Chapter 316 Duncan on the free throw line

Lu Yuanzhi's attack did not result in any gains or penalties.

At the home court of the Spurs, you can't expect the referee to favor you whether you can call or not.

But Lu Yuanzhi is already very satisfied with the result.

Sure enough, as the old hooligan and himself judged, the Spurs' interior defense was impregnable.

Whenever he hesitates in this ball, he will give Duncan time to react, and then join forces with David Robinson to strangle him.

But now, the ball went in, the Kings withstood the round, and now all the pressure is on the Spurs.

In other words, it came to Duncan.

Although Duncan was still expressionless, Lu Yuanzhi knew that no one would be indifferent or nervous at this time. Duncan just hid it very well.

The Spurs naturally choose to launch their offense from Duncan.

They dare not gamble.

They also have no one to bet on.

Perhaps in a few seasons, Ginobili will be Popovich's first choice, but now, even if Popovich believes in Ginobili, he does not dare to put such a burden on the Argentine.

After all, he's just a first-year rookie.

Even if you have rich experience in the international arena, you are still a complete newcomer to the NBA. You have not proven yourself in this league at all.

Popovich is afraid of backing up the momentum. What if the failure at this time crushes the Argentine?
Therefore, after a period of conduction, the ball finally came to Duncan's hands.

As soon as Duncan assumed an offensive stance, Lu Yuanzhi rushed forward and slapped his ball-holding hand hard. Not only did he cut off the ball, but it also almost swelled Duncan's hand.

"Doo-doo-doo-"

The referee blew the whistle again without hesitation.

Lu Yuanzhi watched Duncan keep shaking his hands and nodded with satisfaction.

Webber is still too gentle, giving out fouls so easily and not getting any interest from Duncan?

You see, the effect of this foul was very good, it was committed cleanly, and Duncan's hand was hit hard.

It can affect his free throws to some extent!
Duncan stood on the free throw line and exhaled heavily.

He also knew that it was time to test his psychological quality.

Duncan majored in psychology at university and had not missed any homework in four years. Of course, he knew better than anyone how to give himself psychological hints at this time, but he ignored the stiff shooting feel and the pain in his hands.

"Dangdang!"

With everyone's attention, Duncan missed a free throw!
"I told you, he has a big beard in front of him!"

"His free throw shooting is totally unreliable!"

When Lu Yuanzhi saw this, he immediately loudly announced his "wisdom" to his teammates!
The Kings players' eyes also lit up. Yes, Duncan did miss the free throw as Max said.

Duncan's eyelids twitched and he cursed in his heart, I'm not a perfect shot, why are you excited about missing a ball?

But after all, Duncan didn't dare to say this.

If I show weakness at this time, I don’t know what my teammates will think.

He would not do anything to lower his morale.

Duncan received the referee's pass, stretched his body first, and then patted the ball a few times before shooting his second free throw.

"brush!"

Go in!

Duncan clenched his fists excitedly and couldn't help but look at Lu Yuanzhi, as if to say, "Boy, did you see that, I made a free throw!"

But at this time, Lu Yuanzhi's annoying voice came again.

"Did you see that Duncan made a lot of preparations before taking the free throw, which shows that he didn't even have the confidence to make the free throw!"

"I have to celebrate after scoring a free throw. It seems that he has acquiesced that he can't make the free throw!"

The Kings players believed that it was a good thing that no one noticed such a small move. Once Lu Yuanzhi reminded him, they immediately agreed with Lu Yuanzhi's statement.

That's right, those actions that Duncan had never done preserved his guilty conscience.

Duncan himself is afraid of free throws.

Why are you still hesitating?
Keep making him foul!Duncan was dumbfounded. How could these actions be interpreted in this way?
No, that's not what the book says. Don't get me wrong. I'm not afraid of free throws at all!

When the Kings attacked, because they felt that Duncan's free throws would definitely miss, everyone's minds were focused on the offense without too many distracting thoughts. The offense went surprisingly smoothly.

Bibby took advantage of the slight opening provided by Lu Yuanzhi's pick-and-roll and took action without hesitation.

What are you afraid of!
At this point, the opponent has Duncan as a free throw black hole. As long as we play our own ball well, the Spurs can't win at all!
"brush!"

Bibby also hit a long two-pointer.

At this anxious moment, the Kings scored in both attacks, and the lead reached 3 points.

This undoubtedly gives everyone another reassurance.

Look, in addition to Max, we also have Mike who can also score goals.

Our Kings offense is unstoppable.

Confidence is something that is given to each other. As long as someone can stand up and score, others will become confident, relaxed, and able to shoot goals.

When the Spurs attacked, Duncan was fouled again by Stojakovic and sent to the free throw line.

Peja is also experienced in battles and knows that fouls by outside players are worthless at this time. Even if he fouls for the fifth time, it will not affect the overall situation at all.

On the contrary, the fouls committed by Weber and Divac are very valuable. If Weber gets his fifth foul at this time, the next less than 2 minutes will be difficult.

Duncan went to the free throw line again after the Kings timeout.

Duncan remained calm.

Duncan still took action as usual.

The ball also flew straight to the basket.

"It won't go in!" Lu Yuanzhi, who was standing outside the 3-second zone, suddenly said, "This ball has no spin at all."

No one expected that the ball was still in the air, so Lu Yuanzhi made a conclusion.

Sure enough, the ball hit the back edge of the rim, bounced, and fell directly to the ground.

Did not enter!

It’s exactly what Lu Yuanzhi said, he didn’t make it!

Everyone standing around the 3-second zone, including the Spurs players, looked at Lu Yuanzhi.

Why does this kid know that this ball will not go in?

And he said it so calmly and with such certainty!

This guy knows magic?

Mysterious Eastern power?
Duncan widened his eyes and looked at Lu Yuanzhi in disbelief.

The moment the ball was thrown, he felt it.

The force was correct and the direction was correct. He didn't know how the ball could not go in!

Lu Yuanzhi remained calm on the surface, but in his heart he was overjoyed.

He is just betting.

If the bet is successful, Duncan's mentality will be greatly affected.

If you lose the bet, you seem to have no loss?
Then why don't you speak?
Moreover, Duncan's own shooting percentage is only about 60%. Isn't it normal to miss the free throw at such a critical moment?

The moment Duncan took the ball, Lu Yuanzhi spoke again, "This ball is too light!"

Duncan's hand trembled and he almost dropped it.

The last ball hit the back edge of the basket, and he did have the intention of shooting this ball lightly.

Is it possible that Lu Yuanzhi can see the future?

No, I want to increase my strength!

"Bang!" Duncan's shot hit the back edge again, and the rebound was confiscated by Weber.

Humph, Duncan, even if you have a bachelor's degree in psychology, haven't you still gained my way?
