MM Racing Chapter 210
Chapter 210
Ginobili waved at Horry.
McInnis knew he had to defend this abnormal player who could fold himself again.
After the pick-and-roll, Ginobili's defender became McGinnis.
McInnis's experience in defense was still different from Carter's, and the pressure was immediately reduced.
Ginobili had a chance to breathe when dribbling, and he decided to continue to break through.
McInnis had asked Carter for advice on the serpentine breakthrough during the training match.
The breakthrough that was thought to be a sure thing was not as smooth as expected. McGinnis's hard defense made Ginobili feel another kind of pressure.
Fortunately, Ginobili still broke through under the crooked movements.
But the Spurs had no time to attack at this time.
It was too strenuous. Sure enough, stubbornness still didn't work. Carter looked at Ginobili as if he saw himself a few months ago.
"Pah"
When he faced Roy's defense, the outcome was already doomed.
For this kind of small guard who had no physical fitness and was still attacking under his nose,
Roy was never polite, and he blocked Ginobili's shot with a big block.
The basketball flew out of bounds in the air like a volleyball.
The Spurs' home court was different from the excitement and excitement at the beginning of the game.
Instead, everyone was silent, which highlighted the feeling of a library.
The home team seemed to have lost its magic in the hands of the Nets today, and became stumbling and not as smooth as before.
As the basketball was flying, the red light of the Spurs' offensive time came on.
24-second violation!
This word is familiar and unfamiliar. You should know that this season, the Spurs forced the opponent to 24-second offensive violations, ranking first in the league.
At this moment, they were forced into such a mess by the Nets. This is the first time this season.
Popovich stood on the sidelines with a dark face, yelling at Ginobili.
He became the busiest person on the sidelines today, even more than the players playing on the court.
"Manu, where are your eyes? You can pass the ball if you can't break through, but where is your pass? I asked you to attack, not to hit your head against a wall!"
Today's team is particularly difficult to lead.
Popovich worried and talked a lot, but the effect was mediocre.
After Ginobili made another mistake,
Just two minutes into the second quarter, Popovich called directly Timeout,
He really couldn't stand Ginobili's sleepwalking,
He didn't understand why Ginobili, who played well in the first quarter, changed so much, and decided to put him on the bench first,
Popovich glanced at the players on the bench,
"Brent, you play for Manu for a while, and defend well! Remember to give the ball to Tim, he will solve everything."
Whenever he encountered the dark side of Ginobili,
The only person Popovich could rely on was Duncan, because he knew that Tim Duncan would never let him down!
The 20-second timeout was short, but Ginobili's nightmare in the Spurs' rest area had just begun.
Popovich, who was already furious, found his target for venting.
The storm poured down on him, and the other Spurs substitutes sitting on the bench trembled.
No one wanted to offend the angry Popovich.
Everyone looked at the court, like an old monk in meditation, and didn't dare to turn his head to look at the head coach.
It seems that the Spurs have had a lot of such incidents.
Everyone was shivering with fear, and had no time to watch the originally tense game. They were all concentrating and carefully guarding.
After a 20-second timeout, the game returned to normal.
After Brent Barry came on the court, there was no substantial change in the Spurs' offense.
It was still the same old three things. If no one can do it, give the ball to Duncan.
The whole league understands this iron rule, but no one can stop it.
Today, Duncan needs to save the team in the second quarter, and what Roy needs to do is to try to stop him.
Spear and shield, shield and spear, changed positions in this round of offense and defense conversion,
Roy was selected to the NBA All-Defensive Team for the first time,
Duncan was selected to the NBA All-Defensive Team for the 15th time,
The confrontation between the two is one of the highlights of this series,
The old inside line versus the emerging inside line, the old and new battle is very interesting,
Another low-post ball, the difference is that Duncan is facing the basket to deal with Roy's defense,
Continuous back-to-the-basket makes Duncan unable to bear it,
Duncan's expression is firm, he glanced at the basket calmly, his eyes scanned around,
He needs to be careful that Lao Liu will sneak attack him while he is attacking,
DuncanHis dribbling was steady and tough, just like his style of play, which did not need to be gorgeous, but effective.
He knew that his explosive power was far inferior to Roy.
He leaned on Roy at the first moment of the breakthrough.
The two moved sideways at the same time, and Roy's footsteps kept up with Duncan without any effort.
But the pressure after the strength was added was less than the back-to-back defense.
Before the two reached the reasonable collision zone, Roy firmly stuck in position and did not retreat a step.
Duncan did not want to carry it in so hard.
His shooting was when his body leaned against Roy to prevent him from jumping.
The static body shapes of the two were very similar. Roy, who could not jump, had no advantage in explosive power against Duncan.
Duncan relied on his advantage in rhythm and used a big hook similar to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar while moving.
The basketball bounced on the basket, and Popovich's heart trembled.
Fortunately, the ball fell into the basket smoothly the second time.
The soft touch finally let Duncan score this goal.
You can always trust Duncan. This sentence is still as trustworthy as ever.
In times of adversity, such reassuring players are needed.
The fans in the stands cheered. The first goal in the second quarter was not easy.
Duncan's goal made Popovich feel relieved. As long as there is no scoring drought and the stalemate is maintained,
When the substitutes are replaced, the Spurs always have the opportunity to close the gap.
The deep substitute group is also one of his inner reliance.
Unlike the Nets, who almost always play with 7-8 people from beginning to end.
The Nets had the ball. Carter passed the ball across half court and gave it to Kidd.
Due to Ginobili's departure, the Spurs' defense changed back.
Parker continued to bear the burden of defending Kidd.
However, Kidd did not seem to have the desire to attack in the second quarter. He held the ball on the outside and found Roy in the inside.
The ball was in Roy's hands.
Roy tried to break through, but Duncan had positioned him in advance so that he did not have many opportunities.
The ball returned to Carter's hands again.
Facing Bowen, Carter directly started the breakthrough.
After changing direction, he dribbled inward.
Bowen thought he was going to attack the basket directly and retreated a little.
But Carter did not attack Duncan who was ready to attack in the inside.
Instead, he suddenly crossed the baseline after the breakthrough.
In Bowen's stunned eyes, he made a mid-range shot from the baseline.
Why are you fat? Shouldn't Carter take two steps after the breakthrough and jump towards the basket and swing it directly?
Vince, you are going against the dunk decision!
