Chapter 391 Number One in the World (Million Plus)
In-court play continues.

The Spurs kicked off from the backcourt. Parker took it all the way to the top of the frontcourt and slowly moved to the left. At the moment when Leonard left the left corner and then the left waist got a large space, he raised his hand and passed the ball. For Duncan, who has already completed the card position, the speed is extremely fast.

After Parker passed the ball, he rushed to the bottom line and took away Curry, who might be double-teaming, so that Duncan could operate at will.

In the blink of an eye, Duncan turned to face the basket with his right foot as the pivot, followed by bowing down and lowering the center, sweeping the ball in front of his body to test for opportunities.

Gasol lowered his center of gravity at the same time, Duncan kicked the ground suddenly, knocked down Gasol with a sudden step, and threw the ball to hit the board.

boom!The basketball hits the backboard and bounces upside down.

There were cheers in the arena. Who would have thought that Green flew to the basket, jumped high, and forcibly grabbed the offensive rebound from Jamison's head. He landed unsteadily and fell, but immediately turned over to avoid Kobe and Artest. Encirclement, threw the ball out in a hurry.

The cheers suddenly turned into sighs, and Leonard received the ball from the 45-degree three-point line on the right, with no guards two meters around him, and a huge open space.

Kobe rushed to defend, Leonard chose to pass the ball to Parker, the Spurs reorganized the offense, and Artest misplaced the defense.

"The Spurs are working too hard!" Mike Brown sighed. "So far, I feel that they are much better than last season."

Hearing that, Su Yang and Snyder smiled tacitly at each other. At the beginning of the game, they also lamented that the Spurs have become stronger this season.

During the conversation, Parker took advantage of Splitter's cover, strode to the left elbow area, pretended to take a jump shot, and successfully attracted Jamison to fly to defend, then dodged sideways, really jumped up, in a very awkward position in the air, Forced wrist shot.

when!Basketball hits the basket and hits the iron.

Seeing the basketball rebound and jump up, Gasol immediately blocked Splitter with his back, and Kobe blocked Duncan with his back.

Unexpectedly, Parker seemed to know that he would hit the iron after shooting the ball. He landed and rushed to the basket. Go to hit the board, throw yourself at it.

boom!The basketball rebounded into the net, 81 to 83.

"What are you doing?" Kobe stared straight at Artest, showing a little irritability, upset that Duncan was stuck in place for nothing before.

Gasol was also a little confused. He chose to block with Kobe. The original intention was to let Artest take the rebound, but the rebound was taken away by Parker. Two consecutive rounds of defense were in vain, and the Spurs played momentum. It's a bit like trying to push the crystal after breaking the three , but was wiped out.

"It's okay, hold on to the wolf, we can win!"

Seeing the three players in a daze, Su Yang clapped his hands vigorously and led the team to cheer together. Although he couldn't hear what he said, he was definitely complaining about the lack of defensive rebounds. He was actually grabbed by the Spurs for offensive rebounds twice. You need to come forward and twist the rope yourself.

Offensive and defensive transition, Curry dribbled the ball across the center line, the LOGO position attacked ahead of time, and directly broke through to the left with the help of Gasol's cover.

Duncan moved laterally to intercept without hesitation, bent his knees and lowered his center of gravity, obviously ready to entangle with Curry.

In a hurry, Curry really failed to break through Duncan. Seeing Parker approaching again, he decisively used Gasol to cover again, pulled the ball to change direction, and broke through to the right again, but Duncan chose to continue chasing, and the lateral speed was not slow. Block Curry again.

"Curry! Curry!"

Seeing Curry deflated, a few spectators on the sidelines spontaneously shouted for cheers, and there were still only 12 seconds left in the attack.

Curry immediately lowered his shoulders and lowered his center of gravity. The whole person seemed to be at a 45-degree angle with the ground, and he forcibly accelerated towards the basket.

I thought, Duncan twisted his hips and turned sideways, with his feet flying and taking small steps, he actually followed Curry's rhythm without losing half of his body.

Leonard also double-teamed from the left corner. For a while, the Spurs surrounded Curry with two people, but Duncan waved hurriedly.

Seeing Duncan indicating that he does not need to help defend himself, Leonard was a little confused, and in the blink of an eye he saw the basketball flying to the left corner.

Curry passed the ball, Jamison caught the ball and rushed to shoot, a three-pointer went into the net with a bang, Leonard took the initiative to help defend and had a negative effect.

The central large screen camera was immediately shown to the Spurs coaching bench, and the screen showed Popovich staring and raising his eyebrows, obviously very angry.

"Sometimes you are too active, and it's easy to do bad things..." Mike Brown seemed to have a deep understanding, and his smile seemed a bit eccentric.

Snyder and the others nodded in agreement. Su Yang was not surprised by Leonard's actions, but lacked experience. He thought Duncan would lose his defensive position, but he was surprised by Duncan's continuous blocking of Curry, and once again realized that the Spurs were stronger than last season. a lot of.

It can be seen from the defensive performance alone that the delay at the three-point line at the beginning of the game was supposed to be just a flash in the pan.

But Duncan's performance continued until the end of the game, which is enough to show that it is likely to become the norm this season.

Su Yang recalled Duncan in his previous life. He lost weight in the 12-13 season, completely cured his plantar fasciitis, regained his light and agile style of play, and was able to defend Nash and Terry on the three-point line like in 0708. After the defender, after the key defense is out, he can withdraw to defend the inside again. All the statistics have become new highs since 08, and the best defensive player vote once ranked second.

"The Spurs this season will definitely be the strongest opponent in the Western Conference. We'd better avoid it in the second round..."

While Su Yang thought about it, the game was played simultaneously on the field.

Parker assisted Duncan to score from the free throw line. Turning around, Gasol rushed to the basket and caused Duncan to foul and made two free throws. On the other side, Duncan shot the iron against Gasol, Jamison got the rebound, the Lakers counterattacked, and Kobe assisted. Sol made a shot.

As in the opening game, the two teams insisted on getting together to defend the inside line, trying not to give the defenders a chance, and let the big men finish with long-range shots.

With 1 minute left in the game, the Spurs did not request a timeout, and turned around and started with the zipper tactics. The Lakers defended everything.

Duncan took the ball at the top of the arc. He didn't see his teammates running out of the opportunity for a long time, so he simply turned sideways, released the ball and rushed straight to the basket.

That speed, that power, just like Ultraman Tiga rushing towards the monster, Gasol barely chased after two steps, only to eat the exhaust gas.

Seeing this, Jamison strode sideways, ready to stand outside the reasonable collision zone and make an offensive foul, but he only saw Duncan take the ball and kick off the ground first, and the whole person flew up and rushed to the basket, holding the ball high. With his right hand, he slams vigorously towards the basket.

bang!Duncan dunks Jamison!

"Okay!" Assistant coach Budenholzer clenched his fists and shouted on the Spurs bench, and assistant coach Brett Brown followed suit.

88 to 87, the Spurs were only 1 point away from catching up, and there were 40 seconds left before the end of the game, and the audience stood up and watched.

Su Yang walked to the center line and made tactical gestures at Kobe and Gasol who were dribbling the ball, indicating to directly pick and roll.

Kobe and Gasol followed suit, but Duncan followed Kobe back and forth, with excellent delays and no breakthrough opportunities.

The attack time was very fast and there were only the last seven seconds left. Kobe thought for a moment, stopped and turned around to score the ball to the right. Gasol caught the ball and saw Green's defense, and immediately threw the ball to the right corner. Artest caught the ball and dodged back Green, who was defending, moved half a step laterally and made an open three-pointer.

when!The basketball hits the basket and hits the iron, bounces across the bridge and flies left.

In the blink of an eye, Jamison jumped up and caught the rebound, but Splitter fell to the ground at the same time, and the referee blew his whistle.

Jamison fouled the rebound and handed over the ball to the Spurs. The audience booed the referee, and the Spurs requested a timeout.

"This is a flop..."

Mike Brown clamored to ask the referee to talk about it, but Snyder advised to forget it. After all, the Lakers also benefited from the home court advantage.

Kobe and the others returned to the bench one after another. Considering that the Spurs' defense was too good, Su Yang made up his mind after thinking about it: "After the timeout, the defense should give priority to blocking the inside line. If the time left after the Spurs shot is more than eight seconds, then directly Launch an attack from the backcourt. The strategy is to try to double screen and drag the tail to find space. Kobe and Curry give priority to shooting, and the rest will be decided on the spot depending on the situation...

In short, as long as an opportunity arises, you must operate boldly, and don't be afraid of making mistakes, it will be a waste of time..."

The Lakers generals nodded their heads to express their understanding, and then the whistle sounded for the end of the timeout, and the game between the two teams continued.

On the Spurs side, Stephen Jackson came on to replace Splitter, and on the Lakers side, Dreaming Green came on to replace Jamison.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." the audience booed unanimously.

Danny Green stands on the left wing, Stephen Jackson stands on the left corner, and Leonard stands on the right wing, which feels a bit out of bounds.

The referee blew the whistle to time the ball. Duncan received the ball and sent it to Parker. He strode into the court and headed straight for the top of the arc.

In just four seconds, Duncan caught the ball at the top of the arc and turned to the right, forming a hand-to-hand screen with the oncoming Leonard.

Su Yang saw that kind of movement, and knew that Leonard had not yet evolved into Brother Kazi. No matter how bold Popovich was, it would be impossible for him to hand almost the last ball to Leonard. Shouting into the field: "Watch out for baseline cross screens..."

Before the words fell, Stephen Jackson, who had been transferred to the right waist before, and Danny Green, who started from the left corner, crossed the bottom line without the ball. 45 degrees to catch the ball.

Kobe was delayed by Stephen Jackson and Duncan in a row, but he still flew and swooped, but it was a little bit worse.

While the audience was watching, the basketball passed over Kobe's head, swished towards the basket, and hit the net with a bang, 88 to 90.

The boos at the Staples Center stopped suddenly, and the Spurs bench cheered and shouted. With 9.3 seconds left in the game, the Lakers grabbed the lead.

Chasing Dream Green picked up the basketball from the bottom line and aimed at the center line to make a long pass.Kobe had already run to the position ahead of time because he swooped on Green to shoot the ball before, caught the basketball sideways, turned around and rushed forward, seeing the Spurs surrounded by two people, raising his hand to score the ball.

Curry received the ball in the middle, made an emergency stop and changed direction to shake off Parker, who was trying to defend himself, and moved laterally to avoid Jackson, who was trying to double-team.

Cheers exploded in the arena, and Curry stopped at the 45-degree three-point line on the right, ignoring Parker's lunge, and raised his hand to make a three-pointer.

bass!The basketball was hollow into the net, 91 to 90, with the last 5.8 seconds left in the game, the Spurs requested a short timeout.

The Lakers returned to the bench, and Su Yang praised Chasing Dream Green by name in public: "You made the right choice just now. Even if Stephen didn't hit that three-pointer, it was the right choice. You can trust your past experience and keep it up!"

Chasing Dream Green smiled shyly, and Su Yang praised Curry for his amazing performance, and quickly arranged defensive tactics.

The whistle sounded at the end of the short timeout, and the game continued between the two teams. The Spurs replaced Leonard with Ginobili.

The Spurs kicked off in the frontcourt, and the BOX formation fell.

Parker used Duncan's screen to catch the ball, and Ginobili used Duncan's screen to execute Iverson's cross-cutting run simultaneously.

Amid the boos all over the court, Ginobili received the ball from the right wing position and was about to single out Kobe, but suddenly he raised his hand and passed the ball back.

I saw Parker catch the ball, get rid of Curry with the help of Duncan's cover, go straight to the 45-degree three-point line on the right, stop suddenly and raise his hand.

In an instant, Chasing Dream Green gave up assisting Ginobili and marking the inside line, and rushed towards Parker like a rocket launch.

Snapped!Big hat on the face.

The basketball was forced to fly upside down and landed, rolling all the way to the backcourt. The whistle sounded at the end of the game at the same time, and the Lakers narrowly won by 1 point.

In the TNT commentary seat, Marvin Abbott sighed: "Draymond Green helped the Lakers win with one offense and one defense. Fortunately, Su Yang insisted on selecting him with the 35th pick. If he can maintain this performance, then Su Yang The world's number one draft pick..."

The cheers at the Staples Center burst, seeing Chaser Green's performance, Su Yang was really happy and worried.
