NBA: Best point guard

Chapter 117 The old iron's confrontation is fierce

After Billups came up, he strengthened his defense against Zhao Qiang.

Zhao Qiang was not careless. Billups' defense was really strong, two gears better than Singler's.

So instead of being tough with Billups, he usually let his teammates cover, show his teamwork ability, and deal with the Buffaloes.

The Buffaloes slowly adapted to the cavalry's style of play and began to chase points.

Especially small forward Doron Schaeffer scored frequently after returning to the court, and the old iron couldn't guard him at all.

Although Zhao Qiang is also helping the old iron in defense, Duo Lun continues to suppress the Cavalry by using his height and basket skills.

With more than 2 minutes left in the first half, the score between the two sides came to 34:32, and the Cavalry led by 2 points.

Coach An Zuo immediately called a timeout. He had to make adjustments to try to take the lead at the end of the first half.

Zhao Qiang was physically exhausted, and he only had a 3-minute rest in the first half.

However, Zhao Qiang's control over the rhythm of the game is so good that he can "lazy and rest" on the court.

For example, when he was double-teamed, he squatted motionless in the corner, letting his teammates play 4 on 3, while he himself just rested.

Coach Anzuo held the tactical board and shouted: "Children, you have to be tough, old iron, where is your domineering? In the next game, I hope you can get two fouls within 2 minutes. Don't hurt the other party, just hit me hard!"

Lao Tie nodded a little ashamedly. His defense just now paid too much attention to skills and not enough confrontation.

Zhao Qiang understands what Lao Tie thinks. His matchup is a technical flow, so he also wants to use a technical flow of defensive moves.

But the game is not like this. What the technical players fear most is not the technical skills, but the unreasonable confrontation.

The time-out is over and the game continues.

The cavalry attacked.

Zhao Qiang advanced to the frontcourt again. Facing Billups, he did not attack by himself, but passed to Da Ben.

There are not many opportunities for Big Ben to take the initiative to attack today, because the opposite center has an advantage in height.

But he has made a lot of progress on the offensive end, and occasionally playing one, the effect is still very good.

After Daben received the ball, he saw Zhao Qiang's gesture and understood.

Taking advantage of the opponent's moment of confusion, he dribbled the ball towards the basket a few times, then turned around and made a small hook!

Snapped!

Hit the board.

The Buffalo players were very helpless, and they all spread their hands to each other, saying that it was not their responsibility.

Their attention was all on Zhao Qiang. They didn't expect Zhao Qiang's judgment on the court to be so accurate, which caught Da Ben by surprise!

At 36:32, the Cavalry led by 4 points.

The Buffaloes attacked and Billups passed the ball to small forward Doron Schaefer again.

Duo Lun played comfortably just now, so he was very confident and continued to chase after Lao Tie.

Unexpectedly, the moment he changed direction, Lao Tie slammed into him, bang!

In this confrontation, Duo Lun was stunned. He swayed and almost lost the ball.

When he came back to his senses, he was furious immediately. He was a little taller than Lao Tie, so he broke through for the second time and voluntarily bumped into Lao Tie.

Lao Tie did not show any weakness, continued to be tough, and collided with him.

You know, Lao Tie usually practiced fighting, and the muscles on his body were harder.

After the collision, Lao Tie was still in good shape, and Duo Lun grinned in pain.

Lao Tie didn't let it go, and after he finished the collision, he pressed his shoulder against Duo Lun's shoulder again.

boom!

Lao Tie used his dark energy, Duo Lun finally couldn't stand it anymore.

As soon as he tilted his body, the ball was out of his hands.

Lao Tie took the opportunity to break the ball and pass it to Zhao Qiang.

Zhao Qiang has been waiting by the side. When he saw the two collide, he knew that Lao Tie would steal the ball.

After receiving the ball, Zhao Qiang quickly crossed the half court, and Billups chased after him.

The fireplace is not Singler, his defensive skills are very strong, it is impossible for Zhao Qiang to layup easily.

So Zhao Qiang deliberately slowed down, waiting for Billups to be tied with him, and even let Billups surpass him by half a body.

The fireplace is also a bit strange, but he has already thought about it, no matter what method he uses, he must destroy Zhao Qiang's offense, because the Buffaloes are already 4 points behind.

If the score continues to be widened, the second half will be dangerous.

After Zhao Qiang slowed down, he got inside the three-point line, suddenly accelerated, turned a corner, and ran towards the bottom corner.

Billups' head was full of question marks, and he didn't understand Zhao Qiang's purpose.

He hesitated for a moment, but turned and chased after him.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when he was catching up, Zhao Qiang suddenly sped up and rushed towards the basket again.

It was too late for Billups to chase after him, because his center of gravity had already moved.

Zhao Qiang went to the basket, made an easy layup, and scored 2 points.

Billups was also tricked.

However, Billups is still very broad-minded. He smiled and gave Zhao Qiang a thumbs up.

Although he didn't say anything, as an opponent, his action was the highest compliment he could give to an opponent.

Zhao Qiang nodded slightly to express his thanks, then he greeted his teammates very calmly and returned to defense quickly!

The lead of the Cavaliers has come to 6 points, and the game time is only 52 seconds.

There is not much time left for the Buffaloes, and the first half will end soon.

It seems that they have no chance of tying or overtaking. Now it depends on whether they can score a goal and narrow the point difference first.

The head coach of the Buffaloes, Alan, was a little anxious. He paced back and forth on the sidelines, dancing and yelling.

Billups advanced with the ball. After halftime, facing Zhao Qiang's defense, he saw Duo Lun continue to reach out for the ball.

But he didn't pass it, because he could see that the old iron's defense had obviously strengthened.

And this attack is very important and must be completed.

So he's going to make one himself.

He called a screen, and center Alec came up to block Zhao Qiang.

Billups quickly changed direction and killed near the penalty area.

Facing Daben's defense, he played small and big, and made an emergency stop jumper, whoosh!

Get two points.

This offense showed the offensive ability of the fireplace, which is really silky.

With 27 seconds left in the first half, the Cavalry attacked, and the score came to 38:34, and the point difference returned to 4 points.

The Cavalry still had one full shot clock left.

Billups is very experienced. He yelled and asked his teammates to press the whole court. He also ran to the frontcourt to defend Zhao Qiang.

Zhao Qiang was very cautious, he knew that Billups was also quick to attack.

bass!

Zhao Qiang made a big change of direction and moved sideways for more than two meters before throwing Billups away and killing him halfway through.

He saw that his teammates were being heavily defended one-on-one, so he simply stopped passing the ball.

Zhao Qiang got to the three-point line in one go. Facing Duo Lun's defense, he began to retreat slowly.

Because there are still 16 seconds to attack, Zhao Qiang is not in a hurry and cannot give the opponent time to attack.

At this time, Billups also rushed over and stood in front of Zhao Qiang.

Time passed by second by second...
