NBA Opening Draw To Twilight Shaquille O'Neal Chapter 309

Mo Williams is the most important scoring point on the Blazers bench this year, and the reason why Terry Stotts suggested that the management sign him has only one purpose, that is, to let him score hard.

He lived up to expectations, guaranteeing a steady firepower output between rotations during his 9-game winning streak. At some moments, it can even perform several difficult giant planets.

Just now, Manu Ginobili just entered the Blazers restricted area and made a serpentine layup.

Turning his head, Mo Williams stopped the ball one step away from the 3-point line. Under the watchful eyes of Spurs backup guard Patrick Mills, he made a long-range 3-pointer and the basketball hollowed into the net!

After this goal, the score became a 21:21 level.

But the crisis is far from over. There are still 17.7 seconds left before the end of the first quarter, and the time for the last attack is still rich and controlled by the Spurs.

"Patrick, go mark the opposite No. 20, and be sure to lock him up for me!" Head coach Terry Stotts shouted on the sidelines to direct the defense.

"Will, you're in charge of that Italian!"

Then, Terry Stotts pointed to Spurs backup guard Mark Belinelli.

"Oh, is that No. 3 the player the Blazers traded from Mosaic not long ago?"

On the other side, Sima Weiqi asked the assistant next to him.

The assistant nodded: "Yes, his name is Patrick Beverley. He served as the starter for a period of time last year when Jeremy Lin, the main defender of Mosaic, was injured. The advantage is that he is good at defense."

"It seems that the Blazers are very confident in his defense." Simavic smiled.

Compared with Beverley, he believes in Ginobili more. Although the latter always likes to make some unbelievable choices, he is still very reliable in many cases.

At this time, the referee blew the whistle, and Mills took control of the ball and advanced.

Ginobili found himself unable to walk just after halftime. Beverley actually started to take a close-fitting defensive strategy against Ginobili who had no ball near the midfield line.

Ginobili has the reputation of "20-minute Jordan", which also reflects his physical shortcomings.

Exhausting Ginobili's physical strength as much as possible is the result of Beverley's many studies before he played.

Ginobili didn't expect Beverley to be so active, and he raised the intensity to the highest level. What surprised him even more was that after several off-the-ball movement tactics, Beverley could still bite behind him relentlessly.

The 17-second attack time was immediately consumed by half, and with 9 seconds remaining, Ginobili ran from the high position to the top of the arc and reached out to Mills for the ball.

Time was too late, he didn't care about moving, and chose to organize the attack himself.

Mills was at a 45-degree angle on the left wing at this time, and Mo Williams was very tight. After seeing Ginobili's movement, he quickly sent the ball.

"It's now!"

Beverley, who was following Ginobili's ass, suddenly changed direction and rushed into the passing lane of Mills and Ginobili.

Seeing the basketball getting closer, Beverly cursed angrily: It's almost, **** it!

The next moment, Beverley made an astonishing move, leaping and flying straight towards the basketball.

"What?"

"Oh!"

This scene shocked Simavic and the fans in the stands, only to see the opposite No. 3 suddenly throwing himself in the air, like a **** mouse, accurately intercepting the pass.

"Snapped!"

Beverley made a steal, and the price was that he fell heavily to the ground.

"Counterattack!"

Terry Stotts jumped up from his chair excitedly and shouted excitedly from the players on the court.

Facing the sky, Beverley held the basketball tightly in his hands, listening to his upper body, and heard teammate Will Barton's shout in his ears:

"Brother, here!"

Heading to the left, Will Barton beckoned near the center circle, and Beverley immediately passed the ball out.

"let's go!"

"Come on!"

Wang Zelin and other main players also stood up, waving towels constantly.

Showtime!

Dribbling the ball across the center line, there is no one in front, and there are still 5 seconds to attack, Will Barton knows that his performance time has come.

Ginobili and Mias went hand in hand and returned to the defense at full speed, but from the perspective of the audience, everything was just doing nothing.

Can be selected by the NBA team, Will Barton has nothing else, the athletic ability is enough.

The moment I stepped into the three-point line, I looked up and saw that the basket was getting closer and closer, sprinting towards the penalty area like the wind, and took off...

Seeing this, Ginobili and Mills slowly stopped, helplessly watching Will Barton wreak havoc on his own basket.

"boom!"

Smashed Huashan with force and dunked with one hand.

soon.

The moment the Spurs sent the baseline ball, the last 1.7 seconds passed, and the first quarter ended.

At 23:21, after the first quarter, the Blazers temporarily led by two points.

On the way back to the bench, Ginobili looked back at No. 3 of the Blazers from time to time. By the way, according to the coach, his name is Patrick Beverley.

The first quarter only played for 3 minutes, and Beverley didn't score a single point, but in the final attack of the Spurs, he contributed a key steal that moved everyone and helped the Blazers complete the final lead.

With only one steal, all the Spurs home crowd remembered the backup guard in the No. 3 jersey.

Trail Blazers bench.

Beverley, who had just returned to his position, had not had time to sit down and was immediately treated like a hero.

"Nice job! Rookie! I love your unstoppable drive!"

Batum put his arms around Beverley's neck as soon as he came up, and rubbed the latter's hair with his right hand.

"Hey man, calm down."

Having said that, Beverly still felt a touch of heartfelt emotion in his heart.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Beverley followed with a smile and thought to himself: It seems that being traded to this team was not a wrong choice.

At least in Houston, he did not feel the atmosphere.

The team's only two bosses, Howard and Harden, like to lead the players to go crazy outside day and night, which makes Beverley very unhappy.

He is very clear that he does not have the extraordinary talents of Howard and Harden. If he wants to gain a foothold in the NBA, he has to put in more effort and sweat than others imagine.

Therefore, for the behavior of the two of them squandering their talents, he always harbored a kind of disgust from the bottom of his heart.

In Portland, except for the two old guys, Garnett and Mo Williams, most of them are young people, and as the core players of the team, Wang Zelin, Aldridge and Lillard will play their roles in daily training. , its effort level can be ranked in the top five in the team.

Especially Aldridge, his self-discipline is the first in the team.

With a big boss on the top as an example, the atmosphere of the whole team will naturally be better.

After experiencing and feeling all of this, Beverley is also full of the unhappy mood he had when he arrived at the Portland Trail Blazers a few days ago.

"Clap clap clap!"

Terry Stotts patted the tactical board and attracted everyone's attention.

"In the second quarter, we will play the second set of tactics"

Then, he began to gesture to the tactical board.

All the second set of tactics is to temporarily put Beverley in the main lineup and play Lillard's position. This lineup has passed many trials in the team's training games these days, and its defensive effect has been consistent. Approved.

The coach is preparing to use the Spurs as a whetstone!

Looking at the league, I am afraid that only the Portland Trail Blazers can

There is such a foundation.

Lillard asked: "Coach, the second tactical trial period is still short after all. Do we really want to use the Spurs as our first actual opponent?"

In all fairness, Lillard doesn't want his minutes to decrease, and he's not bad, after all, their opponent tonight is the top-tier Spurs.

"This tactic will come out sooner or later. Instead of picking some weak opponents, it's better to directly pick the strongest Spurs. Trust me, and trust your teammates."

Speaking of which, Lillard is not doing much to discourage.

"Wang, whether the tactics can work or not depends on you."

Terry Stotts and his teammates unanimously set their sights on Wang Zelin.

If Wang Zelin's core weight in the first set of tactics is not heavy enough, Lillard and Aldridge share some; then the second set of tactics, Wang Zelin, who is in charge of supporting, must play the responsibility of the team's pivot, and the team's offense Whether it is smooth or not is closely related to him.

Therefore, as the absolute core of the second set of tactical play, he needs to take into account all factors on the field, and the psychological pressure is smaller than that of the first set of tactics.

"clear!"

Feeling the heavy weight on his shoulders, Wang Zelin said solemnly.

For him, this is a new major test. Passing it will not only enrich the changes in the team's tactical system, but also allow him to further tap his potential strength and accelerate the speed of his personal strength.

In the second quarter of the game, the main lineups on both sides played, and the Spurs were the first to attack.

When the Blazers players came on the court, people were surprised to find: "The player who served as the starting point guard has become the No. 3 who has had a glimpse of performance before."

Is it possible that this No. 3, in addition to defense, has a first-hand organization?

The commentators from TNT and the court platform stopped for the first time to explain and focused their attention on the arena.

Parker was in good shape today. He only scored 4 points in the first quarter, which seems to be a bit small, but he only used 2 shots, which is 100% shooting.

Also sent two assists, respectively, to Duncan and Danny Green.

During the break, Simavic made an offensive adjustment, becoming Tony Parker to assist the main attack and organization, and Duncan to play the second attacker and support from a high position.

For Simavic this year, he proposed a 0.5-second offensive strategy, which requires players to respond within 0.5 seconds to pass or shoot.

The proposal of this tactic has greatly improved the speed of the Spurs' offensive transition. Their **** are running rapidly on the court, and the visual senses brought to the fans are quite shocking.

No one dares to compare this Spurs with the defensive-first Spurs of the early 2000s.

Most gratified by the Spurs' turnaround, it is estimated that league president David Stern, who has less than three months left in his term of office.

He's been waiting too long for this day!

However, when Tony Parker saw that the opposing player changed from Lillard to Beverley, he couldn't help but want to test how deep the latter's water was?

Tony Parker waved and motioned for his teammates to pull away.

The offensive adjustment on the field was not satisfied with his own arrangements. Simavic was not dissatisfied, but just smiled.

After working together for so many years, Sima Weiwei, who is also a teacher and friend with GDP, understands Tony Parker's idea, and if he wants to try it, let him try it.

The teammates pulled away and stood up. Tony Parker began to earnestly, constantly dribbling the ball under the crotch, shifting laterally from the three-point line, and occasionally taking a tentative step. Beverley watched the former's performance and remained motionless.

It wasn't until he realized Tony Parker's real intention to step out his right foot and accelerate to break through the penalty area that Beverley took a lateral step and blocked Tony Parker abruptly.

On the sidelines, the young Director Li showed a hint of surprise on his face.

"Accurate defensive prediction, that guy can actually block Tony Parker's breakthrough!"

His eyes widened.

Then, Lillard's face was even more surprised when he saw that Beverley was swayed again and blocked Tony Parker's breakthrough route again.

After several consecutive forced stops, Tony Parker was forced to stop the ball by a nobody.

After stopping the ball, Tony Parker did not dare to act rashly, he could only pass the ball out and reorganize the attack.

On the outside, when Danny Green received the ball, there was not much time left to attack, and he didn't even have time to run, so he threw it directly and didn't score.

Beverley's personal defense thwarted the offensive intent of the Spurs' main point guard, giving the team one more offensive opportunity in disguise.

What is even more surprising is that, as a point guard, Beverley did not go back to control the ball, but small forward Batum was advancing.

What about Beverly?

Spectators in the stands were looking for him and found him tangled with Tony Parker.

Everyone was confused.

Simavic was also unable to be fixed by the alternative play of the Blazers No. 3, and decided to observe it for a while.

Coming to the frontcourt, Wang Zelin topped Duncan, came to the right wing of the free throw line, and Batum passed the ball.

"Um……"

Subsequently, Simavic saw the other four players of the Blazers start to move continuously, either cutting inside or pulling out three-pointers.

Wang Zelin raised the ball to the frame, suddenly leaned against Duncan with his back, collected the ball to his left waist, and passed it to the penalty area.

At the same time, Aldridge cut inside from the left bottom corner, just ran over to catch the ball, and made a backhand layup.

25:21.

"This is……"

Simavic couldn't sit still, stood up, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind, which slowly overlapped with No. 36 on the field.

"No, look again..."

Then, he shook his head again.

Spurs attack.

Knowing that Beverley was really deep, Tony Parker did not continue to push his head hard. After calling the pick-and-roll, he just passed the free throw line two steps back to Duncan. Duncan quickly returned the pass and assisted Tony Parker for a layup.

The mutual pass from one mile to another is inseparable from the high degree of tacit understanding between the players... However, who made this team the Spurs?

"Charles, have you noticed that in these two offensive rounds, the tactical core of both teams is the same, both are centers!" Affirmation Smith asked.

"You said that, it's true!" Barkley suddenly realized, and continued: "The reason why the Blazers' main point guard Damian Lillard didn't play is because there is a player who can do a good job as a playmaker on the field at this time. The player of the mission, that is the king!"

In the next round, the Blazers attacked, the ball was handed over to Wang Zelin again, and the four teammates began to run without the ball.

This time, Wang Zelin was in a low position and pushed Duncan with his back for two steps. Matthews went straight to the hoop from the top of the arc and passed the free throw line all the way.

"boom!"

Matthews catches the ball and dunks.

This was the Trail Blazers' third alley-oop in this game, and it's rare that anyone has ever performed such an alley-oop under the Spurs' defense.

Not to mention three times in less than half a game.

"Princeton! Chris Webber..."

Sima Weiqi sat down slowly, but kept repeating these two words in his mouth.

The so-called Princeton is the Princeton tactics widely circulated on the basketball court. This tactical attacking system is mainly positioned in constant passing, blocking and conscious off-ball movement.

If you want to play Princeton well, the premise is to have a center who has a good overall view, is good at passing, and preferably has offensive ability, because the most important thing in this tactic is "give the ball to the center!"

The Kings of that year were the most successful example of Princeton's tactics in the NBA, because they had the talented insider Chris Webber.

But such a genius insider is too hard to find.

The Mosaic coaching staff once tried to replicate the glory of the Kings' Princeton system through Yao Ming, but the result was naturally a failure... The biggest reason is that Yao Ming is not Webber!

The San Antonio Spurs, who uphold the team's supremacy, play team basketball, and their current offensive tactics are inseparable from the shadow of Princeton's tactics.

It can be said that Duncan's role in the Spurs is no less than Webber's role in the former Kings.

However, due to the uniqueness of Webber, the King-Princeton system cannot be replicated. As a tactician master, Simavic chose to take out the most suitable part of the Spurs team when he studied the team's offensive system, and did not re-enact all of them.

Now, he saw the shadow of Webber in the body of another inside player.

Different from Yao Ming and Duncan, in Wang Zelin's body, this year's Sima Weiqi, who has various tactical systems, instinctively felt that this young man was extremely adaptable to the Princeton system.

Just like the brilliant Weber of the year, it can be said that he was born for the Princeton system.

Do not doubt the intuition of a master tactician!

At this time, the only thing that puzzles Simavic is that Princeton pays attention to the five players on the court who can pass the ball, shoot, love organization, and adhere to team spirit.

So what's the reason for Terry Stotts going to Beverly?

The fans in the stands did not think as deeply, as far, or as much as Simavic did...

They saw with their own eyes that the offense of the two teams on the court suddenly became faster, accompanied by a large number of ball transfer and the players' non-stop movement without the ball.

So smooth!

At the same time, the fans also enjoyed watching it very much.

When it came to the official timeout in the second quarter, there were about three minutes left, and the players from both sides went off to rest.

Simavic took the game statistics sheet from the assistant coach. His eyes could no longer be separated from this piece of tissue paper, and he nailed it to Tony Parker's second quarter stats - 0 points, 1 assists, 0 rebounds and 0 steals~www. mtlnovel.com~ After half a quarter, as the Spurs' scoring leader for the past two years, Tony Parker did not score a single point.

When he looked at Tony Parker dissatisfiedly, the latter's jersey was already wet with sweat, and the whole person looked like he had just been fished out of the water.

"Tony, you..."

Simavic asked in shock.

"Sir, the Blazers' No. 3 kid is too difficult to deal with. He has been following him since the second quarter. No matter if I have the ball or not, he always makes me feel sincerely uncomfortable... That kid is disgusting. Fake squid!"

At the end, the French made a telegraph tone.

Pairs!

Sima Weiwei finally understood the opponent's sinister intentions.

But then, he looked at the Blazers No. 3 again, and said inexplicably: If you bring that guy over, will it be another Bruce?
