Chapter 754: Both the Undercover Spurs and the Sullen Popovich!

Atandt Arena, Popovich’s brows are always furrowed.

From the first possession of the Spurs, his brow was furrowed.

In order to defeat Yes, in order to defeat the SuperSonics, this season, he made the most drastic reform of the Spurs.

The team's style was directly changed by him from defense to offense.

This is definitely not because he adapts to the needs of the times, it is entirely for the idea of ​​​​taking Bao as the core and adapting to Bao's needs!

Bao is a defensive core who can only shoot once, and his offensive ability is really very average.

In this case, if the Spurs want to score well, they must rely on others.

Bao can defend his opponents, but if his team's score is lower than that of other teams, then he is really a bastard!

In several games against the SuperSonics last season, under such circumstances, Bao controlled Yes tightly, but the offense of the Spurs players was so stretched that he wanted to send all these undercover agents away!

In the end, he resisted sending away Parker and Ginobili, the two players who had the biggest problems when facing Yes, and was ready to give the two disciples he had trained a chance.

After losing to the SuperSonics last season, Popovich finally summed up the Spurs' current problems.

As long as there is Bao, regardless of defensive style or offensive style, the team's defense is guaranteed. When the Spurs played defensive style last season, most teams faced the Spurs and had difficulty scoring 85 points. The opponent's score in one round was Less than 11 points, and this season, the Spurs have changed their style, and the number of rounds in the game has increased. It is difficult for opponents to score from 85 points to 90 points. Although the points have increased, the opponent's average per round is The score is still only slightly better than 11 per round.

This is a very successful change!

The opponent's offense did not improve much because of his own style change, and Bao held the Spurs' defensive bottom line.

But his offense is completely different. Last season, the Spurs averaged 95 points per game, which was really low among strong teams!

And what about this season?

The Spurs average 105 points per game!

The Spurs' points per possession increased from less than 12 to more than 13!

After the Spurs changed their offensive style,

The opponent's offense has not improved, but your own offense has improved by nearly 10. How many more games can you win with this?

This is also the reason why the Spurs can firmly maintain the first position in the Western Conference this season.

The tactics he developed this season to pass and cut the whole team and use the pass to move quickly and attack quickly can be said to be very, very successful.

No one on other teams can crack his offensive tactical system.

Because his offensive tactical system has no absolute core and does not pursue singles. Everyone is a part of the tactics.

The opponent just can't grasp the key point.

There is really no way. In the past, the Spurs used Ginobili and Parker's tactics to strengthen the offense when attacking.

There really aren't many people in the league who can stop these two. Duncan holds the defensive baseline, Parker and Ginobili sprint towards their opponents, and the game is won.

He and the Spurs use the undefendable attributes of Parker and Ginobili instead of their offensive explosiveness, and he doesn't need these two to have too strong scoring explosiveness.

But after yes appeared, everything changed.

The undefendable offensive attributes of these two people are gone in front of yes!

In other words, when facing yes and the SuperSonics, Parker and Ginobili, two players who have always been the Spurs' offensive strengths in the past, no longer have the advantage of being strong points, and even changed from offensive strengths to offense. Undercover!

What should a team do if it loses its offensive strength? It's very simple, then all the people can only be soldiers!

Unless the game reaches the most critical moment and the Spurs hand over the game to Duncan, usually everyone has to pass and cut. Passing and cutting is the defense that is least afraid of Yes.

Originally, Popovich always thought that when he used this offensive tactic, it would be when Parker and Ginobili were both old and unable to play alone. I really didn't expect that these two were still at their peak. , he took out his offensive system.

I was really scared of being abused by yes!

After he took out this offensive system that was still in the process of being adjusted, it was really invincible.

Although Master Romar's five-small offensive system is not as popular in the American basketball world, in the NBA, it is truly second to none!

But now, his offensive system was actually stopped by his teacher Old Nelson in the first round!

Obviously, Nelson has studied the Spurs' offensive system before.

It is also obvious that Old Nelson has also seen that his pass-and-cut system with no core and everyone is a soldier is a simplified version of Old Nelson's five-little tactics that he uses to keep the bottom of the box!

As Nelson's registered disciple, he certainly knows what dream Nelson has always wanted to realize in the NBA.

He also knew that Nelson had an incredible set of five tactics.

In that set of five tactics, everyone can pass and cut, everyone can shoot, everyone can advance, and everyone even has one-on-one abilities!

His tactical system in the Spurs is a simplified version of Nelson's tactical system. Nelson's tactical system is powerful, but it is impossible to achieve!

Everyone can pass, cut, shoot, advance, and have one-on-one abilities. Do you know what this means for the post players?

Except for Chris Webber at his peak, few insiders have such ability!

If the outside line is used as the inside line of this tactical system, height will be a permanent pain!

He is a realist, not an idealist like Mr. Nelson.

He knew how to adapt, so he simplified this tactical system that was impossible to implement in the NBA into this tactical system of universal communication.

Parker, Bowe, Jackson, Bonner, Duncan!

Each of these five Spurs players can pass, cut, and shoot!

As for everyone being able to advance and everyone being able to go one-on-one, then give up.

He doesn't pursue the ultimate offensive speed, just slower. He doesn't need to rush after getting the ball in every position.

He doesn't need everyone to have the ability to solve problems one-on-one. If you really encounter a problem, just leave it to Duncan.

And how is it possible for a current NBA team to have a team that has very good defensive players in every position, and also has very good defensive movement, and can keep up with the Spurs' passing and cutting speed!

Even the Lakers, who have the strongest defense this season, don't have such ability!

Even last season's Rockets may not have such defensive capabilities.

Therefore, his offensive system is really invincible in his opinion.

Maybe because it doesn't advance that fast and doesn't have one-on-one singles in all positions, it's still far behind Nelson's perfect offensive system, but it's really enough!

Even if Nelson knew the weakness of this tactical system, he still couldn't grasp this weakness!

But now, what did he see? !

"Have the Spurs' invincible pass-cutting, running and gunning this season been really prevented by the SuperSonics?!"

Not only Popovich is shocked now, but commentators and reporters from all over the world such as Barkley and Kenny Smith on the sidelines, as well as many experts in front of the TV are also shocked.

The Spurs requested a timeout less than three minutes into the game.

Popovich requested a timeout so eagerly to solve the problems in the offense.

But after the timeout ended, the Spurs' offensive problems were not solved!

Bonner feels very, very bad now!

This damn basketball came to his hands for the second time. Just when he was about to shoot, Paul Millsap of the SuperSonics just appeared in front of him.

The Spurs have five players on the court. Most of the time, the Spurs' pass-run, pass-cut, pass-and-shoot tactical system requires five or six passes to attack, so in one offensive round, the basketball will generally not pass his hands. twice.

Even if it takes two passes, it is Parker, Duncan and Jackson who have stronger ball-holding abilities.

Now the ball has passed him twice, which means that there is a problem with the Spurs' passing system, and others, like him, have no chance!

"It's too fast, the Sonics' defense rotates too fast!"

"Not only is the defensive rotation speed fast, but more importantly, the defensive players on the SuperSonic field have extremely long hands. The suppression of the Spurs' tactical system is too strong. It is impossible for the Spurs to use their pass, run and pass. Find a shooting opportunity in front of the SuperSonics!"

Milicic, Millsap, Ibaka, yes, Rondo!

Looking at the five Sonics on the court, Phil Jackson was really incredible.

The defensive rotation of these five defensive players on the SuperSonics field is too fast!

As one of the few head coaches in the league, Phil Jackson certainly knows that no matter how fast the defensive rotation is, it is difficult for people to run the ball fast. Therefore, the defensive speed and defensive ability of the small forward position, which is the bonding point between the inside and outside. Very important.

The Spurs passed and ran out of opportunities several times, but in the end they were all destroyed by Ibaka!

"This little guy!"

For the darkest player in the league this season, Phil Jackson is really shocked now.

He still doesn't like this kid in this game, and he still likes to run and jump silly when defending. This is his biggest shortcoming in the game this season, and he is said to be an idiot on the court.

But in this game, Nelson completely used Ibaka's idiotic behavior as the key to the Sonics' defense!

Ibaka's silly runs and jumps during the game will be exploited by players who are strong in singles, which can immediately cause defensive dislocation.

However, the Spurs' tactical system does not require singles. What is needed is to turn the ball and turn out opportunities. When the Spurs finally turn out the opportunity, suddenly a stupid roe deer rushes in front of you and jumps up. Spurs The offensive players can only give up this offensive opportunity, give up this tactic, and start the next tactic again!

Ibaka's unreasonable silly running and jumping greatly undermined Popovich's tactical system!

Looking at the pictures on the TV, Phil Jackson's eyes kept flickering.

As expected of Nelson!

Sure enough, even if yes's light shines so brightly, there is no way to cover up Nelson's light in the Sonics!

In this game, Nelson really suppressed Popovich, who had always given him a headache!

No, Nelson has always suppressed Popovich to death!

Last season, yes's 35-second, 13-minute miracle was Nelson's victory over Popovich.

And this time, it’s still the same!

"This game is so exciting!"

"The Spurs used Bao's one-on-one defense against Yes, which made it very uncomfortable to defend Yes. Almost every attack of Yes was suppressed by Bao until every round was close to 24 seconds before he had a chance!"

"Every attack of Yes in this game was almost a 24-second attack. Bao's defense was so great. If it hadn't been for Yes, most people in the NBA would have collapsed!"

"And what about the Spurs' offense? Nelson used Ibaka and unlimited defensive rotations to stifle the Spurs' offense. The Spurs' offense also had to wait until the last minute before they had a chance to make a move!"

"The Seattle SuperSonics and Spurs are the league's offensive teams this season, but this game turned into a defensive battle between the two teams!"

What was supposed to be an offensive game ended up being an extreme defensive battle, which made Popovich very embarrassed.

The defensive style of the game is very detrimental to the Spurs!

Look at the score on the court now. At the end of the first quarter, the score on the court is 26 to 22, with the Seattle SuperSonics leading by 4 points.

The final trick of the Seattle SuperSonics' offense was to give it to Yes to take a shot at the last 24 seconds against Bao. The efficiency was not high. Yes was restricted by Bao. He only hit 5 of 13 shots in the first quarter, and his shooting rate was not very good. To 40!

How long has it been since the NBA saw a Yes game with a shooting percentage below 60? What's more, it's less than 40, let alone a single defense!

In the first quarter, Bao let the world see the reason why he only averaged 852 per game this season but ranked among the top ten in the vp rankings!

Just like last season, Bao once again laid the cornerstone of victory for the Spurs!

But what about everyone else?

Did they seize the victory opportunity that Bao gave them?

No!

None of them had a chance, they were all forced shots. Their strong shots were actually not as good as Yes who was defended by Bao!

Yes hit 5 goals and 4 three-pointers in 13 shots. He scored 16 points in the first quarter, while the rest of the Spurs only scored 22 points!

Is it harder to shoot against Millsap, against Ibaka, against Yes, against Rondo, against Milicic than against Yes against Baugh? !

He is an elegant and easy-going person. He usually does not curse people, but now he really wants to yell at the whole world, you are all trash, the undercover agents around Bruce Bow!

Of course, no matter how angry he is now, Popovich does not dare to really shout out like this.

only

Popovich, who was already angry and wanted to trade the entire Spurs team, saw Ginobili, who was playing with the team's substitutes and the SuperSonics substitutes on the court, and the SuperSonics substitute guard James Harden suddenly looked like each other in the midfield. When Popovich fell to the ground as if he had been shot, Popovich's originally dark face turned even darker.

This guy? !

What a talent!

Ginobili, who was in surprise, suddenly felt something tangible piercing his back and suddenly felt a chill.
