Basketball: Man in 08, three months left before the Olympics

101:104, 47 seconds left.

Mavericks trail by 3 points on the road, Spurs possession!

Popovich is indeed angry now, and the team has been moved back by a rain of three-point rains after leading by 17 points.

He cursed, “Are you a bunch of people eating for nothing? Why can’t we even keep an eye on individuals, we must not lose the game, go on the field and watch them…”

The players are well aware that Popovich has a bad temper, and even if he doesn’t think so, he will say so.

But he’s a really good coach.

Popovich set up an offensive tactic, and after the timeout, the game returned immediately.

The Spurs serve a frontcourt touchline.

Duncan gave the ball to Parker, who had the ball near midfield, and he had to press the time and scored successfully.

In this case, the chances left for the Mavericks will be very slim.

Kidd is responsible for keeping an eye on Parker in this area, and to be honest, Kidd’s speed is no longer up to the younger generation of French sports cars, but his experience and strong body are the advantage.

Parker didn’t take much advantage of his previous confrontation with him.

7 seconds, 6 seconds…

Parker dribbled, ready to attack.

Duncan has done a good job of blocking him in the high position.

Kidd had also already observed the location of the block, and he chose to bypass.

Nowitzki came out to make up for it, and Parker suddenly accelerated, turned the top and passed the ball to Duncan who cut inside.

Duncan dangled Nowitzki and scored 2 points on an easy layup.

101:106

The crowd cheered, and with only 23 seconds left after they scored the goal, it wasn’t so easy for the Mavericks to win the game.

Carlisle requested a suspension.

Everyone knows very well that without preventing the attack just now, the Mavericks’ chances are slim now.

As for how to play, it is nothing more than a quick attack to chase the score, and then use foul tactics.

————————

In the stands, Christine watched with relish, and the wonderful game made her, who had not felt much about basketball, also pay attention to the game at this time.

“Sister, don’t say, this game is really good, I will learn when I go back, you see Pei Yun’s shooting, Bo!” How accurate! Christine learned Pei Yun’s shooting movements and gestured to one.

Scarlett smiled slightly: “If you want to learn, you can learn, I have long told you that this sport is very fun, how many times have you called you to play together, you said that you were not interested, why are you suddenly interested now?” ”

“Hahaha, there were no handsome people like Pei Yun in the NBA before, eh, you say, can they win tonight?”

Scarlett shook her head: “Difficult, there is not enough time, otherwise it is really possible to win.” ”

……

On the court, the Mavericks players had grim expressions on their faces.

There really isn’t enough time, they have to play a quick attack.

Pei Yunlai serves the touchline ball, he is tall, has a long arm span, and has excellent passing.

Such a player is best suited for serving sideline balls. Nowitzki pulled up to catch the ball from outside the three-point line, and by the way, Duncan moved it out.

Pei Yun serves, Novitsky catches it.

Pei Yun detoured in front of Nowitzki, and the two exchanged hands for the ball while making a ball-holding block.

Pei Yun accelerated, leaned on Duncan to dribble to the basket, and the layup stopped the feint, Duncan did not eat.

After turning around and shooting a feint, Duncan was shaken.

Step up and down for a layup!

Hit!

103:106, there are 19 seconds left in the time, and there is still a chance.

The Mavericks began to press all over the game.

However, the Spurs called a timeout again, and since Popovich has not used timeouts much before, they now have plenty of timeouts.

Called this time, and 1 more.

It’s the same with the Mavericks.

The two sides have entered the foul season, and the most important thing in this stage is that the attacker sends the ball.

The defender must try to make the other side’s mistakes as much as possible.

Because if the pressing fails, you must foul and put the opponent on the free throw line, in which case the chance of turning over will be much reduced.

Soon, the timeout ended and Popovich did not make a substitution.

Although Duncan’s serve percentage was not good on the Spurs court, he was not taken down.

The Spurs served the frontcourt touchline ball, and Ginobili came to execute the serve.

Duncan came out, and the Mavericks players thought he was going to catch the ball, but they didn’t expect it to be to make a no-ball block for Parker.

Because of this block, Parker received the ball.

Kidd had to foul him, and Parker walked to the free throw line and got two free throws.

His free-throw percentage is around 80, which is not too accurate.

To the Mavericks’ relief, Parker missed the first free throw.

But the second penalty hit!

103:107

The difference was still between two balls, and there were only 17 seconds left.

The Mavericks called a final timeout.

Carlisle felt that today’s game was really worth it.

The opponent is not only strong, but also plays very seriously, it can be seen that the Spurs team under the old man Popovich has outstanding team discipline.

Carlisle experimented with his new squad while playing them today and got the best experience.

Now, at the most anxious time, it was time to test his ability to command on the spot.

In view of the advantages of his own lineup, Carlisle began to explain on the tactical board how to obtain offensive possibilities.

This kind of explanation, in the usual training, Carlisle has explained in detail countless times, but at this time, he still has to tell them every link in detail.

The players are not coaches, they are only responsible for fighting on the field, they will not remember those complex tactics, as for how to play and how to cooperate, they have to rely on the coach’s temporary advice.

By analogy, in piano playing, the player is the performer, and the coach is the composer.

The coach draws the score into a score, and the performers just have to find the score and talk.

However, there are exceptions, such as Carlisle, who feels that Pei Yun is the kind of all-powerful person who can be both a composer and a performer.

So, he is a genius.

Therefore, his tactics are completely formulated around Pei Yun!

Of course, this truth is also known by Popovich on the other side, or rather, all people know.

The timeout ended, and the Mavericks front court ball was still Pei Yun’s serve.

Nowitzki mentioned catching the ball from outside the three-point line, but this time, Ginobili’s defensive strategy changed.

Instead of interfering in front of Pei Yun, he went around Novitsky and did not let him catch the ball.

Behind Nowitzki, Duncan waited for the opportunity.

This also means that Pei Yun cannot send the ball to Nowitzki.

Sure enough, as Coach Carlisle said, the opponent will definitely limit Novitsky’s point and prevent him from receiving the ball!

The Mavericks’ roster got into operation.

At this point, after giving memory and Terry group off-ball cover, the UAE suddenly reversed and went to the basket.

As soon as he made a move, Pei Yun deliberately did not look at people and threw the basketball to the basket.

Because of the fear of the Mavericks, a lineup where almost everyone can shoot three-pointers, the Spurs did not keep anyone at all.

UAE jumped high, received a precise pass from Pei Yun, and easily caught the empty score.

105:107

There are 16 seconds left.

This attack, in just a second, the Mavericks completed.

The Spurs players looked at each other, exchanging something, perhaps analyzing who was responsible for this failed defense.

Obviously, judging by their expressions, no one is willing to admit it.

Popovich’s face was embarrassed again, and in his home turf, his defensive strategy was easily cracked by his opponent, in front of tens of thousands of spectators.

He called a final timeout.

This time, he stopped yelling, but calmly explained to the players the strategy of the next attack.

Spurs players know that Popovich is really angry like this.

On the Mavericks’ side, there was rejoicing.

Carlisle’s last pause to set up offense almost predicted how the Spurs defense adjusted.

So there is an air relay between Pei Yun and the UAE.

Although there is no accolade, Carlisle is already a mature coach and he has dealt with a lot of this situation.

Although three points are the fastest weapon to chase points, in such a situation, the speed is not enough.

Opponents invest heavily outside the three-point line to defend, and the inside line is bound to be empty.

As the so-called “soldiers are not tired of fraud”, Carlisle recently studied the ancient books of the Dragon Kingdom with Kuban, and he had some experience.

The Mavericks’ crisis is still not resolved, they are still two points behind and the time remaining is decreasing.

The most important thing is that they have no suspension.

Carlisle simply laid out the defensive strategy and handed over the command of the game to Kidd.

That’s right, it’s Kidd, not Pei Yun.

While Pei Yun is now recognized as the Mavericks’ new core player, in this lineup, Kidd is the point guard.

And in experience, Kidd is obviously stronger than Pei Yun, who is only in second grade.

Kidd is an All-Star point guard and has reached the Finals, and years of experience have taught him when to handle the ball and what makes the most sense.

The timeout ended and the Spurs served the frontcourt touchline.

Except for Duncan, who served the touchline, the rest of the Spurs players gathered around the free throw arc, preparing to form a no-ball cover with each other.

The Mavericks’ defensive players are surrounded on the perimeter.

This is the most common way to serve in the NBA, starting with a huddle situation, and then using each other’s no-ball blocks when appropriate, and spreading apart.

This kind of huddle without the ball is easy to form two or three layers of blocking for the real receiver, and if the opponent’s defensive formation is not handled well, the receiver can easily get the ball sent by his teammates.

Carlisle was clearly prepared for this, he did not use ordinary people to stare at people, and when he encountered no ball to disassemble and substitution.

Instead, there is a special position of the “one-three-front method”.

This kind of position is to let the three Mavericks players stand on the strong side, and the servants and the opponent’s huddle formation are lined up, just like three positions that become horns of each other.

On the weak side, put a player with strong movement and a large defensive area.

Obviously, the player who was put on the weak side by Carlisle is the UAE.

Popovich stood on the sidelines, watching this “weird” defensive stance put out by the Mavericks.

I couldn’t help frowning, and muttered in my heart: “I didn’t expect that this guy Rick Carlisle actually had something!” ”

Indeed, Carlyle’s platoon formation has hardly appeared in NBA history.

This is more like a game between the armies of the two sides on the modern battlefield.

And the Mavericks’ formation is full of gambling.

Or rather, more like a trap.

Just because there is no direct arrangement of defenders between the Spurs’ formation and the basket, only the Arab United on the side has the possibility of supplementing defense.

If it were normal, the Spurs would probably have hoisted the ball directly under the basket and let the inside player complete the open catch or catch under the basket.

However, at this time, it was Tim Duncan who executed the serve on the sideline.

He is the Spurs’ strongest interior lineman on the field.

Popovich asked him to serve the sideline ball, except that his height and arm length were not easily disturbed, and the biggest advantage was that the Mavericks could not foul him if Duncan was not allowed to be the receiver.

In this way, the Spurs’ most inaccurate free throw point on the field is gone.

However, Popovich felt that his platoon formation was calculated by Carlisle!

The normal treatment should be to immediately call another timeout and rearrange the serving tactics.

Unfortunately, though, the Spurs no longer have a serving tactic.

On the field, the Mavericks’ position began to show its beauty.

Because they occupy three people like a “defensive line” on the strong three-point line, Parker has a big obstacle to catching the ball directly outside the three-point line by blocking without the ball.

And to pass the ball far to the weak side of the Mavericks’ weak defense, firstly, Duncan’s passing ability is not strong, and secondly, the UAE over there has a good defensive area and is not very stable.

Moreover, if the ball is hoisted under the basket, the Spurs inside without Duncan under the basket have no advantage.

The whistle of the serve sounded, and Parker’s outer pull was indeed heavily blocked by the Mavericks’ “Front”.

Duncan didn’t know what to do with the ball.

“Far! Distal! Popovich shouted from the sidelines.

Duncan hesitated again and again, opting for a cross across the half.

He rarely passes like this, and with Novitsky in front of him, he has a lot of power.

Although he crossed the UAE defensive area, his teammate Bonner did not receive the ball.

The ball is passed wide and goes straight out of bounds.

The Spurs missed!

Duncan looked dumbfounded, as if the ball had nothing to do with him.

Popovich was so furious, he didn’t say anything now, walked straight back to the Spurs bench, sat back on his ass, kept his head down, and didn’t look at what was happening on the field at all.

Yes, this round, Popovich felt that his team had simply failed to the extreme.

His most proud player, Tim Duncan, actually made such a nonsensical mistake, sending the ball out of bounds directly out of bounds?

To say that Duncan served was unprofessional, it was, but Popovich didn’t plan to let him serve that way in the first place.

In his understanding, the Mavericks certainly couldn’t completely stop Parker from going out to catch the ball, and Duncan just had to hand the ball to Parker.

However, Carlisle’s strange arrangement surprised Popovich and achieved a miraculous effect.

In the final analysis, it was he who underestimated his opponent too much in the battle with Carlisle, which caused such a major mistake at the most critical moment!
