Section 89 Psychological warfare
**Vic's adjustment in midfield achieved unexpected results. Driven by two speed-type outside lines that completely released their own speed, the Spurs' offensive rhythm in the second half was more violent than ever before.
Ginobili, Chamberlain, abandoned the slow-moving Duncan and Bowen, and formed the offensive triangle. In the first four minutes, their combination hit the Pistons' inside line seven times and successfully bombed the Pistons' basket seven times. The running Pistons only scored 6 points during this period, and the Spurs scored a 14:6**.[]
The sudden acceleration of the Spurs made the Pistons very uncomfortable. Their tight defense suddenly showed a lot of flaws, and they could no longer rely on this to complete the checks and balances against the situation on the field! Seeing the Spurs gradually showing off their momentum, in this situation, Larry Brown, who had no choice, called a timeout. At this time, the score on the field was 53:47, and the Spurs led the Pistons by 6 points!
Dislocation, this is the way the Pistons use to deal with the Spurs after they come back from timeout, to be more precise, Rashid Wallace can't keep up with Chamberlain, but Prince is completely capable of it in the small forward position. Moreover, his height is 206 cm, and with a far-reaching arm span, it can easily suppress Chamberlain's bounce and its power is comparable to Chamberlain. All of this makes it difficult for Chamberlain to get rid of his adhesion!
Chamberlain, whose startup speed could not be accelerated, lost a stable transfer station between Parker and Ginobili. The Spurs' untested new tactics were declared a failure. The failure of the tactics also made the Spurs' offense start to be chaotic. Several consecutive attacks failed, and the cooperation made frequent mistakes. **Vic chose to substitute and replaced Ginobili with Tkoglu!
Just like in the first half, the following game in the third quarter returned to its original state, and the two teams entered a stalemate stage. During this period, both sides scored points, but the two sides did not give in. However, the lack of strength on the rebound made the Spurs recovered 4 points by the Pistons at the end of this quarter, and the score on the field became 64:62.
Two points are a very dangerous point difference. He is not enough to make anyone proud, nor will he disappoint anyone. When he came back in the fourth quarter, the two teams who were disappointed with victory and started the final competition!
This is Detroit, the Auburn Hill Palace, Parker and Chamberlain. The two of them have low physical confrontation attributes, which once again became the culprit of the Spurs' failure. Whether the Pistons foul or not depends on the referee's mood and defense. Parker and Chamberlain did not get any data except for mistakes in the last time!
Although Tkoglu has good control ability, the Spurs, which lacked two main firepower points, finally fell into the Pistons' close-kick fight. The final score was 88:80, the total score was 2:2, and both sides returned to the same starting line again!
The Spurs player who thought he would experience another storm, unexpectedly found that **Vic did not have any unhappy expressions. He simply expressed his regret for the game, and then announced that the next day, the team gathered in his room!
As soon as this game ended, the final ownership of the champion became even more confusing. What was shown on the scene made the Spurs lose points in the media's predictions. Therefore, in their reports, from the Spurs' victory theory to - "The Successful Decryption of the Civilian Pistons"!
Because they could only take a day off, the Spurs did not return to San Antonio. After the game, they spent a not-so-stable night in the hotel they were staying. The next morning, after a simple breakfast, they arrived at **Vicci's room to gather!
Judging from the layout of the entire room, this is a newly arranged 12 small round stools and a huge tactical board that will never be found in the hotel room. **Vic's next topic made the Spurs players have a clear idea!
"It's a pity that yesterday's failure, are you very disappointed, are you?" After the players sat down, **Vic asked this question.
No one answered him, and maybe he had no hope of getting an answer. He looked around for a week and continued, "We had a chance to win yesterday, but I gave up. Do you know why?"
**Vicci's second question was answered. When the Spurs players heard this, they looked at their head coach with surprise.
I was very happy that this effect was achieved. **Vic smiled mysteriously and said, "Because what I want is not a chance to win, what I want is an absolute victory, what I want is a championship. This is the away game, this is the Auburn Mountain Palace. As long as we win a victory here, this year's championship will be us."
Yes, this is **Vic's real idea. A away victory only takes one game. So why didn't I choose the previous game? The Spurs players did not ask, because these old football players who have been influenced by the NBA for several years know the idea of their head coach! In some cases, the game is not only about the rigorous training, the players' scoring ability, whether there are loopholes in defense, and not only when they watch the game, but also a very important one, that is, psychology, psychological tactics are also a tactic that can determine the outcome of the game!
In the last game, because there was no chance to train tactics, **Vic used that as a training ground, and at the same time, it also played a role in paralyzing the opponent. Two consecutive victories, just like the Spurs at the beginning, the Pistons would be more or less relaxed. More importantly, the next game was in Detroit, which was also the Pistons' last home court!
Paralyze the opponent, let them relax, give them a blow, and don’t give them a chance to reply. It is also a away game. If the victory is put in the previous game, will this psychological battle have such an effect? Let’s assume that the Spurs really win, then it can be imagined that in the fifth game, the Pistons will fight back desperately with their home advantage. Can the already weak Spurs be blocked? The Spurs can’t. Then, in the sixth battle between the two sides, the Spurs, who have just experienced defeat, block the Pistons with the aftermath of victory at home?
"Then I will announce the starting lineup for the next game: center - Chamberlain, power forward - Tim Duncan, small forward - Tkoglu, shooting guard - Ginobili, point guard - Parker"! When the players slowly settled down, **Vic began to really get to the point!
