Showdown, I'm the God of Basketball

Chapter 330 The List of the 12 People's Congress Has Been Released
After Bo Wen entered the field, Zhao Hao's breakthrough became more difficult.

After this guy was verbally warned by Zhao Hao, not to mention, the movements of his hands were really much cleaner.

It's just that such cleanliness is only based on a ruthless person like Bowen.

So dirty movements like hurting people are gone, there will be no shortage of such movements such as pushing people, pushing hips, and slapping people behind the back.

But Zhao Hao naturally has a solution to this defensive strategy.

His offensive level is not as focused on breakthroughs as James is, and his outside three-pointers are also extremely accurate!
Therefore, in the face of Bowen's close defense, Zhao Hao took the initiative to call the big Z inside to come out to pick and roll.

Big Z is tall and big, and the pick-and-roll quality is no problem at all.

He was only on the perimeter, and Bowen was completely isolated. At this time, it depends on the Spurs' pick-and-roll defense strategy.

If he didn't switch defenses, but chose to chase and defend, then Zhao Hao would naturally open his hand and shoot a three-pointer without hesitation.

If the defense is changed, it is the short center Mohammed on the inside to defend him, so sorry, is the ankle safe?
Swish!
For the first ball, the Spurs did not expect Zhao Hao to play like this on the field, so they neither changed defense nor chased someone to defend.

Zhao Hao directly scored a three-pointer!

After seeing the ball, Popovich waved his sleeves angrily.

What the hell is it for defense!
On the next ball, Bowen was much more decisive, and directly chose to chase and defend!
But in the end, because the speed of squeezing through the big Z was a little slower, Zhao Hao once again scored a three-pointer with his open hand.

Thinking of the fear of being dominated by Zhao Hao in the playoffs last season, Popovich also hurriedly called another timeout.

"This guy can kill the game with a crazy three-pointer!"

Of course, Popovich did not intend to deploy defensive tactics to restrict Zhao Hao this time.

Because Zhao Hao, a bastard, doesn't want Bilian to play so much on the court, no matter whether he chooses to switch defenses or not, he will be led by the nose by the opponent.

So Popovich is deploying offensive tactics at this time!
And Popovich himself is an offensive coach!
As for where did the Spurs' rock-solid defense come from?

Naturally, it is entirely due to the foundation that Mike Brown has laid for the team before, as well as Duncan, the top defensive center inside who has been defending for many years!

Of course, Popovich has no idea that the future Duncan will be selected to the NBA's All-Defensive Team 15 times, and this record is also unprecedented in history.

But this does not affect his clear understanding of Duncan's defensive ability.

In addition, although Popovich's specialty is offense, his defense is definitely not bad.

That's why the Spurs have been at the forefront of the league for many years in a row on both offensive and defensive ends!
That's why the Spurs' defense has fallen so badly since Duncan retired.

And after the Warriors got Mike Brown in the future, why did the team's defensive efficiency improve by leaps and bounds compared to the previous year.

All of this shows that Popovich's ability!
And Popovich's offensive tactics during the timeout are also extremely simple and effective, that is, to give up positional warfare and play transitional offenses!

With the speed of Parker and Ginobili, even if Zhao Hao could keep up with one of them by relying on speed, the other would have no way to guard against it.

In addition, the Cavaliers have a big Z that moves very slowly inside, which affects the Cavaliers' ability to defend against counterattacks!
But in this way, Zhao Hao would have to go crazy!
Popovich also didn't expect that last season, Zhao Hao, who was only Kobe's backup for the best sixth man in the league, would have such a terrifying improvement and such a terrifying offensive level this season.

He made 8 of 4 three-pointers in a single quarter, and his inside shooting efficiency after the breakthrough reached a terrifying 7 of 5.

Such a high-efficiency offense also directly recovered the Cavaliers' lag in the first quarter.

After halftime, the Cavaliers tied the Spurs 54:54!

And after the third quarter, the scene on the court will be even more dramatic!

James was once again emptied by his opponent!
However, this time because Bowen has been playing for a long time, the defender of Lao Zhan changed from Bowen to Brent Barry.

Barry is just a short man with a height of only 198cm. Asking him to defend James is tantamount to being a car with a man's arms.

Therefore, at this time, James also decisively gave up his outside shooting, and he just took the initiative to kill Barry at the basket.

At this time, it was time for Duncan to shrink the basket.

But the Cavaliers still play a one-star lineup!
So at this time James passed the ball to Marshall in the bottom corner without hesitation.

Marshall almost cried when he received the ball.

It was almost the end of the third quarter, and he got the first chance to make a shot.

At this time, Marshall also cherished this opportunity very much, and calmly meowed at the frame before pulling out his wrist to shoot!
Go in!

With this goal scored, the Cavaliers also officially blew the horn of counterattack.

James finally released his nature, setting off a wave of counterattacks by the Cavaliers.

Sure enough, he still prefers to go to the basket and then look for opportunities for open teammates.

At this time, Popovich couldn't help but glanced at Bowen on the bench beside him.

Old Bowen is still panting now, and the previous wave of defending Zhao Hao also greatly consumed his physical strength.

Popovich couldn't help shaking his head.

He can naturally send Bowen to play at this time to continue to restrict James and change the situation.

So what about the fourth quarter?
What if Bowen is used up for the rest of the series?
Such a shortage of manpower, and everything is to blame for Zhao Hao's sudden explosion in the second quarter.

He also used a style of play that had never been used in the regular season or even in the playoffs to change the situation of the game.

"This kid has a high basketball IQ!"

By the fourth quarter, relying on the previous wave of offense, the Cavaliers had already led by double digits.

But this time Bowen can play!

Zhao Hao also resolutely did not let James go to the top of the arc to try his hand with the ball, but let him start to lead the Cavaliers' offense.

At this time, it was no longer Bowen who defended him, but Ginobili once again.

After seeing this change on the field, Popovich also had a premonition and kept shaking his head on the sidelines.

Now the Cavaliers' lineup on the court is still full of stars, so Duncan is naturally pulled to the bottom corner again.

He can use Bowen to retreat three meters to defend James, but what about defending Zhao Hao?

Popovich didn't dare to let Zhao Hao go like this, so he had to let Ginobili keep an eye on him.

It's okay for Ginobili to play offense, but he is much worse than Bowen in defense.

Therefore, Zhao Hao went to the basket again without any surprise, and at this time the basket was completely empty!
Various pictures of explosive dunks are coming!
Zhao Hao also turned on the runaway mode again in this quarter of the game, breaking through 11 of 8 inside!

Another wave opened up the score.

At this time, the Cavaliers' lead on the field has also come to 16 points!
Even though the Spurs are the most stable team in the league and the team that is the easiest to make a comeback, it is difficult for them to win the game when they encounter such a situation at this time.

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the defending champion Spurs 108:100!
Won Game [-] of the NBA Finals!
Mike Brown proudly put his other hand in his pocket as he shook Popovich's hand.

"See, Mr. Popovich, your apprentice defeated you!"

Popovich looked at Mike Brown's smiling face and knew that this guy was appointed and cared about silver, so he was complacent.

He also wanted to say that the Cavaliers' ability to win this game has nothing to do with you, and they don't have any adaptability on the court!

Although Mike Brown's defensive arrangement ability is top-notch in the league, Popovich also fully appreciates the adaptability.

Therefore, he is also very clear that this guy can only be an assistant coach for the rest of his life, or the top one.

But the head coach doesn't even think about it!

Outside Quicken Loans Arena.

After seeing the Cavaliers win the game and Zhao Hao scoring 50 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists in this game, Nami jumped up happily.

"By the way, where is that uncle!"

At this time, she did not forget to look for the old man sitting not far from the big screen again.

Although I was a little worried that the uncle couldn't bear the cold night and went home early, Nami still saw him in the original place!

The uncle was still looking at the big screen without taking his eyes off, and he smiled slightly after seeing Nami approaching with a smile.

"The Cavs aren't going to win, it's been like that for years, we're still going to end up getting knocked out and go home frustrated.

And it's been that way all these years.

So, we will lose later, for sure. "

A flight bound for China.

"YES!"

Seeing that the Cavaliers were able to win the first game of the Finals from a strong team like the Spurs, Yao Ming couldn't help but let out a cry.

"Xiao Hao, the performance in this game is too hot, it's not like reaching the finals for the first time!"

Dayao also began to look forward to his next performance in the World Championships with Zhao Hao.

Of course, at this time Yao Ming had already boarded the flight, ready to return to his motherland.

And after landing, he didn't have more time to rest, because the 12-man roster has been determined, and the training camp will start soon!

And this time coach Jonas was extremely harsh on the selection of players, and even said something extremely important.

This time the Chinese men's basketball team will break the best record in history in the World Championships.

——The eighth finalist in the Toronto World Championships in 94!

"Liu Wei and Zhang Qingpeng are the point guards, Wang Shipeng is the shooting guard, Zhu Fangyu and Sun Yue are the small forwards.

The power forwards are Du Feng, Mo Ke and Yi Jianlian, while the center positions are Zhang Songtao and Wang Zhizhi.

Add me and Zhao Hao, and the 12-man roster ends here. "

When he first got the 12-man roster, Dayao was full of confidence in his trip to the World Championships.

Because this is almost the best lineup that the Chinese team can send at present!
It's just that the original national team's outside players are really scarce, and excellent players are even rarer.

This is also the reason why the national team sent by China over the years has a majority of center forwards.

However, it's not that so many centers are really needed, but that other outside players really can't even play if they are selected!

Fortunately, now with Zhao Hao, a top shooting guard, the Chinese team can be considered to have solved the weakest link of the team.

"So, this time I really hope to achieve the best result in history for the Chinese men's basketball team!"
