This scene has happened countless times in the entire series.
The Nets' outside line was broken through, and Roy made up for the defense in the interior, sharing the pressure for his teammates.
Parker was very confident when he broke through, but when he faced Roy again, he still felt great pressure.
In the entire series, three-quarters of his blocks were thanks to Roy.
Fortunately, Parker himself did not want to force a layup. After the beautiful assist in the last round, he felt that assists were more effective than scoring himself.
At least on the psychological level, there was no pressure to leave it to fate after shooting.
Parker, who jumped first, dodged in the air under Roy's blockade.
The original layup was forced to be changed to a pass, twisting Roy's long arms and passing the ball to the outside in the direction of Duncan.
After Roy returned to defense, the Nets were ready to fill in for Roy.
After all, Parker's breakthrough and pass were not once or twice, and the continuous breakthroughs and passes had already sounded the alarm for the Nets.
As early as the last round, Kidd stole the ball from Duncan, which showed that the Nets were selectively limiting the Spurs' breakthrough tactics. When Duncan received the ball, he was immediately double-teamed by McGinnis and Lagabel. Although Duncan was not panicked by the double-team, the time for attack was limited. After several dodges, he still had no space to shoot. He could only pass the ball diagonally to Bowen. Bowen in the bottom corner was already open. As he was in the position he was best at, he raised his hand and shot a three-pointer. In fact, the Nets' defense is now all gambling, using oppressive defense to cause the opponent's mistakes, forcing the opponent's ball holder to be unable to attack directly and pass the ball out, gambling on the opponent's role players' ability to withstand pressure in this situation. "Ding"
It is obvious that luck is on the Nets' side.
Unguarded, Bowen made an adjustment to his three-pointer, but the ball still hit the basket.
The basket at the Nets' home court ruthlessly rejected the ball.
Roy blocked Duncan who was trying to grab the rebound under the basket, and reached out to grab the rebound from mid-air.
The Nets' defensive strategy was formulated by Coach Frank after absorbing the opinions and feedback of the players and his own observations.
The playoffs are the stage for stars, and the finals are a test of this.
Then in the last quarter of the last game, it is time to compete with the stars of each team.
The Spurs seem to be balanced inside and outside, but their two guards do not have the absolute hard power, such as Kobe Wade's strong hard-solving ability.
Maybe they can play a stronger role in the team, but the team can only rely on Duncan at the critical moment.
Although Ginobili is a big-hearted player, his physical fitness is there, and hard-hitting games are not his strong point.
On the whole, the Nets' fourth-quarter defensive arrangement is still effective.
Roy, who got the rebound, found Kidd immediately.
When the basketball was passed to Kidd, the other players on the Nets team had already started running.
In the high-intensity playoffs, each team has fewer opportunities for fast breaks, but the Nets are not one of them.
Fast breaks have always been the Nets' most powerful weapon.
Roy's block and defense, Kidd and Lagabel's long-range roaming, and Carter and McGinnis' good defense,
This naturally created the foundation for the Nets' fast breaks. After all, every successful defense will bring opportunities for fast breaks.
The time period when Kidd got the ball was definitely the fastest time period for all the Nets players.
Because everyone knows that,
As long as you run out of space, Kidd's pass will definitely reach you on time.
As long as you are ready to receive the ball, no matter which way, Kidd will always find a way to bypass the defender and let you receive the ball comfortably.
Historical point guards are so terrifying.
Kidd crossed the three-point line with the ball.
The Nets fast break lost Jefferson, and the three carriages became two. Carter went straight into the inside of the team like an arrow.
Following Behind him was McGinnis, with a distance between them.
To be safe, Parker and Ginobili teamed up to defend Carter, while Bowen blocked McGinnis's path in the middle distance.
Facing the opponent's active defense, Kidd did not blindly pass the ball easily, but passed the half court alone with the ball.
Unable to form a situation of more against fewer, he slowed down the pace and waited for subsequent resources.
At the same time, he passed the half court with Lagabel.
In the Spurs' half court, the Nets formed a 4-on-3 situation in a limited time.
KiddDe's pass found Raja Bell who had slipped to the baseline, and the Spurs had no time to care about him at that position.
Because Carter had jumped high near the basket, attracting the attention of all the Spurs,
At the same time, Ginobili also jumped up immediately, stretched his arms in the air to prepare for interception,
Raga Bell adjusted in the bottom corner, and Bowen gave up McGinnis at this time and rushed towards him,
Raga Bell, who was still adjusting, did not choose to shoot hard, but passed the ball to McGinnis,
McGinnis looked at Parker in front of him and immediately gave up the excitement of playing mahjong with four people under the basket,
The basketball turned around After a circle, it returned to Kidd's hands again. At this time, the two inside players of the Spurs defense had returned to their defensive positions. Even though Roy was running, Duncan still followed him closely and did not give him any chance. The only open space was left to Kidd. Faced with such a situation, Kidd no longer hesitated and glanced at the distance of the basket. After taking off, he shot smoothly. This time, his shooting hand shape was much better than the last hasty shot. They were all NBA players. There might be differences in the shooting under interference. However, in the case of open space, the shooting level of most people was at a very high level. Of course, this also included Kidd, and his shooting was no exception. "Shua" 84 to 91 The sound of the basketball passing through the net was particularly pleasant. This was the first time Kidd scored since he came on the court. Although it was just a mid-range shot, it gave him great confidence. The score between the two sides was once again narrowed. After the opening of the fourth quarter, the Nets were in the rhythm of chasing points. Kidd brought huge changes to the Nets.
While Roy was relieved, he began to have more energy to limit the Spurs' offense on the defensive end.
This is also an important reason why the Spurs' hit rate continued to decline in the fourth quarter.
Not only that, they also had to face a Roy who tried his best on the defensive end, which was absolutely a terrifying thing.
Especially the two small guards of the Spurs have average physical fitness,
Small forward Bowen has no ability to attack alone,
Veteran Horry is only deterrent on the outside,
The rest can only rely on Duncan alone. Although Duncan's hit rate is not low, it is impossible for Duncan alone to defeat the current Nets.
Popovich looked at the increasingly close score, and the team had reached the point where adjustments were needed.
After Kidd scored, he reached out and called a timeout.
The lead was 18 points, but now it was only 7 points, and the fourth quarter was only three minutes in.
This was definitely not the result he wanted, nor was it the result the Spurs players hoped for.
The Nets fought harder and harder, and the atmosphere at home became more and more enthusiastic, and they felt unstoppable.
This was also the reason why Popovich decisively called a timeout. He felt it was time to execute that tactic!
