Chapter 256: East and West No. 1

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the strongest metaphysical coach!
Now the Lakers in the Western Conference have fallen to third place. The Spurs who held the record are now No. 1 in the Western Conference.
The Spurs have a good record this season. It's not that they have joined any stars. The main thing is that the GDP three have maintained their health. Of course, they have also found some fairly good players, such as the undrafted Gary Neal.
Each team has a limited number of players, and Qi Li can't take advantage of all the advantages. The small advantages are left to other teams. The Spurs still have a foresight.
If there are other changes, mainly the offense, Popovich is adapting to the trend. The Spurs have strengthened their offense since last season, and this season has become more fluid.
The Spurs' current short and stout insider Blair starts, and there is no authentic fifth position. The Knicks must have an advantage inside, so Qi Li did not deliberately change anything.
The opponents attacked when they came up, all kinds of pick-and-roll screens, in fact, it was a small ball posture, and their insides were very flexible.
Western teams are a bit unaccustomed to this Spurs, but Qi Li looks more.
They are constantly responding to changes, based on the advantage of the inside line, and starting from Curry, to attack the opponent.
The Knicks' offensive and defensive transition is also at the top of the league. Basketball in this era has not emphasized offensive and defensive transitions as later, and some teams are habitually falling out of positions, but Qi Li has always cultivated players' awareness in this regard.
The easiest way to score is no need to do it. This is also the best way to use the inside advantage. The inside advantage is not necessarily a low position.
The tactics in Qi Li's mind are really worthy of the title of master tactician.
There is no way to open the sky. Of course, playing fast also has the risk of making mistakes, so the Knicks can be fast or slow.
The front is fast, and Jordan can't play with the ball in the low post anyway.
In this case, the offensive end benefits most from Green and Ariza, who have relatively low defensive attention.
Ariza's offense is still a bit more stable than Green. Two three-pointers and a few layups have become the player with the highest score in the game.
So fans lamented that the Knicks feel too easy to score. If they fall in position and play with the ball, it will be much harder for Ariza to score in double figures.
The Spurs substitutes came up in the same style, even inside Bonner pulled beyond the three-point line. Young players like George Hill and Gary Neal are very fast, but the Knicks are different.
After O'Neal came up, they controlled the rhythm and handed the ball to the inside to hit the success rate.
In the first half, I didn't see much difference. I felt that no one could prevent anyone. It was very pleasing to the eye.
Fans in the past always said that the Spurs' ball was ugly, in addition to defense or defense, but now it's different.
"At the peak of the East and West matchups, the Spurs personnel have not changed much, so how can I feel such a big change."
"The Knicks have changed so many players, and the result is still the same. Of course, top teams are different from ordinary teams."
"That is to say, Parker feels so good now, I am not optimistic about the Spurs, playing too much.
"Hehe, Knicks fans always look superior and disgusting."
"What's the matter with the sense of superiority? The Knicks are the league's first record. It's useless to be jealous. Look, it's not the Knicks leading at halftime.
In fact, the Spurs shot a bit higher in the first half, but the Knicks shot more because of their rebound advantage.
The Spurs also realized that they and the Knicks are a little troublesome, and the Knicks' offense is really good.
But they are not sure about the battle of positions. Popovich is still a bit uncomfortable without a big center. Even if the tactics change, he is not at ease.
The tactics of pick-and-rolls are very common, even amateur games are used a lot. This does not mean that the tactics are not good, but that the practical value of pick-and-rolls is very high.
In the NBA, the pick-and-rolls can be played out, but the effect is very different. The Spurs' pick-and-rolls are not easy to defend.
Therefore, Qi Li's choice is to keep people in front of the players as much as possible, and they can hit their recognition in misplaced singles. At the same time, the Spurs must not be separated from the three.
After the Spurs changed their offensive tactical system, the three-pointer has always been their big killer.
What the Knicks say is to maintain the lead. No matter how good Parker's condition is, it is difficult to kill them with a small shot.
And their current offensive choices make it difficult for them to take care of defense, especially when facing a strong team like the Knicks.
If they change the defensive strategy, the Knicks are not afraid, then just polish it.
This is the case for a comprehensive strong team, fast or slow without fear, just like the Knicks.
Because the Spurs studied the Knicks, they didn't care about defense that much in the first half.
The Spurs are also a team with changeable tactics. Popovich is actually more utilitarian in this regard. It is only because of the high voice and the guaranteed winning rate of the team that he has the current aura.
They can't give up tactics with hope of victory, but the situation in the first half will also make them make another attempt. All the Knicks have to do is to beat them severely when the opponent changes moves.
Popovich's presence is actually average, but Qi Li with a tactical board in his hand is the best coach in the league.
In the third quarter, the Spurs still started with Parker, and his pick-and-rolls with Duncan and Blair were threatening.
But if he wants to kill inside, whether it is a layup or a mid-range shot, he must be farther away. The Knicks paid more attention to the Spurs' highest scorers in the first half.
It is better to let Blair or Duncan take the shot for Parker.
Parker is confident of his speed. After all, he is the youngest in GDP, and he is still in his prime.
But the Knicks' penalty zone is definitely a no-fly zone. After being capped two, Parker also became cautious.
The Spurs are not allowed to fight indiscriminately. Their boss is Popovich, and the players have also developed such habits. GDP is a bit privileged, so it's not big.
So they changed individuals to carry the ball to execute their tactics ~ EbookFREE.me ~ of course it was Ginobili.
The defense against Ginobili is similar to that against Parker, but Ginobili is more accustomed to shooting from the outside. To be honest, it is more difficult to limit than Parker, but there is one thing that Yaodao is not so stable.
Everyone can kill the demon sword, but the iron is also very painful for the coach.
This Ginobili feels average, unable to lead the Spurs to catch up with the score.
Unknowingly, the Knicks led by a few more points, although not many, but the advantage became more obvious.
Obviously, in the more targeted matchup in the second half, the young Knicks looked more energetic.
The efficiency of the Spurs outside has dropped. Duncan is unable to fully play this point in the face of the Knicks' inside siege. The Spurs are in crisis.
The way the Spurs are in crisis is no different from other teams, and that is to try more three-pointers.
It's just that they are good at disrupting the situation, and they have always had chaos masters in their formation.
