Chapter 150 Fishing in troubled waters!
So Popovich is an old thief. His tactical ideas are based on his ten-year construction of the team, and on the other hand, he is targeted and looking for opponents' weaknesses, which is also extremely terrifying.
He didn't think about how to limit Zhou Mubai. All he did was to cut the time and force Zhou Mubai to have to attack less time.
Just one move made the Knicks' efficiency decrease.
When playing with a team like the Spurs, efficiency and mistakes are crucial.
The Spurs' offense is very stable. Through the so-called dynamic offense and the Spurs' consistent inside line, their offense is very stable and a bit boring, but their efficiency is also very stable. To beat the Spurs, they have to be more efficient than them.
On the other hand, there should be no more mistakes.
The Spurs are very good at using defense to force their opponents to make mistakes. Once they make mistakes, the Spurs can also play conversions.
As the second quarter came, Popovich began to frown.
Because the Knicks' offense began to change.
The Spurs used two people to force Zhou Mubai to pass the ball, and then the Knicks simply made a double pick-and-roll!
Isn’t it just a joint attack? I don’t have many people. Since this is the case, everyone will pile up people in half and take advantage of the situation!
Zhou Mubai used the pick-and-roll to break through with two attacks, because four people ran to the half, and the three-point line seemed empty. Zhou Mubai suddenly went to the paint area and directly scored two points with a throw shot again.
The next time Zhou Mubai rushed in again and threw a ball to Gallinari in the bottom corner. Gallinari did not waste any chance and made a three-pointer.
The Spurs' double-player attack was declared bankrupt.
Popovich immediately adjusted his defense. This time he did not stick to the routine, but made adjustments at any time. He could attack Zhou Mubai at any time, and tried to force Zhou Mubai to walk to both sides. The two who tried to empty were Wilson Chandler and Chris Duhong.
The effect is effective, but the effect does not appear on Zhou Mubai.
Zhou Mubai is clear about the Spurs' plans and will not do what they want at all. He also has the ability to not do as they think. He can still accurately pass the ball out once the shot is hit.
The effect is Wilson Chandler and Chris Duhon. For some reason, their three-pointers are not that they cannot make the game, but that they are relatively inefficient.
The two sides entered the fourth quarter in such a tug-of-war. Wilson Chandler and Du Hong suddenly felt a hand and stopped the Spurs with three-pointers.
When the game came back, the Spurs did not dare to let go, and then Zhou Mubai broke out, scoring 15 points in the last half of the quarter, leading a 21:11 wave of the game.
The results of the game are amazing, but without the last half of the game, the normal game may make people drowsy.
Because Zhou Mubai and Popovich's fight, ordinary fans can't understand it very well.
Each round is a slow breakthrough, then pass the ball and throw three-pointers. There is no exciting fast attack or dunk, just a middle distance, three-pointer, which is very boring.
But from the perspective of senior fans or industry insiders, the information on this game is too great!
The Spurs' invincible defense was broken again and again tonight by Zhou Mubai. In addition to his mid-range, he had more than 60 open balls tonight. If his teammates were a little more accurate, Zhou Mubai would not have a problem with assists of more than 20.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Mubai's data tonight is not particularly outstanding, which is 46 points, 15 assists and 11 rebounds. Although it is still a large triple-double, if Jeffries and Larry Hughes are there, the assists will have to be 20.
For Zhou Mubai, such data is not surprising, but the opponent is the Spurs after all, and few people have such data against the Spurs.
Kobe scored 45 points in a single game against the Spurs, but the data was not as comprehensive as Zhou Mubai, and Zhou Mubai's teammates were much weaker than Kobe's.
Of course, watching data is not the only thing professionals need to do, they need to watch videos and analyze them repeatedly.
Far from Cleveland.
LeBron James pulled the video analyst to drill into the dark room and studied it all day.
——He had to study, after all, the Spurs were his victim.
Not to mention the regular season restrained by the Spurs, just say that he suffered from Spurs fear in 2006-07, and he always felt powerful and had no place to play with the Spurs.
However, he knew in his heart that the Spurs were good at dealing with super giants. Although he was very afraid of the Spurs, he would not belittle himself.
He wanted to find the secret to dealing with the Spurs, but after looking at it for a long time, he found no object to learn.
Most of the superstars in the league do not perform well against the Spurs. The only one is Kobe, but he can't learn Kobe's playing style.
This time, James studied Zhou Mubai's tricks against the Spurs. After studying them for a whole day, he had some ideas, but he still couldn't learn Zhou Mubai's tricks.
With just one move, he couldn't be as stable as Zhou Mubai in the middle distance.
And this move hit the Spurs' weakness.
Zhou Mubai's middle distance is different from Kobe. Kobe's middle distance is generally very difficult, and it seems that he is making a strong shot.
Zhou Mubai made a breakthrough and then took a good-tempo mid-range retreat, so that the front and the people chasing behind the defense could not reach it, and then he easily shot.
This style of playing is very similar to Chris Paul, but he can't learn it.
James thought Zhou Mubai's playing style was similar to his own. After all, he was an all-round player, but this move was really unavailable because his projection was much worse than Zhou Mubai.
This disappointed him a little.
However, Zhou Mubai's anatomy of the defense of the Spurs is really awesome.
In this game, Zhou Mubai basically made the strategies that the Spurs used to go bankrupt.
Zhou Mubai's style of playing is the superstar style, and the Spurs also used the style of playing against superstars, but there was no way to restrict Zhou Mubai.
The reason is that Zhou Mubai has too many weapons in his arsenal, and his ability to read games is even more top-notch.
James claims to be able to read like Zhou Mubai, but he can't play basketball like Zhou Mubai.
His technology is flawed.
Three points, middle distance is his flaw.
"If Zhou Mubai was his teammate, I shouldn't have to be afraid of these things, right?" James suddenly said something in his heart, which scared him.
He had already made a decision not to go to the Knicks because he had no confidence to compete with Zhou Mubai. Now this idea suddenly popped up, which made him feel ashamed because it made him feel the fragility deep in his heart.
Not to mention the shock this game has brought to others, the Knicks' away trip has finally ended, and the Knicks will usher in a new journey.
