The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 425 Rashad Lewis' Hesitation

Rashad Lewis only scored 2 points in this quarter. He had 3 shots and only made one goal. This kid’s mental quality is too average. After being blocked by Duncan in the third quarter, he didn’t dare to shoot. As a shooting player, the more he is like this, the more he has to shoot.

"Rashad, what are you thinking, Avery passed the ball to you, why don't you shoot, what are you afraid of, what are you afraid of, isn't shooting the only thing you can do?" Popovich was a little dissatisfied with Rashad Lewis. If it weren't for these two people, the game would have really taken off.

"I..." Faced with the head coach's scolding, Rashard Lewis didn't know what to say. Although this guy changed the trajectory of history because of Xiao Tian, ​​his style of play still hasn't changed much. The peak representative of a dubious player, after all, has a contract worth over [-] million yuan.The magician who chose him back then hoped that he could open up space for Howard on the perimeter. He didn't need him to do other things at all. For such a simple job, the Magic management was willing to pay such a high salary. Thinking about why O'Neal left Orlando back then, you will feel that the brain circuit of the Magic management must be different from ordinary people.

This guy is middle-class, and the 3 million contract is indeed a bit of a premium, because his personal defensive ability is too rubbish. There are no more than 40 people who have become superstars without defensive ability, and those people have a long peak period.

In fact, the reason why Lewis’s peak period is so short is his personality. This guy’s personality is very soft, and this kind of person is almost difficult to play in adversity. This is the difference between him and Hamilton, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen and other players of the same type.

In fact, the most fundamental reason is that Popovich has too high expectations for him. He hopes that Rashad Lewis will become the second Elvin Hayes, or Larry Bird, because Lewis, like those two, is more than two meters tall and shoots accurately.

Lewis didn't speak, and Popovich sighed. If Lewis could refute himself, it means that this kid still has some personality. Those guys with distinctive characteristics in the NBA are easy to play, and Lewis's meek personality, I don't like it.

"Malick, you go, you try to limit Tim Duncan and don't let this guy continue to score. If you can, Tracy, you can also help Avery and the two defend heaven."

Although the score was not greatly stretched, it was still behind. This made the Spurs very uncomfortable. They were suppressed throughout the game, which was a blow to morale.

In the fourth quarter, Xiao Tian didn't play, the substitute came out, and the Spurs had half of the starters. Except for David Robinson and Lewis, everyone else played.

Malik Rose was facing Jamison, which made Jamison very uncomfortable. Malik Rose had nothing else, but he really had strength. But fortunately, Thunder God and Death Light Gun on the outside were still very accurate.

McGrady is the scoring point in this lineup. Isaiah Ryder has nothing to do with his pull-up, but McGrady has nothing to do with the opponent. Although he has been training physically in the past two seasons, compared with Ryder, who is like the Mavericks, McGrady still needs to continue to exercise.

David Robinson has been paying attention to the score on the court. McGrady played well. He did not blindly solve the problem with the pull-up, because it was a big burden on his knee. He also passed the ball when he scored. In this round of the series, whether he wins or loses, McGrady has learned a lot.

The game has come to the last 7 minutes of the fourth quarter. David Robinson came on and replaced Will Perdo.

When Xiao Tian came up, the little general and Mario Alley were inseparable from him. Xiao Tian broke through the defense of these two guys relying on his speed and free physical strength, but there was still McGrady waiting for him in front of him. This time McGrady didn't spend much effort at all, and directly intercepted the ball. It was a dunk. McGrady's score had reached 18 points, and he had already scored 12 points in the second half. This guy is really scary.

Xiao Tian looked at the Spurs lineup, and McGrady was involved in defending himself, which meant that Popovich really wanted to win this game. If he won, it would definitely be a huge boost to the morale of the Spurs, but it would definitely be a blow to the Grizzlies. The next game will be their home court, which may cause the team to lose two games in a row.

Therefore, this kind of thing must not be allowed to happen. Xiao Tian still faced the pincer attack of two people, and still used his speed to pass between the two. Mai Di still stood on the same route, in the same position, with the same technique, but this time it was not a steal, because the moment Mai Di stretched out his hand, Xiao Tian's right hand shook, and the ball flew to his left hand. Mai Di was stunned, and Xiao Tian shot directly in front of him. , but still could not prevent the ball from flying into the net, 2+1, at the critical moment when the Spurs were chasing points, Xiao Tian gave the Spurs a fatal blow again.

This was McGrady's second foul. The Spurs' offensive ball was in the hands of the Admiral. Handing the ball to the most stable point is the only key to victory for the Spurs. In terms of winning methods, the Grizzlies have two or three methods, while the Spurs only have one. This is the most essential difference between the two teams.
