Chapter 703 The Tribulation of the President
Yi Jianlian's chance, the left high position is open in the middle distance.

Oberto couldn't defend, Yi Jianlian raised his hand for a jumper and finally made it.

This goal is enough to shake the Spurs' strategy against Yi Jianlian.

If Yi Jianlian doesn't go in, Oberto doesn't need to expand his defense outside. Wouldn't it be nice to squat under the basket and guard the penalty area with Duncan.

However, now Yi Jianlian has made a mid-range shot, which will make Oberto hesitate.

"That's right, Xiao Yi, if you vote for him like this, he won't be able to get out." Bai Jidong encouraged loudly.

The pleasure of defeating the opponent's calculations is far more interesting than ordinary goals. Yi Jianlian is full of enthusiasm and wants to make more mid-range shots.

"Coach, when can I play?" Medved couldn't sit still, Yi Jianlian's performance made him jealous.

Solomon gave him a cold look, "When you don't make stupid mistakes."

"I haven't made mistakes for many days, why don't you suggest to the head coach, replace me, I want to play..." Medved's oral expression has improved rapidly. Although Stroh's accent is heavy, Solomon Get along with him day and night, barely understand.

"You're being stupid now." Solomon hit Medved with a blow, and the Son of the Hart fell.

Bai Jidong's defense is as dominant as his offense. Popovich has never seen a perimeter player who can destroy the offensive system like this.

It is said that insiders win the world, but the existence of Bai Jidong refute this argument.

Single defense enough to lock 90% of the players, chasing defense that won't be thrown off, assist defense with unlimited range of motion, supplementary defense with elusive...

Popovich has always been unconvinced that Bai Jidong stole Duncan's best defensive player last season, and he was convinced in tonight's game.

"Even if the defensive end does not have as much influence as TD, the overall comparison is not much worse." Popovich was secretly surprised.

Garnett's departure has inspired Bai Jidong's potential on the defensive end. He must go all out to defend to ensure that the Timberwolves' defensive system will not collapse due to the loss of Garnett.

Bai Weidong's outside pressure, and the other crowd's efforts, Duncan couldn't catch the ball for a while, and the Spurs were in a mess. Ginobili could only pass through the barrier alone.

Ginobili is one of the most disorganized people on the Spurs.

His breakthrough is like a marching cobra, looking weird, ready to bow and open its mouth at any time.

His rhythm is so weird.

Yi Jianlian has never encountered such a strange breakthrough rhythm, which gives people a feeling of knocking you out and then slowly ravaging you.

Olowokandi is the last line of defense behind Yi Jianlian. Ginobili can pass Yi Jianlian, but not him.

Ginobili made a move in front of Olowokandi and Yi Jianlian that they would never have imagined.

This is the first time Yi Jianlian has played basketball for the first time. It turns out that basketball can be played like this.

Ginobili's posture is crooked, like three-dimensional cursive script, but this posture just avoids the blocking hands of Olowokandi and Yi Jianlian.

"Is there such a thing?" Yi Jianlian witnessed the monster-like kick.

Ginobili's layup flew to the top of the backboard, almost out of bounds, rolled against the corner of the top edge, and then fell from a high place, unexpectedly falling into the center of the net.

"oh~~~~"

The commentator's exclamation was not enough to show the horror of the ball. Yi Jianlian, who has always disliked showing emotions on the court, had a look of disbelief on his face, his lips parted slightly, and he wanted to say something, but couldn't.

"What the hell is that fucking Pampas bastard thinking all day?" Popovich was so excited that he was very angry, but he said to Ginobili in this way: "The ball just now, you fucked once, I ...I ban you from the competition!"

"Is the old man crazy?" Ginobili looked at Duncan and asked his opinion.

"That shot was good. Don't you know who Popo is?" Duncan smiled lewdly. "What you say is what you say."

Ginobili touched the cap that showed signs of baldness, "I agree with what you said, but he can't do this every time. Such a great performance needs corresponding encouragement, and he confuses me every time."

"That's what Popo is," Duncan said.

Ginobili had nothing to say, and secretly gave Popovich the middle finger of "Popo, you don't understand anything".

"Are you scared? The competition is still going on, how long are you going to put on this damn face?" Bai Jidong came over to do some ideological work.

Olowokandi has been with Bai Jidong for four years, what has he not seen?Although Ginobili's ball is scary, it can't scare him.

"There's no surprise, this is the NBA." Bai Jidong said. "Where is the NBA?"

"A place where miracles happen." Olowokandi and others competed to be the spokespersons of the NBA, and together they uttered this sentence for an NBA advertisement on a certain day of a certain year.

Yi Jianlian calmed down and looked at Ginobili with a touch of respect in his eyes.

"It seems that Manu's performance just now scared our rookie." Bai Jidong said with a laugh.

Bowen ignored the rumors and didn't answer back. Ginobili's enchanting goal just now was enchanting, but that was just his routine operation.

That goal was also a signal. As long as Ginobili finds his game state, Battier can't guard him.

Although Battier has rich experience, his physical fitness is relatively mediocre. His defensive skills are inseparable from his personal efforts.

Coming to the starting point, the real competition in basketball is still talent. From ancient times to the present, there have been few cases where a team with mediocre talent defeated a team with extraordinary talent.

When it comes time to compete for talent, Vashabek is more suitable for defending Ginobili than Battier.

So, Casey called Vashabek and told him to get ready to replace Battier the next time the ball was dead.

Then came the Timberwolves' attack, Bai Jidong continued to run without the ball, commanding his teammates to run around, and sometimes making empty-handed screens for those around him.

The Spurs' defense disintegrated little by little in such a messy off-ball movement, and Bai Weidong dodged out of the three-point line to catch the ball.

Ukic flicked the ball and gave it to Bai Jidong.

Bai Weidong received the ball, falsely tossed the ball and made a fake shot that sent Bowen flying, and then broke through.

Ginobili spent a second wondering whether to give up Battier to defend Bai Jidong, and then made a decision in half a second.

Although Battier is a shooter, Bai Jidong is more threatening.

Moreover, Battier took very few shots tonight, and his hands were cold. Even if Bai Jidong passed the ball, he might not be able to score.

The above-mentioned Ginobili's self-righteous idea, when Bai Jidong really passes the ball, Ginobili can't help but regret his decision.

Battier caught the ball for a three-pointer, as simple as throwing a stone into the ocean.

"How can you let him shoot a three-pointer?" Popovich's roar then reached Ginobili's ears.

This is the price for Ginobili to make decisions without authorization. If he is right, Popovich will praise him in front of the whole team, saying, "You should learn from him more, have your own ideas, and don't follow a machine. It’s like doing what I say.”

Only an idiot would take this seriously.

Ginobili has only one Spurs player who can defy Popovich, and one is enough.

Ginobili's supplementary defense made Battier hit an open three-pointer, the Timberwolves tied the score, and the Spurs called the first timeout of the second half.

Sitting off the court, Bai Jidong could hear Popovich roaring, Ginobili must have been scolded badly.

Battier's three-pointer changed Casey's thinking about substitutions. He decided to keep Battier, but still put Vashabek on.

Yes, he decided to use a three-forward lineup.

In the playoffs last season, the Timberwolves used this talented lineup to crush the Spurs' flanks, and Vashabek also made great progress in that series.

Vashabek now has a basic awareness of the game and knows when to do what. Although the Spurs' tactics are very complicated, it is precisely the Spurs' tactics that he knows best.

It can be said that Vashabek is a trump card to kill the Spurs.

He is not a scoring maniac, nor is he a first-class defender. Compared to his ability, he is still a little behind Battier, but compared to his understanding of the Spurs, compared to the destruction of the Spurs system, Vasha Baker is the most headache for the Spurs of a person.

Last season, the Spurs were able to target Vashabek's lack of game awareness. Now they are facing a more mature Vashabek.

In the subsequent offense, the Timberwolves' three-forward lineup showed terrifying pressure.

Parker was forced to make a mistake. If he hadn't been quick enough to foul Bai Jidong in time, the Timberwolves might have launched a frightening counterattack.

"Sean, pay attention to the ball."

"I'll be ready."

Immediately, Bai Jidong held the ball and wanted to get rid of Bowen, "It's easy to break through you, but you should be in a hurry when the team places a heavy responsibility on you, right?"

Bai Jidong's trash talk disrupted Bowen's rhythm.

There is a problem with Bowen's mentality, and the choice of defense is also wrong.

Bowen's mistake was fatal, he actually wanted to steal Bai Jidong's ball.This kind of proactive defense, once the ball cannot be intercepted, will inevitably be broken by the ball holder.

Ginobili appeared again.

"Aren't you getting enough three-pointers?" Bai Jidong sneered and flicked the ball outside.

The Spurs have changed, they are ready to switch defenses in advance.

What Popovich didn't expect was that the Timberwolves set up a wall screen for their switch defense.

Bowen chased forward crazily, knocked Vashabek away, and rushed towards Battier like a hungry tiger.

Battier didn't realize that the danger was coming, and he concentrated on throwing the ball in his hand.

Bowen came and he knocked Battier away in the air.

"Sean!"
