Chapter 184

After finally making it to the second half of the first quarter, the closure and the curse have passed, and the Spurs also regained their momentum and made a comeback again.

The reason why Duncan can be called the number one power forward in history is not only because of his hard honor, Duncan's comprehensive skills are also the most outstanding existence among all power forwards. In addition to free throws, his other inside skills are all At the historical level, his high screen and support are even more known as textbooks. In the area before the three-point line and the free throw line, he can play various tricks for you.

In the previous five games, Duncan used his incomparable high screen skills to create countless goals for Feng Ling and Ding Jian.

Seeing that Duncan was in position, Feng Ling stepped through the Rockets' defensive area. After Yao Ming stepped forward to defend, he passed the ball behind his head to Duncan's hands.

And at this moment, Ding Jian suddenly rushed over from a diagonal, and made a circling screen cooperation with Duncan.

"Mutombo!"

Dugu let out a loud roar!
If it was a previous game, Dugu Ming would definitely be blocked by Duncan, and Ding Jian would use the speed of a cheetah to tear through the defense and enter the penalty area to catch the ball and dunk.

But now it's different. They have done countless defensive exercises against the Spurs' screen pick-and-roll tactics.

Mutombo didn't wait for Duguming's reminder, he had already filled in from the inside line in advance, he rushed to Ding Jian, blocked Ding Jian's breakthrough route with his strong chest, Ding Jian didn't expect that Mutombo would Using a delay strategy to deal with him, there was no time to slow down, and the bodies of the two collided together. Mutombo leaned back cleverly and fell to the ground. The referee's whistle sounded at the same time.

"Hit someone without the ball!"

The referee pushed forward with both palms, indicating an offensive foul.

Ding Jian was stunned, and raised his hand resentfully, thinking, this must be a lie, right?
Half a minute later, the Spurs attacked again. This time Ding Jian kept an eye out. He held the ball and stood half a meter away from the three-point line, calling for Duncan to come to the pick-and-roll.

"I opened up so much space, isn't Mutombo afraid to press forward? He just needs to go around, and I can pass him in one step!"

Ding Jian thought to himself, but a scene that surprised him happened immediately. Before Duncan came to cover for him, Mutombo had already rushed in front of him and firmly guarded his left side.

If it was a normal matchup and the defender was so close, Ding Jian could indeed take a step to the right to pass him, but the problem now is that Duncan is blocking there on his right.

He wanted to pass the ball to Duncan, but Dugu Ming forced him up again.

"No, I'm going to be double-teamed!"

Ding Jian's instinct was not good. He took a step back after dribbling to open up space and force to avoid being double-teamed. Shaked a shot, and ran to mark Duncan again.

This pick-and-roll tactic undoubtedly failed. Not only wasted five or six seconds of precious offensive time, but at the same time, because Ding Jian retreated, he also retreated to one meter away from the three-point line.

"time is limited!"

Ding Jian gritted his teeth and decided to make a bold move. He changed direction and moved the ball to the right, and rushed inward, but Dugu Ming followed suit without revealing any flaws. It was a difficult time. At this moment, Duncan adjusted his steps. Running to the right to cover, Ding Jian's eyes lit up.

Duncan's cover was really critical. Dugu Ming didn't even have to guard against the cover players who had appeared behind him. Under such high-speed movement, he would bump into Duncan in all likelihood and lose his defensive position.

But in an instant, a black shadow flew forward from behind Duncan, and Mutombo actually bypassed Duncan and stood in front of him.

Mutombo still did the same trick. He made a feint and destroyed Ding Jian's offensive opportunity, then ran to defend Duncan. At this time, Duguming had bypassed Duncan's cover and stood on Ding Jian's again. before.

The two attacks were blocked, Ding Jian vaguely felt that something was wrong, and was about to break through forcefully, when Duncan's deep voice came, "Don't stick the ball, pass it to Feng Ling!"

Ding Jian didn't dare to take it seriously. Although he is already a ball master, he is not at the same level as Duncan in court experience. He heard the news and passed the ball quickly. However, the court is changing rapidly. The opportunity to pass the ball was gone, and the day after tomorrow he rushed, intercepted the basketball halfway, and made a charge alone, dunking and scoring.

"Tim, you know what they play?"

Ding Jian had to ask Duncan for advice.

"This is a delay tactic." Duncan said briefly, "Mutombo's speed is too much faster than me. I am no longer suitable as a screener. Wait a minute and let Oberto do the screen."

Although Ding Jian didn't know it, Duncan knew in his heart that the most important thing in the big delay tactic is to have an inside line with extraordinary mobility. For example, Chasing Dream Green, Howard, and Griffin are all very good implementers of the big delay tactic.

That's why Duncan asked Oberto to cover, because Yao Ming didn't have such fast pace and enough physical strength.

"okay, I get it!"

Ding Jian was overjoyed when he received Duncan's reminder.

Sure enough, when Oberto mentioned the high post as a screen, Yao Ming did not choose to step forward and delay. Instead, he used the usual defensive routine of switching defenses as usual.

"Deng Daida really has two brushes."

Ding Jian couldn't help admiring him secretly. He lowered his center of gravity and prepared to use his speed to pass Yao Ming in one step, but he was surprised to find that Du Guming chased up from behind him and double-teamed him with Yao Ming.

"Do it! What are you trying to do?"

Ding Jian was actually not afraid of one-on-two, but that was too much physical effort, and the hit rate was not very high under high-intensity confrontation, and the most important thing was that he didn't know if Dugu Ming would use the deterrent soft armor.

"In this case……"

Ding Jian chose to pass the ball. Since he was double-teamed, someone must be in the open position.

Oberto received the ball, he was indeed in the open position, but he was too far away from the ring, which exceeded his shooting range, he hesitated for a while holding the ball, and still chose to shoot, the basketball crossed a flat The arc hit the front edge of the rim and hit the iron.

"Damn..."

Ding Jian shook his head helplessly, he realized that things were not that simple.

Rockets guys, they deliberately let Oberto go!
Oberto is a conscientious rebounder. He puts all his energy into the interior defense, and his scoring ability is naturally limited. The Spurs don't care about the lack of his offensive firepower. After all, the Spurs have many offensive points .

But I didn't expect that a player who was almost completely useless in the offensive system on weekdays has now become the Achilles' heel of the Spurs exposed to the large-delay defensive system!
