When he came up, he was pressed down and buckled.

Tim Duncan picked up the ball and looked at Lin Ri hanging on the frame. His eyes were full of his 19-year-old self.

I think back then, who didn’t play basketball on the rim?

However, Tim Duncan - the old background player - is used to being docked.

Over the years, he has been dunked by Carter, LeBron James, and Kobe. But even so, there is still no one with more rings than him. Even leaving Kobe aside, Carter and LeBron James have not always had the same relationship.

Championship ring…

So after Tim Duncan was dunked by Lin Ri, he didn't feel anything at all. Not only did he feel nothing, he also wanted to laugh. He even wanted to say "The future is yours" to Lin Ri after the game.

This is not just casual talk.

In the next round, Tim Duncan made a solid mid-range shot.

It shows the true nature of the "Stone Buddha".

"start running!"

The Suns got one back, but the rhythm didn't stop. Steve Nash shouted, and everyone in the Suns quickly started running after the Spurs players who were retreating.

This time, when the Suns went to the frontcourt, the Spurs failed to establish a successful defensive system.

"Classic Cars" can increase the rhythm, but if it really comes down to athleticism, that's still the flaw of this team.

Steve Nash got into the Spurs' inside very lightly this time, looked back at the moon, and pushed the ball straight into the hands of Lin Ri, who was following up.

Lin Ri soared into the air and completed another dunk.

"Gentry's Tim Duncan" scored 4 points in a row. Popovich was a little anxious. He also said that he would not let Lin Ri get 15 points tonight. With this defense, Lin Ri was probably not going to score 30 points!

He began to roar loudly on the sidelines: "What are you doing? Pay attention to your opponent's position when returning to defense! You only care about whether your landing spot is a special number!"

Popovich was angry, and everyone on the Spurs team was silent, including the substitutes who were sitting on the bench and had not yet played.

Look, this is the control that a famous coach has over the team!

Everyone in the Spurs team was scolded like this. They first scored a goal on the offensive end, and then successfully blocked the Suns' attack on the defensive end.

The Suns lost their first shot of the game.

"It's okay, defend and defend!"

Gentry was also shouting as he retreated, but compared to Popovich's impatience, he seemed very calm.

The Suns have always had a fear of horses. Since entering the 21st century, except for 2000, this team has never defeated the Spurs in the playoffs. The Spurs defeated them every time.

This is a stubborn problem. In addition, most of the Suns' core lineup has changed this season, and the entire Suns team is still in the running-in period. For Gentry, he can accept whatever the outcome of today's game is.

Of course, Lin Ri must perform well. He must prove that he is a super rookie like Tim Duncan.

The Spurs gave the ball to Tim Duncan on the next possession.

In fact, after 2007, the core of the Spurs' offensive end gradually transitioned from Tim Duncan to Tony Parker, especially this season? The purpose of speeding up is to allow Tony Parker to have better space on the offensive end? But at a moment like this

, the Spurs, including Tony Parker, are used to handing the ball over to Tim Duncan.

From 1997 to 2009? Tim Duncan was also used to stepping up when the team needed him to step up.

This time, he was also unambiguous. Holding the ball in a high position, he tested Lin Ri in front of him. Seeing that he was unmoved, he half-turned around and squeezed towards Lin Ri with his back.

Lin Ri's current weight is not much worse than that of Tim Duncan. The 33-year-old Tim Duncan's core strength has also been weakened due to weight loss? This has suddenly reduced the power of his back attack a lot.

"Whoosh!"

But standing at a 45 degree angle? Tim Duncan is "God"

Turning around at a 45-degree angle to play the cricket ball, Tim Duncan was stunned to throw the ball into the basket when Lin's hands covered his eyes.

What the hell!

Lin Ri watched Duncan score and waved his hand sadly.

He really felt pity.

Duncan couldn't squeeze him, he could completely prevent this ball.

Do all superstars have big hearts like this?

The Spurs took the lead after this goal.

Apparently two rounds ago? Lin Ri had just pressed Duncan to complete a putback dunk. The momentum was all on the Suns' side, but unknowingly, the team took back the initiative.

That's how pissy this Spurs team is!

Lin Ri was beaten like this, but he did not choose to ask for the ball.

He is not so swollen that he needs the ball in isolation, especially when he is facing Tim Duncan in this game, and he has "Gibbon" Antonio behind him...

Singles Tim Duncan?

Unless he really just wants to hit the iron.

Lin Ri followed his usual rhythm, wandering between the high and low posts. Steve Nash had just been delayed after the pick-and-roll, so he no longer allowed Lin Ri to go to the high post to pick-and-roll. There were so many people blocking that position, which was not conducive.

The Suns move the ball.

When he reached the high post again, Lin Ri received a pass from Steve Nash.

When he was about to take a direct shot, Antonio pressed in front of him. Together with Tim Duncan, the Spurs' defensive system of double-teaming and forcing turnovers began to officially operate.

However, when Antonio rushed over, Lin looked at the gap and accurately passed the ball to Chris Humphries under the basket.

"Boom!"

Two-handed dunk.

Humphries yelled "nice" and pointed at Lin Ri when he returned to defense. Young man, this can be heard in a few moments.

For inside players, it is not an easy task to pass the pass like Lin Ri just did.

Lin Ri's handwork is pretty good.

Hum!

Lin Ri also reached out to respond to Humphries when he returned to defense.

This pass made Popovich look hard, no, he was stunned.

Is your passing ability so good?

Since entering 2000, the Suns have encountered the Spurs in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2008, and were eliminated by the Spurs all the time.

The Spurs' method of dealing with the Suns was very simple. Block Steve Nash's passing route so that he couldn't pass it. It was very difficult to achieve this, especially in those years when Steve Nash was still at the MVP level, and Popovich even once

There was no defense against Amar'e Stoudemire, and he also had to defend Steve Nash. The result was naturally successful. Even in the 2005 playoffs, Amar'e averaged 37 points per game, and the Suns were even better.

After failing to defeat the Spurs, the Spurs officially became the "sufferer" of this team.

Now this situation makes Popovich frown a little.

If Lin Ri's passing ability is so good, then this game will not be easy to play!

It must be a coincidence, it must be a coincidence...

Popovich muttered something in his mind.

Otherwise, a guy with excellent physical fitness, good shooting, and good passing ability... what a genius!

The Spurs will still defend the Suns in the same way in the next round.

Steve Nash, who was blocked, could only give the ball to Lin Ri again.

Antonio also pounced towards Lin Ri again, but while he pounced, this time he also deliberately paid attention to Humphries' position, perfectly standing in the passing route between Lin Ri and Humphries.

to prevent Lin Ri from passing the ball to Humphries.

This veteran is a veteran. Even though his health is not good, he can still rely on experience to play.

When he completely pounced on Lin Ri, he also completely lost the chance to pass the ball inside.

Popovich breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, I just touched...

"Whoosh!"

But just as Popovich breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Ri suddenly passed the ball to the three-point line on the right.

Um?

Popovich's little eyes flashed with confusion.

He quickly looked towards where Lin Ri passed the ball, where Ariza ran out of space and just caught the ball.

"Bang!"

call!

Fortunately I didn't get in.

Popovich just felt his heart being pinched severely.
