Chapter 36: The Playoffs (Part II)

"Shi, in the second quarter you stay on the court, remember your tasks, maintain your defensive intensity, you did a good job just now. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Popovich's sudden praise surprised Shi Lei.

Shi Lei's defense just now was not as "very good" as Popovich said, at most it could only be regarded as decent and there was no fault.

He keeps a close eye on Anthony, but in the overall defensive operation of the team, Shi Lei, who rarely has the opportunity to cooperate with the main team, can hardly be said to be qualified.

This is Popovich's art of commanding, and in order to prevent this restrained cheap rookie from being oppressed by the sudden burden he carries, he has to help decompress.

Shi Lei thought he would be replaced by Bowen, and Popovich's words made him a little dazed.

"Bruce, give Mr. Anthony to Stone, and you're in charge of helping Tony, fancy their All-Star point guard, and don't let the Musketeers have a chance to communicate with each other."

Popovich didn't pay attention to Shi Lei's reaction, but quickly conveyed his tactical intentions, and finally he told Bowen: "Pay attention to your defensive scale and try to control fouls." ”

Tony. Parker, Shi Lei, Bowen, this is the Spurs' outside lineup in the second quarter.

As a flower prospect in the 03rd Golden Draft year, although Anthony did not get very convincing results and honors, and was not very mature in many aspects, he really had almost no natural enemies in one-on-one confrontations.

Every so-called defensive warrior actually has one kind of physical defect. Wallace, short stature, not very stable in the lower game, and even less talented in offense, Bowen, with mediocre physical fitness, has no speed and no strength. Anyone with some talent, no one will choose to become a blue-collar who can only defend.

And Shi Lei, who was originally a substitute for Bowen specially cultivated by the Spurs, has a very good strength, can cope with almost all the outside lines without falling behind, and his defensive skills are inherited from the Spurs' outside defense core Bowen. There may be a bit lacking in speed, but the opponent needs to control the basketball, which more or less makes up for it.

When the two sides re-entered the game, the Nuggets continued their strategy in the first quarter, handing the basketball to Anthony, who had fallen silent after Bowen went down.

Anthony's triple threat is no threat to Shi Lei, Shi Lei will not hinder him from passing, that is Bowen's job, Shi Lei mainly defends Anthony's breakthrough, again to interfere with his shooting.

"Don't try to block a super scorer", Bowen once told Shi Lei, Shi Lei can't do that, but he can make Anthony spend more energy and more means every time he scores.

Facing a simple defensive blue-collar with strength and good defensive skills, Anthony suddenly felt uncomfortable. What's even more terrifying is that when Anthony switched to back-to-back singles, he found that his opponent's low-post defense seemed to be stronger.

It was a discovery that shocked him!

Of course, facing a scorer like Anthony is a defender's greatest misfortune, and when this person is a rookie with little experience, his fate is - end!

Shi Lei did a good job of completing the task given to him by Popovich in this game, but fell into a foul crisis, and when the game entered the third quarter and was about to end, Shi Lei was fouled and was punished.

In the nearly 17 minutes he played, Shi Lei didn't score a point, picked up two rebounds, and handed out an assist. Well, it's rubbish data, so after the game, he was ignored by all the media, and there was no report about his words, even the Chinese media, which was embarrassed to publish the words "angrily chopping" two rebounds or something like that.

However, Shi Lei's role in this game was not only to limit Anthony, he also freed Bowen, and when Bowen went to defend Iverson, he was equivalent to freeing the whole team. The Nuggets have never had a very deep bench lineup, the whole universe knows that this is a two-person team, and when Anthony and Iverson are both limited, the Nuggets' end is doomed.

Spurs were still the Spurs in the first game, and their points were even three points lower than the first, but they still won this game, because compared to the previous game, the "Golden Gunner" only scored 40 points.

Although the Spurs allowed Martin to grab 8 rebounds and Camby to grab 18 rebounds, Duncan grabbed only 14 rebounds.

Shi Lei doesn't care much about these, he is most concerned about how long it will take him to match White.

Back at their home court, the support of the fans did not allow the Nuggets to play the rhythm they are good at, their offense was completely disrupted by the Spurs, and every time they decided to steal points, Popovich, who already had confidence in Shi Lei, would replace him to defend Anthony.

Of course, because of Shi Lei's lack of offensive ability, the Spurs' scoring will be greatly restricted, but Popovich doesn't care, he is used to this way of playing, and he is good at leading the team to the final victory in this way.

Wave after wave of flats, no one's resilience can never be exhausted like the waves, always maintaining turbulence, and the Nuggets are lost in the Spurs' defensive maze in this self-mutilating defense.

Although with the advantage of the home field, they let Shi Lei appear one after another, and received his graduation certificate in less than one quarter and did it on the sidelines.

The aggregate score between the two sides became 2:1, which is not yet a score that makes the situation clear, but the media has begun to wait to sing the Nuggets.

"It's a joke to put two superstars together who can't produce chemistry."

"Iverson never won a championship, and his basketball was a mistake."

"That's the answer."
