Moreover, in the video of Lian Dao's game, the defensive strategy of flopping and deceiving offensive fouls rarely appeared, and then he thought of Ginobili, which made Popovich think carefully.
Popovich had a gloomy face, and when he saw Ginobili's questioning gaze, he shook his head.
At the same time, he signaled Ginobili not to be nervous, and continued with the previously formulated strategy.
Popovich thinks that Lian Dao should be a coincidence this time.
Lian Dao attacked with the ball, and Jefferson faced Lian Dao as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He constantly adjusted his defensive steps nervously.
Although Jefferson tried his best to defend well, he was still given a clean pass by Lian Dao who changed direction and accelerated the breakthrough.
Lian Dao, who went straight to the basket, did not dunk directly, but suddenly stopped for a layup.
Duncan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly opened his arms to take off to block, but suddenly found that Lian Dao didn't take off at all, it was just his fake layup just now.
Seeing that after Duncan was touched, Lian Dao suddenly leaned forward at this moment, looking for a confrontation, but Duncan, who was landing, bumped into Lian Dao, and then Lian Dao threw the ball to the basket, and then staggered .
"Beep!"
Defensive foul!
"brush!"
The whistle blows, the ball goes in!
2+1!
Although Lian Dao doesn't often use fouls, it doesn't mean he can't. On the contrary, Lian Dao, who was influenced by the trend of fouls in later generations, is a real master of fouls.
Since the Spurs provoked this foul war, Lian Dao naturally wants to fight, in his own way, to deal with his own body, this is Lian Dao's strategy to fight!
Before you want to get rid of me, I will get rid of your Deng Daidai first.
Without Duncan, the Spurs will look like a girl without any clothes to the Knicks. The Knicks can come and go freely at any time!
Three years ago, Lian Dao's idea was basically difficult to realize.
You know, Duncan had the title of "Mr. Great Basic Skills" back then. Although he was not as gorgeous as players like Kobe, McGrady, Stoudemire, and Anthony in terms of technology, there was no extra movement between each move, and everything was simplified. Just one word "Stable!"
In the position of power forward, Duncan was basically the peak when he debuted. Even when facing Karl Malone, Garnett was not at all inferior. Nowitzki's Mavericks were beaten by the Spurs every year. , This also created Duncan's status as the league's number one power forward.
However, no matter how good a player is, there will be a time when he is old. Duncan, who is already 34 years old, is no longer as fit as he used to be. His speed is getting slower every year, and his jumping is deteriorating every year.
As long as Lian Dao gets inside, it's not too easy to draw a foul.
With less than 3 minutes left in the first quarter, Duncan was fouled again by Lian Dao. So far, this is his fifth foul. He fouled Lian Dao four times and Stoudemire Stoudemire. once.
Deng Daidai also understood why Lian Dao would foul him. He knew Popovich's tactics.
However, the dark-bellied Duncan stared at Lian Dao's hair with a pair of seemingly innocent eyes, and his big hands were about to move, as if he wanted to add a buff to Lian Dao at any time.
But Lian Dao was always on guard against Duncan's big hands. This guy's hands deal magic damage, so **** poisonous!
When Ginobili was touched by Duncan, there was no grass!
Lian Dao didn't want to be bald one day.
"Daidai, go down and rest, you see, I am the most considerate of you in the audience! I am a lot of age, and I don't know how to pay attention to my body."
"Beep!" The whistle sounded, and the Spurs called a timeout.
Popovich looked at Lian Dao with a headache, he was completely speechless by Lian Dao.
He originally wanted to use fouls to get rid of Lian Dao, but it would be good to get rid of Mao Lian Dao.
On the offensive end, Lian Dao's goal is to engage Duncan. The key is that they clearly know Lian Dao's purpose, and they just can't hide, unless Duncan stands there and watches Lian Dao's layup, or someone can really restrain Lian Dao on the defensive end. Rice breakthrough.
It is absolutely impossible for Duncan to stand there and watch Lian Dao layup. Duncan's old face will be lost.
On the defensive end, no one in the Spurs can restrain Lian Dao, unless the Spurs' facial paralysis comes to Nard later, and it can cause some troubles for Lian Dao.
Before the first quarter was over, Duncan was pushed down by Lian Dao.
All the Spurs players also know that there is probably nothing to do in this game!
Although their offensive core has moved outward, Duncan's importance to the Spurs has not diminished in the slightest.
Duncan is the basic condition for the smooth offense of the Spurs. Without Duncan to contain the interior, the Spurs' offense would not be smooth at all.
Jefferson also whispered at this time: "Coach, why don't we give up the previous tactics and really fight against the Knicks!"
Jefferson was really frightened by Lian Dao's eyes this time. He knew that if he made a small move this time, even if he didn't die on the spot, he might lose an arm or a leg.
There is really no need to play a ball and ruin your career!
Popovich knew what Jefferson meant, and also knew that this guy might be scared by Lian Dao, so he gave Jefferson a look, but then he saw the other Spurs players with absent-minded expressions, helpless sighed.
Since Horry and Bowen retired and Popovich lacked two good thugs around him, he felt more and more difficult to lead the team.
"It's okay to fight, but do a good job of defense. I don't want the Spurs to become a historical background board again!"
The game continued, and Duncan was beaten off by Lian Dao, which cheered up all the Knicks players.
The Spurs with Duncan and the Spurs without Duncan are two levels.
And Stoudemire, who was lost by Popovich before, also rose completely in the next game.
Dejuan Blair, a power forward who is only 2 meters 01, can't hold back Stoudemire's performance at all, attacking the frame, holding the ball in the middle distance, and dunking alleys. The Knicks completely became Stoudemire in the next three minutes performance stage.
The Spurs did not back down either. Although Jefferson was very helpless in the face of Lian Dao's defense, Ginobili and Parker continued to show off.
The end of the first quarter, 25:33.
The Knicks led by only 8 points.
After Duncan left the court, the offensive rhythm on both sides accelerated a lot, which also made the fans of Madison Square Garden very excited. Basically, everyone would prefer to watch hearty offensive battles rather than a little bit of time-killing positional warfare.
"Haha, this kind of offense is rare even for the Spurs who have moved their offensive core outward this season. Compared with the Spurs' lifeless positional warfare before, I prefer this kind of offensive battle where you come and go!" Barkley said in a statement. Shouted at the end of the table.
Smith also smiled and said: "I guess the sudden change in the Spurs' style should be inseparable from Tim's fouls. Although Tony is the core of the Spurs' outside offense this season, Tim's role in the Spurs is still irreplaceable. Tim's end , so that the tactics prepared by the Spurs before the game will be invalid!"
"Indeed, Sickle is too cunning, he caught the weakness of the Spurs!"
Judging from the first quarter, the state of the Spurs' outside players is still very good, except for Jefferson of course.
Jefferson is probably the only player who suffers a lot. A quasi-All-Star small forward, he came to the West and thought he could help the Spurs win the championship again~www.mtlnovel.com~ Unexpectedly, his state plummeted.
Before the start of this game, Jefferson also prepared a lot, just wanting to avenge his shame, but so far, his preparations have been useless.
After all, he is not a player at the level of Durant and James. It is really not difficult for Lian Dao to freeze his scoring.
After the start of the second quarter, Lian Dao hit a three-pointer with the ball first, and then after helping Holiday to pick and roll, Holiday went to the basket and scored a layup. Without Duncan guarding the basket, Holiday scored from the basket It is also much easier.
After that, Lian Dao hit another three-pointer in a quarter, helping the Knicks to increase the score by 14 points.
Then the Knicks switched to the rotation, and Lian Dao also took a rest.
When he has an advantage, he doesn't need to play the whole game.
Giving the bench a certain chance to play will make the Knicks go further in the playoffs.
