Chapter 343 Young People

No one can deny the brilliance of the Spurs. They won 21 championships in the first decade of the 3st century.

Just like the 76ers, the Spurs who selected Duncan started their legendary road.Until now, many people believe that the Spurs' selection of Duncan is like the Bulls' selection of Jordan, which is the most successful draft model.

The last time the Spurs entered the finals was in 07, when the Spurs won the championship that year, and the French sports car Parker won the finals MVP, defeating the young emperor James who was in the sky but entered the finals for the first time, that is, that Once, Duncan uttered his classic quote.

"The future is yours."

Unexpectedly, after six years, Duncan entered the end of his career and led the Spurs to the finals again. This time, he encountered a stronger opponent than six years ago.

The game started with the eyes of the world on, at midfield, Splitter and Gasol ready to jump the ball.

Tang Wenlong stood on the left side of the center line. Next to him was Leonard with braids and dark skin. He had a serious face and a serious face. His strong arms were pressed against Tang Wenlong, and he looked forward to jumping the ball. The two insiders didn't intend to have a scene with Tang Wenlong.

Tang Wenlong was also too lazy to talk. Leonard also knew that the well-known sulking man in the league, just like Duncan, basically didn't show much emotion on the court, not even a word of trash talk.

In midfield, the referee threw the ball straight up.

Gasol kicked off the ground and flew up, his long arms outstretched significantly beyond Split, and he touched the basketball first without any effort, and pointed the basketball back to his own half.

David West steps sideways, grabs the ball, and throws a pass back into Lowry's hands.

"A3 Tactics!" Lowry controlled the ball with his right hand and advanced. While advancing, he raised his left hand high, made a gesture of tactical arrangement, and gave instructions to his teammates' running positions.

The 76ers have cooperated with each other for many years, and there is some tacit understanding in tactics.

Tang Wenlong ambushed in the bottom corner. First, the pick-and-roll cooperation between Lowry and Iguodala. In the inside penalty area, Gasol Jr. provided an off-ball screen for David West.

David West, who came out of the screen, fell to the elbow area. Just after Lowry came out with the help of Iguodala's pick-and-roll, he encountered David West's screen at this time, which turned out to be a double screen .The most direct effect is that Lowry's dislocation is small and big, facing Duncan's defense.

He changed direction with a cross step, and changed direction to the right while walking, opened the distance with Duncan, and made a mid-range jumper with an emergency stop.

Duncan was not sure about Lowry's direction, and he didn't dare to get too close. The distance between the two was a bit large. When Lowry stopped for a jump shot, Duncan jumped forward and stretched his arms to defend against interference.

The arc of the basketball is not high, and after the wrist is pressed down, it hits the basket accurately.

"nice shot!"

The Wachovia Center Arena instantly fell into jubilation. Lowry's head start made a good start for the game. The wonderful pull-up jumper was still completed on Duncan's head, which was of great significance.

Duncan walked back to the baseline to serve blankly, and the Spurs couldn't see any movement.

When Parker dribbled forward, the Spurs finally made a move. Parker, like Lowry, also stretched out his palm to make tactical arrangements.

The Spurs chose a tactic of supporting the ball in a high position. Parker gave it to Duncan who followed up in the middle. Duncan then transferred the ball to the left and handed it to Danny Green.

At the same time, Split made an off-ball screen a little outside the three-second zone. Parker made a big circle, passed Split's screen, and ran to the left corner to ambush.Danny Green walked up the line, Duncan straddled his thigh, covered with his hands, and made a pick-and-roll.

On the weak side, Leonard moved up the line, and seemed to have a cross screen with Danny Green on the outside.

At this moment, Danny Green, who was in possession of the ball, turned his head and went to the inside to kill. Iguodala was fully focused and naturally followed closely.

Danny Green passed back to the high position Duncan, and Duncan looked left and right, looking for an opportunity to respond.

Unable to see the opportunity to respond, Duncan gave it to Parker who moved to the upper line from the bottom corner. Parker received a hand-off pass and screen from Duncan, and got an open jumper from the mid-range.

The basketball swiped around the rim and rolled out, and the rebound was easily grabbed by Gasol Jr.

The Spurs missed a hit and immediately retreated like a tide. Tang Wenlong and his teammates pressed up with the whole team, and Lowry controlled the ball a little to the left of the top of the arc.

Tang Wenlong started to run, moved laterally to the elbow area, and then turned his back to Leonard to ask for the ball.

Lowry made a beckoning motion, and David West on the baseline withdrew to the right position, and then Lowry hit the ground and passed, allowing Tang Wenlong to catch the basketball with a slight bend.

The young man behind him is not weak in physical strength. Unlike LeBron, who mostly attacks face-up, Tang Wenlong is going to test Leonard's defense with a back-to-basket attack.

He lightly tapped his toes, arched his waist, and leaned his upper body back as much as possible.

Leonard's left hand was stuck in Tang Wenlong's waist, his right hand was raised high, his feet were spread apart at about sixty degrees, his eyes were piercing, and he was ready.

"That's the current scoring leader in the league. We must guard against it!" Off the court, Popovich looked calm on the surface, but he didn't have any idea in his heart. Such an important task was entrusted to Leonard, who is also 22 years old. On the one hand, he really values ​​this disciple very much, especially the latter's talent and concentration in defense. On the other hand, he also has to face great pressure from the outside world.

The air seemed to stop flowing, and all eyes were on the elbow area, where the two young men wrestled.

Tang Wenlong took a deep breath, adjusted his rhythm, and then suddenly stretched his toes, leaning forward like a mountain.

"Bang!" Leonard's bent arm hit his chest directly, and he felt an unimaginable force, and then the body stuck in the main position floated unconsciously, and the center of gravity was unstable.

"Oops!" Leonard exclaimed secretly.

The next moment, Tang Wenlong felt the change of the center of gravity of the defender behind him. His footsteps moved, and his left foot took half a step back to the left. It happened to be stuck at Leonard's feet, and then his right foot quickly exerted force on the ground, as if his body was dancing a waltz. , turning his back deftly and domineeringly.

Tang Wenlong changed hands to control the ball, blocked Leonard's big hand with a backhand with his right hand, and then passed his defense with one step.

This back turn was too fast, and because Tang Wenlong was stuck in the position, when Leonard turned around and followed up, Tang Wenlong was already ahead by more than one body.

Immediately there was applause.

Tang Wenlong strode across the bottom line, his left hand and right hand were close together, and he made a false shooting motion of praying to Buddha.

The left foot takes a big step to the left, the right heel is brought together, and then the toes are exerted, the body is turned halfway and the jumper is thrown back, a step-back jumper with a very good rhythm!
Leonard's defense was not absolutely out of position, but it did not cause much interference.

Tang Wenlong raised his chin and made a steady hit.
