Chapter 566: I'm Not the One
Duncan managed to score three points on Anjie's head, and this goal also represents the Spurs' determination to win. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Playing three-pointers, it's always a morale-boosting offense. What's more, it was Duncan who completed the ball.
When the Trail Blazers attacked again, they found that the overall morale of the Spurs was higher than before.
Lillard had just dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line. Parker suddenly sprinted as if he was dying.
Lillard immediately tried to hold the ball with both hands, but he was still a little slower than Parker.
Parker's rapid sprint allowed him to poke the ball out of Lillard's hand, but Parker's center of gravity began to get messy due to the acceleration being too fast. The guy staggered a few steps, knowing he wouldn't be able to catch up with the basketball. So he jumped and hugged the basketball that he had taken away tightly in his arms.
"Another flying save, this kind of intense scene is a lot of the time in this series."
Just as Parker was holding the ball, Leonard happened to pass by the Frenchman. Tony. Parker threw the ball forward on his stomach and sent it to Leonard with unmistakable precision!
Lillard clung to Leonard's back, but Leonard's much stronger body than Lillard allowed him to always have the upper hand.
In the end, the young Leonard carried Lillard and successfully dunked! And Lillard didn't interfere much in order to prevent the Spurs from getting another free throw.
"It was a perfect counter-attack, Tony. Parker's desperate steal was simply unexpected. "Kenny. Smith couldn't believe that the Spurs had played with the same energy and vigor that only a young team can have.
"After all, the Spurs have been pushed to the edge of the cliff, they have no way back, even if they fight with the Trail Blazers to the end, they must win!"
"Don't be afraid of Damien! Keep on the ball, steady, steady! Ricard yelled at Lillard from the sidelines, and Lillard, who made a mistake without being blamed, became more cautious and determined.
On the next offense, Lillard successfully found an open space for a layup through several passes and off-ball runs.
Seeing that Lillard was still bravely attacking, Rickard was also much more relieved. The biggest disadvantage of young players, in addition to their lack of experience, is that they tend to lose self-confidence. Rickard was worried that Lillard would be timid after being stealed by Parker, but for now, that isn't going to happen to Lillard.
The two sides went back and forth, each one playing very well, and Popovich and Ricard called a few timeouts, but neither could contain the other in the first quarter.
This situation continued until the end of the first quarter and was not broken by either side. 25-25, after 12 minutes of fierce fighting, the two sides were temporarily tied and evenly matched.
'Another draw and today both players played very well and it was a stark contrast to the fatigue of the previous game. After all, it's a back-to-back battle, and no one wants to be the first to let go. "Kenny. Smith was sweating profusely, and the great game got the guy completely engaged.
"The rest of the game is going to be very tough for the Trail Blazers." And on the other side, ESPN's Mike. Brin gave a different assessment of the situation.
"Really? But from now on, the two sides are fighting on par, right? "Mike. Brin's partner doesn't see any advantage for the Spurs.
"Now it seems that it is really comparable, but today the GDP trio played very well. The longer the game, the more trouble these three guys caused the Trail Blazers. "Mike. Brin looked serious, the most terrifying time for the Spurs is when all three of them can play a role!
"Tim, Tony, Manu. At the beginning of the second quarter, I want you all to play! According to Ricard's hiring habits, he should have Ann rested off the court early in the second quarter. This is your chance! Seize the opportunity of the Trail Blazers' rotation to open the score and establish an advantage! Popovich looked at the three people in front of him with confidence, after so many years, the Spurs have sent away many people and ushered in many new faces. But the positions of these three guys will never change, and they are also the most trustworthy.
The short intermission was fleeting, and Rickard frowned as the Spurs players came on.
Duncan, Parker, Ginobili. The presence of these three old wagons at the same time only proves one thing - Popovich wants to pull away the score.
On the Trail Blazers' side, it is true that as Popovich expected, Anjie and Aldridge and other main players are still resting, and now they have a semi-bench and semi-main lineup on the court.
"It's 2013!" Rickard said to himself that GDP was great, but that was only for their time.
The game started, and the Spurs attacked first. Batum set up a stance, and Rickard gave him the task of continuing to lock up Leonard. In Ricard's view, Leonard, the youngest player in the Spurs team now, is the most dangerous point.
However, this time, Parker's offense did not find Leonard at all, but passed the ball directly to the hands of Ginobili, who was about to go bald.
The Argentine "Demon Knife" burst out with the ball, and Matthews didn't expect Ginobili to play so resolutely, so he reacted half a beat slower.
After the breakaway, Ginobili jumped up for a layup, but his ball-handler slammed the ball into his back.
A ground-and-ground pass that doesn't look at people's backs, the target of Ginobili's pass is naturally Duncan, who retreats to the free throw line.
Meyers. Leonard thought he would be able to complete the block, but by the time he found out that Ginobili didn't have the ball in his hands, it was too late.
Duncan seemed to make a symbolic jump and took the shot. The basketball hit the neck of the basket, but fell into the net when it fell the second time.
A simple mid-range shot, but the fans at the ATT Center were excited! It's not just a mid-range shot, it's a standard GDP-style offense!
"Nice fit, no matter what the era, the Spurs trio is always full of threats!" Mike. Brin couldn't help but applaud the Spurs, and his prediction was right!
Leonard? Danny. Green? No, no, no, at the moment of life and death, you have to rely on three old carriages!
Angel glanced at Calder, the Trail Blazers leader who had clearly sensed a sense of crisis.
"Those three guys are in great shape today, you can see let's go up early. Otherwise, the score may be pulled apart. Anjie suggested to Ricard.
"Hmm." Ricard calmly agreed, and then held his chin to observe the field.
The Trail Blazers' offense ended with Batum's three-point hit. Duncan picked up the offensive rebound and immediately passed the ball to Parker.
Parker and Ginobili are two old guns that are running wild, but fortunately the Trail Blazers are fast enough to retreat, otherwise these two guys might have another flashy attack.
Fischer panted in front of Parker, but Parker didn't give Fischer a chance to breathe.
Suddenly activating and then turning quickly, Parker cleaned up Fischer, who couldn't take a step.
Face Meyers. Leonard's defense, Parker easily threw and hit. The Spurs went to the next game, and Anjie clenched his fists off the court.
In the next round, Duncan suddenly passed the ball after attracting the bag under the basket, allowing Ginobili, who was ambushed in the bottom corner, to get a three-point shot. The Argentine didn't waste Duncan's pass, and he extended the Spurs' lead to seven points with his accurate three-pointer.
"Pause, pause." Rickard finally couldn't hold back, and he thought that if the difference didn't open up quickly, he would let Anjie and them rest for a few more minutes as much as possible. But now it seems that if the Spurs' momentum is not interrupted, the point difference is likely to go to double digits.
Everyone knows the purpose of Riccard's shouting of this pause, the big war between Anjie and GDP, is about to take place!
"That guy is coming, you have to be more cautious and smarter. Remember, don't limit our offense to the perimeter just because you're on the field. This guy isn't a god, he's not invincible! Popovich tapped the tactical board.
"Defensively, if you want to equalize, we have to start defending. It's up to you whether you want to advance or go back to Portland after the game! Ricard, on the other hand, focused his tactics on defence.
The game resumed, with Matthews and Lillard serving from the backcourt and the others taking up frontcourt positions first.
An Jie is standing on the wing of one step inside the three-point line at the moment, and Duncan is naturally inseparable from him.
"Let you see how good the old guys are."
"Huh!?" An Jie turned his head suddenly, just now, it was ...... Is it the stone statue of Duncan talking to himself?
When An Jie looked over, Duncan returned to a state of expressionlessness. He is really a stone statue, but he does not possess a heart of stone. Duncan, this guy, will also be enthusiastic!
Lillard raised his hand and motioned for someone to come to the high post to block the pick-and-roll. Anjie took the lead, and he was once again in Tony. Parker's side turned into a high wall.
Duncan waited for an opportunity behind Angel, but Lillard didn't go to the side with a pick-and-roll, another fake pick-and-roll!
Seeing that Lillard surpassed his half-body size, Parker naturally did not dare to slack off and chased back with all his might. However, Lillard suddenly stepped back from his hip as he accelerated, and retreated back to the three-point line.
"Damn it!" Parker, who was originally sprinting with all his might, was shaken by Lillard, and suddenly changed his center of gravity and went backwards. At this moment, the soles of Parker's feet slipped and he fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"Oh my God! Damien. Lillard shook Tony. Parker! The entire narrator area was boiling, and everyone let out a cry of surprise in their respective languages.
Duncan reacted immediately, intending to make up for Lillard.
But when he was about to move, he found that he was blocked by An Jie's block just now!
Lillard made a decisive shot after retreating, and the arc of the basketball was a little flat, but at this moment of fear, the orange ball was still hollow into the net!
"Top 10 balls! Absolute top 10 goals! Damien. Lillard, this first-year rookie is simply amazing! Yu Jia screamed frantically, shaking Parker to shoot a three-pointer, can you imagine that this is a first-year rookie doing something?
Anjie and Lillard high-fived hard, it's true that the Spurs have GDP, but the Trailblazers are not the only Anjie!
"I'm not alone, Tim." This time, it was Anjie's turn to speak behind Duncan.
A game at the highest level in the West, I don't know how many wonderful shots will be shown to fans later.
