"Bang!"

Duncan received the ball in the left midfield for the second time, and this time Big Ben implemented a strong confrontation, which affected his shot stability and missed the shot.

Cott Thomas grabbed the rebound and went on a supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan did not attack with the ball this time, but intended to pass to Mike Miller on the left wing and let him play one.

The Spurs let Bowen switch to him, Stephen Jackson is still defending Corey Magetti, and Mike Miller is defended by Tony Parker, although Mike Miller's offensive ability with the ball is not very good, but the height difference is too big, the arm span is not counted, and the height alone is 15 cm advantage, he thinks he can still give it a try.

If you can seize this opportunity to play high and low and big and small, you can force the Spurs to change their tactics.

He motioned for Mike Miller to go inside, and Miller immediately moved from a 45-degree step from the three-point line to his left elbow.

Big Ben just entered the basket, and Duncan followed in, and immediately raised the defensive position to help defend Mike Miller.

Zhou Quan was still dribbling the ball and didn't pass the ball at the first time, because of the limitation of the three-second rule of defense, it was impossible for Duncan to stay in the restricted area for a long time, he had to wait until Duncan came out of the restricted area before passing, and the basket would be empty at that time.

Just then, Corimagetti on the right flank suddenly started cutting inside and threw off Stephen Jackson, who was not as fast as him.

"Bruce!"

On the sidelines, when he saw Corima geti cutting inside, Popovich suddenly shouted.

Zhou Quan's position was two steps away from the three-point line at the top of the arc, and Bowen took a step to guard, and then he moved and pounced.

At this time, Big Ben moved from the basket to the left wing low post because of the offensive three seconds, and Duncan was leaving the restricted area and going to the left waist position because of the defensive three seconds.

Zhou Quan moved, took a step to the right and left, and at the same time as flashing past Bowen, the basketball was instantly pulled up, and with a sharp push of his right hand, the basketball flew out in a straight line, reaching the hands of Coli Magetti, who had just cut into the right waist.

"Beautiful!"

Yu Jia drank excitedly.

"Bang!"

Corimageti took a step further and threw the ball into the basket with a one-handed slam.

"Margeti's cut is beautiful, the timing of the cut is very good, it is when there is no one under the basket, and Zhou Quan's pass is also beautiful!" Zhang Li smiled happily.

Yu Jia said: "If Cory Magetti didn't cut inside on his side, the Iron Fist King would definitely have passed the ball to Mike Miller, and just now Duncan went to Big Ben, he can just single Tony Parker." ”

"Yes, Zhou Quan should have envisioned it that way before." Zhang Li nodded.

With Tony Parker containing Zhou Quan, the Spurs' offense was still carried out by the twin towers, this time with the low-post twin towers.

Duncan received the ball in the low post on the left wing, and then David Robinson cut into the basket from the right wing, and Duncan made a fake pass with one hand, shook Big Ben and quickly hit the board at 45 degrees in the left waist position and hit a ball.

Zhang Li said: "This is the low-level cooperation tactics of the twin towers, the virtual and the real correspond, the true and false cooperation, which makes people unguardable."

If it's a hard game, Big Ben can still withstand Duncan, and he's good at defending the kind of center that is not very skilled, even O'Neal can top it.

But this kind of technical play, Ben Wallace is difficult to defend, he is really not good at defending this kind of technical interior. ”

Yu Jia nodded and said, "Yes, Da Yao beats Daben, and Daben can't prevent it." ”

6:7, supersonic offense.

Zhou Quan still let Mike Miller close to the penalty area.

His goal is for Mike Miller to draw Duncan up from underneath, and if Duncan comes up, there will be opportunities under the basket, and if he doesn't, let Miller single Tony Parker.

This time, Duncan took a step inside the left midfield, a position that could help defend Mike Miller and return to Big Ben and the basket in time, while also moving one step outside to get out of the box.

Kerry Maggeti cut inside again, and this time Stephen Jackson followed, only half a step behind and there wasn't much space.

"Bruce, don't be polite to him."

On the sidelines, Popovich's shouts rang out.

A hint of annoyance flashed in Bowen's eyes, he didn't like the manager because he hated what he demanded, and when he was in the superSonics, the manager never asked him to do that.

But he still pounced on Zhou Quan.

Zhou Quan didn't give Bowen a chance to defend closely, quickly dribbled back a step, and then changed hands to control the ball and burst Bowen from the left side.

Holding the ball from the top of the left arc and hitting the left end of the free throw line, Duncan immediately entered the restricted area and defended to the basket, and Zhou Quan faced the front and back wraps and quickly divided the ball.

Mike Miller receives the ball in the left elbow area and singles Tony Parker.

Tony Parker is 188 cm, Miller is 203 cm, plus the arm span, close to 30 cm in height, part of Parker's defensive attention is also attracted by the sudden Zhou Quan, and when he looks back, he can only look up to Miller's shot.

"Brush!"

The water splashed and hit a two-point shot.

"Good! All four of the SuperSonics' offenses were completed, and after Zhou Quan made a three-pointer, he delivered three assists in a row. Zhang said happily.

"The Iron Fist King's sudden scoring tactics are too threatening, and just now Duncan can only choose to return to the basket and dare not come up to help defend Mike Miller." Yu Jia said.

At this point, the Spurs served and then called a timeout.

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Zhou Quan has rushed to the free throw line, there is no one under the basket, Duncan must definitely return to the basket, how dare he defend other positions?" As long as he hesitates, Zhou Quan will definitely kill it, and it will be a violent slap. ”

Yu Jia nodded and said: "So Cott Thomas is also very important, he let David Robinson not have a chance to return to the penalty area." ”

"Yes, he had already made a long two points just now, and David Robinson didn't dare to let him go." Zhang said reasonably.

"Tekken, Cory Magetti, Cote Thomas, Mike Miller, only Big Ben didn't score, and the supersonic are in full bloom. The Spurs scored three goals, Duncan two, David Robinson one, and the other three have yet to score. Yu Jia said.

Zhang Li said: "The Spurs are dominant on the inside, there is no advantage in the three positions on the outside, and even at a disadvantage, plus Tony Parker was locked by Zhou Quan, and no one organized the offense on the outside, so their offense can only rely on the inside, and even their organization can only rely on the inside, relying on Duncan." ”

On the Spurs bench, Popovich stared at Bowen and said, "Bruce, I told you, don't be polite to him, you have to use the toughest defense and do whatever it takes to deal with him." I mean by any means. ”

A hint of gloom flashed in Bowen's eyes, and he was silent for three seconds, and then said resolutely: "Mr. coach, I can only defend Iron Fist with regular defensive moves, those ways you want me to use, sorry, I didn't learn it at SuperSonic, neither the coaching staff nor Iron Fist allowed me to use those moves." ”

"You?"

Popovich froze, and his eyes became more and more stern.

Tim Duncan, who had been seated for the past two seats, was somewhat silent, as if he hadn't heard Popovich and Bowen talking.

After the timeout, Bowen did not play, but was pressed to the bench, which was Popovich's punishment for him.

The Spurs sent a backup guard, the 198-centimeter Ginobili, to play the second position, and the point guard Stephen Jackson played the third position.

"Manu, you play on the flanks and you can go all out, but pay attention to the position of Thiem and David, they have a chance to pass the ball right away." Before going on the field, Popovich admonished.

6-9, Spurs attack.

Zhou Quan had seen Ginobili at the World Championships, but he was in a different group from Argentina, so he had never played, and he was present in the game where Argentina defeated the United States to finish third, and he knew a little about Ginobili.

This Argentine has a breakthrough, a three-point shot, a mid-range shot, a layup and a hand, and a defense, and the breakthrough is also very distinctive, and the ability to change direction is strong.

But compared to Tony Parker, Ginobili, who has just entered the NBA, is still a little tender and still in the adaptation period, Parker is more threatening, and he chooses to defend Parker.

Ginobili advanced forward with the ball and deliberately went to the left wing, as Parker pinned the Iron Fist to the right wing on the touchline.

Popovich was very cautious, not even allowing the ball carrier to get close to the top of the arc, and not giving Zhou Quan a chance to assist in the middle of the defense.

David Robinson still pulled to the high post, and Big Ben singled Duncan in the low post.

Corimageti defended Ginobili, who burst through with a big change of direction and hit the left elbow area, because Duncan was under the basket at this time, Big Ben didn't dare to come out to make up for it.

"Bang!"

Ginobili, who had the opportunity, did not hesitate and made a sudden stop jump shot in the left elbow area, but unfortunately his hand was a little worse and he missed.

But Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound on Big Ben's head with his height, and while scoring the second offense, he also caused Big Ben to foul.

Zhang Reasonable said: "Cory Magetti did not defend Ginobili who just came on the field, this position should be noted, Ginobili will definitely continue to attack with the ball next, if the defense of the first line is not good, the interior defender is Duncan, it will be very passive." ”

"Duncan made 3 of 4 shots, so we need to strengthen our defense against him." Yu Jia said.

Zhang Li said: "He hasn't entered the basket much, the first three offenses are nearly two points to shoot on the board, and the physical consumption is not much, so it is necessary to strengthen the defense against him."

He's not O'Neal, who doesn't shoot well from the last two points and doesn't pose much of a threat on the sideline in the paint.

Duncan is different, he has a mid-range shot, he is a threat at the waist position, and he can't let his defense loose just because he is not close to the basket. ”

Then Duncan added a free throw, played a two-and-one, chased a nine-draw, supersonic offense.

In the 7th minute of the first quarter, at 16:16, the two teams tied for the third time, and the supersonic possession called a timeout.

Kenny Smith said: "For the Spurs, David Robinson should be off the pitch. He only played an average of 26 minutes per game in the regular season this season, and 23 minutes per game in the first round, which is really old. After he was gone, the Spurs didn't have that much advantage on the inside. ”

Barkley said excitedly: "It seems that the Spurs are stronger than last year's Lakers, and there is hope for killing the SuperSonics and Iron Fist!" ”

Kenny Smith said: "Ginobili came up and was responsible for attacking with the ball, using breakthroughs to attract defense, playing with Duncan, assisting Duncan once, and he shot 2 of 4, which was very efficient. As a rookie, he is very daring to make a move. ”

Barkley said: "Corey Magetti couldn't prevent Ginobili's breakaway, Ben Wallace was pinned down by Duncan and didn't make an effective defense, this is an opportunity for the Spurs, and if it goes on like this, the Spurs will hopefully win the first away game." ”

Kenny Smith sneered: "That's because the Iron Fist King didn't shoot much, he only shot 2 of 3, 5 points and 4 assists, if he shot with all his might, how could it be like this?" ”

"So what is he waiting for? Let him attack! Barkley was not angry.

At this point, the timeout ends and the referee signals for players from both sides to come on.

In terms of supersonics, Corima was replaced by Desmond Mason, who had similar style and technical characteristics.

For the Spurs, David Robinson sat and didn't come up, and came on as a substitute power forward Marikrose, Bowen was still pressed to the bench, and Popovich felt that Ginobili and Tony Parker were working well on the court and could continue to play.

Zhou Quan held the ball to the front court, and when he was close to the top of the arc, he suddenly made a force, easily hit Tony Parker with his shoulder, and rushed down.

Seeing this, Duncan, who was defending Big Ben in the low post on the left wing, immediately returned to the basket and stayed in front of the basket on top of the reasonable collision zone.

Zhou Quan jumped when he took a step in front of Duncan, and made a layup with the ball in his right hand, Duncan jumped sideways to block, but Zhou Quan did not shoot, but slipped under the rebound at the same time, threw his right hand, and passed the ball to Ben behind Duncan.

"Not good!"

Duncan quickly turned around after landing, it was too late.

"Bang!"

Zhou Quan's just right pass triggered Big Ben's dunk mechanism, he caught the ball in his hand, immediately pulled the onion on dry land, and completed the murderous dunk on Duncan before he had time to turn.

Duncan was lunged forward, almost-eating a.

"Tick!"

The referee's whistle blew and pointed at Duncan.

"Oh roar!"

The central gymnasium suddenly boiled.

"Beautiful! It's so beautiful! Haha......" Yu Jia laughed excitedly.

"Zhou Quan made a wonderful pass, got his fifth assist, and now it is 5 points and 5 assists. Big Ben finally scored, and also caused a blocking foul from Tim Duncan. Zhang Li smiled happily.

Next, Big Ben made a free throw, but unfortunately it didn't go in, and at 16:18, the Spurs attacked.

On the sidelines, Popovich clasped his hands and shouted at the court: "Don't let him burst in." ”
