The world of basketball

Chapter 45 Buckles and Buckles

With 3 minutes left before the end of the first half, with Leonard's three-pointer, the Raptors have already led the Spurs by ten.

Indeed, Leonard's singles ability is already among the top five in the league, and every move he makes is refined without any extra moves.

So this kind of unglamorous action saves him some energy, allowing him to continue to attack efficiently.

On the defensive end, Leonard not only restricted Lonnie Walker, but his long arms and his defensive awareness made the Spurs' offensive rotation very unsmooth.

Fortunately, the Spurs' inside core Mu Xiaobei and Adelaide have a good touch today, and Kuzma and Jeremy Lin also have a good three-pointer, so they can bite the score.

But that old man Popovich didn't seem to be in a hurry, nor did he roar, he just calmly watched his disciple perform on the field.

Jeremy Lin passed the ball to Lonnie Walker, Mu Xiaobei faced Siakam at the horn not far away, and Lonnie Walker passed the ball to Mu Xiaobei.

Mu Xiaobei held the ball up against Siakam, and suddenly swung his big hand to the basket, and the ball followed, and it just passed to Lonnie Walker's chest. Lonnie Walker directly caught the ball and it was a dunk .

"Good shot, this pass and cut is really beautiful. When Walker handed the ball to Mu Xiaobei, everyone's attention was on Mu Xiaobei and Ade's side, and they didn't notice Walker's air cut." Wang Zixing said .

"Yes, even Leonard is going to help defend Mu Xiaobei at this time. I didn't expect Mu Xiaobei to do such a thing." Mr. Wei Ping also said.

"Before this, we often saw Jokic play this kind of cooperation with Harris and Murray, and we also saw James and Ball, and Ingram play this kind of cooperation. Before the Grizzlies were black and white. Sol also likes to play like this, but he has never seen Mu Xiaobei play this kind of pass and cut cooperation with anyone." Wang Zixing said.

"Yes, this is Mu Xiaobei's learning ability. This guy has grown a lot in his first season in the NBA." Zhang Weiping was also very happy to see that the guy was doing well.

The Raptors served quickly again, but Lowry did not find a good opportunity to pass the ball quickly, because everyone in the Raptors has a Spurs defensive player in front of them.

Try to hit the inside as much as possible, try to increase the hit rate, and try to retreat as quickly as possible.

This is the trick that Popovich explained to prevent the Raptors from playing fast, and it is also the trick to prevent most teams from playing fast counterattacks, but it seems simple to say, but in fact requires strong execution ability.

Lowry held the ball to sort out the offense, and Leonard got into a good position against Lonnie Walker and started his post-up singles.

Leonard played Lonnie Walker with his back, and his height, wingspan and strength have a great advantage, but this time Leonard did not choose to turn his back to shoot, but turned forward to catch him by surprise.

Lonnie Walker's center of gravity was indeed shaken, and Leonard turned around and directly attacked the basket.

Mu Xiaobei immediately let go of Ibaka and went to make up for it. Facing the menacing Leonard, Mu Xiaobei also jumped high.

Leonard stretched his arms, and began to accumulate strength after taking three steps.

Boom——

"Beep-"

Leonard dodged Mu Xiaobei's arm, holding down the ball with his big hand and making a successful dunk.

Buckle -

The Chinese center was dunked again, at his home court, by Leonard, who was hated by the home fans.

Also, the referee's hand signals that this is a blocking foul.

Generally speaking, when a person is dunked, the referee seldom whistles a foul, but this time, um, the referee may be stupefied.

Amidst the boos of the home fans, Leonard made a steady free throw.

But this ball seemed to anger the entire Spurs.

Adelaide forced a layup against Ibaka and scored 2+1.

Lowry used the rhythm change to break through to the basket, but Lonnie Walker, who was killed at the end, blocked the ball out of the baseline.

The sideline kick made a free throw, Leonard caught the ball and faked away Lonnie Walker, but Mu Xiaobei once chose to meet him. At the same time, Ade went to defend Ibaka, who was emptied by Mu Xiaobei, and Lonnie Walker went to defend the opponent who was emptied by A Siakam, who was shorted by Germany.

The tacit understanding and rotation of the Spurs' defense have become better and better.

Leonard dribbled the ball back beyond the three-point line, wanting to directly challenge Mu Xiaobei.

But his offense is not based on explosive power and speed, but uses his rhythm changes and precise mid-range.

Leonard swayed from side to side, and suddenly accelerated to throw off half of Mu Xiaobei's body. With less than six seconds left, Leonard rushed to the basket, with Mu Xiaobei on his left, stretching With his right arm, he wanted to pick the basket and score the ball.

"boom--"

Lonnie Walker, still Lonnie Walker, slaps the ball out.

"Beep-"

The 24-second attack time is up, and the ball is transferred to the Spurs.

Mu Xiaobei faced Ibaka's request from a low position. He pressed his not-so-broad back against Ibaka, punched himself hard, turned around and made a fake shot, and Ibaka took off.

Mu Xiaobei faced the jumping Ibaka, hit the basket and caused a foul.

"Good shot, Mu Xiaobei was not disturbed by Leonard's dunk, but was very calm and caused Ibaka's foul." Wang Zixing said.

"I think Mu Xiaobei was actually irritated by Leonard, and I think he will explode next." Mr. Zhang Weiping said with his professional intuition.

Mu Xiaobei also scored an extra penalty, and the Raptors attacked.

Siakam made an air cut, and Lowry passed the ball in a timely manner, but Mu Xiaobei still chose to let go of Ibaka. Siakam was not very calm in handling the ball, and wanted to find a confrontation against Mu Xiaobei.

But Mu Xiaobei got out of the way, and when Siakam made a layup, Mu Xiaobei jumped up directly, and a volleyball player fanned the ball out of the field.

"Beautiful, this defensive awareness is in place and very tough." Wang Zixing said.

Then Danny Green made a strong three-pointer and missed, Mu Xiaobei protected the rebound.

Speaking of the high position, Mu Xiaobei made a pick-and-roll for Jeremy Lin, and after receiving a pass from Jeremy Lin, he made a three-pointer against Siakam.

Raise the knife and drop it, huh——

After hitting a three-pointer, Mu Xiaobei took a long-lost gesture of celebrating with a bow and arrow.

The Raptors have not yet requested a timeout, and it seems that Nick Nass is confident in his disciple's ability to adjust.

Lowry screened around Ibaka, received a hand-off pass, took a step back and missed a three-pointer, and the long rebound was taken by Walker.

Walker did not push for a counterattack, but steadily found Jeremy Lin and handed the ball to Jeremy Lin.

This is discipline, this is obedience, and this is the ability to execute the coach's tactics.

Mu Xiaobei received the ball from the bottom corner and took a tentative step. Siakam ignored him. Mu Xiaobei directly dribbled the ball to accelerate, and after squeezing Siakam away, he took three steps directly.

Ibaka defended, and Mu Xiaobei held the ball in both hands, facing Ibaka

Boom——

Buckle!

"Strike, strike Mu Xiaobei!" Wang Zixing said.

"Beep—" the referee whistled, signaling a foul by the thug.

Mu Xiaobei walked to the free throw line, enjoying the cheers of the fans.

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

"call--"

Mu Xiaobei let out a sigh of relief, looking at the championship banners hanging in the arena and the jerseys of retired legendary superstars.
