This year the western competition indeed is enough intensity, four playoff showdowns, 4 : 2 have defeated the rocket besides the earlier worker, other three groups have projected on seventh.
On May 3, the thunder and express steamer, have defeated the respective match at own home game, these two teams are going west in the semifinal to meet. In a playoff that on the same day eastern part is held, the pedestrian has defeated Hawks at the home game similarly, by 4 : 3 eliminates the eagle.
This regarding Lakers obviously is not a very good sign, three groups overthrow the seventh showdown, is the home game team wins, the away game team was eliminated. But then the last competition of Lakers and Spurs, is held at the home game of Spurs.
Returns to the att center hall once more, the Spurs unity is strength, but fan of Spurs, makes Lakers feel the pressure of devil home game.
„Beat-l.a.! beat-l.a.! beat-l.a .......”
This slogan, regarding Lakers should be incomparable familiar, beat-la, „defeats Lakers”, in 1980 Celts confronted the Philadelphia 76 people of teams, the fan sees with own eyes to have no hope to win, the audience shouted together „beat-la”, defeating the hope of Lakers has given own match Philadelphia. This slogan is especially resounding in the playoff, for more than 30 years, so long as enters to the playoff critical campaign, each match of Lakers, what is direct is indirect, cries up this slogan at the home game.
Today, this slogan resounds through in the att center field once more.
„If Lakers can win this year, will create a miracle! Not is only the black eight miracles, make a comeback under 0 : 3 backwardness, are never some people have achieved.” A photojournalist opens the mouth to sigh.
„If here is the home game of Lakers, possibility, but here is the home game of Spurs, Lakers did not have the hope. This year Spurs was really too strong!” Mike - Wells opens the mouth to say. He is the espn trump card sports reporter, this time arrives at war of the cover live this focal point.
„But you have a look at the lineup of Lakers, is not weak.” The photojournalist opens the mouth to say.
„The lineup of Lakers is not weak, in has outside, top star player, but both sides in the tactical level, are not a rank, De'an Tony to Popowycz, has missed a point! You wait to look, this competition will be the victory of tactical arrangement, several years ago that appearance!” Wells opens the mouth to say.
They spoke, the competition started, both sides sent conventional lineup, not any change.
Lakers expelling bang, is certainly fastidious about the hasty attacks and quick rhythm biography directrix, but those who make De'an Tony not think, Spurs chose unexpectedly has hit to the bang!
Indeed is „”, looked like Spurs hit Phoenix Sun in the playoff in the past.
De'an Tony's train of thought cannot help but returned for several years ago, at that time he was the head coach of Phoenix Sun, that Suns under his training, consecutively for several years was west the first three strong teams, was considered as the chief champion most powerful contender.
However in the playoff, Sun actually defeated in the Spurs hand, 2005 west played in the finals, Sun 1 : 4 did not beat Spurs, 2006 western semifinal, Sun 2 : 4 did not beat Spurs. But that time Spurs, hit unexpectedly with Suns to the bang!
That is De'an Coach Tony in the profession the most deeply grieved experience, he vaguely remembers the first contest of both sides, at the home game of Suns, solar fourth has taken 32 points, this attacks the team regarding one, the single-node 30 + is a normal digit. But match Spurs, actually actually rumbled in the fourth period of competition 43 points!
Then Spurs dared with piston „five beave generals” the team of competion defense, but Sun that was good at mass-criticizing, in oneself displayed in the normal situation, the vigor compared with was partial in Spurs of defense unexpectedly, this regarding De'an Tony, was really very profound lesson.
But now, Spurs one's old tricks heavy, they must with Lakers compared with the attack, moreover this time at the home game of Spurs, they have the superiority.
......
„Tony - Parker!” Dj of scene shouted loudly the name of Parker, because he scored points.
Hits to the bang, Parker certainly be more highly effective than aged Duncan, moreover present Nash, in the defensive end is also a loophole, Parker can easily in Nash head score.
Ginobili who meanwhile Denny Green and substitute are going on stage also has very good display. But Splitt some greatly this tactic, therefore early was changed. Instead was Boris Tuault had quite many presence opportunities.
Spurs each goal, scene will seethe with excitement, but that „beat-l.a.” The shout, is as before lingering on faintly, but Lakers not backward score.
„Zhang Guan, three-pointer! Enters again! The attractiveness that this ball hits, welcomed Leonard's defense to throw into the ball. 28 : 28 draws, Lakers have tied the score!”
„Zhang Guan, withdraws step three-pointer, entered! 37 : 38, Lakers reduced 1 point the disparity!”
„Opens the crown holding, the time are not much, 5 seconds, 4 seconds, 3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second, the three-pointer gets rid! Entered! Presses the sentry post three-pointer! This ball Leonard has sealed on Zhang Guan the face, but Zhang Guan scores the goal! The first half ended, is relying on Zhang Guanya the whistling three-pointer, Lakers by 64 : 65, temporarily falls behind a Spurs point.”
Popowycz is looking at the data statistics, suddenly confused feelings.
The first half, Zhang Guan altogether gets rid 23 times, what is essential is 15 times, are getting rid outside center line, moreover opens the crown hit probability 9 three-pointers, the three-pointer hit probability has achieved 60%! By the three-pointer, Zhang Guan has taken merely 27 points, but was counted two points of ball to get rid and punish the basket, Zhang Guan has attained the entire 37 points in the first half!
The half-court score surpasses 30, in active duty athlete also some people can achieve, for example James and Durante, make them go all out to score points , the half-court 30 points are not difficult. Past Chamberlain in half-court had attained 59 points, but Kobe in half-court has also attained 55 points.
At the hit probability, Zhang Guan is not the unusual exaggeration. In the past Kobe's that 81 points, the hit probability at over 60%, the single field 65 points with single field 62 points of that twice, the hit probability separately was 59% and 58%, the single field 61 points of time hit probability has achieved 61%. These competitions can chop the next over 50 points strong person, their hit probability half maintain at about 60%.
However most makes Popowycz feel what worry is that 15 throws 9 the three-pointers!
in nba history, what single Chang shows the three-pointer number of times to be most is the jr- Smith's 22 times, but at present Zhang Guan has thrown 15 three-pointers, in the second half he only needs to throw 7 three-pointers, can tie the jr Smith's record, throws 8 three-pointers again, can break this record.
However at that time jr Smith had thrown 22 three-pointers, only has actually hit 10, but Zhang Guan in the first half on hit probability 9!
what in nba single Chang the hit three-pointer are most is Kobe, he in 2003 confronts the supersonic speed, the three-pointer 18 throw in 12, the three-pointer hit probability reaches as high as 66.7%, this record must to 2016, be broken by abnormal accurate, at that time only used 17 three-pointers to shoot, has hit 13 balls, the three-pointer hit probability reaches as high as 76.5%.
Today Zhang Guan the three-pointer hit probability exactly is 60%, was inferior that in the past that Kobe, was inferior to of future, however makes Popowycz feel sufficiently shocking.
After Warriors will win the championship next year, nba starts to be popular to throw the three-pointer, the team that at that time in nba was good at throwing the three-pointer, the field can project over 30 three-pointers, but Rocket under De'an Tony account is abnormal, the field gets rid 86.8 times, including 40 times are getting rid of three-pointer, the similar team completes outside the center line regarding half attack.
But Spurs of this season, the field only has 21.4 times three-pointers to get rid, Mr. Popowycz looks helplessly Zhang Guan has thrown 15 three-pointers in the first half, possibly to be how fearful and apprehensive.
Throws the three-pointer, this completely is the three years later fighting methods, even if when three years later, Spurs had has coped with the experience of brave warrior, may meet that throws the three-pointer the rocket meets the headache as before extremely. Now ahead of time runs into the team that has hit to attack also throws the three-pointer, Popowycz suddenly somewhat feels helpless unexpectedly.
......
In the second half, after Zhang Guan has thrown into two three-pointers, the narrator starts unable to sit still.
„Zhang Guan, only needs to throw into a three-pointer again, can tie the records of kopeck single field 12 three-pointers! Now third has hit less than half, looks like a crown breaks this record, did not have the suspense!” The narrator voice just fell, opens outside the crown distance center line also one step ahead of time to get rid.
„Three-pointer, entered! 12 th! Zhang Guan in the 12 th three-pointer that this competition hits! He has tied Kobe's single Chang to hit the records of 12 three-pointers, if he throws into one again, can break this record!” Narrator excited high of roars, but in front of the television, the innumerable fans is also excited.
the record of nba definitely is not every day has, the fan spends the time to watch the competition, naturally is the hope sees the splendid showdown, if can witness to a birth of new record, regardless of the competition is splendid or not, regardless of result of the competition how, trip has not been made in vain regarding fan. Regarding the neutral fan, Zhang Guan the performance is worth them applauding.
But regarding the fan of Spurs home game, this is actually not a good news, broke the record at own home game by the match, moreover matter that such essential competition, indeed very much injures the morale.
Morale most injured Leonard, is he is responsible for defending Zhang Guan, in top defense as alliance, even if runs into LeBron James, Leonard did not instigate completely that however in today's competition, he actually cannot defend Zhang Guan the three-pointer projection.
James is a player of comparison dependence breakthrough, his pitching accuracy is not high, is that type does not need too to defend the player but who cannot the to ignore he shoot desirably. In the future Warriors against James, even adopts to withdraw two steps defense, this completely looks down upon James's shooting.
James's shooting in Warriors „abnormal” in eye, indeed is not anything. However in 2004 playoff, brave warrior „abnormal” also stemmed from the beginning stage.
in nba against three-pointer pitcher, is always primarily disturbing, has not come up the going all out post to guard, went all out to paste a result of against three-pointer marksman, Maidi told the entire alliance with 35 seconds of splendid performance, how finally can be. After „abnormal” appears, the entire nba nobody can defend him unexpectedly. Parker even indicated that against best means do not make him catch a ball, once receives the ball, only that can achieve is starts to pray.
Naturally arrived again afterward, the nba afterward gate also summarized some methods to cope with, for example exerted pressure and harasses using the height dribbling rhythm and audience post against, ahead of time Bao Jia wait/etc., each guard had special aims at method, overwhelming majorities before got rid disturbed it.
But present Leonard, where knows these know-how, he deferred to the way of against three-pointer to defend Zhang Guan in the past, naturally was various admitting defeat.
......
13 three-pointers, look like are only the issues of time, but regarding Spurs, they extremely hopes this time is later.
But should come must come after all, now is the third half, Zhang Guan has greatly the time throws into the 13 th three-pointer.
„Zhang Guan, three-pointer! Shoots the frame to leave!”
The Spurs home game fan grows the one breath in abundance, however in this time, White Seder jumps out from the crowd in this, dialed the ball to the outwire. Bazemore grabs this ball, immediately the holding breaks through, after attracting the attention of Spurs, the spherical sector has given Zhang Guan.
„Zhang Guan, comes a three-pointer again, entered! The 13 th three-pointer, Zhang Guan broke the records of Kobe single field 12 three-pointers!”
The fan has exuded the disappointed sigh, but Popowycz immediately calls one to stop short.
In fact the score of Spurs has not fallen behind, Popowycz's suspension main goal to stabilize the morale of troops, lets the player psychological should not be affected.
Has saying that the players of Spurs are very steady, they have not expressed the flurried mood, but continues the tactic that carries out Popowycz to formulate.
Has saying that the firepower of Spurs is really formidable, even if hits to the bang, they completely are not weak in Lakers . Moreover the defense of Spurs obviously be better than on Lakers, if not open the crown is maintaining high three-pointer hit probability, Lakers definitely already had been pulled open the score by Spurs.
But the competition this time, Lakers only has also been able to continue to believe Zhang Guan the feel.
„Three-pointer, enters, 14 th! single Chang hits the 14 th three-pointer! Zhang Guan has created a new record! Simultaneously this is also Zhang Guan in this competition 23 rd getting rid, he breaks the record that the jr Smith single field 22 three-pointers have gotten rid of!”
End of the third section, Zhang Guan has thrown into the 14 th three-pointer, Spurs through the attack that time exhausts, making the third period of competition terminate, at this time the score of both sides is 92 : 94, Spurs leads two points as before.
Spurs, the Duncan 12 points, the Parker 16 points, the Ginobili 11 points, the Leonard 11 points, the Denny Green 12 points, the Tuault 10 points, the team six people score points unexpectedly the pair. But Zhang Guan a person has taken 56 points!
„Three 56 points, today's Zhang Guan was too terrorist, can rush for 80 points?”
„If Zhang Guan hits full fourth, perhaps really can break 80 points, is away from 80 points of also 24 points, regarding the top scorer, the single-node 24 points is not impossible.”
„Spurs is also six people scores points the pair, Mills and Belli Nelly also soon obtained 10 points. The fourth section if gives them several getting rid opportunities, they definitely can also obtain the scores of two figures.”
„I was look, this is the contest of a star player and team, Lakers now completely by opening the three-pointer of crown, but Spurs was only five people on together.”
„Said right, this completely is two different basketball ideas, coordinates by the team, depends on the super giant star. The final result must be announced immediately.”
„Fourth started! Looked quickly that Zhang Guan has not rested, he as in field! Said that he must hit full fourth!”
„Zhang Guan has not rested in third, then must hit full fourth again, this was must go all out.”
„Lakers fall behind two points, to this time, has not spelled is not good! De'an Tony does not dare to make Zhang Guan be out from the start the rest.”
„Three-pointer, entered! Zhang Guan the three-pointer entered! The 15 th three-pointer, 95 : 94, Lakers instead surpassed finally!”
Zhang Guan has thrown into this competition 15 th three-pointer , helping the Lakers counter- ultra score.
The next second, erupts the shouting " long live " before the emperor Tsunami sound on the spot.
„Beat-l.a.!”
The fans of Spurs do not accept the backwardness, they must overthrow Los Angeles!
„Beat-l.a.!”
The players of Spurs gripped the fist all excitedly, they were glowering to each Lakers player, in their expression revealed thick war intent.
„Beat-l.a.!”
The De'an Tony unconscious feeling both hands start to shiver, he knows, when the Lakers score counter- ultra that second, the determining the final outcome time also finally arrived!( To be continued., Your support, is I biggest power.) 17-02-24
