Chapter 196: The Best Backpacker in Team History
The timeout ended and both sides returned to the game. The Spurs did not replace anyone, and they were still the five starters.
The offensive core changed from Parker to Duncan, and Parker put away his aggressiveness as strong as a flame.
At the low post on the right, Duncan was about to stay in the position, and Parker's ball came.
Every time he sees Duncan's attack, Weisha will think of Bill Russell. Just looking at the attack, these two are so similar.
I have to stay in the position steadily, and the offensive preparations seem to be fine, but the attack was not good when I took action.
Duncan was in very ordinary form tonight. Facing Chris Meim, he deserved the advantage and failed to get a few attacks. This round was like that, and he did everything he should do, but the ball was not steadily put into the basket.
Duncan's failure to attack means that the Spurs' timeout is in vain.
Smash Parker took the ball with great enthusiasm to rush towards the frontcourt. He neither saw Kobe nor looked at Wei Xia. He played the Spurs with good performance, thinking that he could ignore anyone and do what he wanted to do.
Some people cannot give him too much freedom, otherwise he will kill the rider like a horse that has run away from reins.
Kobe watched Parker break into the Spurs' penalty area with his own eyes, and Bowen was no longer guarding against him. The Spurs obviously did their homework to the Lakers. They mastered the characteristics of "Parker doesn't care about people" and set up a package of beast trap plans for him.
The god of death was besieged in the penalty area and took action randomly.
Wei Xia and Kobe were helpless. Parker dribbled the ball from the backcourt, leveraging his speed advantage, and rushed to the frontcourt with an unstoppable momentum and finally made a move.
4 to 9
Kobe and Jordan are different. If Parker and Jordan are teammates, they will be rushing to the moment, and he will have lost the qualification to continue to be a human being in front of Jordan.
Although Kobe is determined to be Jordan's successor, he is not the kind of extreme controller who mutters to die when he sees his teammates make stupid mistakes. Their personalities are a bit different. Kobe will only lead with a cold face, unless his teammates are so bad that they are beyond words.
No one doubted Parker's badness, he was just not bad enough to let Kobe ask him to name him.
Parker continued to do his own thing, dribbling to the top of the arc, waving his hands like a leader to direct Kobe and Wei Xia to run.
Kobe didn't even look at him, and ran to the low post and wanted the ball.
Wei Xia is not as arrogant and cool as Kobe, and he stands at the bottom corner that he has never practiced particularly.
"You won't shoot three-pointers here at all, do you?"
The Argentinian, who was also arranged to face Wei Xia, suddenly spoke.
After he finished speaking, he ran to double-team his teammates and forced them to pass the ball to Wei Xia, who has only shot a three-pointer in the bottom corner so far.
When the basketball came, Ginobili's defense showed a decent respect for Wei Xia's shooting. He did not stand beside Kobe and watched Wei Xia's shooting, but he at least took a step forward.
Wei Xia knew very well that his position was not his shooting point, and there was still 10 seconds left in the offensive time, so there was no need to worry at all.
The NBA's large dyeing vat allowed him to develop a stern face that he didn't shoot when he saw an open position. He broke through the air in front of him like a dribble, and entered the black, rough and hard paint area from an unguarded state.
Duncan's ability to assist in defense is like Russell, who Wei Xia had seen in his old days.
It doesn't seem to be threatening, he is standing next to you. If you dare to take action, you know that a dog biting someone will not bark.
Unless the dog that bites you is named Kevin Garnett or Gary Payton.
Most "dogs" look harmless and well-behaved before you take action. Wei Xia will not challenge Duncan rashly. When he suddenly came to the basket, he saw Odom at the far end, and he immediately sent the ball out.
Outside the three-point line, Odom made a shot.
12 to 4
"It's good to pass Wish!" Odom muttered.
Wei Xia gave him a modest "over-price" gesture until Kobe ran past him and left a sentence "It's useless to shoot such a large open space. I gave up the good opportunity of 1-2 to pass the ball to you." Wei Xia was in a good mood.
After hearing Kobe finish what he said, Wei Xia was very angry and his off-ball defense against Ginobili reached his current highest level.
Ginobili is a generalist in the second position. He can do anything and can have a full sense of presence when there is no ball in his hand. What Wei Xia is best at is to make those who like to show their presence disappear.
"Be happy, rookie, do you just want to play 20 minutes?"
Ginobili felt that if Wei Xia continued to run like this, she would definitely not last for 20 minutes.
"Thank you for your concern."
Wei Xia thanked her sincerely, and then put in greater enthusiasm to make Ginobili realize that he had faced an unusual rookie.
The Spurs were sad for six or seven seconds, but they chose to give the ball to Duncan, who was on the right high.
Duncan, who has failed to attack several times in a row, needs to set a good start for his teammates.
So, he came, with his great basic skills, beautiful and touching basket-dribbling turn and the iconic forty-five-degree angle shooting... I missed it!
Duncan's offense was powered off, and Wei Xia quickly ran down and fought back.
Ginobili thought the opponent's off-ball defense had done well enough, but he didn't expect that when he saw Duncan's attack, running and counterattacking was his instinct. He ran to the front court as fast as possible, and did not give his teammates or teammates behind him a slight chance.
He is the fastest one, no doubt.
Odom, who protected the defensive rebound, naturally did not forget the assists Wei Xia gave him last round, and had the chance to repay him. Naturally, he had to let go.
Odom's long pass was thrown from the backcourt to the frontcourt. Wei Xia grabbed Odom's long pass with one hand and did not dribble because he had already stepped into the three-point line and took two big steps along the way, then jumped up. He glided in the free throw line and twisted into a C-shaped body, which all indicated that the performer's athletic ability had exploded.
BOOM!
The loud bang from the frontcourt shows how well Wei Xia's performance is completed.
The two teammates of the same level from the field stood up tremblingly and posed in various exaggerated movements that made people lose their play. They just wanted Wei Xia to know how excited they were.
As for the score, it comes to 14 to 4.
"Compared with the Lakers, the Spurs play more like a team that is deeply involved in losing streaks, and we have no fighting spirit." Elliott's criticism was very direct.
The Spurs encountered many problems, the biggest problem was that Duncan failed to rule Chris Meim.
Duncan's defense cannot be faulted, and there are too many faults that can be faulted on the offensive end, but his faults are usually just a little exposed in one game. Today, all his faults have broken out, and it is wrong to play no matter how you play.
In another round, the Spurs remained infatuated with Duncan, and Duncan had the Mamba spirit of playing the iron more and more determined as he made. He once again used wonderful steps to see his basic skills. If any of the Lakers' insiders were allowed to use his footsteps just now, Wei Xia would bet with Kobe's shooting percentage of the next goal, and they would be blown away by the referee.
Meim made a rare good defense, blocking Duncan's offense outside the paint area.
Duncan immediately gave up unnecessary actions, just like the incident between men and women. The most important thing is to open up the connection channels of key parts, and the same is true for attack.
It is a good idea for Duncan to seek physical contact and use the other person's strength to awaken the muscle memory in his body.
The basketball flew out, and Mim had extremely limited impact on the offense.
With a bang.
The bad touch was spreading, and Duncan couldn't score any goals.
Suddenly, with the help of Duncan's teammates, Nestrovic gently touched the basketball that was about to fall out of the basket, and brought it back to where it should go.
6 to 14
The more Duncan's offense is, the more heroic the defense is.
The downturn on the offensive end undoubtedly made Duncan obviously feel emotionally frustrated, and the success on the defensive end will more or less play a role in improving it.
He alone locked up Parker's breakthrough.
Parker passed the ball to Odom.
Odom rushed in and got Duncan's battle hat, and the ball fell into Mim's hand again.
Mim dared not make ground on the stone Buddha's head, and decisively threw it out of the blame.
Wei Xia from the outside received the ball and handed it over to the person who likes to shoot this kind of ball the most. He not only likes it, but also does not have any psychological burden, nor does he have any dissatisfaction with you because you pass the bomb ball to him. On the contrary, if he doesn't give him the difficult ball, he will still feel that you don't treat him as the boss, unless you are stronger than him, why do you dismantle such a difficult bomb?
So Kobe's fans don't have to complain, "Why is my Kebao always taking the blame? He is obviously working so hard..." Kobe on and off the court are the best scapegoats in the Lakers' history.
In this ball, his three-pointer was one meter away from the three-point line. He did not make fake moves, but pulled up toughly. The long shot from the eight-meter position created a piece of crystal clear steel.
The rebounding ball pops up with gravity.
The inside line cannot touch it, and its external bounces are too fast. To get it from the outside line, it depends on the reaction and agility.
Wei Xia's prediction of long rebounds is not better than that of other people on the court, he is just lucky.
The position of the long rebound was exactly where he was. He took a step forward and welcomed the long rebound into his hand. Then he dribbled into the Spurs' penalty area and jumped up toward Tim Duncan, who was invincible like a god. He handed the ball from his right hand to his left hand in the air, avoided the opponent's strong block, and used his left hand to lift the ball from the back of Duncan's blocking hand.
How interesting it is. The first experimenter who played misaligned boards and baskets after he practiced for half a month was actually one of the best defenders in history.
Duncan stared straight as if he had been fouled by the referee.
The basketball flew up from him and hit a high rebound. With some luck, the ball fell to the back of the basket, turned around and a half, and rolled in smoothly.
Chapter completed!
