Chapter 689: Full Defensive Lineup!
"This ...... This is......?!! β
San Antonio, the first round of the playoffs, the Spurs' first home game, is about to begin.
When the warm-up of the players from both sides was over, the short but enthusiastic appearance ceremony was over, and the fans were enthusiastically looking forward to the Spurs' hanging of the remnant king.
The starters sent by the Kings surprised everyone.
"The king...... What kind of lineup is this?! β
"Are both sides ready??" On the field, although the referee's face was as usual, he didn't look unusual, and confirmed the final information to both sides as usual.
But in fact, even a few members of the referee team in this game felt that the king was Shi Lezhi.
Send this kind of lineup, play the playoffs with the Spurs, who are healthy and in good shape at the end of the season??
Is the Kings ready to just give up this series?
"No problem!"
On the Spurs' side, center Split said this, but his eyes kept wandering back and forth on the opponent in front of him, and he had a very peculiar feeling in his heart.
Although Split himself has been playing in the league for many years, he is an experienced player. But compared to the opposite side and jumping the ball with himself, he is simply a new one.
Kings, why let him start?
Do you think we are the same as those weak brigades??
"Let's go."
Opposite Split, the man was a majestic man, nodded slightly, and said succinctly.
ββ¦β¦ Good. The referee didn't think much about it anymore, since the players have come up, then the Kings are probably ready to play like this!
"Beep ββ!" "Whoosh! β
When the whistle blew and the ball was thrown into the air, the referee still looked at the Kings' starting center.
This guy ...... Are you sure you won't faint directly in the middle of the race and need oxygen?
Kings, this is really sending a sunset red delegation!
Jump Ball!
"Rub!"
Split himself is not a player with outstanding running and jumping ability, and the probability of his success is really not high when he opens the jump ball.
But today, against this opponent, Split is confident that he can beat him.
After all, this guy's age can be his uncle, if he can't even jump, what else can he do in the NBA??
And if I'm not mistaken, the last time this guy started the Kings, he didn't jump at all, and went straight back to defense.
If nothing else, this will be the case this time......
ββ¦β¦ Rub! β
Well......?!!
What the?!!
When the person in front of him squats with all his strength, and then jumps with all his might.
Split, a little confused.
This guy ...... Come really??
Jump ball with me??
Not kidding?!!
And......
"It's coming......!"
"Smack!"
He really jumped on it!!
ββ¦β¦ TFοΌοΌοΌ β
Jump ball, Kings get the ball!
"Bang Bang Bang"
"Steady and steady~~" The basketball was pushed aside by the Kings center, and a guy who was obviously bigger than the average point guard stepped forward, grabbed the basketball with a lunge, and then dribbled behind an extremely coquettish back and began to advance.
"it, be steady, you're still dribbling behind your back! Crazy you! Gu Yu turned around directly and sprayed at the point guard.
"Hey, hey, hey~ Cousin, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry~~ I'll blow you ~~" And with this kind of to the extreme, people want to beat up when they hear it, and the person who replied to Gu Yu was......
Lance Stevenson.
That's right, Sacramento Kings, starting point guard β Stevenson!
"This ...... What kind of strange lineup is this, King?! In the stands, the fans exploded instantly, as if the King's starting lineup had been on the court for so long just now, and they were all joking in their hearts, and they would definitely change back to a more normal set of methods at the last moment, until now, everyone realized that the King was really playing!
"Good shot! In the opening jump ball, the king's side used experience to take the lead! On the side of the commentary stage, Kefan was also full of curiosity and questions: "Jermaine O'Neal, although the bounce ability has been basically destroyed, the timing of the jump ball is still impressive!" Split's running and jumping quality is quite average, and he may still be holding back his strength in his heart, wanting to prove himself in front of the veteran, but he jumped a little early, and he didn't reach the speed, but was given the ball by O'Neal Jr.! β
Little O'Neill?!
What exactly is the Kings' starting lineup......
"Here's a look at the starting line-ups of both sides! There is no suspense on the San Antonio Spurs' side, point guard Tony Parker, scoring guard Danny Green, small forward Cowai Leonard, power forward Tim Duncan, center Tiago Split! β
It's a perfect lineup.
Regardless of tactical factors, half of the reason why Spurs have been strong this season is that their starting lineup is perfect.
In the starting lineup, Parker's personal attack power is still there, and he can kill the opponent by surprise. Danny Green has almost achieved the ultimate of a 3D player, with accurate three-point points and explosive defense, even if Gu Yu wants to play Green alone, he has to weigh it a little.
What's even more terrifying is that on the No. 3 position, the Spurs also have a natural defensive genius Leonard, with super long arms, super large palms, terrifying running and jumping ability, accurate defensive judgment, and ultimate positioning skills. Coupled with the singles ability that has gradually developed since the beginning of this season, Leonard has become a Death Knight who has reached level six, and with Death Coil, coupled with strong attribute abilities, it is enough to support a team.
Needless to say, power forward Duncan has successfully lost weight, his shooting has become more accurate, and his strategy, defense, and awareness have almost reached the highest point of his career. This season's Duncan is probably the most underrated season of Shi Fo's entire career. The data seems to have reached the twilight of life, but the role of the stadium has reached a new peak.
Although center Split has been complained by some fans because he likes backhand layups too much. But the basic skills are solid, the body is not enough, the offense and defense are balanced, and the awareness is good. In addition to being a little less mobile, he is a fairly well-rounded traditional center, and his occasional cold shots will make the opponent's heart bleed.
It is not surprising that such a starter can sweep the league.
However, the Kings, who lacked soldiers and major generals, faced this terrifying starter, gave a response of ......
"Sacramento Kings, starting point guard Lance Stevenson, scoring guard cousin Gu Yu, small forward Dion Vites, power forward Danny Granger, center Jermaine O'Neal!"
When Kefan read out this starting list, he wanted to laugh a little.
What the hell?
The interior of this lineup is too old, and Granger is not a person who plays inside at all, and Duncan can eat as much as he wants under the basket, and there will be no bones left. And in addition to Gu Yu, there is only half of the singles point of Vitesse, who does the score depend on? Could it be that Gu Yu is eating alone? ?
The Kings seem to be really going to give up this series.
Thinking so in his heart, Kefan couldn't say that in his mouth, and continued: "The king advanced the offense, and the Spurs' defensive line opened up very well!" Danny Green's follow-up defense is in place, and my cousin doesn't seem to have a chance to cut out to catch the ball for the time being! What are the Kings going to do...... What the?! Stevenson broke straight through the ?!! β
"Bang bang bang...... Bang! β
The dribble was so enchanting that it made people tremble, Stevenson saw at a glance that Gu Yu was being stared at by the Spurs' overall defense, and without the slightest hesitation, he threw a set of combos directly at Parker's face.
This rhythm ...... It's weird!
Parker is not a defensive stalwarts in the first place, but now his athleticism has declined, and against the young and vigorous Stevenson, who is still half a head taller than him, he has to rely on experience and prediction to be able to defend himself.
But who knows, although Stevenson is young, the rhythm of the dribble is as weird and inexplicable as Ginobili, the continuous change of direction and shaking, and the gorgeous movements like street balls, so that Parker suddenly failed to keep up with the pace, and he was almost shaken down.
ββ¦β¦ Depend on! With a curse, Parker gritted his teeth and stubbornly held on to the ground, holding back a fire in his heart, and a sports car started and flew to catch up with Stevenson......
ββ¦β¦ Bang! β
Stevenson, however, seemed to have anticipated Parker's defensive rhythm, stopped dribbling and retreated quickly.
This guy ......?!!
"Whew......!"
Throwing his hand, Stevenson's eyes looked at the basket, and trash talk was already erupting on his lips.
"Tony Tony Tony, I want to cut a board today, and there is one more important point......"
"Huh!"
"No, do, meeting, staff, card!"
βNIIIIIIIIICEββοΌοΌβ
The king's bench blew up in an instant.
"Wow......!" Kefan was also wet by Stevenson's operation, and the boss with his mouth open took a long time to come back to his senses: "Lance Stevenson!" It's a joke for Parker! β
On the field, the Spurs players were all confused.
Well...... What the?
The Kings team opened, such a lineup, and they didn't let Gu Yu play alone.
Instead, let Stevenson go straight one-on-one?!
This line of thinking ...... It's amazing!
"Spurs attack! Although the players were a little unable to come to their senses, the offensive tactical movement was not affected! β
Spurs deserve to be Spurs, and after a few short exchanges, the Spurs players returned to their normal minds. Offensive advancement, tactical positioning, no flaws.
When the basketball reached the free throw line, Duncan just cut out, and on the way, he didn't forget to push Split with his hand to remind the juniors to go down.
As soon as he catches the ball, the Spurs' famous free-throw line Duncan Tackle will be back in the game.
In this position, Duncan can pitch in, retreat can pass, outside shooters are around, Split is empty on the inside, Duncan has a flick of his wrist, and he has everything.
But only if it ......
"I'm here!"
No one can go down the plate!!
ββ¦β¦ Good defense! Although Granger couldn't play the third position, he couldn't play the fourth position, but he completely followed Duncan! Duncan wanted to deal with it...... All the outside lines are blocked!! β
At this moment, the Kings players scattered in all directions, following every player of the Spurs, and even Split had O'Neal Jr. alone to take care of him.
People finally understood the true intention of the Kings' starting lineup.
"It's deflated."
Danny Green panted and failed to run, and his life was about to be lost by Gu Yu, and as soon as he stood still, he heard Gu Yu's smug smile in his ear.
"That's Sacramento β an all-defensive lineup!"
