Nba: Load Doncic Template After Being Banned

118. Defense, Counterattack, Infecting The Audience Again!

Manu Ginobili is definitely a smart player.

Although his physical talent is not as strong as that of Mali Cross, but equally, his intelligence is far from that of a player with well-developed limbs and simple mind like Mali Cross.

You could even say he's "cunning"!

The smart Ginobili will not be irritated by the opponent's arrogance and pretense.

After personally defending Wang Zhi once, Ginobili was already thinking about how to defend.

In the Spurs round, Parker suppressed the rhythm, and after reaching the frontcourt, he waited for his teammates to move.

Duncan wanted a position at the basket, and Parker didn't get the ball at the first time because the Mavericks had done a good job in defense in advance, but on the other side, Ginobili used Bowen's off-ball screen to complete a back run.

Parker has quick eyes and quick hands, and immediately passed the ball.

After receiving the ball, Ginobili rushed to the basket with big strides. Facing LaFrentz's supplementary defense, he didn't hesitate at all. basket succeeded.

12:14

The morale of the fans at the scene was extremely high, because the Spurs' goal vented a lot.

Although morale is on the side of the Mavericks, it is undeniable that the Spurs are the top team in the league after all.

Even in this adversity, they are still able to stabilize the situation.

This reflects Popovich's way of running the army. Under his leadership, the Spurs have become the most disciplined team in the league in recent years!

Some media even commented: If the teams in the league are ranked according to discipline, then the San Antonio Spurs are a team like an army!

Similar to the discipline of the army, perhaps a bit exaggerated.

But obviously, in this Spurs team, most players played quite reasonably, and they didn't even have any emotions on the court.

Like their leading player, super big man Tim Duncan, there is only one thing on the court, play.

On him, you can't see any emotional changes at all, and you can't even see the changes in his expression.

Therefore, he won the outer layer of a "Stone Buddha" for himself.

No matter how strong Wang Zhi's personal offense is, it can't change the fact that the Mavericks' defense is really weak.

In this way, Popovich doesn't have to worry at all. As long as the Spurs can play the offense well, the Spurs will be able to play the advantage after Wang Zhi's state cools down.

He really didn't believe that Wang Zhi's abnormally accurate state could last the entire game.

On the field, it was the Mavericks' turn to attack.

After Nash dribbled the ball through the frontcourt, he still planned to pass the ball to Wang Zhi.

This offensive intent is very obvious!

Wang Zhi feels very hot now, he has scored 12 points in a row, as long as the Spurs don't double-team him, they will keep giving until Wang Zhi can't score.

Once the Spurs put Wang Zhi on defense, the Spurs' defensive formation will inevitably have loopholes. With Wang Zhi's passing level, coupled with the Mavericks' lineup where everyone can shoot, it is also easy to have opportunities.

From a strategic level, the Mavericks are now at an absolute leading level.

Because no matter what the Spurs choose on the defensive end, it is a cup of poison for them.

Once again Wang Zhi came out of the off-screen to catch the ball, and Finley set him just fine.

However, just as the Mavericks fans were preparing to witness Wang Zhi's performance again, an accident happened.

After Spurs player Manu Ginobili collided with Finley when he bypassed the screen, it was like hitting a wall, and he was hit by a huge impact and "bounced to the end.

Beep!

The referee's whistle was slightly delayed for half a second, but it still sounded.

Called the Mavericks for a covering foul on Michael Finley.

The Spurs have the ball.

Regarding this, Wang Zhi who had just received the ball was a little confused, and the fans at the scene were also a little confused.

A good offense, but lost the ball because of an offensive foul.

Only the person concerned, Michael Finley, said to the referee excitedly: "Diving! This is definitely a diving! I didn't use any force at all, and he fell down. Besides, with my tonnage, how could he fly out like this when he hit me? ? This is completely flopping!"

As the field captain of the Mavericks, Finley is the team's big brother regardless of age or seniority. Logically speaking, he should be the most calm player on the field.

But at this moment, Finley was not calm at all.

He excitedly complained to the referee, expressing his grievances.

However, the penalty has already been made, and the referee can only explain to Finley: "If it just hit you, it would not call a foul, but obviously, you exerted force in this screen, that is an irregular The screen move, so, can only be a foul... 11

Finley held his head in his hands, and helplessly returned to defense, shaking his head while retreating.

He knew that no matter how much he defended, it would be of no avail. At the moment, he could only throw himself into defense as soon as possible.

Manu Ginobili, who was pulled up by his teammates, rubbed his waist pretendingly, with some painful expressions on his face.

It looked as if it had been knocked into the air.

As the so-called full set of acting, Manu Ginobili's acting skills are really good.

The ball just now was the embodiment of his "wisdom".

Obviously, those smart players who have no physical advantage in the NBA will always work hard in some sideways and contribute to the home team within the limits allowed by the rules

Perhaps, in the eyes of the opponent, this kind of behavior is contemptible.

But in the eyes of the home team fans, it is commendable.

After the slow motion was played on the big screen at the scene, there were still some boos at the scene.

Although Ginobili's "flop" is very realistic, even in slow motion, it is difficult to find flaws.

But Mavericks fans naturally believe in their team captain.

Michael Finley was so excited at the time, it is enough to show that this must be a "flop",

When it's hot, even if it's not a flop, the home fans have to create that atmosphere, put pressure on the referee on duty, and try to get some home whistle.

If you don't do this, then playing at home will probably lose its original meaning.

Amid the boos all over the court, the Spurs attacked with the same coordination. Ginobili once again ran back to catch the ball and broke through to attack the frame.

Last time, he passed Wang Zhi with a very weird "European step" and made a layup.

This time, he intends to repeat the old trick!

The significance of Popovich on Ginobili [is his output on the offensive end!

Specifically, it is to rely on Ginobili to hit Wang Zhi in a targeted manner.

Wang Zhi's movement speed is not fast enough, which is his well-known shortcoming.

So let Ginobili, who is good at breakthroughs, play against Wang Zhi and consume Wang Zhi's physical strength on the defensive end. In fact, he is also consuming Wang Zhi's threat on the offensive end in a different direction.

This strategy is common in the NBA.

For the opponent's super scorer, either double-team or attack him!

And to attack him, this way of killing two birds with one stone is obviously more cost-effective than double-teaming.

Last time, Ginobili made it easy. He took advantage of Wang Zhi's slow lateral movement, made a serpentine breakthrough and scored a layup.

This time, Ginobili repeated his tricks.

However, when he slid the ball towards Wang Zhi's side, he suddenly lightened his hand, and he had already made a coherent posture for a breakthrough layup.

was cut!

A fast, precise and ruthless cut is Wang Zhi's biggest response in this defense!

After cutting the ball, Wang Zhi launched a counterattack immediately. He didn't stick to the ball, and directly gave the ball to Steve Nash, who immediately held the ball and accelerated.

Nash's speed is not slow. Although Parker, the small sports car of the Spurs, was also active in chasing and defending, Nash got rid of Parker with a change of direction.

But Nash, who was looking at the six-way, gave up this easy scoring opportunity and passed the ball to Michael Finley who followed up.

swish!

Three points hit!

15:14

The Mavericks overtook the score!

Here, let's party again!

Perhaps in the eyes of some coaches and even some fans, Steve Nash's offensive choice is unreasonable.

He didn't choose a chance that was almost 100% able to score two fast break points, but instead passed the ball to bet on a three-pointer.

No matter how you look at it, it's not reasonable.

But in the eyes of Mavericks coach Nelson, this choice is the most correct.

Obviously, if you only look at scoring expectations, then the expectation of 100% two-pointers is much higher.

After all, Finley's three-point shooting percentage is only in the early 40s. Even if the shooting percentage is increased to 60%, the expected score of a three-pointer is only 1.8 points.

It is unreasonable to put this situation on other teams.

But in the Mavericks, the situation is completely different.

As we all know, the Mavericks are a team that relies on three-pointers to play an offensive frenzy.

Numerous games have proved that only when they shoot a good three-pointer will they have an advantage and even have a higher chance of winning.

And once the three-pointer misses, most of them will lose the game.

The game before tonight just confirmed this point.

Even though Wang Zhi's personal state is so unsolvable, the Spurs are still leading because of the Mavericks' three-pointers at the start.

Under such circumstances, they urgently need to make a three-pointer to open the situation.

Wang Zhi scored a "fairy" three-pointer before, but it was not enough, far from enough.

Only when the whole team shoots, the Spurs' defense will be afraid of it. Otherwise, if they shrink their defense, the Mavericks' offense will not be able to play that kind of explosive attack wave.

As long as you know this, then Steve Nash's choice is reasonable.

The old fans of the Mavericks at the scene naturally understand.

However, this time, the names of the players they shouted in their cheers were not Finley who scored a three-pointer, nor Nash who gave an assist.

Instead, he made a beautiful cut and caused the counterattack to be initiated by Wang Zhi!

"Wang's performance was simply fantastic. The cut was clean, and the fast break was too decisive!"

"That's right, let Ginobili dive again, Wang Zhi will give him a response immediately!"

"It's too tough. This is what a leader should have. If you want me to say, the Mavericks should get back on their feet!"

"Hahaha, there's nothing wrong with saying that, but I also like the old captain Michael Finley, alas, it seems a bit difficult now."

Wang Zhi really felt that he was different tonight.

But what exactly is different is not very clear.

It's because his temperament is different... It seems that, before, he had the meaning of "sit hard and taste courage". Now, everything is on the right track, and he can finally feel proud.,

or

The position is different, and it seems to be the same. He used to be just one of the important rotations of the Mavericks, but as the old Nelson infused him with the concept of "leader", tonight's sudden "advancement"

", everything seems to be coming to fruition.

Or, the status is different. Now Wang Zhi dares to show off, dare to express his personality and appeal. There is nothing for him to be afraid of. He can be himself bravely.

!

For a successful defense, he can raise his hands high to welcome the worship of the fans.

His teammates all praise him!

Whether it's Mavericks captain Michael Finley, the team's top scorer Dirk Nowitzki, or the team's core Steve Nash, all of them are smiling.

Sincere encouragement!

This is the most precious thing in this team!

Although the Dallas Mavericks have three cores, none of them have a domineering leader like Kobe!

But just like this, the atmosphere in the locker room of this team is full of inclusiveness, joy, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

This is the most suitable environment for rookies to grow.

When a rookie achieves results, everyone will encourage him and even give him help.

And Wang Zhi grew up in such a hotbed and rose rapidly!

He knew very well that this kind of environment was very rare.

If there is a competitive core player like Kobe in other teams in the league, then even if Wang Zhi only has a system and loads a template, if he wants to grow to

Today's stage, two or three years, may be relatively smooth.

If it is not done well, the boss of the team will be jealous and feel that he has challenged the authority, and Wang Zhi is likely to be traded to other teams.

Then I met a new "boss", repeated the cycle, and finally played out slowly.

This kind of example is not uncommon in the NBA. After a few years, it is very lucky to finally play out slowly.

What's more, he disappeared from the crowd, and then (Wang Li's) was eliminated by the NBA.

There are too many such geniuses, whether it is a university star or a European genius, who comes to the NBA and encounters such a situation and is "unaccustomed to the water and soil", and eventually loses players, every year

There will be many.

Fans say they don't adapt to the intensity of the NBA, but in fact, adapting to a team's locker room and team culture is far more important than adapting to black intensity.

To put it bluntly, these players did not have a dazzling starting point!

Not the No. 1 pick, not even a high-ranked lottery pick. When the team is not taken seriously, it is difficult to have a chance to stand out.

Even if he seizes the opportunity, he will be pushed down by the "boss" of the team just as he has a rising trend.

Fortunately for Wang Zhi, so are the fans of the Mavericks.

They are thankful that their favorite team has an owner who loves basketball so much, they are thankful that the Mavericks have a coach like Nelson from Legendary, and they are thankful that the Mavericks are willing to open

Only by expanding overseas markets did they bring super talents like Dirk Nowitzki and Wang Zhi.

They are even more grateful that they can support such a different team.

Watching the Mavericks players smile on the court, they seem to have seen the glorious future of this team!

The atmosphere at the entire American Airlines Center site is continuing to rise, and this situation makes Popovich and his arrival more and more difficult!

They have adjusted many times since the start of the game, but even though the overall state of the Mavericks was not good at the start, it was only through a big explosion of one person that the team was defeated.

Morale has risen to an unprecedented height!

As an experienced coach, Gregg Popovich has just realized at this moment: "The young man of the Mavericks has great potential!"

This kind of potential is not the performance on the court that can be realized in the future.

It's the huge infectious power contained in his spirit!

If this kind of appeal can be developed, then in the future, this young man may become a terrifying figure who calls for one party, or even calls for an era!.
