Chapter 789： a worthy opponent

The Spurs really fought hard.

The Knicks directly replaced Randolph and others in the middle of the first quarter. The purpose was the same as Popovich thought, to directly use the new force to blow up the Spurs harvest game!

In fact, they are indeed very fierce. Randolph came up and finished a strong fight on top of Duncan. The **** bear is really fierce this season, and his physical strength and experience have reached the peak of his career.

Duncan was obviously a little tired. Although he did not attack, this half of the quarter was extremely rare. Duncan did not make a single shot, but his physical energy consumption was equally huge, because he was mainly responsible for defending the left standing. Although the left standing half a quarter There were only 4 points, but Zuo Li didn't mean to respect the old man at all. He ran with Duncan Natong and constantly used the dribble to consume Duncan's physical strength. This was much more tiring than standing on the inside.

Don't forget, Duncan is 34 years old. Although you can make fun of him as a 34-year-old rookie, he does not have the physical fitness of his rookie days. Although he lost weight in the summer in order to prolong his career and reduce injuries, he eventually Still getting old, and Zuo Lijian is already very good without losing the wind for more than 6 minutes.

But for the team, Duncan still stayed on the court. Of course, Popovich also changed Duncan's defense, from Zuoli to Randolph.

But... Duncan really wanted to say, it's better to defend against Zuoli, this **** bear is too difficult to withstand!

To be honest, after losing weight, Duncan really can’t stand Randolph’s inside line. In the series that was blackened by the Grizzlies, Randolph averaged 21.5 points and 9.2 rebounds per game, while Duncan only scored 12.7 points and 10.5 Rebounding, it can be said that Duncan was blown up by Randolph.

This is of course also the reason why the teammates around him are not good enough. McDyess was played by Xiaojia, and the substitute Blair couldn't bear Randolph's butt, let alone Bonner, so Duncan defended against black and white bears by himself. There is no way to do things, just like Boozer, Okur hit Dayao.

This time, my teammates are really cba.

However, Duncan changed his mind in the next round, because the left standing picked and rolled quickly and McDyess made up the defense, but Curry directly threw it in the air, and the left standing took off directly one meter in front of McDyess.

Bang!

Alley-oop plus violent deductions!

Zuo Li even pushed McDyess out a meter away!

"OHMAMA!!!"

"Left library connection!"

"Violence explodes the frame!"

The climax of the commentary, the fans are speechless, the Knicks are crazy...

Little Ewing towel flying...

McDyess couldn't recover after being dunked for a long time. He stood under the basket in a daze, and at first glance, he was autistic.

"Clap clap clap." Duncan patted McDyess on the shoulder and suffered you, big brother.

it is more than words.

It's better to play number four.

The Spurs were blown up by the Knicks in a row, and the Spurs trailed by 4 points, but the Knicks still held their hands. Curry and Danny Green flew on both sides, scaring Parker. Jefferson hurriedly made up defenses, but it was Bayern who made the final shot. Linelli.

Zuo Li has an assist +1, and Belinelli has a smooth opening.

A wave of 7-0 made Popovich call a timeout.

At this time, the Knicks' tactics have also been revealed. Before the game, the commentators who said that the German coach was playing snakes changed their direction and began to praise the Knicks' tactics.

Guidance Zhang: "I just said that an experienced coach like D'Antoni would not easily do things against him. Sure enough, it's not bad to use the main force as a substitute."

Yu Jia: "The Knicks' tactic worked well. Curry Randolph immediately suppressed the effect as soon as he came back. I have to say that this evolution is quite good."

Barkley: "GOGOGO! The Knicks made Manu Ginobili's threat plummet with an excellent response, a genius choice."

Kenny Smith cast a look of contempt, and I don't know who just said that D'Antoni is the weak point of the Knicks. As expected of you, Charles, but he also has to admit that it is dangerous to play against the Spurs like this: "Now the Spurs are faced with a choice. Whether or not to replace the bench, if you do, the Knicks may directly open the gap, and if you don’t, the physical fitness of GDP will be a big problem.”

Smith's words were straight to the point, and Popovich gave his choice, and he still didn't change it!

There were still five players in the starting lineup, and the Spurs relied on their tenacious character to firmly hold the score.

Duncan used it twice in the first strong shot at the basket, but the old Duncan scored the ball with a tip. Afterwards, Duncan defended Randolph strongly. Although he was eventually called a foul, Randolph made two free throws and one , the old Duncan's foul is worth it.

Afterwards, the demon sword was unsheathed, and Manu Ginobili made a three-pointer by pulling in place against Danny Green's defense.

Zuo Li: "..."

Damn, you say it's Tracy McGrady, I believe Durant, this height and talent can do the same!

"The demon sword is really a demon sword."

After the three-pointer, Curry did not continue the three-pointer, and the Spurs in turn played a wave of 5-1, reducing the point difference to 3 points.

This is also the difference between the two teams at the end of the first quarter. Popovich replaced Duncan with 1 minute left in the first quarter. Parker rested for 3 minutes. After all, George Hill can still be used, but Duncan I'm really tired.

In the second quarter, Duncan actually took a rest for less than 2 minutes and then went into battle again, and fought with Zuoli, Randolph, David Lee, Anderson and four Knicks players, contributing 6 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks in a single quarter. .

In midfield, Zuo Li had to admire Duncan's tired but strong body.

"Duncan is definitely a respectable opponent, no wonder O'Neal likes him and respects him." Zuo Li thought.

Although he had the experience of being swept by O'Neal, Duncan was also the one who ended the Lakers dynasty in person.

The championship in 2003 is definitely one of the most valuable championships in history, and Duncan's performance is also worthy of the title of the first major.

Even though he is old at this time, he is still strong and he still refuses to admit defeat.

While passive in the half, he was able to tie the Knicks 54-58, and Duncan was definitely the biggest contributor.

In the third quarter, Duncan set off the Spurs' counterattack storm. In the sixth minute of the third quarter, the Knicks had a 7-point advantage.

As a result, Duncan suddenly blocked Randolph with a supplementary defense, and then passed it to Parker for a counterattack.

After Parker scored, he quickly returned to the defense and attacked Curry with Duncan. Curry made a mistake in passing, and Ginobili's fast break caused Danny Green to draw a foul!

The subsequent sideline ball was Duncan's classic in this game. He first picked and rolled, then back-run, Parker passed the ball, Duncan's old man chatted about teenage madness, and received the ball with one arm to complete the dunk! ! !

This dunk directly made the entire arena seem to explode, and even the forum was alarmed, because after a season, this was Duncan's first dunk!

There was even a related topic on the Internet, that is: When was the last time you saw Duncan dunk?

And this wave directly handicap the difference by only one point, and the Knicks were stopped.

At this time, even the Knicks fans have to admire the toughness of the Spurs, while the Spurs fans see the hope of winning.

However, unfortunately, after the suspension, the Knicks quickly regained control of the game.
