Wang Zelin and Adridge switched defenses, and he was brought to the low post on the left by Duncan.
"Snapped!"
Duncan took a step back to catch the ball, arched Wang Zelin with his back, leaned forward and leaned against Wang Zelin to attack the frame. Instead of staggering during the confrontation in the air, the two of them scored the ball steadily and won the referee's whistle.
Voice.
Duncan got a chance to hit a three-pointer!
"Depend on!"
Wang Zelin glanced at his mouth. Who would have thought that Duncan, who is almost 40 years old, will completely get over the troubles of injuries this season. Not only has the number of appearances reached the highest in the past three years, reaching 74 games, but he can also stably contribute 15 points per game.
Points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.8 blocks.
This is a thousand-year-old monster. He is almost 40 years old, and he is still in good condition.
With an expressionless face, Duncan found the teammate closest to him, stretched out his palm as usual, and played with the opponent's head.
Wang Zelin looked at Tony Parker, whose hairstyle was gradually getting closer to Ginobili's, and was glad that he was not playing for the Spurs.
Duncan made an extra free throw and successfully hit a three-pointer.
Once upon a time, there were not only shark-killing tactics in the league, but also boring Buddha tactics. The former was against O'Neal, and the latter was against Duncan.
However, as he gets older, Duncan's free throw shooting is getting better and better. Last season, the overall free throw shooting rate reached a career high of 81.7%. Although it has dropped slightly this year, it is still close to 75%.
As an insider with such free throw ability, the boring tactics have long been unsuitable for Duncan.
"Who would have thought that Duncan, who is 37 or 8 years old, can still compete with young people without losing, what an old monster!" Zhang Lili sighed.
Lillard got the ball, but the Spurs did not give him a chance for a fast break. The Trail Blazers pushed forward as a whole.
Wang Zelin ran to the entire court unhurriedly, and did not choose to sprint at full speed. He must win this game tonight. He was ready to play the entire court, and his physical fitness must be well distributed.
At the top of the arc, Lillard made a gesture of pulling away.
As the Trail Blazers players spread out, the Spurs players could only keep up. Only Duncan was closest to the basket and stopped not far from the low post.
At the same time, Danny Green and Leonard on both sides looked at their respective low-post players and at the same time stared at Wang Zelin, ready to rush into the penalty area at any time to participate in the defense. Their positions were relatively inside.
Seeing Wang Zelin approaching Lillard at the top of the arc, all Spurs members tightened their cordon in their hearts.
"Continue the pick-and-roll?" Yu Jia asked.
No, Wang Zelin, who was running from the right wing to the top of the arc, suddenly accelerated past Lillard, got down from the high post, crossed the free throw line, entered the penalty area, and went straight to the basket.
At the same time, he raised his right hand high and gestured for the ball.
Danny Green on the right wing didn't see Wang Zelin's movements at all, because at this moment he happened to turn his head to look at Matthews, and Wang Zelin was in his visual blind spot.
However, now he couldn't do anything when he saw it, because Wang Zelin's figure was already three meters away from him.
Lillard directly hoisted the ball into the air, and the basketball landed right under the basket, facing Wang Zelin.
Wang Zelin caught the ball and Duncan quickly turned around to defend, but was unable to stop the former from attacking the frame.
"boom!"
The basket was blown up successfully.
At 6:5, the Trail Blazers completed the lead.
"Beautiful! An adrenaline-filled domineering dunk, a performance from Wang!" Barkley roared.
"My king did a good job at this entry point! He caught the Spurs off guard." Yu Jiazan apologized.
"This is Zelin's great ability to hit the basket. So what if he can't guard Duncan? Duncan can't guard him either. At the center position, the two sides temporarily clashed with each other. This is not good news for the Spurs.
." Zhang Li said.
Yu Jia nodded silently.
If they continue to attack in this way, Duncan, who is more than ten years older than Wang Zelin, will definitely be the first to be unable to withstand the attack.
Within the venue.
"Pass the ball more! Don't stand there stupidly, cooperate!"
Simavici yelled at the players on the field, and he also understood that Duncan alone could not be relied upon to score, the team's entire offensive system must be turned on.
This is what the Spurs do best.
Spurs attack.
Tony Parker holds the ball on the left wing.
Duncan was low on the left wing, looking like Tony Parker with his hand raised, asking for the ball.
Today, Duncan feels that his condition is surprisingly good, and he wants to play a few more games first.
When Tony Parker was about to pass the ball, Wang Zelin was carrying Duncan from the inside out, and Duncan had to take a step outside to catch the ball.
When he was about to continue beating Wang Zelin, the latter suddenly took half a step away and was no longer prepared to carry on.
"This is about putting Duncan in the frame. Your Majesty's choice is very clear. Duncan is best at hitting the boards, and facing the frame is not his strong point." Yu Jia said.
"Tim, come on! Unleash your anger and put one on my head!"
Wang Zelin's body was half bent, his right hand was sealed on Duncan's face, and he kept spewing trash talk in his mouth to stimulate Duncan's emotions.
But the Stone Buddha is the Stone Buddha. He will never have any mood swings due to anything on the field. On the contrary, he will be more stable at critical moments.
Turn around and sit back...
"grass!"
Wang Zelin let out a curse word, but had to step forward to resist it.
However, as soon as he exerted his strength, Duncan suddenly turned to the left. The moment he turned, his left hand secretly pushed Wang Zelin's waist, and then took a long step to pick the basket from close range.
Wang Zelin didn't have time to interfere, so he turned around and immediately got stuck in front of Duncan, praying for a basketball and getting ready to grab a rebound.
"Whoosh!"
Pick the basket into the basket.
7:6, the score takes the lead alternately.
On the TNT commentary stage.
"This is the basic skills! This is Shifu Duncan! This kind of historical power forward has height, wingspan, tonnage, strength, and skills. He wants to score, but he really can't guard him. The only thing the defender can do
Just do your best to reduce their offensive efficiency!" Kenny Smith sighed.
"However, there is more to basketball than just one quarter. Tim can't keep playing like this, can he?" Barkley said.
If they want to last long, the Spurs must find a way to link up the entire team's offense as soon as possible. This is the best way to use Duncan.
Trail Blazers offense.
Lillard and Wang Zelin played a pick-and-roll again.
At the same time, Adridge, who was being defended by Tiago Split, stretched to the middle distance.
After the demolition, Wang Zelin delayed Tony Parker.
After all, although French sports cars are a bit old, they still have a lot of stock in the tank.
Seeing that Lillard was traveling unimpeded, Duncan had no choice but to rush in to make up the defense.
As a result, he only felt a gust of wind blowing behind him, and Wang Zelin had already cut inside after the pick-and-roll.
I knew that if I wasn't careful, this guy would charge.
At this time, Duncan had already anticipated his fate, subconsciously raised his hands, and decisively gave up taking off to stop him.
If previous media reports are correct, this guy's tonnage this year is already close to 300 pounds, and he doesn't want to test how strong his old bones are because of a reckless jump.
"boom!"
A one-handed smash, the height and power were very scary, but Wang Zelin completed it extremely easily.
Split on one side had already shrunk to the basket, but after seeing the height of the Blazers' No. 36's jump, he gave up the idea of taking off to block the shot.
Sometimes, the most important thing for people is to be self-aware!
With his small physique, it's better not to embarrass himself.
"Hahaha! Tim, it's your turn next."
After dunking, Wang Zelin narrowed his eyes and threw the ball to Duncan with a smile. His blood gradually boiled with continuous attacks. He wanted to see how Duncan would respond?
Split glanced at Duncan, whose expression was as usual, without any change.
This goal was enough for Duncan to appear in the top ten goals of the day, but this man seemed not to be affected, and he was terrifyingly calm.
After taking over, the Spurs still played Duncan, the most stable point. Duncan attacked with all his strength, and Wang Zelin defended with all his strength. The fans' eyes were full of the figure of the two dueling.
Helplessly, the strength of the basic skills was too great. Duncan once again hit a rebound on Wang Zelin's head. At 9:8, the Spurs reversed the score again.
Looking back, the Trail Blazers attacked, Aldridge hit Split with his back, and his first shot of the game - hit!
Interpretation seat at the imperial court.
Yu Jia looked curious and said: "Oh, is Ade ready to intervene in the game?"
Ade's appearance broke the confrontation between the two, and Simavic breathed a sigh of relief: If this continues, Tim won't have to play in the fourth quarter.
Tony Parker quickly counterattacked after receiving the basketball. Leonard was in the right corner, ready to catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer.
With a flick of one hand, the basketball flew toward the bottom corner. Lombard shook Batum and hit a three-pointer.
The teammates felt a little regretful in their hearts, but the expressions on their faces did not change much.
At this time, Leonard has not yet become one of the five elite players in the league in the future, and he can't even shoot clearly from mid-range, let alone three-pointers... He still needs about two or three years of development.
But this time the Spurs were very lucky. The rebound rebounded and was picked up by Danny Green, who organized the second attack.
Danny Green's three-pointer is much better than Leonard's. He handed the ball to Duncan. As soon as he ran back to the top of the key, Duncan passed the ball back, shot from the outside, and hit a three-pointer.
At 12:10, the Spurs led by two points.
"Tie~Lin!"
But when the first three-pointer of the game was hit, the home DJ suddenly sounded. In a daze, Wang Zelin heard the DJ's voice as "Tielin!"
Trail Blazers offense.
After the pick-and-roll, Wang Zelin feinted from the high position and shot from mid-range, but it was a pity.
Fortunately, the offensive rebound was obtained by Aldridge, and the second attack under the basket was successful.
Simavici's eyes almost burst into flames when he saw it outside the court, and he couldn't even defend the rebound in the backcourt. Split must have grown up eating shit.
On the next offense, Tony Parker beat Lillard from the outside, and then when he stopped at the free throw line to shoot a jumper, Wang Zelin, who was guarding him, flew towards him at an exaggerated height.
Yes, from Tony Parker's perspective, Wang Zelin was flying. Fortunately, he adjusted the shooting arc in time and was not caught.
As a result, the difficulty of shooting skyrocketed, and the ball did not go in in the end.
Unconsciously, the first quarter of the game lasted for most of the quarter, and the two sides gradually withdrew their main players and turned into a competition between rotating players.
Wang Zelin, who played 7 minutes, had 8 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block; for the Spurs, Duncan also had 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist.
The performance of the core players of both sides can be said to be equally matched for the time being.
