Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 132 In addition to injuries, this is also part of basketball!

Beep——!
The whistle sounded and Duncan defeated Nowitzki to get the ball for the Spurs' first attack.

This is the gap in talent between the No. 97 pick in 98 and the eighth pick in .

Parker advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Nash led the defense.

Tan Yang watched out for Ginobili.

“In the first round, look how the Spurs attack?

Oops, it was a routine operation again. Parker immediately lobbed the ball to the left side of the basket without even thinking about it.

Duncan received the ball with his back and headed it, and Nowitzki used his shoulders and hands to withstand it.

Nowitzki was in a tight situation and he couldn't hold it anymore. Fortunately, he waited until Finley shrank back to help defend. Let's see how Duncan plays?
Sure enough, he passed the blame..."

Duncan was flanked and did not fight randomly. Instead, he played inside and outside and distributed the ball to Bowen in the left three-point corner. Finley quickly turned back to defend. However, Bowen did not shoot. Instead, he took a step and distributed the ball. To Parker who is outside the 75-degree three-point line on the left.

“The Spurs played very patiently. If they couldn’t hit the low post, they would hit the corner three-pointer. If they didn’t have the confidence to shoot, they would move to the left wing.

Parker faced Nash again. He didn't hesitate and immediately broke through with the ball. He went in, and the matchup advantage was on Parker's side.

He pulled it out, reached the paint area, changed direction and made a pull-up jumper. He raised his hand and shot a two-point pull-up jumper..."

Nash's defense was not inactive, but it was of no use. Parker, the French supercar, was too fast and sharp. When he got the offensive space, he immediately took a quick shot. After finishing the game, Nash could only listen to the gunshot.

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

"pretty!!

Parker's mid-range shot was too accurate.

Of course, it's Nash again.

His defense failed again. When he is on the court, his defense is always a good dessert..."

2 to 0! !
After scoring the goal, Parker had a lot of emotion on his face, as if he was convinced of Nash's defense.

On the sidelines, Nelson was troubled by Nash's defense, but Nash has been with the Mavericks for five years. He was doing well when he came, but now he can't go back and can only go all the way to the dark side.

If the offense can be returned, there will be no problem.

During the transition between offense and defense, Walker made a quick pass from the baseline. Nash caught the ball and was about to push for a fast break, but was immediately forced by Parker, as if he had predicted it.

However, Nash chose to quickly throw the ball to Nowitzki next to him, received the basketball, took a step, and quickly distributed the ball to Tan Yang who was about to cross the half court.

“The Mavericks’ run-and-gun game is still coming.

With a starting layout of two point guards and two shooting guards, and with a supporter like Nowitzki, it is also a difficult problem to completely suppress the Mavericks' acceleration.

Qin Yang received the ball and advanced, facing Ginobili who quickly returned to defense. On the other side, Bowen followed Finley, forming a two-on-two situation in the frontcourt. Although the situation was favorable to the offensive side, it depends on the cards. , this is a 50-50 situation.

Tan Yang pushed the ball to the left. Oh, he stopped. Was he going to shoot when he lifted the ball?

Oh no, he pressed the rhythm, and then distributed the ball to the middle.

Beautiful, Walker rushed back..."

Walker, who served quickly from the baseline, was one step ahead of Nesterovich and came back early.

Cutting from the center, receiving a pass from Tan Yang, he immediately broke through with a European step and went for a layup...

Bowen let go of Finley and quickly returned to defend the basket, but it was of no use. Walker had a height advantage and could still hit the basket high. Bowen only had defensive skills, but in the face of physical talent, he could only listen to the gunshot.

Swish-!
With his hand raised and his knife dropped, Walker's offense was ready.

“Very nice transition between offense and defense.

The Mavericks have mastered the essence of running and gunning.

The entry point of the attack is also very simple, that is Walker, who is 2 meters tall, and his speed is a hundred million points faster than Nesterovich, who is 06 meters tall..."

Use fast to fight slow, use more to fight less... The core of the 7-second run-and-gun tactic is so straightforward.

The offensive opportunities created by "running" are not only a matter of the back line and forward line, but also the speed duel between the centers is also very critical.

The Spurs' "twin towers" inside are naturally very troubled by this.

2 to 2! !
On the sidelines, Bo Povich's face was calm.

Speeding up is something that can be controlled.

After a game, it is impossible for the Mavericks to get too many opportunities to speed up and play run-and-gun.

Positional warfare is the mainstream! !

Entering a positional battle is to enter the rhythm of their Spurs team. This is "their horse", so there is no need to panic.

Looking back, Parker controlled the ball to the front court and continued to lob the ball to Duncan in the low post on the left.

"here we go again!!
The Spurs' tactics are so boring.

It's another low-post attack with open hands. If you close your eyes, you know what position they will play. It's so damn monotonous.

Knowing that the Mavericks have already taken action, but still going ahead, it’s really hard to bear..."

Bang-!
Nowitzki is also very difficult to stand with his hands and shoulders.

Fortunately, Finley came back in advance to help defend, so there was no need to worry about Duncan "flying".

Sure enough, as soon as Finley shrank toward the basket, Duncan played "reasonable basketball" and distributed the ball to the left three-point corner.

"Bowen caught the ball in the corner, he was empty, he lifted the ball, he shot, oh no, he jumped up and flicked it in the air, and gave the damn basketball back to Duncan under the basket.

Finley helped defend to the basket, and then saved from the outside. He was very active and worked hard, but he was lonely.

In the end, Nowitzki had to handle Duncan's duel alone.

Duncan caught the ball again, turned to face the basket, and immediately broke through with the ball.

Before Nowitzki could make other moves next to him, Duncan lifted the ball and rushed to the basket. Oh no, he feinted a shot towards the basket. Duncan turned around and swayed Nowitzki away. Then, he turned around and hit the board with a hook shot under the basket. Take action..."

Boom, swish—!
After the basketball hit the board, he accurately drilled into the basket.

Nowitzki smiled helplessly and shook his head, but after the goal, Duncan's face was paralyzed with emotion, as if the goal that just happened had nothing to do with him.

“The Spurs played too patiently!!

In addition, Nowitzki's defense is still too weak. If he can't find a chance once, he will try to find a chance for the second time.

There will always be times when Witski is left alone. Whenever there is a one-on-one direct draw opportunity, Duncan dares to step in and kill Nowitzki's defense.

The Mavericks' flanking tactics were executed too well, and their personal defensive abilities were not good enough, so they could only focus on one thing and lose the other. "

"It can only be said that Nelson is also a talent. How did he think of and do it to put Nash and Nowitzki together on the same team?

The offense is excellent, but the defense has two fatal flaws?

The internal and external lines are lost, how do you block it..."

4 to 2! !
Tan Yang showed no expression, just watched quietly, acting like a soy sauce guy.

He defends the right area, but the Spurs mainly attack Duncan on the left. He doesn't play much defensively, so he can only watch the show.

In transition, the Mavericks attack.

It is no longer possible to increase the speed and play faster. It is not easy to sneak attack once. It is a difficult problem to sneak attack on the Spurs twice.

In the position battle, Nash controlled the ball to the frontcourt, immediately passed the ball to Tan Yang who was outside the 75-degree three-point line on the right, and then cut to the basket without the ball.

“The Spurs’ twin towers are basically impossible to defend.

With both Nowitzki and Walker evacuated, it makes sense for Nash to make air cuts without the ball and go to the basket to hit the big one.

Nowitzki moved toward the top arc from the left, and Tan Yang made a move to pass the ball in the direction of the top arc.

Oops, it was predicted. Ginobili forced Qin Yang's left side. At the same time, Bowen, who was switching to guard Nowitzki, also guarded Nowitzki like a piece of brown sugar, without giving any chance to Nowitzki. Chance to catch the ball.

Hey, Tan Yang made a fake pass, dribbling the ball to the right and acting recklessly.

Beautiful, Ginobili turned around and moved sideways to defend.

What the hell?

Tan Yang pulled out and broke through to the corner area. Without thinking, he raised his hand and shot a two-point pull-up jumper..."

Ginobili followed up and Nesterovich assisted in defense, setting up a flanking defense for Tan Yang. Before the net could be closed, Tan Yang pulled out and shot. They could only listen to the gunshot.

Bang-dang——!
Not everyone is like Kobe, who used unsolvable mid-range shots to kill the Spurs.

Tan Yang's idea of ​​copying his homework was good, but Tan Yang's mid-range shooting ability, which had the template of Kidd last year, was useless, and his two-point shot missed. “No hit!!

Tan Yang is still too young.

Of course, the Mavericks and the Spurs, these two teams are all too familiar with each other.

The Spurs' defense predicted in advance, blocked Nowitzki's receiving attack, and allowed the rookie Tan Yang to attack.

Sure enough, Tan Yang's offense couldn't penetrate the Spurs' defense.

Ugh, what the hell?

In the scramble for rebounds, it was Tan Yang who recovered the missed basketball. The Mavericks' offense was not over yet.

Tan Yang landed on the ground and passed the ball to Nowitzki who cut in from the air. Oh no, it was also a false shot..."

At this time, I saw Ginobili being knocked away by Tan Yang. This demon sword liked to take risks and steal. Unexpectedly, after Tan Yang missed the first shot, he dared to continue to take the second shot.

Ginobili was sent flying, and Qin Yang immediately rushed to the basket for a layup...

Boom, swish—!
The closer he is to the basket, the higher his hit rate. Lu Xun is indeed a member of the flower-growing family and does not lie to the flower-growing family.

This ball, Tan Yang's shot, he had it.

“Great job!!

Tan Yang played too calmly.

Although his mid-range shooting ability is not enough, he can make up for it with quantity. With the help of self-shooting and self-grabbing, Qin Yang’s scoring continued to add to the Mavericks’ offensive firepower..."

4 to 4! !
Snapped--!
When returning to defense, Nowitzki didn't pay attention. Tan Yang was too independent and didn't pass the ball, so he took the initiative to give him a high-five and said.

“The Spurs are a different elite team!!
This is how we should fight, unreasonably and resolutely.

Tan, you did a great job! ! "

"..."

Looking back, the Spurs' offense is still routine.

Parker faced Nash, who had an advantage, and still chose to pass the ball.

“This execution is so ruthless!!
If a tactic works, keep fighting.

That damn basketball was delivered to Duncan's hands again.

The Spurs' strongest point is the Mavericks' biggest weakness.

Then play music, then play low-post offense, which makes sense.

But with the Spurs' clear-cut style of play, the Mavericks have long since learned to respond..."

I saw that Duncan had just received the ball, and Finley had already helped defend to the basket, and Nowitzki continued to form a flanking defense against Duncan.

Duncan played very reasonably, but he still didn't hit the ball randomly and passed the ball out of the baseline.

“It’s Bowen catching the ball again, an open three-point shot in the left corner.

Finley turned around and jumped out, oh, his pace slowed down, this was a snake release tactic, oh no, this was a Bowen release tactic, this was because he didn't regard Bowen's three-point shot as alive.

Bowen was not used to him, so he pulled it out, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."

Finley reached out to Bowen Equation randomly, then turned back to the basket and prepared to grab the board.

Compared to Duncan's threat under the basket, Bowen's open shot and three-point shot are nothing to worry about.

The question is how many points Bowen scored from three-pointers. The Mavericks' group of outside shooters will only score more points.

Bang-dang——!
The opportunity was given, and Bowen's three-point shot failed.

“The iron is missing!!

OMG! !
You call this a championship puzzle?
Bowen's three-point shooting has declined too seriously compared to last season, right?

In the playoffs last season, he averaged 44% shooting per game. In the first round of this season, he only hit 37%, a drop of 8%.

You know, this season is Bowen's contract year?

With this performance, it is difficult to get a good contract extension..."

Bowen failed to use the opportunity and missed a three-pointer.

The rebound was picked off by Nowitzki, and he immediately distributed the ball to Nash for a counterattack.

The Spurs continuously let Duncan attack in the low post. Their twin tower offense went too deep. If they wanted to quickly return to defense, they obviously couldn't go back.

As long as the Mavericks switch offense and defense faster, they will have a good chance of getting a play with more and less.

Beep——!
“The whistle blew and Ginobili committed a foul.

The Spurs paid the price for the foul and also had to slow down the Mavericks' offensive speed.

It has to be said that under the coaching of Bo Povich, the Spurs players on the court are all veterans.

With one "we make" foul, a very good counterattack fast break opportunity for the Mavericks can be destroyed..."

This is called professionalism and experience! !
Off the court, Nelson looked a little solemn.

Bo Povich has too much experience in dealing with run-and-gun teams, and it is impossible to give them a smooth and comfortable offensive rhythm.

The more the game is cut up, the more fragmented it is, and the worse it is for the offensive players' condition on the court. For the defensive team, they don't have to care about the offensive rhythm and fluency at all. They can drag the game to the pulpy level they like, and then compete with their opponents on defense. Strength is the rhythm of the game that they are best at.

“So, the Spurs in the playoffs are the most difficult to deal with.

The question is, in the regular season, their actions will be restrained.

To save face for the league, if you go too far in the playoffs, it is worthy of forgiveness..."

On the court, Nash couldn't break through Parker's crab-step defense in the frontcourt. He couldn't break through at all.

In the era of HC rules, especially the defensive intensity in the playoffs, with Nash's weak technical breakthrough, he can't pick up the speed, and there is no way to use breakthrough to kill.

There is no choice but to distribute the ball and then play without the ball.

After all, the Mavericks have multiple starting points for their offense.

"Outside the three-point line on the right wing, Qin Yang was holding the ball and shaking it left and right. Seeing that Ginobili was still pressing on his left side, he still chose to break through with the ball.

He went in, what the hell, he pulled out, oh no, Tan Yang made a sudden stop and jumped high. Instead of trying to test the Spurs' defense with a mid-range shot, he threw the ball in the air to Nowitzki who was leading the arc.

Finally, Nowitzki received the basketball. He tried to break through and get rid of Bowen's close defense left and right. Then, he pulled out and really shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."

Bowen, who is 2 meters tall, is very active in defense, like a piece of candy that cannot be shaken off. He has achieved the ultimate in defense.

It's a pity that Nowitzki was unreasonable. He swung left and right to create space, pulled up and shot, and used his height and shooting talent to eat Bowen alive. He could only bet that Nowitzki's three-point pistol was out of bullets.

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

Wrong guess, Nowitzki's three-point pistol has bullets in it.

Three-point shot, accurate hit.

4 to 7! !
“Yes!!

Well done! !
Nowitzki has the talent to be a king-level scorer and easily handles Bowen's defense, so that the Spurs know that Nowitzki will be beaten if Duncan doesn't come out to guard him.

This three-pointer was extremely lethal and, of course, extremely insulting.

Bowen was left open and missed a three-pointer. Nowitzki made a pull-up three-pointer against Bowen's defense but hit it accurately. This is using shooting to teach the Spurs how to behave.

Oh, Bo Povich asked for a tactical timeout at this time..."

What is this operation?
The Mavericks' offensive rhythm continues, and the Spurs interrupt?
Foul, strengthen defensive confrontation, call tactical timeout, hurt someone...

This is the ability of top coaches to control the rhythm and situation on the court.

Especially for offensive teams, this kind of control and lethality are also extremely powerful.

The Mavericks' offensive inspiration, which just surged like urine, was interrupted by unreasonable tactical adjustments.

Hurry——!
Outside the stadium, the home fans responded with overwhelming boos.

I just want to say: That’s fine, what’s the point of taking a break?

Injuries aside, that's part of basketball! !
