Lost the competition, Spurs does not have the delaying time, but hurried back to San Antonio at the same night.
The nightlife of Los Angeles regarding any nba team is a well-known enticement, although Spurs the average ages of headed by Duncan are bigger, but similarly Spurs veterans headed by Duncan all are one group of stuffy show male, if really plays, is crazier than the young people.
Popowycz does not hope that Spurs also turns into the soft foot shrimp team. If this competition won, Lakers that the team 4 : 0 sweep away, Popowycz did not mind actually Spurs lives the last night in Los Angeles, enjoys the nightlife of Los Angeles. But now competes to lose, Spurs must return to San Antonio immediately.
On the airplane, many players were drowsy, but Spurs Head Coach Popowycz actually appears very energetic, he is holding the plate, watches playbacking of competition.
„Really quick!” Popowycz is looking at Zhang Guan the breakthrough, starts to talk cannot help but sighed.
„Indeed quick, reminding me of past Iverson.” Another sound resounds from side, Popowycz has turned head, saw Duncan has collected.
Popowycz in 1996 started official vocational education Spurs, but Duncan in 1997 entered in Spurs as foremost person in the field, they cooperated the entire 17 years, the nature suitable tacit understanding. Regarding Popowycz, Duncan is not only a disciple, is the partner, is the friend.
„I for the first time seem, has remembered Iverson, words that but carefully observes, Zhang Guan and Iverson are different. Their breakthroughs are the same rapidness, making people virtually impossible to guard against. But Iverson's the goal of breakthrough is the direct score, after he frequently the match shakes, choice vacancy shooting, but Zhang Guan the breakthrough goes to the penalty kick obviously, this point he looks like to ascend.” Popowycz opens the mouth to say.
Returns excellent splendid artistic collection that looks at Iverson, after the match shakes upside-down, then chooses the jump shot, either throws the three-pointer, either hits the distance. But in fact Iverson's shooting average is not considered as that very high, is only the qualified level, the three-pointer hit probability looks in the present standard at most is quite low.
Naturally in that time, most players such plays a ball game, middle distance shooting is the main score method, the three-pointer is the patents of these special three-pointer pitchers. Even if the Jordan big god, his three-pointer getting rid number of times also few pity, but three-pointer hit probability also regular below 30%.
That time after all is the time that big center runs amuck, which team seven chi (0.33 m) tall man hasn't assumed personal command? The guards are holding under the ball impact basket, in that time is the behavior of courting death, let alone touches the porcelain, a cap minute of minute of traditional big center can be called you to cultivate the behavior. But the present alliance, small style of playing is in vogue, the traditional center declined, the player who let the breakthrough fighting method had many existing space.
Only listens to Popowycz then to ask: „Regarding Zhang Guan, what good defensive strategy you have?”
Duncan shook the head: „Some players, once has the infinite opening fire power, cannot defend, they can attain easily for 30-40 points even are 50 points.”
„But some star player obtains the high score, does not mean that the team can win, right?” Popowycz has smiled.
„Indeed is this, moreover Lakers have also had this tradition.” Duncan said similarly with a smile.
in nba has many result common rotten teams, but star player personal data in these teams actually good flies, in nba most star players, give their infinite opening fire power , is very difficult to defend. But some people ball power, although are many, gets rid, although many, but the team actually cannot win.
„If in this case, we only needed to complete a point to suffice, that obtained more scores compared with Lakers!” Popowycz deeply inspires, then said: „The next game, we return to tradition, the main attack inside connection!”
Some Duncan surprise, Popowycz's decision, wants Duncan to shoulder the attack core of team.
If 56 years ago Spurs, this is perhaps normal, at that time Duncan was young, is in the alliance the strongest inside connection, sometimes he can hit to explode continuously the team, but now Duncan was 38 years old, a 38-year-old Duncan, but can also take on to handle the team attack core the heavy responsibility? The fighting method of Spurs also more and more depends upon the team, but does not depend upon the star player like other teams more and more.
„What's wrong? Too long has not played such a ball game, didn't have the confidence to oneself?” Popowycz asked with a smile.
„Is somewhat surprised.” Duncan shook the head.
Popowycz puts down the tablet PC in hand, then said: „The next game looked your, wins with the way that we once most excelled at! You clench teeth to insist, 3 : 1 is in the lead in any case now, has won this, can rest slightly for 1-2 days!”
......
David Robinson who 1987 nba competition, the foremost person in the field bamboo slip in Spurs hand selected, Spurs turned into one to have the inside connection traditional team since then. Ten years later, Spurs hand grasps the foremost person in the field bamboo slip once more, they have selected Duncan, since then started a Spurs several years of magnificent time. In the future, Spurs has signed Aerdeliqi , to continue their inside connection traditions.
Compares, Lakers and rocket, in said the center tradition all day, but has not hit the pellet finally.
On April 30, Spurs welcomed Lakers at home game, this is 45 wars in two teams of game series.
Returned to the home game, Spurs is confident, they only need to win this ball again, can enter the next round.
But Lakers must continue to go all out, 0 : 3 backwardness and 1 : 3 backwardness, do not have what difference, from playoff historical looks, was still must the aspect of defeat.
After the competition starts, the tactic of Spurs had some changes, the inside connection has become their main attack point, the ball passes to Duncan hand repeatedly, but breakthrough frequency that the frontal line and guard player, increases, unceasing exerts pressure to the Lakers inside connection. The Lakers inside connection the load bearing has the huge pressure immediately.
Karman's defense indeed was a major problem, Karman of peak also once by various Dayao playing jokes upon, but inside connection Twin Tower that he and Gassol organized, in the attack was very indeed good, but defended an end, facing the inside connection of true top, must admit defeat, when this point accepted the interview including Karman has acknowledged. In the past in express steamer, Brander first-class made up against standard to make up for Karman the insufficiency that but in Los Angeles Lakers, Gassol impossible to Brander such , helping Karman make up guards. Also because of so, Karman of this season is appearing bullies the weak and fears the strong, the match inside connection was weak, the Karman relaxed 20 + 10 two pairs, the match inside connection, Karman also with ease has attained 45 faults to add 45 times to violate a regulation.
At this time, Karman's defense has the loophole repeatedly, Spurs also desirably aims at Karman this point to attack, inside connection Duncan's hit always by Karman as the breakthrough point, outwire Parker, Ginobili and Leonard's breakthrough also always to Karman this point, Karman eats to violate a regulation in first twice.
Meanwhile, Zhang Guan the attack was also obstructed, his fast breakthrough does not have on one that smooth.
With going on stage the competition is different, here after all is San Antonio, is the home game of Spurs, in the playoff stage, the home game and away game is the completely different two experience, let alone Spurs or last year chief champion.
In San Antonio, the morale of Spurs player soaring, defensive also going all out, decision of referee, favors under permission of rule Spurs. Although Zhang Guan the breakthrough can still harvest the achievement, but must make many efforts, takes a bigger risk.
Defense line of Spurs also in subconscious contracts to the inside connection, they used to cope with the thunder two few styles to obstruct Zhang Guan the attack, gave him as far as possible the start trouble.
The first section the competition, Lakers by 26 : 27, falls behind Spurs 1 point temporarily, who can look, Spurs' attack hits is very smooth, but Lakers is more like Zhang Guan a person the dying brace.
The second section competition from the beginning, Nick - Yang this jumps suddenly the nerve blade, in the short time 9 points, are make Lakers not fall behind Spurs continually, but Lakers actually knows that this is not the long-time plan. Nick - Yang's nerve blade looks like Duan Yu the six pulses Divine Sword, from time to time the spirit does not work from time to time, occasionally with as surprise-attack forces also good, the achievement main force definitely is really useless.
„Coach, like this hit is not the means that the breakthrough takes the minute to be getting more and more difficult, was by the three-pointer.” Opens the crown to open the mouth to say.
„Three-pointer words, must be capable of certain protection backboard being good, Karman's movement, feared that cannot follow the rhythm.” De'an Tony said.
„Protects the words of rebound, or makes Hassan try?” Opens the crown to open the mouth to propose.
„Hassan?” De'an Tony looked at a White Seder.
De'an Tony very likes White Seder this player actually, „white side” the motor ability many that wants Karman to be strong, although the attack ability indeed was short, but the movement flexible, can run to jump, these two points are very suitable to hit to mass-criticize. Mass-criticizes the tactic not to need five people good at attacking the score, but needs certainly five people able to run, came from this, White Seder should be able to take away taking turns quota on the bench.
But White Seder comes Lakers short of time also comparison, in adapting to De'an Tony's tactical system, has not entered to the taking turns lineup. Moreover recently competed also comparison important, the trash time are quite less, does not have the opportunity that White Seder goes on stage. Therefore after White Seder since joins to Lakers, only had twice the presence opportunity, moreover each time playing time, be only 45 minutes, other times have been sitting the backless stool, he did not have truely has shown own talent.
Saw only De'an Tony to ponder for several seconds, afterward called the side White Seder.
„Hassan, makes to warm up, prepares to go on stage!” De'an Tony opens the mouth to say.
„Goes on stage!” White Seder is pleasantly surprised extremely, he sat in the bench far end drinking fountain manager, the prime task brandishes the towel, has not thought that the coach „life and death war” will go on stage in this playoff by oneself.
„Knows your duty?” De'an Tony asked suddenly.
White Seder has gawked, immediately said: „Knows that protects the backboard!”
„Is very good, the next dead ball, goes on stage!” De'an Tony has patted White Seder's shoulder.
......
„Lakers changes players, they changed Wesley Johnson, has exchanged, the graciousness......” espn narrator voice, obviously did not know Bai Bian, he looked down the material in hand, then said: „Lakers has exchanged Hassan - White Seder.”
„Who this person is, I spoke frankly that this is a fresh face, my first time hears this name.” Nearby illustration honored guest opens the mouth to say.
However espn after all is professional sports media, merely is 2-3 seconds, the narrator had found White Seder's material on the plate.
„White Seder was selected by 33 cis-positions by the king in 2010, he works for two years for the king, the attack enters the stage 19 times, the field 1.5 points, 2.1 backboards. The previous season he was cut by the king, then went to nbl to play a ball game.” The narrators said immediately.
„Nbl? Plays a ball game at the nbl league tournament of Canada! The level of that league tournament compared with development alliance, there is a very big disparity.” Illustrated that the honored guest said.
„, It is not nbl of Canada, is nbl of China, probably is the development alliance of China, compared with the cba league tournament of China also low first-level.” The narrators said immediately.
„Also can only hit the development alliance in China? Under ha, how Lakers countersign this player, I estimated that this year's failing to be elected rising star, the level is insufficient to hit the development alliance of China. De'an Tony is also turns to any doctor one can find when critically ill.” Illustrated that the honored guest said with a smile.
Another side, Spurs also White Seder who notes just to go on stage.
„This fellow is seven chi (0.33 m) tall man, the arm is very long, looks like somewhat thin, resistance capability will be quite perhaps insufficient. Field 1.5 points 2.1 backboards, definitely are do the blue collar of dirty job. This player stresses one in the middle of the alliance in a big way, does not need to pay attention specially.” Popowycz has not cared about White Seder's going on stage from the start.
In the field, Spurs is headed by Ginobili at this time, is leading Tuault, Mills, Belli Nelly and Bunner and other people, this is a normal system that Spurs takes turns. Lakers mainly depends upon Nick - Yang Defen, in addition also has Bazemore, Jordan White Seder who Hill, law Maer as well as just went on stage. Zhang Guan, Gassol and Nash have not presented.
Ginobili passes through half-court, simultaneously the players of careful viewer opposite Lakers walk the position.
Black person who „that just went on stage who is coming, was right, thought that probably was the years two rounds shows, could not mix in nba, played a ball game to the overseas. A passer-by player, this is a breach!” Ginobili thinks of here, hints Mills to pass to itself the ball.
Bunner went forward to hit one to keep off to open the coordination, Ginobili made use the breakthrough, moreover went to White Seder's direction. Ginobili is also the root slippery customer, detected that White Seder is a fresh face, thought that the new person quite bullies, therefore directly to White Seder. Moreover Ginobili is also bad enough, is looking for the body contact intentionally, wants to deceive to violate a regulation, the luck good to do one two to add one.
White Seder's footsteps are flexible, he draws back slightly, the fierce shunt the body, making Ginobili not find the body contact.
„This giant acted was very actually keen, but gave I such big space, I may probably layup directly!” Ginobili takes off to layup without hesitation.
„This ball had!” The basketball gets rid, in Ginobbi thoughts of gain one happy.
Also in this time, a big hand suddenly from airborne appearance.
„!” White Seder kindly gives a Ginobili big hot pot!
„What? Is that passer-by player!” Ginobili is surprised.
At this time, Nick - Yang has controlled the ball, then the coordinated process layups, takes two points for Lakers successfully.
......
„Effect looks like very good.” De'an Tony quite satisfied nod, he turns the head, said to Zhang Guan and Nash: „You should go on stage, making Spurs taste anything is the true running bang!”( To be continued., Your support, is I biggest power.) 17-02-22
