Chapter 595 Covering the influence of both offense and defense
The Spurs are not the second person to defend Xie Hou, except Bowen.
Western teams have the disadvantage of Western teams. The powerful people who are determined to break out of the Eastern Conference will find ways to strengthen their wings. Not to mention that they can prevent Xie Hou from dying, at least they must hoard players who can be attacked like they were guarding against sharks at the beginning of the century.
The Spurs didn't prepare for this, maybe because they had Bowen, a demon who was pregnant in the West. With him, there was no need to worry about Xie Hou.
Things were not as easy as the Spurs thought. Xie Hou beat Bao Wen alone, dribbled the ball first and then shook it, pulling out the shooting basket, 2-0.
"Why do the judges think you are the second best player in defense this season?" Xie Hou felt good about himself, "I feel that my defense is better than you."
After saying that, he rubbed the floor with his soles and left.
Bao Wen's expression was cold and hard, and defending Xie Hou was a strategic task, not a single person's contribution.
There are only seven or eight people in the Pacers tonight. Popovich has already ordered them. The whole team is targeting Xie Hou alone. As long as they guard him, they can play the seventh game.
It seems like a single task, but it is not easy to complete it.
It was the Spurs' turn to attack, and they came up to play Duncan. The one who defended Duncan was Cork Haston, who had just been transferred from the Development League.
His former first round pick, the abandoned son who was cut in 25 NBA games in two seasons, actually defended Duncan in the finals - the best power forward in history!
It was not realistic to expect him to defend Duncan, and Haston used a foul to prevent Duncan from scoring.
At the free throw line, Duncan made one of two free throws.
1 to 2
"Kork Haston, I haven't heard from him since he was cut by the New Orleans Hornets in 2003." The commentary lineup sent by TNT, who also broadcast the game, was Doug Collins and Groom Albert.
Albert said: "If it weren't for the things that happened in Game 5, Cork wouldn't have a chance to play in the Finals now."
Everything is concerned with causality. Kirirenko, O'O and Blachi are suspended for one injury and two suspensions. The Pacers are weak inside, and three of the four players raised from the Development League are inside.
The inside line is the best substitute on the court and is also the hardest position.
To put it bluntly, as long as you are willing to work hard in this position, the effect of one or two games will not be too bad.
These people who come from the Development League may just play this game, but this game is one of the most watched games this season. If you can play on such a big stage, you won’t have to worry about not being able to find a job next season.
The Hustons will fight desperately for their future.
Xie Hou continued to hold the ball, Bowen still let him go half a meter, and Duncan in the rear stared at his position with a kind look.
The look was like telling him not to enter the inside line, and his closure was not a joke.
Xie Hou was unwilling to retreat, and Duncan's warning was invalid.
When he started the breakthrough, Bowen's upper limbs had a tough physical contact with him. The other party's hand was making small moves on his chest, as if he was scratched by a woman's nails - such things usually happen in the process of reproduction - Xie Hou was fearless, raised his elbow and pushed Bowen's body away, and rushed into the paint area with a throw-in to challenge Duncan's block.
There is! He thought to himself.
"Swish!"
4 to 1
"Arthur scored 4 points unstoppable! The Spurs' best defense in the league can't stop his offense at all!"
Xie Hou was so wonderful that even the Simon brothers who couldn't understand the game stood up and cheered.
Duncan continues to play singles. Haston has an attitude, lacks strength, and lacks skills. Jumping high is a big advantage. Unfortunately, the confrontation in the inside often makes those moving talents disappear.
How could Howard dance? Yao Feng beat him when he was eating and sleeping.
If Howard could be allowed to jump freely, even if Yao Yun was 2.5 meters tall, Howard would not be able to interfere with his attack. However, Yao Yun could not allow him to fly. At this moment, Duncan made Haston unable to jump through a fierce body collision.
Huston was seen by the audience as if he was just a light push to the back and couldn't jump up. Duncan hooked his hand on the right and hit the board.
3 to 4
Xie Hou responded with a fast attack, and the attack that should have been in positional warfare was increased by his speed to counterattack.
Papalucas cut the Spurs' defensive line just right, Xie Hou passed the ball against the ground, and the Greeks scored a counter-bassing point.
6 to 3
Only one and a half minutes later, the attacks between the two sides were wonderful and fierce.
Papalucas succeeded in the offense, and Parker accelerated to kill the basket.
Without Kirilenko and O'Neal Jr., the Pacers's cooperative defense system disappeared. Previously, the continuous defense of Parker could no longer be effective, and the French sports car became a point that the Pacers had no solution.
5 to 6
Since the beginning, no one missed apart from Duncan, except for one of two free throws.
Just as Xie Hou's attack was about to be launched, the Spurs took the initiative to shrink the defense line and made their attitude clear.
Shooting, OK.
Breakthrough? Delusion!
After playing around, the story returned to the first game of the finals. When they just started the game, the Spurs took the mood of shrinking the defense line to challenge Xie Hou. The result of the story was that Xie Hou's teammates withstood the pressure and made a three-pointer, indirectly helping Xie Hou break the Spurs' defense.
In the sixth game, they used this tactic again.
Bowen increased physical confrontation, and Duncan defended the penalty area and refused to let anyone get close.
Xie Hou took the initiative to attack, causing the Spurs to shrink tighter, and Artest got the largest open space.
Xie Hou sent the pass, Artest took it and took a three-pointer.
Swish!
9 to 5
"So far, the most reassuring thing is that Arthur's teammates were not affected by the fifth game. Even though the lack of soldiers, they still have the determination to defend the championship in the sixth game!"
"Justice cannot be killed by a stupid conflict and punishment!" The words come from George McGuinness.
The Spurs' first mistake happened this round after Artest hit a three-pointer.
Artest switched to Parker, and the confrontation he gave made the sports car difficult, but he still broke through and made the Pacers' defense chaotic.
The Pacers defended him just like the Spurs defended Xie Hou.
It doesn't matter if you can't keep up. As long as you can fight against the superiors, you will be able to fight and give more physical contact. Anyway, the referee doesn't care.
Parker was in the whirlpool of confrontation, and even the passer could not be found. He had no choice but to send out the ball in his hand. The ball slid across Duncan's palm and was intercepted by Xie Hou.
"Arthur steals!"
The old Taoist Bao Wen stood in advance, Xie Hou just started to get off, and the collision between the two made Bao Wen fly backwards.
Undisputed offensive foul.
"Bruce saved the Spurs' defense."
Xie Hou handed the ball to the referee and did not go to see Bowen. This was the opponent's due performance. No jury voted for the best defensive player of the year for someone who could only use insidious moves.
He is the best defender first, and the bad reputation brought by those dirty methods invisibly increases his deterrence.
The Magician commented on Ranbir: You don't want to be reimbursed for a breakout season.
Bowen never lets his opponents be reimbursed seasonally, he just makes every opponent feel that he may be reimbursed seasonally during the matchup with him.
This is the deterrent power a defensive master hopes for himself.
The same example is Russell, the Lord of the Rings. When the old man played the game, he would slap the opponent a few goals in the opening game, which made the opponent feel that he would be covered every time he made a move.
Power, shock, no matter how internal and external, every defensive master needs it.
However, it is difficult for Bowen to win the respect and approval of others in the way he adopts.
Xie Hou is different from Bao Wen. His talent is shining like a star in the night sky.
Bowen's offensive foul brought a brand new offensive opportunity to the Spurs.
During this attack, Xie Hou returned to the basket from the left outside line and used his long arm to assist in defense to cover the Argentinian Obotto's basket offense.
Within two rounds, he made steals and blocks, scored 4 points and 2 assists on the offensive end, and his ubiquitous performance and influence filled both offense and defense. He had his own trail for any frontal gain from the Pacers.
"He is becoming the perfect player," Bain Ruth said.
Well... Robert III nodded slightly, the ubiquitous influence on both sides of the offense and defense and the heavy pressure on the opponent.
Even if he is the only one, the Spurs in the Western Conference's ever-winning army still find it difficult to guarantee that they can win this game.
They were unable to determine whether the power of the five people could defeat Xie Hou and the other person.
Because in the past few years, Xie Hou, like Kobe, has repeatedly scored a team record by himself.
Oberto was blocked, and Xie Hou passed the ball in the frontcourt, and his fast break layup was interfered by Kreza.
Xie Hou rushed down the offensive rebound and passed the outside, Artest made a three-pointer.
The beast that has been emptied repeatedly has opened on the night the team needs most!
"Swish!"
“OHHHHHH!!!”
"Ron Artest, this is what the Pacers need!"
12 to 5
This goal hit the Spurs' timeout.
After four and a half minutes of the first quarter, the Pacers' strength was beyond imagination.
Popovich's face was gloomy, and Xie Hou's figure became more and more dazzling. Will they be defeated by the other party alone?
He will never accept it!
Popovich's violent temper made his players feel the seriousness of the problem.
"They want Arthur to kill us alone! I tell you, unless he fights five, he can't do it! Michael Jordan can't fight five with one! Wilt Chamberlain can't fight five with one! The great players we know can't fight five with one with one! You can't let that ** Chinese do it!" Popovich roared.
The walkers make corresponding adjustments.
Wang Zhizhi replaced Cork Haston.
In fact, Kirilianko and others cannot play, so letting Wang Zhizhi start is the best choice, but Lao Wang's performance in the starting lineup was not good before, and Claire had a shadow. He suspected that Lao Wang was not good at starting lineup, so he would rather let Haston play the starting lineup and let Lao Wang play the substitute.
Chapter completed!
