I’m Really Playing Basketball

"This kid is not only fast, but also brave."

After being dunked by Dejounte Murray at the opening, Rogo did not have any change in mentality, but rather appreciated Murray.

As a historic defensive player, Roger, who is known as the perimeter Duncan, could be less likely to be a background board. If you want to be the best defensive player in history, you have to get used to being such a background board first.

No good defensive player is left unbalanced by one or two great performances by the offensive player.

So, seeing Luo Ge like this, Chen Xiao, who originally wanted to comfort Luo Ge, finally smiled and said to Luo Ge, "It seems that the Spurs have found their future."

Brother Luo nodded in agreement, with a smile on his face.

Although it is said that he has left the Spurs, as one of the two greatest players in the history of the Spurs, Rogo's sense of belonging to the Spurs is of course at the top level.

Let's just say, Roger has always felt guilty about leaving the Spurs.

Although it is said that the Spurs took the initiative to let him leave, but on the eve of the disintegration of the Spurs team, he did not integrate the team but left. This itself is not what he should do as a leader.

So, he's definitely the guy who wants the Spurs to rebuild right away.

It was the Warriors' turn to attack. Compared with the Spurs' fast break, the Warriors' offense was obviously not as fast-paced.

Of course, the Warriors' offense is not fast, but the offense is not slow. What does this mean?

This means that the Warriors' rhythm with the ball through half court is not fast, and they do not pursue fast breaks, but after half court, the Warriors attack very fast, because the Warriors' players are strong, many teams need to play an attack once. After playing for 24 seconds, I couldn't find a good chance, but the Warriors were different. After the Warriors passed halftime, Chen Xiao, Roger and Wade passed the ball casually, and a chance would appear.

This is why the Warriors seem to be out of rhythm, but they are the highest scoring team in the league. With 6 seconds off the dribble, 8 seconds on offense, and 14 seconds on a round, the Warriors can find an opportunity to complete the offensive round.

Don't think that 14 seconds to complete the attack is not very powerful.

Although D'Antoni's Menglong is known as a 7-second fast break, in the past, Menglong or the Suns in history, not every round was 7 seconds. In fact, facing a team with strong control ability, the Suns may not have 24 seconds. be able to find opportunities.

But the Warriors are different. The Warriors can find opportunities in about 14 seconds regardless of the opponent's defense.

This is great.

Otherwise, the Warriors game, there are not so many rounds in a game.

In the face of such a Warriors team, if you want the Warriors to show a slow heat, then you must not only press when the Warriors dribble through the half, but also press after the half, and you can't pinch, It can only be one-on-one to increase the strength and increase the confrontation.

This is actually very difficult.

This is also why many teams know the shortcomings of the Warriors, but can't grasp the reason.

The Spurs are definitely stronger than the average team. This team has two defensive gates, Howard and Leonard, respectively.

In addition, Gasol is the top player on the inside, and Dejounte Murray is very good on the outside, so even if Ding Yanyuhang has some defensive problems, it can be tolerated, because Ding Yanyuhang does not affect the Spurs against the Warriors. Play this pressing defense that disrupts the rhythm of the Warriors' offense.

Yes, the Spurs must press the entire court if they want to destroy the Warriors' 14-second offense, which is extremely unrestrained and unrestrained!

And it's a full-court press for the three Warriors' offensive cores, Chen Xiao, Wade and Ron Howard!

When Chen Xiao was outside, he handed Chen Xiao to Leonard to press him, and when Chen Xiao got inside, he handed him over to Big Gasol to mark and Howard to help defend.

Ron Howard was out and handed over to Dejounte Murray.

Wade was handed over to Ding Yanyuhang when he was outside.

When the Spurs came up, it was really quite fierce.

Whether it's Pop to prove himself with the Warriors, or the Spurs, they really want to gamble on this game.

Just obviously, for the Spurs, it should be said for the players in the entire league who want to beat the Warriors, they get to the playoffs, especially to the heavyweight playoff games of the Western Conference finals, they need to face. The Warriors are completely different from the regular season.

That is Chen Xiao's investment in the game.

During the regular season, Chen Xiao was actually letting his teammates and taking care of himself all the time. Even many times, Chen Xiao didn't play much, and his average playing time was even less than 35 minutes per game.

But in the heavyweight game of the playoffs, Chen Xiao can play 48 minutes.

In the first and fourth quarters of the regular season, Chen Xiao didn't exert much effort, but in such a heavyweight playoffs, how could Chen Xiao not be able to stop when the team was in trouble in the first and fourth quarters? work hard?

So, when the Spurs put on such a crazy gamble.

Chen Xiao knew at a glance how he should break the Spurs' defense in this game.

He doesn't have to go inside this game. Big Gasol is one of the most powerful players in the league at the power forward position, and Howard is one of the best players in the league's center position.

Although Chen Xiao's deep-dive against Howard in the regular season was very classic, it was actually a sneak attack. Howard didn't know that Chen Xiao was so powerful at that time.

But now, it is indeed a bit of a loss to continue to let Chen Xiao fight inside.

Therefore, Chen Xiao can completely pull it out.

Not only Chen Xiao pulled out, but Chen Xiao also signaled Jokic not to be contained inside, but also pulled out.

Chen Xiao, Jokic, Wade, Ron Howard, Klai Thompson, all five players pulled out to cooperate near the three-point line. This scene simply stunned Popovich off the court.

Originally, he thought that the perimeter was three-three, and the worst was three-on-four. There was no problem in letting go of Wade, who didn't shoot three-pointers.

I just didn't expect that the outside line is actually three-on-five!

This made Dejounte Murray and Ding Yanyuhang and Leonard instantly feel like they were caught in the ocean of the Warriors' people.

This is no joke. Of the five warriors, Wade is actually the best!

Obviously, it is not Jokic but Wade who is the point of restraint on the inside!

This is something Popovich didn't expect.

But after thinking about it a little bit, Wade is really more suitable than Jokic as a checkpoint on the inside.

Because Wade is still fast enough, and Ding Yanyuhang's defensive ability, let's just put it this way, if Wade wants to get rid of him, he doesn't even need a cover, he can get rid of Ding Yanyuhang at any time.

If Wade is on the outside again, Ding Yanyuhang can't prevent a breakthrough, but it's actually enough, and he can even help him a little bit.

But now, if Jokic is also pulled out, Howard and Big Gasol can't help to prevent Kick and let Jokic go.

Then Klai is freed.

Therefore, when the Warriors' formation on the court turns into Jokic and Wade protrudes in, Popovich on the sidelines can't be adjusted instantly.

In fact, it's not just Jokic, Kerr is actually a little bit out of control.

In the same sentence, Kerr is not the kind of coach who is very on-the-spot, and this on-the-spot change is of course not his inspiration.

This is entirely a temporary decision on the court by the Warriors players.

To be precise, it is the embodiment of Chen Xiao's game quotient. At a glance, the Spurs' mobility loopholes of the two big men can be seen.

As long as Chen Xiao and Jokic are pulled out, and then Luo Ge, Kelai and Wade move in layers, the Spurs can only be blinded.

At the speed of Big Gasol, if he dares to pull it out, the Spurs' defense will become a sieve.

If you don't pull it out, the Warriors' perimeter players, except Wade, Jokic, Chen Xiao, Ron Howard, and Kelai, all have a three-point shooting rate of more than 40%, which can also make the Spurs play hard.

And even if Howardella came out, it was five-on-four outside, so as long as there was a little screen, the Warriors would have a good three-point shooting opportunity.

It is said that this time, when Chen Xiao and Leonard were entangled on the outside, there was a confrontation, after Leonard resisted, followed by a cover with Jokic, and the opportunity for a three-pointer appeared immediately.

Then swipe!

The crisp sound of the three-pointer entering the net made all the Warriors fans on the scene go crazy.

And Leonard, who was resisted and blocked by Chen Xiao just now, was very depressed at this time.

Let's just put it this way, Chen Xiao's strength, he is simply a bug on the perimeter, Leonard is already considered a very strong perimeter, but against Chen Xiao, who can sink to the bottom of Howard's existence, Leonard still carries it. Do not move.

Originally, Chen Xiao's current burst of speed had dropped significantly compared to the peak. If he hadn't been carried, Leonard would definitely be able to entangle Chen Xiao on the outside.

Even if Jokic didn't block it after carrying it, Leonard felt that he could still be entangled with a little effort.

But now this one block, two fights directly stunned Leonard.

Therefore, after Chen Xiao hit the three-pointer, Kerr on the sidelines also stood up and applauded.

The cooperation between Chen Xiao and Jokic is amazing.

Let's just put it this way, Chen Xiao and Jokic's routine this time can be used against any team before encountering the Bucks and Cavaliers.

And it's a trump card.

Why don't you use it against the Cavaliers and Bucks?

Because the Cavaliers James and Oden can both be pulled out and retracted, Howard and Big Gasol are far less mobile than the interior combination of James and Oden.

As for the Bucks, that is simpler, because the five fronts of the Bucks can also be pulled out, and everyone's strength is not bad.

So, this is why the Warriors have always regarded the Cavaliers and Bucks as their biggest opponents.

Because in the entire league, these two teams really can stop the Warriors.

And the Cavaliers have now been eliminated by the Bobcats.

Therefore, the Bucks are the only ones who can restrain each other with the Warriors.

The Warriors certainly wouldn't dream that the Bobcats could keep the Bucks out of the Finals.

For the current Warriors, the most important thing now is to pass the Spurs.

As for the Bobcats and Bucks results, that's not something the Warriors need to consider right now.

On the court, the game continued. After Chen Xiao hit a three-pointer, Popovich was almost rushing to the court. Popovich, who stepped on the sideline, kept shouting to the Spurs players on the court to let them not care. The defense fails, the defense plays aggressively, and the offense plays speed.

For the Spurs, that's true.

However, it is not that easy to accomplish this idea.

It is said that Dejounte Murray, who is responsible for the Spurs' offense in this game.

In the opening fast break, he caught Luo Ge by surprise.

Now that Roger is ready, and the Warriors have scored, the Spurs have no chance to break fast. The Spurs are forced to fall into a positional war. After falling into a positional war, Dejounte Murray wants to blast Roger. easy.

It should be said to be very difficult.

Therefore, this game is best played by the Spurs who played a 7-second fast break, and were finally forced to the end, almost hitting a 24-second violation.

After Dejounte Murray's chug, he had no chance but to blame Leonard.

Fortunately, Leonard's offense in the playoffs this year is really good.

Facing Wade's defense, Leonard took advantage of his height to make a mid-range jumper.

5 to 3!

The Spurs continued to hold the lead after the opening game.

However, such a lead is not reliable, because then, Chen Xiao and Jokic repeated their old tricks, and once again beat Leonard.

Chen Xiao resisted, Jokic blocked, and then Leonard was tragic.

After Chen Xiao hit a three-pointer, the Warriors once again overtook the score.

6 to 5!

Big Gasol, UU reading www.uukanshu. com are you still out?

After Chen Xiao hit a three-pointer, he also looked at Big Gasol, who was on the free throw line to help defend Wade.

In the face of Chen Xiao's eyes and the Warriors' style of play, Rao is hesitant for an experienced veteran like Big Gasol.

If he really went out, he might be able to stop Chen Xiao.

However, after the inside line is fully exposed, it is really watching Wade layup!

So, are you watching Wade for a layup, or are you betting on Chen Xiao or someone else's three-pointer?

Big Gasol is actually a very headache.

But soon, Big Gasol no longer has a headache.

This is a question that Popovich needs to consider.

He is just a player. Since he is not as strong as Chen Xiao to solve problems on the court, then he should be a step-by-step tool person, a tool person without thinking, and there is no need to have such troubles on the court.

So, leave all your troubles to Bobo to handle.

So the question is, what is Bobo thinking now?

With such a difficult question, how would he choose?

This choice is too difficult.

But as Bobo, who hates three-pointers very much, his basketball philosophy tells him that three-pointers can't be sustained. He doesn't believe that a player can be so accurate when he shoots so many three-pointers. The problem, Bobo's choice is not unexpected.

I bet that Chen Xiao and the Warriors' three-pointers won't be so accurate!

Then…

In the first quarter, Chen Xiao scored 8 of 12 and 8 of 12 three-pointers, scoring 24 points in a single quarter!

So much so that the commentator Mai Zi, who was on the sidelines after the first half of the game, shouted in pain: "Tonight we saw how God played 2K!"

God hits 2K, and the whole network is instantly popular!
