The four hundred and fortieth chapter of the exchange between scholars(1/3)
Before the opening ceremony, a sudden turmoil sounded at the scene.
The photographer on the spot gave it to the fans and found a familiar figure appeared in the audience.
Michael Jordan!
Jordan actually went to Brooklyn to watch the game!
There was no news before the game, so his appearance immediately caused a stir in the scene.
Lin Ying was also a little surprised.
Except in Charlotte or Chicago, Jordan rarely appears in other cities to watch basketball games.
"He's here indeed."
But Butler suddenly spoke.
This made Lin Ying show a strange look.
You should know that Butler was misunderstood as Jordan's son.
"He asked me for the tickets..."
Seeing Lin Ying's expression, Butler hurriedly explained.
“He also had the idea of recruiting me to play.”
Maybe he was afraid that Lin Ying would think too much, but Butler then spoke again.
Lin Ying nodded.
It seems that Butler is much more popular in the free market than he thought.
As for Butler's contact information, it is easy to use Jordan's influence.
So in this way, Jordan should have visited Butler.
The appearance ceremony began in the dim lights.
The Spurs were the first to play as the visiting team.
Parker, Danny Green, Leonard, Duncan, Dior.
Dior played well in the Western Conference Finals, and Popovich directly mentioned him from the sixth man.
The Nets made their debut as the home team.
Deron, Butler, Johnson, Lin Ying, Chandler.
After the opening ceremony, the photographer gave the Nets a shot on the bench.
Sloan is still in the coaching seat!
This time, a sense of security arose in the hearts of the fans at the scene.
Brooklyn's "boys group" is already a legend!
Riley has fallen. Will Popovich be the next target to be beaten by a "group"?
The competition begins soon and the two teams will appear one after another.
Duncan and Chandler jump ball in the middle circle.
Duncan's long arm pushed the ball back to the Spurs' half, and the away team got the first chance to attack.
Parker organized the frontcourt and the Spurs started the Hammer tactic.
The Nets' defense is very targeted.
At this time, we have to mention Sloan. As the master of pick-and-roll, he easily saw through the hammer tactics.
The key to this tactic of defense is to break the connection between the pick-and-roll combination and the shooter.
The Nets did a good job, but Parker directly broke through Chandler and scored a layup.
Parker averaged only a few 16 points this season, not even 17 points.
However, in the league's best team announced, Parker was selected for the All-A-Second Team.
The data cannot reflect a player's strength. Parker, who is still in his peak period, has a greater difficulty in defense than expected.
Looking back, Deron took the ball and attacked.
But just after he made a breakthrough, the Spurs' pinch attack came up.
Deron reacted quickly and quickly distributed the ball to Butler.
But Butler just received the ball and was also hit!
Generally speaking, there will be a time interval between one pinch and the next pinch.
Because this involves defensive communication.
Once there is no communication, it is easy to leak large vacancy.
Take the Nets as an example. Even if they use the trimmer tactic, it is difficult for them to continuously trimmer the ball holder.
But, the Spurs did.
Because their tacit understanding between them is really great!
It's not just a matter of tactical running, it's because I know that I will definitely have teammates to help defend behind me.
But Butler reacted quickly and quickly distributed the ball to Johnson.
Although it was just an offensive round, both teams showed the level of top teams in the details on the court and the ability to handle the ball.
It was only after the ball reached Johnson's hand that the Spurs' attack stopped.
The reason is very simple, because it is Leonard who is guarding against Johnson.
Popovich's positioning of Leonard is now the defensive vanguard.
Johnson directly chose to play Leonard alone.
This is already a good opportunity for the Nets.
He tried a frame attack, and the change of direction became very thrilling.
Leonard's arm span was longer than Lin Ying, and his hands were really too big.
It felt like there was a fan swaying around before you, and it was very accurate.
Johnson tried it and changed to a back-to-back single.
After he chiseled twice, he turned around and leaned back.
His turn was very large, but Leonard chose a good chance to save.
And it was a problem with long arms and giant palms, and Johnson felt that he could not see the basket at all!
He can only take action based on his feelings, and he also has to increase the arc of action.
Then, I directly cast a three-no-touch...
There was a turmoil at the scene.
Although Johnson is not the top superstar, he is ranked among the top in the league in terms of singles ability.
But he was actually defended by Leonard!
No wonder Popovich was relieved to let Leonard defend alone, this was simply a defensive trap.
The ball is out of bounds, and the ball rights are exchanged.
The Spurs advanced to the frontcourt and continued to play in the position.
The same offensive method, the same defense method.
Parker's move was interfered with by Chandler.
But Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound with his long arm!
In addition to his comprehensive technical skills, Duncan's "stability" also has his perverted physical talent.
With a height of 2.11 meters and 2.30 meters and excellent rebounding awareness, grabbing the frontcourt rebound is as easy as drinking water when there is a misalignment.
Duncan scored 2 points with a tip-in, and the Spurs took the lead and played the Nets 4-0 at the beginning.
Carl got up and walked to the sidelines and made adjustments to the team's defensive tactics.
The Nets' defensive focus shifted to pick-and-roll defense against Parker and Duncan.
After Duncan received the free throw line, he quickly scored Dior who cut in the weak side. Dior swung his hand and passed it to Green on the strong side.
The Spurs' hammer tactics started to work.
Green took a very decisive move for a fleeting opportunity.
However, the Nets have been staring at the bottom corners on both sides, and Lin Ying quickly assisted in defense and caused interference.
"Dou!"
Green's move smashed the basket out!
