Chapter 165 169: Determination

169: Determination

"It seems that Popovich is going to end the game today!" Qin Tao smiled lightly, the disdain between his brows was obvious, obviously he was very unhappy with Popovich's contempt.

Brown-Shaw has never understood why Qin Tao can sit very calmly off the court when the situation is critical on the court. On the contrary, sometimes when the Lakers have some advantages, he will stand anxiously on the sidelines to "supervise the battle".The current situation...is not good for the Lakers. "Qin, why are you not in a hurry? Can you really communicate with God?"

"God? Do you believe that lie to reporters? It seems that I can still write novels after I lose my job!" Qin Tao put down his left leg and raised his right leg. His Erlang leg has never stopped.

Brown-Xiao was speechless at Qin Tao's words, and sometimes he felt that his partner was really like a child who liked to take advantage of his mouth.

Popovich glanced at the visiting team's bench. He couldn't see Qin Tao's face, but he could clearly see Qin Tao's right leg dangling on top of his left leg, and suddenly the fire burned in his heart up.He didn't know what was going on, but when he saw Qin Tao acting like a fool, he became angry, maybe this was the legendary horoscope. 'This kid actually dared to underestimate me. Could it be that he is very sure of winning today's game?No one in the league dares to say that he won [-]% against me, so why should this kid? The more Popovich thought about it, the more angry he stood up from the coach's bench and came to the sidelines to signal the Spurs' players to be more defensive.

In the arrangement before the game, Popovich once said with a gloomy face: "In the game, our first element is to limit the opponent's counterattack, and the second element is to limit the opponent's counterattack. If we can't grab rebounds in the backcourt, and Foul me directly when I can't keep up with them. Disrupt their rhythm, and they will be confused after a few fouls. At that time, they will definitely fall into the situation where Kobe Bryant and Chris Webber take turns holding the ball. That’s the kind of time when Kobe or Webber is singles with the ball, that’s when we open the score in one fell swoop and secure the victory.”

Popovich made the players foul, but Qin Tao had already expected his move. Before the game, he asked the players to make as many fake moves as possible.Although this is the opponent's home court, if the Spurs players foul attitude is too bad, it will also make the referee annoyed.Besides, the Spurs are ratings killers. Stern has a fish in his throat, and the referee will not help the Spurs much even at home.

"The situation in this game is a bit weird now!" The commentator was also very helpless with the attitude of the players of the two teams to win the game at all costs.This is the Western Conference finals, a key battle that determines who can advance to the finals, and no one can perform on the court!Besides, the Spurs have never been a pretty team.

"The Spurs' counterattack against the Lakers is a bit of a two-pronged approach. As long as the Lakers' counterattack momentum comes together, they will foul, and this attack is also relatively ruthless! Generally, thugs can clearly see five handprints on the hands of Lakers players. But the Lakers are not vegetarian either. Their flopping performance during the breakthrough also has a touch of movie star demeanor, and it seems inevitable that Hollywood is in Los Angeles!"

"Although players from both teams are playing tricks, judging from the current situation, the Lakers still have the advantage. Judging from the score, they also lead by 4 points."

"According to the time, this is also the Lakers' convulsion time! After the convulsion time is over, there will be a lot of talk! In terms of toughness, the Utah Jazz is probably the only one in the league that can compare with San Antonio in toughness! But let's talk about the Lakers. This convulsion time is really strange..."

The two commentators chatted about the Lakers' convulsion time, but the fans at the scene booed with black whistle.Because just now Chris Webber received a pass from Kobe on the inside of the top of the arc. At this time, the top of the arc led to the basket without a defensive player. After receiving the ball, Weber strode towards the basket.At this time, Brewer Bowen abandoned Kobe and rushed to the basket. He just stood still before the reasonable collision zone and then killed Webb. Webb knocked down Bowen without accident, and the ball was naturally caught Webb dunks in.The referee called Bowen a blocking foul, which was no big deal.This kind of fouling is inherently relative, and danger and risk coexist. This time the referee may call Bowen a foul, and the next time it may call Weber a dribble and hit someone?
But the fans are not happy!Because Bowen has already had a foul before, if the Spurs lack Bowen on the court, their defense against Kobe will be very difficult. The shouts of "Black Whistle!" came from the stands of the AT&T Center to the referee in a very neat manner. The referee was obviously used to this kind of situation and didn't care at all to signal the game to continue.

Qin Tao said to Du Peng who was standing beside him: "The fans in San Antonio are really suitable to form a choir! Well! It seems that the American Airlines Arena in Dallas is like this. The dialect of the Texans is like singing. They shout They seem to have such a tacit understanding and order, so let’s just form a group and sing together.”

"Brother Tao, I really don't know if they are suitable for chorus singing. I do know that if you were born a hundred and eighty years earlier, you must be suitable for storytelling in taverns and tea shops. You must be popular. You can talk too much, and The brain is also turning very fast, and the level of storytelling is top-notch! Maybe it can leave a book like "Liao Zhai" for future generations!" Du Peng said with a serious face, and said very seriously.

"Get out!" Qin Tao said this very seriously.

The two didn't chat anymore and focused on the game. Chris Webber made two free throws and the Lakers extended their lead to 6 points.However, after playing this game for 5 minutes, the two teams scored 10 and 16 points respectively, which is too low.Of course, this is also thanks to the people of San Antonio!The Lakers' several counterattacks were strangled in the cradle by them. Fortunately, the Lakers have an advantage in speed, so they can barely get a 6 lead.

The current situation is that the Lakers play and the Spurs smash!The two teams cooperated seamlessly!In the end, the Spurs were a little timid about fouls, and the Lakers' performance addiction came to delay their fighters.Although both teams showed their desire for victory and determination to win the game, neither of them could completely open the score. At the end of the first quarter, the Lakers led 26 to 21 by 5 points.

Brown-Shaw always thought that if Qin Tao went to study psychology, he must be a postdoctoral figure. This kid is too good at grasping the psychology of players.A few words not only eliminated the impatience accumulated by the players during the game, but also kept the morale of the team at the original high level, even reaching a higher level than before.

At the end of the first quarter, Qin Tao didn't arrange tactics, he just danced and danced, and with a look of righteous indignation, the players who were preparing to play in the second quarter were gearing up for the game to start immediately.And his performance can also make the starters who are about to rest calm down, and maintain a high enthusiasm to play a good role as soon as they go on the court.Sometimes to lead a team, not only must the tactics be arranged comprehensively, but also the players' psychology must be calmed down, otherwise the players' tactical execution is not strong enough or they will not be able to play.That's why Trish Winter, the inventor of the triangle offense, can only serve as an assistant to Zen master Phil Jackson, and he will be a lifetime.It's not that as long as you have more tactics in your mind, you can be a good head coach. There will be some difficult problems in the team all the time, and the head coach has to deal with these problems.In other words, the head coach is the psychiatrist and nanny of the players.Therefore, not everyone can be a head coach, and not everyone can be a good one.In Brown Shaw's mind, Qin Tao is a natural head coach, and he feels that the current Lakers can't do without him.

Qin Tao danced and danced here to inspire the players' fighting spirit and maintain their confidence, while Popovich on the other side yelled at the players.His spraying like this can also make the players have a long memory and improve the execution of tactics, but his approach will definitely not last for a long time.Maybe Qin Tao can adapt to most players in the league, but Popovich is only suitable to coach a small number of players in the league.With Popovich's coaching method, meeting someone as unruly as Iverson can make him burn out.Therefore, his coaching method and personality also determine the character of the Spurs. The stability of the Spurs is desperate, but their chances of being able to explode their potential in a desperate situation are much smaller than the Lakers. This is a problem of emotional stimulation, and the Spurs do not have it. such a prerequisite.

In the first quarter of the game, Brewer Bowen had to leave the field early because he received two fouls too early, which somewhat disrupted Popovich's arrangement.Kobe and Butler seized the opportunity of Bowen's absence to score points in the first quarter. Although they only kept the lead at 5 points, it also interrupted Popovich's formation.He had to run Barry in the first quarter, and he had to play Bowen with the bench.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Lakers aggressively attacked the Spurs inside. Bowen is obviously a type of defensive strong and weak offensive. The Lakers are very relieved of him.On offense, the Lakers' offense is initiated from the inside, and Odom's misalignment with Walton after the pick-and-roll will give Odom the opportunity to single-play Bowen, so that Bowen has changed from a strong point. became a weakness.

Odom scored consecutively after the start of the second quarter. Qin Tao made this very clear before the game, and repeatedly told him that Odom played very smoothly when he came up.Facing opponents who are bigger than himself, Bowen's defense seems stretched.In addition, as a substitute, the Spurs' internal strength is still far behind that of the Lakers, so Bowen's weakness is infinitely magnified.

Although in the 3rd minute of the second quarter, Bowen made Odom hit someone with the ball, but this did not weaken Odom's determination to eat him alone.In the 4th minute of the second quarter, Odom completed a three-pointer. Bowen committed three fouls and had to sit on the bench again.And Popovich, who is bound to win this game, is even more angry. Since Bowen's weakness has been caught by the Lakers, he should simply replace the main lineup and use the overall defense to limit the Lakers.The defensive strategy that Popovich pursues is to force opponents to rely on superstar individual singles. At worst, let Bowen not restrict Kobe, let him pass the dangerous period, and let the rest of the Lakers be restricted. How big a wave can a person turn over?
