Chapter 174, Zhou Hang, the superstar in the free market.
"Beep beep!!"
When the two fell to the ground, the referee still blew his whistle.
In the end, the referee whistled Ginobili's full responsibility, and Zhou Hang made another foul for Ginobili.
Watching this scene appear in front of his eyes, Duncan's view of basketball was greatly impacted.
It's true that the two collided, but the two were too exaggerated, right?
Is this better than whose acting skills?
After Duncan stayed for a while, he also understood what happened. Without any expression, he stretched out his hand to pull Ginobili up.
"Haha, Zhou Hang and Ginobili can't be ashamed when they face off."
"Zhou Hang is awesome, playing Ginobili."
"Zhou Hang also made it clear that it was a response to Ginobili."
"Zhou Hang is just tough, usually very hard, but he is soft when he should be soft."
After watching the replay, the fans understood as well as Duncan.
After Zhou Hang stood up, he applauded Ginobili and said, "Whatever you want to play, I will accompany you!"
Ginobili's face was very indifferent, he didn't expect this rookie to be so difficult to deal with.
Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "Zhou Hang's ball is smart, Ginobili has fouled three times now, he needs to pay more attention to defensive moves."
Xu Jicheng said: "Zhou Hang himself has to be careful, he also committed two fouls."
After the first half, it was time for Zhou Hang and Ginobili to perform.
The two fell to the ground in various ways, acting.
The referee may not call a foul, but the two played it when they were facing each other.
At the home stadium of Staples, the home fans were very supportive of Zhou Hang, cheering and shouting one by one.
However, the result of this was that both Zhou Hang and Ginobili received four fouls, and both of them were replaced by the head coach.
The first half was over quickly, and the score became 57 to 60.
The Lakers took a 3-point lead.
Without Ginobili as the starting point of the offense, the Spurs' strength has obviously declined faster.
After returning to the locker room, Zen Master just told Zhou Hang to pay attention to the number of fouls, and then didn't say much.
Zhou Hang is also very important to the Lakers, and Zen Master doesn't want Zhou Hang to sit off the court all the time.
In the second half of the game, the two teams changed sides and fought again.
Both Zhou Hang and Ginobili had a tacit understanding and did not continue to spoil the atmosphere. The game went on normally.
Zhou Hang became the anchor point of the Lakers, focusing on Kobe.
Kobe did say he was the Spurs nemesis.
Before this year, the Lakers and Spurs had tried to meet in the playoffs for 4 consecutive years. The Spurs were basically the same group of people, and they knew Kobe very well.
But understanding is understanding, and whether it can be prevented is another matter.
Kobe's mid-range jumper was unstoppable for the Spurs. Bowen tried to step up Kobe, but Kobe avoided it with experience.
Kobe was too aware of Bowen's methods.
Zhou Hang's game feel in this quarter is also average, 5 of 1 shots, Ginobili's side is similar, he shot 7 of 2 shots.
There were also some conflicts between the two teams in this quarter. The skier and Robert Horry had a hug and fell, and they each received technical fouls.
The atmosphere between the two sides has become very delicate, and conflicts may occur at any time.
At the end of the third quarter, Duncan scored 2+1 consecutive inside to help the Spurs take the advantage.
After three quarters, the score was 80 to 76, and the Spurs led away by 4 points.
The stability of Parker and Duncan gave them an advantage, but the Lakers still felt that they were not in the rhythm of the game. Compared with the state of the previous two rounds, there was a big gap.
Zhou Hang scored 26 points in the first three quarters, but most of his points were scored in the first half. In the second half, he was limited by fouls, and his overall performance was a bit confusing.
Ginobili is similar, he and Zhou Hang are afraid of each other.
Barkley said: "Now it seems that if Zhou Hang's offensive firepower weakens, it will have a greater impact on the Lakers."
Smith said: "Yes, the Spurs are team basketball, and the Lakers are more like superstar basketball."
Barkley said: "The Lakers need to change the situation on the court as soon as possible. Except for Kobe and Zhou Hang, the rest of the Lakers did not perform very well. Kobe's explosion in the third quarter is the key to the Lakers' ability to bite the score. Of course, Zhou Hang restrained Ginobili and kept the situation of the Lakers from getting worse."
Smith said: "Duncan is still so stable, no matter how Kobe scores, he just plays very calmly."
Break between festivals.
Kobe was gasping for breath off the court, while Zhou Hang was drinking water with his head up.
chicago.
General manager Parks and executive Foreman are chatting about the operation of this summer.
Originally, both of them thought that the Bulls would continue to play badly this year.
However, in this year's draft lottery ceremony, the Bulls, who had only a 1.7% chance of winning the "No. -Beasley's one-of-two chance, while the Heat, which has the highest chance of winning the No. 25 pick at 13.8 percent, has the No. [-] pick, and the Timberwolves ([-] percent) have the No. [-] pick
The Bulls are lucky to the extreme!
Whether it is Rose or Beasley, the Bulls can quickly rebuild around the two.
Bulls general manager John Paxson retired in 1994. He served as the Bulls assistant coach in the 95-96 season, and then served as the Bulls radio and TV announcer until April 2003, 4. He was hired by the Bulls As the new general manager and executive vice president of the basketball department, succeeding Jerry Krause who suddenly announced his resignation due to health reasons.
As the general manager, Paxson is very good at his job. In the last few drafts, he used four first-round picks to pick Hinrich, Gordon, Deng and Tyrus Thomas. Facts have proved that These picks are good.
The current Bulls are a fringe team in the playoffs. As long as they select a potential rookie in the summer and recruit an All-Star player, their reconstruction will be considered complete.
Paxson can't wait for the summer free market to start.
Foreman said: "There are not many big names in the free market this year, and there will be a lot of big fish this time next year."
In 09, many big-name players faced contract renewal issues, such as James, Stoudemire, Wade, Bosh, Joe Johnson, Kobe, Yao Ming and so on.
But in 08, there were very few.
Paxson pointed to Zhou Hang on the big screen and said, "I remember that Zhou only signed a one-year contract. Is it possible for Zhou to be recruited?"
Suddenly, the commentator on the TV burst into a roar: "Zhou broke out in the fourth quarter. He faced Ginobili and hit three consecutive step-back three-pointers. He led the Lakers to overtake the score. He is an NBA player. The best rookie in history to shoot three pointers!!"
"The game has reached the last 5 minutes, and the two sides have entered the decisive moment!!"
Foreman said: "Zhou Hang is not a completely free agent. The Lakers can forcibly keep him. The Lakers will not give up such a potential player."
Paxson said with a smile: "The contract is not a big issue, the main thing is does he want to play next to Kobe? Hey, the Lakers can't give him more team status, we can do it here."
Foreman said, "Can you talk to him?"
Paxson said: "Yes, if he is willing to join us, we can let him put pressure on the Lakers management, and we will give a certain bargaining chip, so it is still possible to get him."
Foreman thought for a while and said, "Well, you can definitely try."
Paxson said: "Zhou is more valuable than the No. [-] pick. As long as he is willing to come, we can build a team around him."
"There's no question about that," Foreman said.
Similar poaching operations have appeared in many team executive meetings.
Zhou Hang has already proved his worth with his strength, he is a favorite in the free market in summer!
At this time, at the Staples Center, G1 of the Western Conference Finals has entered the final battle!
After Zhou Hang took three consecutive steps back and overtook the score with three-pointers, the Spurs quickly regained their lead.
Neither side could widen the gap.
The time quickly entered the last 2 minutes.
In this game, the mental outlook shown by the Lakers is that they are not ready to play in the Western Conference Finals.
The long rest time makes everyone very slow to enter the game.
It was Kobe and Zhou Hang who were dragging the team along.
After the two teams entered the fourth quarter, the scoring efficiency dropped sharply, and the sound of iron strikes kept coming and going in the Staples Arena.
The Lakers and Spurs have changed from the initial offensive duel to the current defensive duel.
96:93.
The Lakers still trailed by 3 points at the last moment.
Both sides are on the field in the starting lineup.
Zhou Hang held the ball on the left side, he was panting, Ginobili defended Zhou Hang.
Ginobili no longer dared to attack Zhou Hang rashly. He lowered his center of gravity and tried his best to ensure that he would not lose his defensive position.
The critical moment for the Lakers was either Zhou Hang's singles or Kobe's singles.
Now that the ball is in Zhou Hang's hands, it's Zhou Hang's main singles.
Facing Ginobili.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball continuously under his crotch.
Zhou Hang's crotch dribble attack method seems to have only two types of retreat and breakthrough.
But these two are enough, which makes Zhou Hang's attack very strong.
After Zhou Hang changed direction continuously, he chose a horizontal retreat to go beyond the three-point line.
The principle of Zhou Hang's horizontal retreat step is similar to that of the backward step, but the direction is different.
Zhou Hang staggered Ginobili's rhythm and shot a three-pointer.
The basketball draws a wonderful arc! !
"Shh!"
Through the heart into the net!
96:96.
This three-pointer is Zhou Hang's tenth three-pointer tonight, and Zhou Hang made four in a single quarter in the fourth quarter.
Ginobili looked at Zhou Hang helplessly. He had tried his best to defend, but he just couldn't.
Zhou Hang's scoring ability is very strong, but the scoring method is completely different from Kobe's.
Kobe relies heavily on two-pointers and free throws, while Zhou Hang mainly scores three-pointers except when he touches porcelain.
This kind of three-pointer is not an ordinary catch-and-shoot three-pointer, but a three-pointer pulled up from the dribble.
Such a three-pointer is difficult to prevent.
After the score was overtaken, Popovich roared from the side: "Steady, don't panic, give the ball inside."
Duncan is the Spurs' pinnacle of stability. As long as he is on the court, everything for the Spurs will look stable.
Parker dribbles forward, and Zhou Hang marks Parker.
Zhou Hang's defensive ability is very strong, and Parker dare not relax any more.
After Parker came to the frontcourt, he wanted to change direction to pass Zhou Hang, but Zhou Hang moved quickly and blocked Parker.
Parker's first attack failed.
Parker dribbled back and quickly lobbed the ball to Duncan inside.
Duncan holds the ball high on the right.
Gasol puts his heart on defense, Duncan has a lot of inside singles, Gasol is very afraid.
After the tentative step, Duncan chose a 45-degree rebound shot.
Gasol struggled to jump up, but failed to complete the block.
"boom!"
"Shh!"
The rebound rebounds into the basket after being hit.
98:96.
Compared with throwing hollow balls, you need to have a very soft touch. Obviously, you don’t need to throw this kind of cricket. As long as the angle and strength are enough, the basketball can fall into the basket.
This is also Duncan's unique skill.
Duncan didn't use this trick much today, and Zhou Hang thought it was awesome when he saw it.
The Lakers' offense is back.
Zhou Hang dribbled the ball to the frontcourt.
The time has entered the last minute.
Ginobili still marks Zhou Hang, and Kobe has been entangled by Bowen.
Kobe tried to get rid of Bowen to find space to receive the ball, but Bowen never let Kobe catch the ball.
Although Zhou Hang is in good condition, the Spurs still don't want Zhou Hang to give the ball to Kobe.
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Bowen, Kobe simply stopped running and signaled Zhou Hang to fight by himself.
Kobe could barely catch the ball, but he didn't think it was necessary.
He is not as sure of facing Bowen as Zhou Hang is facing Ginobili.
Zhou Hang's four step-back three-pointers in the fourth quarter made Kobe feel very reliable.
Zhou Hang took the ball to the left corner, with his back facing Ginobili.
Zhou Hang's back has an absolute advantage, and he is trying to see if he can attack in another way.
It is impossible to use the retreat step all the time, as the opponent adapts to the rhythm and there will be strong interference.
Ginobili's center of gravity sank, guarding against Zhou Hang's direct turn.
Zhou Hang leaned on Ginobili and started back hitting the free throw line.
"boom!"
"boom!"
Zhou Hang hit Ginobili continuously, and then found his defensive loopholes, using his body as the axis to complete the turn and explode!
Duncan immediately came up to help defend Zhou Hang, his long arms spread over Zhou Hang, Zhou Hang sent the ball to the sky, and then gave the ball to Kobe on the other side who used Gasol to get rid of the inside cut!
Kobe soared into the air, caught Zhou Hang's pass with one hand and smashed it directly into the basket! !
"frame!"
Air Relay.
98:98.
The score was tied again!
"Brilliant!!"
"Zhou Hang successfully connected with Kobe again."
"Zhou Hang is really calm playing point guard."
"Zhou Hang slammed Fisher to death on the bench."
"incredible."
Zhou Hang gave Kobe a high-five to celebrate.
This is why Kobe trusts Zhou Hang, Zhou Hang will always choose the most appropriate way to help the team.
On the field.
The Spurs team is still very calm.
Parker went to the frontcourt to organize tactics.
The intensity of the Lakers was brought up again, and every player was following the defender.
The Spurs did not choose to press time.
Parker directly initiates a pick-and-roll with Duncan.
After the pick-and-roll, Duncan went straight, and Parker lobbed the ball to Duncan.
Gasol didn't lose his defensive position, he slowed down Duncan.
This gave Zhou Hang a chance to assist in the defense.
"Snapped!"
Zhou Hang rushed over, caught the moment when Duncan received the ball, and successfully cut the ball!
The basketball flew out, and Kobe fell to the ground to save the ball! !
Kobe called a timeout immediately after embracing the ball.
The Spurs player's chance to scrimmage the ball was unsuccessful.
Kobe has a lot of experience.
Staples fans cheered excitedly.
After Kobe and Gasol stood up, they also slapped the back of Zhou Hang's head and back.
"Zhou, the cut is beautiful!"
"Co-defense is wonderful."
"That's how to defend."
Zhou Hang's defense was unanimously praised by the Lakers.
This defense is too critical.
In 22 seconds, the score was tied, and the ball was on the Lakers' side!
At the critical moment, Zhou Hang helped the Lakers regain the initiative!
Zhou Hang not only created threats on the offensive end, but also contributed to the defensive end.
Duncan watched the replay and shook his head helplessly. Zhou Hang's cut was too timing, and he rushed out of his blind spot, leaving him no time to react.
Zhou Hang's cut was very clean and beautiful, and Duncan couldn't find any faults.
Zhang Weiping said: "In addition to his personal scoring, Zhou Hang's organization and defense are also the reasons why he is different from many scoring players."
Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, if you only look at offense, Zhou Hang is an All-Star level, but if you add passing and defense, Zhou Hang is almost like a superstar."
