376. From the beginning to the end

It’s really not that Duncan is not defending well. If someone else is used to perform European steps, the second offense will break into the basket without any obstacles. Faced with Duncan’s defense this time, 99% of them will be severely disturbed. If you dare to say that you can guarantee the success rate of the offense, only Ginobili or Wade.

But even if these two men change their steps backwards in such a European way, it will be difficult for them to dunk to end the attack.

Duncan defends this area so well!

Even if Duncan cannot take off the jump and block it, it can have a huge impact on the opponent's jump and throwing shot due to height and wingspan.

Duncan thought he had prevented it, and at that time, there was a smile that was hard for ordinary people to detect.

I didn’t expect that the other party could even get a dunk in such a situation!

The warden obviously had to use layups to finish the attack...

Amid the crazy cheers of the fans at the scene, Liu Xiu Guangrong retreated to defend.

The talent of the characteristics converted by the copied feature is often more buggy than the characteristics of the copy object itself. It has the bonus of "Snake Step". Liu Xiu's European Step can jump with all his strength when he starts every step, including the third step attack box! Plus the bounce +3 and bounce speed +3, and the bonus of "Little Overlord's Knee Pad", the bounce speed soars to 92, and the bounce height of 89 gives Duncan a ruthless one.

The first attack was won at the beginning! And this is the way to score goals. The teammates were so excited when they ran back to the backcourt to slap Liu Xiu.

Offensive and defensive conversion, Spurs attack.

Parker pushed to the frontcourt with speed, waited patiently for the time to launch an attack, and immediately accelerated the sprint and began to break through!

He didn't believe that the second-grade person on the opposite side could defend him, he didn't believe it... Then the change of direction he was blocked by Liu Xiu again when he was moving at high speed!

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

But he doesn't have these abilities!

Retrieve and launch a new attack and find a partner to support is the best choice, but Parker didn't! He was dissatisfied, and he broke through hard, and was pushed all the way by Liu Xiu... The middle distance of the left bottom line on the three-second zone, turned around and made a strong shot... "Bang"... Rahim's big hat to make up for the defense!

The ball was slapped into the audience seat on the left of the basket, causing bursts of exclamations.

Even more surprised came, the Spurs called for a timeout!

Although the ball rights are still from the Spurs, the Spurs' offensive time is only 6 seconds left because they are not in the box. This timeout made the fans on the scene confused.

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

Everyone turned around and saw Popovich walking forward two steps to meet Parker, then pointed at Parker and scolded him.

For some reason, when I saw this scene, my teammates felt that the warden seemed very powerful and always had a particularly sharp vision in these things that were not available.

Even the confusion about why the other party called a pause, and the rhythm was ignored by the other party's excessively sudden pause.

On the other hand, after venting and scolding, Popovich felt happy - the method I learned from the teacher is good.

Moreover, he is smarter than that teacher. He always only focuses on one person and scolds him. He doesn't scold the streets, but he just scolds him. If he scolds others, he can still show that "I'm for your own good."

Although Parker was angry, he was really wrong. He did not calmly execute tactics, which undermined the team's offensive discipline, and the emotions of self-blame prevailed.

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

But he didn't know why he felt a little danger.

...

After the timeout, neither team made a substitution.

The Spurs' frontcourt ball, Parker handed the ball to Ginobili as expected after receiving the ball.

Ginobili held the ball, and the other nine players on the court were very focused.

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

The last player who was afraid of nine people with one person was called Bai Chocolate. When Bai Chocolate became a good point guard, the Demon Sword became another form of fear of nine people with one person with one person.

"Manu Ginobili, 27 years old, 198 cm, 93 kg, SG/SF, ability evaluation 84 (?), offense 87 (?), defense 82, three-pointers 80, mid-range shot 67, layup 95, speed 91, strength 88, bounce 94, physical strength 86... Average playing time of 29 minutes, average 15.4 points, 4.2 rebounds 3.6 assists 1.8 steals..."

Judging from the data, Ginobili is comparable to Parker this season, and his physical strength has just reached the level of being able to play the main players, which is a big step behind Parker.

But Liu Xiu's fear of Ginobili is much higher than that of a young sports car that is only 22 years old!

Simply put, after more than 20 games after the start of the season, when the All-Star voting began, he was regarded as an All-Star favorite, and Parker was not.

Liu Xiu was quite 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 too stable, so stable that they have no ability to struggle even when they encounter desperate situations. Now there is finally a variable - the Demon Sword Ginobili!

Every time Ginobili broke out during his peak period, Popovich thought of the high school student on the West Coast who intoxicated him. He could barely enjoy the great god without blessings and the demon sword.

Under everyone's gaze, the demon sword that received the ball faced Peyton's close-fitting defense and immediately began to make a single breakthrough. The attack time was not long... After breaking to the free throw line, a two-pointer fell on the basket with a "clang" sound.

Rahim grabbed the ball and pushed it back and attacked, and sent the ball to Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu received the ball while moving, and rushed to Parker who was chasing him and made a layup.

Popovich almost spurted out his old blood: You are just like a great god, do you want you to shoot like a great god? Is mid-range shots the thing you should do? You only made 51 mid-range shots last season, and so far this season, you only made 15 mid-range shots. Don’t you know?

I'm so angry! I have to scold Parker for the next time!

...

Parker couldn't beat it. The double-edged sword of the Demon Sword stabbed himself at the beginning tonight, and the Spurs started to enter a headwind.

At this time, we have to rely on Duncan.

When the Spurs attacked, Duncan received the ball at a low post. Facing Kwame Brown's defense, he turned around with a step, and flicked Kwame Brown with a fake shot, and shot with a hook shot... Hit! 2-4, Duncan made a decisive attack to help the Spurs stabilize the situation.

This is simply amazing! After other players with top physical fitness suffered injuries that affect their athletic ability, they were unwilling to believe the facts. They were extremely confident or extremely scared and had to prove that they did not decline in the game. After Duncan confirmed the impact of the injury, he found the trainer expressionlessly and began to adjust his playing style. With his solid basic skills, he turned into a floor flow in the summer.

It is hard to say which is better, Duncan’s style of playing last season or this season’s style of playing.

But after playing Kwame Brown and Duncan turned into a floor, it became easier to deal with it.

Kwame Brown is just a 22-year-old young man. He is very good at dealing with players with physical fitness. It is still quite difficult to defend against Gasol, Nowitzki and now Duncan.

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

Liu Xiu's start, Kwame Brown and Raheem blocked twice at the start, and the Trail Blazers were in a state of great momentum. Even if Duncan stabilized the situation, he could not suppress the Trail Blazers' momentum.

The Spurs entered the headwind. In this case, if Ginobili couldn't open it, Popovich had only one way - to strengthen the defense and point at Duncan to withstand the opponent's attack.

When the next time he died, Popovich replaced Ginobili to prevent the demon sword from continuing to commit suicide, replaced Brent Barry, strengthened shooting stability, strengthen confrontation, and continued to improve defense.

With a disagreement, the Spurs' strategy is very effective, the game rhythm is suppressed, and the offensive success rate of the two teams begins to decline.

When the first quarter was over, the Spurs tied 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 gap to 9 points!

The Spurs blocked three-pointers, protected the frame, and cut in the wing... They even defended well on both sides of the bottom corners. After all, the Spurs themselves are the third-place team in the bottom corner of the league, second only to the Suns and the Supersonics.

But central shots are a loophole in the Spurs’ defensive end!

The Trail Blazers are not as sluggish as Kobe's mid-range one-on-one singles, but the Spurs, which are Liu Xiu, Xiao Feishe and Randolph, dare not underestimate them.

With the restraint of three people playing on the court, Raheem, extrajudicial madman, McDace, Payton... and others were very decisive when they received the ball from mid-range.

This is not a catch-up shot. The Blazers' bold coach and the immature warden combined the tactics specially arranged by several backups or veterans, the defenders!

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

He adjusted his defense properly. In the third quarter, the Spurs finally limited the Trail Blazers' scores, allowing the Trail Blazers to score 19 points in the third quarter, but the Trail Blazers also played a good defense in high confrontation, and the Spurs themselves only scored 20 points.

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

The Spurs actually created conditions for the team's stars to make a comeback in the third quarter, but the stars they are counting on failed to soar. By the end of the quarter, they still created opportunities, but still failed to soar... Tonight, the demon sword will pit from beginning to end!

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

Relying on Liu Xiu's performance of 22 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, the Trail Blazers won 93-86, for the first time in five seasons when they fought the Spurs for the first time in the new season!
