You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 765 That's a Whole Team
"Don't give me the ball, trust me, I really don't want to hit it back at all."

Odom served the ball while laughing and said: "Give it to him, give it to him directly, it's best to give it to him before halftime, don't suffocate him."

Originally, Steve Nash was still a little hesitant about whether to pass the ball to let Weixia play back.

After hearing what he said, why hesitate?Give directly.

Wei Xia "didn't expect" that he would make repeated orders, and his teammates would still pass the ball.He smiled with relief, after all, he is a veteran, they can understand every time he says irony.If it were the silly boy Cousins, he probably wouldn't even look at him.

The basketball returned to Wei Xia's hands, and Leonard always kept his center of gravity.

Wei Xia's offensive is indeed very strong, but he will not let it go.

Leonard found that Wei Xia's offense saved many redundant steps.

There was no tentative step, no feint, no change of direction while holding the ball, he suddenly stopped playing tricks and took the most vigorous first step to force his way past others.

Leonard is big because the Spurs want him to guard LeBron James.

However, there is no James in this year's finals.

Wei Xia is recognized again, and the only thing that can guard against him is his own touch.

Objectively speaking, Leonard's weight is not the key factor for his inability to guard Wei Xia, but because of this weight, it will be easier for Wei Xia to beat him.

Leonard's line of defense in the front fell, and the Brazilian Wang Zhelin behind made a precise defense that China's native Wang Zhelin might not be able to complete in his entire life.

Wei Xia exerted strength with one foot, suddenly pulled the bar in the air to avoid the block, the catcher misplaced the ball and threw the ball, and hit the board.

54 is better than 39
This trick was learned by Wei Xia and Iverson during his rookie season.At that time, Wei Xia did not have the offensive ability of today. It can even be said that all aspects were rough and difficult to undertake the task of attacking the core.Therefore, I first learned a trump card that can be used to single out.

Since then, Wei Xia has shown excellent learning ability.

Now he doesn't use Iverson's move very much. When he goes inside, he either throws or pulls the bar. He never deliberately uses this move to pick the basket and hit the rebound.

Just now when he wanted to dunk Splitter, the opponent chose to stand in a very good defensive position, which just caught his power point, so he used less than half of his elasticity to use the misplaced rebound to hit the rebound and score.

The richness and comprehensiveness of his offensive methods made the Spurs disheartened.

"This guy is really limitless!" Messina, the Spurs' assistant coach, recited.

"Just fucking like Michael Jordan in the early 90s!" Popovich looked grumpy and missed Bowen inexplicably.

If Bowen is there, can he be restricted?There is a high probability that it will not work, but the biggest difference between Bowen and Leonard is that he will take extraordinary measures.

The Sri Lankan has retired, and it is useless to miss it any more. The Spurs must find a way to restrain Wei Xia.

The 76ers' fearsome perimeter defense prevented the Spurs from creating opportunities without moving the ball within 20 seconds.

Ginobili broke through suddenly, tore apart the defense, and then passed the ball outward.

Finally, Tony Parker had a chance two steps beyond the three-point line.

It's a pity that Parker is the most inaccurate three-pointer on the Spurs field.

He missed his long three-pointer, and Diaw grabbed the offensive rebound and used his footwork to score a second offense.

41 is better than 54
The Spurs wanted to hang on to that breath and tried their best to control the point difference within 15 points.

Wei Xia ran to the front court at a constant speed and pulled away.

Nash handed the ball to Odom.

Odom was feinting, and Dior was not fooled. Although he was extremely smart, his excessive weight prevented him from restricting Odom's breakthrough.

Seeing that he couldn't open it, Odom broke through decisively with the ball and poured into the paint, forcing the Spurs' defense to gather towards him.

The Spurs knew he would pass, but they had to help him.As soon as the help defense arrived, he hit the ground to Hollins, who dunked with both hands.

56 is better than 41
The game then came to a variation point.

Parker's speed easily passed Nash and was about to kill the basket.

Wei Xia foresaw this scene two seconds in advance.

Everyone believes in Steve Nash's defense -- everyone puts a big, colored X on whether Nash can guard Parker.

Wei Xia understands this even more, so he can let go of Leonard who feels hot in advance.

To this day, Tony Parker still has the bad habit of making Popovich angry once a quarter when he first arrived in the Spurs.

His vision only covers half the court.

Unfortunately, Leonard is currently in a half he can't see.

So even though Leonard got a wide open, fans couldn't expect Parker to pass the ball.

Wei Xia rushed back to the basket in time and blocked Parker who was about to make a layup.

Hollins grabbed the defensive rebound and threw it directly to Odom in the middle.

An exciting counterattack appeared at the Spurs' home court!

Odom is as excited as a teddy dog ​​who goes to anyone, coquettish, fancy, ornamental, and can see everything from his counterattack.

Then, he threw the ball one-handed from behind to beyond the three-point line from the right wing.

Gordon Hayward, who followed closely, shot a chasing three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The balance is broken!
The Spurs had to request a timeout.

59 is better than 41
The 76ers played speed, played defense, and limited the Spurs' three-pointers, allowing them to use involuntary singles to solve the offense.

They achieved all the tactical indicators they set for themselves before the game.

The Spurs decided to replace the frozen Green, the ineffective Diaw, and the dedicated Splitter.

Their main adjustment is inside.

One tall and one short, one fat and one strong, all replaced.

Bring in Duncan, and Matt Bonner.

Going to Bonner at this time is a bit of a joy in bitterness.The Spurs have not yet conceded defeat, and the first half is not over, but the 18-point deficit makes them need to find ways to find opportunities to counterattack.

The Spurs still value the outside line.

The three-pointer that Popovich kept hating was the opportunity for the Spurs to counterattack.

Bonner can shoot [-]s, and that's the only thing he can do offensively.

When Duncan is full of energy, he is a top insider who can wrestle with Cousins.

It's just that this lineup didn't increase the speed of the Spurs, but made them slower.

If the success rate of the positional battle cannot be guaranteed, they will not be able to intercept any defensive counterattack launched by the 76ers after grabbing a defensive rebound.

As soon as Duncan came on the court, he used a pick-and-roll to cut into a layup to stop the bleeding for the Spurs.

43 is better than 59
Wei Xia noticed the anxiety of the Spurs.

He started moving from the sideline.

Leonard tried to stop, but was delayed by Hollins' screen.

Wei Xia immediately rushed to the free throw line like a rabbit. Duncan tried hard to use his old legs to keep up with Wei Xia, but the ball still passed to him.

The moment Wei Xia caught the ball, he tossed the ball and sent Duncan flying.Then he jumped up and slammed his cylinder into Duncan who couldn't control his body. The whistle sounded and the shooting foul was completed.

Wei Xia, who caused a foul but firmly controlled the center of gravity, easily dialed the ball.

"Shh!"

"TD, keep this state, the future is yours." Wei Xia said lightly.

Duncan turned a deaf ear and walked away.

Then, a free throw was made.

62 is better than 43
The gap of 19 points has reached a critical point.

Beyond 15 points is already a huge disadvantage.

What if the difference is more than 20 points?Putting it in any era is a sign of great defeat.

In the next defense change, Weixia's defense made it difficult for Ginobili to move.

The Argentine wanted to break through with his personal ability, but Wei Xia was able to intercept at the intersection one step ahead every time, making his goal come to nothing.

Ginobili couldn't complete the breakthrough, and the other points couldn't run out of opportunities.

The Spurs' tactics are broken!
When Wei Xia destroyed Ginobili's ball, so that he could only hold the ball one step outside the three-point line and wait for his teammates to respond, all Spurs fans were heartbroken.

If the Spurs can't play the team offense they are proud of, they won't be able to beat this powerful 76ers.

And they are already 19 points behind, and every mistake on the offensive end is accompanied by the risk of the point difference being widened.

In the end, Ginobili's pass went wrong.

The 76ers' defense was airtight, and Nash was fouled by Parker after receiving the ball from his teammates.

The two-time MVP who has been entangled with the Spurs for 6 years has come to the end.

His physical strength has obviously bottomed out. The 76ers played such a fast pace, and he couldn't last a few minutes.

Rondo replaced him.

The Spurs breathed a sigh of relief.

If Nash is on the court, the 76ers can shoot three-pointers with five points, and no one can let them go. Now that Rondo is here, they can use the method of emptying Rondo to double-team others.

This defense is based on Rondo's inability to make three-pointers.

Rondo's shooting skills are much better than those of the Celtics. Although he often allowed the opponent's empty tactics to succeed, the 76ers now lead by 19 points.

When he gets an open shot, he can shoot without any burden.

Seeing him shoot a three-pointer, Wei Xia couldn't help saying: "This goal is scored."

Sure enough—swish!

The goal that made the situation out of control was made by Rondo.

65 is better than 43
The 76ers' offense seems to be uninterruptible, anyone can make a shot, and everyone is in an unbelievably good state.

The gap of 22 points is frightening, but only 7 minutes into the second quarter, the 76ers scored 65 points.

Could it be that they will have another wave of terrifying 40+ in a single quarter like they did in the first quarter?

The Spurs still look at Duncan. Now it is not a good time or adversity, but a desperate situation.

Duncan played back singles, and suddenly he hit the board at a 45-degree angle that he often played when he was young.

Getting two points is a personal ability.

If the Spurs suddenly let Duncan play like this, if the Spurs, who have always been a team, suddenly let players develop their personal abilities, it means that they have reached the end of the road.

However, their opponent, the player with the strongest personal ability, suddenly played tactics.

The ball was transferred from the left to the right, Weixia broke through, split the ball, and at the top of the arc, it was Odom who was emptied.

He held his left hand and shot a three-pointer at the top of the arc.

"Shh!"

"The Spurs have forgotten what they look like. The 76ers they faced did not rely on the performance of a certain player."

"Yeah, they're up against a whole team."

Van Gundy repeated these words, although the end of the game is still far away, but such a situation has already doomed the end of the game.
