NOVEL WEB Chapter 52
"brush!"
"Oh! My.god!"
"How many goals have been scored in a row?"
"7 ball or 8 ball?"
"Is this rookie playing too wild?"
In the audience, the Spurs fans were a little skeptical!
When Lin Feng missed two shots in a row, the Spurs fans were still watching happily!
There was no lack of sarcasm in their words!
But now, Lin Feng used consecutive mid-range shots to slap them back!
"It’s 7 goals!"
"There is still one ball left!"
Lin Feng looked at Kawhi Leonard, whose eyes had become dim, and he became even more excited!
This feeling of [must hit] is so cool!
Lin Feng seemed to have a feeling of controlling everything!
This feeling made Lin Feng intoxicated!
I like to see you guys getting frustrated but unable to defend against me!
To be honest!
If the Spurs' lineup was not strong enough, they would have been defeated by Lin Feng's consecutive mid-range shots!
After discovering that Kawhi Leonard could not defend against Lin Feng at all, GDP and Aldridge acted quickly! They played more patiently and reasonably on the offensive end, ensuring a very high finishing rate!
This prevented the Spurs from being pulled apart, and they only fell behind by 10:14. Trail Blazers 4 points!
This is acceptable!
If it were any other team, the Trail Blazers might have already taken a 10-point lead!
On the court, the Spurs attacked.
Tony Parker controlled the ball past half court.
Ade went to the three-point line and did a pick-and-roll with Tony Parker!
Then he quickly went down!
Ade's down pass was not too deep, but basically stopped near the free throw line!
After Tony Parker broke into the basket and attracted Gobert's defensive attention, he passed the ball back to Ade!
Ade raised his hand and shot a mid-range shot!
After the Trail Blazers played with one big and four small players, their defense at the power forward position was a bit worse!
Aminu's height was not an advantage in defending Ade, and he was successfully shot by Ade!
"Swish!"
Ade also shot a very high mid-range shot completion rate!
Lillard curled his lips. Seeing Ade score, he always felt a little unhappy!
"Damian!"
"Don't worry!"
"Watch me do it again!"
Lin Feng directly controlled the ball from the backcourt and passed half court.
If he said he wanted to score 8 goals in a row, then he had to score 8 goals in a row!
Not even one goal could be less!
Kawhi Leonard felt cold sweat on his forehead!
From extremely confident to hesitant, and then to a little wanting to escape!
God knows what kind of psychological journey Kawhi Leonard has gone through!
There are players who have a hot hand and score consecutively!
But there are very few people like Lin Feng who give Kawhi Leonard the opportunity to adjust his defense, and even give him some advice on how to defend better!
Then, against the best and most adequate defense, he made another unreasonable shot!
This made Kawhi Leonard deeply doubt his defensive ability for a time!
Is it because his defensive ability is too weak?
Impossible!
It was the same this time. Lin Feng even squeezed into the 2-point area in slow motion!
Kawhi Leonard was almost hanging on Lin Feng!
Collect the ball!
Forced to get up!
Facing back!
Kawhi Leonard chose to cover his eyes this time!
But it was useless!
Lin Feng seemed to not need to pay attention to where the basket was at all, and just threw it casually!
"Swish!"
Unreasonable goal!
"boom——！"
Kawhi Leonard only felt his ears buzzing and he felt so tired!
He staggered and fell to his knees!
"Why?!"
"I can’t do this question!"
……
"What do you think?"
"In another 6 games, we will face such an opponent!"
"I originally thought that the Spurs, Cavaliers, and Thunder would be our main opponents this season!"
"I didn’t expect the Trail Blazers to emerge so strongly!"
"I have a strange feeling from time to time now, the Trail Blazers are our only opponent this season!"
Golden State, Oracle Arena!
Kerr led the Warriors, who did not play tonight, to watch the game between the Trail Blazers and the Spurs!
When seeing Lin Feng facing Kawhi Leonard's impeccable defense and making a long 2-point 8-game winning streak, Kerr knocked on the blackboard and highlighted the key points!
"I think Lin is really weird!"
"Why didn't he just take a half step back and shoot a three-pointer?"
"I can’t figure it out!"
Curry scratched his head, very puzzled!
"It’s better not to shoot three-pointers!"
"Otherwise, if the three-pointer could be so accurate, it would be very difficult for us to defend!"
"8 three-pointers in a row means 24 points! Who can handle this?"
Green said while chewing gum.
"That's right!"
Curry nodded.
He and Klay Thompson knew this the most!
Once the three-point rain starts, the opponent can't stand it!
"Clay!"
""Have you figured out how to lock down Lin Feng?"
Kerr knocked on the blackboard to quiet the players, and then asked Klay Thompson.
Klay Thompson is not only against Lin Feng, but also the best perimeter defender of the Warriors!
So whether or not Lin Feng can be restricted really depends on Klay Thompson!
"His sweet spot is right here!"
Klay Thompson stepped forward and drew a circle on the tactical blackboard!
It was exactly the location of the [Long 4] zone!
"I can defend to the extreme!"
"Do your best to keep him out of the sweet zone!"
"I am going to let him score in other areas! Or I will rely on you to help defend!"
Klay Thompson expressed his opinion!
The other players nodded.
With the advent of the small ball era and the prevalence of three-pointers, the offensive space on the court has been completely expanded!
Compared with the previous decade, the defensive system has also been forced to undergo a qualitative change!
The previous defensive system that tightly guarded the three-point line will be shot to death in the small ball era!
Although the offensive and defensive space has become larger, there are still only 5 defensive players, and it is impossible to take care of every defensive position within the three-point line like before!
Therefore, a lot of decisions need to be made in defense!
For the players and positions that should be let go, they should be let go decisively. , can't hesitate!
Since Lin Feng only hit a critical hit in the long 2-point area on the right, then let go of other areas decisively!
In this way, Lin Feng's overall offensive efficiency will be reduced!
Later, Kerr also affirmed Klay Thompson's idea, which is worth a try!
As for Lillard, another gun in the Trail Blazers' backcourt, Kerr didn't care too much!
In his opinion, Lillard is a low-profile version of Curry!
As long as Lillard is double-teamed, Lillard's offensive efficiency will plummet!
Moreover, Lillard can't defend Curry, so the worst case scenario is to let them explode each other!
If the two of them are really let go, the one with higher efficiency must be Curry!
……
On the court, Lillard didn't know that he was being [despised] by Kerr!
At this time, Lillard hit a long-range three-pointer at the buzzer, making the score of the first quarter 33:24!
The Trail Blazers led by 9 points in a single quarter!
"Well done!"
"Damian! Do you feel better now?"
Lin Feng put his arm around Lillard's shoulders and said with a smile.
"No!"
Lillard said lightly, but the smile on his mouth betrayed his true mood at the moment!
As long as Lillard and Lin Feng shoot from the outside, the Spurs will not be difficult to deal with!
After playing more than 20 games with the Trail Blazers, Lin Feng gradually understood why such a team could make it to the playoffs in the previous life and even passed the first round!
Lillard's awesomeness is one aspect!
The more important aspect is that the Trail Blazers' style of play has caught up with the Warriors' pace first!
Commonly known as a more advanced tactical system and style of play!
【[Magic Ball Theory] It is generally correct, but it is very dependent on the three-point shooting rate!
In other words, as long as the three-point shooting rate is online, this style of play is a dimensionality reduction strike for the traditional tactical system!
Of course, if the three-pointer is too iron, then GG immediately, and there may be a tragedy!
As long as Lillard can shoot a good hit rate outside the three-point line, he can forcibly change the opponent's defensive system!
Then let teammates get easy shots outside the three-point line!
At this time, as long as the role players' three-pointers are also online, the Trail Blazers will win!
This style of play has greatly simplified the requirements for role players, as long as they can have outside shooting ability!
More than 20 years ago, the triangle offense tactics implemented by the Zen Master on the Bulls were also advanced tactics, which formed a dimensionality reduction strike against other teams that were infinitely dependent on centers!
It is exactly the same as the magic ball style of play at this time! And this season's Spurs, although Popovich has already embraced three-pointers, the core players' offensive means are mainly within the three-point line!
Aldridge, Kawhi Leonard, and GDP, I'm afraid���Ginobili went crazy and was able to produce a good three-pointer! In the second quarter, the Blazers' offense began to be dominated by Lillard!
Lin Feng played as an assistant on the side, only shooting at key points to hold down the Spurs' momentum!
In this case, the score was further widened!
Ade's mid-range shot still seemed accurate, but some shots were unkillable!
Kawhi Leonard was directly locked up by Lin Feng, and there were signs of a mental breakdown!
GDP, it's okay to play key balls, but after all, he's old and can't support the output!
When the Spurs couldn't limit the Blazers on the defensive end, they could only watch the score difference get bigger and bigger!
""Swish!"
With Lillard's Logo.shot, the Trail Blazers were already leading the Spurs by 16 points at 109:93!
With 3 minutes left in the game, the suspense of the game had disappeared!
On the sidelines, Popovich sat back on the bench with a frown!
The Spurs have been innovating their tactics and have also experienced a period of pain!
In the end, they reaped the rewards in the 13-14 season, and the Spurs won the championship again!
But after only one season, it seems that the entire league has changed!
Popovich's tactics are once again out of date!
And this time the small ball craze set off by the Warriors is obviously Of course, it breaks Popovich's cognition!
Popovich has come all the way from the Jordan version!
The coaches of that period have basically retired!
Lenny Wilkens, George Karl, Larry Brown, Old Nelson!
Only Popovich is still sticking to the Spurs!
Popovich can embrace three-pointers, but it is difficult to build a team with pure three-point attackers like Curry and Lillard as the core!
This can be seen from the Spurs' draft and team building after Duncan retired in the previous life!
Popovich has always hoped to select a tall inside player to rebuild the team as the cornerstone!
In the end, Wen Banyama was selected!
"We still have to fight on defense!"
"This will be the Spurs' only chance!"
"In the playoffs, the referee's standards should be looser!"
Popovich shook his head.
Crazy Warriors, crazy Trail Blazers!
The league has become unfamiliar to Popovich!
Duncan has already revealed to him that he wants to retire!
If Duncan really chooses to retire after the end of this season, will Popovich also retire?
Popovich once said that if Duncan retires, he will retire immediately!
However, he is still a little unwilling!
Popovich wants to find a way to restrain the Warriors' extreme small ball, but until now, he has not found the right way!
This means that it will be difficult for the Spurs to win another championship before Duncan retires!
"we'll see!"
"Eh——！"
Popovich sighed!
