Chapter 399 Defensive Prediction
The outcome of this game is absolutely impossible to decide now. The head coaches of both sides, who clearly know this, have conservatively chosen to let the main players of the team recuperate.

In fact, the confrontation between Shi Lei and Ginobili is also one of the highlights of this match!

"Although the season has just started, there seems to be no suspense about the ownership of the season's best sixth man award. That is the stone of the Celtics. If there is anyone who can prevent him from winning this honor again, then that person must be Kyle. Nobili!"

They, who had received much attention before the game, finally stood on the court. The fans immediately cheered Shi Lei and booed Ginobili.

The DJ at the stadium also called Shi Lei's name loudly: "Our best sixth man, the youngest of the four Celtic brothers, the flag of our future, the rock that cannot be shaken even in the storm, the stadium The ghost of our selfless No. [-] assassin—Shi Lei!"

The DJ passionately added a lengthy prefix to Shi Lei's name, and the final vibrato was also extraordinarily long, which made the fans cheer even more intensely.

For a player, this may be the best encouragement.

This made Shi Lei, who had just matched up with Bowen of his dreams, even more excited.

"It's time for the Celtics to attack. The baseline ball was sent directly to Shi. Shi looked in a good mood. This game is a test for him. I hope he can maintain this mood until the game." End!"

After both sides came off the bench, Bill Walton, who had been complaining about the game before, became generally serious. His eyes looked at the game more seriously than before, because he believed that the outcome of this game would be decided by the substitutes. Among those times played are decided.

Many basketball experts who watched this game also thought so, such as the partner sitting next to Bill Walton: "But in fact it is a bit difficult. When the main force cannot widen the point difference, the Celtics have actually fallen into It's a disadvantage because their substitutes are much worse than their opponents!"

However, this does not shake Bill Walton's support for the Celtics and Shi Lei: "Hey, man, you have to admit the fact that in the NBA, it has never been those many people who can decide a game. People who can’t remember!”

Yes, in the NBA, most of the players who can decide a game are the stars, so the Spurs, who occupy the scene, put a large part of their defensive energy on Shi Lei.

Shi Lei calmly controlled the basketball. With Amy Udoka's defense and Roger Mason's eye-catching help defense, he commanded the team's tactics without haste.

Compared to the starting point guards of the two teams, Shi Lei is more like a rhythm control master. Under his command, the Celtics' offensive tactics are running in an orderly manner.

Uduka followed Shi Lei step by step. This is another Bowen's successor that Popovich chose after Shi Lei left. Although he is also keen on defense, compared to Bowen, he still has a lot to offer. Long way to go, though he's better physically.

Defense, in fact, also requires talent!For example, you must have the intuition to detect the opponent's offensive intention in time.
Shi Lei took a step forward, when Uduka was about to get close to him, Shi Lei suddenly stepped back and broke in from his left side.

In this regard, Udoka has nothing to do. In fact, he is not the Spurs' first choice to defend players like James and Shi Lei. White is.His good physical talent, when dealing with these people, is actually not much different from Bowen.

But the Spurs' bench team did a good job of defending Shi Lei. As soon as Shi Lei cut through Udoka, Mason blocked Shi Lei with his body, followed by Ginobili from one side. up.

Seeing that the opponent's defense was all concentrated on him, Shi Lei immediately passed the ball.

Tony broke through to the Spurs' basket without stopping after receiving the basketball, dodged Bonner's defense and sent the ball into the basket.

"Look, this is what a star does!"

Bill Wharton shrugged his shoulders and said to his partner.

"There are no such basketball stars in the United States!"

"But for a game, putting the basketball in the basket through a reasonable path is a better way to win!"

During the debate in the commentary booth, Mason controlled the basketball and came to the Celtics' half court.

Ginobili is being pestered by Tony Allen, but Shi Lei's defensive task is still very heavy, because the Spurs' two inside substitutes have good scoring ability, especially Bonner, who is a shooter type inside .

The inside defense is precisely what the Celtics are most worried about.

Sure enough, when Ginobili caught the ball at a bad time, Shi Lei, Mason passed the basketball to Bonner who was pulled out.

Fat Davis is like the tortoise in the tortoise and the hare. Although he is still trying to catch up, people can't see any hope of catching up with him before the rabbit dozes off.

Shi Lei, who had been prepared for a long time, ran to a suitable defensive position before Bonner completed his turn.

"Very timely defense!"

"But the Spurs' transfer of the ball is more timely!"

Maybe it was Popovich who had made arrangements before the game, or maybe it was Bonner who was still worried about Shi Lei's defense. When he saw Shi Lei's defense coming up, he simply gave up and turned around. Instead, he took a step forward and gave Gino Billy set a pick-and-roll screen, blocked Tony, who had been stalking him, and handed him the basketball.

"Ginobili breaks through!"

Ginobili started to break through from the right side of the field far away from Shi Lei, and Shi Lei hurriedly chased him obliquely. Suddenly, Shi Lei stopped his pursuit and raised his hands high.

At the moment when he was about to catch up with Ginobili, looking at the opponent's dribbling movements and pace, Shi Lei suddenly had an intuition that Ginobili would choose to change direction!

"Beautiful defensive prediction! This is the ghost of the Celtics court! Bill Russell on the perimeter!"

In terms of speed, Ginobili was very fast, but he was not Shi Lei's opponent, so Shi Lei's defense quickly caught up, and he didn't feel surprised, and he was already prepared to deal with it.

Ginobili, who is very flexible, suddenly twisted his waist, made a wrong footstep, and at the same time handed over the basketball to his left hand, and completed all the movements of changing direction, but what surprised him was that what his eyes saw It's not a basket, but an enlarged "1".

"How did he guess my movements?"

Ginobili threw himself into Shi Lei's arms by surprise. When the basketball was touched by Shi Lei, the first reaction that popped up in his mind was such a question!
