Bishop of the Devil

The growth of Xiao Ao's personal strength is obvious.

David Robinson's decline in strength is also obvious.

In the duel between these two people last season, the Admiral was still at an absolute advantage, but this season, O'Brien can have some advantages...

Since O'Brien can play an advantage, the Spurs have basically no chance of winning.

One of the Spurs' twin towers has been removed. It is definitely unrealistic to expect Duncan to defeat the Trail Blazers alone.

"Beep!" The referee blew the whistle and whistled Elliott's foul, and Ben was sent to the free throw line.

"Beep!" Just thirty seconds later, the referee blew the whistle again. This time, it was Cole's foul, and Ben was sent to the free throw line again!

Not long after the game started, the Trail Blazers originally had a 5-point lead. However, due to these two free throws, they were directly chased by the Spurs and only had a 2-point lead.

Ben made 4 free throws, embarrassingly only hitting one of them!

…

"Dudududu!" In less than a minute, young general Johnson also sent Ben to the free throw line.

Richard would be a fool if he couldn't see what Popovich was thinking now...

Cost-cutting tactics.

Since 1997, Richard used the shark-cutting tactic crazily against O'Neal, and now this tactic has become quite popular in the league.

Richard is definitely not the pioneer of this tactic, at most he can be regarded as carrying it forward.

As a result, he flourished and didn't use it very often. On the contrary, Popovich used it quite smoothly...

For example, in this year's Western Conference semifinals, the reason why the Spurs were able to defeat the Lakers so easily was due to their shark-cutting tactics.

O'Neal only averaged an embarrassing 23 points per game in this series!

It seems that this score is actually a lot, but that is O'Neal, a great killer at the basket. He only averaged 23 points per game, which can only be described as embarrassing.

Why are there so few points? One is the strong defensive strength of the Spurs Twin Towers, which will definitely have an impact on O'Neal's performance.

The second is foul tactics. In this series, O'Neal averaged 18 free throws per game in the five games!

In these 18 free throws, O'Neal only made 8 free throws per game, and his free throw shooting rate was less than 50%!

Such an embarrassing free throw shooting rate has caused O'Neal's number of shots to drop sharply, averaging only 16 shots per game!

He didn't dare to catch the ball at the critical moment and could only let outside players take the shot.

As a result, Kidders and Glen Rice both took more shots than O'Neal...

O'Neal lost quite unjustly. It can be said that he was completely tricked by foul tactics.

If his free throw shooting percentage can reach over 70%, it will still be quite difficult for the Spurs to win against the Lakers...

Because in the four games the Spurs won, the final point difference was only three to five points, and there was not a big point difference.

It stands to reason that O'Neal should actually hate Popovich, but this guy is jealous of Richard. In his opinion, if it weren't for Richard, Popovich probably wouldn't be so frantic to kill him!

…

Richard looked at the situation on the field and frowned.

Popovich played a tactic of killing people, which is really dark...

He never thought that he was much worse than Popovich. At that time, O'Neal directly let O'Neal set the single-game free throw record in NBA history.

Ben was cut down continuously, which caused the Blazers' offensive rhythm to become disordered. The Spurs also took this opportunity to start chasing points, and in a short period of time they had overtaken the score!

The Spurs are leading by three points on the field!

Trail Blazers fans were stunned, the Spurs actually took the lead? ! They are so fierce...

In desperation, Richard had no choice but to replace his boss!

We can't keep our big guns on the court. If we continue to stay on the court, Popovich will definitely not be soft and can cut him from beginning to end...

With Ben out of the game, Rasheed was moved to the power forward position, and Richard put Bowen on the court again.

The situation has stabilized for the time being!

But before Richard could breathe a sigh of relief, Popovich frantically started a new round of killing tactics.

Cut Bowen...

Richard was speechless. The Spurs are so concerned about Bowen, and it is basically a foregone conclusion that Bowen will go to the Spurs. Is it really appropriate for you to expose Bowen's flaws in this game? !

This is so impatient that you would even kill one of your own people...

In desperation, Richard could only replace Bowen and put Nowitzki on.

This was quite uncomfortable. Richard's brows furrowed into knots as he sat on the court and thought hard about his plan to counterattack the Spurs.

Use slashing tactics to directly counter Popovich? !

What is more embarrassing is that there is no target in the Spurs team that can be cut. Whether it is Duncan or David Robinson, these two people's free throws use cutting tactics on them, which is not worth the gain.

This is very uncomfortable...

Just a simple shark-cutting tactic made Richard realize that the situation was not good.

In fact, it's not like there weren't teams before that wanted to use man-killing tactics against the Trail Blazers.

However, the key point is that it is of no use...

Can the Trail Blazers win without Ben and Bowen in their lineup? !

It seems I still can’t win…

But the Spurs are different. Of the 28 teams in the league except the Trail Blazers, the Spurs are the closest to the Trail Blazers.

They rely on the shark-cutting tactic, and maybe they can actually produce something unexpected.

At least now Richard can't think of any good solution.

This game can definitely be played.

But don’t expect victory to be a sure thing!

Rashid's defense is good, but there is definitely a big gap compared to Ben. He can't guard Duncan at all.

On the contrary, due to direct confrontation with Duncan, his own offensive efficiency has also declined.

The problem is somewhat serious...

This game is definitely the biggest difficulty Richard faces this season. If he is not careful, he may lose!

"Are we going to use those celebrity points?!"

"I really can't bear to part with it..."

Richard lamented in his heart...

He actually planned to prepare this point for Yao Ming, but the team is currently facing a dilemma. If he does not improve his free throw shooting ability, Duncan cannot limit this point!

I must be quite reluctant to part with it, after all, this little bit of fame is likely to extend Yao Ming's career for several years!

But right now, I can’t use it anymore. No matter how reluctant I am to part with it, I can only use it while covering my heart and mouth!

"I hope I will have the opportunity to get famous points in the future..." Richard thought sadly.

He used the few points he had on hand to focus on Ben's free throw attribute!

Ben's originally embarrassing free throw attributes were immediately improved to 70 points!
