Starting from the last bus in the NBA

Chapter 160 Wang Hao's Performance

At 2 minutes and 14 seconds into the second quarter, Paul Westphal called a timeout again.

There is no way, the consecutive attacks just now missed, but the Spurs took advantage of the situation to open the score.

22:30
The point difference of 8 points is a very critical node. Once it is pulled to 10 points, the whole momentum will be different.

After the timeout, Paul Westphal did not delay and quickly made tactical arrangements.

Gary Payton attracted the defense, and then Wang Hao led the attack.

For such an arrangement, the Sonics as a whole did not have any objection, and it was very natural to accept such an arrangement.

After a season of baptism, Wang Hao's status in the team is already solid.

Returning to the game again, the Spurs' defensive formation is still two inside and three outside, which is quite a bit of zone defense.

Gary Payton organized the offense with the ball, and Wang Hao didn't ask for the ball directly, but ran first.

If you can run out of open space and make tactics easily, this is naturally the easiest.

Mario's defense was very active, and he didn't easily let Wang Hao get an open position. He could only catch the ball from the outside.

Tried a fake move, Wang Hao broke through directly, walked to the right, and killed towards the middle.

Today, Wang Hao's speed is not slow, he is not considered top in the NBA, but he is still very qualified.

Coupled with the fact that the defense was already passive, Wang Hao really rushed over when he was caught off guard.

Mario hastened to catch up, and at the same time, David Robinson was already subconsciously approaching the basket.

Wang Hao didn't bury his head and rush in, but just after stepping into the three-second zone, he suddenly stopped.

It has to be said that his way of playing is too rare, and Mario is caught off guard due to the lack of sample data.

Wang Hao had already jumped up and stopped his shot, Mario stabilized his center of gravity and was ready to block the shot.

Fortunately, he really rarely uses similar emergency stop jumpers, but it is not very difficult.

"Shh!"

The basketball crashed into the net and moved back for 2 points.

Naturally, the Spurs will not be in chaos once they lose the ball. They still follow their own rhythm, neither rush nor slow.

On offense, the basketball was firmly in the hands of David Robinson first because Duncan took a break.

Samaki Walker, who came off the bench, is obviously not Duncan and can contain the defense.

David Robinson was double-teamed as a matter of course, but Samaki Walker's mid-range shot was missed.

The offensive ball returned to the Supersonics again, and it was Wang Hao's offense again, and it was Wang Hao's breakthrough again.

This time, Mario was already prepared, but Wang Hao still broke through.

Of course, he didn't completely lose his position, but followed closely, preparing to double-team.

That's right, at this moment, David Robinson was already under the basket.

However, Wang Hao, who was traveling at high speed, suddenly turned his back, which was obviously a fake move.

Although it was a fake move, Mario didn't know it, but instinctively followed and defended, not letting go of half a step.

However, at this moment, Wang Hao immediately turned forward again, turning directly to face the basket.

Without any hesitation, he shot again.

"Shh!"

26:30
Seeing that Wang Hao scored two goals in a row, Popovich was furious from the sidelines.

"Defense, goddamn defense, everybody move for me, you hear?

David, expand your range of movement, don't just be under the basket. "

……

Perhaps because of being stimulated, David Robinson was ruthless in the attack. He was obviously an old guy, but he could still push through.

However, the effect is still there. Although he was lying on the ground, he successfully made a foul.

Two free throws and two hits helped the Spurs stabilize the situation.

In the supersonic attack, it was still Wang Hao who attacked fiercely, and Mario was broken through again.

This time, David Robinson really moved immediately, trying to surround Wang Hao in the middle distance.

Wang Hao should choose to pass the ball, right?Everyone thinks so.

No one would have guessed that Wang Hao suddenly accelerated, and pushed Mario, forcing his way between the two of them.

In such an instant, the Spurs' defensive formation was completely torn apart, and everyone was stunned.

It can't be said that he was stunned, but he instinctively wanted to make up for the defense to make up for this defensive mistake.

Unfortunately, the result is not so ideal.

Because Wang Hao has already passed the ball, Gary Payton made a confident shot after getting the ball from the position beyond the three-point line on the right side of the baseline.

Why Gary Payton, wasn't he still in a high position just now?How did you run to the bottom line?
Supersonic's style of play is not a purely standing style of play, and others naturally keep running and flowing at all times.

Regardless of Gary Payton's low three-point shooting percentage, it is actually because he makes more strong shots.

No way, with regard to the Sonics lineup, in the first two years, who could contain him on defense?
More often than not, he is holding the ball and making three-point shots. How can he have a high shooting percentage?
If it's really open, his three-pointers are not bad.

"Shh!"

29:32
With this three-pointer hit, the Sonics have chased the point difference to only 3 points.

Popovich didn't dare to delay, and quickly called a timeout, and his roar could be heard half a court away.

It's not surprising, just imagine Tony Parker, who is already the MVP of the finals, and Popovich has often caught him on the sidelines and pointed his nose and scolded him.

They have this qualification and this strength.

If you really want to change to another coach, the players probably quit long ago, not to mention rebellion, at least they have to break up.

To Popovich, the current level of shouting and scolding is considered very polite.

Paul Westphal was arranging tactics, and for some reason, he suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, as long as they are in the same industry, they like to watch each other's jokes, even these coaches are no exception.

Back in the game, Popovich directly arranged for Duncan to play, and I have to say that the effect was very good.

As soon as Duncan came on the court, he immediately hit a singles hit. Not everyone deserves the saying of Dinghaishenzhen.

And Duncan is definitely the pinnacle of the Spurs.

It's a pity that Duncan's appearance can solve the problem of the Spurs' offense, but what about defense?

Duncan has only one person, and it is impossible to defend against five people at the same time.

In basketball, why are offensive players always more important than defensive players?

Pure defensive players can become stars, but they cannot become historical superstars.

The reason is very simple, in the offense, there is only one basketball, and the offensive player alone can solve the problem.

But in defense, the defensive player needs to face five people from a whole team.

No matter how powerful you are, it is impossible to defend against five.

One person can solve the offensive problem, but one person cannot solve the defensive problem.

Duncan's playing is at most defensive, making the rotation faster and the judgment more accurate.

But he couldn't help Mario solve Wang Hao, nor could he help Johnson solve Gary Payton.

Wang Hao's continuous breakthroughs continued to tear the Spurs' defense, which forced the Spurs to shift their focus of defense.

But they had just focused their attention on Wang Hao, and Gary Payton on the other side came again.
