Chapter 111 Pampas Eagle

For the Spurs, Ginobili is now playing with a rotation lineup. The Argentine won the NBA's best sixth man in 2008. This season, he is at the peak of his body and experience.

Ginobili's style of play is different from that of the Spurs. The Spurs' style of play is simple and meticulous, while Ginobili's style of play is passionate.

What does Ginobili mean to the Spurs?
Duncan is the cornerstone of the Spurs, Parker is the engine of the Spurs, and Manu Ginobili is the killer of the Spurs.

It's like the general of Qin State, Wang Jian, broke Zhao State, captured King Zhao, and took over all the land of Zhao State. After the crown prince of Yan State felt that he was alive and dead, he sent Jing Ke.

Ginobili is Jing Ke of San Antonio. Whenever life and death, Popovich trusts the most - Duncan.

In the Spurs, there is no one who can be relied on as much as Duncan by Popovich, but Ginobili is as important.

Popovich once said:

"Manu belongs to the kind of natural killer, and the slightest breath of blood will induce his latent primitive impulse. Fortunately, he is standing in our camp, otherwise, I can't imagine how cruel and tragic it would be."

Now Ginobili is not an Argentine vulture, now he is a Pampas eagle-so how important is hair.

After a layup, Ginobili returned to the defense with his long flowing hair. He looked up at Gatsby and smiled at Gatsby. He was very interested in Gatsby. This rookie started from a lower level than him. .

He was selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the 1999th pick in the second round of the 57 NBA draft, and Gatsby was simply a loser!

Losing the draft does not mean that you must not be able to play, but once you enter the league, you will become synonymous with inspiration with this earth-shattering grassroots counterattack posture, but it is unique.

After Ginobili made a layup, the score came to 62:65, and the Spurs opened the score to three points.

The Knicks can only cling to the score not to be pulled away by the Spurs, but they often cannot overtake the score.

Popovich is very vigilant, because Gatsby is a neurotic opponent, and the team coached by D'Antoni is also characterized by fast offense and defense. It's hard to press down!
Therefore, the Spurs' strategy is to grind down the position and hold the Knicks tightly in the position. Once the Knicks plan to increase the rhythm, Popovich will hit a wave of combination punches to slow down the Knicks' rhythm.

This is why the Spurs can always beat the Suns in the playoffs. Popovich is not only able to control the rhythm of his own team, but also masters how to control the opponent's rhythm.

This is the most frustrating game Gatsby has played since he entered the league. The whole game rhythm is like being stuck in a boundless swamp. Just a bubble.

Although the Knicks are still scoring, biting the Spurs tightly, the score has not been opened, but it is impossible to even the point difference.

Knicks possession.

Gatsby dribbled the ball halfway through the court and looked up at the timer. There was still one minute before the end of the third quarter, and he could barely play one and a half rounds. If he played well, he could even the score or even overtake during this time.

Gatsby waved his hands to get all his teammates out of the way. Douglas landed on the 45-degree three-point line, Ellington landed on the bottom corner for three-pointers, Jordan Hill and Jeffries sank to the basket, and only 198cm tall remained on the outside line. Defender Malik Hairston, who weighs 100kg, defends Gatsby from the front.

After this period of matchup, Hairston knew that the young man in front of him was no small matter, with accurate three-pointers and coquettish running positions, and his one-handed passing seemed simple but was like an extremely precise scalpel.

More importantly, this young man is not like a rookie who has just entered the league, but a veteran who has been in the league for many years. Lost in the matchup!

He felt that he was not dealing with a rookie, but an old guy like Steve Nash. Nash's physical fitness is well-known in the league-notoriously bad!
If someone wants to think highly of Steve Nash's physical fitness, Nash will not allow others to think too highly of him. With his bird-like physical fitness, there is no one worse than him in the league - and now there may be.

But if someone thinks this rookie is easy to deal with, Hairston feels that he must wake him up with yellow urine, is it easy to deal with?Come and try!

Hairston carefully adjusted the distance from Gatsby - not only to be able to defend Gatsby's shooting, but also to make it difficult for Gatsby to break through.

Gatsby observes the defense of the Spurs inside. Although he seems to be defending his opponent, his attention is indeed on himself. It is conceivable that once he rushes to the basket, the Spurs will definitely pinch and cut off the passing route. Waiting for ways to deal with themselves, this one they used so well:
Gatsby looked at Roger Mason, and Roger Mason and Gatsby smiled: Please don't get me wrong, I am a defender, you should be able to understand if I help defend the perimeter;

Gatsby looked at DeJuan Blair, DeJuan Blair and Gatsby smiled: Please don't get me wrong, I am a striker, you should be able to understand blocking the striker;

Gatsby looked at Antonio McDyess, Antonio McDyess and Gatsby smiled: Please don't get me wrong, I am a center forward, you should be able to understand blocking the striker;

Gatsby: ...

Gatsby withdrew his eyes and looked at Hairston. Hairston's position was perfect and his defensive posture was also perfect. He was indeed a disciple trained by Popovich, but that alone was not enough. He had to look at it. Defense under dynamics.

Gatsby moved. He broke through and attacked Hairston's slightly forward right foot. Hairston quickly retreated. Gatsby responded with a change of direction and attacked Hairston's other foot.

Hairston could only retreat again, Gatsby changed direction again, Hairston's footsteps were a little scattered, Gatsby changed direction again, Hairston finally lost his balance in the constantly changing center of gravity, The body has no way to keep up.

Seeing that the time was right, Gatsby retreated to the three-point line. Hairston tried his best to interfere with Gatsby, but his body refused to obey and fell in front of Gatsby.

Gatsby made an easy three-pointer and made it!

65: 65!

Gatsby's 24th point!
Ginobili's eyes lit up: Although Malik Hairston is average in strength, he is strong, good at quick offense and defense, and has good defensive skills. He was knocked to the ground by Gatsby. This ability It's not something that ordinary people can do. This guy is really good!
