Standing pretty old

Chapter 113 The devil hides in the details

"Tim, do you still think the rookie in China is cute?" Finley said jokingly.

"It's still quite interesting, his buttocks are much sexier than Bonzi*Walsh..." Daidai said with such a deadpan expression.

Just as Finn looked at him with weird eyes, Dadai showed his weird smile again and said, "Just kidding!"

On the side of the Eagles, Lunar Eclipse is still very happy. To him, it doesn't matter who his opponent is.

"Kraft, you did a good job, Tim Duncan has been fucked by you, and the defending champion is nothing special!"

Really no big deal?

Ruan Erniu didn't think so. He subconsciously glanced at Jiongjisen, but in the end he didn't say a word to his big brother. Some things had to be done by himself.

In the just-concluded first quarter, the Spurs were in a standard situation. Duncan, Finley, Parker, and Ginobili all scored points, and the points were evenly distributed.

As for the Eagles, they obviously relied more on the personal attacks of Ruan Erniu and Yue Eclipse.However, it is difficult to win the game with just one or two players.The key to breaking the game still fell on Jiong Jisen, who was defended by Bowen.

This is the problem that the Eagles urgently need to solve.

As soon as he played in the second quarter, Ruan Erniu got the chance to continue to match up with Duncan.Compared with Garnett's erratic offensive style, Duncan's scoring hot spot is still closer to a traditional center, although he has never said that he is a power forward.

Duncan played back with the ball in the low post, and Ruan Erniu pushed him out of the danger zone behind him.

Dadai couldn't hit with his back, and after passing back to Parker, he beckoned for the ball again.

After receiving the ball, he took advantage of the trend and gained a half body advantage. Just when he was about to go straight to the basket, Ruan Erniu swung his right arm downwards and quickly cut the ball off.

Johnson caught the ball and a long pass was delivered to far end Eclipse, who dunked with ease.

With the help of a dull pick-and-roll, Parker dribbled the ball past Johnson, faced Ruan Erniu's defense, made a tentative step feint, and then made a 360-degree turn on the spot with the pivot foot as the core, and hit the board with a hook into the box.

The most efficient scoring method for the Gauls is not shooting, but various low scoring methods in the penalty area.The big dream dance on the point guard line is not just talking about it.

Tony Parker makes a mid-range shot...

Parker on horseback and archery...

Parker makes an air cut, backhand layup, and the ball goes to...

The MVP of last season's finals suddenly exploded and took over the game in one fell swoop.

The Spurs opened the score within minutes!
Ruan Erniu is still efficient. Although he feels more and more difficult to score under the three-dimensional defense of the Spurs, the Chinese rookie can always find a way to send the ball into the basket.

The real concern is the state of Jon Jonson, whose shooting percentage has never returned to normal.

Under Bowen's defense, the "Eagle King" of the previous generation felt as if it had been thrown into a polar ice cave and was completely frozen.

To make matters worse, Jiong Jisen failed to come out, and the guy Lunar Eclipse also lost himself in this episode.

He made 5 of 0 shots, raised his hammer and started banging on the basket.Getting good luck from the Bucks finally ran out too.

In a single quarter, Eclipse only scored 2 points with free throws.

Childress was the only player on the bench who stood up, but his addition of 6 points in a single quarter can only be regarded as a sip of life.To really come alive, the Eagles need more people to stand up.

Because before they knew it, a demon sword of the Spurs was out of its sheath.

The Argentine Manu Ginobili quietly scored a few points in the first quarter, and continued to fire for the Spurs in the second quarter when Parker broke out.

If not in the Spurs, the Argentine has the strength to be a leader in any other NBA team.

While everyone was focusing on Parker, who scored consecutively, the Argentine used his signature snake-shaped breakthrough to break into the inside line from time to time, causing damage, or used his iconic crooked handle to hit a 3-pointer.

At the end of the first half, at 61:50, the Spurs led by 11 points and entered the break.

For the first time since the start of the game, the Hawks trailed by double digits in the first half.

发挥最耀眼的球员自然是马刺队的托尼*帕克，他半场13投9中，三分球1投1中，罚球2罚2中，半场拿下21分5助攻。

阮二牛半场拿到18分13板，按理说这个数据足够令人惊喜了。因为对面的呆呆也只拿下了9分6板4助攻而已。

But in the face of falling behind by a large score, Ruan Erniu really couldn't laugh.

Won the data, lost the game, and lost to a strong team like the Spurs.For a team aiming for the playoffs, this is not something to brag about.

Woodson didn't spit on his players in the lounge. Facing opponents like the Spurs, the Eagles at this stage are behind in all aspects.

On the surface, it seems that the poor performance of Jiong Jisen and Lunar Eclipse has dragged down the team. In fact, digging deeper, this is the gap between the rationality of the two teams' lineups and the team's temperament.

Ruan Erniu sat beside Jon Jonson, lowered his voice and said, "Joe, in the second half, give Bruce Bowen a technical foul, and I'll pay the fine for you!"

囧囧sen pursed his lips and smiled, shook his head and said: "It's my own bad touch, it has nothing to do with anyone, I will find myself in the second half!"

Ruan Erniu nodded and didn't say any more. It's not easy to get back the touch, but now he can only trust Jiongjisen.

Because looking at the whole team, he really couldn't find any reliable scoring points other than him and Jiongsen.It would be great if Lunar Eclipse is mature and stable enough. His top physical talent still has room to be discovered, but he doesn't know when he will finally realize it.

The atmosphere on the Eagles side is dignified, while on the Spurs side it is a gentle breeze and light rain, and the atmosphere is harmonious.

Popovich said to Duda with a pleasant face: "How is the pressure on you from the rookies of the Celestial Dynasty? Do you want to give you more rest time?"

"No need, besides me, I can't find a better defensive candidate, right? What's more, I have a hunch that this kid's energy has not been completely exhausted, and we must not relax our vigilance against the Celestials!" Deng blankly refused.

Popovich said to Oberto on the side: "Fabry, you have to be ready to double-team the Chinese at any time. When Tim needs this, understand?"

Oberto nodded, indicating that he had received the order.

Tony Parker said proudly: "Do you value this rookie too much? After all, he is only a freshman. I think Tim did well enough in the first half, and double-teams think highly of him too!"

Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer said at this time: "I agree with Greg (Popovich), and if necessary, this Chinese man must be double-teamed. The entire coaching staff believes that assuming the Eagles and the Celtics In the battle, the Celtics were able to defend Kraft Nguyen in a targeted manner, and they will never win this game so hard."

After flipping through the data, Mike Budenholzer said lightly: "Actually, our defense against the Chinese in the first half was successful. Most people focused on the scoring and rebounding data of the Chinese. But ignore his 5+ assists per game, and so far, the Celestials have 0 assists tonight!"

Popovich clapped his hands and smiled: "That's the point!"
