Defending champion

Chapter 123
Even though Parker was the only one of the Spurs' three tanks on the field, the Hornets still couldn't end the second quarter with an overwhelming advantage.The Spurs' substitutes also played very tenaciously, tightly biting the score.The Hornets have not been able to discuss any cheap.

At the end of halftime, the Hornets and Spurs only tied at 50.

"Beep..." the long whistle sounded
After the halftime break, the contest between the two sides continued in the second half.

Duncan started the second half, completely unaffected by Jack's block just now.Duncan hit the pick-and-roll with Parker as soon as he came up.Duncan and Paul have a misalignment. Duncan is not restricted by Jack, and his mid-range shots are still very accurate.His mid-range shooting percentage is no worse than Jack's.

It seems that Duncan wants to avoid Jack's edge, and has no plans to confront Jack head-on.Duncan's strategic thinking is undoubtedly very correct.In the next attack, Duncan avoided Jack's defense and used Parker's assists to frequently hit mid-range shots.

On the offensive end, Duncan relied on his teammates to avoid Jack's defense, which is undoubtedly very smart.Duncan's cleverness is not only reflected in the offensive end, but on the defensive end, they frequently contain Jack.They would rather let Paul kill the restricted area frequently than let Jack and Paul force a connection.Popovich's move is indeed very high, it is really wonderful!

Without Jack's strong support, the Hornets made the same mistake as they did in the first quarter.The Hornets' offense was very sluggish, and the Spurs seized the opportunity to counterattack quickly.After a 12-0 spurt, the Spurs led the Hornets by 62 points 50-12.

In the first half of the third quarter, Jack didn't even touch the ball on the offensive end.The Spurs stared at Jack tightly, and Jack was also very anxious in his heart, but he still couldn't catch the ball.Jack also saw his own weakness clearly from it-the ability to take the initiative to attack with the ball is not strong.Jack vowed in his heart that he must upgrade as soon as possible.I want to become stronger, I want to become stronger.

The Spurs' defense really caused Jack a lot of trouble.However, is the Spurs really able to stop Jack with such a size?Then Popovich underestimated Jack too much, attacking with the ball, who said that Jack can't do it, isn't there a fadeaway shot?

Jack fought desperately with Duncan to seize a favorable position in the low position. Jack used his own tonnage to squeeze Duncan who was in front of him.The low post was successful, with his back to the basket.Paul also cooperated very well and lobbed the ball to Jack, who gave Duncan his hip and back to prevent Duncan from stealing the ball.

The audience at the scene saw that Jack succeeded in asking for the ball in the low post, and there was a lot of boos at the scene very consciously.

However, Jack had already developed an antibody to these things, and directly filtered out the boos like the turbulent waves hitting the shore.

…………

"Man, you see that the players of the Hornets also created opportunities for Michael Jack to play singles. Jack temporarily occupied a favorable position under the basket, and Jack successfully received the ball...Jack is about to single-play Duncan." Kenny Smith is very Said passionately.It can be seen that he is very much looking forward to the duel between Duncan and Jack.

"Man, what I want to ask is, isn't Jack a man of physical fitness? Can he also play post-up skills at the basket?" Charles Barkley raised his own doubts about Jack's low-post skills.

"Charles only allows you to have Barkley's "bulldozer" style of dismissal, and Jack is not allowed to have post-up skills at the basket?" Kenny Smith choked on Charles.

……

Not only that, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith questioned Jack's basket skills.There are also doubts about Popovich, but Popovich's view of Jack asking for the ball in the low post is not as superficial as Charles Barkley.

As a famous coach in the league and the winner of three championships (so far), he can often discern the opponent's offensive intentions and tactical coordination from some very subtle changes.

"Byron, what are you trying to play? The last time I was defeated by a surprise soldier like Jack was my negligence. I have been studying Jack's video for two months to win this game. Jack has no low position at all. Ability, do you still want to deceive me? As for his backward shot just now, it was purely deceived. This can’t be his ability, Byron, is this your tactic again?” Popovich Qi looked at the situation on the field and muttered to himself.

Not only was Popovich very confused, but even Jack's head coach Byron Scott felt very strange.Why did Jack get the ball in that position? Did he arrange this tactic?Does he want to singles Duncan?But does Jack have the ability to play singles?

Duncan also felt very confused. Duncan really couldn't figure out what Jack wanted to do.Singles?impossible.Judging from the analysis of the video, it is impossible for Jack to play back singles. He does not know how to play back singles. Byron Scott will never arrange such a tactic.Then the most likely thing is that Jack is only acting as a hub, and his main purpose is to support and cooperate with his teammates.

……

Amidst the voices of doubt in the audience, Jack made a move that shocked everyone. Jack used his skillful skills at the basket to break the doubters.Even now, Jack's fadeaway shot is only just level three, but if you don't take defense seriously.Hmph, hum...the ones who suffer are you!

Jack aimed at Tim Duncan out of the corner of his eye, and observed the situation on the field.The teammates had already pulled away for him, Jack had no reason not to hit him, arched his buttocks, and slammed into it while sitting inside.It seems that Jack's purpose is to use his strength to force Duncan.

Duncan saw that since Jack was so arrogant, he dared to underestimate himself so much.Thinking of the moment when he blocked him just now, he was so angry that he spat a trash talk at Jack, "Don't underestimate people, boy!" Pry up.

Jack smiled treacherously, seeing that the goal had been achieved, suddenly, with the left foot as the axis, the body rotated counterclockwise, and the shooting space appeared.However, Duncan's height and arm length still have a certain influence on Jack.

Knees up and jumps, ready to shoot.

Duncan found out that Jack wanted to shoot, and quickly forced him to block the shot. Duncan had personally experienced Jack's shooting.Given such a large space for him to shoot, it is definitely a must.Duncan tried his best to seal the ball.However, that was still no threat to Jack.

Jack jumped very high, and he completed the dunk with the bounce of the dunk.Moreover, what's even more frightening is that Jack's ability to stay in the air is also superb. Jack also has a backward gliding movement in the air, which is very elegant and chic!
Jack's ape arm shook slightly, and the basketball rolled out from between Jack's arms, and the basketball arched a very beautiful rainbow high in the air.

The "shabu" basket was very excited and aroused a large white spray.

After Jack finished casting, his buttocks fell heavily to the ground due to the backward inertia of his body.However, Jack was unaware of this.Lying halfway on the board, his eyes were always watching the basketball he threw, and the moment he saw the basketball pass through the net.

Jack couldn't bear the excitement in his heart, so he uttered an American foul language.Staring at the camera on the sidelines, with a ferocious face, he gritted his teeth and showed his biceps at the same time.The fadeaway shot is like a fake one, the NBA's long-lost technique, the NBA's top martial arts.

"How is it possible that he will do this?" Charles Barkley expressed his doubts.

"What kind of backward shot is that? If it weren't for the different jerseys, I would have thought it was Jordan?" Kenny Smith gave such a high evaluation of Jack's move.

For this move, Duncan standing next to him felt the most deeply. Duncan couldn't help but stared blankly, thinking: Is there such a technique in the world? "

"Impossible, what about their low post back technique?"

"Jack, how many more surprises do you want to give me?"
