MM Racing Chapter 184
Chapter 184
After nearly 20 minutes of warm-up, the Spurs fans booed for more than 10 minutes.
Is this the standard for away games in the finals?
Roy asked Kidd, there was no such phenomenon in the finals two years ago.
Kidd said that the boos were usually only during free throws and fouls.
He had never seen such a scene of booing in the warm-up.
Roy suddenly thought that it might be related to his kick in Bruce Bowen's crotch.
The parties involved at that time returned to the scene of the incident again. It would be strange if the fans on the other side could watch the game quietly.
After all, their own defensive spearhead was destroyed by the insidious young man on the opposite side.
He just stepped on his foot, and you actually made him have no children and grandchildren. Such behavior is absolutely unforgivable!
The fans are blind and cute. The plot of protecting their calves is everywhere, especially in a city like Texas that is full of Western cowboy personality.
It will only get worse, and they will not think about why the situation turned into Dandan's sadness.
Unreasonable, barbaric, and willful are the stereotypes of Texas for Americans.
And today, the Spurs fans showed this very prominently.
Today's starting lineups of both teams:
Spurs: Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen, Robert Horry, Tim Duncan
Nets: Jason Kidd, Raja Bell, Vince Carter, Chuck McGinnis, Roy
The Spurs did not change from the previous game.
The Nets sent the unknown rookie McGinnis.
This was McGinnis' first start in the playoffs, replacing Richard Jefferson who had performed poorly in the previous two games.
Coach Frank tested it repeatedly during the training game, and Jefferson's three-pointer was not up to standard.
And McGinnis's three-pointer in the two bottom corners has been practiced all season at Roy's suggestion.
The hit rate is even more gratifying, and he has deliberately increased his weight on the defensive end, and he has proved that he does not have too many disadvantages against Horry.
Popovich couldn't help but look up to the young head coach Frank of the Nets for McGinnis's starting lineup.
He silently thought that this young coach was not too pedantic.
If it were him, he might have put Jefferson on the bench in the second game.
After all, the current situation, inability to shoot three-pointers and average mid-range shots, is too much harm to the team.
Jefferson has not been able to practice three-pointers and mid-range shots, and can only rush to the basket with a rounded shot.
But is it really that easy to score in the Spurs' inside line?
Duncan and Horry are not just for show. Duncan is also a member of the first defense.
No matter how strong Jefferson's physical fitness is, he can never be compared with Duncan.
Besides, Jefferson's passing is also a big problem. He is really not suitable for the tactical choice that the Nets need now.
He is more suitable for coming off the bench. After the Nets' main players leave the court, he will hold the ball with the substitutes and carry explosives to put pressure on the Spurs' inside line.
Such tactics may be more suitable for him, and he himself does not have to play so awkwardly in this series.
...
The two teams in the midfield have set up their formations, and there seems to be basically no suspense in the fight for the ball.
Roy has proved in the first two games that his jump ball is indeed far better than Duncan's floor flow.
The referee held the ball and blew a whistle.
The basketball was thrown into the air, but this time the referee's throw was completely different from the previous one.
It was a low-altitude ball. The two players' long arms touched the basketball in the air.
The basketball flew up again, but the landing point was closer to Duncan.
Duncan took the lead and pushed Roy away with his wrist and swung his long arm to pass the ball to Parker.
"Nice!"
The Spurs fans were very excited.
It is said that Asians are superstitious, but in fact, they are sometimes more superstitious than us in North America.
Good omen, a good start, they are often more particular than Roy, a Chinese.
In their eyes, winning the ball is like winning the game. I don't know why the Spurs fans are so crazy.
Tony Parker got the basketball and started to accelerate quickly.
In order to relieve Kidd's back pain, Coach Frank still asked Lagabel to guard Parker in the first two quarters.
Parker's acceleration was within his expectations.
Because Parker was always so excited every time he held the ball in the midfield.
Lagabel stood firmly in front of him to slow down his advance.
But the Spurs were obviously prepared. Ginobili quickened his pace after passing the midfield and appeared beside Parker when he was stagnant.
Parker hit the ball and passed it out. Breaking through became Ginobili's task.
He had a very good rhythm of dribbling with his left hand. Carter's two consecutive attempts to steal the ball were resolved by him.Bowen, who caught up with him from behind, helped him to do a pick-and-roll, and he was able to shake off Carter's defense and rush to the Nets' inside line.
Before entering the restricted area, McGinnis stood in front of him at the right time.
The front was the reasonable collision zone, and Ginobili, who had already started to accelerate, couldn't stop the car at all.
He could only bite the bullet and accelerate. As long as he knocked the defending McGinnis into the reasonable collision zone, it would be equivalent to a collision in vain.
Not only that, he might also achieve 2+1.
It definitely takes courage to make an offensive foul. Parker was scared in the last game.
In this game, the first-year young player McGinnis showed him what toughness and courage are!
His two legs seemed to be rooted firmly to the ground.
Ginobili, who was moving at high speed, knocked him over directly.
"Beep~Beep~!"
The referee's whistle sounded, and he waved his arms downward with both hands, pointing in the direction of the Spurs and blew the whistle twice in a row.
Dribble collision!
The audience booed. This was the Spurs' home court, and the home team was called for an offensive foul in the first round.
Is this something a mature referee can do?
Not sensible at all. What is the home advantage? Referee, can you explain it to me?
The referee insisted on his judgment. The league had analyzed the strength comparison of the two teams before the game.
In their opinion, the Spurs will definitely be better. If the home team is still given a whistle, then the award can be given directly this year.
In order to play more games to boost ratings, it is impossible to let the game end so quickly.
So what the league requires is not to favor any party, and absolute fairness!
This is also the reason why the referee can keep his heart. To be honest, cheating and partiality are much more difficult than normal refereeing.
Acting is something that not everyone has, and now technology is so advanced, there are cameras everywhere.
Wouldn't it be a shame to be caught with a little handle in the future?
This kind of fair, open and just game is the most comfortable.
The referee ignored the boos of the audience and maintained the original judgment. The replay on the big screen above the court also proved this.
Although Ginobili's impact was powerful,
McInnis's feet stood firmly outside the reasonable collision zone without moving, and there was no problem with this penalty.
McInnis on the ground was helped up by his teammates. At least in this round, he can prove that he is a qualified defender and a truly courageous person!
Active in defense, with a positive attitude and a good personality, McGinnis has always been the team's happy pill.
Although he is sometimes impulsive, as young people are, everyone still likes him.
Carter even patted his head excitedly.
McInnis is not proud, but honestly found the ball on the ground and passed it to Kidd.
