Chapter 331 Wood is God(1/2)
Lin Sen dribbled the ball through the half again, but what is surprising is that Tony Parker still seems to be the one who mainly defends Lin Sen. Lin Sen is also very surprised. He thought that **Vic will use Bruce Bowen to defend.
he..
"This is not like Greg. Is he still placing his treasure on Tony?" Kenny Smith expressed what many people were thinking.
However, when Lin Sen came to the frontcourt, the Spurs' defensive formation also changed, turning into a zone defense. However, because Lin Sen was so fast, Parker was still the one who mainly defended, and he and he guarded Mike in the top area.
Finley is very close and can come up to defend at any time.
"I just said this is not Greg. It is indeed not the man-to-man marking just now." Kenny Smith said with a smile.
Lin Sen looked at the positions of the players on both sides and slowed down at the same time.
Parker did not lower his attention because Linsen's speed slowed down. Being on the background three times in a row already made him depressed enough. He did not want to bear the spit of **Vicci again.
Especially his lover Eva was still on the sidelines, and he really didn't want to embarrass his lover.
At this moment, Lin Sen's body bowed suddenly and his speed picked up again. Parker and Mike Finley immediately shrank.
However, less than a second after Lin Sen's speed increased, Lin Sen's speed slowed down again, and at the same time, his upper body shook.
Parker, who had just been beaten three plus one by Lin Sen, immediately controlled his impulse. However, just as he controlled his impulse, Mike Finley's contractions were slowed down by a beat, and it was at this beat that Lin Sen accelerated again.
.
Before Tony Parker had time to react, Lin Sen rushed past him and Mike Finley.
"Wood, successfully broke down the defense. Greg should use Bruce immediately." Barkley said with a smile, and Vicki on the sidelines also had this idea.
Breaking through Tony Parker's defense, Lin Sen rushed directly to the inside.
Tim Duncan on the inside moved his feet to stand on Linsen's offensive line. Duncan raised his right hand high and waited for Linsen's arrival.
Looking at Tim Duncan who was standing not far in front of him to defend him, and feeling Tony Parklinson catching up behind him, he gave up his plan to make another emergency stop jumper, and instead chose to directly attack.
"Wood directly challenges Tim!"
Following Kenny Smith's words, Lin Sen and Duncan got closer and closer.
The Spurs fans in front of the TV desperately hoped that Tim Duncan would use a block to demoralize Linsen, a damn rookie, and at the same time start the counterattack from this block.
"Wood jumped up! Faced with Tim's defense!" Barkley shouted.
Lin Sen jumped up when facing Tim Duncan, and his body was completely close to Tim Duncan. This made Tim Duncan not dare to press down easily, and could only raise his hands high to block Lin Sen's shooting sight.
Tony Parker, who was chasing after him from behind, also caught up. He jumped high and stretched his right hand as far as possible to Lin Sen. He wanted to use a block to return Lin Sen, this damn rookie.
"Being double-teamed!" Kenny Smith said as he looked at Lin Sen in the air.
In the front is Tim Duncan, and in the back is Tony Parker, which makes the fans at the Waterhouse Center worried.
However, Lin Sen, who was trapped, was not worried because he did not fully intend to attack on his own this time.
Tony Parker, whose eyes were full of excitement, slapped the ball hard with his right hand, but at this moment the ball quickly disappeared from his sight.
Lin Sen quickly collected the ball and handed it to his left hand. His left hand passed directly from the right side of Tim Duncan's body. With a slight pick of his left hand, the ball flew directly from Duncan's back to Darko, who was temporarily unguarded. .Milicic.
Milicic caught Linsen's pass comfortably, jumped up with both feet on the ground, and slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.
"A beautiful goal. This goal was so good. The Spurs' defense failed again. 11:4. Orlando is so strong tonight that it's scary. Of course, Orlando's strength cannot be separated from Wood." Kenny. . Smith said loudly.
"Perhaps this is Wood's reply to everyone. Thinking about the attacks Wood has suffered in the past two days, Wood told everyone his attitude with his performance on the court." Barkley added.
Four consecutive defensive failures in the opening game were undoubtedly a huge irony for the Spurs, who are known for their strong defense. Vicky, who had just called a timeout, roared loudly at the court and then made a gesture.
"Greg is going crazy!" Barkley said with a smile, while Stan Van Gundy on the other side of the technical stage was extremely proud. The first three games had never gone so smoothly. Although this was just the beginning, Such a start is undoubtedly a wonderful start.
"I said, tonight must be wonderful, I like this feeling." Lin Sen shrugged at Parker and ran slowly to the backcourt.
"San Antonio failed to score three consecutive offenses. It was Tim just now. Who will they give the offense to this time? Now, except for Tim and Tony, the ability of others on the field to attack independently is limited." Kenny Smith said.
The Spurs, who once again switched from defense to offense, felt pressure they had never felt in the first three games.
Tony Parker brought the ball across the half court and handed it to Duncan according to **Vic's instructions. Milicic, who was responsible for defending Duncan, tried his best to compete with Duncan for position.
"I like this scene. The competition inside is really fierce. From this point of view, Darko is not comparable to Dwight at the moment."
And what Barkley said is right, this is one of the reasons why Stan Van Gundy chose to put Milicic on the court to replace Howard.
Duncan left the three-second zone, and Milicic followed him again, but this time he let Duncan get into position and stuck Milicic behind him. Duncan immediately raised his right hand high.
Tony Parker immediately hoisted the ball over Lin Sen's head.
"Tony still lobbed the ball to Tim. Tim hit Darko alone. He just missed the hit, but what about this time?" Kenny Smith said, looking at Duncan holding the ball on his chest with both hands.
At this time, Duncan is leaning on Milicic with his back, and at this moment, Duncan has not entered the inside and is still some distance from the basket.
"Tim turns around and wants to face the frame? Tim's face-to-frame skills will cause a lot of trouble for Darko."
Just like Barkley said, Milicic naturally knew how powerful Duncan's offensive skills were in front of the frame. Milicic carefully stared at Duncan's hands holding the ball.
Duncan not only has the footwork but also the shooting skills, so Milicic doesn't dare to be careless.
Duncan's facial expression did not change at all, and his expression remained unchanged for thousands of years, allowing Milicic to detect any signal.
Suddenly shaking his shoulders, Milicic immediately felt the pressure. This is the aura of a superstar.
Milicic's center of gravity was raised, waiting for Duncan's next move. At this moment, Duncan suddenly raised his arm and made a shooting posture.
Milicic controlled his desire to jump. He was worried that Duncan was making a fake move. In this game, Stan Van Gank told him not to jump easily even if he gave up defense to avoid too many fouls.
However, Duncan told him with facts that it was not a fake move. Seeing that Milicic did not take off, Duncan glanced at the basket and knocked the ball out.
Seeing the ball fly away from Duncan's hand, it was useless for Milicic to adjust his steps and take off again. Watching the ball fly over his head, Milicic immediately turned around and prepared to grab the defensive rebound.
However, the ball bounced off the board and fell into the basket.
"Tim, Tim, a standard rebound shot! This shot is so critical for San Antonio, but more importantly, they must defend well next." Kenny Smith's words are quite right.
If you can't attack but can't defend, it's still useless.
Returning to the defensive end, the Spurs were particularly active. They had the same defensive formation as before, but they did a better job than before.
Lin Sen saw Milicic reaching the mid-range asking for the ball and immediately passed the ball over.
"Darko received Wood's pass. Is Darko going to hit Tim back? Darko's improvement is obvious, but his performance also declined when facing Tim's defense in the playoffs, but it was better than Dwight.
Some."
"Kenny, you are right. The reason is that Darko has more offensive methods than Dwight. Even if his personal offense cannot play a role, he can serve as an axis to organize the team. This is far beyond what Dwight can compare with. Just now
After being hit by Tim, can he hit back this time? Although it is difficult, it at least shows the return of his personal desire to win and confidence, which is definitely a good thing for Orlando."
Milicic is looking forward to it but also very nervous. In the first three games, he and Duncan did not have many one-on-one matches. This is the first time that he has the idea of one-on-one with Duncan.
Off the court, Van Gundy is also looking forward to this duel. Even if Milicic loses, he doesn't care because he, like Barkley, has seen Milicic's improvement in self-confidence. This is the most important thing.
The fans at the Water House Center cheered loudly for Milicic. Milicic leaned against Tim Duncan, who was about the same height as him.
Relying on Duncan, the tension in his heart decreased a bit. Milicic began to tentatively hit Duncan behind him twice. The feeling from behind told him that Duncan did a good job in facing his strong defense.
.
There was a sudden shake on the shoulder, and Milicic immediately feinted to the left, and then feinted to the right again.
"Nice steps!" Kenny Smith praised, and Milicic took a step with his right foot and picked the ball directly to the basket with his right hand.
When Lin Sen on the outside saw this scene, he couldn't help but admire Milicic's coherent steps. He also saw that although Duncan was temporarily out of position, he was not completely out of position. He accelerated directly towards the basket.
Just as Lin Sen thought, Duncan did not completely lose his position. Although he was temporarily shaken by Milicic's footsteps, he quickly regained his position.
Milicic's heart had just been relieved when a big hand quickly appeared from his side on the side of the basketball.
Snapped!
Seeing the big hand slapping the ball, Milicic said with some annoyance and disappointment: "It was just a little bit close!"
"Oh, Tim, Tim used a block to tell Darko that it's too early to challenge him." Before Kenny Smith could finish his words, the ball kicked out by Duncan went straight to the free throw line, and Lin
Sen happened to appear there.
"Wood, got the ball!" Barkley shouted.
However, Bruce Bowen on the other side pounced directly, and Lin Sen quickly sent the ball straight to Grant Hill.
But what was depressing was that Hill's shot failed and the ball hit the basket. Lin Sen rushed to the frontcourt rebound and was directly knocked away by Duncan.
Duncan raised the ball high with both hands and threw the ball with his right hand like a grenade.
"No!" Lin Sen, who had just landed, shouted in his heart, but there was nothing he could do because Tony Parker was already rushing forward at full speed.
"Wood's aggressive rush for offensive rebounds caused holes in Orlando's defense. Tim's direct long pass gave Tony a chance."
Tony Parker easily received Duncan's long pass, and without any defense, he easily picked the ball into the basket.
"To be honest, Wood cannot be entirely blamed for this goal. After all, he was proactive, but without his positivity, Tony would not have had such a chance this time."
Barkley was right, and Kenny Smith agreed: "Yes, but the more important thing is that we saw Tim, who is the best at long passes inside. If Bill were here, he would definitely say that Tim is the closest to him.
man, but can I say that Tim did a better job than him?"
Duncan's offense, defense and pass helped the Spurs score four points in a row. The Magic, which had just led 11:4, were now only leading by 3 points.
Duncan's performance on both offense and defense also allowed the Spurs to find their backbone. The Spurs are no longer the same Spurs who were beaten by the young Magic after the opening moments.
