Chapter 874 [The Key to Victory, Flexible Fat Man]


Vucevic jumped the ball to win and the game began.Curry took it to the frontcourt and passed it to Wang Jun, and the main defender was Prince.In the first round, the Spurs started with pitcher Danny Green, and against the Kings they had to consider defensive matters and make adjustments.Wang Jun dribbled to the right, Vucevic covered to block Prince, Wang Jun accelerated with the ball to get rid of, and Dio switched defenses.Duncan defends Battier on the left baseline and can make up for the basket at any time.Wang Jun opened up space with the ball on the right baseline, and Prince kept two steps away to help defend, and he has a lot of experience and can wrap up at any time, and he can also switch to defend Vucevic.Prince was a rookie in 2002 and had been competing with Wang Jun for many years, and he knew that he couldn't just rely on the bag to limit Wang Jun.Dior is also experienced, keeping a distance from Wang Jun, and focusing on the bottom line of anti-breakthrough.Wang Jun pulled the ball to the middle in one step, and Miji relied on speed to get rid of Dior.Prince chased after the defense and Dio retreated, attracting the attention of the two big men.Wang Jun half-turned and jumped up in the middle to split the ball, and Vucevic scored with a 60-degree open jumper.2 to 0.He passes the ball when he packs it, and he plays when he doesn't pack it, and he has developed a habit.Popovich took a deep breath and could only hope for Dio's misplaced defensive ability.The Spurs attacked, and James defended Duncan.Duncan received the ball on the right side and distributed the ball to Dio, who ran from the baseline to the middle, who turned and did not have a chance to shoot, attracting Vucevic to take a step sideways and hit the ground to the baseline.Parker suddenly got rid of Curry and scored on a layup.2 to 2.ESN Van Gundy introduced: "It's a typical Spurs-style combination, the interior players are all pulled out to cover, and there is no one to protect the basket. ”McBrin said: "Whether or not you can stop the Kings from defending their title, I think this series will mainly depend on the play of the interior players.Spurs have a clear advantage on the inside. ”Wang Jun singled out Dior after blocking and dismantling, and the baseline retreat jumper was deflected under interference.The Spurs attacked, Duncan pulled outside the three-point line on the right side to cover Parker, and James switched defenses to block and pick-and-roll.Duncan leaned on Curry to cut inside, and Parker distributed the ball to Dio in the high post.Vucevic didn't get out, Dio received the ball and shot in the open space, and hit a jumper.2 to 4.The Kings attacked, and Wang Jun drew the ball to the defense on the right side and gave it to James in the middle, who got a heads-up opportunity against rookie Leonard.No one is optimistic about rookie Kawhi Kawhi Kawhi and James is in his prime, which looks like a weakness for the Spurs.Leonard put James one and a half steps, lowered his center of gravity, and made the right choice to prevent sudden bursts or not to shoot.James is most criticized for this kind of ball selection, he rarely pulls out his hand, and is called "two meters afraid to shoot" by fans.This is the core of Popovich's tactics, James has a 70% shooting rate in the low post and less than 50% in jump shots, of course, he must prevent breakthroughs.It's hard to get James with normal defense, and the thin man is close to him.This can also disrupt the opponent's tactical arrangement and turn it into a star single.James broke through on the left side after probing, Leonard followed with small steps, the long arm gave James a lot of pressure, failed to pass, he leaned on the ball with his back to the bottom line and was blocked again.James was very faceless by the newcomer's defense, leaned on his back twice and turned to the middle to shoot a jumper, failed to squeeze away, and missed the basket under interference.Popovich has spent the season coaching Leonard defensively, hoping he will become the Spurs' new Bowen.He has the physicality and awareness to be a top defensive player.Dio protects the rebounding ball in the backcourt, and the Spurs battle position.Duncan covered, Parker drew James to defend and then crossed the middle, Dio attracted Vucevic to defend and passed to Duncan, who leaned on Curry and easily scored a one-handed cricket.2 to 6.The king attacked, James received the ball in the middle, lowered his center of gravity and forced a breakthrough, and was followed by Leonard.Near the line of the box on the right, James leaned on Leonard for a layup, which was deflected under interference, and the rebound was again obtained by Dior.James is a little anxious, wanting to prove his strength and attract teammates, but newcomers may not have strength, and he himself was a good example back then.The Spurs attacked, Dio and Duncan continued to retreat, the same tactic, Parker attracted James to switch defenses to the middle, Dio received the ball and leaned on Vucevic to shake out a little space and hoisted Duncan to the air.Battier let go of Prince's defense, Duncan redistributed the ball to the left side, and Prince missed a three-pointer from an open position.His three-point shooting percentage seems to be good, but he can't actually shoot a ball per game.Duncan stuck Battier under the basket and grabbed the rebound in the front court with his height and reach.Vucevic retracted, Duncan split the ball again, Dio was unguarded high and scored another jumper.2 to 8.When the members of the King's coaching staff studied the opponent, they didn't expect that the most uncomfortable thing for the King would be Dio, who was cut by a bad team like Bobcats.Dio joined the Spurs with a base salary in the middle of the year, which is only $300,000.His strength is capable of starting, and the Spurs have picked up a big bargain.Picked by the Eagles in the first round of 2003 at No. 21, Dior is known as one of the most versatile basketball players of all time, from playing point guard in the Hawks to playing as a major and small forward under the D'Antoni system, and occasionally playing as a guest center, thus earning him the title of "French Magician".In recent years, as he gained weight, his stats declined before being abandoned by the Bobcats.When he arrived at the Spurs, Popovich asked him to play inside, and he suddenly successfully transformed into a flexible dead fat man, and the transformation was staggering.In 37 games for the Bobcats this season, Dio averaged 74 points, 53 rebounds and 43 assists in 275 minutes per game, continuing to show the versatility of an all-round forward.At Bobcats, Dior's shooting percentage dropped dramatically, from 492 last season to 41, which is the reason why his average points per game dropped by nearly 4 points.In fact, it's not that he can't do it, but that the lynx doesn't know how to use him.When he arrived at the Spurs, his shooting percentage increased to 588, and his three-point shooting rate was also 615, with few shots and high efficiency.He averaged 47 points, 43 rebounds and 24 assists per game in 20 minutes.Although the data is poor, he is really entered.In the next round, James organized in the middle and passed to Curry, who was running, and he and Vucevic covered without the ball on the left side, attracting Dio to switch defenses.Wang Jun ran to the right low post and received Curry's pass, leaned on Prince's back, turned to the middle and threw a backward jumper, making a "golden rooster independence" move.His feints were so fast that Prince couldn't cover the ball when he jumped slowly.4 to 8.The Spurs attacked again, and the Kings switched to joint defense.Duncan cut to the low post to split the ball, and Leonard made a three-pointer from the perimeter, but missed it under a slight interference from Wang Jun.The Spurs had an excellent defensive lineup, but the weakness was that Green was not on the lineup, the three-point shot was poor, and Vucevic grabbed the rebound.Wang Jun counterattacked quickly, attracting Prince to the right side, Curry distributed the ball to James in the middle, and once James rushed up, Leonard had no choice but to score a tank-style layup.6 to 8.After the trial, the two sides began a tug-of-war, with the defense very focused and fighting for every ball.On the offensive end, the Kings relied on stars, and the Spurs relied on interior tactics and air cuts, and they were evenly matched.Zhang reasonably commented: "The Spurs team has a good mix of new and old players, they are stronger than expected, and today the Kings encountered a challenge. ”It is clear that Spurs have a chance of winning.s:
