During the warm-up phase of the two teams, Chi Liang specially approached Duncan. In the 8-to-4 match of "March Crazy" last year, Duncan went to the scene to cheer for Wake Forest.

After winning that game, the two had preliminary communication and exchanged contact information. In the future, Chi Liang was able to get the Spurs' trial invitation, and Duncan made a contribution.

"Senior, long time no see, how are you doing recently?" In order to show your closeness, Chi Liang has always called Duncan Duncan as his senior.

Duncan is nicknamed "Spurs Stone Tower". As for "Mr. Great Basic Skills" and "Stone Buddha", the former is given by O'Neal, while the latter is given by Chinese fans.

"Not very good, the record is similar to your Nuggets, and it has not met my psychological expectations!"

While talking, Duncan smiled strangely. Like the Nuggets, the Spurs also experienced 17 games, but only achieved a record of 9 wins and 8 losses.

For Spurs players, with their strength, they should achieve better results.

Duncan paused and continued, "But your performance was beyond my expectations. Perhaps the future of this alliance will be yours!"

After saying that, Duncan stretched out his right hand and wanted to touch Chi Liang's head.

"Senior, you are so polite!"

Chi Liang hurriedly took a step back and avoided Duncan's head-touching kill. He didn't want to be bald. His expression was solemn. Unexpectedly, Duncan used his trick just shortly after the exchange, and there were two.

Duncan didn't mind Chi Liang's actions, and then changed his mind, "But we will win this game!"

"This is not necessarily true!"

Neither of them talked a lot. After a few words, Chi Liang returned to the Nuggets' warm-up field, picked up a basketball and started shooting.

Swish~swish~swish~

“It feels very good today!”

He made several three-pointers in a row, and each time he was hollowed into the net, indicating that his hand felt hot.

In addition, whenever Chi Liang thought about playing against Duncan, he felt full of strength. This Wake Forest internal battle undoubtedly ignited the fighting spirit of the two.

In a word, he is in excellent condition.

However, if you want to defeat the Spurs, your teammates' state is also very important. Even if he is in full swing, if his teammates' shooting rate is still the same as in the previous game, it would be too bad.

I have to say that in addition to home advantage, the Nuggets have other advantages. The Spurs just experienced a game last night, and the Nuggets are their back-to-back opponents.

Not long after, under the referee's instructions, the starters of both sides took off their coats and began to walk onto the court.

Billups has not recovered yet, so the Nuggets have sent out the following rosters: Clark, McDyce, Chi Liang, Stich and Alexander.

In order to increase the height of the inside, Fordson could only be a substitute.

Spurs starting lineup

Center: David Robinson

Power Forward: Tim Duncan

Small Forward: Sean Elliott

Scoring Guard: Jaren Jackson

Point guard: Avery Johnson

Needless to say, Duncan is a typical representative of his debut. Although "Admiral" David Robinson was not in his peak period, he still maintained an extremely high state. The inside double towers formed by them are undoubtedly the strongest inside combination in the league.

As for Sean Elliott, he was the 1989 Tanhua Show and was a two-time All-Star player, but similar to Robinson, Elliott was also not in his peak period.

Compared with the frontcourt, the Spurs' backcourt combination is much worse. Jaren Jackson and Avery Johnson are both non-draft players, and the latter is only 178 cm, which is the worst backcourt combination in the league.

Under the referee's instructions, Clark and Robinson jumped the ball, respectively. Robinson beat Clark and gave the basketball racquet to Johnson.

Alexander wanted to grab the ball, but Johnson's possession was extremely stable and his center of gravity was extremely low, making it difficult to find an opportunity.

Seeing that there was no chance, Alexander had to retreat.

After passing the ball through half the game, Johnson pretended to make a breakthrough and took the opportunity to pass the ball to Duncan while Alexander was moving.

Duncan played singles at Mike Dess in a low position. Both of them were top power forwards, but Duncan had a height advantage and was very strong. After just sitting back twice, Mike Dess felt the difficulty and could only try his best to stop him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Duncan took a step forward, turned around and broke through McDace, and began to rush towards the basket.

In the past few years since entering the league, Duncan has not been seriously injured, and he has been able to go to heaven and earth. It is not the floor flow in the future, but he was seriously injured later, so he had to take it away.

After breaking into the penalty area, before Clark could help defend, Duncan jumped up and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

The terrible thing about Duncan is that as a power forward, he has no real shortcomings.

Looking back, Chi Liang passed the ball to Mike Dyce. Like the Spurs, the Nuggets' first goal was also a low-level single.

This is a showdown between top power forwards, and it has attracted a lot of attention for this.

Although Duncan is very strong, McDest was not much worse at his peak, especially in his low-level singles, which was McDestine's strength.

McDace took the ball with both hands and took a step to the left. Feeling Duncan's moving steps, McDace turned around in the opposite direction, opened up a certain shooting space, and immediately shot the basketball.

Through fake moves, McDace successfully disturbed Duncan, and his movements were extremely smooth. By the time Duncan reacted, he was already one step too late.

Swish~

The basketball was hollowed into the net, and McDace glanced at Duncan and turned back to defend.

"It's interesting!"

Looking at McDace's back, Duncan became more eager to try, but he was still calm on the surface.

"Top power forward Mike Dyce, van Exel, who was suspended and super rookie Chi Liang, as long as the running-in is enough, this Nuggets will definitely become a strong team!"

On the Spurs' bench, watching the players running on the field, Popovich began to fall into deep thought.

During the Spurs' offense, Duncan provided a cover for Johnson near the top corner, firmly blocking Alexander.

Duncan's cover quality is excellent, and it is very difficult to squeeze through his pick-and-roll. If you go around, you will have to delay a lot of time. This time is enough for Johnson to complete the breakthrough.

With Duncan's cover, Johnson rushed into the three-point line. McDace felt something was wrong. His defense replacement was a little impatient and his position was a little forward.

Johnson is too short, but shortness also has the benefits of being short. He is very fast and extremely flexible. He easily completes the breakthrough by just a change of direction in just one time.

Clark felt something was wrong and hurried forward to help defend. At this time, Johnson threw the ball towards the basket.

Clang~

Robinson reacted quickly and instantly completed the air relay, smashing the ball into the basket with force.
