NBA's Super Troublemaker

Chapter 74 GDP, all three of you come at me together!

Bruce Bowen's departure became a major variable in this game.

The Spurs had no choice but to bring in Devin Brown early to match up against Li He.

Devin Brown has excellent physical attributes and can play the role of a swingman, but as soon as he stepped onto the court, he was almost faked out by Li He's dribbling.

The Trail Blazers went on an 8-0 run to take the lead.

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers led the Spurs 22-17.

At this time, Popovich also adjusted the defensive arrangements.

Bruce Bowen's departure caused problems for the team in limiting Hansen Lee, but such players are not unstoppable.

The double-team is Popovich's second card.

The Cavaliers' double-teaming was merely a formality; Ricky Davis's defense was poor, and the team's overall rotation was insufficient.

However, the Spurs' overall defense is much better than that of other teams.

As of now, the Spurs rank 3rd in the league in points allowed per game, 3rd in defensive efficiency, 2nd in defensive opponent field goal percentage, and 5th in defensive rebounds, making them a top-tier defensive team.

At the start of the second quarter, the Spurs applied significant defensive pressure.

This resulted in the Trail Blazers scoring only 4 points in the first 4 minutes of the second quarter.

Seeing that the Spurs were closing in, Coach Morris quickly substituted Li He into the game.

The Spurs' defensive strategy was officially implemented at this moment.

Devin Brown focused all his attention on defending Li He. Whenever Li He tried to break into the paint, Tim Duncan's sweeping, covering defense would come to his door and limit him.

In other teams, the ball handler is more likely to make a mistake when passing the ball under defensive pressure.

However, Li He's ball control skills far exceeded Popovich's expectations.

With his superb dribbling skills, he moves like an elf on the court, making no mistakes while also assisting his teammates to score.

At halftime, the Trail Blazers still held the advantage, leading 46-39.

In the third quarter, Randolph, who has shown significant improvement this season, repeatedly scored in the paint, pushing the point difference to over 10 points.

At the crucial moment, Manu Ginobili stepped up.

He first hit a three-pointer from the outside, then broke into the paint and scored a 2+1, and then drew an offensive foul from the squirrel on the next possession.

The situation took an instant turn, and the Spurs launched a counterattack.

"Manu's style is truly unique; he always manages to score these incredible goals!"

"The Spurs are on the rise!"

"How should the Trail Blazers respond?"

"Hansen Lee is calling for the ball on the perimeter, signaling to go one-on-one against Manu!"

"Cross-direction, drop shot, step-back three-pointer!"

"Wooooo...!"

"Hanson Lee hits a three-pointer!"

"This is the ball that stopped the bleeding!"

Once Ginobili got into his rhythm, he even forgot about tactics in positional play, simply asking for a screen and driving in.

He is the only one in the disciplined Spurs team with this "privilege" because no matter how much Popovich scolds him, Ginobili will still do it in the next game.

He accelerates towards the basket and takes a shot at the last second!

pity.

A figure descended from the sky, delivering a nail-studded hat directly to him!

"Hansen Lee blocked Manu Ginobili's shot!"

"In this defensive play, Hansen Lee completely abandoned Devin Brown, but it's clear he made the right gamble!"

"But! Tim Duncan grabbed the rebound!"

"Tim Duncan attempted to finish Zach Randolph with a small hook shot!"

"Oh... what happened on the field!"

"It's Hansen Lee again! He's like he has springs in his feet, jumping up quickly to disrupt Tim Duncan's offense. It looks like another block!"

"Rasheed Wallace grabbed the rebound!"

"Hansen Lee still has the strength to fight back!"

"He's like Superman!"

Inside the SBC Arena.

Spurs fans were stunned by Li He's series of moves.

This guy...

Putting aside the act of getting Bruce Bowen off the court, his performance on the field was indeed "outrageous"!

But Li He's performance went far beyond that.

After receiving a pass from Wallace, Li He dribbled past Devin Brown with a push, leading his team to launch a counterattack.

Tony Parker immediately ran over to Li He.

Parker, who is 1.88 meters tall, plays an important role in the Spurs' defensive system.

That is to use speed advantage to slow down the opponent's advance with the ball, thereby effectively reducing the opponent's chance to launch a fast attack.

Just as Parker stepped forward to interfere, Li He used a beautiful behind-the-back dribble to completely bypass Tony Parker!

He leaped, pulled up, and slammed the ball down!

"God! Hansen Lee! He finished with a powerful backcourt dunk!"

"This is definitely a shoo-in for the top ten plays of the week! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it number one!"

"Blocks Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan! Gets past Tony Parker and finishes the game!"

"He single-handedly took on the Spurs' Big Three!"

"Hanson Lee is simply beyond words!"

"Give him time, and he will definitely become a superstar!"

Li He's shot was absolutely brilliant, leaving the Spurs players feeling helpless.

Popovich stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, looking displeased.

He couldn't accept that Hansen Lee had gotten Bowen out of the game and was playing so arrogantly at the SBC Arena!

Just then, Li He happened to see Popovich talking to Robert Horry.

After Popovich finished speaking, he turned his head and met Li He's gaze. The two looked at each other.

immediately.

Li He turned his gaze to Tim Duncan, stared at him for a while, and then looked back at Popovich.

The astute Popovich immediately understood and abandoned the idea of ​​bringing Robert Horry into the game.

Adults don't need much communication; those who understand, understand.

Li He's meaning was very clear: if you dare to go to Horry and hurt someone, then Duncan won't even be able to save Jesus.

As for fighting and conflicts, those are the Trail Blazers' strengths.

The Spurs are on a roll and are definitely aiming for the championship.

The Trail Blazers are a complete mess, what are you going to be afraid of?

The match continued.

Li He's performance in suppressing GDP in a single round gave the Trail Blazers a strong boost.

Zach Randolph took over the game, scoring repeatedly. In the end, Duncan couldn't defend him one-on-one and even had to ask Devin Brown to help defend. The hot-handed Randolph was still able to finish the game.

This is a matter of tactical restraint.

Randolph's jumping ability was mediocre, but his technique was relatively refined, and he had a soft touch. He was also strong in physical confrontations, and his standard ground-based style of play left Duncan helpless.

The Trail Blazers maintained a lead of around 10 points throughout the game, dominating the Spurs.

Ultimately, the Trail Blazers defeated the Spurs 91-83.

They secured their third victory in a five-game away trip!

After the game, Popovich, looking furious, shook hands with Maurice Cheeks in a perfunctory manner and then walked back to the locker room without saying a word.

He must condemn Hansen Lee in front of reporters and the media, saying that a player like him should not be in the game at all!
