Chapter 702 Socialist Hot Pot
After the first half, the two teams were evenly divided.

Bai Jidong performed very well, and the offensive and defensive organization caught him. The Spurs had no choice but to use Bowen to pester him, and then let Duncan make up the defense at any time.

Even though the Spurs took heavy precautions against Bai Jidong, he still scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists in the first half.

"How to limit the performance of the White Wolf is the key to whether the Spurs can win this game." Elliott's tone was very relaxed, but everyone could hear that he was serious.

Andeke has a different opinion, "The White Wolf is not only the main attacker of the Timberwolves, but also their command tower. If you can't restrict the White Wolf, then restrict others. Because the White Wolf alone can't kill the Spurs."

"Do you want the Spurs to use Jordan's rules against the White Wolves?" Elliott asked amusedly.

"If it works, why not?" Andeko asked.

Casey emphasized inside defense in the locker room. If the White Wolves hadn't played well, they would have been blown away by Duncan.

Casey described a scene where Duncan beat Olowokandi violently. It was an overwhelming single, and everyone was very impressed.

"If we let Duncan play so easily every time, then this game will definitely lose." Casey said, "Duncan averaged 19 points per game before, and now you have let him score 17 points. We can't do it again. Let him kill us like this!"

In order to make the team realize the seriousness of the problem, Casey made the matter very serious, and Olowokandi and others blamed themselves very much.

"Coach, I will definitely lock him up in the second half!" Olowokandi made a guarantee that he could not do at all.

Casey didn't take it seriously: "I don't need you to lock him up. What I want is to see him score extremely hard in our penalty area, instead of scoring easily and simply like in the first half."

"Coach, we can do it!" Olowokandi said excitedly.

In the third quarter, the Timberwolves kicked off the attack.

Ukic was the starter in the second half. After holding the ball for halftime, Olowokandi blocked Duncan inside. Oberto was once again suspended in a high position.

Ukic's breakthrough was like a whirlwind. Once he got in, he had to make a big noise.

Duncan couldn't help because his body was stuck by Olowokandi and had to watch Ukic score in their lane.

"Bruce, why don't you fight with your body? Are you already weak? The game has just begun." Bai Jidong laughed.

Bowen doesn't like to talk trash. He is a demon hiding under the giant's shoulders, and he always uses vicious tricks to help the giant win.

The more Bai Jidong talks trash, the more petty moves he makes.

In this round, neither of them was polite, and all kinds of violent confrontations like primitive people fighting were going on smoothly while running without the ball.

For AC, it is not a good idea to conduct a lot of off-ball confrontation. Confrontation means consumption, and consumption will disrupt the feel and affect the state of the game.

Bai Jidong is not the same, he has an almost morbid obsession with this brutal confrontation, as if he can't play without confrontation.

This abnormal obsession and confrontation syndrome comes from Jordan's education, and the three years of working with Jordan have influenced Bai Jidong a lot.Jordan played a role close to that of a mentor.

The current Bai Jidong is like Jordan in many ways, which is why some people say that he is Jordan's "work".

Duncan got stuck in the low position, and Olowokandi resisted stubbornly. He listened to Casey's words.

In any case, don't let Duncan comfortably catch the ball, let alone score comfortably.

"Good! Your confrontation reminds me of the basketball of the last century." Duncan caught the ball with his amazing wingspan, then sank his shoulders and started to hit back.

The next thing is irresistible. Even though Olowokandi wants to stop Duncan, his so-called hard work and desperation are useless in the face of absolute strength and technical advantages.

Once again Duncan eats Olowokandi raw.Olowokandi's teammates looked at him with sympathetic eyes, and they couldn't help with this kind of thing.

"Good, it's interesting to play against you." Duncan laughed.

No one can laugh more disgustingly than Duncan. It is said that a smile can melt the devil's heart, but Duncan's smile will only make people lose their minds and degenerate into a demon.

The Timberwolves have two strikers, Bai Jidong and Battier, who can hit three-pointers from the outside. Their running positions are like a whirlpool. Ukic finds Yi Jianlian to cover and then finds Bai Weidong to cover to form a stepped screen.

Bai Jidong and Yi Jianlian's screen formed two pillars, and then dismantled them at the same time, Ukic looked at the situation and gave the ball.

The Spurs' defense was messed up by this coordination. They wanted to defend against Yi Jianlian's move and were worried that Bai Jidong would break up and shoot.After a few seconds of hesitation, Ukic passed a pass to Bai Jidong who lost the outside line.

Bai Jidong catches the ball and shoots a three-pointer and makes a hit.

"Bruce, where is your defense?" Bai Jidong greeted Bowen every time he scored.

Bowen resisted not to speak.Bai Jidong's trash talk intensified, "I thought you were still the superstar killer who is not afraid of anyone, but now it seems that you are really soft."

"Whether I'm soft or not, you'll find out later." Bowen said coldly with a gloomy face.

"What can you do? What else can you do now? Do you make dirty tricks? I don't think I will be tripped by you. Your dirty tricks are useless to me."

The Spurs then began to move tactically. Duncan was the central axis of the entire tactic, and his single-point offensive ability was the basis of the defense.

At this stage, Popovich still relies heavily on Duncan's personal ability. Although he has also developed the famous classic tactics of high and low double towers, there is still a big gap between him and the godfather-like aloof tactician later.

Ginobili moved like a silver snake, saw every stitch, caught the ball and made a jumper, and responded to the Timberwolves with a three-pointer.

"Sean, you should stick to the Argentine," Olowokandi said.

Battier also knew that his defense was not in place, so he humbly accepted the suggestion of his teammates, "He won't have such a good chance next time, I promise."

Yi Jianlian seemed to be invisible tonight. He has no sense of presence until now, and the fans are very anxious to watch.

He is the main force of the Timberwolves, and the Spurs naturally want to study him, but Yi Jianlian is a player with great flaws at this stage.

The Spurs' targeted arrangement for him is as follows: shots must be interfered, inside cuts must be blocked, and once he holds the ball, he must be accompanied by traps.

This series of targeted defensive arrangements made Yi Jianlian's performance mediocre.

Oberto's physical fitness is average.

It stands to reason that Yi Jianlian should be able to play the advantage, but the result is very unexpected.

Yi Jianlian struggled against Oberto's defense.

"Pull it out!" Bai Jidong helped Yi Jianlian to block Oberto.Yi Jianlian reflexively ran to the outside line, the man was in place, and the ball was in his hand.

One side of Yi Jianlian's front was wide open, and Oberto couldn't defend after being blocked, leaving Yi Jianlian with a big gap.

How can such a good opportunity be missed?Yi Jianlian jumped up to shoot and hit the iron.

Bai Jidong showed good basic skills in rebounding, wrestling with Oberto, but he was able to not lose the wind, which made people dumbfounded.

If he hadn't fought face to face for a round, Oberto would never have believed that he could not beat Bai Jidong.

He is a head taller than Bai Jidong, with longer arms.

Apart from the location, Bai Jidong has no advantage, but he forcibly erased Oberto's advantage, using the terrifying strength of his body to hold the latter immobile.

"Oh my god! Fabrizio will definitely remember tonight, he couldn't beat a small forward!"

"Since David Robinson retired. Duncan's inside partner is indeed not as good as one."

"You can't say that. We all know the strength of White Wolf's core strength, but we didn't expect that even Fabricio would not be his opponent."

"Yeah, if White Wolf is a few centimeters taller, I think he can play power forward."

Originally, it was to criticize Oberto's card position card but Bai Jidong, but without saying a few words, it became a "fancy blowing Bai Jidong conference".

"Argentine, go home and eat noodles, what kind of basketball are you playing?"

Bai Jidong didn't take down the rebound, and gave it to Yi Jianlian to make another shot.

For two consecutive opportunities, Yi Jian teamed up and made a three-point shot. The Spurs fans at the scene cheered for him together.

"The applause China Yi got made me almost think he was a Spurs player."

"It would have been bad if he'd made one of those shots, but he didn't, and he even made three shots."

Yi Jianlian's mentality collapsed, and he missed two mid-range open shots in a row.

Bai Jidong followed up, and slapped Yi Jianlian's buttocks, "It feels good, it seems that you have been practicing a lot recently."

Yi Jianlian looked at him blankly, "Maybe I should make some adjustments." "Did this difficulty knock you down?" Bai Jidong asked.

"I just think it might be better to go down and adjust." Yi Jianlian said.

"No, it's more valuable to play one bad game than ten bad games." Bai Jidong said to Yi Jianlian.

Hearing what Bai Jidong said, Yi Jianlian also gave up his thoughts about the end.

Yi Jianlian is very concerned about other people's opinions, especially the opinions of his teammates.

He didn't want them to feel like he was someone who couldn't take his chances.

He didn't have a good touch tonight, so he's going to keep shooting until he finds it.

The more he dared not shoot, the more unscrupulous the Spurs would be on his defense. As long as he scored a goal, it would be difficult for Oberto to defend him.

Yi Jianlian adjusted his breathing rhythm and waited for the next opportunity to make a call. He believed in his touch.

Bai Jidong strangled the Spurs' flanks from the outside. Bowen, who had zero offense with the ball, didn't need to worry about it. His focus of defense was Ginobili and Parker.

These two are first-class players, not so easy to deal with, but Bai Jidong's defense is a nightmare for a short and fast guard like Parker.

This round, the Timberwolves deliberately let Parker into the penalty area, Bai Jidong followed up from behind and rewarded him with an authentic socialist hot pot.
