The rise of basketball legends

Chapter 832 Not interested in records

For the San Antonio Spurs, Ginobili and Diaw led the second team.

Ginobili played 7 and a half minutes in the first quarter and continued to play in the second quarter. Tonight's game will also be a big test for his physical fitness.

Duncan and Parker are also ready at any time. If the situation goes wrong, Popovich will send them on the court immediately.

Tonight, everyone in the Spurs has the consciousness to fight hard. If they lose this game, then the next game back to New York will probably be the last game of the series.

The Spurs' pace was not slow in the second quarter.

After Ginobili got the ball, he used the pick-and-roll to drive inside.

Kenyon Martin's defense was in place and interfered with his floater.

In the finals, Kenyon Martin was reused by Nelson. Compared with the UAE, this veteran has richer experience.

In addition, the effect of the Arab League playing the third position was not good. Nelson deliberately reduced his playing time in the finals.

In the first three games of the finals, the UAE averaged 9.5 minutes per game. In the limited playing time, the UAE averaged 4.1 points and 3.5 rebounds per game.

This cannot be blamed on Nelson. UAE does not have an advantage over competitors at the same position in the team. His outside shooting is unstable, his physical confrontation is not strong enough, and his game experience is not rich enough.

When playing the third position, Ah Lian's skills are a little worse, and his three-point ax can easily be figured out by his opponents.

Chen Yan will not put pressure on the coaching staff or management to increase his playing time just because he is a compatriot of Arab League.

This is not Chen Yan's style. He has always advocated fair competition within the team.

There are rumors that the United Arab Emirates will be traded or waived by the Knicks after playing in the finals. In fact, it is not that exaggerated. First of all, Kenyon Martin, another substitute inside player in the team, is already 35 years old. In the long-term competition with the United Arab Emirates, He certainly doesn't have the upper hand.

In addition, Nelson has full confidence in Ah Lian. He feels that Ah Lian is diligent enough and has great potential that has not yet been tapped.

There is a high probability that the Arab League will not leave next season, but it is hard to say about another yellow player.

Shuhao averaged only 7.1 minutes per game in the finals, ranking behind Curry, Barea, and Beverley.

Shuhao's characteristic offense is not outstanding among the Knicks' point guards. Curry and Barea are above him, and his defense is far inferior to Beverley.

After this season, he will most likely leave.

Several teams have taken the initiative to contact Shuhao. His explosive performance in the middle of the season proved that he has the ability to gain a foothold in the NBA. However, Shuhao did not negotiate in advance. He is professional enough and wants to wait for the finals. Let’s talk about it later.

Al Harrington got the rebound. Chen Yan received the ball and pushed it across the half court and passed it to Barea in a wide range.

Barea made a three-pointer directly.

Although he missed, he played the Knicks style!

Ginobili got the rebound and drove straight in!

Ginobili used his breakthrough to disrupt the Knicks' defense, and then distributed the ball to the outside.

Neil caught the ball from the corner and hit a three-pointer!

34:28.

Neil can't organize and his defense is average, but he is really good at three-pointers.

He has a 41% three-point shooting rate this season, otherwise Popovich would not keep him.

The Knicks attacked, Barea held the ball, and Beverley and Kenyon Martin closed the door at the same time, helping Chen Yan block the chasing player.

The Knicks recreate the "elevator door" tactic!

Barea and Chen Yan have a tacit understanding. When the opportunity arises, they pass the ball as soon as possible.

Chen Yan easily hit a three-pointer.

37:28.

"It seems that Chen Yan continued the feeling from the first quarter to the second quarter." Yu Jia said with a smile.

"I can't stop it, I really can't stop it." Yang Yi also smiled.

The Spurs made a quick move, and Ginobili followed suit and passed another one to Neal.

This time Neal missed.

The Knicks pushed to counterattack, and the Spurs directly double-teamed Chen Yan.

Al Harrington got an open opportunity from the outside and failed to make a three-pointer.

Ginobili grabbed the rebound and pushed forward.

Just as he was about to rush forward, Beverly knocked him over from the side.

Chen Yan walked over and patted Beverly on the back of the head. He did the right thing. Be fierce when you should be fierce, otherwise it will be too late to wait for the opponent to gain momentum.

The Spurs' second team performed very well. In addition to Neal, Stephen Jackson, Ginobili and Diaw all hit three-pointers.

In fact, the Spurs' second lineup is not bad at first.

Ginobili is an All-Star guard, and Diaw and Stephen Jackson are experienced veterans.

But even so, it still failed to catch up with the score difference.

Chen Yan's personal ability is terrible. Under his leadership, the Knicks' second lineup also attacked very fiercely.

Popovich sent Duncan and Parker up with just over 6 minutes left in the second quarter.

This is already a good ending for the Spurs. The second team held up long enough to give both Duncan and Parker enough rest time.

Ginobili high-fived Duncan and Parker before leaving the court. His mission in the first half was completed.

Ginobili is not Chen Yan. His biggest shortcoming is physical fitness. He couldn't work hard when he was young, let alone now.

Parker worked hard after coming on the court and drove to the basket with the help of a screen. He turned around and scored two points with a layup.

51:43.

The Knicks started off quickly, and Curry, who was new to the game, was also full of energy and accelerated past halftime immediately.

Chen Yan first dove into the crowd, and then suddenly accelerated out of the three-point line. He knew that the Spurs were now very strict on his defense and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to find opportunities.

This move did have results. Chen Yan ran outside the three-point line and received Curry's pass.

The moment he caught the ball, Chen Yan bent his knees and raised his hands, assuming a shooting posture.

Ginobili is a little nervous, trying to steal another three-pointer?

Ginobili rushed forward.

Chen Yan calmed down for a moment and then suddenly exploded and hit Ginobili.

Ginobili is a master at drawing fouls, so he has a lot of experience.

But this time it was really urgent.

He didn't want to see Chen Yan hit another three-pointer.

But often the more you fear something, the more you get it.

Chen Yan not only drew a foul but also made a three-pointer.

"3+1! Oh my God!" Yang Yi shouted.

"Chen Yan is worthy of being the best 4-point player in the NBA this season. Hitting 4-pointers depends not only on luck, but also on his superb foul-making ability and three-point shooting ability!" Yu Jia started bragging mode.

"After this ball was hit, Chen Yan has already scored 6 three-pointers. He may break the three-point record tonight!" Yang Yi said.

"Shh!"

55:43.

Chen Yan made the extra free throw and returned to the defensive half without looking back.

Chen Yan just wants to win and has no interest in the three-point record in the finals mentioned by the commentator, because the original record was also set by him.
