Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 313 They are not only funny, but also powerful!
The Spurs' power forward Biyombo can run, jump and block shots. He is a famous help defense maniac in the NBA.

But Biyombo is only 2 meters tall and weighs 06 kilograms, which is lighter than Barkley, who is 110 meters tall.

Therefore, in this game, the Lakers did not attack Duncan at first, but chose Biyombo to attack.

Biyombo is very important in the Lakers' defense system.

His speed and defensive ability are important complements to make up for Duncan's current shortcomings.

It is precisely because of Biyombo that Duncan can always stay at the basket and become the Optimus Prime of the Spurs' defense.

At the same time, it can also allow the Spurs' defense to be connected inside and outside to form a whole.

It can be said that in the Spurs' defensive system, apart from Duncan, Biyombo is the key to the Spurs' defense.

If Biyombo becomes an ATM for Barkley and Garnett and is replaced by Popovich, then the Spurs' defense will never reach such a terrifying level, and other Lakers players will definitely not Restricted to death.

Therefore, Du Kang used Garnett and Barkley to attack Biyombo at the beginning of the game, and each scored one, which really panicked Spurs assistant coach Budenholzer on the sidelines.

He really didn't expect that Barkley and Garnett had such inside offensive capabilities!
Not only Budenholzer, but all the viewers watching this game found it unbelievable.

Although Biyombo is relatively thin, at 2 meters tall, Biyombo is definitely not a player without strength.

James claims to be 2 meters tall, but his weight is actually only five or six pounds heavier than Biyombo.

Of course, James' actual height is definitely not 2 meters, so he does look stronger than Biyombo, but it is also limited.

Therefore, Popovich never thought that Biyombo would be beaten like this by Garnett and Barkley.

Before this game started, only a madman would have thought that Garnett and Barkley could beat Biyombo like this!

However, such a thing really happened!
"Bobo, what should we do now?!"

"Don't worry, take a look first."

Popovich suppressed the shock in his heart and said with a frown.

It’s unclear whether Garnett and Barkley were just lucky.

It's just an attack, the possibility of luck is high.

On the court, the game continued with the Spurs attacking.

Finson advanced with the ball, and the slow pace was originally drowsy, but considering that the Spurs' opponent is the Lakers and Coach D, whether it is the Lakers fans at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, or the fans online , in fact, there is no such drowsy feeling.

O'Neal just shouted that maybe it wasn't Coach D who was really dreaming, but maybe it was the world that was dreaming. This made the audience in front of the TV curious. Are we really all wrong?

The Lakers didn't stand a chance in this series.

This series, the Spurs have advanced.

In this series, Popovich will beat Coach D.

In this series, a team with 73 wins and 9 losses will become the laughing stock of NBA history.

Could it be that all of this is just a dream in this world?

In fact, the stronger one is Coach D. Even if Coach D leads such a garbage team, can he defeat such a powerful Spurs?

They couldn't believe it, no one could believe it.

But at the beginning of this game, the Lakers were very strong!
Especially the strength of Barkley and Garnett really gives people a little hope and possibility.

The Spurs attacked. In the Spurs' first attack, the Spurs chose the team's outside core Leonard to attack. In the end, the Lakers' long-man lineup helped defend him and failed to hit.

But this time, Finson still hit the ball to Leonard.

This time Leonard did not attack directly. Instead, he received instructions from Duncan and cooperated with Duncan on a screen at the free throw line.

After Duncan helped Leonard block Pierce, Antetokounmpo quickly switched defenses in front of Leonard.

Antetokounmpo's defense changes are very decisive. Antetokounmpo's defense can be both inside and outside. When Duncan comes out, he will follow him out, not Garnett. This is the instruction given to him by the coach in this game.

Antetokounmpo was guarding Duncan on the outside just now. Now after switching to Leonard, he can immediately bend down, forcing Leonard to be unable to break through and can only take one step inside the three-point line with his left hand. The ball caught Antetokounmpo with his right shoulder.

Holding the ball with one hand in his left hand and leaning on the person with his right shoulder, Antetokounmpo moved to his left almost in an instant, and almost at the same time, Leonard changed his hand and broke through to the right, because Leonard's The explosive power is not that strong, coupled with Antetokounmpo's defensive response in time, Leonard's breakthrough was not successful.

After being blocked by Antetokounmpo, Leonard could only jump up, face Antetokounmpo's defense, lean back and forcefully throw the basketball in his hand.

"The Spurs' perimeter players used Duncan's screen to play misplaced offensive tactics, which was cracked by Coach D!"

"Coach D didn't play McAway in this game. He played Antetokounmpo, Ebanks, and Barkley. This is a great move!"

"Leonard, Finson, all the Spurs' perimeter players have a hard time getting a chance through Duncan's screen!"

On the offensive end, they focused on Biyombo, and on the defensive end, Antetokounmpo and Ebanks were asked to defend Duncan. After the game started, Coach D’s adjustment was really amazing. !
You can say that Antetokounmpo and Ebanks' offense is not that stable, but their defense is really good!
Duncan can defend, and so can Leonard!
"It's too difficult! Leonard's offense is too difficult!"

"Is Coach D really going to lead the Lakers to win this game?!"

After O'Neill shouted excitedly, the expression on his face instantly became a little embarrassed.

A swipe!
Leonard's almost incredible shot just now actually hit!

Not to mention O'Neal who was shocked, he couldn't believe that this shot could hit. Even Antetokounmpo looked at Leonard in shock.

Leonard has gained the reputation of a quasi-superstar or even a superstar this season, but was the shot just now something that an ordinary superstar could hit?

This is a ball that only Jordan and Kobe, stars of their level, can hit!

Antetokounmpo's block just now almost hit Leonard's face. In order to throw the ball, Leonard had already leaned back to the extreme. After throwing the ball, he fell directly backward to the ground!
But in the end, Leonard still hit the target!

Seeing Leonard being pulled up by his excited teammates on the court, Popovich on the sidelines was excited and excited.

The decision to trade Tony was very difficult, but...

This is the right decision!

Kawhi is still growing!
"The sky is the limit for him!"

No, not even the sky is the limit for him!
He doesn't even know where Kawhi's limit is!

Leonard's magic ball made the Staples Center roar with boos.

Listening to the crazy boos at the scene, Popovich looked proudly at Coach D not far away.

"Coach D, you didn't expect that if Wade doesn't play, the only player on both teams with hard-hitting ability is in the Spurs!"

When the Spurs beat the Lakers, why did Kobe always become the Spurs' nemesis?
It's because of Kobe's hard-hitting ability that he is the strongest among the two teams!
Every time Duncan and O'Neal meet, it's not easy for the two to perform. In this case, the pace of the game is not fast, and the defensive level of the two teams is extremely high. In such a pace of the game, there is a tough guy in the team. Kobe, who was extremely capable of analyzing, was almost a bug. There was no one on the Spurs who could match up with Kobe.

No matter how good Bowen and Jackson's defense is, Kobe can score, but the efficiency is not that high.

In a game like this, scoring is much more important than efficiency!
In the post-O'Neal era, the Spurs' perimeter defense has been getting better and better. Duncan is being restrained by Gasol, and Kobe is even more buggy. If Kobe wants to make a mid-range shot, he can do almost anything.

The current Leonard is the Kobe who played with the Spurs in the OK era.

Ebanks and Antetokounmpo's defense is indeed very good, just like Jackson and Bowen of the Spurs back then.

Just like Bowen and Jackson couldn't stop Kobe from scoring and could only make Kobe inefficient, now, Antetokounmpo and Jackson can't stop Kawhi from scoring either!

"Coach D, do you see clearly? You don't have any chance in this series!"

"You want to force me to let Tim fight under the basket. Now, do you think you have the ability?"

Leonard's growth helped Duncan solve many problems.

If it were in the past, Duncan would definitely have to go to the basket to solve it.

In this game, the Lakers had Barkley and Garnett under the basket, which was not easy to solve.

"So, Coach D, the pressure you put on me is not enough!"

I wonder if Garnett and Barkley relied on luck to beat Biyombo, so they want to force me to let Duncan fight in a physical fight?

"Coach D, you are really naive!"

Popovich said with a smile. On the court at this time, Garnett once again singled out Biyombo. This time Biyombo intentionally retreated slightly to defend Garnett's turn, but this time, Garnett was Turning outwards is not a breakthrough, but a throw!
"With a shot like Garnett's, in the regular season, his shooting rate was not even 20%!"

But this time, there was a swipe!
Garnett's turnaround jump shot hit!

"..."

Popovich opened his mouth wide on the sidelines.

This Garnett is a bit like the Garnett who played against them in the last game of the regular season.

Garnett, got lucky again?Popovich shook his head.

"No way, how can there be so much shitty luck! If a player can eat big dumplings once or twice in his career, it is already very good. It is impossible to eat them continuously!"

Thinking of this, Popovich stood on the sidelines and began to applaud Biyombo on the court.

"There is no problem with your defense. There is no problem in forcing Garnett to take more difficult shots!"

He was hit by his opponent in three consecutive attacks, which put Biyombo under great pressure.

So Biyombo was relieved to hear such applause and comfort from Popovich.

When the Spurs attack, Biyombo has no shooting ability, which allows the Lakers to let go, and Barkley and Garnett can all guard the basket.

Barkley guarded the basket, and Garnett helped defend in front.

Antetokounmpo, Pierce and Ebanks are on the outside.

A defensive lineup like the Lakers makes it very difficult for the Spurs' defensive offense.

Finson wanted to throw three-pointers countless times!
But, no!
The Spurs' defensive offense means abandoning all risky offensive behaviors on the offensive end. What is risky offense?It's an offense that has the potential to collapse a defense.

The three-pointer is the risky offensive method that Popovich hates the most and is most likely to collapse the defense.

This time the Spurs attacked, Leonard did not choose to make a strong shot.

It hit last time, but this time, the probability of hitting is very low!

Leonard finally chose to hand the basketball to Duncan.

This time, Duncan avoided Garnett's side and came to Barkley's side. Instead of going to the basket, he faced Barkley head-on and took a mid-range shot.

hit!

4 is better than 6!

Facing Barkley's defense, Duncan's 45-degree rebound hit was really simple and useful.

Barkley was already waiting to fight Duncan under the basket. Unexpectedly, Duncan would choose to shoot!

It can only be said that it is impossible to guard against.

Just like after Biyombo was shot by Garnett, Popovich applauded and encouraged Biyombo from the sidelines.

After Barkley was hit by Duncan, Du Kang also applauded on the sidelines.

"Charles, you did a great job, you forced Tim Duncan to not go to the basket and had to shoot! We can accept shots like Duncan's!"

Hearing Du Kang's shouting from the sidelines, Barkley on the court became more energetic. He didn't feel like a loser at all. He actually held his head high and looked at Duncan provocatively.

"Boy, your shot just now was good. I bet you won't hit it next time!"

Barkley's trash talk confused Duncan.

It was as if he was the one who lost in the last round.

On the sidelines, O'Neal and Kenny Smith, who were TNT commentators, were laughing so hard.

"Hahahaha, Charles is so embarrassing! Hahahaha, this is the most overestimating mantis I have ever seen!"

O'Neal's eloquence is quite good, especially when it comes to complaining about Barkley.

Therefore, the audience in front of the TV, listening to O'Neal's complaints about Barkley's overestimation, all smiled.

"So this is the number one power forward in the NBA back then. Is it so funny? Hahahaha..."

The number one power forward in the NBA back then was not only funny, but also very powerful!

The Lakers attacked, and this time Barkley actually pulled out.

And he gave Duncan a provocative look, which means, you kid, come out if you have the ability, let's challenge him.

But as the Spurs' defensive Optimus Prime, how could Duncan follow him out?

Following out was Danny Green.

Danny Green felt that it was enough for him to follow.

With Barkley's height and speed, there is no way he can pose any threat outside!
With Barkley at his peak, he was worried that Barkley would hit him from behind and push him forward.

Now that the old Barkley dares to play like this, just wait for him to steal the ball behind him!
Then, Danny Green was shocked!
Barkley backs up!
once!
twice!

three times!

Danny Green was stuck so hard that he almost fell down after being pushed. In the end, he could only forcefully go around from behind to steal the ball, but!
Barkley blocked Danny Green with his big butt, and he dribbled the ball inward!

Fortunately, the Lakers also have people who have been released. Biyombo released Antetokounmpo and has been preparing to help defend.

This time too.

only……

When Biyombo ran over, Barkley, who had been slowly breaking through, suddenly accelerated and directly wiped Biyombo past!
"Fuck!!!"

Many Chinese fans in the Penguin live broadcast room were stunned by Barkley's sudden acceleration!
Not only the fans, the audience, but also the Spurs players on the court were also stunned by Barkley's breakthrough!

No one thought that Barkley could suddenly accelerate like this!
Clang!
Barkley, who got to the basket, faced Duncan's defense and finally dunked the ball into the basket with both hands!

8 is better than 4!

The Lakers went [-]-for-[-] in the opening game!

Barkley and Garnett each scored four points!

This made the Lakers fans at the scene stunned for a moment before cheering crazily.

They really didn't expect the Lakers to play like this in this game!
Before the game, Coach D focused on training three veterans who were going to be laid to rest, making Coach D, the Lakers, and the three Lakers veterans the laughing stock.

I feel that in this series, Coach D brought these three veterans of the Lakers to make things funny.

Even as Lakers fans, they think Coach D and these three Lakers veterans are really funny.

Coach D dares to say it, and they really dare to believe it!

But now, the situation has become completely different!

"Not only are they funny, but they are also very powerful!"

Even O'Neal was exclaiming at this time.

Even though it was his old rival Barkley who was killing everyone on the court at this time, he exclaimed.

To kill through such a strong defense of the Spurs alone is a performance that can only be achieved by Barkley at his peak!
Although this kind of sudden attack can only be carried out once, and a second attack is impossible, such a scene and such an attack can be selected into the top ten and can be remembered by the fans!
"Popovich and the Spurs, who claim to have the strongest defense, were actually defeated by an old Barkley!"

"Oh my God! It's not very harmful, it's humiliating, it's extremely strong. Is this what Coach D is planning to do? He's going to use three veterans to penetrate Popovich's defense and defeat Popovich's strongest defensive coach. The title is no longer available?!"

Du Kang definitely didn't have such an idea, but there were too many conspirators.

And the key is, even Popovich himself thinks so.

Coach D is so insidious!

You actually fucked me like this!

If Coach D really uses these three veterans to break through his own defensive system, he really won't be able to survive.

But Popovich quickly calmed down.

"Coach D, this is the playoffs. Let me see how much physical strength you have!"

You guys, just have fun with the opening!
The further the game goes, the more painful it will be for you!
Ok?
Du Kang was stunned for a moment, Popovich!

Not only Du Kang was stunned, but also the audience at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were all stunned!
"Coach D, you still only have 60 points in this game!"

What the hell!

excited!

Popovich and Coach D used the bar! ! !
