MM Racing Chapter 174
Chapter 174
The first quarter was played at this pace.
The Nets, who were extremely focused on the game, used their defensive suppression and sufficient firepower on the offensive end.
Both ends caused great trouble to the Spurs.
The first quarter was 34 to 26.
The Nets led by 8 points in the first quarter.
Relying on GDP's personal ability, the Spurs kept the score difference within 10 points.
They did not let the Nets open the score in the first quarter.
The first quarter was paused for rest.
Popovich finally spoke as he looked at the Spurs players wiping their sweat:
"This is the Nets you despised. Facts have proved that they have the ability and strength to defeat us. As long as we relax our vigilance, the first quarter will be the result."
"I don't want the team to relax on the defensive end in the second quarter. Tim, you have to put more pressure on Roy on the offensive end. Tony, you can fire freely in the second quarter and speed up the rhythm to let them experience what the Suns felt in the last series."
Tony Parker grinned, and the tight ring on his head was finally untied at the coach's signal.
In the Nets rest area, the players played very well in the first quarter.
Coach Frank had nothing to add to the players.
He could only remind the players to pay attention to defense. The Spurs were not a team that would surrender easily.
Sure enough, after the opening, Coach Frank saw the changes in the Spurs.
The players were still the same, but the tactics were obviously different.
In the second half, the Spurs had the ball, Parker advanced quickly with the ball.
Duncan pulled up to cover Parker outside the three-point line.
Roy was only delayed by Duncan for less than half a second, and Parker had already slipped into the Nets' restricted area with the ball.
Except for Roy, the Nets had no height under the basket, let alone deterrence.
Facing Jefferson who was defending, Parker avoided his defense and broke through to the basket.
He scored 2 points with a light layup.
"When they pick and roll, do a good job of assisting defense and delaying halfway, don't let him break through easily!"
Coach Frank reminded,
Just defend against this kind of pick and roll, anyway, Parker's three-point shooting rate is too average.
Kidd organized the offense after passing half court,
When he found that Parker's defense was loose, he broke through directly,
Although the old man on the court is not fast, his body is really strong,
He passed Parker and faced Ginobili's assist defense. He easily passed the ball to Lagabel who was ambushing at 45 degrees,
There was an open three-point opportunity, and Lagabel jumped directly after getting the ball,
The three-point shot was successful!
After hitting the ball, Lagabell hugged Kidd excitedly.
The team's pursuit of points was halted by his consecutive missed three-pointers in the last game,
which indirectly led to the team's defeat.
Lagabell blamed himself for this in the past few days.
There are only 7 games in the finals.
It is unacceptable for any team to lose the home advantage and a win.
Today, he finally got a chance for revenge.
After all the hard work, he was a little hesitant when he got the ball.
What if he missed?
The thought stayed in his mind for less than 0.1 seconds before he abandoned it.
Shoot as soon as you catch the ball, and shoot boldly when you have an open opportunity.
This has been repeatedly emphasized during the Nets' internal training in recent days.
That game was just an accident. Lagabell has also proved that he is a three-point shooter.
This kind of open ball should be scored, and it would be news if it didn't score.
The Nets continue to expand their lead.
The Spurs had no regrets about the ball and did not think too much about it.
They continued to attack at their own pace.
Bowen quickly served the ball from the baseline.
This round, the Nets' defense learned their lesson and quickly retreated back to their own half after scoring.
They did not leave any opportunities for the two Spurs' guards.
In the positional battle, Duncan did not choose to ask for the ball under the basket, but once again pulled to the free throw line to assist.
The Spurs started tactical running.
Parker and Ginobili crossed screens, and Ginobili suddenly went up. When it comes to the three-point line, the Nets' sensitive nerves are tense.
Duncan passed the ball directly from behind his crotch to Ginobili who was running.
Carter's defense was not comprehensive, and the Argentine seemed to have a chance to make a three-pointer.
In a corner that no one noticed, Parker ran back away from Lagabel.
Cut to the free throw line.
After Ginobili received the ball, he passed the ball to Parker under Carter's block.
Parker turned into a handsome mid-range shooter and shot at a 45-degree angle.
The mid-range shot hit!
The Spurs' counterattack was still sharp.
"Laga, keep an eye on that kid, he is too active in this quarter!"
Frank wished he couldYou have to seize every minute and every second to guide the players and remind them. This is in stark contrast to the steady and free-range players of the Spurs head coach Popovich. The Nets attacked, and Carter had already planned to attack after receiving the ball. Bruce Bowen's defense was like a sticky candy, sticking to him tightly, not giving Carter a breath of space. Roy's pick-and-roll and Duncan's long arms delayed Carter's breakthrough time. The Spurs took this opportunity to switch back to defense. For Bowen, the enemy in front of him, Carter started the breakthrough without thinking. Although Bowen's defense was very good, Carter still shook him off with a large disguise. Dribbling straight to the restricted area, the Spurs had only an old Robert Horry left under the basket. Carter jumped one step in front of the restricted area. He wanted to deal with the old guy in front of him in the air. After dodging and moving in the air, Carter He dodged Horry's arm trying to block him.
When the basketball was about to be shot,
Another black figure of the Spurs rushed into the restricted area.
Carter looked closely and found that Duncan had returned to defense.
In order to prevent his shot from being blocked, Carter controlled his falling body and dodged Duncan's seemingly inevitable block.
He made a difficult shot with his fingertips.
He couldn't control the strength of the shot while falling, and he had to face the huge pressure from Duncan.
Carter had tried his best to ensure the safety of the shot.
The basketball bounced on the hoop and was caught by Horry behind Duncan.
It's not that Carter didn't work hard. He broke through and shot, but there was only one angle in the air.
The Spurs' counterattack was extremely fast.
Ginobili hit the ground directly near the center circle. The basketball seemed to have deviated from the trajectory and no one could catch up.
Error!
Only teammates know you best. Parker accelerated in vain to get rid of Lagabel who was following him.
The short-distance starting performance of the French supercar was truly demonstrated in front of everyone in this round.
He caught up with the high-speed basketball and dribbled for a layup.
He also avoided Jefferson's blocking hand in the air and made a layup.
It seems that every time he handles the ball, it is extremely dangerous, but he can always turn danger into safety.
Is this a lucky ball?
This is his talent for fast handling of basketballs at high speed.
Popovich has unlocked his shackles. Parker in his strongest state is a bit amazing.
