against the front

Chapter 202

With the whistle of the referee on duty, Yan Hua was very easily on Tim Duncan's head, and turned the basketball to the king's half court, winning the ball for the first offense for himself. After the serious injury, Tim Duncan has changed from a flying devil to a floor-flowing old man, and now that he is getting older, it is naturally impossible for an old man in his 3s to beat a young and strong Yan Hua. Jump people.

After the opening jump ball ended, the game between the Kings and the Spurs officially kicked off. As a rookie in the coaching world, although after the baptism of last season's playoffs, Reggie Toyce's coaching level , there has been a qualitative improvement, and he has become a favorite for the best coach of the season, but facing an old fox like Gregg Popovich, Reggie Troyes will inevitably be at a disadvantage, even It is within the other party's calculations.

So after the game against the Mavericks, Reggie Toyce and assistant coach Tyrone Corbin have been watching the video of the Spurs' recent games. Find the Spurs' flaws, and make targeted arrangements by the way.

The Spurs' starting lineup today has not changed much compared to the past. It is still center Tim Duncan, power forward Antonio McDyess, small forward Richard Jefferson, and shooting guard George Hickory. Hall, point guard Tony Parker, such a lineup that looks quite satisfactory.

The king's starting lineup today seems to be very targeted. Since they just finished playing the Mavericks yesterday, in today's game, Reggie Troyes rested Kevin Martin again, and Put John Salmons on the bench, send Tony Allen, Jrue Holiday, Danny Green, such an outside combination, and prepare to use Tony Allen and Tony Parker Tony Tony, Danny Green went to tough Richard Jefferson to minimize the threat of the Spurs' outside offense.

In terms of the interior, Serge Ibaka is still partnering with Yan Hua today. Although Serge Ibaka still has various shortcomings, he relies on tenacious defense, running and running without hesitation. Assisting in defense, doing all the dirty work without any complaints, has made Serge Ibaka the king's main player since entering the NBA. From the beginning of the new season to the current more than 50 games, Serge Ibaka also started all games.

The Spurs with Tim Duncan and the Kings with Yanhua are both teams that focus on slow-paced positional warfare. Therefore, in the game between the Spurs and the Kings, there is basically no one who disrupts the rhythm of the other, and who drags the other into the game. To solve this problem in the rhythm that one is good at, the comparison between the two sides is who is more stable and who can better control the rhythm and opportunities.

Because Tim Duncan's lower body strength and core strength are very good, it is difficult for Yan Hua to get to the deep position easily when Tim Duncan is facing up. Therefore, in this attack after the opening, Yan Hua Hua did not go to fight with Tim Duncan, but chose to attack the frame.

After receiving a pass from Tony Allen, Yan Hua quickly lowered his body's center of gravity, and made a posture to break through the baseline. After Tim Duncan was unmoved, Yan Hua directly faked The movement became a real breakthrough, and rushed to the bottom line close to Tim Duncan. After holding the ball and breaking into the low position, Yan Hua quickly stopped, pulled up his body, and used fake moves to shake off Tim Duncan's interference, and then The shot was made.

"I think back then, it was really not easy for David!" Although Tim Duncan didn't express anything or show any expression after Yan Hua made a shot, but in Tim Duncan's heart, he was already muttering. up.

When Tim Duncan entered the league, Hakeem Olajuwon was already on the verge of retiring, so Tim Duncan has always felt a little regretful about not being able to match Olajuwon in his prime. After all, the real strong always hope to face stronger challenges.

As for the series in which David Robinson was blown up by Olajuwon, Tim Duncan also watched it in the video. When Tim Duncan watched the video, he could feel that he wanted to play one-on-one. Defending Olajuwon is definitely a very difficult thing, so Tim Duncan doesn't think there is anything difficult to say about the fact that his big brother can't defend against Olajuwon. After all, when it comes to being a background board , Tim Duncan is much more than David Robinson.

Therefore, after the fantasy footsteps reappeared in the NBA, Tim Duncan has been looking forward to the game against the Kings, but when Tim Duncan faced Yan Hua, the weakened version of Olajuwon, Tim Duncan realized I finally realized how difficult it was for my big brother back then.

Offensive and defensive transition, Tim Duncan, who arrived in the frontcourt, also chose to attack face-to-face. The reason is similar to Yan Hua. Facing a defensive player with outstanding lower body strength and core strength, Tim Duncan, who is no longer at the peak, is It is very difficult to get to the deep position. As an insider, if you are not deep, it means that the offensive threat and lethality will drop sharply. In this case, you can only float outside to shoot, or squeeze in the face frame , and Tim Duncan, like Yan Hua, chose the latter.

On the right side of the free throw line, Tim Duncan, who received a pass from Tony Parker, shook Yan Hua with a fake move, and then began to break in close to Yan Hua, just like Yan Hua's kind of rushing to the bottom line and then The emergency stop attack method is completely different. After Tim Duncan took two steps in, he stopped, and then there was Tim Duncan's signature attack method, a 45-degree jumper.

Tim Duncan had nothing to do with Yan Hua's breakthrough, and Yan Hua could only look at the ball and sigh when he hit Tim Duncan's 45-degree jumper!

After Yan Hua and Tim Duncan showed their talents, the game went straight to the right track. Neither side made any attempts or reservations. The Spurs used constant rotation and running to tear The king's defense line was split, and the king's side was a simple and rude Yan Hua singles with the ball, double-teaming and passing the ball.

Tim Duncan, who was able to firmly suppress Yan Hua last season, and even ravage Yan Hua wantonly on both ends of the offense and defense, has been completely unable to restrain Yan Hua in this game, especially Yan Hua. Tim Duncan obviously couldn't keep up with Hua's weird footsteps on the offensive end.

"It seems that it is not easy to win this game!" Popovich, who was standing on the sidelines, shook helplessly as he watched Yan Hua pass Tim Duncan's defense and then hit a hook. Shake your head.
