The NBA begins with blowing up Wade

Chapter 121 121 The Stone Buddha Restricted Everywhere!
"What would you do if someone kept running wild on your turf?"

The day before, Guan Yu asked Emma Watson, who was wearing the No. 21 jersey.

At this time, Emma has completely entered the role, answering without sadness or joy,
"Then I'll crush him to death like a bug!"

Guan Yu still believes in Emma Watson's professional ability.

Therefore, he felt that the Duncan in front of him should think the same way.

Guan Yu has always admired Duncan's defense.

Although this giant man like a stone tower has never won the best defensive player, in Guan Yu's mind, if this guy really wants to collect statistics, he really has a chance to win it!

And the 8 best defensive first teams and 5 best defensive second teams so far in his career also illustrate the strong strength of this man on the defensive end.

Even if this stone tower is not selected to the best defensive team this year, Guan Yu will not underestimate him.

On the field, in the blink of an eye, Guan Yu looked at the huge black shadow that enveloped him, and still maintained absolute calm.

I saw that he did not forcefully shoot against Duncan as Duncan and many people thought, but made a movement of collecting the ball, and then threw the ball from Duncan's side to the basket!
Duncan assisted in the defense, which means that in the penalty area, their Clippers have an absolute advantage!
As for the sky in the restricted area that is not covered by stone Buddhas, isn't it just letting Griffin, the Griffin, who seems to have finally broken free from his chains, soar?

Duncan's defense is very strong, keenly feeling that something is wrong, he waved his arms and tried to interfere with Guan Yu's pass, causing Guan Yu's pass to be thrown out of bounds directly from the basket!

However, at this time, Griffin fully demonstrated his talent. After jumping high, he grabbed the basketball with his strong and powerful arms in the air, and then smashed the basketball into the basket with both hands!
"Bangdang-!"

The huge sound spread through the loudspeakers throughout the audience!
The Spurs fans in the AT&T Center arena were stunned for a moment. Duncan, can't you guard against that nasty guy?

On the sidelines, the Clippers substitute players roared excitedly!
Air Relay!

It's still an alley-oop in the playoffs!

It's so rare!
Griffin on the court was also quite excited, swinging on the basket before landing brazenly!

Playing in the playoffs recently made him aggrieved, but this time, he finally felt comfortable.

After landing, Griffin smirked and wanted to hug Guan Yu, but it was a pity that Guan Yu retreated early.

Hugs from Emma Watson and the widow's sister Guan Yu are always welcome, but they are not sensitive to Guan Yu's tasteful hugs from a strong man like Griffin.

"attack--!"

"attack--!"

At the scene, the Spurs fans who had been stunned for a while roared in unison.

Although they still lead by 1 point in the score, this dunk really boosted morale. They must cheer for the Spurs players and give them strength!

This is also the advantage of playing at home!
After Ginobili came back, the Spurs' offense was indeed much stronger than in the previous game.

However, with the passage of time, the Spurs fans found with complicated expressions that the instant Spurs widening the point difference they had expected before did not appear!
By the end of the first quarter, the two sides were barely tied at 28!
The Spurs' offense against the Clippers is unstoppable, but their offense dominated by Guan Yu also makes the Spurs' side exhausted!

Especially Duncan, he felt that his every move would always fall into Guan Yu's calculations, in short——

Very uncomfortable!

During the intermission, Popovich patted George Hill on the shoulder and said a few words of encouragement.

Ginobili's return not only makes the Spurs' offense stronger, but their bench depth has also been strengthened.

Among them, the most obvious is that George Hill, who was replaced by Ginobili, can play with the Spurs' rotation in this game and can better play the advantage.

However, how could the Clippers not respond?
The offense of the Spurs' rotation is fierce, and the Clippers' rotation led by Arenas and Kaman is not inferior at all!

You must know that both Arenas and Kaman's offenses are at the starting level!
Unlike the anxiety in the first quarter, although the second quarter was also anxious, both teams began to play waves of small climaxes.

You beat me 5 to 0, and I return you 6 to 0. Both sides are happy to come and go!

上半场打完，凭借着关宇对邓肯心理把握的越来越熟练加上快船队的一波7比0小高潮，快船队愣是58比52取得了6分的领先优势！

During the intermission, all the commentators and fans were discussing frantically——

After Ginobili's return, the Spurs' offense is much stronger, but the gap between the Spurs and the Clippers seems to be even bigger!

It's outrageous!
"Brother Yao, I feel that the players on the Clippers side are not working hard. How can the Clippers lead so much?"

During the intermission, Allen asked Dayao.

Alian's personality is relatively shy, but this does not mean that he can't communicate. In fact, Alian is still very willing to communicate with acquaintances.

For example, now, he is puzzled to find that the Spurs are united but not as good as the Clippers, who play extremely relaxed.

Dayao thought for a while, and a wise light flashed in his eyes.

"Maybe it has something to do with the characteristics of each team?

For example, the Heat, which is full of tough guy temperament, performed better after the devil training camp. The Lakers, known as the purple and gold nobles, play more calmly and gracefully, the more they can exert their own strength...

The Clippers, are you used to this relaxed and free atmosphere? "

Alian, slapped his head and suddenly realized,

"It's really possible!

They should be far behind the Spurs in terms of toughness and technical tactics.

So they are playing their own style? "

In the Clippers locker room, Guan Yu and Arenas looked at each other and smiled.

Tough battle, the two of them can fight, others, continue to attack freely!
In the Spurs locker room, Popovich did not have the anger that the outside world imagined.

The Clippers played very well today, but he paid more attention to Duncan who was restrained everywhere today.

To be honest, there are not many players who can do this in the past so many years.

"Tim (Duncan), how are you feeling?"

Popovich came to Duncan's side and asked this immobile man.

Duncan in the locker room has a much richer expression. He said bluntly,
"I felt like I was being targeted.

Not being targeted by the Clippers team, but being targeted by one person! "

Popovich nodded.

He also had this feeling when observing the situation, and he came to ask Duncan just to verify it.

After all, this kind of thing must be felt more strongly by the person involved.

"Then do you have a solution?"

Popovich asked after glancing at Duncan.

Duncan frowned,

"On the offensive end, it's not a big problem for me to play hard, but on the defensive end, I can only choose one of restricting and restricting his teammates. Otherwise, I may not be able to restrict both."

Popovich nodded again upon hearing this.

He saw it too.

Guan Yu's attack today seems to be traceless, but he is actually weaving a big net with Duncan as his prey.

His middle distance is a provocation and provocation to Duncan!
His assist is a challenge to Duncan's status as the patron saint of the Spurs penalty area!
Duncan going to double-team Guan Yu with his teammates will definitely be able to limit it, but...

Their inside line can only be exploded!

A trace of helplessness flashed in Popovich's eyes.

In the past few years, it's not that he hasn't tried reinforcements, but San Antonio is not a city with a big ball market, and it is really difficult to attract stars!
It is becoming more and more difficult to break out of the west where the strong are like forests by relying on GDP alone.

The approach Popovich came up with was a two-pronged approach.

One is to continue to pick up leaks and strengthen the lineup, and the other is to polish a more balanced offensive system.

It's just that the former is not very successful this season, while the latter will take two or three seasons to achieve results.

And the age of the GDP trio is getting older, and there are not many opportunities left for him.

"Tim, you better guard the restricted area.

We can't fall into the rhythm of the Clippers!

And I believe Guan's middle distance can't be so accurate all the time! "

Popovich said to Duncan after thinking for a while.

Without the help of the team, there must be a choice in the face of Guan Yu, that naughty kid, and Popovich bet that Guan Yu can't vote for them tonight!

Duncan nodded.

He played very hard in the first half, and now with Popovich's words, he can better guard the penalty area and no longer get into trouble.

In the second half, change sides and fight again!

Popovich's arrangement seems to be working.

When Duncan began to concentrate on guarding the penalty area, it became difficult for the Clippers to score in the penalty area. Then, the Spurs' outside players' defense could expand with more confidence.

From the inside to the outside, the Clippers' offense was blocked.

However, the Spurs did not pay a price. Guan Yu's defensive strategy against the Spurs changed quickly, and he continued to attack from the outside.

After the third quarter, Guan Yu's score rose to 26 points, but the Clippers only led 76 to 73 by 3 points!

The Spurs recovered 3 points in the third quarter, and in the fourth quarter, it seemed that the two sides were heading towards the final moment.

Five minutes into the fourth quarter, the score on the court came to 5-82.

Only 5 points in 6 minutes, the Clippers' scoring during this period has become more and more difficult as the Spurs target!

The eyes of Popovich on the sidelines are full of confidence!
We lost the last game because Ginobili was no longer our key goal. This time, with Ginobili, it is not certain who will win the game!

wrong!

We just need to play a small climax and win the game directly. It is best not to play at the critical moment!
Popovich didn't realize that subconsciously, he was already a little afraid of Guan Yu's key ball.

The Clippers attacked, and Baron Davis handed the ball to Guan Yu after halftime.

Popovich's expression on the sidelines has become calmer.

In the third quarter, Guan Yu's mid-range shooting percentage began to decline as he expected, and with Duncan guarding the inside line, he was really not that afraid of Guan Yu.

On the court, Jefferson didn't think so, feeling the danger, his hairs stood up again!
In fact, even though he didn't show his hips too stretched all night, he himself was beaten by Guan Yu in various positions.

Especially the breakthrough...

Guan Yu really wanted to do whatever he wanted!
But Jefferson couldn't help it. He really couldn't prevent Guan Yu's breakthrough when he was mainly defending Guan Yu's three-pointer!
Guan Yu continued to change directions and break through as before.

Jefferson also turned around as if formulaic, chasing and defending.

However, what Jefferson didn't notice was that after breaking through him, Guan Yu actually retreated diagonally behind the three-point line, and directly shot a three-pointer!

If it is the beginning of the game, Jefferson, who is extremely focused, can give a lot of interference with a swoop.

However, Jefferson, who defended Guan Yu's breakthrough and left him numb, really didn't expect Guan Yu to dare to directly score three points without completely separating himself from him!

So, after Jefferson reacted and made a pounce, Guan Yu had already made his shot!
The basketball, twirling and flying over Jefferson's long arms, arced across the AT&T Center.

At the scene, the Spurs fans couldn't help but tighten their fists!

Damn, why is there a bad feeling!

Ballistic, not crooked at all!

There seems to be no problem with strength!

"Shh-!"

Soon, a muffled sound echoed in the AT&T Center Arena, and many Spurs fans showed helpless expressions on their faces!

Obviously, they were only one point away from overtaking, and now, they are four points away!

On the sidelines, Popovich is like a raging lion, ready to explode and hurt people at any time!

"Damn it, three-point defense!

Richard (Jefferson), what the hell are you doing? "

Jefferson had big beads of sweat on his forehead. I don't know if it was from Guan Yufang or from Popovich.

At the same time, Jefferson quickly showed an apologetic look to Popovich on the sidelines.

Although Jefferson felt that he had only made a small mistake, he knew exactly what to do in the face of Popovich, the absolute authority on the team.

He said you are wrong, you are wrong.

As long as you show a little dissatisfaction, you will definitely be greeted with a more violent blow.

On the sidelines, Popovich didn't know that Jefferson had worked very hard, but he didn't want to play at the critical moment because he wanted to win the game, not lose the game!
The Spurs attacked, and Ginobili's cold arrow missed a three-pointer.

Manu Ginobili is the kind of player that people love and hate.

For example, at this moment, Popovich really wanted to whip Ginobili hard with a whip.

What time is it and you still shoot a cold arrow three-pointer, rush in!
But from another angle, Popovich also knew that Ginobili was right.

If this response scored a three-pointer, the general situation is still on their side, but it is a pity that the goal was not scored!

The Clippers failed to make a defensive counterattack, and Guan Yu continued to play positional warfare.

This time Jefferson lay flat and let Guan Yu rush in!
Different from the previous one-step shot before the free throw line, this time, Guan Yu took a step inside the free-throw line before choosing to shoot a jumper.

Duncan, who was guarding the forbidden zone, was not polite to Guan Yu who dared to come to his territory to act wildly, and directly enveloped him!

Guan Yu avoided being blocked by Duncan by leaning back in the air. As for the basketball, he naturally missed it.

However, the ball hit the back edge of the basket, which was a short rebound.

The Clippers had a clear team of insiders, Jordan stuck McDyess hard, and Griffin slammed the basketball into the basket again after flying into the air!
The balance of victory began to tilt towards the Clippers!
