I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 79 79. The top turns around and breaks the double-team, hitting Parker's lob dunk!

Before the start of the game, the two sides announced the starting lineup of the game respectively.

For the Spurs: Parker, Ginobili, Bruce Bowen, Duncan, and the bulky center Nesterovic who is [-] meters tall.

This season, Spurs coach Popovich has not put Ginobili on the bench, and the troika will try to stagger their playing time, but Ginobili has always played the game as a starter.

The main reason is that the Spurs got Hedo Turkoglu, who is in the final year of his rookie contract, from the Kings during the offseason.

That's right, it is the "Turkish Magician" Turkoglu who is well-known by fans in the Magic in later generations.

Turkoglu's physical fitness is relatively average, but his offensive skills and basketball IQ are extremely good. This season's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 41.9%.

With Turkoglu leading the second team on the bench, this undoubtedly allows Popovich to use the "demon knife" Ginobili more ruthlessly.

Since Popovich often uses 11 or even 12-man rotations, and replaces the main players off the court very early in garbage time, this allows Popovich to leave fans with the impression that the rotation is reasonable and the stars are not overused. .

But in fact, Popovich is very dependent on the stars, far from being as Buddhist as the fans think.

In the first six seasons of his career, Spurs star Duncan's average playing time under Popovich has never been lower than 39 minutes, and the highest season even reached 40.6 minutes.

If it weren't for the frequent use of a wide range of rotations during garbage time, fans could obviously find that Popovich is not as good as people think.

As for some people saying that it was Popovich's coaching that made Tim Duncan, it sounds more like a joke.

With Tim Duncan's personal ability at the time of the draft, no matter which team Duncan goes to, he will definitely become one of the best power forward players in history.

Duncan, who has left Popovich, may be full of variables, but he will definitely succeed in the end.

But Popovich, who left Duncan, could only lead his team to win the No. [-] pick.

After Popovich took over from the former Spurs coach Hill, Popovich ushered in Tim Duncan, one of the strongest No. [-] picks in history, in the second year of his coaching career.

It can be said that Popovich held a handful of good cards when he first debuted, and the rumors of achieving Tim Duncan are completely nonsense.

After all, before Tim Duncan was picked in the draft, Popovich only led the team to a record of 20 wins and 62 losses that season, ranking third from the bottom in the league.

Using a 24.4% winning percentage in a single season to achieve Tim Duncan, this is simply the most fucking joke in the 21st century.

On the Hawks side, the starting five are still the same: Nash, Derek Anderson, Stephen Jackson, Suter, and Rasheed Wallace.

In addition to Suter, who is about to confront Duncan head-on, for Stephen Jackson, this game will also encounter some difficulties.

Because the defender Jackson needs to face in this game is Bruce Bowen, who has been selected to the best defensive team for three consecutive years.

Looking at the entire history, Bruce Bowen averaged only 6.1 points per game in his career, which can only be regarded as an inconspicuous existence.

But "Uncle Bao" is well-known for his unique skill of "stepping".

Even in addition to Bruce Bowen, there are other players in the league who have stepped on their feet, but Bruce Bowen is definitely one of the representative figures who carried forward the word stepping.

Even if Bruce Bowen's defensive ability like a dog skin plaster is indeed very good, except for the Spurs fans, no one will appreciate such a clown who plays dirty and has a smelly mouth.

Originally Suter couldn't understand Bruce Bowen, but now, Bowen took the initiative to provoke him before the game. Suter felt that if he didn't teach him a meal, he might not even be able to eat after the game.

He stepped forward and patted Stephen Jackson on the shoulder. Su Te said pointedly: "The Spurs are your old team. I don't know if you still feel nostalgic for this group of people."

A look of disdain appeared on his face, and Jackson almost spit on the ground: "Bah! My old ass club, if I hadn't been in the Spurs for two years, I would still be the dick I am now??"

"There are not many good things in the garbage team from top to bottom. I have endured for a long time for this game, and I will explode today no matter what!"

Before joining the Hawks, Stephen Jackson spent the first two seasons with the Spurs.

However, in the 9.9-3.9 season, Jackson's playing time was only 8.2 minutes, and his average performance of [-] points per game was not as good as his rookie season's average of [-] points per game.

Although Jackson's personal scoring has risen to an average of 11.8 points per game since last season, he still has no tactical status in the Spurs, delaying his youth for two years for no reason.

Seeing Jackson's fighting spirit, Suter felt very relieved. Even if there was a real conflict between him and the opponent, Jackson would most likely take the lead and show his "martial saint" attitude in advance.

"It's fine if you don't have any feelings. I have to teach Bruce that guy a lesson no matter what I say today!"

"Bruce? Did that mad dog bite you?" Jackson looked puzzled.

Seeing that the game was about to start, Suter waved his hand without elaborating, but looked up at Bowen with a murderous look in his eyes. "You said that guy is a mad dog, so there is no need to teach a mad dog a reason."

Hearing this, Jackson didn't even think about it, and directly raised his hand and patted his chest: "If that guy dares to offend you, I'll beat you to death! You just take the shot, and leave the rest to me." Alright, whoever dares to move today, I'll kill him!"

As soon as the words fell, Rasheed Wallace on the side moved his head closer: "What are you talking about? It's so explosive that it has risen to the point of killing people?"

Suter smiled lightly, and jokingly replied to Wallace: "It's nothing, it's just a little itchy."

After the game started, Rasheed Wallace helped the Eagles jump to the ball first by virtue of his excellent jumping and wingspan.

Nesterovic is a typical floor center. Except for his height of [-] meters, he has no advantage when jumping the ball.

Holding the ball through halftime, Steve Nash raised his right hand high, indicating that others on the field opened up, leaving the strong side to himself and Souter.

The Spurs are the best defensive team among the 29 teams in the league this season. The average points conceded per game is even lower than that of the Detroit Pistons, ranking first in the league.

In terms of personal defensive ability alone, except for Bruce Bowen and Duncan, the defensive efficiency of the Spurs is average.

But what makes the Spurs outstanding is that both Duncan and Bowen can rotate quickly. The lateral movement speed of these two is very good, even if they are misplaced for defense, they will not be helpless.

When Nash was playing for the Mavericks, he had played against the Spurs. Against a defensive team like the Spurs, opening up space is definitely the top priority.

So just after halftime, Nash signaled everyone to pull apart and try to maximize the formation on the court.

Even Rasheed Wallace, who usually forms an iron triangle with Suter and Nash on the strong side, was forced to move to a high position. It's as easy for other teams to get inside.

He brought it up and made a pick-and-roll for Nash. The moment he opened it, Suter quickly cut to the penalty area.

However, Duncan's lateral movement speed is very fast. Even if he suffered a serious injury before, Duncan's defensive efficiency is one of the best among interior players.

Failed to form a direct scoring opportunity through the pick-and-roll, Suter, who received the pass, did not pause at his feet, and quickly took a turn to the left.

But as soon as Suter turned around, he found that Bruce Bowen on the flank had appeared in front of his eyes, forming a double-team with Duncan, and stuck himself in the middle.

"So fast!"

Shocked by the speed of Bruce Bowen's silent help defense, Suter tried his best to calm himself down, and used the corner of his eye to find the passing route.

Fortunately, Suter's ball-handling attributes have been raised to B-level before, otherwise, facing a double-team like the Spurs, Suter has a high probability of losing the ball.

"It's useless, brat! You can't escape my palm!"

While double-teaming, Bruce Bowen said with a look of contempt.

"Shut your mouth!"

As soon as the words fell, Suter passed the ball in the direction of Steve Nash with a fake intention, and deceived Tim Duncan on the right side of his body. At the same time, Suter immediately retreated with the ball.

Taking advantage of Duncan's sideways footsteps, Suter quickly turned twice to the right to adjust his position, trying to open the position between himself and Bruce Bowen.

Faced with Bowen and Duncan's pressing every step of the way, Suter, who had already reached the bottom line, chose to take off before turning around completely, almost using a twist-like movement to turn over and shoot a jumper.

"Shu~"

2:0
As the sound of the basketball hitting the net sounded, Suter looked down at his right hand, which was like a godsend. When passing by Bruce Bowen, Suter still did not forget to show a smile.

"Your help defense is terrible. If I were the head coach, I would definitely let you go off the court immediately."

Hearing Suter's aggressive sarcasm, Bruce Bowen clenched his fists hard. Although he felt angry in his heart, he had to admit that Suter's top turn and turnaround jumper just now were indeed very smooth, at least that kind of action didn't look like it should Appears on a Brutalist striker. "hateful!"

"Turn around!"

"The Vulture once again used the spinning top to send the ball to the basket under the pressure of both Bruce and Tim!"

"This offense was very exciting. The Vulture showed his ingenious offensive pace to the outside world. In addition to dunking, the Vulture proved that he can score in many ways!"

"With this goal, the Vulture took the lead in scoring on Tim's head, which will be crucial for the Vulture's next confidence!"

The Spurs attacked, and Parker held the ball through half court, waving for Duncan's high pick-and-roll.

As a leading star in the league, Duncan is willing to pick and roll on the offensive end and fill loopholes on the defensive end. This is absolutely incredible.

It is precisely because of this that few fans criticize Duncan. Even fans who don't like Duncan's style of play rarely take the initiative to find trouble.

Using the pick-and-roll, Parker passed Steve Nash's defense in one step. Nash's defensive level is very average, and Tony Parker is one of the fastest starting point guards in the active league.

Once Parker uses the pick-and-roll to break through, few people in the league can keep up with Parker head-on.

Seeing that Nash lost his defensive position without even defending for a second, Suter had no choice but to delay, otherwise Parker, who broke through, would kill the game with his iconic throw.

Even if Rasheed Wallace stood behind him, he couldn't prevent Parker's throwing shots on the move. It wasn't because Wallace didn't have enough reflexes, but the throwing shot was the fastest shot on the court.

Unless the shot is thrown under the nose of the defender, this kind of offensive technique is difficult to be blocked. It has been trained to the level of "French sports car" Parker, and it can even be compared with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's "Skyhook".

After all, Parker's throw is the most skilled existence among all point guards in the NBA. In later generations, Parker used his throw to kill the Heat sitting on the Big Three and help the Spurs win the fifth championship trophy in team history.

Hooks, throws, pull rods, and fadeaways, these four skills can be called the four major offensive skills for a reason.

As Suter moved laterally and got stuck in Parker's driving route, Parker immediately returned the ball to Duncan.

Even though Nash, who has a very high golf quotient, has already stood in front of Duncan and quickly completed the defense with Suter, but facing Nash's personal defense, Duncan directly made a successful mid-range shot, completely ignoring Nash's shooting interference.

2:2
After all, there is a height gap of 20 centimeters between the two. In addition, Duncan likes to find the board in the shot, and his shot point is already very high. If Nash wants to prevent this group of dislocations, he can only pray that Duncan does not feel good and misses the ball.

It's a pity that the description of being as stable as an old dog is not groundless. For this kind of near-open shooting opportunity, Duncan, who is full of energy, will hardly miss it.

With a helpless face, he put his hand on the jersey and wiped it twice repeatedly. Nash felt that he might be in big trouble in this game.

After all, the pick-and-roll cooperation between Parker and Duncan just now is one of the offensive methods that the Spurs rely on most this season.

Parker's breakthrough speed is very fast, and Duncan's mid-range shooting efficiency is very stable. After the pick-and-roll, the two take advantage of each other's strengths, which is almost the same as the cooperation between Nash and Souter, which is enough to cause headaches for most teams in the league.

Unless the personal efficiency of the defensive players is extremely strong, it will be difficult to cut off the offense at the root.

After just one round, Nash realized that he still couldn't guard Tony Parker.

Even though his position was already relatively low, he tried his best to let Parker shoot from outside the three-point line, but Nash vaguely felt that Parker's starting speed became faster than when the two played against each other last time! !
Considering that Parker just turned 22 years old this year, Nash felt that the improvement in speed was not an illusion of his own. After all, Parker has a lot of room for growth, and he should be impressed by him in three days. This sentence is simply too appropriate for Parker. .

"Next time stand a little further back. If you can't defend yourself, don't follow hard. I will always be stuck in Tony's breakthrough route."

"It doesn't matter if you can't prevent Tim from being misplaced. You can focus on Tony's return."

"As long as Tim can't receive the pass after the pick-and-roll, there will be no misplacement." Patting Nash on the shoulder, Suter said as he passed by.

Nodding in response, Nash and Souter thought the same thing, since Parker's breakthrough and Duncan's misalignment couldn't be prevented, he simply made it impossible for the two to form a misalignment!
The Eagles attacked, and Suter continued to step forward to make a pick-and-roll for Nash. This time, Suter still chose to turn around and cut down.

However, due to the last round and the regular play of the Eagles this season, when defending pick-and-rolls, Parker and Duncan's defensive attention was basically on Suter.

Seeing the opportunity, Nash decisively combined the ball from outside the three-point line, aimed slightly at the basket, and then made a steady shot.

5:2
"Steve played very smart this round. Seeing the Condor successfully attracting the Spurs defense, Steve immediately gave a fatal blow from beyond the three-point line."

"The cooperation between the two has become more and more proficient, and they look like partners who have been working together for many years."

The Spurs attacked, and Parker, who achieved miraculous results, wanted to repeat the old trick. However, while Sutka was on Parker's breakthrough route, Nash behind him was also closely watching Parker's passing route, and he was determined not to give Parker any easy return. Chance.

Seeing that the two were staring at each other on the defensive end, Parker didn't dare to try lightly. He circled into the three-second zone and came out of it. Parker passed the ball to Ginobili in the high position.

The latter quickly broke through after receiving the pass and sprinted to the free throw line. Ginobili, who saw the opportunity to attack, jumped up and transferred the ball to Bruce Bowen in the left corner.

After receiving the ball, Bowen made a decisive three-pointer from the corner.

"boom!"

Unfortunately, the intensity was a little stronger, and the rebound was picked off by Rasheed Wallace.

At the same time, Suter has buried his head and started sprinting forward, preparing to use the counterattack to form an offensive opportunity.

The speed bonus of the king of running and bombing is very impressive, allowing Suter to take the lead in defensive counterattacks. As long as his teammates can pass the ball smoothly, Suter can basically use the counterattack to cause damage.

Seeing only Tony Parker barely retreating in front of him, and Bruce Bowen who was struggling to catch up behind him, Suter opened his hand while running and shouted to Steve Nash behind him: "One hit two, Great opportunity! Throw it into the sky!"

Hearing the sound, Nash locked onto Suter's running position through his silky long hair, and then threw the ball over with a wide-range long pass.

Seeing the pass coming straight towards him, Suter sprinted to the vicinity of the three-second zone completely ignoring the 1.8-meter-eight Tony Parker in front of him, jumped up and caught the basketball through Parker, and then poured the ball hard. into the basket!

"Bang!"

7:2
With a loud noise, Tony Parker, who originally wanted to intercept the pass, was knocked out of the baseline by a huge impact!
If he hadn't bumped into the basketball hoop to be cushioned, Parker would probably have been knocked into the fan tunnel by Suter's brutal alley-oop dunk!
