Chapter Eighty-Nine: Ginobili
So all the fans who were present today, there were eight CDs who didn't take this game to heart, and they came to express their support for Li Ming's post-match press conference.
All fans only hope that Li Ming will do one thing after the game, that is, to scare, which makes Jack embarrassed.
Li Ming also felt a warm feeling in his heart when he listened to these cheers, no wonder they all said that the home fans were the cutest! Now we can be regarded as people with a mother's family.
Full of motivation, there is a natural desire to perform in my heart.
Li Ming shook off Murray in a few cross-steps, and went around to the three-point line from Lopez, who was helping to block and dismantle, and raised his hand to make a three-pointer.
The ball went in, and the cheers suddenly became louder.
"Wow! It seems that off-the-field factors have not affected Li Ming's state! The first three points of the day went straight in! "A domestic news sports also broadcast this game today, and the turmoil of foreign reporter Jack questioning Li Ming also spread to China, and all the fans in China are naturally indignant, why do we say that our Chinese players are chewing medicine:
"This shows that they say that it is also appropriate to chew medicine, after all, gringos, can only be players of their own nationality who perform well!"
"This group of shabi stuff just doesn't clean up, look at how Li Ming killed them this time!"
"Support Li Ming to sue that Shabi reporter to death! Let him question the Chinese players, isn't it uncomfortable for him to find it?! ”
The message board left messages one after another, and it looked quite relieving.
And Li Ming, who was on the court, also held back his strength and used it all.
"Li Ming breaks through to the basket! Get another 2~ points! ”
"Holiday shoots outside the three-point line, hits, assists from Li Ming!"
"Li Ming's violent deduction was successful, wow! This physical fitness is simply not covered! ”
After a burst of activity, the Bulls were led by Li Ming, and set off a wave of scoring climaxes in less than three minutes of the opening game, leading 12-4, so that Popovich on the sidelines had to call a timeout.
"Wow~" Li Mingchao walked off the stage, and the audience was cheering.
"Well done, man, keep the momentum going!" Head coach Hojberg patted Li Ming on the shoulder, and the latter nodded, his face expressionless.
Needless to say, he would, and what should he be doing now? It's just pretending! pretended to be deep, looked like he loved whoever he was, and first killed this court, and then killed the people who offended him.
Kindness! Of course, the most important thing is the expression, the expression must be expressionless, why? It's a very simple word, it's handsome!
Back on the field, Popovich had already sent the Argentine vulture on the field, and it was only four minutes into the opening game that he brought up Ginobili, one of the troikas, apparently to stabilize the situation.
Ginobili has a nickname, called Demon Knife, when he was young, he used to be the strongest sixth man in the league, and almost won the Finals MVP as the sixth man! In the heyday of the troika, Duncan was the cornerstone and played the role of the anchor, Parker was the engine, and many times he was the driving point of the rhythm, and Ginobili was used to disrupt the other party's arrangement, whether it was to lead the second group to chase points, or to stabilize the situation, Popovich would send him as soon as possible.
This time is no exception.
Replacing Ginobili and bringing Guy up at the same time, this is another habit of the old man, if you don't play well, you will roll me off the bench and stay, Duncan was no exception back then, Popovich is a person who doesn't care about your big wrists, so you can often see five big substitutions in Spurs games.
Murray seems to have been trained by the old man, this time he was much more cautious, Li Minghuang did not shake his center of gravity many times, and passed the ball directly to Holliday on the side, who knew that the ball just took off his hand, and saw a figure come out from the side, and his hand blocked one from the middle, grabbed the ball directly in his hand, and then advanced quickly.
Li Ming's reaction was not slow, and he quickly chased after him, Ginobili was getting old, and his explosiveness was far less than when he was young, and he was gradually caught up by Li Ming.
There are still about three steps to go in the basket, and the distance between the two is no more than half a hand, Li Ming is confident that he will cover the ball at the moment when Ginobili makes a move.
"It's now!"
Always ready, Li Ming's attention was extremely concentrated, and Ginobili's starting hand for the layup was clearly seen by him, and when the ball in the latter's hand was raised above his head, he immediately jumped up and slapped it with his big hand.
"Whew!" But the ball in front of him suddenly became short, Li Ming's hand was empty in an instant, and when he looked down, Ginobili raised the hand holding the ball again with a small lever that tucked his abdomen, and easily put it into the basket.
"Hey, I'm being tricked!" Li Ming landed, watched the bald uncle slowly run back to the Spurs' defensive area, and pouted: he has become bald and has become more sophisticated.
After a smooth counterattack, Popovich's face finally softened a little, this is the soldier he brought out, and the troika never let him down.
"Steady, steady!" Hojberg was dancing next to him, and now that they are ahead, they don't have to rush to open up the difference, play steadily, make sure that every goal is scored, and don't let the opponent catch the mistakes.
After all, people's psychology is not immutable, even if they want to chase points in their hearts, they can't catch up if they chase after them, and there will inevitably be some changes in their hearts.
What Hojberg wanted to wait for was that time, to win steadily, this was his idea.
Who is Popovich? One of the league's thousand-win coaches, will he let the Spurs come to Hojberg's pace? It's not even a thought, it's definitely impossible, and unlike Hojborg, who has been repeatedly controlling the tempo, Popovich has always said to run up and run.
The reason why Popovich is great is that he can not only adjust the style of play in positional warfare, but also adapt to the current pace of attack. In the 2010~2011 season, many people may have little impression of this season, but one thing should be able to recall everyone's memory, in the playoffs of that year, the Spurs were eliminated by the Grizzlies Black Eight.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the Grizzlies' black and white duo was at their peak that year, and they just restrained the ball, it is very likely that the first person to use it would not have died a lot.
Because the Spurs' record of winning the first place in the league that year relied on speeding up the offensive rhythm and playing fluent coordination, Duncan deliberately lost weight in order to keep up with the offensive rhythm that year.
It can be said that Kerr's subsequent move to Golden State as a coach and the success of the experimental small-ball lineup must have been inspired by Popovich's adjustment to the team that season, after all, the former had been with Popovich for a long time.
