NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 313 I want them all, but I still have to choose
What Lu Yuanzhi said to Webber was certainly not comfort, nor was it just comfort. He really felt that the Spurs had no chance.

He didn't understand why this Spurs team won the championship in the 02-03 season.

It's not that the Spurs aren't strong, but they're not that obvious.

They certainly don't have any shortcomings. They have supplemented Parker and Ginobili on the outside, added breakthroughs, increased fast breaks, and launched quick counterattacks that the Spurs did not have in previous years, making it easier to score.

Inside, although David Robinson is old, he seems to still be able to play a little bit. Although his athletic ability has been completely lost, his height of 216 centimeters will not become shorter. As long as he steps to the basket, he is still a strong rim protector, not to mention His outside support and shooting abilities have not declined at all.

What's more, the team also has Tim Duncan, the forever No. 21 pick who was at his peak when he debuted.

As long as Duncan is there, the Spurs have a backbone.

From Lu Yuanzhi's perspective, there is nothing worth mentioning about this Spurs team except for its terrifyingly stable offense and defense.

It's just so stable.

And the Spurs' bench doesn't allow them to have any magical formations.

Could it be that the Spurs' hard power is stronger than other teams, and they can win as long as they are stable?
Lu Yuanzhi couldn't figure it out.

When it comes to the offensive end, with a few simple screens, the Kings have a chance. Bibby looks for Webber to set up a pick-and-roll. Duncan quickly retreats to guard against other defenders. Once you retreat, they may really miss you because of their poor shooting ability. Method.

At this time, the guards either rush inside to score like Iverson, or they don't rush inside to assist their teammates to score like Kidd and Nash. Duncan's retreat and David Robinson's protection of the basket will make them extremely uncomfortable.

But Bibi is different!

Bibby is a rare point guard shooting master in this era!

Seeing that Bibby was about to take a shot from the outside, Bowen helped defend. Bibby did not hesitate and passed the ball directly to Lu Yuanzhi.

The unguarded Lu Yuanzhi raised his knife and returned the Spurs with a three-pointer!

70: 77!

The Kings' lead came to 7 points.

After Lu Yuanzhi made the goal, he continued to have strange thoughts, why is this Spurs team's defense the best in the league and the fewest points allowed in the regular season.

What are they guarding against?
Why did Duncan dare to retreat?
Why is the defense so lax on the outside?
It doesn't make sense!

None of it makes sense!

When the Spurs' offensive round came, Lu Yuanzhi knew without looking that they were going to find Duncan again.

Sure enough, David Robinson mentioned dealing cards from the high post and used his mid-range shooting ability to pull Divac out of the paint.

Yes, you pull Divac out, so what?
It's not Divac that our Kings rely on to double-team Duncan.

This time, Bibby went up to double-team Duncan. Duncan still took action before the double-team was formed, but this time, the ball bounced off the backboard and hit the side of the basket.

Did not enter!

That's it?

Just this attack?

Why the Spurs played so easily was evident in the last round. Webber had no problem defending, and Duncan didn't get a good shot either. He just made it by luck.

But why are we still fighting like this in this round?
Can't you do some other coordination with pick-and-rolls, screens, counter-runs, etc.?
As soon as Duncan sat inside, Lu Yuanzhi knew that the Spurs wanted to play "Inside-Out" and wanted to use Duncan to attract double teams to find opportunities for his teammates.

After facing the Kings' rapid rotation on the outside and being unable to use this tactic, just let Duncan go it alone?
What choice is this?There are two breakthrough players, Parker and Ginobili, standing on the court. If you put more pick-and-rolls and screens, the Kings' formation will be torn apart by you. Why don't you play?
Questions kept popping up in Lu Yuanzhi's mind. He even suspected that if it hadn't been for the Kings' collective misfire in the third quarter, the Spurs would have been defeated.

But is this reasonable?
Are the Kings that strong?

Or is there some reason that Lu Yuanzhi never thought of?

Then when the Kings attack, Lu Yuanzhi passes Bowen from outside the three-point line and goes straight to the inside. The Spurs lineup shrinks quickly. Lu Yuanzhi makes a simple pass and passes the ball to the vacated Stojakovic. Then the Yugoslavs also hit an easy three-pointer.

70: 80!

In two rounds, the score widened to 10 points.

No, what's going on with you guys, Spurs? Is it that difficult to defend a three-pointer?
Why leave another vacancy for Peja?
Oh, you can't prevent it?
Whether it is Lu Yuanzhi, Stojakovic, or Bibby who is ambushing at the top of the key, they all have shooting ability. As long as the Spurs have help in defense, there will be openings. However, these three shooters of the Kings are too quick to shoot. The team's defense took action before it arrived.

But this is not the reason for being beaten into a sieve.

The more he fought, the more questions Lu Yuanzhi had.

But this did not affect the momentum of the Kings to start their offensive performance in the final quarter.

The final score was fixed at 78:92.

The Kings once again easily won Game [-] of the series at home.

Lu Yuanzhi got 1 advanced free attribute point, which increased his three-point shooting with the ball to 86 points.

But I haven't been able to make up my mind on how to choose the enhanced skills for the playoffs. It's time to think about it carefully.

Last season, Lu Yuanzhi often played as a substitute, so the skill "Microwave" appeared in the enhanced skill options. However, as Lu Yuanzhi has been playing the main role this season, this skill has also disappeared.

The three skills now are:

A. Enhanced shooting range: The shooting percentage reduced due to the increased shooting range will be partially corrected.

B. Strengthen the core: Increase the stability of technical movements such as fadeaway jumpers and dry boards.

C. Engine: Enhance vision and increase the stability and accuracy of passing.

There are still three options, two skills that enhance offense and one that enhances comprehensive ability.

Lu Yuanzhi did not choose to strengthen skills in the first round because he felt that these three skills were too good.

Needless to say, the first one to enhance the shooting range is the ultra-long three-pointer that Lu Yuanzhi has been trying in the second half of the regular season, and currently, it is indeed the first choice to enhance immediate combat effectiveness.

But there is a small problem with choosing this skill, that is, your threat of long-range three-pointers continues to increase, and of course it can draw out the opponent's defensive players, giving you more space to attack and pass the ball.

But here comes the problem. Lu Yuanzhi has practiced passing the ball, and his current level can only be said to be quite satisfactory, far from being able to connect the team.

If you want to choose enhanced range, do you have to consider learning the third skill engine first?
After all, judging from the last few games of the regular season, even without strengthening the shooting range skill, Lu Yuanzhi can still shoot ultra-long three-pointers with his own shooting mechanism, and his shooting rate is not low.

After throwing away the defender far away from the three-point line, tearing apart the opponent's defense, and then using the passing ability provided by the "engine" skill, you can better create offensive opportunities for your teammates.

Yes, Lu Yuanzhi now considers not only his own offense, but also his teammates.

Because next season, he will go to a new team to be the boss. If he doesn't take advantage of this playoff to strengthen himself, next season will definitely not be easy.

But if you choose the third option, do you have to consider the second option?
