My basketball vision is different
Chapter 242 Cleverness is Misunderstood by Cleverness
As a super coach with a past of "great achievements", Popovich can be said to be the originator of the "shark-killing tactic", but this is just a small thing in his past glorious life, not even worth mentioning.
Popovich, who promoted foul tactics and slashing tactics, made centers including O'Neal and Howard and other poor free throw shooters suffer from it.
The shark-cutting tactic was used in the first five seconds. I remember when Popovich used this tactic, O'Neal himself was confused.
What was even more exaggerated about the last game between the Spurs and the Pacers was that Popovich not only "cut people," but also "surrounded them," meaning he didn't let your core players catch the ball and have a chance to take action.
Aren't you, Lin Shaojie, very majestic and powerful?
I just won't let you have a chance to catch the ball, what can you do?
The main reason is that Lynn's free throw shooting percentage is also high. Let me ask you, have you ever seen such a crazy tactic?
Anyway, Popovich is such a bad old man, a very bad old man.
It's not just a day or two that the league's top executives don't like this old man. It's not because this is a business alliance, but because the Spurs are using various methods one after another. For example, their rest rotation is too exaggerated.
We understand taking breaks when you are injured, and we also understand taking breaks when you are in poor condition.
However, he was not injured and was in good condition. He was taking a rest, even for no reason. He even took a rest without knowing the reason. When they arrived at the game, many spectators even had to ask someone or look up information to find out who the players who appeared on the court at this time were from.
It came out of nowhere.
How can such behavior make the league's top executives happy? Do you think those star players are just decorations, hiding them all day long? They are just signs and advertisements, which can be exchanged for money.
On the contrary, the Spurs' "unknown" players who appear from time to time perform well on the court, and the Spurs' record is very stable.
Of course, this season, Popovich once again got fined for resting, which made the old man very happy.
In addition to these "bad records" in the past, Popovich is more familiar with things like spraying referees than anyone else. He was even ejected for spraying referees, and fans and players have become accustomed to it.
The assistant coach failed to stop his coach, and then the coach received a "red card" and was sent off. The responsibility lies with the assistant coach, and the coach cannot be wrong.
What's exaggerated is that sometimes in a season, Popovich receives far more technical fouls than players. If you count this season, there are 8, ranking first in the team.
If the Pacers back then were said to be "all evil people," then this guy with white hair sitting on the sidelines was the one with a dark heart.
In the season four years ago, Popovich was ejected 14 times. It was so spectacular that it will become a legend in the history of the American professional basketball.
There are even bookmakers offering odds on when Popovich will next receive a technical foul or be ejected.
It can be said that in order to win, this bad old man "does all kinds of evil."
To destroy the home court refrigeration equipment and air-conditioning equipment, Popovich would have to cut the wires with scissors.
But what are the facts before Popovich?
The Spurs committed a total of 9 turnovers in a single quarter, which has exceeded the eight turnovers in a single quarter when facing the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals.
The performance of the "mistake" team members headed by Split was simply disgusting.
Lin Shaojie's steal was just rubbing salt into the Spurs' wounds. Was he trying to give away a big bonus and let his opponent score a triple-double or even a quadruple-double?
As for whether the Spurs' actions in this game were too big, this is a matter of judgment and wisdom. In comparison, it's pretty passable.
If some fouls are not called at the time, they will be ignored later, just like LeBron’s foul against West during the Eastern Conference Finals. The league added a level 1 flagrant foul the day after the game, but
Does it have any effect?
No!
The league did not make any penalty decisions related to "suspension", and everyone, including the Pacers players, thought it was normal.
Although many fans sometimes booed and taunted LeBron on his Twitter account, it had no actual impact. The league does most of this kind of thing, isn't it just to find balance?
Next time if you have the ability, let West fight back on LeBron, or fight back on other Heat players. Of course, the greater possibility is that West will be punished if he knocks LeBron, but everyone else will be fine.
.
Anyway, the league's uniform team is very smart about this kind of thing, and Popovich is also aware of it.
I looked up at the air-conditioning outlet. This thing was broken. No one could say for sure. Anyway, it wasn't me, Mr. Bobo, who did it. I wouldn't admit it even to death.
Sitting in the auditorium, the Lushanyue people were so hot that they wanted to take off their coats, but they couldn't bear it after just sitting quietly for a while, and sweat broke out on their foreheads.
The spectators wearing jackets in front of them began to take off their coats one by one, obviously feeling the heat. You can imagine what it must be like for the players who are exercising vigorously and fighting hard on the court.
...
Sweat slid down his clothes, and Paul George soon felt dizzy, as if he had been in a sauna for a long time.
Not only was it hot, but it also felt like there was a lack of oxygen.
The second half of the game lasted only five minutes, but it felt like a passing day.
The same goes for big men such as Hibbert and West, who feel a little unlucky when running.
"Why is it so hot?"
"When will it be fixed?"
The Spurs, who were fighting the Pacers, also encountered similar problems, but they seemed to be more adaptable than the Pacers.
Sweat soaked the jersey, but it couldn't stop Tony Parker's attack.
The sweat falling from his eyebrows blocked his vision. As soon as George Hill blinked, Parker broke in instantly. The "French trot" without passing the ball directly entered the Pacers' paint area. Duncan's pick and roll was in place.
Parker, who completed the throw before, had a smile on his face.
"Whoosh!"
"The Spurs' move is pretty solid."
Watching everything on the court, Barkley, who hosted the game, praised: "They used pick-and-rolls like this so skillfully, Duncan's position was very good, and Parker hardly expended too much energy when attacking.
The Pacers should make adjustments, George Hill restricted Parker too little."
Barkley's "suggestion" was not heard by the Pacers. Lin Shaojie ran out of position in the backcourt and received a pass from George Hill at the midline.
Leonard, who has extensive defensive experience, immediately realized that No. 13 in front of him wanted to break through again.
It was impossible to pass the ball because he was the fastest among the Pacers players and everyone else was behind him.
It was so hot, how come he didn't faint? Paul George seemed like he couldn't stand it!
"Let's see how Lynn handles this ball?"
Buckley quickly explained.
Lin Shaojie, who was holding the ball, dribbled the ball with his hips twice in a row. When Paul George was about to pass by him, Lin Shaojie passed the ball in a gesture.
Although he repeatedly told himself that it was impossible for Lynn to pass the ball, Leonard still glanced out of the corner of his eye instinctively, and the defensive direction of his feet also focused on that side.
"Breakthrough!"
Lin Shaojie's left foot kicked the ground. Leonard only showed a slight flaw, but Lin Shaojie seized the opportunity and broke through from his side in an instant.
"It's so beautiful! Lynn once again showed off his one-step skills, and Leonard didn't even have a chance to make up defense."
After breaking through Leonard's defense, Lin Shaojie faced Parker's defensive lineup. Under such circumstances, the "French Trot" could not stop the opponent's shooting.
In front of the three-point line, Lin Shaojie stopped for a jumper and completed the shot. Parker just stretched out his hand to show off, turned around and watched the basketball enter the frame.
"Whoosh!"
Seeing Parker wiping sweat not far from his eyes, Lin Shaojie said suddenly.
"It's pretty hot, isn't it?"
Parker didn't say anything, but ran back to catch the ball.
The "sudden" heat obviously disrupted the offensive rhythm of both sides, but the Spurs seemed to have been prepared for it. In other words, their tactics were executed beautifully and were not affected by these foreign objects at all.
Looking back at the Pacers, whether the players' shots or the offensive and defensive lineups are affected to a greater or lesser extent.
Especially Paul George, the team's second-in-command, is very physically fit and has even been asked to rest and replenish his fluids. This is something that doesn't happen very often.
The only thing that no one can see is the Pacers' number 13.
If we talk about previous games, Lin Shaojie's role as the "main attacker" was a tactical arrangement. Restricting Lin En is equivalent to restricting the Pacers.
So now, after the start of the second half, Lin Shaojie, as the Pacers' main attacker, has no choice but to do so.
Paul George's condition has seriously declined. The hot temperature has caused big problems in his running and shooting. The Pacers' offensive burden completely falls on Lin Shaojie.
Hibbert on the inside?
Forget it, Duncan is not just standing there for decoration.
But player No. 13 didn't seem to feel anything at all. His running pace was exactly the same as before. The feeling of being faster than other players became more and more obvious.
Lin Shaojie, who had similar scores throughout the first half, actually scored 17 points in the third quarter.
The "total offense, total defense" Spurs couldn't defend this guy.
"Why do I feel something is wrong? Lynn doesn't seem to be affected?"
Popovich heard the assistant's voice in his ears, and his eyes were incomprehensible.
Lin Shaojie's shooting is not just from outside the three-point line. With his high outside shooting percentage, it is nothing to take the opportunity to steal some fruits of victory during the counterattack, but when the guy got the basketball, he actually shot again inside and outside the paint area.
When shooting from mid-range, you can see the difference.
Leonard will definitely not lock down the core of the Pacers, but seeing Leonard lose his position again and again shows that he is also beginning to be affected by the rising temperature.
Duncan's defense was timely and even forced Lin Shaojie to pass the basketball, but the Pacers' George Hill could see his skill at this time.
Lin Shaojie catches the ball, pretends to shoot, and then drives the basketball inside again. Lin Shaojie catches the ball again and shakes off his opponent, either leaning back or stepping back.
Just these two moves have already scored a lot of points in front of Duncan.
Looking back at the Spurs, their offense is very organized, but there is a fatal problem. The Spurs today, no, the Spurs felt terrible in the second half.
Except for Duncan and Parker, the other players were not accurate at all, even Manu Ginobili who came on the bench was like this. You knew the Spurs were starting to fall into a scoring drought.
"Quick, take advantage of the break to contact those people and ask them to repair the equipment as soon as possible."
Popovich said anxiously, looking at the end of the third quarter, but the Spurs' point difference was gradually widened by the Pacers.
It seems that the Pacers only have Lin Shaojie as their main offensive force. With this player, not only did the point difference not narrow, the point difference even reached double digits.
Indoors, Larry Bird, who came to watch the game, smiled and said nothing.
Isn't it because the air conditioner on site started not cooling and was broken?
This kind of trick was a bad one for the Celtics back then.
How Bird defeated the Lakers with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Magic Johnson was exactly the same. The Spurs were copying a cat.
Don't let anyone say who did it.
Larry Bird's "great achievements" have long been far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Some people remember these things about him, and some people don't.
Lynn's training was so abnormal, but Larry Bird never felt that it had any big impact just to increase the temperature.
Look at the points that little guy got. A person can beat the Spurs under such circumstances. He is definitely taking advantage of a "harsh" environment to realize his personal dream.
Looking at the team, even though Lin Shaojie is one of the rookies with a high salary, for the team as a whole, it means spending money on groceries to get top-quality Wagyu beef.
The Pacers are making a lot of money this season.
Paul George left the game early and took a break, and Danny Granger took his place. The two of them occupy almost the same position on the court and have similar functions.
Of course, with Danny Granger's current state, his playing time in each game is less than twenty minutes, which is still sporadic.
Danny Granger, who originally waited until "garbage" time to play, was brought forward earlier than expected. No one expected that Paul George suffered from heat stroke due to this damn refrigeration equipment problem.
The Spurs even sent ice cubes to the home team first to cool down, and then took their time to give it to the Pacers. Why didn't they wait until Paul George fainted before sending it over?
If it weren't for his demeanor, Frank would have taken off his suit and started cursing. Now he felt like there was at least a liter of sweat in his suit.
The Pacers he coached have never encountered such a situation. If the last defeat was because of him, the Pacers were actually troubled by the Spurs' "foul" tactics. He also made a review after the game.
"My mentality is not very good. I feel like the opponent is constantly torturing me. It is my problem, so I will return it in the next game.
I never expected that such a situation would happen to them on the court, and I will definitely take measures next time."
So if the Pacers failed in this game, it was definitely because he was too "immature" as a head coach. No one thought that the Spurs would "trick their own people" in order to win!
It’s just playing ball, no one expected this to happen, playing ball with ice, no one can do it!
Fortunately, Lin Shaojie did a great job. 17 points may not seem like much, but so far, the Spurs have only scored 15 points, and the original seven-point difference has been reduced to 9 points.
If he hits another shot before the end of the game, the point difference will break double.
On the other hand, is Lin Shaojie hot on the court?
Of course it's hot, but it doesn't feel like Paul George did.
Look at the expectant eyes of so many people, do you want to defeat yourself just because of a little bit of heat?
Lin Shaojie on the court even took a leisurely look at the old fox outside the court, but the other party didn't notice at all.
Lin Shaojie always felt that Popovich seemed to have forgotten one thing. His talent was unusual and he wanted to rely on this enthusiasm to defeat him. Did he make some mistakes?
In my daily training, I have a "mask" training method that continuously reduces oxygen intake. That method not only reduces oxygen intake, but also heat. It can easily make people irritable, lose their mind and make them angry.
It's like an ordinary person wearing a three-layer mask in the summer and asking you how you feel. If you can avoid such self-abuse, Lin Shaojie is somewhat of a jerk.
Now Lin Shaojie can see that all the players in the field, including himself, are deep in the "hot" range. Everyone seems to be covered with a veil, airtight.
.
Even though there are many talented people who have been playing for a short time at this time, think about it, in a stadium with nearly 20,000 people, there is a problem with the refrigeration equipment, and every breath comes out with a temperature of 30 degrees. In just a short time, the on-site
The temperature began to rise rapidly.
The human body is highly sensitive to temperature.
Some people even ate something flavorful during the intermission.
Look at these groups of players with large pores and sweaty backs. If you get close, you can smell the special smell of some people. It feels so sour when you play ball.
It would be better if it were an outdoor court. At least the outdoor air would circulate. How can this indoor arena circulate? Just rely on the air volume of the fresh air system to cool down?
Lin Shaojie just pretended that none of this happened.
The basketball became more and more flexible in his hands.
Seeing that the point difference did not narrow, but began to widen. The most important thing was that the Pacers' No. 3 pick was not affected at all. The longer the game lasted, the better he performed. Popovich quickly faced the assistant coach during the break.
Whispering, I hope the air conditioner will be repaired soon.
The Spurs, who are bigger and heavier, seem to be unable to bear it.
Popovich shot himself in the foot, and his cleverness was misled by his cleverness.
By the time the third quarter ended and the refrigeration equipment at the AT&T Center had not been repaired, Popovich felt like getting angry.
Players who had enjoyed ice treatment during the break began to wilt less than three minutes after taking the field, and their movements when delivering and receiving the ball began to be affected.
Not to mention that the scoring efficiency of both sides was appalling, the Pacers' No. 13 was like a mouse in a honeypot, feeling very comfortable.
I got several steals alone.
"Excuse me, why are you so slow? I don't want to give the opponent a quadruple-double in the finals!"
"Well, in order not to be discovered by the alliance, we made things look as if they were real. The lines are really burned out. Rewiring is very troublesome. You have to open the casing without using the tools..."
"I don't want to know how much trouble it will be, I just want to know when it will be better."
"It will take at least ten minutes."
"Shit, the game will be over in ten minutes."
Although he knows that Popovich is talking nonsense, even if it is fixed in ten minutes, Popovich can make good use of every timeout. It will take time to cool down such a large venue.
Frank, who originally felt caught off guard and looked like an old fox, was now at ease, sitting as steady as a rock in a deformed suit.
Lin Shaojie also rarely started to sweat on the court, but compared with the players around him, his image is undoubtedly much better.
The short hair is okay, but the slightly longer hair is almost close to the scalp. If Ginobili still has the same "long hair" appearance as before, I'm afraid his image will be terrible.
Seeing Leonard, who was guarding him, panting, Lin Shaojie directly aimed at the Spurs inside and started to break through.
No matter how stupid you are, you know how to make a choice. Frank and others made guesses about the situation at the Spurs' home court during the break. Ninety-nine percent of the players in the field were affected, and everyone must be suspicious.
But Lin Shaojie was not greatly affected, which is a good thing.
"You can lose the team battle, but Linn must survive."
Look at now, the Spurs with a full lineup can't guard Lin Shaojie at all. Facing Lin Shaojie who can make mid-range shots and penetrate inside, Duncan's defense is very good.
The lineup of one senior and four juniors was originally quite good, but facing Lin Shaojie at this time, the Spurs suddenly felt like they couldn't defend themselves and "what am I doing?"
Duncan didn't dare to take action because he was afraid of fouling. The No. 13 on the opposite side was not a good bird. He could only raise his arms to block the opponent's shooting space. It was a completely passive defense.
Leonard also showed a passive "drag" state. His small defensive movements of pulling and loosening his hands, how could he stop Lin Shaojie who was taking off with all his strength.
The exaggerated take-off height gave Lin Shaojie plenty of time to adjust his shot.
Lin Shaojie, who was flying in the air, seemed to think about whether to shoot from Duncan's left or right, and finally decided that it would be safer to wait for the "Stone Buddha" to land before shooting.
In this way, the audience watched Lin Shaojie take off a little slower, and then "fly" and "fly" in the air. When Duncan fell and completely exposed the basket, the Pacers wearing No. 13 completed the show.
The final throw.
"Whoosh!"
The pleasant sound made several fans sitting in the auditorium instantly become excited.
"Ouch!" The voice sounded like a wolf howling.
This kind of behavior of flying in the air and finishing the attack just before falling almost to the ground is such an annoying thing.
Before these people had a chance to breathe, the Spurs' counterattack went awry again.
Parker took the ball with his front foot. When he was forced by George Hill, I don't know if it was because of Parker's hand slipping. When he changed direction to pass, the basketball hit his foot. Such a mistake occurred near the midline. That was
fatal.
Watching the basketball rebound, Parker felt lost at that moment. He didn't even dare to chase back.
Sweat couldn't stop falling, and when it passed through my eyes, it looked like tears.
George Hill was so sad and happy that he completed a beautiful defense. He never had such a magnificent performance when facing Parker. It was a big send-off today.
Ginobili rushed over, and the two almost fought together. George Hill wanted to prove his ability as a "defensive warrior."
The snipe and the clam competed for the fisherman's profit. When the basketball was squeezed out of their arms, Lin Shaojie snatched it away and ran towards the Spurs' half court.
Leonard was chasing after him, but Lin Shaojie stopped suddenly and took a step back. Leonard slipped and fell.
Less than four or five meters away from Popovich's eyes, Lin Shaojie shot that three-pointer.
In the picture in front of Popovich's eyes, his beloved disciple fell down and looked in a mess. The leaping figure of No. 13 was picturesque. The media not far away held up their cameras and took pictures "click" and "click".
stop.
At the same time, Popovich heard the sound of joy in his ears.
"Okay, okay, the air conditioner is fixed!"
"It's no use repairing it now!"
Popovich didn't say anything. The point difference had already reached double digits, and the air-conditioning hadn't been felt yet. The replacement of Split made the Spurs' lineup return to its old ways at the last moment.
Two and three zone defense!
The tactics that were used against more than 90% of the teams were of no use against Lin Shaojie who was in hot form. The air-conditioning came slowly, but the players' physical reactions took a little time to adapt.
The Spurs' seemingly tough defense has actually reached the stage of running out of gas. How can a group of old people on the court who are over a hundred years old together compete with Lin Shaojie, a player who is less than twenty years old?
Lin Shaojie, who broke through again, held the ball in his right hand, turned around and switched to his left hand to complete the basket. His picturesque movements were like an artistic sketch.
The Duncan in front of him could no longer stop him. He was originally in good condition, but in the heat, he seemed to have aged ten years, no, five years in an instant.
Several fans who were still howling like wolves earlier started waving their jerseys.
"Sure, we will win this game, three to one, and we are close to winning the championship!"
