MM Racing Chapter 261
Chapter 261
Coach Frank looked at Roy's goal and showed an expression of "as expected".
He knew Roy too well, and knew how this diligent Chinese teenager gave up his entertainment time and practiced after the daily training games. He was the first to arrive at the court every morning.
All of this came from the Chinese teenager's love and persistence for basketball!
Coach Frank has been in this industry for so long, and he has seen too many talented young players wasting their talents, hanging out in nightclubs, bars, women, and money.
It is rare to see a pure player like Roy. Without the love for basketball, it is impossible to persist for many years.
Since the start of the playoffs, Roy would practice 200 three-pointers every day after the training games, no matter how late he could go home.
Now that the Spurs are forcing him to try to cut off his connection with his friends, Coach Frank immediately thought of Roy's three-pointer.
Coach Frank doesn't know about other people's three-pointers, but Roy's three-pointer. Frank would feel scared when he thought about it!
In the Spurs rest area, Popovich watched Roy score coldly.
He clenched his fist lightly,
His face was calm, he had to stick to this tactic, otherwise the Spurs would be even more difficult to beat.
The Spurs had the ball, Parker dribbled the ball across half court alone,
Last round, Parker stole the ball, this round, Lagabel stuck to Parker all the way, directly cutting off Parker's attempt to make a one-on-one move on the court.
Lagabell started a pressure-type defense, and Parker was harassed by him. Fortunately, after passing the three-point line, Duncan screened upwards to help Parker get out of the quagmire created by Lagabell.
But Roy's defensive ability was obvious to all. Parker was just moving from one quagmire to another bigger quagmire.
Roy's defense was not as oppressive and suffocating as Lagabell's, but Roy's height, wingspan and amazing explosive power made Parker feel desperate.
There were only a few meters from the three-point line to the restricted area, and Parker could not open the distance between him and Roy.
Parker was firmly locked by Roy throughout his breakthrough. After a circle in the restricted area, Parker could only pass the ball back to the top of the arc, in Ginobili's hands.
When Jefferson defended Ginobili today, he definitely used 120% of his effort, almost doing everything he could. His strong body constantly forced Ginobili to make difficult breakthroughs.
Ginobili's defensive attack was almost blocked. While moving sideways, he tried to break through the basket.
Roy had already stood in the middle distance in advance to cut off Ginobili's last way.
Facing Jefferson's pressure, Ginobili could only choose to force a small gap to jump shot.
"Ding"
Jefferson's defensive awareness was very good. While pressing, he jumped and almost covered Ginobili's shot, causing Ginobili's shot to be seriously deformed, and the basketball hit the basket heavily.
Roy grabbed the rebound before Duncan at the basket.
Roy controlled the ball firmly in his hands, and when he was sure that there were no Spurs players around, he dribbled across half court alone.
Ginobili wanted to interfere with Roy's dribbling midway, but Roy made a simple disguise and passed him cleanly.
Spurs players often still don't understand that they are not facing a power forward, let alone an inside player, but an outside player in the guise of a power forward!
Fortunately, after halftime, Duncan immediately filled in Ginobili's vacancy.
Roy passed the ball to Carter, who dribbled directly to Bowen, trying to directly threaten the Spurs' basket.
Fortunately, the Spurs' overall defensive layering is absolutely top-notch in the league. With the layers stacked, Carter couldn't break into the deep restricted area at all.
Dribbling back to the outside, Roy signaled Carter to do a pick-and-roll with him outside the three-point line.
After the pick-and-roll, Roy got the ball back, and Duncan changed his defensive strategy. He decided not to let Roy shoot.
Roy was keenly aware of the Spurs' defense, dribbled two steps from the three-point line, and suddenly stood up and pretended to jump shot while facing Duncan, shaking Duncan up.
Then he broke through from the side of Duncan and went directly into the Spurs' restricted area. He ignored Robert Horry's defense in the interior, and made a layup with one hand over Horry's head, and easily put the basketball into the basket.
57 to 60
Roy can play both inside and outside, making the Spurs defense at a loss.
At this time, even Duncan turned his head to look at Popovich, the head coach of the Spurs rest area.
Popovich shook his head calmly. As an old coach, he is definitely strong enough, but the Spurs players cannot ignore Roy's goals one after another.
This will not only hurt the team, but alsoThe players are under tremendous psychological pressure.
When the opponent has a player who can shoot any shot and cannot be defended, everyone will be devastated.
But what does it matter? This is the only solution Popovich can think of, and it may also be the best solution.
Just let him shoot, make him tired, and let him self-destruct in this war of attrition!
Coach Frank is also worried about Roy's physical strength. However, from the beginning of the season to now, Roy's endurance and strength have made great progress due to his hard training. He believes that Roy is definitely not just three quarters of physical strength!
The most important thing is that Roy is only 19 years old. No matter how tired he was the day before, he can be full of energy after a good sleep. He has unlimited energy.
The Spurs are not only facing Roy's defensive problems now, but also their offensive problems.
The Nets have almost figured out Parker's tactics, Ginobili is still being entangled by Jefferson, and Duncan doesn't seem to have a good way to defend Roy. Everything seems to have become a dead end.
When Ginobili was confused when dribbling across half court, Duncan under the basket pointed his finger at him.
Ginobili understood. The tactic of Duncan pointing his finger is exactly the tactic that has been practiced many times and is used to open up unfavorable situations.
Dribbling to a 45-degree angle, Ginobili passed the ball to Duncan, and then started to slip past Duncan's side.
At the same time as Ginobili started, Duncan passed the ball to Ginobili secretly. Roy focused all his energy on Duncan and did not expect the Spurs to pass the ball in such a hidden way.
Ginobili broke through to the other side of the basket with the ball, turned over and made a close-range jump shot.
Although the Spurs' cooperation was very exquisite, Roy, who was already crazy under the basket at this time, turned around at the fastest speed and jumped on the spot. His extremely powerful explosive power was reflected at this moment.
When Nobili's basketball flew into the air, when it rose to the highest point, Roy's hand was like the giant palm of a giant spirit.
He slapped the ball out of bounds with all his strength!
