Chapter 284: It Doesn't Feel Right!
The competition has officially begun. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This game has attracted a lot of attention because it is broadcast live in the United States. While the nature of the Spurs makes it impossible for them to have a feud with any team, the two teams will go all out to win every time they meet the Bulls because they have met in the Finals.
"Although the Spurs are a year older, they are still the old and spicy team, and the Bulls are stepping on the body of the Spurs to become the rising upstart in the league, not because the team is full of senior players, but because there is an unborn talent Sun Xiaotian."
After the jump ball started, the Spurs got to the ball, Parker possessed the ball past half court, and the first offense began.
Sun Xiaotian is responsible for defending Green, and Green is coming back to defend Sun Xiaotian in regular time. To be honest, defending Sun Xiaotian is a tough thing for Green. He remembered that whenever he met Sun Xiaotian in the past two seasons, Sun Xiaotian must have eaten himself raw, and against the Spurs in his career, Sun Xiaotian averaged 30+ data per game, which is the reason. For the first ball, Parker hoisted inside to Duncan. Duncan still uses his excellent skills to try to force one.
Duncan held the ball with both hands and leaned against Gasol, suddenly turned forward and leaned on Gasol to the paint area, his right hand was suddenly raised high to hook his hand, Gasol's body continued to move forward, and Duncan suddenly closed the momentum, then turned around, shook Gasol, came to a swing tail, scored a low-handed layup, and the Spurs took the lead in scoring.
Duncan is in good shape, and his skills and awareness are still very good.
The Bulls players started to attack, and the Spurs immediately laid out their own defensive lineup, and it was obvious that they were dealing with the Bulls today, to put it bluntly, against Sun Xiaotian, and using the pressing defense that they have always used more often.
Many people understand that this kind of pressing defense of the Spurs is actually more vividly called inducing defense.
Sun Xiaotian and Gasol came to a block, Sun Xiaotian smoothly entered the inside, Green followed Sun Xiaotian unhurriedly, Sun Xiaotian was trying to go down to the basket at the moment, Duncan suddenly opened his hand and stepped forward, and at this time, Green also suddenly went to pick up the ball in the back.
"It's another trick!" Sun Xiaotian reacted quite quickly, jumped up and passed back to Rose who was at the top of the arc, Rose dribbled under his crotch and changed direction, then accelerated twice, directly past Parker, and hit the ball against Duncan's lever.
When the basketball came to Duncan's hands again, Rose had been wandering around him, ready to wrap Duncan, and Duncan just wanted to turn around, and Rose hurriedly stepped forward. However, at this time, the basketball immediately passed to Parker, who was already in the open position on the outside, and Parker wanted to shoot three-pointers, but he was not confident in his long-range shot.
Parker made a feint to trick Rose, dodged and smartly entered the inside, and came with a throw from Noah and Gasol.
Accurate access to the network!
came back, after Rose dribbled over half court, he passed the basketball to Sun Xiaotian, and then Gasol came up to block and dismantle as usual, Sun Xiaotian rushed all the way to the inside, but, when Sun Xiaotian came to a place not far from the depth, he put away the basketball and tried to make a layup, but Duncan's defensive awareness was simply first-class, and Sun Xiaotian couldn't shoot, so he had to pass the basketball out of the line.
After Butler received the ball, there were only 9 seconds left to attack.
"Go away! I'm going to hit one! ”
But it was Leonard who was in front of Butler, and Butler used all his strength to attack Leonard.
"!! here"
Butler heard someone calling him behind him, no one else, it must be Sun Xiaotian, because he was the only one on the field who could speak Chinese, which also became an "important tactic" in Thibodeau's mouth.
Butler knocked back to Sun Xiaotian, who was outside the three-point line, and Sun Xiaotian didn't allow himself to think about it or adjust it at all, so he took the ball and shot directly, and the moment he shot, the red light lit up.
"Huh!"
Waves bloom in the center of the net!
Then the Spurs adopted Parker and Duncan's high-post blocking tactics, Duncan just made a block, and immediately went down after dismantling, taking away the defender, Parker shook his shoulders while traveling, Gasol abandoned Duncan, followed Parker left and right, Parker suddenly made a move of his signature action gyro turned, however, Gasol's height and arm length caused great interference to Parker's shot, but the tacit understanding of the year was like a day, Parker still smelled Duncan's breath, and he threw it behind his back, The ball went directly from Gasol's armpit to Duncan's hand behind him, and Duncan didn't jump, so it was "rested" in!
As he got older, Duncan could no longer play the way he used to, and even then he wasn't very exciting. A few years ago, under the "pressure" of Popovich, Duncan successfully lost weight. The reason was that Popovich told him that the team was going to pick up the speed.
At his peak, Duncan's strength level was not outstanding, and in his later years he lost too much weight, and he wanted to be one-on-one like before, but the opponent was no longer possible. In both seasons, Duncan's shots were mostly focused on jumpers near the free-throw line and inside cuts after pick-and-rolls. Its back-to-back singles are not commonly used at all, unless it is obviously misaligned, because in today's league, most interior players Duncan can't carry it.
---------------
The game was fast-paced, and after more than four minutes, the two sides were tied at 13, and it was Popovich who called a timeout.
When you look at the shooting percentage, the Bulls are 6 of 7 and the Spurs are 6 of 8, and the shooting percentage is super high.
"Popovich can't stand a game like this, he's a paranoid, he'd rather not score himself than let his opponent score."
However, although both sides played a game with a high shooting percentage, the reasons for this are completely different for the two teams.
The Spurs' offensive efficiency is because they are like a tireless machine, every player is a screw in this machine, everyone is a part of the tactics and a part of the finishing offense, so, look at the scores, the Spurs starting five have scored.
However, the Bulls' ultra-high shooting percentage relied on individual ability, and among the 13 points, Sun Xiaotian scored 7 points and Gasol scored 6 points.
Although Sun Xiaotian's offense feels good, but in the dark, Sun Xiaotian feels that something is wrong, because the Spurs' defense of him has changed significantly compared to the past, which makes him feel a sense of crisis. This sense of crisis made him feel that something bad would happen at any time. Because, he can barely get under the basket to score, all outside shots.
Sun Xiaotian understands that if he is kicked out of the interior and can only rely too much on his mid-range shot and jump shot outside the three-point line, in that case, the Spurs are happy to see it, because the connection between everyone and Sun Xiaotian is severed, isn't that what the Bulls lost this season?
