NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

The Nets had the ball, Carter passed the half court with the ball, and the person defending him was replaced by Bowen again.

Carter was helpless about this tough old opponent.

Bowen, who was like a dog-skin plaster, was the nightmare of almost every shooting guard.

It was not because his defense was too good, but because of his tireless harassment and close-range balls.

And his dirty fouls were despised by everyone, and there was no good way to deal with him.

Just after halftime, Bowen quickly stuck to Carter.

Carter had long been accustomed to this annoying style during the confrontation between the two.

The only thing he was not used to was that during the breakthrough, Bowen would occasionally stretch out his black feet,

While people were frightened, they could not defend themselves.

When he protested to the referee, he would show an innocent expression again.

The referee was helpless because there was no rule that it was a foul to block the opponent's attack with your feet one step ahead.

Stretching your feet and waiting in front is different from stepping on the opponent's feet, but when breaking through, it is very likely that the opponent's feet will be stepped on because of his movement.

Carter had to be nervous every time he broke through, after all, the shadow caused by the past was too painful.

Fortunately, Bowen's pure speed is not fast, his strength is that his lateral speed is very flexible,

Carter's quick first step and strong body can still kill a bloody way on Bowen.

While accelerating the breakthrough, Carter used his body to push Bowen's defense.

However, after Kidd left the court, the Spurs' attention to Carter's defense rose to a higher level.

Just after squeezing Bowen away, before he got out of position, Ginobili, who was not far away, had already stretched out his hand to block his breakthrough.

The high-intensity double-team made Carter a little embarrassed, although he still had the intention to break through at this time.

But seeing Horry waiting for him under the basket, Carter knew that even if he squeezed through, he would not get any benefit under the three-man double-team.

Lagabell on the other side waved to him, indicating that there was an opportunity on the three-point line.

Carter did not give him the ball. At the critical moment of the game, role players cannot attack at will. The ball must be given to those who are more confident.

Fortunately, at this time, Roy stretched out his hand to him, and Carter took another step forward.

Before the opponent's three-man encirclement was formed, the ball was passed to Roy near the free throw line.

Duncan failed to block Carter's pass, so he turned to get close to Roy as soon as possible.

Duncan, who had learned from Roy's long-distance breakthrough, knew clearly that there was a huge gap between his speed and his.

He couldn't give Roy the distance to start the attack, otherwise Roy himself would find it difficult to cope with the speed.

Facing Duncan's change in defensive strategy, Roy had expected it.

This situation did not happen once or twice.

It's just that in the previous games, Roy rarely used a one-sided breakthrough to deal with Duncan's defense.

Without the chance to attack the basket, Roy chose to face the basket and play one-on-one.

While dribbling against Duncan, he dribbled with his right hand, resisting Duncan's defense and the push from Duncan's hand on his waist.

He used his own weight to put pressure on the Spurs' inside line step by step, and struggled from the free throw line.

He slowly pushed Duncan to move diagonally downward at a 0-degree angle.

Duncan's defense was squeezed by Roy's body, giving him a certain offensive space.

Roy stepped up his pace and moved two steps inward. The two of them kept fighting near the baseline.

Due to Roy's resolute breakthrough, Duncan's center of gravity kept shifting to the right.

Every time Duncan followed Roy, he tried to lean to the right. While his pace was not fast enough, He needed to predict Roy's movement in advance.

When he was about to reach the baseline, Roy suddenly stopped.

Although he was mentally prepared for Roy's sudden stop and retreat,

Duncan's body center of gravity had been on the right side, and he was half a beat slower when he stopped.

There was no time to pull back, which made him completely unable to jump.

Roy took this opportunity to step back and make a jump shot.

Duncan could only stretch his arms to interfere with Roy's face, trying to cover Roy's eyes with his palms to put pressure on the shot.

But everything he did was useless.

Roy's bounce was far beyond the range that Duncan's arm could interfere with, and he made a mid-range fadeaway jump shot without interference.

95 to 95

The offensive methods of both sides have been mastered clearly by now.

For Duncan and Roy, on the offensive end, as long as they play their best, it is difficult for both sides to defend each other.

In the case of mutual explosion on offense, they rely more on teammates.

The well-organized MaThe Spurs obviously have a greater advantage in this regard.

With Kidd's hasty exit, Carter also failed to break through the Spurs' barrier.

The result is that the Nets' offensive pressure is now all on Roy's shoulders.

Ginobili quickly served the ball and it reached Parker's hands.

After Parker got the ball, he quickly advanced with the ball under his instruction and passed directly through the Nets' half court.

Roy, who had just scored a goal, didn't even have time to celebrate and was forced to engage in defense.

When Parker faced Lagabel's defense again, Parker tried a little and then passed the ball back to Ginobili who passed through the half court.

It's not that he didn't want to take revenge on Lagabel, but the head coach Popovich had already given him a stern warning off the court.

Besides, he couldn't act on impulse at this time. The two teams were now competing for the success rate.

Ginobili dribbled the ball and calmly observed the Nets' position.

Horry at the bottom line appeared outside the three-point line again to set a pick-and-roll screen.

After the screen, Ginobili did not break through to the inside, but turned around and passed the ball to Horry.

Ginobili let Horry transfer and pass the ball to Duncan by passing inside.

Because the Nets' defense against Duncan was getting tighter at this time, Roy's half-circling forward made it difficult for Ginobili to pass the ball directly to Duncan.

Just when Horry faced Jefferson, his size advantage allowed him to easily dribble the ball twice, squeezed out the space and passed the ball to Duncan.

At the same time, Ginobili did not stop in place, cut back and ran away from McKinnie. S cut inside,

When Duncan received the ball, Ginobili's cut was already in place, and a side-hit ball,

The basketball was successfully handed to Ginobili,

This ball was a bit like the shadow of a triangle attack, from the outside to the inside, and then from the inside to another main attacker,

Even if McGuinness was more vigilant, he still had no way to deal with Ginobili's cut after the screen,

Duncan's ground pass was just right, directly penetrating the Nets' defense,

The empty inside gave Ginobili a good opportunity, although McGuinness tried his best to block it,

But Ginobili, who got the ball first, calmly dodged the gap, used his right hand to switch to a left-handed layup, and helped the Spurs get two points again.

95:97

The Argentine and Duncan's cooperation power reappeared. The tacit understanding between the two made the Spurs' offensive rotation so smooth.

For the Spurs' pick-and-roll and empty cuts, the Nets must concentrate more on the team. The situation of no one defending in the interior just now must be avoided.

Roy knew that he could not devote all his energy to the offense.

On the defensive end, he still had to fill the holes for his teammates and put more pressure on the Spurs' small players.

But the premise is that while he made up for himself, his teammates must stabilize behind him.
