Super Evolution of Basketball

Chapter 280 Duncan is handsome for only three seconds!
"Did I get rid of Leonard successfully?" Yuan Qingshan wondered.

Now he can't be sure whether he is safe, because there is always a powerful force behind him staring at him.

Just like the goshawk staring at the rabbit, no matter how the hare runs on the grassland, its body will always be shrouded in the shadow of the hawk.

The situation at the basket changed, and Whiteside was ready for an empty pick at any time.

There are still 10 seconds left in the attack time. Yuan Qingshan has already reached the free throw line at this time, and his body inertially rushes forward, getting closer and closer to the basket.

A shot must be made, and Leonard must not be given the opportunity to draw the ball. If he is determined, Yuan Qingshan will shoot as soon as he pulls up.

While taking off, Yuan Qingshan instantly felt the pressure behind him multiply exponentially, and even faintly heard the sound of the wind.

"Leonard is going to block the ball from behind!" This was Yuan Qingshan's first reaction.

So his arm continued to stretch forward instinctively to avoid Leonard's interference, but at this time the ball was shot again, but it was no longer in the rhythm.

Reggie Miller: "In order to prevent being blocked by Leonard, Yuan Qingshan forcibly dodged forward after making a good shot. The action changed. I think the ball is hanging."

As Reggie Miller said, Yuan Qingshan knew it was not good after he took the shot, and rushed to the basket as soon as his feet landed, hoping to make up for it.

The basketball spins and flies towards the hoop.

Leonard rushed to nothing, his face was as cold as a machine, without any emotion, he rushed towards Yuan Qingshan's back again without hesitation.

Whiteside has been cooperating with Yuan Qingshan for a long time. When he saw him running to the basket in desperation, he knew that the ball had no idea, so he took off before the basketball flew.

The basketball is getting closer and closer to the basket, and the camera shows a close-up, and the trajectory is really wrong.

Then Whiteside needs to complete the lob before the ball starts to fall, or make a dunk after hitting the basket.

Duncan didn't jump in a hurry, but bowed his waist as if accumulating strength, calculating the distance and timing in his mind.

The basketball began to fall rapidly under the action of gravity, and Whiteside failed to catch the ball in time, and could only hope that he could dunk the ball in before his body hit the ground.

It's a pity that things backfired, he doesn't have the ability to stay in the air like Aaron Gordon.

Bang!
The basketball hit the front of the basket and flew towards the free throw line, just in time to meet Yuan Qingshan's figure.

"It's good that Qingshan has arrived." Whiteside was lucky.

Yuan Qingshan's heart tightened, he could see clearly that Duncan started.

Shi Buddha flicked his legs the moment Whiteside landed, and jumped up. Although the jump was not high, the timing was perfect, and he intercepted the ball halfway just right.

"Ah!" Whiteside exclaimed. In a flash of skill just now, he forgot to help Yuan Qingshan block Duncan's position. After missing Aldridge, he made another mistake.

Duncan grabbed the ball in front of his chest with both hands and tapped it hard, making a crisp sound. The microphone on the backboard clearly transmitted the sound to every corner of the Staples Center through loudspeakers.

Tim Duncan is swearing the sovereignty of the Spurs airspace!

"Don't be dumb!" Popovich yelled, rounding his arms.

Poor Duncan was handsome for only three seconds. After glancing at the frontcourt, he swung his long arm and threw the ball out.

Yuan Qingshan turned around and wanted to chase Leonard, but found that Kobe had already defended him.

"Fortunately, Kobe took care of me." Yuan Qingshan just breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt something was wrong.

Kobe is going to defend Leonard, so who is Mills defending?
Leonard jumped high to receive a pass from Duncan, then tossed it upfield in the air.

Setter style air pass.

The unguarded Mills just ran under the Lakers basket at this time, and after receiving the ball, he easily advanced the ball.

"Huh, it's pretty clever." Popovich complained.

The fans near the Lakers' backcourt hugged their heads in despair. They thought the home team could score the goal, but unexpectedly, the opponent made a clean defensive counterattack.

Van Gundy: "In the face of Kobe's defense, Leonard acted as a setter. I feel that Popovich did not give him the offensive burden tonight."

Reggie Miller: "Yes, the Spurs have too many players. Although Manu Ginobili can't play because of a back injury, they still have David West, Kevin Martin and Rasu Butler. Although these are all veterans, it's okay to play for a few minutes."

The three people he mentioned are all good offensive players, so the Lakers' defense has to face tests throughout the game, and they can't relax for a moment.

Duncan, Leonard and Mills completed a beautiful defensive counterattack together, but they were not happy at all from the expressions, and there was not even a high-five celebration.

This group really looks like well-trained soldiers, no, it's more like a group of robots.

Aren't they repressed?Downs was puzzled.

As a surprise soldier, Mills interfered with Yuan Qingshan's rhythm very well.

Yuan Qingshan really wanted to attack him, but he was always destroyed by Danny Green and Leonard.

The Spurs' forward and guard swingman is too defensive, and he is often held down after a rotation. Although the nominal starting number one has not been on the court, the defensive pressure is not great at all.

Scott now even suspects that Mills is an important chess piece that Popovich arranged in advance, specially changing ways to deal with Yuan Qingshan.

Reggie Miller saw something: "Coach Popovich is hiding Tony Parker?"

When Van Gundy mentioned it, he seemed to understand: "That's right, Manu Ginobili can't play tonight. Someone needs to step up from the bench to lead the second team, so Parker is a fake starter. Mills was originally prepared for Yuan Qingshan!"

Reggie Miller: "What if the Lakers replace Yuan Qingshan now? Let him play in the same time slot as Parker."

Van Gundy shook his head: "You underestimate Mills too much. Except for Yuan Qingshan, no one on the Lakers can restrain him at the first position. If he comes off the bench, Mills will definitely shoot away."

Indeed, as Van Gundy said, if Scott replaces Huertas at this time, it will help the Spurs liberate another strong point.

but.

Yuan Qingshan's physical fitness is limited, he can't play the full 48 minutes, and the first position must have a rotation.

This game is indeed the most important, and that does not mean that Yuan Qingshan's body can be overdrawn, otherwise the subsequent games will not be able to be played.

Coach Scott stood on the sidelines and rubbed his chin while staring at Popovich, imagining that if he had mind reading skills, he would be able to know what the old coach was thinking.

But then I thought about it again, so what if I knew it?The gap in lineup depth is too large, which cannot be made up by tactics.

Take the No. [-] position as an example. After analyzing and analyzing before the game, I feel that Yuan Qingshan and the old Parker have no problem, at least they will not be at a disadvantage.

However, he overlooked one point. Yuan Qingshan will not be at a disadvantage, which does not mean that the Lakers will be at the upper hand for the entire game at the No. [-] position.

Tony Parker and Mills are different from Westbrook or Wall. Their bodies don't seem to be very explosive, but they have a variety of offensive methods. You can't help defending against any point, so defending also consumes energy.

In the final analysis, the depth of the lineup is not enough. This biggest problem has plagued the Lakers since the start of the game. Now that the trade deadline has just passed, there is no chance to solve it.

And after Kobe retires, the Lakers may be completely reshuffled. It's hard to say how many of these people can keep.

"Oh." Scott couldn't help but sighed again when he thought of the future.
