Chapter 184 Real Men Never Look Back To See If A Ball Goes In Or Not! (1 Update, Please Subscribe)
Zhou Yan is very sure that Popovich did not put Stephen Jackson and Steve Kerr in the starting lineup on a whim.
The two players, Steve Smith and Mark Musk, basically have nothing in common in terms of technical style, but their shortcomings are exactly the same.
Upper limit is too low.
The lower limit of the team is determined by Duncan and the general, and it is destined not to be too low. Except for a few geniuses who can determine the upper and lower limits of the team at the same time, the upper limit of the team is usually determined by the fact that the data is relatively unexploded, and the performance on weekdays is not high. Players who are not eye-catching will decide.
S-level players perform steadily, as long as they don't encounter bug-level opponents, the score will not collapse, but if they want to win, B-level and C-level players have to explode. Of course, the most frequently mentioned situation is actually b-+ Explode directly to s.
Stephen Jackson accidentally strained his groin before the final game of the regular season. Since the final game will directly determine the ranking and opponents of the playoffs, Jackson played with the injury. The result was a grade-1 strain and a grade-2 tear. In the middle of the third quarter, there were complications such as thigh cramps, and Wu Chen left the field.
The injury in the groin area is quite special, whether it is big or small, it is not small.
Someone with a minor first-degree injury can be alive and kicking after two days off, and someone with a minor first-degree injury that deteriorates to a serious third-degree tear due to a little carelessness, and will be reimbursed directly for the season.
Stephen Jackson was more unlucky.
Originally, when Ginobili led the second team, this buddy was a sure starter, with stable output and occasional outstanding performances. He was a typical pass-line starter, but a serious injury directly made him the most likely to be worthy The first round of the playoffs was blurred.
What's more terrible is that even though Stephen Jackson forced to play with injuries in order to help the team win the final game and establish the best ranking, the Spurs still lost that game.
From the perspective of hindsight, Stephen Jackson was basically hurt for nothing...
This year is his contract year. If he wants to sign a middle-class contract after the basic salary contract expires, his performance in the playoffs is particularly critical. Almost all potential next players are secretly watching, waiting for him to show his value. It was good to be able to create some surprises, but Stephen ruined this hope because of a regular season......
According to the recuperation schedule set by the team doctor in advance, Stephen Jackson will not be able to leave the station until at least the end of the month.
Calculate the game schedule, that is... g7 life and death game.
Not to mention whether Popovich will arrange a non-star player who has just recovered from injury to start in the life-and-death game. Zhong said that based on the Spurs' past performance and state...whether Bihei can be dragged to g is a problem.
The meaning of hidden tricks is to catch them by surprise, and to catch them unawares. If you wait until you lose the game and go back to your hometown to fish, you only take out the secret weapon in your crotch, then it is not called hidden tricks.
A not-so-fun joke at best.
Popovich knew he couldn't wait any longer—maybe swapping Musk for Jackson wouldn't solve the problem, and maybe the latter wasn't as good as the former, but either way, the referee
+ Explosive seeds are always more hopeful than counting on C-level explosive seeds.
Stephen Jackson scored 30+ points three times in the regular season, one of which almost scored 40 points. Although the two averaged just over 10 points per game this season, Jackson's scoring limit is obviously stronger than Musk's.
The impact of injuries on the state of course needs to be taken into consideration, but the problem is... Popovich has no time to retreat.
If Tianwangshan is a last stand, then g6 after losing Tianwangshan is considered a coffin-closing battle.
As for g7?
Let's go home and eat honestly.
If choosing Stephen Jackson is Popovich's last resort, then using Steve Kerr is completely a gamble.
Before his Spurs career, Steve Kerr spent six years with the Bulls and won three championships with Jordan.
There is nothing to say about the body, even if it is not the worst in the league, it is not much better than the worst.
Because of this, Cole can secure a place in an environment that advocates physical confrontation with a weak system,
There are not many famous scenes, but the victory is big in the occasion.
The regular season is no different from ordinary role players. For traditional pitchers, more than 80% of their points come from long-range shots after running without the ball. The proportion of three-pointers is relatively high, which can be regarded as an outlier of the same generation.
The situation of the playoffs, this has to be said separately.
Since most of the career peaks were spent in the top teams, when encountering a tie game, paddling to win the championship, and encountering a big headwind, neither Jordan nor Pi Erye could be rescued, and Cole was powerless.
Zen master said that Cole's most powerful ability is the key ball ability,
Big-hearted players generally refer to those key players who can contribute outstanding performances on key occasions and make final decisions in anxious moments.
……ask for flowers……
So far, Steve Kerr has averaged less than double-digit points per game in his career. Looking at the statistics alone, he is not even considered a scorer, let alone compete with elite scorers for the honor of "Mr. Key". Neglect - As a role player, Cole doesn't have much possession.
Zen Master has never been known for his patience, of course, only for non-star players.
Phil Jackson requires bench players to make achievements within three rounds of playing, otherwise they will not escape the fate of being replaced.
This kind of tactical arrangement actually has quite serious problems-even the superstars need to spend time looking for the feel to find the state. How can a bench player who sits on the bench for a long time get results in just three rounds?
.0
Steve Kerr did it.
For 48 minutes of a game, Cole sat in the "Supreme VIP Viewing Seat" and watched for 47 minutes and 30 seconds. He was replaced in the last 30 seconds. The team's big brother was double-teamed, and Cole ran out of space on the three-point line , Big Brother was forced to give him the ball.
Now step into the roles.
At this moment, there is no distinction between superstars and ordinary players.
Catch the ball, there are only 5 seconds left in the attack time, the boss is trapped, the second child is in a terrible state, the third child... can't shoot at all, the opponent thinks that you, a role player who just came on the court, will be dizzy and unable to Hit this crucial shot.
Here comes the question - to vote or not to vote?
There are two possibilities for basketball shots. For Kerr, if he makes a shot, he is praised, and if he doesn't, he is infamy.
The point is that it wasn't his responsibility in the first place.
The team leader executes the key ball, and it has been like this since ancient times.
Chicagoans have an almost paranoid trust and admiration for Michael Jordan.
The Chicagoans firmly believed that even if Jordan forced a shot against the double-team of three people, he would be able to make a final decision.
The reality is otherwise.
It was the most helpless move for Phil Jackson to assign the most critical tactics to Cole. At that time, he was very much like Popovich now.
"I need you to hit that goddamn shot, or we'll have to go tiebreaker!"
Nobody wants a tiebreaker, and Kerr is no exception.
So he shoots, so he hits, even though it's his first outing since being subbed.
