"Dip", after the whistle, another sound "swish" sounded.
The Time Warner Center Arena suddenly became noisy. When the team was at a disadvantage, Gilgirist played such a beautiful 2+1, which naturally boosted the momentum.
Gilgirist made the free throw easily and the two sides tied the game.
Derrick Favors took the initiative to ask for the ball inside. Although Haywood, who was responsible for guarding him, was not small, he was not good at defense. Of course, he was far behind the young and strong Derrick Favors, so against Derrick Favors,
The pressure Favors caused was limited.
Derrick Favors suddenly exerted his strength and squeezed Haywood past him. He made a beautiful turnaround jumper and the ball went in.
In the first quarter of the game, the Spurs played very well, combining both inside and outside to achieve many goals.
In the first quarter of the game, the San Antonio people scored 31 points from the Bobcats. The Bobcats' interior offense was frustrated in the second half of the first quarter. Fortunately, Gilgirist stepped forward in time and activated the Bobcats' outside firepower.
In the quarter, the Bobcats hit four three-pointers, holding on to a tight lead, only trailing the Spurs by 3 points.
At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two sides was 31:(, with the Spurs leading by 3 points.
In the second quarter of the game, the Bobcats replaced Walker, who was inactive, and Sessions played in his place. The Spurs attacked first, and Mills controlled the ball to organize the Spurs' offense.
Mills was looking for an opportunity at the top of the arc. Suddenly, he pulled to the baseline and broke through towards the basket.
Just when Sessions rushed up, Mills suddenly flicked his wrist and passed the ball out. The person receiving the ball was Leonard who cut to the basket from the center. Leonard only played more than 5 points in the first quarter.
Zhong was replaced immediately, so he returned to the field at the beginning of the second quarter.
After Leonard received the pass from Mills, he took a sudden step and rushed to the basket.
Facing McRoberts' cover, Leonard directly made a backhand layup, scored the ball, and also caused a defensive foul by McRoberts.
Leonard excitedly beat his chest, high-fived Chen Feng and others, and walked to the free throw line.
"Whoa", Leonard hit the extra free throw.
After learning the lesson from the first quarter, Haywood positioned himself more inside and attacked more aggressively. In the Bobcats' first wave of offense at the beginning of the game, he dunked one over the head of substitute center Jordan Hill.
And caused the opponent's defensive foul.
After letting go of the basket, Haywood roared.
In order to prove himself to the Spurs, Haywood has been working hard.
Haywood's free throw shooting is very accurate, and this season it is as high as over 70%.
Leonard broke through with the ball, pulled back suddenly, retreated to outside the three-point line, and then shot a three-point jumper. The three-pointer flew towards the basket and hit the neck of the basket.
After jumping up and down three times, he reluctantly fell into the basket.
"Wow..." The Time Warner Center Arena was in an uproar.
Seeing Leonard's performance, the fans at the scene had already begun to applaud.
The Bobcats attacked and Sessions successfully got to the Spurs basket, but missed a layup and Diaw grabbed a defensive rebound.
Jordan Hill was not angry when Haywood dunked a ball on his head. In the next attack, he turned his back to Haywood and made a small hook. Unfortunately, after the shot, the ball was hit by Haywood.
My fingertips touched it, and the ball bounced twice on the basket, but it still didn't go in.
Jordan Hill's attack was very sudden. Diaw had already run out to support the outside players, but he himself was blocked by Haywood. He could only watch the rebound fall into Haywood's hands.
The Bobcats pushed the ball slowly, and by the time Sessions brought the ball across half court, the Spurs players had already set up their defense.
The ball was handed over to the right wing Gilgirist, who seemed to want to let history repeat itself. The same fake move, but it did not deceive Leonard. Leonard just tapped his foot symbolically, trying to deceive Gil.
Gillist.
Gilgirist was naturally not fooled, but seeing that Leonard was not fooled and that he had no chance to attack, he passed the ball through and handed it to Sessions.
Sessions took advantage of his speed to get rid of Mills's defense and pulled aside to shoot a three-pointer. Unfortunately, his touch was poor and the ball did not go in. Haywood once again grabbed the offensive rebound and then made a make-up dunk.
**Vic looked at all this with a frown. Fortunately, the Spurs are still 5 or 6 points ahead of their opponents. Otherwise, he would definitely ask for another timeout to teach his ** players another lesson.
Leonard controlled the ball and broke through the baseline.
Suddenly, Leonard flicked his hand and the ball flew straight to Diaw, who was running from the center to the basket. After Diaw caught the ball, he took a step directly across and then dunked with one hand.
…………
Duncan easily picked off the offensive rebound and threw the ball out again. Several consecutive missed shots seemed to affect Leonard's confidence. Although there was an opportunity, he did not take the shot, but passed the ball to Mills on the baseline.
in hand.
The Spurs' current offensive focus is mainly on Leonard. However, in addition to his outstanding scoring ability, Leonard also has excellent organizational skills. His organizational skills are definitely not inferior to those of ordinary point guards.
Sessions had already noticed when Mills ran to the baseline. Mills held his breath, and when the ball passed to Leonard's hands, he had a premonition that his opportunity was coming. With Leonard's outstanding performance
With his overall view and selfless performance on the court, it is not difficult for him to find his current position.
The moment Mills was about to touch the ball, a figure jumped out from the crowd, bringing up a strong airflow and hitting Mills' face. Mills' heart tightened, and he immediately sped up his movements.
Okay, finally felt the temperature of the basketball, Mills shouted in his heart. When his fingertips touched the ball, his heart was filled with excitement.
But the moment his hand touched the ball, his fingers suddenly hurt, and the ball was quickly snatched away.
The moment Sessions stole the ball, Leonard reacted quickly and immediately stepped forward to defend Sessions. However, his speed was slower than Sessions, and Sessions passed halftime first.
However, Leonard did not give up!
The three-point line and the free throw line flashed by before his eyes. He glanced at Mills, who had already positioned himself on defense. Sessions roared, sped up, and passed Mills in a different direction.
Although he got rid of Mills' defense, it also cost him a little time.
Sessions' body quickly rose into the air, preparing for a layup.
However, the moment the ball was released, the basketball was hit hard on the backboard.
Pinboard hat!
Sessions took a closer look, Leonard?!
Yes, it's Leonard!
Everyone took a breath, including Sessions.
Having failed to catch up with Sessions before, Leonard did not give up and still tried his best to catch up. Fortunately, Mills blocked Sessions and cost him some time, giving Leonard time to catch up.
Come up here and give Sessions this nailboard hat.
After Leonard blocked the shot, he directly grabbed the defensive rebound, then dribbled the ball and quickly attacked the Spurs half.
In the first few minutes of the second quarter, the Spurs, led by Leonard, played an outstanding performance and expanded the score gap to double digits in one fell swoop.
At this moment, based on the need to rotate the lineup, **Vic called a timeout. Now, the Spurs lead the opponent Bobcats by 11 points at 41:30.
This is fortunate to have the explosive Haywood. Without Haywood, the Bobcats will fall even further behind.
After the timeout, the Spurs replaced Chen Feng, replaced Mills, Wesley Johnson replaced Leonard, and Derrick Favors replaced Jordan Hill.
The Bobcats also replaced Sessions with Walker, and Haywood was also replaced by Desangana-Diop.
With the help of Derek Favors' screen, Chen Feng went directly to the basket. He saw that only Desangana Diop was in front of him, and he was paying attention to Duncan next to him. Therefore, when Chen Feng went to the basket, he did not
Instead of staying, Chen Feng suddenly kicked off the ground with his legs, raised his right hand holding the ball high, and after flying for a certain distance, he stretched his whole body and used all the strength of his upper body to slam the ball down, fully demonstrating Chen Feng's
Physical agility and jumping ability.
"Beautiful." Xu Jicheng praised it in the live broadcast room of the Imperial Court Radio 5 on the other side of the ocean.
Among the fans in the Time Warner Center Arena, many fans cheered for Chen Feng's goal.
After high-fiving Derrick Favors in celebration, Chen Feng and his teammates immediately retreated to defend.
Eduardo Najera moved to the outside to cover, and McRoberts also slipped out of the outside. Duncan did not stick to McRoberts, and with Eduardo Najera's screen, McRoberts was very relaxed.
He shook off Duncan's follow-up defense and pulled him to the other side of the three-point line.
"Huh? You want to shoot a three-pointer? I won't guard you, just shoot it!" Duncan said nonchalantly.
However, the next moment, Duncan was shocked and his eyes were even bigger than bull's eyes.
After McRoberts reached the other side of the three-point line, Walker, who was in possession of the ball, passed the ball to him. After receiving the ball, McRoberts did not make any pause, raised his hand and dropped the knife, and shot out the three-pointer.
Just listen to the sound of "swish", and the ball hits the nest.
"Pay attention to the defense." **Vicci shouted to the court.
Duncan nodded expressionlessly and then served from the baseline.
In fact, Duncan was careless with this goal. Although McRoberts is a power forward, his career three-point shooting percentage has reached 33, which cannot be underestimated at all.
Chen Feng organized the offense and passed McGrady through the air for a layup.
For the Bobcats, Desangana-Diop made a high jump shot, but due to Duncan's interference, the shot missed and the rebound was grabbed by Chen Feng.
After Chen Feng grabbed the rebound, he rushed towards the opponent's half. Behind him were Eduardo Najera and Walker, who was holding back his anger. They clenched their teeth and clung to Chen Feng.
Obviously he doesn’t want him to break into a fast break easily. (To be continued.)
