Chapter Seventy-Four: The Battle of the Spurs!

Griffin still knows the Spurs very well, it is definitely a strong team at the historical level, and it gives Griffin a machine-like feeling in terms of the execution of tactics, which is especially important in the NBA, generally speaking, every time a tactic can be executed 60 or 70 percent, which is very remarkable, and the Spurs give Griffin the feeling that every time the tactics are executed, they are trying to be higher than this percentage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

It is precisely because of the inefficiency of tactical execution that it has led to the existence of NBA superstars, and some superstars are really, no matter what tactics you have, anyway, basketball is not just throwing the ball in, I can do it alone, such as the Spurs' bitter master a few years ago, Kobe Bryant.

Griffin also has some such trends now, but some tactics are too cumbersome, Griffin sometimes looks at the same meaning as he used to look at high numbers, he prefers to play freely after he gets to the position, it can be said that he has a supergiant disease before he has a supergiant.

However, in Griffin's view, the division of strength in the NBA is very vague, what does it look like to be a supergiant? Griffin re-understood it according to his own ideas, because after all, this is playing basketball, and everyone on the field will not think that people are not playing well because the other party is young, not like practicing kung fu, the longer you time, the more mellow your internal strength will be, which is not the case with basketball.

Griffin thinks that there are two definitions of supergiant, one is an honor supergiant, and the other is a strength supergiant, for example, you say Tim Duncan, is Shaquille O'Neal a supergiant? The answer is yes, and it's not just supergiants, but it's also emperor-level supergiants, but in terms of strength, it's 2010, and to be reasonable, Tim Duncan and O'Neal don't have the ability to decide the game, they have experience and tactical understanding.

So there will be such a situation in some games, Duncan or O'Neal will score a few points or a dozen points, but at the most critical time, they will use their own understanding and methods to influence the game, if it is the peak, the "critical moment" such thing may not exist, and it will be taken away directly in waves.

So Griffin thinks that his current strength is infinitely close to the threshold of supergiant, all he needs is the accumulation of time, anyway, Griffin himself thinks that in the NBA inside, there are no more than a few hands that can be at the same level as him or make him feel pressured, and all he needs to learn is how to lead the team to win.

To put it bluntly, Griffin is now on the same path as a superstar would normally grow up, showing exceptional talent in his rookie season and greatly improving his stats in his second season, such as Michael Jordan, O'Neal, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and so on.

Silently fastened his shoelaces in the locker room, every game this season, Griffin tried his best to adjust to his best condition, he didn't want to miss the playoffs anymore, they all said that the playoffs are the best alchemy of personal strength, Griffin has long been hungry and thirsty.

The inside starters of this game became Griffin and Jordan Jr., watching Little Jordan's stupid jumping up and down, Griffin was also a little smiling, in stark contrast to Little Jordan is Carman on the bench, Carman is also unlucky, due to injury, he has been put into the activation list by the team, and the comeback time is far away, and his sense of crisis has never been so heavy.

He has been playing for the Clippers since he was drafted by the Clippers, he has a very deep affection for Los Angeles, he is eager to play here until he retires, and he is also very clear about his positioning, Griffin's sideways appearance let him know that he and Griffin are not in the same position, he just wants to assist Griffin well, but who ever thought that he just had a problem, and he felt a little marginalized.

Griffin said that he still prefers to play with Jordan Jr., because Carman's rebounding is sometimes a little weak, and he has to catch defensive rebounds a lot of times, which makes Griffin a little unhappy, with his own speed, as long as Jordan Jr. is in it, he can be as fast as a guard, and then the frontcourt is equivalent to playing more and less, which is simply the best scoring weapon, and this is not to mention Jordan's frame protection ability.

So Griffin thinks that Jordan Jr. is better as a starter, and Carman is better on the bench, with a substitute, with his ability, it is more than enough to play the sixth man, but unfortunately people can't even play the bench now.

Without further ado, the moment the referee threw the ball high, Griffin immediately went directly to the opponent's frontcourt, and it was not Duncan who jumped the ball, if Jordan Jr. didn't even skip Blair, then he could retire, Davis, who successfully got the ball, didn't hesitate to make a long pass, and in the exclamation of the commentary, Griffin thrillingly completed the super long air relay.

"The Clippers gave us a gift as soon as they started! To be honest, it wasn't a great pass, but we had Griffin! ”

The audience was also very face-saving, shouting to make the atmosphere more lively, but the Spurs were just like Duncan's expression, without any fluctuations, and Parker scored on a pull-up jump shot after some simple transmissions.

Here, the Clippers gave the ball to Griffin as soon as he passed the halfcourt, Griffin took the ball and turned around, wiped Duncan behind him, and Blair, who faced the defense, threw the ball high to Jordan Jr., who smashed the ball into the frame crisply.

This kind of cooperation has been playing for nearly half a quarter, Griffin doesn't say anything in the face of Duncan's defense, I just rely on me to be younger than you, faster than you, and stronger than you, Griffin is not aiming for scoring, just letting the Spurs' interior shrink and disrupt the defense, so that whether it is an inside pass or an outside line, it is more effective.

"I have to say that Griffin has grown up very well now, he is definitely the favorite of all teams in the league, especially the teams with strong outside strength, if there is Griffin, I can assert that it is definitely a championship-level team, so, I get rid of Mr. Sterling, please look at Griffin!"

Popovich has been frowning on the sidelines, every time he plays the Clippers, he is very troubled, and the tactical execution of the Clippers seems to him to be similar to a piece of ****, but it is Blake Griffin, he can play four quarters like this energetically, and this kind of unreasonable player is Popovich's biggest headache.

When Jordan Jr. jumped high and put Hill's breakthrough directly into Gordon's hands, Gordon spread his legs and ran wildly to dunk and score 2 points, the Clippers finally overtook the score at the end of the first quarter, and the Spurs felt a little helpless in the face of the Clippers' defense in the last few minutes.

After all, Duncan's role now is more on the defensive end, not to mention 2010, even if you count 5 years in the future, there is no Duncan on the inside for the Spurs' interior defense is not easy to make a world of difference, as for Duncan's offense, there is no need to doubt it, if you really don't believe it, please take a look at the playoffs in the early 21st century, even in the face of opponents like O'Fat, Duncan can do five or five.

It's far away, so Griffin is still happy now, at least he only needs a headache how to break Duncan's defense, think about the inside line in those years, and after defending Duncan against O'Neal, it's terrible to think about.

The routine in the second quarter was basically the same, except that the Spurs strengthened their offensive efficiency, and the shooting percentage also increased slightly in the second quarter, but the Clippers started with Griffin as the starting point, which made the Spurs a little scrambling, and the Clippers also led a lot in the number of free throws.

Duncan is not angry in the face of Griffin's strength, and when he reaches this level of star, his energy is used to deal with the last time, so Griffin is very happy, especially when Blair is misplaced to defend, it is even happier, and Griffin has the final say on one step or shooting.

28 seconds before the end of the half, the Clippers' last attack, Ginobili in the previous round made Griffin not see clearly a pass that allowed Duncan to easily dunk and score, and the score gap also came to 4 points, an unsafe position, Pooh asked for as much as possible during the short timeout, and also replaced Gordon and Rasubatler.

At the end of the timeout, he first made two blocks for Davis, but unfortunately it did not change the Spurs' defense, and the dislocation did not form, Davis did not stick to the ball when he saw this, and passed the ball to Griffin, who was already in the position on the inside, after Griffin got the ball, the Spurs did not wrap it, Duncan held up a hand to cover Griffin, there is no doubt that this is to defend Griffin alone.

Griffin pressed his center of gravity very low and very low, and he was afraid of how powerful his breakthrough was, so it didn't make sense that Duncan was not afraid, Duncan really took half a step back, but Griffin didn't dare to shoot easily, this distance, Duncan's ape arm said that if you interfere with you, he will interfere with you, and he made a few false shakes on the spot Duncan didn't move, Griffin accelerated violently and rushed to the baseline position, Duncan was rushed in even if he was mentally prepared to put half a step.

However, Duncan did not lose his position, and also judged the direction of Griffin's breakthrough, Griffin saw that he could not directly attack the basket, so he immediately stopped the ball and turned to the position facing the basket, just when Griffin thought he could calmly pick up the basket, Duncan's long arm was still covered, and Griffin was shocked and had to force his body in the air and threw the ball to Gordon on the outside.

"Nima's pit daddy!" This is probably Gordon's inner monologue, a feint did not deceive Ginobili, looking at the running out of time, he could only throw it indiscriminately, the ball must not go in, Griffin who landed under the basket stuck in the position for the first time, although the ball was passed, it does not mean that he cannot score.

Jordan Jr. was directly entangled with Duncan, Blair and Griffin wrestled under the basket, as soon as the ball touched the basket, Griffin let out a low roar, broke free from Blair's restraints, rose on the spot, and flew to a desirable height.

Then the basketball bounced to the basket and bounced back quickly, usually the ball would fly to the free throw line, a very positive rebound, but today it didn't fly so far, a white hand in the air just right, the ball was obediently made up into the basket, at the same time, the red light turned on.

“OHMYGOD! It's Griffin! A blood-pumping whistle rebound before halftime! Replay, I'll have to relive the jump height that made me dizzy! ”

Griffin, who landed on the ground, stumbled a little, and little Jordan hugged him, yelling with excitement, it was too fierce!

“....... I tried my best. Blair said to Duncan with a slight drop in his head.

Duncan still looked expressionless, touched Blair's head, and returned to the locker room without any fluctuations in his heart.

With that in mind, Griffin had already scored 17 points at halftime!
