Chapter 724: Dancing with the Demon Sword
Updated: 2013-04-23
After returning, the ball still came to Ginobili's hand again. Ginobili took a big step and then suddenly turned around, his hand almost reached the ground and made a hit pass, passing the ball to Louis Scola.
Louis Scola almost got down and received the pass. Logically speaking, Ginobili shouldn't have passed such a big man like him, but it was because no one expected that Scola was difficult to catch the ball but very smoothly.
After Scola got the ball, Yi Jianlian posted it, but Scola shook it back and forth for a few times and then lost his position. Although Yao Ming hurried over to help with the defense, it was too late. Scola had already made a small hook move, and the ball gently rubbed the rebound, changed its running trajectory, and fell into the basket lightly.
Louis Scola is a very distinctive player. Although he has just entered the league, he is already an older player. However, due to his age, his physical fitness can no longer be improved, and there will be no major improvement in his technology.
However, compared to Yijianlian, who entered the league with a high pick in the first round, although Scola also entered the league in the same year, his adaptability is far greater than Yijianlian. Even when he is by Yao Ming's side, it has not affected his brilliance at all.
Although his potential is not as high as Yi Jianlian, Scola is very mature in both his style and his skills. His speed, strength and bounce are not particularly outstanding, but his skills and footsteps are very flexible. Coupled with his superb shooting skills and European basketball style, he still has enough energy to face Yi Jianlian.
The offensive power came to the Chinese national team. After Stephen received the ball this time, he ran at will and handed the ball to Sun Yue. Then he made a big circle and passed through the underside of the basket. After receiving the ball at the bottom corner on the right, he looked back at the moon and took the action directly. The ball flew in the air, with a high and round arc, like a beautiful rainbow, extending the end into the basket.
I just saw Scola's ease facing Yi Jianlian. This time, Paboroplireoni directly handed the ball to Scola. After Scola received the ball, he immediately started to play Yi Jianlian with his back. Although Yi Jianlian has a height advantage, it has become a disadvantage in this situation. Originally, his strength was not much worse than Scola, but due to the high center of gravity in the lower set, he was a little unstable and was arched to the basket step by step by step by Scola.
Yao Ming wanted to come over and help, but Obotto's position was very solid. Yao Ming couldn't get what he wanted even after trying it out. However, Yi Jianlian was not willing to be beaten like this. He gritted his teeth and thrust his body into a bow shape, and at least he resisted Scola's footsteps.
Seeing that the strong attack was not that easy, Scola passed the ball back to Ginobili. Ginobili did not receive the ball at all, but directly transferred the ball to Nosioni. Zhu Fangyu did not expect Ginobili to pass the ball like this. He was just a step slower and successfully broke through by Nosioni and left behind.
However, Yao Ming predicted the result in advance, and moved to Nosioni across two steps, stretched his arms and made a move waiting for someone to take the bait. Nosioni looked up at Yao Ming, as if he felt the danger of taking action. He did not choose to take action, but passed the ball to Oboto behind Yao Ming.
Although Yao Ming turned slowly, it still interfered with Obotto's layup. The ball seemed to stop on the ring and it fell outside the basket after half a day.
Yao Ming was the only one who took the rebound. He held the rebound in his hand with his arms, and waved his two thick and strong elbows, flapping his teeth and claws. This is the standard rebounding action of the evolutionary version of Yao Ming.
Since last season's playoffs, Yao Ming's rebounding has become such a move. He minus his bounce disadvantage with his height advantage. Although the average rebounding number has not increased much, the number of times he was snatched after grabbing the rebound has been greatly reduced.
While waving, even the person standing opposite Yao Ming did not dare to easily snatch the ball from his arms. Therefore, although the average rebound count did not increase much, the effective rebound count increased a lot, and the number of turnovers was greatly reduced.
Once the number of effective rebounds increases, the number of fast attacks can naturally increase. Fast attacks are generally divided into fast attacks after steals and fast attacks after rebounds. The former is more likely to form fast attacks, but steals are prone to losing positions. Once the steal is unsuccessful, it creates opportunities for the opponent. However, the fast attack after rebounds does not have this problem, but it requires players to have a strong sense of fast attack and the speed and skills of the rebounder's first pass.
Although Yao Ming paused for two seconds after grabbing the rebound, Stephen had already started to quickly and quickly at this time, and Yao Ming quickly threw the ball far away. Out of trust in Stephen, Yao Ming threw the ball directly to Stephen more than two meters ahead, almost crossing the free throw line.
At the same time as Stephen started, Ginobili also started. After not crossing the midfield line at the beginning, Ginobili was still ahead of Stephen. This was because he started at a higher position, but after crossing the midfield line, Stephen had already run alongside him. By the time he reached the near three-point line, Stephen had already surpassed him by half.
While receiving the ball first, Stephen took a big step into the air, and the heel of the last kick happened to step on the free throw line. Seeing Stephen flying in the air, Ginobili slowed down because he knew that he could no longer stop Stephen's attack.
Before reaching the highest point in the air, Stephen had completed the movement of changing the ball from left hand to right hand, then pulled his hand back and swung it out suddenly, and at the same time, exhaling and opening the sound. The sound of the basket impact mixed with a huge roar, which was deafening. Unfortunately, the sound system on the scene was too uneven and sounded like it was still sounding broken.
The audience liked to see such scenes, and they were all catering to screams and shouts. The sudden burst of sound made many non-fans who came to the scene very confused. They even woke up a sleepy leader, raised their heads and looked around blankly, not knowing what was going on.
After Stephen came to the Chinese national team, the athletic ability brought by fans has never seen in other players. In the past, dunks were all very ordinary dunks, because fans had long been burned by the other side of the ocean, either as fierce as fire, or as elegant as feathers, or as fancy as acrobatics to play with dunks, and naturally they couldn't stand this kind of warm dunk.
After returning, Ginobili slowly controlled the ball, and his smart eyes were still wise, as if thinking about how to attack. Before Stephen could be vigilant, Ginobili suddenly chose to take action strangely. You must know that he was doing dribbling forward, and suddenly turned into a move, and the position of the move was still two steps away from the three-point line, which was really unexpected.
Although this distance is the distance of the league's three-point line, sometimes the three-point line is not only a distance sign, but also a psychological sign. Ginobili's attack seems a bit too hasty and a bit too eager.
But the ball flew into the basket without any problem, and the three-pointer was scored on the head of Argentina. After the shot, Ginobili glanced at Stephen with a wide eyelid, but it only flashed by and quickly returned to the kind of appearance that seemed to be insufficient.
Ginobili does not think he is worse than Stephen. Of course, this is a case where physical factors are aside, but sometimes the body is also a talent. Although the team finally chose to let Stephen go, Stephen opened up a world again in Seattle and did not fail.
Although one side eliminated the opponent in the playoffs, it does not mean that the Spurs still have an absolute advantage in strength. The Spurs only won the experience and the understanding of the opponent, but they only took one step more than the Seattle Supersonics.
No championship team can be achieved overnight. It is impossible for a team that has just begun to rebuild to win the championship. However, judging from the performance of the Seattle Supersonics this season, they are already on the road to victory. Although the teaming mode is slightly different from the Spurs, in the final analysis, they are actually the same.
It should be said that this is a future San Antonio Spurs team, and as all of them have changed, this is also a Spurs team that is not short of money. Ginobili also knows that the Supersonics have recently made a series of transactions. Although he doesn't understand many transactions and does not know Presti's intentions, it can be seen from these transactions that the Supersonics are not satisfied with the present, but a team with ambitions.
This team doesn't need the future, it is already a threat to the Spurs. The biggest threat among them is the young man who was once taken care of by himself. A player who has made great progress so fast that no one expected has basically received all the honors he can get, but he is still not satisfied at all. It can be seen from his battle in this game.
Stephen easily got rid of Nosioni's defense, but he didn't have a good way to deal with Ginobili in time because he knew very well that using strength to use force to fight Ginobili was not a good way. In fact, the whole Argentina team is like this because they are all good at performing.
So Stephen and Ginobili were entangled for a long time, but they didn't find a good chance to make a phone call. They had to use Yao Ming's pick-and-roll to pass the ball to Yao Ming. Yao Ming took a big step after receiving the ball. Oberto didn't dare to come over and let Yao Ming chop at the basket like a big axe.
