In this game, Popovich gave up his best defense and chose to fight against the Mavericks. This is a very courageous and courageous act. The Spurs are among the top three defensive teams in the league. The team, but it can only be regarded as the middle of the league in terms of offense.

As for the Mavericks, the Mavericks can achieve the third record in the real second league in the Western Conference, relying on his offensive ability, the average points per game is only lower than the Phoenix Suns, which has the highest offense in the league, and they also have the league's first-class defense ability.

It can be said that Popovich chose to fight against such an opponent. It can be said that it is a very adventurous behavior. Not everyone has this kind of courage. That's how it works, and it works surprisingly well.

It's like two opponents who are basically evenly matched, one with a hard shield and the other with a spear tip, but now the hard shield puts the shield aside first, fights with the opponent, and then stabs the opponent to death At that time, he was afraid that the opponent would counterattack, so he picked up the shield again, and won the final victory.

Afterwards, many people also analyzed that when Popovich set up that lineup in Game [-], he had already started thinking about how to play in Game [-]. He used this change to show the Mavericks that there is nothing wrong with me. Other tricks are available, you can rest assured.

The entire Mavericks, including "Little General" Johnson, was confused by such tricks and fell into Popovich's arrogant strategy. In the fourth game, it can be seen that the Mavericks did not make any changes at all. And got the victory.

So when the Spurs took the lead, the Mavericks didn't know how to deal with it, and fell into the swing of offense or defense. This is absolutely unforgivable in the playoffs. The problem of "Little General" Johnson's lack of experience is fully exposed here.

The media gave Popovich countless praises. Sophistication is the most derogatory adjective. At this time, it is impossible to see that they still questioned and criticized Popovich two days ago. Odd was pulled from the position of head coach.

The media are like this, they have no morals at all, turning their faces and changing their mouths is as simple as eating and drinking water for them, especially the local media in San Antonio, they can't wait to stick their faces over to Popovich's fart .Share above.

The night the game ended, the entire Spurs boarded the bus they had arrived and returned to San Antonio in the bright night. They walked [-] kilometers and walked all night before returning to San Antonio. When the bus stopped, they could already see The morning light appeared in the east.

Although I slept in the car overnight, for the players, it felt much better than traveling on the plane, and sleeping in the car, with the shaking of the car body, made it easier for people to fall asleep. After getting off the car, Let the players go home to rest, and continue to come to the team for training in the afternoon. The coaching staff can't rest, and they have to continue to discuss the tactics of tomorrow's game.

Although this kind of schedule of playing one game every other day is not as tiring as back-to-back, it is still not enough to fully relax the players' bodies, especially for an aging team like the Spurs. It is the home court of the Spurs, but they can't relax either.

And starting from the fifth game, they will play a home game here, an away game in Dallas, and then come back to play a home game. The Spurs can cope with the pain of running around, let alone the Spurs. The situation is not so good.

The last game has basically brought the Spurs' offense to the extreme. If this game continues like this, the Mavericks will not fall into the same trap. Although "Little General" Johnson is inexperienced, he can only speak empty words , How to play the fifth game, this is a very serious problem before the Spurs coaching staff.

This game is commonly known as the Battle of Tianwang Mountain. Whoever wins this game will be equal to getting the match point ahead of time, which will put a lot of pressure on the opponent. Of course, the Spurs don't expect the Mavericks to be overwhelmed by this pressure. But we can't lose such an important game, so we still have to win.

But the Spurs must win again. If they lose this game and return to the Mavericks' home court three days later, there is no hope of winning. But what strategy to use? Everyone is turning their attention to Bobo Vitch.

Popovich spread his hands and shrugged. What else could he do? In the fourth game, he had already given up his basketball philosophy. At the same time, the players were working very hard. Possible deployment to reduce the problems caused by lack of physical strength, still being chased by the Mavericks to the end, what other tricks can be thought of.

Popovich really has nothing to do. The enthusiasm and desire of the players does not need him to worry too much. Players who are not motivated will not be able to stay in the Spurs lineup. The players in the Spurs are observing discipline There is no need to worry about the service command. Perhaps it is because of his military background. Popovich puts the discipline of the team first, which is fully recognized by the boss.

In this way, he doesn't need to worry about the relationship between the team's locker room and the mental state of the players. He can devote all his energy to tactics and command, but he also has times when he is at the end of his rope, and this is the case now. Tricks, all ideas have been tried, and there is no effective way.

It is not to say that there is no room for adjustment, but this adjustment is likely to only bring about bad results, so now Popovich does not dare to try again easily, Popovich thought quietly, other members of the coaching staff They all sat there looking at him, hoping that he would come up with some bright ideas, but it was a pity that Popovich was going to let them down.

He waved his hand to let others leave. In order not to disturb his train of thought, everyone quietly exited the room. As the person who knew him best, Carlesimo took out a bottle of 13-year-old wine for him from the wine cabinet next to him. The Napa Valley was placed in front of him, and as an alcoholic, the wine utensils were naturally at hand.

After taking a sip of the mellow red wine, the taste of the wine lingered on the tip of the tongue thousands of times. With the aroma of the wine, Popovich suddenly seemed to be enlightened, and he only wanted to defeat him at the tactical or technical level. What the opponent does, no matter how good the tactics are, it also depends on the execution ability, and no matter how well the players execute, it ultimately depends on the comparison of the strengths of the two sides.

Tactics can make up for talent, but they can’t replace it. I just think about how to target the opponent tactically, but forget that the final victory of a basketball game depends on the strength of both sides. No matter how good the tactics are, it also depends on the strength support.

The victory in the last game is certainly due to my own tactics that played the due tactics, but it cannot be denied that my side defeated the opponent by relying on strength to the end. When chasing points, one's own defense is stronger than the opponent's offense. This is the key factor for victory.

The strength of the Spurs is not much worse than the opponent. The last game is an obvious example. Even in the offense that they are not good at, the Spurs have defeated the opponent. Although the Spurs are indeed inferior to the opponent in terms of physical strength, the rotation of the Spurs The lineup is far larger than the Mavericks.

There are ten people available on my side, but there are only eight people on the opponent's side. This determines that the physical problem is not a big problem. As long as the lineup is deployed, this problem can be made up for. This is to adapt to the situation during the game. Consideration doesn't do much.

The Mavericks win because they are young and full of impact, but in comparison, Nowitzki, Stackhouse, Jason Terry, several of his main players are not too young, and they played in the fifth game. How much physical strength can they save, can they still be as impactful as the first two games, obviously impossible.

Popovich called up the technical statistics of several games against the Mavericks. It is obvious that the playing time of the main players of the Mavericks is far greater than that of the Spurs, and the performance of several of them is actually declining. Popovich believes that in terms of game experience and mentality adjustment, the Mavericks are definitely not their opponents.

They will definitely be eager to win, so the Spurs can use this to make a fuss. How to use up their energy first before launching a counterattack? Popovich immediately decided the Spurs' goal in the fifth game The main strategic thinking, and then start thinking about how to deal with it according to this thinking.

"Little General" John was also thinking about the gains and losses of this game at this time. He realized that he had hesitated for too long in his failure, so he was afraid of the opponent's tactical power. After being led by the Spurs in the first quarter, there was no Give the players a clear instruction, but since Popovich has even given up on defense, it means that he really has nothing to do, and now the competition has become the strength of both sides.

So he summoned all the players. As a player who has just retired for a few years, he pays great attention to communication and exchanges with the players. In front of the players, he first admitted that the main responsibility for this loss lies with himself, but he also put My own analysis told the players, telling them that in the next game, they must stick to their own style, use overwhelming offense to suppress the opponent, and play the momentum of the regular season. Hearing this, the players were very excited.

No one likes to defend. All players learn how to put the ball into the basket when they first play. Attack is the common pursuit of everyone. Defense is only done out of the need for victory. Of course, it is understandable that some people regard blocking shots or rebounding as their own pursuits. There are always exceptions in this world.

Both sides have determined their own game strategies. On the second day, the fifth game of the Western Conference semifinals started at the SBC Center Arena, the home of the Spurs. Seeing the starting lineup of the Spurs, "Little General" Johnson suddenly Feeling a little bad, could it be that my own adjustment just happened to be in the arms of the other party?

The Spurs in reality have left, but the Spurs in the book are still moving forward, so everyone’s support is still needed. Those who hope that the Spurs will continue to move forward, please support.
