Chapter 76 Fighting Courage on the Inside!
The Spurs are looking for Ade, and the Rockets know it, but there is no way, the Spurs are standing on the outside Danny Green, Leonard, these two are masters of throwing points, and the ball was given to Aldridge again after three or five shots, this time the difference is in the high position, Wang Xiaoer is very close, Ade is in the frame, holding the ball high in the back of his head, tentative step, Wang Xiaoer was unmoved, and immediately dribbled strongly, with big steps and strong impact, Wang Xiaoer was pushed half a meter away and shot! The whistle sounded, Wang Xiaoer beat the hand
"It's okay, the ball didn't go in, come on, good defense!" Howard comforted Wang Xiaoer, but Wang Xiaoer knew that if he continued to play according to this mode, after a while, he would have to be fouled, and Ade executed the free throw, and he was on the side, how to deal with this monster, the feel of the guard, the figure of the center, and the athleticism of the swing man, and there was no way to deal with it for a while, but he gritted his teeth and told himself that "I can't let him get the ball easily"
On the Rockets' side, Howard scored the second goal, Duncan fouled once, this time Howard took the ball from the bottom line, and directly got up and forced in, and when he got to the basket, Duncan reached out to interfere with things, and Popovich yelled at Danny Green on the Spurs' side, "Don't play so tight!" Popovich is not satisfied that Green is so close to Harden, Harden can shoot one or two, but can't let him hit the basket, like the Rockets, the Spurs also have to protect Duncan, on the defensive end, he is almost forty years old, but he is still the core of the Spurs' interior defense
It's easy to say, but the Spurs' pass is very good, self-contained, Leonard catches the ball and swayes, the flank breaks through Ariza's defense, you can shoot at mid-distance, but don't throw, give Parker to the high position, the Rocket's defensive center of gravity goes to the high, Ade's weak side goes out to get the ball, this time the position is closer to the paint area, the rocket is easy to wrap up, so, Ade is very decisive, directly turned forward and leaned on Wang Xiaoer to go down to the basket, Wang Xiaoer saw that he couldn't stand it, his right hand went up to interfere, and he was turned around by Ade, annoyed and angry, and hit Ade on the armFoul! Rocket pause!
For the first time since coming to the NBA, Wang Xiaoer was not replaced because of physical problems
"Coach, I'll keep playing, anyway, I can't support my physical strength for too long, I'll try my best. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info. ”
"Shut up! Is it important for the team to win or to make you happy?! Sit down for me" McHale rarely sprayed Wang Xiaoer, he was not in a good mood, Ade was in just the right state, and he had no bottom in his heart, "You must get inside, two guards, you must hit the ball in!" ”
A superstar is a superstar, Leonard covers Harden like a big spider, but Harden still has a way to get rid of him, he uses Jones's cover, pretends to go to the right, and then runs to the left, shaking off Leonard, Lawson arrives at the ball, Harden catches the ball, a frustrated step, and then leans on Danny Green to go inside, the scene on the court is very funny, Harden is holding the ball and running to Duncan, if he wants to say to shoot, he can already shoot, Danny Green can't pinch him at all, and Duncan is stupid, the heavy sword has no edge, and he is wise and foolish, Of course, he knew that Harden was bombarding himself with an explosives bag, so he raised his hands and ran to the bottom corner, and Ade went up to the top and fouled!
The scene was repeated several times, and Popovich shook his head and couldn't help but laugh, "Are you going to let him insult the defender like this?" He said to the referee with a smile
The referee didn't look at him, "It's that there are loopholes in the rules, but fortunately, Duncan ran very fast"
Turning back to the Spurs or looking for Ade, Parker is a master of blocking and pick-and-roll, he saw Lawson retract in, and Jones worked with Jones to prevent Ade from receiving the ball, did not hesitate, raised his hand in the middle range and hit, this result McHale seemed to be acceptable, he saw Lawson let Parker go, but he didn't say anything.
The first dunk of this ball came, Harden and Howard blocked and dismantled, and gave the ball to the monster, the ball was predicted by Duncan, interfered, Howard was unstable with the ball, and he was about to lose his center of gravity, and gave the ball to Ariza in the bottom corner of the weak side, Danny Green went to make up for it, was picked up by Ariza, flew over, and rushed straight to the basket, Ade carried a foul on his side, did not dare to be tough, Ariza dunked successfully!
It's still coming, Ade singled Jones in the high position, just raised his hand, aimed at the basket, Jones's center of gravity flew, striding in, this ball is only Howard's body dared to go up, but into the paint area Ade coaxed, the ball to Duncan, the old man didn't even bother to buckle the empty blue, hit the board to score, in fact, if you have to go on the line, said that Ade soft may have something to do with this, just he strode up, the speed is there, the rhythm is also, although it is Howard's defense, but it should not be difficult to kill into the monster foul, in that case, Howard is also going to leave the court twice, Howard going down means that Parker's spring is coming, but he doesn't, the ball is good for Jones, and it's good for Duncan to pass, tactically good, but strategically opposite.
As Lawson on the Rockets' side threw a three-pointer to chase down, the Spurs called a timeout first, and when the timeout came back, Duncan was gone, and the Rockets accepted and replaced Howard when they saw it, in order to control Ade, McHale had to raise Jones's tactical low post up "To make him the ball, Jones, take the ball harder, you can not shoot inside!" In addition, he is optimistic about Parker, who may play "It's not for anyone to be able to play the ball, so Lawson has to play."
The Spurs' side of the offense is not as desperate as before to find Ade, Leonard burst out on the wing, collected the ball back, and pulled it out! Star play, but Sensei said, after a few seasons, he really made this set of moves skillfully and freely, Ariza did not lose his position, but the ball went in!
Lawson pushed the fast break, a fake disguise past Parker, but his teammates didn't keep up, facing David West, who was defending in front, controlled the rhythm, and the ball passed back to Harden on the outside, Harden and Jones played blocking and dismantling, dismantling to Jones, resolutely playing inside, using speed to resist Ade and go inside, turning around and hooking his hand to not score, Motai took off the frontcourt rebound, shook a shot to point West, and threw a shot!
In the second half of the first quarter, the Spurs' offensive focus turned outward, not surprising, because Ginobili came up, so many years have passed, he is still the one that is least like the Spurs in the Spurs system, Popovich gave him a higher degree of freedom, higher than Parker, and even higher than Duncan, Ginobili's body movements are a bit against the rules of basketball, he always has a way to make those rhythmless movements, according to common sense, it is easy to get out of the control of the dribble when doing these actions, but Ginobili's fame is precisely here, His rhythm is not the rhythm of basketball, and the defender can't eat his rhythm, but basketball is consistent with him, the ball does not leave his hand, and the wind is galloping.
Ade still taught Jones a lesson, but it was not so dazzling, the opportunities all started with Ginobili's blocking, through the soul of the French magician Dior, the ball went to Ade's hands, long distance, middle distance, dry pull, backwards, and ended the attack!
If McHale didn't let Harden fill the entire first quarter, then the Rockets would have been thrown off the score in the first quarter of the game, Harden found a shooting rhythm in the last few rounds, first stepped back to hit a shot, and then no longer implemented McHale's inside tactics, Jones still blocked, but Harden didn't take it back, various shots in the middle distance, and a ball with a European step to become Ginobili's 2+1, watching Ginobili complain to the referee, Wang Xiaoer, who was sitting on the sidelines, couldn't help muttering "The old hunter is also on the fox" The first quarter ended, The Rockets trailed by 4 points.
