Chapter 405 Unexpectedly
You two points, I three points, you three points, I two points,...

That's the rhythm, the Mavericks and the Spurs finished the first half of the third playoff game.

47 to 44, the Mavericks lead by 3 points at home.

It looked pretty good, after all, they were still leading, and the Mavericks scored a lot more than the previous game, but Lao Hu still felt very awkward.

The Spurs are still the same, trying their best to defend, so everyone is playing very slowly, and every ball has to be constantly contested. Although it seems to be passing the ball and the running position is still very clear, but this is Lao Hu who is very cautious. The result obtained, if one is not careful, it is likely to be undone.

But the problem is, looking at this posture, the Spurs' offense has not improved much.Yes, their defense is good, but their offense has a big problem.

Basically, the entire first half was played around Parker. It should be said that Parker was mainly attacking alone. Out of the 44 points, Parker scored about 20 points alone. This is not a problem.Although the Spurs' ball conduction is still very good, it is difficult to come up with good opportunities, and even if they do, the shooting percentage is not high.Of course, there are factors of the Mavericks' improved defense. However, Lao Hu still finds it incredible that such a good result can be produced.

It's very strange, I don't understand, but there is only one thing that Lao Hu is relatively certain about now, that is, Popovich definitely doesn't want to lose this game!
That's right, this game is very important for the Spurs, because if they can win this game, they can immediately regain home court advantage, and it is just in the middle of the series. For these veterans, At this time, it is easier to gather energy. No one in the Spurs will want to play seven games. These old guys really can't stand the toss.

Therefore, as long as the ball is won, the Spurs can eliminate all the unfavorable factors of the previous loss in the first game. On the contrary, they can have a 180-degree reversal of the situation of the Mavericks, and the initiative is all with the Spurs.

Forget it, it doesn't count, as long as you play well, don't care what kind of moth he is!I'm not afraid of him, no matter how good Popovich is, he still can't come up and play by himself!

"Judging from the first half of the game, both sides played very well and played their respective characteristics on the whole. Hehe, the Mavericks are good at attacking and the Spurs are good at defending. It can be said that they are all doing their best. And the current score It also just explains the problem. Hehe, this is like the story, the spear and the shield, is the spear sharper, or the shield is stronger, hehe..."

Teacher Xu is capable, and directly turned the basketball commentary into a story meeting.

"What Teacher Xu means is that after the game is over, we will know that this question that has been left over for thousands of years can be answered." Yu Jia was also very bad, and directly joked.

"Hehe, let's say this, let alone the possibility..." Teacher Xu also likes to joke.

However, they couldn't continue talking nonsense soon, and the third quarter began.

The lineups of both sides have made some changes. The Mavericks sent Bass, who has performed well recently. Originally, he was not the starter because of his height, but now he appeared in the opening lineup of the third quarter.The Spurs sent Ginobili, which is a strange change because they don't have any extra point guards.

The Mavericks attacked first. From a defensive point of view, the Spurs have not changed much. They still maintain a high-intensity defense. However, this defense is more like a zone defense. These old guys have more experience and know how to save energy in defense.

The interior space is too small, there is no way, or to turn to the outside to shoot, basically the whole first half is played like this, so, even if the Mavericks have enough firepower from outside, they only scored 47 points.

Bang!This time, although Nowitzki's jump shot is still so beautiful, it is impossible to guarantee that he will make it all the time.

"Ooh..." the fans sighed, as they do every time they miss, it's just that this game is a little more frequent.

Oberto grabbed the rebound, and the Spurs immediately started to attack, and Lao Hu immediately saw their changes, the changes in offense.

It's very simple. When Ginobili comes up, the Spurs' offensive changes will be more abundant. However, it's not about Ginobili. The Spurs are using their inside line to focus on Duncan!
Duncan didn't take a few shots in the first half. Apart from defending, he grabbed rebounds. He was simply a blue-collar player.But this time is different, Parker and Ginobili echoed each other, the Argentine's movement is very elegant, always able to bring out the defender, so Duncan got a one-on-one opportunity.

Take the position, catch the ball, turn around and squeeze, and step towards the basket. Although Duncan is not fast now, his footsteps are very solid. After these series of actions, he has already appeared in a favorable position under the basket.And it was Nowitzki who defended Duncan. This abstract defensive master was really not a cover, but his movement was not bad, and he could still put himself between Duncan and the basket.

Bang, swish!But even so, it seemed that Nowitzki's open hands had blocked Duncan's shooting angle, but Shifo still hit the ball.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." therefore, they would definitely not treat Duncan like Kobe Bryant.

"Good shot! This ball is really solid, that's the word, strong, a solid ball is scored, you defend me and I score too!" It is obvious that Yu Jia admires Duncan very much.

"Well, it is indeed a good shot. Nowitzki has already sealed his face, but Shifo still scored." Teacher Xu also echoed.

"It's okay! Another one!" Lao Hu shouted as he pushed forward, it was only a two-pointer.

Lao Hu gestured directly. He didn't call Lao Li or Nowitzki this time, he called Bass.This is a very strange decision, because in the previous game, Lao Hu hadn't done any pick-and-roll cooperation with Brandon Bass.

That's right, it was indeed strange, but the Spurs were most affected by this strange decision. They didn't think of this, and they didn't think that there was such a skill in the cooperation of the Mavericks. This was beyond their expectations.

Who is going out?
Frequent position changes, as well as the inside defense close to the zone defense, this makes the Spurs generals more embarrassed about this question, Bowen, Duncan, or Oberto?
In the end, Bowen went out, because he was the one who moved the fastest and had the best awareness of filling positions.

Of course, in fact, Bowen's main defense is Bass, but the Spurs change positions too frequently in the paint, so the division of labor is not so clear.

Bowen did come out, but he did hesitate. With such a little delay, Lao Hu found an opportunity, a good opportunity to break through.

When Lao Hu made a fake move forward, Parker immediately retreated, because the Chinese was no worse than Parker in terms of speed, and he knew it very well, so seeing that Hu Lin seemed to be about to speed up, Parker immediately retreated.

A fake move is a fake move, Lao Hu just frightened Parker, and then he retreated a little bit, and then immediately broke through in the direction of Bass!
This is a very interesting place, because Bowen hasn't come up yet, and Lao Hu's breakthrough time is relatively early, so it formed a two-on-one.

Squeak, bang...

He passed Parker smoothly, and then Lao Hu faced Bowen. This time, Lao Hu used a relatively bad trick. He sat down on his butt and directly came to a back single.

The previous speed was not slow, that is to say, although Lao Hu stopped this time, the impact force was still there. The force of this sitting is really not small.

Bowen, who sat down this time, almost lost his breath, but the opponent's feet were still very stable, and there was no foul problem at all.

In fact, it is very difficult to perform such movements because there is not enough space, but it is different now, Parker has not yet come, and Hu has plenty of space to perform movements.

But Parker is not a fool, he immediately saw the problem with Lao Hu's action, the Frenchman rushed over quickly, ready to steal the ball.

One in front and one in the back, just sandwiched Hu Lin in the middle, but it should be in place by this time.

Brandon Bass, after the pick-and-roll, returns to the basket along his own route, which is the so-called pick-and-roll. The basics are different. His mid-range shot is not particularly stable now, and it is a better choice to go down.

boom!
Hitting the ground pass, just before Parker and Bowen formed a double-team, Lao Hu immediately handed the ball to Bass.

One step, two steps, no need to adjust, Bass took the ball and flew towards the Spurs' basket!

ah!ah! ...

Two angry men meet in the air, Buzz and Duncan!

That's right, Duncan doesn't jump too high, but don't underestimate his height and wingspan. Even if he stands under the basket, he is a barrier.

However, Bass is now at a time when he can run, jump, fly and dunk. It is hard to say who will win and who will lose when they meet!

Kuang Ang!

Yan button!Yan button Duncan!
This guy Bass went crazy. After he fell, he got up and yelled!

"Oh ho ho ho!..."

The Dallas people are also boiling. They feel that they are living in heaven, and another star with potential has emerged, which makes them so happy.

"Good shot! The ball was dunked! This is simply too beautiful!" Yu Jia was also very excited, but he was relatively restrained, after all, this time is not too bad.

"Hehe, the dunk is really crisp." Teacher Xu still had the same style as before.

Beep!This is not over yet, the ball just now was obviously fouled, and the referee's whistle was just a little late.

To be honest, seeing this, Lao Hu was really surprised. He never expected that the damage idea he came up with would have such a good effect, which was beyond his expectation.

　Sorry, it's a little late, the fox's allergy is getting worse.
