Chapter 73 The Spurs at home again, the perfect revenge (5)

"Zheng Long's posture is undoubtedly telling the Spurs that if you want to win today's ball, you must step on my dead body!"

Counting Zheng Long's foul this time, the cumulative number of fouls by the Lakers is exactly four times, not the fifth time.

Therefore, the Spurs cannot make free throws and can only serve from the sideline.

A foul!
Block the next three-point shot!
Zheng Long seems to have lost his mind, but his heart is like a mirror, and he can figure it out very clearly.

During the serving round, the Spurs players looked at Zheng Long with lingering fear.

On the court, you are not afraid of being accurate, but you are afraid of dying!
He can do it once.

Can you guarantee that he will not dare to come a second time?
The Spurs' balls were not so easy to serve. The Lakers players saw that the boss was so desperate, one-on-one, and stuck to the Spurs players who wanted to catch the ball.

After a long time of ink staining, the ball was finally released.

unknown.

Look at this posture.

Do you think the Spurs are going to vote for a lore at the last moment!
Kawhi received Pau Gasol's sideline serve hand-in-hand, and Kawhi, with the ball in hand, immediately became the target of the Lakers' hunting.

And the top hunter they sent was Zheng Long!

Zheng Long came out, lowered his center of gravity, his arms were slanted, his eyes were fierce, and he blocked Kawaii.

This kind of duel in momentum.

As long as Kawaii dares to bow his head, dare to dodge, and be cowardly, he has no possibility of passing Zheng Long with this ball.

But Kawhi is also a man who has won FMVP in the finals after all.

Psychologically extremely powerful.

He took the initiative to meet Zheng Long's eyes.

Dribble forward.

Zheng Long was not in a hurry, and retreated, controlling the distance between the two.

Then Kawaii chose to dribble sideways, with his back to Zheng Long. At the same time, Tielin ran to the free throw line and made a screen for Kawaii.

This cover delayed Zheng Long's lateral movement.

At the same time, Kawaii seized this opportunity to turn around, disguised himself, and stepped towards the other side of Tielin's pick-and-roll to accelerate!
This is exactly the moment when Zheng Long's center of gravity will move back, and he is going to break through in the direction of his anti-center of gravity!
but!

Like a ghost again, Zheng Long quickly adjusted and blocked Kawaii's inward breakthrough!

How could he move so fast!
For a moment, Kawaii wondered if Zheng Long was still a human being. Did he have no focus?

But Parker didn't expect Kawhi to really break through Zheng Long, he ran from the other side of the three-point line to the top of the arc.

And Kawaii had no choice but to give up his offense, and after taking the initiative to cover with Oladipo, he turned his back to Zheng Long, and passed the ball to Parker outside the three-point line.

Kawaii's block just happened to block Oladipo who followed Parker.

but.

Zheng Long squeezed to the front directly from Kawaii's cover, and completed the defense switch with Oladipo in an instant!

This ball!
The time for the offensive round is coming, and Parker can only bite the bullet and get the ball inside.

At least, draw a foul? !

dream!

The moment Parker held the ball to break through and accelerate, the ball in his hand was suddenly shot by Zheng Long and broke!

Oladipo saw the ball coming.

I am familiar with this job!

After all, Zheng Long is the "professional picker" after stealing the ball!Pick up the ball before Kawhi and push the counterattack towards the single player in the frontcourt.

And Kawaii desperately accelerated with Oladipo.

Amidst the shouts of the home fans, Oladipo and Kawhi had a "race".

"Another steal from Zheng Long!"

"The Spurs' attack was destroyed by Zheng Long again!"

"This ball!"

"Oladipo successfully got rid of Kawhi and scored a layup!"

"Lakers 82: 73 Spurs!"

"Leading by nine points!"

"The Spurs failed to score in two consecutive offensive rounds!"

The countdown to the third quarter is 1 minute and 20 seconds!
Another offensive round for the Spurs!
Parker frowned and returned to the backcourt to receive the serve, a block and a steal.

No one can stand it.

Same scenario. Oladipo was waiting for Parker in the frontcourt. This time Parker came to the right perimeter and made a gesture.

And Tielin stepped on the right three-point line at a 45-degree position, Kawhi was positioned on the left flank, Aldridge stood at the top of the arc, and Pau Gasol stood at the low position on the right.

This position and posture are obviously the Spurs' crossing tactics.

The Spurs desperately needed a goal to stop the bleeding.

And a complete tactic can create opportunities for them!
After Parker passed the ball to Tielin, he rushed into the three-point line without the ball, and Tielin gave the ball to Aldridge who was holding the ball at the top of the arc.

At the same time, Parker has come to the left flank, Kawhi has also rushed into the restricted area from the left flank, and Pau Gasol has come to the left low post.

After Adelaide gave the ball to Parker on the left flank, he rushed into the penalty area and made a screen for Kawhi at the same time, and Kawhi returned to the top of the arc.

Now Parker, who holds the ball on the left wing, has two options.

The first option is to give the ball to Paul Gasol in the low post on the left and let him single-play Jokic.

Because there has been a strong-weak side transition on the court at this time, only Oladipo on the left can help Jokic help defend, but as long as he dares to help defend, Parker will get an open three-pointer.

The second option is to give Kawhi at the top of the arc. The prerequisite for this is to get into the inside and Adelaide can block Butler when he is covering, and give Kawhi a chance to shoot from the outside.

But when Parker got the ball, he had already seen Butler pass Aldridge and come to Kawhi!
Ade is not stuck!

Parker can only choose to pass the ball to Pau Gasol, hoping that Jiasao can succeed in singles Jokic at this critical moment.

Is Mrs. Jia tough?
The answer to this question is complex.

Early in his career, Pau Gasol left fans with a soft impression.

When he first entered the Grizzlies, Gasol, as a European center, was more inclined to delicate passing and mid-range shots, rather than the basket confrontation of traditional NBA centers.

On the defensive end, Gasol is not tough enough. Against the more tough playoffs, the data has shrunk significantly.

Especially after the Lakers were eliminated by the Green Army 07-08 in the Finals in the 4-2 season.

The voice of "soft egg" reached a climax.

Fortunately, Jiasao and Kobe won two consecutive championships together.

But still failed to completely get rid of the title of "soft egg".

His style of play is destined to be only a representative of "soft" in the eyes of fans who like confrontation.

The tough center in the eyes of the fans is the shark's kind of striker who eats raw at the basket and dunks in place.

Pau Gasol caught a pass from Parker and turned his back on Jokic.

The offensive responsibility of the Spurs this round fell on Jia Sao.

In this game, Jokic defended Paul Gasol very well!
Also a European center, Jokic's performance on the defensive end is usually barely passable.

But today the defense of all members broke out, which also infected Jokic, and he tried his best.

No matter how rich Gasol's experience is, he is indeed old. Compared with a young man like Jokic, he can't bear it!

Jiasao: Before I came here, I heard that the Spurs are very suitable for the elderly, and no one told me to work so hard!
This is a duel of European centers!

Jokic carefully pressed Gasol's waist, Pau Gasol leaned back, Jokic pushed hard to prevent Pau Gasol from getting close to the basket.

The effect of being fat all over the body is revealed.

Gasol only felt that he was on top of a ball of cotton, limp and weak.

However, Jokic passively stood up and defended, which gave Gasol the rhythm of the shot.

suddenly.

Gasol turned around with the ball in both hands, his feet moved directly, and he turned around and made a mid-range shot!
The shooting arc is very high!
And Jokic didn't expect that Gasol would give up playing with his back so suddenly, and just come to such a move!
At this time, raising his hands high has lost the best opportunity to interfere, and he can only watch the basketball fly past his head.

don't go in!don't go in!don't go in!

I can't guard against it, I can only pray that Gasol feels bad himself!

Unfortunately, after the basketball hit the backboard, it fell into the basket!
Lakers 82:75 Spurs!

At the critical moment, the Spurs withstood the pressure, no, it was Gasol who withstood the pressure!

The Lakers, who hoped to expand the score, were still biting the score.

"Little fat man, can you be tougher!?"

"He dares to beat you, but you dare not stand up to him?"

"Waiting for him to make a shot, isn't this an opportunity?"

Jokic, who failed to defend the ball, did not expect Zheng Long to suddenly fire at himself.

In Jokic's impression, Zheng Long always treats himself kindly.

However, sorry!

Jokic didn't say anything, but he was angry in his heart, and he came to the bottom line in silence and prepared to serve.

Zheng Long didn't say any more, his expression was very serious.

The Lakers players next to each other also looked at each other, a little surprised, did Zheng Long eat gunpowder today?

Everyone can see Jokic's hard work today.

You can't blame Jokic for this ball.

In the offensive round of the Lakers, Zheng Long, who came to the frontcourt with the ball, directly threw the ball into the hands of Jokic, who was in the low post.

"You idiot, do you dare to give him back one?"

Jokic got the ball, gritted his teeth and glared at Zheng Long. Pau Gasol was stunned for a moment.

what's going on?
Why is it so difficult for us European centers to be called jerks wherever we go?

Jokic is full of anger now!
This anger needs to be vented!

Hold the ball and praise your luck, boast your back!

slap. slap. slap

Don't care about him, just turn around, flick your elbow, shoot, shoot!
Gasol didn't expect that the little fat man, who had no confrontation in the audience, would suddenly be so fierce. He was pushed back and lost his position, which also gave Jokic room to make a shot.

This ball!
in!

Lakers 84:75 Spurs!

After the goal, Jokic clenched his fists to celebrate, and glared at Zheng Long again!
Unexpectedly, when returning to defense, Zheng Long took the initiative to provoke Jokic again.

"I don't think you are a softie if you pay back one, right? Although you scored one, if you let Gasol score another one, you are still defenseless!"

Jokic wanted to say, you are the softie, and your whole family is softie!

But no chance!
The Spurs had already brought the ball over, and Jokic hurried to defend Gasol in the low post.

With Gasol's goal just now, the Spurs really continued to create singles opportunities for Gasol after the basketball was running.

Gasol's ball handling puts pressure on Jokic.

Because if it is really like what Zheng Long said just now, he will be scored again by Gasol.

I am afraid.
Zheng Long will chase him and call him a softie for the whole game!
Gasol held the ball with both hands and leaned against Jokic. This time, he felt a different defensive pressure.

What's going on with the little fat guy in the back!

Push yourself, this kid pushes three times!

Gasol had no choice but to drop the ball quickly, otherwise he would be pushed away by this kid later!

At this time, the offensive round time is coming to an end. Under Jokic's tough defense, Gasol failed to find a suitable rhythm of shots.

I can only bite the bullet and turn around and shoot directly!

This ball was shot in a rush. If it didn't go in, anyway, after Gasol shot himself, he ran to the basket!

Sure enough, the basketball hit the rim and bounced up!
Gasol took off directly, and at the same time, Aldridge also took off to grab the board.

The Spurs Twin Towers are fighting for this second chance to attack!
However, between the two of them, Pork Belly flew out, stretched out one arm, and slapped the basketball directly!

This ball was still shot towards Zheng Long and Kawaii!

Zheng Long successfully caught Kawaii and directly received the ball into his arms.

Jokic's shot made Zheng Long feel a little pain in his hand, which was somewhat personal.

It doesn't look like a pass from a shot, but it looks like it's aimed at a smash.

Zheng Long single-handedly pushed the ball back and scored a layup!
Lakers 86:75 Spurs!

Eleven points ahead!
The game entered the countdown in the third quarter, and the Spurs only had one last offensive round left.

"If it wasn't for Gasol's bad touch, wouldn't you still have missed the ball? Can you take a chance? I really haven't seen you block a shot!"

Jokic didn't expect that Zheng Long would come over to "provoke" himself after scoring the goal!
Codes.

Workplace PUA, right?

Jokic has seen through Zheng Long's thoughts at this moment.

However, there is still nothing to say.

Because what Zheng Long said is the truth.

Take one. Must take one!
Jokic took the initiative to accept PUA, and his mind was full of "taking a risk"!
It is even expected that the Spurs can continue singles for Pau Gasol.

Unfortunately, this time, the Spurs did not continue to give Gasol singles.

Gasol came to the outside to cover for Parker. After Parker took the ball into the penalty area, he passed the ball to Tielin on the flank.

Tielin didn't have a chance to make a phone call, but at this moment Kawaii used Ade's cover to get inside.

Tielin looked at the right time and quickly passed the ball to Kawaii who cut inside!
At this time, there was no one inside, and Kawaii raised his hand and was ready to shoot.

Must score!
Must score?
Suddenly, a mass of pork belly flew from nowhere, and the moment Kawaii made a shot, he directly nailed the basketball to the backboard!

Snapped! ! !
"Unbelievable!!! Jokic invited Leonard to a big hot pot!"

"My God!"

"Jokic's defensive performance in these two rounds is like a different person, with one rebound and one block. Is this still the Jokic we know?"

"Hard!"

Jokic took the ball directly after nailing the big cap, and at the same time, he found Zheng Long's figure.

Directly "slammed" the ball hard at Zheng Long.

"Fuck you jerk! Catch the ball!!!"

Zheng Long failed to catch the ball with his hands, and the ball hit his arms, causing a burst of pain, but fortunately the ball was steady in his hands.

However, the round time is also over. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers failed to play another offensive round.

The Lakers 86 to 75 Spurs, with an eleven-point lead, entered the fourth quarter!

Lakers fans cheer for Jokic!
"Nice job, fat man!"

"Jokic is awesome, Jokic come on!"

"Too hard!"

The Lakers players returned to the bench to rest. Jokic sat down on his seat with an uneasy face without saying a word, and Zheng Long also sat next to him.

Jokic looked away.

Walton scratched his head, not knowing the situation between the two, while Butler, who had been on the court, explained it to Walton.

Wharton, who understood, scratched his head.

Why does Zheng Long look more and more like Kobe in today's state?

Kobe is also extremely "mean" to his teammates on the court. In addition to constantly provoking opponents with trash talk, he will also continue to use trash talk to stimulate teammates.

Back then, Gasol gradually changed and played harder and harder in Kobe's "nagging".

Wharton would love to be that peacemaker.

But not now.

I have to admit that Zheng Long's "trash talk" against Jokic is very effective!

Jokic's defensive performance just now really caught everyone's eyes!
Facts have proved that Jokic is not without that defensive ability, but on the defensive end, he is not willing to contribute.

Zheng Long, who was sitting next to Jokic, thought so too.

Keep the little fat man angry.

Only in this way can we cut off the point of Pau Gasol!

Now Ade feels bad, and he can watch from the outside line, as long as Pau Gasol is strangled.

spurs.

It must be slaughtered today!
