Chapter 66 Defensive Dominance

Sure enough, although the first shot was Nowitzki, after Nowitzki missed the shot, Josh Howard grabbed the rebound, but Stephen missed it and was blocked by Josh Howard in advance. After Josh Howard grabbed the frontcourt rebound, he immediately started to play Stephen behind.

Josh Howard's stern moves were as if he was demonstrating Stephen. This time, Josh Howard turned two steps and turned around and made a backward jump shot. Mainly, Stephen retreated a little more for the sake of observation, giving Josh Howard room to take action.

It seems that if you want to prevent being beaten by a back, you must keep the distance well, that is, you cannot be too close, so that the opponent can get the space to cut in after turning around, and the distance cannot be too far, so that the opponent can shoot with confidence. Stephen used the idea of ​​a defensive player to figure out this back-to-back singles technique, which hits the point.

The previous process of singles on the back is basically the same. Dribbling the ball backwards, but the force cannot be used too much. If you use too much, there will be no force to be retracted. If the opponent suddenly retreats and you can't stand firmly, you will fall down. If the force is used less, you will not be able to achieve the effect of backwards. Therefore, when pressing backwards, you must retain three-point force to make seven-point force.

As for the offensive steps after the back pressure, there are many options, but if you turn around and jump shots like Josh Howard, you can also turn around and throw or layup, or turn around and continue to break into the basket and dunk, just like Stephen just did.

Stephen did not continue to test. This was the court, not the training ground, and he was not **Vic's illegitimate son. He would not indulge himself so much, so when he attacked again, Stephen started running according to the team's usual routine.

Who knew that coincidentally, Stephen just happened to slip through the bottom line and came out of the basket. Van Exel immediately passed the ball, and Josh Howard happened to be behind Stephen. Stephen couldn't help but not play back, so he immediately suppressed his body and continued his back-to-body singles training.

Josh Howard was extremely depressed. This guy kept using the tricks he had just used to deal with him. Is this a matter of bullying? So he used all his strength to push him behind Stephen without taking a step back. Stephen hit two shots and found that it was ineffective, and passed the ball to Van Exel on the outside. If he didn't dribble, Stephen could use all his strength to pile back. Howard was immediately pushed two steps.

Stephen continued to wave to ask for the ball, and Van Exel passed the ball in time again. Because the position was already very deep, Stephen immediately turned into a jump shot after receiving the ball, and his movements were basically exactly the same as Josh Howard. Josh Howard suddenly felt as if he was insulted and ran to Stephen angrily.

"What, I want to fight?" Before he could speak, Stephen clenched his fists at him, and his hands creaked. Of course, this action was a secret move, otherwise the referee would see it, which would have been a technical foul.

"Warring, will I fight with you be cheap?" Who knew that Josh Howard was not fooled at all. After taking a look at Stephen, he turned his head and left. He also figured it out that he was the main player of the Mavericks, and Stephen was a substitute among the substitutes. It was impossible to compete with him.

This was just a small episode. In the following game, the game returned to normal. Stephen did not continue to practice his back-to-body singles skills. Josh Howard did not force himself to take action. Even if he grabbed the rebound, he would hand the ball to Nowitzki to shoot.

In the second half of the second quarter, Nowitzki suddenly had a big explosion. After getting the ball, no matter who was on the court, he ignored everything. No matter whether it was two points or three points, he could make it. Stephen saw how awesome the shooting could be.

Seeing the Spurs' score gradually falling behind, **Vic began to switch the main lineups to the court one by one. Duncan replaced Robert Horry, Michael Finley replaced Brent Barry, and after playing for a while, Pany Parker replaced Van Exel. The main lineup was not only Ginobili and Bruce Bowen, but also returned to the court. As for the starting center Nestrovic, he was just the name of starting.

As soon as Michael Finley came on the court, he immediately won cheers from the fans all over the court, making the Mavericks boss Mark Cuban, who was sitting on the court, immediately turned red, which made him embarrassed. Nash was like this at that time, and Michael Finley was the same now. Don’t the fans know that with Nash and Finley’s age, it would be inappropriate to give a big contract. Just complaining about being ruthless and unrighteous, why don’t they take the initiative to lower their salary? It turns out that it’s not your money.

Finley secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes. He stayed here for nine seasons and left all his youth here. He spent more time at the American Airlines Center every day than at home. He thought he would be here to live his career, but he didn't expect that he would leave with the tail of his youth.

However, Michael Finley quickly returned to his calmness and fulfilled his duties as a professional player. Seeing Finley crying, Robert Horry was still there smiling heartlessly. He had three or four teams in his career, and except for the year in the Suns, he basically won the championship ring on that team. For ordinary people, his wandering career is a kind of wandering, and for him, it is just a colorful chapter of his wonderful process, which allows him to enjoy different scenery from all over the world.

Even if he replaced most of the main players, the Spurs still couldn't do anything to the touch Nowitzki, who had a must-win halo. Once a player like him made a shot, he would be completely unstoppable. Duncan was pulled out of the penalty area, and he still had no way to deal with him.

By the end of the first half, the Spurs had already been pulled down by double-digit gap. I can only hope that Nowitzki's touch would cool down during the halftime break. Mark Cuban was arrogant at this time and came out to pay the prizes to fans who watched the game on the spot.

In the second half, the Spurs launched a counterattack while Nowitzki was off the court. As a result, Devin Harris suddenly broke out again. Parker's speed was originally the first-class in the league, but he was even worse when facing Harris, especially when he just played back to back yesterday, Parker, who was slightly tired, could not keep up with the opponent's footsteps at all.

Could it be that he would lose in the opponent's hands today? **Vic was about to replace Stephen and replace Ginobili to enhance the team's offensive ability. Suddenly, Stephen took Van Horn's shot in the air, and then launched a three-line fast break with Tony Parker and Michael Finley, assisting Michael Finley to successfully make a layup and causing Devin Harris to foul.

When a player performs well, the coach generally won't replace him. On the one hand, this will be a great blow to the players' enthusiasm, and it will also be a blow to the team's morale and other players. In addition, since you play so well, why not replace him? There is no reason. Let's wait a while before changing.

Who knew that Stephen was like knowing that **Vic was going to replace him. He just completed a fast break and successfully stole from Marquez Daniels and assisted Duncan to score two points. When he came back, he defended Van Horn very well. Van Horn, who was 2.08 meters, was actually blocked by him again with a big hat.

In the blink of an eye, he returned five points. **Vicci immediately decided to wait and see. The team was rising. No coach would be foolish and lose his composure, let alone a scheming person like **Vicci, so the original substitution was naturally a womb.

Stephen's crazy performance did not end here. Although **Vic had decided to continue to keep him on the court, he suddenly used Mohamed to block Van Horn during the run, and then received a pass from Duncan directly below the basket, and then jumped gently and sent the basket into the basket, light without any fireworks.

Stephen's offense continued. After O'Neal's travel east, he claimed to be the "No. 1 center in the West" Danpier made a foolproof layup under the basket, and the rebound was snatched by Stephen, who rushed over from the free throw line. When Danpier saw that the rebound was snatched by Stephen, he secretly planned to poke the ball from behind. As a result, Stephen turned around and stabbed Stephen's waist.

Stephen grinned in pain. This guy was so cruel and his strength was quite strong. Since the opponent took action, Stephen would not be polite to him. Just like Robert Horry taught, he pretended to be looking for his teammates and turned around. When his elbow hit Danpier behind him, he didn't know where he was on his body. Then he heard a hissing sound in his ear. Danpier took a breath, but this guy was quite tough and didn't say a word. He just followed him and stared at Stephen with his bull eyes.

Stephen learned a lot of such tricks with Robert Horry. Robert Horry was born in the 1990s when the defense was crazy, and he spent so many years in the league, and went to several teams and learned a lot of such tricks. However, he also warned Stephen that it is okay to use such tricks occasionally, and never develop the habit of relying on this trick. In the end, basketball skills have to be decided on the basketball court.

So after just giving Danpier a lesson, Stephen began to play basketball seriously. Although he did not participate in the attack this time, he kept holding the opponent's defense. When he turned to the defense, he almost successfully stole from Daniels's hand, which scared Daniels and dribbled away Stephen.

When Danpier was preparing to shoot again, Stephen's big hand appeared on his head again. However, although he blocked Danpier's goal this time, Stephen was also fouled by the referee. **Vic also took this opportunity to replace Stephen, scoring, rebounding, stealing and blocking. Stephen was also a little tired. When he came down, he sat there for a long time before he came back to his senses.

However, the Spurs' momentum was inspired by Stephen's chaotic fight. Although Nowitzki still felt hot after he came on the court, the Spurs were not vegetarian either. In particular, Duncan seemed to have regained his passion and kept performing his specialty, playing a 45-degree angle into the box. In the end, the Spurs won the game 103-100 and won three consecutive victories in the new season.
