Chapter 332: Chen
At 5:47, 6.2 seconds before halftime, the Spurs finally stretched the difference between the two sides to double digits.
With Paul George's long-range shot missed, the half-time was over.
's on-site reporter found Chen Feng, as the most eye-catching Spurs player in the half-game, the beautiful reporter naturally found him.
"Well, leading by 11 points at halftime, how do you think you managed to do that?"
Chen Feng wiped the sweat from his head, gasped lightly, and said: "Before the start of this game, we deliberately made a thorough analysis of the Pacers' style of play, and we had proper preparations before the game, and most importantly, the team is unprecedentedly united, and I don't feel surprised at all to take a double-digit lead at halftime." ”
Chen Feng answered a few more questions from the reporter, and then plunged headlong into the locker room.
In the half game, Chen Feng's physical strength was consumed a lot, although Stephenson's defense was not very good, but Paul George's misplaced defense, Chen Feng played really uncomfortable in the half.
With an 11-point lead at halftime, the Spurs were undoubtedly very successful. This season, the Pacers' defense is considered to be the strongest, but the Spurs still have 57 points on them, which makes Pacers head coach Vogel very ugly.
"Damn, I didn't expect the team's defense to do anything for them. That damn Chinese kid is so strong. Paul can't even guard him, hey......" Pacers head coach Vogel sighed helplessly in the locker room.
In the home team's dressing room, Popovich was laying out the second-half tactics with his players.
'We played very well in the first half. Especially three points. In the second half, the ball should be more conductive and more run. Chen, Tony, your passing is important. Popovich said to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng nodded and said, "Understood." ”
"In the last few seasons, we were a team that was good at three-pointers. Now, we're going to have to step up our three-point shooting. Popovich said.
As Popovich said, the three-point shot was their biggest weapon for tonight's game.
In the first half of the game, the biggest threat to the Pacers. It's from the outside of the Spurs.
Horrific three-point shooting on 7-of-12 shooting. Got Vogel almost crazy on the sidelines.
…………
As soon as Chen Feng took the ball past the halfcourt, he saw three big men of the Indiana Pacers inside the three-point line, waiting for him.
Chen Feng smiled slightly. The ball is hoisted high into the inside line. The ball was easily in the hands of Derek Favors.
At this point, only Roy Hibbert was left in the basket. Compared to his excellent offense and soft touch, Roy Hibbert's defense is basically based on height, defensive awareness, and lateral foot movement are slow. The center and power forward who are nimble can easily shake it over, and it is not very quick to make up for the players who break through to the inside. The arm span is not long, so the number of caps is not much. For Derek Favors, there is no threat at all.
Hold your back tightly against Roy Hibbert and test the strength of your opponent behind you. When you feel the backlash from your back and buttocks, you can bend your left hand and push it against it with your elbow, making a beautiful lateral movement and wiping the cricket ball to score easily.
David West asked for the ball in position, and George Hill hoisted the ball inside. The former jerked backwards one by one, and after squeezing Dior away, it was a two-handed clasp.
After David West's successful dunk, he pounded his chest with both hands, and then sneered twice at Dior. David West's move completely angered the home fans, and the Spurs fans immediately booed David West.
Derek Favors takes the initiative in the low post. The Pacers' interior line was pulled away again. A one-on-one situation was formed between Derek Favors and David West.
Chen Feng did not hesitate at all. However, at this time, it was Paul George who was defending in front of him, with a lean figure and a super long arm span, he was simply a big bat, and Chen Feng did not dare to pass the ball easily in the air. With Paul George bouncing, if the ball is not high enough, it is likely to be taken straight out of the air by him.
However, the opportunity on the inside is also fleeting, although Paul George's defense is very tight, Chen Feng still sees a good passing route.
Chen Feng's upper body shook several times, and his right foot suddenly moved half a step sideways, and Paul George's spirit was immediately highly concentrated, and he had already seen Chen Feng's starting speed. The entire start-up action can often be completed in an instant.
With the movement of the body, he switched the ball to his left hand, and when he redirected the ball, Chen Feng's left hand suddenly stretched forward, and the ball bounced directly under Paul George's step.
This trick has been used many times before. Specialized in dealing with those who have strong individual defensive skills, such as Iguodala has also been hit.
Feeling the breeze brought by the ball crossing his own straddle, Paul George hurriedly turned around to make amends, but unfortunately Chen Feng's ball was very powerful, and it had already quickly appeared in front of Derrick Favors, firmly grabbed the basketball that bounced to his knees, and his body suddenly reversed, and the huge force squeezed David West out of the basket at once, and his body quickly pulled up, dunking the ball into the basket heavily.
Vogel simply has the urge to go crazy, several players of the Spurs team simply turned the entire Pacers around, the team's defensive focus was handed over to the inside, Chen Feng and Ginobili fired three times in a row on the outside, once the focus of defense shifted to the outside, Derrick Favors and Duncan's strong play under the basket, no one could defend at all.
Seeing that the victory was about to run away from his eyes, no matter how calm Vogel's personality was, his face became very ugly at this time, he was restless on the bench, and exchanged opinions with his assistant from time to time, but unfortunately there was no improvement on the court.
Chen Feng broke through with the ball, and Leonard stepped forward to make a block for Chen Feng. Chen Feng cast a look at Leonard, his lips were slightly up, Leonard was not stupid, he immediately understood, so he ran towards the basket.
After Leonard ran back into the box, Chen Feng threw the ball into the basket and waited to see if Leonard could take the opportunity.
Leonard naturally will not let go of this opportunity to take revenge, when Chen Feng threw the ball into the basket, he had already jumped high, passed David West, caught the ball in the air, and then poured the ball into the basket with both hands.
"Ahh
The ......audience burst into warm applause and cheers.
This air relay was very relieved, Leonard jumped down, his eyes met David West, there was not the slightest fear in his eyes, there was only an unyielding fighting spirit.
In the second half of the third quarter, the Spurs replaced the bench, and at this point the Spurs had led the Pacers by 18 points, with the score of the two sides 88-70.
Just ten seconds after Ginobili came on the court, he made a contribution to the Spurs.
Received a pass from Patty Mills on the baseline and hit a three-point shot.
After the Spurs replaced Chen Feng, Duncan and Derrick Favors, the firepower did not decrease much, but played more fluidly.
Under the leadership of Leonard and Ginobili, the Spurs blossomed more, especially Ginobili.
After the Spurs added Ginobili as a stable scoring point, the Pacers' defensive strategy had to change, and Leonard had already made them stretched, but they didn't expect Ginobili to benefit first.
Coupled with Ginobili's elusive passing, the Pacers are naturally even more unguardable!
When Paul George made a save to defend himself, his ball was in Jordan Hill's hands for the first time.
Jordan Hill punches Roy Hibbert and turns for a step-back jumper.
"Whew", the ball went into the net. This trick is a small gift from Duncan after he came to the Spurs!
After the end of the third quarter, the Pacers did not narrow the score, but let the margin get wider and wider. Now, with the score at 99-77, the Spurs have a 22-point lead. If nothing wonders, the Spurs are on their hands.
Popovich sat in the Spurs rest area. A smile bloomed on his face. Rao is so. He still didn't dare to be careless.
Therefore. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Popovich still sent the main lineup, but considering Parker's body, Popovich still chose to let Parker rest off the court.
Fourth quarter of the game. The Spurs' on-court lineup is: Derrick Favors, Tim Duncan, Leonard, Ginobili and Chen Feng.
The Pacers' on-court lineup is: David West, Roy Hibbert, Paul George, Stephenson and George Hill.
In the fourth quarter, the first offensive opportunity was the Spurs, and Chen Feng held the ball to organize the offense.
When Chen Feng dribbled to the Pacers' half, George Hill came up.
His attention was always fixed on the basketball beating in Chen Feng's hand. His excellent performance in steals has made him think more about steals in defense.
However, with Chen Feng's level of ball control, unless he makes a mistake, there are really few people who can break the ball from his hands, and his defensive style. It is difficult to put any pressure on Chen Feng.
"Pap" and "Pap", two rapid dribbling sounds, made George Hill's mind tight, Chen Feng's combination of man and ball in the ball control, made him heartbroken, and he tried to steal several times but had nowhere to start.
The sudden acceleration of the rhythm of ball control was the prelude to the breakthrough, and George Hill's whole body immediately tensed, and with the ball in Chen Feng's hand, he kept changing his body's defensive posture.
A cool breeze blew in front of his forehead, George Hill's heart suddenly felt cold, Chen Feng's right protruding body, at the moment when the whole set of actions was completed, rotated in place, and the whole person turned around him one hundred and eighty degrees, George Hill's center of gravity had already been adjusted to the left side with Chen Feng, and in the face of Chen Feng's change of direction, there was not even a trace of room for reaction, and he watched the opponent's mid-range shot.
