This is also the main reason why Patty Matthews can stay in the Spurs rotation team for a long time.

Defense is really important.

"He may not be as fast as you, but one thing you need to know is that he is very persistent and has a lot of defensive moves. You must avoid being entangled by him," D'Antoni said.

"I'll pay attention to that." Wang Fei nodded.

On that morning, after the Spurs' pre war mobilization meeting, coach Popovich accepted an exclusive interview with ESPN.

In the interview, Popovich said: "Compared with the Rockets, the Spurs are a relatively weak team. However, the Rockets also have their destiny. The Rockets rely too much on Wang. It can also be said that the current rockets are almost Wang's team. As long as they can limit Wang, more than half of the Rockets' offensive fire will be extinguished! I believe we have the ability to prevent Wang and make him unable to play his speed Advantage! In tonight's game, we have only one goal, that is to win! "

The reporter asked, "can you tell me about your specific strategy of defending Wang?"

Popovich smiled mysteriously: "this must not reveal any news in advance. However, the game will start soon, and you will soon see how my strategy is implemented on the field!"

Wang Fei saw Popovich's interview on the way of the Rockets bus to Toyota Center.

"Wang, it seems that Popovich is confident. Does he really have any good way to limit you?" Gary Clark said.

"Who knows? Maybe he will make some arrangements, but I don't believe his method can really work." Wang Fei said with a smile.

"I think so too! In the regular season, we haven't played against the Spurs, and Popovich doesn't have any good way to limit your play. They lost to us by big scores in several games against us," said Gary Clark.

"So, don't care what he said. We just have to play well!" Wang Fei said with a smile.

same evening.

Toyota Center Stadium.

The game will start at 7:40 p.m.

Tonight's game is the first game in the Western semi-finals.

Because one side of the game is the high-profile rocket team led by Wang Fei, basketball fans all over the world almost focus on the Toyota Center.

Before the game.

Popovich's face was calm. He looked at his players, smiled and said: "Guys, let's do a big thing tonight! Almost everyone is not optimistic about us. They think we will be defeated by the rockets and we will stop in the Western semi-finals. However, I am an old man who doesn't believe in evil. I don't believe we will fail! In my dictionary, there has never been the word failure! It's still that sentence, we have no way back, we have no way back We must move forward! Victory will belong to us! Come on! "

This speech made the spurs a little excited.

"We will win!"

"Mother Gant!"

Spurs players are rubbing their hands as they walk onto the court.

On the Rockets side, D'Antoni said nothing special. He just said, "come on, my children!"

Wang Fei smiled. As soon as he waved, the Rockets players followed him and walked to the court.

It's still Wang Fei's jump ball.

His opponent is the Spurs center LaMarcus Aldrich.

Aldrich is also a long-standing star.

He has been playing for the Blazers and is the leading star of the Blazers.

However, Aldrich hasn't even entered the West for many years, which is the main reason why he chose to join the Spurs as a free agent after his contract expires in 2015.

Aldrich is eager to win the championship.

In 2014, the Spurs won the championship.

The Spurs have the strength to compete for the championship.

Therefore, Aldrich chose to join the Spurs and sprint towards the championship.

Unfortunately, when Aldrich joined the Spurs, the GDP portfolio was old and the warriors began to rise.

The rise of warriors marks the official opening of the NBA small ball era.

So far, Aldrich has entered a Western showdown with the Spurs in 2017. That time, they almost overturned the warriors.

Unfortunately, they fought hard with the warriors for seven games, but Kawaii was hurt by Zaza, and finally stopped in the West and failed to enter the finals.

Aldrich stood opposite Wang Fei.

He is carefully looking at this hot and prosperous Chinese boy.

He is not tall.

He is ugly.

He has no iron muscles.

He has no sharp edge.

But it's this guy who scares all the NBA teams!

He even got an amazing 261 points in just four games in the playoff series with the Clippers!

This is really incredible.

Wang Fei is also watching Aldrich.

Aldrich can also be regarded as an old NBA superstar.

He joined the NBA as the No. 1 player in 2006 and became famous in the pioneers.

At that time, Wang Fei also saw many competitions of Aldrich, and Wang Fei was very familiar with Aldrich.

This 2.11M big man, his playing method is very delicate, he has a high basketball IQ, his basketball skills are very solid, the means of attack are very diverse, and he is also good at organizing and passing the ball.

This is a big guy with outstanding personal ability and team consciousness.

Wang Fei appreciates him very much.

"Hello, LaMarcus!" Wang Fei smiled and nodded to Aldrich.

"You too!"

Aldrich didn't expect Wang Fei to talk to him, but his response was also very appropriate.

"Di -"

The referee blew his whistle.

His hand soared into the sky.

The ball rose into the sky.

Aldrich reacted very quickly. He jumped up and ran towards the leather racket.

However, before his hand touched the ball, he saw the shadow flash in front of him.

"Bang!"

The ball was shot by Wang Fei first.

Zhou Qi grabbed the ball into his own hand.

Spurs forward Rudy guy, who was ambushed in the Rockets lineup, came to grab the ball.

As soon as Zhou Qi turned his back, he blocked Rudy guy behind him.

Wang Fei was one step ahead of Aldrich, fell from the air and ran towards Zhou Qi.

As soon as Wang Fei landed, spurs guard Patty mills, who was responsible for defending him, rushed over.

With a flash of his body, Wang Fei threw mills away.

He took a step and Zhou Qi passed the ball to Wang Fei.

Mills also jumped in front of Wang Fei and put on a defensive posture.

Wang Fei blinked.

Patty mills is really not slow.

He paused a little and was caught up.

Wang Fei patted the ball. As soon as he accelerated, he was about to jump over Patty mills.

Mills hurriedly moved his steps, trying to block Wang Fei's way.

However, under Wang Fei's full acceleration, mills was still so slow.

He blocked an empty space in this gear.

However, drozan stood in front of Wang Fei again.

Drozan didn't dare to get too close to Wang Fei. He moved his feet and looked at Wang Fei with vigilance.

As soon as Wang Fei hesitated, Patty mills caught up. Mills rushed over in one step and was about to steal Wang Fei's ball from behind.

Wang Fei changed direction and avoided mills' steals. Taking advantage of the situation, Wang Fei accelerated and rushed towards drozan.

Drozan put on a good posture and waited for Wang Fei to hit him.

In that case, Wang Fei is hitting people with the ball.

However, drozan never dreamed that Wang Fei accelerated and changed direction. Before hitting drozan, he "Shua" from the other side and walked around.

Patty mills is still chasing.

He felt that his heart was about to jump out of his mouth. He was sweating all over because of the violent burst of running.

It's only a step away.

It seems that you can reach Wang Fei as long as you reach out.

However, just this step away, mills still couldn't catch up.

Wang Fei accelerated again. Mills found that the distance between himself and Wang Fei was suddenly pulled to more than two meters.

Besides, drozan didn't stop Wang Fei. He didn't stop at all. He turned around and began to chase.

But the distance between him and Wang Fei is farther.

It's late, it's fast.

Wang Fei came to the Spurs outside the three-point line in more than two seconds.

Rudy guy came out quickly.

"Ding!"

At this time, Wang Fei heard a prompt sound in his head.

"Dear host! You triggered the first task of this game, completing three four-point attacks! And be sure that each attack is very wonderful."

Let yourself finish the task of giving four points?

Give four points. That's not so easy.

In particular, the Spurs are a team with excellent technical and tactical quality.

They can't play without brains at all.

But now that the task has been released, we have to implement it.

Wang Fei could have jumped up and shot at the moment.

But in order to create a four point chance, Wang Fei had to pause outside the three-point line.

That's the stop. Rudy guy is already in front of him.

In the back, Patty mills also came behind Wang Fei.

Rudy guy is 2.03 meters tall and has a strong athletic talent. He didn't dare to get too close to Wang Fei. He was worried that Wang Fei would break through himself.

He just raised his arms and put on a defensive posture.

He is ready to jump up and defend Wang Fei's three-point ball at any time.

At this time, Patty mills watched Wang Fei's racket move slowly and didn't seem to find him behind his back.

Mills decided to take a risk.

He rushed behind Wang Fei and pushed the ball towards Wang Fei.

Wang Feixin said, waiting for you.

Wang Fei shifted the ball to his left hand, and the right hand dribble became the left hand dribble.

"Pa!"

Patty mills couldn't stop. This time, he hit Wang Fei on the back of his right hand.

Almost at the same time, Wang Fei grabbed the ball with his left hand and jumped up.

Although his hand is very small, the ball is like sticking to his hand and won't fall at all.

When Wang Fei jumped up in the air, the referee's whistle had sounded.

Rudy guy also jumped high to block Wang Fei's shooting route.

Wang Feiren was in the air. With a cushion step and a twist of his waist, he moved nearly a meter from Rudy guy's front to the left.

"Wow!"

On the stands, the fans who saw this scene all made a cry of surprise.

It's very difficult to move your body in the air and almost jump vertically.
