NBA: The second generation of the strongest star

Chapter 248



Chapter 248
Andrew picked up the ball and dribbled it across half court.

Andrew saw that the defender in front of him was not Tony Parker, but Richard Jefferson, without the slightest surprise.

After all, the San Antonio Spurs started three outsiders, and only Richard Jefferson could defend himself a little bit.

But if Richard Jefferson defends Andrew, then Tony Parker can only defend Jimmy Butler, while Gary Neal defends Wilson Chandler. This is a natural misalignment!

Especially Gary Neal defending Wilson Chandler, Gary Neal is only 193cm tall and weighs 93KG, while Wilson Chandler is 203cm and weighs 103KG, how does Gary Neal defend.

Andrew immediately gave Wilson Chandler a look. Wilson Chandler immediately got the idea and ran to the low card position. At the same time, Danilo Gallinari ran to the other corner and put Tim Duncan pulled away, and Tim Duncan had to follow; Tyson Chandler also entangled DeJuan Blair, not giving him any chance to help defend.

Wilson Chandler came to the low post and easily got in position, keeping Gary Neal behind him.

Andrew lobs the ball in to Wilson Chandler.

Wilson Chandler, who successfully received the ball, did not hesitate to turn to Gary Neal behind him. Even though Gary Neal tried his best to push Wilson Chandler, he was still powerless. The weight gap was too large. move back.

After a while, Wilson Chandler came deep inside San Antonio, and then Wilson Chandler turned around and took off for an easy layup.

Gary Neal: "." Gary Neal can't do anything about it.

Gary Neal couldn't help but look at Popovich on the bench, as if asking the coach again, what should I do?
Popovich raised his hands, his face a little heavy.

Since Bowen retired and Ginobili turned to the bench, the San Antonio Spurs' perimeter defense has become extremely fragile. Popovich is also a little helpless about this. There is no way. The San Antonio Spurs team has very limited funds.

San Antonio is considered a small city. Even if it wins the championship, it will not bring much profit to the team. At the same time, San Antonio Spurs owner Peter Holt is relatively "poor" among NBA owners, and may even be the "poorest" one. , worth only [-] million.However, the San Antonio Spurs not only belong to him, but belong to the Spurs Sports and Entertainment Company, which is a joint-stock company.The smart boss Holt is just the CEO, he is not the one with the most shares.As for the main business of the boss, interestingly, it is a traditional industry - tractors.

So this also makes it difficult for the San Antonio Spurs to introduce All-Stars. They can only obtain potential players through the draft, and make him an All-Star through training. Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Ginobili are like this. At the same time, for more than 10 years , The San Antonio Spurs won 4 championships under the leadership of Popovich.

Faced with such a predicament, Popovich had no choice but to give up what he had cultivated, George Hill, from the Indiana Pacers in exchange for the No. 15 rookie Leonard, the No. 42 pick and the right to sign the 2005 rookie Elazam Lobeck.

Regarding this deal, many experts say that the Indiana Pacers have made a fortune. After all, George Hill, who was drafted in 08, has averaged 12.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. He is a qualified point guard and is known as the successor of Tony Parker. people.

Many pundits think George Hill is going to take off for the Indiana Pacers.

But unfortunately, the Indiana Pacers did not pay much attention to the arrival of George Hill, and still let him serve as a substitute, averaging only 25.5 minutes per game, which is not as good as averaging 28.6 minutes per game in the San Antonio Spurs.

With less game time, the data will naturally shrink. This season, George Hill averaged 9.6 points, 3 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.

The rookie Leonard averaged 7.9 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game, which Popovich is very satisfied with.

Popovich wants Leonard to replace Bowen and become the thickest shield on the outside of the San Antonio Spurs.

Facing the three outsiders of the New York Knicks, especially Andrew, Popovich estimated that Leonard would be blown away, and even Popovich envied the three outsiders of the New York Knicks very much. Except Butler is a rookie, the rest of Andrew and Wilson Chandler are both offensive and defensive. They can both attack and defend. They will not suffer too much against any opponent.

The San Antonio Spurs are now on the outside, Tony Parker and Gallinier's defense can only be said to be average, and Tim Duncan is even needed to defend from time to time, and Tim Duncan can't complete the defense in this game, because Danilo Gallinari will put He pulls out.

The San Antonio Spurs saw that Popovich did not make any moves, so they had to serve again, and the ball was given to Tony Parker, who dribbled for half court.

Tony Parker dribbled the ball to the right three-point line, gave the ball to Gary Neal at the top of the arc, and then ran to the bottom corner by himself. Andrew followed without hesitation. At this time, Tim Duncan went to Tony Parker, for Tony Parker Parker built a wall to block Andrew.

Tony Parker took the opportunity to run out.

Gary Neal immediately returned the ball to Tony Parker.

The moment Tony Parker received the ball, Andrew had already chased him.

so fast!Tony Parker couldn't help saying in his heart.

Tony Parker makes a pick-and-roll gesture and Tim Duncan comes over again.

With a bang, Andrew was firmly blocked again.

Not far away, Jimmy Butler immediately came to help defend.

Once Jimmy Butler helps defend, then Gallinier is empty.

Tony Parker passes the ball on the move and it goes to Gary Neal.

Gary Neal, who received the ball, took off without the slightest hesitation, stayed in the air, and shot a three-pointer.

The ball draws a graceful arc in the air.

"Shua." With a sound, a three-pointer was hit.

2:3
Gary Neal responded with a three-pointer just now Wilson Chandler singled his goal.

"YES!" Gary Neal celebrated for a while, and even Popovich couldn't help applauding Gary Neal on the sidelines. He made a decisive shot. Although Popovich hated 3-pointers very much, he had to use them.

Because the world will not change for you, you can only change yourself to adapt to the world.

Now that the NBA is paying more and more attention to three-pointers, Popovich has to adapt the San Antonio Spurs to today's NBA.

Andrew hurriedly walked up to Jimmy Butler and said, "Jimmy, your task tonight is to follow Gallinier closely. Don't let him take it easily. Danilo Gallinari can help me make up for that ball just now." In the round just now, the New York Knicks had Andrew, Danilo Gallinari and Tyson Chandler in the middle, and the defense was solid.

At the same time, Gary Neal's three-point shooting percentage this season is ridiculously high, 42.9%!So the New York Knicks must not let him shoot easily.

Jimmy Butler nodded, swearing that the game would never leave Gary Neal open again.
