Chapter 249: In full swing
Faced with the bag of two seven-foot-long men, Billups accelerated to continue the attack, and his eyes looked directly at Chamberlain.
Duncan noticed Billups' gaze, and he subconsciously retracted his strength and took a step back, blocking Billups' passing path with his body, and also blocking Billups' vision.
At this time, it was Oberto who was defending in front of Billups, and when he saw that he was meeting Billups face to face, he didn't have time to think about it, and he took a step forward, spreading his legs and arms, and his body was as short as a wall to block Billups.
Billups still had his eyes on Duncan, but the ball in his hand was thrown to the floor.
His earth-hitting pass was so powerful that Oberto felt an orange shadow flash in front of him, and then he felt a wind blow blowing under his crotch......
Chamberlain took a step back and rushed out of the court when Billups looked at him, he went around the baseline and rushed to the other side of the basket, behind Oberto, and when the ball bounced off the floor under Oberto's crotch, it landed in his hands.
Duncan was in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do at this point, because Oberto was blocking his way. And Oberto can't do anything about it, because he's facing Billups!
After receiving the ball, Chamberlain roared and rose to the ground, raised his hands above his head and made a thunderous dunk, and the basketball hoop was crumbling!
The fans in the arena didn't catch their breath until this time, this offense was so exciting, the Warriors played such a ball at the beginning, which made the fans cry out, and they had a hunch that it was worth it to buy a high-priced ticket this time.
After a sigh of relief, cheers were cast in place, and deafening screams rang out from the ATT Center arena, with Billups and Chamberlain running backwards with high-fives, and Parker looking ugly.
Parker dribbled to the three-point line around the 45th corner, facing Billups' defense, he dribbled under his hips twice in a row and then suddenly accelerated a diagonal surge, his speed is top in the NBA, and his body immediately faced Billups after taking a step.
After taking a step, Parker's shoulders shook and quickly changed direction, he dribbled the ball again, and when he landed with one foot, he immediately jumped to the inside with his foot, and before he landed on the ground, he received the ball in his arms, raised his arms and made a throwing position.
This is Parker's killer feature, and it is also the trick he relied on to become famous, and the fans gave him a name, which is the step throw.
This trick is famous, and many fans and even smaller NBA players are practicing it, first simplifying the three-step layup to one step, two feet and one step and then jumping. Small guards are very good at three-step layups, and NBA stars are the best of the best, and they all have their own set of tricks to disrupt three-step layups, which are often disrupted by the rhythm of the opponent's layups or followed the wing block.
The step throwing is improved from the three-step layup, and the lethality is increased tenfold, because this offense has a terrible suddenness, Parker is fast, and he can open the distance from the opponent in one step, and then use the force of his feet to jump forward quickly, and he can immediately throw off the defender himself, and throw the ball out of the ball with one hand after the most rear, so that even if he is facing the center to make up for the defense, the throwing arc is high enough, even God can't cover it.
However, this move is suspected of walking, if you take a step out of the jump speed is not fast enough, it will be blown by the referee as a walking violation, and your breakthrough step must be fast enough, the jump speed must be fast enough, and the speed of throwing must be fast enough, this move is the sword to go to the front, and it is also the secret weapon of the Tang Gate in Chinese martial arts novels, once the speed is slow, then wait to be stuck by the other party or blocked into ****.
Of course, Parker's speed is fast enough, Billups is so experienced in defense, and in the face of Parker's sudden breakthrough and then jumping and throwing, he can only try to interfere, but Parker's move has been tempered a thousand times, and he hit it after throwing his shot.
The scene once again burst into explosive cheers, and the sound resounded through the sky!
Billups laughed, and when he landed, he nodded to Parker and said, "Good job, kid, but you won't succeed next time." ”
Parker smiled and retreated to defend, in fact, Billups is not bragging, the premise of this move to work is to have suddenness, otherwise it will be a surprise attack, and as long as a player of Billups' level has a sense of defense, Parker will not be able to play.
Chamberlain and Parker opened up the situation for the team, and then West broke through with the ball, his mentality was a little anxious, and Finley seized the opportunity to make an offensive foul, but then, when Parker broke through with the ball and attacked the basket and threw it again, Chamberlain rose up and slapped the ball down.
Billups fast-break with the ball and straight to the hoop, jumped up in mid-air and dodged Duncan's block with a turnaround layup to add two more points to the Warriors.
However, the Spurs are an old powerhouse, reaching the playoffs for nine consecutive seasons and winning four championships, and they quickly stabilized their position after encountering a fast break, but the Warriors also played with a lot of energy, and after a battle between the two sides, the opening game was tied at 6.
Nelson Sr. called a timeout and said in a deep voice: "The San Antonio team is holding the line, obviously going to play a defensive battle today, which is what they are good at, they can get four key points, and there is no doubt that they rely on that." ”
The Warriors players nodded, they were all a little nervous, they used to play running and shooting, and they were most afraid of this kind of bucket defense.
Seeing this, old Nelson laughed and said lightly: "But it's nothing, Popovich's defense is still learned from me, what he is playing now is a trick that Lao Tzu was tired of playing many years ago, look at me, I will make them look good." ”
Then he began to deploy tactics: "I have recently been studying the Art of War, and there is a tactic in it that is 'Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang', forget it, this Chinese culture estimates that your IQ is not clear, I will simply say, after the game starts, let De Longti control the ball, what you have to do is to break through, break through, break through at all costs!" Don't stick to the ball after the break, whether anyone follows you or not, be sure to divide the ball, the first ball is given to Chauncey, Chauncy you have to wait outside the three-point line, find an empty spot and wait......"
After some deployment, the timeout ended, West got the ball to attack at the beginning, and sure enough, seeing this scene, not to mention the fans on the spot, even the Spurs players were dumbfounded, and Barkley was full of depression in the TNT live broadcast room, and said:
"Damn, no wonder they all call old Nelson mad scientists, this old man is crazy for research, they have a top playmaker like Billups, how can they let West's mad dog hold the ball and organize the offense? What a freak, look at how Spurs cop. ”
Old Nelson is crazy? West was even more frustrated, after getting the ball, he immediately began to rampage against the Spurs defense, his breakthrough was purely a breakthrough for the sake of a breakthrough, not a score, so a few clicks made the Spurs outside a hole.
West has been looking for this opportunity, Billups quietly shook off Parker and rushed to the bottom corner of the three-point line, West hurriedly passed the ball, got the ball Billups shot quickly, the basketball spun and flew out, after a beautiful arc in the air, the most accurate fall into the hoop, set off the net like snow-white waves.
Relying on Nelson Sr.'s surprise move, the Spurs were a little scrambling, and after Billups hit the Warriors' first three-pointer of the game, West then passed the ball to Billups, and this time Billups didn't shoot, but came to a strength test transfer and passed the ball to another man in the bottom corner, Jackson.
Jackson also has a three-point hand, and he also made a quick shot when he got the ball, helping the team hit a second three-pointer.
Under West's rampage, Billups and Jackson led the Warriors to complete an 8-0 small **** and lead the score 14-9.
Nelson Sr. called a timeout, and halfway through the first quarter, Ginobili came on.
GDP joins forces to play, and the Spurs' tactics are very clear: resolutely attack the Warriors' interior!
Ginobili first bit the score with a three-pointer, and then Duncan forced the inside to cut down 2 points, and the Spurs responded to the Warriors' wave of 9-2 small ****, chasing the score to 20 in one fell swoop.
Since then, the two sides have been fighting iron, for this kind of battle of Tianwang Mountain, what surprise attack, what strange tricks are fake, only defense is real, defense for the game is like fighting bayonets for a world war, this is the mainstream.
Then Duncan broke the scoring drought with a strong shot under the basket, and Ginobili hit one of two free throws after Jackson fouled, but Chamberlain made a foul on Kent Thomas one second after the last one second, and responded with one of two free throws, and finally the Spurs ended the first quarter with a 23-21 lead.
In the second quarter of the game, the Spurs still unswervingly implemented the defensive battle strategy, the elder Nelson commanded his men to carry out strong attacks, Jackson and Ellis were on the court at the same time, playing their best mess, Ellis caused Bowen's defensive foul and two free throws to equalize the score, but then Parker assisted Thomas to sneak inside to score, and the Warriors tied the score at 27 in the fast break.
The scores are always deadlocked, the Spurs have a better mentality, the Warriors want to open up the situation, Chamberlain is the youngest, most competitive in the team, and the core of the team, this responsibility is naturally in his hands.
Billups dribbled steadily forward, Ginobili and Parker switched defenses, the latter went to deal with the faster Ellis, and in the face of Ginobili's oppressive defense, Billups passed the ball to West without a strong fight.
After West got the ball, he took a big step to test Parker's consciousness, and the latter was vigilant, seeing that West was no longer polite, his other heel rose from the ground, and then he ran out of the ball.
Parker was only starting to start at this time, he was faster than West, and he kept following the flank to interfere with him, Chamberlain saw West rushing directly to the inside, so he ran out of the box to make way for West, and Kent Thomas rushed into the box to fill the space created by Duncan following Chamberlain away.
Chamberlain ran out of the box and then ran back, Duncan was a little slower than him, and fell behind. Seeing this, West did not hesitate and immediately passed the ball to Chamberlain.
After receiving the ball from West, Chamberlain's legs were tense like pieces of steel after retracting the ball, but he first made a gesture and pretended to shoot, Duncan jumped up and wanted to block, but after jumping, he found that Chamberlain just made a feint, and he took the ball and continued to rush to the penalty area.
Chamberlain flashed past Duncan, and rushed into the restricted area in two consecutive steps, like a green dragon glaive knife sweeping through the enemy camp, he ruthlessly **** the inside line, and rushed to the basket out of the world.
Seeing this, Thomas gritted his teeth and went up, he was proud of his previous awareness of filling positions, if he hadn't entered the restricted area in time, Chamberlain's dunk would have been unguarded.
Facing Thomas's strong body, Chamberlain took a step forward, and his shoulder slanted directly on the opponent's chest, Thomas screamed, and after encountering Chamberlain's speed, explosiveness, strength and body impact, he felt as if he had been hit by a galloping tank, and his body flew backwards involuntarily.
Chamberlain squeezed away Thomas, who had already stood firm under the basket, he stomped on the floor with both feet, as if stepping on the ground not on the ground but flying into the sky like a spring, he held the ball in both hands like a god holding the sun, a bow and both hands held the ball to the shoulder, directly it was a violent dunk!
"Boom!" With a roar, the basketball hoop shook violently, like willows in a storm.
"Toot!" The referee's whistle blew immediately after, he made a cross-waist movement, and then waved his hand in the direction of the Warriors' offense, the meaning is simple, Kent Thomas didn't jump under the basket, this is a blocking foul, and he has to add a free throw!
