Chapter 711 The Despair of the Spurs Brothers

In the second quarter, the Spurs took the lead.

The lineup was replaced by the Lakers in advance. Popovich has no choice, and the Spurs have no choice, but there is no need to change at the beginning, because whether the Lakers can play tactical restraint depends on the real execution effect of their team. , and this observation time is not long, the Spurs brothers pay attention to every detail on the field, paying special attention to Li Shengli's position.

At the same time, Li Shengli is also observing the Spurs brothers.

……

"Robinson is on the right side, and Duncan is on the left side!"

When the Spurs came, Li Shengli hung Robinson and saw that Duncan really went down to the left side of the penalty area, but in the process of setting up, Duncan took advantage of the situation and covered Sean Elliott in the high position with a pick-and-roll.

At this time, the offensive positioning is completed, with the Spurs brothers on the left and right sides, and the small forward Sean facing the basket.

The reverse is the Lakers' defensive formation.

Daben’s goal is Duncan, but after Duncan picks and rolls, he becomes a wrong defense. His only choice is to make up for Sean and let his teammates follow Duncan, but Li Shengli can’t move while guarding Robinson. The only thing he can move is the matchup. Kobe against Shawn.

However, considering the order of placement and the difference in offensive and defensive heights.

The moment Sean chose to split the ball to Duncan, all the handling was done by Duncan, and Duncan made a fake shot and clicked on Kobe who flew over, and he handled it perfectly in a short time. The only problem was that he was fouled by Kobe and the whistle blew. I didn't have time to fight 2+1 before.

……

"There was no force."

"Duncan pulled a teammate out, trying to get rid of Big Ben?!"

Li Shengli knew what the Spurs were thinking as soon as he saw this round.

In the round just now, the Lakers' interior defense was directly broken. Apart from Li Shengli and Daben, the Spurs brothers suffered from the height difference of the three guards, because no matter who the three guards joined in this partial 3v3 offense and defense, the Lakers There's always going to be a defender who's significantly shorter and better for the Spurs' shooting.

Even if the Spurs' offense is temporarily unsuccessful, the Lakers' three guards still give the Spurs a chance to try. Seeing that Duncan made 2 of 1 free throws, Li Shengli feels that this result is acceptable, because Duncan has made 2 of 1 in the first quarter so far. A total of 4 of 2 free throws.

For the Lakers...

With three guards on the field, it is more difficult to defend, but you can sell fouls to Duncan, because Duncan’s free throws are not a threat for the time being; Deman stabilized the situation.

What Li Shengli thinks about now is to attack.

……

Looking back, it was the Lakers' counterattack, and unlike the Spurs' delicate handling, Li Shengli and Daben's partner were obviously much simpler and rougher. Even though Daben's offense was weak, the threat of being an inside player at the basket was still great.

Because Li Shengli's single-defense deterrence in the penalty area is too great, it is not easy to play high and low positions, so they can only play left and right low positions.

Because the Lakers' effective killing area is limited to the basket, they can't play the left and right low positions that rely on mid-range shooting, but they can play high and low positions, which is exactly the opposite.

So, this time, Crotty passed a pass to Ben who cut into the basket, and Ben made a shot, locked Duncan's defensive position and pulled Robinson back, and the backhand passed back to the basket from the center line of the frontcourt Li Shengli under.

This is very simple!

With a bang, Li Shengli dunked the ball when he got the ball. It wasn't fancy at all. It was much crisper than the Spurs' offense. Popovich's Cole in the second quarter... the offense was basically disabled. The only meaning is to speed up and participate in quick return defense.

……

This is a section on efficiency.

After 3 minutes, the two sides changed again.

This time it was the Lakers who made the first moves and changed players, self-disbanded the three guards, and after taking down Crotty, the small forward let Barkley play to strengthen the inside defense, and the outside match was Kobe + Eddie.

The Spurs took the move and made substitutions... Because the three guards were disbanded, Cole was of little significance. After playing for 3 minutes, all 0 statistics were dropped, and Mario, the previous starting scorer, was replaced.

It is said to be a recruit, but it is not.

Because the Spurs couldn't handle the Lakers lineup, and the specific performance on the court was seen by everyone who followed this game...

Among the Spurs, Robinson sacrificed his close range and the basket to open the penalty area for Duncan, but when Duncan's turnaround jump shot efficiency declined, he directly chose to hit the basket. This is what Popovich expected to liberate Robinson way of attack.

However, the premise of attracting double-teams is... How did Duncan get to the basket with a big book?

Daben's single defense is already at the top level, and Duncan rarely finds opportunities, so the only way is to create dislocations through pick-and-rolls, but this is also problematic, because the entire process of executing the tactics is too long.

Duncan picks and rolls to the basket.

Sean holds the ball and looks for an opportunity to pass Duncan.

Then, Duncan went down to the basket to judge whether there was a double-team, whether he could make a shot, and whether he should choose to pass the ball to Robinson.

As the last link, Robinson can't get too close to Li Shengli to prevent the perverted Li Shengli from killing a carbine, so the shooting position should be in the middle and long distance to catch the ball.

The more steps, the higher the execution requirements, otherwise the turnover rate of transferring the ball would be enough for the Spurs to drink a pot, and superstars are valuable, to some extent, because they have the ability to play efficiently and powerfully, which is enough to simplify the tactical steps.

As for now, Sean in the first circle shot directly, and Duncan under the basket in the second circle held Daben and Li Shengli forcibly shot, but the problem is...the inside line of Li Shengli, Daben, and Barkley is basically a big gate. , Not to mention Sean, even Duncan is not strong enough to score like drinking water under this combination of defense.

On the other hand, the Lakers' tactical steps are much simpler and cruder.

The first set was Kobe and Eddie's double shot from the backcourt, Li Shengli, Daben, and Barkley, the three rebounders crazily grabbing rebounds.

The second set is Li Shengli and Da Ben playing high and low positions, and releasing Da Ben's offensiveness a little bit.

Furthermore, the third set is Barkley's ass pushing Sean madly, Li Shengli and Da Ben fix the position, and after the Spurs double-team, Barkley splits the ball. From top to bottom, the three play styles depend on the situation.

Even in terms of bench strength, the Spurs are at a disadvantage.

Kobe and Eddie are good at touch, and there are Nick and Fox behind them who can step up at any time.

Big Ben beat Duncan with all his strength, and he could still go to Rodman when he was tired; if Barkley was tired first, he could also go to Rodman. Although the above-mentioned third set of offense led by Barkley is gone, Rodman Mann is here, Li Shengli is also there, rebounding is like an unlimited buffet, and the first set of offensive ratio led by Kobe will directly increase, and it will be OK. Eddie, Nick, and Fox can all partner with Kobe.

The Lakers have many routes, but each route is more streamlined than the Spurs, and strive to prevent the increase in turnovers while ensuring offensive shots.

It's like... The outcome of the game may be the result of 1 details piled up, and the Lakers have already controlled most of them. The result is that the Lakers lead the Spurs by 5 points in the second quarter.
