Chapter 274 Team Spurs
"Manu!" At the time of the free throw, the commentator at the ATT Center Arena shouted Manu Ginobili's name.He scored 1 points in just 5 minute to help the team tie the score.
Tim Duncan has not won the best defensive player, but many media and ball critics believe that the league owes Tim Duncan a best defensive player.Almost every time he is voted for the best defensive player in the league, he will have a very good ranking, but he always misses this award.
According to the statistics of many media, from 2000 to the present, Tim Duncan is the player who has received the most votes in these seasons, and he has left far behind the four-time best defensive player Ben Wallace and the three-time best defensive player. Best Defensive Player Dwight Howard.
As the game progressed, Tim Duncan, who was a bit slow, began to play a role on the defensive end.attack?Now that I'm old, I'll leave the offense to those two guys who are slightly younger than me.Although Manu Ginobili, who has just shined on the offensive end, is only one year younger than him.
However, his performance on the defensive end is indeed very good. Chris Paul was finally able to get rid of Manu Ginobili's defense, but Tim Duncan behind him was always like a tall city wall in time. Appearing in front of him, unlike the Thunder's Serge Ibaka, after Tim Duncan suffered from plantar fasciitis and still led the team to win the championship in 2005, his physical condition has declined day by day.
After 07, he has begun to hand over the scepter in his hands to the other two in GDP. He is still the core of the team's offense and defense, but it is more manifested in tactics than in his statistics.
Although on the defensive end, because of his speed and the decline in bounce, he can no longer play as many excellent defensive statistics as before. Many people have forgotten how this former Wake Forest Flying Devil blocked shots, but Kenyon Martin of the Clippers Will definitely remember. In the 03 finals, as a direct match against Tim Duncan, he had the deepest impression on this flying devil.
However, due to his declining physical fitness, his defense in this game is more solved by using his own consciousness. His movement speed is not fast, but the start time is obviously faster than Serge Ibaka.Usually Tim Duncan gets there early and is already stuck in position while Serge Ibaka is still judging which way Chris Paul will go.
Chris Paul suddenly lost his magic in the first half. After his offense was blocked, he could only have all the opportunities on Anson.
And Anson is not in a good state tonight. Kawhi Leonard, a rookie, looks young, with the same unsmiling face as Tim Duncan, and also has the same defensive attitude and strength .
An Sheng has been cheered up just after he interfered with the first ball. He has long stopped treating this 20-year-old guy as a rookie, after all, he is only 20 years old.
During the playoffs, Anson's dribbling has made great progress, especially breakthroughs. I don't know how many times he directly broke through Kevin Durant in the playoffs, and it also made a lot of media think about Kevin Durant. Lante complained on the defensive end, because in everyone's impression of An Sheng, although his breakthrough is top-notch, it is not as easy as crossing the road.
It was also easy for An Sheng to pass Kawhi Leonard this time, but just as An Sheng made a 100% prepared breakthrough this time and passed the small stone Buddha in front of him, he ran into another big stone Buddha at the first moment, and was caught The moment he stopped, the little stone Buddha behind him also blocked An Sheng's passing position.
These two guys who looked cold and didn't have a smile at all didn't communicate at all, but they showed a very tacit cooperation in defense. It was extremely surprising to see that the Clippers' opening was Jordan, but this pass The route is completely blocked.
After failing to pass the pass in the first instant, he would not have any good chances to complete this pass again.But what is even more tragic is that he has already stopped the ball. As the king of steals, when he was about to find a pass in a better position, the tacit understanding between the two stone Buddhas was suddenly shown.
Tim Duncan forced Anson to protect the ball at the back, and Kawhi Leonard's skill quickly took out the pass in Anson's hands.
This scene made the Clippers players face each other on the bench one by one. What the hell is going on? I have only seen An Sheng complete such a death entanglement in the hands of others before. I have never seen him in such a mess.
The Spurs immediately launched a counterattack. Kawhi Leonard played extremely well. Although he was half a body ahead of Anson, he decisively gave the ball to Manu Ginobili who followed up. , A direct layup allowed the Spurs to complete the lead.
And these two points are already the smallest point difference for the Clippers in this game. In the next game, the Spurs showed a very beautiful team defense, and Kawhi Leonard played an excellent personal defense .
I don’t know if it’s because he didn’t adapt to the basket in the ATT Center Arena. An Sheng’s long-range shots under Kawhi Leonard’s defense tonight were inaccurate, and he missed consecutive three-pointers and jump shots. It is impossible to play that kind of unsolvable scorer, at least tonight.
Although Chris Paul played well at the beginning, his scoring ability was suddenly limited, although he could still pass the ball to his teammates.
Jason Richardson scored 7 points in 4 of 15 three-pointers, and Blake Griffin scored 18 points and 9 rebounds, but it is obviously a matter of relying on that group of role players to defeat the Spurs who are more team. very difficult thing.
Chris Paul scored 10 points in the first quarter, but only 17 points and 11 assists in the end. Anson just scored 19 points on 7 of 20 shots. This is for a player who averaged nearly 35 points in the last round For the players, it can already be described as abnormal performance.
On the Spurs side, the Big Three played steadily, with both guards scoring 20+ points, and more importantly, a total of seven of them scored in double figures.Tim Duncan's 17 points, Kawhi Leonard's 15 points, Danny Green's 13 points, Gani Neal's 12 points, Stephen Jackson's 12 points, compared to only 4 points For the Clippers in double figures, this Spurs played more team.They defeated the Clippers 97:88, the point difference is not big, but the Clippers have never had a chance to recover.
