NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

Chapter 199

For Ginobili, this is not the first time he has encountered such a situation.

The key ball of the Spurs in the past two years usually depends on his performance at the last moment.

As the saying goes, Parker in good times, Duncan in bad times, and Ginobili in desperate times.

This is not just a casual remark, but a result that has been tested by time.

Ginobili dribbled the ball, and at this time he had become the biggest hope of the Spurs.

Unlimited firing rights and the life and death of the team were in his hands.

As the main defender of Ginobili, Carter was quite familiar with the opponent after several games.

Since there was still plenty of time, and Duncan under the basket was working hard to get the ball at this time,

Ginobili still handed the ball to Duncan.

Duncan dribbled the ball under the basket, and Roy expected to go inside.

This is the most common method of the older generation of inside players. There are definitely benefits to playing like this.

The closer to the basket, the higher the hit rate. This is true for everyone.

Duncan still believed in his low-post ability at the most critical moment.

No matter how hard Roy tried behind him, he could not stop Duncan from approaching the basket step by step.

This was originally the most basic action for the inside line. I didn't expect that this technology would become a scarce resource ten years later.

At that time, anyone who could play one-on-one was a quasi-superstar. I don't know whether it was ridiculous or sad.

There were also some regular season MVPs who were weak in the playoffs. The 40-year-old inside players who played one-on-one were repeatedly taught a lesson.

Calling himself the Great Emperor is simply the biggest insult to this nickname.

Even though they are both MVPs, their value is different. If they were in the heyday of power forwards in the early 2000s, it would be a luxury to enter the All-Star Game.

As the most dominant inside player since Shark, Duncan once again demonstrated his skills and strength.

Under Roy's defense, he did not shoot directly after turning his back, but made a fake move after moving sideways.

Although Roy did not jump, his center of gravity was too far away from Duncan and was affected, so he could not interfere with his shot in time.

Duncan took this opportunity to bypass Roy's hands, stand on tiptoe, and hold the basketball towards the basket with his fingertips.

With a flick of his wrist, the basketball flew out.

The shot was very delicate. Unexpectedly, Roy was held by Duncan's wrist and could not get close at all.

The basketball drew a curved arc and fell into the basket.

117 to 116

Duncan's name and historical status are earned by such tough singles.

Not only is it full of gold content, it stands out in his own era and even reaches the best in history in his position.

Popovich is a little relieved. This Duncan is the Duncan he is familiar with.

The man who can carry the team forward alone and has outstanding strength.

Duncan walked to Ginobili and touched his head excitedly.

This is his biggest hobby. Looking at the team members, Parker's bald head, Bowen's bald head, Ginobili seemed to have a sense of crisis.

Subconsciously trying to avoid Duncan's hair-stroking,

But he couldn't escape. Duncan grabbed Ginobili and rubbed the Argentine star's head with his left hand.

The teammates were almost numb to Duncan's behavior.

Fortunately, the Nets quickly served the ball, and Kidd dribbled past the two of them.

This made the two of them wake up from their dreams.

The entire game lasted less than 70 seconds.

Each wave must be successful. Kidd was signaling Roy and Carter to move.

At this time, the pressure of the whole team was on the three of them.

The Spurs changed Ginobili to defend Kidd. Compared with Parker, Ginobili's defense of Kidd was much better.

Whether it was size, body or strength, Kidd had no advantage in front of Ginobili. Ginobili was not inferior in speed.

The opponent followed Kidd closely and the two of them were fighting. Ginobili did not give in.

Kidd signaled Roy to go forward for a pick-and-roll. Kidd still had a considerable psychological advantage at this time.

Duncan of the Spurs chose to delay Kidd's breakthrough instead of switching defense.

Duncan and Ginobili's blockade successfully resolved the pick-and-roll, and the attack time was less than 10 seconds.

He dribbled low and found an opportunity on the other side in the blockade of the two.

Carter's timely response took the ball into his hands and did not let it die.

He broke through against Bowen.

In addition to the black foot, Bowen's defensive level is definitely at an extremely high level. He was quite restrained most of the time.

It is impossible to black foot in every round, otherwise he would have been humanitarian destroyed by the league.

Although he had some difficulty against Carter, at this most critical moment, he hadHe had no choice but to try his best.

Within one minute of the countdown, Carter rushed to the basket of the Nets.

With Duncan still unable to return to defense, the Spurs' inside chance had already become Carter's.

The advantage in strength allowed Carter to distance himself from Bowen, although he was still chasing him and failed to stop Carter.

Carter jumped, and the Spurs' basket was left with only the basket and Horry who arrived in time.

A sandwich state of front and back attack was formed again.

Carter wanted to try a strong attack, he didn't want to give up so easily, the most important thing was that there was no time to pass the ball.

Facing the interference of the two, Carter dodged in the air and shot with a lever.

The basketball flew to the basket, and it seemed that everything was under control.

Unfortunately, the arc of the basketball running to the basket was perfect.

"Ding"

The basketball hit the back edge of the backboard and bounced out.

Is this the basket of the Spurs' home court? Save the master at the last moment!

But this time Carter didn't want to give up. At the moment when the basketball bounced, he took off for the second time.

He still had a chance. The shadow in the distance kept approaching.

Carter caught a glimpse of the figure. Duncan had already rushed back.

He knew that even if he grabbed the rebound, he would have no chance under the offer of three people.

Carter made a prompt decision and jumped high with all his strength. Looking at McGinnis who had been waiting for a long time in the bottom corner,

He pushed the ball out of the basket with force.

The bottom corner was open, a nearly perfect opportunity, but the one who caught the ball was just McGinnis, a freshman.

Frank's heart sank.

At this moment, even if it was Lagabel in the bottom corner, it would be fine.

McInnis, who was usually carefree, couldn't laugh at this time. It was the principle of the Nets that open shots must be taken.

Besides, the team was behind now. He had such a good offensive opportunity in his hand.

He caught the flying basketball with sweat in his palms.

Shoot or not, can I do it?

A series of questions appeared in his mind at the same time.

Some people said what's wrong with the freshman rookie? Roy is also a freshman!

Don't compare ordinary people with perverts!

McGinnis is just a 21-year-old kid after all. After a fierce ideological struggle, he became more and more flustered.

But the ball must be shot, and it must be shot as soon as possible. Bowen and Horry, who had reacted to the Spurs, rushed over from different directions.

At this time, even the passing route had been cut off.

McInnis hesitated for a second and hastily chose to shoot.

The feeling and state when shooting were not right. Although he had tried hard to adjust in the air, it still didn't work.

The arc of the basketball flying in the air was flat and fast.

The power and arc were off. McGinnis almost didn't dare to look at the ball.

He knew it was over when he shot.

The result did not disappoint him. The basketball hit the basket heavily and was taken into Duncan's arms.
