Build a Dream Dynasty

If you let Popovich look back on his only good memory when he faced the Nets in the 2014 Finals, it might appear in G3, facing Leonard that he has been thinking about. Popovich found a way to target Leonard's super defensive ability, "island tactics".

From the beginning of the game, the Spurs' tactical arrangement was very clear. Parsons went straight to the left corner on the offensive end without moving, fixed Leonard in the left corner to follow up the defense, and the other four used the court other space to attack. Parsons and Leonard are almost out of the Spurs' offensive end.

Jiang Mingliang actually knew this tactic. In later generations, the Rockets were in this state when they faced the Spurs. Tucker directly sank to the bottom corner and fixed Leonard here. The more classic case is Leonard's duel with the Nets, which formed the Big Three after he arrived at the Clippers. Durant squatted in the bottom corner and smoked, causing Leonard to inhale second-hand smoke for the entire game. On the periphery, Irving and Harden pierced the Clippers' defense abruptly. It was that game that allowed fans to truly see the power of the Big Three.

The Spurs do not have the Big Three, Irving and Harden, but they have a stronger inside control. Diaw does a very good job of guiding the ball in a small range inside, while Parker, Butler and Ginobili, who are playing in rotation, all With excellent singles ability, the game fell into a back-to-back fight. The Spurs did not leave any room to fight the Nets. Although Butler's offensive shooting is a bit solid, but first, he can really draw fouls, and second, he is terrible. In the first half, he could really shoot the ball. Although he only made 6 of 13 shots in the first half, his personal data has come to 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. Fernandez has been sent to the sidelines by him to rest for a while.

Although the Spurs made a revolutionary arrangement on the offensive end and made full use of the team's home court advantage, at the end of the first half, the score was 59:56, and the Spurs only led by 3 points.

Leonard, who was marginalized by the Spurs on the defensive end, showed his value on the offensive end. Butler and Parsons have their own defensive characteristics. They can cause some troubles against Durant, but against Leonard It was very difficult for De, especially with Curry as a firepower over there. Leonard made 7 of 10 shots in the half and scored 15 points. The efficiency was really good, and the Nets were able to bite the score. In addition to Curry and Leonard, the outbreak of another person was beyond the expectations of the Spurs. He was emptied on the offensive end in the last round. In the first half, he knew his shame and was brave. He made 4 of 8 mid-range jumpers and scored 9 points. Although the efficiency was still not high, it reduced the Spurs' double-teaming of Curry and Leonard.

In the second round of the duel between the two sides, the Spurs also took the lead in the first half by pinching Curry and letting go of Green's mid-to-long distance. However, after the game entered the third quarter, the game immediately entered the rhythm of the Nets. Among them, the Spurs could not see a better opportunity. In this game, the same situation happened again. With the decline in physical fitness, the physical fitness of the core players of the Spurs has declined significantly, and their performance has also fluctuated accordingly. In this case, Popovich made a quick decision to replace Duncan and Diaw in time, but in this way, the team randomly fell into a stalemate on the offensive end. Don't look at the outside players with more gorgeous statistics on the Spurs, but the real offensive starting points, except for Ginobili, are mainly inside Duncan and Diaw.

Popovich has no choice but to let the veterans stare at the residual blood and fight with the Nets. Whether they can fight it is another matter. Even if they are lucky enough to bite the score, they can't pass the fourth quarter.

Seeing that the score was stretched little by little, the fans on the forum were also presenting awards to the Nets in advance. Feeling the terrifying strength of the Nets.

Compared with last season's thrilling finals, the Nets' playoff journey this season is really very easy, even Jiang Mingliang and Stevens didn't expect it. But looking at the essence through the surface, many things are reasonable. First of all, the strength of the Nets this season has increased. If you only compare the lineup, you may not think so. After all, the depth of the Nets lineup last season was stronger than this season, but many things are not just based on strength on paper. of. The Nets are dominated by young players. With the lightning strike of game experience, these young players have significantly enhanced their strength. Curry, Leonard, and Green are all on this list. If it is not for injuries, Leonard is very promising He was promoted to the All-Star team this season, and Chasing Dream Green showed in the playoffs that he is a qualified starting insider for the playoff team, and the roles of these two people in the team are one by one. Points are increasing. Secondly, the opponents blew themselves up one after another. The Heat got Mayo and added an efficient ball-holding offensive point, but the decline of Wade and Bosh was somewhat irreversible, and the team's bench lineup was still the same, not very good at all. come up. The Thunder let Jeremy Lin go in vain, and Perkins became more and more cumbersome and easy to be targeted. The real skeleton of the Spurs has always been GDP, and age is their worst enemy.

It can be seen from the regular season that on the surface, the Nets lost one more game in the regular season than last season. In fact, this is based on Leonard's absence for half the season. Not to mention, before the end of the season, the Nets made a large-scale rotation in the lineup. Although there is some hindsight, the NBA this season is actually one super and many strong, and the Nets are much stronger than other opponents.

On reddit, a sentence from Heat fans represents the voice of many fans in the league: "The Nets are a team that you don't know how terrifying they are if you don't play against them."

Among them, James fans accounted for a large proportion. But Jamie's remarks can also be endorsed by Comey. As the team that Jiang Mingliang hates the most, the Nets really beat the Lakers to death, and it also made Comey lose face.

The fourth quarter of the game was a bit difficult for the Spurs fans at home. The more terrifying thing than death is watching their own lives go by, but they can't do anything, there is no way, the Spurs fans are now This is the predicament we are in today. The players on the field have tried their best, and the head coach insisted on scheduling and resisting. Even the Spurs fans are embarrassed to scold the referee today. Many half-balls are enough for the referee to save face. It is really more than enough.

The 38-year-old Duncan was sitting on the sidelines, looking at the past affectionately. His originally slightly dull appearance was worthy of the name of "sluggishness" at this time.

Well, what the Spurs fans are most worried about at this time is not that the team will be swept by the Nets. In comparison, they are worried that Duncan will not see hope and retire directly!

Since ancient times, beauties are like famous generals, and they are not allowed to have gray hair in the world.
