NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 311 On the road to becoming an excellent leader

David Robinson stuck Webber tightly and was about to get the backcourt rebound when a figure suddenly rose into the air.

It's Lu Yuanzhi!

He didn't know when he had reached the outside line, and seemed to want to receive a pass from Gerald Wallace and shoot.

It can be seen that after Gerald Wallace rushed into the inside, Lu Yuanzhi also started immediately, throwing away the defensive Bowen and also rushed into the inside.

At this time, Lu Yuanzhi reached out with his long arms, grabbed the pop-up basketball, and glanced around the court. Before Duncan landed, David Robinson was competing with Webber for position, and Bowen was eating exhaust behind him.

Lu Yuanzhi no longer hesitated, exerted force on his waist and abdomen, and directly pressed the ball into the basket in the air.

Make up points!

I'm the real attacker of the Kings!

If you all keep an eye on Gerald Wallace, no one will guard me?
Aren't you afraid of my aerial work?

Sure enough, the Spurs quickly adjusted their defensive strategy. Since you want to rush me inside, I will give you a hammer.

The Spurs' ability to become a traditional strong team in the Western Conference is inseparable from their rapid adjustment ability and efficient tactical execution.

If it was Van Gundy who was in charge now, how could he lose his hair and not think of a way to deal with it?

The two teams then entered an ugly defensive battle.

The Kings used quick rotations to limit the Spurs' offense, and the Spurs also stayed inside, denying the Kings a chance to break through.

The score increased slowly. The audience who just turned on the TV thought they were seeing the Pistons playing the Heat!

The same iron-blooded defense, the same constipation offense!

But the Kings players and fans at the scene are very satisfied with the current situation.

Regardless of whether the scene is good-looking or not, winning is the most important thing!
"brush!"

Lu Yuanzhi finally found a chance and hit a goal from beyond the three-point line.

"Pretty!"

"Wonderful!"

"Great job!"

"Max is awesome!"

This three-pointer caused a cheer from the Kings bench that was louder than the dunk just now.

Max made a three-pointer, does that mean the damn curse is over?

Are our touch sensations coming back?

Many Kings players looked at head coach Adelman, and Adelman also felt that his strategy of extreme defense + attacking the basket had been seen through by the Spurs, and it was time to make adjustments.

"Mike, Hido, go and replace Gerald and Doug!"

To be conservative, Adelman decided to put Cato and Lu Yuanzhi on the court, and replaced Turkoglu with a stronger defensive ability instead of Stojakovic.

With Bibby's reappearance, the Kings' offense became orderly again, and Turkoglu's three-pointer from the corner completely dispelled his worries.

That's right, our shooting touch is back!
As long as we put down those psychological baggage, our shooters will naturally stand out from the crowd!
Sure enough, since Lu Yuanzhi made the three-pointer, the Kings shooters who had no more strange ideas appeared one after another, each showing their shooting skills in the mid-to-long range.

With the support of outside firepower, Weber is also playing more like a duck in water.

Yes, although Weber is one of the last few inside singles masters in the league, he also struggled to attack in the face of Duncan's defense.

But with the support of his teammates, Webber's elusive behind-the-back pass made Duncan unable to guard against him. After putting more energy into preventing Webber's pass, Duncan missed Webber's attack basket.

Basketball is like this, the offensive side will always have a certain advantage, and when your rich skill set can be used, no matter how strong the defender is, they can't completely strangle your offense.

In the 7th minute of the fourth quarter, with 5 minutes left before the end of the game, the score between the two sides reached 68:74, and the Kings once again led by 6 points.

This was a rare low-scoring game for the Kings.The lineups for the decisive battle between both sides have all appeared.

The Spurs are David Robinson, Duncan, Ginobili, Bowen and Parker.

Compared to Stephen Jackson, Popovich still believes in the Argentinian's key ball ability.

However, due to physical limitations, Ginobili can only be his "half-court Jordan".

The Kings lineup is Divac, Webb, Lu Yuanzhi, Christie and Bibby.

The ugly defensive battle in the first few minutes gave Adelman more inspiration.

Although they can no longer give up offense and be an iron turtle, Christie's presence can give the team stronger defensive capabilities. Stojakovic, who has not yet evolved his main offensive ability, can indeed be replaced by Christie on the offensive end.

They are all waiting for the pass from the outside, and they are all cutting to find gaps. Even if Christie is a little worse than Stojakovic, he can definitely recover it from the defensive end.

The only thing to blame is that there are only 5 people who can play on the court, and this Kings team has too many people who can play!
After Parker faced Bibby's defense, he became more confident.

What kind of monsters were those who guarded him before?

Christie is a regular on the defensive front and second team, and Lu Yuanzhi has a huge range of control. Even Gerald Wallace, the water fountain manager who came up not long ago, is physically strong and can make him stagger around.

Finally, here comes a normal defender!

But Bibby was not sitting for nothing. Seeing Parker's disastrous shooting from beyond the three-point line, he simply took a step back when defending because of his high intelligence.

Don’t you know how to burst?
Come on, let me give you a chance to shoot. Do you dare to shoot?

Parker doesn't dare!

It's not that he doesn't have confidence in himself, and Popovich had already told him before he came on the court that he would break out when he had the chance and give the ball to Duncan if he didn't have the chance.

By this time, Parker had also been deprived of the right to fire from outside.

Parker tried several times, but couldn't do anything with Bibby's rogue defense. He could only drop the ball inside to Duncan.

Bibby didn't hesitate, just followed the ball and ran towards Duncan to implement his double team.

As for Parker, it's okay, this guy is not reliable in three-pointers, and he has two good brothers, Lu Yuanzhi and Christie, who can help defend.

The significance of Christie's appearance was revealed at this time.

If Stojakovic was present, Bibby would never dare to double-team Duncan so confidently. After all, the Yugoslavian is not that fast.

Duncan also has his considerations.

If the ball is passed out again at this time, it will probably be a repeat of the plot in the middle of the third quarter. The Kings actively rotate positions to fill the holes in the perimeter defense.

In this case, why not try a strong attack!

After all, although Bibby is fast, his size is limited. Maybe the effect of double-teaming is average?

Duncan quickly turned away from Bibby, and Webber had already expected that Duncan would turn this way and stood up early. However, facing Duncan's straight-arm rebound shot, Webber had no good solution and could only try his best. Give him physical contact and hope the ball doesn't go in.

There's nothing I can do about it. With a height of 213 centimeters and a wingspan of more than 230 centimeters, Duncan is really bullying!
The 208-centimeter Webb was hit so hard that he lost his weight and couldn't beat. He couldn't cover Duncan at all.

"Bang-swipe!"

Duncan hit the board and helped the team recover 2 points.

70:74, the Spurs were only 4 points behind.

"It's okay, Chris, if the Spurs can only rely on Duncan to play like this, they will definitely lose!"

Lu Yuanzhi walked to Weber and comforted him softly.

Weber naturally knew this too. He was not frustrated at all by being beaten by his opponent, but was very interested in what Lu Yuanzhi said just now.

"Not bad, rookie! You are on your way to becoming an excellent leader!"
