Chapter 359: Popovich wants Ginobili

On CCTV’s live broadcast booth, Zhang Liyi said: “The Spurs’ lineup is as flawed as the Knicks. Although they are super strong on the inside, they are average on the outside. On the front line, the Spurs, like the Knicks, do not have a fixed main small forward. There are several role players in rotation. Although the guard line is a fixed main force, but the strength of the championship-level team, it is weak, worse than the Knicks, the Lakers, and the Philadelphia digital team."

Su Qun nodded and said: "The Knicks' three guards, Ginobili's performance is a little weaker, now he is averaging 9.5 points, 2.1 assists and 1.5 turnovers per game. It is understandable. After all, he is a rookie who is still trying to adapt to the tough NBA game. This performance is still quite good. This should be the strongest perimeter combination for the Knicks in the past few seasons."

Zhang Yangyi said: "Ginobili is okay. As soon as he entered the league, the Knicks let him play as the main force. If he is allowed to play from the bench, I think it will be better. If he comes up as the main force, too much pressure will affect it. His play."

At 7:50, the starting scene.

"Shhh!"

The Spurs' home fans are not very friendly to the Knicks, especially to Zhao Dong. As soon as he appeared, his boos climbed to the highest peak.

Bill Walton laughed and said: "In the last Finals, the Knicks beat the home fans here to leave early. It was only the first quarter and the scene was very embarrassing for the Spurs. So this game, whether it is Spurs or Spurs. Fans, all want to avenge that one arrow."

"The battle of revenge? That happens. Barkley retired, and the Knicks bench is getting weaker. Now is the best chance for revenge. However, for the Spurs to succeed in revenge, it depends on whether the flying dragon agrees. I bet this time. In the game, the flying dragon will enter the low position, the front and the Spurs twin towers."

Matt grinned honestly.

Bill Walton analyzed: "In the finals, the Knicks played the Spurs' twin tower tactics, but the King of China went to the Mavericks. The Knicks no longer have the strength to play the twin towers. I don't know what tactics old Nelson will play this time. ,I'm curious."

At eight o'clock, the game started.

Fordson and Duncan jumped the ball and the Knicks attacked.

Stackhouse took possession of the ball, Ginobili and Madman drew left and right, all outside.

Fordson didn’t pull, he had a little mid-range shot, but generally, if he pulled out, David Robinson would definitely not follow him completely. The Knicks’ offense was not his turn, so it’s better to stay in the paint and do offensive screens. Rebounding and second offense are his job.

Zhao Dong entered the left wing, two steps away from the left line of the paint zone, about three meters away, below the dotted line of the free throw line, Duncan defended by his side.

This is the same as O'Neal's defense against Yao. It is very difficult to defend. Even if Zhao Dong pulls to the three-point line, Duncan must keep up, otherwise he will switch defense. Anyone with the exception of Robinson will be beaten against Zhao Dong. , This has been proved in the finals.

Today, Popovich hit man-to-man, because the Knicks are very strong outside, he dare not double-team any of them, that would only give others a chance.

But in the paint zone, he still developed a double-teaming tactic. As long as Zhao Dong enters the paint zone, whether it is with or without the ball, he will immediately double-team.

At this time, Zhao Dong suddenly started, running without the ball, first cut outwards, and after attracting Duncan to keep up, suddenly ran backwards, threw off Duncan, and immediately cut in.

"Hurry up! Don't let him pass in easily." Popovich shouted sharply.

Outside, the young general Johnson desperately defended Stackhouse with the ball and prevented him from passing the ball in.

In the paint zone, Robinson stood at the front left side of the basket and stared at Zhao Dong.

Duncan, who was thrown off, also desperately pursued Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong rushed to the left line of the paint zone. Stackhouse's ball had not yet passed in. The best pass opportunity was missed. He rushed to and behind Robinson, turned around and stuck, and once again moved towards Star at the top of the arc. Kerhouse wants the ball.

The chance is only half a second, or even less than half a second. If you fail to pass in this time period, Duncan will return to the defense in two steps and form a double-team with Zhao Dong at the basket. This season, you can double-team without the ball. of.

"Whoo!"

Stackhouse finally passed the ball in. In order to avoid Avery Johnson's hand, the line was a bit high and passed directly to the basket.

David Robinson is very experienced. When he saw the ball pass high, he immediately elbowed him and pushed Zhao Dong hard. The defensive intention was to push Zhao Dong's center of gravity and prevent him from taking off and catching the ball smoothly.

But Zhao Dong's core strength is too strong, his lower limb strength is also level 95, and the bottom plate is very stable. Robinson didn't even move at this moment. The next moment, Zhao Dong jumped up.

At this time, Duncan returned to the front right of Zhao Dong, looked at the ball, and jumped up first, trying to steal the pass.

But the ball was really a bit high. The ball flew over the tip of Duncan's palm and hit the backboard.

"Snapped!"

After Duncan, with the 95-level bounce and the super performance of the Silver Devil, Zhao Dong emerged from the former and grabbed the ball with one hand.

"boom!"

At the moment of falling, Zhao Dong turned around and smashed the basket.

"Beep!"

The referee's whistle sounded.

"Sheet!"

David Robinson at the basket just gave Zhao Dong a hand, before he had time to jump, he was dunked, and then the whistle rang, blowing him a blocking foul, and his nose was so angry that his nose was blue.

"Pretty! Feilong got an empty dunk in the double team of the Spurs Twin Towers. It's wonderful!" Su Qun shouted excitedly.

"It's a really high jump, it should be one meter, right?" Zhang Liangyi said with a smile.

On the TNT live broadcast, Bill Walton analyzed: "The three Knicks guards are mainly offensive, and there is no pure point guard. I think the point guard that is more suitable for the Flying Dragons is Nash of the Suns to organize passes. Mainly, offensively second, and he shoots well."

"No, the Spurs focus on defense, and Nash's defense is too bad. The really suitable point guard should be a point guard with first-class defense like Kidd and Payton, but it's almost offensive. To say the most appropriate, I think it is the Heat's little one. Worm, organize the pass and attack all-around." Matt laughed.

Zhao Dong made a penalty, stood on the free throw line, and after receiving the ball thrown by the referee, he squinted at Duncan and said, "Boy, do you want to have my free throw percentage?"

He now has a free throw percentage of 90%, one of the highest in the league, making O'Neal envious of him.

"Is there a special training method?"

Duncan's eyes lit up and he said honestly, "Yes."

"Then go and practice urinals."

After Zhao Dong finished speaking, he threw the ball in his hand to the hoop. Hey, the wonderful sound of brushing the hoop immediately sounded, adding a free throw.

"Tim, ignore him, he is teasing you." David Robinson glared at Zhao Dong and said to Duncan.

Spurs offensive, in order to contain Fordson and reduce the Knicks' rebounding ability, Popovich decided to play high and low double tower tactics.

In the last Finals, the Knicks used this tactic to make the Spurs suffer.

Although the media said that the Knicks' outside height is not high enough, Zhao Dong and Fordson are both top rebounders. The quality of the Knicks' rebounds is actually very guaranteed.

David Robinson took the ball in the high post, took the ball from the young general Johnson, and then passed it to the left-wing low Duncan, and then made a cut to the basket by himself.

The Knicks are also man-to-man, Zhao Dong only defended Duncan, did not double-team, and did not give the Spurs a chance to open outside.

After Duncan received the ball with one hand, there was no pause, up and down, the continuous shaking made Zhao Dong's center of gravity move, and then again, he jumped and hit the board at forty-five degrees and hit a ball.

"hurry up!"

At this time, the old Nelson shouted loudly from the sidelines, and at the same time waved his hand to the frontcourt to signal the team to play a fast break.

All three outside lines rushed to the frontcourt, followed by Fordson, while Zhao Dong in the low post quickly picked up the ball and prepared to serve it quickly.

Duncan waved his hands in front of Zhao Dong, trying to stop Zhao Dong from making a quick move, but Zhao Dong used a very fast lateral movement to get out of the former's block. Nobili.

Ginobili received the ball and turned to the paint zone.

At this time, the young general Johnson, who returned to the defense from the center, blocked Ginobili's way, but Ginobili made a very fast and continuous change of direction. He used his European steps to rush Johnson, then layup and scored. This fast break.

"Pretty, this rookie's breakthrough is really unique. This is his breakthrough action in the European League, also called the European step." Zhang Liangyi laughed.

"Now Iverson's breakthrough is similar to the European step, and it is also a continuous change." Su Qun laughed.

"It's still different. Iverson decelerated before changing direction. His speed was too fast. He changed direction without decelerating. Neither ankle nor knee could stand it. It was too easy to be injured. And Ginobili's change of direction, It was very sudden, and there was no obvious slowdown, and his body was often twisted into twists, and he was not afraid of hurting himself." Zhang Yangliang laughed.

On the sidelines, Popovich stared at Ginobili, flashing the breakthrough picture in his mind, and sighed. Why doesn't such a defender belong to the Spurs?

"Damn Knicks, **** Wyvern!"

In this year's draft, he originally planned to use the second round of picking Ginobili, but was cut off by the Knicks, and afterwards learned that this was Zhao Dong's suggestion, so he was always upset.

However, Kirilenko, who was selected by the Spurs in the first round of the 28th pick, refused to come, making him even more annoyed. He was blinded by a first-round pick.

"Try a trade. I heard that after Barkley was injured, the Knicks wanted to strengthen the lineup. They don't have much bargaining chips. Maybe they can trade to Ginobili?"

In his mind, he began to make a good deal, how to get Ginobili from the Knicks.

But in fact, he is delusional. What the Knicks really want is a good small forward. The interior is second, and this is the position that the Spurs currently lack.

5:2, the Spurs attacked.

This time, Duncan had another forty-five degree kick.

His shooting percentage at the rim is 70%, and the shooting range at the rim refers to a reasonable collision zone within one meter.

And his close-to-the-basket shot, which is nearly two points, refers to the range of the paint zone within three meters. With his stable boarding skills, his hit rate is barely 50%, which is a few percentage points higher than the previous one. , This is because he learned Zhao Dong's boarding skills.

The ball was missed under Zhao Dong's defense.

The ball bounced, and Zhao Dong, who turned and threw in, and Robinson, who cut into the basket, jumped at the same time to grab the rebound.

Although Robinson is 216 cm tall, he is not very good at jumping. The ball was snatched by Zhao Dong.

The three Knicks guards once again played a defensive counterattack fast break, the Spurs failed to keep up, small forward Jerome Corsi was thrown off by the opposing madman, Zhao Dong passed to the madman.

The other two guards pulled away, and the Madman took the ball and slammed into the unmanned paint area, facing the basket with a one-arm dunk and banging into a goal.

Next, the Spurs attacked.

Because the Knicks always focus on single defense, even in the low position, they easily do not double-team the Twin Towers. The Spurs did not get a good opportunity to open the outside, and the offense was pressured on the Twin Towers, especially Duncan.

The Knicks' three guards frequently played fast breaks, and the offensive and defensive rhythms were very fast.

In the 9th minute of the first quarter, 24:16, the Knicks led by 8 points, and the Spurs called a timeout for the second time.

Bill Walton analyzed: "Comparing the offensive quality of the two teams, the Knicks are more efficient than the Spurs in the fast break of the three guards or the low-post offense of the Wyverns. They played a high-quality offense. The team sent 7 in 9 minutes For the first assists, the dragon has sent out 4 assists, the assist rate is very high, the tactics are very successful, this is also the reason why the Knicks are leading.

The Spurs focused on Duncan's low-post offense. They made 6 shots in 9 minutes, hit 3, made 2 of 4 free throws, scored 8 points, performed normally, and shot 50% from the field.

But Duncan had only one offense under the basket. The other five offenses were on the paint sideline, hitting two, and his shooting percentage was 40%, which was lower than his normal level. Under the single defense of the dragon, he scored nearly two points. The hit rate has been reduced by nearly 10%, and he has eaten a big hat from Flying Dragon. "

The horse characteristic head said: "So the Spurs Twin Towers should go into the basket to play, so the offensive quality and efficiency will be higher."

After returning from the timeout, the Knicks replaced Fortson and played for Willis. Zhao Dong was still on the court, still playing center.

Outside, John Wallace was in the third position, the guard combination was Ginobili and Madman, Stackhouse took a break and made two starts.

For the Spurs, Robinson went to rest, Duncan was on the court, Avery Johnson was on the court, and the small forward was last season's main forward Sean Elliott, with two role players.

"The Spurs' bench is still very good, they can play, Popovich is very good at mobilizing the ability of the bench players, good at training role players." Bill Walton laughed.

"The super giant has to become a role player in his hands, so even if the Spurs made it to the Finals last season, there were very few live broadcasts in the United States this season, ranking 23rd in the league because no one wants to. Watching a group of role players play, everyone wants to see the performance of the stars." Matt vomited.

"Ha ha……"

Before Matt had finished speaking, Bill Walton burst into laughter, tears bursting out of his eyes.

In the next three minutes, the Knicks still had their original tactics, with Zhao Dong playing in the low post and fast break from the outside, with a fast pace.

That is to say, Duncan has not been seriously injured, can fly and run, barely able to keep up with the rhythm, but it is also very difficult to follow.

After the first quarter, at 30:21, the Knicks led by 9 points.

This score surprised the media because they originally predicted that the Spurs would dominate.

During the break, Zhang Yangyi analyzed: "The Knicks played very well today, and the tactics are also very good. They didn't double the towers and didn't give the Spurs outside opportunities.

The Spurs are traditional inside play. The offense starts from the inside. The ball advances to the inside. If the inside line can be played, it will be played. If it is not, it will be divided.

But the Knicks do not give outside opportunities, the Spurs Twin Towers, it should be said that Duncan, he can only keep offensive, because teammates have no good opportunities.

Duncan scored 12 points in the first quarter, making 5 of 10 shots and 2 of 4 free throws. The efficiency is still good.

But the Knicks are more efficient. Zhao Dong still played an efficient offense, shooting 5 of 6 shots in a single quarter, 3 of 3 free throws, 13 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 block. So it is not surprising that the Spurs are behind so much. .

Now the Knicks have to consider whether Zhao Dong's physical fitness will be problematic with the reduction of the main rotation player by one person. What about the three guards? "

For the second time, the Knicks, Zhao Dong and Willis, John Wallace continued to play, the guard line Stackhouse, and Madman.

As for the Spurs, Robinson replaced Duncan, while the young point guard Johnson did not, and veteran backup guard Terry Porter.

In the first quarter, Zhao Dong and Duncan faced each other and didn't have the full power to attack, because he was ready to play the whole game ~www.readwn.com~The physical distribution should be balanced.

Opposing David Robinson in the second quarter, from the beginning, he took over the main offense of the team.

If you don't enter the paint zone, first pull the admiral out, then use your movement speed to harden your opponent, and then enter the paint zone, unsatisfactory.

The bang, bang, and the constant smashing of the basket made the Spurs fans dizzy.

When the Spurs' substitute inside defended on the weak side, they were continuously buckled and knocked over by Zhao Dong. They were embarrassed. Zhao Dong hit two plus one twice in a row, which was full of lethality.

In the fourth minute, led by Zhao Dong, the Knicks shot a wave of ten to four attacks, 40:25, the Knicks had a lead of 15 points, Popovich called a timeout.

Bill Walton laughed and said: "David Robinson is still old, although he can still play, but facing the flying dragon with a bug in the inside movement speed, his footsteps seem too old."

"It can't keep up with the rhythm of the flying dragon at all. The Spurs must replace Duncan and the twin towers together before they have a chance to wrestle with the flying dragon." Matt shook his head.
