RNP Chapter 150
Chapter 150
It can be said that the Spurs also responded to the Kings' offensive and defensive transition with their own style. Now both sides know that it may not be too easy to win against the other.
Fox brought the ball to the Spurs' half, while also calling in Sabonis Jr. to block for himself.
Fox belongs to the kind of typical modern point guard that Ginobili said, and when it comes to organizational ability, he is definitely not as good as Chang Tiancheng, but he has a stronger impact than Chang Tiancheng, which also makes his personal breakthrough very difficult to prevent. A large part of the reason why he and Sabonis Jr.'s pick-and-rolls can exert so much power is that he is so fast after getting around the pick-and-rolls that people have to pay more attention to him.
But in this way, it will lead to Sabonis Jr. himself being released for a distance, and he can use his offensive moves more freely.
Fox still maintained his previous style of play, after bypassing Sabonis Jr.'s blocking, Fox suddenly accelerated, directly to the Spurs' basket, so fast that it was impossible for Collins, who switched to the defense, to keep up, and was left far behind by Fox.
But Wembanyama was able to react to Fox's breakthrough at this time, not that he really had super reflexes, but that he had studied the Kings' game video in advance, and knew very well that Fox and Sabonis Jr.'s blocking tactics were clear.
In Wembanyama's eyes, Fox actually doesn't have the ability of Chang Tiancheng to rush to the inside line to pass the ball to find his own center or power forward, which leads to the fact that once he chooses to hold the ball in the pick-and-roll cooperation, then in most cases he will consider finishing himself. Some shots are unreasonable, but he can force the ball into the ball by his own ability.
Wembanyama was ready for Fox to kill the inside line in advance, and when he really broke through, Wembanyama was already ready to wait for the rabbit on the inside, and the moment Fox jumped, Wembanyama also jumped with him, and at the same time stretched out his long arm to try to cover Fox's layup.
Fox really hadn't seen Wembanyama's level of height and reach to defend him before, and he couldn't dodge for a while, and was solidly blocked by Wembanyama.
Suohan picked up the ball and passed the ball directly to Chang Tiancheng with both hands on his chest.
Chang Tiancheng dribbled the ball for two steps, and found that Kelden had rushed to the front court from the other side of the court, so he directly passed an advance amount and sent the ball to Keldon one step ahead.
And Keegan Murray, who was behind Keldon, was always one step away from Keldon, resulting in the inability to catch up with Keldon.
Keldon picked up the ball next to him, dribbled it, and jumped straight away, stretched his arm all out, and completed a one-arm tomahawk slash.
2:4, the three goals in the opening game were all dunks, which also made the atmosphere of the audience suddenly aroused.
Fox dribbled the ball outside the Spurs' three-point line, this time he didn't plan to call for blocking, but wanted to single-handedly challenge Chang Tiancheng, but Chang Tiancheng is indeed not so easy to be eaten alone, with the blessing of steel and iron skills, Chang Tiancheng is now on the defensive end is afraid of some players who are much taller than him, such as James or Doncic, which is a category that he can't defend at all.
And a speed-type small guard like Fox, in fact, Chang Tiancheng is not particularly afraid, and his lateral speed has also been improved to a certain extent, if the opponent's guard really likes to rely on rhythm to pass people, such as Curry, Harden, Irving, etc., then Chang Tiancheng may really be a little jealous, but like Fox, who almost relies on speed to pass people, Chang Tiancheng will not be bothered.
Sure enough, Fox wanted to rely on his speed advantage to make a hard break several times, but he was able to stand up in a defensive position in advance, resulting in Fox having no way to make further breakthroughs and had to return to outside the three-point line.
Seeing that most of the offensive time had passed, Fox was not iron-clad, and when he realized that he couldn't rely on speed alone, he decisively gave the ball to Sabonis Jr. on the inside, wanting to maintain the team's offensive firepower through his interior attack.
Sabonis Jr. is actually already an All-Star level star, and he will naturally not be soft in the face of Collins. But what made Sabonis Jr. feel a little jealous was Wembanyama, who was standing behind Collins and defending his own power forward Huerter.
Sabonis Jr. had already played a training match against Wembanyama before, and the two of them were teammates in that match.
Although Sabonis Jr. partnered with Embiid on the inside in that game, and Wembanyama played the No. 3 position, Sabonis Jr. could still clearly feel the opponent's dominance on the defensive end, especially in the help defense.
After much hesitation, Sabonis Jr. chose to single Collins with his back, and instead of making a turn cut to the Spurs' interior, he made an outside turn to the other side, that is, the side close to the baseline, and then made a step-back jumper.
Collins tried his best to interfere, but the distance was still too close to the basket, and Sabonis Jr. easily scored the shot to make the score 4-4.
Chang Tiancheng dribbled the ball, and at this time he still didn't think about attacking by himself. In fact, as early as the beginning of the season, Chang Tiancheng had already made up his mind, his personal ability this season is not important, the most important thing is the championship, for this goal, he can give up many shots.
Under the influence of this idea, Chang Tiancheng still gave the ball to Wembanyama on the inside first.
After Wembanyama received the ball, he looked at Huerter, who was defending himself. Huerter's height is only 201 cm, which is really not enough to see in front of Wembanyama, who is close to 230 cm.
Wembanyama didn't even bother to play a back-to-back single, but after dribbling twice, he shot directly at Huerter with a pull-up.
After the basketball bounced twice on the basket, it still landed in the net.
At 4:6, the Spurs relied on Wembanyama's interior advantage to score two points from the Kings again.
Chang Tiancheng saw that Wembanyama still chose the inefficient mid-range shot, and didn't say anything. Even with the addition of steel and iron bones, he is only about 190 centimeters tall now, and he may not be destined to understand what it feels like for a person like Wembanyama, who is 30 centimeters taller than the opponent, to shoot directly against the opponent's defense.
