Chapter 155 Desperate Jackson (9/10)
Before Jackson could react, Tang Tianxia gave the ball to Ginobili in one second.
After receiving the ball, Ginobili turned around and made a quick break, and he threw Harden away and rushed to the frontcourt and scored in one-stop.
The Spurs played a 5-0 climax, narrowing the gap to 2 points in a row!
There was a turmoil at the scene. Tang Tian came up with a three-pointer and a steal, and his performance was a bit eye-catching!
Jackson glanced at Brooks as he dribbled forward, and then Durant.
Brooks frowned, while Durant looked serious. It was obvious that both the head coach and the boss of the team were dissatisfied with his performance in this period.
"Damn it!"
He cursed in his heart, and then he was fully focused and his eyes were filled with fire. He didn't believe that his hard work for a summer would be of no effect.
He will prove it in the next round! It proves that everyone has looked down on him!
When he dribbled to the frontcourt, he continued to signal to pull it away.
Harden pulled away at this time and reached out to signal the audience to cheer for encouragement.
He is a good teammate.
The audience cheered and whistled everywhere.
What American fans love to watch is this kind of heroic basketball. If you guard me, I will hit the next ball back!
Westbrook also stood up and applauded his younger brother at this time. This approach was very stylish.
Jackson felt the enthusiasm from the fans on the scene, and his whole body was filled with passion. He looked at Tang Tian in front of him and lowered the continuous change of the center of gravity.
Tang Tian is ten centimeters taller than him. Since the frequency that was just now could be cut off, then he lowered the center of gravity and Tang Tian would definitely not be able to cut it!
He changed direction continuously, lowered the dribbling height, and made another right-hand breakthrough.
"Bang!"
Tang Tian successfully predicted the position and was blocked from his breakthrough route. Jackson accelerated and ran into his body, his body was a little unbalanced.
"Bang!"
The next second, amid the restlessness of the audience, Tang Tian took the lead in standing up, then reached out and accurately slapped the ball in Jackson's hand.
Another steal!
Ginobili flew over and grabbed the ball, then shook his hand to Leonard on the fast break.
Leonard made a quick break in the backcourt and wisely avoided Cook's block and sent the ball into the basket.
In a 7-0 wave, the Spurs tied the score directly!
There was an uproar in the scene.
Brooks reached out and called for a pause.
The team's performance was a bit bad in this period.
"Nick, you mentioned that you were playing a pick-and-roll at a high position, lightning strike, and breaking through with a pick-and-roll. Bonner is their defensive weakness." Brooks said quickly. He really knows how to train rookies. Jackson was frustrated in a row, but he did not replace him or not allow him to play, but instead arranged tactics for him.
This is his absolute trust in the players. Durant, under his trust, made a big fuss and has become a hot star in the league.
Jackson was inspired after listening.
After Brooks arranged the tactics, Westbrook also took the initiative to reach out and pat Jackson on the chest to encourage him.
The timeout ended, and players from both sides returned to the court one after another.
"Blow him up, we all believe you what you can do." Durant also pulled Jackson and said quickly.
Jackson nodded vigorously, lowered his head and roared, regaining his morale and returning to the field.
The Thunder's offense, Jackson held the ball in the frontcourt, Harden was on the side to perform tactical command, and after other players opened up space, Collison mentioned that Jackson was able to provide pick-and-roll cover for Jackson at a high position.
Bonner is a space-type four-position with a stable three-pointer, but defense is his weakness, and Brooks' choice is very correct.
Jackson broke through the right with all speed after Collison's pick-and-roll.
But at this moment, Tang Tian's familiar figure appeared in front of him again!
The moment Corrison brought up the pick-and-roll, Tang Tian's professional instinct made him clearly know what the Thunder wanted to do.
Jackson's shooting ability is not good, so he immediately chose to give in without changing the pick-and-roll defense.
The tactics Brooks wanted didn't work.
Jackson was cut off two consecutive goals in front and had a little bit of a shadow on Tang Tian. Now that he saw Tang Tian appear unexpectedly in front of him, he was a little confused and unresponsive at the first time.
Tang Tian reached out to steal the ball. This time it was completely different from the front. He directly grabbed Jackson's ball with both hands!
Jackson reacted the next second and wanted to catch the ball, but he didn't snatch it!
Really hard to grab!
The fans on the scene were stunned. Is this basketball or rugby?!
For a moment, they saw the shadow of Gary Payton from Tang Tian in a trance!
The most famous "glove" in history is this kind of hard robbery!
Of course, Tang Tian cannot have the ability of Payton now. Even due to his physical fitness, he cannot exert Tony Allen's defensive strength by 100%. He is now completely based on individual defense and dynamic vision.
And it was also because Jackson didn't have enough experience and always went to the right to break through, and he was stunned for a moment and was robbed by him.
But no matter what, the visual effect of this steal is quite explosive!
After Tang Tian steals the ball to Ginobili as soon as possible.
Ginobili took the ball and threw it from the backcourt with a long throw, and the ball was given to Leonard who was about to go down. Leonard made a layup and then scored the ball before he scored it.
The fans at the scene were very restless. After this confrontation, they had already discovered that Jackson was no match for Tang Tian at all.
Popovich nodded with satisfaction on the sidelines, then retreated to the bench to sit down.
The team's two rookies, Leonard's defense and quick subconsciousness are both good, and Tang Tian's defense and three-pointers are a bit explosive. The Spurs did not strengthen this summer, and even lost his most trusted substitute George Hill, before, but now it seems that having these two rookies is enough.
The Thunder's offense, and the lightning strike Jackson greeted Collison's pick-and-roll that had not yet been completed. Looking at Tang Tian in front of him, he chose to pass the ball, but made a low-level mistake and directly passed the ball out of bounds.
After Jackson made a mistake, he shook his hands hard, and he almost slapped himself.
The fans on the scene have already seen the word despair in his performance.
Actually, if you think about any rookie, you were intercepted by the defender three times in a row, and once you took the ball away from your hands, it would be hard not to collapse. This is really desperate!
Brooks also realized that Jackson's strength was not Tang Tian's opponent, so he stood up and called Westbrook up and asked him to replace him in advance.
Durant was very upset and stood up to signal Brooks to play, but Brooks pressed him back. He wanted to win the game, but he didn't want to disrupt the rotation order.
Durant sat back on the bench in discomfort, but he could do nothing.
On the side of the Spurs' bench, Parker was laughing and silly on the sidelines at this time. Tang Tian forced Westbrook to play in advance!
Duncan reached out and touched Parker's head at this time, and his happiness could be seen from his expression.
This team hasn't had such a strong rookie appear for a long time.
Chapter completed!
