Reverse Growth Superstar

Although Duncan always shows people with a taciturn image, he is actually a very happy player. And like Popovich, he likes to run trains.

When Duncan was selected by the Spurs, the Spurs team went to Duncan's hometown to investigate this talented guy. result. Because Popovich and his team were late, Duncan pretended to drown in the water in order to "punish" them, frightening Popovich and all the Spurs management in his peers.

However, Duncan is actually a great swimmer. Had it not been for fear of sharks, he might have become a professional swimmer...

Another time was Ken's first summer league career when his shot was blocked by the powerful center Greg Ostertag. Seeing this, Popovich encouraged Duncan on the sidelines, "It's okay, continue to shoot, we will play great!"

As a result, Duncan said abruptly, "I told you it was wrong to choose me."

There are a lot of funny incidents about Duncan, not to mention his famous classic case of "getting off the court with a smile".

So, if you think Duncan is just a boring big man who doesn't speak, you are quite wrong.

But this time, when Duncan said to the camera, "Let's walk and see," no one knew whether Duncan was joking or was serious.

Duncan may be funny, but he almost never gets angry. It's not in line with Duncan's style to fight with opponents before the game.

But this time he took the initiative to attack, which can only show one problem-Duncan is very serious about this round of the series!

Therefore, before the start of today's game, people want to take a good look at what Duncan will do!

"The Memphis Grizzlies finally came to the ATT Center to play the playoffs, but they did not visit as an eighth predictor of the Midwest, but fifth in the Western Conference! This is the Western Conference semifinals, and I’m Steve Kerr. Welcome to this game!"

Steve Kerr sat on the commentary stage. Since retiring from the management of the Suns, he has been active in the basketball world as a commentator. And the Spurs game, he explained the most. After all, he has also played under Popovich and worked with Duncan. Therefore, he can always analyze the ideas of the Spurs.

Of course, the most important thing is that he can often shake out some interesting things about Popovich and Duncan.

On the court, players from both teams are already warming up. The scene today gave Duncan and Randolph a split-screen close-up. The duel between the two is undoubtedly the biggest attraction of today.

"Zac’s form this year is very, very good. In the first round of the Thunder, he scored 30 points in two games and scored a 20+20 double-double in one game. During the regular season, Randolph played every game. The performance of the game almost suppressed Tim. But the regular season and the playoffs are very different, besides, Duncan has already spoken yesterday, let's wait and see!" Cole gave out the highlights of the game as soon as he came up. , Randolph VS Duncan, the fiercest confrontation in the fourth position, will determine the fate of the two teams.

But at this time, what Popovich is placing on the bench is the offensive tactics of Parker and Ginobili. This year, Popovich is equivalent to an experiment. He allowed the team to try to transform from the previous defensive approach to the team offensive approach. On the offensive side, Ginobili and Parker are the two guards.

Ginobili is the first regular season starter of his career this year. He marked the Spurs’ entry from the "D era" to the "G era". Don't think Popovich is an old man, he must be an old man. In fact, Popovich's tactical play has been advancing with the times.

"Don't be afraid of their defense, use the ball to find scoring opportunities. I know that Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook were almost crying by the Grizzlies outside in the last round. But. They are children, you are not! Children can make mistakes, you can’t! Go on the court and take the opportunity, as long as the offense is constantly shifting, we can firmly grasp the rhythm!" Popovich still intends to rely on the back attack to score points, the key is him Ginobili and Parker can use this man too.

On the other hand, with the Grizzlies off the bench, Hollins' strategy is naturally to attack the inside. He is confident about playing with the Black and White Bears, and the Spurs' inside post this year looks a bit unattractive to Hollins.

Five minutes later, the two sides started to stand in the designated position, and the ATT center was in joy. They all believe in Duncan and Popovich, and believe that the Western Conference semifinals are by no means the end of the Spurs.

But in Link's eyes, the Spurs are lucky enough. After all, in the original history, the Spurs never even had the first round...

"Both sides jumped the ball, and Gasol easily fought for the ball! Popovich decided in the playoffs to start veteran insider McDyess, and Blair, who will rise from the second round, enter the bench. But. It has to be said that McDyess is also a short inside line. His height of 2 meters 06 is only better than Blair who claims to wear two meters in shoes. In the first round of the Hornets, McDyess has not encountered any challenges. But today , I hope this veteran can withstand the firepower of both black and white bears!"

As soon as Kerr finished speaking, the Grizzlies launched their first offense! The basketball has been conducted on the perimeter a few times, but the Grizzlies are actually just waiting for Randolph to take a position. Randolph was also very active, he didn't want to lose face in front of Link and everyone. Faced with Duncan's remarks, the only thing Big Black Bear thinks is to respond with actions!

Duncan was expressionless, and stubbornly resisted Randolph, who was full of flesh. He did not gnash his teeth, nor did he look nervous. It's as if he is just an unknown person.

This is Duncan. His calmness on the court and his amusement off the court should not be confused.

Randolph wanted to stabilize his position, then raised his right hand! Conley immediately dropped the ball in, and the Grizzlies would attack the inside as soon as they came up!

"Randov received the basketball, can Duncan effectively prevent this attack!"

The audience, including Steve Kerr, stood up. Who would have thought that the biggest highlight of today's game was actually staged from the beginning.

Randolph pushed back twice, but Duncan was unmoved. He is as solid as a rock and will not give up on the defensive end! Those things Duncan said yesterday were not joking with Randolph! This guy is a typical off-court game, a cruel man on the court!

Randolph gritted his teeth, and he also remembered that when he played the Spurs for the second time in the regular season this season, his first few offenses were covered by Duncan. Duncan doesn't eat too much, and he is surprisingly accurate in judging Randolph's timing. That day, it was the third double-double of his career with Link's 24 points and 10 assists that the Grizzlies won the game.

But Randolph doesn't believe in evil, Duncan's performance has been so poor throughout the season, he can't always change as soon as he gets here!

So Randolph suddenly took Duncan as the axis and quickly turned and walked to the basket!

Duncan was not thrown away, but kept pressing Randolph with his chest, not allowing Lang to break through comfortably. And raise his arms at any time to prevent him from taking a shot while also blocking Randolph's passing route.

"Damn!" Randolph was hidden by Duncan. This No. 21 defense is much tighter than Ibaka, who only knows to use his body~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In just one round, Randolph realized it. The gap between the Thunder and the Spurs, and Link’s sentence, "Your opponent is Tim Duncan."

But now I know this, it's too late. Randolph forced a layup against Duncan with his elbow, but he still couldn't escape the bad luck of being blocked.

"Fuck!" With a crisp sound, Duncan pressed Randolph's layup to the backboard!

Duncan has been selected to the best defensive team for 13 consecutive seasons! Although this record is broken this year, it does not mean that Duncan is a bully!

The basketball rebounded sharply after hitting the backboard, and veteran McDyess had long been stuck firmly to protect the rebound. Afterwards, he passed Ginobili directly and the Spurs counterattack was formed instantly!

Popovich has been trying a faster attacking rhythm since the beginning of this year, which is why he needs Ginobili to start.

The Argentine Demon Sword slammed the Grizzlies' hinterland and used a very confusing European move to sway the chasing Tony Allen, and easily counterattacked the layup.

At that moment, the stands of the ATT center seemed to roll over. What a dark horse, what a miracle. In the ATT center, all have to be buried!

Randolph looked back at Duncan, only to find that the other person was still expressionless, which made him even more angry.

The Grizzlies’ first scoring point collapsed on the first offense, but Hollins was not worried. He looked up at Link and made a few gestures.

Wouldn't the problem be solved by changing a scoring point? Duncan is indeed old and determined, but Spurs small forward Richard Jefferson is not necessarily so.

Hollins believed that the guy must have not forgotten the horror of being dominated by Link during the regular season.
