Chapter 72 The Spurs at home again, the perfect revenge (4)

The middle of the third quarter.

Aldridge's low-post misplaced singles played Butler, at a critical moment for the team to chase points.

Under Butler's tough defense, Adelaide's turnaround and mid-range shot, which is popular all over the world, is no longer miraculous.

Strike the iron again!

The rebound was protected by Jokic.

At this moment, the Spurs are almost desperate!
The rim at the Staples Center is going to be knocked crooked by the Spurs today!
Jokic, who protected the rebound, quickly found Zheng Long who had already started, and Zheng Long single-handedly promoted the fast break.

Ginobili stood in front of Zheng Long.

Without any hesitation, Zheng Long lowered his center of gravity in an instant, and disguised himself in front of his body. The magnitude was astonishing!

Just pass by the demon knife!

It's over!
At the same time, Ginobili fell backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

It was as if Zheng Long hit him directly just now.

But I didn't even touch Ginobili's jersey at all!

Beep----

The referee blows the whistle!
Offensive foul!

Ginobili sat on the ground shaking his head and touched his arm.

This posture made Zheng Long smile helplessly.

Demon knife, demon knife.

You are still so good at acting!
There are two major movie stars in the NBA.

The first is the Brazilian actor "Varejao", who once flopped and played the old teammate James in the game between the Warriors and the Cavaliers. James was so angry that he complained about it in an interview after the game.

The second best actor is Ginobili the Demon Sword.

The NBA is full of players with outstanding physical talents, but there are relatively few NBA players who can be evaluated as "smart".

Ginobili is one of them.

Manu Ginobili is definitely the most foul-making player in basketball history.

He has quick response, good coordination, excellent core strength, and strong decision-making ability on the spot.

These conditions are coupled with his "badness" and his extreme use of basketball rules.

Prompted him to embark on this "crooked road".

"Through the replay on the big screen, we can see this ball. Zheng Long doesn't seem to have any movement in his hand."

"However, when Ginobili fell, the position of the two body contact formed a blind spot of vision."

"Any referee who whistles this time should blow the whistle."

"You have to say something."

"Yao Dao is too smart to defend against it! Anyway, this ball can't be defended, so why not give it a try."

"guess what?"

"It really made him defend in such a special way."

[Here it comes, the demon knife fell again. 】

[Hahahahaha, look at Zheng Long's expression, he is numb. 】

[It can be blown or not, it’s just an offensive foul, compared to making free throws, it’s completely within my acceptable range. 】

Bearded:?

Ginobili did not expect that before his teammates came to pull him up, Zheng Long took the initiative to come to his side and extended his hand.

Zheng Long's behavior surprised Ginobili.

Change to the past.

Players who are fouled by themselves often don't have a good face.

"It's you, Ginobili. If it were another player, the next offensive round would definitely eat my elbow!"

Zheng Long pretended to say viciously.

Ginobili also responded humorously: "Maybe before your elbow touches me, I have already dodged again."

this kid.

Although the words and actions are too crazy, annoying.

But it doesn't seem so bad?
The friendly interaction between the two on the court.

It's beyond everyone's expectations.

The fans are also happy to see the fierce confrontation on the court, but it does not mean that they are not happy to see such a friendly picture between the players of both sides.

although.

Manu Ginobili's ball is on stage again!

Popovich called a timeout.

Ginobili defended against the Lakers' counterattack this time.

But halfway through the third quarter, the Lakers are still 67 to 57 Spurs, holding a 10-point lead.

The team has to make adjustments again.

Parker asked Ginobili curiously: "What are you talking about with that bald man?"

Ginobili said: "Let's talk about your 11 out of 2 in this game."

Parker: .
If we talk about this, the two of us won't be able to talk anymore.

Popovich appeared behind the two at some point, with a faint voice and a sad tone.

"What are you talking about, so happy, why don't we talk about how to catch up with the double-digit point difference."

Parker wanted to hide from Popovich's question, but Ginobili was helpless.

We are both too old to retire.

Bobo.

You go to Leonard.

Leonard?
Kawhi was sitting in a daze on the player's seat at this time.

Deeply frustrated.

Compared with the first half, Kawhi in the third quarter has already started his full power mode.

But a fact that Kawaii is unwilling to admit is that Zheng Long seems to be more difficult to guard than the Heat Zhan? !

Although James is slightly better in terms of strength and impact, Zheng Long is more like a hexagonal fighter.

Can shoot, rush, dunk, dribble, pass and defend!
Every time he kept changing the way of attacking, showing off his own attacking methods.

When you think you've blocked his drive, he can shoot directly against you.

When you give him room to take any shot.

He'd put the basketball in the hoop in an instant.

In the impression of kawaii.

I have never encountered such a difficult attacker!
Mr. Bobo was also at the end of the timeout, and he said helplessly: "That's it, give it another try, and forget it if you can't catch up."

extremely rare.

The Spurs heard "give up" in Popovich's mouth.

Because Popovich has no better way to limit Zheng Long.

At least for now, Popovich can't think of it.

When the players returned to the court, Popovich stared at Zheng Long's back, thinking again of that No. 23 in Chicago.

If this kid can maintain this state and strength.

This west.

It's really not easy to mix.

Reminiscent of Zheng Long's first NBA season this year, Popovich has a headache.

Forget about resigning.

Wouldn't it be nice for that kid like TD to go and do something he likes?
The home fans were all smiling and laughing.

This battle of vengeance today.

Very promising!
It's a pity that things backfired, and the development of the next situation did not develop according to the expectations of the fans.

Maybe it was Popovich's last sigh that irritated the Spurs players.

Although the Spurs did not respond to Popo on the bench, the cold shooting touch gradually began to recover.

In the second half of the third quarter, without making targeted defensive strategy changes, the Spurs actually began to slowly chase points!

"Danny Green catches the ball from the wing and hits a three-pointer! The crucial three-pointer helped the Spurs recover the point difference to single digits!"

"A long two-pointer from Tony Parker! Oladipo is out of position, leaving Parker wide open!"

"Leonard holds the ball in the frontcourt, singles Butler, dribbles through fake moves, pulls back and steps back and makes a three-pointer!"

"This ball!"

"There is!!!"

The Spurs' outside shooting began to pick up, and apart from Zheng Long on the Lakers' side, Walton's physical problems that were worried about finally began to appear.

Several consecutive out-of-position defenses and mistakes fueled the Spurs' wave of chasing points.

Looking around at the Spurs' seats, the sense of despair is gone. Instead, the Lakers fans who were still smiling at the beginning couldn't laugh anymore.

Walton glanced at the scoreboard with some unease.

The rest of the third quarter, 2 minutes, the Lakers 77:73 Spurs.

Only four points left.

Chief assistant Brian Shaw couldn't help reminding Wharton from the side, saying, "Shouldn't you call a timeout?"

Wharton did not answer Brian Shaw, but looked at Zheng Long who organized the offense with the ball on the court.

Trust Zheng Long.

That's what Wharton was thinking at the moment.

The current situation where the Lakers are losing points is because the overall lack of physical strength of the players caused the collapse of the defense line.

Pausing doesn't solve the problem at all!

But attack can!

As long as it is on the offensive end, it can maintain firepower, or even increase firepower.

Against the Spurs!
It will be able to stabilize the situation.

On the court, Zheng Long has already brought the ball to the front court. In this game, Zheng Long's current data is 17 of 12 shots, 29 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds, plus 2 steals and 2 blocks.

Such efficient and gorgeous data is only the performance of the first three quarters.

But Wharton knew that this hadn't reached Zheng Long's limit at all.

This kid has staged a miracle of 39 points in a single quarter!

40+ 50+ in a single game is like cutting melons and vegetables!
And just as Wharton thought, the home fans were also cheering for Zheng Long!
"Stand up, Dragon!"

"Come on, Zheng Long!"

"Resist the pressure! You can do it!"

Although Zheng Long's recent games, due to the dilution of the team's possession of the ball and the more hard work on the defensive end, the offensive end seems to have lost the terror of the beginning of the season.

But fans will always have expectations for Zheng Long!

On the Spurs side, after Zheng Long held the ball for halftime, he decisively double-teamed under the command of Mr. Popo!
The other players of the Lakers are obviously unable to stand up at this time.

Their only reliance is Zheng Long.

Chose Zheng Long to death.

In today's game, I really have a chance to turn it over.

Zheng Long also knew that it was time for him to stand up!

Facing Kawaii and Danny Green who came to form a siege.

Zheng Long immediately passed the ball to Butler who was in the open position.

This time the pass was too risky and too precise!

It was a high parabolic pass that flew over the heads of Kawhi and Danny Green.

This time the choice of pass was beyond everyone's expectations.

Fortunately.

Butler took off and took the ball in his arms with both hands.

He was not in a hurry to make a shot, because Adelaide had already made an emergency defense and came to Butler, and inside, Pau Gasol was also toughly guarding the basket.

then.

Zheng Long rushed out of Kawaii and Danny Green without the ball, leaving the two behind, and came to the top of the arc beyond the three-point line.

this location!

Butler tacitly passed back to Zheng Long!
Zheng Long's catch again shocked the Spurs players!
Unexpectedly, Zheng Long chose to pass the ball with Butler so tacitly this time.

It directly broke the Spurs' double-teaming of Zheng Long.

When Zheng Long was on the three-point line, the players guarding the inside of the Spurs fell into hesitation at this moment.

Should he go forward to defend against the third, or wait for Zheng Long to rush in by himself? !

But Pau Gasol did not have too much time to hesitate.

Because Zheng Long chose to shoot directly outside the three-point line, this shot!
in!

Lakers 80:73 Spurs!

"The key three-pointer!"

"Three points to stop the bleeding!"

"This is Zheng Long's second three-point shot in this game!"

"Although Zheng Long didn't take many three-pointers this season, he has always maintained a shooting rate of 40.00%!"

"He seems to have a soft spot for two-pointers, and he often shoots two-pointers from the three-point line."

This three-pointer made Popovich clenched his fist again.

Originally, the team's state was too bad today, and the Lakers' state was too good, so I was going to be bad.

As a result, the players suddenly chased him like they were on drugs.

Seeing hope.

Zheng Long burst out again, still using his unconventional weapon three-pointer.

How irritating!

this kid!
The third quarter of the game has entered the countdown. Although the Spurs players had a headache for Zheng Long's three-pointer, they did not waste time and rhythm. Parker quickly rushed to the frontcourt of the Lakers after receiving the ball.

At this time, Oladipo had no energy to intercept Parker halfway, so he obediently stayed in the backcourt and waited for Parker to come over.

At the beginning of the game, Oladipo's youth and vitality gave him an advantage when defending Parker.

But by this time, old Parker's rich experience and stable mentality made the balance between the matchups have begun to tilt.

Parker made a gesture, first pretending to break through and dribble, to disrupt Oladipo's rhythm.

Then, Pau Gasol rushed to the top of the arc to cover for Parker.

Oladipo failed to get around the screen in the first place.

Parker's vacancy is a mobile opportunity!
Audi looked desperately at Parker who was about to make a move.

What about Jokic?

Jokic was blocked by Aldridge on the way to follow Pau Gasol.

This ball!
Parker took off, ready to shoot!
Air!

A black shadow came out!
Zheng Long!

Reject the big hat!

The cap was too clean, and after jumping abruptly, it squeezed away Pau Gasol who helped Parker pick and roll.

But also crazy!

It was a block defense like a hungry tiger rushing for food. After colliding with Gasol, Zheng Long lost his balance in the air!

However, Zheng Long still bumped into the basketball in Parker's hand before his body fell down.

Snapped! ! !
Parker also lost his balance in the air, and the basketball in his hand was also knocked down!

There was a big question mark in the head of the fallen Parker.

I grass!

Is this kid crazy? !

Zheng Long also fell forward from the air, and he was about to collide head-on with Parker.

Pau Gasol grabbed Zheng Long's jersey from behind in time.

Fortunately, the jersey Zheng Long wore this time was of good quality.

The tragedy of Paul tearing the jersey did not happen last time, otherwise, the old Parker would be thrown from the air by Zheng Long's strong physique
despite this.

Parker, who lost his balance to the end after the jump, also felt a backache.

The referee blew the whistle.

Zheng Long's back foul!
The game was suspended.

Pau Gasol straightened Zheng Long and said, "You kid, why are you as desperate as Kobe? How can you work so hard?"

In fact, Zheng Long's collision just now, although it was indeed a back foul, basically hit Pau Gasol's arm, so it's okay.

The fans at the scene watched the replay of this thrilling scene on the big screen, and they were amazed from time to time.

The players on both sides have complicated expressions.

This definitely qualifies as a dangerous back foul!
But it is definitely a crazy defensive performance!

Even Xu Jingyu in the live broadcast room opened his mouth, not knowing how to evaluate Zheng Longdi's defense this time.

You say okay, but it's a bit too much.

But you can't tell, he completed a key chasing block.

If you want to find a word to describe it-"don't die" may be the most appropriate.

At this time, Zheng Long stood where he was.

His expression was a little grim.

The eyes showed a fierce light.

I was also immersed in the extreme desire to win that burst out at that moment just now.

to win.

regardless of costs!
