Chapter 286 Argentine Tango

As Murphy said to Xie Miaomiao at the press conference, Popovich had already taken the lead in calling for a timeout, not because his players had a problem playing, but because the old man wanted to make adjustments first.

Popovich's coaching style is not as calm as Phil Jackson, and he is not as nervous as Van Gundy. This old soldier is very decisive.

As long as he thinks it is necessary, he will give orders without looking at the situation on the court. Even if the Spurs are not at a disadvantage, this old guy has always been like this, because now he wants to do it first.

"The score is deadlocked. I need to make adjustments and need to be replaced." Popovich's words have always been so simple and straightforward, just like giving orders to his subordinates in the army. There is always an irresistible sense of severity. Although it is not Popovich using his identity as a coach, you must be serious. Listen.

Those stubborn elements who stab can't get along with the Spurs at all. Popovich won't care how much you get a year. As long as you don't accept the guy, get out of the team immediately and never come back.

At first glance, this tough method seems a little unreasonable, but you can't find out anything wrong, because Popovich represents the highest will of the Spurs, and he wants a team, not an individual.

Even if you are a big star, you have to serve the team, otherwise you will get out of here immediately.

The Spurs are not a star team in the NBA. Even if they have won three NBA championships, they are still not popular with League President David Stein because they play too practical.

However, Popovich's Spurs are so simple and effective. Even if the TV broadcaster has no air relay, no artillery fast attack, and only the efficient offensive team has never had a good impression, but this does not change Popovich's coaching style in the Spurs, let alone the strong defense of the Spurs. Guard.

"Brent, come down and rest for a while. Emmanuel, you must stand in front of Pierce later. That guy has scored six points. You'd better let him consume as much physical strength as possible on the defensive end."

Old Barry has no doubt about such an arrangement. He just quietly put the towel on his shoulder and then put on the training suit. The rest now does not mean that Popovich will not throw him on the field again.

Ginobili, who stood up from the bench, in addition to taking off his training clothes, also said that he had any superfluous problems. Everyone in the Spurs was the same. This is the military thinking created by Popovich.

There is only an order, no reason. Popovich is the highest officer. He gives the order, and you just need to execute it.

"Francisco, when you are defending under the basket, you must stand and don't follow the footsteps of No. 99 too much. Your speed is not dominant, and you will be caught by him."

"Get stuck, try not to let him get close to the basket, and when competing for rebounds, you should cut off the connection between him and Jefferson. You and Tim should pay attention to protecting the rebounds and not giving the opponent a second chance to attack. Although No. 99 only got two points, he has grabbed two front-court rebounds, and they With these two front-court rebounds, they have scored four points. It's better not to give them such an offensive opportunity next.

Popovich pointed to Elson and said, but it was not the harsh tone of reprimand. He just calmly told his team members what to do. He also knew that it was a little difficult for Elson to keep an eye on Chen Feng, but in the opening stage, he really needed such a The blue collar went to the basket to have a hand-to-hand fight with Chen Feng.

Maybe Duncan's offensive and defensive ability is higher than Elson's, but it's obviously not a good idea to use his most efficient weapon to deal with Chen Feng at this time, so Popovich still told Elson to complete the task. As for how to use Duncan, Popovich and other arrangements, this inside cannon will naturally play its power. Of.

"I don't care what method you use to suppress them in the position battle. The Celtics have not played their smoothest fast attack so far. We should not be suppressed in this kind of position battle."

Neither Elson nor Duncan, who had been wiping the sweat on his head with a towel next to him, did not say much, but after Popovich said this, they all nodded and said that they had understood.

It is said that the Spurs are a whole and rarely have any disputes, but this can only be a very profound experience if you really become one of them. Moreover, these guys are absolutely obedient to Popovich's orders. No one ever wants to make trouble like a thorn. This is the most terrible thing. .

Popovich's order can be conveyed to any player, and the other side will implement it seriously. This extremely strong integrity could not even be done by Phil Jackson when he coached the Bulls.

No wonder in the era of three consecutive championships, Phil Jackson's most unwilling opponent to meet is the Spurs.

The gorgeousness of the Lakers, once it comes into the practicality of the Spurs, it will be very difficult, but Popovich's team is a little less fierce to the end, otherwise, they are the second piston.

It's not the piston that defeated the Lakers F4, but the rogue army that overwhelmed Joe. The current piston is just a knockoff in those years, and it is a little less.

In the Spurs, Duncan is not Joe's leader. He will not ask for any privileges, but Popovich will create all opportunities for him, and when others are in trouble, Popovich will stand in front of them to block.

Therefore, never envy how efficient Popovich's team is, because such a team does not have a second team in the whole league, no quarrels, grabs mobile phones, and they only have super high efficiency.

Even if Murphy is a typical Celtics supporter, he will show his envy when he meets the Spurs. Rivers can control his group of wild kids, but the gap between him and Popovich is still very obvious. However, maybe Rivers can create a guy who is different from a horse. The stabbed alternative bandit army, but this kind of speculation can only be a guess now. I hope Rivers can.

However, at this stage, Rivers is obviously still at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Popovich. The Spurs are making tactical adjustments and personnel rotation, but the Celtics don't have any action. Rivers just make full use of the pause time and carefully explain the wild kids. Pay attention to The success rate in the attack, the score is in a stalemate. At this time, whoever makes a mistake first may be overturned.

It's a good way to adapt to change, but sometimes, such a move may be regarded by many people as conservative, or the coach lacks adaptability. Rivers is not such a conservative, but in the face of Popovich, a resourceful and powerful opponent. He just hopes that he can make a move.

But Rivers is still one move behind. Some big moves can't be dismantled by himself. Especially the previous turbulent game process has made him a little paralyzed. He thought he could follow the rhythm of this position battle with his opponent, but some guys in the Spurs have strong ability. Force.

The Spurs paused back and only changed one person, but Ginobili's appearance is definitely not good news. After all, this guy's threat on the offensive side is far more ferocious than old Barry. Even if Pierce is against him, he will be enchanted by that guy's ecstasy little water snake waist, twisting and lose the sense of defensive card position. Jue.

Tango may not be as enthusiastic and unrestrained as samba, but the psychedelic dance steps from the Pampas grassland will definitely dazzle anyone. Even if Pierce has lowered his center of gravity on the defensive end and is waiting to welcome the impact of Ginobili, once the two really collide face to face, you can feel the ghost of the "demon knife" Charming.

There is really no language to describe the structure of Ginobili's body. Anyway, when Pierce watched the other party pass by like a twist, his center of gravity had been completely shaken away from the proper defensive direction. In the end, he could only watch Ginobili step on the ecstasy dance steps. Over.

It is said that tango is a secret dance between lovers. Every man wears a short knife when dancing. I guess it is also because he is afraid that his husband will suddenly come back for self-defense. But only when you see Ginobili's breakthrough on the scene will you feel this dazzling psychedelic dance step, which is also very Strong lethality, but when you understand, it's really a knife, and you can only watch all this happen in front of you.

Twisting his body to complete the breakthrough. At the moment when Pierce stepped into the three-point line, the Argentine had made all the preparations before the attack, holding the ball, holding it high, and shooting before being blocked.

Urgent stop, jump shot, basketball draws a perfect arc in the air, accurately plunges into the basket, everything is done quickly, in one go, the whole offensive process is like a standard one-man show.

Maybe Ginobili is the only person under Popovich who can play without the rules. Even Popovich himself has said that the Argentine is absolutely free on the court, because this guy is indeed an alternative.

A very standard Pampas madman, only a crazy person like him will throw his small body into the pile of people again and again, constantly twisting his body in the air, avoiding the block, and throwing the basketball in.

And every time Ginobili's breakthrough, he seems to be knocked away. Even after shooting, he may fall down on the hard floor, but it is such a fearless madman who can become the sharpest knife under Popovich and the most threatening sixth on the Spurs bench. People.

If the Spurs fans had been watching the ball calmly before, then in the second after Ginobili's attack, all the Spurs fans sitting in the AT&T Central Arena had stood up from their seats and waved their hands crazily. , who began to stamp his feet and began to shout for the Argentines.

"Beautiful breakthrough! Great Ginobili! He was not soft when he faced Pierce!"

The Spurs' commentator has not performed so much before, but at this moment he doesn't mind such a voice. There's nothing he can do. Argentines are their favorites, especially after such a beautiful performance.

These fans, who are as calm as the Spurs, only burst out their ** when Ginobili played. The shouts reached the peak in an instant, and the whole scene looked extremely hot.

It's just that the Spurs guys still retreat very calmly. Even Ginobili, who has just completed a beautiful attack, has no excited expression on his face at this moment, as if all this is a matter of course. He has just completed a job that should have been done by himself. .

"I really have nothing to say. Every time I meet the Spurs, I will be stimulated by this guy. Damn it. Why does such a guy get such a little salary under Popovich?"

Rivers can only express his helplessness about Ginobili's performance. After all, there are really few defenders who can completely nail the Argentines in the league. I guess only Uncle Bao's black-handed and black-footed guy can do it. However, the old animal is also the Spurs, which makes people too helpless. That's it!

However, Rivers and Siberdu can only sympathize with Pierce's experience, but there is no need to be too entangled. Anyway, such a situation happens every season. When encounters Ginobili's breakthrough, most people have no choice but to pray that the guy can't stand up after falling down, you really have no other way to limit it. He.

But Popovich threw Ginobili on the court so early, which means that the old guy wants to change the stalemate of the score, but this situation is definitely not good news for Rivers.

"Maybe the Spurs want to change the offensive problem. After all, Brent does not have such a breakthrough ability, and Ginobili is obviously involved in his energy when he comes to Pierce. If our attack can still maintain the previous efficiency, it is not a big problem, but it needs embankment now. Is there any other hand in Popovich's arrangement? I feel that he called a pause for a replacement.

Siberdou exchanged views with Rivers in a low voice. His assistant coach, who has always focused on tactics, will not naively think that Popovich shouted a timeout, just to replace Ginobili. With the sharp breakthrough of the Argentine, maybe the old guy will have other tactical adjustments, but now What Rivers wants to pay attention to may not be those back moves. Ginobili's appearance alone is a headache for him.

Ginobili not only created a lot of pressure on the Celtics on the offensive end, but also has quite strong destructive power.

Don't forget that he is the super sixth person under Popovich's account. Even the main players like Duncan and Parker have to admit that the Argentine's fierce performance on the field is one of the main reasons why they are so strong this season. Without this tango Dancers always have a little less crazy taste.

Szebiak had always felt uncomfortable under the personal care of Uncle Bao. As a result, in the Celtics' wave of attack, Rondo passed the ball to him in the empty position, but this guy made a mistake.

If you see the whole process, you may not blame all the responsibility on Szebiak, but Rivers really wanted to curse in a low voice on the sidelines, "That damn guy actually ignored Ginobili!"

No wonder Rivers complains so much. The main reason is that Szebiak's mistake annoys him a little too much.

There is no problem with the legend of Rondo, but when Szebiak was cepping the ball, he wanted to avoid the entanglement of Uncle Bao, so this guy focused all his attention on the card position and completely forgot to watch the movement behind him.

As a result, Ginobili touched it so quietly. This guy's behavior is absolutely risky, because behind him is Pierce, who is already completely undefended.

If Szebiak controls the ball and passes it out, Pierce must be a standard empty shot.

But this can only be assumed that Szebiak has no eyes behind his head, and he has not seen Ginobili sticking behind his back like a ghost, so everything happened naturally.

Szebiak is stuck, or Uncle Bao just let this guy get stuck, so that the hand that controls the ball is farther away from his body and closer to Ginobili.

The Argentine is not a ghost thief, but he will never miss such a simple break. He only needs to gently move his fingertips, so simple that Ginobili does not have to have more extra movements.

He broke the ball, started, and ran wildly. When Rondo, the first Celtics to defend, just ran outside the three-point line, Ginobili had completed a beautiful one-handed dunk.

There is no violent and powerful action, that is, simply grab the basketball in your hand, and then pour it in lightly. The basketball rack has not shaken, but the score on the court has changed again.

A sudden stop jump shot, a quick attack after a steal, Ginoby used the simplest way to wake up the crazy shouts and hot tango steps in the AT&T central stadium, which flashed on the territory of the Spurs.

Suppressing the dance steps of Argentine tango and continuing to dance so wantonly is definitely a problem that Rivers has to consider now. However, Spreville is absent due to injury. If the current peripheral defense relies on Pierce to keep an eye on Ginobili, it will only affect Pierce's offensive efficiency. This choice of positioning is very useless. Nai.

But now Rivers can't think of a better way. He can only hope that the team's offensive rhythm will not be affected by the Argentine "demon knife". The damn demon dancer has now become a big trouble for the Celtics. What kind of destructiveness he can cause? Rivers can't predict it for the time being. ......
