The brutality of the NBA

Chapter 57, good at summarizing.

"Jefferson has to bear a lot of responsibility for the Spurs' loss in this game. The 18-of-4 shooting rate continues to declare that the Spurs' summer signings have failed."

"The running-in of the San Antonio Spurs does not seem to be as good as the current Trail Blazers. You must know that the previous Spurs would not lose such a huge point difference to the Trail Blazers with a full lineup. There is something wrong with them internally. Look at Popovich's game How to adjust after the game."

"..."

TNT's Barkley and Smith are summing up the game.

"Defeat the favourites, and the Blazers aim for the championship!"

"Climbing to the top of the west, which one is stronger, the yellow mamba or the black mamba?"

"The supernova scored another triple-double, will Xue Ding be the next magician?"

"The Trail Blazers have achieved their momentum! They are among the championship contenders!"

Xue Ding, who had just finished taking a shower, picked up his mobile phone and saw the compliments from the media and fans.

Major domestic browsers followed up with pop-up windows immediately.

After Xue Ding took a shower first, he sat in the locker room and reflected on the gains and losses of this game!
No matter how the outside world praises it, Xue Ding knows very well that defeating the Spurs in front of him is nothing.

The Spurs are just a paper tiger.

Xue Ding knew that the Spurs were the team that disappointed fans the most this season, and defeating him did not mean that the Blazers had entered the championship!

Why is the Spurs the most disappointing team among the [-] teams in the league?
It's strange, it's not the Rockets, or even the New Jersey Nets, who are at the bottom of the league this season, but the Spurs, the San Antonio Spurs!

This is the veteran team that has dominated the league for 12 years.

This summer, the Lakers recruited Artest, the Sharks traveled east to Cleveland, Carter went to the Magic, the Celtics got Rasheed Wallace, and the Spurs were also vulnerable. When the Bucks planned to rebuild, they used the 35-year-old Oberto , 38-year-old Bowen and Kurt Thomas in exchange for Richard Jefferson, who was in his prime, and they formed the Big Four in the Holy City.

The deal has been well received by the industry.

Jefferson is an athletic, scoring small forward, a position the Spurs have been eager to fill.

The media believes that his arrival can better connect Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, which is a very good supplement to the Spurs' offensive system.

The Spurs had pursued Vince Carter of the Nets before, but Jefferson's deal was more workable, and the deal was finally reached.

The combination of Parker + Ginobili + Jefferson + Duncan will allow them to return to the ranks of the top teams in the West.

As Duncan is getting old, there is not much time left for the Spurs to relive the championship dream.

Fans also believe that the introduction of Jefferson's immediate combat power can greatly improve the strength and confidence of the Spurs.

They even feel that if they can keep healthy, the Spurs will launch a strong challenge to the Lakers' throne.

Compared with the other four teams that are also crazy about military expansion, the Spurs’ trade seems to make fans look forward to it. Artest has a weird personality, Sharks are quite old, Wallace is the same, and Magic, whether Carter can replace Turkog the Turk Lu's role is still unknown.

This summer, all the Spurs fans are crazy about the Al-Quds trade.

They are excited by Popovich's wisdom. San Antonio, this little-known town, seems to be feared by the league again like the previous 12 years.

But Xue Ding clearly remembers that the Spurs' results this season were bleak.

This season, the Spurs only ranked seventh in the West with 46 wins and 29 losses, 9 games behind the No. 14 Lakers in the West, and [-] games behind the league leader Cavaliers.

They can only maintain their place in the playoffs. In addition, the Spurs scored 100.5 points in the season and averaged 93.5 points per game. Compared with the previous seasons, the scoring has increased, but the points conceded also increased by 3 points.

This is only the result reflected literally. In the actual game, the Spurs were successively defeated by teams in the league with more wins than their own, and they won by a large score against those weaker teams. Persimmon pinch" team, which is far from the stability of the Spurs in the past.

In the game, the Spurs often lose with high points, and they have completely lost the style of the previous defensive team. Although Jefferson's arrival has improved the team's scoring, but for the Spurs, which mainly focus on positional warfare Without defense, the team has no foundation to build a team, which cannot be compensated by high scores.

As far as this game is concerned, the Spurs lost to the Blazers away, allowing the main players of the Blazers to score high points, and even let Xue Ding hit 20+10+10 data again.

They themselves are not the Blazers' opponents at all offensively.

For Xue Ding, who had watched most of this season's games in his previous life, Xue Ding naturally knew what the Spurs' problems were this season.

The Spurs' problems mainly appeared in their Dinghaishenzhen, the 12-year-old "Stone Buddha" Duncan had a problem.

Duncan is really old, although this summer the responsible Spurs boss chose to have the weight he used to maintain himself in order to maintain his competitiveness.

But undoubtedly the effect is not significant. Facing the impact of the Blazers' young insiders, Duncan can't keep up. On defense, Shifo's deterrent power has been greatly reduced.

Defenders like Xue Ding and Fernandez can attack the frame many times!It is conceivable how low their frame protection ability has dropped.

Also on the offensive end, although Duncan's strength can still compete with the muscular stick of Oden, it is already quite difficult.

As a 32-year-old veteran, Duncan's body can no longer keep up with his own consciousness.

There were two balls in the game that impressed Xue Ding in particular. Xue Ding saw that when the Spurs passed the ball to Duncan from the outside, Shi Fu struggled to catch the ball, but because of the interference of the defensive players and his inability to do what he wanted, he touched the ball out of bounds .

If the Spurs say that Duncan's own decline is an unchangeable fact, then the Spurs' internal configuration is even more unsatisfactory.

Look at Duncan's partners, McDyess is too old, Bonner, as a white man, often wanders outside, and the rookie Blair, although he performed well among the rookies, has the characteristics of strong offense and weak defense and the fact that he is too short , determines its defensive disadvantage, which is why the Spurs' defense is extremely poor in this game! !
This is the main reason for the Spurs' failure.

Xue Ding is a person who is good at summing up. He likes to study where he and his opponent can do better after each game.

This is the biggest difference between him and other rookies.

Patty Mills, another rookie on the team, wouldn't sum it up like that!

This is why McMillan often sees Xue Ding improve.

Xue Ding has many years of life experience, he knows what he wants.

Now the Blazers have climbed to the top of the West and put the Lakers under them!
But Xue Ding knew that the test belonging to the pioneers was far from coming.

A good start can only show that they have maintained a good state in the summer! !
The season is still long! !
