NOVEL FROG The first point guard in basketball
Chapter 619 Duncan is not here, Brand rises
Chapter 619 Duncan is not here, Brand rises
But this time, the Dutch underestimated Brand's defense. Although Brand's defense is not as comprehensive as Hardt, nor is it as large as Duncan's coverage area, but as a swingman in the fourth and fifth positions, his defense is still good. Facing a guy like Rick Schmitz who has been devastated by injuries and has nothing left, Brand jumped high and blocked the ball with a snap.
The whistle in Crawford's mouth did not sound, and Larry Bird was still chanting non-stop in his mouth. This time he did not continue to issue orders to Crawford.But from his point of view, the ball is obviously Brand's thug. Unfortunately, Rick Schmitz is not O'Neal. If it is O'Neal, this ball will be called a foul.
Fortunately, the ball is still on the Pacers' side, and there are less than ten seconds to attack. Richard Hamilton made a big circle outside, received the ball, and shot directly from the outside. Duang, but a white figure number seven appeared behind him. Before the introduction of the video playback technology, the referee's judgment was generally difficult to change. Richard Hamilton got two free throw opportunities. This ball was shot by him stepping on the three-point line. It was a long two-pointer. This is a favorite scoring method of 90s scorers.
If they step back a bit, it will be a three-pointer, but they still prefer two-pointers, because the god of basketball has won so many championships by relying on this trick. The charm of idols is huge, and countless scorers are learning this trick.Hamilton is no exception.
Hamilton glanced at Xiao Tian, the ball just now was a good cap, but he didn't go to argue with Crawford, thinking of the previous grievances between the two, Hamilton understood, silently scored the ball, and the Grizzlies got an offensive opportunity.
Without Duncan, Brand was liberated. This is what Larry Bird did not expect. As a No. 10 pick, Brand has talent, but in Larry Bird’s view, his talent is similar to Dale Davis. However, Brand used [-] points in a single quarter to tell Larry Bird how wrong his view is. His own words, and the former Pacers leading Reggie Miller are two extremes.
At the end of the first half, the Grizzlies did not have Duncan, but they tied with the Pacers and entered the intermission. Brand had 13 points and 6 rebounds in the half, and Xiao Tian had 24 points and 9 assists. Although the Pacers' offense still did not stagnate, it was obviously not as sharp as the Grizzlies' offense.
The Dutchman Rick Schmitz also scored 12 points in this half of the game, but 10 of them were scored in the first quarter. He only scored 2 points in the second quarter. Although Brand was a rookie, he still tortured him to death. On the other side, Dale Davis and Rodman exploded each other. This was not what Larry Bird thought of.
Rodman came up to defend, but Dale Davis still needs to score besides defense, but now because of that bug, Dale Davis also went to defend Rodman desperately, which gave Brand a chance.A large part of the reason why Brand can get what he wants in the second quarter is because Dale Davis's brain is focused on Rodman, who is not offensive.
This is the most angry thing about Larry Bird. In the locker room of the away game, the famous defensive gate in the East finally realized the power of the NBA's number one troll.
"Dell, are you out of your head, Dennis Rodman is Tim Duncan, can you focus on that rookie, don't stare at that guy, I told you the task, have you forgotten it?"
Larry Bird's neck was red, and Dale Davis felt that half of his face was sprayed with Larry Bird's saliva. He hadn't changed from the thought of Duncan's end. He didn't speak, but silently accepted the other party's education. Larry Bird was right.
In the Grizzlies' locker room, Brand was very excited, but Jamison's emotions were not so high in comparison. Because of the absence of Duncan in this game, Xiao Tian's playing time increased, and the increase of Xiao Tian's playing time meant that his own playing time decreased, because he didn't need two points to handle the ball on the court.And I can pass the ball, but compared to Xiao Tian, I still have a big gap. Forget it, when the season is over, the logo man will trade him. Anyway, it is a very good thing for me personally. I have a championship ring in my hand, and there is nothing wrong with chasing a big contract. Just look at Carter and you will understand. When I was in North Carolina, I was much better than him.
"Heaven, do you need to take a break?" Paul Westphal looked at Xiao Tian.Xiao Tian didn't rest for a minute in the first half, and it was the same in the fourth game against the Lakers in the Western Conference Finals. This guy is Asian, but his tenacity and obsession with victory are not possessed by many black players.
"No, in this game, except for the regular timeout, I don't need to leave the game. Without Tim, we will play more resolutely. Elton, in the second half of the game, Dale Davis will definitely react to defend you, and don't forget to feed the ball to Dennis. This guy has offensive capabilities."
Rodman has the ability to attack, but this guy's desire to attack is pitifully low. He prefers to defend rather than attack. He enjoys the feeling of the opponent being defended by him. This sense of accomplishment is more exciting than winning a championship.
Brand nodded. It was impossible for him to play as comfortably as in the second quarter throughout the game, but his state had already been displayed. It was not that simple for Dale Davis, who was black and stubborn, wanted to defend himself.
The two in the commentary booth were also chattering. The magician was very gloating, and he was in high spirits. "Hahaha, I never thought that sissy would be so embarrassing. Without Tim Duncan, their fifth position was blown away by a rookie like Brand. Hahaha, it's so cool."
Rick Barry looked at the somewhat crazy magician and sighed. It was because he felt so much resentment towards Larry Bird that he would say such a thing, but Duncan's departure was something that Larry Bird didn't expect. This variable not only failed to crush the Grizzlies, but made Brand stand up.The second half of the game may be the real watershed.
In the second half of the game, Xiao Tian took the lead, Ginobili, Schramff, Augstager and Coleman were playing, and Rodman, Brand, Harprin, and Martial Saints were all resting. As for Jamison, a defensive black hole, Paul Westphal temporarily abandoned it. Then let's not let Jamison come up to toss.If this game is turned into a one-to-one game by the Pacers, then the game will really be hard to say.
When Larry Bird saw the lineup of the Grizzlies, a mouthful of old blood spewed out of his mouth. He thought that Paul Westphal would change his lineup, but what he didn’t expect was that it would become like this. Hey, the Grizzlies’ bench is really thick, which is incomparable to the Pacers. A perpetual motion machine exists, the basketball game is a protracted game, whoever has the stronger endurance will have the last laugh.
Obviously Best's physical strength is not comparable to Xiao Tian's. He can defend Iverson because Iverson's physical strength is close to full, but Xiao Tian is at full strength. The meanings of the two are completely different.Facing the defense, Xiao Tian superimposed the speed attribute on his legs. Then he took a step back and jumped up directly. But Best didn't react at the first time. When he reacted, Xiao Tian had already made a shot. The ball was scored very simply. This is a three-pointer. One step back is crucial.
With 27 points, Xiao Tian scored a goal in the opening game. Larry Bird was terrified, because the game against the Lakers started the second half similarly to now. In order to prevent the Staples tragedy from happening again, Bird still called a timeout cautiously.
Seeing Larry Bird call a timeout, Rick Barry immediately sneered in the commentary booth, "It seems that Larry Bird also rang out about the Staples tragedy. Heaven is really a very good guy. In my opinion, he is more like a playoff-level Wilt. In this game, the Pacers played some games. The Grizzlies lacked Duncan, but there are still a lot of people on the bench."
The Staples tragedy prevented the magician from answering the call, and he was also present at that game. Xiao Tian’s performance reminded him of Isiah Thomas in the finals. Although the Lakers finally won the championship with a score of 25 to [-], that guy still frightened himself and the entire Lakers team with [-] points in a single quarter. The Detroit Bad Boys team, apart from iron-blooded defense, the biggest feature is their tenacity. The totem of the Pistons, Xiao Tian is a bit taller than Isiah Thomas, but other aspects are very similar to that guy. Their scoring ability is not weak, and they also have outstanding vision. The reason why he is better than Isiah Thomas is because of his height. Xiao Tian, a magician, really does not have the confidence to get any advantage in the matchup with the opponent. Of course, he is not a magician at his peak.
Larry Bird called a timeout and rearranged his tactics, while Best still played against Xiao Tian. I watched the video of this guy playing against Iverson in the Eastern Conference Finals. He did have his own defensive skills, so I couldn't be careless.
The Pacers' offense still depends on Hamilton. Ginobili is comparable to Hamilton in terms of speed. Compared with Hamilton, the Argentine's advantage is passing and breakthrough, while Hamilton's advantage is shooting and defense. The two are completely equal, although Ginobili is in the second round and Hamilton is in the first round.
Ginobili relies on the flexibility of his body to prevent Hamilton from shooting. Although Ginobili's defense is not as strong as Wu Sheng, it is enough for Hamilton to drink a pot. The physical fitness of the two is not much different, so Hamilton will still be unable to do anything to the opponent for a while, which leads to a problem. The Pacers' offense stagnated.
"Pass, pass, pass." Larry Bird yelled crazily from the sidelines. However, the Grizzlies fans at home were so full of momentum that Hamilton couldn't hear it at all, and Larry Bird kicked the tactical board out angrily. At this moment, Xiao Tian gave up Best and directly made a close with Ginobili.This time the Grizzlies beat the Pacers for 24 seconds.
This is where Hamilton is worse than Reggie Miller. He can't pass the ball when he encounters double-teams or can't shoot, but you can't ask a rookie by the standard of an All-Star. Hamilton's performance this season is already quite good, at least much better than in the Wizards in the historical space.
Larry Bird shook his head, picked up the tactical board, the Grizzlies attacked, Xiao Tian did not continue to shoot, and seeing that Best was no longer close to him, Xiao Tian immediately chose to break through. Ginobili got the ball, but Chris Mullin, God's left hand, also stuck it up, but Ginobili also didn't stick to the ball. He distributed the ball to Schramff who was ambushing in the bottom corner.
"Wow. Beautiful offense. Two consecutive passes, the Grizzlies' offense is so good, how should that guy Larry Bird deal with it, Dale Davis doesn't seem to be very motivated, if he just goes to defend, then Schramf can't shoot." Rick Barry's venomous tongue began again.
