You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 757
Chapter 768 I promise I will be more gentle next time

Jay Wright called a timeout, but the replacement was not Hayward, who missed consecutive shots, but Faried, who could provide sufficient energy for the defensive end.

Faried went off, Odom went to the fourth position, Holiday went to the second position, and Nash came up to play the first position.

Also, he didn't draw tactics.

"Play by ear," he told Nash and Odom.

This hands-off shopkeeper-style approach, on the contrary, has given Nash and Odom plenty of freedom.

Nash and Odom exchanged a few words and agreed that Hayward could not stop feeding the ball.

With Wesha and Cousins ​​absent, Hayward is the first point of attack.Does he not give the ball if he misses four outside shots?Continue to trust him, encourage him, and give him confidence.

The payoff came quickly.

Hayward continued to run, and Nash arranged for him to shoot a three-pointer at the top of the arc this time, the only three-pointer he has not shot so far.

"Shh!"

Hayward made his fifth shot and finally made it.

20 is better than 21
The Spurs did not hesitate at all because of this. Parker dribbled to the frontcourt, met Nash, and met old opponents, but it was a different stage.

In the past, the Spurs sniped the Suns in the West many times, and it was not until 2010 that they were defeated by the Phoenix due to the aging lineup.But that Suns team is no longer comparable to the peak period. They faced the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals and were swept by a wave.

Nash completed his debut in the Finals with the 76ers, assisted Hayward to break the ice, and was knocked down by Parker when he returned to the defensive end.

Parker accelerated into the paint and was about to layup when Hollins knocked him down roughly.

Before the referee's whistle, his hand was raised earlier than before the furious Frenchman's obscenities blurted out.

"#!￥..."

"Ryan Hollins' defense created controversy on the field!"

"Tony Parker babbles!"

"The referee gave a defensive foul, no T, no malicious foul!"

Mark Jackson laughed: "He's here to do it."

Hollins did something wrong, and the expression on his face remained unchanged, he just looked straight at the referee with sincere eyes.

Parker Bai suffered a rough foul at the level of a malicious foul, and he lost his touch at the free throw line.

Hollins took the gorgeous and smooth game to another level. They increased contact and confrontation, and no one could pull the score until the end of the first quarter.

26 is better than 24
At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs led the 76ers by 2 points.

"It took them one quarter to convince us it was the best matchup of the year," said Mike Breen.

In the second quarter, the two sides maintained their lineups.

Ginobili missed a three-pointer abruptly.

Nash took the defensive rebound and passed Odom.

Odom pleasingly dribbled his way through the crowd for a magician's left-handed layup.

26 is better than 26
"Boys, how is this ball!" Odom shouted.

Thumbs up neatly off the court.

Odom was even more excited.

Dior hit back, cited the defense, and passed to Ginobili.

Every time Ginobili wants to break through, he has a fake move to confuse the opponent, shrink the ball, wait for the opponent's defensive center of gravity to move forward, and then suddenly press forward and dribble the ball to break through.

It's the same this time, except that Holiday has a good control of the center of gravity and can keep up with the whole process.

His defense affected Ginobili's final shot.

"boom!"

The demon knife strikes iron again.

After Odom took the rebound, he staged the most pleasing counterattack after Wechat's Magic Move one-handed long pass.

He passed the demon sword at close range with his back first, changed direction with one hand and shook Dior away, and then hit and passed Hayward in the bottom corner with two backs in the frontcourt.

Hayward soared for a three-pointer and the Spurs suspended.

29 is better than 26
"That's how the fuck should be played!" Odom laughed and roared, "How can we let these old men sing and dance on our territory?"

At this time, less than 2 minutes had passed in the second quarter.

Wright called Wei Xia.

"Felix, you replace Gordon." Then, he called out Hayes to replace Hollins. "Our lineup will have a disadvantage in height, but our speed has an absolute advantage. This is exactly what San Antonio fears."

Wright arranged tactics excitedly: "Use your speed to let the people of San Antonio know that time is the most invincible force!"

The 76ers replaced Wei Xia, and the Spurs also replaced Duncan.

In this way, the Spurs lineup is GDP, Leonard and Diaw.

The 76ers are Wei Xia, Nash, Holiday, Odom and Hayes.

The 76ers will rely heavily on Wesha and Holiday on the defensive end, but Hayes' elite single-defense ability will cause Duncan some trouble.

Nash's [-]-point threat could set the stage for Odom the best.

In this lineup, the core of the 76ers' offense is not Wei Xia, but Odom.

Odom is in a hot state. As long as he can become a magician in half a quarter, the offensive pressure facing the Spurs will be unimaginable.

Now the 76ers are going to be tested on the defensive end.

The core of their offense is Lamar Odom.What about the defensive end?Besides the two DPOYs, who else?
Wei Xia stared at Leonard, but his attention was not only on Leonard.

When the Spurs moved the ball and Duncan ran out for a pick-and-roll, he was on his guard.When Duncan finished the pick-and-roll and turned around to find an angle to cut in, he disappeared from Leonard.

The biggest disadvantage of Leonard's reticence is that when he loses, even if he yells, it is difficult for his teammates to find out, or even know who this familiar and unfamiliar cry came from.

Duncan's first pick-and-roll is the paint area. Ginobili hits the ground and passes the ball in place. Facing the current height of the 76ers inside, he only needs to dribble one step and lift the ball up to complete the offense.

He didn't expect, and neither did his teammates, that Wei Xia would rush back so quickly, jump up at a speed that Duncan couldn't imagine today, and hit his layup on the backboard from behind.

"Wish is everywhere like a ghost!"

Wesha blocked the ball, Odom got the rebound, and he howled, "Run, guys!"

Who is the one running at the front?A second ago, Wei Xia jumped up and covered Duncan with all his strength!
Next is Holiday, and then Nash.

Hayes simply didn't follow the counterattack, and stayed in the backcourt to prevent the counterattack from being counterattacked.

Odom sent the ball to Wei Xia, Wei Xia cast Maravich's magic in the frontcourt, fake cut the ball to shake Leonard, received the second fake cut ball to shake the extremely smart Ginobili, suddenly hit the ground forward, and the ball bounced to Holiday with a curved arc-you can imagine how crazy the fans of the Fuguo Center would experience this magical moment.

Holiday received this stunning biography from the 70s and only wanted to end it in the best way to add color to it.

"BOOM!"

He dunked with both hands, giving this year's finals an extra moment that will be included in the classic NBA shots.

31 is better than 26
Duncan was so blocked by Weixia, and the Spurs' mentality fluctuated a bit.

Leonard seemed to be responding, taking advantage of the 76ers' lack of defense in time, he rushed to shoot a three-pointer.

The choice is right, but the feel is not good.

After missing a three-pointer, Hayes took a defensive rebound and went to Wei Xia.

Since you want to shoot a three-pointer, you must be prepared to be chased by someone.

When Leonard missed a three-pointer, Wei Xia had just returned to the backcourt.Seeing him directly make a three-pointer, Wei Xia didn't even look at it, and went straight to the fast break.

Leonard missed, so he failed with a sudden shot, but instead gave Wei Xia a chance to fight back.

The ball flew from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Wei Xia received the ball from the top of the arc in the frontcourt. He glanced at Duncan under the basket and made a decisive three-pointer.

Far softer than Leonard's touch, and in a better game state, the soaring three-pointer scratched an extraordinary arc, too high, and people couldn't help worrying whether he would hit the ceiling.

"Shh!"

34 is better than 26
This ball hit the Spurs' second timeout in the second quarter.

The fast pace that Jay Wright wants is what the Spurs fear.

They are the oldest team in the league. If the 76ers bring the rhythm up, GDP will definitely be exhausted.

During the timeout, Leonard, who was a hero, was reprimanded by Popovich.

Although the scene is not good-looking, it is one of the prices of being a hero.

After all, not everyone can be a hero.

Sometimes the gap between the hero and the sinner is unbelievably small.

For some reason, the Spurs let Leonard continue to play.

From the first quarter to the present, Leonard only rested for 2 minutes.

Because the coaching staff arranged for him to face Wei Xia all the way, his state was disrupted from the beginning.

Wei Xia suppressed him on both ends of the offense and defense.

Oddly enough, he showed no fear.

In the first round of the timeout, the Spurs showed Leonard the same trust that the 76ers had in Hayward.

It doesn't matter if you don't have confidence, it doesn't matter if you perform poorly, if you score a goal, you can regain your confidence.Score more goals, and the reputation of poor performance can also be reversed.

This is competition, this is competitive sports.

Wei Xia's vitality and athletic ability allowed him to support the defense of a small lineup. All professionals expressed surprise at the defensive coverage area he showed during this period.

There is a reason why he can become DPOY for two consecutive years.

It's just that now he wants him to support the entire defense as a shooting guard, and the price is naturally that Leonard will be frequently emptied.

The Spurs have seen through this, so the end point is assigned to Leonard, just as he also needs to find a touch.

As a result, Wei Xia's return to defense was so fast that he almost blocked Leonard's ball, which made the Spurs sweat.

Leonard's ball flew towards the basket against Weixia's hand.

He withstood the pressure and made an important three-pointer!
29 is better than 34
"Don't be dazed, go ask for a seat, let that kid know how powerful you are!" Odom shouted.

Wei Xia said modestly: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

"Is it really okay for him to be so polite all the time?" Nash laughed.

Odom snorted and laughed: "Don't be fooled by his appearance, he is an expert at pretending to be polite."

Wei Xia did not comment on the malicious slander of his teammates behind his back. He vouched for Leonard's dreadlocks, and his politeness came from the heart.

In the frontcourt, the ball passed into Wei Xia's hands.

He grabbed the ball with one hand, obviously didn't do anything, he didn't even shake it with one hand, but his eyes drifted to the left, and that murderous look made Leonard move his body reflexively.

Great offensive players can fake with any part of their body.

Wei Xia passed Leonard, one step into the three-point line, dribbled two steps to collect the ball, and took off with all his strength. Duncan, who appeared in the defensive position in time, had no strength to stop Wish from taking off.

Wei Xia seemed to be taking off from Duncan in a helicopter. He rode Duncan and scored a heavy dunk that made the audience boil.

"Will you be angry if I say that riding on your neck is more comfortable than my sofa at home?" Wei Xia asked Duncan when he fell down.

Duncan replied, "No."

"Then I'm at ease." Wei Xia smiled with peace of mind, "Thank you, TD, I promise I will be more gentle next time."
