The game seemed to be going in a bad direction.

After Kidd left the court, he only lasted two balls. After the experienced Popovich adjusted the tactics, the Nets seemed to not know how to play.

At this time, Roy knew that he could only rely on himself.

It was obvious that Carter was not in good shape today. His consecutive singles were unsuccessful. Under the repeated attacks, even his self-confidence was a problem.

Roy received the ball from the baseline and carried the ball through the half court alone.

The Spurs knew that this was a signal that Roy wanted to attack by himself.

Popovich was quite helpless about Roy's offense. The rich offensive means always made the Spurs unable to defend.

Fortunately, the other players of the Nets were obviously affected after Kidd left the court, and the smoothness of the whole team's operation had problems.

At present, the difference between the two teams is still small. Roy can only hope that he and his teammates can wake up as soon as possible.

The Spurs' defensive tactics at this time are still man-to-man defense.

Duncan is already standing on the three-point line waiting.

Roy looked at the Spurs' defensive arrangement. Unlike Carter, he insisted on using up the offensive time, leaving too little room for error for the team or others.

Seizing the moment when McGinnis and Jefferson cut to attract attention, he started a breakthrough.

Because he was far outside the three-point line, Duncan could not get too close, and Roy had a lot of room to break through.

Unlike Carter's combination of strength and speed, Roy relied on the stride and agility brought by his long legs when breaking through.

He could also easily find a gap to enter the opponent's inside line while rushing in front of Duncan.

Duncan was very depressed. He found that he was not good at playing against Roy or Carter had no good solution.

The Spurs had already made defensive arrangements for Roy, who had a strong impact, under Popovich's instruction.

While Roy passed Duncan, Horry was ready in the mid-range position.

He opened his hands to block Roy's way.

When Roy passed the free throw line, Ginobili and Parker on both sides closed the door to block his way.

The Spurs used Carter's closing tactics on Roy this time.

Roy was mentally prepared, after all, Carter's experience was right in front of him.

I thought my treatment should be similar to Carter's, with at most 2-3 people double-teaming.

I didn't expect the Spurs to do so well. With Duncan behind him, they actually sent 4 people to encircle me.

Such a strong defensive force can be described as crazy.

The Spurs also fought hard to target Roy.

Popovich smiled when he saw Roy surrounded in the center of the court.

This was the gift that he had specially prepared for Roy after Kidd was injured.

Popovich was confident that even Michael Jordan at his peak would have difficulty dealing with this kind of siege,

leaving Roy no room to play.

People were surrounding him tighter and tighter, forcing Roy to make mistakes. Duncan and Horry of the other side raised their arms high, and Ginobili and Parker below slapped the basketball in Roy's hand.

Roy had no choice but to hold the basketball in his arms horizontally with both hands and showed his elbow.

The elbow swung around, and the Spurs defender subconsciously stepped back and left a certain space.

After all, no one wanted their nose or chin to be broken inexplicably, which also gave the opportunity to pass the ball.

Roy knew that it was impossible to attack inwards.

If he forced a shot, it was conceivable that he would be hit by the opponent's layers of wrapping.

Looking around, Carter, the only player he could trust, was being entangled by Bowen.

Although other role players had open positions, they were not too close to the basket, let alone the chance to attack the basket directly.

Roy saw McGinnis, whom he trusted the most, and threw the ball to him with both hands.

McGinnis had never expected Roy to pass the ball to him. At this time, he was standing one step inside the three-point line in the bottom corner.

When Roy's ball was given to him, McGinnis no longer had much room to think.

Seeing the opponent switch to defend Ginobili and rushing from a distance, McGinnis did not dare to delay any longer.

He had to seize the opportunity to shoot in the open position. After taking a look at the basket,

he took a step back, with both feet out of the three-point line, and stood up to jump before Ginobili rushed over.

The basketball shot was very good, and the arc was fine.

Roy was surrounded by three people, watching the basketball fly to the basket, and he felt relieved.

The flight trajectory of the three-pointer didn't seem to be a big problem for him. As a shooter and the new three-point king in the league, he had a deep study of the parabola of basketball.

"Bang"

The unexpected happened, and the confident three-pointer still made Roy fail.Looking,

The basketball that was bound to go in took a bath in the basket and swam out again, which made Roy almost vomit blood.

Judging from the distance of the bounce, Roy realized that he should have used a little more force when shooting, and the worst result still happened.

The basketball bounced very far, and Parker, who happened to turn his back to look at the basket, picked up the flying rebound.

Parker, who got the ball, advanced quickly, and the offense and defense of the two teams changed instantly.

Parker rushed towards the Nets with all his strength.

As Parker's main defensive target, Lagabell followed him at the first time.

Lagabell's performance on the defensive end in this game was quite excellent, and he made him suffer many setbacks in the defense against Parker.

This also reduced the pressure on the Nets on the defensive end.

Several successful defenses gave him greater confidence to suppress Parker's offense.

The two were particularly jealous in this game.

Parker had been bullied too badly before, and the suppressed anger in his heart, now he had the opportunity to take revenge, naturally dribbled hard and rushed forward.

Originally, Parker was faster, but Lagabel's interference made the two almost the same speed, creating a parallel situation.

First rushed through half court, then crossed the three-point line, the two competed with each other,

Although Lagabel's physical fitness was much stronger than Parker, Parker's flexibility was by no means comparable to him,

The two entered the inside at the same time, Parker gritted his teeth and jumped against Lagabel's body,

Lagabel would naturally not be willing to lag behind, and also jumped high.

The two moved from the competition on the ground to mid-air,

Parker dodged Lagabel's arm in the air, looking for an opportunity to attack the basket,

Because the two were in a parallel state, Lagabel was on Parker's right and could not defend Parker's left hand,

When Parker transferred the ball from his arms to his left hand to prepare for a layup,

Lagabel saw the opportunity and did not hesitate to slap the basketball in Parker's arms,

Parker probably knew that the opponent would cut the basketball in his hand, and slightly shifted the direction of the basketball hidden in his arms,

causing Lagabel to The hand of the cutter hit Parker's arm, and Parker screamed in the air.

The referee's whistle sounded,

"Beep"

The basketball in Parker's hand was not knocked away, but he threw it to the basket ring and completed the layup.

The basketball rubbed against the backboard and fell into the basket ring.

"2+1"

Parker made the free throw amid the boos of everyone at the Nets home court.

With 4 minutes left in the game and about to end, he once again took a 7-point lead. Kidd, who was still holding his ankle off the court, felt very disappointed.
