The way of the center

Chapter 564

Duncan successfully scored 3 points on Anjie's head, and this goal also represented the determination of the Spurs to win.

Hitting the three is always a morale-boosting offense.What's more, it was Duncan who completed the goal.

When the Trail Blazers attacked again, they found that the entire morale of the Spurs was higher than before.

Lillard had just dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line when Tony Parker suddenly sprinted desperately.

Upon seeing this, Lillard immediately planned to hold the ball with both hands, but his speed was still slower than Parker.

Parker's rapid sprint allowed him to poke the ball away from Lillard's hand, but due to the rapid acceleration, Parker's center of gravity began to become messy.The guy staggered a few steps, knowing that he would definitely not be able to catch up with the basketball.So he jumped up and hugged the basketball that had been taken away by him tightly in his arms.

"Another flying save, and that kind of intensity is something we've seen so many times in this series."

At the moment Parker hugged the ball, Leonard happened to pass by the Frenchman.Tony Parker lay on the ground and threw the ball forward, and sent the ball to Leonard's hands accurately!
Lillard clung to Leonard's back, but Leonard's much stronger body than Lillard gave him the upper hand.

In the end, the young Leonard held Lillard and successfully dunked!In order to prevent the Spurs from getting another penalty, Lillard didn't interfere much.

"It's a perfect defensive counterattack, and Tony Parker's desperate steals are simply too unexpected." Kenny Smith couldn't believe that the Spurs played today with the energy and vigor that only young teams can have.

"After all, the Spurs have been pushed to the edge of the cliff by Ann. They have no way out. Even if they fight to the death with the Blazers, they must win!"

"Don't be afraid of Damien! Keep the ball, hold on, hold on!" Ricard yelled at Lillard from the sidelines. Lillard, who made a mistake and was not blamed, also became more cautious and determined.

In the next offense, Lillard successfully found a gap and made a layup through several passes and off-ball moves.

Seeing that Lillard is still attacking bravely, Ricard is also relieved a lot.Apart from inexperience, the biggest shortcoming of young players is that they tend to lose self-confidence.After being intercepted by Parker just now, Ricard was still worried that Lillard would be timid, but as far as it is concerned, this kind of thing will not happen to Lillard.

The two sides just went back and forth, and each of them performed very well. Popovich and Ricard also called a few timeout adjustments, but neither of them could restrain the other in the first quarter.

This situation continued until the end of the first quarter and was not broken by either side. 25 to 25, after 12 minutes of fierce fighting, the two sides temporarily tied, regardless of superiority.

"Another draw. The players on both sides played very well today, which is in stark contrast to the exhausted state of the previous game. After all, it is a last stand, and no one is willing to let go first." Kenny Smith was sweating profusely, wonderful The game got the guy totally into it.

"After the game, it will be very difficult for the Blazers." On the other side, ESPN's Mike Breen made a different assessment of the situation.

"Really? But from the current point of view, the two sides are playing equally?" Mike Breen's partner can't see any advantage for the Spurs.

"Now it seems that they are indeed on par, but the three GDP players played very well today. The longer the game, the more trouble these three guys will bring to the Blazers." Mike Breen looked serious, and the Spurs The scariest time for the team is when all three of GDP can perform!
"Tim, Tony, Manu. At the beginning of the second quarter, I want you all to play! According to Ricard's employment habits, he should let Ann rest on the court early in the second quarter. This is your chance! Grab Take the opportunity of the Trail Blazers rotation, widen the score, and establish an advantage!" Popovich looked at the three in front of him confidently. After so many years, the Spurs sent off many people and welcomed many new faces. .But the positions of these three guys will never change, and they are also the most trustworthy.

The short intermission time was fleeting, and Ricard frowned when the Spurs players came on the field.

Duncan, Parker, Ginobili.The presence of these three old carriages at the same time can only prove one thing-Popovich wants to open the score.

As for the Blazers, as Popovich expected, the main players such as Anjie and Aldridge are still resting, and now they are sending a half-substitute half-main lineup on the court.

"It's 2013 now!" Ricard said to himself, GDP is indeed powerful, but that's only for their era.

The game started and the Spurs took the lead.Batum set up his posture, and the task Ricard gave him was to continue to lock Leonard.In Rickard's view, the youngest Leonard in the Spurs is the most dangerous point.

However, this time, the offense organized by Parker did not find Leonard at all, but directly passed the ball to Ginobili, who was about to be bald.

Argentina's "Demon Knife" rushed with the ball. Matthews didn't expect Ginobili to play so resolutely, so he reacted a little too late.

After a successful breakthrough, Ginobili jumped up for a layup, but his ball holder slapped himself on the back with the basketball.

A pass behind the ground without looking at people, the target of Ginobili's pass is naturally Duncan who has withdrawn to the free throw line.

Meyers Leonard thought he would definitely be able to complete the block, but when he discovered that Ginobili didn't have the ball in his hand, it was too late.

Duncan seemed to make a symbolic jump before shooting the ball.The basketball hit the neck of the basket, but fell into the net during the second fall.

A simple mid-range shot scored, but the fans in the ATT center were excited!This is not just a mid-range shot, this is a standard GDP offense!
"Beautiful cooperation, no matter what era, the trio of the Spurs is always full of threats!" Mike Breen couldn't help applauding the Spurs. His prediction was indeed right!
Leonard?Danny Green?No, no, at the moment of life and death, you still have to rely on three old carriages!
An Jie glanced at Ricard, the leader of the Trail Blazers obviously felt a sense of crisis.

"Those three guys are in very good condition today. Let us go up early. Otherwise, the score may be drawn." Anjie proposed to Ricard.

"En." Ricard calmly agreed, and then supported his chin to observe the venue.

The Blazers' offense ended with Batum's three-point strike.Duncan took off the offensive rebound and immediately passed the ball to Parker.

The two old guns, Parker and Ginobili, started running wildly. Fortunately, the Blazers retreated fast enough, otherwise these two guys might have staged another gorgeous attack.

Fisher was panting in front of Parker, but Parker didn't give Fisher a chance to breathe.

After the sudden start, he quickly turned around, and Parker passed Fisher, who couldn't walk, cleanly.

Facing Meyers Leonard's defense, Parker easily made a throw.The Spurs made another victory, and An Jie clenched his fists off the court.

In the next round, Duncan passed the ball suddenly after attracting double-teams at the basket, allowing Ginobili, who was ambushing in the bottom corner, to get a three-point shot.The Argentine didn't waste Duncan's pass. He used his precise three-pointer to extend the Spurs' lead to 7 points.

"Pause, pause." Ricard finally couldn't hold back anymore. He originally thought that if the point difference was not widening quickly, he would try his best to let Anjie and the others rest for a few more minutes.But now it seems that if the momentum of the Spurs is not interrupted, the point difference may go to double digits.

Everyone knows the purpose of Ricard calling this pause, the battle between Anjie and GDP is about to take place!

"That guy is coming, you have to play more cautiously and smartly. Remember, don't limit our offense to the outside just because Ann is on the court. This guy is not a god, he is not invincible!" Popovich Tapped the tactical board.

"Defense, if we want to tie the score, we must start with defense. After the game, whether to advance or return to Portland is your choice!" Ricard put the focus of his tactics on defense.

The game resumed, Matthews and Lillard served from the backcourt, and the others took positions in the frontcourt first.

An Jie was standing on the flank one step inside the three-point line at the moment, and Duncan naturally followed him inseparably.

"Let you see how powerful the old guys are."

"Huh!?" An Jie turned his head abruptly. Just now, was the stone statue of Duncan talking to him?
When An Jie looked over, Duncan returned to his expressionless state.He really is a stone statue, but he doesn't have a heart of stone.This dude, Duncan, will also be excited!

Lillard raised his hand, motioning for someone to come to the high pick-and-roll.An Jie did his part, and he once again turned into a high wall beside Tony Parker.

Duncan waited for an opportunity behind Anjie, but Lillard didn't go to the side with the pick-and-roll, another fake pick-and-roll!

Seeing that Lillard surpassed him by half a body, Parker naturally did not dare to slack off and went after him with all his strength.However, Lillard suddenly retreated under his crotch while accelerating, and retreated outside the three-point line.

"Damn it!" Parker, who was sprinting with all his strength, was shaken by Lillard, and suddenly changed his focus.At this moment, Parker slipped and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"Oh my God! Damian Lillard knocked Tony Parker down!" The commentary area erupted, everyone yelling in their own language.

Duncan responded immediately and planned to make up for Lillard.

But when he was about to move, he found himself blocked by An Jie's pick-and-roll just now!

Lillard made a decisive shot after retreating. The arc of the basketball was a bit flat, but at this moment of fear, the orange ball was still hollow!
"Top ten shots! Absolute top ten shots! Damian Lillard, this first-year rookie is simply amazing!" Yu Jia yelled frantically, shaking Parker to make a three-pointer, you can imagine this is Something a first-year rookie did?
Anjie and Lillard clapped vigorously. It is true that the Spurs have GDP, but the Trail Blazers are not only Anjie!
"I'm not alone, Tim." This time, it was Angie's turn to speak behind Duncan.

A game at the highest level in the West, I don't know how many wonderful shots will be presented to the fans later.
