Chapter 186 Howard's Core Position
·
Wo Yao Huo Le
"Today's game was good, the two sides played inextricably at the beginning!"
"The San Antonio Spurs are worthy of being a veteran team in the league. Facing such a strong lineup of the Lakers, they can still play their own characteristics!"
In the Longguo Sports Studio, Zhang Lili said appreciatively.
"After all, the head coach of the Spurs is Popovich. As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand soldiers, but it is hard to find a good guy!"
"It is said that the Spurs have had so many years of glory because of Duncan. In my opinion, Popovich's contribution is not too much."
Yang Yi on the side agreed.
"That's right, Popovich's tactical system, coupled with the Spurs' strong lineup, is the biggest guarantee for them to remain among the top teams in the league!"
"This round of the Western Conference Finals series, it must not be so easy for the Lakers to advance to the Finals stage."
"The historical status of Kobe and Duncan may be revealed after this round of the series."
Zhang Reasonable's tone was full of anticipation.
He himself is looking forward to this round of the series.
While he was talking, Kobe was on the weak side with the ball and ate Danny Green one-on-one.
After a series of fake moves, he made a picturesque fadeaway jumper.
"Shh!"
The wonderful sound of netting sounded, and the Lakers added two more points.
At 15:14, halfway through the first quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers were temporarily behind by one point.
The game entered the first official timeout, and players from both sides returned to the sidelines to rest.
Spurs on the bench.
"Tim, next you will be responsible for defending Dwight, don't let him play so presumptuously inside."
Popovich exhorted Duncan.
To be honest, he didn't want to do this. After all, Duncan's age was there. Letting him defend Howard would inevitably consume more energy.
But this is also a helpless move. Splitter is completely free in front of Howard.
Once Howard is allowed to score at the basket at will, it is likely to drive other Lakers players.
So in any case, Howard must pinch this point.
Other than Duncan, there seemed to be no other candidates.
Duncan said it doesn't matter, he will do whatever Popovich asks him to do.
After so many years of cooperation, Popovich's status in his mind is no longer just a coach, but more like a father!
"Don't worry, leave that guy to me!"
Duncan agreed. Although his ability is no longer at its peak, he is also confident to limit Howard. After all, he has been selected for the defensive team many times.
Popovich nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "Kawhi, you need to be tougher on Qin's defense. You can use Death Coil to force him to attack by himself, and try not to let him link up with his teammates to score. Believe me, then If you continue to fight alone, the boy will hit the iron sooner or later."
Leonard responded very calmly: "Coach Popo, I see."
As we all know, this guy has facial paralysis, doesn't show much expression, and looks very calm about everything.
"Tony, you did a good job in the tandem work just now, but it is not enough to win the game. We must play a smoother and more efficient offense. You should know how to do it?"
In the end, Popovich turned his head to look at Parker. The cooperation between the two for many years has long been needless to say.
Parker smiled slightly and said, "I will never let you down, I will handle the offensive end."
On the other side, the Lakers are on the bench.
"I know the strength of the Spurs is very strong, but I didn't expect their tactical execution ability to reach this level. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire league will never find another team like this."
Kobe Bryant's face was serious. Through the first half of the first quarter, he felt the strength of the Spurs.
The Lakers actually played very well tonight, and their efficiency was extremely high, but now they are still behind by one point, which is somewhat unacceptable.
If it was the past, when the Lakers played such an efficient performance, they must be the leading side.
The mustache D'Antoni finally spoke, and he said: "In my opinion, we must raise the offensive rhythm!"
As soon as this remark came out, Qin Xiao was speechless.
As long as the team's situation on the court is not optimistic, Mustache can always think of speeding up the offensive rhythm.
It seems that this speed increase is omnipotent, as long as you run, the opponent can't prevent it...
It has to be said that Mustache understands the truth that 'the only thing in martial arts in the world is speed that cannot be broken'.
However, he is stubborn and never looks at the actual situation. As for the Lakers, how fast can they speed up?
At that time, it will turn into Qin Xiao rampaging alone, and the others can only stand and watch the play, without any sense of participation at all.
"That... I think we should still observe the Spurs' weaknesses on the court and continue to magnify their weaknesses."
Qin Xiao couldn't stand listening anymore, so he opened his mouth.
Kobe's eyes lit up: "I also have that intention."
Mustache looked at the two of them in embarrassment, but he didn't listen to his words at all!
As the head coach, he often has no substantive power over tactical arrangements.
Even if some tactics are arranged, there is a high probability that Qin Xiao and others will not listen.
Mustache won the title of the best coach this season, and that is only in vain.
Everyone knows that his title is completely for nothing.
If it wasn't for Qin Xiao's rise, let alone the best coach, he might have lost his job now.
So when Qin Xiao talked to Kobe, he didn't dare to beep.
Anyway, as long as the final result can win, then he will follow suit.
The most important thing is that losing the game has nothing to do with him, after all, it was Qin Xiao and Kobe's arrangement.
In terms of tactical attainments, the moustache may not be much, but if it is to talk about how to dawdle, then he is considered a master level.
"Qin, just speak out what you think."
Kobe said to Qin Xiao.
Qin Xiao didn't give a shit, and said immediately: "At present, the biggest advantage of our matchup on the court is Dwight. I think we should play more of this."
"Once the Spurs focus on him, we'll get more shots from the perimeter."
After listening to Qin Xiao's analysis, everyone thought it made sense.
The happiest thing is Howard, he has not experienced the feeling of being the core of tactics for a long time.
"Qin, you are right. That guy is not my opponent at all. As long as he hits the ball to me, I can score nine out of ten goals!"
Howard said confidently, patted his chest.
As the former No. [-] center in the league, this kind of confidence is still there.
Not to mention Splitter, even Jordan can't completely limit him.
Moments later, the timeout ends and the game continues.
The Lakers sent a sideline ball, and just as Howard was about to ask for the ball in the low post, he suddenly found that the man defending him turned out to be Tim Duncan.
Qin Xiao also noticed this, and he couldn't help frowning slightly, now it seems that he must make another plan!
