Chapter 164
Chapter 164
Now Coach Frank is faced with a choice again.
Chandler, his center, has to go down again. He habitually looks at the bench.
McInnis has become his target again.
"Chuck, you must keep an eye on Horry when you come on the court. I don't want to see his three-pointers, let alone any goals from him!"
McInnis saluted with one hand.
"Okay, sir, I will complete the mission!"
This guy has recently fallen in love with military TV series. Coach Frank smiled and patted his head.
Chandler was pressed on the bench again. Even if he can shoot mid-range shots, he can't be allowed to leave the court.
It's a pity that he can only eat cakes, or there is a better choice, that is, to practice better single defense ability in the summer.
At least he can't be beaten by a slightly better inside line.
He can't become Yao Min, nor can he develop in the direction of the big bamboo pole Bradley.
At some times, especially in the playoffs, his thin inside single defense ability is indeed hurting the team.
The Nets' timeout ended.
Frank's substitution was just as Popovich expected.
Because the Nets used this change to beat the Heat in the last series.
But the Spurs and the Heat are two completely different concepts.
Fortunately, the Spurs were also in a difficult situation on the Nets' offensive end.
Duncan either defended Roy and was pulled outside the three-point line, or defended McGinnis, who was also outside the three-point line.
The empty basket became a paradise for the Nets' small guards.
Relying on his strong body, Carter broke through Bowen's defense and attacked the basket.
Usually, Duncan was at the basket. At this time, Duncan could only weigh between McGinnis at the bottom line and the basket.
Duncan made the decision without hesitation. He rushed to the basket and stopped Carter from the air.
Carter did not force a layup, but threw the ball to McGinnis in the bottom corner.
Although Bowen had tried his best to defend Duncan after he lost his position,
But the distance was too far, McGinnis Still got a perfect gap,
First time in the finals, first time touching the ball,
McInnis was shaking with excitement,
He didn't have much time to adjust because Bowen had already rushed over,
When he jumped to shoot, McInnis found that his whole body was stiff,
When the basketball was released, he secretly thought it was not good,
Because his fingers were not as soft as before,
Too excited or too nervous,
"Ding"
McInnis's first appearance in the finals career was a miss,
He used too much force, the basketball bounced far away, fortunately the outside line Roy is much more flexible than Duncan.
According to the trajectory of the basketball, Roy moved sideways for several steps and grabbed the rebound before Duncan.
Then he dribbled the basketball at a 45-degree angle facing Duncan.
He started with a three-threat, and Duncan could only keep his distance.
Roy shook the ball and took a side step and a fadeaway jump shot.
Usually, ordinary players who use this kind of offense to deal with Duncan often get only a big block or a miss.
Duncan's super long wingspan controls the distance beyond many people's imagination.
But Roy is different. His body The shape is similar to Duncan, but the flexibility and mobility are obviously one level higher than Duncan.
After the triple threat, Duncan was afraid to get too close.
Roy's shot in the gap made it difficult for Duncan to defend.
Dry pull-up with a fadeaway, the bounce speed was too fast, and before Duncan's knees started, Roy was already in the air.
When Duncan got up, Roy's ball was already shot smoothly.
"Shua"
This shot shows Roy's personal ability, even Popovich couldn't help shaking his head and saying helplessly,
The No. 1 pick may be watery, but the MVP is really not!
At least until now in the game, Roy has proved that he can compete with the best in history on the offensive end, and he is better than him.
Parker of the Spurs kept changing his pace while dribbling the ball,
making Kidd, who was leading the defense all the way, lose his temper.
The speed that the French trot is most proud of still has a considerable advantage over Kidd.
Near the three-point line, he ignored Ginobili's running position,
and chose to break through outside the three-point line.
His extremely fast speed was like a precise surgical scalpel, cutting through the Nets' perimeter defense.
Then he passed Kidd lightly and smeared into the three-point line, dribbling two steps inside.
He made a mid-range jump shot near the free throw line where Roy could not reach.
But Kidd was not so easy to play with. The moment Parker shot,
Kidd, who was behind, reached out and slapped the basketball that was about to shoot in the air with one hand.
The basketball flew out, and the veteran Horry on the sideline flew to save the ball.
The basketball hit McGinnis.The ball bounced out of bounds.
As experienced as he is, he can be the key man, not only because of his calm mind and big heart,
but also because of his ability to handle the ball at critical moments,
He always has a clear mind, knowing that he is going to go out of bounds, he hits the ball on the opponent and bounces it out of bounds.
McGinnis can only be the victim, because he didn't dodge in the air,
This insidious move gave him a more intuitive understanding of veteran Robert Horry.
Horry got up from the ground and picked up The basketball was served to Ginobili, the core organizer of the Spurs. After a fruitless attempt to break through, Ginobili still found Duncan in the interior and passed the ball in. It was another single play in the interior. Duncan dribbled the ball and avoided Roy's harassment again and again. He pushed forward step by step to the interior. Roy had no better way to deal with this pure personal offensive ability. He could only wait for Duncan to shoot. Duncan's single play in the interior was already at the distance. He made a fake move to the left under the basket and turned to the right. Fortunately, Roy didn't like to jump as much as Chandler. His feet seemed to be rooted in the ground. Duncan turned right and relied on Roy to exert force. In terms of strength, Duncan still had a considerable advantage over Roy. Momentum,
After all, Roy is still growing, while Duncan has reached the peak of his life's strength,
The physical contact stuck Roy, making him unable to move,
Then he used the soft force on his wrist to hook the ball out,
Roy could only helplessly watch Duncan's ball fly into the basket,
The goal of the stone Buddha was full of small details of singles. If you want to improve, you still have to fight with this top inside player,
Duncan smiled at Roy's excited eyes,
When he entered and exited the league and faced the peak period of the Sharks, he had the same look,
There was no fear or tension, only the eagerness to challenge and the momentum of not admitting defeat,
The two were like the scene of the duel between the Western gunslingers in the movie, full of poetry and blood.
The second quarter almost became a duel show between Duncan and Roy.
Neither side could do anything to the other, and the score rose alternately.
Roy even felt a little bit of mutual appreciation.
Being able to play against such a master, as long as you pay attention and think carefully, you can naturally learn a lot of good things.
