NBA: I just want to play soy sauce, you let me win the championship

Chapter 310 I want to be the most stable cornerstone

Duncan's people are all numb. The last offensive ball came over and a rookie was brought in.

This time the ball came over, and another rookie was brought over, and it was the most vicious rookie, Max Lu!
Duncan almost wanted to curse!
How do you want me to fight this?
Although David Robinson is still standing on the court, the Spurs are also very familiar with the twin tower tactics, but can this be the same?
In the past, the reason why I played with David Robinson in the twin towers was because the help defender would usually be another insider. Duncan could complete the inside pass with David Robinson and directly attack the opponent's basket.

But now, Cato is standing inside and watching, ready to protect the basket at any time. He has no intention of coming to help defend. Naturally, he cannot play the familiar inside-passing cooperation.

As for these three outside players who may help defend, needless to say Lu Yuanzhi, it is not a big problem to let him play as a power forward. And the rookie Gerald Wallace, who comes to help defend for the first time, is more than 2 meters tall. He is tall, muscular, not bad in strength, and is fierce in defense. Duncan dare not release the ball directly for fear of being cut off.

The remaining Doug Christie is an expert in assisting defense!
These three people are here to double-team, what do you want Duncan to do?

What's more, behind him stood Chris Webber, an All-Star power forward who couldn't stand a chance against him.

Duncan's only option is to pass the ball to the open space outside again.

As a result, we encountered the previous scene. The three perimeter players of the Kings were extremely athletic and rotated around each other to directly fill the holes.

This is still a hair!
But we have to fight!

Duncan smartly turned towards the basket, drawing Lu Yuanzhi closer to the baseline, and then used his long arms to pass the ball to the open Stephen Jackson.

The Kings also have a point when they choose to let the person who defends Stephen Jackson help defend Duncan every time.

Stephen Jackson's three-point shooting is not as reliable as Parker and Bowen, so most of the time, he will choose to break into the basket, but at this time, Cato stays at the basket to protect the basket, leaving Wu Sheng's only offensive option. Lower shot.

But how can the three-point shooting rate of less than 30% support the Spurs' offense? Moreover, the Kings' outside rotation is extremely fast, and the players who come over to defend can more or less interfere with the shooting. Stephen Jackson suddenly becomes A breakthrough.

It was the same this time. The ball came to Stephen Jackson. He saw Cato taking a position inside and knew that he had no chance to rush in. He quickly passed it to Bowen on the other side and then to Parker. .

The same plot played out on the field.

However, what is different from the last time is that because of Duncan's offensive choice, Lu Yuanzhi was further away from the three-point line, and Parker got a chance to shoot.

There are still 7 seconds on the timer. If they don't take action at this time, the Spurs can indeed continue to pass the ball out and have another chance to hit the ball.

But will there be better opportunities to take action then?
Parker didn't think so.

Therefore, the moment he received the ball, Parker took action without hesitation.

Anyway, Lu Yuanzhi, who was running away from the opposite line, was still two steps away from him.

But the moment the ball was released, Lu Yuanzhi took off two steps away and hit the basketball before the ball was fully airborne.

"Good cap!"

Gerald Wallace secretly cheered. If he had been the one to defend the ball, he probably wouldn't have been able to touch the basketball.

But the next moment, Gerald Wallace noticed that the ball was barely covered. Lu Yuanzhi was unable to control the direction of the ball's flight. The ball that was touched flew directly to the side and was about to fly out of the sideline.

How does this work?
Gerald Wallace didn't even think about it. He ran directly towards the ball, took off from the sideline, chased the basketball, flew sideways, grabbed the ball in the air, and headed straight for the Spurs without caring about where his teammates were. The team threw the ball away at halftime.

"Ah -" screams rang out from the front row seats of the Kings. Gerald Wallace fell down hard and used the fans as meat pads.

Fortunately, there were a lot of fans who came into contact, and everyone shared the burden, and no one was injured.

The moment Gerald Wallace flew out, Lu Yuanzhi and Christie were already sprinting forward.

If their lineup really wants to fight on the ground, it will be impossible to break through the Spurs' defense. If they want to score, they can only rely on fast breaks and chaotic battles!

Christie received the ball in the frontcourt and Parker quickly followed it up.

Christie didn't bother much and passed the ball directly to the top of the basket. The next moment, Lu Yuanzhi appeared under the basket, made an alley-oop, and then slammed the ball into the basket!

The Kings finally broke their scoring drought since the second half!
Lu Yuanzhi did not celebrate at all after landing. He and Christie quickly ran to the sidelines and worked together to pull Gerald Wallace up.

"Well done, Gerald!"

Lu Yuanzhi and Christie patted Gerald Wallace on the shoulders and back together. At this time, the fans in the stadium also burst into applause and cheers like a tsunami, for the rookie who sacrificed his life to save the ball.

Gerald Wallace stood in the middle of the field and was caught off guard by the sudden loud noise.

He has always been a little transparent in the team.

No matter how hard I try, I never get many opportunities to play.

Of course he knows his problem. Apart from rushing to the basket and scoring, he has no other means of scoring.

Not to mention that Lu Yuanzhi can quickly learn the three-point shot, he can't even shoot a decent mid-range shot!

He has been confused about how to continue his career.

Is it just sitting on the sidelines for 4 years, watching his teammates work hard on the court, and then at the end of the contract period, saying goodbye to this game and this league sadly, and then wandering around Europe to make a living?

But if you don’t want to do this, what can you do?

His own offensive skills are nothing compared to these talented teammates.

No matter how hard he tries, he can't catch up with Lu Yuanzhi, He can't catch up with Turkoglu, he can't catch up with Stojakovic, he can't catch up with anyone!

But at this moment, he seemed to be Wang Yangming who had realized Taoism in Longchang. He knew where his path was!
Since I couldn't keep up with those talented guys on offense, I put all my passion and energy into defense.

My body is full of energy and I can defend better!
As long as I keep running and fighting, my team can win because of me!
At this moment, Gerald Wallace is no longer confused!
Yes, the Kings are a flashy offensive team, but so what?

I just want to use ugly but useful defense to help the team win!

I may not be the brightest star on the field, but I must be the most stable cornerstone for the team to win!
Come on, Spurs, give me a taste of my defense!
Gerald Wallace clapped his hands vigorously, lowered his focus, eyes burning, staring at the Spurs players who were about to attack!
