: 207. Popovich's tricks

The Lakers' second team did not take advantage of the Spurs. This is normal. The Lakers and the Spurs' second team have similar evaluations in the league. The Lakers rely on the players that others want to see, and the Spurs are based on the Vitch system bonus. ◢Щщш.suimeng.lā
"Manu, do you think there is something wrong on the court!" Duncan suddenly turned to Ginobili.
Duncan suddenly said something, still that kind of hard tone. If you change to someone else, you will definitely be shocked and may be withered, but Ginobili has long been used to it. He touched his poor head and asked casually. Said: "What's wrong?"
"Why do I feel like we are like the Lakers, and the Lakers are like us?"
Duncan's expression remained the same as a rock, and his tone of voice was still the same, but Ginobili felt that Duncan was really curious from Duncan's tough tone and the usual dull eyes.
Ginobili, who was thinking about what song he wanted to record at the Los Angeles recording studio, was curiously looking at the court after the game.
Okay, Ginobili, a 37-8 veteran, doesn't care about such a regular season at all. He will play the field, but he really doesn't care at all. Even if his opponent is Kobe, he has already played with Kobe. He has played seven to eighty times, and the freshness has long passed. He is not James, and he can only play against Kobe twice a year. In the first place, the number of times James and Kobe played against Kobe plus the All-Star was about 30 times.
Ginobili watched several rounds on the court and suddenly found something wrong!
He now runs wildly on his side and shoots when he has the opportunity. The running and bombing tactics are very thorough. The Lakers’ offense is very structured. The power forward supports the shooting guards. The forwards dare to fight and control. Wei plays steadily, the center focuses on rebounds and defense under the basket, offensive and defensive are very organized!
The Lakers players are also pitiful when they get up. The coach doesn’t pay attention to defense and never trains defense. They have no choice but to figure out how to defend on their own. Slowly they really found a defensive understanding for them, and the defense is also pretty special. It is the current lineup. If the forward is replaced by Liu Ren, the Lakers will basically have the best defensive lineup, which is very effective against ordinary teams.
Ginobili said in surprise: "How come it seems that we have become the Lakers, and the Lakers have become our ground in a mess?"
"Manu, what did the guy opposite you do to Kawhi? Kawhi doesn't seem to be right now?"
Duncan suddenly changed the subject, which made Ginobili very uncomfortable, but he was too accustomed to Duncan, and if Duncan didn't, he wouldn't adapt.
Ginobili answered honestly: "I don't know, what do you think?"
Duncan shook his head: "I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing.
"Do you want to educate this?" Ginobili got itchy hands.
"Not interested, just the regular season, so tired." Duncan said proudly.
"It's boring. When will the playoffs come? Greg Cheng made us boring to play." Ginobili touched his poor bald head again. He thought his baldness was all the stone face next to him. broken.
On the Lakers side, Liu Ren is also suspicious of life. He actually saw his team's Lakers become so "mature and stable", playing steadily and making no mistakes.
Of course, this is set off by peers, the Spurs are playing too unrestrainedly now!
The audience at the scene and more than one hundred TV stations were equally surprised. The two teams seemed to be playing basketball after changing their jerseys.
And the Spurs' running and bombing is no worse than D'Antoni's running and bombing, relying on crazy fast break to slowly catch up with the score!
The scene was lively, but the points were eaten a little bit, D'Antoni's face began to flush again.
This plot show did not follow D'Antoni’s idea. Liu Renjin performed so well and got the opponent’s best outside line. According to D'Antoni’s idea, he should come on the bench to further spread the score, because the previous two matches with the Spurs The Lakers have an advantage against the Spurs' bench. I didn't expect it to be completely different today, leading so much, but the bench was slammed by the opponent.
Seeing that the point difference was forced to close to within 1 point, D'Antoni couldn't sit still. In the seventh minute of the second quarter, he called a timeout and prepared to change players early. Originally, only Liu Ren was here in the second quarter. Time was replaced with the remaining time before the end of the round of the lineup before halftime.
Vicki smiled, he was about to change into a lineup that restrained running and bombing, D'Antoni knew clearly about his thoughts.
"Patti, Danny, Kawhi, Tim, Chris, you play, lower the pace, Kawhi, you have to know what you should do, don’t do things you shouldn’t do! The Lakers will definitely play fast break, after being blocked by us That Liu will definitely rely on his personal ability to break through the situation as before. You have to lock him up with Tim! Remember that you can't do things you shouldn't do!" Vitch called several names, and finally focused on Leonard.
Leonard's expression remained unchanged, but he clenched his fists and silently expressed his dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, Vitch didn't notice this. Vitch thought that the players he trained would definitely obey the arrangement.
The Lakers replaced Nash, Kobe, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, Gasol, and a brisk lineup. D'Antoni had a clear idea to improve the speed to deal with the Spurs' fast break.
However, after Liu Ren came on the court, he saw that the lineups of the two sides were not good enough, and D'Antoni definitely hit the other side's trap!
The Spurs are a team that Liu Ren pays attention to. He watched six games in the 14 playoffs. The Heat's fast break lineup was played around by the Spurs lineup!
Liu Ren knows that D'Antoni has only one tactic, that is, offense. He knows that there is nothing in D'Antoni's mind that can't be solved by offense.
This point must have been taken advantage of by the old fox Vitch!
With the Lakers' ball rights, Liu Ren, who was planning to attack after playing, decided to change his strategy!
The Lakers offensively, the Spurs used oppressive defenses to restrain the Lakers from running outside. Duncan was not able to get out. He used his own defense range covering the entire three-second zone to guard the inside. Dior was active. Wandering in the three-second zone does not give the Lakers a little room for scoring.
That is to say, the team under Vitch can do this kind of sudden change of all tactics, from reckless running and bombing into a low-tempo positional battle. This is the first time the Spurs have played such a strange move. It was used again in the playoffs and even the finals, but it was used in advance today!
This kind of sudden change of odds actually has a big disadvantage. After using it a few times, it doesn’t work so well. Just like the Spurs in the 14-15 season, they just won the championship in the second year. , Because everything about them has been thoroughly studied by opponents.
But Vitch can’t manage so much now. There is something out of his control on the team. The factors outside of his control like Stephen Jackson back then made him a little crazy, making his preparations for the playoffs again. The tricks used are used.
Sure enough, the Spurs suddenly caught the Lakers by their oppressive defense. The Lakers have become accustomed to the Spurs' undefended play just now. They were thinking of scoring points on the court. Who knew that the other side suddenly played defense again!
