Chapter 289
Ginobili made both free throws, feeling indescribably relaxed.
In his eyes, he seemed to have found the weakness against Roy.
31 to 28
Up to now in the finals, there are no secrets between the two sides.
Winning or losing depends on the performance on the spot. Whoever is in better condition will have the advantage.
Because the weaknesses of both sides are almost known to each other, those that can be overcome have been overcome long ago.
Just like Muhammad who appeared in the second half of the first quarter, Roy grabbed him and played alone.
Until forcing Popovich to replace him.
In such a game, both sides tried their best to exert their strengths and weaknesses on the opponent.
At this time, Ginobili felt that Roy and the Nets' weaknesses were already under control.
And this style of play seemed to have a lot of room for improvement.
It was almost like carrying a bomb and rushing to the inside.
The more Ginobili thought about it, the more right it was. He felt that he had opened the door to a new world, and the dawn of victory seemed to be just around the corner.
Lagabel and Carter alternately screened and passed through the Spurs' half court.
Now Popovich has given the Spurs a death order to retreat.
Even if it is a normal half-court pass, a heavy guard like Carter cannot rush up.
In terms of physical advantage, no one on the Spurs can defend after Carter rushes up.
There is no physical advantage in the matchup, so it is best to drag both sides to the position to attack.
Use Duncan's deterrence under the basket to limit players like Carter.
Carter and Roy's pick-and-roll was formed near the three-point line. The Spurs restricted Roy's receiving position very strictly.
Roy cut in near the free throw line, and the Spurs still blocked Carter on the other side.
Even if Duncan couldn't keep up with him, he would rather let Carter attack than let Roy have the opportunity to revitalize the Nets.
Carter dribbled towards the 45-degree three-point line, trying to find space to pass the ball to Roy from the side.
Because Duncan's huge body completely blocked the direction of his passing to Roy,
All were blocked, leaving no room.
Duncan didn't let Carter speed up his movement, and both sides were exerting their strength.
As Carter was moving, Ginobili cut off his way forward again.
This made Carter a little annoyed. I just passed the ball, and your All-Star power forward stuck to me like a dog-skin plaster. What's wrong with that?
He couldn't help but take two steps back, followed by a full-scale sprint.
Duncan had only played assist defense, and he had average experience in defending Carter with real weapons.
Carter's speed had exceeded Duncan's limit.
Even with Ginobili's double team, he was still hit by Carter in the middle.
After passing two people, the Spurs' inside line was almost flat.
Only the veteran Horry who was defending McGinnis in the bottom corner dragged his heavy steps back to the basket.
But his age and body shape were there, not to mention that he was not a defensive player.
Faced with the extremely fast rush and rushing Carter, he could only raise his arms helplessly.
Although he looked like Will Smith, he was not a real Jedi Man after all. If he was, he would give Carter a shuttle.
But in reality, he could only raise his arms honestly.
Parker, who was not far away, looked at his raised arms and felt a little familiar.
The French gene had a vague awakening at this moment.
If any inside player standing under the basket could stop Vince Carter, he would not have achieved what he has today,
Even if that player was the iron-blooded Mourning,
What's more, on the defensive end, who are you, Horry?
After jumping high, he didn't even need to dodge, and the huge impact force overwhelmed him.
A slam dunk on Horry's head pushed the ball into the basket,
33 to 28
Old Horry felt his head buzzing.
From the first quarter till now, Carter is definitely the most handsome guy in the whole game.
The dunks were heard one after another today, which not only feasted the eyes of the home audience,
but also made the audience who followed this game before the TV festival intoxicated.
Some people play just for data, and some people play for the ceiling of human athletic ability. Almost every dunk can be made into a poster.
There is also a group of people who are the most excited on the field, that is, magazine reporters.
Carter's dunk posters from the finals to now can be published in a full-color bound volume. In their opinion, every frame is the essence of human dunks.
When publishing, it must be wrapped in a transparent plastic bag, otherwise it will definitely be torn apart by some students who only look at it but don't buy it,
or even secretly tear it off and paste it on the bedside at home, and put it together with some scantily clad female stars.
The Spurs were careless, or they never paid much attention to it.Carter, who is almost in the All-NBA First Team,
In their opinion, half-man, half-god is just a nice name, he is just an ordinary star player,
It was that damn Roy who brought him to a height that does not belong to him!
Complaints aside, Carter's dunks are real,
After dunking a veteran, Carter did not even bother to celebrate, but when Roy patted his head, he dodged with a look of disgust,
The tsundere attribute broke out again, and he needed to use a cool expression to maintain his personality.
The Spurs have the ball, when Parker gave the ball to Ginobili again,
The Argentine's eyes stayed on Roy again,
On average, he made a foul every minute, so if he was more diligent, in theory, in just 5 minutes,
This Roy, who has troubled the Spurs for a long time, will sit on the sidelines permanently,
Watching himself lead the team to win the championship, maybe he can also get his hands on the Most Valuable Player of the Finals.
Ginobili was so excited that he wanted to tremble when he thought of this.
He stretched out his hand to signal Horry to cover him.
It was difficult to break through Jefferson's defense, but it was much easier to deal with the young McGinnis.
After the screen, as expected, the Nets changed their defense.
Although McGinnis's defense was pretty good in the past few games,
But Ginobili was confident that if he played his best, the opponent would be no problem.
The Argentine slowly retreated, and McGinnis pressed on step by step.
During the few days of the offseason, he specially trained defensive tactics against Ginobili.
Not only did he consult Jefferson, but he also learned from Lagabel.
He compressed Ginobili's passing space. His speed did not have an absolute advantage over McGinnis.
When the speeds of both sides were similar, McGinnis's physical fitness crushed him.
It was completely different from what he imagined. Fortunately, Ginobili Ginobili is not a name that is not given for nothing.
He concentrated his mind, used his footwork and rhythm changes, and twisted his body to break through from under McGinnis.
The two spent too much time on the matchup. When Ginobili appeared under the basket,
The Spurs had little time to attack.
Two people were on the matchup, and eight people were watching.
Roy had been standing under the basket ready.
Although Ginobili was a little embarrassed, he still jumped high towards Roy.
The two fought in the air again.
The Argentine's purpose was very clear, which was to play with Roy's hand and get the referee's whistle.
This time was no exception. The basketball hit Roy's hand again.
But Roy was already prepared and avoided the opportunity to directly contact his arm in the air.
Seeing that time was approaching, Ginobili reluctantly threw the ball towards the basket!
