NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

Chapter 189

Although reluctant to admit it, the Nets still took the initiative in the Spurs' home court.

Roy used his own performance to help the team's big brother Jason Kidd relieve the pressure.

The free throw was easily hit.

Duncan received his second personal foul of the game not long after the second quarter.

This is also the offensive goal that Roy wants to achieve.

Everyone has his own strengths and weaknesses. Although the Spurs seem to be stronger, they are not invincible.

Defense itself is not to prevent the opponent from scoring.

It just makes the opponent shoot reluctantly and shoot with increased difficulty.

Reducing the opponent's hit rate is the basis of defense.

Seeing that the expected effect was not achieved after increasing the defense intensity in this quarter,

The Spurs can only adjust their strategy and increase the intensity of attack.

Home court games have obvious advantages over the Nets in any case.

Parker was dribbling the ball outside the three-point line. The Nets kept a close watch on the three GDP players.

Ginobili and Carter almost fell together and had no chance to catch the ball.

At this time, the veterans had to be relied upon.

Duncan had already secured a good position in the paint.

Horry saw Parker's predicament and suddenly responded from the baseline.

He took the basketball from Parker and then passed it to Duncan under the basket.

The hand-to-hand combat between Roy and Duncan had entered a white-hot stage.

Duncan, due to his strength advantage, still got the position. After receiving Horry's pass, he started to play singles in the paint.

Roy was not someone who would surrender. Duncan played singles. When he was in the game, he had to be prepared to be blocked by Roy.

The more the opponent's physical fitness was, the more frightened Duncan was.

He had to go all out to avoid being blocked by the opponent's defense.

After the back-to-back, Duncan had more changes than before.

He had always had solid skills and had to do more fake moves. Simply going straight up and down in front of Roy was just asking for trouble.

You need to find the right rhythm and play poor defense.

After continuous fake moves, he turned over and threw a right-handed backward throw.

Roy's long arms were only a few millimeters away from the basketball.

The basketball bounced on the basket a few times and fell into the basket.

Although Roy tried his best to avoid being deceived by Duncan's fake moves when defending,

Duncan was too stable. As a psychology graduate, he seemed to know how to grasp the defensive players' minds.

Both sides kept testing each other, and Duncan finally put the ball in without any danger.

The second quarter was a one-on-one show between Roy and Duncan.

Kid attacked a few times at the beginning, and the rest of the time he was only responsible for organizing the team's offense.

Watching Roy's performance,

Vince Carter, another arrow of the Nets, did not feel good in the second quarter.

Fortunately, Ginobili of the Spurs also stumbled.

This also led to a slow rise in the score, and they could only rely on the two inside players to score hard one round after another.

The intensity of the game suddenly increased, and it was all hand-to-hand combat, and every round was laborious.

Until the end of the second quarter, the Spurs made a substitution.

Brent Barry replaced Ginobili, who was not performing well.

No one expected that a role player would directly change the balance between the two teams.

The white three-point shooter blew a few breaths on his hand shape,

and walked onto the court with the coach's entrustment still lingering in his ears.

The pick-and-roll between Parker and Duncan,

After Popovich's warm greetings,

Parker's breakthrough was like a self-detonating truck, moving forward without stopping,

Even with Roy's full-scale pursuit, Parker still rushed to the basket,

Fortunately, McGinnis had been waiting here for a long time,

Parker saw that he would definitely suffer if he forced a layup, so he passed the ball to Duncan at the top of the arc,

He couldn't even grasp the free throw line, and the top of the arc was not Duncan's strong point,

But Duncan had his own way, he squeezed Lagabel's defense, attracted help defense,

Brent Barry, the surprise soldier, came in handy,

He did not become a fixed-point shooter in an unusual way , but after receiving the pass from Duncan, he dribbled horizontally, followed by a three-point jump shot on the move,

"Shua"

This tactical habit of his is completely different from what the Nets had studied before,

This kind of shooting has never been his specialty, but he dared to shoot directly,

This is also the reason why Carter did not react,

According to Carter's judgment, Barry should normally dribble two steps and then pass it back to Duncan or Parker,

But this is not the opponent's regular offensive method after all,

"Vince, don't let him have space to shoot, that ball is abnormal!"

Coach Frank reminded Carter in time, after all, Popovich is shrewd and will not do it for no reason

Carter gestured to show that he knew. This abnormal shot needs to be observed.

In the Nets' offensive round,

Kidd faced Parker again after Ginobili left the court.

You can't let Brent Barry, who is not good at defense, defend Kidd, which is basically giving points.

Facing Parker again, Kidd, who had rested for most of the quarter, felt that he was good again.

Seeing that Roy and Carter didn't have much chance,

Kidd used his physical strength to break through in front of Parker again.

Although this action seemed slow in Parker's eyes,

Kidd could still make Parker stare blankly. He really couldn't bear it.

In Parker's eyes, Kidd was a small bulldozer.

Obviously, he had no threat, but he couldn't stop him.

Seeing that he was about to enter, Horry under the basket had to guard McGinnis again.

Parker was anxious, he pulled Kidd who broke through with his hand,

"Beep"

He could only use fouls to stop Kidd from further invading,

On the free throw line, Kidd patted the ball and looked at the basket,

The fans behind the Spurs basket shouted,

Kid blew a kiss to the basket when shooting free throws,

This was Kidd's flying kiss to his wife, and it was like this every time, even though he loved his wife very much,

But later he didn't have a good ending, he was abused by his wife,

No one expected that Kidd's NBA-level physical fitness would be abused by his wife, and then divorced, the ending was not very good.

But Kidd still had a good relationship with his wife at this time,

The flying kiss during free throws was also Kidd's signature move,

It's a pity that since ancient times, true love cannot be retained, only routines can win people's hearts,

Even Kidd, who is worth billions, finally became a poor man who was abused.

Kissing didn't bring Kidd good luck in this game.

The free throw shooting rate was about 88%, and he rarely made one of two shots.

The Spurs got the rebound again, and Parker launched the attack.

He broke through quickly and dodged the Nets' defense.

Fortunately, Roy, the last barrier, stopped the happy Parker.

Parker chose to pass the ball again, turned around and passed it directly to Brent Barry who was following up.

Carter immediately stuck to him.

Duncan, who came from behind, blocked Carter's defense with a pick-and-roll.

The defense was open, and Brent Barry didn't hesitate after he got the chance.

He raised his hand and shot directly on the three-point line.

"Shua"

Hit again! These two three-pointers are too important.

The Nets, who originally had a slight lead, were directly overtaken by the score.

The Spurs hid too deep, which is their deep bench strength!
