Chapter 37 My Attack

Duncan's free throw was not very accurate. He lost the ball. I firmly controlled the rebound and handed it to Tyrone Ru.

I was in the inside and blocked Duncan behind me. Of course, this did not work. In the entanglement with Duncan, even if the basketball was in hand, the possibility of my investment was very small. My task was to block Michael Jordan and give him enough space and time to invest the basketball.

Tyron Lu had no baskets on the outside, and it was obvious that Vicci deliberately let Tyron Lu out, allowing Bruce Bowen and Steve Smith to double-team Michael Jordan, and Tony Parker stared at Richard Hamilton to death. In this way, the Wizards' offense would stagnate.

Jordan got the ball and it was obvious that it was difficult to get rid of defense. The despicable methods of defensive expert Bruce Bowen and his defensive IQ made Michael Jordan feel very uncomfortable.

Jordan signaled someone to come out to pick-and-roll, and I was willing to take it as a pick-and-roll in training. I often practiced when I came out to do pick-and-roll for Jordan. I stepped out of the three-point line a few steps, my arms were pressed against the torso, and my body stood firmly beside Bruce Bowen. Jordan suddenly accelerated the dribble and flew past me like the wind.

Get rid of...

No! Not yet, Steve Smith came over to fill the seat and pressed Jordan with his body to prevent him from making standard moves.

Bruce Bowen hit me head-on, but he reached out to pull my jersey, adjusted his body balance with force, and chased Michael Jordan. Jordan was old after all, and he didn't completely get rid of it. In the blink of an eye, he was double-teamed by Bruce Bowen and Steve Smith again.

The road ahead was blocked, and there were pursuers behind him. Duncan, the stone Buddha beside him, was still eyeing him. Jordan couldn't, and he didn't look back and threw the basketball behind him. He knew that I was there.

I received the basketball and felt very comfortable. There was no one in front of me. Tim Duncan also double-teamed Michael Jordan. Don’t ask why, because the person who was double-teamed was called Michael Jordan. There was no one within three meters around me.

I did not hesitate. Although this did not conform to the previous tactical arrangement, I firmly raised the basketball in my hand, gently held it with my left hand, jumped up gently, and gently pushed the basketball out with my right hand. It felt good, better than usual when I practiced.

"Swish!"

The sound of basketball rubbing the ball net is very nice.

"whatagoal!" Elvin Hayes' surprise voice sounded from the commentator's seat: "Kaome Brown, made a three-pointer, it was a hollow three-pointer, very beautiful! No one thought that Kaome Brown would shoot outside the three-point line because his shooting skills were really bad. No one came to defend him. Everyone was staring at Michael Jordan, but Kaome Brown slapped the big mouth of those who looked down on him. The ball went in, very perfect! I just looked at his technical statistics. This was his second time to make a three-pointer. I remember the last time I made a final three-pointer at the last moment of the game against the Sixers. So far, he has shot two shots outside the three-point line, and all these two shots, and his three-point shooting percentage is 100%..."

"Ervin, it seems like you were talking about Kwame's offensive skills being bad?" Kevin Young said immediately.

"Have I said it? It's impossible! How could I say such things? You have to know that Kwame Brown is the No. 1 pick in this year's draft. He can put basketball into the opponent's basket in n ways. Three-pointers are just small cases..." Erwin Hayes immediately denied it, obviously this damaged his image as the NBA 50 superstar.

Not only the Spurs were a little surprised, but even the Wizards teammates felt a little incredible.

"Did you be fooled? Kwame!" Richard Hamilton asked in surprise.

"The first shot was misleading, can the second shot be misleading? Kwame, I will attract the defense later. After the pick-and-roll, pass the ball to you. Don't worry, you can shoot outside boldly!" Jordan obviously disdained Hamilton. I don't know if it was to encourage me or something, but he immediately changed his tactics and replaced it with me to attack.

The Spurs' offense is always so lacking in passion, without any fancy, and simply hand it over to the inside to solve the battle.

Tim Duncan took the ball, I stood in place, pressed my forearm against his back, and stared at his shoulders motionlessly.

Duncan tried my strength with his back and found that there was no chance. He raised his hand and passed the ball to Steve Smith on the outside, then turned and tangently towards the paint area. I followed him closely, not giving him too much room, but the defense side was always passive, and Tim Duncan cut into the paint area with an empty cut, catch the ball, jump, and pitch.

I quickly followed, jumped up hard, stretched out my right hand, trying to interfere with Tim Duncan's shot.

Duncan didn't shoot, he passed the ball, Shifo gently tweaked it, took the basketball back, and passed it behind me from my armpit. French sports car Tony Parker, a very beautiful catch and layup, the ball was very comfortable and beautiful. At this time, Tyron Lu, who was defending Tony Parker, was still wandering leisurely outside the free throw line.

With the last offense as the basis, this time I ran from the paint area to the pick-and-roll for Michael Jordan again from the paint area. Jordan got rid of the defense and killed the inside. He was double-teamed again. I was empty again. I practiced the three-pointer again, and the ball was embarrassed to enter again.

The Wizards bench was filled with joy, Richard Hamilton ran over and hit my chest, Jordan slapped my ass. Brandon Haywood looked at me with envious eyes.

"This is not a coincidence! It is definitely not a coincidence! Two consecutive three-pointers are definitely not a coincidence! **Vic is going to call a timeout! He must find a way to curb Kwame Brown's offense outside the three-point line! Kwame Brown's power outside the three-point line forced the Spurs to call a short timeout. It's amazing. A big man who can shoot three-pointers from the outside is incredible. Michael Jordan has dug up the treasure..." Elvin Hayes said loudly, very excited.

Michael Jordan was very happy and put his hand on my shoulder and kept saying praise.

"Next, the Spurs will definitely increase their defense against Kwame Brown. They may use Bruce Bowen to switch positions, or let Tim Duncan come out to defend, and Kwame come out to block the gap. If Bruce Bowen switches defense, Michael can directly break in and fail to break in, pass back to Brown, Kwame, Bruce is only 201cm tall. I believe his height and bounce will not have any impact on you. If Brown does not have a chance, pass it to Richard, Richard will be by your side. If Duncan comes out to defend, Brandon, you have to resist David Robinson, Michael, Richard, Tyrone, you three are rushing to the inside, I believe there will be enough space in the inside..."

Doug Collins may not be a famous head coach, but he has been in the NBA for many years and has never seen pork or pigs. As soon as I opened this point, I immediately arranged four or five sets of offensive tactics. I responded to the possible changes in the Spurs.

The timeout came back. The Spurs attacked, with Admiral David Robinson dunking at the basket and two points.

Everyone who knows the ball knows that the next goal is crucial. If the Wizards score, it proves that the Spurs' arrangement will not work at all. Otherwise, it will be a headache for the Wizards.

Amid the deafening "defense", Tyron Rue steadily transported the ball to the frontcourt, which was his biggest task. Michael Jordan took the ball again, and I continued to come out to pick-and-roll, Michael dribbled the ball and rushed in, Bruce Bowen bypassed me and chased Jordan, and the ball came to my hands again.

Tim Duncan jumped out of the inside, holding his right hand high to try to pressure me and interfere with my shooting. While he was not firmly standing, I bent down and stretched my right hand to his right to his right, dribble with his left hand, and took a big step, breaking through Duncan's defense in the stunned gaze of the whole game. I used all my strength, jumped hard, held the ball with both hands, "bang!" A powerful dunk ended the battle perfectly. I let go of the basket and landed. David Robinson behind me also landed on the ground with a "slap". He tried to stop me, but his speed was a little slow!

A perfect dunk, the audience never stings with applause. Applause rang out in the Alamo Stadium.

Doug Collins kept applauding from the court, Richard came over and pulled me, and said a word: "Beautiful!"

Although the inside skills are not very skilled, and although Duncan caught him off guard, this feeling is really good

**Vic kept shouting on the sidelines, making a unique tactical gesture to encourage the Spurs.

The Spurs attacked. Tony Parker passed the ball to Steve Smith from the outside and threw the ball in Richard Hamilton's eye-level defense. Brandon Haywood jumped high and gave me the basketball point. I held the basketball high with both hands, so that Duncan would have a chance.

The Wizards attacked again.

The ball came to my hands again, and Duncan came out to defend me, but this time he was very careful and his position was very reasonable. I had no chance and was not sure that I could shoot the basketball here. But this was already expected by Doug Collins. Richard Hamilton threw away Tony Parker's entanglement and went straight into the inside. My ball was just right to his hand, and a jump shot in the running and steadily scored two points.

"The Spurs can't defend. Now Duncan comes out to defend Kwame Brown, so the inside is empty. The Wizards' outside can easily hit the Spurs' inside shots. David Robinson is old and his athletic ability is no longer as powerful as he used to. As long as Brandon Haywood entangles him, he will not have enough energy to fill the position. If Duncan doesn't come out, the gap between others and Kwame Brown in height will be a bit big, and it is impossible to defend..."

There was something wrong with the Spurs' defense. But there was no doubt that the Spurs' offense was still very sharp. Tony Parker, David Robinson, Tim Duncan, and Steve Smith each had good scoring ability, and Bruce Bowen also made one or two three-pointers from time to time. It was originally a dull defensive battle, but with a wave of his hand, it turned into an offensive battle.
