Popovich didn't win the best coach, but many people called him a master tactician, not only because he developed a superstar like Tim Duncan, but also because of his ability to adapt on the spot and make tactical adjustments on the court in time to target the opponent's weaknesses.

Every year, when experts predict the new season and evaluate the lineups of each team, the Spurs are not favored. But in the end, they always get a good result. Many people believe that the league owes Duncan an MVP because the Spurs had a better record than the 76ers in 2001, and Duncan's efficiency on both ends of the floor is much greater than Iverson's.

Because of the butterfly effect of Yang Rui's rebirth, Duncan is destined to be unlucky, he should have won the award this season, but now his teammates are worse than the original, the team's record is average, and the regular season MVP will not be given to him.

At this time, Popovich still had some admiration for Yang Rui, because he felt that the Wizards lineup was not very good, and he also injured two big players, and the main reason for winning was the coach. Yang Rui stopped every time the Spurs were about to open the score, adjusted tactics, made substitutions, and then stabilized the situation.

Yang Rui attacked when he should strengthen his offense, sent blue-collar when he should defend, and made substitutions in a very timely manner, not giving the opponent a chance to play a wave.

The Spurs were heavily guarded against Jordan, and the guys who played well today were Boozer and Alston, which was exciting because both were unknown before the start of the season.

Popovich arranged an offensive tactic and sent several pitchers on his team to replace Tinsley.

Tinsley is an instant player, and like Alston, his ball-handling skills are top-notch, and he scored a big triple-double of 19 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists in his rookie season, and was named to the All-Rookie Second Team, but poor shooting hindered his path to becoming a superstar.

Tinsley is averaging 8.3 points and 7 assists per game this season, and it is difficult to score a double-double. When the team needs to play success and score, Popovich usually puts him on the bench.

The Spurs' tactics are simple, Duncan receives the ball in the low post and singles, no one wraps himself up, attracts the bag and passes to Kerr in the bottom corner or Smith on the side.

On the Wizards' side, Yang Rui sent a defensive lineup, Hamilton, Bell, Jordan, Wallace, and Haywood. He guessed that the Spurs were likely to let the star go head-to-head.

The game got on, and Kerr passed the ball to Smith under Hamilton's close interference, who went to the right side to face Bale closely, struggled to find space, and hit the ground and passed to Duncan.

Duncan leaned his back against Haywood, flicked his left shoulder to the middle, turned to the frame, and raised the ball with both hands to make another feint. Heywood didn't jump, raised his hands to interfere, and his center of gravity raised. Duncan leaned on Haywood's strength and threw the ball to the basket with one hand with his right hand.

Duncan's basic skills are solid, his playing style is simple, he knows how to use his advantages, and his 231CM arm span is thrown with a throw, and the opponent can't block it if he jumps slowly. Heywood's defense was relatively good and could only interfere slightly, and the ball went into the net hollow. 101 to 102.

Duncan returned with a blank face, as if scoring such a crucial goal was a matter of course.

His average points per game is not very high, he is not the strongest super scorer, he belongs to the core of "teammates can do it, and I will come back if my teammates can't do it", and he is not ambiguous when he needs to attack.

The Wizards attacked, Haywood didn't go to the side to cover, and Wallace was ready to grab rebounds in the low post, the two outside lines were pulled apart, and Jordan in the middle held the ball and went heads-up.

This is the simplest tactic, Yang Rui sent two interior blue-collar workers to strengthen the defense, and can only rely on the personal ability of the star, at this time, it is difficult for the outside players to run the position, because the interior lacks the ability to shoot, and it will be empty on the periphery after covering.

Jordan dribbled in the middle to press time, and in the last five seconds, he started to break to the left side, dribbled two steps to make a stop, and met Bowen's emergency stop jumper. This action Jordan has done countless times in his life, the shooting rhythm has been integrated into the blood, Bowen jumped up to seal his eyes and was invalid, and the ball went in. 103 to 102.

The home crowd cheered together, and Popovich called another timeout.

Zhang Lili, who broadcast the game live, sighed: "This is Jordan, great, 40 years old can still shoot key shots, the Wizards are plagued by injuries, and now the team needs him to step up and score." He has a knee injury and cartilage wear, but he is still the core of the team this season, averaging 18.7 points per game. ”

"The pressure is on the side of the Spurs, and there are only 25 seconds left," Xu said. I think Popovich has two options, one for the fast break, and the foul can be used if he doesn't score; Or press the time to the end, which is more risky. If you don't score, you lose, and if you shoot, the Wizards will have very little time to attack. ”

Yang Rui did not intend to passively defend strictly, he sent an attacking lineup of Stoudamire, Boozer, Jordan, Hamilton, and Alston. On the Spurs' side, there is a small-ball strategy, with Marik Cross playing power forward and Duncan center.

As soon as the throw-in was issued, the Wizards used a pressing strategy, and the Spurs struggled because the point guard brought in Kerr.

Popovich needs Kerr to open up space outside the three-point line, but he really doesn't have a lot of ball-handling ability. After receiving the ball, Kerr was close to Alston and made a hasty pass to Bowen who almost missed, and Bowen staggered to hold the ball steady and transferred it to Rose, who withdrew to the perimeter, who attracted the Smalls defense and hit the ground to pass to Duncan in the low post on the right.

Duncan singled Boozer with the ball with his back, which was a good matchup, but as soon as Duncan caught the ball and leaned in, Boozer pulled a foul and sent him to the free throw line.

Yang Rui's plan is to press and cause the opponent to make a mistake, if Duncan successfully catches the ball, then foul, let him make free throws early, and the team still has plenty of time to complete an attack.

Yang Rui knows that it is unlikely that Boozer will defend Duncan, but "Stone Buddha" is not always stable, and he has weaknesses.

Duncan shot less than 70 percent from the free-throw line in his first three seasons in the league, and in the 00-01 season he even shot 61.8 percent from the free throw line, and 70.2 percent is not high at present.

At this time, on the free throw line, Duncan was under a lot of pressure, the first free throw was hit, the second free throw was missed, Boozer grabbed the rebound and held it in his arms, waiting for Alston to answer.

The Wizards have a clear advantage, 18.8 seconds of offensive time, press the time, score is a stunner, and you can play overtime without entering.

Alston played a role, he dribbled the ball lightly across the half court, Kerr couldn't break off, he didn't even dare to get too close, for fear of being passed.

It wasn't until the last four seconds that Boozer pulled to the perimeter to block and Alston got rid of Cole with the ball. The Spurs were in the defense, Alston walked to the right side where Duncan was, and attracted the defense, at which point Boozer ran to near the free throw line and received Alston's pass.

In the last attack, Yang Rui gave the opportunity to the second-round rookie, instead of Jordan, who was strictly guarded by Bowen.

Boozer got a good heads-up opportunity, caught the ball and leaned on Rose, turned to the left, and made a "cannon-resistant" jump shot, his movements were coherent and soft, Rose was only 201CM tall, and when the two had physical contact, they couldn't jump off the ball, and they could only close their eyes to interfere.

The ball arcs high and hollows into the net. 105 to 103.

The final whistle blew at the same time, Boozer completed the stunner, the fans stood up and cheered, and the players rushed into the field excitedly on the bench.

Alston excitedly jumped on Boozer's back, and Jordan and his teammates surrounded Boozer to celebrate the victory.

At this moment, Jordan really blended in with the Wizards and they made a great team!
