Arriving at the frontcourt, Wang Zelin took the initiative to come over and made physical contact with Duncan. Unexpectedly, the next moment, he was completely covered.
"King, you are so despicable!"
Duncan's ice cube face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years, suddenly changed.
Um, is this guy Duncan talking trash to me?
This is Wang Zelin's real thought at the moment. As for the word "despicable" in Duncan's mouth, he has long forgotten it and has no intention of digging into it.
Of course, Duncan didn't know Wang Zelin's inner thoughts. Similarly, Wang Zelin also didn't know what Duncan was thinking at this time.
After seeing that Wang Zelin had not replied to him for a long time, Duncan couldn't help but get angry:
According to this guy's fiery personality, he didn't reply to me this time. It seems that Greg was right before. The Blazers deliberately used KG to stimulate me, thus falling into an infinite duel...
I'm so stupid, really!
Under this misunderstanding, the two began to face off for the first time in the third quarter.
Duncan was in a very deep position in the low post, so he decisively wanted to complete this attack through a post-up play.
In the low position on the right wing, he carried Wang Zelin with his left hand, dribbled the ball with one hand with his right hand, and began to play sideways.
Bang bang! Bang bang!
After several consecutive hits, the latter was like a big mountain, standing still and isolating itself from the paint area.
Is this guy... so powerful?
For a moment, a greasy body suddenly appeared in Duncan's mind. No, to be precise, it was a terrifying large shark.
During this physical confrontation, Duncan felt a rare feeling of inadequacy.
Of course, if he is physically strong, even if Wang Zelin's upper and lower limb strength has reached 99, Duncan will not be completely unable to sit still when he performs a back hit.
Gein, Duncan's static physical talent is definitely of a historical level. Although he lacks the running and jumping ability when he first entered the league, Duncan's strength in the lower body has always made opposing players despair.
The main reason why he felt powerless was because he was tired.
Yes, in the first two games, Wang Zelin's playing time was not less than 40 minutes. It is really not nonsense to rely on Split to defend Wang Zelin.
Basically from the end of the first half of the first game of the series, the job of defending Wang Zelin inevitably fell to Duncan.
Especially at critical moments, the only one who can guard Wang Zelin is Duncan!
One is a 38-year-old veteran who is nearing the end of his career, and the other is a young player in his early 20s who is at the peak of his firepower. The former will eventually suffer from the frequent physical confrontations between the two.
After two fierce confrontations, the old arms and legs had to need better load management. It is understandable that Duncan suddenly felt unable to do what he wanted.
However, being able to understand does not mean that you can accept it.
Sports competitions never show mercy to the weak!
In the next three rounds, Duncan hit the ball continuously. On the other hand, Wang Zelin also found Duncan. After the same three rounds, the latter scored two goals.
At 59:51, the score difference suddenly approached double digits.
Beep beep~~~
Spurs coach Smarovich couldn't hold on any longer and decisively called for the first timeout of the second half.
After returning to the bench, Duncan swallowed a glass of water in one gulp, and his sore throat felt a little better.
The more counterpointed he is, the greater his consumption will be.
The team doctor on the side was not idle either. He came up immediately to massage his calf and Achilles tendon.
Alas~
Sima Weiwei sighed helplessly.
On the court, he watched the duel between Duncan and Wang Zelin, and it hurt in his heart. Is it too cruel to let a 38-year-old veteran take on the task of defending Wang Zelin?
No, so what if it's cruel?
The Spurs have no better choice.
"Tim, please."
Sima Wei came over, not very impassioned. After saying a plain sentence, he just patted Duncan on the shoulder.
Duncan and Sima Weiwei were both teachers and friends. It is not clear who made the other successful.
Probably, this is a rare team in NBA history where a team can achieve mutual success.
It is precisely because of this that the two of them have developed a tacit understanding over the years and there is no need to say too much anymore. Everything is said without saying anything.
Beep!!
The whistle blows and the game continues.
When they faced off again, Wang Zelin instantly noticed that Duncan's momentum had become completely different.
Looking up, he seemed to see a fire deep in Duncan's eyes, an eternal flame of war.
Imperial Terrace.
"If the Spurs can't beat this next attack..."
As soon as Zhang Lili finished speaking, the situation on the court suddenly changed.
Parker arrived in the frontcourt at this time.
On the left wing, Ginobili suddenly turned back and ran, caught the ball inside the three-point line, accelerated, changed direction, dropped Matthews, and entered the wing.
His move immediately attracted a double-team from Wang Zelin, who was guarding Duncan in the right corner.
As soon as the latter double-teamed, Duncan was free. After receiving the ball, he slightly bent his knees and was ready to take off.
But at this moment, Matthews, who was following Ginobili, rushed over desperately, looking like he was flying to block the shot.
Such a desperate defense, even Duncan had to duck to avoid it, and Matthews missed.
Duncan stood up and wanted to pull one out at close range.
But he forgot that his hiding just now gave someone an opportunity to defend himself.
As soon as I raised my head, the sky suddenly turned pitch black.
No, it's not that the sky is dark, it's...
Duncan reacted instantly, hurriedly adjusted the trajectory and tried to lean back, but it was still too late.
Snapped!!!
"oh!!"
There were exclamations from all around.
Where is the ball?
The ball was slapped by Wang Zelin. What's more terrible is that after the ball was slapped, it flew towards Duncan's face in its original direction.
Finally, I had a close encounter with Duncan's ice cube face.
Wang Zelin quickly picked up the ball, made a long pass, and assisted Batum for a layup in the frontcourt.
The transition between offense and defense was so fast that it was over in the blink of an eye.
However, the Spurs were not happy.
"It's a thug! He's fouled! He's fouled!"
Simavici broke through the defense instantly, his face turned red with anger, and he yelled at the referee.
I even had a bad feeling in my heart: Don’t get hurt!
Fortunately, Duncan got up on his own, but the tip of his nose was obviously red, and a blush suddenly appeared on the right side of his face, which looked a bit like a clown's big red nose.
In any case, San Antonio is a small market, but the Spurs are still one of the top players in the league, and Sima Vicki is one of the few coaches in NBA history who has won more than a thousand wins. No matter how you look at it, the referee should give
Face still needs to be given.
When he came to the technical table, the referee watched the video repeatedly and finally announced: Wang Zelin did not commit a foul and the defensive data was valid.
"Shit! Is Greg blind? That's obviously a good hat!"
TNT, Barkley looked disdainful.
"He may be just worried that Duncan will get hurt."
Kenny Smith replied with a smile.
When it comes to injuries, Barkley’s team looks even more disdainful:
"Afraid of getting hurt? Why play if you're afraid of getting hurt! That's right. How can these good guys today understand basketball in the 1980s and 1990s? At that time, hormones were released everywhere!"
hehe!
Kenny Smith laughed and said nothing about this.
It is said that high emotional intelligence is the release of hormones;
The statement of low emotional intelligence is probably not a daily fight!
