Sports Supervillain

Before the first game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs, a very interesting thing happened.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Popovich said in an interview: "It is undeniable that Ye is an extremely great player. He just won the scoring title of the season. If there is no accident, the honor of MVP in the regular season will also be given to him. In the bag.

"Ye, possesses abilities beyond those of many superstars, he is really hard to beat, but..."

"In the history of the NBA, almost none of the players who won the scoring title and the MVP honor failed to win the championship.

Popovich is not the first head coach to make such remarks.

George Karl once said: "It is difficult for a team with a scoring champion to win a championship."

Because George Karl feels that when a player wins the scoring title in a team, it means that their distribution of ball rights is unreasonable. Most of the ball power is concentrated on a certain player, and their team configuration is unreasonable.

Although there is not much evidence, even when Michael Jordan won six championships, he also won the honor of scoring champion, but Michael Jordan averaged more than 35 points per game in the season, and he failed to win. champion.

Although Popovich felt that the Los Angeles Lakers had a high probability of failing to defend the title, he made it clear: "There is a big gap between the San Antonio Spurs and the Los Angeles Lakers in terms of overall strength. It is very difficult for us to beat them to advance, but we will do our best to go."

When the reporter asked: "Is there any way you can restrict Ye?"

Popovich smiled ghostly.

Spread your hands.

Shaking his head again and again, he said, "There is no way to restrict Ye. We can only pray that he is not in shape."

The old man was very bad.

what he said.

Don't even trust punctuation.

Popovich may be holding back some bad moves.

But you have to admit that some of Popovich's words are correct, and the overall strength of the San Antonio Spurs has declined significantly.

offseason.

Forced to swap star players with the Toronto Raptors, DeMar DeRozan's overall strength is inferior to Leonard's.

"Demon" `Knife' Manu Ginobili retires.

"French little sports car" Tony Parker left the team.

Declare that the era of "GDP" is completely over.

Losing three former absolute core players, even though Popovich has discovered many potential new stars, coupled with LaMarcus Aldridge who is still at the All-Star level, the San Antonio Spurs are not as competitive as before.

The two sides compete in the first round.

The San Antonio Spurs can only field the following starting lineups:

Point guard: Bryn Forbes

Shooting Guard: Derrick White

Small Forward: DeMar DeRozan

Power Forward: LaMarcus Aldridge

Center: Jacob Pueltl

The starting five for the Los Angeles Lakers are

Point Guard: Derrick Rose

Shooting guard: Ye Fei

Small Forward: Carmelo Anthony

Power Forward: PJ Tucker

Center: Larry Nance

Regardless of the overall strength of the players, or star power, the Los Angeles Lakers are much higher than the San Antonio Spurs.

thus.

The game starts from the beginning.

The Los Angeles Lakers firmly control the initiative on the court.

as expected.

Popovich played in the second quarter and immediately made a move.

For the first quarter, the omnipotent Ye Fei and the scheming Popovich resorted to a shameless shark-slashing tactic.

Once Ye Fei takes the ball to attack, the San Antonio Spurs player will quickly foul and send him to the free throw line.

If one person can't hold Ye Fei, then two or three players will play together. Anyway, Ye Fei won't be able to throw the ball easily. They would rather use free throws to test Ye Fei.

Los Angeles Lakers fans finally understand why Popovich said such words when he was interviewed by the media.

The audience booed one after another, but Popovich still couldn't stop.

He brought the end of the bench players on the field early.

Young players such as Lonnie Walker and Dejounte Murray have only one purpose on the court. They follow Ye Fei closely and use fouls on Ye Fei to prevent Ye Fei from scoring normally.

The unscrupulous San Antonio Spurs even took the initiative to hug Ye Fei just after halftime.

Don't let the Los Angeles Lakers at all, organize the offense well, and disrupt the offensive and defensive rhythm of the Los Angeles Lakers.

More than once in public, in front of reporters, Popovich, who hates three-pointers, has always made San Antonio Spurs players constantly looking for opportunities to shoot three-pointers.

Most of their offense is based on three-pointers. Even DeMar DeRozan, who doesn't like shooting three-pointers, made three shots from outside the three-point line and hit one goal.

Relying on the precise three-pointers of Davis Bertans, Patty Mills, Derek White and others, the San Antonio Spurs continued to close the score,

Although Ye Fei was at the free throw line, withstood the test and hit most of the free throws, but the San Antonio Spurs couldn't hold back the three-pointers.

At the end of the half, the San Antonio Spurs chased the score to 53 to 58, only 5 points behind the Los Angeles Lakers.

Back at halftime.

Easy side to fight again.

The San Antonio Spurs did it again.

Los Angeles Lakers' first attack, Derek White was passed by Ye Fei with one step, knowing that he couldn't defend himself, he hurriedly called his teammates for help, he finally hugged Ye Fei from behind and sent him up again free throw line.

Ye Fei is not like a Xiaoyugan player who was driven crazy by Popovich's shark-slashing tactics, and his hands would shake when he made free throws.

He made two free throws steadily.

53 to 60.

San Antonio Spurs fast serve baseline.

After Bryn Fox scored halftime, he couldn't find a good offensive opportunity.

Fall into positional warfare.

The San Antonio Spurs players continued to cooperate with the pick-and-roll, cut and ran, LaMarcus Aldridge bounced out, pocketed an open space, received a pass from his teammate, and shot a three-pointer directly.

Although Ye Fei had expected it, he was half a beat too late and failed to block Marcus Aldridge's three-pointer. (of Zhao's)

"々唰!"

The ball crashed into the net.

56 to 60.

The San Antonio Spurs got closer again.

The Los Angeles Lakers thought that the San Antonio Spurs would use the shark-slashing tactic again, but they didn't do it immediately.

The Los Angeles Lakers' offensive rhythm is a bit out of sync.

Ye Fei just received the ball.

Bryn Forbes immediately hugged Ye Fei.

No foul counts.

The Los Angeles Lakers had no choice but to send another sideline ball. Carmelo Anthony received the ball and couldn't hold it back. A three-pointer bounced out of the frame.

The five players of the San Antonio Spurs quickly retracted to the basket, firmly stuck in their positions, and protected the backcourt rebound.

In the process of transitioning from defense to offense.

DeMar DeRozan turned and scored with a fadeaway jumper.

58 to 60.

Zhuge Popovich really lived up to his reputation, and various tricks emerged one after another.

But in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are paper tigers. .
