This time, Old Nelson nodded after hearing this.

There is no absolute good or bad thing about tactics, because the results are completely different when used on different opponents.

The singles tactics can work against the Spurs, which was proven in the first game of the two sides' series.

Johnson was equivalent to conducting a deeper research based on that, and it was quite feasible.

Some people may say, isn’t it just a misplaced single? It’s just a team’s strongest singles point to hit the opponent’s weakest defense point. I don’t know this even if I’m not a coach!

That's true, but not just that.

Because it’s not just individuals who can play like this, nor is it just a team who can play like this.

A team that can play like this must meet at least several conditions.

First, your teammates can create enough space.

This is actually the easiest thing to ignore. If your teammates can't even open the space, your misplaced singles may not even be able to hit.

Even if the fight is barely started, it is easy to be double-teamed by multiple people and finally fail.

Second, your singles must have certain passing ability.

This is also an easy point to be overlooked. If you don’t know how to pass the ball and just know how to fight in, you will likely be destroyed by double-teaming.

This is also the reason why players like Nick Young are invincible in the street court, but are rarely arranged by coaches to play singles in the NBA arena.

Third, the finishing rate after your singles misalignment should be high enough.

This is easy to understand. Whether it is the ending at the basket or the ending of the shot, you must be confident enough.

Otherwise, you can't send the ball into the basket until the end, and the singles are meaningless.

In fact, in the future, after this tactic is upgraded, it will be called the name tactic.

The most famous one is that James calls Curry by name, and Curry calls Love by name.

Then you go and segment it carefully and you will find that both teams meet the three misaligned singles conditions mentioned above.

James' finishing at the basket and passing were excellent, and the Cavaliers were also a three-point team.

Curry's three-pointers and passes are excellent, and the Warriors are also good at three-pointers.

Then, the Mavericks.

The Mavericks are also good at three-pointers, and several players Johnson said also agreed with the requirement of misplaced singles.

In addition, the Spurs' defensive system is afraid of this, so it's not too suitable!

After hearing what Johnson said, Old Nelson stopped training on the court and then asked Johnson to readjust the tactics of the next game.

When Sun Hao first heard that it was a single, he was a little dissatisfied.

But after listening to Johnson's speech, he felt that many people, including himself, actually had some misunderstandings about Johnson's abilities.

The trick that Johnson was teased about would really work when dealing with the Spurs.

Now think about the year when the Mavericks were blackmailed, isn’t the champion the Spurs?

If the Mavericks want to win the championship, they must be training in the direction of targeting the Spurs, just like the current Mavericks.

It’s just that they were blackmailed by the Warriors in the first round.

Even dig deeper into something more interesting you will find.

The Mavericks played the Warriors in the first round this year, and they also wanted to play the Warriors.

Even Johnson once wanted to replace Danpier and let Nowitzki play the No. 5 position with the Warriors.

The only difference is that the head coach of the Mavericks was Johnson the year they were blacklisted, but the year was Nelson.

Nelson, the old man, denied Johnson's proposal, and the Mavericks eventually eliminated the Warriors 4-1.

So looking back, Johnson is actually not that bad. What he lacks may be experience.

Speaking of which, who can be a head coach in the NBA at a young age, isn’t a genius?

But which one of the things in the world is not a hero based on success or failure?

After the new tactics were laid out, the Mavericks quickly began targeted training.

This is actually very fast to train, because Sun Hao and Nowitzki's misplaced singles were used a lot in the game.

Now it's just a little more Bodilloga and Van Exel added.

By the end of offseason and match day training, the Mavericks' overall confidence and morale have returned to what they were at the beginning of the series.

That night, the third game of the Mavericks and Spurs series kicked off at the San Antonio Att Arena.

The scene was full.

Although the market is small and the style of the game is not gorgeous, the Spurs are now a championship-level team, and they have all reached the Western Conference Finals.

Spurs boss Pete Holt also appeared in the stadium.

He is a boss whose assets are basically not ranked in the NBA, and the Spurs occupies a very important part of his business empire.

So whether he can win another championship and bring more economic benefits to him is his most concerned thing.

Especially now that the Mavericks are at their peak, if they can defeat them, it will be a huge thrill for the local market.

Accompanied by the cheers of fans, the third game of the series officially kicked off at the Att Stadium.

Robinson won the Spurs' first offensive opportunity, and Duncan scored a 2+1 in double teams as soon as he started, igniting the emotions of the fans on the scene.

The Mavericks' judgment is correct. Duncan's hot state will never be just a game, and it will definitely last for the entire series.

After Duncan made extra free throws, he scored 3 points in the opening game.

When he retreated to the defensive end, Popovich continued his defensive strategy in the previous game and began to double-team against Sun Hao before he could make a single shot.

This defensive treatment is absolutely VIP level.

However, Sun Hao directly gave the ball to Bodilloga.

Bodillo's blessing ball, and Bale immediately made a pick-and-roll for him.

After being taken apart, Bodyloga's defender became Parker.

This scene looks nothing, but Sun Hao looks particularly familiar.

This is clearly what James calls Curry!

Except for Danpier at the basket, everyone else opened up the space.

The Spurs have to be on guard against Sun Hao and Nowitzki, so it is naturally impossible to double-team Bodyloga.

Bodilloga started his performance.

The breakthrough after a fake shooting move, the iconic whiplash of left and right hand turnover.

Due to age and Ligue 1 strength, Parker was unable to compete with Bodilloga when he was in Europe.

In addition, he could not match Bodyloga with different positions, so this was the first time he met Bodyloga's unique skills head-on.

Then... he was almost knocked down.

Any star's unique skill is definitely not so easy to defend.

What's more, Parker is now a sophomore.

Bodilloga reacted quickly, grabbed the moment when Parker's center of gravity was unstable, dribbled the ball to the left and then directly stopped and jumped from the middle distance.

"Swish!"

With a crisp sound, Bodyloga also scored the first record for the Mavericks.

Duncan helped in the frontcourt, but Bowen missed a three-pointer from the bottom corner.

Danpier protected the defensive rebound, and Sun Hao advanced to the frontcourt... and continued to give the ball to Bodilloga.

Bale also continued to pick-and-roll, and Bodyloga continued to hit Parker.

Popovich immediately realized that the Mavericks were playing misplaced singles tactics.

Among the five Spurs players, the young Parker is the weakest ring.

This does not mean that his defense is weak. In fact, Parker's defense was not bad at all when he was young.

What it means is that in the case of misalignment, his body shape and his experience were completely suppressed by Bodilloga.

And, Popovich had no choice.

It is impossible for him to reduce the defensive pressure on Sun Hao or Nowitzki because of Bodilloga's misplaced singles.

If Sun Hao or Nowitzki do this, it will definitely be a loss.

Now he can only hope that Parker can show the fighting spirit of the young team and the Spurs' "101 hits" spirit.

Bodyloga did not use whip this time, and went straight to fight against him, and then turned around and jumped around together.

This move doesn't look special, but the players who have played against Bodilloga, including Sun Hao and Ginobili, know what's special about it.

There is a kind of person on the court called a basketball elves, who say that he is very agile in playing basketball.
