Chapter 133 Two-game losing streak
The second half of the game came as promised, and the Spurs changed their starting lineup. The combination of Radar, Mills, Murray, Aldridge, and Bortle once again appeared with three guards and two inside players.
Three defenders can make the Spurs' passing more accurate and faster, and can also make the Jazz's defense lose its due effect to a certain extent.
In the third quarter, Radar moved to the shooting guard position and asked Mills to organize. In fact, their main offensive points were Radar and Aldridge.
The Spurs had the ball, and Radar received the ball from Mills, near the free throw line, and passed Mike Conley. This is Radar's best shooting spot, and there is no suspense.
The Jazz still gave Conley the ball for distribution, even though he was intercepted twice by radar in the first half. Let Conley pass the ball, because he is selfless and accurate in passing, and he can always find the right player.
No, Mitchell received the pass, took three steps and two steps at a time, hit the basket with a meteoric stride, and made a gliding dunk, which instantly ignited the atmosphere of the audience.
Mitchell's dunk was very exciting and entertaining to watch. This is a young player who has won the dunk title and his future is limitless.
Mills couldn't guard Mitchell, so Radar temporarily switched defenses with him. Under normal circumstances, even if Radar plays the second position, he still defends the opponent's first position. Fortunately, Conley today doesn't have such a strong desire to attack.
Mills gave the ball to Murray. Facing Ingles, Murray's height was really at a disadvantage. He had no vision at all when shooting. He was forced to stop dribbling and almost made a mistake and lost the ball. When Radar saw this, he ran immediately.
Arriving next to Murray, Radar almost snatched the ball from Murray before Murray could pass the ball.
Stealing the radar of his teammates, using Murray's screen, he shot a three-pointer again.
This ball made Zhou Zhou laugh, and he said: "It's a good ball. They say that rabbits bite people when they are anxious. But when the radar is anxious, they even steal the ball from their teammates."
Murray also looked helpless. It was too difficult for me. In addition to preventing Ingles's ball, I also had to prevent my teammates' steals.
Even Popovich couldn't help but feel happy when he saw it. His gray old face was originally tense, but it was instantly detected by the radar.
In the third quarter, Radar almost turned into a scoring machine, scoring 18 points in a single quarter. The entire third quarter was Radar's personal performance, making 3 of 5 three-pointers, 3 of 3 two-pointers, and 3 of 3 free throws.
Two more assists were recorded.
The Spurs did shake the Jazz's iron wall in the third quarter, with a score of 32 to 27 in a single quarter, in which Aldridge contributed 6 points, Mills 3 points, Murray 3 points, and Boltel 2 points.
With a score of 74 to 79, the Spurs are still 4 points behind. However, there is good news. It should be considered good news. Gobert has accumulated 3 personal fouls. If the Spurs target him in the fourth quarter, there may be a chance to pull this out in advance.
A "poisonous sting" that takes root in the heart.
In the fourth quarter, the lineups of both sides remained unchanged and the final showdown began.
The Jazz's offense started with Donovan Mitchell stepping on the three-point line. He took three long steps and aimed for the basket. Due to his amazing explosive power, Mitchell seemed unstoppable, even the veteran Aldridge turned aside.
The body let him pass. The radar followed the ball, but was blocked by Bogdanovic's tall body in the penalty area.
The basketball court is like this. On the offensive end, one person may be able to challenge five people, but on the defensive end, the opponent only needs two people, one to block you and one to attack.
Yes, Radar also has teammates. On the one hand, others cannot keep up with Mitchell's pace. On the other hand, Mitchell's explosion is not inferior to that of Westbrook. He is like a tank attacking the inside and cannot be stopped.
The Spurs continued to steal points, and they kept attacking the inside. During the second attack, Mills was called for an offensive foul, and the Spurs once again lost the ball.
Mitchell, who had tasted the sweetness, continued to ask for the ball. He wanted to continue to bomb the basket.
Conley was very generous and passed the ball to Mitchell. Mitchell used the same move again, three-point line, 45-degree angle, sudden acceleration, which means the radar reacts quickly and the explosion is equally amazing, so he can keep up with Mitchell.
Donovan Mitchell once again reached the basket very smoothly, and the Spurs' interior defense looked fragile at this moment.
The radar followed him, and after three steps, Mitchell took off and glided in the air. This is a very talented dunk player with a certain ability to stay in the air.
Radar's pursuit block failed. No, although it was not a failure, it was more embarrassing than not being blocked. He blocked the shot hard and placed it on the backboard, making a loud "bang" sound.
Mitchell's dunk completely ignited the fans at the scene, and was also mixed with jeers.
After landing, Mitchell said to Radar: "Do you have a grudge against the backboard? With such force, the backboard hurts."
I thought that Mitchell would be quieter when playing, but I never thought that he would also taunt him. Radar felt that no one had provoked him like this in many games, and that feeling came back.
Radar received a pass from Mills outside the three-point line, and Mitchell immediately stepped forward to defend. Almost as suddenly, Radar accelerated instantly, rushed into the penalty area in three strides, then jumped, stayed in the air, and glided.
Mitchell also kept up with Radar, and at the same time, Gobert stretched out his long arm inside, trying to block Radar's dunk.
The radar in the air used all its strength to detect this ball. It was as overwhelming as a mountain, overwhelming and unstoppable.
Yes, Radar used copy skills, the same moves as Mitchell, the same mid-air gliding chop.
The only difference is that Mitchell is on the front and there is Gobert on the right side.
"Bang!" There was another loud noise, and the chatter at the scene suddenly stopped, and the whole place was silent.
Compared with the short-lived silence of the Energy Solution Arena, Zhou Zhou once again jumped onto the live broadcast chair excitedly, shouting excitedly: "Beautiful, the radar dunked two people at the same time, one was Donovan Mitchell, and the other
It’s Gobert, the Salt Lake City beast.”
"Oh my god, how did Radar do it? Dunking is not his strong point. This gliding dunk is so cool that it can be ranked in the top 10 of the top 100 dunks of the year."
"Brothers, the person who dunked on Radar was the best defensive player Rudy Gobert! I can only say Mitchell, you angered Radar. Wow, the referee even blew Gobert's defensive foul to save face."
Mitchell was silent. The dunk he was proud of could also be done by Radar, and the difficulty level exceeded 5.0. He asked himself that this shot was very difficult in the face of his and Gobert's defense.
After Radar added penalties, the Jazz were not affected. They continued to attack. However, in the next five minutes, the two sides fell into an iron fight. In addition to the sighs of the fans, the only sound left at the scene was "bang, bang, bang" from the basket.
.
Halfway through the fourth quarter, the Jazz re-emerged. They showed their athletic talent in addition to their strong defense. The sudden fast break caught people off guard. Conley made a four-minute long pass and Bogdanovic scored with a layup. Mi
Chell caused a mistake by Murray and gained the ball. Gobert crushed the ball inside and completed a dunk. Then Ingles fired from the outside and hit a three-pointer.
A small climax of 7-0, the point difference widened again. With three minutes left in the game, Radar was hesitating whether to use super aiming. Mills passed the ball. Radar was stunned and the basketball passed by.
, directly into the hands of Ingalls.
The Jazz launched another fast break, and Conley completed a layup.
95 to 83, the Spurs were 12 points behind.
Radar had no choice but to turn on super aiming. Radar scored a three-pointer to help the Spurs get the score back within 10 points. However, an accident happened on the court at this time. Boltel and Gobert got into a ball. The two sides almost started fighting, but the referee immediately signaled to stop the game.
.
The two struggled for a rebound. The referee watched the replay and dealt with it slowly. The radar watching was very anxious. Similar to the previous game, an accident happened just after he started super aiming.
Day, my skill points!
Radar was about to cry, because the referee watched the video and made a penalty. Both sides received a foul and executed the free throw.
When the free throw ended, Radar's super aiming only had one last chance to attack. Before the super aiming time expired, Radar hit another three-pointer, so that the game did not completely lose suspense.
The Jazz paused and increased their defensive intensity again. They started a zone defense and used a double-teaming tactic for Radar. Mitchell even refused to let Radar catch the ball. Even though Radar was already running wildly, Mitchell followed him wherever he went.
There are double teams everywhere.
