Section 37 Leonard vs incomplete solo (4)

The second quarter begins:

The 76ers have four scoring players, Young, Grant, Noel and Moore all working off the court.

The lineup on the field is:

Wood, Jakar Thompson, Hollis Thompson, Stauskas, Tony Wroten

"Brown's full bench lineup, I'm afraid they won't be able to last for two minutes." Looking at Brown's NBAL lineup, the three commentators on the field all sensed a dangerous atmosphere.

It turns out that their worries were not wrong at all, when the time came to the first forced timeout of the second quarter:

The big hole that was almost filled by Yang has been opened up to 9 points.

Brown had no choice but to replace Young back on the court after the timeout.

Back on the court, Young showed everyone the difference between himself and other teammates:

You can solve problems that others cannot.

With an independent golden rooster shot and the "magic" of pursuit from ten meters away, the 76ers, who had a vague tendency to collapse, immediately gained a foothold.

"Hinkie, you need to think carefully about how to use the 25.11 million salary space created by Gerald Wallace, McGee, and Aldemir in the summer to find help for Young, who is still 3 million short of the poor line.

.Instead of letting a group of players who can't play in the NBA wait for time."

"Yes, they are completely incapable of competing at this level. Without Young, they would have won 12 or 13 games at most."

As Yang immediately solved the problem, Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson began to criticize Hinkie's work.

…………

58 to 58

Even if Leonard returned to the court, he could not prevent Young from bringing the two teams to the same level at the end of the first half.

"What are Young's halftime statistics?" On the way back to the locker room, Popovich, remembering that he hadn't looked at the statistics, turned around and asked Messina.

"11 of 18, 2 of 2 three-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, scored 25 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals and 1 turnover."

"Not bad, not bad. We played very well. I believe the second half will be more interesting."

The fifteen-minute intermission was fleeting and soon came the second half.

Not long after the second half started, Young noticed that the Spurs' defense against him had changed.

It is no longer a delay in the first half but a complete change of defense.

"fuck"

Missing two consecutive points over Duncan and Aldridge wasn't the worst thing that happened to Young, the worst thing was:

Leonard, who had barely participated in the offense in the first half, started attacking.

And it's a mid-range ball-holding attack not far from the basket.

"Left or right?" Although Leonard has the label of slow breakthrough speed and not flashy movements, Young did not dare to underestimate this fv. He opened his arms and was fully prepared for defense.

"Right hand!" Seeing Leonard's eyes focused entirely on his left hand, Young decisively did not believe that he would drive to the left, and still focused on the right to fully cover his shooting angle.

As Leonard completed his start, his purpose became very clear:

right side

The moment the two came into contact, Leonard chose

Pull the ball to change direction

“Too bad”

Since the opponent was not a left-handed player, Young did not pay special attention to the defense of his left hand at all.

Faced with the possibility of being out of position, Young also used his excellent lateral movement to readjust his defensive steps.

"Fuck, cheated."

Seeing Leonard stop breaking through and retreating to his left rear, Yangcai woke up as if from a dream:

It's a mid-range shot

Faced with the opponent's slightly backward shot, Yang saved it and knew that this shot was more dangerous than good.

Leonard was the first to attack, and Young would naturally not let the Spurs go.

After hooking Aldridge to the outside, he completed his revenge with a crossover step-back three-pointer.

Conveniently, the score was overtaken

Here, the 76ers' revenge was complete, and the Spurs' backhand was targeted. After clearing one side:

Leonard met Young again.

But this time there are two more outsiders: Tony Parker and McConnell

Having two outsiders also allowed Young to guess what Parker and the Spurs were thinking. He was originally guarding Leonard, but he turned around and walked in front of Leonard.

"Going forward? Isn't this strategy of not giving the ball to the ball too radical and bold? Parker's passing is not that bad." Spurs fans marveled at Young's strange approach.

"Oh, no, we are not bold enough. It seems that only Young knows where his strength lies?" Seeing Tony Parker's lob ball being hit to the frontcourt by Young's long arm, even the picky Spurs expressed their disapproval of Young.

The surprise operation surprised me.

On the court, McConnell and Parker were the only ones who reacted first and had time to save the ball.

But the height of the two...

It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Just when everyone thought the ball was going to fly out of the sideline

A long black shadow quickly flew out, trying to save the basketball that was on the verge of going out of bounds back to the court.

But his action was obviously unsuccessful.

First of all, the referee disagreed. As soon as he hit the ball back on the court, the referee called a 76ers out of bounds and the Spurs had the ball.

Immediately afterwards, there was a crowd of people jumping on their backs

…………

"I'm sorry. If you have suffered any harm, I will compensate you." Because he scratched a female fan and accidentally knocked over the Coke in the back row, Yang got up and had time to apologize to the female fan.

"It's okay, it's okay. I also avoided it for a while, so there's no problem."

After the episode, the Spurs did not hand the ball to Leonard, but passed it on once

Soon, they found the next matchup they could target:

aldridge and grant

The Spurs knew they could target him, and the 76ers also knew that the moment Aldridge caught the ball, the 76ers' third line of defense guarding the shooter in the corner had secretly narrowed the distance between them and Aldridge.

"Aldridge turns to the baseline"

"The 76ers' double attack came, and Moore cut the ball out of Aldridge's hands at the best time."

"The 76ers' counterattack opportunity."

"Young." Due to Danny Green's presence and pressure, Moore reached the point where he needed to play the ball.

"Too soft." Moore's soft and weak pass caused Young to focus entirely on Leonard.

thereby

The ball went out of bounds

"My, my problem!" He didn't say anything and directly took responsibility for this time.

It has to be said that the Spurs acted in a high-spirited manner, and when the 76ers gave the opportunity, they sent a shot with a backhand.

Since Leonard made a strike, Yang had no choice but to also refuse a strike.

Some people are dissatisfied with the situation where the two parties are constantly communicating with each other.

After grabbing the rebound, he ignored Leonard's request for the ball this time and rushed directly towards the 76ers penalty area.

But he has forgotten that this situation is no longer something he can intervene in now.

A standard blood shot slapped the layup he was aiming for back into the Spurs' half.

"Jtretire, oldan!" The victory on the court could not be concealed at all, and he did not want to spare anyone's aura even though he said it.

"What are you going to say?" Tony Parker returned to the ground and pushed.
