This is a successful meeting, this is a key meeting, in the history of the Spurs winning the championship, this is an extremely important meeting, after the meeting, the haze and problems within the Spurs were swept away, and the emotions of the players were cleared. It was relieved, and Popovich was very relieved to see the team returned to normal.

Taking advantage of the three-day rest period in the middle, Popovich began to step up his tactics against the Heat, and improved certain tactics against the Heat's style of play. Both the Mavericks and the Suns are teams that focus on outside offense. Moreover, the tactics of the two teams also lack changes, and the Spurs have an advantage at the tactical level.

But if you play against the Heat, you can't deal with it like this. First of all, the Heat are a team that pays equal attention to both inside and outside. On the one hand, the Heat are not lacking in changing tactics and execution. At the same time, the Heat have a group of smart players, which will make the tactics more powerful.

A high golf quotient is different from a high IQ. Many players with good physical fitness cannot play those complex and changeable tactics, so once they change coaches or teams, their performance plummets. At the time, they couldn’t even complete the tactical discussion with the coach. You can imagine what kind of performance they would have if they were allowed to play in a team like the Spurs. That's the reason why those guys who look very...extremely strong but lack some intelligence would rather choose those international players.

Relatively speaking, players who have played college basketball will be better in this regard, because high school basketball does not consider any tactical issues at all. Only after being educated in college basketball can a player appreciate the importance of team basketball and learn basketball systematically. theory.

The reason why the league blocked the entrance of high school students to join basketball after this year is that although there are star players such as Moses Malone, Garnett, Kobe, McGrady, and James among the high school players, the overall success rate is, Not too high.

This is how a lot of players with very good physical fitness enter the league, and then their performance is not satisfactory, and the NCAA is the foundation of a commercial league. If all the outstanding talents directly join the league, for the NCAA, It's not a good thing either. In this regard, the alliance has also been under considerable pressure, so it finally decided to re-block this door.

Whether you are obedient or not determines the lower limit of tactical execution effects, while IQ and golf quotient determine the upper limit of tactics. With the same tactics, the effects played by smart players are naturally different from those played by stupid players. There's no one with a stupid brain here, and the Heat are not bad either.

Although O'Neill is a fat man with a thick face and a simple and honest look, his IQ is said to be at the forefront of active players, and his ability to play is definitely not based solely on his body. The only thing that can be doubted, According to many insiders, O'Neal's ability in bed lacks persistence.

The rest of the Heat, including Gary Payton, Jason Williams, James Posey, Mourning, etc., are the kind of players who play very smartly. Playing with such a team, even if you have figured it out Their tactics, but also be careful about their ability to flash on the court.

So when the Spurs are all included, they watch the video of the Heat playing when they are not training, and then Carlesimo will stop or slow down the video from time to time, and then give them an analysis of the way the Heat play in each round. Some of them belong to tactics, and some belong to the cooperation between players.

Carlesimo is a very good assistant coach. He can analyze every coordination and every offensive transition on the field, including the subtle movements of the players. However, when he was the head coach, his results were not good. Not particularly good, but he was a powerful helper for Popovich in the Spurs.

After a lot of watching, everyone has a clear understanding of the strength of the Heat. Combined with their own feelings against the Heat, they can indeed feel the difference. At least as long as O’Neal appears on the court, it represents a huge threat. , which means that no one dares to underestimate the most destructive big man on the court.

When the Spurs face the Mavericks, they don't need to stay defensively in the low post. As long as Duncan stays on the court, he can defend the breakthrough players from the outside and at the same time guard Nowitzki. That's fine. , because the Mavericks except Nowitzki, other inside players basically have no low offensive ability.

Not to mention the Suns, they are not so much inside players, but big outside players, all five of them are. For these two teams, the Spurs have an advantage in the paint.

But if they are against the Heat, only O'Neal is alone, and the Spurs have to focus on it, not to mention there is Mourning. Before Mourning had kidney disease, he was a center player second only to the four major centers. Known as the last generation of super centers in the United States, although after receiving a kidney transplant, his athletic ability has declined, especially his scoring ability has gradually deteriorated, but he is still a first-class inside player.

Losing the inside advantage is equivalent to losing the pole on the court, losing the protection of rebounds, and the inside has no barrier, allowing people to enter at will. The Spurs have always used the inside advantage to suppress others. Now it is possible To face the opponent's oppression.

Both Duncan and O'Neal are great inside players, but they are of different types. Of course, O'Neal has nothing to do with Duncan, but Duncan has nothing to do with O'Neal, and if Duncan is allowed to limit O'Neal with all his strength, the effect will not be too good. , and wasted Duncan's other abilities.

So, facing O'Neal, Duncan's best strategy is that you hit yours, I hit mine, and no one cares about who else, but in this way, the defensive pressure falls on other inside players, including Nestero Vic, Mohamed, and Oberto have all received such tasks in training.

As soon as he heard that he was going to fight O'Neal, Nesterovic immediately had a bitter expression on his face. When O'Neal was in the West, he often made Nesterovic distressed when he was in the matchup. It was not easy for this guy to go to the East. Strovic still felt a little more relaxed. He didn't expect that in the finals, he would still have to fight against this bloodthirsty shark.

But Popovich made up his mind, use the three of them to fight against the opponent's two major centers, the consumption will consume you all, and Popovich still has a hand, although the shark-killing tactic was invented by the old Nelson , but it has been carried forward in the hands of Popovich.

Even against the Heat, the Spurs still have a personnel advantage. Apart from O'Neal and Mourning, the Heat have only one Haslem who can be used, and the Spurs also have Duncan and Robert Horry. So many insiders are used at critical times.

An inside player is no better than an outside player. Now a big muscle that is slightly similar and can stand up to others. The stick costs 200 million a year. It costs Popovich a lot of money to raise these insiders. Now is the time to use it. It was originally intended to deal with the Pistons' double Wallace combination, but it can be used now.

As for the outside line, the only point guard that is worrying is Van Exel. He came off the bench to face Gary Payton. Although both sides are young players, they both hugged their thighs to win the championship, but one of them hugged O'Neal. One hugs Duncan, but the name of "Crazy Fan" is incomparable with the famous "Glove" Gary Payton.

Although he is three years younger than others, even if he is good at attacking and defending is what he is famous for, he is still incomparable with others. Whether it is attacking or defending, and the experience and experience of the competition, it is really not enough, so I have to Let Tony Parker play a little more time.

As for Wade, this is the most headache for Popovich. The players on the back line of the team are either tall or lack strength. Relatively speaking, Stephen is better, with enough strength and more than enough, The speed may be slightly insufficient, but the difference is not big, and the height is better than others. Stephen's height has stabilized to 1.9 meters nine, and there has been no change in half a season.

Then Antoine Walker can only be dealt with by Michael Finley or Bruce Bowen. Although both of them are a bit weak, there is no way to do it. Every position cannot be dominant, except for the inside group. With the Heat's inside group, it can't be a disadvantage. The outcome of this series depends on how well one's side restricts Wade, and how one's own side's outside offense plays.

These are all unknowns before the start of the game. Thanks to getting out of the division finals a day earlier, the Spurs are more prepared than the Heat. At the same time, the Spurs are also resting better, but this is only a slight advantage. , On the supreme stage of the finals, under the double stimulation of huge psychological pressure and desire to win, these advantages are negligible. How the game will develop, Popovich has no psychological certainty.

Just like the sixth game between the Heat and the Pistons, the Pistons were obviously deceived by Pat Riley's feint, otherwise the Heat would not have won so easily, so I have to be more vigilant, lest It was calculated by Pat Riley. Thinking of this, Popovich decided to use everyone's wisdom to solve this problem. Popovich immediately decided to hold a coaching staff meeting to study how to deal with the first game.

The two-three-two competition system of the finals, the team with the dominant record will play two home games before and after, and the other side will play three home games in the middle. In this season, players will be less busy and can contribute more to the fans. Wonderful game, because the Spurs have a record advantage, so the first two games were played at the Spurs' home court.
