we're clippers?
I said that the counterattack starts now, you think it is to scare you?
We, the Spurs, are going crazy now to show you what is the strongest team in the NBA!
On the court, under the urging of Spurs fans, the Spurs players on the court finally played the Lakers' half this time.
Well, I don't dare to serve the baseline ball quickly, and play that kind of five-five pass.
The Spurs' offense is really layered right now.
Parker ran quickly after handing over the ball, Split kept cruising to block and cover, and Duncan was constantly up and down.
The ball is constantly rotating in the hands of the Spurs players.
Basketball is also constantly tearing at the Lakers' defense between in and out.
In the average NBA team, three passes are basically attacked.
Like the Lakers G4 playing the Clippers, the Clippers can't wait to pass the ball once, and attack directly after two passes.
Like the Thunder, if you don't pass the ball, you attack directly.
And the Spurs, eager to pass the ball to the basket.
Well, basketball is not football, and what goes to the basket means to pass to the player who is in the open position.
The Spurs' UCLA cut in the air, eager to pass every pass to pass the open opportunities.
"UCLA Air Cut, it's really amazing, this is the strongest Spurs I've ever coached!"
Popovich sighed with a smile.
it!
Budenholzer behind Popovich was stunned.
Is it Bobo who provokes the NTR war this time?
Bobo's words are equivalent to saying in front of the coach, your LP is so fun, I have a lot of fun, I have the best I have ever played, and you can't play it yourself!
Budenholzer now wants to see how the coach counters.
It's just that to Budenholzer's surprise, the coach actually didn't fight back!
There was still a smile on his face, and even his expression did not change.
What's going on?
Did the coach give up?
But if you think about it a little, UCLA air cut is such a perfect tactic, although the Spurs have not yet achieved great success, but in terms of the Lakers' staffing and defensive ability, there is really nothing to be done.
Bobo, this war of words with the coach, you are finally going to win!
Just when Budenholzer was happy for Bobo......
Just as Popovich smiled with satisfaction.
Du Kang finally spoke.
"You've got too many passes."
What?
Almost at the same time.
When Leonard, who broke through one step, passed the ball out......
Bang!
Leonard's pass, once again stealed!
"Nash, Nash again, Nash steals Leonard's pass again!"
"Oh my God, Steve Nash stole a pass straight from the Spurs' UCLA air-cut system!"
The Spurs' fierce tiger-like tactical coordination just now, and the coordination of people moving the ball, are indeed dazzling to watch.
A horse that looks strong.
The Lakers' defense was completely exhausted.
It's just that no one thought that such a powerful offensive system would suddenly snap and collapse!
And it's not Kobe Bryant, it's not Maddie, it's not Yi Jianlian, it's not Howard, it's Nash!
"Cut off UCLA's empty pass!"
"Oh my God!"
In front of the TV, Ben Holland, the head coach of UCLA University and Du Kang's mentor at UCLA University, stood up from his seat excitedly.
In this year's playoffs, the Spurs used the UCLA system to defeat the Warriors, and after they made a big splash, the pressure on them, the disciples of UCLA, was great.
In the regular season, the Spurs played the UCLA air cut, and you could say that the NBA regular season game was not intense enough.
But in the playoffs, the Spurs not only played out, but also saved the team at critical moments and broke the opponent, you have nothing to say about this, right?
There really is nothing to say.
UCLA Orthodoxy in Spurs.
For the ridicule of many people in the NCAA and American basketball circles, the apprentices and grandchildren of the UCLA department are indeed blushing and have nothing to say.
Let's just put it this way.
This series between the Lakers and the Spurs, the coach of the UCLA department, is very stressful.
If Popovich uses the UCLA air cut to destroy the prince coach of the UCLA department, they will have no place to put their faces in the future, and they will not have the face to see John Wooden in the future, let alone the number one NCAA giant, and they will not be able to raise their heads.
So, when the Spurs showed off the UCLA air cut in their first offensive round, many UCLA coaches in front of the TV were really trembling.
It's just that no one thought of it!
Spurs' UCLA air cut, directly broken!
It's not that the shot misses, it's that it's directly broken and broken!
And it's also Nash, the weakest defense of the Spurs, broken!
It's incredible!
"No, that's a slap in the face!"
"Show off my sect's magic skills in front of me, and I'll use the weakest person in my sect to beat you down!"
Fack!
Come to think of it.
Ben Holland trembled with excitement!
I really have the qualifications of a master when I am young!
And on the sidelines, Popovich was dumbfounded.
Rubbing his eyes, Popovich looked at Dukang in shock.
"It was an accident, right?"
"Guess."
After Du Kang finished laughing, Popovich gritted his teeth, hating his teeth itching, he hated this kid so much, he didn't once be able to get any useful words out of this kid's mouth.
But!
Popovich absolutely doesn't believe Nash can break the UCLA air cut!
Anyone who was Popovich would not believe it.
Du Kang glanced at the old man next to him who gritted his teeth and smiled.
UCLA is indeed strong.
In the entire history of basketball, there has been no way to crack it!
UCLA air cutting is the perfect tactic!
Less talented, less physical, not even so technical.
It's all about the ball quotient that plays!
The requirements for ball dealers are extremely high.
It's not like Princeton's ball quotient that only needs one or two key players.
It's that everyone in the system needs to have a high ball quotient.
That's why it's so hard to build.
That's why it's the hardest to defend.
No matter how fast you run, can you get the ball fast?
No matter how good your defensive skills are, you can't catch up with the ball, and you are useless as a hero.
It's all about the ball!
Defend UCLA air cuts, don't guard people, defend the ball.
See the path of the ball and block it.
Nash may be the strongest player in the entire NBA, or even the entire basketball world, right now!
91 steals, purple level interceptors, passing insight and other organizational attributes are almost full, and there are five purple organization-related skills.
Not to mention the active player, even in the entire basketball history, I'm afraid there is only one such person as Nash.
After he raised Nash's steal attribute to more than 90, Nash's defense was a qualitative improvement.
Maybe Nash is still very weak in defense of people now.
But that's the defense of the ball, the first in history!
Even if it's not the first in history, it's the first in history!
Nash is the nemesis of the Spurs, the not-so-perfect UCLA air cut!
A truly perfect UCLA air cut, there won't be so many passes, and after three times, it's a one-hit kill.
UCLA air cuts, not the more passes the better.
The Spurs kept passing the ball because they couldn't kill the defense with four passes.
The more you pass, the more you give Nash a chance to judge the ball.
These are some of the things that John Wooden's family sent him as an internal study material for the future prince of UCLA.
"Fight back, start now!"
it!
Hearing Du Kang say what he just said to himself, Popovich almost broke the defense in that moment.
This kid is too TM to be careful!
On the court, Nash cut off Leonard's pass and immediately pushed the fast break.
Lakers players on the court.
Howard, Yi Jianlian, Maddie, Kobe Bryant plus himself, the outside line is indeed not so fast.
But Howard and Yi Jianlian ran fast!
After the speed is up.
Duncan and Split were left behind in the end.
And in front, the Lakers are almost five to three!
Five against three, and it was still the Nash organization, and the Spurs fans on the scene were desperate.
No one knows better than them how strong Nash is!
After Nash pressed Howard and Yi Jianlian into the three-point line, he faced the crazy shrinkage of Leonard, Green and Parker to protect the basket, and passed the ball behind to Maddy outside the three-point line.
"Maddie is empty!"
"Fack! Maddie didn't shoot!"
Seeing that Maizi received Nash's pass and did not shoot at the first time, but was waiting for Duncan to come up behind him, Barkley directly burst into foul language!
The Spurs fans at the scene, after being stunned for a moment, immediately let out loud laughter and boos.
Duncan's athleticism wasn't that fast, but the court wasn't short, it wasn't long, and Maddie adjusted it a little twice, and Duncan came up.
Then, in front of more than 20,000 Spurs fans, Maizi turned his back and broke through Duncan, who was unstable, and then stepped back and pulled out, breaking through to the right with two consecutive crotches to pass Duncan again, this Nima's, this is not over!
After passing Duncan for the second time, Maizi took the initiative to pause, and after Duncan came up, he turned his back and passed Duncan again, and then came to the three-point line again.
"Fack! What kind of grudge does TMC and Duncan have, does TMC need to show Duncan like this?!"
O'Neill in the TNT commentary seat was stunned!
After Duncan was turned around in the opposite direction, he looked left and looked again, and his first reaction was that the wheat might be trying to pull away his defense and shoot the mid-range.
Duncan didn't even expect that the wheat would break through to the three-point line in reverse!
"Tim, back."
The joyful sound of wheat sounded.
When Duncan senses that the wheat is at the three-point line behind him.
It was too late for him to turn around and go back to defense.
Wheat arc top three-point line, almost empty three-point shot, hit!
9 to 0!
The Lakers started the game 9-0!
"Oh my God!"
"Incredible TMC!
Incredible Nash!
Incredible Lakers!
Incredible coach!
Coach crushes Popovich's UCLA air cut head-on!
Nash crushed the Spurs' offense head-on!
TMC crushes Duncan's defense head-on!
The Lakers started this game unbelievably well!"
Barkley's roar of passion resounded almost through the entire AT&a;T silence.
At this point, the entire AT&
; a; The T Arena can really be described as silent.
The fierce Spurs fans just now are really dumbfounded at this time.
The Spurs are also the most watched fans and the most watched playoff fans in the NBA fan base.
But even so.
Where have they ever seen such an opening!
"It's gorgeous, this Laker, it's gorgeous!"
AT&a;T arena is silent.
But in other parts of the country, in front of the TV, on the Internet, and even across the ocean in China, at this time, I don't know how many people are screaming, cheering, and crazy.
On the sidelines, Popovich's face was particularly ugly at this time.
is not only the reason why the situation is not good, but more importantly, Maizi actually played his Duncan so much just now!
In the first round of G6 in the West, Curry just grabbed Duncan's loophole and played a few ordinary rounds, Popovich couldn't stand it, replaced Duncan, and then sacrificed UCLA air cuts, which directly collapsed the Warriors 17-4, and made Curry's last 4 minutes and 1 point missing.
In the round when Maizi played with Deng Du just now, the sin was much greater than Curry's.
So now Popovich's face, which is also really ugly, scared Budenholzer next to Popovich trembling.
"It's the Coach's revenge! TMC playing Duncan so much on the court must be the coach's revenge! It's revenge on Bobo!"
Bobo just said, Coach, your UCLA (LP) is so fun.
Coach, say it now, your Duncan (LP) is fun!
it!
You two celebrities, why do you like NTR each other so much?!
Can a general head coach play in the face of these two managers who have this special hobby?
I don't have to play at all!
No wonder Pooh will be played by the coach to crash!
If you don't have such a strong ability to resist pressure, you really can't play such a crazy game between the two!
So the question is, in this game, in the end, the two people, who will collapse first?
Is the coach being played by Bobo, or is Bobo being played by the coach!
Budenholzer and Hamm next to him glanced at each other, and they could both feel the fear in each other's eyes!
As soon as this game opened, the exciting play between the coach and Bobo scared them.
And right now.
"Bobo, look, UCLA, you can't grasp it, Tim, you can't grasp it."
it!
The instructor has started to ride the face output!
Popovich, who was already black-faced, had green eyes at this time.
The Spurs' offense and defense are definitely a great shame for Popovich.
The other party's LP didn't play, and his own was played.
Who can stand this!
"Coach, you don't need to scare me, in this world, you know better than anyone else that UCLA is powerful, and an accident won't make me change my playing style!"
He just rode the face to output the coach, which was to stimulate the coach to use YI and TMC to continue to play Duncan under the basket.
He's going to show the coach the intensity of the playoff basket.
The coach was not fooled, and actually attacked Nash.
How could he be fooled!
You said that I can't play UCLA well, I must be afraid!
Others used to say that Bobo's mouth was a deceitful ghost.
Everyone is the head coach of the black heart zone, I don't understand you yet!
Your coach's mouth is also a deception!
The UCLA air cut I carefully prepared is a secret weapon, how can I be scared back by your two words?
"Coach, look how I shred the hypocrisy from your face!"
Popovich waved his hand and there was no timeout, and the Spurs continued to attack!
And it's still UCLA air cut!
At home, he was suppressed so strongly by the Lakers.
Popovich doesn't have a face, and neither do the Spurs players on the court.
"Mr. Riley, is this, an accident? UCLA air cut, broken by the coach? Isn't the UCLA air cut a tactic that is said to never be broken?"
"It's not that it can't be broken forever, but no one has broken it!"
「……」
Spoelstra was stunned.
Isn't it the same?
Wait a minute!
Like, it's different!
Coach, is it really that strong?
After a series of missed attacks, the Spurs are now in desperate need of momentum at home.
The opening was broken twice by Nash in succession.
Duncan, who was shown off by Maizi just now, not only did not be demoralized, but calmly commanded the Spurs players to pay attention to Nash.
Even if Nash defends no matter how good he is, and breaks you twice in a row, you can't be ironed.
But here's the problem.
The Spurs' UCLA air cut didn't make a big difference, dodging Nash's pass, meaning there was at least a quarter less space.
Isn't this just letting the horse run and not letting the horse eat grass?
If the Spurs UCLA cut into the air, they can solve the offense in less than four passes.
It doesn't matter.
Spurs now need to pass the pass, preferably more than five.
If you don't play UCLA air cuts, they can play them in a regular way.
But Popovich made it clear that in this round, he must play the UCLA air cut.
This one is uncomfortable.
Nash doesn't pass on his side, and this kind of one-sided back-and-forth pass can't tear up space at all.
There is no way, Duncan's reminder can't be ignored, so be a little more careful, but Nash's side of the pass still has to be passed, which can open up the space of the entire court.
Parker receives a pass from Danny Green.
Under the pursuit of Kobe, Duncan, who wanted to hit the ball to the open space, let him shoot the middle distance.
But......
Nima's!
Maddie suddenly gets stuck in his pass to Duncan.
Why is TMC's route card so accurate?
Parker was numb.
He found out during the regular season.
In the end, Parker, who was covered by Kobe, lost a pass opportunity and could only pass the basketball to Leonard.
But as soon as Parker passed the ball out, Kobe Bryant withdrew from the defense, and Parker was stunned!
Fack!
It's Nash again!
In his pass to Leonard, Nash intercepted it again!
Just now Medika Duncan!
Now Kobe Bryant covers him!
"The Lakers did it on purpose?!"
By the time Parker realized this, the ball had been cut off by Nash again.
Parker and Leonard both have high ball quotients.
But the passing of the two......
In Nash's opinion, it's too simple.
After Nash's successful break.
Leonard was almost crazy trying to get the ball back, at least delaying Nash's fast break.
It's just that, in the face of Leonard's intense rush, Nash turned around and threw the basketball in his hand behind him.
Seeing Nash's pass, the Spurs fans at the scene exclaimed.
Leonard's counter-steal was very successful!
Although it didn't break the ball directly from Nash's hand.
However, it made Nash have a passing error!
Just quickly......
When the Spurs fans felt that the Lakers were going to make a mistake.
A big long leg rushed out!
「Yi!」
When Nash was rushed by Leonard, Yi Jianlian was activated.
Nash saw Kai in the afterglow
Yi Jianlian, who moved, only passed it back in that direction.
Nash's iconic back pass!
Yi Jianlian, too familiar!
85 explosive power!
When he suddenly rushed out, Split couldn't catch it!
After Yi Jianlian received the ball in the middle circle, he went all the way forward, and no one behind him could catch up with him!
Bang!
Yi Jianlian's hands are buckled!
11 to 0!
looked at Yi Jianlian, who was hanging on the basket with his hands at this time.
AT&a;T scene, dead silence again.
One by one, Spurs fans seemed to have seen a ghost.
In the 15-year history of watching football for many Spurs fans, they have never seen the Spurs start so badly.
It's not that the Spurs are taking it lightly.
As soon as the Spurs came up, they took out the secret weapon they had prepared for a long time, the UCLA air cut.
As a result, this is the case now?
Not only the Spurs fans at the scene were dumbfounded, but even Popovich on the sidelines was stunned at this time.
In two rounds in a row, the UCLA air cut he carefully built for the Spurs was broken.
Moreover, it's the kind that is robbed alive!
If it's not something that's happening right in front of you.
If it weren't for the Spurs fans at the scene, they would indeed have been silent.
He couldn't even believe it!
In fact, Budenholzer behind him was already trembling at this time.
UCLA Air Cut!
This is a UCLA air cut that no one can break!
Coach, it's broken!
And it's broken with Nash!
"Nash, it's not the Lakers' defensive black hole, Nash is really the coach's secret weapon!"
It's been six years, and it's time to pay it back.
Recall this sentence.
Popovich had a chill down his spine.
This kid!
He also came prepared!
"Coach, I really broke the UCLA air cut, it turns out that the weakness of the UCLA air cut is...... Haha, hahahaha...... Different paths lead to the same end, and indeed different paths lead to the same end!"
"Mr. Riley?"
Looking at Pat Riley, who suddenly jumped up and laughed wildly.
Spoelstra was stunned.
Mr. Pat Riley, what about your elegance?
It's just that Pat Riley, who was laughing excitedly at this time, didn't care about the strange eyes of the apprentice next to him at all.
The weakness of UCLA's air cut, TM's is actually passing!
UCLA air cut, the strongest is passing, and the weakness is also passing!
This is exactly the same as his five-blade tactic!
Who would have thought that the weakness of his five-front tactics is the strongest small forward!
"Hahahaha, coach, hahahaha......"
Laughing and laughing, the expression on Pat Riley's face became strange.
"My five-blade tactics were broken by you, UCLA air cut, and you also broke them, haha, wizards, really wizards......
「……」
After Pat Riley finished speaking, Spoelstra next to him was stupid.
At this moment, Barkley's shouting on the TV became more and more agitated.
"Spurs and Popovich ask for a timeout!"
"Popovich's carefully prepared secret weapon, the UCLA air cut, was broken by the coach!"
The silent world, as if nothing but Barkley's crazy and agitated voice remained.
"Coach, it's a UCLA air cut!"
……
……
In the stands, behind the Lakers' bench.
Bowen looked incredulous.
Robert Horry, too, looked incredulous.
However, when Horry came to his senses, he looked at Nash in front of him and smiled at Bowen.
"Bruce, I can say to Nash now, are you still that soft?"
「……」
Fack!
Bowen came back to his senses and gritted his teeth to look at Horry, and then at Nash in front of him, wishing he could play.
Isn't it just Nash?
With Nash on the floor, the Spurs don't need to play any UCLA air cuts at all, it's all Bobo's bad taste!
"Don't worry, there will be a time for you to say this!"
He believes in Bobo's wisdom!
……
……
