NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 273 Excellent Team Leader

"Tim, are you sure if the whole court is facing that kid?" He asked.

Duncan thought for a while, and said seriously: "His defense is really strong. If this season's DPOY is not for him, I will not admit another one, even Ben Wallace.

If the whole court is matched, my offensive efficiency will definitely decrease.On the defensive end, I believe he can be limited to some extent.

However, his so-called Ba's alley-oop is very concealed and not easy to guard against.And many of the Suns' fast breaks are initiated by him, so he has more initiative than me. "

Popovich thought about Li Ba's stats in this game. There were five or six fast breaks and second offenses after rebounds and steals, accounting for half of his eleven shots. These offenses were indeed difficult to defend against. .

He said: "Putting you by his side, are you capable of restricting him with these attacks?"

Duncan thought about it carefully and said, "He initiated the two fast breaks after stealing me. I'm afraid it will be very difficult. The second attack is right under the basket. With his strength and bullet speed, Greg, you can also see When it comes time, he usually hits the rim after the defender is knocked out, and he has the best aerial confrontation ability and strength.

And his current speed, including turning, is no slower than mine. With strength, speed, and agility, his ability to hit the basket is very strong. "

"Then apart from these attacks, he only takes a few shots. Just for these few shots, if you put you next to him, the loss outweighs the gain." Popovich thought.

"I think it's best to cut him. We did a good job in G2, but this time we didn't cut him because we didn't double-team him, and his offense increased abruptly, opening up the defense. If the player attacks later, it will be too late for our people to attack him again, and maybe we have to accompany him with another foul.

As long as he gets under the basket, few people can stop him.And he and Marion's low-post cooperation is also good, we ate several in this game.So I think it is still necessary to double-team him. Single defense is not enough to limit him, even if it is a hacking tactic. "Duncan said.

Popovich nodded and said, "I'll think about it again."

"No one in the fifth position of the Spurs can limit the hammer. In G4, Duncan must take the initiative to change positions!"

After the game, TNT published an opinion piece.

Barkley expressed his personal opinion on this, he said: "I took the time to watch the game video, the Suns played very well, I hope the company sends me to explain their game.

For the game itself, I think the Spurs have failed in limiting the Hammers.Yes, the G2 game was very successful, but the G1 game and the G3 game were two complete losses.

The third quarter of the G3 game was good, but it wasn't representative.In fact, G3 played four quarters, and the rhythm of three quarters was under the control of the Suns.The Hammers took control of the game in his own way, and he persisted until the end. He was a successful and excellent team leader.

Duncan is also an excellent leader, but he does not have a matchup hammer. I think this is a wrong strategy. He should matchup and do what he should do as a leader of the Spurs, not just from a tactical point of view. The gains and losses of the hammer matchup.

Leader to leader, boss to boss, this is a matter of course. Duncan's avoidance of the hammer will make the Spurs inherently weaker in momentum.

We are very clear, where does the Sun win in the G1 game and the G3 game?Winning in momentum, the momentum of the Suns overwhelmed the Spurs, which directly seriously affected the players' psychology and performance, which was fatal.And this is the most direct result of Duncan not matching up with the hammer.

Therefore, here I need to advise Popovich and Duncan that you should consider the matchup with the Hammer from a strategic point of view, not from a tactical point of view. Duncan's data has never been the most critical point for the Spurs to win. "

"Damn it, it was indeed my mistake."

In the hotel, Popovich looked at Barkley who was being interviewed on TV, slapped his thigh hard, and murmured: "Momentum?"

In an instant, he heard the shocking "killing horse" sound of the American West Arena, which made him feel a little terrified at home.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and he went to open the door, and Duncan was outside.

"Did you see it?" he asked.

"Yes, Greg, I think we ignored this problem." Duncan came in and said.

"Yes, this is my problem. I only focus on tactics, not from a strategic perspective." Popovich said.

When the two were talking, Sun Headquarters, Colangelo was on the phone.

"Charles, don't our suns be good at you? Are you going to send a move to the Spurs? I can understand it if you say it as a TNT commentator, but I can't accept it as an individual." He was a little angry typical.

"Oh, sorry, Jerry, I didn't control my mouth, damn it, I want to apologize to you..." Buckley on the other end hurriedly said.

He also wants the Suns to retire his jersey in the future, which is also an honor for him without a ring, and he doesn't want to offend the Suns management.

"Damn it, you're causing us big trouble!" Colangelo sighed.

This afternoon, Jessica Alba came to Phoenix.

In the evening, Li Ba and Alba watched the G3 match between the Mosaic team and the Timberwolves.

This is the home court of the Mosaic team, and they pulled back a game.

大姚上场42分钟，13投9中，1罚0中，拿下18分10篮板2助攻1盖帽1失误4犯规。

"The hit rate is so high, you have to take 20 shots, right? That old cat made 20 shots, one less than you."

After watching the game, Li Ba muttered.

At noon the next day, Li Ba came to the team headquarters and participated in a meeting about the G4 game after training.Management also participated in this meeting.

He already knew the content of Barkley's interview, but he thought it was nothing, because there were too many people interviewed. Not only Barkley mentioned this issue, but Pat Riley also mentioned this issue.

As a more famous and outstanding coach than Popovich, Riley's words should obviously be more valued by Popovich than Barkley's words.

"Duncan will most likely play against the Hammer in the G4 battle. Of course, the Hammer's defense will reduce his offensive efficiency, but he will definitely limit the Hammer. This is how I think about it. The Hammer's offense can be given up and focus on Defensively, this would reduce Duncan's defensive energy and allow the Hammers to focus on what he does best."

Frank said.

"Hammer, if you have anything to say, just say it, I want you to know that you can do anything here." Colangelo laughed.

"Thank you, Jerry, I haven't forgotten what I am best at? I am well aware of the flaws in my scoring ability. Once the Spurs double-team and hack me, I will not be able to reach the basket smoothly. There will be many Mistakes and free throws. I don't want the team to get into the predicament of the G2 game, so Frank's tactical arrangement is the most reasonable, and I support him."

Li Ba laughed.

Colangelo and other management laughed, the former said with a smile: "Hammer, you are a real and excellent team leader. I am proud of the decision to choose you as the team leader."
