I Am in the Same Year as Duncan Show - v2 Chapter 40
Chapter 40 won
In half a quarter, the Spurs scored a total of 12 points.
Xu Liang scored six points and passed two assists.
This means that 10 of the Spurs’ 12 points in this half of the quarter are directly related to Xu Liang.
Including the data in this half of the quarter, Xu Liang’s data in this game has improved again.
played 15 minutes, scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 block, 3 turnovers, 0 steals.
This stat is a very good stat no matter whether it rests on any substitute.
, after all, only played 15 minutes, and this data can be obtained in a little more than a quarter.
Xu Liang basically completed the tasks that should be completed in this game, and his debut performance was very close to perfection.
Even if this data is doubled and converted into 30 minutes, it can be regarded as the data performance that a superstar should have.
It’s just a pity, because Xu Liang just had a strong confrontation with Ma Long.
And in the past half-quarter, Xu Liang not only had to defend Malone on the defensive end, but also limited Malone’s offensive effectiveness.
also put a lot of energy on the offensive end to maintain the tactical operation of the entire Spurs team.
This also caused Xu Liang’s physical energy consumption to exceed the regular time consumption rate.
So after the timeout, Xu Liang not only suffered from sore body, but also had weak legs, gasping for breath, and sweating all over his body.
When confronted on the court just now, Xu Liang didn’t feel so tired.
And when he relaxed himself, all kinds of negative influences came one after another.
And Xu Liang like this is obviously impossible to play again in the short term, and it is even possible that Xu Liang will not have the chance to play again in this game.
But Xu Liang’s hard work is valuable. Xu Liang not only withstood the offensive pressure of the Jazz led by Malone in the half of the game.
also solidly won the half-quarter break for David Robinson and Duncan.
On the contrary, on the Jazz side, because of Xu Liang, Malone’s original plan of playing for three to four minutes to rest after playing was not implemented normally.
Originally in the Jazz’s plan, Malone topped the first three to four minutes in the fourth quarter and then rested for a few minutes.
Then Stockton played against the court, and in the last three or four minutes, the two played at the same time against the Spurs in a decisive battle.
Finally, because of Xu Liang, Sloan did not dare to replace Malone.
also didn’t dare to put Stockton on the court, after all, he put Stockton on the court prematurely.
will lead to the next decisive moment with the Spurs, both Malone and Stockton lack the physical strength to complete the confrontation.
Just like that, Malone played hard for six minutes.
Even if this timeout is over, the Jazz still dare not replace Malone. After all, after Xu Liang’s exit, it means that David Robinson and Duncan are going to play again.
The sense of pressure brought by the two super insiders is definitely much stronger than the inside pressure brought by Xu Liang just now.
Once Malone is taken down at this time, it is very likely that the Jazz will not be able to wait for the decisive moment with the Spurs and will be taken away by the Spurs.
As for Malone’s physical problems, Malone can only handle it.
Fortunately, Malone, as a rare iron man in the history of the entire league, has excellent physical reserves and physical recovery speed.
For this level of intensity and playing time, Malone can still handle it.
And the Jazz called another long timeout in order to get Malone more time off.
Although only a few more minutes of rest time.
But for Malone, the physical recovery that can be brought about by taking a few more minutes is far superior to others.
In addition, for Malone, for the next six minutes, he does not need to defend himself in the low post, which is a physical defensive method.
Malone can allocate more of his energy and stamina on the offensive end.
It’s just that Malone and the Jazz’s plan may not be realized.
The Spurs will not necessarily give them the chance to play as planned.
After all, the Spurs are also very clear, since the Jazz have called a timeout.
also means that Malone’s physical consumption must have exceeded the Jazz’s original expectations, and also exceeded Malone’s own physical expectations.
For a coach like Popovich, since he has discovered the opponent’s shortcomings, it is natural to seize the fight.
So when the timeout ended and the game continued, the Spurs’ offense was chasing Malone.
Whether it is Malone defending David Robinson or defending Duncan, both of them will take the initiative to attack with the ball.
If Malone doesn’t choose to defend these two men, then these two men will also take the initiative to attack with the ball.
After all, except for Malone, it is very difficult for the entire Jazz team to want Duncan and David Robinson, who have better restraints and more physical fitness.
Therefore, the situation on the field has been steadily favoring the Spurs since Malone had a fierce confrontation with Xu Liang for half of the game.
Although the score on the field ~www.mtlnovel.com~ because of the skillful cooperation of Malone and Stockton’s pick-and-roll system.
and the good feel of this game in Stockton, the points difference has not been completely opened.
But in fact, all the discerning people on the scene can tell that the Jazz has reached the end of the battle and is on the verge of collapse at any time.
After all, the Jazz’s pick-and-roll system requires Malone and Stockton to work together to complete and support.
If two people lack any one person, the system will be incomplete and there will be loopholes.
The result of the leakage is that the offensive efficiency of the pick-and-roll system will continue to decline.
It was the last two minutes of the fourth quarter.
The Jazz failed to score another offense, and the Spurs seized the opportunity that the Jazz players did not retreat in time for this offense, and took advantage of the situation to complete a quick counterattack.
From the failure of this offense to the quick counterattack, it also marked the turning point of the entire game.
Next, the Jazz continued to decline in offensive efficiency due to the continuous decline of Malone’s physical fitness.
The offensive stability of the Spurs seems very oppressive at this time.
And it is obvious that one party can still maintain a high offensive efficiency, and the offensive efficiency of one party continues to decline.
The final outcome is also doomed.
In the end, the Spurs won the opening game with the Jazz, the runner-up last year.
The final score was 107:101.
This game didn’t really open the score until the last minute.
More than a minute before the final end, the gap between the two teams in the entire game had never been more than five points.
This can not only show the strength of the Jazz, but also show that the Spurs this season is not that easy to mess with.
