: 701. Popovich's Fear

Although Sun Ce knew that the Spurs would become a rotation team in the future, the next year they won the championship, Parker, Ginobili, and Leonard all rested for at least 14 games. The opponents in the back-to-back game are slightly stronger, and they will take turns. At the age of 38, Duncan played a weird peak season again. He averaged 15 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.9 blocks per game in 29 minutes per game. Only in this way did he avoid excessive turns, but he also took 10 breaks. And that year was the year with the fewest injuries and the healthiest year for the Spurs.
But this Spurs system has just been established, the Spurs have not yet established true dominance, and actually took a rest when facing the second team in the league!
This game is likely to affect the Spurs' throne in the league, the Spurs actually took a break!
Sun Ce really didn't know what the Spurs coach thought!
However, this has a great impact on their Grizzlies.
During the All-Star weekend, when Hollins and his coaching staff were on vacation in Los Angeles, they studied the Spurs and combined with some of the methods they had thought of before, they developed the latest and currently the most complete deal with the Spurs. The team's approach, I want to experiment in the game tonight.
As a result, the other party took a break from the troika, and Ginobili also reported a few days ago that the conservative treatment effect is very good and will not affect the game after the All-Star weekend, and because the Ginobili All-Star last game before the weekend No fight, he can play.
In addition to Duncan and Parker's two nonchalant reasons... Sun Ce sees that Coach Hollins is so angry that he will smash the tactical manual.
Sun Ce used to think that the Spurs were taking a break and it was a good thing for players.
Now as an opponent, I have made enough preparations to have a good fight with the Spurs. When I am ready to go, I suddenly know that the other party takes a rest-
This feels too bad!
Moreover, the preparation they made was for the opponent's troika. Now the opponent's troika is not playing, and the core players have become Iverson, Richard Jefferson, Blair, George Greek Er...
This is a bit uncomfortable. The opponent has become a pure team play, which has a huge impact on the preparation of the Grizzlies. Those things that tactical training in the morning are basically not used.
Sun Ce understands one thing, why the Spurs still look so strong when they take a break.
Because they take a sudden turn off, their opponents will definitely value them, and their preparations must be very hard. However, when they are prepared carefully, the other party's sudden turn off, they can't use their preparations, and they will definitely be affected.
And when the Spurs occasionally had a break before, this lineup played well!
Because the Spurs players do not worry about losing, they lose, they lose, anyway, the record is so good, this mentality makes them very decisive in running tactics and passing.
The most abominable thing is that the Spurs may have learned from the staff that they have finished their training. The Spurs will definitely not see it during the training process. The training is closed, but the staff who come and go after the training is definitely It can be understood from the side that they have completed the preparations. At this time, the Spurs only announced the rotation, which is not enough to describe it, it is simply despicable.
Not only did Sun Ce not feel relaxed because the opponent took the holiday, the opponent was just as difficult to play, but also because the opponent took the holiday and put them together, his mood was also affected.
...
The Spurs' rest break makes everyone feel unbelievable, but it has not reached the point where the Grizzlies are caught off guard. The Spurs' flaws, coach Hollins has already touched some ways.
After a fire, Coach Hollins calmed down and did not blindly make changes. Instead, he emphasized the defensive strategy planned in the morning, firm offensive pertinence, and let it go...
At 6:10 in the evening, Sun Ce entered the stadium with his teammates and saw Iverson, who had not seen him for a long time.
The neat and clean head seemed to be back when he was a teenager, but the gullies on his face wrote that he was no longer the chasing teenager.
"Allen Iverson, No. 0, 36 years old, 180 cm tall, weighs 77 kg, ability evaluation B-, offensive A-, defensive D-, three-point B+, mid-range A-, layup B+, speed A+ … 21 appearances this season, averaging 15.1 minutes per game, 8.3 points per game, 2.6 assists... 45 percent shooting, 34 percent three-point shooting..."
Iverson arrived at the Spurs. There was no chance of playing 14+6 stats per game last season. The Spurs will not give him 30+ minutes per game like last season, but Popovich did not kill Ai. Ferson's characteristics, instead of using the team to help Iverson improve efficiency, let Iverson play his characteristics in the limited time of Iverson's high level of competition.
According to the scouting report and the news that Sun Ce himself usually sees, he knows that the timing of Iverson officially joining the Spurs is very good. When he joined, the Spurs had maintained a large lead in the league. , So that Iverson can completely put down his ego and take the initiative to integrate into the team.
Because he knew that this might be his best chance to win.
Sun Ce put aside his displeasure with the Spurs and put them in preparation for the game.
After the last game with the 76ers last season, Sun Ce thought that he never had the opportunity to compete with Iverson, but did not expect the Spurs to sign Iverson.
Iverson was not in the first two matches. This time is different. Sun Ce has an extra motivation!
...
At 6:30 in the evening, the Grizzlies' away game against the Spurs began.
The Grizzlies sent Sun Ce, Conley, Battier, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. to the starting lineup.
Spurs, George Hill, Iverson, Richard Jefferson, Antonio McDyess, Blair lineup debut.
After the game started, the Spurs started playing with George Hill, Richard Jefferson and Blair as the core.
I have to say that the Spurs' tactics are really powerful, and the fragmented lineup actually runs the offense tightly.
However, coach Hollins responded calmly and did not panic and insisted on the previously planned defense. The effect was very good!
The Grizzlies first used the offensive inside to lower the pace of the game, create confrontation, and fight out the atmosphere of the confrontation. After a few minutes of playing, the Grizzlies were 3 points behind 6-9, and the Spurs' offense was really difficult to deal with.
This was expected by Coach Hollins. I have seen the Spurs play with the Nuggets on a pure substitute. It is because the regular defense cannot prevent the Spurs from attacking. Coach Hollins put Gasol Jr. , Battier, Conley replaced, replaced Tony Allen, Paul George, Jordan Jr., began to further strengthen the confrontation, at the same time sacrifice high-speed rotation defense.
If Parker and Ginobili are present, it is not easy for the Grizzlies to suppress the Spurs. The Grizzlies' high-speed wheel conversion anti-deficiency-can not resist the empty cut, there is a high probability that it will be the old sports car and the old bald. Used, but the current Spurs lineup lacks this ability. Richard Jefferson and Iverson are no longer brave. Sun Ce + Jordan is inside, enough to prevent the old Iverson and Richard. De Jefferson's cut in the middle of the first quarter began to limit the Spurs' offense!
Even if there is no true three core Spurs, the strength is still not to be underestimated, because they are very confident, the running position is too strong in all aspects, the Grizzlies want to kill the Spurs' offense is difficult, but...
Coach Hollins did not want to kill the Spurs with a single shot. That was impossible, and it was even more impossible in the playoffs. The main reason is that the Grizzlies themselves have too much offense, averaging 96.8 points per game. nine.
Therefore, coach Hollins' defensive goal is to pull the opponent into their scoring rhythm on the Grizzlies!
The Spurs are very distinctive this season. The average defense and the top three offenses in the league. When all other teams deal with the Spurs, they want to contain the Spurs' offense while still using the Spurs' average. The level of defensive scoring is really difficult to implement. As of now, no team except the Knicks and Lakers has done so when the Spurs play in the full lineup.
Therefore, coach Hollins doesn't want to go both ways at all, so he can focus on it and stop the Spurs' offense.
Slowly grinding, slowly consuming, the Spurs system is not completely perfect, and there is a fatal flaw-the ability to attack!
In the original time and space, the Spurs only began to crush everything in the 12-13 season. At that time, when the Spurs needed to attack, even if Leonard has not reached the peak, the offensive ability is still very general, but At that time, the Spurs can already rely on the team to solve the problem. Now, the regular time Spurs are basically the same as the future, but it is always a little worse. This is because the Spurs are difficult to beat. The key to the well-prepared Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies work hard to ensure the stability of the offensive end, the defensive end goes all out, the effect is very good!
The game moved in the direction that Hollins coach expected. The score was always anxious. Randolph and Sun Ce went to rest in the eighth minute of the first quarter. The Grizzlies have not fallen behind. Conley and Tony Allen , Paul-George, Double Emperor go up and continue grinding...
The new method of dealing with the Spurs is beginning to pay off! Coach Hollins on the sidelines had a sense of vision of the new version of the magic stick. He looked at the players on the court calmly. In fact, he was ecstatic in his heart: I am really full of wisdom and courage!
The anxious game has been played until the fourth quarter. The Grizzlies rely on the rotation of 10 people. They constantly adjust the defensive rhythm with the changes of the Spurs. They are stunned when the game reaches the fourth quarter. Maintained within 5 points, occasionally overtaking, although the Spurs overtaken back after a while, but the points have not widened.
After the first three quarters, Sun Ce played 21 minutes and scored 9 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks. The performance was very good. The Grizzlies also trailed the Spurs by only 3 points 65-68.
The first three quarters scored less than 70, which is really rare for the Spurs this season!
Two blocked shots, one for Iverson and one for Danny Green on the Spurs' bench.
"Danny Green, 24 years old, ability evaluation C, offensive D+, defensive B-, three-point B+... 26 games played this season, representing the Spurs in 4 games and averaging 10 minutes per game for the Spurs. 5 points and 1.2 assists."
Regarding Danny Green, Sun Ce actually wanted to suggest that the team get it back, but it was because the team did not have good shooting coaches and defensive coaches to teach Danny Green, just like the Hollins coach, Danny Green this Players that need time to train must not be kicked to death.
And then the management chose Paul George... and what Danny Green did, so even if the team brought Tony Allen back, Sun Ce didn’t say to ask Danny Green, there is already Paul George With Morrow, there is no need for Danny Green. Both are now better than Danny Green. The former is talented, the latter is strong, and the Grizzlies are already full of role players.
I just didn’t expect Popovich’s vision to be so good, because of the Grizzlies, Danny Green was all got the Clippers. This season, he played half a season before they were cut by the Clippers. Powich signed him back.
But even without Danny Green, Popovich will develop Mills in the future, and will also tap out Belinelli's talent, so Sun Ce doesn't feel a pity, after all, putting Danny Green in their Grizzlies , Just keep the water dispenser.
With Paul George, who will train Danny Green, Popovich will not be so stupid.
On the Spurs side, Iverson played 25 minutes in the first three quarters, and reached the limit. Iverson played ok in 25 minutes. He made 4 of 10 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and added 4 of 5 free throws. To 13 points and 3 assists, especially after the Grizzlies overtake the score, Iverson scored 5 points to help the Spurs regain the lead and perform brilliantly, but then Iverson's CIC was fanned by Sun Ce, Ivers Sen fought for a while and couldn't jump.
The Spurs' best performer tonight has been the rookie James Anderson, a Grizzlies player who doesn't have much impression on the bench. He stole 15 points in three quarters.
This is an unexpected situation, but the Grizzlies are doing a good job of defending against others, and the problem is not big!
...
In the first three quarters, coach Hollins' tactics were very effective. In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies' closing time came!
The starting lineup of Sun Ce, Conley, Battier, Randolph, and Gasol Jr. debut!
On the Spurs side, George Hill, who played 19 minutes in the first three quarters to stay physically in the final quarter, and Gary Neal, the Spurs' best current pitcher, played together. In the frontcourt, Richard Jefferson and Matt- The lineup of Bonner and Blair appeared.
As soon as the Grizzlies lineup comes up, it will raise the confrontation to the strongest!
The first three quarters have continuously improved confrontation, continued suppression of rhythm, and constantly consumed the opponent's outside feel, waiting for this moment!
In the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies played a 7-1 in the first four minutes. Except that Blair grabbed an offensive rebound and caused Sun Ce to make two free throws, the Spurs had no other points in four minutes!
Popovich is very clever, but this time he lost to coach Hollins, and... there is no way to respond!
The biggest problem for the Spurs, from Popovich's coaching to the present, to the present, to the future can not solve the problem is that they are only good at winning when they have an advantage, very bad at turning over, often they are turned over.
After the Grizzlies came up with a wave of 7 to 1 to overtake the score to 72 to 69, Popovich called for a timeout, but it didn't help much.
Instead, Sun Ce added a single mid-range single after returning from a timeout. Feeling that Sun Ce used a pick-and-roll expert and a traverse jumper to shoot three consecutive goals in the middle distance on the right or the bottom line on the right.
There is also a hook 2+1 hit!
During this time, the Spurs also scored two goals, Popovich specially arranged a three-point tactic for Bonner, Bonner also made a shot, George Hill also made a pick-and-roll breakthrough layup However, the Spurs were again scored 7 points by the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies pulled the score to 5 points with a wave of 7-5!
The 5-point lead is very stable for the Grizzlies. The Spurs did not enter the defense. The Grizzlies are mainly Sun Ce. If they do, they can vote.
Once the Spurs scored, they handed over to Randolph, who has been cultivating for a long time.
Randolph jumped in anger tonight, the team of the once intimate dance partner actually played them. In the middle of the fourth quarter, the angry Randolph scored 8 points in 5 minutes~EbookFREE.me~ The score increased to 22 points.
At this time, Popovich had no tactics. It would be too difficult to ask him to make a comeback... even if there is a Ginobili, he can still bet on whether a demon knife poked himself or stabbed him today. Opponents, there is really no way.
In the fourth quarter, Sun Ce and Randolph scored 15 points together, led the team to play a single quarter score of 25-16, reversing the Spurs 90-84, winning four straight!
After the game is over, Popovich is big!
He used to be afraid of the depth of the Grizzlies' lineup, especially the Grizzlies' four big insiders. Almost all rhythms can be adjusted through inside rotation.
But Popovich didn't think the Grizzlies could find a way to deal with them so quickly, but who knew the Grizzlies really found it!
Although the Spurs took three major breaks, it seemed normal to lose, and only lost 6 points to the Grizzlies.
But Popovich can see that the Grizzlies’ control of the continually strengthening rhythm needs to be improved. This is terrible. There is a criminal law in ancient China that will be late. Popovich now has that feeling. He will Seeing the Grizzlies improve the rhythm control little by little, because the Grizzlies already have this awareness and have started to develop towards this aspect.
But Popovich was unable to cope!
Compared with the Grizzlies, Randolph has a stable point of attack. Even if it is an inside, it is not very useful at the critical moment, and it is stronger than their Spurs. They have no such players. Iverson can make a top, but Not a long-term solution.
The terrible thing is that the opponent's regular season outbreak was so amazing that the playoffs broke out even more exaggerated Sun Ce, have not yet played!
What makes Popovich desperate is...avoiding the Grizzlies, and the Lakers and Mavericks!
