God of NBA point guards

Chapter 624 Can it work?
At 07:30, the two sides announced the starting lineup.

Spurs: Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Bowen, Stephen Jackson, Tony Parker
SuperSonics: Ben Wallace, Kurt Thomas, Mike Miller, Corey Maggette, Zhou Quan
"Bowen is still the starter. It's strange. The Spurs have no one available at the third position?" Yu Jia asked doubtfully.

Zhang Liji smiled and said: "Don't mention it, they really don't have anyone available at the third position. They don't need Bowen, they can only use shooting guards.

The Spurs have two shooting guards who are over two meters tall. In addition to Stephen Jackson, there is also a backup shooting guard who is also 201 centimeters tall. "

Jump ball, Spurs attack.

Duncan moved directly to the basket, and Ben immediately pushed forward. The former took a step around, then turned around and got into position two meters away from the left front side of the basket.

At the same time, David Robinson stopped in the high post and asked the ball carrier for the ball.

"Oh, Tim Duncan is going to beat Ben Wallace in the penalty area, and the start is very strong." Barkley shouted excitedly as soon as he saw it.

Stephen Jackson had the ball-handling responsibility, he got close to the top of the key and immediately lobbed the ball over Corey Maggette's head to David Robinson.

On the right wing, Zhou Quan released Tony Parker by two meters, but he did not dare to go over to help defend, because as long as he lost Tony Parker, David Robinson would definitely pass the ball to Parker.

The next moment, David Robinson passed the ball to Duncan through Kurt Thomas.

Duncan didn't make any fake moves after catching the ball, because Kurt Thomas had already turned around and would be in front of him in one step. There was no time to make fake moves, so he immediately turned sideways after catching the ball, with his right elbow against Ben, and his feet With one jump, he hit the board with a small hook sideways.

"Oh!"

The basketball hits the backboard and falls into the basket.

"Duncan's movements are so neat that he doesn't give anyone a chance to double-team him. Moreover, he shoots with his left hand, which is no different from his right hand." Zhang Lili admired.

Popovich kept applauding. As long as the Sonics didn't double-team Duncan without the ball, Duncan could beat Ben Wallace one-on-one under the basket without any problems.

And if the Sonics double-team Duncan without the ball, most likely the closest Kurt Thomas will double-team, then David Robinson can play a role.

He believes that as long as the Twin Towers have an absolute advantage in the paint and the Iron Fist King scores more points on the outside, the Spurs will still have a chance to win.

2:0, supersonic attack.

Zhou Quan holds the ball close to the top of the arc, and Tony Parker defends him.

He is not in a hurry to attack, but first reads the Spurs' defensive tactics.

Kurt Thomas still pulled to the right blocking area, and David Robinson guarded one step outside the right waist, adjusting his position from time to time, just between him and Thomas. It seemed that it was intentional, and the purpose was to cut off the straight line pass between him and Thomas. ball angle.

Duncan is on the left midfielder, following Ben in and out of the penalty area from time to time.

Bowen and Stephen Jackson are at the left and right elbows, two meters away from their respective defenders.

Obviously, today the Spurs are not playing man-to-man defense, but a zone defense, a three-and-two zone defense, with two defenders in the low post and three in the high post, focusing on defending outside penetrations.

He tentatively approached the top of the arc, and sure enough, not only did Parker immediately defend himself, but Stephen Jackson in the right elbow area also immediately pounced on him.

Stephen Jackson's position is also particular. It is between him and Corey Maggette. He is not allowed to pass the ball in a straight line. If the ball is dropped, it will leave time for defense.

Corey Maggette was not dead and reacted quickly. When he saw Stephen Jackson going to double-team the Iron Fist King, he immediately realized that his opportunity had come.

He is good at breaking through and dunking, but he is not good at shooting, and he has little possession of the ball or opportunities to attack with the ball, so cutting inside without the ball is his main tactic. He is very familiar with it and has a good ability to grasp cutting opportunities.

"Whoosh!"

Before Stephen Jackson's double-team arrived, Zhou Quan passed the ball in a straight line from between the gaps and accurately reached the hands of Corey Maggette.

Maggette caught the ball one step outside the right waist. David Robinson below had already moved to his side. He dribbled the ball forward and faced Duncan who came to cover and made a pull-up jumper at the right waist.

"Snapped!"

Duncan jumped to block the shot, but missed as David Robinson caught up from behind and blocked Corey Maggette's shot.

"Oh, the ball didn't come by itself. It was a fake shot and a real pass. It attracted double-teams and then passed it to Ben. Ben was empty under the basket." Zhang Liangli sighed regretfully.

Duncan grabbed the ball, saw Tony Parker outside the top of the key and turned around, and quickly threw the ball over.

The direction of his pass was particular, to Parker's right side, because the Iron Fist King was on Parker's left side to avoid being interrupted.

Zhou Quan followed Tony Parker to defend on the left side. Parker was called a French sports car and was very fast. He couldn't pass him in a moment.

But when Parker received the ball, although he had no chance to intercept the ball, he immediately engaged in physical confrontation and intentionally made physical contact.

At the moment of catching the ball, the two were slightly bumped. The 84-kg Parker couldn't help but tilt his feet, and the ball bounced off his wrist.

"Lost the ball!" Yu Jia shouted.

Parker didn't expect it, so he rushed forward and passed.

Zhou Quan was well prepared, slowed down in time, rushed two steps forward, and grabbed the ball before Parker.

"Foul! That's a foul!" Popovich was so angry that he jumped on his feet and kept yelling.

But no one paid attention to him. The Iron Fist King and Parker were both moving and did not form a so-called cylinder. Physical contact was a normal confrontation. Who told you that your confrontation ability is inferior to others?During the transition between offense and defense, Zhou Quan approached the top of the arc again, passed the ball to Mike Miller, caught it back, and then said to Tony Parker, who was leaning down to prepare for the attack: "Tony, I will pull up here in three seconds, right here. .”

While talking, he pointed to the position under his feet and added with a smile: "Now the countdown begins. Three..."

"what?"

Parker's mouth dropped open.

"Oh hoo!"

"Ha ha……"

Whether it was fans or media reporters, including those on the SuperSonics bench, everyone who heard it screamed in excitement.

Only the Spurs, everyone who heard it, whether they were players on the court or on the bench, instantly tightened their nerves and their brains began to become congested.

"two!"

Zhou Quan's countdown is like a magic spell, making the Spurs' brains continue to be filled with blood.

"Go up and fuck him!"

Popovich's angry roar sounded.

"one!"

At this moment, Zhou Quan's countdown ended and he stood up in the next moment.

Tony Parker also reacted quickly, and his nerves were tense all the time, but after he jumped up, he discovered that his hand was still some distance away from the Iron Fist King's ball, only reaching the Iron Fist King's forearm.

Zhou Quan flicked his five fingers, and the ball flew toward the basket like a rainbow. Then, in the sight of countless people, it plunged into the basket with a swipe, splashing a pool of white water.

"Oh hoo!"

In the Central Gymnasium, more than [-] home fans rose to their feet, and the cheers instantly broke through the sky.

Tony Parker looked back at the basket, then back at the Iron Fist King beside him, his eyes a little blank.

Bowen glanced at Tony Parker with pity. This little sports car was going to be in trouble. It might be destroyed by the boss.

The Spurs served and Popovich called a timeout.

"Parker, Tony Parker, why don't you take the initiative to defend and interrupt his offensive rhythm? What do you do for food?"

After Parker came down, before he could sit down, Popovich's roar followed him, spraying saliva all over his face.

Tony Parker was silent, took the towel and wiped his face.

"Manu, come on."

Glaring at Tony Parker, who was disappointed, Popovich raised his finger at Ginobili.

He said to Ginobili: "If the King of Iron Fist does what he did to you again, don't be fooled by him. It's psychological warfare. Just rush up to him and interrupt his rhythm. You should be his." Trash talk is bullshit, understand?”

"clear."

Ginobili nodded quickly.

"Tim, continue to strengthen the offense at the basket, we have to beat them at the basket." Popovich said to Duncan in a deep voice.

In front of the SuperSonics bench, McMillan said: "Ben, Kurt, if they play the high-low twin towers again, try switching defenses."

"OK." The two nodded.

Zhou Quan also thinks it's good, and he can really try to switch defenses.

Ben can be defended. Although David Robinson has a height advantage in the high position, he is an old admiral. Under Ben's defense, there is no threat in staying in the high position.

And Kurt Thomas's low post defense is very tough. He can defend Duncan, Garnett, and even O'Brien, and he has no height disadvantage against Duncan.

Of course, he doesn't expect Kurt Thomas to be able to defend Duncan alone, but since Big Ben can't defend Duncan alone, why not try to switch defenses?

Soon after, the timeout ended, 2:3, and the Spurs attacked.

Zhou Quan kept up with Ginobili, and Stephen Jackson still held the ball.

The Spurs still used the first offensive tactic. David Robinson was positioned in the high post with Ben at the bottom. Duncan was close to the basket and was held up by Kurt Thomas.

"Can the SuperSonics change defense at a rapid speed?" Zhang Lili asked.

"Maybe it will work, but I can't guard Duncan anyway," Yu Jia said.
