Chapter 567: The Strongest Attacker!
Chuck Parson's three-pointer was just too crucial for the Spurs.
In the words of some people, this three-point shot is very "thirst-quenching", although it is just a three-point addition to the Spurs' scoreboard on the scoreboard, but this three-point shot is completely different in stimulating the morale of players.
Spurs are a very team team, and this is reflected in the number of shots taken by the absolute core of the team. In order to allow every player on the court to be able to play, when the Spurs face ordinary opponents, David Robinson, as the core of the team, often sacrifices part of his own ball and deliberately sets aside for the players to play.
But in today's game against the Timberwolves, David Robinson's style of play is a little different from before, and the number of shots is much more than that of David Robinson in the past.
The reason for this, of course, is not because David Robinson has suddenly become selfish and unwilling to share the ball with his teammates. In fact, the most fundamental reason is that the other players of the Spurs can't play effectively, and even if the basketball is passed out, it doesn't make any sense. In the previous chase and the current stalemate.
Instead of giving the ball to an unstable teammate, it's better to do it yourself.
This kind of play that gathers the ball on the inside is quite risky, and David Robinson's own hand in today's game is also average, so it may not be able to overturn the Timberwolves if he continues to play like this.
And it is precisely because of this that Chuck Parson's three-point shot is so important to the Spurs.
This goal not only boosted the team's morale, but also woke up other role players.
The situation of the Spurs is improving, and the Timberwolves are even more vigorous!
Martial Arts has scored consecutive points since he came on the court, and his strong attack power ignited a strong fighting spirit when the fans ignited a strong fighting spirit.
As Marbury dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, Minnesota fans also tried to hold back the excitement in their hearts and quietly watched the players on the court.
Takeshi stood outside the three-point line and raised his hand to ask Marbury for the ball.
Seeing Takemi's movements, Marbury did not hesitate, and directly sent the ball into Takemi's hands, after the basketball was in his hands, Takedo did not stop, but while carrying the ball, he made a gesture towards Garnett, who was about to wrestle with Duncan at this time.
"Huh?!"
To block and dismantle.
This is still Wu Dao took the initiative to communicate with his teammates in this game to call for blocking, Garnett saw Wu Dao's movements and didn't want to quickly leave his position, running towards the three-point line.
When Duncan saw this scene, he chose to follow up after a moment of hesitation, Garnett has an excellent long-range shooting ability, and Wudao also has a good outside three-point ability.
If the Timberwolves are allowed to play freely, their Spurs may not be able to consume it.
Blocking and dismantling the position, Wu Dao also quickly moved a step sideways in the direction of blocking and dismantling, Duncan did not mean to post it, standing more than a meter within the three-point line to beware of Garnett, who may go down, but also to prevent Wu Dao from taking advantage of the start and taking himself by surprise.
There was no pause in the martial arts action of moving one step sideways, and when there was a short vacancy, he decisively stopped and closed the ball, and then under the pursuit of Chuck Parson, he lightly threw the basketball in his hand.
The basketball drew a beautiful arc in everyone's sight, and then fell into the net accurately, and the crisp sound of the basketball brushing the net also sounded in the ears of the fans.
"Three points, it's a three-point shot!"
"Immediately give the Spurs back the color, martial arts is worthy of being the strongest attacker of the Timberwolves!"
Takemichi responded hard with a three-pointer, and the enthusiastic cheers of the crowd in the Target Center Arena also resounded in the stands.
The commentator at the scene was also excitedly praising the outstanding performance of the martial arts, I don't know when the martial arts began to be, and the martial arts were already the best attackers of the timberwolves in other people's mouths.
Fortunately, the commentary did not say that Wu Dao is the best player of the Timberwolves, otherwise, if they don't wait for them and the Spurs to split the winners, the team's internal morale will probably be half dissipated.
As for the commentator's current evaluation of martial arts, I'm afraid there is no way for any opposition to emerge within the Timberwolves.
Basketball is a thing, sometimes the players are strong or not, it's very intuitive.
It is intuitive that anyone who evaluates the game can clearly distinguish whether the player is strong or not. Jordan's fans may be able to become Kobe fans, but only a very small percentage of Kobe Bryant's fans will be converted into Ado fans.
Why? Because my vision is high, I can't see such an ugly way of playing.
Martial Arts is a complete offensive kaleidoscope, and his dashing and flowing style of play is very different from Garnett and Tom.
"Kevin, I'll pass you the ball when the opportunity arises."
"Of course, don't use your damn shot in front of me,"
"Give me the punch and the impact, that old man of the spurs is not enough to stop the rushing man, right?"
On the way back to defense, Takedo and Garnett were talking.
“F… k! You're a first grader, don't try to teach me how to play! ”
"When I get the ball, I will naturally choose the right way to attack!"
Garnett pursed his mouth and said with some unhappiness. Wu Dao's words were a bit stiff, giving him a sense of command, which made Garnett a little unhappy.
Let's figure it out, I'm Garnett the boss of the team!
Of course, Wu Dao knew what Garnett's mind was thinking, and for the sake of insurance, Wu Dao added: "Look at your own performance." ”
"Of course, you're still scared, and I won't be a little surprised, after all, the opponent is the legendary center David Robinson, known as the Admiral, and it's normal that you can't break through his defense in a third year!"
Wu Dao said with a smile and came to his defensive position. Somewhat different from the previous defense, Takeshi stopped at half a step inside the three-point line and waited for the opponent to arrive.
Obviously, Chuck Parson's three-point shot role began to be reflected before, at least, Wu Dao can't unscrupulously go to the inside Duncan and others, Wu Dao he will never allow Chuck to play the touch.
After the Spurs' point guard dribbled the ball into the frontcourt, he obviously felt that the defense on the side of the martial arts was a little different, and Duncan's was also keenly aware of this, and then pulled out a little along the bottom line, and then stuck Garnett with his back for the important position.
The basketball flew quickly in front of Marbury and went directly to Duncan, who was holding the ball and looked back at Garnett's pace, and then quickly turned around.
At the moment when Duncan turned around, Garnett's front and back feet quickly swapped, and his hand was still against Duncan's back.
Garnett's defense has a clear tendency, and his staggered steps stand forward and backward, which is completely a posture to prevent Garnett from turning his back.
"Smack!" As the basketball fell, Duncan immediately gave Garnett "some" physical confrontation, and after a back shot, Duncan quickly shouldered, and then turned around to break through Garnett's left side and quickly marched towards the basket.
Garnett's prediction is completely empty, and he can only rely on his excellent athleticism to heel, if it is an average opponent, Garnett can completely block the opponent, but unfortunately, he is facing Duncan.
Duncan, who quickly entered the basket, took two big steps and went directly to the other side of the basket, jumped hard and dunked the ball directly into the basket with a backhand.
As cheers erupted from the Spurs' bench, Garnett's face also became a little ugly.
"Attack!" However, before Garnett could react, the voice of the martial arts came quickly from the front court. Garnett's reaction was a little slow, but someone on the Timberwolves' side focused on the court!
The white center, who has been pressed by David Robinson all along, saw the martial arts that rushed quickly to the frontcourt, and quickly took the ball out of the bottom line to send the ball quickly.
It's just that Cherokee Parkes's ball control is not very good, obviously too hard, Wu Dao jumped hard after crossing the halfway line to lead the basketball in front of him, and while continuing to advance with the ball, the pursuit of the Spurs also arrived.
Chuck Parson quickly circled in front of Takemichi and quickly reached out to grab the basketball in Takemi's hand as Takedo advanced with the ball. In the face of Chuck Parson's steal, Wu Dao was also helpless, and while stopping, he half-turned and protected the ball at his side.
At the same time, Takedo also used his body to block Chuck Parson's steal.
"Pretty evasion!"
Popovich's eyes lit up when he saw the smooth movements of Wu Dao, and he subconsciously praised it. At the same time, the martial arts in the court also changed for a while, and he immediately accelerated when he stopped suddenly, and instantly crossed Chuck Parson and quickly crossed the Spurs' three-point line.
“!!!”
A simple stop-and-go instantly allowed Takeshi to pass Chuck Parson's defense, and after passing the defender, he would face an empty basket!
"Bang dang!" With a neat two-handed dunk, the Timberwolves added two more points to their scoreboard.
And as the basketball entered the net, Popovich couldn't bear it and called a timeout.
"Hum—"
The sound of a buzzer sounded in the middle of the stadium, and Popovich stood on the sidelines urging the players: "Hurry up! Hurry up! ”
Coach Philip Saunders also stood up from the coach's bench at this moment, glanced at the Spurs rest area not far away, and looked at the players walking towards the rest area.
The fact that the Spurs will call a timeout at such a time cannot be said to be unexpected.
Philip just didn't expect the other party to be so decisive.
He thought that Popovich would choose to wait and see when he saw that the difference between the two teams had not been completely widened, but he didn't expect that the continuous scoring of martial arts had made Popovich impatient.
Why is it called a pause?
The first year of the opposing team is crazy about slashing points on your team's head, and you haven't missed, and if you are the coach, you will also call a timeout.
Interrupting the opponent's fiery touch is one thing, and the other reason is that Popovich wants to limit the play of martial arts.
"Tim, you and Chuck switch defenses, and you go to the first year of defense on the perimeter!"
"David, you guard the basket, support Chuck more, don't let Kevin Garnett play too casually."
Popovich quickly adjusted his defensive tactics, and he arranged Duncan to defend the martial arts, which was really helpless. As Philip said, they really don't have any outside player who can defend a scorer of martial arts.
On the bench, Charl Smith, who is worth nearly $4 million, has a foot injury and can't keep up with the speed of martial arts.
And the rest of the players
Forwards are either short, light, or slow.
Through the previous games, Popovich already has some understanding of the technical characteristics of martial arts, that is, a young "killer" who is almost full of six dimensions, and putting the kind of forward players with obvious flaws on it is to send food to martial arts.
Looking at the entire Spurs, they have no way to deal with martial arts at all, all the players still have physical strength at this time, and they still have the ability to defend against martial arts, only Duncan is alone, and whether it can be effective or not is not necessarily.
Letting Duncan change the defense is also a helpless move.
Popovich now only hopes to block this point of attack of Martial Arts first, and then think about other things.
Today's Timberwolves are the weakened version of the peak "OK" Lakers.
Just as the Spurs beat the Lakers, the Spurs can still take some measures against O'Neal, a big center with a squatting type, but there is no way to deal with Kobe Bryant on the outside.
Similarly, the combination of Duncan and Robinson is simply a "sprinkling" thing to blow up the Timberwolves' interior line.
But it is quite difficult to limit the martial arts that project terror.
On the Timberwolves' side, Coach Philip did not arrange any skills and tactics for the players, but only instructed Wudao to trust his teammates if he encountered multiple people.
Philip certainly knows what the Spurs' current predicament is, and in his opinion, the Spurs can only adopt "crowd tactics" to limit the play of martial arts.
However, in Philip's view, Spurs' wishful thinking may be in vain.
Takemichi has excellent height and excellent ball ability, and if he wants to, he can send the ball away in a situation where he is trapped.
The Spurs' guard is too short to clip a player of martial arts' height.
The pause passed quickly.
After the players of both sides returned to the court, the Spurs also launched a quick attack.
This time, the Spurs still chose to hoist the ball to Duncan in the low post, and in the face of Garnett's defense, Duncan chose to half-turn a small hook after continuous physical confrontations.
It wasn't a flashy offense, but it worked very well, with the basketball smashing on top of the rebound and rebounding into the basket.
How else to say that Duncan is a full-level rookie!
In this situation, he still calmly scored the ball, whether it was from the point of view of ball skills or mentality, Duncan can be described as perfect.
"What?!"
"What kind of play is this Spurs?"
"Best Rookie Showdown?!"
Between offense and defense, as the Timberwolves slowly entered the frontcourt, the placement of the players on the Spurs' side suddenly caused a burst of whispers from the audience in the stands.
Duncan, who used to sit in the low post, still mentioned near the three-point line at this moment, and the player he was playing opposite was the martial arts on the Timberwolves' side.
Seeing this group of matchups, the fans also boiled and began to cheer loudly.
After the pause came back, Marbury thought about assisting his teammates to play a few balls, not letting Martial Arts continue to play alone, seeing this group of counterpoints on the side, Marbury was also slightly stunned, and then shouted the name of Martial Arts and gave the ball to Martial Arts' hands.
Looking at Wu Dao, who was holding the ball in front of him, Duncan's face showed a "kind" smile.
