Antetokounmpo and Leonard, they used to be very similar.

They both caught the scouts' attention with their terrible physical condition, but at the same time kept other teams away with their inadequate skills.

Ultimately, it was Henson who boldly believed in their talent. As everyone knows, both are now in the top five forwards in the league.

What will happen to the matchup between the two league's top five forwards is over, and everyone will be answered when the game resumes.

Vicky stood nervously on the sidelines, chasing eight points in 2 minutes, which is almost every offense that cannot be missed. Once a chance is wasted, there is basically no chance that the Spurs will turn the tables around.

Vicky yelled at Parker, saying something that Henson didn't hear. But he believed Parker must have heard it. Because after the vicky roared, Parker suddenly slowed down the pace of the half.

Seeing this, Henson immediately understood Vicky's strategy. The Spurs are trying to slow down the tempo and wait for Aldridge to settle down!

After all, now, Channing. Frye is arguably the Pacers' biggest defensive weakness on the court.

"Hold on, old man!" Henson muttered to himself in his heart, as long as Frye can prevent this attack, the Spurs will have already stepped off the cliff with half a foot!

As soon as Aldridge received the ball, Frye immediately went into confrontation. He pushed Aldridge out in an attempt to keep him away from the basket.

Aldridge is certainly not a general, but don't think he's a weak chicken if he gives Antetokounmpo 40 points today.

Aldridge is not weak, it's just that Antetokounmpo is too strong today......

Seeing that Frye was defending himself, Aldridge took advantage of the situation and turned around and rushed to the basket!

The top defense can indeed effectively prevent the opponent's forced back squeeze, but for the flexible interior line, the top defense is very easy to be broken through.

Aldridge's turn cleared up Frye, but it was okay, Brooke. Lopez aggressively rushed to the basket and didn't give Aldridge an easy layup.

Seeing Lopez coming back from the defense, Aldridge's first reaction was to find Dedmon! That guy's mid-range shooting is still very solid, and the shooting percentage is very impressive when no one is marked!

Aldridge had a good idea and his passing was very quick. But just as Dedmon was making a shot, Channing. Frye actively sealed it. Frye's individual defense ability may not be strong, but his perseverance and experience allow him to often complete timely defenses.

Although Dedmon had a shot, he was not as accurate as George. In the face of Fry's interference, Dedmon's mid-range jumper really knocked out of the frame!

"!" Vicky scolded, Aldridge should be strong himself, at least there is a chance to score goals and make fouls!

It's not good to go too far with anything, and so is prudence.

Now, this round of defense for the Spurs has become even more crucial. If the Pacers widen the margin to double digits in the final minute or so, Vicky can replace all of his main players early.

Thankfully, this time, Paul's throw was a little bit stronger. It went over Dedmon's fingertips, but it hit the neck of the basket.

With 1 minute and 20 seconds left in the game, the difference is still 8 points, and the Spurs still have a chance!

This time, Parker glanced at Vicky again as he advanced with the ball, but Vicky didn't say anything.

This means that he does not intend to let Aldridge attack again. The offensive opportunity will come to Leonard.

Spurs are a team team, but that doesn't mean they don't have an offensive focus in the final moments. After all, attacking at critical moments cannot follow the principle of egalitarianism.

As soon as Leonard received the ball from outside the three-point line, Antetokounmpo opened his arms and pressed it. Leonard's height of 2 meters combined with an arm span of 2.21 meters is enough to put most players away.

And Antetokounmpo's height of 2.11 meters combined with an arm span of 2.19 meters makes him even more like an insurmountable high wall.

Leonard isn't stupid, and he's not the kind of player with extreme individual heroism. So, he passed the ball back to Parker, then ran out through Aldridge's cover, and then received Parker's pass before he began to break through!

But Leonard had just rushed out two steps before he was pinned down by Antetokounmpo. Compared with the pace, Antetokounmpo is not inferior to Leonard at all.

Leonard is not Aldridge, and he is well aware that he is now the hope of a turnaround for the Spurs. So, he doesn't pass the ball whenever he gets in the way.

So Leonard gave Antetokounmpo a hard look, then accelerated to the side of the basket and threw the ball to the basket with just a little space.

Leonard's fighting ability, pace, and reach made him a tried trick again and again. Usually, a defender is either knocked off by him at the first time, or he doesn't get knocked off but can't keep up with him. Even if he was able to keep up without being knocked off, Leonard's last throw was beyond the reach of the defenders.

But in front of Antetokounmpo, none of this matters!

He was not carried away and kept up. And when Leonard finally made a shot, Antetokounmpo could still jump high, and with Leonard's long arms and more dominant height, he shot the basketball directly out of the bottom line!

The basketball rushed to the stands like a cannonball that was bursting out, and the fans dared to catch it with their hands, but could only reflexively avoid it!

This shows how powerful this seal is!

"Again, Janis. Antetokounmpo is already the second time to block Leonard's attack today! Lovely Kawai, he met a guy who was even more physically fit than himself! ”

There was only one minute left on the clock, and the difference was still 8 points. Vicky buried his head, he was completely defeated today by Henson and the guy whose name filled the back of the shirt.

But at the same time, Vicky also felt a little happy.

With the current Pacers, Henson wants to challenge the Warriors, maybe there will really be a play!

Antetokounmpo's fifth block today can be regarded as burying the Spurs' hopes of winning. Although the offensive ball is still in the hands of the Spurs, after being solidly blocked, Leonard's self-confidence will be somewhat affected.

Sure enough, the Spurs organized an attack for the second time, and Leonard directly chose to shoot three-pointers. But alas, Leonard didn't make it to the hero today. Antetokounmpo's interference forced the forward, who was not good at shooting threes, to turn up the arc. And Leonard's arc was adjusted, and suddenly there was no crosshair.

Paul grabbed the defensive rebound himself and then made a long pass straight to the backcourt like a quarterback on a football field.

The camera follows the basketball across the court, and it is only then that people realize that Antetokounmpo has already run to the front court.

The timing of the basketball drop was just right, and Antetokounmpo unloaded the basketball with a flick of his hand.

Then, without even dribbling the ball, he took two big strides and put the ball in the basket lightly.

The 42nd point of the game, the game is over!

Leonard crossed his waist, his face still expressionless. But Henson knew that guy must be feeling bad right now.

In the end, the Spurs really couldn't complete the comeback. The Pacers finished the Spurs 118-110 at home.

And Antetokounmpo's performance of 42 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 5 blocks undoubtedly proves that he is indeed worth the price of 100 million in 4 years.

For this game, Henson and Antetokounmpo told everyone. Even a player who is "against the times" can become a superstar as long as his own level is excellent.

Scoring 42 points without shooting a three-pointer is a rare occurrence indeed.

After the match, Henson warmly shook Vicky's hand. Vicky called using a player like Antetokounmpo to cheat at all, and Henson also complained that Vicky's use of Leonard was "plagiarism" at all.

Although they are very sassy, the relationship between Vicky and Henson is actually very harmonious.

After saying goodbye to Vicky, Henson had prepared a bunch of sarcastic words for the young CBS reporter. But after waiting for a long time, I still haven't seen the reporter.

So the Chinese coach had no choice but to shake his head, and the high-spirited reporter ran away with his tail between his legs before the game, which was really boring.

If only everyone were like Spike back then. Li is so stylish, he can afford to play and lose, how interesting this alliance should be.

This year's sunspots, the strength is not very good.
