Chapter 298 Attitude
Duncan majored in psychology when he was at Wake Forest University, which may have benefited from this. Whether it is a normal game or a critical moment, he can always ensure a stable mentality.This is also commendable for Chaoju.
Xu Tian, Kobe, and George all have shooting ability. They are not particularly afraid of the Spurs' frightening zone defense. They lower their rhythm and directly fight them in the Spurs' rhythm.
Kobe receives the ball from the left waist.
The teammates all stood on the right side, pulling away the Spurs' defense and allowing Kobe to play singles with the ball.
Although Popovich knew that Kobe had declined since the Achilles tendon injury, he still focused on the defensive end and let Danny Green be responsible for defending Kobe.
The Spurs still need to defend George and Xu Tian, and they can't tell the difference anymore, so they can only defend Kobe alone.
As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Kobe was once a superstar with extremely rich offensive methods. Even if he has declined now, he is definitely not limited by one person.Perform post-up singles according to the habit, shake the shoulder fake, turn over and lean back to shoot a jumper.
Popovich stood on the sidelines, watching the arc of the basketball, knowing that the ball would definitely score, and couldn't help but think of the matchups with the Lakers over the years.Kobe at that time really made him suffer a lot.
At his peak, Duncan was able to carry sharks alone for a short time, his core strength was extremely strong, and he had an absolute upper hand in the confrontation with Tyson Chandler.But he made a steady shot, and there was nothing he could do.
4-2!
Tony Parker made a tactical gesture with his left hand that only the Spurs could understand, trotted the ball across the half court, and organized an attack at the top of the arc.
Kawhi Leonard and Xu Tian competed secretly, and neither of them would back down, making it impossible for Tony Parker, who was dribbling, to pass the ball to Kawhi Leonard.
Duncan wanted to get to the position inside and stretched out his right hand for the ball.
Tony Parker has partnered with Duncan for more than ten years, and he habitually believed in this big brother with a calm personality, and passed in a lob pass.
Duncan dribbled with his back, crushed Tyson Chandler with strength, and turned around to hit the plate and throw.
The middle distance of the board is Duncan's stunt. Although the accuracy has declined compared to the peak, it still has a grasp far above the average level.
Wipe the board, hit!
4-4!
Tyson Chandler made a slight thug movement when trying to defend, but the referee's scale was very loose in this game and no penalty was given.
Duncan was not used to complaining, so he immediately turned around and ran to the backcourt, trying his best to make up for the declining speed.
The Lakers' ability to push fast breaks and counterattacks this season is the best in the league. No opponent dares to be careless on the defensive end.As long as the opportunity is seized by the Lakers, it may be terminated by a wave.
Xu Tian didn't want to speed up the pace at all. He walked through the half court in eight seconds, faced Kawhi Leonard's defense at the top of the arc, and bent over to dribble.
Kawhi Leonard has a pair of big hands that are bigger than Jordan. These hands make him very powerful on the defensive end. Compared with Xu Tian, the number of head-on steals is basically the same.However, it is still quite difficult to grab the ball from Xu Tian.
Kawhi Leonard didn't dare to attack. Once out of position, Xu Tian has countless ways to help the team complete the offense.Such an offensive threat cannot be tolerated by the Spurs' defense system.
The defender facing George is Tony Parker. Relatively speaking, the offensive pressure will be less, so he gets a pass from Xu Tian.
George received the ball with three threats, tested Tony Parker's defensive state, and at the same time considered the next offensive option.
Tony Parker is the most scolded by Popovich in the GDP. All kinds of bad habits in his youth have been corrected. Today, he will not be fooled easily.
George is 206 centimeters tall, nearly 188 centimeters taller than Tony Parker, who is [-] centimeters tall.
Mid-range shot, mid!
6-4!
The defensive system created by Popovich is neither afraid of strong attacks from the inside, nor afraid of three-point attacks from the outside, but is afraid of unsolvable mid-range.Being hit seven inches by the Lakers one after another is really helpless.
Tony Parker dribbled the ball steadily to the frontcourt and gave the ball to LaMarcus Aldridge. This is their absolute strength, and it would be a waste not to use it.
LaMarcus Aldridge post up Josh Smith.This time, Kawhi Leonard chose to stand on the outside line to pull out the energetic Xu Tian tonight.
Josh Smith is good at supplementary defense, and his top defense ability is not top-notch. Facing LaMarcus Aldridge, who has solid offensive skills, he feels a lot of pressure.
LaMarcus Aldridge is proficient in two moves in back singles, a forward turn layup and a back turn jumper, but even if you know his two moves, it is difficult to limit him who is tall and long.
Josh Smith looked at LaMarcus Aldridge, who turned around and opened the distance, without any desire to continue defending, and watched helplessly as he was thrown.
6-6!
Xu Tian could tolerate not being able to defend, but he couldn't tolerate a bad attitude, so he called a timeout after receiving the serve.
Josh Smith has a fierce figure and appearance, but a relatively kind personality. Although he and Xu Tian can't become friends, they can listen to criticism.
Nance Jr. got the chance to play and was responsible for defending LaMarcus Aldridge.
Xu Tian served from the sideline and gave it to Kobe who was standing at the top of the arc.
Danny Green lowered the center of gravity, let Kobe take a step, strengthened the restriction on the breakthrough, and weakened the defensive threat to the shot.
Bryant isn't known for his [-]-pointers, but since the Spurs have space, there's no reason not to try one.
The basketball flew into the air, attracting the attention of all fans and players.
Xu Tian saw that the arc of the basketball didn't seem to be able to enter, and immediately activated the top of the arc, and went straight to the penalty area lined with tall people.
The basketball hits the board, rebounds and hits!
9-6!
Fans at AT&T Arena, remembering the fear of being dominated by Kobe, began booing unconsciously, trying to interfere with the player with killer instinct.
Kobe Bryant scored two goals in the opening game tonight, looking extremely excited, and vigorously high-fived Xu Tian who had retreated.
Xu Tian arc lowered his center of gravity. From the corner of his eye, he looked at Kawhi Leonard who was running without the ball, and his eyes were mainly on Tony Parker who was dribbling.As long as there is passing movement, there is an opportunity to complete the steal.
Popovich has carefully studied the Lakers game video and knew that many of Xu Tian's steals came from predicting the passing route, so he made Tony Parker more vigilant in advance.Therefore, there is no loophole that can be robbed.
LaMarcus Aldridge held Nance Jr. in the penalty area, stretched his right arm, and asked for the ball from Tony Parker on the outside.
Tony Parker slams a pass inside and continues to let LaMarcus Aldridge go on a single.
Nance Jr. has an attitude, and his defensive ability is indeed not strong enough. He tried his best to defend, but he still couldn't form effective interference.
The basketball hit the back frame and missed!
Duncan got the ball with his right hand, and with light force, dunked the ball into the net!
Xu Tian thought he was wrong at first, but only after hearing the deafening cheers from the fans at the scene did he realize that Duncan had indeed dunked just now.
