The Way of the Center

Chapter 567: Duncan's Problem

"Lillard's personal offense is very exciting, but everyone must not forget that if there is no Ann's pick-and-roll, Duncan may have rushed to complete the defense. After the GDP shines, the Trail Blazers also did not show weakness. Today's game is no longer Duncan vs. Angie, no longer Parker vs. Lillard, but a war between the two teams! Today, as long as the players play, they can show their best performance! "

As soon as the words were finished, Parker, who was not reconciled, quickly passed the center line. However, Lillard did not appear arrogant just because he just knocked Parker down. He was still defending cautiously, for fear that the Frenchman in front of him would find a gap.

Parker didn't stop, and as soon as he stood still, he passed the ball to Ginobili.

Ginobili took advantage of the opportunity to break through, and when he reached the mid-range position, he suddenly stopped and shot a jumper.

Wesley Matthews was not slow to react. Matthews was originally a 3D player, and defense was naturally Matthews' strong point.

He sticks to Ginobili's side like jellybeans, not giving him any space even when "Demon Knife" takes off.

At the same time, Angie, who was behind Duncan, stretched out a hand in front of Duncan to prevent Ginobili from making a false pass.

However, Ginobili was not forced into a dead corner by the Blazers' tight defense. He shot resolutely, even though Matthews almost blocked Ginobili's sight.

What about basketball? An Jie looked at the direction and arc of the basketball's flight, preparing to judge where the rebound would land. However, to An Jie's surprise, according to this flight trajectory, this basketball should...

"Hit! Manu Ginobili went up and down with a knife and made a jump shot!" Mike Breen waved his fist. He is not a fan of anyone, and as a commentator, Mike Breen remained absolutely neutral. It's just that this wonderful goal made Mike Brin can't help but want to do it.

After the Blazers called, Anjie finally played a role. An Jie, who was leaning on Duncan for the ball outside the three-second zone, finally got the basketball as he wished. The moment An Jie received the ball, his teammates also helped him quickly pull away.

Now, Anjie has enough space to execute singles. The duel between the two top insiders was staged again.

Before he started advancing, An Jie could feel that the roots under Duncan's feet were really solid. Now that the game is only in the second quarter, there is no problem with Duncan's physical strength. If you continue to advance to the basket with a hard chisel, the efficiency may not be very good.

An Jie's mind was running fast, and now he had to choose the most suitable weapon from his "arsenal" and use it. Duncan sticks so tightly, but there is still a certain space between the two of them and the basket.

Anjie seemed to have decided on the action he was going to use. He winked at Iguodala. After seeing it, Iguodala immediately ran back and made a diagonal cut, and cut to the basket under Leonard's entanglement.

Duncan was a little shaken. Although Iguodala still has Leonard by his side, if Anjie passes the ball, Iguodala will be a threat to the basket! Waiting for Iguodala to catch the ball before going to make up the defense, I am afraid it will be too late.

But Duncan looked in front of him again, Anjie, this guy, he must not be left behind! Giving Anjie an open spot is no different from giving two points to the Trail Blazers.

While hesitating, An Jie suddenly moved. This guy turned his body slightly to the direction of Iguodala's breakthrough, and then grabbed the ball with his right hand and sent it out, as if he really planned to pass it!

Duncan still didn't leave An Jie, but his center of gravity was slightly shaken by An Jie's swift turn around. After all, if Anjie really passes the ball, Duncan will immediately defend. However, this reflexive reaction allowed An Jie to find an opportunity.

Seeing Duncan move, An Jie immediately turned and broke through in the direction of the bottom line. Since Duncan was just deceived by An Jie's fake action, he has not been able to block An Jie's turning space right now.

After Anjie broke through from the bottom line, Split and Duncan immediately raised their hands and forced them over. The choice of breaking through from the bottom line was indeed unexpected.

But it is also easy for the defensive side to squeeze this not-so-abundant space.

An Jie saw that the two insiders of the Spurs were going to trap himself in the basket, and it was impossible to attack from the front of the basket.

So An Jie continued to dribble until he walked from the right side of the basket to the left side, and then he suddenly jumped with his back to the basket.

Relying on his memory of the position of the rebound, An Jie raised the ball with both hands, avoided the blocks from Duncan and Splitter, and dunked the ball steadily!

"Angie slid the baseline and dunked a reverse basket! It was wonderful. In the last dunk, Anjie, who had his back to the basket, didn't even look at the frame. But this is the sense of superstars. They can always rely on this sense of smell to play Scored incredible goals!"

"Nice job, man!" Morris, a big man, yelled loudly from the stands, trying not to attract attention.

From Lillard shaking Parker to Anjie's backhand dunk, since returning from the timeout, the wonderful goals between the Blazers and the Spurs have never been broken.

But this is not because the defensive strength of the two sides has declined, but today, the players of the two teams feel too good on the offensive end.

"Tony Parker forced a layup, no, he secretly handed the ball to Duncan in the air, Duncan put it lightly, and scored two more points!"

"Manu Ginobili's ultra-long ground pass! Leonard just arrived, caught the ball and dunked! This kind of assist that is either a turnover or a top ten, it appears again!"

"Anjie catches the ball and breaks through, and there is only Duncan in front of him! Throwing? Ann chose a throw!? No, no, Andre Iguodala took off and caught the basketball, a beautiful alley-oop, Iguodala's The bouncing is really pleasing to the eye."

"An's iconic step-back jumper, in! The point difference remains the same again!"

The two teams showed everything they could on the offensive end today. The simultaneous performance of the three gdp players made the TT center seem to have returned to five or six years ago. And the tacit cooperation between Anjie and his teammates also makes it impossible for people to see that the Blazers are just a young team.

Afterwards, the performances of Batum and Courtney Lee continued this momentum, and for the Spurs, Danny Green and Boris Diaw also kept the Spurs' offense from falling behind.

53 to 55, at halftime, the Blazers were only two points behind. Ricard originally planned to use defense to limit the Spurs, while Popovich originally wanted to use GDP's offense to destroy the Blazers. But for now, if the two coaches here want to achieve their goals, they have to wait a little longer.

However, until the start of the third quarter, the situation on the court has not changed at all. Watching the two teams score each other with a high level of offense on the court, the fans can't say how excited they are.

But this is not a good thing for the players and coaches playing on the court.

When all the scoring points of a team can be integrated into the offense at the same time, it is true that few defensive strategies can limit it.

The Spurs and Trail Blazers both broke out across the board today. Duncan's extremely ugly but very effective scoring, Anjie's precise command. Ginobili made a coquettish pass, and Iguodala dunked vigorously. Tony Parker's drop bombing, Lillard's breakthrough strike. Leonard's versatility, Aldridge's stability...

The two teams played inextricably, the Spurs managed to get two points, and the Blazers would always chase them back immediately.

Anjie blocks Parker's layup, and Lillard will shoot the iron over there.

The point difference between the two sides has not changed much. This situation was not broken until the last minute of the fourth quarter.

At this time, the game has entered the final moment, and the Blazers led by Anjie are still three points behind under the collective bombardment of GDP.

"Don't worry, defend this goal steadily!" An Jie shouted loudly on the field, and in the last minute, the gap was only one goal. Now even if it is to send the opponent to the free throw line, it will never be allowed!

Parker controlled the rhythm, the Trail Blazers wanted to be steady, and the Spurs, as the offensive side, wanted to be steady! This offense is crucial to the Spurs! If the score is scored and the point difference is widened to 5 or 6 points, then the Spurs will take the initiative in this game.

Popovich also stared nervously at the court. It can be said that this is the most important attack of the Spurs this season!

Parker dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch to prevent Lillard from waiting for an opportunity to steal. At the same time, Leonard slipped the bottom line and cut in, scaring Iguodala to keep up.

But since Leonard chose to slip the bottom line, he must have his purpose. Duncan, who was leaning on An Jie, suddenly moved sideways, blocking Iguodala who was chasing behind Leonard.

"Oops!" Seeing that the situation was not good, An Jie immediately left Duncan and chased after Leonard who was running beyond the three-point line.

Leonard is very fast, and the little French sports car didn't hesitate to hit the ball quickly.

The young Spurs small forward catches the ball, takes a look at his feet, and confirms that he is outside the three-point line. When he raised his head again, An Jie was already rushing towards him, but Leonard didn't hesitate, he pulled it up, ready to shoot!

"It's not that easy, kid!" An Jie roared and jumped up. The strength of the calf muscles in this guy allows him to jump higher than other big men. Although An Jie is far from being called a spring man, his bounce is very good among big men.

Leonard knew that Anjie's defense on the inside was terrifying, but he didn't expect that this guy would also have such a strong deterrent on the outside!

Of course he didn't know that if Leonard asked Koufus and Love, who are often blocked by Angie from outside the three-point line, he might not choose to shoot.

In order to get around Angie's wide palm, Leonard had to turn up the arc of the basketball. However, the consequence of doing so is that the basketball failed to hit and went out of the frame.

An Jie heaved a sigh of relief. After this attack was defended, the Blazers had a better chance. As long as the next attack is done well, they can tie the score if they fail, and then make persistent efforts to advance to the final!

But at this moment, An Jie heard a hurried whistle ringing in his ears.

Looking back, Duncan was high-fiving Ginobili.

Just now, because he was transferred out of the penalty area, Duncan got in a good position and grabbed an offensive rebound before Iguodala and Aldridge.

Just when he took off for the second time to attack, Iguodala, who was going to stop Duncan, was called for a foul. Duncan not only scored the ball, but also added a penalty!

"I just made reasonable contact!" Anxious Iguodala immediately rushed to the referee with his head in his hands, and An Jie also rushed to the referee and kept chattering.

what does that mean? This means that if Duncan makes an extra free throw, the Trail Blazers will fall behind by 6 points in the last 40 seconds! Can this situation not make An Jie feel nervous?

"Okay, hurry up and stand in the designated position, we don't need to waste time." The referee waved impatiently and told the Blazers players to disperse.

"Fuck!" An Jie yelled, and at the same time, the basketball Duncan threw was undoubtedly a hollow hit.

43 seconds, 6 points difference. Ricard called a timeout, and the commentators and fans went from frenzy to nervousness.

"Don't worry guys, we still have time, we haven't lost yet!" Ricard didn't talk nonsense, and immediately picked up the tactical board.
