Reborn in the 96 golden generation

Chapter 409 "Demon Sword" Unsheathed

"Coach, I don't think you can blame Brother Robinson. Wang Zhizhi is very cunning and possesses guard-like skills. It would be a headache for him to play the matchup."

Duncan persuaded slowly.

"Duncan, can't even you beat him?"

Popovich was slightly disappointed.

"Wang Zhizhi's height and wingspan are stronger than mine, and his skills are more comprehensive than mine. Compared with him, I really have no advantage."

Duncan said bluntly.

"You mean, we can disarm and surrender early in this game?"

Popovich looked at Duncan with burning eyes, and said every word.

"That's not the case. Although Wang Zhizhi's skills are comprehensive, some basic skills are not solid enough. It's just that the exposure is not obvious enough. We still have a chance."

Duncan pointed out sharply.

"Duncan, what do you mean, you are sure to defeat him?"

Popovich's eyes lit up.

"I can't guarantee this, but I will try my best."

Duncan said lightly.

"Duncan, you just had a PK with O'Neill, and then you go to deal with Wang Zhizhi, can your body take it?"

Popovich faintly worried.

"If you can't take it, you have to take it. Wang Zhizhi is the absolute core of the Lakers. If we can't handle him, it will be difficult for us to win the final victory."

Duncan spoke earnestly.

"Well done, Duncan, if you can beat Wang Zhizhi, I will immediately promote you to the team leader and let Robinson stand aside."

Popovich swears by it.

"No, just give me a little more salary."

Duncan said.

"No problem, I'm the general manager of the Spurs. If you can do it, I will definitely give advice to the boss, saying that you are indifferent to fame and fortune and only care about money."

Popovich said with a black face.

While the two were talking, Zhou Yu took advantage of his teammate's high cover to make a decisive shot near the top of the arc and scored a three-pointer!
"62:55", the Lakers have extended their lead to seven points, and the Spurs are in jeopardy.

Although Popovich was anxious, there was nothing he could do. Duncan didn't have enough rest time, and playing early would only be counterproductive. At this time, he could only silently pray that the Spurs could withstand the fierce attack of the Lakers and win precious time for the final matchup.

David Robinson was deflated in front of Zhou Yu again and again, and quickly became angry. He asked for the ball from the low post and attacked Zhou Yu face-to-face.

After two consecutive dribbles under the crotch, Robinson immediately speeded up, relying on the momentum of inertia in motion, and forced his way to the basket.

This move was very powerful. Although Zhou Yu tried his best to defend, he was still hit by a small hook from Robinson on the move and scored the ball!
"62:57", the Spurs caught up by two points, and the two sides still had a five-point gap.

Although Zhou Yu was unwilling, he did not fight Robinson on the inside, and was still cruising at a high position, looking for opportunities.

With the help of Zhou Yu's high cover, Kobe once again held the ball and rushed in. The "madman" echoed from the other side. After receiving Kobe's pass, he immediately transferred it to Van Exel on the weak side. Van Exel made a shot False, and then put the ball straight to Horry who has improved.

There was an empty space in front of Horry, and he made a mid-range shot without hesitation. The basketball crossed a beautiful arc and hit the net with a crisp sound!
"64:57", the Lakers played very well in this round of offensive cooperation. Through a wide range of ball transfers, air cuts, and reverse runs, they found a good opportunity to make a shot and successfully scored two points.

The Spurs, trailing by seven points, immediately launched a crazy counterattack. Ginobili came to the top of the arc to control the ball, and raised his hand to signal the others to disperse. He was ready to pretend to be X.

Continuously changing direction and shaking, then suddenly accelerating, Ginobili's figure is as graceful and swift as a snake, passing Kobe and rushing to the basket.

Zhou Yu knew how powerful the "Demon Knife" was, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately came to block the defense, but Ginobi used the erratic "European Step" to easily dodge it, and took advantage of the opportunity to make a cool behind-the-scenes layup, not only The ball was scored smoothly, and Horry was fouled by a thug, and a free throw was added.

With Manu Ginobili's free throw hit steadily, the score of the two teams was rewritten to "64:60", and the Spurs were only four points behind the Lakers.

Ginobili's "one-stop" single-handed pass and layup can be described as amazing. His flexible and fast breakthrough and superb body flexibility make him a unique landscape in the shooting guard position.

Gritting his teeth in anger, Kobe immediately prepared to fight back. He used consecutive backs to turn and cut into the movement, followed by cross steps, smoothly shaking Ginobili's defensive center of gravity, and rushed straight to the Spurs penalty area.

Compared with Ginobili's "European Step", Kobe prefers to use Olajuwon's "Fantasy Footsteps". An emergency stop shot is followed by a turnaround shot, and Robinson is smoothly shaken, followed by a forward step , softly pick the ball into the basket!

"66:60", the Lakers continued to increase their scoring momentum. The peak match between the two super shooting guards Kobe and Ginobili became another highlight of the game, which made the audience sigh.

Perhaps seeing Ginobili's fiery state, the Spurs' passes began to concentrate on the "Demon Sword". After Ginobili got the ball, with the help of his teammates' continuous screens, he shook off Kobe and continued to shoot inside.

Although Ginobili was disturbed by several Lakers players on the way forward, he still kept his expression unchanged, protecting the basketball in his hand firmly, as if he was holding a pack of dynamite to blow up a bunker.

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Zhou Yu and Horry joined forces to form the last line of defense for the Lakers. Faced with wave after wave of tough defense, Ginobili kept standing, and finally, with a cool high hit Run and shoot the board and score the ball smoothly!

"66:62", the Spurs continued to chase points, and Ginobili's explosive performance was as sharp as "a demon knife out of its sheath", which made people shudder.

Kobe was so stimulated that he left his teammates behind in one fell swoop, took the ball and launched a fierce attack on Ginobili.

The rhythm changes of quick starts and quick stops combined with realistic dribble fakes allowed him to break through Ginobili's blockade smoothly, posing a huge threat to the Spurs basket.

Facing the menacing two-person defense of Robinson and Rose, Kobe suddenly got up, switched to throwing with his left hand, cleverly flashed two giant palms, and gently threw the ball to the basket.

It's a pity that the basketball finally bounced out of the basket. After the Spurs grabbed the rebound, they immediately launched a fast break counterattack.

After Ginobili got the ball, he took the lead, using concise and clear continuous change of direction to accelerate, dodging "Madman" and Van Exel one after another, and easily scored the ball!

"66:64", the Spurs are only two points behind the Lakers.

"Duncan, what do you think of Ginobili? Can you form a pair of 'inside and outside combination' that makes other teams in the league fearful?"

Popovich turned to look at Duncan and asked with great interest.

"Coach, don't you uphold the overall basketball philosophy? Why do you suddenly like playing combinations?"

Duncan was a little surprised.

"Don't get me wrong, this doesn't conflict with my overall basketball philosophy. You two echo each other from a distance, and you will definitely create better scoring opportunities for other teammates."

Popovich smiled.

"Oh, that's the thing. Frankly speaking, Ginobili's breakthrough is indeed very sharp, but his style of play is a bit flamboyant, which somewhat conflicts with my simple style of play."

Duncan said bluntly.

"Isn't this just complementary? You are too dull and dull, and Ginobili is passionate and agile."

Popovich chuckled.
