Chapter 235: Ginobili!

After the game officially started, the first round was still the ball of the Trailblazers, and Miller did not hesitate to hand over the ball to Ye Feng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but Ye Feng found that the Spurs' defensive strategy had changed, although it was the same as not letting go, but this time they played a more three-dimensional and layered defense. When he broke through with the ball, first Jefferson, then McDyes, and finally Duncan, the three gates forced him to completely lose his speed, which was quite lethal for the attacker.

Without speed, Ye Feng's turn is not so threatening, and what makes him feel depressed is that Jefferson and McDies will not chase deeply, but simply delay his breakthrough, and finally return to the basket and Duncan's one-on-one. When they complete their tasks, they automatically switch guards with their teammates to defend players who are temporarily empty, such as Aldridge and Camby. Compared to them, Jefferson and McDyce moved faster, which made the passing opportunity fleeting, while Ye Feng was in Duncan's defense, and when he saw the vacancy of his teammates, the opponent was already in place.

So this time it felt awkward to break through Ye Feng, and he had to admit that he underestimated the tactical literacy of this team, as well as Popovich's response in the series. In fact, this is Ye Feng's overconfidence, the Spurs have been one of the most consistent teams in the league since the late 90s of the last century, and they have always maintained a strong competitiveness at all times. Popovich can be called one of the top head coaches in the league, his control of the team, the arrangement of tactics and the ability to turn decay into magic are second to none in the entire NBA, and it is not difficult for him to adjust the defensive system in a short period of time.

The slowing down Ye Feng was like a toothless tiger, his layup was easily targeted by Duncan, and a relaxed pegboard hat made the Trail Blazers' attack futile. The Spurs kicked off at the back, Hill unhurriedly controlled the ball through half court, and then handed it directly to Ginobili, who was standing at a 45-degree angle on the left. Roy, who was in charge of defending the Argentine, instantly tensed his nerves, and the core of Argentina's golden generation was not easy to deal with. Ginobili didn't care about Roy's reaction, he stepped back straight after a series of forward changes, and threw the ball out of the field with a meter still from the three-point line.

Roy was a little annoyed, he didn't expect Ginobili to play this hand in such a crucial playoff game, but the ball had been thrown, and he didn't even rub the skin of the ball, so he could only pray that the ball would not go in. But apparently God didn't hear his prayers, and the basketball made a perfect arc, and with a "bang" it got into the basket, which was still hollow. Three points isn't a big difference, but it's not a good thing that Ginobili is starting from the outside so early.

In fact, among the GDP trio, Ginobili is the one who doesn't play his cards according to the rules. Needless to say, Duncan is a taciturn personality himself, and he studied psychology at Wake Forest University, and he does an excellent job of both tactical execution and control of his emotions. Although Parker had such and such problems when he first joined the Spurs, under Popovich's aptitude, the French sports car also put brakes on itself and knew when to do it. Ginobili is the only exception, and his style of play seems to be out of place for this team.

Probably because he comes from the passionate, freewheeling South American world, Ginobili often scratches his head with his actions on the court, and he is the kind of player that coaches love and hate. He can drag the team into the abyss with his imaginative passes or unbelievable shots, and he can also save the team in the same way, so he is a double-edged sword, always on the edge of the tactical system, occasionally playing some rounds that even Popovich can't bear, of course, for the team, as long as he can score, for example, this three-pointer just now.

Ginobili opened the beard, but Ye Feng felt very unhappy, because he didn't have a good way to deal with the Spurs' defense for the time being, and it would be difficult for him to keep his pass up to the rhythm of his teammates, after all, he was not a pure playmaker like Nash and Kidd. In desperation, he could only signal Miller and Roy to take turns attacking with the ball, while he waited for his opportunity on the side. It's clear that the Spurs' three-dimensional defense is only aimed at Ye Feng, and when Miller and Roy break through with the ball, they will switch to regular defense. But even the Spurs' regular defense is still synonymous with strength, and the Trail Blazers have become a little more difficult to score, and the players have to use more physical energy every time they attack.

Ginobili, on the other hand, continued his unreasonable style of play, with serpentine breaks, European steps and step-back three-pointers taking turns, making the Trail Blazers miserable both inside and outside. Popovich also frowned a little on the sidelines, but it was obvious that Ginobili was playing high, and he didn't look at his expression at all, but for the sake of the Spurs' firm dominance, the old man sighed and decided to let it go.

The Trail Blazers aren't afraid of the star's singles, but Ginobili's ball-handling offense is a little different from other superstars, which is a peculiar feeling. If the ball-handling attack of other stars is a dignified sword, then Ginobili is a dagger that comes out of nowhere to stab you, which is not sinister, but definitely the kind of existence that makes people feel very erratic and difficult to catch. However, just when the Spurs were about to widen the margin to double digits, Aldridge stepped up and scored five points in a row, helping the Trail Blazers stabilize their position and also stopping the Spurs' momentum a little.

Because of the existence of Roy and Ye Feng, the offensive focus of the Trailblazers is generally placed on the outside, so that the opponent subconsciously ignores that Aldridge in the team is also an excellent interior line that is constantly becoming mature and powerful. He may not be as strong in rebounding, but his jumper is one of the best in the league and an important offensive endpoint for the Trail Blazers. However, Aldridge's two-point shot is still not as crazy as Ginobili's three-point shot after all, and with Duncan and McDies on the sidelines, his jump shot percentage may not be able to match Ginobili's long-range shot.

Looking at the situation on the court that was close to getting out of control, McMillan frowned, he didn't expect that Ginobili, who was tepid in the last game, suddenly became the vanguard of the Spurs, and it seems that his scoring momentum has been a little uncontrollable, so what should the Trail Blazers do now?
