The Way of the Center

Remember【】in a second, providing you with wonderful novels to read.

Parker and Green, Angie and Aldridge. These four people have completely become the leaders of this game. After the first half of the game, people may marvel at Ginobili's serpentine breakthrough, or applaud Iguodala's occasional wonderful pass. But to say that the most impressive is Parker's throw, Green's three-pointer, Anjie's singles with the ball, and Aldridge's desperately stable turnaround jumper.

Returning to the dressing room at half-time, Ricard did not blame the players for his team falling behind. He can see that it is very difficult for the Spurs to maintain their advantage now. After all, the Trail Blazers' ability to play protracted games is stronger than that of the Spurs.

Danny Green will lose his sight outside the three-point line sooner or later due to fatigue, and Parker, who is not young anymore, cannot make every breakthrough as fast as lightning. As long as the game continues to drag on like this, sooner or later the situation will be in the hands of the Trail Blazers.

Ricard gave the panting players a five-minute break before speaking. "The performance in the first half of the game was good. This is the hard work that a championship team should show!"

"Batum, at the beginning of the second half, you go up to the third position, Andre, I want you to be inseparable from Danny Green. Miller, I will let you play first later, Popovich can't use it Leonard is here to defend you. At that time, I hope you can organize the team's offense in an orderly manner. Don't worry about Damien, when the Spurs start to rotate, you will go up and attack me hard! As for Ann And LaMarcus..." Ricard stopped writing and drawing on the tactical board, looked up, and glanced at Anjie and Aldridge, the two first-half game savers. The team's big man.

"Continue to attack and cooperate more. The Spurs' inside line is not an obstacle to you. If you continue to dig inside, their defense will be dug out sooner or later!"

After that, Ricard and Divac began to arrange some detailed arrangements. An Jie has been taking deep breaths, hoping that he can recover as much as possible. The intensity of playing against the Spurs far exceeded An Jie's expectations. He must seize every minute and every second of rest. In the second half, there will be more intense battles waiting for him.

"Danny Green catches the ball and shoots! Andre Iguodala almost seals Green's face! Incredible! Basketball again! Three points, Danny Green's fifth three-pointer in this game. He It is not an opportunity, but it is transferred to score!"

Iguodala punched hard unwillingly. Green, who had been silent for several minutes after the start of the second half, was still able to make a shot in this stalking defense.

This once little-known guard, this series is almost like Ray Allen possessed. Due to the rise of Lillard,

Iguodala, who has completely treated himself as a role player this season, was selected to the NBA's first defensive team with Anjie this year. Even LeBron James can only be squeezed into the second team by Iguodala.

It can also be seen from this that Iguodala's deterrence and role on the defensive end are huge. However, Danny Green's shot is like throwing a pebble into the ocean. No matter how he defends, he can score goals.

Popovich may not like the rationality of Green's shot, but when the inside line is completely locked by the Blazers and even Duncan can't score efficiently, the Spurs really need this kind of ball to bite the game.

Five minutes into the third quarter, and with this three-pointer, the Spurs overtook the Blazers by two points, and this is the tenth time the two sides have taken the lead alternately today.

"Don't worry, let's attack back, attack back!" Ricard clapped his hands on the sidelines. In this kind of high-level competition, it is normal for whoever is ahead and who is behind. The most important thing is to be able to bite the rhythm of the game and not be hit by the opponent's offensive climax.

With the old Miller on the field to grasp the rhythm, the Trail Blazers did not become impatient because they fell behind again. As Rickard said, Popovich can't waste a Leonard to defend the old Miller. Therefore, the old Miller can also organize the offense as he pleases.

He first waited for his teammates to settle in the high position. After Aldridge raised the pick-and-roll, Miller just moved.

Despite the pick-and-roll, Miller's sluggish footwork doesn't put too much pressure on the Spurs' defense. However, Miller's purpose of calling the pick-and-roll was not to break through himself. He suddenly hit the ground and let Aldridge, who cut inside, receive the basketball.

Splitter was thrown aside by Alder in an instant, Duncan had to defend the basket, and at the same time Anjie withdrew to the middle distance.

There is no doubt that Aldridge passed the ball on the drive. Duncan, who was defending the basket, had no time to pounce on Anjie again. Although Parker tried his best to interfere, the Frenchman couldn't block Anjie's sight at all.

After a steady mid-range shot, An Jie scored another goal, and the two sides also tied again.

After another fight back and forth, neither of the two sides could take advantage of it. This is also the epitome of the third quarter of the game so far. The Spurs and the Trail Blazers have nothing to do with each other.

The two sides played back and forth like this until the end of the third quarter. The Trail Blazers took a temporary lead by one point by virtue of "French Pippen" Batum's three-pointer at the buzzer.

Now both Popovich and Ricard are very headaches. The offense of the two teams is no problem. In the third quarter, the fans even saw the Spurs and their opponents in a rare battle.

The biggest problem is defense. Neither the Blazers nor the Spurs could effectively contain the opponent's offense. In other words, in the fourth quarter, whoever can take the lead in controlling the defensive initiative may become the final winner!

The benches on both sides of the stadium are in full swing for the final deployment, and the fans are cheering for their team with uninterrupted cheers.

As the game deepened, the two sides fought more and more fiercely.

Fouls caused by all kinds of fierce contact, ground saves, tough defense... These things came very frequently in the fourth quarter.

For the fans, this game is getting better and better. But for players, this game is getting more and more difficult to play.

In order to protect An Jie, but also to allow An Jie to exert his full strength at the last moment. Ricard replaced him after three minutes in the fourth quarter. However, due to Aldridge's brave performance on the court, the Spurs did not take advantage of it.

But Duncan, "Stone Buddha" took advantage of Anjie's absence and scored two goals. But Duncan has always been at this age, and it is impossible for Popovich to let him play for too long. After playing for a few minutes more than Angel, Popovich also took Duncan down.

Now, everyone knows that when these two giants play again, it will be the decisive moment between the Spurs and the Blazers!

"Boom!" Aldridge broke through for a layup, and Boris Diaw slammed the elegant forward from behind. There is no way, Aldridge has scored 23 points in this game, it is impossible for Dior to just indulge Aldridge like this.

Aldridge fell out of the bottom line, and it didn't look like it was light.

"Beep beep beep beep!" The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and the fans booed deafeningly. The referee was under a lot of pressure and the game was on the verge of getting out of control.

In the end, the referee only awarded Diaw a common shooting foul. Aldridge goes to the free throw line, but it's clear the Blazers won't be happy with that result.

"Damn it, the Spurs have already started to do whatever they can!" Ricard knew the Spurs' style. In order to win, these guys will do anything. I think of the "thug" Bruce Bowen who was next to Popovich back then, and I don't know how many stars he has deflated.

But now, Dior, who looks harmless to humans and animals, is by no means a good stubble.

"An Jie, An Jie! Come on, you know what to do, win the game!" Ricard didn't continue wasting words with the referee, he immediately grabbed An Jie and pushed his last hope onto the field.

"Boom!" Seeing An Jie stand up from the bench, the entire Moda Center erupted. Even Catherine yelled loudly.

"Tim! We must win!" Seeing that Rickard made a move, Popovich also played his biggest trump card.

When Aldridge's first free throw is made, the decisive battle between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers will officially begin!

An Jie stepped onto the field, and on the other end, Duncan also took off his training uniform. The two looked at each other and clenched their fists.

In the second free throw, Aldridge failed to make a rare shot. In order to withstand the pressure during the time when Anjie was off the court, Aldridge's physical strength was almost exhausted.

During the retreat, Anjie patted Aldridge on the back lightly. "You've done a great job, man. Next, leave the game to me!"

Aldridge smiled, and he knew that his efforts would not be in vain! As long as you can persist until Anjie plays, everything will be completely different!

At four minutes and thirty seconds, the Portland Trail Blazers and the San Antonio Spurs tied. Tony Parker, who has scored 18 points in this game, is controlling the ball and attacking the Trail Blazers' half court, and the stone-like man's eyes have also become very scorching.

An Jie knew this look. When the Spurs defeated the Thunder a few days ago, Duncan hugged Ginobili with this look at that time! Duncan, who usually looks like a paralyzed face, now has the words "desire to win" printed on his face. It can also be seen from this that Duncan wants to win today!

An Jie bent his knees and looked ahead intently. It was another tug of war with the Spurs, but as usual, this time, Anjie did not intend to lose!

Come on, Tim. The fight you long for, I give it to you now! Mobile phone users please browse and read for a better reading experience.
