Chapter 32 It's Not That I Don't Believe You

On the court, Jack advanced with the ball.

McMillan also sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly raised his hand and asked for a new tactic.

Jack nodded, beckoned to his four teammates, then accelerated to the right wing of the frontcourt, stopped and waited.At the same time, Adelaide stood in the right elbow area, and Przybila stood on the outer edge of the free throw circle, forming a double screen together.

Seeing the screen formed, Jack kicked the ground again and drove the ball straight to the top of the arc.

Parker chased after him, bypassing two human walls in a row, not at all worried that Jack would take the opportunity to make a three-pointer.

Jack really didn't shoot, but stopped at the top of the arc, bowing his body and trying to pass the ball to Adelaide who was down to the waist.

Generally speaking, in this situation, waist players have the opportunity to catch the ball.

But it was Duncan who was defending Adelaide. The moment Jack stopped, he went around to block the receiving route.

Ade didn't turn to cut to attack the basket. I don't know if he was worried that Jack didn't have such good passing skills. Jack saw that he couldn't pass the ball for the time being, so he quickly threw the ball to the left 45-degree three-point line. A vacant Roy.

Finley had found the free throw line before and was about to intercept Jack's breakthrough. Seeing Roy holding the ball high, he hurried back to defend.

Roy immediately stopped his shooting action, criss-crossed and rushed to the edge of the paint in the blink of an eye.

Finley had difficulty catching up, completely lost his rhythm, jumped up subconsciously following Roy, and instinctively raised his hand to block the shot.

"Alas..." Roy roared, the basketball flew out of his hand, and the referee's whistle sounded.

Finley was called for a shooting foul, Roy got two free throw opportunities, and the Blazers bench applauded.

Su Yang applauded, feeling a little regretful in his heart. The tactic the Blazers implemented just now was one of the high-position double-screen series he designed to help Alder catch the ball easily, but Duncan's defense was too perverted, and he almost always managed to get the ball. Take care.

Before the game, I told Adelaide that he would take the initiative to try to run back and attack the basket, but Adelaide didn't try it. The habit is hard to change.

What's even more regrettable is that Jack didn't shoot a three-pointer when he got a wide open. To pursue stability.

This is the concept of the times, like who hated Jay Chou's music style before the 80s, it's hard to deal with!
While thinking about it, Roy's first free throw sounded like iron, and the Spurs fans cheered.

Roy shook his head slightly, interacted with his teammates with high fives, and then stood on the free throw line again.

when!The second free throw also hit the basket and hit the iron.

The cheers in the AT&T Center exploded in an instant, and the players from the two teams grabbed consecutive points, and the basketball fell into Finley's hands.

"Back on defense, back on defense..." Monty yelled.

Before the words fell, Finley raised his hand and made a long pass. The basketball flew over the center line and landed on the right sideline of the frontcourt.

Parker reached out to catch the ball, rushed several steps to the three-point line, faced Webster's defense, slowed down and waited sideways.

Duncan followed and set up a side screen directly to the right elbow, but Webster strode out to take the lead.

Parker immediately pulled the ball in the opposite direction, gave up going up the line, and changed to go down the line to break through, but Webster quickly slid to block it.

If so, Parker stopped his footsteps, pulled the ball back to the three-point line, and ran to the right elbow to find cover.

This time, Webster had no time to intercept in advance, and Alder was forced to dislocate Parker.

As far as Adena's speed is concerned, it's basically free to match up with Parker in the upper-line area, and Webster rushed forward.

Seeing that a double-team was about to form, Parker made an emergency stop and bent sideways, raising his hand and hitting the ground to pass the ball.

The basketball rebounded and flew to the right waist very close to the basket, and Duncan caught it in his hand, turned around and passed Jack who was trying to defend, stepped to the basket with one step, took off lightly to release the basket, and scored two points very simply, like It is no confrontation training.

The Spurs' offense did not have any complicated moves, it all depended on Parker patiently playing pick-and-roll with Duncan.

Compared with the previous three zipper tactics, it can really show off the operation and return to the basics.

McMillan's eyes were full of envy, and he also had a little doubt, why can't his players play patiently?

Amid the cheers, the two teams switched offense and defense.

It may be because of the 0-8 deficit, or it may be because of two consecutive free throws, Roy couldn't bear it.

He got stuck in the elbow area ahead of time, saw Jack running across the center line with the ball, and immediately mentioned 45 degrees to beckon for the ball.

The rest of the Blazers spread out to make room. Roy turned around and shook his hands in the crotch, Iron Heart wanted to single out.

Unexpectedly, Finley turned sideways to block the upper line space, actively left the bottom line space, and allowed the breakthrough.

But if Roy rushed in with his head down, he would have to face Duncan and Oberto, and the scoring pressure was quite high.

Roy weighed for a moment, pulled the ball back, rushed to the line forcibly, rushed to the left side of the free throw line in a blink of an eye, and made an emergency stop.

when!The basketball hit the front basket, rebounded and fell.

Duncan grabbed the basketball casually, dribbled two steps forward, raised his hand and passed to the right sideline, Parker caught the ball and rushed.

"Return to defense, return to defense..." Monty shouted when he saw the Spurs attack, as if he had a programmed trigger command.

Cheers erupted in the arena. Parker dribbled the ball to the right elbow of the frontcourt in three seconds, made a symbolic emergency stop and turned around, and instantly passed Jack who was trying to intercept him. Stop jump pass.

The basketball flew straight to the left corner, and Bowen received the ball wide open, ignoring Webster's return defense, and raised his hand for a three-pointer.

bass!Hollow into the net, 11 to 0.

The cheers in the arena exploded, and Su Yang turned to look at McMillan, thinking that he should ask for a timeout.

Jack, who was pushing forward with the ball, also looked at the bench, but McMillan didn't act, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jack bit the bullet and took the ball across the center line, then handed it to Roy, who was on the left 45-degree three-point line, and went straight to the bottom corner.

Webster screened from the elbow up the wall, and Roy took the opportunity to drive to the free throw line and face Bowen in a dislocation.

But Bowen's defense was stronger than Finley's. Roy hesitated a little, but Finley chased him again, and a double-team was formed.

Roy quickly distributed the ball, but Webster received the ball and lowered his center of gravity, rushed to the basket regardless of anything, and forced a jump.

Beep!The referee blew his whistle, whistled Duncan to defend the thug, and gave Webster two free throw opportunities.

Duncan spread his hands to show his silence, and the Spurs asked for a substitution, and Ginobili trotted in to replace Finley.

Amid boos, Webster stepped to the free throw line and bounced his first shot into the net.

The Blazers broke the scoring drought, and the entire bench breathed a sigh of relief. Su Yang said in his heart that it was not easy.

Webster smiled and interacted with his teammates with high fives, and then stood on the free throw line again.

Boos followed, and Duncan leaped to catch the rebound on his second shot.

The Spurs launched a counterattack, Parker slowly dribbled the ball across the center line, and stood confidently at the top of the arc.

The rest of the Spurs set up a V-shaped formation at the same time. Three seconds later, Duncan mentioned the top of the arc and set up a wall as a screen.

Parker took the opportunity to start a breakthrough, but Ade was already prepared and took the first step to block the space to go inside.

Jack hurriedly caught up with Parker, Duncan turned and cut inside, and Oberto raised the top of the arc from the left elbow.

Seeing that there was no hope of breaking through, Parker retreated to the three-point line, then shifted to the top of the arc, and asked Oberto to cover.

After such a toss, Parker finally got rid of Jack completely.

Pulzbilla, who switched defenses, hesitated for a while and chose to stay at the waist to wait. Parker made a decisive stop and made a long shot.

Boom!The basketball crashed into the net, 13 to 1.

Cheers resounded through the arena, and Blazers assistant coach Dimbolos stood up, raising his hand to ask for a timeout.

Seeing this, Su Yang also stood up, ready to welcome the players back to the bench and make plans for the next step.

The assistant coach next to him, Bill Baino, suddenly said, "Su, it's not that we don't believe you, but that the theories you put forward before the game are too novel. We've never heard of that kind of offensive and defensive strategy, and you actually want to use a lot of unreasonable methods..."

Su Yang responded with a smile, and could understand Bill Baino's thoughts. After all, he looked at the problem beyond the historical limitations.

At present, rushing to shoot three-pointers and a large number of singles are synonymous with unreasonable. In the original historical trajectory, the Mavericks won the championship and changed people's views on jump shots. The Spurs' fifth championship made the dynamic offensive system and three-pointers mainstream.

But even then, the three-pointer did not become the team's standard equipment until the Warriors won the championship and 73 wins.

Just thinking about it, McMillan waved and shouted: "Su, we need you..."

 Ask for a ticket!
