Chapter 875 [The Quasi-Lore of the Little Man]
At 23-24 in the first quarter, the Kings trailed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Defending the restricted area and shooting from the outside, the Kings blocked the Spurs' offense, but the star was not very efficient in heads-up. Wang Jun had 8 points and 1 assist in the first quarter, and James had 4 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
Both sides sent on the bench.
Kings Five: Thomas, Ray Allen, Gerard Green, Ty Gibson, Kenyon Martin.
Spurs five: Gary Neal, Ginobili, Danny Green, Prince, Split.
Prince had a six-minute break in the first quarter, and the bench became the key on the court, and he did a very good job of blocking and pick-and-roll, withstanding Thomas's breakaway.
Tygibson and Martin are both unstable in their mid-range shots, and Split doesn't have to defend himself to protect the inside.
Thomas's poor playmaking became apparent, sprinting like a headless fly, barely making two shots under interference, one of which was still three misses.
His speed and technique are good, but his offensive options are much worse, he likes to get into the crowd, and he might as well dangle some space outside to make a jumper, which is why he lacks experience in the game.
The Spurs counterattacked, shooting from the outside, and Ginobili was responsible for breaking through with the ball.
Popovich is a genius in terms of on-the-spot adaptability, knowing that Split's offense is poor, he simply plays randomly, uses the player's individual ability to solve the problem, and does not wait for Split to fall into place.
Neil is the strongest scorer in the Spurs' group, and he can't beat Crawford when he smokes the wind, and he doesn't save the Spurs once or twice, and he throws many key shots in the regular season.
And Neil can not only shoot open positions, but also be good at strong shots and chase three-pointers. He is just poor in defense, 193cm tall is actually a scoring guard, and he has no organizational ability, so no one wanted it back then.
Popovich maximized the player's strengths. On the counterattack, the 175cm Thomas was less than Neil, who shot 2-of-3 from three-point range.
Danny Green also hit a three-pointer after Ginobili's point-and-shoot and also prevented Ray Allen, playing eye-catching.
Also surnamed Green, the Spurs are much more useful than the king's dunk king.
The style of play between the two is like two extremes. Gerrard is only good at chaotic warfare and has low tactical literacy, while Danny is not good at chaotic warfare and can play a role in the system.
Danny's personal ability is actually average, rarely facing people, the key is the defensive role. He has a height of 198cm, excellent reach and movement speed, and is also cultivated as an outside gate.
Ginobili's role is even more critical, as he remains one of the league's best outside players, averaging 12.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 23.3 minutes per game. He shot 52.6 percent from the field, 41.3 percent from three-point range and 87.1 percent from the free-throw line.
The older he gets, the more demonic he becomes, and his efficiency is super high, and he can't prevent one-on-one Ray Allen.
The Spurs played a wave of 11-2, Adelman hurriedly made adjustments, replaced Thomas in 4 minutes, replaced Curry, and Wang Jun also returned to the court and replaced Gerrard.
Danny played against Wang Jun, defended the ball very tightly, and tried his best to prevent him from receiving the ball.
Wang Jun took the ball outside the three-point line, his teammates pulled away, and Martin and Gibson stood low and ready to grab the rebound.
Since blue-collar workers will be released when they go out, it is better to stay near the penalty area and wait for the opportunity, if the opponent is trapped, it is a good opportunity to pass over.
Adelman doesn't like this style of play, but both of them lack the ability to play and shoot, so they can only do it.
Wang Jun turned around and took a step at full speed to the right side, attracting Green's center of gravity to move, dribbling the ball to his left hand behind his right hand, and stepping back with his left foot to shoot a three-point shot.
He didn't shake Green off completely, relying on the change of tempo to get space to shoot, throwing the ball quickly and falling back to avoid the block.
Brush! Hollow into the net. 28 to 35.
Back on the defensive end, Wang Jun defended Ginobili and stuck his legs to make his serpentine breakthrough unsuccessful.
Ginobili split the ball, Neil caught the ball and hit a jumper that missed off with Martin's interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Tygibson.
The advantage of the small-ball strategy is that the perimeter defense is tight, and the Spurs also rely on three-point offense, and interior players are not good at attacking except Duncan.
The king quickly counterattacked, Curry dribbled to the frontcourt, glanced at Wang Jun who was beckoning, and suddenly grabbed a three-point shot, and Neil was slow to jump and block.
Curry shot very firmly, and he hit 70 degrees on the left side. 31 to 35.
In two rounds, the difference narrowed.
When he returned to defense, Wang Jun gave Curry a thumbs up. On the team, he often admonished Curry to shoot resolutely and shoot when he had the opportunity.
This kind of ball looks like a blindfold, but it's actually not easy to block, and teammates are good at getting stuck and rushing to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, and the big man doesn't run back so quickly.
The two sides played one iron each, and the Kings made substitutions, with James replacing Tygibson and Martin continuing to play. The Spurs replaced Duncan and Parker, and the "GDP combination" came out together.
Split rested, he didn't do much to beat the king, there was no one for him to resist.
After that, the score could not be widened, and the two sides took the lead alternately.
In the second half, the Kings continued the small-ball tactics, and Vucevic played less time, he had height and weight, and the effect of defending Duncan was not as good as Martin's, and he was inexperienced.
In the final minute, the Kings led by four points and were very close to victory, but luck was on the side of the Spurs.
James controlled the ball and pressed the tempo, wanted to use up 24 seconds, underestimated the length of Leonard's arm, and was stabbed from behind while protecting the ball with his back.
Curry made up the defense, Leonard split the ball, and Parker scored on a layup.
In the next round, James continued to kill time, and the rhythm was right. He broke through and Battier missed a jumper, leaving the Spurs with 11 seconds to attack.
Popovich called a timeout to arrange the tactics, sent in the twin towers of Split and Duncan, and the three men who could shoot on the outside, Green, Neil, and Ginobili.
Green caught the ball by covering the run, dodged Battier's block, hit a three-pointer from outside the three-point line at 70 degrees on the right side. 96 to 97.
Green hit a quasi-stunter to silence the Kings' home court, going from leading by four points to trailing by one point, and the situation turned unfavorable.
Adelman called a timeout to arrange the tactics, Vucevic came on the court to help Wang Jun cover the ball, and he attracted the bag to the middle James, who almost vacated, jumped out of the three-point frame, and the rebound was grabbed by Green.
The Kings had no choice but to foul and Green hit both free throws. 96 to 99.
In the last four seconds, Wang Jun grabbed a three-point shot under strict defense, and the force of the shot against the man was too great, and the rebound was obtained by Duncan. James fouled again, and Duncan made one of two free throws to seal the win, 96-100.
Zhang Li sighed for a long time, small people can also do big things.
Danny Ferry cut Green to save some money when he was general manager with the Cavaliers, and Ferry returned to the Spurs after losing his position as general manager in 2010 and recommended Green to Popovich. The Spurs signed Green on November 17, 2010, and cut him on November 23, 2010.
The Spurs don't like Green's attitude and don't think he's a good fit for the Spurs' team-oriented culture.
After being cut, Green left a voicemail message for Popovich, asking for a second chance.
Green told the coach. "I'll do whatever you need me to do. Rebounding, defending, handing towels, delivering water. Whatever you need me to do, I'll do. ”
Popovich wrote it down. He re-signed Green in March and signed a contract extension until the end of the season.
In this shrinking season, Green burst onto the surface, getting a start in more than half of the regular season.
Back then, James often complained that he didn't have good teammates, and the Cavaliers owner was willing to spend money, but unfortunately Maxima often had it, and Bole didn't have it.
