As for Sun Hao, on the contrary, to describe it in one sentence, it is: Hey, I caught you again!

Gearing up and eager to try.

A very interesting scene before the game, followed immediately by the opening ceremony!

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides came out one after another.

For the Spurs, Parker, Gary Neal, Leonard, Duncan, Thiago Splitter.

For the Lakers, Knight, Sun Hao, Carter, Millsap, Yao Ming.

Ginobili?

He is already 35 years old, and now he can really only play as a substitute.

Yao Ming and Split's jump ball in the center circle.

Splitter is a third-year student, but he is not in the same class as Curry Harden and the others, but in the same class as Durant earlier.

A Brazilian player, he played in La Liga. After being selected, he played in Europe for three more years and joined the NBA. This resume is very familiar to Sun Hao.

After the end of Brazil's golden generation, Split, who is 2.11 meters tall and has a wingspan of 2.18 meters, can be regarded as one of the core players of the Brazilian men's basketball team.

However, in front of Yao Ming, even if he has a tinfoil perm hairstyle to increase his height, he still looks a bit short in front of Yao Ming.

As soon as the whistle blew, Yao Ming moved the ball back to the Lakers half, and the semifinals between the Lakers and the Spurs officially began.

The Lakers' first attack surprised Popovich on the sidelines.

Because it was the triangle offense he was familiar with, but the person who initiated the attack was not Sun Hao as he expected.

Generally speaking, the Lakers start with Sun Hao-Carter-Yao Ming establishing a triangle, and then Sun Hao passes to Yao Ming to attack.

But the Lakers opened the game with Knight giving the ball and then moving to the corner, turning into a triangle of Knight-Carter-Yao Ming.

The tactics seem to be the same tactics, but the people have changed.

Is this because Yao Ming was in good form in the first round, but in the second round he was completely free to play?

That was the first thought that ran through Popovich's mind.

And just when he was thinking this, Carter had already quickly lobbed the ball to Yao Ming under the basket.

Without him shouting, the Spurs' defense in the strong side corner was already closing in.

Although Knight has a good three-pointer, he is still far behind Sun Hao.

But at this moment, the changes in the triangle tactics came out.

After Carter fed the ball in, he did not simply stand on the outside to draw space, but began to move toward the top of the arc.

Then, an off-ball pick-and-roll occurred with the three-point line at the top of the arc slightly to the right.

And after this pick-and-roll occurred, the Lakers' offensive purpose quickly emerged.

This is not a low post attack designed for Yao Ming, but a corner pick-and-roll designed for Sun Hao!

As soon as Sun Hao came out, Yao Ming, who was double-teamed, had already passed the ball.

When the ball arrives, the tacit understanding between the two was not only developed during this season with the Lakers!

Because Knight also cut to the basket at the same time, the Spurs' defensive rotation at this time could not keep up.

After Sun Hao caught the ball, he had a very good shooting space. He didn't hesitate and just raised his hand and threw it away.

Familiar rhythms, familiar pictures, and familiar feelings!

Even before the ball was scored, the Staples Center was filled with cheers from the fans.

That's right, they knew the ball was going in before it went in!

The cheers were answered by the ball going straight through the net.

Because of the cheers, the sound of it entering the net was even drowned out.

But this made the fans even more excited, and many people stood up in cheers.

This damn sense of ritual!

Popovich felt the sound of explosions in his ears and frowned.

Even though he was cunning, he never expected that the Lakers would fool him in the first round.

Why do you say it's a joke?

Because with Carter's basketball IQ and his status in the Lakers team, it is impossible to adjust the team's tactics in a short period of time.

So the only possibility is that the Lakers did it intentionally.

Popovich was a little angry, but he misunderstood Harris.

With Harris' ability, it's a bit difficult for him to play with Popovich.

This tactical adjustment of the Lakers is actually what Sun Hao said to Yao Ming before the game: to prevent Yao Ming from being injured and shift the focus of offense from the inside to the outside.

But it can be said that it is just a joke.

Because the triangle tactic in the opening scene clearly meant a feint.

In the Spurs' offense, Parker holds the ball and Duncan pulls up to the high post for a pick-and-roll.

Similar to the Lakers, the Spurs' offense is also launched from the outside.

But the difference is that they actively change.

Although Duncan is still standing as the "Stone Buddha", he is already 36 years old after all. Even if his abilities are still at the highest level, his physical fitness cannot keep up.

In contrast, Parker is just 30 years old as a defender and is reaching the peak of his career.

So this season, not only did Parker retain the Spurs' scoring title, but a large number of the team's offenses were initiated from him.

After a quick break-in after a pick-and-roll, Parker's sports car accelerates very quickly in a short distance.

But Millsap had good footwork and followed Parker.

Parker went to the inside, turned on the top mode directly, made a big circle around Millsap, and then wiped the board and hit the ball into the basket.

When Parker was at his peak, in addition to the nickname "Sports Car", another one was the "Little Prince of Gyro".

His breaking top layup is a must-have. Many times you know he will spin, but you just can't keep up.

The Lakers caught the Spurs off guard at the beginning, but the Spurs can reach the semifinals in the Western Conference this season. They also have their own unique things, unparalleled tacit understanding and perseverance willpower.

Just like looking at a person, you can see his shortcomings, but you should also see his strengths.

The match between the two sides has just begun, but the fans' emotions have already been aroused.

How can this be more exciting than the first round!

The Lakers' offense and on-court tactics have changed again!

It's still the Knight-Carter-Yao Ming triangle.

But this time Carter didn't continue to lob the ball in.

Because on the weak side, Millsap moved to the top of the arc to play a pick-and-roll for Sun Hao.

After the split, Sun Hao moved to the weak side, and Carter was also ready to pass the ball.

This seems to be a tactic where the strong side turns to the weak side, and the weak side plays a triangle.

The Spurs once again had rich experience and directly attacked Sun Hao in advance.

Judging from the offensive method with a false shot in the opening game, there is a high probability that Sun Hao will be the main player for the Lakers tonight.

But in the next second, Popovich reached out and rubbed his face.

Because the Spurs were once again "feinted"!

Carter did not pass the ball to Sun Hao, but directly to Millsap!

After setting a pick-and-roll for Sun Hao, Millsap cut to the basket!

Another tactical evolution of the triangle offense!

Millsap quickly broke into the basket after receiving the ball. At this time, Neal, who was supposed to switch to guard him, had no time to catch up.

Split, who was under the basket, didn't dare to let go of Yao Ming to help defend.

The result was that after receiving the ball, Millsap quickly broke in, flew over and scored with a one-handed dunk!

The Staples Center was once again ablaze with cheers.

The Lakers' triangle tactic is even better than the one during the previous dynasty!

Rambis's decision to increase the role of role players in the offense turned out to be extremely correct.

Use a very vivid thing to describe it: women wear clothes.

Before that, the triangle tactic was like two gorgeous neon clothes, which were dazzling when put on by beauties.

But now, fans have discovered that this dress can also make people look beautiful when worn on ordinary people.

As the saying goes: People rely on clothes, and beauty depends on bright clothes! (Make money!)

But that's probably what it means. Fans also discovered in this Lakers team that the triangle offense is not only an exclusive tactic that can become a superstar.

Perhaps this is closer to the original intention of old Winter when he invented this tactic: to allow more people to participate in the offense and then show the team's capabilities.

But this time Popovich had a headache.

He had played against Phil Jackson many times, and he was very familiar with the triangle tactic.

But the Lakers' new triangle caught him off guard.

To use a metaphor, he is waiting for a beauty to come out of the boudoir, and then guess what kind of clothes she will wear!

Guess it correctly and gain favor.

If you guess wrong, your favorability will be -1.

If he keeps guessing wrong, this beauty will have to say goodbye to him.

The Spurs' frontcourt continued to play Parker and Duncan's pick-and-roll.

This time the Lakers shrunk and Parker passed the ball to Leonard in the corner.

At this point in time, although a complete tactical system has not yet been formed, the prototype of the "hammer tactics" can already be seen at this time.

Leonard has also begun to play a big role on the offensive end.

Leonard received the ball and made a three-pointer.

Except for Ginobili, the other two are still at their peak. Leonard plays more of a 3D role with the Spurs.

He caught the ball comfortably and released it quickly.

"Dang!"

It's a pity that his shot hit the basket.

Leonard is actually very inspirational. Apart from the murder of his father, whom he talked about for a long time while singing, his own growth is also very story-telling.

During the NCAA period, he was a standard rough guy, with almost no shooting.

This is also the reason why he obviously has very good physical talent, but his pick is not high, and he did not even enter the lottery.

There has never been a shortage of players with physical talent in the NBA, but in the end there are not that many players who can truly develop NBA-level skills.

In addition to personal diligence, there is also talent.

Well, the kind of talent you see in Curry and Thompson, shooting talent.

In addition to being diligent, Leonard also has a good point. He has big hands, which allows him to unlock the shooting method that best suits him.

It's just that this kind of truly acquired shooting requires time to accumulate.

Just like Sun Hao, you think he has a very strong shooting talent, but in fact he just trained it in the system space by spending three or even five times the training time of others.

Leonard has no system, so his shooting needs time to develop, and he is not particularly stable now.

Yao Ming protected the defensive rebound, and the Spurs' offense failed.

Moreover, after Yao Ming got the rebound, he threw it directly to Knight on the outside.

He didn't expect to keep grinding away with the Spurs here.

Knight got the ball and turned around for a fast break. Sun Hao followed up from the wing, and the two quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

The Spurs' weakness in not having a perimeter defender of Green's caliber was also clearly exposed at this time.

Because Leonard fell to the bottom corner, unless he knew how to do it instantly, it would be impossible to return to half court in this situation.

So at this time, the only ones returning were Parker and Neil.

But no matter which one of the two it is, unless they intentionally foul in advance, it will be difficult for them to organize this kind of two-line fast break.

Knight finally gave the ball to Sun Hao, and Sun Hao dodged with a European step and scored a layup on the board.

Now his ball-handling skills are very good, and he no longer needs a specific badge to increase his upper limit.

Although it is not as smooth as Ginobili, he has completely mastered the technology itself.

7 to 2.

Although it looked like the two sides were playing back and forth, the Lakers never stopped scoring in the opening rounds!

At this time, the camera showed Popovich to the Spurs.

Popovich's face looked a little ugly.

Because the detail that many people didn't notice is that even with such an opening, Yao Ming actually didn't play much on the Lakers side!

After many years, Popovich finally didn't face Zhuge Nelson, but this time he faced Zhuge Nelson's assistant, Boyo Harris!

It’s so uncomfortable, Ma Fei!

Of course, Sun Hao was even more uncomfortable.

It seems that in the new triangle offensive tactic, Sun Hao will not have so much offensive proportion, but in fact, his threat on the court has not decreased at all.

Because once Sun Hao is in position, you don't dare to take your attention away from him.

As long as you dare, Sun Hao will immediately make you pay with points.

And a very important issue that was covered up by Sun Hao and Yao Ming is that the reason why Rambis's new triangle tactic was successful with this Lakers team is because the other members of the Lakers team are not bad!

Take the previous tactic that Millsap used to pick and roll Sun Hao as an example. If Millsap's pick-and-roll quality is not high, or his speed is not fast enough, or his finishing ability is not strong enough, he will not be able to complete that tactic.

In Rambis's tactical book, the fourth position in the triangle offense has an exclusive title, called "the fourth position with strong finishing ability."

If Battier was on the court, it would be impossible for the Lakers to use the tactic just now.

Another example is Carter's passing ability and Knight's off-ball cuts.

These are all important factors for the Lakers' new triangle offense to work.

So as the game progressed, Popovich discovered a very helpless thing, that is, he could not prevent the Lakers from scoring.

This organization is not only Sun Hao, but the entire Lakers team.

By the time the game reached the second half of the fourth quarter, the Spurs had allowed the Lakers to score 115 points.

Although they themselves scored 100 points and still maintained hope of a comeback, everyone knows that hope is more like duckweed in the water. You can touch it, but when you are drowning, you cannot save it at all. you.

At the last moment of the game, there was a scene that was a bit sad to watch.

Duncan looked very annoyed after failing to make up the ball in consecutive tip-ups.

This feeling of annoyance continued into the retreat. After he retreated to the Spurs half, he leaned over and slapped the floor hard with both hands.

Even a stone Buddha is helpless!
