MM Racing Chapter 173
Chapter 173
Popovich stood up from his chair.
Although Duncan is often said to be a background player, this is the first time he has been blocked so completely in recent years.
The opponent is a freshman, which is incredible.
Even Duncan, nicknamed "Stone Buddha", waved his fist in anger.
Now he looks at Roy differently.
The Spurs have the ball, and there are 11 seconds left on the offense.
Duncan has never wanted to score this goal as much as he does now. His position under the basket is responded by his teammates.
The ball is quickly passed to him.
He needs to let the young people behind him know what is high in the sky and what is thick in the earth!
Step by step, he went in for a single play. Everything went as Duncan expected.
Until the moment he got the ball and was about to stand up,
Kidd in the corner gave up on Bruce Bowen, who was defending him,
and turned around and reached out to Duncan.
The move was unexpected and extremely fast.
The veteran's legs were just old, and his skills would only get better with age.
Joining forces with Roy to attack from the front and back, Duncan's single play plan was completely ruined.
Despicable New Jersey man!
Duncan was a little annoyed, but he had lost the chance to get up and shoot.
Seeing that there was not much time left for the attack, he had to either shoot himself or pass the ball.
Duncan looked at the countdown on the timer with only 3 seconds left.
He could only jump up and turn around behind Roy's long arms and shoot the ball in a difficult way in an almost twisted way.
Roy did not reach Duncan's shot.
Duncan's basketball did not reach the basket.
Three misses, Duncan shot a bridge directly with only a few shots left.
Jefferson blocked Robert Horry behind him and took the rebound.
He immediately passed the ball to Kidd.
The tacit understanding developed over the years with Kidd.
After taking the rebound, he immediately looked for Kidd. This has been engraved in Jefferson's DNA.
Kidd dribbled the ball quickly and passed the ball long distance before halftime.
Carter had passed halftime and received the basketball outside the three-point line.
Bruce Bowen tried to steal the ball from behind, but was easily dodged by Carter's dribble from behind.
His gambling steal made him lose his position.
Carter had a clear road ahead.
The two inside players of the Spurs had just passed halftime.
Carter had already rushed into the restricted area.
Under the basket of the Spurs, Parker and Ginobili not far away quickly shrank.
For a shooting guard of Carter's level,
the opponent's defense at this time was just two or three kittens and puppies.
Carter started to accelerate and rushed to the basket at high speed. Parker, who wanted to commit an offensive foul, finally did not have the courage.
Carter, who was full of power, was like a small tank driving at high speed.
Then he took off into the air. It takes courage and guts to commit such an offensive foul.
France trotted back.
No enemy could defeat them before France surrendered, and no player could dunk over Parker under the basket.
He slipped away. Even if he tried to stop the car with his arms, he would still be ruthlessly crushed and dunked by Carter.
Dunking was just a result and could not be changed at all.
Without a defender in front of him, Carter stretched his body after taking off.
He swung his arms and dunked with a tomahawk-like force.
The dunk made the basket squeak.
The Nets fans at home cheered loudly. This was the game they wanted to see.
This was the Nets team they were familiar with.
It was full of passion and violent aesthetics.
After Carter successfully dunked, he did not forget to show his signature motorcycle celebration.
The Nets really needed such a wonderful start.
Coach Frank clenched his fists. In the first minute or so of the game, his team performed almost perfectly.
After receiving the serve at the baseline, Parker glanced at head coach Popovich.
He found that the coach was not only staring at the court,
with an indifferent expression, and seemed to have no intention of interfering with the progress on the court.
Parker knew that the coach was letting the team play normally.
After halftime, he found several opportunities to break through, but they were all blocked by Lagabel.
Compared to Kidd's defense, Parker really hated Lagabel in front of him.
Although the opponent's speed was not as fast as his, he was able to block his first few steps.
Besides, once the body contacted, Parker's weight and height were at a disadvantage, and Lagabel's small movements did not stop at all.
The team's offense would also stagnate. He had no choice but to dribble the ball out of the three-point line and give the ball to Ginobili.
The Pampas Eagle was going to soar. After he got the ball, he made a fake move to attract Carter's attention and startedHe accelerated,
But his speed was just average. Carter was stunned by him but still caught up with him from the side.
It was the European step with the snake-like breakthrough.
Carter's strong physical fitness still allowed him to find the shooting space.
At this time, Roy had already arrived to make up for the defense.
Ginobili's passing route to the basket was blocked.
Fortunately, Bowen, who was ambushing in the bottom corner, came to respond. After Bowen took the ball, he dribbled two steps inside and passed it again.
Duncan finally circled back and shot the ball after receiving it.
From this round, we can see how strong the Spurs' ball transmission is.
Even when the offensive time is running out, he still chooses to pass the ball and trust his teammates.
Finally, Duncan found this opportunity.
Jefferson picked up the basketball on the ground and passed it to Kidd.
Kidd took two steps and passed it to Carter. Carter accelerated slowly.
The Spurs retreated in time. Carter saw that there was no chance.
After half-court, he waited for his players to get into position.
Roy went to the three-point line and directly screened with Carter.
Roy cut outside the three-point line. Carter did not choose to force the ball against Duncan.
Instead, he passed the ball to him the moment Roy cut out.
Facing Bowen who switched defense, Roy received the ball and raised his hand to shoot from outside the three-point line.
Although Bowen did not lose his position, Roy still chose The shot,
Because Bowen was the biggest mismatch after the switch,
The basketball flew over the Spurs players' heads until it passed through the net with a crisp sound,
"Swish"
This is the power of Carter and Roy's pick-and-roll,
Roy's silky touch doubled the threat of this tactic,
Carter's judgment on defense has improved greatly this season,
No longer the embarrassment of holding the ball alone and facing all the opposing players in the Raptors last season,
Now playing in the Nets highlights a reasonableness.
7 to 2
The Nets' opening was very pleasant,
Popovich off the court still chose to believe in his players' ability to adjust and adapt to the intensity of the game.
Parker served the ball from a very long distance, Ginobili took the ball and advanced quickly without waiting for everyone.
Standing at the far end, he received Parker's pass, crossed the half court in a few steps, and then began to accelerate.
Carter and Jefferson were chasing him closely behind him.
Still immersed in Roy's three-pointer, he didn't notice that Ginobili had slipped away.
Parker was already accustomed to Ginobili's running position.
He chose to pass the ball from a long distance without hesitation at the first time, which proved this.
Ginobili dunked with one hand before Carter arrived.
It is obvious that the Spurs did not choose to be perfunctory today.
This opponent can always give the enemy a strong blow at any time.
