NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

In fact, Popovich's idea is easy to understand. Since you let Irving rest for so long, and even did not hesitate to consume Doncic's physical strength, just to keep him to fight Wembanyama, then I simply didn't change Wembanyama to play, and your Irving's physical strength can only be used against Drummond. When Owen's physical strength is almost exhausted, I will send Wembanyama here, and then Owen will be weak. As for Doncic's heads-up, it basically poses no threat to Wembanyama.

Chang Tiancheng saw Irving's eyes, and secretly laughed in his heart, he didn't expect such a simple tactic to really target the opposing team, sure enough, there is a reason why the Mavericks did not make the playoffs last season, looking at this, it will not be easy for the Mavericks to enter the playoffs in the increasingly wild West this season.

Irving attacked with the ball, and when he saw Drummond on the inside, he had no desire to break through, so he gave the ball to Wood who went around the inside to near the free throw line.

Wood faced Sochan in front of him, thinking that it was finally not Wembanyama's monster who was defending me, so he directly made a triple threat, and regardless of whether he shook Sohan or not, he rushed directly to the Spurs' interior.

Sochan's traverse was fast, easily keeping up with Wood's breakout, and jamming Wood's breakout route firmly. But Wood still has a height advantage, and after pushing into the Spurs' interior, Wood doesn't lift his head and throws the basketball in his hand directly to the basket.

Drummond, who was standing on the other side of the basket, suddenly attacked at this time, only to see him jump high, stretch out his big hand, and directly grab the basketball thrown by Wood with one hand.

"Oh my God! Grab the hat!

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a wonderful defense!"

"Wembanyama most of the time fans the opponent's ball out, and this Drummond actually took the ball directly!"

"Wood is so unlucky, isn't he? It won't leave him any psychological shadow in the future, right? The

crowd shouted loudly in praise of Drummond's stunning defence. At the same time, it is also mixed with the "care" for Wood.

Seeing that his ball was caught, Wood suddenly had some mental explosion, he stomped his foot viciously, turned his head and prepared to defend the Spurs' offense.

Chang Tiancheng held the ball to the Mavericks' half, and then made a blocking and dismantling cooperation with Drummond, and in the face of Wood's change of defense, he still chose to break through directly as before. After all, Wood's defense...

Of course, Wood saw Chang Tiancheng's intentions, he gritted his teeth, and said secretly in his heart: "You must not let you find a field from me again!"

So, Wood used all his strength and desperately caught up with Chang Tiancheng, who had already left him behind.

Chang Tiancheng saw that Wood would choose to come over to defend himself, so he directly made a behind-the-back pass, passing the ball from Wood's crotch to Drummond, who was following up.

After Drummond received the ball, he flew directly and dunked with both hands, pressing Wood under him.

Drummond, who completed the dunk, hung a little on the basket out of physical protection.

But this action caused his leg to inadvertently hit Wood, which completely aroused Wood's anger.

was first frequently asked to eat hot pot by the Spurs' interior on the offensive end, then was teased and dunked on the defensive end, and now he was touched by Drummond's leg, and Wood's last shred of sanity finally disappeared.

As soon as Drummond got off the basket, Wood rushed in front of him and shoved him hard.

Before Drummond, who had been pushed and staggered, could react to what was going on, Wood followed with a punch that slammed it directly into Drummond's face.

This angered Drummond, he didn't expect Wood to have no outstanding performance on the field today, not to mention, he actually dared to take the initiative to find his own trouble, so he rushed directly at Wood.

Wood naturally didn't mean to be afraid of him, and actually bumped into Drummond's sturdy figure.

Both were bounced off by a huge force of impact and fell to the ground.

But Drummond was less affected, he got up faster, and as soon as he got up, he was about to launch a second attack on Wood, who was still lying on the ground.

There was a burst of exclamations from the crowd, it had been a long time since they had seen two players brawl openly on the field.

And the players on both sides finally reacted at this time, and hurriedly rushed forward to pull the two apart. The referee's whistle also sounded at this time, and almost without hesitation, the referee ejected both players from the field.

Chang Tiancheng looked at the back of Drummond leaving the player's tunnel, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The nature of this time is different from the previous time when Wembanyama pushed Jokic when he was on the Nuggets, and neither of them did anything else that time, but this time Wood obviously had fighting moves, which will undoubtedly have a very negative impact on the image of the NBA, so he will definitely not be able to escape the suspension afterwards.

But the worst point is that Drummond also made a collision action, in the eyes of the referee, the nature of this changed from "being beaten" to "beating each other", plus Drummond is not famous now, unlike Wembanyama, I don't know if he will be banned with Wood.

In this way, the Spurs are equivalent to missing a significant interior rotation, and Drummond's on-court mission is to "protect Wembanyama".

This "protection" not only means not only to prevent Wembanyama from being bullied by other players on the field, but also to help Wembanyama share some of the dirty work, so as to reduce Wembanyama's burden.

If he is suspended, the Spurs will have to push Wembanyama to the starting center, which will put Wembanyama on more tasks than before, and many of them will be physically draining, which may also increase his risk of injury.

In short, if Drummond is suspended, it may bring a series of chain reactions later, and these reactions are not what Chang Tiancheng wants to see.

But for now, he can only focus on this game first, and Drummond's business will have to wait until after the game.

Yin Tianyi, who was sitting in the audience, saw Drummond being sent off, and his eyes also showed a trace of worry. Then, she moved her eyes to Chang Tiancheng's body.

"I wonder what he's going to do if this happens?" Yin Tianyi muttered to himself.

On the field, Wembanyama, who was originally firmly on the bench, came on in place of Drummond.
