MM Racing Chapter 253
Chapter 253
Popovich looked deeply at the two Nets players.
Carter and Roy scored a goal each at the start.
At least from the current point of view, the two have adjusted their status very well.
This almost indicates that the Spurs' ending tonight is destined to be not too smooth.
After the away loss, whether it was really a loss in the last game, wanting to win the championship at home, or really losing on the road,
the pressure of the game was given to the Spurs.
Whether it was the fans, the team's top management, or those one-sided media,
the game must not be lost when everyone is optimistic. This is equivalent to putting the Spurs on the fire. Once they lose, they are destined to become a laughing stock among everyone.
Roy's goal made Duncan very uncomfortable. He has always been the center of the field.
As long as he steps into this court, he will always become the focus invisibly. Although he doesn't care whether the spotlight is focused on him,
But he can't resist the media's promotion. Although the Spurs have taken the lead,
But in terms of data and scenes, the first-year rookie on the opposite side has always taken the initiative.
No matter whether the game is won or lost, Duncan has not taken advantage.
Many media have said that Duncan is old and cannot compare with the young Roy in strength. This season is the time for the replacement of the old and the new.
Completely ignore that Duncan is still at his peak at this time. He is 29 years old, the golden age for a professional player!
People fight for a breath, and Buddha receives a stick of incense.
Stone Buddha Duncan is no exception. It doesn't matter, but using himself as a stepping stone is definitely not okay!
Besides, the third championship he craves is right in front of him. Whether it is an individual or a team, he must be ready to lead the team to win this most crucial game of the season.
Parker held the ball and wandered around the three-point line. While Lagabell was not paying attention, he quickly accelerated and broke through and went directly into the restricted area of the Nets.
Today's Parker was obviously smarter in his playing style.
He did not choose to fight hard, but took a trick.
Taking advantage of Lagabell's attention being attracted by Ginobili's running position,
He disappeared directly in front of Lagabell.
After Parker broke through, he took two steps inside the three-point line. After getting the ball, he faced Roy who was about to make up for the defense.
He quickly stopped and jumped to grab the ball before Roy Before Roy's defense arrived,
Parker made a lot of preparations, but Roy came too fast,
Seeing that his shot could not escape the fate of being blocked,
Parker remained calm, dodged Roy in the air and passed the ball to Ginobili in the right corner,
After Ginobili received the ball, he threw the basketball hard without stopping,
The ball flew to the inside, and Duncan was unattended under the basket at this time,
After receiving the pass, Roy, who had lost his position, had no use to return to defense, and Duncan easily scored a layup.
The Spurs' cooperation was as smooth as ever.
Under the treatment of the GDP combination, the Nets' defense was effectively torn apart without any disturbance.
Coach Frank was very dissatisfied with Lagabell's distraction.
Jefferson's defense against Ginobili was very successful after the opening, but Lagabell, a defensive gate, had problems at this time.
"Lagabell, don't be distracted. Focus on defending one first. When you can ensure that Parker has no other threatening actions, then assist the rest of the team."
The finals are like this. The bayonet is bloody. No distraction or mistakes are allowed.
Otherwise, your opponent will severely punish your team for your mistakes.
Someone said that the championship team is the barrel theory. The competition is about who has fewer shortcomings, and the team's tolerance rate will naturally be higher.
Originally, all the Nets players except Kidd did not understand this.
It was not until the sixth game that they gradually understood it.
If you have shortcomings, your opponent will use them infinitely until you find a way to crack them.
In the first quarter, in the grand and suffocating atmosphere of the Spurs' home court, French trot Tony Parker stood out in the first quarter.
He scored 11 points efficiently with a hit rate of 4 out of 6 shots.
The Spurs took the lead 28 to 24.
Roy and Carter performed normally, but unfortunately the role players still couldn't compete with each other, which was the main reason why the Nets fell behind.
In the Nets' rest area, Coach Frank has been sending offensive signals to other players.
"You must shoot resolutely and don't hesitate. If you don't dare to shoot in the first and second quarters, can you still expect to perform exceptionally in the last two quarters?"
Frank stared at every starter of the Nets and said seriously,
The feel and confidence are shot out. The Nets still have a tolerance rate in the half court. When everyone must be a soldier,
In addition, Frank still has to ask LagabeEr emphasized defense again.
Parker's offense in the first quarter was too good, which put a lot of pressure on the Nets.
Not only Raja Bell, but others on the team also had to be prepared to assist in defense.
Roy suddenly spoke at this time:
"Raga, when necessary, you can put him in. Do you remember the pocket formation we played in the previous few games? I think we can catch him a few times."
The pocket formation is tailor-made for players like Parker. If one person can't do anything about him,
the best way is to use the strength of the whole team.
The Nets rest area hadn't even taken a few breaths when the referee's whistle urged the players to return to the game.
Roy took a big sip of the energy drink.
Duncan's defensive intensity in this game was at least a step up, and he was completely fighting against himself.
From the results of the first quarter, the two were evenly matched, and Duncan, who was playing at home, had some small advantages.
After all, Duncan, who had the advantage of experience and strength, was still very lethal.
In order to limit Duncan's performance, Roy committed 2 fouls, and his teammates who assisted in defense also committed 1 foul.
Fortunately, Duncan's free throw rate has always been quite touching, and today was no exception.
He made 3 of 6 free throws, which was just 50% of the hit rate, which was a blessing in disguise.
At the beginning of the second quarter, under the instruction of head coach Frank, Carter started the offensive mode. After dribbling across half court, he did not pass the ball to Roy for unified handling. Instead, he lowered his center of gravity when facing Bowen. After starting from a long distance, Carter's strength and impact were definitely among the best. His strong strength and impact crushed Bowen who tried to limit Carter's breakthrough with his footwork. After squeezing Bowen away, Carter dribbled and continued to attack the Spurs' basket. While Carter attracted Duncan and Ginobili to make up for the defense, Carter faced a three-man double team in the mid-range. After protecting the ball, he passed the ball to Roy in the crowd. Duncan turned over and tried to limit Roy's attack under the basket. But the basketball only passed through Roy's hands, and while distracting the Spurs' attention again, Roy passed the ball to Jefferson who was running at high speed on the other side. He jumped high, received Roy's pass in the air, relayed in the air, and dunked with both hands.
