My superstar background board

Chapter 95

In the 2006-2007 season, after the start of the regular season, the Spurs won 14 of the first 11 games and are currently tied for first place in the Western Conference with the Mavericks.

Facing such a Spurs, the 76ers played very hard in the first quarter.

Although the Spurs are slow to warm up, when their offense is not open, they can still crush most teams with defense.

So far in the regular season, the Spurs are the league's No. [-] defensive team, averaging top ten points per game in the league. This is the real combination of offense and defense.

After the Spurs and the 76ers each scored goals, the offenses of both sides gradually normalized. Yang Ze assisted Iguodala and made a layup. The Spurs cooperated and Finley completed the mid-range.

Iverson asked Yang Ze for the ball, and after a short pause, Yang Ze passed the ball to Iverson with his back.

This is a good opportunity. Iverson catches the ball and moves toward Ze Yang, who screens for him.

Iverson made a breakthrough layup and completed Ottobo's foul, playing a three-pointer.

When Iverson made a free throw, the Spurs called a timeout.

What's the situation? After 4 minutes of the opening game, it was 7 to 4, leading by 3 points, so it was timed out?
Yang Ze looked at Iverson suspiciously.

Iverson said: "It's nothing strange, you can't figure out what that little old man thinks for the rest of your life."

Don't guess what Bobo's thinking is, Yang Ze, you can't figure it out after guessing~

If Ze Yang could have guessed what Popovich meant by calling the timeout, they wouldn't have played so passively.

"The Spurs are not as strong as they thought." Iguodala said with a shrug.

Iverson had to pour cold water on him: "You are too happy."

"Andre, put away your contemptuous thoughts." Cheeks angrily reprimanded after hearing this: "The Spurs are now the No. The price will be severe."

Ze Yang has some understanding of this Spurs, so he will not underestimate it, even if it leads by 3 points now.

Is a 3-point lead called a lead in the first quarter? Is a 3-point lead called a lead in front of the Spurs?

"I can tell you very clearly that playing against the Spurs is definitely more difficult than playing against the Heat. From now on, if anyone still underestimates the opponent, I am not only referring to the Spurs, but also other teams. Whoever underestimates the opponent will not need to play in the next game gone."

Cheeks is also rare to get angry. If the 76ers narrowly beat the Spurs by 3 points now, maybe Cheeks would not give such a stern warning, but this has just started.

Iguodala shrank his neck and stopped smiling. This warning of deprivation of the right to play for the entire game is still very useful.

The timeout ended, and Parker rushed inside as soon as he came up and completed the throw.

On the other hand, the 76ers, on the offensive end, finally saw the Spurs' number one defense in the league.

They adjusted their defensive strategy and let the defensive champion Bruce Bowen defend Iverson, and their defense did a good job.

Yang Ze tried to attack twice, but was blocked by the flanking defense.

Passing the ball to Iguodala, Igo broke through the bottom line.

When Igo started, Duncan was still near the free throw line. When Igo made a layup, Duncan had already given him a bloody cap.

This is the price of underestimating the Spurs, and this is also the stone Buddha of the double team. His defensive range can even extend beyond the penalty area.

Don't look at his usual "dumbness", this defense, this block is not ambiguous at all.

Next, the main attack point of the 76ers is Iverson, Webber is responsible for the pick-and-roll and screen, Yi Ge is responsible for attracting the defense, and Yang Ze is responsible for passing and receiving.

The seemingly perfect cooperation also allowed Iverson to enter the inside smoothly. His backhand layup was once again interfered by Duncan.

You must know that facing other teams, even teams like the Heat and Pistons, as long as Iverson gets to the basket smoothly, not to mention [-]% successful layups, the success rate is at least [-]%.

In the next two rounds, Iverson's offense was either double-teamed or Bruce Bowen interfered.

The 76ers fell into a 3-minute scoring drought.

The Spurs seized the opportunity and overtook the score in one fell swoop.

Watching the fans listless and watching his teammates gradually lose their fighting spirit, Yang Ze did not pass the ball to Iverson, but broke through by himself.

He came to the basket with Parker, but was double-teamed by three people. The pass had no vision at all and no room for shaking.

What to do at this time?
Iverson once taught Yang Ze that at this time he could only force a foul, but one thing must be kept in mind, the basketball must not be let go.

His footsteps moved slightly, and Yang Ze took advantage of the opportunity to jump.

It's just that before jumping 20 centimeters, I felt that I was being pressed down by three or four big hands.

This situation is expected, but when Yang Zeqiang got up, he formed a semicircle with his right hand, embracing the basketball, and his left hand was on the other side of the basketball as a cover.

Some of the opponent's three or four hands hit the basketball, and some hit his arm.

"du~" The referee blew his whistle and gave Duncan a foul.

I often walk by the river, so how can I not wet my shoes?

Duncan spread his arms and looked at the referee in doubt. I didn't foul, I really didn't foul.

No matter who made the foul, someone must have committed a foul anyway, and Yang Ze must be punished for these two free throws.

Two free throws finally helped the 76ers break the embarrassment of not scoring a point in 3 minutes.

Yang Ze is also very fortunate and grateful to Colin. It is under his supervision and company that he persists in shooting practice every day, which is why his free throws are so stable.

Since entering the league, Ze Yang has not missed a free throw so far.

In fact, he didn't make many free throws, averaging only four per game. If he had such a high shooting percentage with the bearded free throws per game, it would be terrifying.

They scored two points with free throws, but the 76ers were still very embarrassed in the sports game. Iverson was defended tightly, and no one could break up the Spurs' defensive formation.

Ze Yang controlled the basketball and got his teammates moving after the Spurs finished their offense.

If the Spurs are still not moving, then there is really no need to play.

"Run, run, pick-and-roll, pick-and-roll."

Iverson also seemed to understand something. He didn't want the ball anymore, he just moved to attract the defense, and used his speed to get three in and three out of the Spurs' penalty area.

Under the cover of Weber, Yang Ze moved to the inside, turned his head and gave Weber outside the free throw line to complete the shot.

"Just play like this." Yang Ze said to his teammates.

It's just that both Yang Ze and his teammates think the Spurs are too simple.

You can finish an offense against the Spurs one way, and if you want to do it again, it's not that simple.

Ze Yang and Webb's pick-and-roll breakthrough pass back, has long been seen through the intention, Parker even gave up on Ze Yang's defense, directly to intercept Ze Yang's pass.

Because Parker has confidence in Duncan, Shifo's dominance at the basket is at the same level as O'Neal, Garnett and others.

Parker steals the ball and launches a fast break, and the Spurs further expand the score.

24 to 15, the Spurs led by 9 points in the first quarter.

This is called slow heat?

If this is voted open, how terrifying.

In fact, after the first quarter, Ze Yang felt that the Spurs' offense in the first quarter was really nothing too outstanding, that is, the team's passing, which disrupted the 76ers' defense and found the right person to shoot.

There are not many opportunities for fast breaks, and after landing on the ground, they are not impatient. An attack basically takes more than 16 seconds.

The scariest thing is their defense.

In the first quarter, Iverson made 8 of 2 shots, made one free throw and scored 5 points.

Yang Ze made 4 of 1 shots, made two free throws and scored 4 points.

Webber has 4 points, Igo has 2 points, and Dalembert has 0 points, for a total of 15 points.
