Chapter 169 Unreasonable Provocation
Against a team like the Mavericks, it’s useless to be as clumsy as you are against the Kings. The Mavericks are not a young team like the Kings, and the head coach of the Mavericks, Avery Johnson, is the former general of the Spurs. Taught disciples.
Although the tactics of the Spurs have been constantly changing, they are always the same, and their fundamental ideas will not change. If you want to say that the head coach who knows Popovich best in the league, it is not Avery Johnson Not to mention, he is the most recent head coach among the players or assistant coaches following Popovich. Mike Brown and Doc Rivers are not counted.
Although these people will call to ask Popovich for advice after encountering problems, but when the two teams meet on the field, they will not care about the relationship between mentor and apprentice. Of course, Popovich also Not caring, so how to play this game, Popovich has been hesitating, not only to force out the opponent's true strength, but also not to expose his own ability to suppress the bottom of the box.
At the same time, the head coach of the Mavericks, "Little General" Avery Johnson, is also thinking about this battle. He knows Popovich very well. Blinking an eye on the court is a tactic, and he is playing for the Spurs. Sometimes he was called an "field assistant" because he could best understand Popovich's tactical intentions.
It is because he knew that Popovich's tactics were unpredictable, so Johnson made up his mind when the situation in the playoffs was very clear. He would never compete with the Spurs in tactics. Povic's opponent.
But the role of tactics is not unlimited. It doesn’t mean that you can win the game if you formulate good tactics. Many teams basically don’t have any series of tactics. It’s not enough to win the game just by playing alone. It’s like a war between two sides. Similarly, you have used countless strategies, but even if the opponent is setting up his position and advancing slowly, no tactics you have are useless.
The simplest tactic is the most effective tactic. This is what Popovich once said to Johnson, so Avery Johnson will use this method to deal with the playoffs, whether it is an opponent or what, Johnson's attention to the Spurs far exceeded Popovich's attention to the Mavericks, so he was very keen to find that something was wrong with the current situation of the Spurs. On the surface, the injury crisis seemed to have passed, but in essence these There is still a long period of time for a person to adjust from recovering to returning to the field to being in good condition.
This means that the opportunity for the Mavericks may come. Otherwise, Avery Johnson himself feels that the strength of the Mavericks is inferior to the Spurs, especially when the Spurs have Stephen as a new force, which is even more headache for Johnson. What it brings is not only defense and scoring, but impact, whether it is the impact of young players or the impact of strength, and impact is also where Johnson feels that the Mavericks are better than the Spurs.
This season, Duncan was troubled by plantar fasciitis. Although his performance could not be seen from the statistics, it actually did not have the effect of pinning the sea in the past. Ginobili, the sharpest knife in the Spurs' offense The season has also been struggling with insufficient physical fitness. As for Parker, as a player in the same position, Johnson did not get it as a threat.
In his view, although Parker is still improving, he is far from reaching maturity, and Popovich just used tactics to cover up his shortcomings, so that many teams could not catch it. Look at the difference, the ability to control the rhythm is not too strong.
As for the others?Johnson is not worried at all. The most worrying thing about the Spurs is Duncan, then Manu Ginobili, and finally Tony Parker. Now maybe add Stephen. He's smart and doesn't fully use his body to play.
However, although Stephen has many scoring methods, he does not have any killer scoring methods. Even his post-up singles only have an advantage when he is post-up, and when it comes to singles, he is almost like an ordinary person. Having an absolutely sure scoring method is Stephen's biggest problem.
As for his scoring average of [-] points per game, that is the reason why he has a lot of shots. It will not be so easy to switch to the playoffs. Compared with the regular season, the defensive strength in the playoffs seems to be on a higher level. It seems that, especially the competition for the inside line is more intense, and he will not be given so many singles opportunities.
After thinking about this point, Johnson felt relieved. The Mavericks actually ranked second in the Western Conference this season, only two games away from the Spurs. As a rookie in the country, many experts and industry insiders commented on Johnson, and they were not stingy, which gave Johnson a lot of confidence. Otherwise, Johnson really didn't have much confidence in fighting against his former mentor.
After thinking about it, the two of them adopted the idea of hiding clumsiness at the same time. Of course, being clumsy is not seeking defeat. Both sides entered the game according to the standard style of play. The only difference is that the Spurs announced before the game. Robert Horry and Bruce Bowen will not play in the game, which further confirms Johnson's suspicion.
Robert Horry is in very good condition, but from the beginning of the season to the present, Robert Horry's playing time has been stable at around 10 minutes. For a 35-year-old veteran, this playing time is not a lot, so let him rest more. It's normal. A player like Robert Horry is very good at adjusting his own state. Every year, the playoffs are when he shows off his power. In the playoffs, Robert Horry will be even more terrifying than the regular season. In the finals, Robert Horry's danger index will reach a new level.
The Mavericks also hid their main point guard, Devin Harris, to replace the starting point guard Armstrong. After playing for a while, Johnson actually replaced Armstrong with Jason Terry. An odd lineup with two shooting guards.
However, the old Nelson's crazy offensive style inherited by the Mavericks doesn't really need an orthodox point guard, so the Mavericks' offense has not become chaotic because of this, but the Spurs are a bit out of breath relying on fierce firepower , for such a strange formation, Popovich did not think, could it be the ultimate killer move that this guy came up with, but judging from Popovich's understanding of Johnson, in today's ordinary regular season, the big kill The trick will not be used at this time.
Popovich ignored it, and continued to play step by step according to his own arrangements. The two teams did not play like they were at the end of the regular season. Judging by the intensity, they were better than the preseason. For such a team Many people are well aware of the situation. The two teams have basically determined their rankings, and there is no change in the matchup. Naturally, there is no need to work hard.
Although Popovich didn't say it clearly, many players understood the nature of the game. When they started the game, they were a little half-hearted and didn't concentrate. So far, Duncan has only scored five points, and Parker has only scored five points. Four points and Muhammad scored none.
After switching to the bench lineup, Brent Barry made [-] of [-] shots and Oberto made [-] of [-] shots. If it weren’t for Ginobili and Van Exel who played normally, the Spurs would have been widened. , even Stephen, because he couldn't get the support of his teammates, and everyone was playing weakly, he himself seemed to be infected, and he didn't play with much enthusiasm.
"With your performance, you still want to win the best rookie, a second-round player." For some reason, when Jerry Stackhouse passed by Stephen, he suddenly said this, and Stephen looked at him in surprise At a glance, I didn't remember any grievances with him, and the two sides were out of alignment, so I came to stroke my beard when nothing happened.
Taking a look at his own score, he only scored nine points so far, which is a bit unrecognizable, but before Stephen cheered up and gave the opponent a counterattack, he was replaced by Popovich, and he could only be present Watching the opponent show off his power on the court.
But soon Stephen saw another very novel free throw method. After a layup after a breakthrough caused Nesterovich's foul, Stackhouse actually squatted on the ground to make a free throw. If Stephen used If it is a toilet-style free throw, he is called a squatting toilet-style free throw.
Finally, in the second half, Popovich sent Stephen to the field again. At this time, Stackhouse was still on the field. Stephen took the opportunity to exchange defensive positions with Brent Barry, and then did not change back. , has been following Stackhouse.
Stackhouse was very uncomfortable being entangled by Stephen. No wonder Josh Howard said that this kid was difficult to deal with. No wonder the coach asked himself to provoke this guy. Although he didn't want to admit that he was getting old, Stackhouse still found out that Under Stephen's defense, it was even difficult for him to make a shot.
Stackhouse wanted to use a dirty trick to deal with Stephen, but soon found that Stephen was far more slippery than he imagined, and it was not an easy task to take advantage of him, Stackhouse Si's heart swayed, and he decided to use a ruthless hand. With the movement of turning around, the flying elbow hit Stephen's face.
Although Stephen was very careful, but due to the sudden turn of Stackhouse, people did not expect it at all, and his flying elbow did not show any signs, and it hit Stephen's brow bone with a bang, Stephen With a sound of ouch, he threw his head back, and his body immediately fell to the ground.
But Stephen didn't let Stackhouse go easily. Taking advantage of the opportunity of falling, Stephen slapped his knee hard on his lower abdomen, so the two fell to the ground together, and the game was suspended immediately, and then Players from the two teams surrounded them, and the referee hurried over.
Although the tactics of the Spurs have been constantly changing, they are always the same, and their fundamental ideas will not change. If you want to say that the head coach who knows Popovich best in the league, it is not Avery Johnson Not to mention, he is the most recent head coach among the players or assistant coaches following Popovich.
