Wembanyama didn't even think about it, and directly mentioned the side of Owen's breakthrough, ready to defend Owen's offense, he knew very well that Owen couldn't pass the ball in this ball, and it could be seen from his eyes that he was going to score this goal himself.

Wembanyama pinched the timing of Irving's jump and jumped at the same time as Irving, intending to use his height and reach advantage to block the ball.

But after Owen jumped, he directly connected a 360-degree turn, dodged Wembanyama's defense, slid past the other side of his body, and completed a small lever by the way, which shows the metamorphosis of his core strength.

Wembanyama landed and stared at Irving in disbelief for a long time, and it wasn't until Sochan came over and stuffed the basketball for him to signal him to go underground to serve.

"Don't think about it, Victor, you were already in place just now, and you can't blame anything for that ball." Sochan comforted as he handed the basketball out. He could feel that Irving's attack just now had taken a toll on Wembanyama's motivation.

After Chang Tiancheng received Wembanyama's pass, he handed Wembanyama a look, with a question in his eyes, he wanted to confirm Wembanyama's state of mind at this time.

Fortunately, Wembanyama's mentality has grown a lot since the last time he faced Jokic, and he can quickly adjust his mentality at this time.

In order to help Wembanyama further find the feeling of being involved in the game, Chang Tiancheng directly hoisted the ball and sent it to Wembanyama after Wembanyama was in a good position.

After Wembanyama received the ball, he glanced back at Wood behind him, and his defense even made Wembanyama suspect that this was a trap he had deliberately set in order to lure him into a breakthrough and then assist with the rest of the Mavericks.

However, Wembanyama was clearly overthinking, and when he was ready to make a layup, he didn't feel the pressure from the opposing team's defense, which allowed him to score an easy goal.

The other players of the Mavericks seem to have long been accustomed to the defensive intensity of their own team, and they don't care about their interior being easily attacked, and turn around and devote themselves to the offense.

Having learned the lesson of the last time, this time Keldon has become more cautious with Irving's defense, no longer seeking to compress Irving's offensive space to the extreme, but opening up a little bit, keeping the physical contact between the two to the extent that Irving is allowed to receive the ball, but does not give him space to break through.

Irving also knew that a defense like his own defense just now would inevitably not be used every round, otherwise he would be caught by the referee sooner or later, so he simply walked to the bottom corner with Keldon, wanting to pull more offensive space for Doncic.

Doncic saw Irving moving towards the bottom corner, and he understood what he meant, so he immediately made a back-to-back movement in one step inside the three-point line, and directly began to play Chang Tiancheng with his back.

Because Doncic's back shot was very far from the Spurs' basket, coupled with his terrifying passing ability, Wembanyama, who originally wanted to help Chang Tiancheng help defense, gave up the idea of improving defense, and chose to concentrate on defending his space under the basket. As for how Doncic deals with Chang Tiancheng on the outside, it depends on the game between the two.

Doncic used his physical advantage to step by step from the three-point line to near the free throw line, and then shook his shoulders back to catch the golden rooster independently, directly creating a huge space for himself to shoot from the center.

The basketball is hollow into the net, and it can be seen that Chang Tiancheng can be said to have no way to attack Doncic, and Doncic can completely ignore his defense to complete the score.

Since you can't limit the opponent on the defensive end, you can only make up for it on the offensive end.

Chang Tiancheng came to the frontcourt with the ball, first observed the Mavericks' interior space, and then feigned a breakthrough, attracting Wood and Doncic to move near the basket together. At the moment when the two decided to directly step forward to pinch Chang Tiancheng, Chang Tiancheng used a tricky angle of the back to hit the ground and sent the ball to Wembanyama, who followed up from behind him.

Wembanyama chose to shoot directly after receiving the ball from beyond the three-point line, and with the blessing of Chang Tiancheng's point guard god skills, Wembanyama added another three points to the Spurs.

"It's beautiful, Chang!" Chang Tiancheng stretched out his hand in the process of retreating and slapped Chang Tiancheng with a high hand.

Irving dribbled the ball, faced Keldon's defense, made a series of gorgeous ball control moves, and then threw Keldon away with a forward change of direction and killed the Spurs' interior.

Keldon is really not to blame for this ball, mainly because Irving himself has a strong shooting threat, which makes Keldon not dare to defend an Irving with the ball in his hand at all, so he can only control the defensive distance at a very ambiguous distance, and defend his breakthrough by the way while defending his three points.

And Irving's series of dribbling actions were mixed with countless feints, and Keldon didn't even know which action was a feint before he was passed, so the defensive focus of the whole person was quickly mobilized by Irving, and then there was a scene where he was changed by the most basic body forward.

After Owen burst into the inside, facing Wembanyama who came to make up for the defense, there was still no fear in his eyes, but jumped directly, intending to challenge Wembanyama's defense head-on.

Knowing that Irving might use an aerial spin to complete a layup like he did in the previous round, Wembanyama was particularly cautious in his defensive picking. He stood directly on the side of the basket and deliberately gave way to the side near the baseline. In this way, if Irving turns to his side, he will undoubtedly eat a hot pot, and if he chooses to turn to the side of the baseline, then there is a high probability that he will go out of bounds, even if he is not out of bounds, Irving will definitely face a problem of "how to score the ball from behind the basket". It can be said that this is the most secure way to defend Wembanyama has come up with it.

But after Owen jumped this time, he had no intention of turning around again, he looked at the space near Wembanyama's deliberately vacated bottom line, and jumped directly to that side without hesitation.

Wembanyama once again jumped in sync with Irving, while opening his hands to try to block Irving's layup directly.

Just when Wembanyama's hand was about to cover the basketball, Owen suddenly received the ball to his chest in mid-air, making Wembanyama's block fall through!
