Super all-around point guard

Chapter 670 Copy Ginobili!

In the hearts of many players in the league, the No. [-] and No. [-] teams in the Western Conference are the Warriors and Spurs. Even if other teams have achieved results, it should not be the Lakers. The Lakers have occupied the No. [-] position in the Western Conference for too long.

Seeing that the Spurs led the Lakers as soon as they came up, a fan at the scene said: "The rankings in the Western Conference are highly competitive. A team like the Lakers, which was at the bottom of the league last season, would be good if they can make it to the playoffs this season. It is more realistic for them to strive for the fifth and sixth positions. No. [-] in the Western Conference is not a position they can sit for long."

Another fan also said after hearing this: "Yes, losing to us is a matter of course, but thank you these Lakers players still seem very unconvinced! We lost so many points against the Warriors. We are the only team that beat the Golden State Warriors this season. Does he still want to beat us?!"

No matter the players, coaches or fans, the Spurs have confidence in facing the Lakers. The only thing the Lakers can rely on is the superstar Xie Chen, but the Spurs also have superstars.

In terms of the coach’s tactics, Luke Walton can’t compare with Popovich. Walton is really good at dealing with the Spurs. He knows the Spurs system and these players very well. When he was an assistant coach in the Warriors, the Warriors coaches put the most effort into analyzing the Spurs.
Walton told everyone to relax, don’t put too much pressure on them and don’t think about the outcome of the game. The game against the Spurs, if they want to win, is destined to be a long game. These players can’t bear to play the game under high tension from the beginning to the end. Sooner or later, they will be tortured by Popovich.

After returning from the timeout, Xie Chen broke through from the right side of the three-point line and scored directly under the basket. He only scored two points. Unexpectedly, Popovich called a timeout immediately!

Xie Chen was about to go all out to chase points with all his firepower. Who knew that he had just returned from the bench and scored a goal, and he was about to go back again!

"Damn it, we haven't started to fight back yet! Popovich, this old guy, really..." Xie Chen shook his head helplessly. Popovich is the most "willful" coach in the league. You will only encounter this situation when you play against the Spurs.

If it were any other coach, the timeout would not be wasted at this time. The Spurs still lead by so many points, Xie Chen just scored two points, and the Spurs just failed to defend well this time. Popovich immediately called a timeout to scold them!
Some Lakers fans who wanted to watch the Lakers chase points also vomited: "Drunk! The Lakers just finished a timeout, and now it's the Spurs' turn to call a timeout. Popovich is too harsh. If he can't defend well in one round, he will start scolding. Those who don't know think we are ahead of the Lakers!"

After Popovich called a timeout, the Spurs came back and played more seriously. In addition, Xie Chen's enthusiasm for chasing points was interrupted just now, and it took time to recover. The scene was still controlled by the Spurs.

The Spurs led by so many points just now, and they basically relied on defensive counterattacks to shoot three-pointers. Leonard's three-pointers and Green's three-pointers are very threatening. When attacking the position, Aldridge singles Randall. It is also very clear that no one can defend against a back-to-back jumper.

In terms of defense, the Spurs are more inclined to let other Lakers players shoot three-pointers. Except for Xie Chen, the three-point ability of several other Lakers players is really not ranked in the league. This is probably why Popovich did not take this group of "shooters" seriously.

At halftime, the Lakers were 20 points behind. Judging from the offense and defense of both sides in the first half, the Lakers were obviously weaker than the Spurs.

Even the Warriors player Green, who was watching the show, stood up and wanted to leave: "Hey, guys, I don't plan to continue watching. There will be no accidents in this game. The Lakers will be mistreated. I have no doubt that this guy Xie scored 60 points in a single game again in a rage, but he couldn't change the result. Throughout the first half, the Spurs' offense was smooth, and there were always open shots. It’s okay, Ingram and Randall are still too immature, and they were played around by the old guys from the Spurs.”

Stephen Curry also stood up: "Yes, I also think the Lakers should not be able to come back, KD, do you want to continue watching?"

Kevin Durant didn't get up, and replied: "Yes, I want to watch this game."

Green laughed loudly and said, "He must really enjoy watching Xie lose, haha, let's leave him alone."

In fact, Durant was not so dark in his heart. He always felt that with Xie Chen's personality, he would not give up the game so early, and maybe something amazing would happen in the second half.

Of course, Xie Chen wouldn't surrender so early, but he shouldn't be too impatient to play against the Spurs, and this time it's an away game, he must win the legendary Spurs before he can focus all his energy on the opponent in front of him.

Xie Chen scored 30 points as soon as possible, and started the legendary plot first!
Xie Chen encountered the Spurs in the 04-05 season. This season, the Spurs got Brent Barry from Seattle, center Mohamed from New York and signed veteran Glenn Robinson. 2+2 helped the Spurs narrowly win by one point. After that, the Pistons won the sixth game, and then the two teams tied the tiebreaker. The Spurs had the last laugh. Duncan averaged 2+1 plus 20.6 blocks per game in seven games and was honored as FMVP. star.

Therefore, there have always been fans of Ginobili who believed that the league owed Ginobili a Finals MVP. The 05 FMVP should be awarded to Ginobili. Duncan and Ginobili played different roles in the finals.

At this time, Ginobili still had flowing long hair, GDP was still there, and they were all young. Seeing the three old guys fighting in their youth, and thinking about the current situation where the Spurs GDP no longer exists, Xie Chen couldn't help feeling warm, so he stepped forward and warned Duncan: "Don't touch Manu's head anymore. If this continues, he will be bald sooner or later."

Duncan said with a smile: "You speak too strangely. How can touching your head lead to baldness? If you don't believe me, come here and let me touch it to see if you will become bald."

As Duncan said, he was going to attack Xie Chen. Of course, Xie Chen would not let him succeed. Why does this stone Buddha always like to pat other people's heads.

This is another strong team that won the championship. The Spurs in 2016 are not easy to deal with, and the legendary team is also difficult to deal with. If you want to handle both teams, Xie Chen doesn't know how tired he will be.

Xie Chen couldn't help asking his opponent to let go: "GDP is a great combination, I have always admired you, and Manu Ginobili, I know you are at the peak of your career, but this game doesn't have to be too hard."

"Hahaha, are you asking us to lose to you? This is not acceptable. Popovich will not agree. If we really do this, we will be scolded bloody by him immediately." Duncan laughed loudly, while Ginobili looked aloof and thanked Chen without financial management.

After listening to Duncan's words, Xie Chen also felt that his words made sense. Popovich, an old guy, with a large lead in the score, would call a timeout and scold him if he failed to defend.

Xie Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and could only prepare for four quarters against this legendary Spurs.

After the start of the game, Ginobili, with flowing long hair, attacked like crazy, making consecutive snake-like breakthroughs and layups!
Xie Chen couldn't help sighing: "Ginobili's layup movement is really strange, but it's really cool to see him layup with his left hand, and it's not easy to hit a layup when his body movements are deformed."

Watching Ginobili play when he was young is really a kind of enjoyment. When he breaks through, he flicks his long flowing hair, rushes to the basket, has weird steps, and unpredictable shots. It is a big strange thing. Nowadays, few players have the characteristics of Ginobili, which is a great pity.

After that, Ginobili staged another layup with his signature left-handed windmill, which shocked Xie Chen on the spot!
"Oh my God!" Xie Chen was shocked, and he didn't feel that it would be tiring to fight against the legendary Spurs again. He hadn't seen such a magical performance for a long time!
At this time, Xie Chen had an idea, that is to copy Ginobili's layup ability!

"My points are increasing very fast, and I will get a lot of copy rights this season, so I don't worry about the lack of copy rights. I really need a better layup ability. Michael Jordan's layup ability must be higher than that of LeBron James and Rose. However, I am in the West now, and I only have one chance to visit the Bulls' home court. It is hard to say whether I can meet the legendary Bulls with Jordan. Ginobili's layup ability is a good choice, he is different from Rose and James, because Ginobili is left-handed!"

Even if Xie Chen copied Michael Jordan's layup ability, he is more used to layup with his right hand, while Ginobili's layup ability is not inferior to Rose's, and he is left-handed, which is a good supplement. Xie Chen himself can dribble well with both hands, but his left-handed layup ability is not strong, at least he can't do as freely as Ginobili.

"Even if Ginobili is a right-handed player, his layup ability must be copied, not to mention he is a rare left-handed layup master! I want this ability!" Xie Chen immediately decided to copy Ginobili's layup ability!
But when Xie Chen patiently waited for Ginobili to break through the enchanting layup again, Ginobili was suddenly replaced...

what's the situation?Ginobili played so well, why was he suddenly replaced?
Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked at Popovich in 05, and found that the old man looked displeased, and Ginobili, who had been very excited to fight against Xie Chen, glanced at Popovich at this time, and lowered his head in a lonely voice.

Xie Chen immediately realized what was going on!

"Crazy!" Xie Chen couldn't help cursing, "Popovich replaced Ginobili because he played too well alone!"

Popovich, an old man, has a very strange temperament, and he has an unwritten rule in the Spurs, that is, no player is allowed to score more than 30 points in a single game, and no one is allowed to be too showy. Ginobili scored more than ten points in the opening game, which of course caused Popovich's displeasure.

Xie Chen didn't know what it would be like if he or Kobe played under Popovich...

Xie Chen was anxious to copy Ginobili's layup ability, and was a little bit aggrieved by Ginobili. If he played well, why not let him continue to play, so he followed Ginobili and asked Popovich, "Why did you replace him? Replace him quickly."

Popovich naturally ignored Xie Chen, and Xie Chen continued to ask: "When will you let him play again?"

Popovich smiled and said, "Do you like playing against him? Then I won't let him play in this game."

Xie Chen was furious after hearing this, because he knew Popovich, an old guy, could do what he said. He really might put Ginobili, the best player, on the bench all the time and not let him play!
It's a rare opportunity to copy a new ability, but the old guy Popovich actually obstructed it!
Xie Chen said angrily: "If you don't let him play, I will blow you up!"
