Chapter 370 Timberwolves VS Spurs ([-])

Who is Danny Green?

Although Zheng Ke had carefully considered the Spurs' personnel before the game, he was still a little dazed when he saw such an unfamiliar face.

Could this be Popovich's secret weapon?
The first thing Zheng Ke thought of was the black-bellied conspiracy theory.He thought that maybe this Danny Green was Popovich's special reserve, specially set up to deal with him.Or, this is the rhythm of Popovich wanting to abandon his pawns to protect the handsome, and use Green to come up and implement a shark-slashing tactic against Jordan, who is not good at free throws?
Zheng Ke never thought that this was Popovich's helpless move, and he only hoped for a miracle.

Spurs lineup George - Hill, Manu Ginobili, Danny - Green, Duncan and Blair.Timberwolves lineup, Lowry, Marcus Thornton, Zheng Ke, Taj Gibson and Jordan.

Danny Green had two mustaches above his lips, and he looked a little wretched.But the defensive attitude was very positive, and he stuck to Zheng Ke when he came up, just like his predecessor Jefferson did.

Zheng Ke was determined to give him some flair. He came up and leaned against him, stretching out one hand to ask for the ball.

Danny Green was firmly stuck there by Zheng Ke. His face was flushed because of the force, and the veins on his forehead were exposed, but Zheng Ke remained motionless as if nothing happened.

Lowry's lob was very precise, and he immediately passed the ball to Zheng Ke who was stepping on the three-point line.

After Zheng Ke took the ball, he turned around, grabbed the basketball with both hands and placed it underneath, almost touching the ground.Then Zheng Ke looked forward, observing the situation on the field, his feet spread out naturally, and his body bent down, like a cheetah ready to go, full of strength.

The Spurs didn't double-team the first time. Zheng Ke took the ball without making any attempts. He took a step to the right and broke through obliquely.

"So fast!"

Watching the game from the sidelines, I couldn't feel Zheng Ke's speed. After actually defending himself, Danny Green immediately felt the strength of No.1 in the league.That explosive step was large, fast-paced, and surprisingly fast.Immediately, he lost his defensive position because of his too late reaction, and he was on the same level as Zheng Ke.

Zheng Ke passed too easily, and Danny Green was like a log in a daze.

Off the court, Popovich patted his forehead, wondering if he was crazy?How to play Danny Green, who hasn't played much for a season, is really dazzled.

After two steps, Zheng Ke stopped the jumper and easily hit two points.

"My God, Popovich would replace such a young man? Oh, who is this? How dare he come to defend Zheng Ke?" Barkley exaggeratedly yelled, questioning Popovich's substitution schedule .

Kenny Smith was also a little dissatisfied at this time. Although he was playing the role of the Spurs, he also expressed his incomprehension of Popovich's substitution: "Is this a joke? Although I am not the head coach, but I also know how important it is to defend Zheng Ke, and I will give it to someone. Let me see. Oh, there are only young people under the age of 24, is this appropriate?"

However, when everyone expressed their incomprehension, Danny Green scored a goal!
From George Hill's pick-and-roll breakout point, Danny Green got a shot from outside the three-point line. His defender Marcus Thornton was already in place, but this guy's shot was a little bit It's different, the release point is high, the speed is fast, and there is a feeling of jumping forward.

Zheng Ke took the initiative to defend Ginobili in the fourth quarter. He believed that after the Frenchman left the court, the Argentine was the core of the Spurs' perimeter. As the team leader, he should take the initiative to take responsibility at this time and deal with the Argentine.

Thornton was a little depressed, but Danny Green, who scored the goal, roared excitedly.

Popovich almost didn't jump out of the bench. When Danny Green shot at the top of the arc just now, Popovich's heart jumped into his throat.Fortunately, Danny Green did not disappoint him, and his previous instructions also had an effect. The decision to let Danny Green make a decisive move when he got the opportunity was indeed correct.

"Luck?"

Zheng Ke frowned, and didn't intend to switch defenses with Thornton. After all, he still felt that Ginobili's current threat was the greatest, and he also had to take Thornton's feelings into consideration.

Danny Green did pause for a while, and Thornton's defense was also very active. The two entangled each other, so Danny Green didn't have many chances to make shots.

Zheng Ke, on the other hand, is addicted to singles playing Green. When he meets a rookie-like player, he always wants to take advantage of it.

So although Danny Green has an eye-catching feeling, the narrowing gap in the score is not obvious. The Timberwolves have been leading by about 7 points and 8 points.

It wasn't until 3 minutes later that Danny Green made another three-point shot in the 8th minute.

Ginobili made a forcible breakthrough. Under Zheng Ke's pressure, Ginobili's attack line deviated greatly, and then he distributed it to the high-ranking Duncan.The chubby-looking Blair set an off-ball screen for Danny Green, who ran to the corner and opened up.Duncan made an early pass and it went directly to Danny Green.

With the ball in his hands, Danny Green felt his mind go blank, and all the boos around him disappeared, leaving only a lonely basket in the sky in his field of vision.

His goal is to put the ball in the goddamn basket.

Bend your knees and push your feet and calves together.He held the basketball in his hands and shot like a textbook. When he was at the highest point, he flicked his wrist lightly and pulled out the basketball with his fingertips.

The trajectory of the basketball in the air was slightly flat, but it hit the inner edge of the hoop straight.

"Shh!"

What everyone heard through the loudspeaker was the crisp sound of hitting the net, and they thought it was another hollow ball.

95 to 90, the Timberwolves only lead by 5 points!
Zheng Ke narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtfully at Danny Green, who made his second three-pointer in the fourth quarter.

Thibodeau was taken aback by Danny Green's second three-pointer. He estimated that the time was almost up, and he asked for a timeout as if the referee.

"How can you just give the Spurs a chance to shoot a three-pointer?" Thibo refused to mention Danny Green, but criticized the overall defense of the Timberwolves players on the field.Then he once again emphasized the Timberwolves' tactical thinking: "Everyone remember, our defense is man-to-man. The Spurs can break through and attack the inside, but we have to do a good job of defending the outside. This Spurs have raised A lot of three-point shooters, don't underestimate any of them. Suppress their outside firepower, and we can easily win."

After a timeout, Billups and Love replaced players.

As soon as Love came up, he made a very high-quality screen for Zheng Ke. Under his cover, Zheng Ke easily passed Danny Green, and then played a pull in front of Ginobili who was defending. The ball turned around, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and hit a two-point layup with a low hand.

97:90.

Parker took the ball to the frontcourt and Ginobili came out to catch the ball.Ginobili controlled the ball with his right hand and took a step, then turned to his left hand to control the ball, and broke through from the left side of Zheng Ke. This is also his regular breakthrough method and route. Zheng Ke took a step across. Keep up with ease.

Ginobili points to Duncan in the low post, and Duncan plays Love.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two solid and powerful impacts. Although Love is a white man, his ability to resist people in this low position is quite good. Duncan failed to score half a point.

Duncan turned around, took the ball and shot a jumper over Love's head, and scored 45 points after hitting the board at 2 degrees.

There is no way around this. Duncan's height and wingspan are not comparable to Love's. The two belong to the same floor type, and Duncan's shooting is somewhat similar to a straight-arm jumper.Le Fu stretched out his hand, basically he could only be in a state of staring blankly.And when he hit the board at 45 degrees, Duncan was ridiculously accurate.

The two teams hit the fourth quarter, and suddenly both entered the best condition. The execution of tactics and the level of cooperation between the players soared, and the game became more and more exciting.

The Timberwolves' offense has not been adjusted much. Zheng Ke is the master of the game and basically has the ball in his hands.

The Spurs sometimes double-team him. After taking the ball, Zheng Ke basically walks two steps and will be in a double-team state, and he will not hold on to the ball. When he finds an open opportunity for his teammates, he will Pass the ball for the first time.This allowed Zheng Ke's assists to rise rapidly in the last quarter, breaking through double digits in the blink of an eye.

3分49秒，森林狼104比98领先6分。

The Spurs requested a timeout.

At this time, Thibodeau didn't dare to put Jordan on the court. If the Spurs used the shark-slashing tactic at this time, he really couldn't guarantee the outcome of the game, so Pekovic replaced Jordan.

Strange to say, Pekovic, like Jordan, is basically a player who has no offensive ability outside the three-second zone, and CIC is even more impossible.But Pekovic's free throws are very accurate. After entering the NBA, he can basically maintain around 75%.This free throw percentage is quite good among the inside players in the NBA. The average "American-made" center has a free throw percentage of just over 60.00%.

Even someone who doesn't stick to free throws like Jordan has a lot to do.

Popovich drew a few strokes on the tactical board, marking the Spurs' tactical line.He and the players around him explained every tactical line, and divided the tasks and responsibilities of each player on the field.

Then he thought about it, looked at Jefferson who had almost rested off the court, gritted his teeth, and let Danny Green play.

"Danny (Green) we need your three-pointers. Your three-pointer of 4 shots in the fourth quarter was very good, but I hope you can continue this performance!"
