0168 Chapter The last trick month
De Juan Blair is a good meat shield, but he also has fatal flaws, that is, his height and wingspan. Blair, who is over two meters tall, weighs kilograms. If he is better than the position, many inside players may not be able to beat him.
But Lin Yi has the most experience in dealing with such a "little fat man"!
That is, don’t fight attrition with him and just crush him with your talent.
Popovich also discovered that Lin Yi was using a rush to grab, not a rush to grab, and this was just bullying the Spurs' inside no one!
Fortunately, the No. 2 rookie can still grab a few backcourt rebounds for the Spurs, otherwise the Spurs may not even have half of the Knicks in the third quarter for rebounding.
Those who win rebounds will win the world, this sentence is not a random saying.
However, Popovich also noticed one thing, that is, the hp of "Stone Buddha" has been continuing to decline.
No matter how hard Duncan is an iron man, he can't be without being tired!
In the first half of today, he faced Lin Yi, and many balls were deliberately consuming Duncan, because while you were consuming me, I was consuming you!
Why not use this kind of shooting style in the first half? In addition to the Knicks' unwilling to start betting in advance, there is another more important reason that Duncan, who is in good physical fitness, can guarantee the backcourt rebounds for the Spurs.
However, in the second half, as Duncan's physical fitness declined, the Spurs' lineup was not high enough. After the Knicks started the shooting tactic, Popovich had to transfer back to the regular starter.
However, Duncan's physical strength decline is no longer an indisputable fact.
What's even more terrible is that the Spurs didn't even have Split in the inside line during this period. They also had two veterans, McDyce and Lufflit, on their bench. However, unless it was absolutely necessary, Popovich would never dare to use these two, otherwise it would be equivalent to giving Lin Yi points.
What made Popovich even more depressed was that after the Knicks' main attack point in the second half, Louis Williams, after the first few iron shots, his confidence increased so much that he really found a touch of heaven!
A three-pointer in the fast break, a very long three-pointer after pick-and-roll, and a counterattack lever after breaking in... With the last 6 minutes left in the third quarter, Lu Wei led the Knicks to a 3-2 attack wave, rewriting the score to 70 games in one fell swoop! The home team Knicks are in the back.
Is this what is called "a rainy night after leaking"?
Popovich is not calm.
Popovich admitted that he was still a little too confident and admitted if he was wrong. Popovich would not be too stubborn. He also knew that the Spurs had some flaws in the lineup. There was a lack of real 3D defense in the outside, and there was no big guy in the inside except Duncan.
But how could the Knicks know the Spurs so well?
Is it because of D'Antoni?
Popovich thinks it must be like this. You circle it, isn’t it? Isn’t it just to eliminate the Suns you led three times in the playoffs?
Generally speaking, unless it is the championship team, it is impossible to specifically analyze the Spurs' tactics and lineup for a regular season game.
Because that's a waste of time, this principle is very simple. The Knicks and the Spurs can only encounter twice in one season!
But in Popovich's eyes, the Knicks played this game as the finals!
The defects of the Spurs' personnel composition, tactical shortcomings, etc. were all taken advantage of by the Knicks. This... If it weren't for New York now, Popovich would have absolutely suspected that the Spurs' opponent tonight was the Lakers, not the Knicks.
What a great hatred this is!
Popovich decided to label D'Antoni as he would go back. He also decided to ask his children to check after he went back. Is D'Antoni a Scorpio?
Such a grudge?
In fact, Popovich didn't know that when the Knicks scored, D'Antoni was also confused.
No matter how you understand it, before each game, D'Antoni will analyze the Knicks' next opponent with his assistants, but you should know that this kind of analysis is actually of a certain speculation nature, and there will definitely be some deviations in actual games.
Of course, D'Antoni knows the Spurs very well, but the Spurs' lineup is also changing every year, so more, D'Antoni knows the Spurs' GDP, which is the core component of their lineup.
But tonight, the few suggestions Lin Yi gave were simply God's prophecy...
"Don, I remember Lin also likes to study opponents' game videos?" D'Antoni asked, looking at his third assistant coach Donaldson.
"Yes, he has this habit," Donaldson said.
D'Antoni suddenly had some doubts about life. Is this kid's basketball IQ so high?
Unfortunately, Lin Yi didn't know what D'Antoni was thinking, otherwise he would definitely tell D'Antoni that if you came here through time and you are a senior thorny person, combined with your understanding of basketball, you can definitely do it.
That's right, Lin Yi is not only a Kemi, but also a stinger.
The Spurs in the 2009/0 season had great flaws in the lineup, including the Thunder's talent being defeated by the Thunder in the second season, which is also because they have unreasonable problems with the lineup.
This is also why Lin Yi was confident that if he played seven games, he felt that the Knicks would not win, but if he played one game, the Knicks had a great chance of winning.
Because Popovich's understanding of tactics is definitely above Lin Yi. If he plays a series of games, even if Lin Yi knows the Spurs more, it will be difficult to defeat the Spurs with the current Knicks lineup.
But what if I only fight one game?
As long as Lin Yi wakes up D'Antoni, the Knicks can definitely make a spurt.
To put it bluntly, Lin Yi is in the dark and the Spurs are in the dark!
After the third quarter, the score remained at 72-3, and the Knicks led the lead and entered the fourth quarter.
...
Amid the cheers of the Knicks fans, Lin Yi took the initiative to ask him to rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Lin Yi was also killed in this game today.
At this time, he gasped and replied to his blood bars. In this game, Lin Yi also fully demonstrated his potential in defending in the penalty area.
D'Antoni thought Lin Yi was simply a superman.
What else is he unable to do?
If you want him to be the core, he can be the one.
If you want him to be a coolie, he can do it.
In the third quarter alone, Lin Yi grabbed a rebound, 6 of which were frontcourt rebounds! It was simply the best counterattack to Lin Hei and others that he would not grab the frontcourt board!
In order to win, Lin Yi can also sacrifice everything.
A chic and elegant way of playing?
Stop making trouble, this is NBA. There is no unchanging style of playing, there is only timely adjustment of yourself based on your opponent.
He trains hard every day, studies his opponents constantly in every game, and uses his various advantages. In order to win, there is nothing that Lin Yi cannot do.
"Be prepared, I think the Spurs are going to play the final trick." Before the start of the fourth quarter, Lin Yi entrusted his teammates to the upcoming teammates.
D'Antoni was very pleased.
Because Lao De also knows that the Spurs have another final trick!
"Don't be arrogant when you win, don't be discouraged when you lose... you won't be moved by the lead. What kind of monster did I coach?" D'Antoni complained.
Chapter completed!
