"Tim Duncan beat Sabonis to secure the first wave of possession for the Spurs. "Although Avidas Sabonis is also an interior player, this time he is not facing those second-rate centers of the Timberwolves and Jazz, but one of the two strongest interior players in the current team, so when jumping the ball, Avidas Sabonis lost to Duncan without suspense.www.biquge.info

Despite the failure of the jump ball, Avidas Sabonis was not discouraged, and Avidas Sabonis was very clear about the gap between himself and Duncan, and after landing, Avidas Sabonis quickly retreated.

After receiving the basketball from Duncan in the backcourt, Mario Elie directly passed the basketball to Avery Johnson, who was already near the center circle, Avery Johnson and Damon Stoudemire, who defended him, can be said to be half a pound in terms of physical fitness, but the flying squirrel is younger and more athletic, so in several matchups this season, Damon Stoudemire will more or less implement pressing tactics against Avery Johnson.

So when Damon Studemire pressed Avery Johnson to defend again, Johnson directly handed the basketball to Meng Xu behind him, and as in the Lakers game, Meng Xu stood below the center circle and watched his teammates gradually pull away. It's just that unlike Rick Fox, Scottie Pippen's defensive ability and experience are much stronger, Pippen and Steve Smith are left and right, directly blocking the route that Meng Xu may break through, it seems that the Trail Blazers have put a lot of effort into defending the Spurs' breakthrough in this game.

Seeing Scottie Pippen, who took a step forward and wanted to prevent himself from breaking through, Meng Xu moved two steps laterally, and directly passed the ball to Duncan, who had already mentioned the free throw line area, and then moved from the left side of the court to the right side of the court.

After receiving the basketball, Duncan directly hit Avidas Sabonis with his back, and Arvidas Sabonis, who is 2.21 meters tall and weighs 280 pounds, still has a lot of strength in his lower body, so Duncan does not have much advantage when facing Avidas Sabonis with his back.

Once, twice, after Duncan sat slowly and inwards twice in a row, after seeing Avidas Sabonis being pushed away by Duncan, Rasheed Wallace quickly dropped his defensive object and rushed towards Duncan, at this moment, Sean Elliott, who was still entangled with Rasheed Wallace just now, ran directly to the bottom corner of the right side of the court.

Just after Rasheed Wallace's bag was in place, Duncan directly turned around and passed the basketball to Sean Elliott in the bottom corner, and after the unguarded Sean Elliott received the ball, he made a direct 3-point shot, but the ball brushed out after two turns on the basket, and after Duncan was stuck by Avidas Sabonis, the rebound was grabbed by Rasheed Wallace.

Although this goal was not scored, Popovich on the sidelines still applauded the players on the court, because this offense, the Spurs have completely played their own tactical cooperation, although there is still a certain gap compared with the Lakers' triangle offense, but it is also decent.

"Boy, what the hell are you doing?" Looking at the Spurs' running position just now, Scottie Pippen was also a little puzzled, how can this kind of running position be so familiar, you must know that there are only a few Spurs tactics, and the twin tower tactics must not be able to play because of David Robinson's injury, and in the series with the Lakers, the Spurs either played INSIDE-OUT or broke out from the beginning, so before this game, the defensive tactics arranged by Mike Dunleavy were to wrap Duncan and defend Meng Xu's breakthrough, but in the previous round, Scottie Pippen always felt weird, Duncan's movements were so slow, as if he was deliberately trying to attract the Trail Blazers, and Meng Xu didn't have the slightest intention of breaking through, his running position on the court was so similar to his former teammate Mike, and this feeling always made Scottie Pippen feel a little unsteady.

In this game, the Trail Blazers want not only a victory, but also an all-round defeat of the Spurs, and a 4-0 sweep is just a small goal, so Mike Dunleavy's pre-game requirement is to crush the Spurs on both the defensive and offensive ends, not only to beat them, but also to ravage them, in order to alleviate the hatred in his heart, in order to repay the humiliation that the Spurs added to the Trail Blazers last season.

"You'll find out later." For Scottie Pippen, Meng Xu does not dare to have the slightest slack, although Pippen is 35 years old, but with Pippen's performance in the playoffs this season, anyone who despises him will pay a heavy price, and Scottie Pippen is still the lubricant of this Trailblazers, so before the game, Popovich asked Meng Xu to limit Pippen no matter what, and whether Pippen can be limited is also a very important part of whether this game can be won.

Sure enough, in the Trail Blazers' offense, it was Scottie Pippen who held the ball, just like when he was in the Bulls, after being traded to the Trail Blazers this season, Mike Dunveley re-picked up the tactics of organizing forwards, and let Scottie Pippen be responsible for controlling the ball of the Trail Blazers, this change also made the Trail Blazers have undergone a qualitative change, especially Damon Studmeier, this guy used to be a guy who grabbed the basketball and didn't let go, after Scottie Pippen took over the ball, the flying squirrel became a pitcher and defensive giant, It also allows the Trail Blazers to play more fluidly and threateningly in the game.

"Boy, today I'm going to teach you what a real playmaker looks like." After Pippen finished speaking with a smile on his face, Meng Xu felt that Pippen's whole person's momentum had become different, this feeling was very similar to Kobe Bryant when he was enchanted, but Pippen did not have Kobe's strong desire to attack the basket.

Leaning on Meng Xu, Scottie Pippen accelerated directly to the front diagonal line, continuous emergency stops, and after changing direction, Meng Xu finally revealed a trace of gap, an extremely elegant oblique pass, the basketball passed from Meng Xu's back to Steve Smith, who went around half a circle along the sideline, Steve Smith hit a jump shot directly, taking the lead for the Trail Blazers.

"Boy, your defense is good, but it's not enough. Although there are many people who praise you now, you are still a lot worse than when I was younger, and you still have a long way to go. "In the end, after such a rapid breakthrough, not only the knees and ankles are a little overwhelmed, but even the heart is a little unbearable, the panting Scottie Pippen said with a warning tone when he retreated past Meng Xu.

"Hmm." Although I don't know what Scottie Pippen has in mind to say these words, there is still some truth in Pippen's words, so after hearing Pippen's warning, Meng Xu also nodded subconsciously.

I don't know when it started, Pippen will think of himself when he sees Meng Xu, although he had Michael's guidance and support at that time, but he still took a lot of detours, so as a person who came over, Pippen also wanted to guide Meng Xu very much, and this game was a good opportunity.
