You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 778 Scores have no distinction (1663)

Leonard's performance tonight surprised the Spurs.

Finally, he had the courage to play the three-pointer that he learned from Jordan and Kobe's game videos in front of anyone, and play the self-taught step-back mid-range shot; he dared to play the chasing three-pointer that irritated Popovich like Green and Ginobili.

This is what the big stage is about.

When you stand on the highest stage in the world and perform well, there will naturally be a kind of confidence blessing, as if nothing can stop you.

Leonard has never been afraid to face anyone. When the team gave him freedom, he suddenly played more recklessly than anyone else. In the second quarter, there were several rounds in a row. He dared to push his nose to the face with Wei Xia. The tip of the nose to the tip of the nose at both ends of the offense and defense. In today's league, there are only Kobe, James, Durant, Anthony and so on before the injury.

The problem of the 76ers' offensive efficiency decline has not been solved.

After Wei Xia completed the empty catch in the first quarter, he didn't find the feeling in two shots in the second quarter.

At times, it seemed like he wasn't racing the Spurs, but the pressure on him.

Interference from off the court keeps him from concentrating on the game, and these effects are intuitively reflected in his shooting.

The offense is not played well, but the defense is not affected.

He cooperated with his teammates and blocked the Spurs' passes many times.

There are two things that the Spurs are most afraid of. One is to let the opponent speed up, which will kill the veterans in the team; the other is to fall into a situation of a lot of singles.

Why did they play seven games with the Mavericks in the first round of the Western Conference?Because the Mavericks not only successfully increased the speed, but also used the tactical arrangement of holding the ball to force the Spurs to perform a large number of defense changes and singled out.

When the tactics cannot be opened, heads-up is the only solution.

It was in that situation that the Spurs and Mavericks played the full seven games.

However, the Mavericks are also an old team, so in the seventh game, the Spurs shooter exploded, and they were willing to gamble and admit defeat, although the defeat was glorious.

Tonight, the 76ers' offense started brilliantly. Wei Xia still had no shooting touch after resting for most of the quarter. The tough defense forced the Spurs to pass the ball to Leonard.

Leonard's way of receiving the ball is interesting. He originally asked for a position at the basket, but found that his strength could not resist Wei Xia. He simply used this behavior as an offensive tendency to make Wei Xia mistakenly think that he really wanted to catch the ball at the basket.

Suddenly, he used Wei Xia's body as a fulcrum to turn around and get out of the paint.

The teammate's ball flew.

Leonard caught the ball and delivered a triple threat with clean feet.His three threats are not so deterrent, because his combination of sudden shots is not good, and Wei Xia doesn't take his three threats seriously at all.

He didn't expect that Leonard's three threats swayed slightly, as if he didn't intend to sway people, but simply used this move to find a rhythm.

After shaking it, he shot from the open hand.

Weixia's defense is already in place, but the goal is still scored.

37 is better than 42
The Spurs caught up to 5 points, Leonard didn't say a word, maybe he didn't even know that it was such a great thing to score such a goal on Wei Xia's head.

Being scored by Leonard like this ignited Wei Xia's fighting spirit.

His switch was flipped by his opponent.

He has to respond, this is the arrogance in his bones, and it is also a bad habit that Kobe taught him.

So when it comes to the 76ers' offensive round, Wei Xia runs and catches the ball. His three-threat is far more powerful than Leonard.

The hand feeling that had been frozen for a long time finally showed signs of warming up.

"Shh!"

44 is better than 37
Before it was over, Wei Xia responded to Leonard's next round and quickly retreated to the penalty area to help defend and block Parker's breakthrough layup.

It's just that the 76ers didn't fight well in their counterattack.

Odom's old problem was committed, the classic three-on-one fast break passed out of bounds and hit the audience.

He smiled sheepishly, hoping the audience would forgive him.

Seeing that he had fewer attacks this year, the audience gave him more applause and encouragement.

The chain reaction of Wei Xia's seriousness has raised the 76ers' defensive strength by several notches.

The Spurs began to feel as bad as the 76ers. Relatively, their situation was even more difficult.Because they are the chasing side, if they can't find the touch as soon as possible, the game will be more difficult to play.

To alleviate the problem, Popovich called Duncan off the bench.

No matter what the situation, as long as something doesn't work, it's Popovich's habit to call Duncan.

The Spurs generals are used to relying on him.

But before the dead ball comes, they still have to stabilize the situation.

Wonderful transfer, from the top of the key to the bottom corner, Parker breaks through and then makes a beautiful move to the left corner, which is completely empty, and Danny Green hits a three-pointer.

"boom!"

He still doesn't shoot, like the rest of the Spurs.

The long rebound was caught by Wei Xia, and Leonard wanted to foul. Before he made a move, Wei Xia sideways avoided his first foul, and even threw the ball far from the backcourt with a back pass to Andre Robertson in front.

"Magic Move!"

Robertson received the ball in the frontcourt and dunked directly.

The back pass across the court also avoided Leonard's foul.

46 is better than 37
The point difference went back to 9 points, and Leonard found that this terrible opponent was finally about to wake up.Is this a good thing for them?
Facing such a powerful enemy, who can be happy?
At this time, Danny Green on the right tried another three-pointer.

He still missed his fifth goal tonight!

Wei Xia's prediction of long rebounds was obviously higher than that of other people on the court, and he caught the rebound again.

Although Leonard didn't know where the long rebound would fall, he insisted that as long as he kept up with Wei Xia, everything would be fine.

All he was right behind Wei Xia, no longer giving him opportunities to show off his skills, tactical fouls, blocking fast breaks, and letting Duncan play.

It was only Leonard's second foul of the night.

Compared with the previous game, his fouls were well controlled in this game.

Returning to the game with Duncan are Ginobili and Diaw.

The Spurs want to transfer the ball and fulcrum more aggressively. On the other hand, the 76ers also switched back to the main lineup.

The two sides have switched horses and players, and both have already pushed out their cards.

Sure enough, Duncan was reused as soon as he came up.

He plays in the low post and his teammates pass the ball.

From the first game of the series to this one, the 76ers have not let Duncan go.

The 38-year-old veteran can ask for anything from them as long as he is physically fit.

I saw him push hard, making Cousins ​​mistakenly think that he was going in, and suddenly turned around to face the basket and made a backward jumper, and the ball scored.

39 is better than 46
The 76ers attacked for a long time, and it was the result of breaking through and almost hitting Duncan's arms.

After dawdling for a long time, they decided to throw the blame on Wei Xia.

Wei Xia took the bomb ball, but he doesn't feel good now, he casts hard and hits the iron.

The Spurs played steadily, not in a hurry, and slowly landed.

Just now Duncan was on the left side. This time, he switched to the right side. In order to confuse the 76ers, the Spurs also deliberately launched tactics from the left side. The result turned out to be a transfer of the ball from the left side to the right side.

They were too deliberate, Wei Xia could see clearly.

As soon as Duncan started playing back, his double team arrived.

When Leonard was in Duncan's sight, he thought of passing the ball. This idea cannot be concealed by his dull face that has been in his entire career.

Wei Xia knew what Duncan was going to do, and even expected his timing, so he started to shoot the ball.

The ball was hit to the ground, and Duncan used his long arm to save the ball, but time was running out, so he could only use his height to force the shot.

Of course, this kind of ball is impossible to score.

Leonard also did not stand still and wait stupidly. He did the most risky and rewarding thing-touching the penalty area to grab rebounds.

He picked the right position, just enough to allow his hands to touch the backboard, and he made up the first time.

41 is better than 46
Two robots with little expression on their faces dominated the game.

Cousins ​​wants to learn from Duncan to rule the inside, but he doesn't know as well as Duncan that the closer to the basket, the better the confidence.

He's keen to show off his skills, so he does a fantasy dance move with an oversized hook.

Not in.

The Spurs continue to control the rhythm and continue to do the most basic and simple things.

Give the ball to Duncan.

They've been doing this for 17 years.

No one on the team is unfamiliar with this.

Even if Duncan didn't hit the ball well last time, it wouldn't hurt his teammates' trust in him.

The foundation established in 17 is so solid and solid.

On the last ball, Duncan played a turn and lean back. On this ball, he told Cousins ​​what he was going to do from his position.Cousins ​​is still waiting like an idiot for the opponent to make a move.

In fact, from Duncan's offensive position, we can see where his offense will start.

Suddenly, Duncan moved, his body was divided into two sides, the left side took the elbow as the core, carried Cousins, and the right side dribbled the ball, once, twice, after stepping into the paint area, he collected the ball and combined the ball.

Hit the board!
43 is better than 46
"Tim Duncan seems to never age!"

"Facing the best center in the league, TD's offense is still unstoppable!"

"As long as the Spurs need him, he can stand up and take over the game! TD is a real superstar!"

In this case, the commentator has nothing to analyze, just blow it.

The 38-year-old man repeatedly hit a center forward, repeating the back and forth between the old Chamberlain and the peak Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The 40-year-old Abdul-Jabbar PK Olajuwon is weak but still able to fight. Now the 38-year-old Duncan is fighting the 24-year-old Cousins ​​in the final.

Another ball!
Duncan's outburst seemed to carry some kind of spell, and Cousins ​​didn't want to respond. He wanted to cover Wei Xia, and then he was called an illegal cover.

He defended himself, Wei Xia pulled him away.

"Now, the Spurs have a chance to tie the score."

Duncan continued to ask for a position, and the Spurs' shooters were wide open.But Cousins' resistance was just as fierce. He never let Duncan get the ball easily, and they kept fighting for that offensive position.

Parker couldn't make sure Duncan got the ball, so he called him up for the pick-and-roll.

Duncan doesn't mind at all whether he is attacking with the ball or running out of the pick-and-roll to eat cakes and score. As long as it is scoring, is it still divided into independent scoring and others creating scoring?
Scores are not high or low!
Anything that can be eaten in the mouth is a good score!
Duncan's inside cut was too fast, and the more Cousins ​​tried to defend him, the easier it was to make mistakes. Parker lobbed Duncan.Duncan raised his long arm to catch it, Cousins ​​defended frontally, and violated the opponent's cylinder with his hands. At the moment the whistle sounded, Shi Buddha raised his hand to shoot.

The goal was scored, the score counted, and Cousins ​​was hit with an And one!
