Legendary star

Chapter 248 Reaching the Top of the League
"The king's substitutes are really cheating." When the two teams' substitute lineups came on the field in the second quarter, Meng Xu on the sidelines also sighed.Originally Adelman wanted this group of substitutes to chase points, but now the point difference between the two teams is getting bigger and bigger. , When facing the King's bench lineup, it is simply asking for anything.And the king's sixth man Bobby Jackson was sent to the starting lineup by Adelman, the king's bench lineup did not even have a stable scoring point.

Therefore, after the two teams played for 3 minutes, the point difference between the two teams came to 15 points. At the same time, Adelman immediately called a timeout and dispatched all the main lineup, intending to use the main lineup to chase points. .And Popovich also sent Duncan at the same time. This is the first time this season that Duncan led the bench lineup, and he still used the bench lineup to deal with the opposing main lineup.

After Duncan came on the court, the Spurs started to play Duncan and Lieve LaFrentz's double-tower tactics. Lieve LaFrentz basically didn't have low-post offense, but he had a good mid-range shot, and this guy's defense was also very good. Yes, especially the blocking ability, which is top-notch among all centers in the entire league. Riff LaFrentz has averaged 2.6 blocks per game this season, more than David Robinson.Although Riff LaFrentz is a white player, his physical fitness is still very good, and his basketball IQ is very high. Now the Spurs management has prepared to focus on training him. Fortunately, after David Robinson retires, he will be the Spurs The main center is now, but this season Riff LaFrentz's rookie contract expires, and the renewal of Riff LaFrentz this summer is another big expense.

At the same time, compared with the aging David Robinson, Riff LaFrentz, who is only in the third grade today, is more physically fit and moves very well. For this reason, Riff LaFrentz is always floating outside on the offensive end, so when defending Verratti Divac, Riff LaFrentz has an advantage over David Robinson, because he always Can keep up with the pace of Verratti - Divac.

"Tim Duncan's dominance around the basket is too strong." After the game restarted, because Riff LaFrentz had to go out to defend Divac, the task of protecting the basket fell to Duncan Without David Robinson's cover, Webb rushed directly to the basket with confidence and boldness, trying to single Duncan under the basket, but he failed to hit 3 times in a row.

And now there is also a very weird scene on the field. The bench lineup led by Duncan is more efficient on the defensive end than when the main lineup is all on the field. Doing better, Mario Elli, Sean Elliott and David Robinson are all old men who are almost 40. Although they have rich experience in the game, their physical fitness and footsteps are obviously unable to keep up now. Although this group of young players lacks game experience, the defensive system formed around Duncan is still very effective.

"Damn it, hate it." After Duncan's interference in another low-post singles attack, Weber was clearly unable to hold his breath. While retreating, he clenched his fists and muttered incessantly. .

And after Webber started to fall into the singles vortex with Duncan, the Kings couldn't find their own rhythm throughout the second quarter, and the Spurs kept slowing down the rhythm of the game, and even played fouls at all costs. Disrupt the rhythm of the king.And this kind of fragmented game is obviously beneficial to the Spurs. By the end of the half, 50 to 37, the Spurs had already led the Kings by 13 points.

After halftime, Duncan also contributed 21 points and 12 rebounds. Webber, who was facing Duncan, made 14 of 4 shots in the half and scored 10 points and 4 rebounds. , Duncan completely blasted Weber.

When the game started in the third quarter, the Spurs and the Kings also deployed their own main lineups, but seeing the increasingly unfavorable situation on the court, Adelman was also very anxiously pacing back and forth on the sidelines. After the rest of the game, under Adelman's persuasion, Chris Webber finally gave up his plan to continue playing Duncan in singles, but the King still couldn't find the rhythm of the game he was familiar with. The Spurs or Popovich controlled the rhythm of the game. The ability is too strong. From the beginning of this game, the king has deviated from his own track, gradually sliding towards the familiar rhythm of the Spurs, and finally the king has now completely entered the rhythm of the Spurs.And judging from the situation on the court, Tim Duncan also has a very strong ability to control the rhythm of the game, which Adelman has not seen from Webber so far. Webb no less.

"Jason be careful." Jason Williams, who was eaten by Meng Xu in the first quarter, stopped playing those tricks after re-entering the court in the third quarter, but protected the ball very honestly , Even if you call your teammates to cover at halftime, you can’t make a mistake. Therefore, although the rhythm on the court is getting slower and slower, and the Kings are falling behind more and more, in the third quarter Jason Williams’s performance is very good. It is quite satisfactory, without the phenomenon of crazy mistakes in the appearance and the first quarter of the game.But being too low-key is obviously not Jason Williams' style. After spending the first 3 minutes safely, when the official timeout was about to come, Jason Williams was in love again. After being blocked by Peja Stojakovic and his own defense turned into Mario Eli, Jason Williams wanted to make another coquettish pass.

In this attack, David Robinson rarely left the basket, and Tim Duncan went to defend Doug Christie for Sean Elliott. Finally, it was vacant, and it was a very good chance to face the frame, so Jason Williams made a gesture towards Webb, turned half-turned on the spot with a very skillful hand, and threw the basketball from his back towards Webb. Throwing it above the rim, it can be predicted that once Weber receives the basketball in the air and completes the lob, then this will be another typical top ten ball cooperation.

But as soon as his basketball was thrown from behind, Jason Williams heard his teammates shouting loudly behind him. He looked back and saw that the basketball he had thrown had already reached Meng Xu's hands, and looked at him in shock. Meng Xu, who had already made a fast break, Jason Williams' fingers were shaking uncontrollably.

"The king is over." After Meng Xu's fast-break dunk, the point difference between the two teams reached 19 points, and at this time Magic Johnson directly sentenced the king to death.

"Chris's expression is really interesting." Unlike Magic Johnson, Michaels is now focusing all his attention on Chris Webber. Just now Weber saw Jason Williams After James made an alley-oop gesture towards him, Weber didn't hesitate at all. After taking a step forward, he jumped directly towards the top of the basket, but what was more embarrassing was that Weber didn't see it until he landed. Basketball passed by Jason Williams.

"Is there really nothing we can do?" Looking at the distraught Jason Williams and the unwilling Chris Webber on the field, Adelman bit his lip on the sidelines.In the four games against the Spurs this season, except for the first game where the King defeated the Spurs because of Meng Xu's absence, the Kings ended in disastrous defeats in the next few games. The outcome of the previous two games is the same.The Kings have never been able to find a way to break the Spurs' defense, especially Jason Williams has become unable to play under Meng Xu's defense. In this state, once the two teams are in the playoffs Encounter, the king has no chance of winning.

When the third quarter ended, the Spurs' lead had reached 81 points, 60 to 21. When the players on both sides left the court, almost everyone in the Sleeping Train Arena now knew that the game had ended. It's over, with a gap of 21 points, the fourth quarter has inevitably been reduced to garbage time.

In the end, after the substitute lineups of both sides finished the garbage time in the fourth quarter, the Spurs defeated the Kings by a big score of 105 to 91 in the away game. In this game, Tim Duncan contributed 30 points in less than 30 minutes of playing time. Points, 18 rebounds, and 4 blocks, while Webb had 19 points and 11 rebounds.While the team beat their opponents, Duncan once again overwhelmed Chris Webber in terms of statistics.In this game, Meng Xu also contributed 8 points, 9 rebounds, and 11 assists in a quasi-triple-double. This season, Meng Xu has gradually become a triple-double machine after switching to point guard.

"Congratulations to the Spurs, congratulations to Tim Duncan, congratulations to them once again boarded the first position in the regular season." When the whistle blew the end of the game, Michaels stood up from the commentary. .

After losing this game, while the Kings handed over the league's first throne, Chris Webber also lost the opportunity to compete with Tim Duncan for the regular season MVP.
