The Spurs resorted to such a tactic, which not only made it difficult for the Kings to deal with it, but also made the secret agents of the Mavericks sitting on the sidelines feel terrified. They did not expect that the Spurs had not yet used any countermeasures until now, so they hurriedly used the tactics. All the attention is on Duncan and Robert Horry's cooperation and the Kings' response.

No one expected that the Spurs would play such a formation. Even Stephen and Bruce Bowen appearing on the court at the same time is not surprising, but Duncan and Robert Horry played together like this, playing high and low inside. Such a tactic is indeed surprising.

What is even more surprising is the reaction of the old Spurs fans. They were so excited that they even burst into tears. It has been many years since I have seen such a scene. In fact, "Admiral" David Robinson has only retired for two or three years, but for the fans To us, it seems like many years have passed.

At first, I thought it was impossible for the Spurs to have such a combination of the twin towers. I didn't expect Popovich to take it out at this time, and the effect was very good. Why don't these fans who are still nostalgic feel Excited.

The Spurs set up a double-tower formation on the inside, and Adelman had nothing to do. He had no choice but to stay the same. He just watched from the sidelines. He didn't have much power in his hands. Kenny Thomas If you go to defend Duncan, then Brad Miller will not get any advantage against Robert Horry, and if you use Kenny Thomas to defend Robert Horry, Brad Miller will have nothing to do with Duncan.

And Kenny Thomas is not saying that he can defend against either of them, he can only say that the defensive effect is better than the others, but he can't help the opponent's offense. Adelman can only hope that his side can occupy the offensive. Advantage.

Originally, the first offensive point of the Kings was Artest, but under the defense of Stephen, it was difficult for Artest to get comfortable shooting opportunities. Stephen focused on defending his breakthroughs and mid-range shots. For him on the three-point line There are no restrictions on outside shots, but Artest's three-point shooting rate is not stable. Driven by the lack of breakthroughs and mid-range shots, Artest's tactical value has greatly declined, so he has to act as a three-point shooter. exist.

And Wells was relatively quiet in the first few minutes of the game, but after two or three minutes, he seemed to have taken some medicine suddenly, and started his extremely strong performance recently, scoring three-pointers, Shots scored, breakthroughs scored, free throws scored, Meyer Finley's defense in front of him was like paper.

Stephen wanted to exchange defensive targets with Michael Finley, but Michael Finley didn't have the awareness in this regard, and Stephen couldn't take the initiative to propose it. Michael Finley was also known for his physical strength when he was young, but now he is older after all. , and met Wells who was in an explosive state again, it was a bit difficult to deal with it, but Michael Finley was very persistent and had been desperately defending.

Stephen hoped that coach Popovich would take the initiative to ask the two of them to exchange, but Popovich didn't know what the purpose was, and he never gave instructions. Stephen was also embarrassed to snatch Michael Finley's task, and Artest It is also because Stephen can find opportunities when he relaxes a little, so it is not easy for Stephen to help Michael Finley.

Stephen's defense against Artest was very successful, but Artest's defense against Stephen was not so successful. Coupled with the cooperation of the Spurs' inside twin towers, although Wells broke out, the Spurs were even worse in score. Not lagging behind, the two sides have always insisted on their respective offensive methods. By the end of the first quarter, the Spurs still led the Kings by two points.

Due to the absence of Muhammad and Nesterovich, in the second quarter, Popovich had no choice but to put on the inside cooperation between Oberto and Duncan, but let Robert Horry go down to rest. Horry was older and a little weaker.

The outside line is still Bruce Bowen, Ginobili and Van Exel, and the Kings also have a normal rotation, replacing Kevin Martin and Sharif Rahim. Si still stays on the court, he is the first scoring point of the Kings, and now the whole Kings team is playing around him.

This guy scored [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] steal in the first quarter, but he didn't have a single assist. When the ball came into his hands, it basically meant the end of the offense. He wouldn't pass the ball again. For someone else, unless he misses a shot and someone else gets a rebound, and he still goes on the offensive if he gets a rebound.

Popovich still didn't take other defensive measures against Wells, and let Bruce Bowen deal with him alone. From the previous few games, Bruce Bowen's defense against Wells was not good, but I don't know why, Popovich just doesn't use Stephen, who is more effective defensively, on the court.

This is what puzzles other people, including the live commentator Elliott and the ESPN TV commentators Hubie Brown, Almike and Mike Brin who broadcast the game, all questioning Popovich According to the tactics, Stephen is now in the starting lineup, but he has been on the bench in the past, and the bench lineup is more suitable for his performance, and Stephen has no physical problems, why insist on using Bruce Bowen at this time.

Stephen himself was a little puzzled, as if Popovich rarely let himself play with the substitute lineup as long as he put himself in the starting lineup, why is that?Stephen was very puzzled, and everyone naturally didn't know that Popovich deliberately let Ginobili take more shots in order to let Ginobili get back to his previous state, and if Stephen was on the bench, he would have the right to shoot It will be assigned to Stephen because of habit, and Bruce Bowen will not have this problem.

As for Wells' scoring, Popovich is not afraid. For a player like Wells, even if he gets [-] or [-] points, it will not benefit the Kings as a whole. He is not the leader of the team. As a star or core, his scoring cannot drive the team's offense, which determines that his scoring is not so harmful.

And as long as the Spurs do not fall behind, allowing him to score is a bad thing for the Spurs, because in this case, the other players of the Kings will not be able to feel the touch because they have no chance to make a shot, and they will wait until the final stage of the game. For Wells' defense, just let the other players of the Kings take shots.

The second quarter was still the game time for Wells. In this quarter, he scored 26 and [-] rebounds. In the first half alone, he had [-] points and [-] rebounds. It is much worse than the previous game, but the score has surpassed the previous game, and many team personnel have already focused their attention on this player with such obvious characteristics.

Although the general managers or head coaches of many teams know that Wells broke out in a contract year, the data is not accurate, but he can score so many points, which also proves that Wells does have this strength, then, Why not give him a contract.

Maybe after he gets a big contract, he will play better, maybe he will change to a new team and play harder, even if he has declined after getting the contract, as long as the decline is not too severe , Is it still acceptable? As long as you are careful when giving the contract, don't give it so big, maybe it's worth it.

Anyway, giving every player a contract is a kind of gamble, why not give it to a capable player, is it a waste of salary on those incompetent players, although they play very hard, but the game is more than just hard work.

In order to restrict some teams from not being aggressive and deliberately saving money, the league stipulates a minimum salary expenditure. For some teams, it is difficult to save salaries under the luxury tax, but for some players As far as the team is concerned, what they think is how to increase the salary expenditure above the limit and not exceed too much, so they like to give a medium-term contract of several million dollars.

Go to the free market to sign a relatively good player, so that the fans' confidence in the team will be improved, and the sales of tickets will be stimulated. That's enough. They have never coveted the championship. What they have to do It is to ensure the profit of the team. If it is impossible to make a profit, it is also an achievement to lose a little less.

To put it bluntly, this is where the flaws of the professional manager system lie. The owner of the team is not responsible for daily affairs. Like Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks, he puts all his energy on the team. There is no one else on the team except him, so in the Mavericks, the general manager is just a decoration. The old Nelson has already got into a lawsuit with Mark Cuban, and his son Nelson Jr. is still in the position of general manager.

Professional managers need to take certain responsibilities for the team, but not all responsibilities. Even if it is a loss, as long as it is within the allowable range of the boss, there is no problem, just like the general manager of the New York Knicks "Smiling Assassin" Isai Like Thomas, no matter how much you toss the team, how you play the role of being taken advantage of in the trade and free agent market, and how poor the record is, as long as the owner Dolan doesn't think there is a problem, then there is no problem.

Therefore, there is no way to give a free agent contract, even if it is a risk, so Wells' performance has successfully achieved his goal. Previous injury history, physical condition and other factors gave an estimated price of 500 million.

For players, as long as they are not the core of the team or the head of the star, few teams will offer more than [-] million contracts, single-core teams are fine, and dual-core teams like the Rockets, except for Yao Ming and McGrady In addition to the two, when the Rockets recruit free agents, they will only offer a contract of a few million dollars, and they cannot offer another contract of more than [-] million yuan to others.

The contracts of the middle class or above are generally given to the indispensable players in the team's main lineup, such as the main point guard and the main center. They are an important part of the team, but they are not the core players of the team. , is not the basis for the team to build around, these are middle-class players. Generally speaking, even for such players, a team only has two or three.
