Chapter 521 [Spurs Demon Sword, where the pros and cons are]

Chapter 521 [Spurs Demon Sword, where the pros and cons are]

The Spurs attacked, and the players spread out and passed back and forth on the perimeter, looking for opportunities without rushing.

Mohamed was in charge of the pick-and-roll in the middle. Parker broke through with the ball, attracted Rashid's defense and passed it to the right to Duncan.

Duncan was far away from the basket, and feinted with both hands with the ball at 45 degrees. Yao Ming came out to interfere with the shot. Duncan changed his direction to break through from the bottom line and passed Yao Ming to the basket, attracting Rasheed to make up the defense. The ball was sent from the opponent's side to the left, Mohammed received the ball open, jumped up one step, and made a one-handed dunk. 0 to 4.

The blue collar scored 4 points in a row at the start, and the Spurs attacked in an unusual way.

The Lakers attacked, and the "drug combination" played the pick-and-roll in the middle. Duncan still defended the same way. He blocked Kobe first, so that he couldn't break through easily. He could only make a jumper. As soon as Bowen caught up, Duncan moved to the middle to block Yao Ming. Break the line, or keep your distance to interfere with the shot.

In the first two rounds, Garnett and O'Neal would also defend like this, but the effect was worse.

Garnett can't defend against Yao Ming's strong attack and has poor confrontation ability; O'Neal Jr. doesn't have Duncan's sense of defensive distance.

If you take one more step when switching guards inside, you may expose flaws.The Spurs don't have such obvious flaws on the defensive end, so Bowen and Duncan are both regulars on the All-Defensive Team, and they have a tacit understanding on the defensive end.

Yao Ming was a little uncomfortable with Duncan holding the ball in the face frame and couldn't shoot.

Now Duncan is still at his peak, his body is superior, and he has a perverted wingspan of 230CM. Shooting in front of him will definitely be disturbed.What Duncan hates is Stoudamire's type of inside line. The speed of the empty cut after the pick and roll is very fast, making him too late to cut the line. Yao Ming lacks that kind of mobility.

There is no perfect league star, one thing falls to another, Yao Ming is not easy to play against Duncan.

On the side, Xiao Mo’s running position was blocked by Mohammed, and then he passed Rasheed. The latter squeezed Parker and dribbled the ball to the basket. When Duncan retreated to make up the defense, he distributed the ball to Yao Ming in the middle. As a result, Bowen suddenly came from the side. Killed out, broke the basketball.

Bowen's physicality has dipped slightly compared to when he was with the Knicks, and his defensive anticipation is getting better and better.

Ginobili rushed out from the left, received a pass from Bowen, and made a single fast break.

Iguodala returned to the defense quickly, Ginobili pulled the ball near the free throw line, took a step to the left, approached Iguodala, quickly changed direction to the right while running, twisted his body and ran away from the opponent He walked over, jumped up and picked the basketball in with his low hand. 0 to 6.

Against the Spurs, Yang Rui was not so relaxed on the sidelines. He didn't carry a pack of snacks to eat on the sidelines, thinking about how to better suppress the Spurs.

In the opening paragraph, Popovich was very well prepared, and the players performed well on both ends of offense and defense.

Kobe still played the pick-and-roll with Yao Ming. This time, he chose to do it himself, dribbled the ball to the bottom line on the right, and Bowen caught up.

He leaned against Bowen with his back at 45 degrees, turned to the baseline and avoided the cover and made a fallback jumper. The action was very beautiful, but the arc of the ball was a bit flat and it bounced out of the frame.Duncan card bit grabbed the backcourt rebounds.

The Spurs attacked, and after passing back and forth a few times, Duncan moved the ball to Ginobili in the right corner.

The "Argentine Demon Knife" faced Iguodala, feinted with the ball, and then changed direction to 45 degrees. After attracting Iguodala to move laterally, he dribbled the ball from his back to his right hand, quickly changed to the bottom line, and succeeded again. .

Manu Ginobili's movements are unique, seemingly unsteady, but effective.

Iguodala has the body to become a super defensive player. His explosiveness, lateral speed and strength are good, but he is only a rookie after all, inexperienced, and his defensive skills are less effective.In the zone defense system, players are mainly stationed. He can't always guard Bowen and must meet more challenges.

Yao Ming made up the defense at the basket, Ginobili jumped and passed the ball lightly to the left, Mohammed cut to the basket, took the ball and shot, and scored from close range. 0 to 8.

Yao Ming couldn't turn around in time, and he couldn't defend against the basket even if he was tall.

Mohamed smiled happily when he returned to defense, and clapped his hands with Ginobili. He can score 6 points in a game, which is considered normal on the offensive end. Today, he is expected to score in double figures.

Kobe got rid of under the cover of Yao Ming, caught the ball on the left with three threats, and suddenly made a 60-degree mid-range shot to avoid Bowen's block, and the ball was scored! 2 to 8.

Although the goal was scored, the Lakers did not cooperate, and only depended on the individual ability of the star.

The Spurs attacked, and Duncan gave Ginobili a screen to help him get rid of the pass from Parker. He feinted with the ball, which attracted Kobe’s defense focus to improve, break through with the ball, and make a quick stop-and-shoot in the middle. 2 to 10.

Yao Ming did not defend from the bottom line, and Rasheed followed Duncan and did not defend from the side.Ginobili's opening performance was the most eye-catching, combining sudden points and shots.

Yang Rui was the first to request a suspension.If you continue to use the zone defense, the Lakers will be difficult to defend.

Spurs players will continue to use screens to create opportunities, and even Mohamed plays a role. He cuts inside to receive passes and can score from close range.

Through the contest in the regular season, Popovich knew the Lakers' strengths and weaknesses, and asked players to make breakthroughs, reduce jump shots, and score at the basket.Even if you can't score, try to make a foul on Yao Ming.

Yang Rui made a substitution, Rashid left the field early, and Dior was brought in, adding a short striker.

Zhang Lili was puzzled: "Yang Rui's substitution this time is a bit confusing. Why should he play Dior, who can't shoot three-pointers? Now Yao Ming is alone in the inside line, with one big and four small."

Partner Yu Jia said: "He should be to strengthen the defense against breakthroughs. The Spurs inside Mohamed is a blue-collar and can only attack in the low post. Yao Ming doesn't have to defend. But if Duncan catches the ball on the perimeter and lets Diao defend, it will be too much. Barely."

Regardless of Duncan, Yang Rui first wanted to guard against Ginobili.

Duncan is the cornerstone of the Spurs. On the offensive end, he can score more than 20 points quietly, usually only more than 20 points, and rarely shoot consecutively.

Manu Ginobili is the team's sharp knife.He is the most powerful offensive player with the ball, and has a very strong scoring explosiveness. Once the wind is convulsed, he is unstoppable.

This season, Ginobili's strength has reached the peak of his career.In Yang Rui's previous life, the Spurs were able to defeat the strong Pistons in the 2005 Finals. Ginobili was the number one player on the outside and could compete with Duncan for the Finals MVP, averaging 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4 assists per game.

Yang Rui was very impressed with that series, and he clearly didn't focus on Ginobili's fate. In games 2005, 1, and 2 of the 7 finals, Ginobili's performance was very high.At that time, it was Rasheed Wallace who was responsible for the main defense of the pick-and-roll inside the Pistons, and he couldn't prevent it.

The key moments of that series couldn't be played together. The Spurs relied on Ginobili to play hard. The Pistons knew that he was going to attack, but they couldn't defend. The Pistons' defense could be recorded in history.

In the few games that the Pistons defended, Hamilton was used to entangle Ginobili, and Prince was used to defend against pick-and-rolls. Ginobili played poorly in games 3, 4, and 5, and was therefore questioned as an away bug.

Yang Rui firmly believes that it is the right choice to deploy a small man at this time to enhance mobility.

The game continued, Diao showed his power when he came on the court, and the middle road took on the heavy responsibility of organization. Yao Ming went to the right to cover Mo Williams and helped him get rid of Parker.Duncan went to the flank to defend and was attracted.

Diao didn't pass his teammates, took the ball and looked to the side, suddenly changed direction with the ball and passed Mohamed, and scored a layup. 4 to 10.
