Chapter 273: Popovich has a headache

.., Bishop of the Devil
The game continues, the Spurs have an inside advantage, and the Blazers have an outside advantage.
And the Blazers' outside advantage is greater than the Spurs' inside advantage. In this case, the Blazers will gradually take the lead in the score.
The Blazers mainly opened up this point completely. In the case of the small general, the advantage is too large. The opening shots are all wild boar-style chiseling. If you go to the free throw line, if the Spurs twin towers Going forward to make up for defense, Kobe Bryant scored, either to the inside or to the outside artillery.
In this way, Kobe played an extremely important role on the field, equal to the central axis role on the field.
Popovich became more and more uncomfortable. The Blazers, the official height 198 point guard, was really too puzzled in the face of the small general!
After seven minutes of playing in the first quarter, the Spurs said that although the inside advantage is not small, but because of Kobe Bryant's excellent performance of 4 shots and 4 assists and 4 assists, they still fell behind by five points.
"Toot!" Popovich called for a timeout while taking advantage of the dead ball.
He knew very well that he couldn't just continue to fight like this. If the Spurs didn't make any changes in the backcourt, I'm afraid they would be beaten by Kobe alone.
In desperation, Popovich replaced the small general and replaced small forward Chuck Boson, allowing the original forward swingman Gallon Jackson to defend Kobe.
But such a lineup arrangement, less of the general's ability to pass and control, the Spurs double tower inside the chance to receive the ball a lot!
Although limiting Kobe's performance, it also allowed the Spurs to reduce their offensive advantage inside.
headache!
Popovich had a headache. He looked enviously at Wu Sheng Jackson in the Blazers lineup and sighed secretly.
It would be nice if there was a Martial Saint Jackson in the Spurs lineup...
Jackson has the ability to pass and control. Although he is not as good as a small general, it is also enough. With the addition of a body, it is worse than Kobe and the speed is not slow. It is simply suitable to use to defend Kobe!
The most important thing is that there will be no ball to play in the Spurs inside!
...
Right now the regular season schedule is not over, and Popovich is not sure whether their Spurs will meet the Blazers in the playoffs.
If you really meet in the playoffs, it is definitely not good news for the Spurs...
Even against the Lakers, Popovich did not want to face such a trailblazer.
Their lineup is too confusing, and there are basically no shortcomings in the five positions. The generals available on the bench are numerous and quite difficult...
Especially at Kobe’s point, Popovich was a little unable to parry because the Spurs couldn’t find a big point guard who could let go of Kobe.
Don’t let the little general and his teammates switch, and let the little general defend against Rashid or Robinson?
That situation is estimated to be worse...
If there is a Martial Saint Jackson, the Spurs problem will be solved, and the Blazers will not be so difficult.
Speaking of fact, the place where Wu Sheng Jackson rises is in San Antonio, it is in the Spurs...
He was a major player in the Spurs for a while, helping the Spurs win the championship. At that time, Parker had just emerged, and Ginobili was still a small on the bench.
Wu Sheng can be said to be the third-ranked Spurs champion. With the exception of Duncan and Parker, no one in the team is better than him. Popovich's evaluation of him is also quite high.
Now Popovich has taken Wu San Jackson at a glance, which is extremely normal.
There are now five commonly used backcourts in the hands of Richard, namely Robinson, Kobe, Bowen, Wu Sheng and Old Curry.
These five people have advantages in the backcourt. Even the shortest old Curry has a height of 193...
And these five people have their own characteristics. Both Kobe and Wu Sheng are all-round routes. They can attack and defend defense organizations. Bowen is the defensive route. Old Curry is mainly responsible for shooting cold arrows. Robinson is on the field. The main point of attack.
It is difficult for the opponent to target the Trail Blazers' backcourt, because no team can find such a terrible backcourt throughout the league.
Not to mention the Spurs' strong internal team and weak external team...
...
By the end of the game, the Spurs had lost 15 points.
This difference makes San Antonio fans somewhat unacceptable. The fifteen point difference can already be said to have been hit by someone.
Richard was a little embarrassed. In fact, in this backcourt, two of them were the "corners" of the spurs dug. Both Bowen and Wu Sheng, both of whom Popovich would like in the future, were killed by themselves. Get ahead first...
After winning this game, the Blazers and the Spurs' four matchups this season are 2 wins and 2 losses. If the first game is not counted, the Blazers have the advantage.
Richard attaches great importance to the Spurs. This is something that all Blazers players can perceive. Now they have won the Spurs easily, and everyone will be smiling.
Only Richard was in a calm mood, because he knew very well that the victory over the Spurs wasn't really a big deal. After all, it wasn't the Spurs' heyday after all.
I dug the important players of the Spurs in the future, but maybe Popovich found two good players from other corners. This is not a difficult thing for Popovich.
It can be said that the Spurs have Popovich and Duncan, then they will always be Richard's biggest competitors.
On the contrary, the Lakers are in a better situation now. Richard does not feel too much pressure. Kobe has already been dug himself. The Lakers may not know what the future is. Anyway, three consecutive championships must not be thought of...
Without Kobe, if O'Neal can win three consecutive championships, it won't be that there is no champion at hand.
Maybe after some operation by the Lakers~EbookFREE.me~ gives O'Neill a better lineup, so that they have the strength to compete for the championship, but the three consecutive championships are definitely no play.
...
"Coach, how did I play today?" Bryant asked Richard with a look of excitement after the end.
Richard nodded, "OK..."
Zhang Weiping laughed out loudly, "Well! More than just good, it's simply God's performance!"
Richard said it was okay, it definitely degraded Kobe's performance in today's game!
Kobe Bryant made 10 of 14 two-pointers, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, and 26 points in 15 attempts. This performance is more than okay, just like Zhang Weiping said , The general performance of God.
In the face of Zhang Weiping's praise, Kobe laughed unmodestly. Since playing the All-Star game, he has been performing very well on the court. Even if he does not take up so much shot rights, he can get a good score.
