The strongest unicorn in basketball

Chapter 255
Faced with Giannis' interference, Duncan turned around and hooked, hitting the board at a 45-degree angle!
Duncan has been playing this set of moves for more than ten years, and he is so proficient that it is almost a conditioned reflex.

After the start of the game, the Kings first played a wave of 5:0, and then the Spurs played back a 7:0.

Then Li Pu hit two goals in a row to overtake the score, but with Duncan's hook, the two sides tied again at 9:9.

Who would have thought that this match would be a turn-based game.

During the game, Butler held the ball and faced Leonard's defense. He wanted to play hard, but was entangled by Leonard's death, and he snatched the ball from his hand in a daze.

After that, the Spurs immediately launched a fast-break counterattack. Parker broke through the penalty area for a layup, but was nailed by Giannis!

This ball fully demonstrated Giannis' physical talent, both speed and explosive power are really amazing.

Then the ball came to Bledsoe's hands. After the pick-and-roll, he rushed into the inside line, but was blocked by Duncan out of the baseline.

Whether it is the Spurs or the Kings, the defense of the two teams is enough to rank in the top five in the league.

Therefore, no matter which team wants to play a smooth offense, it is not an easy task.

For several consecutive rounds, both sides failed to score, and the score remained unchanged.

From the start to the present, Li Pu has discovered that the rest of the team is still in good shape, but with their current strength, it is still very difficult to break the Spurs' defense head-on.

So, when the king served the ball from the sideline, Li Pu stood up and took the initiative to ask for the ball from the outside.

Giannis sent the ball to Li Pu. Li Pu stood outside the top of the arc and dribbled the ball to observe the situation on the scene. Split stepped on the three-point line to defend, and the others opened up space for Li Pu.

Ignoring his height, he thought he was a point guard!

Li Pu continuously changed directions in front of his body, luring Split to make a move.

Unfortunately, Split resisted the temptation.

However, it was of no use. Li Pu saw that he failed to seduce him, so he immediately chose a pull-up jumper.

Originally tall and with long arms, coupled with his good bounce, Li Pu's shot point was as high as a two-story building.

Caught off guard, Split didn't even have the ability to interfere.

Basketball hollow into the net!

Li Pu's shot helped the team break the deadlock.

But then, the Spurs looked back. After Ginobili broke through, he gave the ball to Leonard on the outside, and Leonard hit a three-pointer.

Since Leonard entered the league, his three-point shooting percentage has been stable at around 37%. Although it is still the same, the number of shots has doubled.

It can be said that while he increased the number of shots, his hit rate did not decrease, which is a very remarkable thing.

The reason why many role players play well when they are off the bench, but their efficiency drops after they serve as the starter, is because with his ability, he cannot maintain efficiency while increasing the number of shots.

From this point, it can be seen that Leonard's potential to become a star has already been revealed at this time.

Compared with the full bloom of the Spurs, on the Kings side, as the Spurs' defense improved, other teammates gradually began to misfire, and they could only rely on Li Pu to attack.

After Li Pu held the ball from the outside, the person blocking him at this time has been replaced by Duncan.

At this time, the game has reached the end of the first quarter, and the Spurs have already entered the rotation stage. The only starter still on the court is Duncan.

Although Old Deng was very tired, Popovich did not dare to replace him!
Dior is too short, Baines is too young, and the only one who can match Li Pu is Duncan.

However, although Duncan was able to interfere with Li Pu's shooting, he couldn't keep up with Li Pu's footsteps.

I saw Li Pu breaking through quickly with the ball, without even changing direction, relying on speed to force Duncan.

Breaking through Duncan's defense, but the Spurs' double-team followed immediately.

This kind of situation, Li Pu has long been used to it.

In the first quarter, after Li Pu was forced to start the scoring mode, the pincers followed.

The reason why the Kings' offense was not smooth was that the Spurs' rotation defense was excellent. After Li Pu passed the ball, it was difficult to return it to him, and it often ended with his teammates hitting the iron.

Therefore, when Li Pu faced double-teaming again this time, he chose to make a stop jumper.

Although no one interfered with Li Pu's jump shot, Li Pu still failed to hit it this time!
No way, Li Pu is not a god after all, it is impossible to have a 100% hit rate.

The basketball hit the iron and the Spurs quickly got stuck under the basket. Both Middleton and Patterson were blocked from the penalty area.

Just when the Spurs players thought the basketball would fall into their hands, Li Pu strode into the penalty area, jumped high, and made a dunk!
With Li Pu's hit, the Spurs missed a three-pointer, and the Kings chased the score to 23:24, ending the first quarter of the game.

"That guy Prince is so lucky! He even received that rebound at the last moment!" Mills, the Spurs' substitute, came to the sidelines and complained to his teammates.

However, just as he was speaking, a big hand suddenly pressed on the top of Mills' head.

Mills, who was about to resist, turned his head, and when he saw that it was Duncan, he immediately faltered.

Isn't it just to touch the head to kill?Can I bear it?Unlike Ginobili, I have a lot of hair!

"Don't underestimate that guy, he did it on purpose!"

"on purpose?"

Duncan's face remained unchanged and he said indifferently: "He deliberately attacked from the outside in order to transfer me away from the inside and lower the height of the penalty area. He chose the mid-range shot to ensure that there would be no long rebounds after the basketball hit the iron. He had calculated everything. !"

After hearing Duncan's explanation, Mills' complexion suddenly became ugly.

"Don't worry about it, just do your own thing!"

Duncan saw the unnatural expression on Mills' face, so he enlightened him again.

For all that happened on the sidelines, Popovich watched but didn't say a word. With Duncan around, he was very relieved about this team.

After the start of the second quarter, Li Pu sat down to rest as usual.

I have to say that Thomas and Thornton are relatively more reliable than the immature performance of the starters.

The two shot inside and outside, and they withstood the Spurs' offense until Li Pu played again.

Li Pu, who played the entire first quarter, consumed a lot of energy. Thanks to the performance of the two, after Li Pu rested for more than 4 minutes off the court, the point difference was only 3 points, which did not open up much.

Back on the court, Middleton missed a three-pointer, Li Pu grabbed the offensive rebound again, forced the ball to score, and caused Split to foul.

With the free throw hit, Li Pu tied the score just after returning to the court.

In the following games, neither of the two teams could open the score, and the stalemate continued until the last moment of the first half.

With Li Pu's independent hit of a golden rooster, the score was tied at 47:47.
