Chapter 285
Roy changed his defensive strategy from back-to-back defense to half-circling forward.
It became impossible to pass the ball directly to Duncan.
But this was not a problem for the mature Spurs. Ginobili passed the ball to Bowen in the bottom corner.
The position was changed, and Bowen passed the basketball to Duncan again.
Duncan adjusted the focus of the offense and advanced slowly. Every time he dribbled the ball,
Roy's defensive position was squeezed into the basket by one point.
Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the basket, Carter stood up at the right time.
He began Approaching Duncan, double-teaming him when Duncan dribbles.
The battle-hardened Duncan is not panicked at all, and his reaction is very mature.
When Carter can interfere with him, he hides, and if he can't, he passes the ball back to Bowen in the bottom corner.
Carter can only turn back to defend Bowen.
When he returns to defense, Bowen will pass the ball to Duncan under the basket again.
This goes back and forth, and Carter in the middle position is very uncomfortable.
There is no substantial interference with Duncan. He still follows the established goal and has approached the attack under the basket. Range,
Followed by the familiar back turn,
Carter gritted his teeth and double-teamed him with Roy when Duncan started the ball,
Duncan had expected it and passed the ball back after dodging Roy's arm,
Bowen in the bottom corner was unguarded,
Open three-pointers were Bowen's best and his means of survival,
"Shua"
6:7
The basketball went into the net, and the Nets paid the price for the double-team,
Popovich's face was calm, and the tactics formulated before the game started,
Just It is to let Duncan attack the basket and cause damage. At worst, he can attract double-teaming and give others the opportunity to shoot in open space.
For an inside player, all this is the normal state of encountering defense in singles under the basket.
Just like Roy, assisting is also the most valuable means for Duncan to exert his expertise, leading his teammates to create space for his teammates. All this is not difficult for him.
The two power forwards fought, from offense to defense, and now to assisting, all-round confrontation, now it seems that no one can do anything to the other.
A small group of Spurs fans who came from afar cheered on the court.
This time, Scott, a columnist for the New York Times, came to the scene again, and was invited by Roy.
He sat in the Spurs fans, looking at the court, with a complicated face.
Originally, he wanted to reject Roy, but looking at the soaring number of fans on the website,
I can only say: It smells good!
Although he reminded himself that he was standing here because of his fans, not for free,
Compared to the previous time when he paid for the game, this time with the free ticket, it was obviously not so tough,
The reason why Roy invited him to watch the game was to have a beginning and an end,
News hot spots, everything started with him, naturally it must end under his witness,
Such a game should be witnessed by his black fan leader on the spot,
He asked his agent to help contact Scott,
Originally, the agent Fagan didn't quite understand Roy's thinking,
After Roy's explanation, he suddenly realized,
The whole show is done. Roy's gimmick in the finals has fermented to this day. It is not ordinary. Almost all Americans know about it. Recently, it has frequently appeared on the front pages of major media. Now it is time to end this farce and fulfill his promise. This kind of face-slapping behavior, without this clown, wouldn't the field be less fun? Roy believes that such a cool plot is not only liked by himself, but also loved by fans and spectators. Spending a little money will help Roy build a persona of keeping his word, which will benefit the subsequent commercial publicity. Of course, the premise of all this is that Roy wins the championship. If he fails to do so, then the situation will be reversed, and Roy will become a jumping clown that everyone laughs at. However, Roy is not worried about this. At most, he will spend some money to get a hush money. Compared with the income, it is not worth mentioning. After thinking clearly about the joints, even Feigen, who has always been unscrupulous, couldn't help but praise Roy as a business genius.
In fact, this is not related to that. All kinds of Internet celebrities in later generations use this routine.
The only key point to establish a pillar of personality is to hype up a topic, and do what you say, and use promises to harvest fans.
For now, Roy is extremely confident in his ability!
Scott, a columnist for the New York Times, looked at the small group of Spurs fans cheering around him with contempt.
It's less than 3 minutes in the first quarter, and the gap between the two teams is very small at present.
The gap is not as exaggerated as on paper, which is why he is so nervous.
After going through the process of 1 to 3 and 3 to 3, he has long lost his original arrogance and confidence.In his heart, he even felt a sense of being defeated by Roy.
To be honest, with his performance in the first season, Roy has surpassed the achievements that most players can achieve in their lifetime.
You know, some people dream of playing in the Western Conference Finals.
99.99% of players never have an MVP trophy in their lifetime, but this freshman has already got it.
Another player's highest honor, the championship, does not seem to be a dream nowadays.
This is a perfect protagonist template in a novel.
…
The Nets served the ball in the backcourt, and Roy picked up the basketball on the ground and passed it to Carter, patting him on the back:
"Vince, I can deal with Tim. I understand you want to help me, but don't give them a chance. You know, I can do it!"
Carter knew that what Roy said was true. Maybe he should focus more on single defense.
In the half, Carter passed the ball to Roy.
The two picked and rolled again, and passed it back to Carter, using Carter to move Duncan away.
Then the basketball was passed to Raja Bell at the top of the arc. ,
At this time, Roy had already taken a good position under the basket, and the ball was passed quickly.
Behind Roy was Bruce Bowen, who looked helpless.
Big vs. small, the favorite part of Nets fans.
As Roy dribbled, Bowen retreated step by step, and Parker shot from the side,
trying to steal Roy's dribble.
But all this was within Roy's calculation range.
Roy dodged for a while, then walked inside, turned around quickly under the basket, jumped on one foot, held the ball with both hands and leaned back,
raised his left foot slightly, and stood on one leg!
Bowen was like a cat with its hair blown up. He gave up defense at the first moment and retreated far to the side.
The shadow cast by Dandan's sadness was too huge for him.
It was really difficult for him to switch to defend Luo Yi.
Facing no one defending him, Luo Yi easily made a fadeaway jumper.
8 to 7
The hit rate of both sides in the first quarter was extremely high.
Bowen lowered his head and didn't even dare to look at his teammates. A ball like this was completely beyond his psychological tolerance.
He moved backwards almost instinctively and subconsciously, without being controlled by his body.
The Spurs players could understand and know what he was going through. Instead of saying anything, they walked up to him and patted his head to comfort him.
Because every time they took a shower after the game, everyone would understand Bowen's crotch especially well.
Since the beginning of the first quarter, both sides have tried their best to perform with high intensity, which shows that this game is definitely not as optimistic as both sides imagined.
The high hit rate of both sides continued until the middle of the first quarter.
The Spurs took the lead in changing their lineup, replacing Horry with Muhammad, who is better at defense.
The strength and height of the inside line were directly improved, leaving Roy with less room to play.
