I'm a boss in the NBA

Chapter 374 Report to the referee, someone has committed a foul!

This Spurs, which still has a GDP and has Aldridge and Leonard as the leaders of the new generation, is actually still the favorite to win this season, and it is currently the only team that can balance and confront the Warriors in the regular season. .

Hard to imagine, right?
This season, in the era when the Warriors pushed the world's invincibles horizontally, and the Spurs had a record of 53 wins and 9 losses abruptly from the cracks, which is not much worse than the Warriors.

Halfway through the season, they ranked first in NBA history by winning 40 points in the first 564 games of the season (the Chicago Bulls ranked fourth with 1996 points in the 490 season). Winning the opponent by at least 9 points, completing such a feat in the first 25 games created a historical record in the NBA.

At that time, the Spurs' offense was sixth in the league, first in defense, and second in assists.

These old guns are very annoying.

Don't look at Xu Xuanming's laughing and joking, but this is when he is really serious.

From the training session before the game, the Pacers players can clearly feel that the head coach Frank Vogel attaches great importance to the game against the Spurs, because he kept mentioning the "defense" in the training session. word.

To win the Spurs, the Pacers must improve the team's defense level.

"If we won the last game, we can still win this game!" This is what Frank Vogel meant.

"We lost the last game, we must win this game!" This is what Popovich meant.

The two teams have played one game before, and the winner of that game was the Pacers.

And this one... not sure yet!
3 month 7 number.

Indiana.

Bankers Life Arena.

The game between the Pacers and the Spurs is imminent.

The starting lists of both sides were given on the big screen.

Spurs: Tony Parker, Danny Green, Kawhi, Alder, Duncan

Pacers: Xu Xuan, CJ Miles, Paul George, PJ Tucker, JaVale McGee
When the two teams met in the last game, Popovich, the dog R, chose to let the main players take turns. There is no pleasure in winning, just like giving you the victory on your own initiative.

This game is different. This time the Spurs will start with all the main players, and there are also veterans such as Ginobili and Diaw sitting on the bench.

"It seems that the Spurs are very murderous. I guess they will not be willing to be the background board. You must know that if the Pacers win this game, it will be a ten-game winning streak!" Yu Jia explained.

"That's true. Today's Spurs' full lineup must be determined to win this game." Zhang Reasonable nodded: "It depends on how the Pacers respond."

It was Duncan who jumped the ball with McGee.

There was no suspense in this jump ball. Duncan didn't even bother to jump. The No. 21 rookie took a look at the height of the referee's throw of the ball, pretended to jump, and retreated towards his own half.

"Um???"

this old guy.

Instead of doing this, it's better to let Ade to dance, why do you have to do it yourself, the Spurs must have a purpose!

Xu Xuan's eyes froze, he didn't think the Spurs would do such a useless effort!
But the fact is, he really thinks too much
At this time, although the old Duncan was still very competitive, he also had a playful heart. You may not think that this old guy jumped the ball today just for fun.
But Xu Xuan didn't know, so he pushed the ball very cautiously, so cautiously that Kawaii on the opposite side almost thought that this was not the Pacers, and this was not Xu Xuan.

He looked at Popovich on the sidelines, hey, why is the coach different from what you said?

Didn't you promise to be careful with his fast break?
This attack is slower than mine.
Popovich is also very strange, but at the beginning of the game, he still can't see anything, so he can't change it. Anyway, Tim is on the court, so he can deal with anything.
Seeing Kawaii standing in front of him, Xu Xuan didn't even hesitate, and made such a move with his left hand——

Great Summoning!

pick and roll.

Pickle's pick and roll.

After the pick-and-roll was over, the Spurs switched defenses, and Xu Xuan turned his head to Mochizuki and handed the ball to Paojiao in the next step.

how?
Wouldn't it be nice to let the top five small forwards in the league have a civil war?

Why do you want to play kawaii solo?

No need, really no need.

Xu Xuan's disadvantage in playing Kawaii is too great, basically 360-degree restraint to death.

But pickled peppers don't have this problem.

He is also a small forward, and he is also one of the top five small forwards in the league. He has long wanted to play against this player who came from behind and ranked ahead of him.

At present, in the official ranking list, the old man is first at the small forward position, Durant is second, Kawhi is third, Pickle is fourth, and Butler is fifth.

The pickled pepper didn't hesitate at all, and hit the front directly.

Sudden Shunpo on the left!
Kawaii's instant grab!

Kawaii relied on the characteristics of the gibbon and the big hand, let him touch the ball, and the ball was hit by an external force, but the next second, Paojiao reacted immediately, stretched his arm, and saved the ball.

Wonderful game!
No one suffered a loss this round, but now no one dares to be careless, and they all feel that the other party is very difficult to mess with.

Pickled Pepper looked up at the time, 15 seconds, still a breakthrough!

Pickled pepper is very confident in his breakthrough.

Kawaii's tight defense didn't give him a chance!

The pickled peppers are forcibly shot!

Hit the board low!

Bang, boom, boom.

After the basketball bounced a few times on the hoop, it fell into the net with a swish!
The Pacers took the lead and scored 2 points!
"This is purely personal strength. Neither Adelaide nor Duncan intends to supplement defense."

This kind of 1V1 men's battle on the road, how to make up defense?

What kind of defense do you want!
Life and death are fate, wealth is in the sky!
Looking back, the Spurs attacked.

The French sports car brought the ball over, and Xu Xuan just wanted to go up to defend, when he saw a pick-and-roll on the opposite side.
Old Duncan greeted him unhurriedly.

what? ?
How did you come?

Xu Xuan looked over with doubts.

Old Duncan slapped Xu Xuan and pulled him over: "What are you doing asking so many questions? Hit your ball."

Xu Xuan glanced at him, and immediately raised his hand: "Referee, someone fouled here!"

"???"

"What kind of foul?"

"He pulled me!"

"???"

After 30 seconds, the old man named Tim Duncan looked at Xu Xuan resentfully.

He recited a foul for no reason, it really beeped the dog, and it reminded him of a very bad experience.
Xu Xuan looked at him earnestly, hoping that he could come and pick him up again, so that he could temporarily disable a main force on the opposite side.

It's a pity that after this old guy was tricked once, he won't be fooled anymore.

The Spurs' attack was completed by Adelaide in a high position.

A very dry and unpretentious jumper that hit the Nets directly.

2 to 2, Xu Xuan's mouth twitched as he looked at the paralyzed trio who ran back blankly.

The Spurs team is really gay. There are only a few facial paralysis in the league, and he has collected them all.

Xu Xuan wondered if Popovich, an old man, had any special hobbies.
Pacers attack.

Before the three-point line, Xu Xuan continued to pass the ball to Paojiao.

The Spurs have to change every block, and Kawhi is not afraid. Although he was scored by Pickle just now, it was purely personal strength. The two forwards faced each other again.

To be honest, playing against a team like the Spurs is very boring, because they will never be able to follow your rhythm, no matter how fast you are and how good the rhythm is, they still play their own things.

Pickled Pepper Flying's licking basket was disturbed.

Kawaii defended the ball well, the ball was intercepted, Adelaide rebounded, and the Spurs counterattacked.

Oblique angle, stone Buddha's iconic 45-degree angle to hit the board——

Boom!

The old stone Buddha is empty.

He himself shook his head and smiled nonchalantly.

After all, it is old.
In fact, the old Shifu wanted to retire last season, ah, last season, last season, but he was dissuaded by Popovich, and finally because there was a new kind of pizza in the cafeteria The reason is that the old stone Buddha still decided to play for another year. And this is not the first time that he is going to retire. It's just that he didn't retire every time.

So even if he said this season that he would retire in the summer, no one believed him
It's sad, it's such a sad feeling that no one believes what you say.
Kawaii has no expression on his face, you are sad when you are so sad, what is going on with this hand?

Snapped!
Let me go!

"Ahem, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding." Old Deng smiled and retracted his hand.

He found out that this person, the older he gets, the worse his self-control, just like today, he can't control his hands, always thinking "Heaven and man caress my head, tie my hair and live forever", what do you think?
hair messed up
Kawaii glared at the old guy in front of him unhappily. He still has a small braid for future generations, but the general outline is still there. Getting a scalp is like being plowed out. Anyway, Xu Xuan can't do it. Understand his aesthetics, is this hairstyle very handsome?
Shouldn’t a real man conquer the world with his hair cut?
The two sides exchanged irons, and the Pacers began to speed up.

Even if the Spurs' rhythm is as steady as a dog, when it's time to speed up, the Pacers are not at all timid.

You like to hit yours, and I like to hit mine.

The Spurs went directly to Jordan's rules.

Kawaii single-handedly defends Xu Xuan.

Tsk tsk, this pair of big hands can really block out the sun.

According to incomplete data, Kawaii's palm is about 9.75 inches long and 11.25 inches wide.That is 24.765 cm wide and 28.575 cm wide.

However, Xu Xuan thinks that this data should be inaccurate, this slap will cover his face, definitely more than that.

A bunch of souls!
I know the fake news is deceiving.
This ball Xu Xuan chose to break through and then split the ball to the outside pickle, who made a three-point jumper on the spot!
Swish!
Got it!

"Ho Ho, beautiful three points!"

Fans at Bankers Life Arena stood up and cheered.

Xu Xuan went over and slapped Paojiao.

2 to 5, the Pacers lead.

Looking back, the little French sports car stepped on the accelerator and rushed into the inside line to throw and hit the board.

This ball is very difficult. The inside defense of McGee and Tucker is a very important reason why the Pacers are not what they used to be. With the two of them, even if they are blown up, they will not all collapse and plummet.

Just now, Old Deng suffered a loss from the joint defense.

But the ball went in, bounced three or four times on the rim, and finally fell into the net.

Individual ability!

Pacers attack.

Xu Xuan dribbled the ball across the half court like a whirlwind, and Kawaii stared at Xu Xuan.

Although the Pacers ended up with pickled peppers in these rounds, he never forgot who he was trying to defend against.

tight.

Airtight.

Under Kawaii's big hands, it's really hard to find any perfect shot opportunities.

The reason why the small forward position shines today is because their attributes are so good.

Can attack, defend, organize, shoot, have speed, have strength
In ancient times and ancient times, it was not easy for small forwards to stand out because of the rules. At that time, it was the era of the king of the basket, and the body determined everything.

And small forwards can't compete with power forwards and centers in physical fitness, they can't compete in speed as guards, and they can't score as well as those professional scorers, so the small forwards at that time looked ordinary and unremarkable.

But today is different.

In the era when blowing air may be called a foul, small forwards, which were not very eye-catching before, have become a magic weapon for their rise and victory.

Many people are discussing, if James is placed in the early 90s, can he still grow to the appearance he is now in the world?
This is a question worth discussing.

May or may not!
If the environment is different, who can say for sure?

Keke, get back to business.

Xu Xuan didn't have a head iron either. After two dribbles, he stepped down and picked up the ball. His eyes looked to the left, but the ball was passed to the right.

Corner CJ Miles' three-pointer.

bang-

As expected of the Spurs, Jordan's rules were slippery. Xu Xuan's pass was sudden enough, but the Spurs were not distracted at all. Danny Green, who was defending Miles, didn't give Miles any chance at all.

The tactics are executed thoroughly!

There are very few teams that can fully implement the head coach's tactics, and the Spurs are definitely one of them.

The three-pointer was intercepted, Lao Deng took the rebound and gave it to the French sports car.

frontcourt.

Kawhi's mid-range jumper.

Strictly speaking, this kind of shot is the most difficult to prevent.

Because this shooting method is the most unsolvable, you can't slap someone in the face to defend, but this place is close to the basket and the shooting rate is still high.

This is Kawhi's forte, and he relies on this superb mid-range shot and defiant defense to stand proudly in the league.

Swish!
really!

This goal is scored!

4:5.

It started in almost 5 minutes and scored 4 to 5. This game was so anxious that it was a bit suffocating.

"The Spurs' defense is nothing. The Pacers' defense today surprised me." Kenny Smith said.

"It's not easy to be on par with the Spurs defensively while having speed."

"It seems like they were really looking forward to this win today."

Ten consecutive victories, as long as they beat the Spurs, they can get ten consecutive victories. If the Pacers don't want to get it, it is definitely impossible, but if they want to get it, it is as difficult as heaven.

Looking back, after several rounds without fighting, Xu Xuan finally made a move!

Swish!
Like a meteor piercing the sky!

Shoot and score!
