NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 138 Well Played
When catching the ball, I don't think about anything else, but to implement my own thinking, hit back hard, and give strong confrontation.

Chen Xiao's posterior deltoid and infraspinatus slammed into Duncan's body at the junction of his shoulders and back. Duncan, who had received two consecutive heavy blows to his left chest, felt his chest hurt a little.

But at the critical moment of the confrontation, Duncan restrained his mind, held his breath and took another heavy blow. His upper body leaned back slightly, but he still stabilized his figure by relying on the balance he had learned from swimming since he was a child, and he was still standing on the paint. district line.

After three strokes, Chen Xiao, who had taken two steps forward, saw that his left foot was still outside the dark blue paint area. At this time, he was rapidly depleting his physical strength after three consecutive strokes, and he chose to change.

Chen Xiao restrained himself from his tilted posture after exerting all his strength, and dribbled the ball with his right hand pocket to break through to the upper line.

Although Duncan, who withstood three backs, did not completely lose his defensive position, his feet that supported the entire confrontation also became sluggish, allowing Chen Xiao, who had the initiative on the offensive end, to grab his position.

Chen Xiao, who took two steps into the paint area, ignored Green who was trying to help defend. Chen Xiao, who had already started, fought with Duncan, who was half a body behind, and jumped up to grab the ball with his right hand and stretched to avoid it. To open up potential blocking routes, find a board to hook.

The basketball hit the center of the backboard, fell into the basket, and finished the sports game against Duncan.

After seeing the ball fall into the Nets, Chen Xiao only felt that half of his physical strength was gone, and the confrontation with old Duncan was full from position to shot.

Take a deep breath, look back at Duncan, who also has obvious ups and downs in the chest, and Duncan subconsciously raised his hand to touch his left chest, making Chen Xiao realize that it is still effective to endure the old man, and he has worked so hard. 37-year-old Tim Duncan Impossible to be indifferent.

"It was a very fierce confrontation. I think Duncan will definitely think of the 10 years in the NBA. Who else would hit him like this now? And Chen Xiao, he can choose to turn over and shoot directly, turn over hook, turn over jumper, whether to score or not Leave it to your own touch, isn’t that how he scored the first goal in the first quarter. But this time he forced his way to the basket, and finally completed the goal with a crooked hook near the basket .I like this kind of goal so much." Barkley eloquently, while speaking, mixed with the tone words expressing intense emotions.

"If Chen Xiao can directly dunk the ball in the end, then I will immediately become his fan. Now, I have to see again." Shark is still a naysayer, but finding faults is not harmful.

Chen Xiao and Duncan had a lively fight, but the Spurs didn't just have Stone Buddha.

Ginobi, who got the ball from the right wing, lobbed the ball directly into the paint with a loop hook, and Parker, who intervened, received the pass behind Walker.Chen Xiao, who was standing next to Duncan in the low post on the right, looked dumbfounded by this pass.This can also be passed on, and this can also be received?

Parker, who started with the ball, attracted Middleton's supplementary defense and put the ball straight into the hands of Green in the left corner.

After adjusting the wide open space, Green made a steady shot, and the basketball fell straight to the basket.

Still Green, half a minute later, another three-pointer, still assisted by Parker.

The [-]-year-old sports car and the immortal sword are easy to play, and Green also used accurate projections to prove why he could enjoy the same rotation treatment as GDP when he played with the Heat before.

半场结束，马刺继首节10助攻后又是一节9助攻，行云流水将分差再度拉开6分。半场以60：50领先山猫10分。

Chen Xiao, who returned to the locker room, only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and spent the next few minutes almost in real time squeezing and leaning against Duncan, while G, P and Green were on the offensive, and Duncan only needed Just run to the position and stick it, there is no extra consumption.

On the defensive end, after that one-on-one defense, Green and the others significantly strengthened their assistance in defense, which made Chen Xiao's low-post singles difficult and very unsmooth.

That is to say, Mullens hit a three-pointer to stop the bleeding after receiving the ball from Chen Xiao, and Henderson's mid-range shot was still sharp, allowing the Bobcats to barely maintain the situation. Now they are 10 points behind and the situation is optimistic. up.

Taking a look at the data sheet, the Spurs' three-point shooting percentage in the second quarter was successfully reduced by 1 percentage point as Coach Dunlap expected.

From 63.6% to 62.5%.

Chen Xiao will read the data sheets, and so will his teammates and coaches.

Before playing, Dunlap said in a firm tone: "The 6% shooting rate in the half is too accurate. In the second half, everyone defends well. Their touch will definitely become colder. There is a maximum of 3%."

OK, I hope so.

Spurs head coach Popovich, who led away at halftime, also accepted a live interview with TNT.

When asked what he thought of the first half when the players scored 63 three-pointers with a shooting percentage of 12% and almost all of the goals were assists, Popovich replied with a serious face: "The game is not over yet. , The Bobcats have strong physical confrontation, they are only 10 points behind, we can't be careless." After finishing this sentence, the sideline interview of the game was completed.

Back in the second half, the Bobcats regained their confidence. After all, trailing by 10 points at halftime is not much. Can they really go on the offensive for another halftime?Really, I don't believe it.

Spurs shooting guard Neal forcibly broke through Sessions in front of him. Seeing that Sessions was about to lose his position, Chen Xiao, who was within the free throw line, had to leave Duncan behind to defend. He spread his arms to protect the frame while preventing Neal from distributing the ball Duncan in the open.

Neil dribbled the ball into the penalty area, and after dodging Chen Xiao for a short circle, he found a suitable angle and pushed the ball. Duncan caught the ball and made a shot from mid-range. "Shuh", he scored two more points.

Today's Duncan scored 3 points by relying on 6 mid-range shots, except for a shot from another person.It can be seen that Chen Xiao's internal defense deterrence is still good, and he dare not challenge the internal defense easily with his basic skills.But it's more likely that his teammates are too C, and the offensive Shifo shoots and shoots.

Then Chen Xiao successfully received the ball in the low post. This time, Duncan half-pushed and half-yielded Chen Xiao to get the basketball half a step outside the paint, but just before he caught the ball and hit his back, Green came out again.

Chen Xiao, who was already prepared, shook his left hand and sent a second pass. Middleton, who cut inside, caught the ball and scored 2 points for a layup.

Seeing Middleton jumping up to make a shot and the basketball rolling into the basket, Chen Xiao felt that our cooperation is also very delicate. We can gain wisdom by taking a fall, and one can't always be tripped by a stone.

Eye gestures with Middleton, good pass, good shot.If it is still 10 points behind, there will be no physical celebration.

Afterwards, Neal scored a mid-range shot, but Walker also made a breakthrough and hit Dior with a shot under the basket.

In the first 4 minutes of the third quarter, the Spurs and Bobcats played inextricably again, and at least the point difference did not widen.It stands to reason that it is not a bad thing. After all, there are still more than one and a half quarters, and it is not impossible to chase 10 points.

But at this moment, Chen Xiao only felt something was wrong, why did it feel the same as the previous two quarters?
Sure enough, the big one is coming.

The sports car made an impact first, and it was not far from Chen Xiao. It was still the combo of turning around and dribbling, but this time it was from the crotch. Walker in front of him took a big step, and Duncan didn't even come over to stop The pick-and-roll caught Walker who couldn't stop on the road.

After shaking Walker away, Parker took a step in and was about to make a shot.

Chen Xiao, who was not far from Parker, definitely couldn't let go of the chance to block the shot, and swung his right hand as he jumped up.

One step later, Parker's slightly receding shot passed Chen Xiao's fingertips and fell straight into the basket. The vertical impact from top to bottom hit the net.

Chen Xiao, who failed in the defense, thought it was a pity. He looked down and saw Walker clutching his arm, with a painful expression on his face.

Chen Xiao patted Walker on the back and asked if the situation should be called for a timeout. Walker said that there is no serious problem and he can persist.

After 1 minute, Parker struck again.

Still running the Buddha's pick-and-roll, this wave of Chen Xiao pushed his footsteps to the extreme.

First, Parker was delayed forward, but Parker took off and threw it. Chen Xiao hurriedly turned around and saw Duncan catching the basketball in mid-air, already facing the basket.

It was time for Chen Xiao to return to defense. As long as Duncan chose to attack the basket, Chen Xiao was ready to chase the cap and let Shi Buddha have a taste of Chen's hot pot.

But after all, Chen Xiao didn't stand in front of Duncan, and attracted Middleton to defend the stone Buddha under the basket. He was not greedy for merit, and the moment he caught the ball and hit the ground, he threw the ball to the corner directly in front of his eyes.

Green took another shot, "Shuh", Green, who was open, was relentless and received another 3 points.

At the end of the third quarter, Walker forced Parker to face Shifo's supplementary defense and forced a layup, but was not blocked. The basketball missed the rebound and popped out.

And since Shifo can effectively supplement the defense, Chen Xiao, who follows him like a shadow, is of course also under the basket. Fouled by his own hand, he dunked the ball heavily into the basket.

The roar of the basket and the timely whistle of the referee echoed each other. It stands to reason that this is a moment to ignite the passion of the home fans.But the cheers and shouts that erupted in the Spectrum Center arena were much weaker than usual. The minds of a large number of fans have been involved nine days away. Why are the Spurs shooting so accurately today?Is there still a chance in the fourth quarter?
After dunking and adding penalties, Chen Xiao took a break after receiving the referee's pass. After completing the action, he threw the basketball. The clang of the basketball hitting the basket was not as harsh as usual, but rather blunted.

At this time, Chen Xiao also thought the same as the fans, but what he mainly thought was that the team basketball played by the Spurs' GDP and other shining role players was terrible. "Spurs motto, 5 out of 5 in a single quarter, 13 out of 10 in three quarters, the sports car kicked the accelerator and ran this classic car on the F1 track.

When Chen Xiao completed the dunk, the score was 95:74, Bobcats 74.

The Spurs led by 10 points at halftime and 11 points in the third quarter, and the Bobcats were 21 points behind after three quarters.

To say that the Spurs' three-pointers also declined in the third quarter, and it has dropped to only 5%. The hit rate in a single quarter went straight to 5%, and the Bobcats were defeated.

Tired of running in a single quarter, Chen Xiao, who wanted to run as a firefighter but was not as fast as the ball, only felt that the Bobcats' defense was full of loopholes. In the third quarter, Duncan was 3 for 1 and hit a mid-range shot. Single defense is no problem.

But Duncan's assists, there are 2 times, almost as many as the Bobcats.And the main attacker turned crazy Tony Parker's performance of 5 of 5 in a single quarter directly made Walker's feet weak, and Chen Xiao's eyes were dizzy.

And Green scored 9 of 7 three-pointers in three quarters. It can only be said that this game belongs not only to Parker, but also to him, and more importantly, to the Spurs team that is blooming with more points.

In the fourth quarter, the bobcats, who were knocked out, still sent the full main lineup. No matter whether it is to try or fight to the death, they still cannot give up easily.

In the opening scene of the fourth quarter, Chen Xiao, who had recovered his physical strength after the rest of the quarter, was relentless against the substitute center Splitter.

Facing Splitter, who is not outstanding in strength and explosive power, but is inexplicably clingy, Chen Xiao catches the ball and seizes the help defense. Before the opportunity comes, he hits back. The chest is in close contact. After gaining space, before Splitter can adjust and stick it again, he quickly turns around and completes the layup. It is said that it is a layup, which means throwing the ball to the backboard. Squeeze away from the basket and Splitter picks up the basket and puts it back.

But Chen Xiao succeeded, and the Spurs' substitutes were not relentless. Driven by Ginobili, who had enough rest in the third quarter, Mills and other promising players still used jump shots to stabilize the situation.

In the 9th minute of the fourth quarter, Popovich, who was looking for stability, replaced GDP again, and GDP, who was put on the battle again, still cooperated well. In the last 6 minutes, the situation was still stable, and the score remained firmly above 20 points. Under the circumstances, the Spurs chose to replace Duncan and Ginobili, but for the sake of stability, they still left behind a sports car that was invincible and invincible to suppress the young Bobcats.

At the end of the game, there was an episode that made Chen Xiao laugh and cry. Duncan, who had been silent all this time, passed by Chen Xiao before the end of the field, and patted Chen Xiao's ass. Seeing that the stone Buddha finally spoke, Chen Xiao turned his head. Later, I thought Duncan would say a classic line like "the future is yours".

The result was "You're playing well, big guy".Facing Duncan in this scene, the mediocre Chen Xiao didn't know whether Shi Fu was joking or serious. A man who studies psychology can't be provoked.

The motto left by Shi Fu made this game take root in Chen Xiao's memory.

In the end, the situation was hopeless, and the Bobcats, who were hopeless in the last 4 minutes, replaced the main players and conceded the loss.
