Chapter 317: Desperate Spurs

An ordinary pick-and-roll cooperation without the ball, but it is enough to make this offense unusual when used on Angel and Aldridge.

It is difficult enough to pass and assist each other in a narrow three-second zone between two inside players. In most cases, the relationship between the two inside players is mutually helpful and restrained, but there is very little tactical cooperation. Even the Lakers' champions are the world-wide double towers, you rarely see what cooperation Gasol and Bynum can play.

The slightly smaller three-second zone is not enough to allow two huge guys to run out of any tactics, but Angel and Aldridge did this.

Their solution is to expand the space. Anjie's own offensive range was placed within the three-point line. In this way, he and Aldridge could cooperate any way they wanted.

People think that players at the center position should be digging in the inside, fighting to the inside, and doing anything in the inside. In fact, this is not the case, even in the prime of the center of the four centers, you can repeatedly see Olajuwon and others confronting their opponents outside the three-point line, and then breaking through with the ball alone to complete the scoring task.

It is just because there are too few dominant big men in the league now that the fans' misunderstanding that "the center should stay in the inside the whole game."

Angel's beautiful breakthrough made Duncan shake his head helplessly, and what about Split? He succeeded in becoming a foil again.

With the tacit cooperation between Anjie and Aldridge, the Trail Blazers' offense was revitalized again. Leonard's defense replacement can no longer pose a threat to Anjie. Perhaps this guy will become a top defender in the future, but now, facing Anjie, he is still a little too young.

At the end of the second quarter, the scores of both sides were still not widened. However, the team that was slightly ahead was the pioneers of the future.

Vicky's double-team tactic was officially declared a failure, and the Trail Blazers took the lead in Rose Garden by 5o to 54. Perhaps the morning run warm-up really brought good luck to Angel and Aldridge.

The Trail Blazers' offense is so dazzling that Vicci always thinks that the problem is that they are behind is defense.

But when we saw the technical statistics during the intermission, Vicky realized that their offense was also terrible.

Gary Neal, the Spurs' substitute No. 2, was the Spurs' scorer the most points in the first half. Although Vicci advocated team basketball, the Spurs did not need the superstar who averaged 30 or 40 per game. However, Duncan's 3-for-9 shot and Tony Parker's 6 shots were no longer a "team basketball" that could cover up the past dereliction of duty.

As the two core members of the team, these two guys neither restricted their opponents on the defensive end nor performed on the offensive end. Vic knew that his GDPyi would always have two games in the GDPyi season, especially Duncan, who is surprisingly stable, actually not able to perform at a high level in 82 games.

This is understandable. There are few people on this earth who can play their strength in every game in the long season. But Vic still hopes that Duncan and Parker can get back their feelings as soon as possible. Losing to other teams Vic won't care too much, but Trail Blazers? No, Trail Blazers are the team that Vic must win in the plan! Such an opponent will never accept the failed ending!

Vic made a lot of adjustments in the locker room during the intermission, and just four points was not enough to make the powerful Spurs retreat.

As soon as the second half began, Duncan returned to Aldridge, and the defender of Angel became Thiago Split, who had already suffered a serious blow in the first half.

The Brazilians who left Aldridge did not escape the nightmare. Angel's attack was more violent than Aldridge's.

Collision, collision, or collision. Angel took care of Split not as strong as this point of attack. The Brazilian's muscles were protesting, but he could only withstand all the impacts again and again.

Those who win the inside will win the world, this is Ricard's creed of winning. Perhaps in this era when the pace is getting faster and faster and the small man takes over the league, such a creed will appear a bit old-fashioned and obsolete. But the facts have proved that when the team's inside line is really strong to a certain extent, this sentence still applies, no matter what era it is.

Now, Vicky and Duncan have a strong sense of powerlessness. No matter how hard the teams with the outside line are, their efficiency is still not as good as those of excellent inside players at low posts.

The Spurs' outside defense is excellent, and Duncan's defense is also excellent. But even so, the Trail Blazers are still unable to be stopped.

Angel and Aldridge both scored too much today, and the Spurs could only limit the number of people among them at most. But even if Angel and Aldridge were able to attack, it would be a devastating blow to the Spurs.

The defense has not improved, and the Spurs' offense is even more messy.

This San Antonio team rarely performs abnormally, and they are usually so stable that they are desperate. But today, the Spurs are exceptional.

Although Duncan was not efficient, he could at least score stably. However, Frenchman Tony Parker played five minutes in the second half but still failed to score.

Fortunately, the Spurs young player Kawhi Leonard, who amazed the whole game in the first half, stood up at this time, took over the burden on Tony Parker and scored six points in a row on Gerald Wallace. In addition, he also completely locked the Trail Blazers' outside offense.

Although there is no Presti who has switched to the Thunder, the Spurs' draft vision is still at the forefront of the league. If others had known that Leonard could play this performance in nBa, how could he fall to the fifth pick?

It can be said that the Spurs have not collapsed yet, because of him, Leonard. With a rookie, how long can the Spurs last in the fierce attack of the Trail Blazers?

The Spurs still did not improve in the third quarter, and the Trail Blazers have expanded their lead to 8 points under the attack of Angel and Aldridge.

"You should rest first in the fourth quarter. I will replace you two at the right time. Remember, once you two are on the court, there will be only one task, and you will win the game!" Ricard said as he knocked down the tactical board hard, and had enough deal with the Spurs. It was time to make a break.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs finally got a chance to breathe. The fate of Angel and Aldridge not only means that the Trail Blazers' offense will be compromised, but their defense will also be greatly affected.

Angel's substitute Marcus Camby is indeed strong enough and has a lot of experience. She is just an old fox. But as old as he is, all he can do now is to help Angel with two or three fouls, giving Angel a few more minutes of rest.

He tried to attack in the inside, but Brazilian Split used a block to tell him that not everyone could bully him.

Aldridge's substitute Cott Thomas is relatively single in offensive methods, usually mainly based on mid-range jump shots. On the court, his tactical role is unnecessary. With Cott Thomas, he can provide support for the outside players' return passes after infiltrating breakthroughs, and can also open up space for the offensive players. But facing Duncan, these advantages no longer exist.

Jamal Crawford's performance still did not improve, and his ironclad sound became the main theme of Rose Garden during this period.

Eight points, six points, three points, yi points... The Spurs and the Trail Blazers were not good, but without Angel and Aldridge's Trail Blazers, they were still chased by the Spurs to only have the advantage of yi points.

At this time, Ricard finally looked up at the big screen. Five minutes before the end of the game, Angel and Aldridge had rested for a long time. He waved his hand and released the two most dangerous beasts in the city of Tearing out again.

"It's been a long time since Ann and Lamarcus made their debut again! This is a signal that coach Ricard wants to collect the game. Let's see if the Spurs, whose momentum has improved a lot, can do anything!"

Angel and Aldridge high-fives each other, with numbers oo and numbers 2, which is the pride of Portland.

Aldridge's expression was dull, but he was extremely excited. Where is Anjie? His gritted teeth and wrote all his emotions on his face.

In his first attack after his appearance, Anjie received a breakthrough pass from Gerald Wallace. Anjie wanted to take advantage of the chaos to dunk, but was entangled by the experienced Duncan first to curb Anjie's smooth attack.

"This breakthrough is very confusing. It's a pity that Duncan is not someone who will be deceived easily."

As soon as Kenny Smith finished speaking, Anjie scored the goal. Although Anjie was defended by Duncan, his jump shot after turning around fell into the basket accurately. Duncan swears that he has blocked it, but there is no way. He can't poke the ball out of the bottom of the basket.

Later, when the Spurs were replaced, Leonard, who was originally in a state of great momentum, broke through Gerald Wallace's defense again, but when he was about to make a layup, Anjie, who was slapped, ran the ball and slammed out of the baseline.

Duncan tried his best to restrain Angel, but Angel could even get rid of Leonard now, let alone an elderly Duncan.

Although the referee called An Jie a foul for this ball, An Jie undoubtedly took all the territory under the basket for himself.

No matter how powerful Leonard is, he is also a human being. He had heard of the butcher's name long before entering nBa. Today he knew that this nickname is indeed not groundless.

Leonard was originally Vicci's last card, but now, this card is about to be torn apart by Angel.

Leonard was affected by emotions and only hit the first goal with two free throws. After the second goal came out, Anjie immediately took off the defensive rebound. In the subsequent offense, he assisted Aldridge to complete the mid-range shot, making his good partner proud of Duncan's goal.

It collapsed, and the entire Spurs were beaten to the point of being beaten by Angel and Aldridge from top to bottom. In Barkley's words, the Spurs finally experienced what it felt like to be so stable that it was hopeless.

No matter how hard they try, Aldridge's shooting percentage can always remain above 5o, and Anjie exaggeratedly made his shooting percentage reach 65.

These two long men can always score continuously. They are like they are facing a tight machine, and it seems that they will never make any mistakes.

Today's Trail Blazers play more like the Spurs.

When the whole game ended, Vic finally felt relieved. The damn game finally ended, and he really didn't want to see his team playing such ugly basketball again.

After returning to the locker room, even Duncan was scolded by Vicky. But no one else would know about this...

99-to-yio8, Rose Garden ushered in the sixth victory of the Trail Blazers this season. And Anjie has not lost this season yet.

The two games that the Trail Blazers lost were games that Anjie missed.
