"Come on, Fang, defeat me, and the future is yours~" Duncan said while looking at the young center from the East in front of him.
Even though Duncan is already 38 years old, in Popovich's regular season, he took various turns, pretended to be dead, and compressed his average time per game. Except for his last season, Duncan would show stronger ability in the playoffs almost every year than in the regular season.
Come on out. Come on, Duncan is the one who will get 3 teams and 2 defenses in the original time and space next season, and next season he will be 39 years old, okay! Except when he was 40 years old, he really couldn't do it. For 3 consecutive seasons,
Duncan's average blocks per game are basically around 2+! This is because he averages less than 30+ playing time per game.
This defensive ability alone is strong enough, not to mention that Tim Duncan will burst out with stronger energy at critical moments in the playoffs. This is the man who is definitely the No. 4 player in NBA history! No doubt in the top ten in history!
In singles inside, Tang Qian's competitive status was still weakened by 25% due to the "inner demon". Tang Qian's situation was not very optimistic.
It can even be described as pessimistic without too much wrong.
To put it bluntly, Duncan is too old now. If he is ten years younger, try it. O.K. has been knocked down by him all by himself! Look at how powerful O'Neal is.
You know, from 98 to 99 when he was at his peak, his data was suppressed by Duncan. Duncan's data was close to 29+11+3+2+1, 51%+81%. What is O'Neal? He was only close to 24+13+0.5
+2+1, 49%+48% data. Totally suppressed! The next playoff meeting was 2 years later. O'Neal was defeated again against the Spurs. Duncan averaged 23+12+4+4+1 per game.
O'Neal suffers a lot, especially the 4.3 blocks per game, which is what Duncan can do. He and Robinson average 2.8 blocks per game. In each game, two people have to block the Lakers' 6+ goals in the paint. O'Neal's data
Compared with his entire playoffs, it has dropped significantly, not to mention the momentum of the finals where people block and kill, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha. His shooting percentage in this round of the series is only 3% higher than Kobe's, and it is only 27.
Points, Kobe averaged close to 33+7+7+2+1 per game and shot over 50%. How could it be so easy for the Lakers to beat the Spurs? You have to say that the Spurs had David Robinson helping inside before.
Then the next year, David Robinson completely deteriorated. In the playoffs that year, he only averaged 4.5+5.8+1.3+0.8 per game, and his playing time also dropped significantly. As David Robinson aged,
Even though he could only play more than 20 minutes per game, Duncan averaged close to 45+ minutes per game, basically playing almost the entire game, averaging close to 29+17+5+3+1 per game! This is
O'Neal in 2016 only produced 21+12 data, and his shooting percentage dropped below 45%. He was once again suppressed by Duncan. The next year, the Lakers were not only eliminated from the Spurs series, but O'Neal's data once again
They are evenly matched with Duncan. The former wins rebounds and blocks, while the latter wins points, assists and wins.
Of course, O'Neal is the 5th position, and Duncan is the swing position between the 4th and 5th positions. However, unlike the matchup between outside players, the paint area is only so big, and the opportunities for inside players to contact each other are much greater than those on the outside.
.So the reference value is actually much higher than the outside matchup. Looking at the data requires detailed analysis of specific issues. New fans and fake fans are a little confused about it, but old fans will definitely know the mystery at a glance.
Rigid comparison of data, which is the highest level of "fake data emperor", compared with people who really understand football, it is clear at a glance that a person is a high-ranking person and a low-level person.
Therefore, never underestimate the defensive ability of the Spurs No. 21 inside. He is not a physical superman like Howard Garnett, but he is a guy who maximizes his mental and physical hardware. So in his later years, he can still hold up.
The Spurs' defensive system is not like Howard's, where the peak is like a shooting star, fleeting.
In this case, Tang Qian's situation was not bad, but very dangerous.
His success rate against Duncan alone can be calculated by any fool.
If there wasn't this damn "inner demon", Tang Qian would still be a little more confident, but tonight he lost "25% of his competitive status" in vain. How to fight like this? Do you think Duncan is like this in the playoffs?
Is it easy to fight?
After Duncan saw Tang Qian holding the ball, he was not too nervous, because he had carefully analyzed the various data and video recordings of Lakers No. 29 before the game. If he can quantify it a little, his rebounding ability and defensive ability
They are all S level, maybe even higher than S, maybe. But in terms of offense, except for the occasional convulsions and eating dumplings, they are almost at the rookie level. They are not any better than other blue-collar workers in the league.
This season's average of 12.2 points per game is the biggest evidence.
As long as Nash is contained, he will lose his biggest offensive weapon, offense without the ball. In this case, there is no need to worry too much.
How to block No. 29's superior off-ball offensive ability has long been studied thoroughly by the Spurs. Without Nash, he is like a tiger without teeth, and his offensive firepower can be ignored.
So far, in the 29th series, two games have been scored in single digits, with the highest one being 14 points. Duncan is at least 80% sure that he can hold down his opponent with single defense.
There is no other way, you can't back down, otherwise if you want to attack hard at the basket, hesitate and shrink, then half of the power will be gone.
All we can do is muster up the courage and be tough!
In fact, Tang Qian's progress rate is not bad, but the time is too short and too little. He does not have more time for special improvement. Why do most of the sudden improvements of NBA players focus on the offseason? It's because they want to
To improve a certain aspect, you need to put in a huge amount of time and effort, but unfortunately, during the normal time of playing games, you have the will, but you have no power. What do you mean? It's very simple, there are only 24 hours in a day.
You participate in team training, fly, accept interviews, play games, press conferences, recover physical functions, etc., which takes up a lot of time, so if you want to make a qualitative change, it is difficult to make it during the season.
What is lacking is nothing but time.
So Duncan doesn't think that No. 29 can suddenly become stronger offensively. Even if it breaks out occasionally, it will only be occasional and will not last long. After all, the Lakers are still struggling.
Tang Qian moved. His movements were full of power, but his skills were still a bit lacking.
Moses Malone told him early in private training that hard attacks at the basket also require skills. He also showed him intercepted highlights of Howard's hard attacks at the basket to illustrate the balance of confrontation, time difference, and experience.
, angles, steps, are all skills for hard attack at the basket. Tang Qian relied on the "super scoring month" to practice a lot in unscrupulous games, otherwise it would be impossible to improve so quickly.
matter.
But now, even if there are some shortcomings, he has to bite the bullet.
Because there was no room for him to retreat or hesitate.
Seeing Tang Qian's movements, Duncan was very steady. He did not jump immediately. Instead, he stood firm and raised his hands high. He first confronted the former vertically, and then found an opportunity. He slapped Tang Qian unhurriedly.
The hat was off for Tang Qian's move.
The first shot failed, but the basketball was not blocked very hard and landed not far from Tang Qian. After Tang Qian got the basketball, without saying a word, he stiffened again without hitting it. Then, he
He actually took the offensive rebound by force, and did it again for the third time. This time Duncan was a little unexpected, and the basketball was put into the Spurs' basket with great difficulty.
After finally scoring this goal, Tang Qian breathed a sigh of relief.
"So you learned what Carmelo did. It's good, but I still say the same thing." Duncan said: "There will be no next time for you." On the defensive end, the Spurs hit a three-pointer and the rebound bounced
Gasol was responsible for the area, and the Spaniard protected this defensive rebound. Offensive rebounds are hard to say, but Gasol is not weak on defensive rebounds either.
This ball was given to Tang Qian again. If he could hit a few consecutive inside shots, it would surely involve the Spurs' entire defense. At that time, there would be opportunities and gaps to flourish inside and outside, and then take the opportunity to activate the entire team's offensive firepower.
But this time, Tang Qian failed. He was defended by Duncan. The Spurs counterattacked with a D-shaped 4-player pass, and Tony Parker succeeded in a layup.
In the next offensive round, Kobe took a shot, and the basketball went hollow into the net.
The Spurs missed, and Kobe took another shot, causing an interior defensive foul on the Spurs. Unfortunately, he only made 1 of 2 free throws.
I thought the Lakers could gain momentum, but the Spurs immediately seized on the opportunity. With Duncan's low-post support without the ball, the Spurs scored a 45-degree three-pointer from the right side.
Brush ~ Kobe's two offensive rounds turned into waste and became useless.
On the next ball, Nick Young of the Lakers took a shot and the basketball was protected by the Spurs. They defended and counterattacked again, but this time Tang Qian helped the Lakers reject the opponent and slapped away the Brazilian Thiago Split with a big block.
An air cut shot.
Kobe missed the basketball when he broke through, and Tang Qian struggled to get the rebound. He wanted to attack twice immediately to help the Lakers score another 2 points, but Duncan really let him know how powerful he was. His consecutive shots were blocked by the Spurs.
The team blocked it on the 21st. Even if Tang Qian got it twice in a row, he didn't make a shot.
The last time he took a shot, Duncan blocked him directly from the bottom line.
Duncan looked at Tang Qian. Although there was not much expression on his face, he showed confidence and pride in his words: "You are too young. You are too young on the offensive end. Dongfang boy, now you are a basketball player."
You can't beat my defense."
hateful!
Tang Qian was very annoyed, but the basketball court is not a fighting arena? He was guarded, and he could only blame himself, not others.
The Lakers' baseline pass actually made a mistake. In the end, two people came down quickly and Leonard succeeded in a one-handed dunk!
After working hard for so long, I looked up and saw the score. Instead of shrinking, it actually expanded.
At this moment, the last hope in D'Antoni's heart slowly fell silent.
Sure enough, is it fanciful to want to win so easily?
I lost to the Spurs again, and I lost to that old drunkard Popovich.
He thought for a while and called a timeout, seemingly to interrupt the Spurs' momentum, but in fact, it didn't have much practical use.
The morale of the Lakers is getting lower and lower.
PS: Try to break out by 10,000 words tomorrow~
Xiao Zi will not be lazy during this period, and strive to have more outbreaks and more updates~~~
