The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 423 The Lonely Admiral

Xiao Tian is a bug on the field. His style of play is a bit like George Mikan and Chamberlain in ancient times, but those two are insiders. Point guards are so dominant, which is very rare in the history of point guards. Magic Johnson has dominance, but his dominance lies more in his comprehensiveness, and the opponent's three-point shooting rate is very average, which can be regarded as a weakness. But Xiao Tian, ​​from the current point of view, he is really a perfect point guard. The decisiveness of carrying the team on his shoulders at all times, as well as the miraculous shooting, if there is any weakness in him, it is his breakthrough. Compared with last season, Xiao Tian's breakthrough this season has been greatly improved.

But it’s still not enough, at least compared to the people in the league who rely on breakthroughs, this guy’s breakthroughs are just a means, and he’s not that proficient.

Popovich thought, Xiao Tian once again passed the opponent in the face of the little general, and McGrady came over. McGrady has not fouled a single time so far, this is what he relies on.

But Xiao Tian didn't fear him at all, he still shot, McGrady really went to block the ball, but this time McGrady didn't block the ball and touched Xiao Tian's arm, foul became an inevitable thing.

Xiao Tian walked to the free throw line. At this time, the score between the two sides was only 2 points. Although Duncan and Carter played well in the first quarter, it still affected him not to score a point. If a point guard does not have the ability to score, it is actually a very embarrassing existence in this era. If Popovich really continues to defend himself in the first quarter desperately, then the Spurs may not be able to win.

It's a pity that that kind of defense has invested too much in personnel, and Popovich is not the coach with five championships in the future. His coaching ability needs to be accumulated through the accumulation of games. After all, not everyone is Pat Riley and Steve Kerr. As soon as they enter the position of head coach, they will win the championship. Got it.

Xiao Tian made two free throws, and the Grizzlies' lead reached 4 points. David Robinson's face still looked abnormally old. Seeing David Robinson's face, Xiao Tian easily thought of a plant—the oak tree. Compared to Charles Oakley, David Robinson may be called the old oak tree more appropriately.

The Admiral still has a great advantage against Ben. His style of play just restrained Ben. This was the most uncomfortable thing for Ben. The center that Ben didn’t want to meet the most was Olajuwon and David Robinson.

The pace of the game is still very fast. This is because the Grizzlies are deliberately speeding up, because the Spurs are full of old players. Slowing down is what they want to see, but it is very unfriendly to the Grizzlies. As a point guard, how to control the pace of the court is also a science.

In terms of controlling the rhythm, the little general is undoubtedly far behind Xiao Tian, ​​which is also the key to measuring a point guard.

Xiao Tian sped up the tempo, which really caught the Spurs a little off guard. Carter was the one who benefited the most. In the second quarter, he was completely reduced to his own performance, with all kinds of dunks and flying dunks. The audience was dizzying. The entire Spurs' home court seemed to be reduced to the Grizzlies' home court. Looking at Carter, Peter Holt in the box had a different kind of brilliance.

"I heard that this guy is Tracy's cousin. Is there any way we can get him to the Spurs?" Peter Holt is a tractor businessman. He is very realistic. The Spurs want to win the championship without much investment. 1 million, that is to say, with the space of 1600 million, there is every chance to sign an O'Neal.

It is precisely because of this that Holt knows that it is unrealistic for the Spurs to spend money to win a championship. They can only put all their treasures on those rookies.

For example, Carter, the best rookie of this season, as McGrady's cousin, may not be as talented as that guy, but his body has no defects.

"It's probably difficult. I heard from other managers that the best rookie will go to Oakland next season. The Grizzlies got the pick this year from the Warriors."

Peter Holt stopped talking, and the second quarter ended with Carter's last dunk. In this quarter, Carter scored 8 points, and his personal score has reached 18 points. Xiao Tian only made 2 shots in this quarter, but sent 6 assists. The number of assists in the halftime reached 16. This offensive efficiency is a bit amazing.

Carter's outstanding performance made McGrady full of dissatisfaction. This cousin has always been inferior to him. This point is recognized in the entire Florida basketball circle.

"The coach is playing in the second half of the game, I'm going to play, I'm going to beat Vince."

McGrady's expression was very serious, but Popovich didn't speak. The Spurs trailed by 5 points at halftime. Although it was not much, the rhythm of the game was completely out of his side, which was the most troublesome.

David Robinson was just resting off the court. Although Daben couldn't do anything to him, that bastard still consumed more of his physical strength. Duncan also put a lot of pressure on him to help defend on the other side. It would be great if this facial paralysis was his teammate, so he would be much more relaxed.Although McGrady and Rashad Lewis are good, they have no way to help themselves at critical moments. David Robinson feels very lonely.
