Matt Barnes scored 6 points and Tang Qian had 2 assists.
Manu Ginobili of the Spurs made a mid-range shot to help the team recover 2 points.
Steve Blake made a three-point shot from outside. When~, the basketball bounced out of the basket. Tang potential overwhelmed Thiago Splitter and grabbed the offensive rebound.
"Matt, catch the ball!" Tang Qian knew that his ability to attack was limited, so he did not force himself and decisively stepped out of the fairway immediately.
Matt Barnes caught the ball in the corner, then made a three-point jumper, swipe~, and the basketball went in again!
However, the referee ruled that Barnes had his foot on the line, so it only counted as a 2-point goal.
35-28.
Ginobili called for a pick-and-roll, and Thiago Splitter immediately lifted him up from the inside. After the latter helped block Kobe, Manu Ginobili dribbled through and quickly headed toward the Lakers' penalty area.
"It's not that easy!" Tang Qian, as the defender, followed early and wanted to defend the Argentinian alone.
But who is Manu Ginobili?
Facing the top five Pistons, a man who could shoot 49.4% in the Finals must know that the entire Spurs team's shooting percentage was extremely low in that series. Even Finals FMVP Tim Duncan's shooting
The shooting rate is only 41.9%, and to understand, Duncan is an inside player, but his overall shooting rate is nearly eight percentage points lower than Ginobili. The shooting rate approaching 50% is definitely what the Spurs were able to do that year.
The biggest contributor to winning the championship!
So now Tang Qian is too naive if he wants to contain him.
In addition to the "snake-shaped breakthrough", Manu Ginobili also has a wonderful passing skill. He averaged 4.4 assists per game this season. It was not born out of thin air. Otherwise, how could Popovich let him
How about coming up to the PG position?
The moment he was about to approach Tang Qian, the basketball in his hand disappeared. After a while, with a "swipe" sound, it penetrated into Tang Qian's eardrum. Stephen Jackson from the outside shot a three-pointer, 35-31.
The score difference between the two teams was immediately reduced by three points.
What a beautiful breakthrough goal! I didn’t notice it at all!
Tang Qian was slightly shocked in his heart, because Manu Ginobili was much more powerful than he imagined.
As expected of Manu, NBA stars are not simple things!
The Lakers attacked and the basketball was in Tang Qian's hands. Tang Qian glanced at the outside and passed the basketball to Matt Barnes. The latter got the basketball without hesitation, passing it over Stephen Jackson's head.
, hit the long shot.
Brush~
"What? Why is it another 2 points? Referee, did you make a mistake?" Matt Barnes seemed to think that his ball should be a three-pointer, so he couldn't help running over and complaining to the referee.
"Forget it, Matt, you've already made it, why are you arguing?" Tang Qian pulled Barnes, and then said: "Why are you so accurate tonight?"
"Haha~" Matt Barnes smiled proudly and said: "Because I ate Superman cookies before the competition~SO~ That's why I'm like this~"
"Superman cookies?" Tang Qian asked: "Is there really such a thing???"
"Ah?" This time, Matt Barnes was stunned. After a second, he laughed loudly and said: "Fang, are you kidding? You can't understand such a simple joke? You should
Watch more American TV series and more Hollywood movies!!!”
"Oh, it turned out to be a joke." Tang Qian didn't blush, but nodded solemnly. Because he was in a "different space", he didn't feel absurd or ridiculous about "surreal things".
Matt Barnes had already scored 10 points. As a passer, Tang Qian also took advantage of the situation and got 4 assists inexplicably.
Damn it, if I had this kind of luck last time, why would I be fined and deducted ability crystal bricks?
Tang Qian saw his assist numbers rising all the way, and he couldn't help but "complain" secretly in his heart.
37-31, Manu Ginobili looked up at the scorer and told Stephen Jackson: "Stephen, defend tighter. The Lakers No. 9 tonight has a good touch."
"Well, I will. I was too careless just now." Stephen Jackson nodded. He was also "Captain Jack" and was the core of the team. In his peak period, he once had an All-Star with 20+5+6
Performance, although he has never made the All-Star team, he has scored 20+ points three times in a season. In the ultimate palace of the NBA, scoring 20+ is already considered a superior offensive level, not to mention Stephen Jackson has scored 20+ points three times.
, his scoring ability may be nothing among the ranks of superstars and super giants, but for ordinary NBA players, it is already unattainable data. To put it bluntly, last year "Captain Jack" was still on the team.
The core main force, averaging 18.5 points per game, he still has the arrogance of being a quasi-All-Star.
What does Matt Barnes mean to him? Not even shit!
A player with a career-high average of 10 points per game, in the past, would not have even been qualified to catch his eye!
Now he actually dares to score frequently on his own head. It’s really counter-intuitive!!!
"I'm going to keep an eye on you!" Stephen Jackson walked over and said unceremoniously to Matt Barnes.
And how can Matt Barnes be a kind person? Hearing these words, he immediately retorted: "Start me to death? Is it just you now? You were qualified to say such things last year, are you this year... you
You only deserve to stare at my ass!"
"What!!!" Stephen Jackson is also known as the "Martial Saint". He has been a habitual offender in fights since he was a child. He has a very hot temper. He immediately looked at Matt Barnes and shouted angrily: "Are you looking down on me??? California
The water duck!!!”
"That's what I mean." Matt Barnes was not afraid. He was also a street gangster, so he directly said: "You can guard me if you have the guts? You Texas cowgirl!!!"
When~
Danny Green missed a mid-range shot and Tang Qian grabbed a defensive rebound.
Steve Blake passed the ball to Kobe, and Kobe made a pull-up jump shot. Duang~ failed to make the basketball.
The Spurs protected the rebound. Ginobili dribbled forward and passed the ball to Stephen Jackson who was open on the baseline. Stephen Jackson made a three-pointer. When the shot was short, Pau Gasol got the rebound.
When the Spaniard was about to pass the ball, Manu Ginobili used his "wonderful empty hand" to steal the basketball from Gasol's hand. After a fake shot, he hit the ground and passed the ball, and the basketball was given to the empty hand.
Cut to Stephen Jackson.
"California Water Duck, let's see how you defend this ball!!!" Using the initiative of cutting, Stephen Jackson overwhelmed the defender Matt Barnes by a full body, and then took off to blast the Lakers.
basket.
But his slam dunk failed.
Pa~
Lakers No. 29 rejected his dunk with one hand.
"Good job, hot!" Matt Barnes shouted, and immediately turned around and rushed off. He and Kobe Bryant rushed to the left and right of the Spurs' half.
"Get back on defense! Get back on defense quickly!!!" Manu Ginobili shouted loudly while chasing Kobe.
"California Water Duck, I will not let you complete the fast break!!!" Stephen Jackson also chased after Matt Barnes.
Matt Barnes glanced back and saw that it was Stephen Jackson. He couldn't help but mocked: "How does the hot pot taste? Cowgirl?"
"Bullshit! I will kill you with this ball!!!" After hearing what the opponent said, Stephen Jackson became even more angry. He was originally demoted from the core to a substitute, which was already depressing, but now he is being treated like a "little bastard"
"Fish" was laughed at, and one can imagine the anger in his heart.
Matt Barnes, who had the upper hand, heard this and said: "Cowgirl? You want to cover me? Pass the ball, how do you cover it?"
"How about you teach me?" After saying that, Matt Barnes passed the basketball in his hand to Kobe on the other wing. Kobe pushed Manu Ginobili into a three-step layup. This is
Although Ginobili defended the ball very hard, don't forget that he is one year older than Kobe. The gap in athletic ability made him unable to defend Kobe's quick layup.
Brush~
39-31, the Lakers' lead reached 8 points.
Seeing the score difference getting bigger and bigger, Manu Ginobili decided to score the points himself. His athletic ability is no longer comparable to Kobe's, but his breakthrough ability...
"Guard him, don't let him break through!" Ginobili called a pick-and-roll to separate Kobe's defense, and then took a lunge and went straight to the basket of the Lakers' penalty area. Tang Qian was the defender in the pick-and-roll, and he followed Ginobili
Yago Splitter came out and after Kobe was blocked, it was naturally his turn to defend Manu Ginobili.
This ball must not be fooled by fake moves!
Tang Qian warned himself in his mind, but he forgot that if the center is outside the penalty area, the defensive power will be greatly reduced. Manu Ginobili saw that the defender was Tang Qian, and without any hesitation at his feet, he continued to accelerate and rushed towards the Lakers.
Inside the team.
It’s so disrespectful!
Tang Qian couldn't help but feel a little angry when he saw the other party acting like this. His waist sank and he had to defend Manu desperately.
"Hot, don't stick too close!!!" Just as Tang Qian was concentrating, Pau Gasol's reminder came from behind his head, and then, Manu Ginobili disappeared from his eyes.
.
Wha, what??? Weren’t you in front of me just now??? When...???
Brush~
The Spurs finally broke the deadlock with a layup from Manu Ginobili.
"Hot, Ginobili is good at snake-like breakthroughs. When you defend, be careful not to stick too close. The tighter you are, the easier it is for him to break through." Listening to Gasol's words, Tang Qian was deeply touched. That kind of thing can be called "weird"
"This breakthrough method is unique in the NBA.
When the Lakers attacked, Tang Qian got the ball and found Matt Barnes again, because this is the simplest way to "get assists" on the basketball court, handing the basketball to the person with the "hottest" touch on the court.
Then, just sit back and wait for the assist data to be harvested.
"California water duck, don't even think about this ball...ah! What???" Before Stephen Jackson finished his opening remarks, Matt Barnes took off and shot, and this place was still close to the three-point line.
Half a meter.
Brush~~~
The Spurs' net flashed, and the basketball scored again!
Matt Barnes hit all the shots in these 5 minutes, allowing Tang Qian to "lay down" 5 assists.
Faced with this "abnormal" situation, Popovich finally called a timeout.
"How's it going? Hot, am I very accurate?" Matt Barnes "showed off" to Tang Qian as soon as he got off the stage.
"Well... Matt, tell me honestly, do you really have something like Superman cookies?" Tang Qian thought for a while and then asked a shocking question.
"Of course not!!!" Barnes said angrily, "This is strength, pure strength, okay!!!"
