327 Chapter 326: Believe it or not, I can make you lose a point(2/2)
If Duncan can't catch the ball, what's the use of having strong finishing ability?
Shay received his fourth steal of the game. After his feet landed, he directly passed the ball from behind with his side facing the basket, sending the ball to the frontcourt quickly and accurately.
After Billups received the basketball, he took the initiative to challenge the young general beside him to push him away, and then successfully scored a goal with a layup for a civilian.
The score difference is reduced to 11 points!
When Duncan can't solve the problem, the Spurs will start to move towards the abyss step by step!
In the next round, in order to solve the problem of not being able to get the ball in the low post, Duncan had to run directly to the high post to catch the ball, and the general dropped to the low post to contain Shay.
In the high position today, Duncan also scored a lot of points.
As a result, as soon as Duncan received the basketball, Billups and Stephen Jackson immediately flanked him before he could make any moves!
The two of them have been waiting at the edge of the penalty area. As soon as Duncan receives the ball, they can immediately surround him!
But Duncan didn't hesitate at all. When faced with a double team, he didn't even look at the basket and passed it directly to the young general who was left open, without wasting any time.
In fact, before Duncan received the ball, he already had a plan for all subsequent actions in his mind. There is only one principle: the ball must not be dead! The team's offensive operation must not be allowed to stagnate!
This is probably the biggest difference between top insiders like the idiot and 226. 226's ability to handle the ball when faced with double teams is far inferior to these top insiders.
Don't look at 226, there is also such a cool operation as passing the ball behind the head to assist, but it is just a flash in the pan.
Therefore, 226 can only exist as an "end point" all year round and cannot truly assume the role of the core of tactics.
Fortunately, 226 in history also developed excellent ball-handling abilities at Georgetown University.
Billups tried his best to save the ball, but it only slightly interfered with the young general's shooting. Duncan's ability to quickly transfer the ball gave his teammates a chance to take action.
Can.
The young general's three-pointer missed the frame!
More than three quarters of hand-to-hand combat had already devoured the Spurs' outside touch. Now, even in the face of slight interference, it would be difficult for the young general to score again.
Moreover, this season the Spurs only averaged 3.7 three-pointers per game.
Even in this era where three-pointers are not popular, the Spurs only rank sixth from the bottom in the league in three-pointers per game.
Do you expect them to kill the game with three points? At least it's impossible today!
Carlisle made the right bet!
He would rather let others make long shots than force Duncan to pass the ball.
Facts have proved that his choice is extremely correct!
The basketball came out of the basket. Mutombo flew to protect the backboard, then waved his violent elbows stained with blood, clearing the surrounding area and firmly holding the ball!
The Spurs' attempt to narrow the point difference to single digits completely failed!
Now Duncan can't catch the ball in the low post, and he will be pinched when he catches the ball in the high post. He is helpless.
And the whole world knows that Shay, a cruel guy, will never let go of any opportunity to add insult to injury!
The twin towers retreated immediately to fill the restricted area.
This time on defense, the general simply didn't care much about Stephen Jackson, who kept running around.
He must not let Shea score easily again, nor let Shea open the score!
Seeing this situation, Shay called a pick-and-roll and asked Mutombo to come out and cover for himself.
Now, Duncan had to follow him out of the penalty area.
Although zone defense is allowed this season, Duncan doesn't have to be with his opponent all the time.
But Shea's mid-range threat is too great. If Duncan doesn't follow up, Shea will be a wide-open mid-range shot after the pick-and-roll.
Therefore, Duncan must follow him out and help defend Shay at any time.
As soon as Duncan followed him out, it was like the admiral was alone in the guard box again!
As long as Duncan and General aren't in the three-second zone at the same time, Shay has the confidence to attack the basket.
He did exactly that. After taking advantage of the screen, Shea shook off Pippen. Facing Duncan's switch, Shea paused deliberately and glanced at the basket, as if he was about to make a sudden jump shot.
Although Duncan was not directly knocked away, he hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to step up to interfere with the shot or keep a distance to prevent a breakthrough.
Just when Duncan was hesitating, Shay suddenly accelerated again and passed by him!
This is the first head-to-head confrontation between this new generation of supernovas and Shay, the older generation of supernovas. Judging from the result, Shay is the winner!
Shea broke into the penalty area from the side, with Pippen and Duncan chasing behind him, and the Admiral was adjusting the angle to block Shea.
In the end, Shay resolutely chose to jump for a layup under the siege of three people.
Facing the arms that covered the basket airtight, Shea curled up in the air, pulled the ball into his arms, and then after avoiding the block, he stretched his hands to the other side of the basket.
, with a flexible movement of his wrist and fingers, he continued to score goals despite being surrounded by many people from the Spurs!
Shay scored his 34th personal point! Leading the Lakers to a 13-point lead!
His firepower today is simply unmatched!
Popovich no longer knows what to do. Shea is in such good condition today, but the Spurs' offense has encountered problems. If this continues, the No. 1 ranking in the Western Conference may be thrown into garbage time!
Actually, that's what Shay thinks!
He wants to completely tear away the so-called dignity of the No. 1 team in the Western Conference! Give them a bloody defeat!
So after scoring this time, Shea finally said the first trash talk of the day to Duncan:
"Hey Shifo, I can score goals on your head as I want. But it's nothing. Do you believe it, we can also prevent you from scoring a single point~"
Shay is not bragging. He knows very well that as long as this strategy continues to be implemented, Duncan may not get a single point!
Because in the 2005 Finals, the Pistons relied on the entire team to shrink the edge of the penalty area. As soon as Duncan got the ball, at least three people would double-team him. This restricted Duncan to only score 20.6 points with an ultra-low shooting rate of 41.9% in the entire series! That's it!
Limit Duncan to death!
The reason why the Spurs were able to win the Finals was that Ginobili, Horry and Bowen's three-pointers exploded. The Spurs made 51 three-pointers in the entire series, while the Pistons only made 18.
This powerful three-point firepower made the Pistons' double-team tactics pay a huge price.
But today's Spurs don't have such a strong three-point ability! Therefore, Shea guarantees that Duncan will be cornered!
Facing Shay's trash talk, Duncan didn't give any reaction. But Shay knew that the huge pressure and his own provocation must have caused Duncan's pressure to soar.
The most stable player in history? No. 1 in the Western Conference in the regular season?
