Chapter 452: Popovich being played

You can search for "I'm so accurate in my shots" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!
The Lakers' first offense, Sun Hao and Walker played together at the top of the arc.
The Spurs chose to double-team Sun Hao, Sun Hao scored the ball to Walker, Walker scored the ball to Payton, Payton then scored to Ariza, and Ariza made a three-pointer.
"Huh!"
Hand up the knife and drop.
The Lakers showed the results of the season run-in and played a beautiful teamwork in the first round.
The scene is given to Popovich.
There was no reaction on Popovich's face, his eyes were always on O'Neill.
The Spurs played free-throw line tactics in the frontcourt. Parker passed Duncan's free throw line and made a mid-range shot.
Ginobili shined last season. In theory, this season should be a year of explosive data for Ginobili.
But the Spurs have always taken an unusual path in this regard. The team with the most shots this season is Parker, who averaged 18.9 points per game, a career high.
Looking back, Payton held the ball at the top of the arc, Sun Hao ran without the ball, the mid-range shot attracted a double-teamed Walker after receiving the ball, Walker caught the ball and broke the layup and created a defensive foul for Nestorovic.
Walker adjusted his breathing and made two free throws from the free throw line.
The Lakers' opening two offenses were unexpected, and the Mercury Lands team basketball was pleasing to the eye.
The ball was exchanged and Duncan made a mid-range shot.
Popovich is familiar with the Lakers and grabbed the free-throw line, the Lakers' most deadly spot.
However, in the next round, Sun Hao used Walker to screen and quickly shot a three-pointer.
"Huh!"
The same hollow pocket!
8 to 4!
Both teams scored in every round of offense in the opening game!
Such a scene also reminds the fans of the two teams' confrontation last year.
But at this moment, Popovich stood up, walked to the sidelines and stretched out his hand to signal the team's defense adjustment.
The Spurs' defense suddenly expanded, and Walker missed a 3-pointer from the outside.
Duncan grabbed a defensive rebound, the Spurs counterattacked defensively, and the Parker sports car started and scored past Payton.
8 to 6!
Popovich put his hands around his chest, and his face was happy.
He has been observing the Lakers' offense since the beginning of the game.
For three consecutive rounds, O'Neal did not participate in the Lakers' offense.
In his opinion, there is only one reason for this abnormal phenomenon, and that is that O'Neal is really injured.
He is not ESPN. He sees the Lakers running lineup completely. If the lineups of both sides are neat, the Spurs must be the weaker side.
But now that O'Neal is fighting with injuries, it is simply a godsend!
Payton held the ball to the frontcourt, and the Spurs still expanded their defense.
Payton scored the ball to Sun Hao, and Sun Hao took the ball and hung it inside.
O'Neal caught the ball and turned around Nesterovic, scoring easily.
The Spurs' defensive expansion can not take back, can only watch O'Neal score.
Popovich was stunned.
But he didn't think much.
O'Neal is injured or injured, this kind of one-on-one grasp is still there, and Nestorovic has already had one foul, and the defensive end is afraid to make a ruthless hand.
He called Muhammad directly from the bench.
Mohammed is the Spurs who came to the trade deadline last year, a short insider of 2.06 meters.
In addition to height, his defense, movement speed, card position, and offensive rebounds are all better than Nestorovic.
So this season, although Nestorovic is still the team's starter, Muhammad's playing time is actually more.
Although he and Nestorovic have proved that they could not prevent O'Neal in the playoffs last season, but now O'Neal is injured!
Even if it is a big shark, its power will decrease if it is injured!
Popovich thinks this adjustment will bring unexpected gains to the team.
And taking advantage of the change, he called Duncan to his side and exhorted a few words.
Duncan's free throw line responded to the Spurs' offense and suddenly turned to the basket to kill.
Popovich’s advice just now was to let Duncan go inside and kill O'Neal.
O'Neal is currently injured and will not be able to keep up with the reaction.
As long as he is beaten down, without O'Neal's Lakers, the Spurs' hopes of winning will be greatly increased.
Duncan made the breakthrough very resolutely, his steps were useless, obviously he was rushing to kill.
The general insiders basically avoided seeing this posture.
Don't look at Duncan's playing most of the time since he was injured, but you didn't discuss it when it was really hard.
However, O'Neal is obviously not a general insider.
After seeing Duncan's aggressiveness, he directly chose head-on.
Tim. Don’t play O’Neal, I’m still the number one insider. Duncan and O’Neal head-to-head...I was directly pushed back.
After getting fat, O'Neal is a meat mountain.
And the next scene was a bit funny: Duncan didn't throw the ball after being knocked back, so he took the ball back several steps, and the referee blew him directly.
Duncan looked around to make sure he was blowing himself, threw the ball, and turned back to halftime as if nothing happened.
The scene was full of laughter.
Sun Hao was also amused, and his reaction was a little cute.
Facts have proved that Duncan is called "dull" for a reason.
The Lakers then attacked the frontcourt, facing the Spurs' widening defense, Payton dropped the ball again inside O'Neal.
O'Neal leaned against Mohammed, who was half a head shorter than himself, and then turned directly to exert force.
"Boom!"
In the excited shouts of the fans, O'Neal smashed the ball directly into the basket through Muhammad.
"What.the...Fxck!"
The commentator's Barkley held his head directly.
It's not that O'Neal's slam dunk is so extinct. In terms of shock, it is shocking that O'Neal used to smash the rebounds, but because O'Neal came too suddenly!
If it is not enough, refer to the principle of boiling frogs in warm water.
Popovich was also stunned.
From before the game to the present, everything implies that O'Neal is indeed injured.
So even if Duncan didn't score the ball just now, he thought it was just a coincidence.
But this dunk completely woke him up.
God is hurt! O'Neal is playing with him!
This will also be verified in the next round!
Parker received a pass from Duncan to the basket, but O'Neal hit his head and covered his face with a big hat!
Duncan quickly got an offensive rebound and made a second offense. As a result, O'Neal reached for another block!
This continuous blocking, this reaction speed, there will be ghosts if there is injury! It's true that you didn't play much at the beginning and had enough energy!
And after the second block, the ball fell into Walker's hands, the Lakers turned and counterattacked defensively, Sun Hao received Walker's long backcourt pass and fast break dunk.
Popovich, dark face stretched out his hand and called a timeout.
"We succeeded~"
At the end, O'Neill pulled Sun Hao and laughed.
Most of the time they played against last season, Popovich made moves.
But this time they played Popovich.
Watching Popovich’s face change on the sidelines, it’s better than winning.
Back from the timeout, Duncan's iconic shot at 45° angle stabilized the situation.
Looking back, Sun Hao and O'Neal played a pick-and-roll. After the disassembly, he passed O'Neal, and O'Neal put the ball into the basket against Ginobili and Duncan who helped defend.
The goal was scored, as if to say: Don't pretend! I have a showdown!
Popovich's face became more ugly.
After coaching for so long, fighting wits with old Nelson, Phil Jackson and other old opponents, he wanted to break his head but couldn't think that he would be fooled by O'Neill...
This makes him feel that his historical position has fallen into the Mariana Trench.
16 to 8!
The key is the score on the court. After he was tricked for a while, the Lakers still took the initiative completely.
This is very important when two teams of similar strength play against each other.
When this quarter played 7 minutes, the score on the court was 22 to 12. The Lakers firmly grasped the situation on the court.
At this time, the Lakers began to replace players. Phil Jackson replaced Payton and O'Neal with Finley and Mourning.
Popovich only eased slightly when he saw this face.
Last season, Phil Jackson was still working on multiple-choice questions about whether to give O'Neal more time to win the game or to reduce some of his playing time to protect O'Neal.
After O'Neal's weight increased again this season, Jackson had no choice.
O'Neal's current physical fitness lasts for about 30 minutes at most in a game, and nothing more.
Converted, a section is almost seven or eight minutes.
So for the Spurs, this is a good opportunity for them to chase points. Look at the novel
In the first round of the substitution, Ginobili scored a layup with a snake-like breakthrough.
When the Lakers advanced to the frontcourt, the Spurs began to expand their defense.
Sun Hao's double-team shot was missed by Duncan's long arm, and Mohammed's excellent card position protected the defensive rebound.
"Run! Run!"
Popovich walked quickly to the sidelines and waved and shouted.
The Spurs responded defensively, and Ginobili received a pass from Parker.
But at the moment he shot, he felt a cloud covering his head.
Fortunately, he reacted fast enough to dodge in the air and then dodge the cover.
Although he completed the shot before landing with his excellent waist and abdomen ability, a series of operations made him lose his good shooting angle.
The ball flew directly over the basket, and came a standard "cross the bridge".
At this time, the man who almost covered him grabbed a defensive rebound.
Mourning!
When Ginobili fell on his and looked up to see the person scratching the board, there was an incredible look in his eyes.
Mourning was still fighting for rebounds in the frontcourt, and was back in the backcourt in a flash?
That is to say, Ginobili entered the league late. Mourning averaged 3+ blocks per game before the kidney change. Those were not completely obtained by positional battles.
After Mourning scored the rebound, he turned to retired Walker, and Antoine Fast Break Engine Walker turned around to fight the Spurs fast break.
Finley received a pass from Walker and scored a layup.
Sun Hao gave Mourning a thumbs up at this time.
Not to mention the 4-pointer in and out of the offensive and defensive round just now, just say that the pursuit and defense just now succeeded, and the momentum of the Spurs' pursuit of points was suppressed.
Compared to the previous Divac and Anderson, Mourning, who has recovered his form, can be regarded as the backup center that the championship team should have.
In the Spurs' positional battle, Duncan responded to the free throw line and Parker cut into the basket, facing the assisting defender Mourning turned to a top layup.
At the beginning, he was refused three-point shooting from Sun Hao, and then worked hard to make a breakthrough. This gyro layup became his strongest weapon.
"Snapped!"
But Parker, like Ginobili, underestimated Mourning's defensive capabilities.
And he was a bit more miserable than Ginobili, and the shot was directly covered by Mourning!
On defense alone, Mourning does not lose to O'Neal!
This one shot, Popovich's brain buzzed.
He is different from Parker Ginobili on the court. He has witnessed Mourning's peak.
In other words, he was not surprised by Mourning's abilities, but he did not expect Mourning to recover to this level!
You must know that Mourning was the same as Hill in the first two comebacks, and he lay down after a few games.
But this season in the Lakers comeback, played 60 games in the regular season, not to mention, the playoffs are so lively.
Does the Lakers have a doctor?
It's a pity that Popovich did not travel through the same way as Sun Hao, otherwise he would know that he had misunderstood.
In history, Mourning's physical condition was not bad after his third comeback. He has played 60+ games for the Heat in two consecutive seasons.
Now he is on the Lakers. The Lakers are strong. He plays a little less in the regular season and has plenty of energy in the playoffs, which is not surprising.
But in this case, Popovich felt a little bit of the malice of the world.
Because this means that it will be difficult for the Spurs to chase points in the backup transition period!
After the first quarter, the score on the court was 29-18, with the Lakers leading.
Popovich was given the scene on the scene, and he was always unchanging, with a rare trace of annoyance.
Obviously, O'Neill was playing tricks tonight, and his whole mood was not getting better.
The Lakers didn't let a good chance slip away either, and they played steadily in the last three quarters. In the fourth quarter, Sun Hao played a personal wave and took the game ahead of time.
In the end, the Lakers beat the Spurs 109-95 at home and won their first victory in the playoffs this year.
On the Spurs side, Duncan scored 25 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists.
On the Lakers side, Sun Hao easily scored a game-high 33 points. O'Neal played in 25 minutes and contributed 19 points and 12 rebounds in a double-double. Finley scored the most off the bench 17 points, Payton 12 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. , Mourning 6 points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks.
This is a typical Lakers victory this season.
The press conference after the game greeted the Lakers in an extremely relaxed atmosphere.
"Shaq, how are your toes feeling now?"
The reporter also cared about O'Neill's toes.
Before the game, he said that his toes were sore, and the media cared about it.
"It's great, I feel my toes are great, I have never been so great."
O'Neill's words made Sun Hao happy.
This murder condemned him, and he sprinkled a handful of salt on Popovich's wound!
"What do you think of Mourning's performance tonight?"
The reporter then asked O'Neill.
"He was better than me tonight!"
"Maybe many people have forgotten that Alonzo and I were in the league in 1992. I am the champion and he is the second place. If Shaq’s ability is 10, then Alonzo is 9, so I treat him well tonight. I'm not surprised at all."
O'Neill is really a big treasure.
"I think Phil must also like him very much, because with him, Phil can rest assured that I only play 20 minutes a night."
His next words also made Jackson amused.
After the press conference, Sun Hao and O'Neal walked to the locker room together.
"Why don't I discuss with Phil in the next game and I will play as a substitute?"
After O'Neill tasted the sweetness, the ghost idea came again.
Sun Hao waved his hand, Popovich was very good, this kind of trick worked for him once, but only once.
Therefore, it is impossible for him to repeat the technique.
"Let's go back to watch the live broadcast earlier, don't forget that we have a small bet."
Sun Hao continued.
O'Neill was also interested when he heard it.
The two went back to the locker room without taking a shower, and went directly to the lounge to watch the live broadcast.
At this time, the team doctor came over to help O'Neal's toes with ice, which happened to kill two birds with one stone.
The Mavericks and the Warriors have played for more than one quarter, with a score of 43 to 38 on the court, and the Mavericks are leading.
"This score is high enough."
O'Neal glanced at the score and said.
Sun Hao smiled.
Compared to things with high scores, the point difference on the court is the key!
The Warriors are on par with the Lone Rangers!
At this time, I have to talk about the difference between this Warriors team and the Golden State gang in history.
The starting and core rotations of the Golden State gang are: Byron Davis, Stephen Jackson, Jason Richardson, Al Harrington, Biedrins, Matt Barnes, Monta · Ellis and Pietrus.
But now, Jackson and Harrington are still playing for the Pacers, Ellis was also selected by the Pacers in last year's NBA Draft, and Pietrus was in the Suns.
Now the starting and core rotations of this Warriors team are: Byron Davis, Jason Richardson, Dunleavy Jr., Jamison, Troy Murphy, Jarrett Jack, Matt Barnes, Biedrins and Wang Zhizhi.
The lineup is different, the player strength is naturally different, but the same is the old Nelson's tactics.
The philosophy he implanted in this Warriors team is completely different from the original Mavericks.
The Mavericks had a defensive foundation at the beginning. The team also recruited defensive coaches like Johnson and Harris. Later, in order to win the championship to fight O'Neal, they also traded Dampier, so they have both offense and defense.
But the Warriors have never been defensive, let alone winning the championship, so the concept he implanted in this team can be summarized in one sentence: What is defense? Forget about the attack!
So this score on the court is not surprising.
The two watched for a while, and when halftime was over, the Mavericks led 58 to 53.
"These guys are too capable of throwing, and too capable of running."
O'Neal couldn't help feeling the Warriors' play style at this time.
Three points, plus counterattack fast break.
From the perspective of Sun Hao, this is the so-called "magic ball" play of the Houston team under D'Antoni in the future.
The only difference is that the talent of this Warriors team is relatively not so high, and the era is not so friendly to this style of play.
To some extent, D'Antoni is "stealing his teacher."
And the old Nelson's knowledge of Johnson and the Mavericks, which he said before, is also playing a vital role.
One of the most obvious places is that the old Nelson has been using the outside to displace Nowitzki~EbookFREE.me~ First Mike Dunleavy, then Matt Barnes, and sometimes even Jason Richard Desen.
Johnson likes to use Nowitzki to play the center to pull off the top of the arc, and this defensive strategy has eaten him to death.
By the second half, Kobe's hand feeling dropped, Nowitzki's performance was still bad, and the situation began to fall to the Warriors.
In the end, in O'Neal's widened eyes, the Warriors finally defeated the Mavericks 103-93, winning the first game upset!
Kobe scored 31 points to no avail, Nowitzki made only 14 points on 4 of 16 shots!
Byron Davis ran into the Warriors and scored 33 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists! Jamison 22 points, Richardson 21 points! The team made 12 of 30 three-pointers!
"These guys just played a whole game like this."
O'Neal is still lamenting the Warriors.
"After all, this is the first time they have reached the playoffs in 13 years."
Sun Hao said with a smile.
Although it sounds weird, but now it seems that even with Kobe, this Lone Ranger team might still be hacked?
