Chapter 235
Carter looked at the long-haired Argentine coldly.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he also realized that the Argentine's strength was indeed above the All-Star level.
At least from the current confrontation, his ability should be on par with Wade in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Back on the court, Ginobili took the ball and directly invested in the offense.
After only less than 3 minutes on the sidelines, the Spurs lost a 4-point lead to Parker.
Ginobili knew very well that he had to stabilize the team's situation first.
This attack round must be scored.
And he also cast his eyes on Chandler.
Unlike Parker's contempt, Ginobili knew that Chandler's body was still very intimidating under the basket.
Chandler left a deep impression on Ginobili during the regular season.
Underestimating a 2.16-meter inside monster will sooner or later suffer a loss. The young Parker obviously lacked awe.
Ginobili dribbled the ball and thought for a moment, then signaled Muhammad to pull up and screen with him.
Although Chandler's tall stature and jumping ability are both extremely high-ceiling templates for the interior,
But he also has weaknesses, and there are obvious defects in his speed. Not only Parker can see it, but Ginobili wants to take advantage of it.
Muhammad led Chandler to pull up to the three-point line for a screen.
Chandler had a bitter face, knowing that he was going to be in trouble again.
With Kidd missing from the outside, the defensive strength was not enough, and the pressure on the inside was still very high.
However, in the previous timeout, Coach Frank had anticipated this problem and came up with a solution.
At the moment when Muhammad and Ginobili were about to break through the pick-and-roll, Chandler stepped forward to delay his dribble when Ginobili wanted to take the opportunity to break through. This gave Carter a time difference to adjust, allowing Carter to bypass Muhammad and catch up with Ginobili again.
The Argentine did not have the extraordinary speed of Parker.
With just a little blockage, Carter would naturally be able to keep up with him.
God was fair in giving Ginobili basketball IQ, height, and skills,
but he gave him less physical fitness.
Seeing Carter appear in front of him again after Chandler's interference, Ginobili was not surprised.
As early as when Chandler blocked him,
Ginobili had already understood the Nets' defensive strategy.
Coach Frank was off the court, with a smile on his face, looking across the technical table at Popovich who was also standing on the edge of the court.
"So what if he's a champion coach? He still found a flaw for me. Don't think you're the only one who can predict the enemy's moves. I can do it, too!"
He was secretly happy in his heart, but unfortunately Popovich stood on the sidelines with a blank expression, not worried about Ginobili at all.
The situation on the court seemed to be very unfavorable.
Ginobili seemed to have anticipated this situation and was not surprised at all. When Carter stood in front of him again,
He stretched out his finger and gestured to Muhammad.
Then he turned around and did another pick-and-roll, and did it again in the opposite direction.
This made Chandler, who was not prepared for the second time, confused.
"What's the matter? Are you standing here like the King of Qin around the pillar?"
This time Muhammad's pick-and-roll was of high quality. His wide body blocked Chandler and Carter tightly.
Ginobili took the opportunity to take the ball and rushed straight into the Nets' inside line.
The basket was empty, in a vacuum zone.
McInnis withdrew from the baseline to the restricted area. As a guest power forward, he had to defend the dignity of the Nets' inside line.
He directly gave up the key man Horry.
This move made Kidd on the bench slap his thigh.
"Give 3 points, not 2 points? Chuck, that kid Is he crazy?"
I don't know if he is crazy or not, but the choice of Ginobili of the Spurs is even more unexpected.
He has no intention of passing the ball, but keeps accelerating towards the inside.
The two met in the reasonable collision zone of the Nets' inside.
McInnis has strong confidence in his defense. He has an absolute advantage in terms of height, weight and arm span.
He thought Ginobili would throw in the air or dodge him and then layup.
But when Ginobili's huge acceleration force hit him,
McInnis realized that this guy was definitely not a layup. He saw that Ginobili's low jumping ability dodged McGinnis' palm in the air.
At an unexpected angle, he pressed the ball into the basket through McGinnis.
"Bang"
Dunk, dunk from the Pampas Eagle, concentrating all the strength of the body, the power after the dunk knocked McGinnis over.
52 to 46
McInnis' mind went blank after he got up from the ground.
The Nets' home court was silent.Silence, only a few Spurs fans were reveling recklessly.
"I was dunked?"
It was hard for him to accept this fact.
Ginobili didn't even look at McGinnis, but turned his face to Carter, with a provocative look on his face, as if saying:
"You can dunk, right? I can do it too!"
The game seemed to become interesting, and Carter was successfully ignited by him.
In the corner under the basket, McGinnis looked aggrieved.
"I'm just a spectator. Go dunk on Chandler. Who did I offend?"
When gods fight, mortals suffer. If I had known this, I'm still adding a line of defense,
On the bench, Tony Parker of the Spurs was waving a towel excitedly. The team was dunked by Carter just now and dared not speak.
"That damn Argentine bald guy is really good. From now on, you are the second most handsome man in the Spurs in my heart!"
"This matter is all to blame on the French slut waving a towel and twisting his hips on the Spurs bench. When he returns to the court, I will definitely kill him!"
McInnis thought viciously,
Did he see through the essence of the matter and had to target Parker?
No, he rationally knew that he was not Ginobili's opponent,
And he needed an object to vent on the scene,
In that case, he should pick the soft persimmon to squeeze, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with choosing Parker!
If Roy knew what McGinnis was thinking, he would definitely give him a thumbs up.
Ginobili was also in a momentary mood. When his teammates were bullied, he followed suit. The gunpowder smell on the court became stronger.
As he was determined to take the opponent away directly at the Nets' home court tonight, the incomplete Nets were no longer in his eyes.
This kind of provocation and attack on the opponent is one of the necessary means to defeat the opponent's fighting will.
Carter, who is half man and half god, also has his own pride.
The opponent can dunk, but copying is just adding fuel to the fire.
This is equivalent to pointing at his forehead and scolding,
Not taking himself seriously at all.
As soon as Arroyo passed half court, Carter took the initiative to take the ball from him.
He signaled Lagabel to pick and roll with him. At this time, what he wanted was to face Ginobili directly.
The slap in the face must be in person, and if he is unhappy, he must retaliate directly.
After the pick and roll with Lagabel, Carter stood opposite Ginobili as he wished.
The Nets teammates consciously opened up the court and cleared a space for Carter to play one-on-one.
