Chapter 347 Old Hu Makes Mistakes Too
"I'm sorry, I played so badly in the first half, the fault was all my fault, I was the one who held everyone back!"

For a moment, the locker room was silent.

Why did Hu say that?Is this guy stupid?
Let's go back to the first quarter not long ago, when Lao Hu made that three-pointer.

Repay him in his way!

The three-point shot by Lao Hu just now has the style of Gusu Murong. This ball is a replica of the Spurs' offense, it is exactly the same.

It may not be creative, but playing a ball like this in a game is indeed a very interesting response.

"Good shot! This shot is really reasonable. Once bang, bang, bang pass, this opportunity will come out. If you have the opportunity, you will shoot. This ball is there." Teacher Zhang would not let go of such a reasonable basketball. passed.

"That's right, the ball was played very well. The whole coordination is very similar to that of the Spurs. The passing of the ball and the operation of the whole team are very good." Of course Yu Jia also agrees.

The game continued, and the first ball was coordinated quite well. Lao Hu felt that there was a goal, and of course he would not stop there.

However, that was the end of the first quarter. Lao Hu took a break after 8 minutes. There was no way, the Mavericks had too many outside players.

The Spurs are indeed the most seasoned team in the league. Their style of play is extremely mature, and they will never panic because of changes in their opponents.

However, the Mavericks' substitutes are also very dynamic. When facing old veterans such as Finley and Curry who can no longer be there, Barea and Bass still performed quite well.

By the end of the first quarter, 23 to 25, the Mavericks were only two points behind.

"NBA games are like this. You can't see anything in the first quarter. The performance of the two teams is still very normal. The veterans of the Spurs may be very slow, but the success rate is still quite good. The Mavericks side She still looks younger, and she fights with vigor, but she still makes a lot of mistakes..." Yu Jia first commented on it himself.

"That's right, the Mavericks should control their mistakes and reduce them. This game will be played. We all know that the Spurs are a team. There are not many people under the age of 30. It is said that they are the most problematic. It should be physical strength, but they have a lot of experience and know when to work hard and what to rest. Now that it is the end of the season, it should be time to work hard..." Teacher Zhang also talked eloquently.

After a few minutes of rest, the second quarter will begin immediately.

Needless to say, it was time for the substitutes in the early stage, and the youngsters of the Mavericks had the upper hand this time, and the veterans of the Spurs seemed to be unable to keep up.

Brandon Bass has been in good shape recently. Since this guy got his start in the Lakers game, the bigger the better.Facing a group of old guys this time, he used his young and strong body very cleverly to bully these old guys continuously.

Kuang Ang!

Another follow-up fast break dunk, Bass has scored seven points in this period, the guy waving his arms as he retreated.

"Aha!..."

"Our lad is the best!  …"

Not only Buss himself was excited, but the fans were also driven by his performance.

32比29，第二节开始3分钟，小牛队就到了对手一个9比4的小高潮。

Faced with this situation, Popovich will definitely call a timeout. This will not only allow the old guys under him to breathe, but also disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

Players are too old, this is a chronic problem of the Spurs, but there is no way to do this, this is because the city where the Spurs team is located is too small, they cannot sign stars without restraint like the Knicks or the Lakers .

San Antonio, in terms of population, the city even has more people than Miami, but the problem is that this is just a single city, not an urban agglomeration.In the United States, the size of a city depends on the urban agglomeration and the per capita income of the urban agglomeration.It seems that Atlanta is also small, but it is the headquarters of many multinational companies. Although there are few people, the income is not low, so it is actually a big city.

A small city must have the management methods of a small city. As the general manager and coach of the Spurs, Popovich can be described as a master of budgeting.

For a long time, the Spurs have always been a strong team in the NBA, especially after entering the 21st century, they have won a lot of championships and have maintained more than 50 wins all year round.But if you look at the salary of this team, anyone will praise Popovich, this guy is definitely a genius.

Never paid the luxury tax, and didn't even touch the salary cap. Such a team can still win the championship. Isn't this a genius?
Popovich can accomplish such a great feat, in fact, there are two tricks, the first trick is to sign a large number of veterans.No way, the GDP combination takes up a lot of salary space. Although these three people don’t ask for much, they have to take away at least 4000 million salary shares every year. Popovich wants the team to get together , I can only go to the veteran to give one veteran basic salary after another.Not bad, many people are willing to come, because the Spurs have always been the favorites to win the championship.

The second trick is to avoid rookies. The Spurs draft every year. Thanks to the NBA system, their picks are not high. It's not a pity that Scola and Hu Lin missed it.But in fact, they don't want rookies at all. Looking at their drafts, they are basically all foreigners.Why Choose International Players?Because it only takes 50 US dollars to buy out the contract of an international player that year, that is to say, as long as this person is not good, the Spurs can let them go home at a very low cost, so that they don't need to take up their precious salary.

Therefore, the "oldness" of the Spurs is inevitable. Unless the GDP is retired one day, the Spurs will only get older and older.

In the opening paragraph, the Spurs suffered a loss, but these veterans also have their strengths.

After this timeout, Lao Hu will play, and the rotation will be normal. In the next time, the Mavericks will send out their strongest lineup one after another.

As soon as Lao Hu came on the court, he naturally had to carry out his own ideas, that is, try to let the ball play reasonably, but he needs to defend the next ball first.

The Spurs have also adjusted, Tony Parker came up, Amy Uduka replaced the old Finley, the Spurs changed from a 30-year-old lineup to another 30-year-old lineup, this lineup can be slightly improved Be younger.

Their basketball moves are also very good, no matter how they change, their style of play is the same.

breakthrough!

However, Parker's flexibility is still so difficult to defend.

Lao Hu had been guarding against his move for a long time, pressing close to him without letting go, but Parker was very capable of wiping, and proper defense protection was still necessary.

So, the opportunity came out again.

Still pass the bottom corner, but as long as someone passes by, the Spurs will continue to pass the ball without stopping, and the last two passes finally come to Horry's hands at a 45-degree angle.

Swish!This old guy is not a power forward at all, he is obviously a shooter!

32 draws, but it doesn't matter, Lao Hu firmly believes that he can continue to clone the opponent's playing style, and retaliate one.

After Lao Hu's gesture came out, he still used the pick-and-roll to threaten the opponent's basket first, and then immediately broke through. Although the beginning was different from the Spurs' ball just now, the effect was similar.

The man who made up the defense came again, and there was still space in the bottom corner, and Lao Hu passed the ball without hesitation.

Whoosh!It's not a pass, it's a shot!

That's right, as soon as the ball reached the bottom corner, the veteran Stackhouse there immediately shot it!
This is not the same as what Lao Hu imagined. He actually wanted to play the ball more reasonably, that is, to pass two more times. He said the same thing before playing.

Swish!However, the ball is still there.

"Good shot! However, there is more space in the ball house just now." While giving the veteran a thumbs up, Lao Hu also said tactfully.

"I understand, but such a ball is not too difficult, is it?" Stackhouse has always been like this, and this guy is not a particularly obedient master.

Lao Hu didn't say anything, because what others said was correct, that is the characteristic of Stackhouse, there is absolutely no problem with the timing of the shot, it's just that he didn't choose a better opportunity.

And it's not a bad thing that the goal was scored.

The game continues, and the Spurs are still a very harmonious team basketball. These old guys will never make a shot unless they get tired of passing the ball.Under the leadership of Lao Hu, the Mavericks are still doing their best, but the score has been slowly opened.

40 to 48. At the end of the second quarter, the Mavericks trailed their opponent by 8 points. Although the point difference was not that big, it made Lao Hu feel very uncomfortable!

Unhappy, not because he only scored 17 points in the second quarter, nor because of Carlisle's loud roar in the locker room. Lao Hu was unhappy because he felt that he had made a mistake!
What is wrong?
That is to follow the opponent's rhythm, without considering the own team's own situation at all!

The Mavericks are a young team with a lot of drive and character, but Lao Hu's basketball is too formulaic because he wants to fight back.In other words, although this basketball is working hard in the direction of rationalization, the original passion of the Mavericks has disappeared, which is really very bad.

Moreover, this also caused the players to be unsuitable, just like the veteran Stackhouse's self-assertion, not only him, but his teammates shot directly during the pass process, because this is their Habits, offensive habits that have been formed, needless to mention the results, it is inevitable to strike iron.

Before thinking about tactics, Lao Hu ignored this point. He naively believed that as long as he was a player, he could execute a "reasonable tactical" style of play. He forgot that the thing that the Mavericks are most proud of is maverick !
Comparing team basketball with the Spurs, it's obvious that the Mavericks' young guys are still a bit underwhelmed. It may be difficult for the veterans to break through, but their basketball IQs are all first-class.

Anyway, Lao Hu made a mistake. Although the result is not so irreparable, Lao Hu still decided to stand up and say something.

After Carlisle roared, Lao Hu immediately stood up and said the words at the beginning.

　Continue to ask for votes and support, thank you everyone!
