1604 Pre-match preparation
After the game, Wang Yi returned to the hotel and began to communicate with the Kings players. What military intelligence was uncovered during the game?
The other players did not detect any valuable military information.
After all, the two sides have reached the 7th game and have basically revealed their cards.
There were no special tricks, no secret moves, etc., they were all used.
Through the analysis of various data analysts and experts, the tactics of both parties have been laid out clearly. Even if they can find out a little bit, they are nothing more than these known tricks.
However, Wang Yi said to those players:
"I did get some very valuable information here."
When the players heard this, they all moved closer to Wang Yi, as if they were hearing a big secret.
Wang Yi continued: "The Spurs have a secret weapon, and they used it in the game just now."
"Secret weapon?"
"What?? How come there is a secret weapon?"
"By the 7th game, both sides had already revealed their cards. They were using all their weapons. Their various tricks and strange weapons had been revealed, and they had all been analyzed extremely thoroughly by the experts. They were just short of...
They had all the players and coaches sliced up and studied."
"And in the competition just now, they basically used the same tricks they had used before. I didn't see any secret weapons being used."
The players were obviously confused.
Wang Yi continued: "Didn't you see that the Spurs' center just hit the last goal of the game from the outside?"
After hearing this, Bond thought for a moment and shook his head:
"Boss, in the entire series, including the five games in the first round, the Spurs center never caught the ball from the outside. Even if he did, he just handed the ball and never attacked from that position. Twelve games.
Just one shot from outside doesn't explain the problem."
"And if you think about it, if this was really the Spurs' secret weapon, they wouldn't have had to fight the Grizzlies until the last minute of Game 7 to bring it out."
"If they had come out with this weapon earlier, wouldn't they have killed the grizzly bear long ago?"
All the players agreed with Bond's point of view.
Only Turs and Mane did not speak, but continued to look at Wang Yi.
Tours has won a championship with Wang Yi, and he understands that Wang Yi can see details that ordinary people cannot.
Wang Yi said there is a secret weapon, then there must be a secret weapon.
As for Mane, he has regarded Wang Yi as his idol since he was a child and is Wang Yi's little fan.
When Wang Yi said there was a secret weapon, he naturally believed it without hesitation.
I saw Wang Yi continue to say: "What I heard sitting behind Bobo is absolutely true. This is how he arranged the last ball, and he said it himself, that is their secret weapon."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Wang Yi seriously.
They wanted to see if he was joking or serious, but they couldn't see any joking look on Wang Yi's face.
Only then did they believe Wang Yi.
Wang Yi continued: "And I believe that since their center is so tall and can shoot from a long distance, then they definitely have more than this style of play."
"Everyone has seen the pick-and-roll between their center and guard, but in the game, their center followed the pick-and-roll after the pick-and-roll."
"Then if he has a long-range shot, the center must be more than just a follow-up move. After the breakdown, he can also bounce out and catch the ball and shoot."
"But these are not the most terrifying things. The most terrifying thing is that their center also has one hand to pass the ball. Just imagine, if he stands on the top of the three-point arc as a central axis, he can shoot and pass the ball, just like back then.
The way Joe plays with the Kings is the same."
"Then the Spurs are far from what we saw in the first and second rounds."
"In other words, Mr. Bo is hiding something for Xijue and leaving a backup plan."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
If that's really the case, then the Spurs would be terrible.
As the third-ranked team in the Western Conference, they were able to compete with the Grizzlies with Morant until the last moment just by using their regular playstyle in the first two rounds.
So if they still have two sets of pick-and-rolls between centers and guards, and the center plays as a pivot, then the Spurs will be too difficult to deal with.
When Bond heard this, he couldn't help but shake his head: "They say Popovich is an old fox, and it's true."
"If we didn't take precautions against him, it would be easy to find his way."
Turs also nodded and said: "Fortunately we came to watch the game tonight, and fortunately the boss heard what Mr. Bo said, otherwise we would really suffer a big loss."
Wang Yi said to everyone: "Don't make any noise, everyone. I'll go back to Sacramento tonight. I'll find a few coaches to discuss how to solve it."
Everyone nodded.
That night, the Kings players took a special plane and flew back to Sacramento overnight.
When Wang Yi returned to Sacramento, it was already past 4 o'clock at night.
He told the players:
"It's getting late. Everyone has a late night snack and then goes back to their homes. There will be no training tomorrow morning. I will go find the head coach in the morning to discuss how to deal with the Spurs' secret weapon. Maybe we can find a solution in the afternoon."
Wang Yi invited these players to have a late-night snack in Chinatown, Sacramento, and everyone went back to their homes to find their mothers.
Wang Yi only slept for two hours and started training again at 6 a.m.
At 8:30 a.m., head coach D'Antoni arrived.
Although D'Antoni lacks some flexibility when coaching and his adaptability is sometimes criticized, his hard work is still admirable.
He knew that the Kings would face the Spurs next, so he came early this morning to discuss with several assistant coaches the strategy for dealing with the Spurs next.
After the head coach came to the arena and saw Wang Yi training, he asked Wang Yi:
"How was your snooping last night?"
Wang Yi nodded: "As expected, that old Bobo really has a secret weapon."
When D'Antoni heard this, his expression suddenly darkened: "This news is so important, so tell me what their secret weapon is?"
Wang Yi replied: "Their center."
D'Antoni frowned slightly: "You mean the key shot by their center at the last moment?"
After all, D'Antoni has been a head coach for decades, and has fought with Popovich 80 times, if not 100 times. He also knows Popo very well. With Wang Yi's knowledge, he already knows the general situation.
Wang Yi continued: "Their center has mid-to-long-range shooting ability. His mid-to-long-range shooting ability can be extended to the pick-and-roll cooperation between the center and the defender, and the center plays as the central axis. These two styles of play can be extended to
There are more than a dozen sets of tactics, which means that the Spurs still have at least a dozen or twenty sets of tactics that have not been used."
D'Antoni took a deep breath when he heard this.
