The world of basketball

Chapter 138 Spurs Background Board.
The Staples Center arena was silent, and the fans were holding their breath, watching every move on the court.

Jimmy Butler is a giant, there is no doubt about it, and the last five minutes Butler once again proclaimed this to the Lakers fans and the world.

How do we judge whether a player is a superstar?
The first is his status in the arena, his signature ability, his scoring ability, rebounding ability, ability to influence the trend of the game, etc., and there is an indispensable, big heart.

For current superstars, we can all tell their most famous lore performances and key ball performances, such as the game where James beat the Magic, such as Curry’s ultra-long three-pointer logo shot lore against the Thunder, such as Durant The sky-defying three-plus-one (although the game against the Grizzlies seemed to be lost in overtime) and the death of the same position in the finals twice in a row, such as Wade "This is my horse", such as Paul facing Kawhi and Duncan sent the Spurs home in the first round of the tiebreaker in the playoffs, such as Lillard's lillard time lore against the Rockets, such as Irving's tiebreaker in the finals, such as Rose's front The Cavaliers who hit the board to kill James, let alone Kobe's lore can make a 10-minute highlight.

Too many, too many legendary stories have been staged in this league, and too many thrilling lore and anti-lore have been staged.

And tonight, Jimmy Butler was using this incredible key ball to close the point difference point by point, and finally tied the game, and the Lakers requested a timeout.

The Lakers have many players with strong key ball ability, and they have a lot of choices at the last moment. Not to mention the old James Adu DeRozan, Ball and Hart also had three-point lore performances last season.

The Lakers' offensive rhythm still looks fast this season, but they have started to play positions. When Vucevic comes to the Lakers, their offensive rhythm will probably be slowed down, and they must learn to be fast, slow and orderly.

Durant singled out Kuzma at the top of the arc. Kuzma, who is already a third-year student, has a very good defense now. It seems that he has gone further and further on the road of a 3D player.

But still can't guard Durant, maybe Tony Allen was able to defend Durant during the Thunder period, but it was not as embarrassing as the fans exaggerated, but now Durant, using the story in the martial arts novel Speaking of Durant, who has achieved great martial arts, and Durant who has practiced many kinds of peerless martial arts, it is already difficult to be guarded.

Durant suddenly accelerated like the one on the left, remembering that Kuzma rushed to the basket, and then pulled back, at this time you can see the horror of Durant's wingspan, and you can even see that this wingspan makes him How much does he benefit from.

Even if ordinary people deceive the defender's center of gravity, they can only change direction to open up a position at most, but even if Durant does not deceive the defender's center of gravity, a change of direction can open up a very large gap, and then get Enough shot time.

Just like this time, Durant threw off Kuzma to get a shot, a dry shot, and a mid-range shot.

Kuzma has already defended the ball very well, but Durant still scored. This is Kuzma. If a shorter player defends, it will be more difficult to defend.

Durant finally broke the 3-minute scoring drought for the Lakers, which drew cheers from the audience. Most importantly, these two points were crucial, allowing the Lakers to lead by two points.

The Spurs' final offense was still not handed over to the superstar singles, but they were running tactics to find the best opportunity.

Butler contributed a lot to the Spurs' excellent start this season, and so did everyone, but this is not the effort of one player, but the joint efforts of everyone.

The Spurs' key ball ability is also good. Both Jeremy Lin and Butler are players who have seen big scenes. Against the Warriors last season, Jeremy Lin scored a 50+ logo lore on Curry. The fans still vividly remember the scene .

As a tough guy on the court, Butler has never been soft on key shots.

Gay has been in this alliance for many years, so he naturally has a hand.

Even the young Mu Xiaobei and Kuzma have proved their key ball ability.

Mu Xiaobei made a pick-and-roll for Jeremy Lin from a high position. Jeremy Lin accelerated his charge and rushed to the basket. Then he hit the ground and passed the ball to Mu Xiaobei who cut outside the top of the arc. Mu Xiaobei handed it to Butler who came out of the bag .

Butler didn't shoot immediately after holding the ball. Although he was changing his style of play, he was still not used to the role of catch and shoot.

Mu Xiaobei pulled away, leaving Chandler to defend Butler.

This is a very good dislocation. Butler read the time on the stopwatch. When he waited for the last five seconds, he made a sudden acceleration, then pulled back, and took a three-pointer with a step back.

"Beep——" This is the sound of the end of the attack time.

"Shua—" This is the sound of the ball hollowing into the net.

Like a pot of cold water being poured into a pot of boiling water, the Staples Arena suddenly became silent. The away silencer, Butler used his key ball to lead again by one point.

Popovich was obsessed with running tactics, so he didn't let Butler grab one to ensure that the last attack was in his hands.

Fortunately, Butler's three-pointer stepped back and scored in the end, but it still left the Lakers with 20 seconds. Walton requested a timeout, and the Lakers served the ball in the frontcourt.

James received the ball and dribbled the ball outside to kill time. In the last eight seconds, Chandler came up to pick and roll. Now the Spurs are only leading by one point, which is not safe. Mu Xiaobei dare not just let James go and let him shoot, let alone cover Clamp Chandler, he has been teammates with James, and he clearly knows James' ability to distribute the ball.

Helpless, can only change defense.

James took a step forward, and Mu Xiaobei followed closely. He felt that James would definitely complete the attack by shooting.

With a difference of one point, this attack determines the outcome of the game.

James took a step back, and Mu Xiaobei's eyes lit up.

really!

Mu Xiaobei flew forward, and he seemed to see the moment he blocked James' jump shot, but he was a little puzzled. According to the seconds in his mind, there should be time to attack.

Could it be that I read it wrong?Or is James just trying to catch himself off guard?
But, but, but.

Just when Mu Xiaobei was puzzled, James took a step back and immediately accelerated, rushed to the basket, and then made a high throw, and the ball crossed a beautiful arc.

"Beep-"

The halftime whistle blew.

"Shh-"

The center of the ball enters the net.

A throw, added a big fire to the already cooled court.

"Hula--" Like boiling water, boiling oil, Staples fans were boiling, shouting, and celebrating. James and Durant embraced each other, happily welcoming their six-game winning streak.

And Mu Xiaobei, holding his head, stared blankly at the lights, and didn't say a word in this jubilant stadium.
