shooting guard era

Chapter 96. The Rhythm of the Spurs

Since the summer Olympics, some people have said that the Spurs are the biggest favorites for the championship this year, because the Spurs are no longer a team that only uses Duncan to death. They have the league's top shooting guards to help Duncan.

But as soon as this kind of talk came out, it was overwhelmed by the news of O'Neal's eastward journey. Moreover, no one was optimistic about Ginobili, and his statistics were not dazzling. He averaged 16+4+4 per game, and he was the team's third scorer. .

Sometimes the data can be deceiving. Before the game, the Bobcats focused on the opponent's small sports car Parker and Shifu Duncan, and because the opponent was also a small lineup, Bickerstaff used Kapono to defend against the power forward position. Holly, Gerald Wallace, whose speed and agility are not at a disadvantage compared to defenders, partnered with Ye Han to defend the opponent's backcourt, and Blake defended Bowen, who only had a three-pointer from the corner.

Although Gerald Wallace is not as well-known as Ye Han and Okafor, his comprehensive defensive ability is the best in the Bobcats.

The Bobcats all thought that Gerald Wallace had no problem defending the opponent's defender, but he was tricked by Ginobili!

Ginobili added a free throw, and the Spurs successfully played a three-pointer.

It was the Bobcats' turn to attack, and Gerald Wallace sent the ball to Blake with a cold face. The latter hadn't dribbled through halftime before Parker came up on defense.

The Spurs were tight-pressing at halftime!
Parker may have average defensive experience, but his hands are fast, making it very difficult for Blake to dribble, and Parker is so fast that the opponent is not afraid that the opponent will pass him in one step, and he can easily return to the defensive position.

When Blake dribbled the ball to the three-point line, the shot clock was over halfway!

It is said that the Spurs game is ugly, the reason is here, they pull the rhythm too slowly!Just like their offense just now, very simple tactics, strong singles, slowly dawdling.The defensive end slows down the opponent's rhythm very slowly.

There was no time for slow running tactics. Blake and Ye Han picked and rolled and passed directly to the latter who cut in. Ye Han crushed Bo Wenfei who was defending and made a layup...

"BIBIBIBIBI" referee whistle!Offensive foul!

Ye Han looked at Ginobili who was lying on the basket, when did this guy appear here?
Ye Han swears, he didn't meet anyone!
The camera played back the referee's whistle on the big screen. After taking off, Ye Han knocked Ginobili into the air, which seemed to be an offensive foul.

But judging from the replay of the baseline camera, Ye Han hadn't touched Ginobili before, and the latter had already fallen backwards!

Flip!

but!

When the referee's whistle sounds, there is no way to change it!Ginobi used experience to confuse the referee!

Ye Han returned to the defense with a dark face, and didn't argue. The referee might be angry because he was being teased. At this time, it would not be worthwhile to argue for a technical foul. Ye Han has made several technical fouls this season, and the price is 2000 to 5000 US dollars each time. His salary is really not enough to fine him.

Offensive and defensive transition, Parker dribbled to the frontcourt.

It’s not nonsense to say that the Spurs game is ugly. Their offense is too monotonous. Bowen is standing in the right corner, Hawley is hovering at a 45-[-] degree angle on the left, Duncan is wandering in the paint, Ginobili is in the three-pointer Standing inside the line, Parker singles.

Ye Han, who was flopped by Ginobili and caught an offensive foul, held his breath and stuck to Parker, making the latter very uncomfortable.

"Why is this kid so fast!" Parker has always been proud of his speed. Except for Iverson and TJ-Ford, he has never been afraid of anyone in terms of speed, but today he met him!
Not only is Ye Han no slower than Parker in terms of speed, but he also has a super explosive speed. In addition, he is very focused now, locking Parker to death!

It took ten seconds before Parker had to pass the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili also played singles with the ball, the demon knife was unsheathed again, and the weird left-handed Eurostep went inside and took off again.

Okafor, who had been prepared a long time ago, went up to defend, stood up early, and was ready to send a big cap.

But Ginobili passed!Throwing the ball in the air, Duncan lightly touched the air and sent the ball into the basket.

The shot clock took 22 seconds...

The Bobcats attack, and Blake dribbles through the half court with difficulty.

The Spurs' defense was so good that they didn't give the Bobcats any room to run tactics, forcing Ye Han to come out to catch the ball.

It was Bo Wen who defended Ye Han.

Bowen has an uncle's face and looks harmless to humans and animals, but he is known for his small moves and poor golf skills.

Dog skin plaster defense is his characteristic.

Ye Han was very uncomfortable being defended by Bo Wen, and the ubiquitous small movements gave him great pressure. Suddenly, he was hit on the hand, and the ball fell. Bo Wen picked it up and hugged it in his arms.

Stealed!

Ye Han complained loudly to the referee about the thugs, but the referee ignored him!Bowen can always make various small moves in the blind corner of the referee's perspective.

If the referee didn't blow the whistle, it was a good defense. Everyone in the Bobcats quickly replayed it to prevent the opponent from counterattacking.

However, the Spurs did not play fast breaks, and they were still transported slowly to the frontcourt after the steal.

The control of rhythm is the magic weapon for the Spurs to win more than 50 games every year for so many years. They will not disrupt the rhythm because of one or two fast break opportunities.

The Bobcats were completely passive, and were pulled into their rhythm by the Spurs. After halfway through the first quarter, the Spurs only scored 12 points during the first official timeout, but the Bobcats only scored [-] points!

It was a very dull and boring game, and the audience on the sidelines were almost falling asleep watching it!
Ye Han made 3 of 0 shots in the half quarter and scored no points. He contributed one offensive foul, one turnover, and one 24-second violation.

Even weaker than when he was playing the Suns and Kings, the Spurs were too strong, giving Ye Han a feeling of being invincible.

"Ace, CIC! Remember CIC!" Bickerstaff said loudly to Ye Han.

"A mid-range shot? That's right!" Ye Han thought carefully about the Spurs' defense. Their defense focused on the penalty area and the perimeter. Bowen and Parker's perimeter defense made him and Parker very uncomfortable. Duncan ravaged Okafor inside. Needless to say, there is also the help of South American player Ginobili, who is famous for flopping. Whether it is inside or near the three-point line, it is difficult for the Bobcats to get a shot.

Ye Han clearly remembered watching the video of the Lakers playing against the Spurs before the game, how the Lakers played against the Spurs.If the Spurs have a sufferer, then there is only one team, the Lakers. The Lakers' way of dealing with the Spurs is simple and rude, Kobe's mid-range shot!
Every time Kobe plays the Spurs, he can open up the Spurs.

"Steve, you and Emeka and Gerrard pick and roll, send the ball to Ace, let him get the ball in the middle distance..." Bickerstaff kept writing with the tactical board Draw and draw the running route for the players.

Bickerstaff spotted the Spurs' weakness and arranged tactics for Ye Han.
