Standing pretty old

Chapter 824 Intuition fulfilled, God is destined

"beep!"

Just 5 seconds into the second half, on the offensive end of the Clippers, Jordan was fouled for holding the ball in a low post.

Even the chief referee, Ron Oleshak, who doesn't like whistle blowing, directly called a foul. It can be seen how obvious the foul action of Splitter, who replaced Blair, was.

Jordan's expression was very calm. As early as the halftime break, Ruan Erniu in the locker room predicted the scene in front of him.

The 9-point difference is not too big, but Popovich still tried to disrupt the Clippers' offensive rhythm from the beginning.

Erniu and Jordan had a simple look at each other, and now the question became very simple, can Jordan make the free throw?
For the Spurs, the boundary between intrigue and intrigue is only in Jordan's free throw percentage.

The classic inverted toilet is reproduced!
Dribble, squat, throw...

If it is said that there will still be fans mocking Jordan's free throws in the away game, then at the Clippers' home court, most fans still hold their breath, waiting for Jordan's trial.

"boom!"

Strike the iron with one penalty!
The basketball bounced off the front of the basket and crashed back into Jordan's hands.

Uncle Huang pinched the ball and passed it back to the referee, and Oleshak passed the ball back to Jordan.

The Great Emperor took a deep breath, recalled the "teaching" of the two girls in his mind, and then threw the ball out again...

At the moment before Jordan's shot, Er Niu directly got into a hand-to-hand fight with Duncan and Jefferson under the basket. Even if it is a simple rebound, both sides are bound to win.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the front of the backboard again, and the inside players of the two teams under the basket had already squeezed into a mess.

Just when everyone was judging the basketball's landing point, the basketball rebounded into the air and fell again with a violent rotation...

"brush!"

Two free throws and one hit!
Relying on the violent bottom-up rotation of the empty toilet, the basketball finally fell into the center of the basket.

Jordan raised his arms and cheered, as if he had won the world. That's right, even if he only made 50% of his free throws, the Spurs had to consider the success rate of slashing.

On the offensive end of the Spurs, Parker held the ball in a high position, and Duncan and Splitter raised the screen at the same time. Parker took the ball and walked to Duncan's side. After attracting the Clippers to defend, he immediately distributed the ball to the flank.

Danny Green had been in ambush for a long time, and he raised his hand to shoot.

"brush!"

Three point hit!

The so-called Tielin statement by Tianchao fans actually appeared in the playoffs of the 14-15 season.

At that time, Tielin's three-point shooting percentage fell from 41.8% in the regular season to 30%. This is Huang Ama's foundational battle.

Of course, what is even more surprising is the dramatic fluctuations in Tielin's three-point shooting percentage.

In the following season, that is, in the 15-16 season, Tielin's three-point shooting percentage in the regular season dropped to 33.2%, which is already the season with the best outside shooting percentage since his rookie season.

But as soon as the playoffs came, Huang Ama immediately used practical actions to tell the fans why Popovich always trusted him. In the playoffs, his three-point shooting percentage reached a career-high 50%.

Back to the present, Danny Green in the 11-12 season is by no means Tielin, but a very reliable 3D shooter. His three-point shooting rate exceeds 40%.

One goal after another, Green hit a three-pointer again, and the scores of the two teams were quickly drawn.

Of course Ruan Erniu would not sit back and watch this situation develop.

On the offensive end of the Clippers, Kraft Nguyen held the ball in a low post, and Tim Duncan, who played the entire first half, continued to defend the Celestials.

Er Niu didn't make any compromises with this 36-year-old veteran, "Boom!", "Boom!" Er Niu's back-up technique has already reached the point of proficiency, even if the opponent behind him can't keep up in terms of strength, He can take immediate measures and use various means to complete the end.

According to what Zhang Lili said in his future autobiography "Very Reasonable-Zhang Lili's Biography"-for inside players, in addition to strength, "back sensitivity" is also a very important ability.

And the "back sensitivity" of inside players is generally stronger than that of outside players.

Because inside players have more opportunities to attack with their backs, they need to use their backs to lean on people, and sense the defender's position through their backs at any time, and "use it or lose it" over time.

In the book, Zhang Lili also told such a short story of "sticking a pencil":
"Later, I went to the Physical Education Institute to study and did a special experiment. I took two pencils to keep them level and stabbed the athlete's back at the same time. I asked him how many pencils, and he said two.

OK, keep the two pencils horizontal, and shrink them a little at the same time, and ask him how many more, he still said two.

Continue to shrink inward, shrinking to a certain range, the outside players will think it is a pencil, and the inside players can still judge it is two.The two pencils shrink closer and closer, and finally they are almost shrunk together. You can still tell that it is two pencils (not one), and this person's back is very sensitive.

My back is very sensitive, and the two pencils are almost connected together, and I can still feel that there are two pencils.It's not that I was born this way, but because I have been playing inside with my back for many years, and I have gradually become more and more sensitive with practice. "

The above sounds like "Tai Chi Ting Jin", the authenticity of which needs to be verified, but for excellent insiders, they can indeed use their backs to fight to judge the opponent's defense.

Continuous back hits, half-turns, cuts, feints, and forwards to pick the basket.

The older Duncan really can't stop the second bull, just like he couldn't stop Bunche Wales and Zach Randolph in the past few years. There is nothing he can do about it, let alone a genius like Ruan Erniu who possesses both strength and skill.

The game entered a stalemate again. Except for Duncan, who was locked by Erniu, the Spurs found their positions in this quarter and contributed their strength on the offensive end.

As for the Clippers, it all depends on Er Niu and JJ* Redick to score points in this quarter.

The Spurs' offensive style seems more reasonable, but the Clippers can use their super personal ability to get the ball into the basket.

In the real basketball world, the so-called reasonable tactical arrangements will always encounter unreasonable individual superstar abilities, but the team that can really maintain its hegemony for a long time is undoubtedly a team that has both.

Just as a championship needs to have both offense and defense, the real strong also needs to have superstars and excellent tactics that can stimulate the team's chemical reaction. The act of forcibly distinguishing the two is itself a boring obsession.

At 28:27, the Spurs led by 1 point in a single quarter, and the three quarters ended. At 71:79, the Clippers still held an 8-point lead and entered the final quarter of the game.

Charles Barkley said on TNT's commentary booth: "The Spurs were in trouble, they tried to kill Jordan early in the second half, but DeAndre's performance tonight was not bad.

San Antonio's overall offense was indeed better, but they also couldn't contain Kraft Nguyen's personal offense. In addition, JJ* Redick also scored 2 three-pointers in this quarter. "

O'Neill said: "Then I'm still broadcasting the issue you are most concerned about whether Kraft Nguyen can break his 50+ consecutive record tonight.

The third quarter is over, and Kraft Nguyen has scored 38 points. As long as he can score 12 points in the last quarter, he will expand his consecutive 50+ scoring games to 6 games.

To be honest, if I were Popovich, I should start thinking about whether to pay the price of losing and prevent Kraft Nguyen from completing a historical record on his head. You know, this is just a regular season. "

Reggie Miller on the side said: "I believe not, because even if the Chinese won 50+ tonight, his record of 6 consecutive games has not surpassed Chamberlain who scored 7+ in 50 consecutive games.

To be honest, I am more concerned about another thing in this game. Tim Duncan has played three quarters. Is Popovich really going to not give TD a minute of rest?

You know, Kafu Ruan rested intermittently for 4 minutes. "

Don't look at Ruan Erniu completely blowing up Tim Duncan, but if it weren't for the dullness to support the team's defensive system and play a lot of supporting role on the offensive end, maybe the Spurs would have been blown up long ago.

The role of some people really cannot be reflected by low-level data, and Popovich has no choice but to replace Duncan with a player on the bench, he will not fuck Duncan to death.

In the final quarter of the game, Popovich finally made a compromise. He put Duncan, who had played for three quarters, on the bench, giving Daidai a rare chance to breathe.On the other hand, Kraft Nguyen also got a rest time in the first half of the last quarter.

Ginobili's injury was not healed, and Duncan was so fucked that his physical strength was close to collapse. The Spurs had only one last move-TP9 individual singles.

That's right, don't say that the Spurs are an overall team, who the hell dares to deny that GDP is a star player?
If there is no Popovich, maybe they will each become the team leader, maybe they can't get so many championship rings, but they are very likely to get better data or more salary.

Most of the time, in the confrontation with the Gaul sports car, Sanpao is the one with the superior data, but tonight's TP9 is obviously more aggressive than CP3.

The Spurs have the ball, Parker breaks through with the ball, uses the cover to enter the penalty area in two steps, and throws the ball into the basket against the defensive underhand.

After this goal, the first half of the second quarter entered Tony Parker's dominance. He actually overwhelmed Paul in a short period of time, and successfully hit the basket with the ball many times. 2 points difference.

Er Niu had to return to the court ahead of time, and the inside line without Kafu Ruan's guard seemed too empty.

But with Parker's outburst, CP3 was also irritated!

He used almost the same method to catch up with Parker. Paul continued to attack the basket with the ball on the offensive end, and once again opened the score between the two teams.

Halfway through the final quarter, the Spurs replaced Duncan again.

Daidai has no hope of suppressing the Bulls on the offensive end tonight, but with his restraint, DeJuan Blair can shoot Jordan in the middle distance again and again.

When Jordan finally knew how to save, Gary Neal, who came off the bench, found an excellent shooting touch. After scoring a three-pointer and a large two-pointer in a row, the scores of the two teams were once again overwhelmed. draw closer.

As the game progressed, the Spurs finally caught up slowly without knowing it. By the last minute of the game, the score of the two teams had reached 1:90.

The Clippers only have a slight advantage of one point, and the ball is still in the hands of the Spurs.

Tony Parker held the ball in a high position, Duncan raised the screen, Parker hit the basket with the ball, Ruan Erniu came to help defend, a big cap slapped the ball out, but was caught by Duncan who was rushing towards him.

Dadai relaxed the ape's arms, and threw the ball into the basket at close range.

At 92:91, the Spurs overtook the score for the first time at halftime.

There are 40 seconds left in the game.

Paul dribbled the ball across the half court, organized steadily and took a little time. The player with a big heart was calm and desperate at the critical moment.

Er Niu took the initiative to raise the three-point line, Paul used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Parker, and sprinted!

Duncan, Blair, and Parker behind him surrounded them from three directions. The Spurs' zone defense required them to block any space in CP3 immediately.

The three guns didn't have any strong meaning. After a brief pause, he sent the ball from the gap between Duncan and Parker.

Ruan Erniu, who was at the top arc of the outside line, got the basketball without anyone watching.

"brush!"

A neat three-pointer!

At 92:94, the Clippers led by 2 points, with only the last 33 seconds remaining. That is to say, as long as the Spurs do not rush to attack, the Clippers will have the last chance to attack in most cases.

Popovich used up the last long timeout, Parker sent a sideline ball, and the Spurs reorganized the battle.

After a complex pass and cut cooperation, Parker can only rely on his personal ability to shoot against Paul in the end.

"boom!"

Missed, but the Spurs starter Richard Jefferson, who was almost silent throughout the game, made a contribution. He hit the rebound at the last minute in a tragic inside confrontation.

"brush!"

With a light touch of Jefferson's finger, the basketball was clicked into the basket.

94:94, the game time is only the last 11 seconds.

The Clippers also used up the last long timeout, and Paul ended the double screen and ran out of space.

In 10 seconds, Parker rushed forward.

In 9 seconds, Paul continued to hold the ball.

In 8 seconds, Paul protected the ball with his back.

In 7 seconds, Paul dribbled the ball sideways and under his crotch.

In 6 seconds, Er Niu went up to cover.

In 5 seconds, he and Paul made a short pass.

In 4 seconds, Paul shook off Parker, only to find Danny Green jumping in front of him.

In 3 seconds, Paul faced the double-team and sent the ball out, in the direction of JJ* Redick.

In 2 seconds, Redick received the basketball from the wing position, wide open.

In 1 second, Redick shot.

Most of the audience at the Staples Center stood.

"boom!"

"Oh!!!!!"

Hitting the iron, many spectators at the scene held their heads in their hands, acting somewhat frustrated.

The Clippers did pass on the open space, but Redick failed to make the lore shot in the end.

Overtime!

This is a huge physical test for both sides of the game. Relatively speaking, the Spurs have fewer players in their rotation, and they have obvious disadvantages such as age and away games.

Also, Kraft Ruan just scored 47 points tonight. It seems that even a certain master in the dark hopes that the Celestials can take the record of 50+ consecutively one step further.
