Chapter 222

The choice should be handed over to the management first.

The next opponent, the Raptors, made Popovich a little bit battered. The new NBA champion, and what he once thought was Duncan's successor, things are different, and things are different.

Popovich took a sip of his drink and continued watching the video.

The Raptors are very simple, Varan is a fake starter, and he is responsible for topping old-fashioned centers, such as Mr. Yue, Dadi, Nurkic, Baibian, Vucevic, etc. who will also use the classical center to play inside, and then Ibaka and Siakam's two 4th positions with both range and mobility are used to assist in defense and harassment. Of course, a heavy small forward like Mr. Ka is also a good assist in defense.

Outside Lowry is in charge of the overall situation, top 3D players like Huang Ama, Van Fleet, CJ Myers, Anunoby are on the bench, a beautiful 9-man rotation lineup, reckless in the East, only the Bucks , Green Kai, and the 76ers still have the power to fight back.

None of the three teams took part in a major personnel challenge, and Lu Kai still placed his bets on this group of young people, unwilling to break up the pieces into wholes, and exchanged two 2 yuan and one 50 yuan for other people's 20 yuan.

The weakness of the 76ers is obvious. The two main players of the team have shooting shortcomings. One is unable to keep shooting due to yip disease, and the other directly refuses mid-to-long-range shots. It is to be targeted to death.

Popovich's thoughts returned, not thinking about those Eastern Conference teams that could play the Raptors.

The Raptors have only lost two games so far. One was the Celtics, one of the previews of the Eastern Conference finals. Mars hit the earth. Teacher Ka scored 42 points, and Irving scored 43 points, which was Irving's three-pointer in the last 3 seconds , Killed the Raptors.

What mistakes did the Raptors make in this game? The only problem is that Mr. Ka and Ibaka missed two consecutive middle distances in the end. This is purely a matter of touch.

The second game was lost to the Warriors, emmmmm, and was shot to death by Curry's three-pointer. As long as the Warriors still have Curry, they will still be the favorites to win the championship.

"You gotta play like Curry."

? ? ? ?Xiao Hang was called to the office by Popovich, and was startled by his strange request.

Wait, didn't the other day make me want to be like Jordan.

"Okay, just kidding, I hope your offense is more on the three-point line. I know your style of play and like to attack from the mid-range, because in this era, the defense against the mid-range is the weakest, And your mid-range is the most accurate." Popovich paused: "But this era is the era of three-pointers, or the era of pursuit of efficiency, 40% of three-pointers are more efficient than 50% of two-pointers Too many, although you are now averaging 2.3 three-pointers per game, but Curry has averaged more than 4 three-pointers per game for the sixth consecutive season, and his peak last season was 5.2 three-pointers per game , There are currently 4.3 this season, as long as there are 2 outbreaks, it may exceed 5."

Xiao Hang also knows these data. After all, he must be familiar with every defender. Curry brings a lot of pressure on the three-point line. One stop on the three-point line is worth 2000 million, and then other points and assists are on the ball. The addition of other players on the team and the dominance at critical moments all add up to this 4000 million maximum salary.

Xiao Hang's style of play is still more classical, stronger than Jordan Kobe's attainments on the three-point line are relatively average. Even if Kobe has a record of 12 three-pointers in a single game, his three-point shooting percentage in his entire career is still low , The season with the most shots averaged 6.5 shots and 2.2 goals per game, but he won the scoring leader of the year, and it was also the highest scoring season of Kobe's entire career with 35.4 points per game.

Popovich did not let Xiao Hang express on the spot, after all, changing his style of play is actually a "denial" of a player, Xiao Hang needs to think, he needs to communicate with his agent.

However, after Xiao Hang went back, he immediately practiced three-pointers in the training hall, and tried Curry's shot by the way.

"Coach Popovich, they are interviewing a new trainer, are you interested in taking a look?" Physical fitness and rehabilitation coach Matt called Popovich's office.

"That Chinese?" Popovich's tone was a bit playful.

"Well, she also brought a bottle of wine."

"Okay, I'll come."

"I'm sorry, Coach Popovich is flying to Toronto to meet us on the next plane due to personal reasons." The chief assistant coach Messina is now temporarily the leader of the Spurs.

At this time, Popovich was sleeping soundly on his bed with the bottle in his arms, and the word "Maotai" was impressively printed on the bottle.

"Sorry, I need to deal with the situation." Before the game against the Raptors, Popovich finally appeared in the locker room.

This Chinese wine is really good, Popovich still has lingering fears, he was just a bit greedy, and he became so drunk unexpectedly.

Popovich came here in time for today's plane, and coach Messina is in charge of everything before the game.

But fortunately, the management understands Popovich's situation better. Spurs general manager Buford only told the coaching staff that Popovich has a personal matter to deal with, and did not disclose the specific situation, and did not make him "shame" in front of the coaching staff. "Otherwise the loss of majesty is not a good influence on the head coach.

After the pre-match arrangement was completed, Xiao Hang and Popovich went to the bathroom at the same time by coincidence.

"I've thought about it, and I'm going to try it."

"Okay, come on, young man." Popovich shook, then patted Xiao Hang on the back, and then smiled ghostly.

"Doesn't the coach wash his hands?" Xiao Hang watched as Popovich was about to go out of the bathroom.

"No, it's clean, hehe."

Xiao Hang was a little puzzled, why the coach became more and more strange.

The Raptors' tactics today are a bit strange. Teacher Ka does not fight against Xiao Hang, but takes charge of Xiao Hang, and Green defends against Xiao Hang.

Popovich's understanding is that Kaka needs to work harder on the offensive end, and he will not fight with Xiao Hang on the defensive end.

The situation on the field is indeed the same. DeRozan is easier to defend than Xiao Hang. For Teacher Ka, DeRozan's signature is to break through and hit mid-range jumpers.

Then playing ordinary defenders, relying on their strong body and flexible feet, can indeed create room for jump shots.

However, in front of Mr. Ka, they were all forced jumpers. In the first quarter, he shot an embarrassing 4-of-1 shooting percentage. Curry, who has no whistle, has more than 6.9 point. As he gets older, DeRozan becomes more and more obsessed with mid-range shots. This is not a good sign.

Teacher Ka continued to score steadily, 4 of 3 and 2 free throws, scoring 8 points.

Fortunately, with Xiao Hang, the Spurs were relatively stable against Huang Ama, 4 of 3, including 2 three-pointers, and 1 breakthrough caused a foul, scoring 10 points in a single quarter.

It was also officially Xiao Hang's 10 points in a single quarter that made the Spurs only 23 points behind 29 to 6.

At the same time, Xiao Hang feels that today's tactics are more inclined to him. Could it be that if he agrees to shoot three-pointers, his tactical status will rise?
