Chapter 281 Popovich who "lost his mind"
"Ann! Did you hear that, you've been targeted by the most terrifying coach in the league, let's make a bet, can you score 30 points in the next game?" On the training day the day before the game, Eric · Bledsoe looked at the news on ESPN and smiled gloatingly at Anson.Of course he was happy. The worse An Sheng was defended, the more opportunities he had for role players like them. He hadn't scored more than 20 points in this playoffs.
"Eric, if you didn't put those Qius I passed to you in that damn basket, I think you would understand what consequences you would suffer." An Sheng couldn't stand Eric. Bledsoe looked happy, and he immediately threatened Eric Bledsoe.
Eric Bledsoe immediately put on a bitter face: "Great Mr. Greg, you should take care of me in the next game, I don't want to shoot a damn three-pointer." His face There is a reason why it is so bad. In this season's playoffs, he made 50 of 17 three-pointers. As a guard, he only hit 12 three-pointers in 17 games, and he made 34% of the three-pointers. The rate is almost the bottom of the Clippers' outside line.
Now the big score of 1:1 is still a relatively happy score for the Clippers, so the atmosphere of the Clippers is also very relaxed during training. With the laughter of the players, Del Negro also let go of the long-lost pressure and began to close. Of course, he is still thinking about Gregg Popovich's last paragraph last time, restricting Ansheng!
It’s okay if it’s another coach, but it’s Greg Popovich who said this, which makes him have to be vigilant, the Western Conference champion and the championship, no coach doesn’t want to get these honors !
On the second day of the game, many Lakers fans flooded into the Staples Center, but tonight, they were with the Clippers, a familiar venue, but it was another team. Speaking of them, they still feel a little uncomfortable.
"Man, believe me, we can help you avenge tonight!" A Clippers guy looked at the Lakers fans and said to him.
And such consolation can be seen everywhere in the stadium. Unknowingly, the Spurs have become a link between the Clippers and the Lakers!
After the game started, all the fans stopped communicating and turned their attention to the field together.Today's Spurs made a little change in the starting lineup at the beginning. Thiago Splitter replaced Boris Diaw and Tim Duncan to partner with the Spurs' starting insider.
On the outside, Tony Parker, Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard did not mark the man, but adopted a zone defense. Is this testing the Clippers' three-pointer?Seeing this scene, Mr. Clippers fans were a little surprised, and then couldn't help laughing. I didn't expect Gregg Popovich, an old fox, to have such a result after careful consideration, and the reality may disappoint you.
In the last game, the Clippers' three-pointers can be said to be like rain. Ann hit 5 goals, Jason Richardson 5 goals, Chris Paul 3 times, Randy Foye 15 times. Once, the Clippers scored [-] three-pointers in the last game and almost shot through the Spurs. This is also the biggest factor for the Clippers to win the game. Do you still dare to use the twin towers to add zone defense?Do you know how the Lakers died in the playoffs last year?Didn't he just get shot through by the Mavericks during the zone defense!
Not only the Clippers fans, but even the Spurs fans watching on the Internet and TV in San Antonio shook their heads. They were not optimistic about Gregg Popovich’s tactical change this time. One of the best teams.
Sure enough, in the first round, the Clippers began to try their own three-pointers decisively. After Chris Paul transferred to Anson, he quickly transferred to Jason Richardson. Before Ni Green arrived, the three-pointer had already been shot.
It's a pity that it may have been too long to adapt to the basket in their own arena. After all, after winning the game in Oklahoma, they went directly to San Antonio and played two games in a row. Didn't shoot a field goal at home for a week, a little reckless.
Fortunately, Chris Paul hit a three-pointer directly on the next goal. He is indeed an assist-oriented defender, but once you give him enough space, his three-pointer can also kill people.
In the 4 minutes of the game, the Clippers had almost no chance to hit the inside. Only Blake Griffin scored two air cuts and dunks. Almost all of them made three-pointers, with 8 three-pointers in the half quarter. He made 3 shots and led by 13 points with a score of 8:5.
All of this seems to be going on in accordance with the most ideal aspect of the Clippers, oh!Except for one thing, Gregg Popovich did what he said to reporters at the end of his last game, he must restrain Anson, no, Anson took 4 shots in 4 minutes and only Hitting a three-pointer, he was capped by Tim Duncan on two cuts to the basket, and was interfered by Thiago Splitter the other time.
The ferocity of the inside defense made Ansheng simply not go in, and for Ansheng's three-pointers and mid-range shots, the Spurs were also extremely strict. Ansheng directly acted as a support and sent out 2 assists.
"Oh! Did Greg lose his mind?" Shaquille O'Neal, who had met Gregg Popovich countless times in the playoffs on the commentary stand, was very puzzled. In his impression, Greg Gregg Popovich is a very smart coach who beat the Lakers with him twice in 99 and 03.
Charles Barkley doesn't think so. He has been a commentator much longer than Shaquille O'Neal. As a fan of the Clippers, he is not very optimistic about the current situation, because the old man on the bench does not Angry or disappointed because of the current backwardness, how to put it, it feels as if he is completely accepting the current situation.
He has seen this state too many times in the previous commentary, and although he didn't say anything in the end, most of them will go to the end, and the winning team will be the Spurs in the end.
"It's hard to say! For the Spurs, their defense shouldn't be like this. Maybe the game hasn't really started yet!"
