Chapter 358: 'It's a Legendary Match! ’
Vicky was shocked and pleased with Bowen's defense.
In the NBA, when players play offense and defense, the defender is always the underdog.
No matter how well the defender defends, the offensive player has a chance to fight for luck in the end.
Unless the defender can defend the offensive player, he won't even have a chance to shoot.
Facing others maybe, but now facing Yes!
With Yes, no defensive player in this world can do that.
Yes doesn't have a chance to make a move, what's the joke?
The god of basketball!
No one in the history of the NBA has been able to do that either.
It can be said that Bowen's defense of Yes has just reached the extreme.
Even if it's Pippen, Jordan, and Payton, their peak comeback to face Yes, it's just that!
With such a defense, even if Yes can score, he will not worry.
How much does it cost for Yes to score such an attack?
Even Yes is the most powerful physical maniac on the outside of the NBA, and he will definitely not be able to withstand such a toss!
Comparatively speaking, the offensive consumption on the Spurs' side is much less!
The strategy of the Spurs in this game is very simple, which is to use Duncan as a point to beat Milicic!
The SuperSonics now have eleven players in the playoffs.
Among the centre-forwards are only Milicic and Nick Collisson.
Milicic is talented, well-rounded, and is a first-class or quasi-first-class center in the current NBA, which is a bit difficult.
But Nick Collison is different, he is not tall, he is not fast enough to help defense, and the biggest advantage is that his skills are quite comprehensive and he can grab boards.
Nick Collisson's traits are useful against teams that don't protect rebounds well, don't have offensive routines, and don't need to help defend.
Against Spurs, it's basically a decoration.
In the superSonics' roster of players, it is naturally impossible to have only two centers.
In addition to Milicic and Collisson, there are Robert Swift and Reeve Lafrenz.
However, Robert Swift and Reeve Lafrentz are still lying in their hospital beds.
The two have been lying down for a season.
Swift is a torn cruciate ligament in no way.
LaFrentz was not as badly injured as Swift, but much less fortunate than Swift.
Swift was in a hospital bed for one season, and Lafrentz was on the operating table for one season.
This season, Lafrenz has undergone major surgery on his left and right knees and shoulders.
Not to mention playing on the court, Lafrenz is now standing a little longer, and his knees can't bear it.
Now Lafrentz is already starting his second career in the real estate market.
Can you imagine that a center at the level of a block king can now only lie in a hospital bed, sitting in a wheelchair, and care about the real estate market not basketball every day?
The SuperSonics are really difficult at the center position this season.
After studying the SuperSonics' lineup this season, he was quite shocked.
How did this supersonic get to where it is now?
If the SuperSonics can go all the way to the Western Conference semifinals and come to them, that's a miracle!
Regardless, the current situation of the supersonic is very favorable for the Spurs.
The Mavericks' No. 2 center in the West, Dampier doesn't have the strength to capitalize on the superSonic's weakness and attack Milicic.
But, Spurs have!
As long as Milicic is in trouble, the supersonic will not even have a working center in the face of the Spurs!
In this series, the Spurs' strategy is very simple, that is, to consume Milicic.
Whether it is to consume Milicic's physical strength or take the opportunity to beat Milicic into a foul crisis, it can be.
Of course, because the executor is Duncan, Duncan has the ability to play that even he finds incredible, so he will not interfere with what Duncan will do in the game.
"My intentions were really seen by Coach Nelson Sr!"
"Use Yes to defend the Spurs' ball-handler and minimize the chances of Milicic facing Parker and the Spurs from the outside."
It's a good idea indeed.
It can leave all of Milicic's valuable fouls to Thiem.
However, this is too much for Yes!
On the offensive end, he faced Bowen's extreme defense, and on the defensive end, he had to protect Milicic from being killed by the Spurs.
Supersonic, this is really giving everything to Yes.
Yes is indeed strong, but how long will he be able to hold out?
Tony Parker is looking to beat Milicic.
Draining Milicic is a strategy for the Spurs.
To Parker's regret, the defender in front of him is not the point guard Rondo he so badly wants to teach a lesson.
Standing in front of him was Yes!
Yes's defense is really strong!
His speed is top-notch in the NBA.
Coupled with the good pace and variety, it's not so difficult for him to break through a player if he really wants to.
But in the face of Yes, a rookie a few years younger than him, he could hardly find any breakthrough opportunities.
Although he can be strong, the price to pay is too great.
What you give is completely disproportionate to what you get.
Parker calmly looked for an opportunity for a while, but finally couldn't find any gaps and handed the ball to Duncan, who came over to cover him.
Duncan hit a 45-degree shot from mid-range.
It was Duncan's signature mid-range shot.
Duncan was decisive and patient in the mid-range and did not rush to kill Milicic.
2 to 2!
After Duncan hit the mid-range, the SuperSonics and Spurs were back on the same running line again.
However, judging by the way the two teams played in the first leg.
The supersonic score looks incredibly tough.
The Spurs, on the other hand, can be described as relaxed.
"This game is going to be tough for the SuperSonics!"
"SuperSonics are too conservative in their defense against the Spurs!"
Kenny Smith is not criticizing the Hypersonics.
The supersonic defense is very conservative, and there is no way to do it.
The only center that the SuperSonics can play against the Spurs is Milicic.
Nick Collison is a good bench rotation, but it would be a supersonic disaster to have him start in place of Milicic!
Nick Collison doesn't have Milicic's ability to help defend.
Nick Collison doesn't have Milicic's one-defense.
What's more, Nick Collison doesn't have the containment of Milicic on the offensive end!
Can you imagine how much defensive pressure Yes will have on the court with Nick Collison starting at the same time?
Without containment, Nick Collisson, who can't beat the blame system, will directly kill the supersonic!
Faced with such a situation, the supersonic can only use Milicic conservatively.
In this game, or even this series, the time Milicic spent on the court was more important than his defense against Duncan!
Milicic has to make sure he can be on the pitch with Yes!
Duncan's defensive pressure against Milicic in this series will not be great.
As long as Duncan doesn't take the initiative to go to the basket to kill Milicic, and Duncan shoots from mid-range, the supersonic looks like it's put on!
Duncan shot over 45 percent from mid-range during the regular season this season.
In the playoffs, facing the Jazz, not counting long-range two-point and close-range two-point shooting, Duncan's mid-range shooting rate exceeded 49.5%!
This is against the Jazz, who have a lot of defensive intensity.
In the battle between the Spurs and the Jazz, why did the Jazz let Duncan score 21 points in the fourth quarter?
Why didn't the Jazz foul Duncan 4 times in the fourth quarter instead of Duncan's opponent Boozer, but center Oku?
The reason is that Boozer's height is too short for Duncan, and Duncan's mid-range is too accurate.
In a single quarter, he was 6 of 9 from the distance, and the Jazz could only go to Oku's defense, Oku moved slowly, and it was a foul to be slightly deceived by Duncan.
It's really magical, the Jazz, who had a 6-point lead in the first three quarters, were finally stunned by Duncan's mid-range.
After the Spurs' final sprint to the regular season, Duncan's form has been fully inspired.
Now Duncan can give the Spurs a lot of options.
It's okay to kill Milicic, it's okay not to kill Milicic, it's okay to use Milicic's conservative madness on the field to score.
Milicic's defense had to be conservative.
The conservative Milicic faces Duncan, who is now in good form, and it is an ATM!
Milicic was Duncan's ATM for this game.
Bowen is not a Yes ATM!
Look at Bowen's defense against Yes right now.
Look at Milicic's defense against Duncan again!
The Spurs fans in the scene are now cheering for Bowen!
Now Spurs fans are cheering for Bowen even more than Duncan just scored two goals!
"Yes and Bowen's offense and defense are fantastic!"
"The offensive and defensive intensity of the two in this game is beyond imagination!"
Looking at Yes running past him, Parker is now breaking out in a cold sweat on his forehead!
Yes just ran past him in two quick stops and a fake run!
Who can guard against this Nima?!
Parker, who has always felt that he is a gentleman, is ready to scold his mother!
It's not just Parker who is now seeing dizziness.
Michael Finley on the field, Ginobili and Brent Barry on the field also switched in shock and rejoicing!
"Is Yes' artistic off-ball movement so strong?!"
"Is this still a no-ball run?!"
"Yes's off-ball running this time is even more terrifying than the last time!"
"Yes, there is nothing superfluous in every action on the field!"
"It's a combination of extreme talent and extreme experience!"
"But! Bowen can even defend against such an off-ball run! ”
Spurs perimeter players, both on and off the court, are now thankful that the Spurs have Bowen.
If there is no Bowen, who is the task of defense?
Defend Yes?!
This mission is too scary, okay!
Respect!
Now the Spurs players really have only respect for Bowen!
"Bruce! Bruce! Bruce! Bruce! ”
Listen to the cheers of the Spurs fans live.
Sitting in the commentary bench on the sidelines, Barkley and Kenny Smith, who were stunned by Yees and Bowen's offense and defense, looked at each other.
The Spurs fans at the scene were actually cheering for Bowen like this?!
You know, even Duncan just now didn't get such cheers!
Duncan just scored a goal and scored two points.
And Bowen, he just got two points from Yes!
In terms of results, Duncan is the winner, and Bowen is the loser!
But right now, Spurs fans cheer more for the losers than for the winners.
You can imagine how strong Bowen's defense is on the field!
It's powerful beyond success or failure!
"It's almost 24 seconds!"
"Bowen pushed Yes's supersonic offense to 24 seconds!"
Ross Barkley and Kenny Smith have commented on a lot of SuperSonics games this season.
They've never seen a player who can push Yes and the SuperSonics to such an extent on the defensive end!
"Bruce!"
"Bruce!"
"Bruce!"
The less time the supersonic offense has, the bigger the cheers from the Spurs fans at the scene!
If you just look at this game, even some people who don't watch the NBA will think that Bowen is the boss of the Spurs when they watch this game for the first time!
Will Bruce's defense succeed this time?!
Prevent Yes and supersonic speed in 24 seconds!
This was the second round of this match, and Vicky had already gotten up from his seat and came to the sidelines excitedly.
Bruce surprised him so much in this game!
"In this series, I'll have zero mistakes defensively!"
Thinking of the words that Bowen had promised him in his office before, and thinking of the stubborn, arrogant, and cold expression on Bowen's face before, for the first time, ** Vicky felt that Bowen, who always did the most humble things for him on the court, was so tall!
Vicky even has a tearful feeling right now!
A 36-year-old veteran can burst out with such potential on the court!
Fairy tales!
The whole world knows that Yes is an NBA fairy tale, and there is always a fairy tale that the impossible can happen, and only in fairy tales.
Now Vicky wants to shout out to the world: Bruce Bowen is a fairy tale belonging to the Spurs!
The potential and strength that Bruce burst out in this game can only be described as a fairy tale!
24 seconds!
24 seconds!
It's almost 24 seconds!
Vicky never imagined that he would be as excited as a fan for an offensive and defensive round!
"Yes forced a shot at 24 seconds into the game!"
Seeing Yes forcibly pull it up when there was no room for it.
**The regret in Vicky's heart flashed, and it was still not 24 seconds!
Or give Yes the opportunity to bet on destiny!
If Bruce really didn't give Yes a chance to bet on his destiny, then Bruce was the god of defense!
But!
With Bruce's defensive intensity just now, Yes's chances of betting on Destiny this time are almost zero!
This ball is impossible to hit!
Vicky is confident!
This is the confidence that Bruce's fairy tale gives him!
This is also the confidence that the fact of what he sees with his eyes gives him!
Let's strike iron!
When the basketball flew to the blue frame, when the basketball began to fall from top to bottom, Vicky almost roared in his heart!
Brush it up!
Two point hit!
The ** Vicky standing on the sidelines was instantly suffocated!
Also suffocating in an instant were the Spurs fans on the sidelines and the Spurs players on and off the court.
Can this all go in?!
“Unbelievable!”
"Incredible offense and defense!"
The whole AT&T center in the basketball brush into the net in the moment, the whole quiet is terrible!
Barkley, Kenny Smith, commentary from all over the world, the reporter was horrified that he couldn't make any extra sounds!
Even old Nelson's eyes are now wide!
What level of offense and defense is this time?!
This is the offensive and defensive intensity he has not seen a few times in more than 40 years in the NBA!
This kind of offensive and defensive strength usually appears on the final lore ball.
But this time, it's just the second round of the supersonic attack!
Suffocate!
Be quiet!
Quiescence!
The current silence of the AT&T Center stunned even the fans in front of the TV!
By the time the fans in front of the TV came to their senses, there was already a crazy 'Bruce!' on the TV. 'Barkley's roar!
"Bruce!"
"Bruce!"
"Bruce!"
Bowen looked around with wide eyes, and the Spurs fans were standing up and applauding him!
** Vic, Ginobili and other Spurs bench players standing on the sidelines are also applauding him!
In the face of Yes's attack, both defenses failed!
But he reaped the second-highest glory after entering the NBA!
Spurs fans, Spurs players, Spurs coaches are cheering him on!
Not for Duncan!
Not for Ginobili!
Nor for Parker!
Rather, cheers for him Bruce Bowen!
Let Bowen's body tremble now!
This glory, this cheering, this feeling is like a demon whispering in his ear!
Trust me, cooperate with me, support me, you can get everything you want!
Bowen turned his head mechanically and looked at the 'demon' standing in front of him who had just completed the 'extreme' attack under his 'extreme' defense.
Bruce Bowen looked at Yes with murderous eyes again!
"Bruce Bowen is provoking Yes!"
"The supersonic players rushed to Yes!"
"Spurs players rushed to Bowen!"
"The supersonic players and the Spurs players are facing off!"
Watch Bowen and Yes face off on the pitch under the protection of players from both sides.
Barkley and Kenny Smith are now so excited!
"The smell of gunpowder, the smell of gunpowder is up!"
"The smell of gunpowder in this game is up!"
"The matchup between Yes and Bowen has brought this game into the ranks of legends!"
"This Western Conference semifinals battle between the SuperSonics and the Spurs is destined to be a legendary game!"
Check out the offensive and defensive duel between Yes and Bowen in this game!
Look at the players on both sides on the pitch right now!
Let's take a look at Yes and Bowen who are looking at each other murderously at the opening scene!
This game has all the ingredients to become a legendary race!
"Who would have thought that this game, no, the protagonists of this round of the series really turned out to be Yes and Bowen!"
Incredible!
The audience at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, are all watching the miracle scene that is happening now!
Now Vicky is really excited!
Now Bruce Bowen is the perfect defensive player in his mind!
Ability and leadership are simply exploding!
Two extreme defenses, two extreme scoring.
Bruce should put pressure on Yes at this time!
At this time, Bruce just wants Yes to feel his murderous aura, his evil aura, and his domineering!
It would be better if Bruce could hammer his chest twice more at this time!
But it doesn't matter!
Bruce is now murderous and full of anger, and his domineering and explosive eyes have already expressed all his pressure and provocation against Yes!
No matter how rock-solid Yes's heart is, it will be scared by Bruce!
Didn't you see why the supersonic players were so excited to run to Yes just now?!
That's scared by Bruce!
Vicky is now really curious about what Yes is thinking, and if he will be scared by Bruce too!
Bowen: You're playing too big in this game, aren't you?
Yes: You can also not play.
Bowen:......
Yes: ......
Bowen: You're the devil!
Yes: ......
Bowen: You're the devil! Devil!! Devil!!!
Yes: That's it.
Bowen: I, I, I, that's it......
Silent eye contact!
Silent confrontation!
The eye confrontation between Yese and Bowen continued.
The heat of the scene is constantly rising!
SuperSonics players and Spurs players are also clashing!
Push and push, **add!
The bald Crawford was constantly giving in order to maintain order, beeping whistles and technical foul gestures.
Nima's!
You are a dead bald head, you dare to blow T to the second master!
I knew I was going to eat T, so I gave Parker a little harder!
However, it is not bad to be able to punch Parker in the face while there is chaos.
Who made this guy always love to look at the second master with contempt!
The second master is the king of assists, who are you TM!
Dare to despise the second master!
Do you deserve it?!
The clash between the SuperSonics and the Spurs quickly subsided with Crawford's beep.
But the heat of the game did not diminish in any way because the clash ended.
The Spurs attacked, and Duncan got another chance to attack, but this time, David Lee's help defense was in place, and Duncan distributed the ball to Bowen in the bottom corner.
Bowen faces Quentin Richardson's defense and hits a three-point shot!
5 to 4!
When Bowen hit a three-pointer, the fans at the AT&T Center, the Spurs' home stadium, were almost at their highest climax!
Even if Yes hit a three-point response in the face of Bowen's extreme defense again, and the score was 7-5 again, the Spurs fans at the scene were still chanting Bowen's name!
"What the hell am I watching?"
This series between the SuperSonics and Spurs is the most watched series of the playoffs right now.
Even Jordan, whose own team has been fishing, is paying attention.
In his opinion, what should have been an ordinary playoff-level game turned out to be like this!
Duncan's influence!
A mechanical fit for the spurs!
The concerted efforts of the supersonic players!
These are the highlights of this game!
But if this is all there is to this game, he will definitely not be as shocking as he is now!
Shocked and now they are all excited to support the TV!
Yes and Bowen's offensive and defensive duel in this game is too terrifying!
Jordan thinks his off-ball movement is the best in NBA history.
But if it's Bowen facing this game, his off-ball movement is simply unwatchable!
It's too strong!
It's really strong!
He'd never seen such a strong off-ball defender!
But in the face of such a powerful off-ball defender, Yes actually scored a terrifying 54 points in a single game!
Jordan has always felt that his off-ball ability is about the same as Yes.
Right now......
Jordan's palms were sweating on his hands holding the TV!
Yes!
He actually saw such a legendary battle!
104 to 103!
Vicky watched in amazement as the score on the live scoreboard played.
Lost?
Lost this game?!
And it was killed by Yes!
Yes threw in the lore in front of Bruce, who was extremely defensive.
The extremely restless AT&T Center fell silent in an instant!
The Spurs, who had a smooth offense and an invincible defense, actually lost?!
How did we lose?
Nobody knows!
Terrible silence!
