330 On-site observation

At the end of a day's training, everyone wiped their sweat and prepared to leave. Only Zhang Chen and David Li stayed. Zhang Chen's self-training has become a habit. He often uses the practice method to integrate the content learned in his learning space with reality. In such an integration, his technology is also It began to make continuous progress.

David Li also learned very well in the small stove that Zhang Chen opened for him alone. He averaged ten points per game this season. A large part of such achievements include Zhang Chen's credit. After all, Zhang Chen has been tirelessly training with him after formal training and taught him some offensive steps. Something like that. With the help of these steps, David Lee's offensive and defensive abilities have improved to a certain extent.

"Hey, Chen... I think I have to thank you." While David Li was moving his footsteps on the floor and making his footsteps more proficient, he would not say to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen hit a three-pointer and then laughed, "Why thank me?"

David Li smiled and said, "It is because of your help these days that I can be more flexible when I am stuck, and I am more impactful when grabbing rebounds. In the process of attack, I can also find my own direction."

"These are all right, as long as you make progress." Zhang Chen and David Li occasionally chatted, and occasionally did not interfere with each other. After completing today's training task, the two parted ways.

Two days later, the Knicks went to Boston to challenge the Spurs away. The team caused irreparable regrets to Zhang Chen and D'Antony last season, so Zhang Chen went to San Antonio with revenge in this game. After arriving in San Antonio, Zhang Chen and D'Antoni's appearance immediately ushered in the boos of those loyal fans. The whole stadium was almost surrounded by boos. Zhang Chen was still a little unaccustomed to such a welcome.

The Knicks originally went to this game with the recent winning streak. They thought that they should be very likely to win against the Spurs now, but the Spurs soon taught the Knicks a lesson. In the collision in the first quarter, the Knicks have been suppressed by the Spurs, and many people in the Knicks have really experienced the Spurs' impeccable attack and defense - they don't seem to be a team, but a sophisticated machine. Every player is a clockworker in that big machine. , or a part of the engine, in short, they can find their own position.

Therefore, every attack and defense of the Spurs is slow and slow, and there is always a calm and calm expression on their faces. Every attack is a movement in which the clockwork rotates and the precision instruments run slowly. Every defense is also formed by the cooperation of the clockwork.

The Knicks' current attack and defense are a huge gap compared with the beginning of the season. Their current attack is close to a feature of being well organized and fast. Their attack is quite fast, as if the wind has swept over the hills, sharp and fast, and can end the opponent silently with attack. As for their defense, they are also training again and again, especially in the construction of the defensive framework on the basis of Zhang Chen's defense professor a few days ago, which has gradually become well organized. Therefore, the current Knicks are definitely not a mob, but a kind of sophisticated fighting will and fighting. The elite teacher of rules.

It's just that they are still far from the Spurs. The Spurs gave them a lesson, a vivid education lesson.

The Spurs' attack and defense are a quite efficient way. In the past, the Suns have suffered losses in such attack and defense, but now the times have changed, and Zhang Chen's jersey has changed from the Suns to the Knicks. It's just that they really can't do something about such a strong team.

In fact, the Knicks have always been playing a downwind this season. When they face a weak team or a semi-strong team, they can often kill their opponents with a decadent attack and defense, but in the face of a strong team, they often can't do too much, such as in the face of When there is a strong team like the Magic Celtics, they try their best to solve their opponents. It's the same with the Spurs today. It's a hard bone to gnaw.

In the first quarter, the Knicks were basically in a state of being suppressed by the Spurs. In the first quarter, they lost 5 points to the Spurs. This was also because of the sudden outbreak of Zhang Chen in the last minute of the first quarter. Otherwise, the Spurs would have to lead them.

Zhang Chen scored 6 points in the last minute of the first quarter, which made the Knicks recover a little score, otherwise they would be a little too poor today. When facing a really strong team, it is always difficult for the Knicks to take out the real weapon to defeat the opponent.

At the beginning of the second quarter, it was a competition between the substitutes of the two sides. Both sides had their own wins and losses, but the Spurs put the demon knife Ginobili on the court and let him lead the whole Spurs' substitute lineup forward. As a result, with Ginobili's efforts, the Knicks' substitutes later collapsed, and the Knicks had to send Out of the main force, they were nine points behind by this time.

After re-entering the court, the person who controlled the ball became Zhang Chen, and he controlled the ball outside the opponent's three-point line. For this Spurs, Zhang Chen's several encounters in the playoffs last season also made him understand the ferocity of the team, and he can also know many of their offensive and defensive methods. However, the Spurs have made a lot of moves. Coupled with the super defensive adaptability of the insider Duncan's poker face, it is difficult for Zhang Chen to open the situation. The Knicks' attack encountered their precision defense, which was also destroyed, and their defense could not play much role in front of the Spurs.

So, the end of the second quarter heralded the collapse of the Knicks. At the end of the first half, they were 15 points behind their opponents.

Back in the locker room, everyone's faces were not good. D'Antoni didn't get as angry as everyone thought, but stood in front of the crowd. Then he said, "Guys, the situation may be a little difficult now. It is difficult for us to find the weakness of the Spurs, but the Spurs are in Taking our weaknesses to make an article, it is difficult for us to really compete with them. Our main purpose of this game is not to win. Now it is more important for us to learn something from the Spurs, such as everyone's position when attacking, such as everyone's position and running range when defending, carefully observe our opponent players, look at their running position and The situation in defense."

"Yes!" Everyone agreed that it seems that the main purpose of D'Antoni today is not to win, but to learn from the opponent's experience in this game that is likely to lose and slowly extend to the whole team.

D'Anthony's calculation was still quite loud. At the beginning of the third quarter, the ball right of the first ball was in the hands of the Knicks. Zhang Chen controlled the ball for half-time, and then he used his CROSSOVER in front of Ginobili. Ginobili's center of gravity was unstable by him, which was full of fake. The demon knife of the action also lost its center of gravity in front of Zhang Chen. Then, Zhang Chen used a step of acceleration to kill directly into the inside line. The speed was so fast that his legs swept into clouds, and floated into the inside line in the pursuit of the Spurs players.

The home fans booed Zhang Chen extremely fiercely, because in last season's game, Zhang Chen used his Foshan shadowless legs to let Bao Wen retire directly. This unforgettable hatred made the home fans shout in anger at Zhang Chen without exception. Unfortunately, Zhang Chen often fights higher and higher in the boos. For example, in the first quarter of the past, he scored 11 points in the boos of the whole audience.

Being put into the inside line by Zhang Chen is a disaster. The inside line of the Spurs began to defend Zhang Chen in an orderly manner, and several Knicks players standing next to him were also a little thoughtful - the position of each player of the Spurs is not aimless. They are all parts that make up a precision instrument, and naturally have their own position. Set and operate rules. The machine began to run slowly, and it was about to devour Zhang Chen completely - in the first quarter, the Spurs often did this kind of thing, and they devoured their opponents in their gears without pity.

Seeing that Zhang Chen was also slowly swallowed up by such gears, the members of the Knicks did not have time to check their defense, but nervously paid attention to Zhang Chen's direction.

Zhang Chen was shrouded in the dark clouds of Duncan's block, and it was a little difficult to get out for a while, but he quickly hugged the basketball and tossed around in the inside line of the Spurs with his flexible footsteps. He quickly found the right direction for him, and then he threw.

Zhang Chen's throwing arc is full and tall. He is often able to leave the ground very high and high before he finally begins to fall. The same is true. The basketball flies higher and higher in the sky. After flying to the highest point, it falls along the arc, and finally falls into the basket.

Zhang Chen scored two points to the Knicks, and then the Spurs' attack began.

D'Anthony's task to the Knicks players is to watch as much as possible, and now is a good time to observe. The Spurs are now Parker's control of the ball. He doesn't slowly control the ball halfway, and finally reaches beyond the three-point line. At this time, Parker was not in a hurry to attack, but passed the basketball to the demon knife Ginobili.

The defensive player facing Ginobili is Zhang Chen. In this game, Ginobili can clearly perceive the change from Zhang Chen's body - his defensive threat is getting stronger and stronger. In the combination of flexible footsteps and dazzling defensive movements, Ginobili is often defended by Zhang Chen. Reject the door. At the same time, Zhang Chen's strength is also getting stronger and stronger. Now he finds that Zhang Chen can't hit him at all, unless you want to experience the result of a violent impact on a wall.

Zhang Chen's defense was still tight this time. His footsteps crossed a defensive meat grinder, and Ginobili's offensive test slowly collapsed in front of this meat grinder. Ginobili is also aggressive, and he doesn't want to attack the whole team for the time being.

Ginobili made a quite amazing change in front of Zhang Chen. This change was so fierce that Zhang Chen was almost shaken to the ground. Fortunately, he stood firm at his feet at the critical moment. In fact, Zhang Chen can clearly see Ginobili's wrist turning movement just now, but he also knows that Ginobili is quite cunning on the NBA court - after all, he is a player who has been baptized by a fairly strict international competition and stands out from these baptisms, so Ginobili's foul action It is often possible to avoid the sight of the referee. Then again, like Ginobili's rapid wrist turning, just like Iverson's, the referee may not point it out when he sees it, because all this happened too fast.

Ginoberly acted quite quickly. As soon as Zhang Chen was shaken by him, his center of gravity shifted a little. He immediately accelerated his body and went straight into the inner line. The speed was so fast, which made Zhang Chen feel the pain of the defenders who were passed by his fake action - this kind of opponent seemed to press the fast-forward button. The situation is really unprepared.

Ginobili entered the inside line, but what surprised Zhang Chen was that he did not choose to force himself to lay up, but let his body fly directly to the border and throw the basketball out over the border.

The basketball appeared smoothly in the hands of his old partner Duncan. Because Ginobili had just attracted too much defensive attention, Duncan's ball was quite easy to shoot. The basketball did not even have anything to do with the basket, so it simply inserted it into the net and made a crisp trill.

"This ball..." Zhang Chen thought about the ball just now. Obviously, people like Ginobili will never be greedy as long as their teammates have an easier way to send the basketball into the basket. This not only leads them to win the friendship and respect of their teammates, but also It also made him get a beautiful assist data. Ginobili's assist timing just now was just right, and the timing of passing the ball was also fully in line with the maximization of interests. Zhang Chen looked at Ginobili, who seemed to be relaxed as if he had no effort, and couldn't help cheered secretly.

Players like Ginobili are too mature, unusually mature, will not be hot-headed, and can always keep the team's situation and his physical condition in mind. In fact, Ginobili's playing style can also greatly reduce his tendency to injury.

Ginobili's demon knife not only has the power to break through, but his shooting is also accurate, which makes Zhang Chen's defense quite difficult. Zhang Chen played with the demon knife many times last season, and naturally understands how horrible this person's strength is.

Ginobili's assist helped the Spurs recover the lead by two points. Then Zhang Chen of the Knicks came to the sudden stop jump shot near the free throw line and scored two points again. The Spurs Parker directly returned the color with a throw after a breakthrough, so the scores of the two sides rose separately in this situation, but not The Knicks are already behind the Spurs, so they have never been able to overtake the Spurs.

At the end of the third quarter, the score of the two sides was 68:57, and the Knicks were 11 points behind. The Knicks' backward score was not too exaggerated, but according to the staunch style of the Spurs, it is estimated that the Knicks will not have much chance to achieve a big turnaround. .

"The third quarter is over... Do you have any ideas?" D'Antoni gathered all the players around him and began to use examples to explain the concept of attack and defense.

"I think their attack and defense are like a precision machine... Every attack and defense are well organized, and most importantly, the Spurs' front arrangement can put each player in the most suitable position... No one is omnipotent. They play with the cooperation of the whole team, every Players can find their own value in the tactical system. Zhang Chen said this sentence after thinking about it for a while.

"Okay, that's right! Especially the sentence you said later, in your words, is to make the best use of their talents. The Spurs can always tap the potential of some players, so that some players who originally thought they had nothing to do become indispensable to the Spurs... The complementarity between players and the team also leads to their team. Continuous progress. The reason is that on the arrangement and execution of tactics, everyone is a pawn in the offensive route, and these pieces can ask themselves according to their position in the tactical system and try to do their own things well. Because everyone has done their own things well, so this lineup can It works smoothly... I think this is a secret of the Spurs... Therefore, everyone should pay attention to such system rules, how each of their players realizes their lineup value, and how they play well in their own position.

D'Anthony's big words gave them some inspiration. The Spurs' attack and defense are well organized, and most of the time it comes from such things to make the best use of their talents. In the attack and defense based on this, the real strength of the Spurs is magnified, and the player 1+1 produces three The effect.

"So, I hope everyone can embark on such a path in the future. Every player shines in his own position. I think this will definitely improve our strength!" D'Antoni finally made a summary.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and after D'Antoni participated in the last quarter, he also took out his notebook and wrote down some changes in future training content and training status.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs played quite conservatively but also played very carefully. In comparison, the Knicks had to play more liberally, but the Spurs could always strangle the Knicks' life in their steady attack and defense, which made it difficult for them to act rashly, so it was until At the end of the game, the Knicks were unable to recover the gap.

The final score was 99:87. The Knicks lost an away game in San Antonio by 12 points, but they also found something useful for themselves today.
