Chapter 310: Spear and Shield
Kawhi Leonard, who entered the NBA Draft in 2011 and has been trained by the Spurs for four years, has now become a core player who can play on his own.
Speaking of some similarities with Tang Shuai, Leonard was also selected with the 15th pick and then traded, and the trade partners were the sixth man of the opposing team, and the Spurs gave the chip George Hill, Hill performed well in the Spurs, and caused much more controversy at the time than Tang Shuai's trade.
However, the Spurs' general manager has proven to be a discerning player, and Leonard is now an excellent offensive and defensive core player, and his calm personality is at least eight like Duncan's.
Wave. Povich is also very fond of Leonard, and it can be seen from the strict control of playing time that he hopes to develop Leonard into a long-term cornerstone player for a team like Duncan, but now Tang Shuai's perverted performance has made him unable to sit still.
A rookie on the Spurs' home court is already about the team's face.
"Wave. Bo finally asked Ke Huai to guard against Tang, and now he could freeze his hot and hot touch. Elliott was finally relieved to see Leonard play.
"Damn the wave. Bo always likes to let us watch a suspense drama. Barry also laughed and teased.
The Spurs' offense, Jordan Jr. was whistled for a foul while defending Aldridge, and the game went into dead-ball time.
Taking advantage of this point in time, Leonard came on to replace Mills.
Ginobili plays point guard and looks like Bo. Povich is determined to defend against Tang Shuai.
Of course, Tang Shuai also knows this, because he did not directly oppose Leonard before. He didn't bother to look at Leonard's skill set, and this was when alignment was inevitable. Naturally, he used the packing system to scan it.
Deathcoil Defensive Pack: An orange exclusive defensive pack that restricts players with an exclusive Offensive Skill Pack in the same position. Reduces its shooting rate by 3%~5% and has a 20% chance of completing steals, and can lock players in the same position with less than the exclusive offensive pack, so that its shooting rate decreases by 5%~15%, and has a 40% chance of completing steals.
Kawaii Mid-Shot Pack: Orange Exclusive Mid-Range Pack, with a 90% shooting rate when undefended, and a 55% shooting rate when facing a normal strength defense. 45% shooting percentage against high-intensity defenses.
The two orange exclusive skill packs, in addition to the triple pack, the power pack, the breakout pack and the back pack are also purple, in terms of strength, this is a trumpet James who is slightly inferior in ability, and is extremely deterrent on the defensive end.
Leonard contributed as soon as he came up, catching the ball and hitting a high mid-range jumper against Pierce's defense.
Seeing Leonard, Tang Shuai didn't feel the pressure. On the contrary, there was a burst of uncontrollable excitement.
Although the ability of a single consumption pack is a one-time one, he is curious to know how strong this ability is, and Leonard is the best defender in the league, and he is still very old. He is definitely the strongest on the defensive end.
Just like the spear and shield that the Chu man held in his hand at the beginning, he wanted to know. Is his spear sharp now, or Leonard's shield is hard?
No personnel changes were made in Kassel. He looked at the field with his chin in his hand, and he seemed to think of the answer to the question.
Clippers' offensive round. Tang Shuai held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt.
As expected, Leonard immediately appeared at the top of the arc, and his height of two meters pressed against him at once.
Half of Leonard's deterrent power on the defensive end comes from his long arms, and when this pressure comes up, Tang Shuai has to be very careful about possible steals.
“defense!”
The fans at the scene spontaneously shouted.
Tang Shuai also became serious, swayed with a cross step, and rushed forward with a sudden acceleration.
Leonard quickly stepped back, and immediately retreated to the route he had broken through, and his hands pressed forward, and there was an invisible defensive pressure.
Leonard is one of the few defensive players in the league who is good defensively and rarely moves small.
Tang Shuai didn't succeed in breaking through, so he leaned on Leonard's body and tried to press in.
Soon, he found that this would not work, Leonard was not inferior to him in strength, and he was more than 10 centimeters taller than him, even if it was an exclusive level of back hitting ability, he could not bargain for anything.
Two attempts failed, and he had to turn around.
"Nice defense! Kehuai is an iron gate! Elliott couldn't help but shout excitedly when he saw Leonard restraining Tang Shuai.
"This suspense drama should be at the end of the show." Barry also said with a smile.
"Let's change to the main player." Billups suggested to Casser at this time, and he also saw that Tang Shuai could not take advantage of Leonard.
"Wait." Kassel saw that Tang Shuai was still trying, and said without looking back.
Tang Shuai did not give up, and the native American players are a little different in that he is not so keen on one-on-one in American basketball, and he has a high ball quotient, after realizing that he does not take too much advantage of Leonard, he immediately holds the ball to the outside, and then beckons Jordan Jr. to pick it up to block it.
His teammates are another big addition to his attack.
Leonard has a very high sense of defense and squeezed through it early after sensing that Jordan Jr. was going to come up to block the pick-and-roll.
Tang Shuai saw the opportunity, and just as Leonard was trying to squeeze up in front of Jordan Jr., he suddenly threw the ball coldly into the lower right corner.
This pass came as a surprise to everyone, and even Leonard didn't react at all.
Because of Tang Shuai's outstanding performance on the offensive end before, even if Leonard is defending Tang Shuai at this time, the defensive focus of the entire Spurs team is on him.
However, no one noticed that as soon as Aldridge came out, coupled with Dio, who was originally pulled out by Jordan Jr., there was an extremely rare gap in the Spurs' interior line.
But Tang Shuai noticed.
Having been coached by both Paul and Billups, he has a much higher sense of opportunity than he did when he first entered the league, and this time, he passed the ball with a shake of his hand.
More speed, more precise angles, more advance passes.
Mr. Key's passing bag is already a purple skill pack, and after the ability is improved, the ability is comparable to Paul's exclusive skill pack, and the ghostly pass is in Griffin's hands at once.
In this battle between spear and shield, the shield had the upper hand, but Tang Shuai took a different approach, he bent himself into a bow and turned his teammates into sharp arrows.
Griffin is clearly the most lethal one. (To be continued.) )
