The Overlord of Basketball: 2K Possession

Chapter 143 The NBA's Two Thighs

"Wow, I think I need to take back what I just said, Chen is not a total softie."

The game had just started, and Barkley was shooting there again. He saw Chen Mo running around just now, and he was still saying that Chen Mo's style of play was too soft.

"really? Why?"

"You know, Bruce Bowen has quite a reputation in the league, the reputation of scaring children to tears.

But just now, when Chen faced him, he didn't hesitate at all, and he fought very tough. "

"Yes, I saw him spitting on Bruce when he stood up, he didn't look like a rookie at all."

"That's right, when he was in college, Chen Mo was suspended for one game because of his opponent's foul.

Chen wasn't the kind of guy with a good temper, and Bruce Bowen could always piss people off. "

……

That is to say, Chen Mo didn't know about it, otherwise, he would absolutely have to slander the two old guys, watching the excitement is no big deal.

The Spurs attacked, and sure enough, Jason Hart dribbled the ball for halftime and handed the ball directly to Ginobili, who organized the offense by Gino.

Although Ginobili is the core of the offense, he is not in a hurry to play singles, but to conduct the ball.

This is the tactical play of the Spurs, constantly passing the ball, constantly interspersed with running positions, and looking for opportunities to attack.

Don't think that these are useless moves. In fact, these moves are purposeful.

Where to run, where to perform a pick-and-roll cover, if the defensive player is not paying attention, there will be a situation where people are missed.

If no opportunity to attack is found, the basketball will be handed over to the star again, and the star will handle the ball.

Grant was a step too slow, Malik found his chance and the pass was there, just right.

It's a pity that Malik missed the middle distance. Although the tactics have been played out, it ultimately depends on the player's execution ability.

Compared to last season, after losing David Robinson and Stephen Jackson, the Spurs' strength has declined.

Not to mention, the truce between Duncan and Parker reduced the strength of the Spurs again.

Looking back, the Heat continued to insist on playing tactics, Brad Miller passed the ball, and Eddie Jones made an empty cut.

Facing the inside defense, Eddie Jones threw the ball directly to the right corner, and Chen Mo just appeared.

Chen Mo first feinted a shot, but Bo Wen didn't take a fake move, and then he directly pulled a jumper.

"Shh!"

5:0
To be honest, there was an element of luck in this ball. After all, Bowen's blocking was already in place, and there was not much attack time left.

Looking back, through exquisite passing and cutting cooperation, Ginobili broke into the inside and passed the ball, and Rasu put the basket and scored.

5:2
As the big brother of the team, Eddie Jones also started to play. After finally playing against the Spurs without being defended by Bowen, of course he has to show it.

As for Ginobili, he has to organize passes and be responsible for offense, so how can he focus on defense?

If he really tries hard to defend, it's a good thing for the Heat, and the Spurs' offense will only become more chaotic.

The cooperation between Brad Miller, Eddie Jones, and Chen Mo became more and more proficient.

First, Brad Miller passed an empty cut to Eddie Jones for a layup, and then Eddie Jones broke through and scored, and Brad Miller made a mid-range hit.

Coupled with Grant's successful tip-up, the Heat instantly hit a wave of 6:2, and the Spurs scored two points with only free throws.

Duncan's absence, for the Spurs, the impact is too great, whether it is offense or defense.

11:4
Seeing that he was 7 points behind, Popovich quickly called a timeout, and he planned to change his tactics.

Originally thought that in the face of an underdog like the Heat, Rasunestrovich could play the role of Duncan, but it turned out that he thought too much.

"Manu, next we need you to participate in the offense more, score the ball, and catch up with the score."

Popovich formulated a detailed tactical arrangement, mainly relying on the pick-and-roll to play Ginobili's breakthrough ability.

In addition, he also replaced Turkoglu and Robert Hawley by the way, two efficient three-point shooters.

In addition, Ginobili can also let Turkoglu organize the offense while keeping the focus on offense.

It's a pity that Hawley today is no longer the Hawley of the past. Apart from making people remember the key three-pointers, there is really nothing else.

"Also, Bruce, your defense, cut off the link between Chen and the others.

He is just a rookie, you should play tougher, play in your own way, don't worry about other people's opinions. "

Bruce Bowen nodded, but didn't say a word, but the indifferent expression made people feel a little uncomfortable.

Returning to the field again, the Heat also made personnel adjustments, Haslem replaced Grant, and Mo Williams replaced Blake.

Haslem is faster and more mobile, and is more suitable for defending the Spurs' lineup of one big and four small.

There is also Mo Williams, whose offensive ability, especially his stronger three-pointer, can effectively open up space.

In this opening, Ginobili used a European step to score the ball, and Brad Miller couldn't help it.

11:6
After all, Brad Miller has limited athletic ability and slow movement, making it the most difficult player to defend against.

Eddie Jones and Haslem picked and rolled, hit again from the mid-range, and opened the score to 7 points.

Next, the two sides entered a constant strike time, mainly because the defense was too ruthless, and no one had a good chance.

Especially Bruce Bowen, after being said a few words by Popovich, this guy became ruthless.

In any case, just follow Chen Mo, not to mention making a shot, even catching the ball is very difficult.

There was even one time when he was directly intercepted by Bowen. When Chen Mo was catching the ball, this guy pushed Chen Mo.

It's just that the referee chose to turn a blind eye. In other words, for them, Bowen's actions were slight enough.

Throughout the second half of the first quarter, Chen Mo only relied on air cuts to score two points.

I have to say that Bruce Bowen deserves to be the top perimeter defensive player in the NBA, and his defensive ability is really strong.

If it wasn't for playing too dirty and not being seen by other athletes at all, his status in the world would probably be even higher.

At the end of the first quarter, the Heat led by 23 points 18:5, which made Popovich very dissatisfied.

Especially in terms of defense, without Duncan as the core of offense and defense, the defense of the entire Spurs is problematic.

The existence of Duncan, coupled with his vast defensive area, can make the Spurs' defensive system have no obvious loopholes.

Because even if it exists, Duncan can complete the block in the first time and make up for the shortcomings of his teammates.

It can be said that the existence of Duncan alone can lay the foundation for the team to win the championship all the time.

There are only two such people in the NBA today, one is O'Neal and the other is Duncan.
