Healing Basketball

   Chapter 376 376. From the beginning to the end

It’s not that Duncan’s defense is not good, so someone else will perform the Eurostep. Under the same conditions, the second offense can dash to the basket without hindrance. In the face of Duncan’s defense this time, 99% of the time will be seriously disturbed, dare to say Can guarantee the success rate of the attack, it is Ginobili or Wade.

   But even for these two, it is difficult to end the offense with a dunk after such a European step change.

  Duncan is really good at defending this area!

   Even if Duncan can't take off and block, relying on his height to interfere with his wingspan, he can still have a huge impact on the opponent's take-off throw.

  Duncan thought he was defending himself, and there was a smile that was difficult for ordinary people to notice at the corners of his mouth.

  I didn't expect that the other party would be able to slam the buckle in such a situation!

   The warden of Ming Ming usually ends the offense with a layup when no one is at the basket...

   In the wild cheers of the fans, Liu Xiu gloriously retreated.

The talent of    copied characteristics is often more buggy than the characteristics of the copied object itself. With the bonus of 'snake step', Liu Xiu's European step can take off with all his strength when he takes off, including the third step to attack the frame! In addition to the bounce +3 and the bullet speed +3, there is the bonus of 'Xiaobawang's knee pads', the bullet speed soars to 92, and the bounce height of 89 gives Duncan a ruthless.

   Win the first attack at the start! And in such a way of scoring, the teammates were so excited when they ran back to the backcourt to give Liu Xiu a high five.

   Offense and defense transition, Spurs attack.

   Parker pressed his speed to the front court, waited patiently for the time to attack, and immediately accelerated the sprint and started to break through!

   He didn't believe that the second grader on the opposite side could stop him, he didn't believe it... Then his high-speed change of direction was stuck by Liu Xiu again!

   At this time, whenever Parker has a quick-stop mid-range shot or a three-pointer with one hand, he can get rid of the defense and complete the shot.

   But he doesn't have these abilities!

   Withdrawing and re-launching the attack and finding a partner is the best choice, but Parker doesn’t! He refused to accept it, and he pushed hard and was pushed all the way by Liu Xiu... In the middle distance of the left bottom line of the three-second zone, he turned around and made a strong shot... "Pop"... Rahim's big hat for defense!

  The ball was fanned into the audience seat to the left of the basket, causing bursts of exclamations.

   Even more surprised, the Spurs called a timeout!

  Although the next ball is still owned by the Spurs, because the Spurs didn't touch the frame, the Spurs had only 6 seconds left to attack. The timeout called the fans inexplicably.

  The Blazers players didn't know. So, when everyone walked to the bench, they looked at the warden subconsciously. The warden felt the doubts of his teammates and said, "I think the coach of the other team should want to scold the French sports car to vent his anger."

   Everyone turned their heads and saw that Popovich took two steps forward to meet Parker, and then pointed at Parker and cursed.

  I don't know why, but seeing this scene, the teammates just think that the warden seems to be very powerful, and his eyes are always sharp when it comes to these things.

   I even ignored the confusion about why the other party called a pause and the interruption of the rhythm by the other party's too abrupt pause.

   On the other hand, after Popovich scolded in a vent, he felt in a good mood - the way he learned from the teacher is good.

   And he is smarter than that teacher. He will always only stare at one person and scold him. He is not scolding the street, he is scolding things, and he can show that "I'm doing it for your own good" when scolding people.

   No, although Parker is not angry, he really did something wrong. He did not calmly execute tactics, which destroyed the team's offensive discipline, and self-blame prevailed.

   At this time, a hand was printed on Parker's head, and he felt the warmth of this world.

   But he still felt the slightest danger for some reason.

  …

   came back from a timeout, and neither team made any substitutions.

   The Spurs had the ball in the frontcourt. After Parker received the ball, as the Blazers expected, he handed the ball to Ginobili.

   Manu Ginobili had the ball and the other 9 players on the field were very focused.

   Manu Ginobili, who was in the second grade last season, has already begun to show his strength. This season has entered his peak period. After a third of the season has passed, he will be given a nickname - one person has the ball and nine people are afraid!

   The last player who was afraid of one person with the ball and nine people was called White Chocolate. When White Chocolate became a good point guard, Yaodao became another form of one person who was afraid of the ball and nine people.

"Manu Ginobili, 27 years old, 198 cm, 93 kg, SG/SF, ability rating 84(?), offense 87(?), defense 82, 3-pointer 80, mid-range shot 67, layup 95, Speed ​​91, strength 88, bounce 94, stamina 86... 29 minutes per game, 15.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.8 steals per game..."

   Looking at the data, Ginobili is comparable to Parker this season, and his physical strength has just reached the level where he can play the main force, which is a lot worse than Parker.

   But Liu Xiu's fear of Ginobili is much higher than that of a 22-year-old immature sports car!

   To put it simply, Ginobili was seen as an All-Star favorite when the All-Star voting started more than 20 games after the start of the season, while Parker was not.

   Liu Xiu was worried about the defense of the old gloves. On the other hand, Popovich and the rest of the Spurs were full of expectations for Ginobili.

  The Spurs are so stable that they have no ability to struggle even in the face of desperation. Now they finally have a variable - the demon knife Ginobili!

   Every time Ginobili, who was in his prime, made Popovich think of the high school student on the west coast who fascinated him.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yaodao, who received the ball, faced Payton's personal defense and immediately started a singles breakthrough. There was not much time for the attack... After reaching the free throw line, a two-point step back slammed into the basket with a 'bang'. superior.

  Rahim grabbed the ball to advance and counterattacked, and gave the ball to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu received the ball while moving, and Parker, who was chasing up, went to the basket and made a layup.

   Popovich almost spit out a mouthful of old blood: You are just like a god, do you want you to shoot like a god? Is CIC the right thing to do? You only made 51 mid-range shots last season, and you only made 15 mid-range shots this season, don't you know?

   So angry! The next pause has to scold Parker!

  …

   Parker couldn't move, the double-edged sword of the demon knife stabbed himself at the beginning tonight, and the Spurs entered a headwind situation at the start.

   At this time, we have to rely on Duncan.

  When the Spurs attacked, Duncan caught the ball low, took a step against Kwame Brown's defense, connected with a turn with a step back, feinted a shot and flew Kwame Brown, hook shot... Hit! 2 to 4, Duncan attacked decisively to help the Spurs stabilize the situation.

   This is absolutely amazing! After other players with top physical fitness suffered injuries that affected their athletic ability, they were unwilling to believe the facts. They were extremely confident or extremely afraid and had to prove that they did not decline in the game; and after Duncan confirmed the inevitable impact of the injury. , He found the trainer expressionlessly and began to adjust his style of play. Relying on solid basic skills, he turned into a floor flow in one summer.

   Against other players, it's hard to say which of Duncan's play was better last season or this season.

   But against Kwame Brown, after Duncan changed the floor, it was easier to deal with.

  Kwame Brown is also only a 22-year-old young man. It is very difficult to defend against players with physical fitness. It is still very difficult to defend against Gasol, Dirk Nowitzki and now Duncan.

   However, when the Spurs start and need Duncan to score to stabilize the situation, it means they are in trouble!

   Liu Xiu's opening button, Kwame Brown and Raheem blocked two shots at the start, and the Blazers' momentum was like a rainbow. Even if Duncan stabilized the situation, it couldn't suppress the Blazers' momentum.

  The Spurs are in a headwind. In this case, if Ginobili can't open, Popovich has only one way - to strengthen the defense and point to Duncan to withstand the opponent's impact.

   When the next dead ball came, Popovich replaced Ginobili to avoid the demon knife from continuing to kill himself, and replaced Brent Barry to enhance shooting stability, strengthen confrontation, and continue to improve defense.

   In a word, the Spurs’ strategy was very effective, the rhythm of the game was suppressed, and the attack success rate of the two teams began to decline.

   At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs clinched the score 21-24.

   But in the second quarter, the Trail Blazers scored 26-20 in a single quarter. At the end of the half, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs 50-41, widening the difference to 9 points!

The Spurs block three-pointers, protect the frame, and prevent flanking cuts... Even the corners on both sides are well defended. After all, the Spurs are the third-best team in the league in three-pointers from the bottom corners, second only to the Suns. team and the Sonics.

   But the mid-range shot is a hole in the Spurs' defense!

  The Blazers didn't have Kobe's mid-range one-on-one singles to overturn the Spurs alone, but the mid-range Spurs of Liu Xiu, Momo, and Randolph dared not take it lightly.

   With the restraint of three people playing in twos, Raheem, Outlaws, McDyess, Payton... and others received the ball in the middle distance and threw it very decisively.

   This is not a catch-up shot. The daring coach of the Blazers and the immature warden combined the tactics specially arranged by the guards and a few backups or veterans!

   The 9-point difference is really a big problem for the Spurs, but Popovich really has no other way but to point at Duncan and Ginobili.

He adjusted the defensive end properly. In the third quarter, the Spurs finally limited the Trail Blazers' score. The third quarter only allowed the Trail Blazers to score 19 points, but the Trail Blazers also played in a high confrontation. Not bad defense, the Spurs themselves only got 20 points.

   After three quarters, the score was 69 to 61, and the Trail Blazers maintained an 8-point lead into the final quarter!

In the third quarter, the Spurs actually created the conditions for a comeback for the stars in the team, but the stars they were counting on failed to soar. In the final quarter, they still created opportunities, but they still failed to soar... Tonight, Yaodao From start to finish!

   Manu Ginobili played 23 minutes tonight, made 1 of 8 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, plus 4 of 4 free throws, scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists.

   Relying on Liu Xiu's 22 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, the Trail Blazers won 93 to 86. For the first time in 5 seasons, they won the first match against the Spurs in the new season!
