Chapter 18: One Dragon and Two Tigers
The next round is the Wolves offensive round.
Luo Long continued to play the role of single-handedly taking on the opposing team, receiving the ball from the backcourt and dribbling directly through the halfcourt, and receiving the marking of Shi Buddha in the frontcourt.
Young Duncan's athleticism was even more intense, and as soon as he stood in front of Luo Long, a huge oppressive force came to his face.
Luo Long leaned over to protect the basketball, and then calmly dribbled a few times, and a strong fighting spirit burst out from him.
The Spurs fans at the scene cheered for Duncan loudly, believing that Duncan would easily defeat the Chinese.
Luo Long knows that his real advantage is the system's must-kill blessing, and only with a step-back jumper can he win this attack. And if you want to use this trick easily, Luo Long must get a certain amount of shooting space, which is difficult to do with Luo Long's current athletic ability.
However, basketball is not a one-man sport, and pick-and-roll tactics are created to solve difficult defenses.
Luo Long gave Jefferson a look, and the latter immediately understood, ran in the direction of Luo Long from the low post, and then when Luo Long broke through, he tied a wall of flesh in the path that Duncan had to pass to move sideways defense.
Although Duncan quickly bypassed Jefferson's flesh wall with small steps, he also delayed for a while, which gave Luo Long a split second to make a move.
A rebellious evil smile appeared on Luo Long's face, and after Luo Long broke through a decisive emergency stop, Luo Long jumped high under Duncan's desperate dripping pounce, and then leaned back to shoot.
The basketball flew high over Duncan's head and then plunged into the net under the watchful eyes of everyone in the room.
"Huh!"
The sound of the Nets flipping up is so fascinating.
Duncan shrugged his shoulders, his face indifferent, he was truly the core star of the Holy City, his inner conviction was unwavering, and he was not surprised by the loss of points.
Before Luo Long could say a few trash words, Duncan had already run to the frontcourt.
The champion Lang, who was unanimously expected by the whole alliance, did not respond at all in the face of Luo Long's arrogant provocation.
It was like the sharpest dagger piercing into the water with a cold light.
The Stone Buddha is so ancient and unfathomable.
And when it was the Spurs' turn to play an offensive round, Duncan scored two points from Jefferson's head with a trick low post single.
Looking back, Luo Long once again broke through Parker's defense, slashed into the inside, and made a lightning-fast pull-up jump shot before the Shifo defense was in place, scoring two points again.
In the following time, the two teams went back and forth, Luo Long single-handedly resisted the crazy bombardment of the Parker-Duncan duo, and the Spurs' pragmatic and selfless style of play really impressed the people on the scene.
And the old man Bobo off the field has a serious and majestic face, as if he is a fixed needle for the Spurs.
At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs led the Wolves by 11 points with Duncan's final shot.
It was only the first quarter of the game, and when the Wolves players walked off the court, they saw their coach's long, dark face.
Next, Hortman vented his dissatisfaction and irritability to the fullest, and all the Wolves players were silent, only Luo Long looked disappreciative and said:
"Don't worry, coach, I haven't played at my full strength yet, and when the second quarter starts, I'll let them know how good our Wolves are."
Hearing Luo Long's words and seeing Luo Long's high morale, Hotman's anxious mood calmed down a little.
"Okay, Dragon, I take your word for it. In short, we have to remember that we are the strongest ......" The winning streak during this period has given Hortman the confidence that his appetite is no longer limited to the playoffs, so he has a lot of anticipation for this regular season season.
And Luo Long is the most critical point to win.
And after the start of the second quarter of the game, Luo Long really became an irresistible warrior, not only frequently sneaking up and dunking, but also shooting 4 of 6 in Duncan's counterpoint, and the efficiency was not low at all. And in defense, Luo Long actually gave Shi Buddha a block, gave the Spurs two breaks, and successfully won two fast breaks.
Under the outbreak of Luo Long, the Wolves were only 2 points behind at the end of the second quarter.
In the third quarter, Duncan and Parker were both rested, and Bobo must have wanted to decide the winner in the fourth quarter.
Naturally, Hortman also knew the reason to keep the fight to the end, and he also replaced Luo Long and Jefferson to rest, and the game between the two teams began to become dull.
However, in terms of bench depth, Wolves simply can't compare to the Spurs, so within five minutes, Wolves are already eight points behind.
Hortman had no choice but to send Jefferson up to recover the lost points.
At this time, Bobo also sent the French sports car that had a 5-minute break into the field, and the fuel tank of the French sports car at the moment was still very abundant.
In the next game, the Wolves completely fell into passivity, and under Parker's frequent breakthrough layups and outside three-point shooting, the Spurs had a full 15-point lead at the end of the third quarter.
Hortman was really speechless, he really felt Luo Long's role on the field, and the Wolves at the moment seemed to have no soul without Luo Long on the field.
And during the break in the fourth quarter, Hortman gave the players a good encouragement.
"You're playing well, just need to step up a bit at this point......"
"Next, when you face him, you have to defend more aggressively......"
"Pass the ball to Dragons and Jefferson as much as possible...... Their shooting percentage will help us do more. ”
And when it was Luo Long's turn, Hotman changed his previous thoughts about Luo Long, and said to Luo Long with an encouraging smile:
"Dragon, don't worry, hit me hard! I'll give you unlimited firing rights! Listen to me, in the next game, Luo Long is the absolute only tactical core, and you all have to assist him in completing every attack! ”
Luo Long looked unwavering, and said indifferently:
"Don't worry, that nerd and a French broken car are not my opponents, I will let them see our awesomeness."
And at this moment, what Luo Long really cares about is that the stone Buddha at this moment has scored 21 points, and he has only scored 15 points, and if he wants to complete the task of the system, he must withstand Duncan's bombardment in the last quarter, and score at least 7 more points.
It's not an easy task.
That unobtrusive nerd, always slashing countless points in the waves, trying to defeat him is really not as simple as it seems.
However, it is impossible to give up Luo Long, the system's generous reward.
"Wait for death, nerd! I'm going to make you break down and cry. ”
Luo Long's eyes showed a fighting spirit like a substance, and Hortman on the side was relieved.
As long as Luo Long's fighting spirit has not been exhausted, they will definitely have a chance to win this game!
