Chapter 507 Ushering in 7 consecutive victories
The combination of Drummond and Monroe's inside attack is still very fierce, but there is a problem: the offense of the two overlaps somewhat, one digs in the low post, and the other cannot open up space and provide more containment.Of course, 2 offense and offensive rebounds are really good.Throughout the game, the two combined for 20+ rebounds.
But the scene is still in a backward state.Without him, because the outside line cannot provide enough firepower, because the opponent cannot be guarded.Basketball, after all, is a sport that combines offense and defense. You can attack, but you can't defend, and you still can't win.
In the competition between the second teams of the two teams, the Raptors are still superior.Kyle Lowry scored crazy points in the second team, defeated the opponent's second team, and completely widened the point difference.
The Raptors led all the way, and finally maintained the point difference to the end, won the game and ushered in a 7-game winning streak.
应雄本场比赛只上场了27分钟，高效砍下29分8个篮板3个助攻，帮助球队获得7连胜，将战绩提升至8胜5负，悄悄地升至东部前6。
After finishing this game, they will end their three-game streak and return home to face the mighty Spurs.
On November 11, the Raptors finally returned to the home court and saw the long-lost home fans.
The Raptors returned to the Air Canada Center with a 7-game winning streak, and the fans of the home team came to the scene to cheer for them.This team seems to have come out of the difficult and bitter running-in period at the beginning of the season, and has returned to the championship camp.
Yingxiong's popularity was most truly reflected at home, where the fans frantically shouted his name, called "Hero", held up the KT board with his face printed on it, and wore his No. 25 jersey.
In this game, the Raptors' starting lineup remains the same as in the previous game.In fact, this starting lineup has not changed from the first game of the season. Even during the losing streak, it is the same starting lineup, and the rotation lineup is constantly being adjusted. Of course, the rotation lineup during the winning streak has also tended to be stable. .If a team wants to run in place and produce a chemical reaction, it will not work if the lineup is always in turmoil.
The starting lineup of the Spurs for the away game is: center - Tim Duncan, power forward - DeJuan Blair, small forward - Danny Green, shooting guard - Gary Neal, point guard - Tony Parker.
The Spurs have been very stable, GDP is still young, and Popovich sits on the coaching bench. It can be said that it is the most stable team in the NBA in the past 15 years.
Popovich arranged Yaodao to play the sixth player. Of course, it was not that he could not play the starting lineup, but to ensure the overall strength of the second team.He knows how to arrange the lineup properly.And DeJuan Blair started in order to decompress Duncan and do some dirty work.In fact, there has been such an inside helper next to Duncan for so many years. He may not even be strong enough to start, but he has always started the game, from Mohammed back then to McDyess and Bonner to DeJuan today. Blair.These players don't need to play for a long time, basically similar to pseudo starters.Popovich plays personnel rotation and is one of the best among all NBA head coaches.This is also one of the important reasons why GDP is still alive.In contrast, Thibodeau of the Bulls squeezed the main players hard, causing the main players to play too much time, which in turn increased their risk of injury, and the rotation arrangement has been criticized.
Duncan and rookie Valanciunas jumped the ball near the middle circle, and the game was about to start.
The Spurs are also an international team, and Yaodao and Parker in GDP are also foreign players.In the bench lineup, Dior, Mills, Splitter, etc. are also foreign players.In terms of the number of foreign players, they are completely comparable to the Raptors.
Varan beat the old Duncan with a jump ball, and Jeremy Lin dribbled the ball across the half.
With Jeremy Lin's high position and Valan's pick-and-roll, the Spurs' defense expanded greatly, and they did not give opportunities to break through the middle, nor did they give easy outside 3-point opportunities.
Popovich's defense was taught by Larry Brown, which is different from the Celtics' pressure on the line, high 3 clips and 2. Their defensive philosophy is to use active collar defense and expansion defense to limit the speed of the opponent's ball holder. The 3-point line, and then blocked the middle, forcing the opponent to go to the side.If the opponent holds the ball to the bottom corner, no shot is given and the opponent is allowed to break through.And once the opponent breaks through on the wing, the inside line on the weak side will help to fill the position.
Under this defensive method, the opponent cannot easily get a 3-point shot, and after restricting the middle, the weak side is used to actively fill the position, forcing the opponent to pass the ball nearby.In the final analysis, it is to force the opponent to either stop suddenly in the middle distance or transfer the ball in a wide range.
The Spurs' defense is set based on the characteristics of the defensive core Duncan.Unlike KG, Duncan has unlimited defensive range in the half court, but he is better than KG in protecting the frame and defending the basket.The Spurs' defense is mainly to defend 3-pointers and the basket, forcing the opponent to shoot uncomfortable mid-range shots, forcing the opponent to move the ball in a wide range and make mistakes.
Here, Jeremy Lin did not get very good results in the high pick-and-roll with the ball. The Spurs' defense in the middle was extremely tight. He could only distribute the ball to Ying Xiong, who was on the left wing at 45 degrees.
Facing Danny Green's defense, Ying Xiong took the ball to the side and broke through to the inside.
Danny Green's defense is very good, whether it is foot movement or defensive positioning, it is very good.He strictly implemented the defensive concept of the head coach Popovich, using steps to block the opponent's breakthrough route, using guidance to influence the opponent's position and travel route, and cooperating with Duncan inside and outside to encircle the opponent's ball holder.
Since last season, Ying Xiong has been relatively proficient in his wide-range passing skills. Facing the opponent's defensive strategy, he did not give the opponent the opportunity to treat himself as a "sandwich biscuit". DeRozan in the corner on the other side.
But DeRozan didn't have confidence in his 3-pointer after receiving the ball, so he dribbled a step and planned to hit the mid-range.At this time, Duncan's supplementary defense was also in place, effectively interfering with the opponent's shooting.
DeRozan missed the mid-range shot, and DeJuan Blair got stuck, grabbed the rebound, and gave it to Parker to advance.
Since David Robinson retired for the Spurs, the "Twin Towers" offensive tactics in the strict sense no longer exist.In fact, in this league, it is a rare thing to find two inside stars to form the twin towers.Today's Spurs play a mobile offense of "moving the ball and moving the ball", constantly picking and rolling screens, pouring the ball many times, passing the open space, and rarely having one-on-one forced singles.
Popovich's arrangement is not to say that he doesn't want to be a superstar tactic, but because Duncan can't support him to play with his back for a long time after he gets old.The real singles are mostly when the tactics can't be played, or at critical moments.
