248 Joe Johnson!
At the moment when Gobert used his body to push away Dedmon and complete the layup, behind him, Jonathan Simmons suddenly came like lightning and immediately slapped Gobert's layup on the rebound. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Haha, that's Jonathan Simmons' best defensive means"
The rebound was then taken by Dedmon, and the Jazz's offense failed!
Jin Feng took the ball from Dedmon, and in this game, he really achieved the position of point guard.
However, it seems that in the current situation, Jin Feng should not control the ball easily, and it is obvious that the defensive intensity of the Jazz side has also come up.
Popovich saw this, so, after the Spurs' offense still failed, he immediately called a timeout, and then made personnel adjustments, Tony Parker replaced Jonathan Simmons, Aldridge replaced Dedmon, and Gasol replaced Danny Green, so that the Spurs returned to their normal starting lineup.
On the Jazz side, Sneijder also made personnel adjustments, however, unlike Popovich's side who made multiple personnel adjustments in a row, he only made one adjustment, that is, he replaced Hood with "singles Joe" Joe Johnson.
It's not that Sneijder doesn't want to make personnel adjustments in other positions, it's just that he doesn't dare to adjust, he can guess that Popovich will send the strongest lineup after this timeout, so he doesn't dare to use a bunch of substitutes to fight the Spurs' real starting lineup, otherwise, he will die faster.
Replacing Hood with Joe Johnson, Sneijder intended to strengthen the offensive end, after all, the team still needs players to step up and score while maintaining a high level of defense.
In Sneijder's view, Hood and Joe Johnson's defensive level is about the same, which is the average in the league, but on the offensive end, Joe Johnson is a big cut ahead of Hood, and even in the entire Jazz team, even the star Haywood dare not say that he will definitely surpass Joe Johnson on the offensive end.
Especially Joe Johnson's singles ability, which is a top-notch presence in the entire league, even though Joe Johnson is now 36 years old.
…………
After the timeout, the Jazz's offense, George Hill passed the ball to Joe Johnson as soon as he controlled the ball and advanced to the front court.
At this time, it was Jin Feng who was opposite Joe Johnson.
"Haha, China Jin vs. Joe Johnson, a rare wonderful picture, this is destined to be one of the interesting pictures of this game"
"To be honest, I'm pretty sure of China's Jin on the defensive end, but we all know what kind of player Joe is."
"That's right, singles Joe is 36 years old, maybe he has slipped to his prime, but, the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, after all, he is a player who once ate Dwyanwade raw, and his scoring ability should not be underestimated"
………
When Jin Feng faced Joe Johnson, who was holding the ball, his expression immediately became extremely serious, and when he came back from a pause, the first wave of Jazz's offense handed the ball to Joe Johnson to deal with, even if he didn't understand Joe Johnson's ability, he should understand what this meant? What's more, he really understands Joe Johnson's abilities.
To be honest, at this time, when Jin Feng faced Joe Johnson, he did not regard Joe Johnson as a veteran who was about to retire, but regarded him as a superstar who was still at his peak.
Jin Feng understands that in terms of singles ability on the offensive end, Joe Johnson deserves his attention.
Once, before entering the league, Jin Feng knew that in the NBA, when it came to singles ability, Kobe, Wade, Anthony and others were all first-class masters, but among these singles masters, Joe Johnson's name was also impressively listed......
………
"Boy, you look nervous, so, give up, you should know my abilities, I hope you are interesting"
After seeing Jin Feng's unusually serious expression, Joe Johnson, who was holding the ball, smiled indifferently and said to Jin Feng.
This time, Jin Feng chose to ignore it, this is the playoffs, this is Joe Johnson, Jin Feng must always remind himself, keep enough attention, stay calm enough, and absolutely not be affected.
Seeing that Jin Feng was unmoved, Joe Johnson's expression had a hint of disappointment, but immediately, in his heart, he also paid attention to Jin Feng completely, the league's superstar, China Jin, is really a good superstar seedling.
45 degrees outside the three-point line on the right side, Joe Johnson began to dribble, and the moment Jin Feng reached out and rushed up, Joe Johnson made a shooting move.
Intuition told Jin Feng that this was a false shot, so he was unmoved, and then, in the next second, his pupils were infinitely dilated.
It is hard to imagine that the 36-year-old Joe Johnson can still make a physical action in the air, and he has turned a false shot into a real shot.
"Brush"
"Haha, Joe Johnson singled China Jin and hit a three-point shot from the outside"
Jin Feng's expression was a little unnatural, because he was a little "pale and weak" at this time, which was the first time he entered the NBA when he defended a player.
He had a hunch that he might really not be able to stop Joe Johnson, even if it was only he who defended Joe Johnson for one round.
Jin Feng's expression was a little unnatural, which was all taken into Tony Parker's eyes, "Jin, change guards with Kehuai."
As the on-court commander, Parker knows that this is not the time to be angry, and he also knows that this is the time when it must be his turn to play.
In the moment just now, he saw the helplessness in Jin Feng's eyes, so he immediately made a decision to have Leonard face Joe Johnson.
After coming to the front court with the ball, Parker slowed down the pace of the game, even if it wasn't fast enough.
Jin Feng started to run without the ball under the defense of Haywood, he went around the left corner from the bottom corner of the right side through the baseline to the basket, trying to get rid of Haywood and get a catch-and-shoot space.
However, he didn't succeed, and even though he did use Gasol's cover to get away from Haywood's defense, he was defended by Joe Johnson again in the next second.
After observing the situation on the court for a while at the top of the arc, Parker found that whether it was Aldridge and Gasol on the inside, or Leonard and Jin Feng on the outside, there was no chance at this time, and then decided to break through with the ball himself.
If it was in the regular season, Parker might have given Leonard a chance to play with his back to his back, and he wouldn't have broken through so directly, after all, the regular season doesn't require him to work hard, or go all out.
But now it's the playoffs, it's time for him to turn on "all-out mode," and he's going to have to do it, or he'll be sorry for his veteran, sorry for Popovich, and even more sorry for his teammates.
It's late, that's fast, otherwise Hill, who was defending Parker, was barely prepared and was passed by Parker with a quick stride.
"Ahaha, Tony rushed in, and at this moment, we saw Tony's peak speed"
Hill used to play for the Spurs, or rather, he used to wear the hat of "Parker's successor", so Hill has a certain understanding of Parker.
However, he didn't expect that the current Parker and the Parker in his impression were not the same thing at all, was there something wrong with his memory?
