304: Stone Buddha is not indestructible(3/5)
For another example, twice, Kidd suddenly rushed out and intercepted Li Ang's pass to O'Neal Jr.
However, these minor accidents did not really curb the Suns' offensive momentum. With Ou's outstanding performance, the Suns made the Spurs' defense very uncomfortable today.
On the other hand, relying on Duncan's strong personal ability, it is very difficult for the Suns to defend the Spurs.
Deng Shu played O'Neal Jr. in the low post and was very efficient. O'Neal Jr. used all his strength, but he still couldn't restrain Duncan.
Leon also tried to ignore Turkoglu and attack Duncan directly.
But Deng Shu is also a player with a strong ability to play the ball when double-teamed.
He accurately found Turkoglu many times and assisted the Turks to hit three-pointers.
Who is Turkoglu? In his peak period with the Magic, he was the brains of the Magic on the offensive end. It was because of his stable three-point output that Van Gundy was able to create such a one-star Finals lineup for Howard.
.
So far this season, Turkoglu's three-point shooting percentage has exceeded 40%.
If you dare to let go, he really dares to enter.
Anyway, the Suns and Spurs are typical today and neither can guard the other. The scoring data of Duncan and Ou are growing rapidly.
Of course, it's not like others didn't score.
On Li Ang's side, he could occasionally hit Bowen from mid-range before Duncan came up to attack him.
On the Spurs' side, Ginobili and Kidd also helped Duncan share a lot of pressure.
But overall, the main scorers of the two teams are O'Neal Jr. and Duncan.
The game was very tense, with both sides taking the lead.
The game continued like this into the fourth quarter. In this round, Li Ang repeated his old trick, facing a double team and using a ground pass to pass the ball to O'Neal Jr.
Duncan was careful this time and pounced on O'Neal the moment Li Ang passed the ball.
O'Neal was trying to shoot, but when Duncan pounced on him, O'Neal took the basketball back and passed by Duncan!
O'Neal Jr. is not only a mid-range shooter, his dribbling is very good among big men.
He easily broke through Duncan and completed a tough dunk against Nesternovic who was defending to the basket!
This dunk completely set the entire American West Arena on fire.
Because after this dunk, O'Neal Jr. has already scored 26 points in this game!
Li Ang also rushed forward excitedly, jumped up and had a sword fight with O'Neal in the air.
This is the strength of the third place in the original historical MVP rankings!
This innocent-looking baby face pushed both Popovich and Duncan, whom he relied on most, into a desperate situation today!
At this time, the Suns were only 1 point behind. To be honest, without Li Ang's offense fully open, the Spurs were unable to take a substantial lead, which was already a huge failure.
"Jermaine O'Neal severely punished the Spurs with his scoring today. The Spurs may need to adjust their defensive strategy. If O'Neal continues to play like this, the situation will only become more and more unfavorable to the Spurs."
Popovich had to pause the game. Seeing that the game was about to end in a few minutes, he had to find a way to open up the score.
Duncan sat back on the bench, panting.
He really wanted to ask Popovich: "Didn't you say that O'Neal Jr. couldn't kill the game!?"
He already scored 26 points before the game was over. Do you call this an unkillable game?
Popovich really didn't expect O'Neal to perform so well today, so much so that he didn't dare to bet on O'Neal's touch.
So, the old thief Vicki told Duncan: "Next...I need you to focus on guarding that baby-faced guy!"
The old thief Vicki finally compromised. He knew very well that if O'Neal was allowed to continue fighting like this, the Spurs would be defeated sooner or later.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The old thief came here full of confidence today and must not go back empty-handed.
On the contrary, Li Ang hasn't shown much performance so far today.
Although his assists have reached double figures, he has only scored 18 points so far.
Besides, even if Duncan doesn't double-team, there is still Bowen to block Li Ang.
And if O'Neal Jr. is ignored, all he gets are basically open opportunities.
Rather than doing this, it would be better to guard against both of them.
Popovich waved his hand: "You must guard against O'Neal Jr., Liang can't kill the game today!"
All the Spurs generals scratched their heads. Why do these words feel a bit familiar?
Did someone tell me just now?
At this time, in order to vent his dissatisfaction, Duncan hugged Ginobili's head and tied it up.
After combing his hair for a while, Duncan found that his hands were covered with hair.
What the hell...who cursed Ginobili for losing his hair?
The timeout ended quickly, and Popovich really had no choice now but to play traditional man-to-man.
And I hope Li Ang’s point doesn’t explode.
The Spurs took the lead in attacking, but as soon as Kidd took possession of the ball, he realized something was wrong.
Because the person standing in front of him changed from Nash to Li Ang!
Under normal circumstances, given Nash's defensive ability, which makes it difficult to defend the No. 1 position, Master Tang would not send him to defend others.
Kidd also immediately handed the ball to Bowen, and sure enough, Bowen leaned into Nash and entered the penalty area effortlessly.
But with Stoudemire's assistance, Bowen's layup missed the frame.
This made Popovich very angry.
It is true that Nash couldn't guard Bowen. But Bowen is not the kind of player who can kill the game with his personal offense.
Master Tang asked Li Ang to defend Kidd in order to free him up to double-team Duncan!
Don't get me wrong, Mr. Tang is not looking down on the scoring leader Kidd.
This is not a question of whether you look down on it or not, this is simply a matter of disdain.
Bowen missed a layup, but Duncan rushed into the penalty area and gently tipped the ball into the frame.
Duncan made a tip-in, and the point difference returned to 3 points, and Duncan had already scored 29 points.
The Spurs still led, but for some reason, Duncan was a little nervous.
To be honest, he didn't know what Li Ang would be like if he didn't continue to help defend.
Li Ang faced Bowen with the ball and broke through from the wing as always.
But this time, Li Ang discovered that Duncan's position was different from usual.
He did not defend the basket, but pulled outside, closer to O'Neal.
It seems that O'Neal Jr. is really scared of Duncan today.
Therefore, if you want to attract the other party's attention, you have to rely on your own strength.
If he doesn't have strong scoring ability, can Duncan handle Xiaoao?
This is the same as writing novels. If you don’t write something solid, readers won’t be able to pay attention to you. If they can’t pay attention to you, how can they vote?
Seeing Duncan's defense forced to change, Li Ang was ecstatic!
good, very good.
O'Neal finally got Duncan out!
Xiao Ao's mission ends here. Next, the game enters the second stage!
Seeing that Duncan did not stand resolutely under the basket, Li Ang chose to charge directly.
Although Bowen's defense is very good, in terms of confrontation ability, he is definitely not as good as Li Ang.
After all, before this season, Li Ang had always been the leader of crazy melee fights with big bosses in the paint.
After switching to the third position this season, Li Ang's confrontation is simply invincible.
Seeing that Li Ang was so determined to break through, Duncan finally ran back to the penalty area and prepared to help defend Li Ang.
Li Ang raised the basketball, and Bowen and Duncan both jumped up.
But Li Ang just made a fake move. After deceiving Bowen and Duncan, Li Ang smoothly took back the basketball, then turned around and hooked the ball, and the basketball hit the ball steadily.
Li Ang shook two people at once and successfully scored, and the Suns still clung to the score!
After scoring the goal, Li Ang glanced at the old thief Vic on the bench: "Hurry up and gather a few more people to defend me!"
Well, Li Ang has implemented the concept of "if you don't spray after entering, it means entering in vain".
From now on, the Suns will have a pair of trolls, Li Ang and O'O, who are simply psychological tools.
Popovich was so disturbed that he gritted his teeth in anger. Li Ang simply slapped him in the face in front of everyone.
He just said that Li Ang couldn't kill the game, and Li Ang just scored.
