Chapter 34 Playoffs
"Shi, you stayed on the court in the second quarter, remember your mission, and maintain your defensive strength. You did a good job just now."

Shi Lei was surprised by Popovich's sudden praise.

Shi Lei's defense just now was not as "very good" as Popovich said, at most it could only be regarded as quite satisfactory, without fault.

He man-marked Anthony very tightly, but in terms of the team's overall defensive operation, Shi Lei, who rarely had the opportunity to cooperate with the main players, was hardly qualified.

This is Popovich's command art. In order to prevent this reserved and cheap rookie from being oppressed by the sudden burden, he has to help decompress.

Shi Lei thought he would be replaced by Bowen, but Popovich's words made him a little dazed.

"Bruce, hand over Mr. Anthony to Shi. You are responsible for helping Tony. Be optimistic about their all-star point guard. Don't let the musketeers have a chance to communicate with each other."

Popovich didn't pay attention to Shi Lei's reaction anymore, but quickly conveyed his tactical intentions, and finally he told Bowen: "Pay attention to your own defensive standards, and try to control fouls."

Tony Parker, Shi Lei, Bowen, this is the outside lineup of the Spurs in the second quarter.

As the No. [-] pick in the [-] golden draft year, although Anthony did not get very convincing results and honors, and was not very mature in many aspects, he really had almost no natural enemies in a one-on-one confrontation.

Every so-called defensive champion actually has some kind of physical defect. Ben Wallace is short, has an unsteady foot, and has no talent in offense. Bowen has mediocre physical fitness and lacks speed. , Want power but no power.As long as there is some talent, no one will choose to become a blue-collar who can only defend.

As for Shi Lei, originally trained by the Spurs as Bowen's substitute, his strength is very good, and he can handle almost all outside lines without falling behind. His defensive skills are inherited from Bowen, the core of the Spurs' outside defense.What he may lack in speed, he more or less makes up for in the need for opponents to control the basketball.

When the two sides re-appeared, the Nuggets continued their strategy in the first quarter and handed over the basketball to Anthony, who fell silent after Bowen left the court.

Anthony's three threats are no threat to Shi Lei. Shi Lei will not hinder him from passing the ball. That is Bowen's job. Shi Lei mainly defends Anthony's breakthrough and interferes with his shooting.

"Don't try to block a super scorer", Bo Wen once said to Shi Lei like this, and Shi Lei can't do that, but he can make Anthony spend more energy and more methods every time he scores.

Facing a pure defensive blue-collar with strength and good defensive skills, Anthony suddenly felt uncomfortable.What's even more frightening is that when Anthony switched to post-up singles, he found that the opponent's low-post defensive ability seemed to be stronger.

This was a shocking discovery for him!

Of course, facing a scorer like Anthony is the greatest misfortune for a defender. When this person is still a rookie with little experience, his end is - end!
Shi Lei completed the task assigned to him by Popovich very well in this game, but fell into a crisis of fouling. When the game entered the third quarter and was about to end, Shi Lei fouled and was fined.

In the nearly 17 minutes he played, Shi Lei didn't score a single point, picked up two rebounds and sent out one assist.Well, the data is extremely rubbish, so after the game, he was ignored by all the media, and there was no report about him. Even the Chinese media did not have the nerve to publish such words as "slashing" two rebounds.

However, Shi Lei's role in this game was not only to restrain Anthony, he also liberated Bowen. When Bowen defended Iverson, he liberated the whole team.The Nuggets have never had such a deep bench lineup. The whole universe knows that this is a two-person team. When Anthony and Iverson are both restricted, the Nuggets' ending is doomed.

The Spurs were still the Spurs in the first game, and their score was even three points lower than the first game, but they still won this game, because compared with the previous game, the "Golden Double Guns" only scored 40 points. point.

Although the Spurs let Martin grab 8 rebounds and Camby grabbed 18 rebounds, Duncan grabbed 14 rebounds.

For these, Shi Lei is not very concerned, what he is most concerned about now is how long it will take for him to be matched with White.

Back at their home court, the support of the fans did not allow the Nuggets to play the rhythm they are good at. Their offense was completely disrupted by the Spurs. Every time they decided to grab points, Bobo, who already had confidence in Shi Lei Vicki, he will be replaced to defend Anthony.

Of course, because of Shi Lei's lack of offensive ability, the Spurs' scoring will be greatly restricted, but Popovich doesn't care, he is used to this kind of game, and he is also good at leading the team to the final victory in this way.

Wave after wave, no one's toughness can be as inexhaustible as the waves, and they remain turbulent at all times. The Nuggets are lost in the Spurs' defensive maze in this frequent self-mutilation defense.

Although taking advantage of the advantage of the home court, they let Shi Lei appear on the stage one after another, received his graduation certificate and made it to the sidelines in less than a quarter.

The total score of the two sides became 2:1. This is not a score that makes the situation very clear, but the media has already begun to bad-mouth the Nuggets.

"The combination of two superstars who can't produce a chemical reaction is a joke."

"Iverson will never win a championship, his basketball is a mistake."

"That's the 'answer."
