: 15002. Super coach Popovich

Although leading by two points and entering the halftime break, the Spurs were not very excited. The players were ambitious to beat the Hawks in the second half. Duncan's buzzer three-pointer was very morale, mainly Popovich. In the second half of the second quarter, Popovich can only rearrange the star singles tactics.
First, the Spurs system is still immature, and the Hawks have gradually adapted to the Spurs' offense defense.
Although he stumbled at the beginning, Liu Mang gradually relied on the "rejection of the horse" feature to gradually divide Battier and Duncan, and Brent Barry from the bench. He became more and more skilled before the system prompts. In addition to the preparation for the defense and command teammates to prepare for the position.
It seems that there is a natural tacit understanding with the Lakers Koga Yaoao four. The four are usually at least three on the field, and the role players are only two different; the Spurs are usually two stars on the field, with three role players, tactics. The complexity is even worse than the triangle attack.
This made the Spurs' team offensive hindered.
The second is that the Hawks' offense is too stable! Liu Mang, McGrady, Jason Terry, O'Neal and even Scola all have solid mid-range singles.
Liu Mang, Tracy McGrady, Jason Terry and O’Neal played well. When the Hawks sent these four players together with Scola ’s lineup, the Spurs defended the other four, but even Scola ’s Casting is very accurate, not like a rookie!
At the age of 16, Scola, who has played in the Spanish basketball world in Europe, has been playing professional basketball for more than ten years. Although he first entered the NBA and found that the entire NBA is a strong enemy, but Scola has no stage fright and should throw Throwing, after all, is a 27-year-old "veteran".
The opponent's attack on their system has touched the defensive path. Their system offensive began to lose some efficiency in the first half of the second quarter. At this time, Popovich's choice had to change back to the star's style of play.
It must be said that Popovich was extremely keen in making judgments and made a very correct choice when the team was not completely disadvantaged.
O’Neal ’s defense is barely okay. After all, he was one of the best insiders in the Eastern Conference. However, Scola is an absolute defensive black hole. The Spurs ’star strategy is not to give up the system, but it is not so troublesome. It was enough to help Duncan find a matchup for Scola inside, and the Spurs replaced another inside with a mid-range pitcher with a pick-and-roll.
The troika relies on personal ability to overtake the score before halftime.
Duncan only scored 4 points in the previous quarter, but scored 11 points in the second half of the second quarter. He scored 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 block and 2 steals in the second half.
Ginobili is the key for the Spurs to hold up the situation when the team's offensive performance was poor in the first half of the second quarter, scoring 7 points in the half.
Parker scored 3 points and 4 assists in the half. His performance on the offensive end was average today. Rondo and Liu Mang's rotation defense gave him a great suppression of personal offense.
But Parker and Duncan have already scored eight assists on a half-time occasion. The Spurs only led by two points. Duncan passed the second half of the second quarter with 11 points and the buzzer three points to overtake the two points!
4 of 9 shots, including 1 of 3 3-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, Liu Mang scored 13 points, 5 assists, 3 rebounds and 2 blocks in the half, Tracy McGrady was 4 of 7 and only hit a 3-pointer, 3 of 5 free throws and half 11 points.
Jason Terry and Scola scored 7 points, O'Neal scored 5 points.
Spurs, the Hawks have prepared a group of middle distance masters from the beginning!
Duncan was so powerful in the second half of the second quarter, the Hawks still maintained the lead because of the super middle distance lineups like Liu Mang, Jason Terry, McGrady, Scola, O'Neal. ! It was only at the end that Duncan got mad at the buzzer and made a three-point overtake.
In the Spurs locker room, Popovich was sitting next to the small blackboard, thinking of the Hawks 'past games this season and today's gameplay, and gradually analyzed the Hawks' play this season.
"A team attack based on different inside combinations?"
Thinking of this, Popovich wrote something on the tactical board.
If Liu Mang is here, it is estimated to be scared!
The tactical board reads: "Jermaine O'Neal, Luis Scola-Spurs; Kwame Brown, Marion-Cavaliers; Brad Miller, Marion-Mavericks ..."
Popovich wrote, erased, and kept shaking his head, changing ...
Slowly, Popovich left a few insider combinations on the small blackboard that he felt reliable!
Just as Liu Mang gradually found a way to deal with the existing immature Spurs system, forcing the Spurs to increase the role of stars, Popovich also analyzed the basic points of Liu Mang's strategy!
It's just that both of them have the same problem, and both have unsolved problems.
The analysis came out, completely suppressed ... neither of them had a good way.
Liu Mang can find some ways to deal with the Spurs system, but the Spurs system is coupled with the troika's peak singles, which is quite unsolvable; Popovich's view of the Eagles' current tactical thinking is very straightforward, it is unsolvable!
Liu Mang, Jason Terry, McGrady, Scola, O'Neal ... In the face of this lineup, find a way to start from the offensive end, Popovich thinks it is not difficult, to guard ... unless all five of them today Hit the iron.
And Scola!
Originally, Popovich thought that the Hawks traded with Battier was Brad Miller, but it was Scola!
Brad Miller has always been a character who was thrashed by Duncan. Popovich has done a good job of attacking and defending Brad Miller. As a result, Brad Miller played a few times when Duncan took a break Minutes, Duncan went up. The power forwards sent by the Hawks are all mid-range pitchers!
Popovich wanted to scratch his head, but when he thought about the hairstyle of the other head coach, Popovich resisted.
However, today's game also gave Popovich some tips. The strength of the three lovers is still at its peak, so it is not a bad thing to fine-tune the system so that the three have more plays. For Popovich The current situation is still very favorable. Duncan's 11 points in the second half of the second quarter gave Popovich a lot of confidence.
After returning from intermission, the expressions of the players of the two teams were very different.
The Spurs came back with a sense of high morale leading the halftime lead.
On the Eagles side, it seemed to be frightened. Charles Barkley, the commentator of .T, was making fun of the Eagles again, saying that he was scared by Duncan's three-pointer.
Only the Hawks players know why they are shocked ...
Gortat took a difficult mission, like going to go to the same as terrorists, and set foot on the stadium.
The Hawks sent a lineup of Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Michael Finley, O'Neal Jr. and Gortat.
When Popovich saw this lineup, although it was strange that the Hawks had nothing to exchange for the behavior of going back to play after the intermission, but the Hawks lineup Popovich was very certain.
Gortat also has a midrange vote. Although he looks a bit frightened, he has good abilities. The other four players are old fritters with midrange shots. The youngest Liu Mang is also in his seventh year.
Now that Jason Terry and Finley are on the field, Popovich is ready to increase Ginobili's play, sending a lineup of Parker, Ginobili, Battier, Duncan, and Francisco Elson.
The Hawks started first in the second half.
Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt and handed the ball to Jason Terry. Jason Terry hit a single in the middle distance. After attracting the ball, he gave the ball to Finley. Finley made a mid-range jumper shot ...
Hit!
The Spurs are trying to release the veteran Finley, who has the worst stability. This is a question of defensive strategy. There is a necessary defensive choice, and there is no way for Finley to enter them.
61 level!
Both teams maintain a very efficient scoring efficiency.
The Hawks entered, and Popovich had no choice. This was the expected thing. The other four middle-distance old fritters were present. Gortat squatted, and Elson had to guard, except for O’Neal. The other three Eagles careers have averaged at least 5 assists per season.
Popovich was not impatient. He was ready to start with the offensive end. There was still a half-time game. He slowly analyzed his opponents and took his time.
But ... After the Spurs started their offense, they found that the opponent seemed to be in a hurry, and the defense was quite rough!
When Duncan accepted Elson's pick-and-roll on the inside and took Gortat's defense out to give Parker a pick-and-roll, Gortat seemed to be in a hurry for the pick-and-roll.
The referee's whistle sounds and the Hawks defend and push!
The Spurs' offensive time returns to the table and returns to the 24 second offensive time.
Young players are easy to be anxious. The fans on the scene did not blame Gottat for fouls and gave applause.
Duncan also patted Gortat's back, saying he didn't care.
Gortat feels so tortured in the heart ... the other person is really good!
But the boss's arrangement is bigger than the sky!
Gortat can only say sorry in silence ...
The Spurs re-attacked, the Spurs' offensive combination of inside and outside ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Ginobili is the sharp line on the outside, but the opening is definitely the most stable point of Duncan.
The Hawks guard Duncan is O'Neal. Duncan can do hard singles, but the consumption will be relatively larger. The core of the Spurs system is to allow players to score in the most relaxed way.
After Duncan continued to play a ballless pick-and-roll with Elson and forced the Hawks to change the defense inside, Parker came out to help the ball to block Liu Mang. This time Gortat did not rush to push people and chose to go straight back.
When Duncan turned and cut in, he felt that Gottat was very smart, not too excited as he was last defense, after all, Parker had no long-range ability.
When Duncan crushed Liu Mang into the basket, Gortat also recovered, but Duncan had reached the arc of the reasonable collision zone!
Duncan received the ball at this position, there is no solution! And Parker's pass is in time and in place! The seven-year tacit understanding between the two did not lose to the tacit understanding between Liu Mang and Jason Terry!
Duncan received the ball, changed the ball to his left hand, and held a high shot!
Duncan likes to hold high shots without jumping, using the wingspan and hand-changing shots. Under normal circumstances, such shots in this position are basically unstoppable.
but……
Duncan's ball was just replaced with his left hand extended, Gortat gave Duncan a bear hug and pressed Duncan's two arms together ...
Duncan's left and right hands are very good in the basket. Gortat can't predict the choice of the hand when Duncan shot, so the two arms hugged together!
"Beep"
The referee whistle, Gortat shooting foul on Duncan!
Duncan got two free throws!
Duncan looked at Gortat with a confused expression, and suddenly thought of a terrible thing!
Sorry for being late, too tired during the day, I went back from work to drink porridge and prepared to take a short break. When my eyes were closed, it was 12 o'clock.
