Chapter 877 [Change Joint Defense, Killer Feature]


The Kings lost two games in a row, causing management turmoil.Some media broke the news that the manager of the Kings is going to be replaced, and also listed several people who may succeed Jeff Petri, lest the world be chaotic.Vivekranadive is indeed very unhappy with Petri's work, believing that his mid-term recruitment is not good, and if the Kings are eliminated, he must be responsible.Here's what Vivek had in mind.Dior is a free man in the middle of the game, why not dig into the team If the Spurs don't have Dior, with Bonner and Split, how can they beat the king It's really not Petri's fault, when Dior was cut, there was already Martin in the team, and it didn't make much sense to have a short insider.Looking at the fame, Dior is still a little worse, Martin won the finals V that year.As for Dior's good play in the Spurs, who would have known that he was so fierce under Popovich, and if he wanted to see people accurately, he had to find a traverser as a manager.The coaching staff studied countermeasures together, and planned to change the joint defense to the mainstay, with Battier and Curry on the wing, Wang Jun in the center, and James and Martin on the bottom line.Vucevic came off the bench and teamed up with Thomas to take on the offensive task in the second quarter.Coming off the bench against Split, his defensive weaknesses won't be too obvious.On the offensive end, Adelman has no good way to do it, so he can only play small-ball tactics and rely on the ability of the stars.The only thing that has changed is that he wants Jerebko to play more, add a three-point shooting spot, further reduce Vucevic's playing time, and strengthen the defense of outside shooting.Popovich also does mobilization work in the team during training and does not allow the players to be careless.If the third game is lost, the series will be uncertain.On the contrary, if you win, the player is psychologically in an absolute advantageous position.It was a great battle between the two sides.Before the game, people were predicting the winner.Spurs fans believe the time has come to win the championship again, while Kings fans are mostly pessimistic.Especially James's fans, they began to doubt the strength of their idols.When he first arrived at the Kings, some people said that James sacrificed data for the team as a whole, and his strength was not inferior to Wang Jun, or even stronger.Now no one says this kind of thing anymore, James can't play alone, and he can't shoot on the periphery, what is this sacrificing, and there are still many people on the Internet who laugh at James, especially Comey likes to compare him with Kobe Bryant and say that James is a burden.Although Kobe Bryant hasn't won the championship in the past two years, at least he is loyal, at least he is the boss of the team.James hugged his thighs, didn't take responsibility, wasted talent, he would rely on his body, Bala Bala Bala described Kobe Bryant as a disabled man all day long, Comi who led the team independently was really unbearable, he fished for two years in a row, isn't it good to be honest Fifty steps and a hundred steps, no wonder it always annoys.The atmosphere at home was lively at the Spurs, and when the Kings players played, the home fans booed neatly.Some fans waved the sign "soft egg" and "defector" at James to provoke.Leaving the knight to become the king's second master will be a stain that he will never be able to wash away.Adelman also lost confidence in James, and this time he directly made him a blue-collar worker, mainly responsible for blocking and dismantling, controlling the backcourt rebounding ball and passing to launch a fast attack.In positional battles, James is responsible for organizing and waiting for opportunities on the periphery, rather than shooting and attacking with the ball.The main attack task is fully handed over to Wang Jun, and the king has no time to engage in experiments and fight any dual-core.James's expression seemed resolute, but in fact it was very uncomfortable.It is indeed easy for him and Wang Jun to win the championship, but being a junior brother is not what he wants.Now he can only do the work of the younger brother, and he has to do it well, losing to the veteran Spurs, I am afraid that he will be said for the rest of his life and be mainly responsible for the defeat.He has already carried the burden of wanting to win and being afraid of losing.Wang Jun's mentality is different from James's, he is still very calm, with a strong desire to win, but he does not think cranky.After winning the fifth championship, only Kobe Bryant has the same ring index as him, and in the entire history of the NBA, only two dozen people have received five or more championship rings.He has a high status in the league, and if he loses, it is only a small twist and turn in his career, and he will have a chance to surpass his predecessors in the future.Lost, not the end of the world.Therefore, he can adjust his emotions to face challenges, and thinking too much will only have the opposite effect.The Spurs' starting lineup remains unchanged.Parker, Leonard, Prince, Dior, Duncan.Zhang Li looked at the list and said: "The Kings have made adjustments to the starters, Curry, Wang Jun, Battier, James, and Martin.It's a five-man lineup, no center.Vucevic couldn't find his position, defended too poorly and was on the bench today. ”Yu Jia sighed: "This season, the king lost in the center position, it doesn't matter if the offense is almost there, there are people in the team who can attack, and they lack a big man who can defend, which is really terrible."

In the summer, the Kings first considered the interior. ”Zhang said: "Chris Carman is a free man, it would be nice if he could take a salary cut to the king."

However, it depends on his choice, and it is estimated that there will be teams willing to pay him a high salary. ”Popovich saw that the Kings were not big men and hoped that Duncan would take his chance and perform well.Duncan jumped the ball and the game began.Wang Jun faced Parker in the middle, which was an important adjustment and Adelman's killer feature.In the first two games, he did not arrange Wang Jun to defend the opponent's core, but reserved his strength to perform on the offensive end, and Curry's defense against Parker was not successful.Wang Jun dealt with Prince and Gino very well, and now the team needs him to do more.Parker accelerates with the ball, takes a step to the right, dribbles the ball under the crotch to the left hand, makes a slight pause, and then quickly changes direction to the right.His continuous feints are well connected, Wang Jun's judgment is accurate, and his speed is also very fast, always blocking in front of Parker.Parker passes the ball out of the perimeter to Dio, and James follows, interfering in front of him.Dio distributed the ball to Prince, who in turn lobbed it to Duncan.Without a boost, Martin focused his full attention on defense, and the focus made him stronger than in the regular season.In the 2003 Finals, Martin played against Duncan with the Nets, when Duncan played in the top 10 in the history of the Finals.He averaged 242 points, 17 rebounds and 53 assists per game, shooting 495 from the field and 32 in efficiency.After the game, many people said that Martin's blow up was the main reason for the Nets' loss.Since then, Martin has been determined to get revenge on Duncan, but has never had a chance.He stayed at the Nuggets for six years, and his stats went all the way down.He went to the CBA and was laid off, and his career hit rock bottom.Now the Kings have Martin in the starting line, and the coach trusts him.Even if he was forced to do so, he felt very comfortable and regained his self-confidence.Duncan is not the V he was back then.In order to ensure that he lost weight, his strength dropped and he couldn't squeeze Martin, turned around and shot out of the way under interference, James grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack with a pass.Wang Jun received the ball and turned to the front court, attracting Prince and distributing the ball to Curry, who followed up.Curry took the ball and dribbled a step to stop and retreat, and grabbed a shot outside the three-point line in the middle, he took the road of Wang Jun in the early stage, mainly shooting three points, making up for the lack of stature and quality, and the range was getting farther and farther.Parker reacted a little slower and didn't cover it, and the ball arced beautifully and hollowed into the net.3 to 0.Curry is a wonder man arranged by Adelman, he can make bold shots, and his three-point shooting percentage has been among the best for three consecutive seasons, around 45, which is higher than Wang Jun.s:
