I'm really not a 3D player

Chapter 146
The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Spurs replaced Ginobili, who had been resting on the bench for a long time, and prepared for the final battle.

Parker dribbled forward and came outside the three-point line to organize the offense.

Duncan quickly came up to do a good job in the pick-and-roll.

Meanwhile, Jefferson steps up and sets an off-ball screen for Ginobili.

The little French sports car bypassed the screen and broke into the three-point line. Seeing Ginobili cutting towards the basket, he immediately passed the ball to the ground.

Ginobili, who was on the move, received the pass, took a smart European step, shook off Maggette, who was switching defenses, rushed to the basket and scored a layup.

The Warriors quickly sent a baseline pass. Sun Yi dribbled the ball quickly and came to the three-point line. Seeing that Blair was defending him, he waved to the inside.

Randolph quickly left the restricted area and brought Duncan out.

On the other side, Sun Yi didn't wait for Randolph to step forward to complete the pick-and-roll, and suddenly accelerated, passing Blair in one step and rushing into the penalty area.

Seeing this situation, Duncan, who was pulled out, immediately moved laterally to block, delaying Sun Yi's breakthrough speed.

Sun Yi attracted Duncan's defense, hit the ball to the ground and passed it to the middle.

Randolph, who went down, received the pass, immediately took three steps and rushed into the penalty area, soared into the air, and dunked the ball vigorously into the basket with one hand.

Looking back, Duncan came to the right low post to attract double teams and passed the ball out.

Parker received the pass, quickly started to break towards the basket, leaned on Curry to shoot an arrow and threw the ball into the basket.

It was the Warriors' turn to attack. With the help of double screens, Curry went outside the three-point line, received a predictive pass from Sun Yi, and hit a three-pointer with a knife in his hand, narrowing the point difference to only 2 points.

In the next game, the Warriors and Spurs used their offensive strengths to help the teams score.

At the last moment, no one dared to make mistakes, so there were fewer pass cuts and empty cuts.

On the Spurs bench, Popovich looked at the situation on the court, frowning.

The Warriors' performance tonight was beyond his expectation, especially the Naoshizi tactics, which allowed the Warriors to reverse the situation. Even after the Spurs increased their defensive intensity, the Warriors were able to score points with various combinations.

With about 2 minutes left in the game, Ellis hit a three-pointer from the outside, rewriting the score to 93-92, and the Warriors went ahead by 1 point.

On the Spurs bench, Popovich immediately requested a timeout and called the players back to the bench to arrange tactics.

"Tim, are you still physically strong?" Popovich stepped forward and asked with concern.

Duncan took the mineral water handed by the staff, took a sip and replied: "Pop, I can still play this game."

Popovich nodded with confidence, gathered the players together, wrote on the tactical board, and then said: "Next, give the ball to Tim and let him handle the ball."

The Spurs players nodded after listening, expressing their understanding.

Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.

Parker dribbled to the outside of the three-point line and lobbed the ball into the paint.

In the mid-range area on the right, Duncan received the pass, turned around, and faced Randolph in singles.

Randolph was nervous and excited. He was suppressed by Duncan throughout the game. At this critical moment, he wanted to prove that his defensive ability was not bad.

Immediately, Randolph lowered his center of gravity to prevent Duncan from breaking through.

During the timeout, the old Nelson told him that if he really couldn't defend, he would not let go.

Duncan took a tentative step, raised his hand to make a shooting motion, and found that Randolph hadn't pounced on him, and then faked it for real, and shot a mid-range jumper.

Randolph reacted immediately, instead of rushing to interfere, he took a step forward and stretched his arms to interfere.

"boom!"

The basketball rebounds into the basket after being hit.

93: 94!

The audience suddenly burst into warm cheers and shouts.

Spurs fans shouted in unison: "Defense!"

"Duncan is still extremely stable. Now the pressure is on the Warriors. Let's see how Sun Yi and the others handle the next attack." Director Zhang worriedly analyzed the situation on the court.

On the court, Sun Yi controlled the ball and advanced to the top of the arc to organize the attack.

Curry and others used the "elevator door" tactic to attract the Spurs' defensive attention.

Ellis in the right corner suddenly started and made an air cut to the basket along the baseline.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Sun Yi passed the ball.

Xiao Gongju received the pass, avoided the interference of Ginobili who was chasing behind him, flew to the basket and scored.

95: 94!

Looking back, the Spurs repeated their tricks, and Duncan once again singled Randolph face-to-face.

This time Randolph defended very well and seriously interfered with Deng's dull shooting.

Sun Yi retreated to the basket to grab the rebound and quickly advanced to the frontcourt.

The Spurs retreated in a timely manner and did not give the Warriors a chance to counterattack.

Falling into the positional battle, Sun Yi beckoned to Curry and made tactical gestures.

Seeing this, the elementary school student understood and ran over quickly. Instead of doing a pick-and-roll, he passed by Sun Yi, received the pass hand by hand, and ran towards the top of the arc.

After Sun Yi passed the ball, he took advantage of the situation and blocked Parker, who was chasing him.

Curry came to the top of the arc and quickly threw the basketball in his hand just as the Spurs defender arrived.

Swish!
Hollow into the network!

98: 94!

At the critical moment, Duncan stood up for the Spurs. He came to the low post to attract double-teams, and then sent a wonderful pass.

Ginobili cut in from the middle, received the pass and flew for a layup and scored 2 points.

At this time, there were 40 seconds left before the end of the game, and the Warriors led by 2 points.

On the Warriors' bench, Old Nelson requested a timeout to arrange this crucial attack.

"Break it all out and give the ball to Sun for a post-up."

Old Nelson felt that Sun Yi's back-up was the most stable way to score.

The rest of the Warriors had no objections and nodded in agreement.

Not long after, the timeout came back and the Warriors attacked.

After receiving the ball, Curry dribbled forward without rushing, and came outside the three-point line, pressing the time.

Ellis and others took their defenders away.

Sun Yi ran to the weak side and leaned on Blair to reach for the ball.

On the Spurs bench, Popovich saw the Warriors' tactics and was not surprised.

A player like Sun Yi simply cannot be viewed as a rookie.

On the court, Sun Yi received the pass, lowered his shoulders and lowered his center of gravity, hitting Blair's chest crazily.

Although Blair is physically strong, he can't help tossing like this.

He wanted to go down and draw a foul.

But at the critical moment, the referee will basically not call the penalty if the action is not too big.

Blair is a rookie, so he won't bet on star whistle.

After Sun Yi knocked out some space, he shook Blair's center of gravity by shaking his shoulders left and right, and then turned around and made a jumper.

Blair couldn't react and could only watch Sun Yi make a shot.

"Shh!"

The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
100: 96!

"Good shot! Sun Yi's fadeaway jumper is just as standard as a textbook!" Yang Jian said with emotion.

"Sun Yi's fadeaway looks like Kobe. If I hadn't seen the Warriors' No. 9 jersey, I would have thought it was Kobe playing on the court." Director Zhang insisted.

Back on the court, when Sun Yi was retreating from defense, he deliberately passed by the Spurs bench and celebrated with "good night" in front of Popovich.

Seeing this scene, Popovich understood what the rookie wanted to express, and laughed out of breath.

At this moment, he felt that this guy was like a young man who had just entered the league.

How can there be a young player who is not frivolous!
On the court, the Spurs launched an attack.

At this stage, a quick two-pointer can no longer solve the problem, and we can only bet on a three-pointer.

A sports car in adversity is a Buddha in adversity, and a demon sword in a desperate situation slashes demons!
In a desperate situation, you can only rely on Ginobili.

But this time the demon knife was blunt and failed to finish the kill.

Faced with Sun Yi's impenetrable defense, Ginobili made continuous crossovers, then suddenly stepped back to the right, and took off and shot in one go.

Sun Yi was not shaken away by the effect of the badge [Death Coil], and immediately rushed to interfere.

Clang!
The basketball bounced out of the hoop and missed!
Curry luckily picked up the rebound and held it tightly in his arms, waiting for the game to end.

The Spurs players did not take foul tactics either, and walked towards the bench with frustration.

With the piercing beep, the game came to an end.

In the end, the Warriors beat the Spurs 100-96, ending their two-game losing streak.

In terms of statistics, Sun Yi won the honor of the best player of the game without any suspense.

在上场的40分钟内，砍下了21分13篮板8助攻3盖帽的准三双数据。

In addition, the Warriors also had 3 players who scored in double figures.

库里在上场的38分钟内，三分球13投7中，砍下23分3篮板5助攻1抢断的全面数据。

Ellis scored 19 points and 2 assists; Randolph scored 12 points and 8 rebounds.

For the Spurs, the best player is Duncan.

在上场的37分钟内，砍下了20分12篮板4助攻2盖帽的全面数据。

吉诺比利得到19分3篮板4助攻；帕克拿到22分6助攻2抢断的数据。

After the game, Popovich took the initiative to shake hands with his mentor Nelson.

"Teacher, the players under your command have unlimited potential and a promising future!"

"Pop, I don't like you. I know the players under my hands best. Don't use any crooked ideas to poach the wall."

After exchanging pleasantries, the master and apprentice said goodbye to each other, and then walked towards the player tunnel.

At the same time, Sun Yi was being interviewed by media reporters on the sidelines.

"Sun, first of all, congratulations on your victory over the Spurs. At the same time, you have achieved a quasi-triple-double data. You performed very well."

Before asking questions, reporters sent congratulations as usual.

"Thank you." Sun Yi replied with a smile on his face.

"The Warriors played very well in this game tonight. They defeated the strong and made an upset. What do you think is the main reason why you can beat the Spurs?" a media reporter asked.

"The Spurs are very strong. They have the best power forward in the league. It is not easy to defeat them. Fortunately, I have a group of teammates who unite and help each other. We have won this hard-won victory with our concerted efforts." Sun Yi replied in a regular manner.

"Whether you say the best power forward is Tim Duncan?" asked the media reporter.

"That's right." Sun Yi admitted generously.

"But Duncan is 33 years old and has passed his prime. How do you think he is the best power forward in the league at this stage, not other players?"

"In my mind, Tim is the best power forward in the history of the league, bar none. I learned a lot from him."

Sun Yi knew that the reporter was setting him up, so he still told the truth.

"Last question, does the new tactic you use tonight have a name? I think you will use it frequently in subsequent games. After all, the effect is very good." The media reporter asked.

"This is a new tactic developed by the coaching staff. It's called the 'elevator door' tactic. It's like shutting down the elevator to keep the opponent out. Isn't it very vivid." Sun Yi replied jokingly.

The media reporters nodded one after another, with such a picture in their minds.

After the post-match interview, Sun Yi, escorted by security personnel, squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the player tunnel.

After returning to the locker room, Sun Yi said hello to his teammates, then sat down in front of his locker and chatted with Curry beside him.

Not long after, Nelson led the coaching team to the locker room, conducted a short post-match summary as usual, and then sent the players to wash and shower.

After the players finished showering, Nelson left the arena with all members of the Warriors, got on the bus and went back to the hotel where he was staying to rest.

……

……

On January 1, the league announced the major awards for December.

Eastern Conference Head Coach of the Month went to Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown.

This guy embraced LeBron James and won the best head coach last season for nothing.

Therefore, hugging the thigh is also a profound technique.

The Western Conference Coach of the Month goes to Phil Jackson of the Los Angeles Lakers.

This guy can be called the originator of thigh hugging. During his coaching career, he first hugged Jordan's thigh, then hugged peak O'Neal's thigh, and finally hugged peak Kobe's thigh.

Immediately afterwards, the most important player of the month award was announced.

In the East, Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award.

在12月的比赛中，他以场均28.6分7.4篮板7.6助攻的数据，带领骑士队获得了14胜3负的优异战绩。

In the West, the star of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, averaged 31.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.9 steals per game, leading the Lakers to a record of 12 wins and 12 losses in December, and won the Western Conference. players.

Finally, the best rookie award was announced.

In the East, Jennings encountered a rookie wall in December, and his data dropped sharply. He was overtaken by his competitor Taj Gibson.

在12月的比赛中，吉布森场均能够得到12.6分8.6篮板2.4助攻1.5盖帽的全面数据，首次获得东部月最佳新秀奖项。

In the west, Sun Yi won this honor without any suspense.

Although his data has declined, he still defeated his two competitors, Evans and Curry.

在12月的比赛中，孙逸场均能够得到19.2分10.6篮板8.4助攻1.8盖帽的全面数据，蝉联了西部月最佳新秀奖项。

The system did not give any rewards for winning the Best Rookie of the Month again, which was expected by Sun Yi.

If the awards can be repeatedly rewarded by the system, Sun Yi said that he can squeeze out the system's wool.
