The Spurs' counterattack shot was naturally initiated by Duncan. Although he would not fight for it, his ability and character made his teammates trust him. He has the qualifications.
Speaking of Duncan, I can't help but say a few more words.
Now when people around me basically mention Duncan, the topic will immediately involve another great man - Garnett. The two of them seem to be inseparable twins in people's eyes. Many people say that the two of them are destined.
opponent, but in fact they haven't met many times in the playoffs, and even Nowitzki seems to be more qualified.
But there are really many similarities between these two people. For example, by 2013, this was Duncan's 16th season in the league and Garnett's 18th. Counting the playoffs, the two of them had more than
He has played nearly 100,000 minutes in the league, from playing 40 minutes per game at his peak to now playing 30 minutes per game. From being the well-deserved boss of the team to now serving others. But what is really crazy is
Yes, the "efficiency per 36 minutes" of the two of them has almost remained unchanged.
Although I am not particularly interested in statistics such as "efficiency per 36 minutes". After all, the difference in playing time, whether as the main player or the substitute, and other factors will affect the player's efficiency. But it can be done like Duncan and
At Garnett's level, I can't stay calm anymore.
But what I find even more remarkable is that they are willing to take a lower salary to make team building easier. You must know that their behavior is different from the time when James, Wade, and Bosh took a salary cut and returned it.
The difference is that the three of them cannot get together without taking a salary cut, and Wade has had enough of being on a bad team. The other two urgently need a championship to add to their honor books. But Duncan and Garnett do not exist at all.
On this issue, they have enough honors, and they can get more salary. They do this entirely for the team's sake.
Everyone should know that this is really not easy. Not everyone can take money so lightly. Many people would not think so at all, such as Kobe Bryant of the Lakers. His salary also played a huge role in the formation of the team.
The impact - it's just that the direction is completely opposite. Okay, I admit that I said so much above, mainly to introduce this sentence. Although objectively speaking, he does deserve that much salary, but comparing Duncan and Garner
Special, I can only say that he is not short of money at all, and there is no need for him to impact O'Neal's total salary of 292 million in his career.
Okay, back to business, Duncan took a position on the high wing in the paint, and then Parker passed the ball to him.
This position is a position where other big men in the league generally don't catch the ball. For those with tonnage like O'Neal and Yao Ming, they usually ask for the ball in the low post, and then turn around and get to the basket in one step; and like Nowitzki
, like Bosh, they will catch the ball at the free throw line, because the defensive intensity at that position is similar to that of the wing position, but it is closer to the basket.
Moreover, this position is not only difficult to attack directly, but also difficult to organize. If you pass the ball, it can only reach half of the ball, but not the other side. If you want to score and play, this position is too far outside.
Generally speaking, if someone else catches the ball in this position, nine out of ten times it will be just a transition. The most likely combo is to pass the ball hand to hand to the little Qiu Yan, and then watch him go directly to the basket. It serves as a blocker.
Passing has a two-in-one effect, so defensive players will not be particularly concerned. But if Duncan receives the ball, it is different. He has a special skill in this area - hitting the board.
The requirements for the strength and arc of the shot are not so strict for the rebound shot. As long as it hits the small white frame of the backboard, it can bounce into it. Note that it is almost the same. If you are too crazy, it will still fly. So generally 2
Commonly used by people, 1. The shot is too flat, the arc of the ball is not enough, and the angle of entry into the basket is small. 2. The feeling of space is relatively poor, and it is difficult to control the force of the direct shot. Here we can’t judge the reason why Duncan first started practicing rebounding.
, but the final result was that he practiced this unique trick at a distance of about 45 degrees.
But the rebounding shot is not the scariest thing, but the containment power based on this. Duncan can shoot and break out here, there are many offensive options, and it is difficult for defensive players to judge, so the defensive efficiency is low.
Brand naturally knew the threat of Duncan taking the ball in this position, so he quickly moved in to defend. But Duncan did a simak cross step, changing from back to the basket to facing the frame, and then used a fake move to hit Brand. Because
There is a huge height difference between the two, so Brand did not try to defend against the three threats, but chose to stay close to the waist and lower the body.
Brand's entire body was attached to Duncan's body, preventing him from dribbling and preventing him from exerting force on his knees. Because he was too close, Brand had no other action except raising his hands high for fear of fouling.
.But Duncan was obviously taller after all, so he shot directly over Brand's head, and then "dang" hit the backboard and fell into the basket.
After the goal, the Spurs players quickly retreated to their own half, giving the Magic no chance to make a fast break.
But Nash still wanted to dribble the ball past half court like a little whirlwind, and then direct the players to attack.
Brand looked at Nash's gesture, stuck out his butt and squeezed towards the basket, but Duncan stood behind him like a mountain. No matter how hard he tried, he remained still, like a breeze blowing over the hills.
Feel.
After two attempts, Brand found that he had no chance to get in, so he gave up and moved to the three-point line to cover Nash. Nash took advantage of the opportunity, accelerated and got rid of Parker, and then made a mid-range shot.
As soon as the ball was released, Nash knew it was there, because his release felt particularly smooth. He really used his strength from his knees to move the ball with his fingers. As expected, the arc of the ball was very high, flying past Duncan's raised arm, and then hollowed into the net.
.
"Both sides have very good hand skills, and I estimate that the score in this game will be relatively high." Hubie Brown, as the commentator of the game, gave his best wishes after watching two more balls.
But someone immediately slapped him in the face. The Spurs' legendary player "George Gervin" immediately made an excuse and said, "This is San Antonio, and the opponent is the Magic, which is famous for its scoring ability. Do you think **Vitch will let this guy
A high score in every game? Hubby, you believe me, the Spurs will increase their defensive intensity soon, and then the shooting percentage of both sides in this game will drop to about 40%."
"Haha, you are right, but I think the fans don't want to see that kind of game."
The commentator here is still joking, but **Vicz over there has already taken action, standing on the sidelines and roaring. Edison usually likes to yell at players, but he only does it when players make mistakes, and **Vicci
The strange thing is that he is a killer. No matter if you make a mistake or not, he will yell at you as soon as you play. He even scolds the players for a mistake even if the team doesn't win.
Parker even said in an interview with reporters, "The biggest advantage of being injured is that you don't have to be scolded by Vicky."
Under Vic's roar, the Spurs players were like clockwork, and their movement speed and concentration were significantly improved than before.
Thibodeau sighed while watching the game, "It's amazing. The level of defense just now still has so much room for improvement. I really don't know what to say."
"What I care about now is not the opponent's defensive level, but our shooting percentage. I haven't scored in three consecutive rounds." Edison rolled his eyes at Thibodeau, who was starting to rebel, and then said angrily.
.
Thibodeau also knew that his performance just now was a bit exaggerated, so he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, the Spurs didn't score a goal either."
A person's energy is limited. The Spurs focus more on defense, and their offensive ability will naturally decline. The result is that after 2 minutes of play, the score of the two teams started at 2-4. Except for the three goals in the opening, both sides
He has never scored a goal, but the good news is that the Magic are ahead.
Stalemate is a situation that often occurs in the game. Whether it is two sides facing each other or the current situation, it is a stalemate. A stalemate tests the skills of the players and the team. Generally, in this case
, the team has two options. 1. Maintain the status quo and see who makes the mistake first; 2. Surprise the enemy and break the deadlock.
Edison briefly thought about it and decided to change his strategy, because the idea of waiting for the Spurs to make a mistake was a mistake in itself. However, this kind of change of strategy coexists with opportunities and risks. Although it can seize the opportunity, it may be worse if it is not played well.
Opportunities were seized by opponents.
Edison thought for a moment. The Spurs' current No. 3 position is Bowen. This guy has no defense. Offensively, he only has one three-pointer and can't break through. It doesn't make much sense to let Iguodala guard him. It's better to change him to someone who can score better.
of.
So Edison called Martin to his side, "Kevin, you come on the field to replace Iguodala. On the offensive end, Brand is the fulcrum, and you provide firepower support from the outside. On defense, you guard Bowen and only guard him from three-pointers."
, he won’t break through.”
Martin was very excited to see Edison call him. He didn't expect that he would have a chance to play so soon. But when he heard Edison's arrangement, he suddenly realized, "It seems that I am facing off against Uncle Bao," so he
Subconsciously, Edison rubbed his knees. But Edison didn't know these thoughts in Martin's mind. After speaking, he urged him to come out quickly.
The coach asked you to play, and you had to play, so Martin turned back to the referee's box step by step, and then appeared on the court in a nervous mood.
For his own safety, Martin decided to get close to his third uncle after playing, so that he would feel better about him. So he came to his third uncle and said flatteringly, "Third uncle, you have a good head, you are quite bright, yes
It’s freshly shaved. What a coincidence, you can see that my head is also freshly shaved.”
