against the front

Chapter 203 Who else is there

"Greg, do you want to double-team?" Seeing Yan Hua scoring consecutive singles under the defense of Tim Duncan, Mike Budenholzer, the chief assistant coach of the Spurs, became a little impatient and started Ask Popovich next to him if he wants to change his defensive strategy against Yan Hua and double-team him.

The Spurs, who have always regarded team basketball as the core of their tactics, are not afraid of those teams that also play team basketball, play tactics with the Spurs, and play strategies, but the Spurs are very afraid of those stars who are extremely capable in singles and like X**D.

Now Yan Hua is a player with strong singles ability. In one-on-one defense, Tim Duncan has no way to restrain Yan Hua, so Mike Budenholzer asked Popovich It is suggested that Antonio McDyess cooperate with Tim Duncan to double-team Yan Hua.

"Just wait." Although the old Tim Duncan can't keep up with Yan Hua's footsteps, in Popovich's view, under Tim Duncan's defense, every time Yan Hua Attacking is not so easy, this kind of brainless singles consumes a lot of energy, and Popovich also wants to see if Yan Hua's physical strength can support him to continue such brainless singles, or his physical strength can support it. How long has he played brainless singles.

"Yan Hua scored again. It looks like a one-on-one defense. No one in this league can restrain Yan Hua. Only his physical strength and his own state can prevent him."

When Yan Hua once again got rid of Tim Duncan's defensive shot through continuous footsteps, before the start of the game, he still hoped that Tim Duncan could teach Yan Hua a lesson and create a good foundation for Yan Hua's growth. Kenny Smith, who had a little obstacle, also began to shake his head.

Yan Hua's improvement speed and rising momentum this season are too fast. After defeating Dwight Howard twice, Yan Hua has become the recognized No.1 in the center position. Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan, who are known as Yan Hua's nemesis, have no way to restrain Yan Hua in this season's game. The older generation of players is no longer at their peak, and the new generation of players is no longer able to restrain Yan Hua. In the case of a serious outage, Kenny Smith couldn't think of anyone who could threaten Yan Hua's status from now on.

Dwight Howard?If Dwight Howard's offense has not been improved, then he still has no power to fight back against Yan Hua, let alone compete with Yan Hua for the position of the first center.

Greg Oden?This player, who was called the strongest center in the next ten years with Yan Hua last season, was reimbursed again after only playing 21 games after returning from injury in the playoffs last season. During the injury, Greg Oden has drifted away from Yan Hua.

As for the best rookie center this season, before entering the NBA, Hashem Thabeet, known as the next Dibaken Mutombo, has been proven to be a parallel importer. In Ni-Smith's view, at the center position, it is inevitable that Yan Hua will outshine others. For Yan Hua, the era without opponents is lucky, but also lonely!
"Yeah, the only one who can restrain Yan Hua now is himself!" After Kenny Smith sighed, Charles Barkley also nodded, and while saying this, Charles - Barkley's eyes on Yan Hua also became complicated.

Finally, after the official timeout in the first quarter, Popovich changed his defensive strategy against Yan Hua, allowing Antonio McDyess to serve as the center forward to defend Yan Hua, and at the same time let Dee, who returned to the fourth position, Tom Duncan, in cooperation with Antonio McDyess, double-teamed Yan Hua when Yan Hua was holding the ball.

Antonio McDyess is a 36-year-old veteran. In addition, he has undergone multiple operations on his knees. Clamping, after the two floor-flowing old men flanked back and forth, Yan Hua's dreamy footsteps became a little unreal.

When Yan Hua had to give up the offense and start passing the ball because of the Spurs' double-team, the situation on the court began to change. Before the official timeout, because of Yan Hua's huge lethality at the basket and very efficient singles hits The rate, and the Spurs, who were pressed and beaten by the king, slowly recovered and showed signs of turning around.

After the Spurs began to double-team Yan Hua, the Kings also quickly made adjustments. Reggie Toyes replaced Serge Ibaka with Dante Green, who has excellent three-point shooting ability. I want to use this to relieve Yan Hua's defensive pressure.

And Dante Green, who came off the bench, did not disappoint Reggie Toyes. After Dante Green made two three-pointers, the Kings completely suppressed the Spurs' counterattack momentum, and finally when the first quarter of the game At the end, after Yan Hua assisted Dante Green to hit a three-pointer at the buzzer, 26 to 18, the Kings in the away game established an 8-point lead in the first quarter.

A game that was considered to be a strong dialogue before the game turned out like this, somewhat unexpected, but now there are still three full quarters before the end of the game, and the final result is still unknown.

Although there is still a long time before the end of the game, and the Spurs have enough opportunities to reverse the score on the field, the duel between the Spurs and the Kings in the first quarter also gave those who firmly supported the Spurs Fans and spectators brought some hesitation.

Although at the team level, Tim Duncan is still the unshakable boss and leader of the Spurs, but due to the decline of Tim Duncan's strength and injuries, the core of the Spurs' tactics has been transferred to Tony Parker. However, in the first quarter of the game between Tony Allen and Tony Parker, Tony Parker was restrained by the king's Tony Allen, and this was the main reason why the Spurs fell behind by a big score.

Tony Parker, who is the core of tactics, is restricted. If the Spurs cannot solve this problem in the following games, it is impossible for them to reverse the situation on the court.

In addition to Tony Parker's problem, how to execute the defense against Yan Hua is also a big problem that the Spurs must face. One-on-one can't defend at all. No., there is no way to solve it.
