Sima Bobo's plan was wonderful, but how could he have imagined that the "Zhuge Shuo" who crossed over from the opposite side had no intention of leaving "Qishan" in the first step?
On the court, the Wizards players spread out in a 131 formation. Under Gasol's dispatch, it only took two simple passes to find Ron Artest, who was ambushing at a 45-degree angle on the left.
This season, limited by the Wizards' powerful offensive firepower, Artest usually doesn't take many shots. After all, he has already used Italian cannons, so who can take advantage of Tushan cannons?
However, this does not mean that Artest is not good.
Just because the current absolute offensive core of this Wizards is called Michael Jordan.
From the outside, Artest fired decisively after getting the ball.
Uh-huh!
3 to 0!
On TNT TV, Smith said with a puzzled look: "Aren't the Spurs going to learn the lesson from the last game? The reason they lost to the Wizards in the last game was because the Wizards made too many three-pointers."
To be honest, at this moment, Sima Popo, who had just been hit by Artest, could not hear Smith's explanation, otherwise he would have vomited three liters of old blood.
Because who's to say he didn't learn the lessons from the last game?
In fact, Popovich not only learned the lessons from the previous game, he even found a way to crack the Wizards' offense through the scientific research done in the previous game.
In this game, the reason why Popovich defended the zone was to limit the Wizards' triangle offense.
Because under the zone defense system, the distance between defensive players will be closer, so if the Wizards still want to continue to create misplaced singles opportunities for Jordan on the court like before, then in Sima Popo's view, they will definitely pay a heavy price for it. price.
Secondly, considering that zone defense can easily miss three-point opportunities for the Wizards on the wings, Popovich deliberately sent a striker combination of Smith and Bowen in this game.
In Popovich's view, it doesn't matter if the Wizards can react during the game.
Because tonight, what he wants is to get the start, set the tone, and then send the "Admiral" to partner with Duncan to completely turn the momentum on the court into a victory.
Popovich has watched tapes of all previous Wizards games.
At least in the videos he watched, the Wizards did not show the qualities that a top team should have when facing a zone defense.
Many times, no matter how the opponent defends, the Wizards still go their own way on the court, playing how Xia Jiba plays, how Xia Jiba plays.
Therefore, in Popovich's view, his plan should have been foolproof.
However......
On the court, after Duncan successfully bullied his "sister-in-law" in the low post again, the Wizards came back and completely blinded Sima Popo's titanium alloy dog eyes with a textbook attempt to break the zone defense.
Facing the Spurs' zone defense, Gasol, who was raised to the free throw line, seemed to be the Wizards' centerpiece!
Due to this attack, Jordan and Artest, who were sinking in the bottom corners on both sides, had the possibility of cutting to the basket at any time. Therefore, the Spurs players responsible for these two defensive areas did not dare to move.
On the sidelines, at the moment when the situation on the court reached a stalemate, Wang Shuo suddenly laughed.
The old thief turns out to be a young thief!
Sima Bobo might not believe it.
As a fan who grew up watching Zhang’s commentary, there is absolutely no one in this world who knows better than Wang Shuo how to break the zone defense.
To break the zone defense, as Director Zhang said, as long as you have an inside man who can shoot and organize to stand at the free throw line.
Then the opponent's zone defense will be destroyed without any attack!
Who told Sima Bobo that this Wizards is not good at breaking through zone defense?
Is there a possibility that in the Wizards' previous games, the Wizards just didn't need to use this method to break the zone defense?
After all, in previous games, many times the Wizards were able to kill the opponent with a single slash of the kitchen knife. Therefore, how could the offensive Wizards, who wanted to assist Boss Joe, worry about breaking the zone defense?
And besides the fact that the head coach is very good at breaking down zone defenses.
This wizard also has...
"Tim Duncan is definitely the best power forward in the NBA in this era.
However, Paul is also the best inside player in the NBA in this era who can break the zone defense! "
On the Wizards bench, Wang Shuo said with determination as he watched Gasol pivoting at the free throw line and passing the ball to Hamilton at a 45-degree angle on the right through continuous passes.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, in Wang Shuo's view, the most critical reason why the Spanish men's basketball team was able to rise rapidly in the 21st century was because they had Gasol, an invincible weapon in the international arena.
As we all know, due to the existence of three seconds of defense, the power of NBA zone defense cannot be compared with that of international zone defense.
But in the international arena, does any team really dare to set up a zone defense in front of Spain, which has Gasol?
Pau Gasol.
In Wang Shuo's eyes, a tough-blooded man could only be called a "softie" because he didn't know how to beat his chest or scream to the sky.
Sima Bobo, do you know that if you put up a zone defense in front of this Wizards with Gasol, you are committing a crime?
Swish——!
From the outside, another three-pointer from Washington's great sniper Hamilton!
6 to 4!
On TNT TV station, Barkley, who had already transformed into the shape of the Wizards, even wanted to kiss Smith's ass tomorrow, said with excitement: "Three-point rain from the Wizards! Ladies and gentlemen, do you have an umbrella when you go out tonight? "
cut!
Anyway, life has been very unsatisfactory recently, so in Barkley's view, why not join if you can't beat it and directly switch to the camp of 50-year-old Wizards fans?
On the sidelines, the Wizards' two three-pointers directly raised Sima Popo's blood pressure.
You know, in this game, he didn't preserve his strength like he did in the previous game.
Even before the game, he had thought about a post-game speech like "The Wizards made history, but we ended history tonight."
However, as the Wizards easily cracked the opening tactics he carefully arranged for the Spurs...
At this moment, he felt as if Wang Shuo had slapped him in the face and said, "I'm sorry."
On the court, the Spurs attack.
Needless to say, Duncan was in really good shape tonight.
In the low post, under Gasol's tenacious defense, his body was crooked and he was about to lose his center of gravity in the next second. Duncan "randomly" threw the ball toward the backboard at the last moment.
On the sidelines, Wang Shuo sighed after seeing this scene.
Because Duncan seems to score 55 against everyone, but in the end he can score in the "magic cricket game". Who knows how many times Wang Shuo watched this in his previous life?
Bang, swish!
6 to 6.
Back, the Wizards still stood at 131 to beat the Spurs' zone defense.
In front of the technical stage, Sima Bobo, who knew that he could do one or two but not three, was ready to apply for a timeout at any time.
Then......
As Hamilton received Gasol's assist and scored two consecutive three-pointers, Sima Popo stamped his foot hard in front of the technical table. After narrowly avoiding a broken calf, he angrily applied for a timeout to the technical table. .
On the court, when walking back to the bench, the Wizards players felt that Wang Shuo was amazing tonight.
Even Boss Qiao, who had smoked three rounds of cigarettes on the court and warmed up his lower body through three back and forth runs, couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
During the timeout, because Hamilton felt good tonight, Wang Shuo decisively took out his tactical board and designed a temporary running strategy for him.
As for the Spurs, looking at Sima Bobo's gloomy face, except for Duncan, who had long been accustomed to this, the rest of the Spurs players did not dare to speak loudly.
"Next, we will no longer defend the zone and switch to man-to-man marking. I must watch their outside shooters to death. Do you understand?" Sima Bobo said after scanning a circle of Spurs players.
And perhaps because he felt that the head coach was looking at him too much, Bruce Bowen always felt that what Popovich just told everyone was terrible...
It’s not about watching death in the ordinary sense.
"Hey, buddy, let's change the defenders, and let me keep an eye on No. 32 on the opposite side! (Hamilton)" Bowen said before taking the field, looking at his teammate Charles Smith.
Hearing this, after turning his head to look at Popovich and finding that he had no objection, Smith nodded and said: "He always keeps running, you have to be careful."
Bowen smiled and said, "It's okay, I like this kind of attacker who moves without the ball!"
After the timeout, the Spurs attacked.
In this year's draft, Parker, who was given up by Wang Shuo due to tactical reasons and team needs, was still so lightning-fast when he emerged on the court.
Of course, unlike the Philadelphia black flash that the Wizards played before, if Iverson starts fast and changes direction quickly, then Parker starts fast and changes direction fast.
With this ball, Arenas failed to keep up with Parker in the first place, and it was obviously too late by the time Gasol helped defend again.
Under the basket, facing Gasol, Parker made a difficult throw.
On the sidelines, Wang Shuo turned to look at the three Mikes and asked curiously: "How many times has Paul made background boards this month?"
Mike Brown took out his small notebook and said, "This is already the fourth time."
Good guy! The Wizards only played one game in December, even including this game that didn't even finish the first quarter...
In Wang Shuo's view, Gasol was too miserable.
It’s true that everyone loves “sister-in-law” and everyone wants to eat dumplings.
Come back, the Wizards have the ball.
Seeing the "scythe tactic" that Wang Shuo had just improvised for Hamilton, Boss Qiao, who was hiding in the corner smoking a cigarette, was extremely happy. Fortunately, he was not the one to defend Hamilton tonight.
Especially when he noticed that Bowen was being treated like a dog by Hamilton, an extremely terrible memory suddenly came to Boss Joe's mind.
However, just when Boss Joe was still secretly applauding Hamilton's move...
Suddenly, at the moment when Hamilton was about to use Gasol's screen to reach the shooting area, Bowen and Hamilton, who pushed Gasol away and tried to force a block, collided with each other. Hamilton noticed that Hamilton immediately Boss Qiao, who covered his face and fell to the ground in pain, almost exploded!
Because of this ball, Jordan, who was standing in the corner smoking a cigarette, could clearly see that while Bowen pushed Gasol away and forced a block, he clearly swung his elbow towards Hamilton's cheek!
How could a veteran like Boss Joe, who had even seen the Pistons' killing array before, not know that Bowen's shot was intentional?
The scene soon fell into chaos as Hamilton fell to the ground.
Fortunately, after the Wizards team doctor performed simple treatment for Hamilton, the Wizards team doctor told Wang Shuo that Hamilton should only have a broken nose.
Hearing this, Wang Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself with a wry smile: Sure enough, Hamilton's nose is destined to be doomed.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, Hamilton was called the "Mask Man" precisely because his nose would always suffer in competitions.
So later, Hamilton simply developed the habit of wearing a mask to play for a long time.
In addition, when he later played for the Pistons, his teammate Ben said that his mask was cool and was the source of motivation for him to transform into Superman. Therefore, whenever others mentioned the mask on his face, Hamilton would always say Extremely proud.
Wang Shuo plans to wait until the game is over to teach Hamilton the habit of wearing a mask while playing.
Otherwise, Wang Shuo always feels that this is not Hamilton's complete body if he only wears a hairband.
On the court, because the referee interrupted the game in time, there was no large-scale conflict between the Spurs and the Wizards until Hamilton was taken to the locker room for treatment.
Hey, wait!
its not right!
Don’t you have Artest and Jackson among the Wizards?
In a situation like this where one's teammates were plotted by the opponent, shouldn't they have been recovered on the spot?
cough!
That is, is there a possibility.
After Hamilton fell to the ground just now, Artest and Jackson didn't have a chance to take action because they were busy trying to get the angry boss Joe back?
On the court.
The "God of Basketball" is really angry this time.
After Hamilton was taken off the court for a break, Jordan smashed the magnesium powder plate on the ground in front of the technical stage, then turned around and yelled at the referee: "You sons of bitches, do you have eyes?" Are you all blind? This is hurting people on purpose, this is not playing basketball! How many more talented players do you want to be ruined due to injuries?"
In response to Michael Jordan's anger, the technical desk officials who were scorned by magnesium fans immediately hid under the table like ostriches.
As for the referee?
What?
Which of your eyes saw Michael Jordan scolding us?
He was clearly giving us advice in a "friendly and cordial" way, right?
On the Spurs bench, no matter what Sima Bobo thought before, he was a little scared at the moment.
Because regardless of whether the league thinks the goal was intentional or not, Sima Bobo knows that this season, the Spurs may be on Stern's blacklist.
Jordan's reaction exceeded everyone's expectations, including Hamilton, who had been taken back to the locker room.
Before leaving the field, where could Hamilton still feel pain after having his nose broken?
Seeing his idol complaining at the top of his lungs, Hamilton's tears had already been swallowed by him along with the blood.
On the Wizards' bench, Wang Shuo, who worked hard with Artest and others to bring Jordan back to the bench, didn't expect that Jordan would actually stand up for Hamilton.
Therefore, Wang Shuo still doesn't understand Jordan well enough.
In fact, it is true that Jordan does not like Hamilton.
But it was more because Hamilton's style of play was too similar to Reggie Miller, whom Jordan hated so much.
But as the season progresses and time goes by, how could Jordan not know that Hamilton is the main source of income for his assist data?
As the saying goes, cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents.
At this moment, in Michael Jordan's view, the Spurs have already forged a sworn enemy with him.
Of course, in addition to benefits, Jordan was indeed unhappy with Bowen's underhanded tactics.
Because back then, he really suffered from these hidden losses that could lead to the loss of his career at any time.
At this moment, recalling the scene back then, Jordan just wanted to use a mushroom egg to blow up the stomach-churning Spurs home court.
On the Spurs bench, in addition to the shivering Sima Bobo, Bowen, who felt "weak, pitiful and innocent" at the moment, was also extremely scared.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, Bowen, who had always bullied the weak and feared the strong, was famous for playing tricks and boxing.
For example, for an "idiot" like Carter who only wants to play basketball, Bowen doesn't mind giving him a few extra kicks.
For example, a "weak chicken" like Nash, who couldn't fight back even after being beaten, Bowen would even give him a hug and throw after beating him.
But like Kobe and Paul, after Bowen slightly plotted against them once or twice, he didn't dare to mess around again.
Because it is different from Carter, Nash, and Ray Allen, who was also injured by Bowen.
Kobe's incredible iron elbow that broke the sky, and my jumping knee-shattering punch, that's no joke.
Tonight, if Popovich hinted that the target Bowen wanted to assassinate was Jordan, Bowen would definitely backhand Popovich and send him to St. Elizabeth's Hospital.
But Bowen really didn't expect that Jordan would be so angry because of a teammate whose relationship was rumored to be not good with him.
And Bowen would never have imagined that on the Wizards' bench at this moment...
After trying hard to persuade Wang Shuo and Jackson to get Jordan...
Hold down Jackson with one hand and hold down Wang Shuo with the other.
I saw Ron Artest calmly saying to all the Wizards players who were complaining about Hamilton: "Don't let the opponent's flagrant foul affect our good rhythm of the game."
At this moment, although his English is profound and profound, in Wang Shuo's opinion, when translated, Atai's words should read like this:
Sit down, all of you!
Professional matters must be left to professionals!
Click, click, click.
On the court, before the game restarted, the sound of Artest moving his shoulder joints made Wang Shuo take a deep breath.
hiss!
If you don’t understand, just ask.
Is it expensive to hire a lawyer in the United States?
