NBA: The Talent Burst from the Start

With Lin Lei taking the initiative, Leonard was naturally uncomfortable.

According to Popovich's tactics, after some implementation, Lin Lei remained unmoved.

In desperation, Leonard finally chose to pass the ball to Ginobili, who rushed to his side.

Seeing Leonard pass the ball out, although Popovich didn't say much, he was still very disappointed in his heart.

What he was disappointed with was not Leonard's offensive ability, but that the tactics he had previously arranged did not work the first time.

In Popovich's tactic this time, it was Leonard to attract Lin Lei's attention and try to pull him to the outside.

In this way, although the Spurs have no absolute advantage over the other four players in the face of the four Lakers players, they will definitely not be so stretched as they are now.

As long as Leonard can attract Lin Lei's attention to the Spurs for 2-3 seconds, "1900" can take this opportunity to complete the rotation of the ball and score the first time.

Facts have proved that Lin Lei, as the No. 1 player in the league today, is by no means only a super scoring ability, and even the ability to read the game and defense is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

With Popovich's tactical failure, the results on the field began to become confusing.

The offense has to be played by the Spurs players on the court.

But once this attack fails, Duncan's previous mobilization will become useless.

Glancing at Lin Lei, Popovich couldn't help turning his head to look at Phil Jackson in the direction of the Lakers bench.

Popovich's heart was full of envy and jealousy, and he couldn't help thinking to himself:

"Old man, what are you proud of, without Lin Lei, our Spurs would have won your Lakers!"

In this idea of ​​Popovich, there are naturally many ingredients that can't eat grapes and say sour grapes.

But it is more about the analysis and helplessness of the facts.

I have to admit that Phil Jackson was very lucky. In the 1980s, he met the first man in the league, Michael Jordan.

The Bulls team built with Michael Jordan as the core can be described as very strong, ruling the entire 1990s and winning 6 championships.

Although Phil Jackson's tactics are also very good, but the players have a lot to do.

They not only have top players such as Michael Jordan, but also Scott Pippen, the strongest second-in-command in history and guarding the inside line, and Rodman, who regards rebounding as his life.

The combination of the players produced a very strong chemical reaction, and Phil Jackson's triangle tactics were also perfectly implemented.

It is because of the existence of top players in the league like Michael Jordan and Pippen that Phil Jackson won 6 championships.

Turning to the 1990s, at the beginning of 2000, Phil Jackson joined the Lakers, and he met the first center of the league at that time, Shaquille O'Neal.

The peak O'Neal at that time was completely unmatched in the interior. It is no exaggeration to say that even if Chamberlain was in that era, he probably wouldn't be able to take too much advantage when facing O'Neal.

Coupled with the later first person in the league, Kobe was also selected by the Lakers to his team, and the combination of one inside and one outside was also invincible.

On the other hand, the Spurs, apart from Tim Duncan, didn't have any decent perimeter players at the time.

Even so, the Spurs brought them a lot of trouble when facing the Lakers.

If Kobe or O'Neal were handed over to Popovich to coach, the old man is also very confident that his achievements will definitely surpass that of Phil Jackson.

O'Neal finally left, and the Eastern Spurs also took the opportunity to rise and won three championships in the past few years.

Just when Popovich was complacent and ready to continue to win the championship in 2008, he did not expect that Gasol was actually traded to the Lakers by a robbery.

The Lakers lineup at that time was very reasonable and young, while the Spurs players were more seriously injured.

Coupled with the ups and downs of the state, it was only in the past two years that the Lakers regained the throne of the Western Championship.

This season, Popovich and the Spurs' players entered the state very early.

In addition, players such as Leonard and Dior and Gary Niel were discovered by the old man.

It makes him feel that his current lineup may be the strongest and most competitive year in the past five years.

However, Popovich's wish came to nothing again, and Lin Lei had such a strong dominant ability as soon as he arrived in the NBA.

He has been in the vocational education league for so many years, and even Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant were not as strong as Lin Lei when he first entered the league.

But in this case, Popovich still used his lifelong coaching philosophy to shape the Spurs team in his hand, and finally played a 5,5 open situation with the Lakers.

But just when Popovich believed that in the playoffs, even when facing the Lakers, the Spurs still have a fighting chance, their inside line has been reinforced unprecedentedly, and Dayao joined in.

Thinking of these trades and the draft makes Popovich feel particularly angry.

"This is not a deal at all, it's simply robbery, no, it's a complete robbery!

If I trade these Phil Jackson players with me, I'll definitely win twice as much as him!"

When Popovich thought of this, although there was some resentment in his heart, he was more helpless.

Having this Spurs team has made him very satisfied, even if this lineup is not as good as the Lakers from the current situation, but he has no regrets.

Just as Popovich was thinking about it, the Spurs completed the rotation of the ball again and passed the ball to Duncan in the inside for the first time.

At the same time, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili went to the inside, assisted Duncan, and opened up a certain space.

What the Spurs are best at is this team-based substitution tactic.

When defending, they can always rely on mutual cooperation to create a favorable situation for themselves as much as possible.

When it comes to attacking, you can also use the coordination of the lineup to allow Tim Duncan to face small players against 5.9 squares, thereby improving Duncan's scoring success rate.

In the final analysis, the core player of the Spurs is still Tim Duncan, and the team's various tactics are also developed around him.

When the situation is deadlocked and the team's offense is at a loss, handing the ball over to Duncan is definitely the wisest choice.

This time, however, the Spurs' strategy was completely ineffective.

Because they are in charge of defense after switching positions, Duncan's perimeter player is Lin Lei.

Sure enough, when tactics encounter top players, sometimes they don't produce good results. This is the ability brought by players.

After seeing Lin Lei, Duncan also had some headaches in his heart, but now that the team can't open the situation, as the core of the team, he must come forward.

Finally, after taking a deep breath, Duncan started the most difficult singles in his career!
