Versatile Point Forward

Chapter 235 Ginobili!

After the game officially started, the Blazers still had the ball in the first round, and Miller handed the ball to Ye Feng without hesitation.However, Ye Feng found that the Spurs' defensive strategy had changed. Although they were still playing the game, this time they played a more three-dimensional and more layered defense.When he broke through with the ball, first Jefferson, then McDyess, and finally Duncan, the three gates forced him to completely lose his speed, which was quite fatal for the assaulters.

In the absence of speed, Ye Feng's turn around is not that much of a threat, and what makes him feel depressed is that Jefferson and McDyess will not chase deeply, but simply delay his breakthrough, and in the end Still go back to the one-on-one with Duncan under the basket.After completing their tasks, they will automatically switch defenses with their teammates to defend players who are temporarily open, such as Aldridge and Camby.Compared with them, Jefferson and McDyess move faster, which makes the opportunity to pass the ball fleeting, while Ye Feng is in Duncan's defense. When he sees the open space of his teammates, the opponent It's back in place.

So this time breaking through Ye Feng felt very awkward. He had to admit that he had underestimated the tactical quality of this team, as well as Popovich's countermeasures in the series.In fact, this is Ye Feng's overconfidence. The Spurs have been one of the most stable teams in the league since the late 90s, and they have always maintained a strong competitiveness no matter what time they are.And Popovich can be called one of the top coaches in the league. His control of the team, tactical arrangements, and ability to turn decay into magic are second to none in the entire NBA. It is not difficult for him to adjust the defensive system internally.

Ye Feng, who was slowing down, was like a toothless tiger. His layup was easily caught by Duncan, and a relaxed and freehand nail plate made the Blazers' attack come back in vain.The Spurs kicked off from the backcourt, and Hill took the ball unhurriedly across the half court, and then handed it directly to Ginobili, who was standing at a 45-degree angle on the left.Roy, who was in charge of defending the Argentine, tensed his nerves instantly. The core of Argentina's golden generation is not easy to deal with.Ginobili didn't care about Roy's reaction. He stepped back directly after changing directions in front of him continuously, and threw the ball one meter away from the three-point line.

Roy was a little annoyed. He didn't expect Ginobili to play this trick in such a critical playoff game, but the ball had already been thrown, and he didn't even touch the ball. He could only pray that the ball would not go in. .But obviously God didn't hear his prayer, the basketball drew a perfect arc, and got into the basket with a "swish", which was still hollow.The three-pointer is not a big difference, but it is not a good thing for Ginobili to open his mouth so early on the outside.

In fact, among the GDP trio, Ginobili is the one who plays the most unreasonable cards.Needless to say, Duncan is a taciturn character, and he studied psychology at Wake Forest University. He has done a very good job in terms of tactical execution and control of his emotions.Although Parker had various problems when he first joined the Spurs, under Popovich's individual teaching, the French sports car also installed brakes on himself, knowing when he should do it.Ginobili is the only exception, and his style of play seems out of tune with this team.

Perhaps because he comes from passionate, freewheeling South America, Ginobili often left Popovich scratching his head with his behavior on the court. He is the kind of player that coaches love to hate.He can drag the team into the abyss because of unconstrained passing or unimaginable shooting, and he can also save the team from fire and water in the same way, so he is a double-edged sword, always walking on the edge of the tactical system, Occasionally play some rounds that even Popovich can't bear, of course, for the team, as long as they can score goals, for example, the three-pointer just now is like this.

Ginobili fired the hu, but Ye Feng felt very upset, because he has no good way to deal with the Spurs' defense for the time being, and it is difficult for him to make his passing keep up with his teammates' rhythm, after all, he is not Nash And a pure master of organization like Kidd.In desperation, he could only signal Miller and Roy to attack with the ball in turn, while he waited for the opportunity.Obviously, the Spurs' three-dimensional defense is only aimed at Ye Feng. When Miller and Roy break through with the ball, they will switch to conventional defense.However, even the Spurs' conventional defense is still synonymous with strength. The Blazers' scoring has become a bit difficult, and the players have to consume more energy every time they attack.

On the other hand, Ginobili continued his unreasonable style of play, with serpentine breakthroughs, European steps and retreating three-pointers in turn, making the Blazers miserable both inside and outside.Popovich also frowned a little on the sidelines, but it was obvious that Ginobili was hilarious, and he didn't look at his expression at all, but seeing the Spurs' firm advantage, the old man sighed and decided to let it go up.

The Blazers are not afraid of star singles, but Ginobili's offense with the ball is a bit different from other superstars, which is a very strange feeling.If the ball-holding attack of other stars is an upright sword, then Ginobili is a dagger that comes out of nowhere and stabs you. An elusive presence.However, just when the Spurs were about to widen the point difference to double digits, Aldridge stepped up and scored 5 points in a row, helping the Blazers to stabilize their position and stopping the Spurs' momentum.

Because of the existence of Roy and Ye Feng, the Blazers' offensive focus is generally on the outside, making opponents subconsciously ignore that Aldridge is also an excellent insider who is constantly becoming mature and powerful.Maybe his rebounding ability is not that strong, but his jump shot is the best in the league and an important offensive end point for the Blazers.However, Aldridge's two-pointers are still not as good as Ginobili's crazy three-pointers, and with Duncan and McDyess watching from the sidelines, his jumper shooting percentage may not be comparable to Ginobili's. Profitable long shot.

Looking at the situation on the field that was close to getting out of control, McMillan frowned. He didn't expect Ginobili, who was not warm in the last game, to suddenly become the vanguard of the Spurs, and it seemed that his scoring momentum had already become a little bit. I can't hold it anymore, so what should the Blazers do now?
