I'm Really Playing Basketball Chapter 696

Remember [New] for a second,! On June 12, 2012, the G2 of the Bobcats and Spurs finals continued to play at the Charlotte Bobcats Arena.

The San Antonio Spurs, who lost the previous game, changed their starting lineup in this game.

In addition to the center is still Duncan, the other four positions have become Kawhi Leonard, Prince, Ron Howard and Manu Ginobili.

This is a big-four-small lineup, and the Spurs' starting point guard Tony Parker sat on the bench this game because of his poor performance in the previous game.

In the last game, Parker scored 5 of 16 and only scored 11 points. It can be said that he was the worst player of the Spurs, and he didn't even need one.

Historically, Parker was a little embarrassed when he met the peak of Ross. The Ross who was not injured at the peak was indeed an opponent Parker did not like to fight.

Ross can keep up with Parker's speed and explosiveness. In front of Ross, the small sports car is not so easy to run.

And if Parker can't get rid of Rose and break through to the inside, other Bobcats players will help to defend, and Parker's ability to play the ball after double-teaming is very bad, which makes him unable to find teammates and can only attack. This is not Parker's strengths .

Historically, this year, the Thunder finally passed the Spurs and entered the finals, using Parker's ability to break double teams. The Spurs' offensive rhythm was interrupted, and after losing two games, the Spurs were eliminated in four consecutive games.

In this playoff loss, the Spurs and Pop did not think about improving Parker's ability to break double teams, but chose to change the team's offensive system again, which directly prompted Pop to blind the whole after the Spurs played. The NBA's pass, cut and run are almost invincible, and the Spurs, who lost their armor and disarmed the Heat's Big Three, appeared.

It has to be said that Pop also has a clear brain circuit. The average head coach, seeing his team's leading player with a flawed tactical core, will encourage his own stars to correct the flaws, such as the Mavericks and the driver, but Pop is completely wrong. On the contrary, if you think our stars are flawed, then I will not use my stars. In our team, everyone is a star now. I see how you find flaws.

Of course, Bobo's coquettish thinking and leading style also indirectly caused the problem that there was a perimeter supergiant Kawhi Leonard in the history of the Spurs who also didn't know how to play the ball after being double-teamed.

Because, in the Spurs, Pop would never give his star the opportunity to correct such a problem.

If you want to enhance the ability to break double teams, this requires a lot of ball possession, a lot of mistakes, and a lot of trial and error.

In the Spurs, no one will have such rights, so, you have such shortcomings do not need to improve, Bobo will help you cover it up.

Therefore, in the Spurs, outside superstars are not good at handling the ball after being double-teamed. This is a common problem. Parker and Leonard in history have it, and Rogo in this time and space actually has it.

Because there is Popo as the head coach in the Spurs, players can't get training in this area, and it is naturally difficult to change their shortcomings, and this is also the reason why the Spurs played hard in the last game.

The Bobcats' three perimeter players, Chen Xiao, Rose and Jimmy Butler, are extremely capable of one-on-one defense.

When the three players with extremely strong one-on-one defense are entangled with the opponent, as long as the opponent enters it, the other inside players will help a little to defend and pinch, and none of the Spurs players can move.

Parker, Ron Howard and Leonard did not have the explosive power to blast the Bobcats defensive players one-on-one. They finally forced their way to the basket. After being pinched, it was difficult to shoot the ball. Of course, they could only attack.

Ron Howard has a strong singles ability, and the hit rate of the storm is also good. The card version of Jordan is well-deserved, but Parker, it is difficult.

So, Parker's performance is very bad.

In the last game, in addition to getting rid of the pick-and-roll by Duncan and his inside teammates a few times, he made a shot, and most of the singles that did not use the pick-and-roll screen ended in failure.

Although the pick-and-roll is a regular tactic of all NBA teams, it is not always possible to play the pick-and-roll. Rose's pick-and-roll ability and Jimmy Butler's pick-and-roll ability are very strong.

Therefore, after playing g1, Popo could clearly see the problem of the Spurs and the Bobcats in g1, that is, the Spurs' starting lineup is not fast enough, so that Cousins and David West can help defense very calmly. Flanking Spurs perimeter players.

Therefore, in this game, Bobo went directly to the big and four small. This is actually to enhance the Spurs' offensive mobility and let the Bobcats' defense also run up.

The defense is running, and it is definitely not friendly to the insiders like Cousins and West. At least, it is not so easy for them to help defend.

That would give the other Spurs a chance.

Of course, despite the lack of help defense, the other Spurs players also had to play against the Bobcats one-on-one. Parker still suffered too much against Rose, so Popo used Ginobili, Ginobili's speed and The burst is not as good as Parker, but his rhythm is different from everyone's. At the same time, his passing ability, especially the threat pass, is stronger than Parker.

It can be seen that Bobo really wants to win this game.

In fact, this is also the case. The Spurs were a bit broken from the first quarter of the last game. In the first quarter of this game, they played quite well.

The most outstanding is Ginobili, who replaced Parker's starter. In the first quarter, Ginobili scored 5 of 7 in a single quarter and scored 14 points in a single quarter.

Why Manu Ginobili was so good for the Spurs in the first quarter?

Because he is the only player who can break the Bobcats' single defense. In fact, with this lineup of the Bobcats, Ginobili only needs to break Rose's single defense, and Cousins and David West are defeated by Duncan and Spurs. After containment, it is very difficult to help defend in place.

Therefore, as long as Manu Ginobili beat Rose's single defense with his own weird rhythm and breakthrough, it would be an empty space.

I have to say that players like Ginobili are really easy to use in the NBA. His distinctive style and rhythm always make people very helpless.

Of course, except for Ginobili, it is very difficult for other Spurs players to break through the Bobcats' one-on-one defense.

Therefore, although Manu Ginobili played very well in the first quarter, the Bobcats had a 4-point lead at home 32-28 in the first quarter.

Among them, Chen Xiao performed the best. Under Luo Ge's defense, Chen Xiao also scored 5 of 7 in the first quarter and 2 of 2 three-pointers. He scored 12 points in a single quarter.

I have to say that Chen Xiao is indeed a point that the Spurs cannot solve. Ron Howard is too short, and Leonard and Prince are too thin. Although their defensive skills are very good, there are some physical flaws. For players like Chen Xiao or Durant, it's a point that can be used to fight to the death.

Relatively speaking, Xiao Zhan of the Cavaliers and Andre Iguodala of the Bucks are better players in defending Chen Xiao.

In addition, Rose, David West and Roy, who came on the bench, all scored 6 points.

Ross and Roy won't talk about it. The Spurs can't find a match for these two.

It is worth mentioning that David West became the key to this game. Under the circumstance that Cousins was completely crushed by Duncan, David West used this small lineup of the Spurs and played very well. shooting performance.

In the first quarter, he made 3 of 3 shots, and the Spurs and Bobo were very helpless.

In the end is to continue to use a small lineup?

Small lineups can certainly improve the Spurs' speed and offense, but defending David West at this point would be a big problem.

This is also a kind of gain and loss.

In the second quarter of the game, Tony Parker, who was sitting on the bench, brought the Spurs' bench lineup. He played very strongly against the Bobcats. Basically, no one of the Bobcats' rotation players can match him. Curry, Roy, Boss Key, Kemba Walker, basically can't match him.

In the face of such a top All-Star player who has been holding back for so long, it is natural to explode.

So in the second quarter of the rotation, the Bobcats backup lineup brought by Roy was almost destroyed by the Spurs backup brought by Parker.

After the second quarter, the Bobcats lost 22-27 by 5 points in a single quarter. After the first half, the Bobcats at home were actually 1 point behind 54-55.

In the third quarter, the Spurs still used Ginobili to frantically attack the Bobcats' defense.

At the same time, Duncan continued his punches and kicks against Cousins in this quarter.

The Bobcats and Spurs had a very good third quarter, going 32-37 in a single quarter.

The Bobcats are in front and the Spurs are behind.

The Spurs relied on Duncan's 5-of-7, 8-of-10 free throws for 18 points in the third quarter, and Manu Ginobili's 4-of-5 for 9 points, scoring 37 points in a single quarter.

After the Spurs reduced the lineup in this game, Cousins of the Bobcats was definitely the most stressed player.

Because his teammates were pulled away, he was less protected, and he was basically facing Duncan alone in this game.

For Cousins, the pressure is indeed enormous.

Just like when Chris Bosh was beaten by Duncan, Cousins was definitely beaten by Duncan in this game.

In the first half, Cousins was actually suppressed very strongly.

However, in the first half, Duncan was more of a cover for Ginobili's offense, not the main attack, but the auxiliary.

But in the second half, in the third quarter, Duncan obviously became the main attack.

Obviously, at halftime, Duncan had completely figured out the situation of Cousins. At the same time, Popovich also took the initiative to let Duncan attack Cousins more.

This made Cousins 4 fouls in the third quarter in a single quarter. You read it right, four fouls!

And it was a very short period of time to send 4 fouls.

In the third quarter, the Bobcats fouled 12 times in a single quarter, of which 9 were by the center, including 4 by Cousins, 3 by Lopez and 2 by Roy Hibbert.

You can imagine a team with three centers facing the opponent's center, taking turns to play, and being fouled by the opponent's center during a quarter. What kind of picture this is.

It's not that Jordan didn't make substitutions and didn't know how to protect Cousins, but he couldn't do anything. After losing the help of his teammates, the Bobcats' three young centers couldn't play Duncan one-on-one.

You get on, I get on, I get on you, and it's all fouling.

Therefore, with Duncan's strong performance, the Bobcats lost 5 points after a single quarter. After the third quarter, the score on the field had become 92 to 86, and the Spurs' lead had been extended to 6 points.

It looks like the Spurs have a chance to win this game.

After all, the lead is not small.

but…

The Spurs are not without crisis, first of all, Duncan played too crazy in the third quarter.

For a veteran like Duncan, the third quarter was too aggressive.

At the same time, Duncan still has such a strong strength, but directly exposed the Spurs' trump card, but also terrified Jordan. In the fourth quarter, Jordan must change the Bobcats' defensive strategy.

In fact it is.

In the fourth quarter, Chen Xiao stayed on the court as soon as he came up, which directly suppressed the Spurs' rotation.

And when Duncan came up, Jordan once again played the Cavaliers very effective Roy Hibbert and big Lopez double center contraction formation.

Don't give Duncan the opportunity to face his young center one-on-one at all, and give the Spurs the opportunity to shoot 3s from the perimeter.

Seeing Jordan's strategy, Pop on the sidelines was helpless. It wasn't just Jordan's adjustment speed that made him feel helpless. After several seasons of his coaching career, Jordan's ability has improved visibly to the naked eye. It was Jordan's strength, and now it's even stronger.

At the same time, the Spurs made 2 of 9 three-pointers in a single quarter in the fourth quarter, which also made him very helpless.

It's not that the Spurs have no chance, there is a chance, but Leonard's 0-for-4 and Ginobili's 1-for-4 three-pointer has no way to make him really die.

The outside line could not be opened, and the inside Duncan did not have any chance. He made 0 of 3 single quarters and scored 0 points.

People let you go, but you can't make the shot, what can you say?

In the end, the Bobcats beat the Spurs 35-28 in the fourth quarter, winning the Spurs by 7 points in a single quarter, and finally reversed the Spurs 121-120.

This game is not a lore. In the fourth quarter of the rotation, the Bobcats overtook the score 106 to 101. The Spurs were chasing frantically, but they didn't catch up at the end. Don't look at the Spurs only losing by 1 point. Killing chance, in fact, the Spurs trailed by 4 points with 10 seconds left, but Roger hit the final buzzer three-pointer.

Of course, for the audience, the G2 between the Spurs and the Bobcats allowed them to see that the Spurs seemed to have a chance to defeat the Bobcats.

Just like the Bucks in the Eastern Conference finals, lose two games first, and then continue to pull back.

However, as the Spurs player and coach, such a game really makes them desperate.

They have played well.

Ginobili, the four key players in this game, scored 34 points. uukanshu.com Duncan scored 28 points, 17 rebounds, 11 assists and 5 blocks, Ron Howard also had 20 points, and Parker also scored 18 points.

Their performance has been very good, the Spurs' tactics have been fully played, but in the end they lost.

Such a loss is even more desperate than g1. After all, they did not play g1, and now they are playing and losing.

Therefore, just when many people thought that the Spurs had a chance, on June 15, g3, the Spurs who returned to the home did not win as many people imagined, but returned to the home 92-112, losing 20 points.

The big score also came to 0 to 3.

When everyone saw this big score, everyone knew what the final result was like.

"Let's witness Wonder Boy's sixth coronation as King!"

"The sixth coronation, the first dynasty, the next game, is a historic moment in the career of Wonder Boy, he will truly surpass Michael Jordan to become the first in history!"

Barkley was excited, Pippen was excited, and at this point, a lot of people were excited.
