Chapter 404: Popovich's Sigh
Shi Lei's action murdered a lot of films, and the reporters with cameras in their hands included this scene in their own materials. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The leading Celtics were in the mood to celebrate, but the trailing Spurs did not have such time, and after a long high-five of the players on the sidelines in the same situation, the Spurs' on-court bench immediately surrounded Popovich with a tactical board in his hand.
The whiteboard pencil was waved in Popovich's hand, and his loud tactical arrangement was faintly captured by the fans not far behind them through the high-pitched cheers of the fans, which naturally attracted a large wave of boos for himself.
Rivers was much more calm and calm in comparison, and he didn't have much to say as the Celtics' benches spent the rare two-minute break in their chairs.
"At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, the two sides were still played by substitute players, and the Celtics quickly opened up the difference by six points in the minute and a half minutes of coming off the bench to see if the Spurs could suppress the Celtics' offense after adjustment!"
The team's bench lineup seems to be vulnerable in front of Shi Lei, but Popovich knows that it is not because their lineup is weak, on the contrary, their bench strength is to lead the Celtics, and the only reason for falling behind is that they do not have the player in the team who can effectively defend Shi Lei, which is not something that can be done by simple personnel adjustments.
Although they still have Bowen the best defensive player in the bench, past games have proven that Bowen is never the best player to defend those who are strong and have a height advantage.
House dribbled past half court, immediately handed the ball to Shi Lei, and then ran near the baseline to make a look like he was going to slip the bottom line, and his run took away Ginobili.
This is different from the situation in the first quarter when other players were let go and most of the defensive attention was focused on themselves, Shi Lei couldn't help but carefully observe the defensive positions of all the Spurs players. For the defense of the Spurs, Shi Lei is always wary. Having been on this team for a year has shown him how serious this team is about defending.
Shi Lei held the ball and quickly ran to the other side of the court, but when he reached the 45-degree angle of the basket, Shi Lei suddenly turned around and stuck Udoka, who was following him.
Seeing that Shi Lei was about to form a breakthrough, the Spurs' defense was still unmoved.
Shi Lei immediately sat back two steps in a row and sat Udoka directly into the free throw line. Regardless of height, weight, or strength, Udoka is not Shi Lei's opponent, advancing to this place, Shi Lei can pose a threat to the Spurs' basket, but before he turned around, the defense arranged for him by the Spurs immediately rushed over to encircle him.
The Spurs are a team with strong overall defensive ability, which is fully reflected at this time, and in this extremely short response time, Mason and Bonner, who pounced on each other, deliberately blocked Shi Lei's passing route.
Shi Lei frowned, suddenly gave up turning around, and resolutely broke through sideways from the side of the court.
Mason, who was running towards Shi Lei in this direction, adjusted his running position, and then firmly planted his heel on the floor.
Uduka was still tightly wrapped around Shi Lei's left side of his body, which made Shi Lei only choose the right side when choosing to change direction. However, Shi Lei went the opposite way, his body changed to the right, but he suddenly moved the center of gravity of his body to the left side, and this time he carried Udoka.
In the time to get such a trace of free movement, Shi Lei's body seemed to turn into a huge spinning top, and he came to the other side around Udoka, who was a little stumbling. But in this direction, Bonner, who is two meters and one by one, holds his hands high, like a tall mountain.
After a series of changes of direction, Shi Lei seemed to have lost the ability to change direction again, and his body suddenly arched into Bonner's arms.
Like a cunning beast finally caught, the Spurs' defense immediately contracted, and Mason and Udoka, who came closely, locked Shi Lei in Bonner's arms on the left and right.
However, when they did all this, they heard cheers, which gave them the illusion of being in San Antonio.
"Beautiful passes, very perfect passes, Stone completely disrupted the Spurs' defense with his own breakaway, which gave the slow action of the fat man Glenn. Davis has plenty of shooting time! ”
Yes, the basketball is no longer in Shi Lei's hands, at this time, it has passed through the net, attracted to the floor by the gravitational pull of the earth.
Seeing this, the three defenders of the Spurs liberated Shi Lei with a little embarrassment.
Shi Lei, who was finally freed, was already flushed at this time, and as soon as he left Bonner's arms, he immediately complained: "Hey, man, you should stay away from cheap perfumes!" ”
Bonner: "......."
For Shi Lei, although he has lived here for more than two years, it is still difficult for Shi Lei to adapt to the fact that those white and black people are keen to use very strong perfumes. Well, mainly those perfumes, most of which can't completely hide their unpleasant body odor.
Being scolded as a "poor ghost", Bonner's mood can be good then to see the hell, which makes Bonner's face even more ugly when he didn't do it defensively. But what could he do? Even if this is San Antonio, Shi Lei has a lot of privileges in the stadium, not to mention that this is still Boston. So Bonner could only swallow his anger.
"You hurt me, but you laughed it off......"
Under the gaze of Bonner's ugly expression, Shi Lei smiled and waved to the fans who cheered for him, and slowly ran back to his half.
The Celtics extended the margin to eight points, and in the face of a three-man wrap-up defense, Shi Lei passed the ball to assist teammate 'Big Baby' Davis to hit a shot. In such a short period of time, with such defensive intensity, Shi Lei can still accurately find the position of his teammates, which shows how good his overall view is! ”
It was impossible for Popovich to hear Director Zhang's explanation at this time, but his mood was the same as Director Zhang.
"What a great vision and passing ability, if I had given him a decent contract instead of signing James. White, I believe that with Thiem's assistance, the Spurs can still have at least ten years of championship competitiveness! ”
Yes, this is the truest thought in Popovich's heart, which is to assist, just like the season when Duncan was first selected, Popovich immediately made up his mind to put the core of the team. Robinson is in the position of second master!
But the past can't be traced, no matter what Popovich thinks in his heart now, he can only look at Shi Lei with a sigh. (To be continued.) )
