Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 258 The lake collapses three times, trust your players!

After the Los Angeles Lakers changed teams, the Spurs' 2-point advantage was exhausted in just 10 minutes. Even before halftime, Seth Curry's three-pointer allowed the Lakers to complete the reversal of the Spurs!

In this short 2 minutes, all the Spurs fans in the audience saw how terrifying the Lakers' attack power is!
In 2 minutes, playing against the Spurs, the Spurs are still almost all the main force, the Spurs are excellent in offense and defense and have no shortcomings, just played such a big explosion that crushed the game!

At the end of halftime, Popovich was directly beaten and looked stupid!
Even a head coach of Popovich's level has never seen such a basketball, or even thought about such a basketball!
Therefore, after halftime, when Popovich led the Spurs players into the tunnel, the look on Popovich's face was still the expression of shock and trance, and the look of shock in trance.

As for the surrounding Spurs players, the expressions on their faces were equally incredible.

In this game, the head of the Spurs, Leonard, scored 30 points in the first half and performed extremely well, and the head of the Spurs, Duncan, also scored in double figures in the first half.

The performance of the Spurs in this game is not bad.

65 points at halftime, this is already very good for the Spurs.

Before the Lakers broke out, Seth Curry made so many fairy shots in the first quarter. At that time, the Lakers scored only 55 points. After the Lakers felt normal, they scored 10 points in 23 minutes before the second quarter broke out.

The Spurs in the second quarter said that they were both offensive and defensive, and there was nothing wrong with them.

This is how the Spurs were beaten 2-11 in just 0 minutes. How can this not be shocking?

What is even more shocking is that in these 2 minutes, the Lakers did not rely on their luck and touch to achieve such a climax.

The Lakers' crushing game in these 2 minutes was the climax of relying on their defense!

Yes, the whole world thought Coach D played offense in Coach D's Wu Xiaojiafuke basketball, but unexpectedly, Coach D played defense!
This is shocking.

And that's the real reason Popovich and the Spurs have the look on their faces.

If it's just a fairy ball, at the level of Popovich and Duncan, they don't care at all.

There is always an end to the touch and the magic ball. The Lakers have none of the four major guards. It is impossible for the magic ball to continue.

"Wu Xiaojiafake's basketball offense is already very good, and now the defense is so good, how can the opponent play?"

In front of the TV, Popovich's old master Larry Brown stared at the TV dumbfounded.

This season, Coach D is playing Fark basketball for the Lakers. Larry Brown feels that Coach D's Fark basketball has his shadow in the 76ers. Seth Curry is crazy about attacking, attacking casually, and attacking as he wants.

As long as the opponent can't score normally, and as long as Iverson or Seth Curry on his side can score normally, no matter how inefficient they are, they can win with low scores.

Iverson's breakthrough and Seth Curry's ultra-long three-pointer are theoretically undefendable offensive methods, so even if the efficiency is very low, they can always score.

So, it's not that he puts gold on his face, but that Coach D's Falk basketball is really very similar in concept to the basketball he played with the 76ers.

This also makes him very proud recently. Recently, when he participated in many NCAA academic coach gatherings, Larry Brown also said this, and he was also recognized by many peers.

In these seminars, Coach D naturally received the highest evaluation, bringing forth new ideas and even changing the way basketball is played.

And as a reference for Coach D, he naturally received a lot of high praise.

When people are old, Li doesn't care anymore. Isn't it just the things in the name that he cares about?
But now, Larry Brown realizes how superficial he is!

According to what he said in these seminars, coach D borrowed more than 50% from him, or even 80%, just changed the skin, but the inside is exactly the same.

And actually?
After coach D's Fake basketball came up with five small packages in this game, the core of coach D's style of play has completely changed!

His 76ers back then relied entirely on Iverson for offense, and other 76ers players could not integrate with Iverson.

As for this five-legged Falke basketball, Seth Curry is still the main attacker, but other Lakers players can integrate with Curry. It is not an individual offense, but a team offense!

The 76ers are an individual offense, while the Lakers are a team offense with Seth Curry as the core. In this regard, there is a world of difference!

The horror of the Lakers' offense is unimaginable. The Spurs were smashed in 2 minutes, and they exploded!
On defense, the thinking of the two teams is also completely different.

His 76ers back then were based on the defensive system of a big center with Mutombo as the core, which was a personal system of defense.

The Lakers' five small defenses still rely on team defense. The entire Lakers have no defensive core. It should be said that except for Seth Curry, the other four can become the defensive core. They are fast, rotate fast, and have strong defensive aggression. What stands out is a team!
Therefore, after seeing this incredible basketball for the first time, his big disciple Popovich was stunned.

Faced with such a basketball and style of play, it is actually normal to be beaten up. Larry Brown even felt that his big disciple was really unlucky.

Any head coach, whether it’s him or Nelson or the Cardinal, Mayfair Jackson, will be stunned when he first encounters coach D’s seemingly selfish Fake basketball, which is actually the team’s Fake basketball, which looks like offense but is actually defense.

"Bobo, you will stand up again, you will definitely find a way to deal with it!"

Larry Brown prayed silently in his heart at this time.

Halftime is over.

The third quarter begins.

On the Lakers side, Seth Curry, McAway, Wade, Ebanks and Antetokounmpo are still the five small Falk basketball!
Seeing the Lakers come up with such a lineup as soon as the third quarter came up, Kerr in front of the TV was shocked.

It’s not just Popovich who is looking forward to seeing more Wu Xiao + Fark basketball games, but many basketball experts and coaches like Cole in front of the TV are looking forward to it, hoping to study the key to breaking the game.

In the NBA, it is said that no tactical system can be invincible for two seasons.

If your team has been invincible for more than two seasons, it is definitely not because of the cowhide of the tactical system, but because of other reasons.

After Popovich took out the full-level UCLA air-cut system and was broken by Coach D, everyone took this sentence as a standard.

There are too many professionals in the NBA, and there are also NCAA coaches who pay attention to the NBA. Although the NCAA academic coaches don’t look at them, the masters rarely set foot in the NBA, but many NBA team coaches are inextricably linked with these masters.

Therefore, an invincible tactic is being cracked by the most energetic group of coaches in the world at the same time, so it will last for a long time.

Even UCLA has been claiming to be invincible for so many years. In fact, the great credit for invincibility is that no one can really play it out for so many years. Only Popovich can play it out. After that, it didn't take a season for him to be cracked by Coach D in just a few games.

"Mike, what are you thinking?"

In Los Angeles, D'Antoni, the new head coach of the Rockets this season, shook his head when he heard the words of general manager McHale next to him.

It might feel incredible to say it.

Coach D came up with this Wu Xiao + Fake basketball that shocked the entire NBA and the basketball world. He felt that he seemed to have a solution!
McHale naturally didn't know what D'Antoni was thinking at this time.

McHale, like most of the audience, was deeply shocked by the basketball played by the Lakers in the last 2 minutes of the second quarter.

This season, the Lakers lost five leading players.

Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Yao Ming and Roy were either making movies or recovering from injuries, while Oden went to the Cavaliers.

The three rookies of the new team, Jokic is a parallel importer, Dinwiddie and Kyle Anderson don't have much playing time, and their contribution to the Lakers is almost zero.

The Lakers actually rely on the leftovers of the Lakers last season plus Wade, Garnett, Pierce, and Barkley, the four veterans that no one wants.

With such a lineup last season, Nash is hard to find a win.

And Coach D hasn't lost yet.

The gap in strength is too obvious.

Last season, that bastard Morey dared to say that even if Coach D was released, the Rockets could beat the Lakers to advance.

What a face!
So, now there is no place to go, no team wants it, right?
Even his natal Celtics, because of the arrival of Paul and James and the formation of the Big Five, no longer need his magic ball to return.

Things like magic balls are already stink on the street, and it is really impossible for the star players of the Celtics to accept this kind of thing.

Even the Rockets, who didn't play magic ball this season, invited D'Antoni to play running and bombing instead.

And Coach D, the head coach who played center tactics last season, is even more crazily playing French basketball this season!

D'Antoni's running and bombing tactic, which was known as the most slanted forward, was like a primary school student who slanted forward in front of Coach D's Falk basketball!
After being cleaned up by Coach D in the playoffs last season, the Rockets were actually very at a loss. They felt that the future was bleak, and the team had no prospects at all.

Look now, even Popovich and the Spurs, isn't it the same?
A smile spread across McHale's face.

Rockets, there is still hope!

on the field.

When the Spurs players returned to the court again, the expressions on their faces were no longer so confused and shocked.

In short, normalcy is back.

In the last 2 minutes of the second quarter, the mentality of the Spurs players collapsed. In fact, it was mainly because they had never seen this kind of basketball.

After the halftime break, under Popovich's psychological massage, the psychological construction of the Spurs players was considered complete.

"The essence of basketball is control. If you control the tempo, you can control everything. If you control the basketball, you can control the tempo. We are the best rebounding team in the entire NBA!"

"As long as you expose Coach D's bells and whistles and return to the essence of basketball, the Spurs can't lose to this Lakers!"

Popovich is one of the most prestigious head coaches in the NBA.

In the Spurs, Popovich's words are the same as Coach D's in the Lakers, with absolute trust.

Spurs players trust Popovich's judgment.

Popovich also believes in his own judgment. This is his basketball philosophy for so many years. How could he doubt his own basketball philosophy?

Back then, the Suns, the most menacing challenger he faced when he coached, won by relying on rhythm!
The sun back then also played fast and fiercely, but what was the final result?
Wasn't he charged to death by the Spurs!
Coach D's Fake basketball plus five juniors, the defense is indeed stronger, but the Spurs are now as strong as they were back then, not at 01:30.

At the beginning of the second half of the game, Antetokounmpo served to McAway from the baseline.

On the sidelines, Popovich stood on the sidelines at the beginning of the third quarter, and then began to shout into the court.

"Careful, careful, normal, we can beat the Lakers!"

At the beginning of the third quarter, Popovich stood on the edge of the court and shouted loudly, which was very rare in the past.

It should be said that many Spurs fans at the scene have never even seen it.

It can be seen how great the pressure the Lakers put on the Spurs in the last 2 minutes of the second quarter!

The Spurs players on the field all tensed up as soon as the second half started.

This is also very rare in the regular season.

Only in the playoffs, even in the playoffs where life and death are at stake, will players show such an attitude and state.

"The Spurs all tightened up after halftime!"

"In a regular season game that needs to be tightened up suddenly, the Spurs can be so tight, this is a real super strong team, a competitive team!"

Facing the Spurs who suddenly tightened up and showed a very strong game state, the commentary on the scene and many experts in front of the TV were all full of praise.

"Pressing defense is a good medicine to solve all tactical systems. There is no problem with Popovich's choice!"

The Spurs' starters in the second half were Duncan, Leonard, Danny Green, Dellavedova, and Ginobili. Although Popovich was still unwilling to give up his inside advantage, he also removed an inside organizer and used an outside organizer like Ginobili.

This is to increase the speed of offense and defense. It is expected that the inside will have advantages and the outside will not have too many disadvantages.

Then use this mobility to press the whole court, and then explore the reality of the Lakers.

I have to say that Popovich's choice is indeed a very sophisticated choice, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Faced with such unknowns, Popovich has done a very good job.

but!

Du Kang smiled.

"It's useless!"

Facing Danny Green's pressing defense, McAway didn't like fighting at all, and handed the ball directly.

And the target of McAway's handover is not Wade and Seth Curry, who are both defenders.

It was Antetokounmpo who was defended by Duncan!
After receiving a pass from McAway, Antetokounmpo faced Duncan's defense, pulled the ball with a step back and then quickly broke through to the right, directly smearing Duncan!
A 2 meter player, dribbles and breaks like a defender!

And still so decisive!
Duncan was taken aback.

He was actually ready to move laterally, but he didn't even move laterally, and Antetokounmpo wiped him.

"The Spurs' defense is too aggressive, it's dangerous!"

A full-court press defense like this works well most of the time.

The only time it doesn't work is when one of your players is suddenly breached!

Duncan was broken through, this is the last line of defense for the Spurs!
Antetokounmpo rushed from the middle circle to the basket in just four steps, and then jumped high, completing a powerful one-handed dunk!

Clang!
68 is better than 65!

In the second half, the Lakers relied on Antetokounmpo's one-stop breakthrough to get the first two points of the second half.

The arena, which was full of boos, became silent again at this time.

After such a moment, O'Neill in the TNT commentary seat widened his eyes and sighed.

O'Neill admired almost subconsciously.

"too strong!"

After O'Neill finished admiring, Kenny Smith next to him was also shocked.

"If all five players of a team have strong ability to hold the ball, dominate the ball, and press the whole court, it is suicide!!!"

"It's unimaginable that Antetokounmpo not only has the ability to control the ball and defend, but even has such a strong ability to break through with the ball!!!"

"Aside from shooting, Antetokounmpo looks like a star under coach D!!!"

"Coach D's Falk basketball plus five primary school, this is the scariest!"

Antetokounmpo has such an excellent ability to break through with the ball, the most shocking must be Popovich.

Popovich kept Duncan on the floor because he felt Antetokounmpo couldn't punish Duncan who pressed him one-on-one on offense.

Lucky Giannis, the most loyal and honest player in the NBA, looks so ordinary.

but!

Antetokounmpo's decisive breakthrough made Popovich's head buzzing, and it also made the Spurs fans on the scene collapse.

Next it was the Spurs' turn to attack.

Facing coach D and the wonderful basketball like D'Antoni before, the best way is of course to slow down the tempo and let the inside attack.

In this regard, the Spurs are very good and experienced.

The Spurs attacked, and Duncan singled inside.

Like the last 2 minutes of the second quarter, when Duncan gets the ball, McAway or Wade will let go of his defensive players to pinch.

To get around this, Popovich and the Spurs apparently had an arrangement at halftime.

This time the Spurs are no longer passing from the outside. The Lakers' rotation is too fast, and such passing is useless.

Therefore, when McAway chose to recover and flank Duncan, Leonard quickly pulled to the bottom three-point line, while Ginobili followed McAway to the basket to kill!

McAway attacked, and Duncan immediately hit the basketball in Ginobili's hands.

At this time, Ginobili, who has already charged up, can go straight up with one more step!

It was too late for McAway to turn around and return to defense.

And Antetokounmpo has been locked by Duncan!

Ginobili doesn't seem to have any defensive threats. This time, the Spurs are finally going to break the scoring panic!

However, almost at the moment Ginobili was about to start, it was McAway's action that shocked people!
He didn't run to Ginobili to help defend Ginobili, he didn't turn sideways, but directly followed the bottom line, and ran quickly to the bottom line on the left!

Seeing McAway running away suddenly in front of him, Ginobili was dumbfounded.

That direction should be where Leonard is, right?

In exchange for not defending myself, and defending Leonard at a distance, is it sick? !

However, almost at the same time, the Spurs fans at the scene suddenly exclaimed, startling Ginobili who was already in the air!
Then, Ginobili, who reached out for a layup, was dumbfounded!
shadow!

A huge shadow, like a big roc, enveloped him tightly!
Clap!
Ginobili almost watched helplessly as the basketball in his hand was slapped violently by a big hand!

The basketball didn't fly out of the baseline, but directly slapped Antetokounmpo's hands!
Ebanks!

Looking at the players flying past him after completing the block, Ginobili finally knew why McAway didn't take advantage of the trend to help defend himself, but chose to run towards Leonard!
This is to prevent myself from discovering that Ebanks passed the ball to Leonard!
My goodness! ! !

Ginobili felt as if he was stupid!
And the Spurs fans at the scene also felt as if they were stupid!
After the block was completed, Antetokounmpo grabbed the backcourt rebound, and without any hesitation, he threw the basketball in his hand to the frontcourt!

The four players outside the front three-point line at this time are Wade, Danny Green, Seth Curry and Dellavedova.

The four rushed towards the Spurs' half almost at the same time!

However, in just that moment, a figure rushed out from among the four of them, like lightning!
"Flash, Wade!!!!"

In the Penguin live broadcast room, Kefan trembled with excitement!
And at the scene, in the AT&T Arena, the Spurs fans at this time, watching Wade rushing out, were all praying!

"Big pass, Antetokounmpo made a big pass!!!!"

This is the excited cry of the Spurs DJ on site.

It seems that it is really passed on!
However, Wade, who rushed through the middle circle, suddenly accelerated with a big stride, and Wade actually got the ball!

and!

After Wade got the ball and his attack speed dropped, because of the distance, Danny Green still couldn't catch up!

In the end, Wade started with a three-step layup, and Danny Green could only jump up behind him!
Wade in the air turned around and clasped his hands behind his back!
Danny Green in the air can only watch Wade complete this incredible fast break!
Clang!
Looking at Wade hanging on the rim, the Spurs fans at the scene, and Popovich on the sidelines, they were all dumbfounded again at this time.

And the DJ of the Spurs team who shouted loudly just now, his eyes widened at this time, and he couldn't say a word.

"My God!!! Antetokounmpo can pass the ball to Wade like James!!!"

"Antetokounmpo can not only break through like James, but also pass the ball like James!!!!"

"It's unbelievable!!! The Lakers' defensive counterattack fast break, it's unbelievable!!!"

Unbelievable!

incredible!

That's how Popovich feels right now.

Antetokounmpo was the target he expected to hit in the third quarter.

But now, the most incredible performance in the third quarter is Antetokounmpo!

Break through, pass, without any dead ends!
This is the tall and thin version of LeBron James! ! !

70 is better than 65!

Wade gave Antetokounmpo a thumbs up.

This pass, at that moment, really reminded him of someone.

"LeBron..."

There was a sweet smile on Wade's face.

And in front of the TV, seeing such a smile on Wade's face, James gritted his teeth.

"why!"

"Why does this rubbish always emit a light that does not belong to them when it is in the hands of Coach D!!!"

James is really puzzled now!
Antetokounmpo!

Plus Seth Curry.

These two guys, before the draft, were really trash that no one wanted!

But now?
They actually became part of Coach D's world-shaking Falk basketball! ! !

After the last 2 minutes of the second quarter, the Spurs fans at the scene actually hoped that the Spurs could play their own rhythm in the third quarter.

The Spurs did not let them down, they did not collapse, and they were indeed working hard to find a chance to win.

but!

"The more intense the Spurs' resistance, the more exciting the Lakers' offense will be!"

"The Spurs didn't accept their fate, and the Spurs are still trying to find their inside advantage!"

"However, their inside line is really too slow!!!"

"Beautiful one-stop breakthrough! It's a slam dunk by Ebanks!!!"

"Antetokounmpo went to the basket again, Antetokounmpo didn't dunk, Antetokounmpo chose to pass the ball!!!! Oh my God!!! Seth Curry!!! Bang!!!! Three points!!!!"

"Incredible Fark Basketball! Unbelievable Five Minor Basketball! The San Antonio Spurs are now on the brink of death!!!!"

In the third quarter, if the Spurs choose to tighten the fence, resign themselves to their fate, and stop trying to find the Lakers' flaws with drastic methods, in fact, the Spurs will not collapse so badly.

However, in this game, coach D came up with the tactical system of Farke basketball + five small teams.

Basketball experts all over the United States are watching at this time. As one of the most prestigious head coaches in the United States, Popovich is the first coach to witness such a magical basketball. If he chooses to be discouraged, it will definitely deal a huge blow to his reputation!
Even if he loses this game, he must not give up under coach D's magic basketball!
However, Popovich never thought that the third quarter was not a loss, but a collapse!
Throughout the third quarter, the Spurs were beaten by the Lakers 33 to 16, losing 17 points in a single quarter! ! !
After three quarters, watching the five Lakers players sweating and smiling excitedly on the court, Ebanks, Antetokounmpo, McAway, Seth Curry and Wade, all the Spurs fans on the scene forgot to boo!

"After this game, the five of them will go down in basketball history!"

"After this game, no one will say that coach D led the team to start 11 consecutive victories because of Seth Curry's luck!"

"After this game, no one will say that the Lakers led by coach D this season are a team without a system!"

"The Lakers led by Coach D have a system, and it is the most incredible system in NBA history!!!!"

"Five Little + Falk Basketball! Oh my God, my heart is so surging right now!"

The crazy voice of O'Neill and Kenny Smith on the TV made Cole's scalp tingle.

The look on Cole's face at this moment was shocking.

"I should have thought a long time ago, how could Coach D bet everything on luck!"

"I should have thought about it a long time ago, how could Farke basketball not have a supporting package!"

"The support of Farke basketball is the fifth elementary school! The defense of the fifth elementary school is the foundation of Farke basketball!"

As long as Wu Xiao's defense is not broken, no matter how low Fake's basketball shooting rate is, he may not lose!

As long as Seth Curry's offensive threat remains undiminished, no matter how low Seth Curry's shooting percentage is, Wu Xiao's offense can make up for Seth Curry's low efficiency!

The loop is closed!
A virtuous cycle!

Benign closed loop!

"How could there be such a powerful head coach in this world!"

"A group of leftovers like the Lakers can make him a team that looks very invincible!"

In the last 2 minutes of the second quarter and the Lakers' random kills in the third quarter really shocked many people.

At this time, every audience watched the Lakers with an invincible filter.

But very quickly, in the fourth quarter, the style of the game suddenly changed.

In the third quarter, the five and four players of the Lakers played too hard, and the consumption was a bit high. In the fourth quarter, these five players couldn't get started.

With the loss of three serious guards, plus the two defensive front lines of Ebanks and Antetokounmpo, the Lakers have problems both offensively and defensively.

Pierce and Garnett are really good.

But Dinwiddie and Kyle Anderson, who couldn't stand outside, were really a bit stuck.

In fact, the most important thing is that Spurs guard Patty Mills exploded. He scored 15 points in a single quarter in the fourth quarter and made 4 of 4 three-pointers. This is a fairy!

The Lakers' 18-point lead was wiped out in an instant.

Aunt Jenny, who had already started to celebrate the victory, looked dumbfounded.

In the first few minutes of the fourth quarter, Aunt Jenny was already celebrating the victory, crazy boobs!

Fortunately, the team suddenly exploded!
With 30 seconds left in the game, the score on the court was 118 to 117, and the Lakers' lead was only 1 point left.

However, the ball is in the hands of the Spurs!
The Spurs handed the ball to Leonard for a single at the last moment.

Facing Antetokounmpo again, this time Leonard did not use his rhythm to sway the opportunity.

"The Spurs are in danger!"

"The ball is going to die!"

However, almost when the Spurs fans were desperate, Leonard still pulled up!

Turn around!

Lean back!

Shot!

Some cards, but very Jordan!

A swipe!
Hit the shot!

With 8 seconds left at the end of the game, Leonard made a mid-range shot and led the Spurs to overtake the score!

Fairy Ball!
Proper fairy ball!

"Unbelievable mid-range shot! This is Leonard's score in this game, a career-high [-] points, the first [-] points of his career!!!"

crazy!

The entire AT&T Arena is in a frenzy!
And Aunt Jenny is stupid!
When had she seen such a scene!

Even many famous marshals have never seen such a scene!

Aunt Jenny is stupid!

However, almost at that moment, Aunt Jenny woke up again!
"By the way, I still have a note!!!"

And at this moment, the commentary seat has gone crazy.

"Is Jenny Buss going to call a timeout for the final attack?!"

"My goodness!!!"

"Jenny Buss didn't call a timeout, she actually opened the kit again and took out another note!"

"I absolutely can't believe Coach D even anticipated this situation!!!"

And almost at the same time!

O'Neill is stupid!

Jenny Buss didn't call a timeout!
Jenny Buss finished reading the note, took the note, and walked forward!

Believe in your players!

"No pause, attack!"

on the field!
Lakers players quickly serve the baseline ball!
Wade, Ebanks, McAway, Seth Curry are all running!

Last second!
The ball came to Seth Curry again!
Three steps outside the three-point line, Leonard is ahead!

Seth Curry, throw it!
Leonard felt that he was fast enough!

Facing a fast break like the Lakers, he is already alert enough!
However, it's still a little slow!
Just a little bit!
The ball just passed through his fingertips!

Looking at the basketball thrown by Seth Curry, the whole world was silent at this moment!
Jenny Buss has even squatted!

Squatting next to him is Popovich!
at this time!

The whole world is tense!
Camera!
Only Coach D is smiling!
"how can that be!!!"

Coach D really predicted another game? !

O'Neill absolutely does not believe it!

however!
A swipe!
121 is better than 119!

Three point hit!

Lore!

Aunt Jenny was excited, cried, and stood up with a roar!

And Popovich next to him, the Spurs players on the court, and the Spurs fans on the sidelines were all stupid.

Lakers, pull out the thorns!
