Chapter 315: Let Go of the Attack
Jump ball, the game started, the Nets got the ball first, fell to the position, because everyone else didn't have too strong ability, so it was still Lopez who played.
In the face of Gasol, Lopez still had the advantage in terms of strength, and turned to hit Gasol's hook shot.
The Spurs attacked, Parker handed the ball to Thunder Water after half time, and Kilpatrick, who was only 193 tall, defended Thunder Water, who had an absolute advantage in all aspects, plus the old man Bobo gave the instructions of "letting go of the attack", receiving the pass without hesitation, and dribbling two steps to hit the first goal from a short distance.
Lei Shui's mother pinched Lei Shui's father's arm excitedly: "My son has scored!" Son scored! ”
Lei Shui's father looked disgusted: "What are you excited about, it's not like I haven't seen it at home!" ”
Lei Shui's mother said: "At home, it's watching TV, can it feel the same at the scene!?" Really! ”
Lei Shui's father squinted his eyes and said, "It's really uninformed!" ”
"It's in again! The son is in again! Lei Shui's mother was not affected at all and continued to be excited.
In the first few minutes of the game, the Nets continued to play Lopez, while the Spurs also handled the ball by Thunder Water, and both sides played very civilized, almost with training-level defensive intensity.
The Spurs are in line with the purpose of playing the game well, and the Nets have little confidence in playing the Spurs, so they don't have much confidence in the Spurs.
After Lo Peici played Gasol 4 in 3, Gasol began to be a little anxious, and said: Although the defense is a little looser, but your Nets can't always beat me, I used to be an All-Star player, although I am older, it is also to save face!
When Lopez hit again, Gasol suddenly made a strong effort and carefully defended it to interfere with this shot.
Lopez is currently the boss of the team after all, and at this time, Kilpatrick, who was defending Thunderwater, saw that Gasol suddenly stepped up his defense, and in order to make a response to the Boss Gang, he immediately opened up and planned to defend against Thunderwater.
As soon as Lei Shui held the ball, he felt that Kilpatrick's defense was a little tight, and immediately shook to the left, and then quickly broke through to the right, near the free throw line, saw that he threw off half of his body, and immediately stopped the jump shot, Kilpatrick couldn't jump, so he slapped Lei Shui's handwriter with a palm when Lei Shui started, trying to interfere with it.
Lei Shui felt that his left hand was pulled, knew that he had been fouled, concentrated, adjusted his body, and held the ball with one hand with his right hand and threw it to the square box on the rebound, and with the whistle, the ball hit the front board into the basket and played 2+1.
Lei Shui's goal was already 4 of 5 shots, and at the same time, such a lucky goal also made Lei Shui realize that he was in a very good state.
Thunder Water Plus Penalty Hit.
Lopez, who has been in the league for many years, also understood the reason after being defended by Gasol, so he deliberately signaled his teammates to take over the attack and give up his position.
The Nets then stood up with Booker, Ade is not good at defense, especially the flexible power forward, which is Ade's least favorite, although Booker does not have a height advantage, but relies on flexible movement and mid-range half-volleys to take over the team's scoring task.
At this time, the Spurs are still playing Thunderwater, although Kilpatrick has strengthened his defense, but it has not had much impact on Thunderwater, Thunderwater can be said to be what Kilpatrick's head is asking for, emergency stop jump shots, turning and leaning back, every offense can be completed with high quality, and Kilpatrick quickly paid for his second foul.
Lei Shui took 8 shots in the first 5 minutes of the first quarter, hit 6 times, and scored a total of 15 points with free throws, it is difficult to see a player with such wanton shooting power in the Spurs' previous games, but Lei Shui can not only shoot at any time today, but the old man Bobo has no opinion on this, and sits firmly in his seat and lets Lei Shui play.
Halfway through the first quarter, the Spurs led the Nets by four points at 21-17, and although the two sides already had physical confrontation-level defense at individual positions, the overall defense was not very careful.
After a timeout, Nets coach Atkinson saw that Thunderwater's offense today was mostly shot-oriented, so he replaced Jefferson to defend Thunderwater.
Jefferson is very physical, is a good defensive player, in the Nets, the difference between the playing time between the starter and the bench is not very large, so any bench player may be promoted to the starter, and they also attach great importance to every opportunity to play, Jefferson came up very positive, immediately cut off the pass to Thunderwater, and assisted his teammates to complete the counterattack.
The Spurs' offense was clear from the beginning, not only the players, but also the audience saw it very clearly, that is, to play Thunderwater, so Jefferson was very clear that he wanted to strictly guard against Thunderwater.
With a break, Parker was cautious in passing the ball to Thunderwater.
Lei Shui came out to ask for the ball, Jefferson half grabbed the front defense to prevent Lei Shui from receiving the ball, Lei Shui saw Jefferson defending like this, and also stretched out the shelf, expanding the range of his cylinder, so that the ball could be passed.
Parker hobby the ball passed, Lei Shui held Jefferson with one hand and took the ball with the other, Jefferson struggled to push forward, trying to break the ball, but was pushed away by Lei Shui, when Lei Shui received the ball, Jefferson put his chest on Lei Shui's arm, showing his defensive posture.
Lei Shui held Jefferson with one hand, grabbed the ball with the other hand and put it behind him to avoid interference, in such defensive conditions, there was no room to shoot, only to break through.
Lei Shui gently pushed him out with the left arm supporting Jefferson's body, Jefferson was not moved at all, like a puddle of mud pasted up again, Lei Shui seized this opportunity, dribbled back a step, took advantage of Jefferson to step forward again, immediately turned sideways and took a small step forward to the right with his left foot, feint on the right side, when Jefferson was still making judgments, Lei Shui had already pasted up, leaned on Jefferson and then turned around quickly with his left foot as the axis, and when Jefferson reacted, Thunder Water had pinned him behind him.
Lei Shui passed Jefferson and started directly to the basket, Lei Shui's chin was raised, and he held the ball with one hand in his right hand and made a fake move to deceive Lopez, who was making up the defense, and then switched to his left hand in the air to dunk successfully.
This time it was a semi-dunk for Lopez, but it was Jefferson who caused the situation, and Lopez was very dissatisfied with Jefferson's defense: "You better hold your position, I don't want to make it up to you!" ”
Booker hit a half-volley basket and changed the Spurs offense, Lei Shui continued to be entangled by Jefferson, and Jefferson pressed his center of gravity very low in order to prevent Lei Shui from breaking through: "I won't let you pass so easily!" ”
Seeing that Jefferson was so serious, Lei Shui glanced down at his feet, exactly one meter outside the three-point line, and said, "Then I won't go." After saying that, Thunder Water directly pulled out three points, and Jefferson didn't even have time to block, and the ball drew a perfect parabola and drilled into the net.
In the middle of the quarter, Lei Shui used 10 shots in exchange for 20 points, and the shooting rate was as high as 80%.
