Chapter 67 068: The Coaches' Confrontation

068: Head coach confrontation

"Bang... bang... bang..." The sound of muscle impact came from the arena.

In the first quarter between the Lakers and the Spurs, it was not the "French Trot" Parker who used his speed to drive a gorgeous offense, it was not the "Black Mamba" attacking the invading enemy with its super-toxic fangs, nor was it the Argentine "Demon Knife" who used his That snake-like breakthrough scored points for San Antonio.More than half of the first quarter went on, and more than half of the time was confronted by the insiders of the two teams.

Webber and Duncan had a fierce confrontation after the start of the game.No matter who gets the ball, they will always be defended like crazy.

On the Spurs' first possession, Duncan noticed a change in Webber.Weber's defense is tougher than before. It turns out that Weber's offense is extremely sharp, but his defense is very ordinary.But in this encounter, Weber's defense made Duncan feel terrified.In that attack, Duncan used his shoulder to hit again and again, but Webb pushed back again and again.Since he fell off the altar due to a knee injury and ushered in the spring again because he came to Los Angeles, Weber's defense has improved a lot, and his character has become more stubborn.In the end, Duncan had to hit the board at a 45-degree angle to end the attack.

Later on offense, Webb asked for the ball directly from the outside and found Duncan.He made an inside-to-inside pick-and-roll with Brown and made an easy layup.Only a big man with nimble feet like Webber can let another inside player pick and roll in the small space of the inside.

One is as cold as a stone, and the other is stubborn and wants to justify his name.Webber and Duncan started the confrontation in the first quarter.

Eight minutes into the game, both Webber and Duncan scored in double figures.Popovich, who was born in the military, seemed dissatisfied with Duncan's practice of holding the ball all the time. He stood on the sidelines and loudly reminded his disciples to cooperate and play team basketball.And Qin Tao, who came from China, has always paid attention to governance by doing nothing. Of course, it's not that he likes the golden mean advocated by Lao Tzu in ancient China, but because this kid thinks that it is unwise to interfere with players when they are not behind in the game.If it improves after my own reminders, it’s okay, but if it gets worse, who will be responsible?Therefore, when the team is not at a disadvantage, Qin Tao generally does not give any reminders.

After Popovich's size, the Spurs changed their style of play, and the ball began to move in the hands of various players.At this time, the fans at the scene were also awakened by the Spurs' sudden change of play just now. They were silent in the duel between Shifo and the King just now.

However, the wind direction of the game did not turn after the Spurs changed, and the score remained stalemate.Parker's throw after the breakthrough was directly fanned out of bounds by Weber.Butler's shot was also hit by the interference of Duncan who was defending.

"Just now I seem to have seen a confrontation between Qin Tao and Popovich." Barkley said with a smack.

Smith nodded and said, "It seems that Qin Tao is still following the style of the previous Zen masters, allowing the players to play freely. Popovich is still as meticulous as a soldier!"

'What is following a Zen master?Is it good for a fake monk to learn from our Lao Tzu? Qin Tao couldn't help criticizing in his heart after hearing Smith's explanation.

"Which of the two of them do you think won just now?" Barkley continued to ask.

Smith pondered for a while, and said: "It's hard to say which of them won. After changing the style of play, the Spurs didn't take advantage of it. Instead, the Lakers followed the Spurs' style of play and changed their rhythm. It should be said that this time the coach In the confrontation, the young commander Qin Tao has a slight advantage!"

Barkley said with a smile: "Hey! Kenny, let me say that Qin is capable!"

Smith ignored Barkley but sped up his speech and said, "This time Ginobili's breakthrough was blocked by Kobe, and his pass was blocked by Webber. Look, the Lakers' fast break..."

……

Webber, who broke out suddenly in this game, showed a defensive ability that he had never had before. This is not to say that his defensive skills have improved much, but that his concentration on the defensive end has changed a lot from before.

Standing beside Qin Tao, Du Peng saw that his idol first gave Parker a big hat, and then intercepted Ginobili's pass. Naturally, he was overwhelmed with emotion.Webber hasn't had a game since he arrived in Los Angeles that he's had in the Kings.This is not to say that his strength is not as good as back then, but that it is impossible for him to get the ball often in Los Angeles.

However, today, under Qin Tao's special arrangement, Wei Bo finally got the opportunity to show his strength. "Wow!" Du Peng yelled out while covering his mouth.Looking at Du Peng, and then looking back at the fans who stood up because of this fast break, Qin Tao sighed in his heart: "Actually, I am also one of them, but I have a responsibility on my shoulders."

Barkley opened his big mouth and shouted excitedly: "Wow... what did I see? Chris dribbled the ball across half court by himself, Bryant and Caron moved quickly on the sideline. Triangle, in the fast Attacking the Lakers can still show the shadow of the triangle."

Catering to Barkley's yelling, the three Lakers on the court staged a wonderful pass while moving forward quickly.

Webber dribbles past half court, and Kobe begins to move down the middle.With a wave of Weber's long arm, Duncan's center of gravity swayed, and then Weber exerted force on his wrist, and with a clever flick, the basketball came into Kobe's hands.Kobe, who received the ball before the three-second zone, didn't rush to dunk, and Ginobili was beside him, so he couldn't turn around calmly.At this time, Barkley quickly inserted from the bottom line, and Kobe withstood Ginobili's right hand and threw it behind him.Barkley's speed did not decrease but increased. When he took off, he copied the basketball, twisted his body in the air, faced the frame, and dunked.It's all done so casually.

A fast break launched by the three Lakers won the applause of more than 1 spectators at the scene.Such a smooth fast break cooperation, the fat man and Kobe had done it before under this sky, and now the fast break initiated by Chris Webber even surpassed the original one.The influence of that fat man in the hearts of Los Angeles fans has faded.

Compared to the Spurs, they simply cannot play such an offense.Even if it's a fast break, it won't be so gorgeous. The two words "gorgeous" never appear on Popovich's rigid face. All the gorgeousness is flashy in front of this old coach.A gorgeous fast break is not as easy as a layup, and their effects are the same.

The styles of Qin Tao and Popovich are very different again...Which one of them is the winner tonight?
