Chapter 243

The Spurs have a good record. Like the Rockets, they also have the problem of weak guards.

But it is different from the Rockets. The difference lies in the ability of the Spurs to protect the frame inside.

This Tim Duncan + David Robinson who is still at the tail end of his peak period, in the entire history of the league, there is no second group of such a luxurious frame protection lineup.

So this is the two-tower tactic. If other teams want to replicate the success of the Spurs, they must first come to two towers.

Many coaches complained: "I understand the tactics, where can I get the champion?"

Popovich was also surprised: "Why do you want lemons when you get the No. [-] lottery based on your ability?"

The core concept of the twin-tower tactics is the coordination of high and low positions or strong and weak sides. The connection point for the two insiders is that both insiders need a certain high-position ability, otherwise they are just two big piles of insiders.

There are some more famous twin towers in NBA history.

For example, the Rockets' "Double Champion" back then consisted of Olajuwon at 2 meters and Ralph Sampson at 13 meters. The two of them eliminated Magic Johnson and Skyhook Kareem's Lakers in the Western Conference Finals in 2.

Although they were eliminated by the Celtics in the final, the pair of insiders shocked people a lot at that time, and also provided a successful reference for the birth of the Twin Towers combination.

When George Karl analyzed the Spurs' tactics, he also considered the successful case of the Celtics defeating the Rockets Twin Towers.

The final analysis concluded that "the pack of wolves can still defeat the twin towers"!

On the other side, Popovich was also making final arrangements, and the players from both sides walked into the arena under the urging of the referee, and the fans on the scene clamored and made noise.

The Spurs' starting lineup is Avery Johnson, Vinidnagro, Chuck Platinum, Tim Duncan and David Robinson.

Vinidnagro is white and thin. There is no doubt that those who have this characteristic in the NBA are basically pitchers.

When they played against the Spurs before, the shooting guard position should be Jalen Jackson, a hard-working league bum, but the effect of defending Qin Fei was not very good.

Later, Vinidnagro returned from injury, and the Spurs returned to their normal starting lineup, with Vinnie as the starting shooting guard.

Vinidnagro is 1 meters tall and weighs 93 kilograms. He is thin and thin at the shooting guard position, but his shooting is extremely accurate. In the Spurs this season, his average three-point shooting percentage is as high as 85%, ranking second in the league.

Pooh was standing next to Qin Fei, when the camera just zoomed in and found that Qin Fei was half a head taller than Pooh.

"The most embarrassing thing in life is that you overreport by two centimeters and he underreports by two centimeters. As a result, two people of similar height look a little different."

The host obviously "misunderstood" Qin Fei. Qin Fei's height was indeed only 1 meters, and he was only 95 meters 1 including the shoes. But the data was already the data when he just participated in the draft two years ago. In the past two years, he is still growing.

"drop--"

The buzzer sounded, and the game officially started.

David Robinson jumped Geiger, "Little General" Johnson raised his right hand, shouted for his teammates to move, and began to organize the first wave.

It looks decent, but the Spurs' tactical focus is not on him at all. The ball is passed, and David Robinson in the high position receives the ball.

Duncan dropped low and ran in the other direction. At this time, Chuck, who ran off the ball, provided an off-ball screen for Duncan.

It was on the baseline, and the referee was looking at the ball, not paying attention to what was happening on the baseline.

Kemp was delayed for a moment and Duncan slipped out. David Robinson immediately lobbed the ball to Duncan.

At this time, Kemp's rhythm was too chaotic, Duncan turned again, and switched to his left hand for a light hook.

The basketball hits the board immediately, the movement is flat, and the goal is crisp and neat.

This is the Twin Towers.

The regular season has not yet shown the strongest strength, in the playoffs, the power is fully displayed.

With another center forward without high post ability, Geiger would not run so far outside, making the frame of the penalty area so weak.

"Sean should defend the high post. Geiger can top the low post, and Sean moves fast. Then he can retreat quickly to protect the rebound." Bob Wisey analyzed it, and as the first assistant coach, he proposed his own ideas to the head coach.

George Karl nodded, this is indeed a good suggestion.

However, it is not appropriate to adjust easily at this time, otherwise it will be a blow to the self-confidence of the players. What we have to do now is to wait and see the changes. After all, the Supersonics also have their own characteristics.

On the court, Payton with the ball told Qin Fei to go to the weak side. After Qin Fei left, he took away the defenders. At this time, Kemp and Geiger were covering each other, and Kemp ran to the high position.

Payton dribbles the ball under his legs, avoiding Johnson who is eager to try.

Avery Johnson has always been very active. In the last round against the Suns, he had a brilliant performance. In front of Kidd, Kevin Johnson and Steve Nash, he scored 20 points angrily, just like the No. [-] of the Spurs.

"hehe"

Payton avoided his knife ball and moved to the right, just passing the edge of Kemp. When Avery Johnson moved again, he hit the "black wall".

The referee hesitated slightly, almost calling an illegal screen.

This is a top player, playing a pick-and-roll is on the edge of illegal screens and regular screens. Payton throws off the defensive player, but actually directly faces Duncan's defense. At this time, it is a misplacement.

Duncan brought it up, guarding Payton with his arms outstretched.

Duncan has a wingspan of 2 meters, and the two long arms seem to be able to extend infinitely. It is very scary to stretch out. Payton took another crotch and pulled it outside.

At this time, as a defensive player, Duncan actually hesitated for a moment, whether to defend or not.

Payton's outside shooting is average, but the mid-range is still ok.

As a result, at that moment, Payton passed the ball.

A diagonal ground pass was handed over from Duncan's side and rear. Kemp's figure rushed over just right and took Payton's pass.

Duncan reacted quickly, and then turned back to defend at this time. On the other side, David Robinson also guarded the basket in due course.

Kemp's choice is straightforward enough, take a step, fly directly into the sky, and then consider what to do when you reach the sky.

The two arms, one forward and the other right, pinched each other. Although the jump might not be as high as Kemp's, the palm of his hand was so straightforwardly pressed on Kemp's exposed basketball.

"Snapped!"

The body lost its balance and fell to the ground.

The basketball also rolled out and was picked up by Avery Johnson. Kemp, who was the first to challenge the Spurs' rim protector, had a bleak end.

The Spurs also got a chance to counterattack on the spot.

The general took the lead, prompting a player on the Spurs bench to stand up and applaud.

"Sit down, Monty, this hasn't scored yet, keep a low profile, it doesn't fit the temperament of our Spurs."

Monty Williams, who has just been in the industry for four years, can still have a little passion from the NBA. Of course, it is also related to the reason why he has not stayed in the Spurs for a long time.

Johnson's assault ability is very strong, he rushed across the half court in the blink of an eye, and only Payton caught up with him.

And Payton was waiting for an opportunity to break Johnson. Johnson vigilantly changed to a left-handed dribble to avoid being picked up by Payton.

When Popovich saw a figure quietly following Johnson, he immediately felt bad. When he wanted to remind him, Johnson had already rushed inside and leaned against Payton's body with great experience, making the latter unable to take off with strength.

The left hand is raised high and the target is the rebound.

Johnson could almost see the basketball entering the frame and the beautiful sound of white netting.

But at this moment, a big hand appeared above his head.

Like a cruising fighter jet passing by, the big hand hit Johnson's exposed basketball, directly changing the trajectory of the basketball's movement, and the castration continued unabated, and it was pressed on the backboard.

"what?"

Avery Johnson was taken aback, who covered him?

After flying out of the bottom line, he raised his head and saw Qin Fei glaring at him, then immediately turned around, not giving him the slightest chance to tease others, leaving him with a NO.18 huge back.

Can the weak side of the flank also come to chase and defend?

Avery Johnson never expected that Qin Fei would come to help defend and block shots. He always remembered that Qin Fei's speed was not very fast. Why did he run so fast when he switched from offense to defense?

At this time, they fell into the ranks of chaotic battles, and the Spurs retreated halftime with one less defense.

Choosing to shrink the inside line gave Payton a chance to make an outside shot.

Payton tried a three-pointer from outside the three-point line.

hit!

Payton's three-point shooting percentage has always been a little over 33.8%, which is much better than in the early days of his career. This season's three-point shooting percentage has reached [-]%, reaching a career high.

Of course, part of the reason was also stimulated by Qin Fei.

When Qin Fei first entered the league, he was also a person with little shooting ability, but in the second season of his career, he is already a stable mid-range shooter and a killer outside the three-point line that cannot be ignored.

How can he be inferior to a 20-year-old youth at the Hall of Fame level?

After this hard training, I finally saw some light. At least the shooting percentage is indeed a career high, as are the number of shots and the number of hits.

The fans at the scene applauded and cheered when they saw the ball scored.

"Just to shoot the Texans!"

"Send them home quickly, they are not welcome in the NBA!"

All kinds of trash talk from the fans surged out, immediately creating a home atmosphere that was completely different from San Antonio. If it weren't for the railings and security guards, they would have actively signed up to find a few people who rushed down to fight in groups.

Johnson didn't go to respond, and directly waited for the players to come over in his own half.

He secretly said bad luck.

I missed the frame and sent someone else a block, and then someone else took advantage of the unstable foothold and made a three-pointer. The difference of 5 points inside and outside was heartbreaking.

At this point, Popovich made a gesture.

After Johnson watched it, he settled down and focused all his attention on the court
