Chapter 199

The series between the Trail Blazers and the Rockets finally ended in Hugh City, but although the ball was won, the most regrettable thing is the record of the Totoro. He scored 30+ in halftime. He won't score 30 points in the second half, especially in the face of the poor Blazers. Even the bravest Oden was carried down, and others would not risk their lives at all.

However, it was the referee's whistle that changed everything. It is said that after the game, angry fans spontaneously blocked the arena and surrounded all the passages to show the three referees on duty. If it wasn't for the security guards in the arena , I'm afraid there will be troubles.

However, the chief referee who sentenced Totoro to leave the field was still beaten. A traitor appeared in the escort security brigade and quickly threw a left uppercut while pretending to protect the opponent from approaching him. He was controlled by other colleagues, but this punch also knocked out one of the referee's front teeth.

"May I ask how you felt when you were sent off by the referee today after only two quarters. I knew that this was when you were likely to make history tonight."

At the post-match press conference, a brain-dead reporter asked a question that Totoro didn't want to hear the most.

"Hehe, I don't think the referee made a mistake in the penalty. Although my action was really just a whim and was unintentional, this action should not have appeared on the court. I accept the referee's penalty."

Totoro replied with a smile, "As for the record, I'm not worried at all. I'm only 19 years old this year. This is my first season in the NBA. In the future, I will have countless nights to create things that I couldn't accomplish tonight. Of course, I'll be more sane and civilized."

His magnanimity made the reporters and friends off the field couldn't help applauding him, but few of them thought that Totoro had already scolded the [-]th generation of the ancestor who was the referee in his heart at this moment. Over and over again, he thought to himself, why did the security guard knock out one of his front teeth?The strike was still a little too light, if he could have shot this middle-aged man, he would have beaten the middle-aged man into a cripple.

During the entire press conference, no one asked about the poor Oden the Great. Even the Blazers reporter only asked the team about Oden's injury. The video was posted on the website by the Rockets officials, and then sent to the nba headquarters and the official homepage. Hun Sen has viewed it millions of times. Now everyone knows that he is asking for trouble. , How dare these reporters expose the shortcomings of their own players?

The Lakers also defeated the Mavericks at home and got the match point. Today, the Lakers' top three finally showed their inside advantages. Bynum beat Dampier, Gasol entangled Nowitzki, Odo Mu also blossomed in full bloom, and the Lakers advanced to the second round without bloodshed at the Staples Arena.

However, Gasol's ability to restrain Nowitzki should have nothing to do with his sister-in-law, but the German chariot himself is indeed exhausted. He put the team on his shoulders and competed with the No. [-] Lakers in the Western Conference for four games. That is no longer something that ordinary people can do. Odom’s outburst today is also a bit strange. According to the gossip, it seems that Karin Shan has left Los Angeles recently because of an invitation to a fashion show. I don’t know if this is him. The direct cause of the outbreak of the game.

In the second round, the Spurs defeated the Jazz, the Hornets stabbed the Suns to death, and Gentry's dismissal has entered the countdown stage. So far, all four teams in the second round of the Western Conference have been released. They are all defeated by 4:1 by coincidence. opponent.

The East is in trouble, because the Eagles and the Celtics have lost again. They are now tied 2-2 with their respective opponents. If they want to decide the winner, they have to wait at least two games , Howard and James have some rest.

It’s just that the four strong teams in the West will not wait for the results from the East. The Rockets VS Spurs, the Lakers VS Hornets, their first game has been scheduled for next Tuesday, and the Rockets now have no time to care about the East. Will the team overturn.

The Spurs have been the Rockets’ pain for many years. When Tracy McGrady is around, the Rockets are always facing the Spurs. Now they have changed to another group. They still can’t beat the experienced Spurs. This is a headache. up.

The main trouble for the Spurs is the iron triangle formed by the three GDP stars who have cooperated for many years. Duncan is responsible for supporting the center, Parker is responsible for tearing down the opponent's defense, and Ginobili is the type of assassin raid, supplemented by a The resourceful Popovich is constantly making changes based on the weaknesses of the opposing team, and the Spurs have almost become an invincible team. At least normal teams are definitely not their opponents if they play against others according to normal routines.

"How to do?"

Adelman has spent the past few days in the conference room with the coaching staff discussing the plan without sleep, but they have discussed and discussed without any good results. They have watched the video of the game that was killed in the regular season countless times. But the embarrassing thing is that the Spurs are changing almost every game. Once they even put Ginobili in the starting lineup to play against the Rockets by surprise. Who knows what ghosts they will come up with in the first game of the playoffs?

"We are not their opponents in zone defense, but we can't defend against their tactical moves without zone defense on the defensive end. This group of damn guys, why didn't the Jazz kill a few more Spurs players that time."

Adelman couldn't help picking up the few gray hairs on his forehead, but the Jazz didn't hear his words, otherwise they would have to be pissed off.

Three days passed in a flash, the Celtics and Eagles in the east both got their match points, and the game between the Rockets and the Spurs in the west will start first.

Over the past few days, the coaching staff of the Rockets still haven't come up with any effective solutions, but they haven't completely failed to discover the weaknesses of the Spurs. First of all, there is no lineup in the world that is flawless. Observing their game video, I found that no matter how they change, the 45-degree arc tops on the left and right sides are always their cover. Every time they play against the Mavericks or the Lakers, Kobe and Nowitzki can always have an advantage. The reason is that these two friends are so accurate in the mid-range shots from these two angles that they have no friends.

Adelman is going to put Totoro here this time to disgust them. Totoro's mid-range shooting percentage can be maintained at around 55% all year round. If they don't take precautions, Chinchilla may kill them all by himself. .

The second weakness is that the Spurs team is seriously aging.

In the regular season, Popovich used his strong rotation art to cover up this shortcoming, but in the playoffs, this shortcoming will be expanded without limit.

Duncan is 30+, Ginobili is exactly 30, and Parker is 25 and 6 years younger, but can the three of them play a full game?

Look at the Spurs' bench lineup, Bowen, Robert Horry, Michael Finley, Blunt Barry, these old men are almost 160 years old, while the Spurs rookie Sharod Ford, West En-Marx, Nazar-Mohammad is young enough, but they are either not good enough in physical fitness or inaccurate in shooting, or they have a problem with golf intelligence. After all, the Spurs have more than 50 wins in the regular season every year. It's really hard to pick any good seedlings in the draft.

The age gap of the Spurs is their biggest weakness now, and Adelman is trying to make a big fuss about it. As far as the starting lineup is concerned, Adelman reckons that he would not be able to beat the Spurs with such an adjustment, but if the substitute rotation time Counting, the Spurs' Popovich is helpless even if he can fly.

So when he debuted this time, Totoro was not in the starting list. The Spurs started Oberto, Duncan, Bowen, Finley and Parker, and the Rockets started Yao Ming, Randolph, Iguodala, Batty. Calderon and Calderon. In terms of book strength, the starting lineup of the Rockets and the starting lineup of the Spurs are [-]-[-]. Duncan can abuse Randolph, but Yao Ming can also cause tons of damage to Oberto. The defensive system is better, but the Rockets have a brother and the president who can at least squeeze into the top five in the guard list. The starting lineup should be [-]-[-] if no one is performing abnormally.

But with the substitute lineup, the Rockets are about to pull the Spurs into countless somersaults. If Popovich wants to win the Rockets, he must work hard on the lineup rotation. The two teams have their own advantages, but outside experts agree that if The Spurs can't take away the Rockets within 5 games, and the Rockets should have the biggest chance of winning in the end.

"What a fun little guy."

Before the jump ball, Popovich looked thoughtfully at Totoro sitting on the bench.

As early as in the first game of the regular season, when Totoro hadn't played much of the initial design at that time, Popovich concluded in front of the media that Totoro would be the one with the most honors and achievements among all rookies after 03, that At that time, everyone thought he was a lunatic, because although there were not many superstars since the 04 generation, Paul, Deron Williams, and Rondo are still players who have the potential to become the top superstars in the league. Comparing the major point guards of the new generation, how could others be convinced?

But now it seems that Zhuge Go has almost died Zhuge Go, your uncle is still your uncle, Popovich once again predicted things like a god, at that time he was willing to use either Ginobili or Parker to trade Totoro , but the Rockets gritted their teeth and did not agree, otherwise, when the Spurs get together a troika combination of Duncan, Totoro, and Parker or Ginobili, I am afraid that any team in the West will not be their opponent. .

When the two teams met for the first time, Popovich used foul tactics to sanction a wave of Totoro, but after a season, Popovich thought that this tactic would no longer be effective. It is obvious to all, especially his innate golf quotient, let him know when to jump up to block shots and when to stop playing, coupled with his current reputation and the increased penalties in the playoffs, think again It is not difficult to get Totoro to get 6 fouls off the field, but the price may be that the Spurs eventually lose the game.

"This Duncan, why isn't he a member of the Rockets?"

When Popovich regretted that Totoro was not his player, Adelman also looked at Duncan and drooled. If Totoro is the player at the small forward position he most wants, then Daidai is what Ashuai wants most. A power forward player with his own defensive system, solid basic skills, and excellent support. The Princeton system needs to share the ball and keep running. More importantly, this tactic also requires a big man who can pass the ball to stand The high position guides the team to run and pass the threatening ball. Dayao's inside offensive ability is not to be said, but if he is asked to do the job of commander, the little giant is really not the material of Shifo.

From the debate on who is the best power forward in the 20th century between Duncan and Garnett, there has been no result.

Duncan is more like a traditional insider, while Garnett is more like a 7-foot scoring post. Duncan can make the players around him better, and Garnett can play explosive data by himself. Duncan has his own defense system, while Garnett can drive the emotions of the whole team with his own personality charm, and there is no way to tell which is better between them.

Duncan is more favored by coaches like Adelman and Popovich, while Garnett is more favored by coaches like Phil Jackson and Reeves.

The game whistle sounded, and the referee threw the orange ball high into the sky. Although Duncan was too old to jump, he still had a lot of advantages over the little giant with a jumping centimeter of only 30cm. Shifo led by half a palm The advantage was the first to get the ball, and the Spurs took the lead in attacking.

Parker rushed the ball into the frontcourt, Duncan pulled out a pick-and-roll, Parker got rid of Calderon and wiped it from Duncan's other side with a change of direction, Battier and Iguodala wanted to defend from the left and right, but Parker's speed is really too fast, and the title of the French sports car is not for nothing. Before the two defensive players arrived, Parker scored two points for the Spurs with a lick of fire, and the Dragonborn Cave Arena suddenly resounded. wailing.

Adelman frowned suddenly. The point guard defense has always been their weakness. There is still no way to solve this problem in the playoffs. If Popovich of the Spurs no longer targets them on this point, Then the opposite is not the resourceful and famous coach.

"But it doesn't matter, we are stronger inside than you. I see who you Shifo defend against. If you defend Yao Ming, I will let Randolph attack you. If you defend Randolph, I will use the little giant to hit you. Let's see. Who has the last laugh."
