The league also announced the 2006-07 Sixth Man of the Year, Best Coach and Best General Manager.

When it comes to selecting Sixth Man of the Year, it's basically a matchup between Barbosa and Ginobili, and in comparison, Barbossa's stats are better, the Suns have a better record, and his help to the team is significantly more convincing.

Barbosa received 50 percent of the vote, started 18 of his 80 games, and averaged 18.1 points and four assists in 32 minutes of play. Ginobili played just 27.5 minutes and averaged 16.5 points, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

Then in third place is the Mavericks' Jerry Starkerhouse, who averages 12 points per game in 24 minutes.

It can be seen that behind every team with a big record or a league superteam is the best sixth man to guide and lead, including the Warriors, who also rely on Monta Ellis to lead the season.

Monta Ellis ranked No. 4 in this pick, mainly because he started many games, averaging 13.2 points and 3.7 assists per game.

As the battle of Tennoyama approached, both sides made their own preparations.

There are not many teams in the league that are tied 2-2, except for the Warriors and Spurs, only the Rockets and Jazz, and the Raptors and Nets.

As for teams like the Mavericks, Suns, Cavaliers, Bulls, Pistons and others, they all swept their respective opponents 4-0.

The absolute polarization has caused a lot of heated discussions, especially when teams like the Heat, Lakers, Wizards, Nuggets and other teams with the league's top scorers were swept, which is even more unexpected.

The Heat also reached the Finals last year, and this year they were swept in the first round.

If Ben Wallace has brought a qualitative change to the Bulls' defense, it's not so much that the Heat have regressed significantly, and when Wade has been affected by some injuries and O'Neal has lost his power, they are just an average playoff team in the league.

Kobe, Arenas, Allen Iverson, Carmelo Anthony, it seems that everyone except for the Magic's Howard is a little unhappy.

......

Game 5 between the Warriors and Spurs, in the locker room at Oracle Arena.

Montgomery paced back and forth, waiting for the players to enter the locker room one by one, and everyone was quiet when they entered the locker room, silently taking off their headphones.

After a few minutes, Montgomery picked up the pen, and the assistant coach dragged the tactical whiteboard over, and Montgomery clapped his hands: "Alright guys, we're going to start explaining the tactics." ”

The players pricked up their ears, the two defeats are already very revealing, the Warriors' defense was dismembered by the Spurs, no matter how strong Yang Di's defense is, it is impossible to run all over the court in a game, the Spurs avoid the heavy and light, the score always finds an empty space, the Warriors have serious offensive problems, and the defensive problems are also very serious.

"Ron, video." Montgomery put the pen back in his pocket first, and assistant coach Ron Adams pulled up the video of yesterday's game and projected it on the white wall.

"Everybody, Spurs' offense." Montgomery covered Bowen in the bottom corner and Elson in ambush near the baseline.

"Actually, the Spurs still rely on Parker and Duncan's pick-and-roll, but usually, Parker will not go directly to Tim Duncan after half-time to do the pick-and-roll, at this time, it is often Mike Finley or Manu Ginobili who do the pick-and-roll, and the two have a very high level of ball handling."

"When Finley moved to the right with the ball, Duncan's pick-and-roll blocked Danny from left to right," Montgomery let go of Bowen in the bottom corner and pointed at Bruce Bowen: "Everyone, at this time, the player in the bottom corner is starting to move, moving 45 degrees from the bottom corner to the left. ”

"Covering for him was Elson in the number 5 position, and although the cover was weak, there was a chance that he could be open. The Spurs made two screens at the same time, one with the ball and one without the ball. Montgomery re-explained, then swiped his finger over to Parker.

Finley has three options, one is to pass to Tim Duncan, which may have formed a misalignment at this point, and Duncan can shoot on top of Danny's head. One is a pass to Bruce Bowen on the wing, but that is highly unlikely, as Bruce's 45-degree three-point shot from the wing is not accurate. The most common one is to pass back to Parker, who moves up and receives the ball for a three-threat attack. ”

Montgomery explained the most common tactics of the Spurs, pointing to Tony Parker, everyone's expressions were awe-inspiring, these two games, but they have suffered from this French sports car with a fast pace, and even Yang Di has been played by Parker's three-second zone turning layup, which is indeed very difficult to prevent.

"Parker forms a triple threat, this is the first offensive with a threat, if he breaks through in the opposite direction and goes to the bottom line, because Yang Di is pulled to the high position, Tyson is in the weak-side area, so if Parker passes, there is a great chance of attacking the basket and tearing up the defense, and the mid-distance in this area is also Parker's relatively stable."

"After Parker receives the ball, everyone should pay attention to the fact that Tim Duncan, who has just finished blocking and picking, adjusts slightly on the spot, and Parker can complete a very high-quality block with Tim Duncan, and at this time, Yang Di, who has just delayed Finley, needs to adjust immediately, continue to delay Parker's dribbling, and put pressure on him."

Yang Di nodded, Montgomery's words were obvious, he was not optimistic that Fisher could keep up with Parker's cadence at all, if it was Monta, it would be okay, but if it was Monta defense, the Spurs would be another set of tactics.

"Tony Parker's breakthrough line is different from Finley's line just now, Finley is in the middle line, and when Parker breaks through, he is inclined at an angle, as you should know, when he breaks through, the threat of an oblique angle breakthrough should be greater." Montgomery pointed at Tyson Chandler and said, "The ideal way for Tony Parker to run is to mismatch Tyson, and in the left elbow area, he can shoot straight jumpers." ”

Montgomery drew a circle, marked, the most accurate area.

"Go deeper, he can also throw, Tyson moves up, and he can form a two-on-one attack with Elson to attack the basket."

Montgomery envisioned all the images of Parker's offense, and then moved the images.

Yesterday's offense was released in the impact, after Parker received the ball and Duncan blocked and dismantled, Duncan went down to the right, Jandy followed Duncan to move, Parker faced Tyson near the left position, Ray Allen had a good sense of defense, ran to wrap Parker, Parker hit the ground with a shot, and Bruce Bowen hit a three-point jumper directly.

In short, in a short period of time, a 3-on-2 situation will form in the left area, which is very unfavorable.

The Spurs' tactical intent is too clear, which is to avoid Youngdy's defensive focus and then find Tyson Chandler to attack.

Tyson's defense is also very good, but it is mainly for the big man defense, he is too tall and not flexible enough, and the defense of small man players is not very good, Parker is very good at playing small and big.
