Chapter 213
The same move can't fail three times in a row.
Lagabell's prediction successfully ended the Spurs' attempt to repeat the same move.
When Lagabell successfully stole the ball, he immediately passed the ball to Kidd.
Professional matters are left to professionals.
The situation on the court changes rapidly, and being able to seize every opportunity in this state.
No one in the court is as good as Kidd, even Ginobili who was watching the game off the court.
Kidd dribbled the ball and rushed forward quickly, and Parker didn't dare to block Kidd in front of him.
Because at this moment Kidd will definitely rely on his strong body to run over him directly.
The process of fast break is undoubtedly the favorite rhythm of the Nets.
Without Jefferson, McGinnis became one of the three carriages of fast break.
He and Carter rushed to the basket of the Spurs on the left and right.
Parker dared not block the attack, so he could only rely on others.
Because Carter rushed too fast, Bowen, who was defending Carter, was pulled away before he could react.
It was too late to chase Carter. The pure speed and burst Bowen was no match for Carter.
Since he couldn't catch up with Carter, he turned his attention to Kidd who was organizing the fast break.
If the ball handler was eliminated, the Nets' fast break would be in vain.
He winked at Parker calmly.
They found the right opportunity and double-teamed Kidd just when Kidd crossed the half court.
Kidd had already noticed Bowen who was following him slowly.
As a point guard, keeping an eye on all directions and listening to all directions is one of the most basic operations.
At this moment, he made a decisive move. He responded,
He first used his body to push away Parker's attempt to double-team him, and a gap appeared between the two.
Then he dribbled the ball and dodged Bowen's attempt to steal the ball.
At the same time, in this situation of double-teaming, he saw the opportunity and dribbled the ball behind him.
He passed the ball directly through Bowen's crotch while he was moving, and passed the ball.
This almost acrobatic performance played tricks on the Spurs' two players.
Kidd's passing ability was absolutely at the master level at this time, whether it was the timing, accuracy or courage.
This ball was absolutely wonderful.
After hitting the ground, the basketball passed to McGinnis with an arc.
After passing the three-point line, he skillfully threw the ball to the Spurs' basket.
Carter took a step and jumped, as if he had been waiting in the air. After receiving the ball, he swung it like a windmill.
The posture in the air was powerful and full of explosive power.
The sound of the dunk was heavy and loud.
The Spurs' home court was silent, and then there was thunderous cheers.
There were only a few times that they could cheer for the visiting team in this home court. The last time this happened was the year when Michael Jordan was about to retire.
It can be seen that Carter really shocked them.
Bruce Bowen, who was helping to serve the ball not far away, was booed by the home fans.
The fans felt that Bowen was just a show-off.
He failed to keep an eye on Carter and was fooled by Kidd. The Spurs lost all their face in his hands.
The home fans don't care whether you tried your best before. If you don't perform well at this moment, you are the original sin!
Bruce Bowen's teeth were almost broken when he looked at Kidd who made him lose face not far away.
He was socially dead among his friends and teammates, and now he became a laughing stock in the eyes of the fans.
The anger brought by new and old hatreds gathered in his heart.
He looked at Kidd with eyes that were about to burst into fire, and his chest was heaving. At this moment, he wanted to get rid of Kidd as soon as possible.
Bowen felt like he was about to explode. He had a strong sense of self-esteem and a small temper.
From the beginning of his career to now, he had never felt such humiliation as today.
And all this was thanks to the No. 5 bald man of the Nets.
What can a man endure!
He suppressed his anger because Parker had passed the half court and he was still wandering around his own three-point line.
Parker looked at Bowen questioningly.
After being distracted, Bowen paused inexplicably.
The boos from the fans on the sidelines came again, and the fans became more and more angry. It must be because of his distraction that Carter scored consecutively!
"Bruce! You damn bastard, what are you doing? Get over here, the whole team is waiting for you!"
In the Spurs rest area, Popovich could no longer control his anger.
He immediately stood up and angrily expressed his dissatisfaction to Bowen, who was acting out of character.
Bowen was startled and woke up at this time.
He could disobey anyone in the Spurs team, but he couldn't disobey Popovich's words.Listen,
If the head coach hadn't given him a chance, he would still be wandering in the NBA and wouldn't have achieved what he has today.
The hatred in his head was temporarily suppressed, and he quickly passed through the half court,
and took a position in his familiar position,
But his eyes were still aimed in the direction of Kidd,
He secretly muttered in his heart: "Don't let me get a chance, otherwise I will definitely give you, this bastard, a good look!"
Roy took a front defense in front of Duncan,
Spurs' Parker failed to get the ball in after many attempts,
At this time, Parker, the only one on the court with independent attacking ability, needed his personal ability to attack by himself,
Duncan also signaled him to do it himself,
Parker looked at Lagabel who was defending him,
At this moment, letting himself play alone is definitely a painful choice for Parker,
At this moment, he has no The French trot was full of vigor in the first two games.
Instead, they had to bite the bullet and face the New Jersey perimeter defense alone.
Fortunately, Parker was still clear-headed. As long as he got faster, he had absolute confidence to break through Lagabel's defense.
Parker looked around and slowly retreated with the ball. He needed to give the breakthrough a starting space.
Unfortunately, Lagabel had seen through his strategy.
After Duncan had no chance to receive the ball, Parker would definitely attack on his own.
Three-pointers have never been his strong point, so the remaining choice must be a breakthrough.
Parker retreated step by step, and Lagabel pressed step by step.
There was no room for him to break through. If he wanted to break through, he could run over me!
The offensive time was decreasing by the second.
Parker's forehead was covered with sweat. Fortunately, veteran Horry saw Parker's dilemma.
When the offensive countdown was on, he suddenly stepped forward to the three-point line to screen.
Parker understood and he would definitely seize this rare opportunity.
The Nets chose to switch defense. McGinnis seemed to be the busiest person on the defensive end again in this game.
The Spurs were also helpless. The entire Nets team seemed to be the easiest to bully, McGinnis, a freshman.
Parker decisively chose his offensive target and accelerated the dribble.
After the pick-and-roll, he was given the distance to break through and accelerate.
The legs exerted force and the speed increased sharply. Although McGinnis tried his best to chase him when defending,
he still let Parker slip in.
In the Nets' interior, Roy had long been accustomed to this way of supplementary defense.
Parker's eyes lit up, as if the connection script he had with Duncan a few rounds ago could be used again.
While he was still excited, Roy had already taken a step and approached Parker's dribbling path in advance.
