Chapter 327 The young hero is really good at acting
The Spurs traded with three veterans last season, Richard Jefferson, a quasi-All-star small forward, whom Richard Jefferson, did not perform well after coming to the Spurs.
From the Bucks, the Nets averaged 22.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. After coming to the Spurs last season, he fell to 12.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game.
Last season, Richard Jefferson struggled, and he had no ability to average twenty minutes of scoring before.
In more than 30 games since the start of this season, Richard Jefferson's performance has continued to decline.
After coming to the Spurs, Richard Jefferson's attention also dropped sharply. The only unlucky guy who was remembered by fans and media last season should be the unlucky guy who was hit by Lian Dao with a block.
The background board behind the superhero.
But of course he was unwilling to be the background board of Lian Dao. This game, Richard Jefferson believed that it would be a game for him to clear away his shame.
He said in an interview with the media before the game, "I have the ability to score as good as Lian Dao. I will prove my strength in this game."
At this time, the two met on the court, and Lian Dao did not take Richard Jefferson seriously at all. Lian Dao focused more on Duncan, Ginobili and Tony Parker.
Lian Dao's ignorance deeply hurt Richard Jefferson's self-esteem, and also made Richard Jefferson a little angry.
"Sickle, your opponent is me in this game!"
Lian Dao then glanced at Jefferson, then a trace of disdain appeared.
Although Jefferson was very angry at Lian Dao's ignorance, he had no choice but to deal with Lian Dao.
"Damn it, I will definitely let you see how powerful I am in this game!"
The whistle sounded and the game officially began. Cousins won the Knicks a jump ball with his explosive physical talent.
After receiving Cousins' jump ball, Holiday dribbled through half the game.
Holiday just passed halftime and encountered Parker's fierce defense. Although this guy's body is not as strong as Holiday, Parker's defense never relies on his body. The defensive experience accumulated over the years, combined with hidden small movements, made it happen.
Holiday never gets tired of it.
However, having experience in defending Paul, it is still very easy for Holiday to deal with some of Parker's small moves.
The stable dribble did not give Parker any chance to steal.
Seeing Lian Dao waved here, Holiday immediately passed the ball to Lian Dao.
Jefferson, who always pays attention to Lian Dao, made an action that violated Popovich's tactical standards at this time, and he took the risk of stealing Holiday's pass.
But Lian Dao grabbed the basketball with his right hand, and then dribbled the ball behind him to avoid Jefferson who was rushing over. At this time, Jefferson, who had failed to take the risk of stealing, had completely lost his position.
Whether it is a breakthrough or a shooting, it is very relaxing and comfortable for Lian Dao.
But just when Lian Dao wanted to shoot, Jefferson, who was out of place, reached out to play Lian Dao's waist, and the action was very concealed and the referee did not notice it.
Lian Dao then moved one step horizontally and then shot directly.
"brush!"
The three-pointer at the opening game was still hit with a steady hit under the interference of Jefferson's small move!
This guy is really deadly. I'm afraid this guy didn't remember the lesson he taught last season. He really forgot to hurt his scars.
When returning to defense, Lian Dao glared at Jefferson with a fierce look on his face.
Jefferson saw Lian Dao's beastly eyes as if he was about to tear him apart. Thinking of the painful experience of being thrown into the hospital last season, he couldn't help but feel a little afraid of Lian Dao.
But when he thought of the task assigned to him by Popovich, he felt embarrassed.
Lian Dao also knew that it must be Popovich who really instructed Jefferson to do this.
This old man is kind on the surface, but in fact he is full of bad things on his heart.
"Richard, don't take the risk of stealing!" Jefferson's risk of stealing just now made Popovich a little angry, but at the beginning, Popovich could tolerate such mistakes.
So, he only warned Jefferson on the sidelines.
Jefferson nodded without saying a word. He would be beaten if he made a mistake and be beaten if he was beaten. This is probably a new skill that Jefferson learned from the Spurs.
After all, Parker and Ginobili are often scolded on the court, so don't talk about Jefferson, whose scoring ability has been declining.
After the ball rights were changed, Parker handed over the ball to Manuginobili after halftime.
Immediately, Richard gave Ginobili a pick-and-roll and misplaced singles.
Lian Dao didn't expect that Ginobili would choose to play alone in a misplaced manner!
Is this a look down on one's own defensive ability?
Or do you think that at his speed, Ginobili's "serpentine breakthrough" could not be prevented?
However, no matter what the reason is, since the opponent points to him, Lian Dao will not be timid.
Lian Dao stared at Ginobili tightly, and was ready to move at any time. You must know that the "demon sword" is not a waste of time!
This time, Ginobili surprisingly did not use the "serpentine" breakthrough, but directly broke through with the ball, hitting Lian Dao's arms, and then raised his hands to lean towards Lian Dao's arm.
When the bowler touched Lian Dao's arm, his body exaggeratedly made an action that seemed to be disturbed, and directly pushed the ball towards the basket.
"Beep!"
"Illegal use of hands?!"
Making a foul? The young man is really good at acting!
From screen switch to Ginobili singles, everything was for fouls, Lian Dao now fully understood.
The Spurs didn't think of any bullshit breakthroughs at all. They just wanted to use Ginobili's mentality of committing fouls to break up.
Lian Dao did not expect that in this regard, he also suffered a secret loss for the first goal.
Seeing Ginobili stepping onto the free throw line, Lian Dao also gave off a playful smile.
Fouls! The Spurs' small tricks are emerging one after another, it's really interesting!
Ginobili's free throw was very stable and he made both free throws.
Holiday once again took the ball to cross half. This time, Lian Dao performed a pick-and-roll for Holiday. Holiday borrowed the pick-and-roll to break through the inside and broke into the basket. It was about to make a layup.
The Spurs quickly contracted their defense, but suddenly found that Holiday ran out of the baseline, and the basketball in his hand disappeared.
"brush!"
Lian Dao made a three-pointer from the bottom corner!
When Holiday saw the Spurs shrink their defense line, he immediately threw the ball towards Lian Dao, who came to the bottom corner after pick-and-roll.
Tony Parker, who was supposed to be replacing defense, was completely attracted by Holiday who was killed at the basket.
2:6!
Lian Dao started with two accurate three-point shots.
The Spurs' offense is still the strategy of the previous round, and Jefferson still gives Ginobili a pick-and-roll, and it is still a familiar single.
But this time, Lian Dao moved his pace in advance and stood firmly on Ginobili's breakthrough route.
As Ginobili hit Lian Dao's arms again, Lian Dao fell backwards at this time, and when it fell down, it slid back for a distance.
"Beep!"
"Occurrence regulations!"
Old boy, don’t you want to play like it?
Liandao is also accompanies him. He is so familiar with the fouls. Harden's set alone is enough to use it for the Spurs.
Since he can attack, Lian Dao will naturally defend. Although he disdains to make some fake falls and fouls, Lian Dao doesn't mind showing his skills when his opponent's battle letter is under the siege.
Ginobili looked surprised at this time, and opened his hands innocently, and with that little look at him at a loss, he was definitely an acting person.
If everyone hadn't known who Ginobili was, they would have been brought over to the lake by this "Pampas vulture".
However, with the on-site defense, it is clear that Lian Dao stood firm in advance, and Ginobili hit him, and Lian Dao's hand did not touch Ginobili's arm at all.
Although it was a bit embarrassing, Ginobili, whose face was comparable to that of the city wall, was all small in his eyes. However, he didn't expect that Lian Dao would be so good in defense, and he would actually think of getting in advance.
Popovich's face was a little gloomy now. He didn't know if Lian Dao had discovered his tactics, or if his previous defense was just a coincidence.
In order to deal with Lian Dao, Popovich almost watched all the Knicks' game videos. After watching these game videos, a word "Clean!" appeared in Popovich's heart.
Although Lian Dao also uses small movements, the level of small movements is normal physical contact for Popovich.
In Popovich's opinion, kicking the crotch, placing black feet, black elbows, etc. are small actions.
