242. The blazing war
(Read the full text of the Reading House without pop-up windows)
Basketball games are not the same as real wars. This should be said to be a street fight, a five-on-five fight, so morale is very important. Both sides are like gangsters who do not have deadly weapons. Give me a few tricks, I kick you, and it goes on and on again and again.
After West hit this difficult layup, Billups also performed well.
The Spurs' offense and defense are always so smooth, as if the machine is running and flowing. Parker's breakthrough is very sharp, especially when his teammates cover and execute. Warriors players know that Parker's shortcomings are in long shots, and his breakthrough is very lethal. Last season's FMVP, Parker obtained it with his breakthrough.
Therefore, the Warriors cannot let him break through, because as long as they rush to the basket, no matter who they are, they can throw the goal - Evans' idiot is uncountable. In Thurmond's words, this bastard can throw the ball even if he lies on the ring, so it takes a lot of energy to defend Parker, and Billups needs to curb him from the outside.
But this is not easy, because Parker's breakthrough has won FMVP for him. Billups accidentally, Parker rushed into the three-second zone and attracted double-teams.
If you attract double-teams, you can pass the ball. Parker's breakthrough pass is very threatening. He will achieve the ultimate of "stable, accurate and ruthless" points and can often be assigned to the open space. Bowen received Parker's pass and shot a three-pointer in front of him without anyone at a distance of one meter in front, but the ball did not make it, which is a pity.
Evans was very good at grabbing rebounds. He suddenly hit Duncan's waist and made the latter lose his position. Then he jumped up and reached out to grab the rebound.
After grabbing the rebound, Billups hurriedly went up to receive the ball. Just when Evans got it, West quickly ran to the frontcourt. Billups passed the ball in the back and shouted loudly: "Ball!"
The Spurs players watched the ball fly towards their half, but they were helpless and gave up the ball accordingly, especially Parker. When he found that the ball was passed to West and West was in front of the basket, he knew that the attack was over.
Without letting down the expectations of the Spurs players, West adjusted his pace after rushing into the free throw area. His legs suddenly bulged like a rock and flew up like a spring. He started to jump from the free throw line, gliding like a big bird, and hitting hard.
The Spurs knew that they could not continue like this, and Chamberlain was still sitting on the bench. The Warriors are not playing with all their strength now. If they cannot gain an absolute advantage in this situation, then when Chamberlain, who has been resting, will some of them play, so Parker began to plan a counterattack.
Ginobili received the ball at the 45-degree angle of the three-point line on the right. West let go of Parker without the ball like a mad dog to defend. After Ginobili received the ball, he first made a shooting position, but West was unmoved and still stood firmly in front of Ginobili in a standard defensive posture.
Seeing this, Chamberlain laughed and shouted loudly: "Bald, you'd better break through. You can see that you're doing something fake!"
Ginobili ignored Chamberlain's teasing. He made a false move to break through quietly, but West was still unmoved and stared at him tightly.
"Damn it, why did this mad dog suddenly calm down? It shouldn't be. Watching his game video and previous performances, he should come up and oppress himself." Ginobili cursed in his heart. As the saying goes, if things are abnormal, there will be monsters. He couldn't help but be cautious. He patted the ball and walked back and forth a few times. He found that West was still looking at each other from afar and there was no flaw in his defense, so he decided to break through.
Ginobili first swung to the left, then suddenly rushed to the bottom line on the right, West pressed him on his body and pressed into the bottom line.
Although West is thin, he is actually a person with an explosives-pack. He is a mixed-race man with extremely excellent physical fitness and is thin, but his strength is much greater than Ginobili. When he bumps into this, Ginobili feels that his body is involuntarily going out to the sidelines.
He knew very well that if he continued like this, he would be squeezed out of bounds, so he immediately turned around. As a result, he turned around and felt a sudden light in his hand. Only then did he realize that he was not sure when Billups appeared behind him!
Ginobili finally understood why West was so stable just now. It turned out that this kid knew that Billups was helping with defense.
Billups stole the ball with one hand, and he rushed forward as if he was stepping on the Hot Wheels. The Spurs retreated quickly. Billups pushed all the way to the frontcourt. Facing Bowen's defense, his shoulders quickly shook left and right, and suddenly accelerated and broke through from Bowen's right.
After breaking through, Billups immediately changed hands, Duncan moved sideways, Billups skillfully quickly slapped the ball, and his strong and powerful body jumped left and right. Duncan was stunned for a moment. He accidentally passed by him, rushed into the penalty area and threw the ball.
Seeing the opponent's offensive, Parker pursed his lips. After he dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, he passed it to Ginobili. The Argentinian took the ball thrown by Parker and quickly brought the ball into the three-second zone. However, he did not take a blind move, but passed the ball to Duncan.
Duncan stood in the bullhorn area. After holding the ball, he leaned forward and showed his classic singles posture. At this time, Parker suddenly rushed out at the baseline. The Frenchman ran from behind Duncan to take the ball, and then suddenly broke from the direction he ran towards the baseline. West, who was defending Parker, was blocked by Duncan, whose skeleton was really wide.
West did not notice that Parker actually ran in the original direction again. By the time he discovered it, Parker had already opened his body. For people with Parker's speed, they could no longer catch up with him after leaving such a distance.
After throwing away West, Parker turned around leisurely and sent the ball steadily into the ring.
Both sides are full of confidence in this battle. After Parker made a layup, he made another mid-range shot. After scoring 4 points in a row, the Spurs expanded their lead. The Warriors didn't care. West and Harrington made a clever cooperation and teamed up to score 6 points to make a comeback. In the end, with two seconds left in the second quarter, Billups made a jump shot with 2 points and hit the buzzer. After this quarter, the two sides tied at 56.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Chamberlain, who had been resting on the bench for a long time, made a debut again. Seeing Chamberlain appearing on the court in high spirits, Duncan's face suddenly became unfair: He was the most annoying to people like Chamberlain, so he used them famous stars as springboards. At most, he could use five points to hit others, and when he hit them, he could use twelve points to hit them, which was very annoying.
The previous battle between his teammates made Chamberlain excited. As soon as he appeared on the court, he lurked in the inside. Parker rushed forward and made a layup. He flew out from inside and slapped the ball down. Not only did he block, but Chamberlain also grabbed the ball after blocking the ball. He picked up the ball to avoid Parker's unpredictable steal. He grabbed the ball with one hand as if holding a sword God, waved forward majestic and shouted: "Brothers, kill!"
"Kill!" the others yelled, and suddenly, the fans became turbulent because they knew that a bloody battle had begun again.
Chamberlain's blocking made the audience cheer endlessly. Billups protected the ball to the top of the three-point line. Seeing Chamberlain asking for the ball in the inside, he shook his wrist and hung the ball to the inside. Chamberlain tried the power behind him. Oberto looked sad and angry, and held Chamberlain tightly with a spirit of swearing to death, and Duncan was even more eyeing him.
Chamberlain tried a few times and felt that the power behind him was very strong, and Duncan was too close to him, so he gave up his plan to play singles because this was his first ball back and could not be thrown away easily, otherwise it would affect morale.
For this reason, he turned around and passed the ball to Billups, who was still hovering in the three-point line.
It was still Ginobili defending Billups. The latter looked at Ginobili, who was arching about a step ahead and made two fake moves in succession with the ball. He first made a move back to Chamberlain and then took a step forward to pretend to break through.
Ginobili turned a blind eye to these movements, and he stood still, staring at Billups calmly.
Bilups smiled slightly, suddenly spoke, and said, "Man, do you know what I'm best at before?"
Ginobili smiled and refused to respond. Billups shrugged and said, "Actually it is a breakthrough. I liked breakthrough the most when I was in college. I am a fool like you, in front of me, like a wooden stake, and have passed you and wooden stake..."
The breakthrough was just at that moment. Halfway through his voice, he accelerated his right foot and stepped out. Ginobili was waiting for this moment intently. When he saw the opponent start, he quickly retreated to his left, but Billups suddenly pulled the ball back, then dribbled the ball down, hung the ball to his left hand again and stabilized it.
"Exactly the same!" It was not until this time that Billups' last two words were spoken out, which shows how fast his breakthrough was!
When Ginobili had just stabilized slightly and had not yet fully stabilized, Billups exerted force again with his right foot, and accelerated violently, and immediately threw Ginobili, who was still at the center of gravity, behind him.
"I want to win!" Ye Shan said to herself in his heart.
Duncan had been waiting in the penalty area, and after Billups broke through, he threw away Chamberlain and focused on dealing with this former stalemate.
Billups still can't let go of the championship being snatched by the Spurs in 2005, so when he was about to pass the ball after the breakthrough, he saw that the person who was defending himself was replaced by Duncan, two flames suddenly popped up in his eyes. He stomped his feet on the floor and jumped up directly when he stomped his feet in the floor.
Duncan, who was calm and steady, had a hint of anger flashed in his heart. No guard had ever dared to make such a reckless layup in front of him. Except for the peak Iverson, whoever he was at the peak, even if God defended him, he would dare to break through and rise up. There was nothing he could do about it.
Billups jumped high, facing Duncan who was overwhelming, he gritted his teeth and twisted his body in the air to pull the distance between the two of them, and threw the ball out with a trembling wrist.
Duncan knew it was going to be bad when he saw Billups twisting, so he simply made a cruel decision and slapped him on Billups' arm and pushed him down from the air with the ball!
