Four hundred and five emerging forces
Updated: 2012-12-18
Wang Kai was so excited that he wanted to get the ball, but Jefferson, who came to defend Wang Kai, focused his defense entirely on cutting off Wang Kai's defense, and overall, the Spurs would rather let others get the ball than let Wang Kai get the ball.
Under such circumstances, Sebastian could only pass the basketball to Pekovic, who is a center who likes to attack very much.
He immediately beat Duncan one-on-one with the ball. Although Duncan did not block him, Pekovic himself did not get any benefits. The basketball he threw out directly hit the ring and flew out.
Wang Kai, who was on the side, was excited when he saw the opportunity to rebound in the frontcourt. You must know that Wang Kai didn't even touch the basketball for a while.
He rushed in quickly to grab the frontcourt rebound. Although the Spurs were well-drawn at this time, their talented weaknesses were also revealed. Wang Kaifei came in to grab the ball, but Mike Dais couldn't jump up at all, and Wang Kai grabbed the basketball.
Then Wang Kai immediately turned around and dribbled backwards. At this time, the Spurs saw that Wang Kai had grabbed the frontcourt rebound and wanted to double-team. Wang Kai dribbled the ball and turned around and killed a resurgence. He jumped up and made a jump shot.
When McDace was young, he was also a spring-legged person, but now he can't jump up at all and cannot deal with Wang Kai's sudden attack.
Wang Kai finally got 2 points and breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this time, the Spurs' offense really found the Timberwolves' weakness. Ginobili rushed over with the ball and immediately used McDace's cover to penetrate the free throw line.
When the Timberwolves' defense pounced on him, Ginobili passed the basketball to Parker.
Parker played possession before Ginobili came on the court, but now he has become a weak scorer, so Parker's task has become more clear.
He took the ball and saw that Sebastian on the opposite side did not fly. Parker immediately pressed forward and did not pass the opponent. In this way, Parker's first offensive opportunity was basically gone, but Parker did not lose confidence in attack because of this.
Instead, he turned his butt and started hitting Sebastian on his back. Parker did not take any advantage in terms of physical fitness. But Parker dared to hit this, and Parker did not suffer any loss when he hit this way. It turned out that Parker used his back to hit Sebastian not his body, but his dexterous steps.
Just seeing Parker come up, his steps are swaying back and forth, and he doesn't give Sebastian a close-fitting opportunity. When Sebastian made a wrong judgment, Parker immediately turned around and turned his body to score two points.
Parker's footsteps are really the best in the world. A small guard has not been particularly good in physical fitness but can score at any team's basket. This skill is extraordinary.
More importantly, before the game started, the Timberwolves planned to use their low post advantage to kill the Spurs, but the Spurs remained unmoved. Now that the Spurs turned back to fight the Timberwolves' low post, the Timberwolves could no longer withstand it.
The Spurs used the tricks the Timberwolves wanted to use before the game, but instead caught the Timberwolves off guard.
McHale was very angry when he saw this scene. Compared with ordinary teams, the Timberwolves' low-post strength is enough. However, compared with the experienced Spurs, the Timberwolves' low-post lineup is still relatively immature. So today, the Timberwolves' new tactics happened to hit the tough bones.
The Timberwolves couldn't defend and had problems immediately on the offense.
The Timberwolves arrived at the Spurs' halftime and found it difficult for Wang Kai to receive the ball, and Sebastian, who took the ball, was hesitant to pass the ball, so Jefferson, who was active in the low post, immediately had three seconds.
The Timberwolves' offense failed and paid a three-second price to return the ball to the Spurs.
Seeing that the Timberwolves' offense was getting worse and worse, the Spurs were unreasonable, and Tony Parker came over again.
First, he used Duncan to cover a high position, and then immediately used McDance to cover a high position.
Through two high-level covers Parker suddenly hit the Timberwolves' middle lane, and more importantly, the two old guys Duncan and McDyce's moves were quite accurate. One was pulled to 45 degrees, and the other was sinking to the bottom line.
In this way, the Timberwolves' defense was completely pulled away. Parker plunged in and the Timberwolves slightly retracted, and Parker immediately passed the ball to Duncan at the bottom line.
Old Duncan took the ball and shot from mid-range again. Old Duncan didn't know what happened today. The mid-range shooting was really accurate.
The basketball fell into the Timberwolves' basket all of a sudden, and Old Duncan made another attack, widening the gap a little.
The Spurs are now in the connection between Parker, Ginobili and Duncan, and the Timberwolves have difficulty in attacking. Their specialty low-post attack has encountered the more specialty Spurs. Wang Kai was blocked from the outside and the score cannot be continued.
At this time, the Timberwolves' shortcomings of the lack of excitement and flexibility of the wing players were exposed. Every team is definitely not perfect and has shortcomings. It depends on whether the opponent can grasp these weaknesses and take the opportunity to attack. Today, the Spurs grasped the Timberwolves' shortcomings, used their advantage to defend low posts to offset the opponent's low post attack, and then curbed Wang Kai's strong point. The Timberwolves felt helpless.
In this case, the Spurs have an absolute advantage, and they score points again and again on the offensive end, and the defensive end is the maximum advantage of weakening the Spurs.
In this way, the Timberwolves played a lot of hardships at the home court at the target center. By the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves only scored 19 points, while the Spurs scored a high score of 25 points.
McHale carefully arranged a counterattack battle, but he was beaten by someone when he opened the door. The Spurs beat the Timberwolves with extremely sophisticated tactics and could not use it.
At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves' players were also depressed. Mark Jackson on the sidelines said: "Today's game, the Timberwolves suffered a heavy blow in the first quarter. They lost a good start and lost a good start! The Timberwolves are in a little trouble now!"
Bernard also said proudly at this time: "I just said that the Timberwolves wanted to turn the tables on the Spurs is more difficult than climbing the sky!"
Wang Kai was depressed in the first quarter and it was difficult to catch the ball. After receiving the ball, the Spurs kept making small moves and did not play well at all. Playing like this kind of opponent cannot be overcome by just physical and skill, and it is also a test for IQ and ball quotient.
Wang Kai carefully summarized his performance in the first quarter. In the past ten minutes, he was not prepared for the Spurs' defense and was not prepared psychologically and in terms of play, so he only fought hard when fighting, so the effect was not good.
Moreover, as the core of the team, one cannot help the team achieve tactical goals, and one cannot help the team if one cannot hold the ball.
Wang Kai thought about it at this time and came over and said directly to McHale: "Boss! I can't play some offenses without the ball later. This will at least help the team pull the space away and give other players more opportunities."
"And I ask me to defend the opponent's outside arrow player. When Ginobili is here, I defend Ginobili, and when Parker is here, I defend Parker!"
Wang Kai took over two of the most physically intensive tasks. McHale also realized Wang Kai's determination. He immediately looked at Wang Kai and said, "Wang, do you have confidence in your physical strength?"
To some extent, Wang Kai's current body has broken some restrictions on the territory. Whether in strength, speed, or in any aspect, as long as he practices carefully, he will improve very quickly. In terms of physical strength, Wang Kai has reached a very amazing height after training at the Olympics last season at 76ers. Wang Kai is very clear that in his current state, he can do many things that ordinary people cannot reach.
So Wang Kai nodded immediately and said, "No problem!"
McHale also knew that players like Wang Kai could not be measured by common sense. Their talents could completely support them in accomplishing some things that ordinary people could unimaginable. So McHale nodded immediately and yelled at the other players: "Come here! I have something to say!"
"The Spurs are not a loss for being an old strong team. It's really a tough guy. But we can't admit defeat easily. I think you are already clear about what Wang Kai said just now. In the second quarter, we will start with the off-ball tactics, and from now on we will fight hard battles, fighting against the Spurs in a defense, fighting one city and one pool, and fighting one slightest bit. Don't the old Spurs like to fight! Let's fight to death! Run to death and see who has more strength and more physical strength!"
McHale was also anxious and ordered a bloody battle.
At the beginning of the second quarter, McHale was still unwilling to invest Wang Kai so early, and the Timberwolves have indeed delayed the investment in putting Wang Kai on the court.
The Timberwolves have rookie Love to support the inside of the substitute lineup this season, and Fery and Cory Brewer, who is good at shooting on the outside. The Timberwolves' substitute lineup does not lack scoring ability, but does not lack cores, so Wang Kai can sit on the bench for a while.
Sure enough, Love lived up to expectations on the court, and played very well on the main lineup when it was very difficult.
It completely defeated the Spurs' substitute power forward Juan Blair, mainly because Blair was too short and met a power forward like Love who could shoot. Blair's horizontal practice skills were completely unable to do anything.
Seeing that Blair was not good, the Spurs immediately replaced Mark Bonner to defend Love. Mark Bonner was enough, but his footsteps were incomparable to Love, and he was beaten by Love when he came up.
After a while during the bench, the Timberwolves caught up with the score. In the third minute of the second quarter, the two teams reached 31:31. At this time, **Vic couldn't hold back and took the lead in changing old Duncan and McDace to deal with Love.
McHale saw that he had finally made a prominent scoring point. How could the Spurs be strangled so easily? He immediately got Jackson and Wang Kai to support the team's firepower.
Wang Kai returned to the court, and the substitution of the Spurs was completed, and the Spurs started attacking first.
At this time, the Spurs were Ginobili, Gary Neil, George Hill in the backcourt, and Blair and Bonner in the frontcourt. As for the Spurs' substitute lineup, their combat effectiveness is extremely low just from the name of their personal name, but it is not easy to tear them apart on the court.
However, as soon as Ginobili got the ball from the backcourt, Wang Kai immediately rushed to Ginobili like the wind.
When Ginobili saw Wang Kai's red eyes, he also realized that Wang Kai was going to fight to the death today. Ginobili was known as the demon sword and was very evil in playing basketball, but his evil was an appearance. Behind the evil was Ginobili's extremely superb basketball IQ.
Ginobili is a player who plays ball very well. He will not do such a thankless fool. When he saw Wang Kai trying his best, he immediately called Blair for cover. When he came in through the gap, he saw Wang Kai squeezed Blair aside and killed him.
Wang Kai knocked Blair away. Ginobili's cover was in vain, and he could only pass the ball to George Hill on one side. George Hill is an excellent young player. He took the ball faster and then took the ball under the Timberwolves' basket and shot in one step.
Just when he was about to shoot, Wang Kai suddenly saved, delaying Hill's shot. When Hill couldn't pass the ball back to Ginobili, Wang Kai quickly shrank back.
Wang Kai was fighting fiercely at this moment, and his feet were fast enough. He rushed out once and turned around and could immediately block Ginobili.
Wang Kai tried his best to assist in defense once, and the Spurs' tactical offense returned to zero. Looking back, Ginobili could only pass the ball to Duncan and attacked with a low post.
The moment Duncan took the ball, Love immediately rushed up. Although Love is a newborn calf, this person is a life of great destiny. He can fight at critical moments and can still hold on. Although the style of the game is not gorgeous, he is sufficient to use it. In terms of basic style, he and Duncan are both simple players.
Duncan took the ball and hit Love, but he didn't move any more. You know that Duncan was old at this time, and fighting with young people was no longer what he was good at! He didn't move at once. Duncan knew that there was not much time, so he immediately turned around and still hooked. As a result, under the interference of Love, he missed the shot.
The Timberwolves finally defended the Spurs for a while, and Wang Kai and Love both showed a very tough defense at this critical moment.
It was the Timberwolves' turn to attack. The Spurs did carry out strong defense against Wang Kai. Just now, Wang Kai fought Ginobili and Ginobili turned around and fought Wang Kai. However, the two people fought differently. Wang Kai pursued physical contact and hand-to-hand victory.
However, Ginobili pursues the maximum harassment and intervention, and does not let Wang Kai feel happy in any way.
Under this kind of defense, Wang Kai did not get the ball in the first point, but Wang Kai immediately shouted at his teammate: "Cover!"
Wang Kai shouted, and Jefferson and Love in the inside immediately formed a double cover of the bottom line.
Wang Kai was not very good at running without the ball before, especially running in a small range. However, after Wang Kai practiced flexibility, his body flexibility was very different from before. It was just like Wang Kai ran back and forth under the complicated basket, and then he slapped his body and drilled out of the bottom line, leaving Ginobili inside.
Wang Kai ran away from Ginobili with no ball, and Brewer, who was holding the ball, immediately passed the basketball to Wang Kai.
At this time, Gary Neal on the other side rushed to defend Wang Kai, but Wang Kai followed him with a fake move and then took the opportunity to the Spurs' basket. Just as Wang Kai was about to attack the basket, McDace really didn't want Wang Kai to be happy, so he came over and slapped Wang Kai down and sent Wang Kai directly to the free throw line.
The implementation of the Spurs' overall strategy is really cold. If you say that you don't give Wang Kai the chance, you won't give it and don't let Wang Kai catch the ball. Once Wang Kai takes it, he will immediately decisively foul, rather than let Wang Kai go to the free throw line than to score in the sports battle, just not let Wang Kai play the touch.
Wang Kai also looked at McDace coldly when he got on the free throw line. The old Spurs are hard to crack, and I, Wang Kai, are not easy to mess with.
On the free throw line, Wang Kai calmed down two free throws, and then quickly approached Ginobili.
The Spurs' substitute core is Ginobili. Chasing Ginobili is equivalent to striking the Spurs' source, so Wang Kai is very willing to come up and oppress Ginobili.
Wang Kai has excellent physical fitness and it is difficult for Ginobili to come up and fight to the death to defend. However, Ginobili is not willing to admit defeat. When he saw Wang Kai's defense like this, he even used the dribble behind his back to play with Wang Kai.
If it were before, Wang Kai did not have any way to deal with such fancy sports wars, but now Wang Kai has upgraded and reacted quickly, although he has no way to intercept the ball, he can carry out strong harassment.
Just when Ginobili was provoking Wang Kai, Wang Kai made a very accurate move and almost broke Ginobili's basketball.
Ginobili lost control slightly, and Wang Kai immediately defended closely. Then, Fer, who had a tacit understanding with Wang Kai, came up to defend with Wang Kai and Wang Kai, and immediately grabbed Ginobili in the middle.
Ginobili is also a great deal to deal with double-teams. He immediately followed the bottom line and wanted to pass the basketball to Duncan.
But old Duncan didn't have LeFu's legs, so LeFu came up and stole the basketball. After stealing the basketball, LeFu quickly passed the ball forward and immediately passed the ball to Wang Kai who was already running.
This time, when Wang Kai was careful to get the ball and running towards the Spurs at halftime, he saw that Ginobili was running back from the side and was about to attack him, so he immediately passed the ball to Corey Brewer on the other side.
Brewer is a thin shooter, and his shooting is very steady. After getting the basketball, Brewer reached the three-point line and got a three-pointer.
"brush!"
Brewer's three-pointer scored, and when the two teams played a mixed lineup at the same time, the Timberwolves actually overtook the score.
At this time, it was the Spurs' turn to have a headache. **Vic adjusted very quickly and immediately got up and called a timeout.
