Chapter 333 Super Bounce
During the timeout, the Grizzlies coach Hollins told Xie Kai: "Kane, don't be afraid of missing shots, take decisive shots when you have a chance, be firm!"
Xie Kai nodded: "I know how to be a coach!"
Pause back, the game continues.
Parker dribbles over and passes to Duncan in the low post.
The Spurs are a team that pays attention to the overall offense, but whenever the team's offense is in trouble, they will also arrange some singles tactics.In the past many years, this tactic was implemented by a power forward named Tim Duncan.
Duncan is 35 years old, and his average playing time this season has dropped to a career-low 28.4 minutes.You must know that since he entered the league in the 1997 draft, from the beginning of his rookie season to before this season, his average playing time has never been less than 30 minutes per game.The team reduced his playing time in order to protect him and extend his career.But it can also be explained from another aspect that this superstar who has the opportunity to compete for the best power forward in history has reached the twilight years of his career.
No matter how old Duncan is, he is still the top defensive insider in the league, and his inside offense is still the most stable and outstanding in this Spurs team, and he is also the most trusted by coach Popovich.
Duncan took the little sister-in-law with his back and used his footsteps. He didn't have any advantage in the confrontation with the young Spanish center.In the end, he used an unbelievable hook shot with his right hand and threw the ball-hitting the board!
"God, how did Tim throw this ball? Isn't it too difficult?" Mike Fratello said in disbelief.
Barkley sighed: "This is the strength of Tim. He is 35 years old and has injuries on his body, but he is still the unsolvable Tim!"
The two sides draw!
The Spurs fans in the stands cheered and applauded.Duncan's ball just now was so beautiful that many old fans recalled the young Duncan during the Twin Towers period.
Conley dribbled the ball and gave it to the high-ranking sister-in-law.
The little sister-in-law responded at the top of the arc and distributed the ball to Tony Allen who made an air cut!
Tony Allen forced a layup and was blocked by Duncan!
The ball went straight out of the touchline!
"Tim has a strong sense of presence on both ends of the offense and defense!" Mike Fratello sighed.
Barkley said affirmatively: "Even if Tim has only one leg left, he is still the patron saint of San Antonio's interior."
With only 10 seconds left on the offensive clock, the Grizzlies serve from the sideline.
Xie drove the ball to catch the ball, and Xiao Jiasao came out to cover.
Xie Kai used the cover to walk towards the sideline unhurriedly.In the Spurs' defensive system, it tends to drive offensive players to the sideline.
Of course Xie Kai knew this, so he followed his plan and didn't have to go in the middle.He held the ball near the bottom line, suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards the penalty area.
George Hill chased and defended, and Duncan made up the defense from the basket.
Xie Kai didn't hit the basket directly, but suddenly stopped suddenly, bounced up lightly, and used the strength of his fingers and wrists to push the ball out...
The position Xie Kai chose to shoot happened to be the opportunity given by the Spurs.In this position, Duncan, who is defending from the weak side, cannot be interfered with, and Hill cannot be blocked. At this time, it is a test of the shooting stability of the ball holder.
The ball drew an arc in the air and finally fell into the net bag!
There was a sigh at the scene, because Xie Kai hit the ball!
6:4, the Grizzlies lead!
Mike Fratello sighed: "I missed a mid-range shot in the last game, and I made 2 of 1 shots in this game!"
Barkley said: "Don't make any conclusions, just hit 1 ball, it doesn't mean that Kane Xie's touch can last."
Seeing the ball hit the basket, Xie Kai roared and clenched his fists tightly.He vented the sulking in his heart. You must know that in the last game, such opportunities were not without, but he didn't hit any of them.He, who has always been strict with himself, cannot tolerate such a situation continuing to happen.After the last game, he practiced jump shots. During the three days of rest, he shot more than 3 mid-range shots and 500 200-point shots every day.Not only that, but he also practiced jump shots non-stop in consciousness training.Even if he was tired, he didn't care, his competitive spirit made him overcome his fatigue.
The Spurs attacked here, and Richard Jefferson missed a 3-pointer!
Fatty Lan grabbed the backcourt rebound and then gave it to Conley to advance.
Conley pushed forward and gave it to the little sister-in-law.
Xie Kai took the initiative to ask for the ball, and handed hands with his sister-in-law.After hand-to-hand, he took advantage of the burly body of his little sister-in-law to suddenly accelerate and pass between Duncan and Hill.
There was a burst of exclamation at the scene!
Xie drove to the basket. Richard Jefferson here had let go of Tony Allen and came over from the flank to defend.
Xie Kai didn't enter the penalty area, but within half a step of the free throw line, he suddenly pulled up and made a jump shot—hit again!
8:4, Xie Kailian won two yuan!
The Spurs fans in the stands felt a tingle in their hearts when they saw that Xie Kai's touch was showing a tendency to return.Their fear of Randolph cannot be overstated.Randolph is an insider, they have Duncan inside, and Xie Kai is the 2nd position, which makes it easy for them to recall the fear of being dominated by Kobe Bryant.
Parker slowly dribbled over, not in a hurry to launch an attack, but called his teammates to set up at the top of the arc.The Spurs have a lot of experience. When the morale of the opponent's consecutive hits rose, they did not rush to attack, but lowered the tempo and hit the success rate.
The Spurs cooperated, and finally McDyess made a jump shot near the free throw line, but unfortunately, the ball slipped out of the basket!
Randolph grabbed the backcourt rebound and gave it to Conley to advance.
Conley pushed forward and wanted to break away, but the latter was fouled by the entangled Hill.
Hill is also anxious, seeing that Xie Kai is about to explode, he can only increase his strength.But the strength is not so good, and there is a risk of fouling by increasing physical confrontation.
"George Hill's defensive strength is really great! This level of defensive strength is only worth having in the playoffs!" Mike Fratello laughed.
Barkley said: "George is a very good defensive player. He is not as tall as Kane Xie, but his arms are really long! Mike, his arms are so-long!"
The Grizzlies serve from the sideline and Tony Allen comes over to catch the ball.
Hill's defense against Xie Kai can be described as "full coverage". He spared no effort, ignored the other 4 offensive players, and only had goals in his eyes.
Xie Kai couldn't catch the ball, and the ball went to the high-ranking sister-in-law.
Xie Kai came over and handed hands with the little sister-in-law.He finally got the ball and faced George Hill's winding defense.He didn't want to cover up anymore, and motioned for the little sister-in-law to pull away.
The little sister-in-law walked away, took away her defender, and created partial one-on-one opportunities for Xie Kai.
