Countercurrent and become a superstar

Chapter 137 You can’t make a world of difference just by fucking Duncan to death!

“The fourth quarter begins!

Duncan caught the ball in the low post and was flanked. He chose to beat Nowitzki and Finley.

Oh no, I still missed the shot and couldn't get the number of fouls I wanted.

However, the Spurs got the offensive rebound, and Horry made a contribution at the critical moment and scored the ball.

Ginobili broke through with a European step and penetrated the defense. He was finished.

But the penalty area was full of people. Ginobili tried his best, but still failed to shoot. He distributed the ball to find the three-point corner on the right side.

Horry catches the ball, raises his hand, and shoots a three-point jumper. Will the ball go in..."

Walker did not defend and did not regard Horry's three-pointer as alive.

As a result, the opportunity was indeed wasted.

Bang-dang——!
The strike missed.

“Still missed the mark!!

No wonder the Mavericks dared to shrink and block the shooting battle between the penalty area and the Spurs.

Compared with outside shooting, the Spurs don't have a shooter who can beat it.

Now there are no fouls, outside shots are missed, and there is no space for the inside to force the basket. The Spurs have no one to break up the defense, and the next game will be difficult..."

The rebound was picked off by Walker, and it was impossible to pass the ball to Tan Yang to counterattack the fast break. It was absolutely impossible.

At this moment, the Spurs are also "ruthless" defensively, preferring to foul rather than allow the Mavericks to play a comfortable offensive rhythm.

Tan Yang took it for granted that the damn basketball would be given to Nowitzki to hit and shoot.

however.

Against Horry's block, Nowitzki made a strong one-on-one shot, but failed to hit.

Bang-dang——!
“The Mavericks couldn’t score here either.

This is the pain for jump shooting teams. The further back they go, the less fuel the physical fuel tank has.

If the shooting accuracy can be found, then damn it.

The game is still exciting, let’s see who can stand up in this situation..."

Duncan and Nowitzki, one was heavily guarded and targeted, the other was at the bottom of his physical fuel tank, unable to shoot hard, they were nothing more than a pair of sleeping dragons and phoenixes.

On the commentary table, Barkley sighed when he saw this scene.

"This season is the first time Duncan has led the team alone.

Without the support of David Robinson, there must be a second scoring point to help Duncan share the offensive pressure.

In particular, Duncan has been targeted from the beginning. It is impossible to rely on Duncan to solve all problems.

Next, let’s see how the Spurs solve this problem…”

On the court, Parker took the ball to the frontcourt, and Duncan did not stay in the penalty area, but moved to the high post to assist.

"pretty!
Duncan's basic skills and ability to read the game are too strong. If you flank me, you will pull out from the outside to provide a pick-and-roll for Parker.

Tan Yang was blocked, Parker broke through, chased and hit Nowitzki in a misplaced position, he broke through to the end, he shot, the ball was there, oh no.

The basketball was halfway in, but it still jumped out.

Oh my gosh, God is not on the Spurs’ side, and Parker cannot currently serve as the Spurs’ second scoring point…”

The rebound was picked off by Nowitzki. He was basically waiting for death. Unexpectedly, he survived in the end.

It can only be said that the third-year Parker's stability and lethality are not top-notch enough.

At the critical moment, he failed to stand up and break the game.

Off the court, Bo Povich's face was a little solemn, but he was not panicked.

The problem is that the Spurs don't understand offense and have defensive skills, so they can't even imagine the Mavericks' offense.

In the final analysis, they rely on defense to win, and it doesn't matter if their offensive firepower fails to reach the league's ceiling.

Just touch it defensively.

On the court, the Mavericks attack.

Tan Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt and saw that Nowitzki was too exhausted.

Although Nowitzki reached out for the ball, Tan Yang still did not dump him.

"Hey, let's see how Tan Yang handles it?

Nowitzki's defense was continuously beaten, and his physical fitness was his flaw. The offense was definitely impossible to be stable.

It is reasonable not to pass the ball to him, but the Mavericks are now behind and need someone to score to break the game.

Oh, he asked for another cover tactic. Josh Howard mentioned the top arc and blocked Parker.

Qin Yang broke through with the ball and carried Ginobili's switch. He reached the paint area. He was so strong that he was going to break through the Spurs' defense.

Duncan swept over, what the hell? Tan Yang passed the ball from left to right and passed the damn basketball to Walker in the right corner.

It was empty. Walker received the ball and was completely empty. He lifted the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point jumper..."

At this time, Duncan felt the pain of the Mavericks' double inside and double withdrawal tactical layout.

Nowitzki mentioned the high post. The Spurs can ask Horry to follow him out, or Bowen to switch defenses, but Walker also withdraws to the three-point corner. This is unreasonable. All the inside players are pulled to the outside to shoot. You How to choose?

If you guard against going out, the restricted area is like a young lady standing on the street. You can enter as much as you want. If you don't guard against going out, you can only bet that Walker's three-point pistol is out of bullets.

Swish-!
The knife falls and the ball goes in.

“Finally, finally, Walker’s three-pointer came.

Walker, who was basically invisible in the first three quarters, waited for his crazy game in the most critical fourth quarter. Under pressure, he scored an open three-pointer to equalize the score.

Well done!

With Walker's goal, the Mavericks and Spurs came to the same starting line.

What I have to mention is the player Qin Yang, he really dares to pass.

It's very possible that the Spurs' defense failed to predict that Tan Yang would choose to pass the ball to Walker to shoot at such a critical moment..."

You know, even though Nash and Jamison were put on the bench, Walker is still only the team's fourth choice, which is higher than Josh Howard's shot.

Off the court, Nelson clenched his fists in celebration.

Although he was a little skeptical about Tan Yang's choice, he also knew that this was the Mavericks' card.

Nowitzki, Finley and Walker are all All-Stars in scoring ability.

Nowitzki lacks physical fitness and is guarded by Horry, who has a similar style of play. Finley is guarded by Bowen, a top perimeter defense expert. It is not surprising that Walker's card will be turned over.

“I can only say that the Mavericks have a lot of talented people who can score, whether it sounds nice or not.

With their luxurious lineup, there are too many stars who can help Nowitzki share the offensive pressure.

Now the pressure is on the Spurs. Duncan is now being targeted by the defense. He will definitely be able to score if he hits hard, but he will definitely not be efficient at all.

But if he doesn't play hard, the quality of the supporting shooters around him seems to be insufficient.

Let’s see if any surprise soldiers come forward..."

79 to 79! !
The Spurs attacked, Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and chose to pass the ball to Duncan under the basket.

"useless.

The Mavericks' defense was waiting early, facing the flanking attacks of Finley and Nowitzki, as well as the help of Walker on the right.

Duncan chose to play a reasonable ball and distributed the ball to Bowen in the left three-point corner.

Bowen caught the ball and lifted it up. Without any hesitation, Bowen picked it up and shot. Will this ball be there..."

Finley doubled over and jumped out, but he didn't do it all. He just pretended to bet that Bowen's three-point pistol had no bullets in it.

Bang-dang——!
You guessed it, Bowen's response three-point pistol was empty of bullets.

"still none.

Bowen's courage is enough, but it's a pity that his offensive ability is a little bit behind.

Oh, Duncan stood up, lit up the basketball, and helped Horry on the other side get another offensive rebound.

This is also a pain for the Mavericks. The interior protection and rim protection are not as good as the Spurs.

Fortunately, they piled people into the penalty area, and Horry was flanked and did not find a second chance to make a last-minute shot under the basket.

The basketball was divided. Ginobili received the ball and faced Josh Howard. The three-threat took a step and did not force the ball. He suppressed the rhythm and prepared to pass the ball to Parker who came to respond.

Oh my goodness!
Ginobili pretended to pass the ball to Parker, but chose to make a sudden shot, raising his hand and trying a three-point pull-up jumper..."

This is Ginobili!
Whether it's breakthrough or shooting, he is very amazing. No one can keep up with his offensive rhythm.

Sometimes it is really wasteful. Josh Howard's defense is obviously not on the same channel as Ginobili.

One AM, one FM, I can only listen to the sound of gunshots.

Bang-dang——!
“Ginobili’s three-pointer still missed.

This is difficult to overcome. The Spurs' outside shooters are all taking three-point shots.

No one can get hard.

Oh haha, I won’t be sleepy next time.

The Spurs had an advantage in the game and failed to cause offensive damage, not to mention taking Nowitzki off the court with 4 fouls on his body. As a result, they also exposed the flaw of their outside offensive group.

The next game feels suspenseful, it’s called a full draw..."

In the continued struggle for basketball, the basketball was knocked out of the baseline and the Mavericks had the ball.

On the sidelines, Bo Povich chose to make a substitution and replaced Ginobili with Turkoglu.

After all, Ginobili's physical fuel tank has also reached the bottom.

It was obvious that Bo Povich wanted to keep this demonic sword sealed for a few minutes, and then reveal it when the final few minutes were needed to decide the outcome.

The Spurs don't have Ginobili on the court, and it won't affect their defense.

Qin Yang continued to break through and passed the ball to Walker for a three-pointer from the bottom corner, but missed this time.

Bang-dang——!
On the commentary table, Barkley shook his head.

“So it makes sense to say that a jump shooting team is unreliable and cannot win a championship.

They are all shots that float outside and are not stable at all.

Just now Walker became the hero of the Mavericks, and in the blink of an eye, he accidentally became the No. 6 who stabbed the Mavericks in the back.

It's still an anxious game, and the Mavericks no longer keep up their efforts. Not only do they put pressure on the Spurs' defense with their steady offense, they also choose to make wild shots from the outside.

It's unwise to play like this. At this time, you should rush to the basket to cause damage. If you can't score, you may still have a free throw opportunity.

Now I'm floating outside and shooting, and I still have a hair if I can't make the shot..."

On the court, Tan Yang's face was expressionless, but he was very dissatisfied inside.

He thought he had grasped Walker's crazy mode attributes, but he didn't expect that the three-point goal he just scored was probably just a matter of luck.

It can only be said that the water in the shot is too deep and it is difficult for him to grasp it! !
In transition between offense and defense, the Mavericks had a misplaced three-pointer on offense, but suffered a major blow on defense.

On the court, Parker controlled the ball to the frontcourt, and Duncan moved to the high post for a pick-and-roll.

"Tin Yang was blocked, Parker broke through, and chased Nowitzki. Oh no, he passed the ball, and Duncan caught the ball and rushed to the basket. The whistle sounded. Nowitzki couldn't hide. He Foul.

Can Duncan's offense still score...?"

Beep——!
Bang-dang——!
When the whistle sounded, Duncan's shot missed. However, Duncan clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and celebrated.

“It’s not easy for Duncan either!!
Leading the team alone, the teammates around him look good, but they are all CBA teammates.

Fortunately, Duncan was really up to his game. He hit the basket after the pick-and-roll, and while getting a foul free throw, he also caused a foul on Nowitzki's beater.

5 fouls!

Now there are 8 minutes left before the end of the fourth quarter, Nowitzki will definitely go down..."

Swish-!
Swish-!
After Duncan made two free throws, Nowitzki was replaced by Jamison.

At the same time, Ginobili came on after a 2-minute rest and replaced Horry.

The score was 81-79.

“Po Povich is going to do something.

This is a rhythm that takes advantage of the Mavericks' illness and kills them.

In the absence of Nowitzki, the victory will be decided with a sword.

Next, let's see if the Mavericks can withstand the Spurs' impact..."

In the transition between offense and defense, Tan Yang controlled the ball to the frontcourt. Nowitzki was not there, and there was no need to panic with Jamison holding the line.

Bang-!
"Oh, Qin Yang hit Parker with an arc from behind.

Parker was very active, but he was not good at physical confrontation. He was beaten by Tan Yang and his defense was very tight.

Turning around, Tan Yang went in, got to the free throw line, attracted Duncan's sweep, and then sent the basketball into the sky..."

Bang-dang——!
Jamison hung his whole body on the basket, easily eating the cake made by Tan Yang, dunking with both hands, and scored two points.

81 to 81! !
"OMG!!

Qin Yang stepped up, defeated the third-year Parker, easily assisted his teammates to score, and continued the Mavericks' offense.

Really, this Mavericks team suffered the loss of Dirk Nowitzki being injured and absent in last season's Western Conference Finals, and they upgraded their lineup because they couldn't beat the Spurs.

The additions of Jamison and Walker, as well as the discerning selection of Tan Yang and Josh Howard, have allowed the Mavericks to reduce their reliance on Nowitzki's offense..."

Who said you can't win the game without Nowitzki's spearhead?
The All-Star offensive lineup formed by Nelson has such offensive power that it can kill the Spurs without Nowitzki.

Off the court, Bo Povich didn't panic.

The question is about the situation on the court. It has always been the situation the Spurs want.

The rhythm of the game was firmly controlled by the Spurs. When the Mavericks counterattacked bravely and Nowitzki committed too many fouls, the Spurs immediately attacked Nowitzki and got Nowitzki to rest.

Despite the start now, the advantage still lies with the Spurs.

Bang-dang——!
“Parker and Duncan continued to pick and roll.

The opportunity came, but it was a pity that Parker's layup went wide. "

“The Mavericks’ counterattack was pushed into a rhythm.

Tan Yang didn't panic. He caught the ball in the frontcourt and immediately passed the ball to Josh Howard next to him.

Hey, Tan Yang wants the ball again. This is the rhythm of challenging Parker with the ball.

What the hell?

As soon as the three threats were made, without even taking a tentative step, Tan Yang pulled out. He raised his hand and tried to shoot a three-point pull-up jumper. This is too random..."

Parker was still guarding Tan Yang's breakthrough. Unexpectedly, Tan Yang didn't regard his defense as a living thing at all. He ignored his block and chose to take a three-pointer. He tried his best to block the shot, but he was still too slow. For half a beat, all I could hear was the sound of gunshots.

Swish-!
"besides!!

OMG! !
Tan Yang went crazy.

Not only did he organize an offense to defeat Parker, but he also beat Parker with a three-pointer. It was simply asking for everything Parker had to offer.

Another flaw of the Spurs was also exposed.

The question is about outside defense. Whether it is Parker or Ginobili, their defensive abilities are almost meaningless.

This Spurs team has great potential, but it is very much like the Lakers in 97 and 98. Kobe Bryant had not yet grown up.

The O'Neal of that time is the Duncan of now..."

81 to 84! !
The Spurs' tactics, execution, and opponent's layout can be said to have completely overwhelmed the Mavericks.

However, the Spurs' own problems are even more fatal.

The outside attackers can't break the defense line, and the single defense can't withstand the attacks of the opponent's stars. They are simply a pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes.

No matter how hard Duncan can fight, what's the use?
Those who come out to play in the stadium must organize the team and background.

For context, the Spurs are a small city team and the owner has no money.
When it comes to organizing the team, Parker is strong in offense and weak in defense, but the offense is not at its peak. Ginobili is strong in offense and weak in defense, and the offense is not successful. Bowen is strong in defense and weak in defense. The offense depends on the weather and cannot kill the game.

No matter how good Povich's coaching skills are, it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.

Only Duncan can't create a dynasty.

Do not believe?

Shark O'Neal did it too!
