You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 769

The timeout didn't clear the minds of the Sixers.

Jay Wright thought there was nothing wrong with the team's tactics, so he just asked the players to control the rhythm and arranged a single challenge for Cousins.

The rhythm of the 76ers was adjusted, and the timeout ended with a sideline kick.

Wesha received the ball and successfully passed it to Cousins.

Cousins ​​hit Duncan again. He tried his best to change the unfavorable situation since the opening, put his back on Duncan, turned to the right and shot under the basket, but missed.He grabbed the offensive rebound by himself, started again at the basket, but still didn't put the ball in.

Cousins' two offensive failures represent that the 76ers' timeout arrangement did not have the desired effect.

Fortunately, the Spurs played fast and were intercepted by Wei Xia. They hit the standard Duncan high pick-and-roll on the ground, and missed the free throw line.

"Kawhi, can you please follow me closely?"

Wei Xia asked softly.

Leonard's silence and firm expression are the best answer.

Wei Xia believes that he will try his best to chase himself to defend, then-he will use the simplest method to let this young man know that it is not that simple to keep up with his off-ball running.

Wei Xia's endurance comes from Havlicek and training from childhood to adulthood, his physical fitness comes from Skywalker, his jumper shaping comes from Jordan, his touch comes from Bird, and his creativity comes from Maravich-so what about his off-ball movement?The answer is Larry Bird.Although the experience of traveling through Bird is only one time, the difference between Bird and Skywalker is that he was active in the 80s, which is the era of cable television.Although there are not many videos of his games, as long as he is willing, he can still find hundreds of games.

Wei Xia chose to watch Bird's game video to learn how to run without the ball.

Both Reggie Miller and Ray Allen, who are known for their running, have said that they learned their off-ball running from watching Bird's game videos.And Wei Xia learned from Bird's running without the ball, only because his time-traveling experience made him understand how high BQ Bird is.Such a person, apart from his arrogant trash talk and various pre-announced lore shots, is worth learning.

Leonard chased Weixia. He was a heavy forward, and he was not good at a lot of off-ball defense.

The Spurs are specially prepared for James, because it is impossible for James to play a lot off the ball.But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The opponent suddenly changed from James to Wei Xia, and the all-around offensive creator turned into the strongest offensive player on the Blue Star. Leonard suffered countless hardships.

He was hit by Wei Xia's pointless elbow and took a step back.

In an instant, Wei Xia turned around and rushed out of the three-point line at the top of the arc.

Rondo's pass arrived on time.

Wei Xia catches and shoots.

"Shh!"

5 is better than 7
"Saury Kawhi," Wei Xia apologized for the elbow, "if you watch Kobe Bryant on tape, you know he does it a lot."

Does this mean that Kobe will be blamed?
Leonard stared at Wei Xia's disappearing figure speechlessly.

Leonard is learning and selling, and even wants to elbow Wei Xia.

Wei Xia is an old fox who has practiced for many years, how could he be tricked.

Leaning back spiritually, dodging Leonard's malicious elbow.His fallback allowed Leonard to miss the elbow, and at the same time allowed Leonard to achieve his goal of throwing him off.Leonard immediately rushed outside to get the ball.

It's just that Wei Xia has faster flexibility and speed than him.

Even if you are thrown away, it will take an instant to catch up.

Leonard looked at Wei Xia in front of him and took the initiative to dribble.He held the ball in his left hand to change direction, and continued with his right hand. Obviously he could show a few more moves, but under the restrictions of Wei Xia, who was elected as DPOY for two consecutive years, it was difficult to make a shot.

"boom!"

"Thumbs up for your courage, Kawhi!"

Wei Xia immediately made a fast break.

Cousins ​​grabbed the defensive board with both hands and made a pass forward.

Wei Xia grabbed the ball with one hand, and suddenly hit the ground to the right. Leonard never expected that the ball would have a roundabout force. Seeing that the ball was about to be hit by Hayward, it bounced back after hitting the floor, was caught by Wei Xia's right hand, and stopped dribbling behind his back.

Leonard was sent flying a distance of three to four meters.

At this time, Wei Xia was standing three meters away from the three-point line, nine meters away from the basket, close to the position of the LOGO.

He didn't know the so-called smile, which made Leonard feel uneasy.

really!

Leonard's hunch was right—Wish was going to open fire there!
The San Antonio people at the scene all showed incredible expressions for the chasing three-pointer from nine meters away. They watched the ball spin and fly high, rushing to the basket.

When Wei Xia landed, the ball hit hollow.

"8 to 7!"

"Wish scored 6 points in a row!"

"That's what San Antonio fears the most!"

"That's right!"

"What the Spurs are afraid of is not a team like them, not a talented player, but an unreasonable superstar!"

The Spurs' home commentator Sean Elliott said: "The last thing we want to see is Wish being scored in this unimaginable way in a row."

Wei Xia's offensive made Popovich request a timeout.

Only four and a half minutes into the first quarter, there was a two-level reversal in the situation.

The Spurs had just taken advantage, and the 76ers had a timeout. Weixia broke out and scored 6 points in a row to help the team stabilize the situation.

"Very good, Felix, keep the rhythm!"

Wright put some targeted restrictions on the Spurs. He asked the players to block the Spurs' passing and cutting, especially the peripheral passing and cutting.

Still the same sentence, run, speed up.

If you can do this, you can basically pocket the victory, because the Spurs' core players are too old.

Back from the timeout, the Spurs' passing lanes were heavily impacted by the Sixers' defense.

Parker judged the situation and instantly understood that no one on the team was in a better position than him.

Only he can deal a serious blow to the 76ers.

Then he will be duty-bound, not at the peak and still start the speed quickly, pass Rondo, go to the inside to force Cousins' help defense, and give Duncan the ball.

Duncan is experienced, dribbled the ball into the basket, feinted, Cousins ​​flew, and he wiped the basket with a backhand and scored easily.

9 is better than 8
"You are so hardworking." Duncan commented on Cousins' defense.

To some extent, Duncan and Wei Xia are the same kind of people.

They will never spout vulgar trash talk, but they have all kinds of ways to make each other feel bad.

The difference between Wei Xia and Duncan is that he continued this weird way of speaking to any matchup on the court.Duncan only spouts once in a while.

The change after the Spurs returned from the timeout was to replace Ginobili with Danny Green.

Unlike Ginobili's unpredictable creativity, Green specializes in defense and three-pointers, which is the basis for him to be able to sit firmly in the starting lineup.

The 76ers hit the pick-and-roll, Rondo met Green, and the two held a high position on the left wing.

Green's defense didn't respect Rondo very much, and he emptied one meter.

Rondo was so angry that he shot from the start.

It turns out that if others don't respect you, there are others' reasons.

Rondo missed a shot, and the 76ers, who were supposed to beat the Spurs with speed, were speeded up by the Spurs.

Parker's fast break broke into the three-point line, and Wei Xia caught up. The situation was urgent, and he ate the opponent's one-handed change of direction feint.

Parker shook Wei Xia away, rushed into the basket and twisted his waist in the air to pick the basket with one hand.

11 is better than 8
Rondo doesn't believe in evil. Under normal circumstances, he should call tactics to get everyone moving.

Now, he is exasperated by his opponent's shorting strategy.

Wei Xia smelled a strange smell in the air, but it was difficult to point it out, because Rondo asked him to pick and roll.

Wei Xia had no choice but to come and chant scriptures with the prince.

Rondo wanted Wei Xia's pick-and-roll to speed past Parker. The Spurs' defense was not as fast as the 76ers'. The only threat was Duncan at the basket.

Look at his white beard, consider his plantar fasciitis, and his one-handed windmill that was hailed as a miracle during the regular season-can he still jump?
Rondo underestimated Duncan in every possible way in his heart, but in actual actions he gave him the greatest respect.

The moment he received the ball with one hand, he swayed behind his back and made a move to pass the ball to Cousins, which made Duncan hesitate.

The moment Duncan hesitated, Rondo had a chance to score a layup.

However, his speed, his explosive power, and his fear of Duncan made his layup, which was usually a surefire layup, slide to the ground along the side of the basket under the premise of hitting the backboard.

It is puzzling and ignorant.

The Spurs fought back again.

I really saw evil today. The 76ers who wanted to speed up were actually speeded up by the Spurs.

Parker's first, followed by Danny Green's chasing three-pointer.

14 is better than 8
The Spurs once again established a 6-point lead.
