Chapter 33 Expanding Advantages
After knowing the reason, Ginobili also understood why Huang Jun stole his ball, and secretly advised himself in his heart that he must pay attention to the next game.
However, he has been used to this European step for many years. Some habits will not get used to it for a while, or he will not use that European step in the next time. As long as he uses it, Huang Jun will find his weakness, so as long as he uses Ginobili's mistakes, it will inevitably increase. I don't know if he dares to do it next. I dare not use it. This is undoubtedly a challenge in my heart.
Parker held the ball, faced Huang Jun's defense, and continuously changed direction, and never got rid of Huang Jun's defense. At this time, Parker also knew how good the opponent's defense was. However, it was obviously impossible for him to give up, and then he called a block cover and barely passed Huang Jun's defense.
Huang Jun hurriedly caught up, but Parker's speed was indeed very fast. After passing Huang Jun, he went straight to the inside line without stopping, and the men who made up for the defense did not react in the first time, but were directly passed. Parker's speed drifted like a gust of wind in the eyes of the inside players.
When Huang Jun caught up from behind, it was too late. He sent Parker to complete a throw again in front of the Cavaliers players with his own eyes. It can be said to stop the bleeding. At present, the Spurs are still four points behind the Cavaliers. Let's see if the Spurs can adjust their state through this ball next.
At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers scored 75 to 70. At the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers finally led the Spurs by five points. The Cavaliers kept the current weak lead.
Huang Jun is undoubtedly an absolute hero during this period of time. In the last four minutes, he led the Cavaliers to establish an advantage in the score. Although the advantage of five points is not much, it is also very good. You know, the opponent Spurs is a championship-level team, and it is very good to lead by one point. Not to mention the five points at this time.
But five points behind is not a big deal for the Spurs. This season, when they are 15 points behind with only six minutes left in the last quarter, they finally achieved a reversal. Not to mention that it is only five points behind now, and there is still a whole section of time. It is not difficult to chase these five points at all.
As long as the Spurs show their normal state, there is indeed no difficulty, but if they are sluggish, then the game is hard to say. The current state of the Cavaliers in this game can be said to be very good, but the reason why the Cavaliers are in such a good state is entirely because of the excellent performance of Huang Jun and James.
As long as the Spurs can limit Huang Jun and James, it will be a matter of time before the Spurs win this game, but can Huang Jun and James say that they can defend?
After three quarters, Huang Jun got two pairs of data of 15 points and 10 assists. It is very difficult to get such data in three quarters in front of the Spurs. You should know that the Spurs' defense ranks second in the league, second only to the Celtics. You can imagine how good his defense is, and he can get ten assists in the whole game. It's very good, but Huang Jun got this data in only three sections.
James got 25 points and eight rebounds after three quarters. In this game, James spent more time in the position of the power forward, PK with Duncan, and the effect can also be said to be very good. Duncan played very well under James's defense. The difficulty of
After all, James does not suffer losses in strength, and there is no problem in defense, which brings a lot of pressure to Duncan and makes Duncan very uncomfortable, so the natural hit rate comes down.
In the next game, the Cavaliers replaced Huang Jun with a rest, and the leadership in the venue was naturally handed over to James. James had rested for more than four minutes off the court, and there was naturally nothing wrong with his physical fitness.
"James, after you play, try to expand the score, which may be difficult, but this is in the case of Duncan. However, I don't think Popovich will replace Duncan in advance. As long as Duncan is not on the court, I need you to try your best to pull the score away and build a solid foundation for the victory of this game.
"Coach, I know, we haven't defeated the Spurs for a long time, so I will definitely win this game. Coach, don't worry." James said firmly.
Brown nodded and then arranged tactics, and the game began soon.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs did not replace Duncan in advance as Brown expected. Brown, who saw this scene, was finally completely relieved. As long as there was no Duncan, the team was like having no soul. It would never have James's Cavaliers. At this point, Brown was very I also believe in the certainty.
Brown has not coached James for a long time, so he still knows James very well, and James' hatred for the Spurs is also very great, so there is no reason not to believe that James will break out completely during this period.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, as Brown expected, James suddenly played, breaking through the layup in a row and hitting a three-pointer. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, James scored seven points in a row for the Cavaliers.
On the spurs, only Ginobili scored, but only one goal was hit. Although the goal was three points, it was only three points. You know, James got seven points. In this way, the Cavaliers suddenly pulled the difference from five points to nine points, which is undoubtedly a very good momentum for the Cavaliers.
And just now, it was only one minute and thirty seconds, that is to say, James got seven points in a minute and a half. It can be imagined that James was angry.
Popovich watched the game off the court and didn't know what he was thinking. He couldn't understand what he was thinking at all. It's just that the gloom on Popovich's face was clearly visible, and he was obviously very dissatisfied with the situation on the court.
However, he is dissatisfied. Popovich also wants to continue to observe the situation on the court before making a decision.
Although the score on the court has fallen behind by nearly ten points by nine points, the Spurs players on the court have no panic at all. They are very calm. Obviously, the Spurs have seen a lot of this kind of scene, so there is no panic at this time. Some are just calm. This is also the Spurs and Other teams are different. No matter what kind of situation they encounter, they will not be chaotic, except for calmness.
After Ginobili controlled the ball at half-time, he didn't think about it directly. It was a three-point shot, which was very accurate and passed through the heart, so that the opponent had no time to defend.
With this three-pointer, the Spurs chased the score to only six points, but six points are also a hurdle, which can't be passed if you think about it. Now there are James on the Cavaliers' lineup. As long as the ball is handed over to him, there is nothing impossible to enter. I believe in the Cavaliers' players very much.
Next, when it came to the Cavaliers' attack, the ball was indeed handed over to James. Because the Spurs' inner line was very empty, James rationally chose to go inside instead of shooting on the outside line. This choice was a very wise choice, and he completely caught the Spurs' current lineup weakness on the field. Now it depends on James's hit rate.
James, who killed the inside line, rose directly into the air, dodged the opponent's defense in the air, and then steadily hit the ball into the basket, eight points. James did not disappoint the Cavaliers' players, successfully scored the ball, continued to stabilize the team's lead, and did not give the opponent a chance to further reduce the score.
Ginobili wanted to make a three-pointer next, but the ball obviously didn't feel as good as before. He didn't hit the three-pointer. Ginobili himself was also very dissatisfied with the ball, because he knew that if the ball did not score and did not grab the offensive rebound, then the other side would have There is a chance to continue to expand the score.
So he now very much hopes that his teammates can grab the rebound into his hand and then reorganize an attack. It's just that all this is his hope. In fact, the rebound was directly snatched by Asik, and after it came to his hand, it directly to James, so that James will take it. The next attack was completed, so as to pull the difference to the biggest difference in the game, ten points.
James, who received the ball, was not in a hurry to make a quick attack, but stabilized directly at the half. He was not in a hurry. He wanted a success rate for the ball. He hoped that the next ball would be scored and the score difference would be pulled to 10 points, laying a solid foundation for victory.
James did not choose his own singles. He passed the ball directly to West's hand. West, who held the ball, went straight to the basket. In the face of the opponent's defense, he did not choose to force the layup, but passed the ball back to James's hand. James shook and clicked the defender on the opposite side.
After picking up the defender, James took the opportunity to kill directly under the basket. Facing the double bag, James looked very calm. He directly held the ball and took a step at the same time. This shake one of the defenders away, so that James's room for shooting became bigger and bigger. Seeing that the opportunity was almost there, he directly chose to go out of the basket. Hands.
The other party wanted to stop James's layup, but there was no chance at all. He could only watch James finish the layup in front of him.
The score was finally pulled to 10 points by the Cavaliers. This is the first time that the Cavaliers are leading to 10 points in this game. Whether it is the Cavaliers or the Spurs, this score difference is the first time in this game. It can be imagined that the degree of sticking between the two sides in this game.
After the score came to ten points, Popovich couldn't stand it very much. He shouted directly at the court, and then called a timeout. He needed to wake up the players and arrange the team's tactics at the same time.
