Chapter 197: First Quarter Rebounding Maniac !

Duncan's dunk ignited the passion of the home fans. The first ball was in this form, which was somewhat surprising to people, including Sun Xiaotian. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Tim has taken off! Tim took off! Did you see that? Barkley quipped.

Coming back to Hinrich with the ball over half the court, Noah went online to cover, the weak side of Butler came out, Sun Xiaotian shook his hand, and the ball went to Butler's hands. Because Gibson's off-ball cover was excellent, Butler came out without any obstacles, but although Duncan's defense was not so timely, Butler panicked first and did not dare to shoot.

"Here!"

Butler instantly looked in the direction of the sound, and Sun Xiaotian had fallen into a low position according to Green.

Sun Xiaotian held the ball, dribbled twice, and wanted to turn around and shoot, when Leonard suddenly appeared and was about to copy his ball.

Fortunately, Sun Xiaotian was prepared, and a long pass from Leonard's armpit to the hand of Hinrich at 45 degrees on the oblique side, and Hinrich raised the knife and fell.

"Boom!" The ball slammed into the frame.

However, Sun Xiaotian seemed to have known in advance that the ball would not go in, and judged the right place of the ball early, and rushed out between Green and Leonard at the moment of Hinrich's shot. When the ball fell, he leaped high and grabbed it with one hand above Duncan's head.

"That's a really high jump!" The crowd exclaimed.

Grabbing the ball, Sun Xiaotian pulled it out again, and it was Green who followed Sun Xiaotian out.

Sun Xiaotian crossed the dribble under his crotch, suddenly started to speed, and then pulled, and changed hands under his crotch. Green was also quick to reflect and was not thrown away.

But Sun Xiaotian didn't care, he seemed to stop, and the moment Green turned around, he accelerated again, and now Green became a background wall. Sun Xiaotian took a step back and made a move.

It is extremely soft to the touch.

"Boom!"

Didn't go in again!

"Today the Spurs' basket seems to have a shielding feature against the visiting team!"

Leonard grabbed the rebound and dribbled through the half. After halftime, Leonard slipped the ball straight to Duncan and everyone else pulled away.

Gibson, who was defending Duncan, used all his strength to stand up to Duncan, and Duncan dribbled with his left hand and suddenly dribbled on Gibson, then turned around and hooked his hand, and the ball stumbled into the basket.

Old man Popovich opened with Duncan, at least to Thibodeau's surprise. Everyone knows that the offensive core of the Spurs is Parker now, and Duncan's presence is also in line with Parker, because the team has been speeding up over the years.

And today's team focuses on positional warfare, mainly to see the prescription to catch medicine. Although the Bulls are not bad inside, since entering the playoffs, especially since the semifinals, the Bulls have fought almost every game. Physical exhaustion aside, the Bulls' Noah, Gibson and Boozer have averaged 10 fouls per game in terms of foul counting.

Therefore, getting the Bulls into foul trouble on the inside is Bobo's primary pursuit. Secondly, if the opponent can't defend Duncan, he will definitely wrap him up and shrink the defense, and the Spurs perimeter players will have a chance.

……

After missing their first two shots, the Bulls didn't get into the same trouble as others thought. After being beaten 8-0 by Duncan and Parker, Sun Xiaotian and Noah teamed up to score 5 points, making the two sides stalemate at the beginning of the first quarter.

The two teams reached an official timeout in the first quarter, and the score was 13-11, with the Spurs leading by two points. After the game, Popovich was furious and roared that the players had a slight mentality.

The two teams played half a quarter, with the Spurs shooting only 37.5 percent and the Bulls no better, less than 39 percent.

Bobo was angry not because the team's crosshairs were inaccurate, but mainly because he lost a lot of rebounds.

If it is said that Noah and Gibson can grab and jump, the key is that Sun Xiaotian magically got 7 rebounds in the past 6 minutes, of which 4 were frontcourt rebounds. Not only that, in these 6 minutes, Sun Xiaotian also got 6 free throw opportunities. If this momentum continues to develop, Sun Xiaotian's doubles in the first quarter will not be a problem.

"He's so excited, and he's not that reckless, blindly excited, and looking at this posture, he's ready to pocket the whole team's rebounds in the first quarter." O'Neill commented.

Interestingly, when there was a free throw on the court, Sun Xiaotian stood next to Bobo, bending down and bowing his head.

"Can you grab a few less?" Bobo quipped.

"No, no, no, I didn't want to do it, but the rebound always came back to me!" In fact, Sun Xiaotian did not say this casually, it is exactly the case.

He didn't expect to be crazy with excitement, and he didn't expect to feel so good in the first quarter, he instinctively judged the trajectory of some rebounds, and at times, he could clearly feel which direction certain balls were going.

In short, the feeling is very peculiar and very comfortable, and what is even more surprising is that this somewhat strange rebounding ball will drill into his arms, which makes Sun Xiaotian a little ecstatic, he feels that he will definitely be able to create a magical record about rebounding in this game.

In fact, in addition to rebounding, Sun Xiaotian also did a very good job of following and defending Green, and Green shot more than 40% from three-point range in the regular season this season, averaging 3 per game. In the first quarter, Green missed all three shots.

However, soon the Spurs made lineup adjustments, and Lao Shifo completed his task, with 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, and Dio came on the court. Ginobili replaces Green and Mills replaces Parker.

The Spurs' rotation is still 9 and a half rotations, but the Bulls are still in an 8-man fixed rotation.

The Bulls made a change ahead of the Spurs, replacing Butler, Hinrich and Gibson with Lee, Ruhr Deng and Boozer, and Sun Xiaotian as the point guard.

In this way, Mills was destined to be unable to defend against Sun Xiaotian, so Bobo arranged for Leonard to defend Sun Xiaotian.

Sometimes the outcome of a game is set early by the bench, and as a bench group that averages nearly 40 points per game, the Spurs have only just started the game.

When Dior and Bonner are on the court, he can both go to the high post to block and dismantle, and after dismantling, he can not go down at all and help the inside players open up space.

The basketball was handed over to Ginobili's hands, under the cover of Dio, Ginobili's anti-physics action, a fierce son pierced the inside line, under the death of Lee's death, he actually used a pass from the back of the head, and the pass was quite thrilling, Dio received the ball, and threw it to the right, Bonner received the ball, and the toad leaned forward!

"Huh!"

The ball goes into the net.

Mills then had a touch, first scoring his first point of the game with a mid-range jumper, followed by another breakaway to create a scoring opportunity for Ginobili.

However, the microwave effect of the opponent's substitute group is not what Sun Xiaotian has to worry about, what he is worried about is the person who defends himself.

Leonard !!

--------

The first quarter is over! Sun Xiaotian finished the first quarter and scored 9 points and 11 rebounds!
