Almighty Athlete Chapter 24: Will not break
Los Angeles, the Lakers and the Spurs playoffs in the fourth game.
The Staples arena is full of people. For many Lakers fans, this may be the last Lakers game they saw this season.
Sorry, of course there will be. After all, I haven't seen the Lakers go further in the playoffs. However, being able to reach the playoffs is already a big surprise for the Lakers fans. No fan will complain that the Lakers stopped the playoff round. Although they are a little frustrated, they are still cheering for the Lakers. .
This competition is also a game after Zhang Guan recovers from injury.
In fact, Zhang Guan does not cause any serious injuries, it is just a general sprain. If it is placed in China, it may only be necessary to paste a plaster and rub an egg. Moreover, with Zhang Guan constitution, even if it is really injured Recover faster than the average person. However, Zhang Guan simply took the opportunity to rest for a few days.
Zhang Guan is also now, his play style is not compatible with Kobe, a team can not accommodate two Kobe, so Zhang Guan simply chose to hide, let Kobe lead the team to play, he knew that with the current Kobe can't lead his team to defeat the Spurs, so it's better to wait until Kobe can't carry it, and then come to clean up the mess.
The fact is exactly what Zhang Guan expected. Kobe scored a high score. Kobe tried his best, but the Lakers could not win. In the high-intensity confrontation of the playoffs, he is facing a defensive expert like Leonard, averaging more than 4 minutes per game, and more than forty shots in a game. Certainly there is no problem, but now Kobe is 36 years old, and because of the injury for most of the season, he can resist three games in a row, which is already very good.
Now, it’s Zhang Guan’s turn to clean up the mess.
Zhang Guan knows that this year's Spurs are impeccable both in lineup and tactical coordination. This does not require much detailed analysis, it can be reflected only through the record. A record of 62 wins and 2 losses in the regular season, a 4-2 victory over the Thunder in the playoffs and a 4-1 victory over the Heat in the Finals all prove this point. You must know that the Thunder two players of this year have reached the peak level; and the Heat Big Three are defending champions, and in the hands of the Spurs, they have all lost without suspense.
Zhang Guan feels that if you want to beat the Spurs for a few years in the series, it is not enough to have strength, talent, and tactical cooperation. What you need is more luck.
Luck means that all goals should be scored, and those that should not be scored can be blinded.
The luck of the running team is really unsolvable, not to mention the lack of nerve knife in the Lakers.
......
The Spurs clearly intend to sweep the Lakers 4-0, but at the Lakers home, this goal looks a bit difficult. The Lakers have fallen behind 3 o'clock and have to fight back in the fourth game to avoid being swept away.
After Zhang Guan replaced Comparables, the Lakers' offensive methods have also changed. Kobe is more of a jumper. Although the posture is picturesque, the hit rate is somewhat anxious. The Zhang Guan is better in physical fitness and mobility, so there will be more breakthroughs in holding the ball. Compared with the picturesque jumper, the ball breakthrough will definitely cause more damage, and it is easy to get a free throw by "touching the porcelain".
Free throwing is the least difficult of all offensive methods, and the highest percentage of hits. Harden is called the first point guard in the future, not because he has a higher shooting percentage than others, but because he is the league's first "touch porcelain" level. In the Rockets period, Harden shot around 44, compared to Wade's low shooting percentage of 47 in a season, 54 in high season, but Harden averaged more than 1o free throws per game, Wei Germany can only do it at its peak, and Wade at that time, and O'Neal got the championship ring.
Today, Zhang Guan has adopted a breakthrough method.
The Spurs are still afraid of this breakthrough. Duncan is older and his defensive three-pointer depends on his strength and seven-pointer on his experience; Split is averaging less blocks per game than many outside players. However, Leonard can make up for this deficiency in the vast majority, and the team defense on which the Spurs rely on survival is enough to deter those first-class breakthroughs.
Zhang Guan is undoubtedly the world's top breakout player. With only one Leonard, defending Zhang Guan is still a little difficult. Unconsciously, Duncan, Split and Leonard each took a foul, and the Lakers also suppressed the Spurs on the score.
"The breakthrough of Zhang Guan is really sharp, it is time to use that trick! It was originally a big meal prepared for James, but I did not expect to use it now." Vicki took the opportunity of a dead ball and took Leonard Shouted around and carefully arranged it.
The game restarted. Leonard did not continue to defend against Zhang Guan, but adopted a defensive way of taking a step back. The Spurs also used team defense tactics. As soon as Zhang Guan broke through, the package came immediately. Leonard and another player will cut off the Zhang Guan pass, while slowing the impact of Zhang Guan, and then Split or Duncan will appear in the back to defend.
Banding, making up defenses, teamwork, this is the Spurs' consistent way of defending superstars. If faced with an opponent who is good at breaking through, the Spurs can take a step back or even two steps back to defend, so that each breakthrough of the breakthrough player is faced with two or even three blocks. And if it is an opponent who is good at shooting, the Spurs' rotation defense can also interfere with their lack of shooting space.
In this year’s playoffs, this defensive approach has left many superstars in desperation. Durant’s three-point shooting in the Eastern Conference finals was less than 30% of the Spurs’ defense. In the finals, Leon Nader limited James by success and got fvp.
Now, the Spurs use the same defensive approach on Zhang Guan.
......
How to break the Spurs' defense system is a topic that every coach in the league is studying. The Spurs' defense is the most targeted defense. From the past examples, the best way to break the Spurs' defense system is to make a precise mid-range jumper. So for a long time, Kobe was known as the Spurs. Nemesis.
However, the emergence of Leonard complements the Spurs' weakness. Leonard's defensive ability can at least limit the accuracy of those accurate mid-range pitchers. Dacheng. It's a pity that Duncan's age is slightly older~IndoMTL.com~ otherwise it's really a bit confusing.
The Warriors of the future have used pick-and-roll to break the Spurs' perimeter defense. Of course, this must be based on the Warriors' high shooting percentage. In addition, there are people like Stephenson who rely on intuition to break the Spurs. This is purely shit.
And tonight, Zhang Guan took another way to break the Spurs’ defense, one word: fast!
The martial arts of the world, but not breaking fast.
While the ball breakthrough is blocked, it is not necessarily that the opponent does not eat, it is likely that the breakthrough is not fast enough! When the time is fast enough, there is no need to shake people, only one step is needed.
Like Iverson’s step, everyone knew he was going to break through, but he couldn’t prevent that step.
......
"Beep!" The whistle sounded, Leonard turned his head to look at the basket, but now Split was crying, raising his hand.
"Tiago (Split) made five offences! Zhang Guan is so fast, I can't keep up with this rhythm!" Leonard knew that this ball is his own black pot, precisely because If he didn't prevent Zhang Guan's breakthrough, then Split would be fouled.
Zhang Guan once again hit the free throw line and then made two free throws.
"This is the 18th free throw of Zhang Guan! 16 of 18 free throws. With the free throw, Zhang Guan scored 16 points."
"Isn't it, Split alone, gave Zhang Guan1o free throws."
"Split came off, and the Spurs were relying on Duncan alone. It looks like the Lakers will not be swept away!"
Victory sighed before the bench.
"How can there be such a fast guy! Pure reliability will break my defense system!"
Victoria knows that in this game, the Spurs are already fierce.
On April 28, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 112 to 1o5 and pulled the score to 1 to 3.
