Chapter 329 Change of Thinking
This method of defending the pick-and-roll is very useful and it is not easy for the opponent to use the pick-and-roll to find flaws, but why are there not so many teams that use it this way?Because two defenders are required to have an excellent tacit understanding, and the requirements for big men are particularly high. Those big men who move too slowly cannot return to their positions quickly after a delay. actual.
Xiaojiasao does have a good screen quality and has the ability to respond, but his problem is that his inside cut is not as impactful as those blacks with strong bodies, and the outside shot does not have much projection threat, so in such an excellent defense as the Spurs In front of the pick-and-roll ability, the pick-and-roll effect is not good.
The pick-and-roll cannot form dislocations and opportunities, Xie Kai directly singles Hill.He holds the ball in his right hand, and pulls the ball with his crotch to his left hand. He quickly lowers his center of gravity and breaks through with his left hand.
Hill's prediction was in place, he blocked the breakthrough position in advance, and used his long arm to interfere with Xie Kai to prevent the opponent from making a sudden stop for a jump shot.
Xie Kai made a large back pull to the right hand, and then immediately accelerated the breakthrough.
Hill went to the position again, but he was still half a beat behind.
Xie Kai seized the position and pushed in with the ball.
Duncan on the weak side did not come over immediately. The Spurs' defensive strategy is like this, giving priority to protecting the basket. Once it is mid-range, give you a chance to test your touch!
Xie Kai directly pulled up and shot a jumper. He missed a single jumper like this in the first half. He didn't believe that his hand feeling would continue to be bad today——crack!Strike the iron!
Duncan easily accepted the backcourt rebound and handed it to Parker to advance.
"See, this is the All-Star player who can score 25+5+5 per game in the regular season!" Barkley looked down on him at all.
Mike Fratello didn't know what to say. It stands to reason that in the regular season, Xie Kai basically held the ball in his hands.But in the playoffs, the basket seemed to be covered, no matter how many shots there were, there were no shots.Xie Kai didn't make any of today's mid-range and long-range shots.
Grizzlies coach Hollins on the sidelines also looked sad.If Xie Kai can't open it, it will hurt the team's offense too much.In the absence of Gay, the team's outside offense basically points to Xie Kai and Conley.
The Spurs attacked here, and Parker used the cover to hit the iron in the middle distance!
Xiaojiasao accepted the rebound and handed it to Conley to advance.
Conley dribbles over and gives one to Randolph in the low post.
Randolph forcibly chiseled in to attract the opponent's pincer attack, but there was no way to forcefully attack the frame!
Duncan received another rebound and gave it to Parker to fight back!
Parker killed the frontcourt in one go, played the speed of the French sports car, turned around on the top, and made a layup-Xie Kai, who was rushed by the horse, blocked the ball!
The ball flew out of the baseline!
The Spurs fans at the scene sighed with regret.
"Wonderful blocking! Kane's return to defense is very fast!" Mike Fratello praised.
Barkley said: "One thing to say, Kane Xie's defense is still passable."
"It's rare to hear words affirming Kane Xie from your mouth!" Mike Fratello laughed.
Barkley seemed very ordinary: "I'm talking about the facts, but the Memphis Grizzlies now need to attack. No matter how good the defense is, they can't win the game."
This is already Xie Kai's third block in this game!Ironically, he blocked as many shots as he scored and rebounded more than he scored.
The Spurs serve in the frontcourt, George Hill gets the ball, and then passes the ball to Parker.
Parker gave the ball to Richard Jefferson on the right wing.
Jefferson broke through the bottom line, forcibly attacked the frame, and was interfered by the two bears-missed a layup!
Xie Kaifei received the rebound and made a pass to Tony Allen in the frontcourt.
Tony Allen counterattacked with the ball, but was stopped by the opponent!He returned the ball to Conley to continue organizing.
The Spurs fans in the stands were waving white towels and cheering for the home team. The atmosphere on the scene was still very good.The home team is currently leading by 13 points, and the opponent seems to be unable to score at all, which makes the fans look very happy.
Conley and Xiaojiasao cooperated and made a mid-range jumper-the bullet came out of the frame!
Randolph grabbed an offensive rebound from the basket and made a tip!
Black Bear Randolph scored the first 2 points of the two teams in the second half!
The Spurs still lead by 49 points at 38:11!
For the Spurs, Duncan only ate the little sister-in-law under the basket, and there was no hook!
Tony Allen grabbed the rebound and handed it over to Xie Kai.
"Tim is still affected by the injury, and I think his shot is a bit wrong!" Mike Fratello said.
"This is why Memphis chose to challenge them. Tim is the core of San Antonio's offense and defense. His injury is too great for the team!" Barkley agreed.
Xie Kai faced Hill with the ball, gave the ball to the high-ranking sister-in-law, and suddenly cut inside!
The little sister-in-law passed the ball beautifully and led the ball, which made Xie Kai very comfortable when receiving the ball.
Xie Kai received the ball. After an in-out, he took a jump step, cut into the inside, and forcibly attacked the frame, causing a foul by McDyess!
The Spurs fans in the stands booed. They thought McDyess's ball was a beautiful defense.
McDyess also raised his hands high, arguing with the referee that he did not press down on the ball.
The referee insisted that the ball was a foul, and Xie Kai executed two free throws.
Under the double interference of Spurs fans using plastic sticks and noise, Xie Kai walked to the free throw line and prepared to make a free throw.
Xie Kai took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly, he was adjusting his shooting rhythm.Free throws are the most stable means of scoring. At this time, the opponent cannot defend himself.
Xie Kai patted the ball twice, and then shot it immediately - the ball circled twice on the basket and hit!
The second free throw went into the frame, and Xie Kai made two free throws!
The point difference was narrowed to single digits - 9 points!
The morale of the Grizzlies is slowly coming up!The difference between double digits and single digits is completely different in terms of perception. The former feels difficult to catch up, while the latter will give the trailing side hope of tying.
Parker dribbles over and passes to Duncan in the low post.
Duncan beat the little sister-in-law by force, and was flanked by Parker who was on the outside!
Parker was intercepted by Xie Kai when he broke through Hill!
Xie Kai counterattacked with the ball, turned around and passed Parker, went straight to the basket, and succeeded in dunking with the flying tomahawk!
"Bang—" the basket made a vibrating sound!
Mike Fratello exclaimed: "Kane Xie made a steal and counterattack dunk! The difference between the two sides is only 7 points!"
Popovich decisively requested a timeout!
The players of the Grizzlies were very excited, and Xie Kai and his old teammate Arthur on the bench even had a chest bump!
Barkley explained: "There is a problem with San Antonio's offense! Memphis is using the tricks the opponent used to deal with itself in the first half, and it is dealing with the opponent!"
Mike Fratello agreed: "It's over 2 minutes into the game and San Antonio hasn't scored yet and they're still on 49 points, which really gives the opponent a chance."
