241. Unruly in the bones

(Read the full text of the Reading House without pop-up windows)

Relying on Jackson's fierce move, the Spurs' counterattack fire was extinguished, and Billups then hit a three-pointer outside the three-point line to help the Warriors stabilize the lead.

With West on the court, Billups switched defense with him, and the one who was guarding Parker became West, while Billups stood with Ginobili, which made two pairs: West and Parker were both sports car madmen, while Billups and Ginobili were good at using their minds, so the game became even more exciting.

Parker quickly advanced to the frontcourt, Duncan covered him with a high post, he threw away West and ran down the court. Chamberlain replaced defense, Parker turned around and handed the ball to Duncan. Duncan easily knocked away West and scored a layup steadily.

West followed Billups, who passed the ball to him after the attack encountered obstacles. After getting the ball, West smiled grimly and rushed directly to the inside line as if he was hitting the car with full force. Parker tried hard to defend, and West threw away the French sports car twice in a row and made a jump shot.

Billups signaled Chamberlain to cover himself, but when Ginobili stepped back and bypassed Chamberlain, Billups took the opportunity to exit the three-point line and made a jump shot and sent the ball into the ring.

Looking back, Ginobili used a snake-shaped step to break through and layup, Jackson stepped forward to make up for defense, but Ginobili hit him and reached out to throw and hit two points, causing Jackson to foul, hitting a successful 2+1.

The two sides launched an attack war. In the first quarter, 1 minute and 13 seconds left, both sides tied at 30. In the end, both sides slowed down the pace and launched tough defense one after another. As a result, the Spurs did not score a single point in the last minute, while the Warriors scored a precious two points with Chamberlain's dunk and entered the second quarter with a slight lead of 32-30.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both sides began to rotate the lineup. Barry substitute Bowen appeared. As soon as he came on the court, he hit a three-pointer after receiving a pass from Horry outside the three-point line. The game started in just eight seconds and the lead changed hands again.

Because the substitute players came on the court and strengthened their defense, the shooting percentage of both sides began to drop sharply, and the two teams bounced out of the baskets on multiple shots.

At this time, the advantage of having a strong inside line came out. Louis passed the ball to Chamberlain and asked him to play in the penalty area. The latter jumped sideways under Duncan's defense and grabbed two points. Duncan was not willing to be outdone. He held the ball at a high position, and Chamberlain followed him out. As a result, Duncan suddenly started. After Chamberlain caught up, he was turned around again. This time he had no choice but to be thrown away, watching Duncan's arrogant goal.

After West and Louis joined forces to score 4 points, the gap between the two teams gradually widened a little, but in the next attack, Horry hit two consecutive three-pointers and bit the score tightly again. The Spurs felt very good, and the Warriors could only be jealous.

The two sides fought for about four minutes, and Old Nelson called a timeout. This time he pushed Chamberlain to the bench, and the other positions were replaced by the starter. O'Brient and Evans jointly controlled the Warriors' penalty area.

On the other hand, Popovich is also substituting players, and GDP is on the stage together. Parker and Ginobili are resting for four minutes before. This time, he is full of energy.

Seeing that the Warriors sent a combination of Evans and O'Brient in the interior, Duncan, who had no expression, finally smiled. He patted Parker's butt and said in a dull voice: "Tony, let me come later, I have to seize this opportunity!"

Parker is Duncan's loyal helper, and when he organized the offense, he handed the ball to Duncan.

Duncan jumped directly when facing Evans, who was half shorter than him. Evans pressed forward. Seeing this, Duncan raised his arm and pulled it back immediately. It was just a fake move before.

Evans was shocked and followed Thurmond's training and quickly slid sideways and wanted to reorganize the defense line. Seeing this, Chamberlain immediately covered his face with both hands. He could predict the next move: Duncan took two steps and stopped and retreated, while Evans was still sliding sideways. In this way, both sides opened up the distance, Duncan came to his favorite forty-five-degree wing and made a jump shot!

This is what makes Chamberlain feel terrifying. His predictions were too accurate when defending, just like those chess players, their opponents only took one step. They had already thought of the actions after two, three, or even five, ten steps, and strangled the opponent's plan in the cradle.

Sure enough, when Evans accelerated to the fastest, Duncan stopped and stepped back, and then made a jump shot from the wing.

Then, Billups made a mid-range shot and Duncan grabbed the rebound. Parker reached out to signal his teammates to follow up with a fast break, but after he reached the penalty area in the frontcourt, he did not continue to hang out with West, but passed the ball to Duncan who followed up from behind. Duncan easily dribbled past O'Brient and made a one-arm dunk.

Although the scores are not very bad, the momentum of the two teams is completely different.

West stubbornly chose singles, and Chamberlain's fate made the Warriors' offense sluggish. The Warriors could not find their core regardless of offense or defense. West had an old illness, that is, he didn't believe his teammates anymore, so he took the ball and went to singles to Ginobili.

Ginobili has been well-behaved with Bowen****, and his defensive level has long been completely different from before. West's breakthrough was stopped by Ginobili, so he was helpless. If he had taken action stubbornly in the past - no matter whether he hits or not, now it is different. If he has no way to score, he will pass the ball to his teammates and let his teammates solve the problem.

However, the Spurs strengthened their defense and no other people had a good opportunity to take action. In this way, when the offensive time was approaching, the ball was still passing between the players.

Billups was anxious. He wanted to pass the ball and shouted at West, "Dronti, rush!"

West tried to find a breakthrough point to throw away Ginobili who was defending him. When Billups saw that it was too late, he could only pass the ball to O'Brient in the penalty area.

But O'Brient's reaction speed was not as fast as Chamberlain. He did not go up to meet the ball, but reached out his hand and wanted to catch the ball passively. As a result, a hand suddenly appeared in front of him and steadily cut the ball off.

"Fast attack!" No one said this word, but everyone in the Spurs knew what to do. After Parker passed the ball, he rushed forward like a sports car, and others chased and ran towards the frontcourt. The Warriors were interrupted by this inexplicable interruption, and only West and Billups ran back.

Parker ran by himself, and Ginobili and Barry ran the fastest ahead, while Horry followed Parker behind, Duncan, who stole the ball, ran at the end. West and Billups saw that their teammates did not follow up in time, so the two immediately surrounded Parker one after another.

Parker ran while observing the left and right. He judged the situation while running, and knew that if it was spread out at this time, it would be easy to be cut off if it was spread.

Just as he ran to the free throw line, the rest of the Warriors finally reacted and followed. A fast break might have been blocked, and the fans in the Oracle Arena breathed a sigh of relief.

As a result, Parker put away the ball and ran into the inside line but turned around and passed the ball. Horry stood outside the three-point line. Although O'Brient and Evans both came down, Horry adjusted for a long time when he received the ball, and both of them were still running, with a mess of rhythm.

Horry easily avoided Evans' defense, and he made a decisive move from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer again.

Old Nelson had to call for a timeout. He looked at Chamberlain but did not replace him in the end. The Warriors now rely too much on Chamberlain, which would not work. He needed these guys to regain their wildness and become those rebellious Spartan Warriors.

After the timeout came back, the Warriors' offensive did not improve. Instead, the Spurs played very hard. The GDP combination showed great power, Duncan, Parker, and Ginobili worked together to score 9-2****, widening the score gap to double digits.

At this time, under the Spurs' step-by-step pressing, amid the roar of old Nelson, and the disappointed sighs of fans, the Warriors finally rose up.

Old Nelson replaced O'Brient during the timeout, and Harrington played, which means that their top players are no two meters one, which means that their average height is only just over 1.95 meters. Also, this means that they have absolute flexibility and speed.

West, who was always in awe of arrogance, stood up first. He took the initiative to get the ball like a fighting dog. Facing Parker's defense, he directly speeded up, used pure speed to break through, and rushed towards the inside line frantically.

Barry and Horry happened to appear on both wings of the penalty area. When they saw West rushing up, they joined forces immediately, and double-teamed him from both wings like pliers. They sneered at West, and their posture meant that if you dare to rush up, we can pinch you into meat pie.

West had a expressionless face, his eyes were as cold as ever, and he was fearless. Facing Parker behind him, Barry and Horry double-teamed in front of him, he ran at high speed without stopping or passing the ball, and still ran towards the three-second zone.

Just as one foot stepped into the three-second zone, Barry and Horry rushed up, and the route of passing was blocked by Parker who was running from behind. If the ball was passed, it would definitely be cut off, and if it was a strong attack, it would definitely be killed.

West also knew these two endings, but he still chose to face the double-team without hesitation. He twisted his knees frantically and suddenly stopped in the three-second zone. The soles of the shoe rubbed against the floor and made an unpleasant creak, just like a sports car that suddenly braked.

Horry and Barry both sighed in their hearts that the physical fitness of this crazy guy is absolutely ****. He ran so fast just now, and stopped just by stopping. Youth is good. Their knees can't stand such tossing. If his mother breaks through at the speed just now and then stops suddenly, her legs will probably break!

Despite their feelings, the two continued to go up and double-team.

After an emergency stop, West did not take a direct move but then put away the ball and took a step back. This way, it opened the distance between him and Horry and Barry, and jumped up almost against Parker coming from behind.

"Damn it, I'm looking for death!" Parker couldn't help but be furious when he saw West jumping up unscrupulously in front of him. He roared, stretched out his right hand high, and covered Parker's hands that were raised in the air.

A wonderful scene appeared. West's jumping was just a fake move. His left foot did leave the ground and his arms were raised, but his right foot was still rooted on the ground. When Parker jumped, he jumped up and rushed forward like a long jump, directly through the narrow gap between Barry and Horry and jumped under the basket!

Raise your hand, throw, hit!
