697: Did not expect the Spurs to lie straighter (7.7K(1/4)
The power of the double virtue combination was vividly highlighted today.
Of course, whether you should say it or not, you will always have to pay it back when you come out to fool around. This sentence sums it up perfectly.
In the regular season opener against the Thunder, Du Xiaoshuai sleepwalked throughout the game, allowing the Trail Blazers to win easily.
But today, both the Spurs and the Spurs are in excellent condition.
Aldridge's shooting percentage is already over 60%, so I'm asking if you are afraid.
This is no longer just a matter of defense, there is a feeling on the other side that they want to eat dumplings today.
That sister-in-law will definitely be the first to refuse!
After eating the dumplings, wouldn’t the next step be...
no!
"Did you hear me? Give the ball to Wayne later. He is the only one who can grasp it, so he can't hold it back!" Although my sister-in-law couldn't play, she could still yell a few words on the bench.
Butler looked dejected, so Wayne walked up and touched Jiebao's head and rubbed it.
With just such a friction, he immediately became excited and extremely sensitive.
"Whether you can defend him or not, you try your best to interfere with him. On the offensive end, go for it when you get the chance. Don't hesitate. Leave the rest to me!"
Wayne said something to Butler, then turned to look at the Spurs bench.
The old thief Vicki raised his chin slightly and smiled, as if he had taken away today's victory.
They have been suppressed for three quarters. If the Blazers had found a way, the situation would have been reversed long ago.
It's simply impossible to wait until the fourth quarter.
Therefore, the Spurs can definitely continue to suppress in the fourth quarter.
Then, the expressionless No. 2 also stepped onto the court.
He is undoubtedly one of today's protagonists. He has perfectly taken over Duncan's burden, just like Duncan and the admiral back then.
Seeing the Spurs' legacy continue is what makes Popovich happiest.
Of course, what's even happier is that he is finally going to cross the mountain of Wayne!
A brave man may not be able to climb over the mountains, but an old thief can!
"Being trailing by 7 points, this is the first tough battle the Trail Blazers have played this season. What kind of performance can Wayne put in? Whether he will be ignored by everyone, or whether he is still strong, we will wait and see!"
We really have to wait and see. The Trail Blazers fell behind by 7 points in the final quarter, causing the ratings of this game to skyrocket.
Those who support Wayne want to see if the thirty-year-old Wayne can still fight a tough battle.
And those who don't support Wayne also have high expectations for the Spurs.
In the first five games, the four opponents were lying straighter than the other.
Only the Spurs can destroy Wayne's prestige.
In the first offense of the fourth quarter, after Wayne set a screen for Curry, the latter made a floating shot one step away from the three-point line.
The basketball hit again, and Curry already scored 22 points in this game.
He is worthy of being a man on his way to becoming the scoring champion.
To prevent him from continuing to score goals, the only way is to turn off all the lights and turn the scene into darkness so that he cannot see the basket.
Curry's three-pointer allowed the Trail Blazers to narrow the point difference instantly, but the old Vicki was not nervous.
In the past three quarters, the Trail Blazers had narrowed the point difference countless times, but in the end they still couldn't completely turn the game around.
It's because the Blazers can't guard against it!
Seeing that Wayne was still defending Leonard, Parker continued to give the ball to Aldridge.
But Aldridge struggled to catch the ball this time, and Butler kept pushing hard behind him.
Butler's length can't save him, but Wayne's head-touching kill just now made his hardness reach its peak!
Since the receiving position was a little further than expected, Aldridge planned to sit back a few steps.
But he pushed twice and found that Butler behind him was not moved at all.
This is also the embarrassment of big men nowadays.
In the past, if O'Neal and Yao Ming encountered such a mismatch, as long as the space could be opened and no one would double-team, it would be two points.
No, don't talk about misplacement, even if you hit the center directly, you can crush him.
But today's insiders may not be able to do this. Big men don't have a crushing advantage when beating small ones in the low post.
His low position dominance is not good, his mobility is poor and he takes up space, so everyone simply doesn't use big men.
This is also one of the reasons why short centers like Warriors Green can rise to prominence.
Aldridge is not a heavy inside man, so it is not a problem for Butler, who has full potential, to withstand him.
Seeing that he couldn't push back, Aldridge slowly turned around and planned to attack from the frame.
But he had just turned around to face the basket, and before he could react, Butler quickly struck and cut the basketball out of Aldridge's hand!
Butler is afraid that Aldridge will shoot directly after catching the ball, so there is really nothing he can do.
But if it's a serious confrontation, let alone Aldridge, even if it's at a higher level, Butler is worthy.
After cutting the ball off, Butler quickly controlled it and passed it to Curry.
Facing Green's block, Curry quickly passed the ball to Wayne, who couldn't play without falling behind.
Being behind by 7 points in the fourth quarter, do you think that is a disadvantage?
It's shallow, Wayne is blocking blood!
At this time, it was right to give it to Brother Wei.
Wayne faced Kawhi with the ball. Kawhi had already suffered a lot from Wayne in the previous three quarters.
As DPOY last season, Kawhi's defensive ability is beyond doubt.
After all, since the 1990s, there have been very few outside players in history who have won DPOY.
To be precise, there are only two people, Payton and Artest.
Coincidentally, these two were teammates with Wayne.
Artest: Trouble, every record has me~
Kawhi last season was the third outside player to win this award since the 1990s.
We all know how valuable DPOY is to outside players.
There is also a brush like Marcus Camby on the inside that can generate a DPOY, but it is very difficult to improve defensive statistics on the outside, so you have to work hard to improve your strength.
But in the first three quarters, it was difficult for Kawhi to guard Wayne, and there were only a few successful defenses.
Kawhi may have thought the ordeal in the first three quarters was enough, but in fact, the fourth quarter is where it really begins.
Wayne is holding the ball with one hand on the right side of the three-point line. He may be one of the few people in the league who dares to show off the ball with one hand in front of Kawhi.
Therefore, this posture has a somewhat provocative flavor in it.
But Kawhi is not the kind of player who loses his mind under the slightest stimulation. He just stares at the basketball, looking for opportunities to steal.
Besides, not everyone can hold the pretense of grabbing a ball with one hand.
Isn't Stephenson the best at catching the ball with one hand and making mistakes?
Kawaii saw that Wayne's eyes were not observing him, but staring straight ahead.
So he suddenly took a big step forward, stretched out his long arms, and prepared to swat away the basketball that Wayne had grabbed with one hand.
Most people will be caught off guard when faced with the invasion of kawaii's long arms.
But Wayne didn't panic. Facing Kawhi's long arms, Wayne just grabbed the basketball with one hand, then raised his arm slightly to avoid Kawhi's steal!
Young man, long arms are not unique to you.
There is heaven outside the sky, and there are arms outside the arms.
Wayne easily lifted the ball over his head and dodged DPOY's active attack, as if he was playing tricks on a kindergarten kid, allowing Kawhi to miss the ball.
It's not very harmful, but very humiliating.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Kawhi stepped forward to steal and then lost position, Wayne suddenly took a big step in and went straight to the basket.
With just one movement of raising his arm after holding the ball with one hand, Wayne shook off last season's DPOY!
If we really talk about seniority in the DPOY world, it would be no exaggeration for me, Gao Dewei, to call you my stinky brother.
Wayne continued to accelerate and did not choose to make a jump shot. Looking at the momentum, he was going to rush directly to the frame.
Without thinking, Duncan reflexively defended to the basket.
Although he is older, this is already the last season of Lao Dengtou in the original history.
But after all, the habits developed over the years are still there. When I see someone rushing in, the first thing I think about is to quickly protect the frame.
To be continued...
