I’m Really Playing Basketball

  Chapter 457 The sun has come out from the west!

  San Antonio AT&T Center Arena, the holy city is full tonight.

  Last season, the Spurs led a 2-0 lead in the Finals and were pulled for four consecutive games, eventually losing the NBA championship.

  After the miserable defeat last season, the confidence of the Spurs players and fans was not damaged.

  For Spurs fans, they have reached the finals at such a young age. Failure will not end, but only one set sail.

  So, when the players of the two teams warmed up and the starting players stood on the court in turn, the Spurs fans on the sidelines gave their warmest applause and cheers for their first journey of the season.

  The Spurs' starting players in this game are center Howard, power forward Luis Scola, small forward Bowen, shooting guard Ron Howard, and point guard are Arenas.

Although Howard performed extremely badly in last year's finals, he was rubbed on the ground by Yao Ming.

  But it was only ‘Spurs fans’ and ‘neutral fans’ on the Internet that crusade Howard, the real live Spurs fans did not crusade Howard, and even gave Howard great encouragement when Howard came out.

  Howard did not play well in the finals last season, but in addition to the finals last season, Howard did a great job all season last season.

  As a fan, you can't deny his hard work and talent for a season just because of his bad series.

  Howard is still one of the best young centers in the league.

  So, don't look at Howard was beaten by Yao Ming in the finals last season, but the Spurs rejected all trade applications during the offseason.

  Howard's position in the Spurs is very stable.

  So, compared with last season, the Spurs' starting lineup has not changed much.

  After all, this is a set of starters that have proven successful.

  On the other side, the Bobcats started the game with Bynum at center, Zach Randolph at power forward, Granger at small forward, Chen Xiao at shooting guard, and Chris Paul at point guard.

  Bynum made the starter, but other than that, the other positions have not changed much.

   Jordan promised Chen Xiao this season that he will try not to appear in the post again this season.

  Of course, the promise belongs to the promise. When the team needs it, it is definitely impossible for Chen Xiao to watch the team lose and not play inside.

Jordan’s promise can be seen as the regular season. The team will focus on training the team’s young insiders. Even if there are problems, try to use the team’s existing insiders to solve them instead of doing anything at every turn. All look for Chen Xiao.

  So, this season, Chen Xiao won’t press the nuclear button frequently.

Because the Bobcats now have Granger, Xiaopao and other good young people, the overall combat effectiveness of the Bobcats is up, and the Bobcats are more confident to let the young people of the team lead young people instead of pressing Chen Xiao. Nuclear button to compress the growth space of the team's young people.

  Faced with the current situation of the NBA getting stronger and stronger, both Chen Xiao and Jordan know that the Bobcats, like last season, left everything to Chen Xiao to do it, and it was impossible to go to the end.

  The Bobcats need to train more and more useful young players this season.

  The camera returned to the court again, looking at the Bobcats' two big and three small lineups, the Spurs coach Popovich frowned on the sidelines.

  For the Spurs, the Bobcats are a very difficult team to play.

  Bynum can face Howard's point, Randolph can also face Scola, and three outside lines, the Bobcats can also face the Spurs.

  The only real offensive strength for the Spurs is Arenas vs. Paul.

  Other points are not very good.

  And this is why he was so optimistic about the Bobcats last season.

  Because of these young people of Bobcats, they are really quite potential.

Many people said this season that the Nuggets who got Iverson were very strong, and the Raptors were very strong when they got O'Neal, but Popovich has always felt that the strongest team this season is the Magic, the Heat, and the closest to the Magic. The team with the Heat is not the Lakers, the Suns, the Raptors, or even the Spurs, but the Bobcats!

  For his judgment, Don Newman, the Spurs assistant coach next to him, found it quite incredible.

   Lynx?

  The third favorite in the league to win?

  Any higher than the Spurs?

  Are you kidding me?

  Of course, Popovich has always had a lot of amazing remarks about the Bobcats, so when Popovich talks about the Bobcats, many people think that they can be half-listen and half-believe, and don't have to take them all seriously.

   However, Don Newman feels that the Spurs' prospects for winning this season are not very good, but this is true.

  Because this season, Popovich is about to change his style with the Spurs.

  This season, the Spurs are going to play offense.

  Faced with Popovich’s transformation, Don Newman felt that the team did have some uncertain future.

  He is not sure if Popovich can play offensive basketball.

  Perhaps I felt Don Newman’s worry. On the court, Howard successfully jumped for the Spurs, and the Spurs won their first offensive opportunity in this game.

  After Howard jumped the ball successfully, Ron Howard, who held the ball, did not sit on the ground and play against the opponent like last season, but quickly drove the ball to the frontcourt.

  As the team’s leader, Howard has the right to play fast or slow on the court, so Chen Xiao and the Bobcats players did not think there was any problem with Ron Howard's push fast break.

  After all, there are two big men on my side, and pushing speed is a normal choice for opponents.

   But soon, Chen Xiao realized that things were not that simple.

Ron Howard, who dribbled the ball through halftime, didn't stick the ball, didn't have the luck like he used to, and then Kaka made a single shot. After the dribble to the three-point line, Ron Howard immediately hit Scola. After a match, the ball is handed over and the ball moves without the ball.

And Scola, who played with Ron Howard in the arc at the top of the three-point line, also did not dribble. After watching around for two laps, he directly hit the ball without dribbling and used Howard to screen and ran without the ball. Arenas came out to catch the ball.

  According to the general idea, when the tactics reach this level, Arenas can attack. After all, Arenas has already gotten the chance to play Paul in the wrong position with the help of screens and running positions.

  Paul used to defend Bowen's position.

   However, Arenas, who is very shocking, still has no offense!

  After shaking off the posted Paul, Arenas quickly returned the ball to Bowen, who was already completely empty, facing Granger who had come to help defend.

   Bowen, squatting in the bottom corner, received a pass from Arenas and dropped the knife in his hand to make a three-pointer!

   Bynum and Randolph, the two big insiders can't help out.

  This is beyond the three-point line!

  Even Duncan and Garnett are not easy to help defend in such a fast situation!

   "This, is this the Spurs offense?!"

   "The whole team moves, three screens, three passes, this is the Spurs offense?!"

  When Bowen hit the completely empty three-pointer, the audience in front of the TV was shocked.

  They were as shocked as Barkley Kenny Smith on the TV.

  The offense that the Spurs just made is really not the Spurs!

  This can be seen from the silence of the Spurs fans at the scene.

  Spurs fans did not expect their team to play such an offense.

  So, their cheers this time seemed to be delayed.

  The Spurs' offense is not the Spurs, but it can't be said that the Spurs have changed their style through a round of offense.

  This kind of passing, running, and coordinated style of play made Chen Xiao feel bright.

Even if Popovich and the Spurs did not intend to change their styles, this Spurs offense also showed everyone that Popovich is really **** offense, instead of giving all the offense to the players as before. The main focus is on defense.

  It can be seen that Popovich's offensive training is still capable.

  Last season, the Spurs, which has always played slowly, suddenly started to play faster this time.

  Last season, the Bobcats, who had always played fast and were one of the strongest offensive teams in the NBA, slowed down their first offense.

After Paul dribbled the ball for halftime, he looked at Bowen, who was attached to Chen Xiao like a dog-skin plaster. After being held by Bowen, Chen Xiao raised his hands to signal the cannon not to pass him, and the cannon faced Alina. After two dribbles on defense, he immediately called Bynum to come out for a pick-and-roll.

  In history, this season, the cannon is about to take off in the Hornets, taking Chandler and David West to play the pick and roll.

  Small Cannon is a very good pick and roll point guard.

With the help of Bynum's pick and roll, after Paul passed Arenas, he went straight to the basket. At this time, the Spurs' defense had two choices, either Howard and Arenas would switch defenses, Howard came to help defend Paul and Arenas Stuck Bynum.

   Either Howard continues to guard Bynum, Ron Howard retracts to block Paul, and the Spurs outside players take turns to defend.

  The first defensive option is easy to be hit by others in the air relay.

  So, in the NBA, most defensive teams will choose the second type.

  The defensive rotation of the outside line, this extremely tests the defensive ability of the players, and the outside players of the Spurs, everyone's defensive ability is not bad.

  Of course, no matter how strong your defensive ability is, there will be opportunities between your defenses.

  There is no way to do this, so this is a test of the ability of the organizer of the offensive team, whether it can find this gap.

  If Ron Howard and Arenas’s defense change is a textbook defensive rotation.

  There is no doubt that Xiao Pao’s pass is also at the textbook level.

  It was just a step and a half before Ron Howard started towards him. Before the second step, the small hand of the small gun shook, and the basketball flew towards Granger on the right three-point line.

  The moment Granger received the ball, it happened to be the most embarrassing moment for Ron Howard and Arenas.

  Ron Howard has been slow to come back, and Arenas has not arrived.

  Until Granger finished his shot, Arenas reluctantly rushed over and sealed it symbolically.

  Swipe!

  Granger’s three-pointer was almost half empty, and he made a steady hit!

  3 to 3!

  Just now, the Spurs fan who was crazy about the offense for the Spurs. At this time, seeing the offense of the Bobcats, there was a moment of silence.

  "It's quite exciting!

  Chris Paul’s assist is different from most of his assists last season! "

  If Xiaopao made most of his assists last season, Chen Xiao led him.

  So this time, it is definitely a performance of Xiao Pao’s personal organization and personal abilities.

  So, after Xiao Pao successfully organized the team to make such a beautiful offense, Chen Xiao was also happy to celebrate with Xiao Pao by high-fiving.

   "Nice organization and passing."

   "Thank you, Chen."

  Chen Xiao's admiration.

  Xiao Pao's expression of gratitude.

   And Jordan on the sidelines is also applauding the cannon.

  In the regular season of this season, the core organization of the Bobcats will be the small cannon.

  Chen Xiao’s personal abilities and threats are too strong. When Chen Xiao cooperates with his teammates, his teammates will subconsciously hit the ball into Chen Xiao’s hands.

  This is a recognition of Chen Xiao's personal ability, and it is also a dependence on Chen Xiao.

  Such dependence will hinder the team's tactical system.

  Why did Kobe and Adu singles hurt the team in history?

This is how    came.

  Even in the history of the Warriors of 17 and 18, especially the Warriors of 18, Cole felt that all difficult **** should be given to Adu, and Curry and Buddha shouldn't throw those unreasonable difficult balls.

  Cole said this more than once.

  There is a player like Chen Xiao and Durant who can draw freely in one-on-one, and no matter how reasonable the draw is, not only the players will be dependent, but the coach is also like this.

  Seriously, before Adu came, Curry and Buddha both played like that, and they were able to make all kinds of unreasonable shots.

  Now you want us to hit all of these **** into Adu's hands. Seriously, this does hurt our self-esteem.

  Although we lost the finals because of the strong attack, you can't let us not attack.

  Kuri and Buddha are good people and didn’t say anything.

  But Green was reluctant.

That’s why there was that round. Green didn’t pass Durant at the last moment. In the end, the team lost. Durant asked Green to reason why he didn’t pass the ball. Green replied: "Before you come, We are the championship!"

  This sentence is actually not only for himself, but also for Curry and Thompson.

Although your personal ability is the strongest, but I, Curry and Thompson, we won the championship without you, we are qualified to handle the ball at any time, we can do whatever we want, you don’t need you Agreed.

  The Bobcats certainly won’t show up in the Warriors’ later plot.

  But Chen Xiao and Jordan still have this understanding.

  After Chen Xiao’s madness last season, the Bobcats need to be weaned.

  Otherwise, Xiao Pao and Granger will stand still and eventually become role players next to Chen Xiao.

  Just like the warriors in history, Cole meant that he hoped that Curry and Buddha would become role players around Adu.

  Curry and Thompson have reached the peak of their strength, even if they are role players, their strength will not decline. They are also very strong and the strongest role players.

  But the small guns are not that strong yet.

  If the small guns, they would stop like this.

  That is the loss of Bobcat and Chen Xiao.

  Finally, they may eventually become role players next to Chen Xiao.

  However, that was after their strength was achieved.

  So ~www.NovelMTL.com~ This season's regular season is a season in which Chen Xiao cooperates with Jordan's group of teammates who are extremely dependent on him.

  Small Cannon has a good start.

On the court, the Spurs continued to attack. When the Spurs made their second offense, the Spurs still did not play the singles of Arenas and Ron Howard last season. The first and second figures of these two teams are still cooperating with the team's tactics. Chen Xiao and everyone were sure when they tried to make open shots for the team.

   "The Spurs really offensive this season!"

  At the same time, when the Bobcats attacked, Chen Xiao still did not force the ball under Bowen's desperate defense, and when he failed to touch the ball for two consecutive rounds, everyone was also sure.

   "The Bobcats really don't want to rely on Wonder Boy!"

  The Spurs attacked...

  The Bobcats don’t rely on Chen Xiao anymore...

  "Today's sun comes out from the west!"

  This match between the Spurs and the Bobcats is really shocking a bunch of glasses!
