NBA: Strongest In The History Of Holding A Large Ball

With Jokic's shot, the score was tied, 57:57.

Chang Tiancheng advanced with the ball, and continued to give the ball to Wembanyama just after halftime, he knew that although Gordon on the opponent's interior was an excellent defensive man, he was powerless to take Wembanyama in the face of a huge size gap.

And if the Nuggets choose to switch Jokic to defend Wembanyama, it basically won't have much effect.

While Jokic is an excellent defender according to high-level stats, anyone who really watches the game knows that even though many of his defensive positions are fine, there aren't many cases where he can actually limit opponents.

Especially when Wembanyama still has a divine shot, Jokic's defensive effect may not be much better than Gordon's.

What's more, now the Spurs obviously intend to let Wembanyama be the main attacker for a while, and if Jokic is allowed to defend him, it will inevitably cause Jokic to consume more physical energy on the defensive end, and thus his influence on the offensive end will decline.

Seeing that the opponent did not adjust his defensive strategy, Wembanyama began to show his superhuman talent on the offensive end.

First he turned and switched to the face frame, and then dazzled Gordon with a series of high-speed crotch dribbles.

Just as Gordon stretched out his hand to break the ball, Wembanyama suddenly collected the ball, took a big stride to the Nuggets' interior, and faced Jokic with a one-handed dunk.

Wembanyama's arms were so long that there was still a lot of distance between him and Jokic, and the dunk even made Jokic look like he wasn't dunked at all.

Jokic is a man who looks amiable, but actually has a small temper on the inside, and he has been deflated on both ends of the floor for two consecutive rounds, and he must have found a way to respond.

So, in the next offensive round of the Nuggets, Jokic stood up early, received Murray's pass near the waist, and then shook off Drummond's defensive center of gravity with a head-swinging move, and directly turned his back to the Spurs' interior, and faced Wembanyama to complete a two-handed dunk.

Although Wembanyama was aware of Jokic's offensive line in advance, his body was still a little thin compared to Jokic, and he was easily pushed away by Jokic.

After these two rounds, the interior aces Wembanyama and Jokic on both sides were a little angry. In the next round, before Chang Tiancheng could observe the position of his teammates, Wembanyama directly asked Chang Tiancheng for the ball, and then directly chose to attack inside, dribbling hard to push Gordon away a little bit, and then threw a backward jumper, which was also a steady hit.

Jokic, on the other hand, continued his response, turning his head and hitting another three-pointer in front of Drummond.

The Nuggets fans at the scene were firmly attracted by the scene of the two sides attacking inside. It's been a long time since the NBA has had such an insider-focused matchup. In recent years, especially in the playoffs, fans have become aesthetically tired of a group of guards and forwards standing outside the three-point line to shoot. Now that Jokic, arguably the best center in the NBA, and the much-anticipated super rookie Benyama will naturally be more interesting.

Chang Tiancheng continued to give the ball to Wembanyama, and this time Wembanyama did not choose to shoot, but continued to make a hook shot after the inside strong top.

Gordon continued to do his best to pounce, but it didn't work, and the basketball rolled into the basket after a circle on the basket.

In fact, Gordon's defensive action this time was much bigger than before, but the referee didn't blow for a foul. The referee saw very clearly that now the inside lines of the two sides were about to fight, and if the whistle was easily sounded at this time, it would inevitably affect the spectacle of the game.

Jokic saw that the referee did not blow a foul on the ball, and he had a preliminary judgment on the referee's scale. In the next round, he broke through Drummond directly from the outside, and at the same time very covertly raised his elbow slightly, pushed Drummond away, and then scored the ball with a small throw of his right hand.

Drummond also knew that since the referee didn't blow the foul, it was useless to appeal too much to the referee, and he would have to eat a T if he didn't get it, so he didn't care too much about it, and continued to participate in the team's offense with his head down.

Wembanyama even went straight to the ball himself this time, dribbling under his crotch from outside the three-point line, and then learning from Jokic to break through Drummond, and directly began to break through Gordon's defense.

However, with Gordon's defensive ability, he naturally won't allow a tall man like Wembanyama to break through his defense by dribbling continuously. I saw him lower his center of gravity deeply, like a leopard waiting to be preyed, and at the moment when Wembanyama dribbled the ball from his right hand to his left hand, Gordon suddenly burst out, directly interrupted the ball from Wembanyama's hand, and then picked up the ball and quickly attacked quickly.

Wembanyama was immersed in the ace vs. ace with Jokic, and he couldn't bear Gordon to do this, so he directly lowered his head and chased back at full speed.

Gordon wanted to get a one-armed tomahawk slam in front of him, but after estimating the distance between himself and Wembanyama, he jumped and spread his arms.

But Wembanyama wasn't your average player, and his reach was enough to allow him to snatch the basketball straight out of Gordon's hands.

The audience at the scene let out a burst of exclamation, they did not expect Wembanyama to directly complete a cap. It's been a long time since they've seen Gordon, a top dunker, be stopped by someone else when he dunks.

Wembanyama held the ball in his hand, and was a little afraid that Gordon behind him would directly cut off the ball again, so he hurriedly passed the ball to Chang Tiancheng first.

After Chang Tiancheng received the ball, he did not rush to attack, but slowly dribbled the ball outside the three-point line, waiting for Wembanyama to return to his position.

Wembanyama came to the low post, and because Gordon's return defense was a little slower, Jokic had to come over first to cover Wembanyama's position.

This time, the two insiders finally had the first head-to-head one-on-one meeting of the game. The audience couldn't help but get up from their seats to enjoy the showdown.

Chang Tiancheng knows what the audience wants to watch, he first slowly dribbled the ball on the outside, as if waiting for the audience to take out their mobile phones. When there were fifteen seconds left in the offensive time, Chang Tiancheng passed the ball over.

Wembanyama received Chang Tiancheng's pass, and there was still a hint of nervousness in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his mood.

The Spurs' remaining four players pulled away from the perimeter, and even Drummond, who had little shooting ability, retreated to near the free throw line.

Now that the stage is set, it's up to Wembanyama to present himself.
