Legendary basketball manager

On November 11th, Beijing time, the Rockets ushered in the fourth game of the regular season.

Today, they will sit at home to meet the challenge of the San Antonio Spurs.

It is worth mentioning that both teams have won three consecutive victories since the start of the game.

Therefore, this Texas Civil War has become one of the games that fans are most concerned about today.

CCTV will naturally not miss such an important game.

"Hello, viewers and friends, welcome to watch the broadcast of NBA games brought to you by cctv-5. I'm Yu Jia!"

"I am your old friend - Zhang Weiping!"

"Director Zhang, can you give us a brief analysis of the situation of the two teams?"

Yu Jia asked.

"Ok."

"I don't know if you have heard a saying called the Three Texas Illusions."

"The Mavericks are strong, the Spurs are old, and the Rockets are weak."

"So today it's the old, slow Spurs against the new, weak Rockets."

"But in fact, both teams are the two best performing teams so far this season."

Zhang Weiping said with a smile.

"It is true that these two teams always give people the illusion of being weak, but I believe that not many teams are willing to meet them in the series."

"However, Director Zhang, I still want to ask which team do you prefer?"

Yu Jia continued to ask.

"Spurs."

Zhang Weiping gave his answer without hesitation.

"I think this year's Spurs are very promising to compete for the championship."

"The strength of the 'GDP (Duncan-Parker-Ginobili)' combination is obvious to all. The only criticism of the Spurs is that after the age of the core players has risen, the team lacks a backbone, or a talent with strong athletic ability player."

"But the arrival of Richard Jefferson made up for the lack of talent on the Spurs."

"Although he did not perform to the level he should have last year, I believe that after such a long period of running-in, Jefferson should be able to integrate into the Spurs this year."

"Although the Rockets have been gaining momentum recently, the main players are still relatively young, and it is difficult to maintain a high level stably."

"Plus, our Dayao hasn't made a comeback yet, the Rockets' inside line is actually in a vacuum. It might be bad luck to meet Duncan today."

Zhang Weiping analyzed.

"My opinion is similar to yours."

"If the Rockets want to win against the Spurs today, they must play together with several teenagers."

"If Griffin and Duncan can explode each other, Lowry restricts Tony Parker, and McGrady plays at a super giant level, the Rockets still have a chance to hit the ground."

Yu Jia added.

"Okay, the game will start right away, let's pass the camera to the front!"

He waved his hand, and the screen cut to the Toyota Center Arena.

............

At this time, the starters of both sides have already walked to the center of the court.

"As you can see, the Spurs have basically continued their core lineup for many years."

"French little sports car at back - Tony Parker with Gary Neal, Jefferson with DeJuan Blair up front and 'Stone Buddha' - Duncan at center."

"On their bench, there is also the 'demon knife' we are familiar with - Manu Ginobili."

"The Rockets' starting lineup is the same as in the past three games-Lowry, Tracy McGrady, George, Griffin and pj-Tucker."

Yu Jia introduced.

On the field, McGrady looked serious, he knew that today's game would be a tough one.

George quietly observed Spurs small forward Jefferson from the sidelines.

Richard Jefferson, once one of the Nets' Three Musketeers, once helped the team reach the finals.

Before the game, Mark Jackson handed over the task of defending the powerful player to George.

Pickle accepted it very excitedly.

For marking the opponent's arrow figure, George never shirks.

Instead, he stays positive about it.

In George's eyes, this kind of matchup can hone his defensive skills on the one hand, and learn the offensive skills of the opponent on the other.

After all, although he has practiced with McGrady for two months, TC is an extremely talented player, and some skills are not suitable for George.

[Come on, let me see what's special about you. ]

George thought to himself.

At the same time, in the vip box on the stands, Shen Fei was lazily leaning on the sofa, overlooking everything on the field.

Today's game is very important for the Rockets.

As long as he wins, Yao Ming will be healed immediately.

In other words, if you win today, the Rockets' lineup will be complete tomorrow!

For such an important match, Shen Fei naturally wanted to watch the match.

When necessary, he will also provide "help" to the Rockets players at any time.

............

With the referee throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!

Duncan jumped high and won the scrimmage with Griffin.

Although the two are about the same height, Daidai's wingspan is much longer than Griffin's.

The Spurs go first!

Parker held the ball through half court and met Lowry's defense.

The little French sports car beckoned, and Blair, who was on the inside line, stepped up immediately to set up cover for him.

Parker didn't think much about it, and wanted to simply use the pick-and-roll to get rid of the defender.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he bypassed Blair with his front foot, Lowry squeezed through the screen with his back foot and followed him.

"Hey, Lowry's move is really powerful! He just squeezed past Blair's pick-and-roll, which is equivalent to defending against two."

Zhang Weiping said in surprise.

"The advantage of the flexibility of a small defender is evident at this moment."

Yu Jia added with a smile.

Parker failed and was about to reorganize the attack, but Lowry suddenly rushed up and almost completed the steal directly.

Fortunately, Parker was experienced and immediately put his body between the opponent and the basketball, barely protecting the basketball.

Moreover, after the two made physical contact, the French sports car staggered a few steps backwards, while Lowry stood motionless.

"Tough defense, Lowry's leading defense is really good!"

Zhang Weiping couldn't help but praised again.

After just a few seconds, Parker realized that the young defender in front of him was definitely not a good guy!

He did not choose to attack, but passed the ball to his teammate - Jefferson.

At this time, there was not much time left in the attack, and the other players of the Spurs consciously pulled away, leaving enough space for Jefferson to play singles.

This is what the team is looking for him to do!

It is equivalent to having a strong solution when tactics fail to work.

Although Jefferson is not a small forward at the level of James and Anthony, his offensive ability is still good, with diverse and proficient skills.

He looked at the first-year rookie in front of him——George, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Rookie, have you watched my game?"

Jefferson lowered his weight and dribbled the ball while talking casually.

"Ah."

George was noncommittal, never taking his eyes off the basketball.

"Then you should know... I like to use this kind!"

Jefferson was in the middle of speaking, and suddenly became violent.

I saw him change hands with his right hand to dribble the ball to his left hand, and then stepped out with his left foot to make a crossover!

The whole set of movements is smooth and flowing, although the range is not large, it is still very deceptive.

After changing direction and dribbling, Jefferson is very confident, and the opponent will definitely not be able to respond.

But the next moment, a cold voice sounded...

"know."

"Snapped!"

As soon as the words fell, George pounced forward, stretched out his ghost hand, and left the ball in place.

"Accurate prediction! The Rocket teenager actually judged the position of Jefferson's change of direction in advance, and directly completed the steal with his shot!"

Yu Jia commented in a timely manner.

After George broke the ball, he immediately began to advance and launch a counterattack.
