I Am in the Same Year as Duncan Show - Chapter 28
Chapter 28 is low-key, I will make you low-key!
Stockton saw that there was no defensive player in front of him, and he directly accelerated to the inside.
At this time, Xu Liang moved quickly to the three-second zone and stood on Stockton’s offensive line.
After Stockton rushed into Xu Liang’s arms, he turned and jammed Xu Liang and passed the ball to Greg.
Greg got the ball about to get up and dunk, and this time Greg’s end was not complete.
Because behind Greg, a man in the Spurs No. 22 jersey rushed over and directly capped Greg’s dunk with a big hat.
This is the reason for the change of defense after Xu Liang came up.
After all, compared with David Robinson, Xu Liang’s weight makes it move relatively slowly.
It is difficult to make up for Karl Malone in time after Duncan and Johnson switched defenses.
Although Johnson squeezed over to chase Stockton, it will provide Stockton with a certain amount of space.
But after all, it is not an open shot.
And Johnson’s chase and defense will still have a certain impact on Stockton’s shooting.
If instead of chasing and changing into defense, it is very likely that Karl Malone will be given a superior offensive opportunity.
or Xu Liang came out from the three-second zone and then gave the inside a chance to dunk directly.
Both of these are much better than the offensive opportunities that Stockton might get.
So in fact, the defensive success this time is more that Stockton’s offensive choices were hesitant and not decisive enough.
Of course, it is also because Stockton believes that Xu Liang, as a rookie and a heavy-duty insider, may not have time to defend his layup.
So Stockton finally chose a more sure offensive opportunity.
It’s just that Xu Liang’s short-term explosive power and movement speed exceeded his expectations.
This also caused the Jazz’s offense this time to fail.
There is another point, that is, Stockton did not expect Duncan’s defensive area to be so large.
and really able to quickly return to the inside from a position close to the three-point line, and cover Greg’s dunk this time.
Although this offense was stopped, the Jazz are a top-notch team.
did not have any pause after an offensive defeat, and all the players quickly returned to their defensive positions.
did not leave the Spurs a chance to fight back quickly.
And after Duncan won the concealed basketball, he saw no chance of returning and he was not in a hurry.
first passed the ball to Johnson, and then ran to the offensive position.
The Spurs began to take a position to attack.
At the same position, Duncan was ready to play singles in the low post, while Xu Liang continued to the top of the arc, received a pass from Johnson, and was ready to pass Duncan at any time.
Only this time, because of Xu Liang’s three-pointer just now, Carl Malone’s attention was not completely focused on Duncan.
But Malone’s defense against Xu Liang is still just a little bit of attention.
After all, Xu Liang’s three-point shooting just now is not enough to make Malone change his defensive style and defensive focus.
So in fact, Xu Liang’s defensive pressure at the top of the arc is still not very high.
According to the rhythm of the usual training game, Xu Liang should still be able to shoot three-pointers.
In addition, Xu Liang feels that his three-pointer feels really good today.
So Xu Liang didn’t hesitate at all, so he shot another three-pointer directly at the top of the arc.
And Malone has been paying attention to Xu Liang’s movements.
When he saw Xu Liang’s three-pointer, he also stepped forward to interfere with Xu Liang.
It’s just that because of the previous defensive attention and focus, it was not completely focused on the defense of Xu Liang.
So this time the interference with Xu Liang’s shot was not very strong.
And Xu Liang relied on a good touch to make a three-pointer once again.
After seeing him throw in again, Xu Liang secretly squeezed a fist to himself.
Xu Liang these two three-pointers instantly reversed the situation on the court.
After all, before Xu Liang played, the Jazz’s offensive efficiency was always better than that of the Spurs.
Before the Spurs were only two points behind, it was entirely because Duncan and David Robinson were in such a good state of the game today.
But this kind of scoring efficiency cannot last forever.
So Popovich was still a little anxious just now.
replaced Xu Liang so early, and hoped that Xu Liang could break the situation where the Spurs were suppressed by the Jazz offensive.
Just before Popovich made Xu Liang’s second three-pointer, he hoped that Xu Liang would pass the ball to Duncan inside.
After all, because of Xu Liang’s first goal.
has caused Malone to relax some of Duncan’s defensive attention.
Pass the ball to Duncan at this time. Duncan has a great chance to complete the offense and score.
At the moment Xu Liang shot, Popovich immediately stood up from the bench.
Popovich’s face was angry at first, and then after seeing Xu Liang’s three-pointer, he instantly became happy again.
It’s just that Popovich has already begun to swear inwardly.
“Damn, let you be low-key, low-key, don’t you understand? You have advanced two three-pointers, is this low-key?”
Fortunately, Xu Liang’s second shot hit again ~www.mtlnovel.com~ which directly changed the offensive situation on the court, and then the offensive pressure returned to the Jazz side.
After all, two consecutive three-pointers made it, not only allowed the Spurs to overtake the score, but even pulled the difference to four points.
Four points can’t be recovered with just one goal.
For the game between the top teams, for every extra goal difference, the offensive pressure will increase by one point?
At this time, Jerry Sloan came to the sidelines and whispered to Stockton.
The Jazz’s offense was launched again.
is still the original pick and roll tactics.
Similarly, Johnson still chose to squeeze through the chase defense, and did not change defense with Duncan.
It’s just that this time Stockton did not continue to break through the inside after opening a certain amount of shot space, and directly stopped the jumper.
quickly completed this attack.
And this also made Xu Liang too late to make up the defense.
Xu Liang had to get Greg behind him when Stockton shot.
Then I prayed that Stockton’s goal was not made because of the touch, and he could grab the rebound.
It is a pity that Xu Liang’s hopes were defeated, and Stockton’s emergency stop shot steadily fell into the basket.
The point difference returned to two points.
And this is also a problem that the Spurs had to face when using Xu Liang.
Xu Liang’s current defensive ability and moving speed make it possible for him to become a defensive weakness that is continuously chased and beaten when facing the pick-and-roll tactics.
Fortunately, Xu Liang’s offense in these rounds.
Now it seems that it can make up, even higher than the problems and loopholes brought by Xu Liang’s defense.
