NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

Chapter 168

Popovich has only seen the Nets' momentum in videos.

The Nets, whose morale was dampened step by step by their own tactics in the finals, are back inexplicably at this time.

The game seems to be developing in an uncontrollable direction.

Popovich frowned.

He just couldn't figure out how the Nets adjusted, but he was not worried that the team would be caught up.

The Spurs are different from the Heat.

The Heat's shortcomings are obvious. Without a ball handler, the Nets can double-team Wade endlessly and equalize the disadvantage.

But the Spurs are different. The three GDP players have organizational skills.

Duncan is not comparable to the old Shark. He has almost no weaknesses at his peak.

This is also the source of Popovich's confidence and the biggest trump card of the Spurs.

The fourth quarter began with the referee's whistle.

Kid passed the ball to Carter after crossing half court.

Carter passed the ball back to Roy after a pick-and-roll with Roy outside the three-point line.

Facing Bruce Bowen, Roy already had a lot of experience.

He dribbled slowly to observe the Spurs' defensive position, and suddenly started a breakthrough.

After two steps into the three-point line, he stepped back and pulled up.

Although Bowen could defend his footsteps, his interference with Roy's shooting was extremely limited because he was taller than him.

This was also the most unsolvable part of Roy. He was mismatched against almost any opponent.

Either the big one played against the small one, or the fast one played against the slow one. At worst, he still had a young body to consume his opponent infinitely.

Before Curry appeared, the mid-range was the most deadly knife in the playoffs.

If you don't believe it, you can refer to Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Durant, and other players.

Roy has two types of mid-range shots:

One is a high-post jump shot similar to Garnett's,

The other is a mid-range shot that he practiced hard by learning from McGrady and Durant's memory.

"Shua"

Roy's shot was so powerful that Bowen, a defensive player who was strong for a while, could only stare blankly.

The first shovel of soil has just been filled in the 16-point hole,

The next step is to limit the Spurs on the defensive end,

Roy doesn't have a good way to defend Duncan,

He is too comprehensive, and the Spurs' ball movement is too smooth,

The front defense used against the Sharks will not play a good role, and may even suffer a big loss,

Therefore, Roy has been using the traditional back-to-back hard-resistance style,

In an emergency, Roy can't take care of much, and in the Spurs' offensive round

In the penalty area, Duncan and Roy are in a melee state in the key position,

Duncan has been unable to get rid of Roy's half-front entanglement,

Waiting for a while on the outside, Ginobili found that there was no chance.

He didn't want to waste time any more, so he decided to attack by himself.

In the fourth quarter, Jefferson, who was defending Ginobili, was replaced by Carter.

The half-man, half-god took the initiative to take over the opponent's toughest bone on the outside.

Unlike Wade's amazing explosive power and strength,

In Carter's eyes, Ginobili was even more difficult to deal with than Wade at this time.

He was not fast, but his excellent sense of rhythm smoothed out his physical disadvantages.

With the European step and amazing sense of balance,

and his elusive passes and wild imagination,

Carter didn't feel so at a loss when defending Wade.

Ginobili, who was crooked, broke through again and gained an advantage in the restricted area.

On the way through, he faced McGinnis's double-team and calmly passed the ball to Parker in the bottom corner.

The Frenchman ran with confidence and shot without hesitation.

Usually at this time, he would always break through after receiving the ball and then shoot.

But today, even the three-pointer, which he was not good at, Parker wanted to try.

In his eyes, the Nets were already a corpse.

The arc of his shot was not high, and the moment he shot revealed confidence.

But Roy had rushed to the bottom corner where Parker was shooting at some point, and he was desperate.

Confidence Parker was not happy for even a second, the basketball was slapped down from the sky by a yellow slap.

"Pah"

Roy slapped the ball directly out of bounds.

Parker felt the feeling of covering the sky and the sun firsthand.

"Tony, you shoot it in, who told you to shoot a three-pointer?"

Without waiting for the Spurs to serve, Popovich, who was on his own sideline, started to spray immediately.

The old man especially hated the feeling of losing control. He had warned him many times not to shoot three-pointers.

The French boy still ignored his words when he was most proud.

This was absolutely intolerable to the stubborn old man. Popovich, who came from the military, valued discipline the most.

This was also the foundation of the Spurs. Parker's moveIt directly annoyed him,

So when he served the ball on the sidelines, he felt that his eardrums were about to be destroyed by the coach.

The basketball was served, and Parker fled from the direction of the Spurs' rest area as soon as possible.

The Spurs only had 3 seconds left to attack. Ginobili dribbled and forced a three-pointer against Carter's defense.

"Ding"

Roy got stuck in position, and under the Spurs' rush, he passed the ball to McGinnis.

McGinnis took the rebound, and then he passed the ball directly to Kidd.

When the ball was about to reach Kidd's arms, a pair of hands appeared behind Kidd,

A sneak attack!

Fortunately, Kidd was experienced and blocked the opponent's body in the first place.

Then he took the pass and quickly advanced to the Spurs' half court.

Carter at the bottom line suddenly accelerated and ran back to the basket.

Kidd threw the ball to the basket at the moment when Carter had a chance.

Carter caught the ball in mid-air through Duncan who came to help defend.

He protected Duncan's long arm that was about to touch his elbow with one hand,

and dunked the ball into the basket with the other hand.

The difference was only 12 points.

The Nets' home court erupted in long-lost cheers. The home team played too depressingly throughout the game.

Will the 16-point reversal in the Eastern Conference Finals continue to happen to the Spurs?

Popovich called a timeout.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs' slack defense made him very dissatisfied. Parker even shot a three-pointer.

Does he have the ability? He doesn't!

So Parker became the target of criticism again, the typical example.

Popovich once again emphasized the defense and the mistakes on the offensive end.

The game resumed with the referee's whistle.

The Spurs patiently passed the ball on the outside.

Finally, Duncan found a chance to receive the ball in the tangle with Roy.

After getting the ball, he dribbled towards the basket step by step against Roy.

After his realistic fake move shook Roy away, he turned around and made a small hook shot under the basket.

In front of Roy's strenuous block, it still escaped his fingertips.

Duncan's singles are the Spurs' mainstay.

This time, he didn't let his teammates Disappointed,

The hook shot rubbed the backboard and fell into the basket,

The Spurs stabilized the situation, and the Nets' rhythm of chasing points was interrupted,

Popovich's adjustment was effective again,

But the Nets had made up their minds and directly accelerated the offensive rhythm,

Without a chance to stop after Duncan scored, Jefferson quickly served the ball and Kidd rushed forward,

Before Duncan and Horry had time to return to defense,

Roy had already penetrated the Spurs' basket,

Kidd hit the ground from a long distance,

In a hurry, Ginobili directly reached out and grabbed Roy's jersey,

"Beep"

The referee's whistle sounded.
