Healing Basketball

Chapter 376 376. From the beginning to the end

It’s really not that Duncan didn’t defend well. Instead, someone else would use the Eurostep. Under the same conditions, the second attack can go to the basket without hindrance. Facing Duncan’s defense this time, [-]% of them will be seriously disturbed. Dare to say Those who can guarantee the success rate of offense are Manu Ginobili or Wade.

But even these two, after such a European step, it is difficult to close the offense with a dunk.

Duncan's defense in this area is really good!

Even if Duncan can't take off and block shots, relying on his height and wingspan to interfere, it can also have a huge impact on the opponent's take-off and throwing shots.

Duncan himself thought that he was on guard, and there was a smile that was difficult for ordinary people to detect at the corner of his mouth.

I didn't expect the other party to be able to slam the buckle in such a situation!
Obviously, the warden usually ends the offense with a layup when no one is under the basket...

In the wild cheers of the fans, Liu Xiuguang retreated.

The talent transformed from the copied characteristics is often more buggy than the copied object's own characteristics, with the "snake step" bonus, Liu Xiu's European step can take off with all his strength when taking off every step, including the third step to attack the frame!Coupled with bounce +3 and bullet speed +3, there is a bonus of "Little Overlord's Knee Pads", the bullet speed soars to 92, and the bounce height of 89 gives Duncan a hard time.

Win the first attack at the start!And with such a scoring method, the teammates were so excited when they ran back to the backcourt and high-fived Liu Xiu.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Spurs attack.

Parker pressed his speed forward to the frontcourt, patiently waited until the time to launch an attack, and immediately accelerated his sprint and began to break through!
He didn't believe that the sophomore on the opposite side could guard him, he didn't believe... Then Liu Xiu caught him when he changed direction while moving at high speed!
At this time, whenever Parker has an emergency stop for a mid-range shot or a three-pointer with one hand, he can get rid of the defense and complete the shot.

But he doesn't have these abilities!

Withdrawing to re-launch the attack and find a partner is the best choice, but Parker doesn't!He refused to accept it, he forced himself, and was pushed by Liu Xiu all the way to the middle distance of the bottom line on the left side of the three-second zone.
The ball was fanned into the auditorium to the left of the basket, causing exclamations.

Even more surprising came, the Spurs called a timeout!
Although the next ball still belonged to the Spurs, the Spurs had only 6 seconds left to attack because they didn't touch the frame.

The Trail Blazers players didn't know why. When they walked to the bench, they subconsciously looked at the warden. The warden felt the doubts of his teammates and said, "I think the opposing coach wants to vent his anger by scolding the French sports car."

Everyone turned their heads and saw Popovich took two steps forward to meet Parker, and then pointed at Parker and cursed.

I don't know why, seeing this scene, the teammates felt that the warden seemed very powerful, and his eyes were always particularly sharp in these things.

Even the confusion about why the opponent called a timeout, and the interruption of the rhythm by the opponent's sudden pause were ignored.

On the other hand, after Popovich vented and scolded, he felt in a good mood-the method learned from the teacher is good.

And he is smarter than that teacher, he always only stares at one person and scolds, and he doesn't scold the street, just scolds things, and when he scolds someone, he can still show 'I am for your own good'.

No, although Parker was not angry, he really did something wrong. He did not execute tactics calmly, disrupted the team's offensive discipline, and self-blame prevailed.

At this time, a hand was printed on Parker's head, and he felt the warmth of this world.

But he didn't know why he still felt a little bit of danger.

……

Back from the timeout, neither team made any substitutions.

The Spurs frontcourt ball, Parker received the ball, as expected by the Trail Blazers, and handed the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili holds the ball, and the other nine players on the field are very focused.

Ginobili, who was in the second grade last season, has already made his debut. This season has entered the peak period. After one-third of the season has passed, he will be given the nickname - one man holds the ball and nine others are afraid!
The last player who was feared by one man with the ball was called White Chocolate. When White Chocolate became a good point guard, the demon knife became another form of one man with the ball and nine men feared.

"Manu Ginobili, 27 years old, 198 cm, 93 kg, SG/SF, ability evaluation 84 (?), offense 87 (?), defense 82, three-pointer 80, mid-range shot 67, layup 95, Speed ​​91, strength 88, jumping 94, stamina 86... averaged 29 minutes per game, 15.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.8 steals per game..."

Looking at the data, Ginobili is on par with Parker this season, and his physical strength has just reached the level of being able to play the main force, which is a lot worse than Parker.

But Liu Xiu's fear of Ginobili is much higher than that of the immature sports car who is only 22 years old!

To put it simply, Ginobili was regarded as an All-Star favorite when the All-Star voting began after more than 20 games after the start of the season, while Parker was not.

Liu Xiu is quite worried about the old glove's defense. On the other hand, Popovich and the rest of the Spurs are full of expectations for Ginobili.

The Spurs are too stable, so stable that they don't have the ability to struggle when encountering a desperate situation, and now they finally have a variable - Ginobili the Demon Sword!

Every time Ginobili broke out in his peak period, Popovich thought of the high school student on the West Coast that made him intoxicated.

Under everyone's gaze, Yao Dao, who received the ball, faced Payton's close defense, and immediately began to break through in singles. There was not much time to attack... After reaching the free throw line, he took a two-point retreat and hit the basket with a "clang" sound. on the box.

Raheem grabbed the ball and pushed forward to counterattack, and gave the ball to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu received the ball while moving, and went into the basket against the chasing Parker and made a layup.

Popovich almost spit out a mouthful of old blood: You are just like a master, do you want you to shoot like a master?Is CIC something you should do?You only made 51 mid-range shots last season, and only 15 mid-range shots this season so far, don't you know?

So angry!You have to scold Parker in the next timeout!

……

Parker couldn't move, and the double-edged sword of the demon knife stabbed himself at the beginning of the night, and the Spurs entered a headwind situation at the beginning.

At this time, it is up to Duncan.

When it came time for the Spurs to attack, Duncan received the ball in a low post, took a step against Kwame Brown's defense, turned around with a retreat, shot Kwame Brown with a feint, and made a hook shot...hit! 2 to 4, Duncan made a decisive attack to help the Spurs stabilize the situation.

This is absolutely perfect!Other players with top physical fitness were unwilling to believe the facts after suffering injuries that affected their athletic ability. Those who were extremely confident or fearful had to prove that they did not decline in the game; and Duncan confirmed the inevitable impact of the injury. , looking for the trainer with no expression on his face, and began to adjust his style of play. Relying on his solid basic skills, he turned into a floor player in one summer.

For other players, it's hard to say which of Duncan's style of play last season and his style of play this season is better.

But after playing Kwame Brown, Duncan became a floor player, and it was easier to deal with it.

Kwame Brown is only a 22-year-old young man. He is very strong against players with low physical fitness. It is still very difficult to defend against Gasol, Nowitzki and now Duncan.

However, when the Spurs started, Duncan needed to score to stabilize the situation, which meant they were in trouble!
With Liu Xiu's opening dunk, Kwame Brown and Raheem blocked shots twice at the start. The Trail Blazers' momentum was like a rainbow. Even if Duncan stabilized the situation, they couldn't suppress the momentum of the Trail Blazers.

The Spurs have entered a headwind situation. In this case, if Ginobili can't play, Popovich has only one way-strengthen the defense and point to Duncan to withstand the opponent's impact.

When it was time for the next dead ball, Popovich replaced Ginobili to prevent the demon knife from continuing to commit suicide, and replaced him with Brent Barry to enhance shooting stability, strengthen confrontation, and continue to improve defense.

The Spurs' strategy was very effective, the rhythm of the game was suppressed, and the offensive success rate of the two teams began to decline.

At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs clenched the score 21-24.

But in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 26 to 20 in a single quarter. At halftime, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs 50 to 41, widening the point difference to 9 points!
The Spurs blocked three-pointers, protected the frame, and defended against flank cuts... They even defended the corners on both sides very well. After all, the Spurs themselves are the No. Suns and Sonics.

But the CIC is a loophole on the Spurs' defensive end!
The Trail Blazers didn't have Kobe's mid-range one-on-one singles player to challenge the Spurs alone, but the mid-range shot Spurs of Liu Xiu, Flying Squirrel, and Randolph did not dare to underestimate them.

Relying on the restraint of three people playing in twos, Raheem, the outlaws, McDyess, Payton... and others received the ball from the middle distance and threw it very decisively.

This is not a catch shot. The Blazers' bold coach and immature warden combined the tactics specially arranged by the guards' substitutes or veterans!
The 9-point difference is really a big problem for the Spurs, but Popovich really has no other way except pointing at Duncan and Ginobili.

He adjusted and responded properly on the defensive end. In the third quarter, the Spurs finally restricted the Trail Blazers from scoring. In the third quarter, the Trail Blazers only scored 19 points. Good defense, the Spurs themselves only scored 20 points.

After three quarters, the score was 69 to 61, and the Trail Blazers maintained an 8-point lead into the final quarter!

In the third quarter, the Spurs actually created the conditions for the stars of the team to make a comeback, but the star they were counting on failed to make a comeback. At the end of the quarter, they still created opportunities, but they still didn't make it... Tonight, Demon knife from the beginning to the end!
吉诺比利今晚打了23分钟，8投1中，其中三分球3中1，加上4中4的罚球，拿7分4板2助攻。
