Chapter 282 Attack and Defense Showdown
At the end of the first half, the 76ers led 53-48 by 5 points at halftime.

Green walked off the court in frustration, thinking that he would be able to restrain Zhang Zifeng today.

But I didn't expect that I couldn't prevent the opponent at all.The opponent is so good at running that he won't stop at all.

It's already hard to keep up.What's more, the opponent often changes direction.It is even more difficult to keep up.

This is not counting the fact that teammates help him cover all the time.

God!

Green sometimes finds himself taking on the entire 76ers again.

In the second half, when the two teams returned to the court.

Zhang Zifeng found that the person defending him had changed, and it became Leonard to mark him.Green went to mark Grant.

Just after halftime, Leonard came to mark.

With the help of cover, Rondo successfully threw off Parker and rushed into the inside lane.

When Rondo started to start, Zhang Zifeng started to move.

Zhang Zifeng quickly ran to the right outside the three-point line, and Rondo passed the ball in time.

Zhang Zifeng received the pass and was about to jump up and shoot.

Leonard got there, pressed hard, and his height and arms put a lot of pressure on Zhang Zifeng.

Zhang Zifeng quickly retrieved the ball, leaned forward and made a breakthrough towards the inside.

Compared with Green, Leonard's defense is better. He has won 2 best defensive players, 3 times selected to the league's best defensive team, and 2 times selected to the first team of the NBA's best team.

Leonard followed immediately, sticking to each other all the way, trying his best to put pressure on Zhang Zifeng.

In addition to having a much stronger defensive awareness than Green, more importantly, Leonard's physical fitness is not comparable to Green's stature.

In the West, Durant didn't dare to confront James head-on, and could only use his footsteps and height to defend James.

In the past, Iguodala could barely confront James.

Now only Leonard can resist James, you can imagine how strong this guy is physically.

Zhang Zifeng managed to break through to the basket. After a big stride, he wanted to lay up and hook the ball into the basket.

In the past, Zhang Zifeng could score such goals nine times out of ten.

But today, under Leonard's strict guard, Zhang Zifeng hit the iron.

Dedmon grabbed the rebound and immediately made a long pass. Parker received the ball and ran the frontcourt with the ball. Facing Rondo's block, Parker used his experience to rush to the basket and took advantage of the rhythm difference to make a layup.

A successful defensive counterattack!
Zhang Zifeng looked at the expressionless Leonard who was just like Duncan, and couldn't help but sigh.So strong, really powerful, not at the same level as Green who played against in the first half.

If you want to get rid of the opponent, it seems that using Green's method is different.

In the 76ers' offense, Zhang Zifeng finally got rid of Leonard and received a shot.

But when he jumped up to shoot, Leonard felt that he jumped up to block the shot in time, and his long arms gave Zhang Zifeng a lot of interference.

This ball, Zhang Zifeng hit the iron.

Fortunately, Ibaka grabbed the ball, and the second offense under the basket scored the ball.

In the next few shots, Rondo saw that Zhang Zifeng's chances were not good, so he cooperated with other teammates more.

However, under the solid and tight defensive system of the Spurs, the offense of other 76ers players is not good, and they continue to hit iron.

The Spurs took advantage of this opportunity to play an 8-0 spurt, 55-58, and overtook the score.

The Spurs are good at strengthening the defense.Use the defense to swallow the opponent's lead point difference bit by bit, and then turn the advantage to the Spurs.

Now they are using this tactic to restrict Zhang Zifeng, causing the 76ers to make repeated mistakes in their offense.

Compared with the Spurs' enthusiasm, the 76ers are very anxious.

Seeing the Spurs score consecutively, my class is hitting the iron continuously.

They became a little impatient and played too hastily several times.But the more anxious you are, the worse you will be playing, and the less likely you will be to score.

Brett Brown saw that the situation of the team was not right, and quickly signaled the referee to pause.

The 76ers' situation suddenly became precarious. They have now gone from leading to 3 points behind their opponents.

Although only 3 minutes into the second half, Brett Brown could only send Saric on the field ahead of time, playing five small lineups, and strengthening the offense.

Brett Brown didn't talk about tactics or motivate players.He just repeatedly reassured the players to calm down. "We still maintain the lead, everyone don't need to worry. As long as we play our rhythm and let the opponent run with our rhythm, we will definitely win! Don't call out, hold your breath, and play according to our rhythm!"

The head coach of the Spurs was really motivating his players: "Boys, you did a good job just now. Continue to play like this in the next game and try to open the score in the third quarter. Come on!"

Pause back, the game continues.The auditorium was filled with the voices cheering for the Spurs, condensed into a torrent of voices, echoing in the arena.

Although the 76ers sent five small lineups, they hope to speed up.

However, the defensive system that the Spurs have always inherited is more stable, rigorous, and good at controlling the rhythm.

The 76ers couldn't improve their speed, Saric didn't have many ways to fight in positions, and other players didn't have a good way to break the scoring shortage.

Seeing that there were no shooting opportunities under Green's defense, Grant habitually wanted to pass the ball to Zhang Zifeng.

But Leonard judged ahead of time, and with a crisp sound of "snap", Leonard broke the ball.

"Oops!"

Zhang Zifeng hurriedly tried to stop Leonard, but Leonard had already taken the ball one step ahead.

He rushed to the frontcourt quickly with the ball, and scored 2 points with a dunk as soon as he reached the penalty area.

The Spurs fans saw the cheers, but the 76ers players were very anxious, and the score has been stretched to 8 points.

No more goals, once the score is pulled to 10 points, it is not so difficult to reverse it at home for the Spurs.

Now, they are extremely eager for Zhang Zifeng to stand up and help the team stabilize their position with goals as before.

Restricted by Leonard in the second half, Zhang Zifeng never gave up thinking about how to get rid of Leonard.

He has also been adjusting his state and feel during the game.

Looking at Leonard's burly figure, Zhang Zifeng had some plans in mind.

When Rondo was about to catch the ball, Zhang Zifeng yelled, "Jane, I'll handle the ball. I've come up with a plan, and I want to see if it works!"

Rondo heard it, so he ran forward and let Zhang Zifeng control the ball.

Zhang Zifeng received the ball, and while dribbling the ball, he shouted to Saric, "Dario, let's play a pick-and-roll later!"

Saric nodded quickly and said, "Okay!"

Taking the ball to the front court, seeing Leonard coming up again, Zhang Zifeng hurriedly made tactical gestures.

Saric ran up, and Zhang Zifeng immediately dribbled the ball diagonally.

Leonard blocked it, and Bertans raised it to disturb Zhang Zifeng.

As long as there is an interference, Leonard's amazing reaction speed can make up the defense in time.

Zhang Zifeng knew this trick, and instead of continuing to break through with the ball, he passed the ball to Saric.

Then Zhang Zifeng suddenly accelerated and ran in the opposite direction to Shalili's other test.

As soon as Zhang Zifeng ran past him, Saric immediately passed the ball back to Zhang Zifeng, who cut inside himself and took away the defender.

At this time, Leonard thought that Saric would be replaced, but Zhang Zifeng ran back again.

Just wanted to mention it, but it's already too late,
Zhang Zifeng jumped up and shot quickly.

Seeing Zhang Zifeng shoot the ball, the ball flew in the air.

The whole court is watching the ball. If the ball hits, the morale of the Spurs will be hit.

At the same time, the morale of the 76ers will be high again.

Spurs fans don't want to see this ball hit, but the 76ers players desperately hope that the ball will go in.

in the spotlight.

"Shh!"

The basketball smashed through the net, making a crisp friction sound!
The ball is in!
Sarich rushed up and had a fierce collision with Zhang Zifeng.

The benches of the 76ers who were sitting on the sidelines also stood up and cheered and applauded loudly.

The Spurs are going to be a lot more dull, and their morale, which has been so hard to get up, has dropped a bit.Green was even more resentful towards Zhang Zifeng, because Zhang Zifeng scored the ball reluctantly.

Zhang Zifeng's three-pointer broke the scoring drought of the 76ers and calmed down the anxious mood of the 76ers.

Seeing that Leonard did not defend the ball, Zhang Zifeng understood his weakness.

Leonard's defense is really good. Among Zhang Zifeng's encounters with so many backcourt players and swingmen, he is the strongest.

Beverly is only serious about defense and desperately tough so that his defense is good.

But in terms of defensive skills and strength, Leonard is even better.

Leonard has many advantages, solid defensive skills, and a serious attitude.No fear of confrontation, strong ability to pit.Excellent defensive awareness, strong sense of position.

Whether it's a one-on-one frontal, or a flank assist defense, Leonard can do it.

But the only thing is his biggest shortcoming now, and that is his ability to move laterally.

In order to be able to fight against James in the past few years, Leonard gained more than ten kilograms, which strengthened his ability to fight, but it had a certain impact on his lateral movement.

If it's defending the three, Leonard's lateral movement won't be a problem.

But if you let him defend guards, especially when defending pick-and-rolls, the effect will be much worse.

Knowing that Leonard moves slower laterally, Zhang Zifeng either plays a pick-and-roll with Saric, or pulls Leonard away from the bottom corner and lets the other four play the Spurs.

Although the defense of the five-small lineup dropped a notch, the shooters headed by Zhang Zifeng fired three-point long-range artillery, and the shells fell into the Spurs' basket one by one.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

The 76ers had a three-point rain at the Spurs' home court, hitting a wave of 19-14 to tie the score in one fell swoop.

The Spurs were stronger defensively, and the 76ers had a better offense. The two teams took the lead alternately.

Although Leonard came up with a lot of ways to limit Zhang Zifeng, Zhang Zifeng used the experience accumulated in the past three years to fight Leonard with wits and courage, trying to find opportunities to run out of open shots.

Another pick-and-roll with Saric, Zhang Zifeng made a successful mid-range shot.

"Shh!"

There was a crisp sound of earth entering the network.

All the Spurs players were very disgusted with Zhang Zifeng. It was this guy who would immediately stand up and shoot down the Spurs' momentum just as they drew closer.

It was useless to let the Spurs counterattack again and again.

"You bastard! What else do you do besides shooting! You are a complete bastard!" Spurs fans yelled at Zhang Zifeng angrily.

The Spurs fans wanted to irritate Zhang Zifeng, and then let the opponent give up the shot and hit the basket.

However, Zhang Zifeng is not up to this mentally retarded provocation.

It's amazing to be able to shoot!
At the end of the third quarter, under the leadership of Zhang Zifeng, the 76ers were only 75 points behind 77-2.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Zhang Zifeng opened the curtain with a three-pointer, and Grant suddenly broke out and made two three-pointers. He led the team to a 2-9 spurt.

The 76ers regained the lead by 84 point 81-1.

But soon Green's three-pointer overtook the score.

86平、89平后，第四节还有1分46秒时，莱纳德强行上篮造成格兰特犯规，莱纳德2罚2中。

The 76ers trailed by 92 points 94-2.

At this critical moment, the 76ers made consecutive mistakes under the defense of the Spurs.Zhang Zifeng and Saric missed scoring opportunities in turn.

Fortunately, Green also made a pass error under Zhang Zifeng's close defense with 7.9 seconds left in the fourth quarter, and the 76ers had the ball.

The 76ers hurriedly requested a short timeout.

Pause back, sideline serve,
"Jack, catch the ball!" Ibaka quickly passed the basketball out.

Zhang Zifeng wanted to step forward to catch the ball, but suddenly Leonard came out and wanted to steal it.

Fortunately, although Leonard caught the ball, he was directly afraid of going out of the field.

It continues to be the 76ers' possession of the ball.

Brett Brown stood on the sidelines and yelled at Ibaka's players, "Be careful, don't make another mistake!"

This time Zhang Zifeng used the cover to cover and received the ball smoothly.

As soon as he received the ball, Zhang Zifeng quickly increased his speed.

It was blocked by Saric, but Leonard quickly went around and chased Zhang Zifeng.

basket!

At this time, Zhang Zifeng only had the basket in his eyes.
Leonard's speed is quite astonishing, and he will soon catch up with Zhang Zifeng.

closer!Catch up!
Leonard was finally completely blocked in front of Zhang Zifeng on the three-point line.

Leonard spreads his hands, he wants to defend the ball.

But in the next second, he found himself in a tragedy.

He was hesitant not to give Zhang Zifeng a chance to shoot, but he didn't expect Zhang Zifeng to play out of common sense this time.

Zhang Zifeng threw the ball under Leonard's crotch with his right hand.

Leonard didn't have time to fit his foot, and the ball slipped through his crotch.

Crotch piercing!

When Leonard reacted, he stepped sideways and wanted to keep up.

Zhang Zifeng has regained control of the ball and made an emergency stop outside the three-point line to take off and shoot.

Looking at Zhang Zifeng's body soaring up in front of him, his body stretched out, and his arms were about to turn outwards.

Leonard

If the ball is shot by Zhang Zifeng again, the Spurs will never have a chance to come back.

This must not be allowed to happen.

Leonard quickly flew towards Zhang Zifeng and flew sideways, with his hands stretched out.

Looking at Leonard who was rushing forward to defend, Zhang Zifeng looked firmly at the basket in the sky, and raised his hand to throw the ball.

At this time, Leonard couldn't care about anything else, and hit Zhang Zifeng's arm directly with his right hand, but he still ate for a second.

The ball has been shot.

The basketball flew towards the sky. For a moment, the eyes of more than 2 fans in the audience, the Spurs fans or 76ers fans in front of the TV and mobile phones, all focused on this one, which was falling from the top of the arc. The ball is flying towards the basket.
