Chapter 29 European Steps
James, who received the ball, faced Mason's defense and looked at him coldly, but Mason didn't care at all. He ignored James's eyes as if he didn't see it, which made James very angry.
A small role player dares to look directly like this. How can he not make James angry?
However, although he was annoyed, James was still very calm. He knew that the next attack was very critical. Naturally, he would not take the defensive players on the opposite side lightly. No matter who he faced, he would not carelessly underestimate the enemy or anything.
The continuous * dribbling did not mean to start the attack now. Mason looked at James with all his attention on James. No matter what the other side did, he stared at James, because the threat of the other side was too great.
Then James continuously changed direction and accelerated, and finally defrauded Mason's defensive center of gravity, which gave him a chance to break through. Although he did not completely deviate from the center of gravity, it was enough for James to break through the layup master, without any hesitation to go directly under the basket.
Mason followed James closely. Although he could not prevent it, he would do his best to bring enough pressure and suffering to the other party. As long as he could prevent it, he would not give up the defense.
And Duncan, the insider, looked at James who broke in from the outside, and was ready to make up for it at any time. Of course, he also knew that it was impossible for Mason to defend James. If anyone else could defend James in the Spurs, in addition to the old Bowen, he was half of it, but Bowen was old and his footsteps or something. I can't keep up at all. You know, Bao Wen is now 38 years old.
Then James jumped high in the face of Duncan's defense, and Duncan naturally jumped high. He was so likely to let James act recklessly on his head, so he jumped high without any hesitation or hesitation. At the same time, he fanned his hand towards James's hand holding the ball. The target is James. The ball inmu si's hand.
How can James not understand that Duncan wants to cover his own ball? Although Duncan has built several in the finals the year before last, James is no longer James at that time. After the baptism of the finals, he has become more mature and better, otherwise he would not have Huang Jun. Staying in your own team poses a threat to your status.
In the past, he thought he was very good. Only after entering the finals against the Spurs, he realized that his team was so vulnerable, so from then on, he had been looking for a team that could help himself. Until he saw Huang Jun's game in China, all this happened. Change, he is no longer the lonely fighter, he also has a strong helper, and this year his goal is still the top champion trophy.
Then when Duncan thought he was going to cover it, James changed hands in the air to dodge, dodged Duncan's defense, and then slammed the ball into the basket. After landing, James looked at Duncan and then said, "I remember you told me that the future belongs to me. I think now is It's the future."
After saying that, James turned directly and retreated. Duncan behind him looked at James, who had just dunked under the direct defense, and then whispered blankly, "Maybe, in front of me, yours will always be in the future, not now."
When he came back, Parker passed the ball directly to Mason on the outside line. Mason took a step and then hung it to Duncan, who was stuck in the position on the inside line. Duncan received the ball and hit Landry on his back, and then came directly and turned around for a jump shot.
Hit the board. This is one of Duncan's unique moves. Landry looked at Duncan and was in a daze. Can he hit the board?
When he came back, Huang Jun's continuous acceleration on the knight's side could not get rid of Parker's defense. Although the speed was not as fast as Huang Jun's, it was not slow. As long as he stood in front of him directly, Huang Jun had no choice but to call for a cover. He hasn't come up with any good way to crack Parker, so he had no choice but to The choice of cover.
Huang Jun, who passed Parker, went straight to the basket, attracting Duncan's defense, and then passed the ball to Landry, who had just been blocked and dismantled. Landry, who received Huang Jun's wonderful pass, took the opportunity to slam dunk with both hands.
Back, the Spurs used Parker's throw to add another two points, and then James and Huang Jun made an empty catch, which also added two points to the team. The two teams began to attack at the beginning of the game. The three attacks at the beginning of the two sides were all completed. All the balls were related to the core of the team, or not the core pass, just It's the core goal.
The meaning of both sides of the opening game is very obvious, that is, to open the gap from the core side, create more mobile phone meetings for the character players, and open the gap with the attack of the character players at the beginning, which is obviously very difficult, so the two teams have a tacit understanding and choose this method to open the opening attack.
As the game progressed, the defense of both sides was gradually taken out. Although the Cavaliers had been said to be poor defense before, there was no defense at all, but the Cavaliers' defense against the Spurs' basketball team in this game can be said to be very good, very in place, and did not give the Spurs a few at all. Opportunity for vacancies.
When the game was five minutes in the first quarter, the score of both sides was 12 to 12. In addition to the six points in the opening, the two sides only got six points in the next few minutes. Such a defense can be said to be excellent. If it hadn't been for the excellent state of both sides in the opening, then the game would certainly not be More than ten points.
At this time, the Spurs took the initiative to call a timeout. Popovich did not call a timeout because of the team's dissatisfaction, but because he was going to send Ginobili, which is definitely not good news for the Cavaliers.
There is still a main force on the bench, but the knight does not. On the surface, the knight is at a loss. Ginobili is known as the key gentleman, and his efficiency is higher than Duncan and Parker. It can be imagined how important Ginobili is to the Spurs.
However, the Cavaliers also made a little change, that is, to replace Asik to the court and let him fight against Duncan, and Landry's footsteps moved faster than Asik's, so Bonner's defense, who would score three points, was handed over to him.
The Spurs did not replace anyone else except for Ginobili and Finley. Both sides only replaced the next player, and there was no large-scale substitution. This substitution has relatively enhanced the strength of their respective teams. The strength of the Spurs has increased all day long, while the Cavaliers has increased the defensive ability of the inside and the ability of strong rebounds.
When he came back from the timeout, Parker drigged the ball to half-time and passed it to Ginobili. Ginobili faced Battier's defense and probably didn't get much benefit. After all, Battier's defensive ability was there.
However, Ginobili did not think about playing Battier singles. At this time, Duncan, who was already inside at this time, brought it up and made a solid cover for Ginobili, completely blocking Battier.
Then Ginobili kept under the basket and used direct European footsteps to get two points for the team, which was also his first point in this game. European footsteps can be said to be one of Ginobili's iconic moves. In the years of training in Europe, Ginobili also enriched his attack methods. At the same time, It's too tricky to apply the European step to the point of convergence and release freely, making it difficult for the opponent to stop his pace.
Huang Jun looked at the footwork used by Ginobili just now and couldn't help but fall into meditation for a while. Asik, who was preparing to serve, saw it, but did not shout, but called James. Then his eyes signaled to Huang Jun's side. James saw Huang Jun's state, and he didn't understand Asik's meaning. Think about it.
Then he took Asik's free throw and slowly advanced to the half, while Huang Jun continued to stay in the half of the Spurs and stood still. Everyone looked curiously at Huang Jun, who was standing like a fool on the court, and laughed everywhere, which clearly reached the ears of all the Cavaliers players.
However, whether it is James and other players playing on the court, or the Cavaliers players and Brown, the head coach of the Cavaliers watching the game off the court, there is no angry expression on their faces. Some audience fans can still clearly see Brown's facial expressions, with a faint smile.
This made the fans who saw this scene very puzzled. They didn't know what Brown was thinking. When they saw their players performing like this on the court, they didn't get angry but looked at them with a smile. Isn't this world reversed?
At half-time, James did not have a sense of attack, but controlled the ball on the periphery. All the Cavaliers players did not run or anything, but just looked at it. They could faintly see their eyes looking at the direction Huang Jun was standing in, which made many fans at the scene very puzzled
Popovich under the court looked at this scene, then looked at Huang Jun, and then fell into meditation and muttered in a low voice, "There must be a reason why they did this, but what is the reason? Why is the other side's point guard standing there motionless?
Suddenly, Popovich seemed to think of something and said, "Is he imaguing Ginobili's attack just now, or imaguing his European steps?" If he really learned it, wouldn't it be more difficult to deal with?
Then Popovich wanted to interrupt Huang Jun's thoughts, but it was too late.
"So that's it."
Huang Jun, who woke up, muttered in a low voice, and then ran back to his half. At this time, there were still eight seconds before this attack, that is to say, this attack was delayed by Huang Jun for more than 16 seconds, and what was Huang Jun doing in more than 16 seconds?
Looking at Huang Jun, who ran back to the half, Popovich already knew that it was too late to find out. Would he complete his perception of the European step in such a short time? Did you learn it?
