Chapter 22 The Spurs
"Hey, blacksmith, this is my place. You go over there, don't let our water dispenser be stolen." Barbosa pushed Li Ba in disgust.
"Little man, let's take a look again?" Li Ba stared.
"Sitting here you have no chance to play."
Barbosa really didn't dare to push anymore, muttering and ignoring Li Ba.
At this moment, Frank took the cardboard and began to arrange tactics. The five starters were surrounded by the innermost, and the main substitutes were outside. Li Ba also mixed in.
He has a good IQ, and he has no problem with English. He also read through the tactical manual given to him by Frank this month, so he can understand what Frank is saying now, but he may have poor execution on the field, after all, he has never practiced it.
"flute!"
The referee blew his whistle and signaled the players of both sides to enter the field.
As soon as Xiaobawang came on the field, regardless of whether it was an away game, he immediately fell into a few push-ups and attracted the TNT camera to him.
He is a very flamboyant person, which has something to do with his childhood and teenage experience.
His father passed away very early, and his mother, who made a living by stealing, spent more time in prison than at home. At home, he was mainly dependent on his elder brother and half-brother, and life was very difficult.
His childhood was riding his bicycle and entertaining the neighbors with the fancy movement of lifting the front wheel of the bicycle, and then he could get some rewards.
This experience has continued into his basketball career. He likes to use the most dazzling, coolest and hottest moves to score points, as well as doing push-ups on the court, the purpose is to attract the attention of others.
At the beginning of the game, the Bully relied on his terrifying bounce to win the ball and the Suns attacked.
Marbury dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, and Spurs point guard Tony Parker immediately stepped forward to defend.
The Spurs started with Rasu Nesterovic at No. 5, Tim Duncan at No. 4, Bruce Bowen at No. 3, Manu Ginobili at No. 2, Tony Ginobili at No. 1. Parker composition.
Marbury still doesn't have the quality of a lone wolf, and the first choice is to organize the offense. This is the Suns' first goal of the season. Frank told him to be more cautious and try to score successfully.
The Spurs play zone defense, and the Suns' offensive tactics are positional warfare.
At this time, Stoudemire came to the left waist, and the right waist was power forward Marion.
Shooting guard Penny and small forward Joe Johnson have stretched to the three-point line on the left and right wings, pulling defenders back and forth between the wings and the baseline.
"Ha, let's see, the lone wolf chooses to pass the ball, or shoot directly? I bet he will shoot." Barkley laughed.
"Then I choose pass." Smith laughed.
Marbury kept dribbling the ball and suddenly shook his shoulders.
The small sports car Parker thought that Marbury was about to break through, and immediately lowered his center of gravity a little, preparing to move in parallel for a timely interception.
But Marbury didn't break through, but stood up straight, and hoisted the ball to Stoudemire's head with both hands. He took into account the excellent jumping ability of Xiaobawang.
"Kenny, you won, he passed!" Barkley roared loudly.
It was Duncan who defended the bully. This superstar who had been stable for ten years was still very stable this time and did not make any rash moves to grab the ball.
The little bully jumped up and received the ball smoothly, forming a back hit to Duncan.
However, his back attack belongs to the scum in the league, with only two moves.
One is to turn over and slip to the baseline immediately after receiving the ball from the left waist in the paint area.
The second is to step back to the basket immediately after receiving the ball, make a three-threat, or throw an unreliable hook.
In short, he has no real post-up skills.
But this time, he adopted a three-threat style of retreating and facing the basket.
And when it comes to face-to-basket skills, the current Xiaobawang, even though he won the best rookie last year, is still a bit rough.
The so-called three threats are pass and sudden shots.
After the bully retreated to make three threats, Duncan immediately blocked the bully's right side with his body, raised his left hand to block the shooting sight, blocked the left side with his right hand, and waited for the bully to make a move.
This defensive action, because the bully is a traditional right-hander, can prevent the bully from taking a step to the right, and can look to his left, and then interfere with his shooting and passing. It is the most standard and stable defensive method.
The little bully bowed, held the ball in both hands, moved a step to the left after a sudden dribble, and then jumped up for a mid-range shot.
This is his best jump shot off the dribble.
In the position of power forward, players who are good at this hand, except him, are Garnett and Dirk.
Duncan's defensive attitude is absolutely commendable, a word, undivided attention.
Attack depends on talent, defense depends on attitude, that's all.
When the bully made a jump shot, Duncan had already completed the follow-up, and sealed the ball with his left hand that had been raised high.
How famous is Duncan, the best rookie of the year, two championship rings in his hands, two FMVPs, MVPs for two consecutive seasons from 01 to 02 and 02 to 03, four consecutive All-Star starters, and the best in the league for five consecutive years for a while.
In terms of defense, he was the best defensive second team in his rookie season, and then the best defensive first team for five consecutive years.
In terms of defense, the only honor Duncan doesn't have is that he didn't become DPOY.
Faced with such a strong defensive block, the second grader Xiaobawang's heart trembled, and he raised his hand a little bit up unconsciously.
As a result, the shooting arc changes.
"Grab a rebound!"
Barkley roared directly in the live broadcast.
In his view, this is a successful defense, no steals, no blocks, no data, but it forced the offensive players to mess up.
After the block was completed, Duncan turned around at the first time, blocked the bully with his arms to the sides, and stuck the bully behind him, ready to grab a rebound.
Off the court, on the bench of the Suns, Li Ba watched Duncan's actions and was moved.
It's not that he doesn't want the data anymore, he just saw Duncan's positive attitude in grabbing rebounds and his blocking action.
Now that Duncan is stuck like this, as long as the ball doesn't jump behind Duncan, the bully has no chance to grab a rebound.
Card position is very important, this is his experience.
He is a person who is good at summarizing, and he has developed a habit of reading.
"boom!"
The ball hit the basket and then bounced outwards, in the direction of Duncan and Bully.
Duncan didn't jump up immediately, because no one could compete with him for the ball, except the bully behind him. So the most important thing for him is not to grab the ball, but to continue to jam the bully.
At this time, Parker, who was at the top of the arc, had turned around and rushed to his own half.
Marbury next to him found out, but he didn't follow back to defend because the ball was still in the air.
Ginobili rushed over, didn't even jump, just scooped the ball with his left hand in the air, and pulled the ball down.
At this time, the sports car had already crossed the center line and was looking back at the ball.
"Back to defense!"
Frank yelled at Marbury off the court.
