Chapter 635
Bowen's defensive moves are getting bigger and bigger. If the referee is not watching, he probably can scratch Bai Jidong's body with scratches.

"Bruce, when you defend like a woman, you can use your nails. Is this also taught by Papa?"

Since Bowen doesn't like to hear people say bad things about Popovich, he just has to say it.

In terms of offense, the Timberwolves are mainly launched by Bai Jidong.

Bowen is the strongest point in the Spurs' entire wing defense. If this point can be broken, the Spurs' perimeter defense will also collapse.

Bowen is not so easy to fight, Bai Jidong dare not treat him as a bastard who only knows how to play dirty tricks.The dirty trick is just a weapon used by Bowen to arm himself. It is mainly used to deter opponents. He himself is a defensive champion at the best defensive team level.

If a defensive expert like Bowen doesn't make some small moves, it will be difficult to defend against an astonishing swingman like Bai Jidong.Of course, even if you make small moves, the effect may not be very good.

Bai Jidong has two tricks to beat Bowen, speed and back attack.

If there is more space, Bai Jidong may be able to pass Bo Wen in one step; if he hits back, it will take a little more effort, but he can definitely get in.

This round, Bai Jidong and Smith set up a pick-and-roll.

The two 95-year-old players have a tacit understanding, one block and one burst, dismantling and changing positions, like a machine.

Smith ran out of space, and Bai Weidong passed the ball to help him score.

Duncan's failure to get out and switch in time was the reason the Timberwolves scored the night.

"As long as the cooperation is good enough, two players with mediocre offensive skills can completely beat an elite defensive player." Breen said.

Simmons' view is the opposite: "It should be said that even a defender at the level of TD will become a "stare" when encountering such an excellent pick-and-roll cooperation." (Note: Simmons' idiomatic term means using eyes defensive player)
The Timberwolves focus on pick-and-roll coordination, while the Suns open up the inside around Duncan's personal ability.

Duncan's restraint is amazing enough, Ginobili and Parker are still standing on the outside.

Before this situation, the Timberwolves can only take man-to-man defense against Duncan.

Such a defense is undoubtedly asking Duncan to play singles, how can the Spurs refuse to obey?
Parker passed the ball to Duncan, and a round of singles began.

Duncan's back play is different from most insiders, and the rhythm of his force is very characteristic.

When Olowokandi played against him, there was always a sense of frustration that he was crushed in terms of IQ.

"Pretty good defense, but still a little bit worse."

Before Duncan could finish his sentence, Bai Jidong came in and cut his ball.

Although the ball was cut off, it did not form a steal.

The ball hit the floor and flew out of bounds, Bai Jidong sighed and shook his head.

"It's well cut, but it's a pity that it's out of bounds. I knew you would say that. Now that I've said it for you, what else do you have to say?"

Normal people can't understand Bai Jidong's thinking. Although Duncan has a bachelor's degree in psychology, it is still a difficult project to understand Bai Jidong's thinking.

Taking advantage of this timeout, the Timberwolves made another substitution.

Casey kept changing players, in order to find the best five players.

Spanoulis replaced Ukic and Vashabek replaced Battier.

Two brand new matchups: King outside Europe vs. French sports car; Argentine demon sword vs. Vashabek.

Parker is a role model for all European players, and he is also a target for Spanoulis.

For European players, as long as they can replicate Parker's career trajectory, it is considered a great success.

An underrated low-ranked European guard with nothing but speed.

No one knows what magic the Spurs had cast on Parker to turn him into the French sports car he is today.

As the youngest member of the troika, Parker can score 18 points, 5 assists and 3 rebounds this season, and has steadily improved in the playoffs. He has the momentum to replace Ginobili as the team's engine.

"Have you ever drank French red wine? It's mellow and rich, and it will definitely make you drunk."

Parker didn't know where to start, and Spanoulis was confused.

Suddenly, Parker started to move forward, trying to destroy the Timberwolves' perimeter defense.

Spanoulis' defense is not a small problem. Fortunately, with Bai Jidong's help, Parker's breakthrough can barely be blocked.

Parker slowed down, stepped up suddenly, and pierced through Bai Jidong's defense with his kick.

The speed is so fast that it deserves its reputation.

Bai Jidong's pursuit speed was not slow, but there was no room for acceleration. Parker flew towards the basket like a stinger, and scored another layup with a spinning top.

"It's said that White Wolf's speed is very fast, but it's actually very average." Parker was just at a frivolous age, and he couldn't wait to snark when he took advantage of it.

Seeing this concentration, Bai Jidong secretly shook his head: "Vassilis, can you control this Frenchman?"

Spanoulis resentfully said: "I swear in the name of Zeus, I will try my best, but I can't guarantee the result."

Depend on!Doesn't this make it clear that your best efforts are useless?Bai Jidong was in a headache.

It is not difficult to defend against Bowen, the difficulty is how to defend against Bowen and help others defend.

The matchup between Vashabek and Ginobili is also a problem. Can this kid stop that monster's attack?It's not that he hasn't guarded Ginobili before, and the effect is not good.

"It would be great if KG was here." Bai Jidong often felt this way.

Garnett is one of those players who doesn't know how good he is until he's gone.

Looking at Garnett's current state, the anger should have subsided. I don't know when Casey will send him on the court.

Bowen still looked like he wanted to eat people, Bai Jidong was used to his expression, if he suddenly changed to a normal expression, Bai Jidong would definitely force him to change back.

Before halftime, Spanoulis saw Bai Weidong's gesture for the ball, and then passed the ball to Bai Weidong's hands.

Bai Jidong accelerated his dribble, giving Bowen the illusion that "he is going to break through".

Bo Wen focused all his attention on defending against the breakthrough, but Bai Jidong suddenly slowed down, dribbled the ball on the spot, turned around, reached his most accurate top of the arc, leaped, drifted, and shot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

After making a steady hit, Bai Jidong scored 3 points forcefully, waving his arms and said, "I knew you couldn't defend me, it seems that Papa didn't tell you how to defend me!"

Bowen kept silent on this ball, it was indeed his judgment that went wrong.

Bai Jidong's speed is really unusually fast, a slight distraction may lead to the collapse of the entire defense.

"The White Wolf is still the White Wolf. After KG left the field, he supported Minnesota's defense. Whether it was offense or defense, he did a great job!" Breen said.

Simmons revealed some things: "According to the information I got, the white wolf is in the leading position in the competition for the best defensive player award. If he can continue to maintain his current performance, he will become the second player in a league after MJ. Players who won the scoring champion, steals champion, double first team, MVP and DPOY during the season."

"MVP? Are you sure?" Brin asked excitedly.

"There is still some suspense before Dallas is out. After Dallas is out, the White Wolf has no competitors. I won't be surprised if he is elected MVP with unanimous votes." Simmons sighed. "I think TD is the best player of the past decade, but the White Wolf is the best player right now."

Duncan's offense encountered a double-team from the Timberwolves.This double-teaming was not instigated by anyone. It was Smith's impromptu idea and suddenly double-teamed.

Duncan handles the ball steadily, waits for the double-team to come, and makes a smart pass to his teammate at the basket.

Elson was about to attack the basket with the ball, but was interfered by Olowokandi.

Nine out of ten shots at the basket turned out to be crooked.

Elson thought he was ashamed to face his teammates, so he realized his specialty, jumped up to take off the offensive rebound, and made a second attack.

In the first attack, Olowokandi interfered casually without hope, but he missed.

The second attack after grabbing the rebound was different. Olowokandi waited for him to jump up and block the shot.

"Go to hell!"

Olowokandi yelled and blocked Elson's shot hard.

Vashabek blocked Ginobili and protected the rebound.

Bai Jidong wanted the ball, and he passed it straight to Spanoulis who was about to come down.

This is Spanoulis' favorite rotation counterattack, and the entire front depends on him alone to decide the offense and defense.

The King of Greece exposed his aggressive nature, jumped up at will, and completed a light one-handed dunk.

Seeing that the momentum was completely falling to the Timberwolves, Popovich immediately called a timeout, interrupted the Timberwolves' offensive, and adjusted his strategy at the same time.

The Spurs' substitutions were straightforward, with Bowen to defend Vashabek, Finley replaced Ginobili, and matched up with Bai Jidong, and Horry replaced Elson, who had zero autonomous offensive ability.

Casey adjusted the inside lineup, switched back to Garnett, and used Himien to partner with Garnett.

Partnering with Horry, Duncan is tantamount to playing center.

In the same way, as a partner with Simien, Garnett is actually playing a center.

Coaches on both sides believe their No. 21 can beat their opponents.

Constant substitutions will reduce the tacit understanding on the court. The first time the tacit understanding was implicated was Duncan, who is known for his stability.

Duncan's back-up is not as gorgeous as Garnett, nor as fierce as O'Neal. The word rhythm is the best interpretation of his back-up.

Garnett will never know when Duncan is charging with all his strength and when he is feinting and turning around.

The unpredictable post-up force is the ultimate secret of Duncan Duncan's entire low-post offense.

The difference between Garnett and most space-type insiders is that his lower body strength is very good, so Duncan's post-up is not unsolvable.

Horry sneaked under the blue and sent a voice signal that only Duncan could understand.

Duncan played the ball in the way he usually cooperates with Horry, but it hit Horry's foot directly.

"Out of bounds!"

"Damn!"

Horry only hated why his long legs were blocking this position.

Without this foot in the way, this should be a wonderful internal pass and internal cooperation.

Duncan shook his head: "I made a mistake." "No, I made a mistake." Horry said.

"Anyway, it's my fault for not figuring out where you are," Duncan said.

"Stop arguing, even if you two made a mistake together, okay?" Bai Jidong interjected.

The two looked over together, and Huo Li said, "What's none of your business?"
