The Pope of Basketball Community

**Vitch has not won the best coach, but many people call him a master tactician, not only because he trained the superstar Tim Duncan, but also because he has strong adaptability on the spot and can make timely tactical adjustments on the court. , targeting the opponent's weaknesses.

Every year when experts predict the new season and evaluate each team's lineup, the Spurs are not favored. But until the end, they always achieve good results. Many people believe that the league owes Duncan an MVP because the Spurs' record in 2001 was better than that of the 76ers. Duncan's role on both ends of the offense and defense was much greater than Iverson's efficiency.

Because of the butterfly effect of Yang Rui's rebirth, Duncan is destined to be unlucky. He should have won the award this season, but now his teammates are worse than before, the team's record is average, and the regular season MVP will not be given to him.

At this time, **Vicci still had some admiration for Yang Rui, because he felt that the Wizards lineup was not very good, and two generals were injured, so winning mainly depends on the coach. Yang Rui called a timeout every time the Spurs were about to open up the score, adjusted tactics, made substitutions, and then stabilized the situation.

Yang Rui attacked when it was time to step up the offense, and sent in blue-collar players when it was time to defend. He made very timely substitutions and did not give his opponents a chance to make a run.

The Spurs guarded Jordan closely, and the people who performed well today were Boozer and Alston. This is exciting because both of them were unknowns before the start of the season.

**Veach arranged an offensive tactic, sent out several pitchers on the team, and replaced Tinsley.

Tinsley is ready to fight. Like Alston, his ball-handling skills are top-notch. In his rookie season, he scored a triple-double of 19 points, 11 rebounds and 16 assists. He was selected to the All-Rookie Second Team, but his poor Shooting hindered his path to stardom.

Tinsley averaged 8.3 points and 7 assists per game this season, and it is difficult to score in double figures. When the team needs to play successfully and score points, **Vic will usually let him sit on the bench.

The Spurs' tactics are very simple. Duncan receives the ball in the low post and plays alone. No one double-teams him. If he attracts a double-team, he passes it to Cole in the bottom corner or Smith on the side.

On the Wizards' side, Yang Rui deployed a defensive lineup.

Hamilton, Bell, Jordan, Wallace, Haywood. He guessed that the Spurs would probably let the star play one-on-one.

The game started. Cole passed the ball to Smith under Hamilton's personal interference. The latter went to the right to face Bell and found the space with difficulty, and passed the ball to Duncan.

Duncan leaned against Haywood for a moment, swayed his left shoulder slightly, turned to face the frame in the middle, raised the ball with both hands and made another fake move. Heywood did not jump, raised his hands to interfere, and raised his center of gravity. Duncan leaned on Haywood and threw the ball to the basket with one hand with his right hand.

Duncan has solid basic skills and a simple style of play. He knows how to use his own advantages. With his 231cm wingspan, he can use throwers to prevent opponents from jumping too slowly and unable to block shots. Haywood's defense was relatively good and he could only interfere slightly, and the ball went hollow into the net. 101 to 102.

Duncan had no expression on his face when he returned to defense, as if it was natural to score such a crucial goal.

His average points per game are not very high, and he is not considered the strongest super scorer. He belongs to the core of "Teammates can do it, and if my teammates fail, I will come again." He is unambiguous when he needs to attack difficulties.

When the Wizards attacked, Haywood stopped covering the side and prepared to grab rebounds in the low post with Wallace. The two perimeters were separated, and Jordan held the ball in the middle for a one-on-one challenge.

This is the simplest tactic. Yang Rui sent two blue-collar insiders to strengthen the defense. He can only rely on the personal abilities of the stars. At this time, it is difficult for outside players to move to get open space because the inside lacks mid-range shooting ability. will be shorted.

Jordan dribbled in the middle to press time. In the last five seconds, he started to rush to the left. He took two steps to make an emergency stop and hit Bowen for an emergency jumper. Jordan has done this action countless times in his life, and the shooting rhythm has been integrated into his blood. Bowen jumped up and closed his eyes to no avail, and the ball went in. 103 to 102.

The home audience cheered together, and **Vicci called a timeout again.

Zhang Lili, who was live broadcasting the game, sighed: "This is Jordan. He is so great. He can still shoot key shots at the age of 40. The Wizards are suffering from injuries. Now the team needs him to step up and score. His knees are injured and the cartilage is worn out. Awesome, but he is still the core of the team this season, averaging 18.7 points per game."

Xu Jicheng said: "The pressure is on the Spurs' side, and there are only 25 seconds left. I think **Vicci has two options, a fast break, and if he doesn't score, he can use foul tactics; or he can press the time until the end, which is more risky. . If you don’t score, you lose. If you make a shot, the offensive time left for the Wizards will be very short.”

Yang Rui did not intend to passively defend to the death. He sent an attacking lineup of Stoudemire, Boozer, Jordan, Hamilton, and Alston. The Spurs use a small ball tactic, with Malikros playing power forward and Duncan at center.

As soon as the foul ball was issued, the Wizards used a pressing strategy. The Spurs were very uncomfortable because the point guard sent Cole.

**Veach needs Cole to open up space beyond the three-point line, but his ball-handling ability is really not very good. After receiving the ball, Cole was closely followed by Alston. He passed the ball to Bowen in a hurry and almost made a mistake. Bowen staggered and transferred the ball to Rose who retreated to the outside. The latter attracted Stoudemire's defense and hit the ball. To Duncan in the low post on the right.

Duncan took the ball with his back and beat Boozer alone. This was a good matchup. However, as soon as Duncan caught the ball and leaned forward, Boozer fouled and sent him to the free throw line.

Yang Rui's plan is to press hard and cause the opponent to make a mistake. If Duncan successfully catches the ball, he will foul and let him make a free throw early. The team will still have enough time to complete an attack.

Yang Rui knew that it was unlikely that Boozer could defend Duncan, but the "Stone Buddha" was not always stable and he had weaknesses.

Duncan's free throw percentage was less than 70% in the first three seasons he entered the league. In the 2000-01 season, he even shot only 61.8% from the free throw line. The current 70.2% is not high.

At this time, Duncan was on the free throw line. Duncan was under great pressure. He made the first free throw and missed the second. Boozer grabbed the rebound and held it in his arms, waiting for Alston to respond.

The Wizards have a clear advantage. The attack time is 18.8 seconds. If the time is pressed well, a goal will be a decisive victory. If not, it can also go into overtime.

Alston's role came into play. He dribbled the ball lightly across the half court. Cole couldn't stop it. He didn't even dare to get too close for fear of being passed.

Until the last four seconds, Boozer moved to the outside for a pick-and-roll, and Alston held the ball to get rid of Cole. The Spurs were in a zone defense, and Alston walked to the right side of Duncan to attract the defense. At this time, Boozer moved to the free throw line and received Alston's pass.

In the last attack, Yang Rui gave the opportunity to the second-round pick instead of Jordan, who was guarded by Bowen.

Boozer got a good one-on-one opportunity. He caught the ball and leaned against Rose, turned to the left, and shot an "anti-cannon" jump shot. His movements were coherent and his touch was soft. Rose was only 201cm tall, and there was physical contact between the two. In this situation, you can't take off to cover the ball, you can only block your eyes to interfere.

The ball drew a high arc and hit the net hollowly. 105 to 103.

The final whistle sounded at the same time, and Boozer completed the buzzer-beater. The fans stood up and cheered. On the bench, the players rushed into the field excitedly.

Alston jumped onto Boozer's back excitedly, and Jordan and his teammates surrounded Boozer to celebrate the victory.

At this moment, Jordan truly integrated into the Wizards, and they formed a great team!
