I Am in the Same Year as Duncan Show - Vol 2 Chapter 39

The thirty-ninth chapter holds up for a half

Although Xu Liang was not insulted by the dunk just now, Xu Liang also knew that Ma Long was showing his toughness in the ball just now.

And if Xu Liang can’t respond strongly to this ball.

is likely to affect the momentum of both sides on the entire court.

At this time, if Xu Liang chooses to pass the ball back to the outside line for a second organization attack, it is obviously not a tough performance.

So Xu Liang directly gritted his teeth against Malone’s defense, and shot a small hook front and half sideways.

Malone, relying on his rich defensive experience, had already realized that Xu Liang would make a hook shot next when Xu Liang set up his arm to block him.

So Malone also began to actively press Xu Liang’s offensive space, constantly relying on his physical fitness and inside footsteps to squeeze Xu Liang’s upper body shooting posture.

strongly interfered with Xu Liang’s hook shot.

And Xu Liang also felt this kind of strong interference, so Xu Liang’s hook hand shape began to deform when he shot.

Fortunately, before Xu Liang, Duncan had been frantically abused on the defensive end.

So I already have a lot of experience in dealing with hook shots when the shot is unstable.

So this time Xu Liang stabilized his hand shape again at the moment of the shot and completed this hook shot.

And Xu Liang withstood Malone’s defense and snatched the goal.

also instantly won warm applause and cheers from the entire Spurs bench and the audience.

After all, people always want to see the weak challenge the strong and fight back under the pressure of the strong.

In this game, Xu Liang was obviously the weak one, and Ma Long played the possible villain.

Xu Liang was defending against Malone. After completing this attack, he quickly returned to his defensive position. He was not complacent because of his tough goal this time.

After all, Xu Liang knew very well that his offensive shot just now had a certain element of luck.

After all, the inside-kill and strong offense is not Xu Liang’s dominant offensive method now.

was just in response to Malone’s toughness just now, Xu Liang chose this relatively tough offensive method.

In the next offense, Malone continued to use his rich experience and tough physical fitness, as well as some small offensive moves to put huge defensive pressure on Xu Liang’s defense.

And Xu Liang also began to use his strengths and circumvent weaknesses, constantly using his height, arm span, soft hand feeling and fairly flexible footwork to complete his backward standing shots.

And when Xu Liang defended Malone, he no longer behaved like his previous defense.

began to constantly make small moves while defending.

For example, when Ma Long used force to strike inward, he quietly raised his arm to exert force to withstand Ma Long’s first strike.

Next, use your superior thighs to stop Ma Long’s offensive footsteps, and always look for opportunities to pin Ma Long’s knees to press down!

These small movements are actually more of Xu Liang’s small movements when he was a defender in his previous life, defending in the low post, outside or inside players who were much higher than his own height and weight.

It’s just that, because Xu Liang used to have insufficient height, weight, and strength attributes.

These small moves do not have much impact on those players who play him in the low singles.

Putting it on Xu Liang now, these small movements will not be so useless.

Malone found that since he provoked the rookie a bit, the rookie’s next defensive actions were instantly harsh and rough.

This allowed Malone to instantly find the feeling of playing with those muscle clubs in the league and playing with the intensity of the playoffs.

In this way, Xu Liang withstood the defensive pressure and offensive pressure, and Malone had a half-quarter match.

By the sixth minute of the fourth quarter, because neither side had called a timeout, it came directly to the official timeout.

Before the timeout, the Spurs and Jazz scored 93:91, and the Spurs led by two points.

This score, if you only look at the strength comparison between Malone and Xu Liang, it feels incredible.

But you must know that Ma Long himself has played longer than Xu Liang in this game, and his physical energy consumption is greater.

Secondly, Malone can only do personal singles offense in this lineup.

Although other players can also help him offensively, it is a lineup without a tactical system after all.

Therefore, other players’ help to Malone’s offensive end is not as good as the other players on the Spurs side’s help to Xu Liang’s offensive end.

After all, Xu Liang is not a simple singles player.

Xu Liang has a good understanding of the tactical system and excellent passing ability, and the tacit understanding with this lineup on the field is not low.

This also led to the entire half of the game, although Malone had pressured Xu Liang on his personal offense.

But in terms of team offense, the Spurs are even better.

In fact, Malone also understands the strength gap between him and Xu Liang~www.mtlnovel.com~ does not mean the strength gap between the Jazz lineup and the Spurs lineup.

So when he attacked for the first time, Ma Long used such a tough and brutal way to block Xu Liang.

is hoping to frighten Xu Liang, a newcomer, in this way, thereby affecting his ability to play.

But what Malone didn’t expect was that Xu Liang not only was not frightened, but also responded strongly.

Whether it was after his offense, Xu Liang’s first offense was completed in a very tough manner.

It is still Xu Liang’s subsequent changes in defensive movements and his proficiency in small defensive movements, which made Ma Long’s goal of intimidating Xu Liang unachievable.

Even because Xu Liang’s defensive rules were torn apart, Xu Liang’s defense was no longer restricted to regular defensive methods.

made Malone’s attack more disrupted than expected.

And this is also an important reason why the Spurs were able to not only not be overtaken by the Jazz in this half of the game, but also to further expand the one-point difference.

Of course, Xu Liang was able to lead the Spurs to complete such offensive performance in this half of the quarter without paying a price.

In these six minutes, Xu Liang was directly fouled by Karl Malone.

And when Xu Liang was off the court, he felt that there was no place in his upper body that didn’t hurt.

It’s all about Malone’s constant elbow hitting himself on offense and defense.

When the muscles are tense on the court, the pain is not so intense when it comes to a head-on.

Once Xu Liang is suspended, the whole muscle relaxes, and this kind of pain bursts out in an instant.

Of course, although he paid a certain defensive price, Xu Liang’s offensive combing and personal offensive performance during this period are also very good.
