Chapter 84 Spurs (1)

Time flies, and on January 1, US time, the Kings played against the Spurs at home.

During this period, Aminu, Lopez and Aldridge also came to the Kings.

When Jiang Yan met these three people for the first time, her first impression was that they were very boring!

Maybe it's because it's the first time I came to this strange place of the Kings, and there are no familiar people.

And Jiang Yan also knew that Aminu was her senior!

This is clearly my right-hand man in the future!
Sure enough, Aminu smiled when Jiang Yan called out the word senior!
As Jiang Yan's senior, Aminu is actually very concerned about Jiang Yan's situation, but as a dull and quiet person, he is not sociable.

Therefore, he has never dealt with Jiang Yan.

Even the Hornets played against the Kings many times before, and they didn't mean to talk to Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan didn't even pay attention to these things.

One is that Aminu and him are not in the same position, so he will naturally not focus on Aminu, and the other is that the internal situation of the king is a headache, and he still has the mood to pay attention to other things?
Jiang Yan then invited Aminu and the others to have a meal.

Of course, the big nose followed suit!

Big Nose is also a stuffy person. Although he is not very sad to leave the Trail Blazers, he is not very happy to come to the Kings!
Even the Kings have an Aldridge!
After all, playing in another place is always a bit strange!
Although Jiang Yan and Big Nose talked a little strangely, the atmosphere between the two was okay. After all, Jiang Yan likes to be with the pitcher, and the pitcher also likes to be with the passer!
Overall, this meal was considered a success, which showed that Jiang Yan, the boss, accepted them!
As for Afro Robin Lopez, he nodded the whole time, looking dull.

How worried is Jiang Yan about what trouble Lopez will cause in the future!
The next few days will be the team's training camp.

At the same time, the head coach of the Kings has now been replaced. Smart was dismissed by Patrik when Jiang Yan went to Houston. As for Smart's salary, 100 million a year, only 60 was paid!
The current head coach is Vigelis, who also has little coaching ability, but one thing he is very satisfied with is that he can control the team's locker room and not make the locker room messy.

As for Vigelis, he knows nothing but hugging his thighs.

As for whose thigh to hug, do you still have to ask?
It must be Jiang Yan's thigh!
Therefore, when discussing the tactics of the game against the Spurs, Vigelis asked Jiang Yan's opinion throughout the whole process, as if Jiang Yan was the head coach of this team!
Jiang Yan was also very helpless, so she had no choice but to pick up the coaching whip as a player!

.........

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the game between the Kings and the Spurs officially began. This is also the first show of Aldridge, Aminu and Lopez!

For fans of the Kings, these three people are very strange.

Regarding Cousins' deal, they are actually still skeptical.

Although Cousins ​​is sometimes stupid, he still has great potential in the league. Although he cannot become a superstar, he is more than enough to become an All-Star.

Now that the Kings are taking a future All-Star to replace the Trail Blazers' starting power forward, it really makes them fans very worried!
And with Evans in exchange for Aminu and Lopez, they don't make much sense.

In the first half of this season, Evans' scoring dropped sharply because he surrendered the ball.

In the eyes of fans who don't know much about the situation, Evans has lost his eyesight, so it is understandable to trade him out!

Kings starting lineup: Jiang Yan, Garcia, Aminu, LaMarcus Aldridge, Cole Aldridge.

Robin Lopez was temporarily put on the bench by Jiang Yan. He thought that although Robin defended well, he needed a pincer inside, and Robin didn't have enough ability to take on this important task!
Had to let the familiar Cole Aldridge start!
After all, Cole Aldridge's figure is there, so there is always some advantage in rebounding!

The Spurs' lineup has not changed much. The mid-term trade is just a small deal, and the team's water dispenser players have been changed.

The starting lineup is: Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, Duncan, Splitter.

In the opening scrimmage, Splitter and Cole Aldridge competed. With Aldridge's plump body, the jump is estimated to be only 30 centimeters high. How could he compete with others!
The Spurs attacked, and Parker dribbled the ball across half court and stood outside the three-point line.

Jiang Yan stood in front of Parker. Now that the Kings did not have Evans, no one would wipe Jiang Yan's defense anymore.

Jiang Yan squatted slightly, looking at Parker who was waving his hands and directing the formation of the team.

Although Parker did this to sell a flaw, Jiang Yan didn't dare to reach out.

For a point guard like Parker, it is common to sell flaws to others, but very few succeed!
One of the tactics that the Spurs often play is the pick-and-roll between Parker and Duncan, allowing Parker to enter the interior, to see whether Parker chooses to continue to attack or choose to pass the ball!

Under the cover of Duncan, Parker got rid of Jiang Yan's defense, and then went inside, facing newcomer LaMarcus Aldridge.

Although Aldridge has a strong offensive shot, his defensive and rebounding abilities are relatively poor.

So facing Parker, Aldridge was actually a little flustered, he was really not good at defending small men!
Sure enough, facing Lamarcus Aldridge, Parker directly relied on a left and right shaking to shake Aldridge away!
Then a small throw was made directly outside the three-second zone!
"brush!"

2: 0.

Seeing this, Aldridge couldn't help showing helplessness. His first defense in the Kings failed!

Jiang Yan didn't care. After losing in the first half of this season, he is no longer surprised by the opponent's goal and the opponent's win!

It's not that he doesn't care about winning or losing and has become numb, but that he has restrained his emotions!
Patted Aldridge's butt, and said: "It's okay, let's serve!"

Although Jiang Yan's face is still expressionless, these words are very comforting to Aldrich!

Big Nose nodded, restrained his emotions, then came to the bottom line, took the ball thrown by the referee, and passed it to Jiang Yan!
Jiang Yan dribbled the ball and slowly came to the frontcourt with Aldridge.

Jiang Yan stood outside the three-point line, while Aldridge went deep into the left middle distance of the left basketball area and leaned against Duncan, and then raised his right hand to ask Jiang Yan for the ball!

Jiang Yan first let Garcia leave in the left corner, then came to the top of the arc at a 45-degree angle on the left, facing Parker's defense, and passed the ball to Aldridge by hitting the ground.

Then Jiang Yan cruised to the top of the three-point arc in the middle!
This can not only pull Parker away, but also prevent Parker from going to Aldridge to destroy Aldridge's offense!
It can also form an internal and external connection with Aldridge. When Aldridge is double-teamed, he can pass the ball to Jiang Yan and organize the attack again!
It takes courage for Aldridge to play Duncan alone. Duncan is a superstar with four championship rings, four finals MVPs, and one regular season MVP.

Aldridge has the confidence to play Duncan singles, which is indeed beyond everyone's expectations.

Including those Kings fans who are not optimistic about Aldridge, Cousins ​​​​has never done similar things before.

In terms of courage and self-confidence, Cousins ​​is inferior to Aldridge!

Aldridge leaned on Duncan with his back, dribbling the ball with his right hand, first bumped Duncan with his back, felt Duncan's position, and then bumped twice.

This gave Duncan the illusion that Aldridge was going to play him with his back.

However, Aldridge did not follow the original rhythm and hit Duncan for the fourth time. Instead, he suddenly took a quick step back, turned around, added a back, and threw the basketball in his hand!
Although Duncan reacted, took off quickly, and interfered, but Aldridge made a fadeaway jumper, and Duncan couldn't interfere at all.

And Aldridge's rhythm is very good, this is also his usual way of attacking!

"brush!"

Hit directly!

2: 2.

Duncan stood in front of Aldridge, stunned for a moment, then came to the basket, picked up the jumping basketball, and served from the bottom line!
The Spurs attacked, and Parker was still picking and rolling with Duncan, but this time Aldridge defended very well and did not let Parker break through him, but the whole person shrouded Parker!

But the Spurs are the Spurs after all. The proof of entering the playoffs every year for more than a decade is not Duncan, but Popovich!

The offensive tactics Popovich designed for the Spurs made all teams in the league helpless!

Parker broke into the inside and attracted all the attention of the Kings. Even though he had no chance to attack, according to the Spurs' tactics, Danny Green should appear at the top of the arc at the three-point line at this time!
Parker made a no-look pass, and the ball went directly to Danny Green at the top of the arc!
After Green received the ball, Garcia was a step and a half away from him. After making a dribble breakthrough, he directly attracted Aminu's attention.

Aminu couldn't help bringing it up, and gave up Leonard to defend Green.

But after Leonard gave up his defense after Aminu, he would retreat to the bottom corner on the right.

Danny Green followed the original tactic, without even looking at it, and threw the ball to the right corner!
After Leonard received the ball, there was no defense in front of him!

Although he was considered an excellent perimeter defender when he was selected by the Pacers, but with his hard work, his three-point shooting ability has now reached the league's passing level.

Faced with this situation, Leonard jumped up and threw the basketball in his hand.

"brush!"

The Spurs also succeeded in attacking this ball!
5: 2.

Jiang Yan was a little surprised by Leonard's three-pointer.

Because Leonard is generally only used as a perimeter defensive gate in the Spurs, but now he also has offensive capabilities.

Then the Kings' defense against the Spurs will be even more difficult!

After all, even though the troika of the Spurs is old, their abilities should not be underestimated!

Especially when it comes to Ginobili, as long as he relaxes his vigilance a little bit, he will give his opponent a very 'surprise'!
