Chapter 330: Spurs unilaterally exert force
"It's beautiful!" Hougist high-fived Turner on the way back to his room.
"You're more beautiful, I should have made it more difficult for you!" Turner teased.
Hoghist waved his hand, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a superman who can fly freely, and it's more difficult?" This ball is almost straining my muscles! ”
Parker dribbled to the front court and fed the ball to Simmons on the wing, who made a pointless triple threat and then fed the ball to Leonard on the weak side.
At this time, Parker also happened to detour to the bottom corner of the same side, Leonard passed the ball, but Jeremy Lin also followed up in time, Parker saw that there was no chance to break through, so he moved to the line, and Aldridge set up a cover for him on the wing, and after Parker passed, Ade moved down in the low post.
Turner was afraid of Parker splitting the ball in the low post, so he didn't make a big delay or switch, but followed Aldridge to the low post, while Jeremy Lin was a step late, giving Parker a chance to get inside from the middle.
It wasn't until Parker hit the basket that Turner hurriedly shrank back to help the defense, and then, as the so-called loss of the other, Turner shrank to the basket in time to block Parker's shot angle, but Aldridge got the opportunity. Parker made a move under the basket and threw the ball to Aldridge in the low post, and Ade caught the ball and hit a jumper to hit a two-pointer.
Jeremy Lin dribbled to the frontcourt, and Bryant continued to go out of his way to ask for the ball in the low post. In the fight for position, another foul on Simmons was caused. Unfortunately, the Spurs did not have enough fouls on the team, and the Lakers could only continue to serve the sideline ball again.
Bryant moved from the weak corner to the top of the arc, borrowed Turner's cover from the free throw line to get rid of the defender to catch the ball, and kept the ball to Turner who was down, Turner caught the ball under the basket and was strong, but he couldn't complete this simple layup under Aldridge's interference.
Dio protected the rebound and advanced to the frontcourt, and as he ran past halfcourt, he distributed the ball to fellow countryman Parker, who sent the ball inside from the middle with a direct long-hitting pass at the top of the arc. Ade received the ball under the basket, and seemed to be blessed by some mysterious power, and a quick turn easily brushed Turner, turned under the basket, and put the ball into the basket with his back to Turner's defense.
Hoggist still wanted to cooperate with Kobe Bryant in the high and low posts, but the ball had just been passed to Kobe Bryant in the low post. The Spurs doubled Kobe Bryant, and Kobe hurriedly distributed the ball to the weak side, but was stealed by Dio under the basket.
Dio staggered to the frontcourt and made a wall-to-wall one-two with fellow Parker, who first passed the ball to Parker and then suddenly activated himself and went straight to the basket from the middle. After overtaking the defender, Parker passed the ball back to him. Dior made a layup after receiving the ball, and failed to score the first shot, but he grabbed the frontcourt rebound again, and then made up for it, and then didn't score, and then grabbed the frontcourt rebound, and then made up for it, and this time he finally made up for it.
At 80:81, the Spurs overtook the score again, and Bryant seemed a little uncomfortable in the face of the sudden increase in defensive intensity. With 5:58 left in the game, Shashewski called a timeout again.
"Hey, wake up! How are you all sleepwalking, where is our defensive intensity? Where is the rebound protection? Haugist, have you been hurt by your so-called special skills again? Where is your flashy offense? ”
Hoggist smiled and didn't speak, this time he did seem to have injured himself, the burning sensation on the soles of his feet was not due to the excessive friction he thought, but more like plantar fasciitis caused by excessive fatigue, although this uncomfortable feeling was not much but unbearable, which is why he kept giving the ball to Kobe Bryant to attack.
Shashewski was confident that there should be no problem with tactics and strategy, so he only emphasized focus in the time to let everyone concentrate on the final game.
After the pause, the Lakers served the baseline ball, and the Spurs went even further, and actually came to a full-court press, Jeremy Lin was interfered with by Parker and couldn't receive the ball, and in desperation, Hougist hurriedly ran back to the half court to receive the ball and be responsible for advancing.
After the front court, Hoggist made a move to change the stars, and in his own way, he also played a wall-hitting two-by-one cooperation with Jeremy Lin. It's just that this time, Haugist hit the basket to attract the bag and then distributed the ball to Kobe Bryant, who was empty in the bottom corner. And Kobe Bryant got up and down this time, threw three points, and also let out a bad breath.
The Spurs responded with Dio holding the ball in the high post, Aldridge asking for the ball in the low post, and Dio passed the ball in. Aldridge pushed his back to the upper line, and after facing the basket head-on in the paint area, Aldridge rolled over and shot a backward jumper, but the stabbing team's hand finally broke.
Jeremy Lin protected the rebound and dribbled to the frontcourt, glanced at Haugist, and wanted to give him the ball to organize, but Hoggist made a look, making Jeremy Lin realize that Kobe Bryant behind him ran out of space.
Out of absolute trust in Hoggist, Jeremy Lin played a trick, and in the case of Hoggist, he passed the ball directly behind and threw the ball into the bottom corner of the same side. This move did have an effect, and when Kobe received the ball, Simmons was still shrinking under the basket and waiting for Hoggist to shoot three points to grab the rebound!
Taking advantage of this fleeting vacant opportunity, why bother to continue to make decisive three-point shots, but unfortunately his hand also failed to continue.
The Spurs protected the rebound, and they were not in a hurry to attack in the frontcourt, but patiently passed the ball on the outside, just when the Lakers' defense was expanding to the three-point line, Dio suddenly made a cannonball pass straight to the basket, Aldridge received the ball and forced the basket, but the ball was rejected by Turner's hat and sent directly out of the three-point line.
But the Spurs still seem to be under the mercy of Lady Luck, and the ball goes to Simmons again. Simmons showed his explosive physical talent with a strong basket, but he dunked the ball away when he tried to dunk.
However, this rebound still fell into the hands of the Spurs players, Dio directly dialed the ball to the outside, and Leonard received the ball and shot an unreasonable three-pointer directly against Hoggist.
Leonard's three-point shot was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, and in everyone's subconscious, Leonard is a player who plays extremely reasonably, reasonable and even like a robot executing a program, and there should be no such thing as a three-point shot in his offensive selection.
And it was Leonard's unexpected change of trick that caught Hougist off guard. Although Haugist eventually reacted and reached out to interfere, he couldn't prevent Leonard's three-pointer from flying into the basket.
MMP, discomfort in the soles of my feet, distracted me. I should have interfered with this ball! After receiving the ball from his teammates, Hougist dribbled twice on the ground, but this vented his resentment in his heart, but it also made everyone see the imbalance of his mentality.
"Dude, you need to calm down! I've scored a lot of these balls over your head during summer training, so don't you want to be so excited? Leonard actually kindly comforted Hougist in the process of retreating.
Haugist can't say if he suffers, after all, the injury on the sole of his foot is self-inflicted, and it would be too hypocritical to complain to others.
Coming to the frontcourt, Haugist broke through from the left wing to the basket and then distributed the ball to Kobe Bryant in the weak corner. Bryant didn't make a shot, just shook it for a while, and then distributed the ball to Hoggist, who ran to the same wing, and Hougist endured the burning sensation from the soles of his feet and hit a shot from outside the three-point line to complete the offense.
As a robot, Leonard seems to see that something is wrong with the soles of Haugist's feet. So Leonard, who had been silent for a long time, continued to take the initiative to attack the ball, and after receiving the ball at the top of the arc, Leonard slowly moved to the wing, suddenly started to accelerate, cut through Haugist like a sharp sword into the hinterland of the Lakers, and completed a very soft pick-up with one hand, and the score returned to the same running line again.
"Hey, that's not your style! Are you putting water on me? It's true that I don't score as much as you, but I don't want your charity! Leonard wasn't sarcastic, he was genuinely curious about how Hoggist's defensive level could have skyrocketed and plummeted like the price of Bitcoin.
"Where is so much nonsense! I don't want you to throw the ball! I'm just a little distracted, what are you proud of! Hoggist replied angrily as he struggled with the foot injury.
But Leonard's eyes widened and he said seriously: "The Hougist I know will never be distracted on the field!" ”
"You better take the opportunity of my distraction and hurry up and score! Will you have a chance when I don't get distracted? Hougist impatiently ended the discussion.
The teammates also looked at Hoggist with incredible eyes, and this was probably the first time they had seen Hoggist be thrown away by an attacking player so easily and score easily. In order to hide the embarrassment, Hoggist dribbled to the front court, made a large body change of direction and then directly shot a three-pointer, but this three-point iron that came out of the basket seemed to make the atmosphere even more embarrassing.
Fortunately, a civilized division like the Spurs also seems to pay attention to courtesy, and after Horgist's unreasonable shot gave away the ball for nothing, Aldridge immediately staged a wave of offensive three-second violations and returned the ball.
After regaining possession of the ball, Haugist calmed down, and found the vacant Randle in the front court through a patient pass, Randle threw directly in the low post, and the ball turned on the basket for a long time, without any intention of falling in, Randle was anxious, rushed to the basket, and reached out to make up the ball into the basket.
However, this rebound was self-defeating, and the referee determined that the center of gravity of the ball had not yet left the cylinder of the basket, so the penalty was invalidated.
Taking advantage of this dead ball, the Spurs used Danny. Green replaced Simmons, and looking back after the game, the substitution seemed to be the turning point of the game.
Leonard continued to single Haugist at the top of the arc, and this time Hougist gritted his teeth to hold back the pain and concentrate on defending Leonard.
But due to the lack of communication, Jeremy Lin did something bad with good intentions and ran up to help Hoggist help defend Leonard. Seeing this, Leonard immediately gave the ball to Parker, Parker broke through to the basket, Kobe Bryant had to let go of Tielin to make up for the defense, and the experienced Parker saw Kobe coming, but he stopped and retreated, and Tielin, who was let go by Kobe, seized the opportunity to slip to the bottom line and cut to the basket.
Parker quickly sent the ball to Tie Lin, who stole the chicken under the basket, Tie Lin received the ball without hesitation and made a backhand layup, but was sent out of the bottom line by Turner under the basket with the ball with a hot pot feast of bliss.
But after eating this big hat, Tie Lin seemed to have been opened up to Ren Du's second vein, and after restarting the ball, he forced Kobe Bryant to hit a three-point shot like Leonard.
"Damn, this guy is starting to have jerking off too! The Spurs' coffin board is going to be unpressable, what are you waiting for, Hoggist! Jeremy Lin shouted anxiously at Hoggist.
Can I still not know? The Spurs' coffin board huh? Now it's the spurs that crawl out of the coffin, throw us into the coffin, and start nailing the board! Haugist thought to himself, but he didn't say it explicitly. Now that the Lakers are trailing by three points, Hoggist hopes that he and his teammates can reopen their three-point accounts as soon as possible to regain the lead.
Dribbling to the front court, Hogist signaled his teammates to run patiently and look for opportunities, not to rush to shoot, but when Turner was about to get to an excellent position under the basket, Hoggist, who had always been able to deliver the ball on time at the moment of opportunity, hesitated, and he still preferred to tie the score directly through three points.
It was this hesitation that Turner's opportunity was fleeting, it was too late for Hoggist to pass the ball, and the offensive time was passing quickly, and Horgist didn't want to dump his teammates, so he stepped back and made a three-point shot.
But Hoggist didn't have as much luck as Danny Green at this time, and the key three-pointer went straight to the basket.
Unwilling to fail, Haugist rushed into the interior to grab the rebound, but he was a step late, the ball was dialed outside by Aldridge, Leonard received the ball quickly, but the closest was Randle, seeing that Leonard could not be limited, Randle had to pay for a foul and hold Leonard to death.
As Hougist's old teammate Turner didn't say anything because Hougist didn't pass the ball just now, Kobe Bryant looked at him with approval, and in Kobe's concept, it should be a core player like them who should stand up and take responsibility at the last moment.
Leonard made both free throws and the Spurs had a five-point lead. The Lakers drove the ball out of the ball and drove the ball directly to the Spurs basket for a long distance, through the encirclement and interception of all five opponents, and got an easy layup opportunity under the basket, but the Hoggist's steps were not adjusted well, and the foot that jumped was the injured one, and at the moment of jumping, Hoggist felt a piercing pain and almost lost his balance in the air.
After forcing the ball up, Hougist landed firmly before he could run back, but Leonard was already off, and Hougist once again watched Leonard easily score two points.
