Chapter 33: Preparing for Detonation
The match was broadcast with Sir Charles Barkley and his old partner Kenny Smith sitting on the sidelines of the commentary podium. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Almost all the factors in the outside world have formed a spiral around this game, and I am afraid that the Spurs will not be affected in this spiral socket, or the least affected, they will definitely be in very good form tonight.
Powich will certainly not break his regular rotation for this game, but this game will definitely inspire the state and fighting spirit of the Spurs players after the fermentation of the pre-game media. And the Bobcats have long been in the locker room by Chen Mo's words to stimulate their morale.
Therefore, as soon as the game began, the two teams were rigidly entangled together.
The biggest drawback of the Spurs' roster is the small forward, especially after Bowen gets older, so they traded Richard Jefferson, but Jefferson was slow to integrate into the team system last season, and this season the situation is slightly better. However, Jefferson's form has declined, and he is still the weak link in the Spurs' system.
So, to play Spurs, the most important thing is to deal with their forwards. Their small forwards are a weakness and need to be caught and attacked. The big forward is the strong point and must be guarded against.
At the beginning of the game, Duncan held the ball in the corner area and walked to the baseline, stopped with his back, and then turned around and wiped the board to score two points for the Spurs. The whole action is done in one go, which is Duncan's signature move.
Larry Brown immediately quit off the court, "Wallace, you have to post him, allow him to go to the basket, but not let him shoot such an easy header to score." ”
If it was three years ago, the Bobcats would never have dealt with Duncan like this, and at that time, if Duncan had been put on the inside, Kwame Brown would have been blown up by the Stone Buddha. But now it's different, Duncan is getting older, let him go to the inside to toss with Kwame Brown, drain his energy, and then his efficiency will definitely drop.
Kwame Brown's offense is poor, but his defense is definitely above par. And he's strong and in good shape. The Bobcats first pestered Duncan with Gerald Wallace and then let Kwame Brown further consume him. As long as the Bobcats control their fouls and don't give Duncan an easy chance to score points, it's enough.
For a player of Duncan's level, it is impossible to strangle completely. You can only consume him, and when his physical strength drops, his efficiency will definitely decrease.
And the Spurs' starting center is their rookie selected in '07, Brazilian Split. Split only came to the Spurs this year from Spain's Tau, but he took a starting spot, mainly because McDyce is old.
The Spurs' weakness at center also gives Larry Brown the opportunity to wear Duncan down in this way.
As for Duncan's cover defense, Larry Brown deployed Jackson and Wallace to take turns squeezing Duncan with muscles. Bobcats' double-ghost slapping tactic is to use the two of them to find the core of the opponent with tough defense. Generally speaking, it is a tough defense for the ball carriers, and the Spurs are specifically harassing Duncan.
The core of the Spurs claims to be the GDP trio, but in reality, San Antonio is Duncan's team, and he is the centerpiece of this team.
Larry Brown laid out the team's defense in detail in this game, and his arrangement on the defensive end can be said to be perfect. But on the offensive end, Chen Mo's task is very heavy, and he must be able to suppress Parker. Suppressing him on the offensive end, and limiting Parker's breakthrough on the defensive end, it can be said that Chen Mo is the core of the dominant Bobcats in this game.
In the first attack of the Bobcats, Chen Mo dribbled on the left side of the three-point line, then moved sideways and slid forward, and after stopping, he shot directly at Parker's three-point shot.
When facing Chen Mo, the French sports car has no disadvantage in height, he is only two centimeters shorter than Chen Mo, but his arm span and bounce are stronger than Chen Mo. In this way, Chen Mo still dared to vote against him.
This is a completely unreasonable three-point shot, but it also declares the main theme of tonight's game.
Chen Mo's goal can be regarded as the main theme of Charlotte's Bobcats' offense tonight.
"Sir Charles, what do you think of Jack's ball?" Kenny Smith smiled as he looked at his commentary partner next to him.
Barkley said expressionlessly: "I don't think much, this is not the way he is good at scoring, if he wants to use this to beat San Antonio, then I can only respond to him with two words - hehe!"
"I know you don't like players like Jack, but do you think San Antonio will have him in the way tonight?"
"There's no need to wrap him, I've said it a long time ago, I can play ten players like him, is it necessary to wrap him?"
"But as long as he can keep scoring like this, San Antonio will definitely cover him, so if you're a coach, why don't you let a player like that go crazy on the field?"
Barkley opened his mouth and didn't answer Smith's words. What Smith said is the truth, when a pitcher like Chen Mo can score once he can go up against the defense, it's very scary, and you can't help but wrap him up.
Like the current shooters in the league, Stephen Curry, J.R. Smith, Jason Terry, these two are famous nerve knives, he can kill you once he shoots, and you can also let him go when he is not allowed.
Whether these players can wrap or not pack him depends mainly on how they feel.
Chen Mo is a little different from them, Chen Mo's shooting touch is unprecedented, and he is not a big threat, mainly because it is difficult for him to find opportunities to shoot, easy to be covered, and he can't find the opponent's space to run.
But now, Chen Mo's ability to find the opponent's space and his ability to grasp the rhythm of the shot in the face of the defender have been greatly improved, and he has a greater certainty that he can make a successful shot. So when he can always **** defend people one-on-one, the opponent's first consideration is to change the defense, if the change of defense is not good, then there is only a bag.
Coming back to the Spurs' offense, Duncan pulled to the free throw line to cover Parker, Wallace elbowed him close to Duncan, making him turn to the basket half a beat slower, and Wallace took advantage of this opportunity to block Parker's return lane. And under the basket, Kwame Brown had already pressed out, and Parker's return pass was cut off by Wallace.
Duncan complained to the referee, and the Bobcats were already fighting back.
There were two people in the Spurs' defense, but Chen Mo was the only one who went down quickly with the Bobcats, he rushed to the three-point line with the ball and pulled the ball back with a dribble under his crotch. George Hill thought that Chen Mo was going to shoot a two-point shot, and immediately pounced, but Chen Mo took a step back out of the three-point line, and then faced George Hill who pounced again, and hit a three-point shot.
There aren't many people who go under the Bobcats to break fast, but they have Chen Mo, who doesn't need to run to the basket to shoot directly to the basket.
Although Larry Brown waved his hands on the sidelines and shouted, "Damn three-pointers, you should go to the basket and do a layup, this is a fast-break opportunity, you have to get the ball to the basket in the safest way." ”
But now at Time Warner Center, who cares about Larry Brown's shouting? The frantic shouts of the fans have long since drowned out other sounds. Chen Mo held his hands high with a three-point gesture and shouted: "The night of the explosion has begun!"
The old man next to Larry Brown called a timeout after a big swearing.
