248: Death is coming (8K(3/4)
As soon as Wayne came up, he used his fourth three-pointer of the game to tell Popovich: "You are going to use these players to defend the All-Star starting forward?"
Indeed, if you replace Wayne with a hard special, if someone hears that Popovich's way of limiting the hard special is to use Bonner to guard him, they will laugh out loud.
This is a famous NBA coach.
But there is no way, Popovich only has these few players. Wayne is too special, and it would be great to find someone who can compete with him.
You have to be able to compete with Wayne at the top and defend well...where can you find such a person!
Wayne: Don't panic. In a few years you can go to Greece and find a street vendor. You might be surprised.
A minute later, Wayne scored again, another three-pointer.
This time, Wayne was relying on Bonner to get into position, and it looked like he was going to beat Bonner in the low post.
But just when Pao'er was about to pass the ball, Wayne suddenly turned his back and ran along the baseline toward the left corner.
Gasso was helping Wayne with the off-ball screen as always, but Duncan hesitated for a while and chose to follow him!
Finally, for the first time in this game, Duncan switched defense in front of Wayne.
But Duncan couldn't keep up with Wayne's pace now. After receiving the basketball, Wayne turned around and threw the ball slightly backwards!
Duncan raised his arms high to interfere with Wayne's shooting, but with the help of Kobe's back, Wayne still hit the three-pointer steadily!
"In the fifth, Wei has already made five three-pointers, 5 of 6, which is terrible!"
Looking at the lifeless auditorium, Wayne deliberately put his hands next to his ears after scoring a goal: "Where are your boos? Why can't I hear them? Keep up the excitement, Fxxk!"
Wayne has begun to vent his dissatisfaction. You were scolding and booing before the game. Do you really think I can't hear or see?
I just want to find a suitable time to pay it all back!
Popovich was speechless. Wayne's movement just now was exactly that of a defender.
Although Bonner is also a big shooter, he does not have this ability to get rid of the ball.
His more important role is in tactical deterrence.
It doesn't necessarily require him to score many points, it just requires him to open up space.
Most of the time, all Bonner can do is stand outside the three-point line and wait for the ball. If the opponent leaves him open, he can occasionally score one or two.
Taking this season as an example, although Bonner's three-point shooting percentage is as high as 38.3%, he only averages 0.6 three-pointers per game.
Seizing the occasional open opportunity or two is the full expression of his value.
Wayne is different. He can really create opportunities for himself to shoot three-pointers, and he can really hit piles of three-pointers.
This is an ability that most big shooters don't have.
To put it bluntly, one just looks accurate but not very lethal. The other one can really kill someone!
After hitting two three-pointers in the third quarter, Wayne had already scored 22 points.
He scored 22 points before even half of the third quarter!
Subsequently, although Bonner responded with a three-pointer, the Spurs' momentum had been suppressed, and the three-pointer barely caused any waves.
Wayne gets more and more excited as he shoots. He is always running tirelessly and taking decisive shots again and again.
Although this consumes a lot of physical energy, Wayne is not afraid. Because his "persistent offense" badge allows him to ensure long-range shooting percentage even if his physical fitness is affected in the fourth quarter.
What's more, this is the first game in Wayne's career where he can earn points at will.
There is no shop like this after passing this holy village, so of course Wayne must follow his orders to get some!
In the last minute of the third quarter, Wayne held the ball outside the three-point line and singled out Oberto, who reappeared.
This time, no one double-teamed Wayne, because Wayne's touch seemed to be contagious to others. The Trail Blazers' role players no longer stretched their hips for three-pointers today.
Wayne slowly dribbled the ball closer to Oberto. When approaching the three-point line, Wayne pretended to speed up and break through several times.
As a result, after teasing Oberto, Wayne's choice was a pull-up jumper!
At this time, Wayne has completely developed his touch. Therefore, even if he is not catching and shooting, even if he is not wide open, Wayne can still guarantee a hit rate.
Oberto looked back at the basketball in despair, with goosebumps all over his body.
Because in this quarter, Wayne has already made four three-pointers!
This time, it's impossible...
"brush!"
Reggie Miller has long said that with Wayne playing, nothing is impossible.
The basketball hit again, Wayne made 8 of 11 three-pointers! Hit his fifth three-pointer in a single quarter!
Wayne has broken his single-game three-point field goal record!
"33 points in three quarters! God, Wayne almost killed the Spurs with just three-pointers in this quarter!" The local commentator in the Holy City was sweating profusely. The camera gave Popovich a close-up, and the old man just widened his eyes.
Looking at the stadium.
"What happened? How did he do it? How did we fall so far behind?"
At this time, the famous NBA coach had countless little questions in his heart.
We agreed that we would use three-pointers to kill the Trail Blazers and Wayne. Damn it, Wayne counter-killed us!
Don't talk about Popovich, even McMillan is a little confused.
Wayne is really wasteful! He takes the three-point shot as soon as he gets the chance, and he doesn't hesitate when he gets the chance.
Oh, no, this is not called a wave, how can it be called a wave?
This is called good tactical execution ability!
Ask him to shoot three-pointers, and he will really shoot three-pointers. Now, there are not many stars who are so willing to listen to the head coach's arrangements!
Fortunately, Wayne was away in the last minute, and the Spurs took advantage of this opportunity to narrow the point difference to 16 points.
The Spurs are indeed very tenacious today. The key is that they are also accurate in three-pointers.
It's just not as accurate as Wayne's.
Today, the Spurs were really beaten.
At the end of the third quarter, when the Spurs players walked off the court.
Craig Popovich, a coach who has been in the NBA for decades, was speechless for a moment.
He seemed to have returned to 2004, to that night when he was chased by 13 points in 35 seconds.
At this time, Popovich just wanted to yell: "I hate the talent of those bastards!"
Trailing by 16 points, the game has not completely entered garbage time.
This also means...Wayne still has an excuse to continue brushing!
At the same time, in Los Angeles, Kobe, who was studying the video of the game, received a call from Yao Ming.
"Yao, what's wrong?"
"Don't ask anything, just go and turn on the TV!"
"What?"
"Wayne, he's about to tie your record for three-pointers made in a single game."
"Fuck!" After Yao Ming said this, Kobe rushed into the living room with lightning speed and turned on the TV.
Someone actually dares to tie my record!
This is impossible!
When Kobe turned on the TV, the fourth quarter had already begun, and he happened to see Wayne hit nine three-pointers today.
"It's in again, Wei's touch is hot, the Spurs can't stop him at all!" The commentator's voice was trembling, what did Wayne do!?
He massacred the Spurs in front of the Spurs fans! He made the Spurs fans witness a murder with their own eyes!
Please be a human being, my Godway!
The ATT Center was completely silent. No one knew what was going on in Wayne's mind during the last three quarters.
Wayne looked calm. After all, you can't eat this dumpling every time, right?
Wayne just felt good today and could make shots.
Of course, there is a saying. The Spurs' defense of Wayne's three-pointer without the ball today was really a stretch.
Popovich only saw that Parker and Udoka couldn't defend the three-pointer after running without the ball, but he didn't see that his own team couldn't defend it either.
"What the hell are you guarding against!?" Kobe was shocked, my record is about to be tied, what do you do?
Although I admire Wayne very much, but... I feel so unhappy!
The Spurs are still struggling, and they don't want to be devastated at home.
However, Wayne still didn't stop.
He doesn't do anything else now, he just looks for opportunities to shoot three-pointers.
To be continued...
