I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 82
At the start of the game, Willis took off with all his strength, overwhelming Nesterovic to touch the basketball first, and distributed it to Parker who was standing in the backcourt.

After receiving the basketball, the "French sports car" dribbled the ball forward without rushing, and came to the outside of the three-point line to organize the Spurs' first attack.

Duncan made an off-ball screen for Bruce Bowen, and Finley, who was chasing him, was firmly blocked. Bowen got a chance and shot a mid-range jumper.

Bang bang!Fight with anger!
Popovich on the sidelines did not regret seeing this scene, but clapped his hands to encourage the players.

The opportunity has already come out, and there is no way if you don't enter it.

What's more, the Spurs are not a team that is good at offense, but a team based on defense. As long as they force the opponent not to score, it is not that important whether they score.

The game continued, the Mavericks protected the defensive rebound, and Nash dribbled and advanced to the top of the arc to organize the offense.

Nowitzki pulled Duncan to the high position on the right, making it impossible for him to retract inside to help defend.

The inside line Rasu Nesterovic ran out quickly and set up a pick-and-roll for Nash.

After the pick-and-roll was ready, Nash used the screen to quickly break through and enter the three-point line. The chasing Parker was blocked by Nesterovic and failed to squeeze through the screen to chase Nash.

After Parker was delayed, the Spurs immediately switched defenses, and center Kevin Willis quickly moved laterally to block Nash's breakthrough route.

Seeing this, Nash played big with small ones, made an emergency stop and changed direction to pass Willis, and went to the basket.

After Duncan saw his teammate being shaken away, he didn't retreat to the inside to defend. He knew that once he returned to the inside, the guy in front of him would be able to shoot infinitely, and he couldn't let him play out of form.

Facing an empty basket, Nash ended the offense with a civilian layup.

2: 0!

The Mavericks scored the first goal, which excited the fans at the scene, and cheers and shouts resounded through the arena.

Being easily scored by the Mavericks on the offensive end with 2 points has no effect on the players on the Spurs field.

The Spurs' offense in this round is still going on in an orderly manner. After playing all the offensive tactics, the offensive time is running out.

In the end, Duncan faced Nowitzki's defense in the low post on the left and hit the board at a 45° angle.

2: 2!

In fact, Nowitzki has defended this ball very well, because Duncan's scoring method is too incomprehensible.

From a one-on-one standpoint, the Mavs don't have anyone who can stand in the way of the deadpan No. 21.

The only option to defend him is to double-team.

One top defense, one assist defense, and the person assisting defense must also be able to maneuver quickly, so as not to be unable to return to defense in time after double-teaming.

You know, Duncan's support and the offensive ability of the Spurs' role players are very strong.

If you really let others shoot, you will fall into the rhythm of the Spurs' offense. As long as you fall into it, there is no chance to get up again.

Li Xuan is the only one who can meet this condition in the Mavericks. The others are either too short to interfere with Duncan, or tall and slow to return to defense.

The Mavericks attacked, and this time Nash did not get rid of Parker's defense and distributed the ball to the outside.

Finley, who was near the 45° angle outside the right three-point line, received the pass and let Nesterovic step forward to cover. He didn't want to face the league's notorious Bowen alone.

The pick-and-roll cooperation that was very reliable before was actually snatched by Bowen this time.

Nesterovic's pick-and-roll is actually done without any problems, and the quality is very high.

But Bowen's game experience is too rich, and he was not blocked by Nesterovic at all, so he went around from the other side.

Finley saw that Bowen gave him space to shoot, but he didn't choose to shoot and passed the ball directly.

This old dirty guy waits for you to jump and shoot, and then steps up where you fell without anyone noticing.

After Jamison received the ball, seeing that the attack time was running out, he shot directly against Turkoglu's defense.

Bang bang!Fight with anger!
Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound and passed it to Parker to dribble forward.

In this round, the Spurs' offensive tactic was to let Duncan play in the low post.

Parker dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line. Seeing that Duncan was in a good position, he directly lobbed the ball in.

Duncan received the pass and singled Nowitzki face-to-face. Seeing that Nowitzki didn't step forward to defend, he directly used his signature move and hit the board again at a 45° angle.

2: 4!

On the sidelines, Old Nelson frowned slightly. He couldn't solve Duncan's point. This game was hard to win. He looked back at Li Xuan who was sitting on the bench, wondering if this kid could solve this problem.

The game continued, and the Mavericks quickly responded.

Nowitzki came to the low post on the right and was stuck in Duncan's position. After receiving the pass, he made a series of fake moves and quickly turned over for a fadeaway jumper.

Duncan immediately rushed to interfere, but failed to defend the ball.

"Shh!"

The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
4: 4!

The Spurs attacked and repeated the same tricks to allow Duncan to attract the defense in the low post. If he does not double-team, he will play singles. If he goes forward to double-team, he will distribute the ball and assist his teammates to score.

This time the Mavericks chose to double-team, and Duncan immediately distributed the ball.

After receiving the ball from outside the three-point line, Turkoglu saw that the Mavericks' defensive players failed to retreat, adjusted, and took off to shoot.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

4: 7!

On the sidelines, Old Nelson frowned. He was completely caught in the Spurs' offensive rhythm and had to make some adjustments, otherwise the game would be very difficult.

Immediately, Old Nelson requested a timeout, called the players back, and rearranged the offensive and defensive tactics.

"Li, get ready to play, I will give you a task now."

"Okay, coach." Li Xuan felt elated. He didn't expect to get the chance to play after only playing for about 2 minutes.

"You and Lasu double-team Duncan together, resolutely double-team, and don't allow Duncan to easily get one-on-one opportunities in the low post." Old Nelson arranged a defensive strategy.

"Okay, coach." Li Xuan and Nesterovic replied in unison.

After the timeout ended, players from both sides returned to the playing field one after another.

When the fans at the scene saw Li Xuan on the field, they instantly burst into deafening cheers and shouts.

"Hey, Li Xuan played early today. It seems that old Nelson is very optimistic about him and let him play to open up the situation for the Mavericks." Su Qun explained excitedly.

"It seems that Xiao Li has a heavy task today! I don't know what role Old Nelson asked him to play." Director Zhang looked serious, and was a little worried that Li Xuan would not be able to perform well under high-intensity defense.

On the playing field, when Li Xuan was playing with his teammates, the long-lost system prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding! The current situation of the host has been detected, and a temporary mission is now issued: completely suppress the Spurs!"
