April 30, 9 p.m. Western Time.

This time point is usually when the housewives turn on the TV and watch TV dramas.

But for fans, it's a rare festival of the year.

From April to June every year, the NBA's playoffs are a big meal.

There is no ease of the regular season, no tacit understanding of the regular season, no fancy tricks of the regular season, only the most intense and bloody fight.

Even in the year the Pacers won the championship in 2004, although their defense was ugly enough to make people want to cry, the toughness and resoluteness of steel and concrete were equally stunning.

In this year's NBA playoffs, in the first half of April, everyone thought that this year's East-West matchup should actually be the Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors.

The Cavaliers have two supergiants, James and Irving, and the Golden State Warriors have the best offensive system in the league.

The odds of both winning the championship are about the same, and it's no surprise who gets it.

Even now, the Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors are known as the favorites to win the championship.

It's just that it's no longer the only one.

Because the momentum of the Los Angeles Lakers is very ferocious, so ferocious that people have to be impressed.

Although the Trail Blazers can't fully test whether the Lakers are paper tigers or real ferocious beasts, the next Western Conference semifinals, the Spurs, who have not missed the playoffs in 18 years, are the best tester.

Duncan, who had just turned 40 five days ago, was said to be in his final season this year.

Even if Vicky wanted him to play for two more seasons, even if it was to be a substitute to bring in new players, Duncan turned down the offer.

It's just that he will join the coaching staff of his mentor Vicky and start to continue his basketball career.

In this life, it is impossible for Duncan to be separated from the NBA, or it can be said that he will basically not be separated from the Spurs.

Even the owner of the Spurs didn't dare to say that Duncan should leave, otherwise the fans would have smashed his home the next day, and they would do it every day.

But don't look at Duncan's imminent retirement, but as long as he still plays, he will definitely do his best.

Duncan is one of the best players in the NBA, and Karl Malone was much inferior to him back then.

Now he has given more of his offensive duties to Kawhi Leonard and Aldridge, focusing on defense and playmaking, but there is no regression in both areas.

But the only drawback of the Spurs is that they are still too old.

Duncan is 40, Ginobili is 38, Tony Parker is 32, Aldridge is 31, Danny Green is 28, and only one is 23.

The average starting age is around 33 years old.

This is a new addition to Kawhi Leonard, otherwise the average age of previous seasons would have been even older.

The Los Angeles Lakers aren't much better.

Iverson is 40 years old, Kobe Bryant is 37 years old, Roy Hibbert and Louis Williams are both 29 years old, only Russell is 20 years old, and Shen Huan is 17 years old, which greatly reduces the average age.

On the cards, it must be the Lakers who shine first in the playoffs, and Shen Huan can definitely beat Kowai Leonard.

But the problem is that the playoffs are more about experience and the ability to control the pace of the game.

Some youth armies can certainly rely on their bravery to attack, but if you encounter a master who controls the rhythm, you can't play your strength at all, and the fight is uncomfortable, it will be bad.

I can't play half of my skills, I hold my breath and feel uncomfortable, I am naturally easy to be impulsive and irritable, so after a few more times, I will naturally have an abnormal mentality, and it is possible to be punished directly.

That's how many super-rookies end up in their first playoff season.

The only thing is that Duncan is different, his first season is like a veteran who has played in the playoffs for 20 years, and he has been like this for ten or twenty years from beginning to end.

Apart from him, there hasn't been a second person like this in recent years.

Therefore, everyone is not optimistic that Shen Huan can exert his true strength under the defense of old demons like Duncan and Ginobili.

In contrast, Kawhi Leonard's exit was much better.

Kobe Bryant and Iverson are not superstars known for their defense, so Kowhi Leonard can play a little more.

From the perspective of head coaches, the Spurs' ** Vic is more than one level higher than Byron Scott.

In terms of on-the-spot command and change, Vicky was able to knock the three-time championship ring winner down with one hand.

On the whole, everyone thinks that the Spurs' chances of winning are still higher.

But what about the facts?

From the very beginning of tonight, Staples Arena was in a frenzied shouting frenzy.

The reason is very simple, after Roy Hibbert's first scramble was successful, Shen Huan grabbed the ball and attacked as always, passing Danny Green all the way, and directly elbowed the second Ginobili who made small moves in front of him.

None of this is the most surprising.

The most surprising thing was that when Shen Huan jumped high and dunked, he faced Duncan's vacant block.

As a result, Shen Huan smashed the ball directly into the basket and dunked Duncan hardly.

it!

Seeing this situation, Nicholson stood up directly from his seat with his head in his hands, and yelled frantically.

The fans present also let out earth-shattering cries after being shocked for a second.

Oh, my God!

This is the Stone Buddha Duncan!

This is Duncan, the absolute top three super power forward in NBA history!!

Although he is 40 years old, although he often becomes a backdrop, it is only the superstars who can beat him.

Shen Huan is only in the third game, and Shen Huan, who has only played two NBA games, actually rode Duncan in the process of hitting hard!?

These mortals, of course, don't know what it means to be a good professional basketball (historical-level) and how murderous basketball skills are.

The only reason the boy was able to do it was because he jumped higher than Duncan, and he suppressed Duncan in the air, and when Duncan fell, he grabbed the basket with both hands and rode on Duncan's body.

Such a scene not only stunned the fans, but Duncan himself did not dare to imagine.

If it was a hard fight and Duncan was too tired to do it, then he could still accept such a riding buckle.

But that's just the beginning!

His physical strength was at its fullest, how could he lose to this young man?

To tell the truth, Duncan really felt like he had hit an iron wall just now, and he was knocked out of the way.

This kind of powerful and incomparable power collided with him, and he felt a little powerless.

If it was 10 years ago, he would definitely not have lost so badly, but after all, he is a 40-year-old man, and he can't bear the years anymore!

Barkley, who was in charge of speaking, stood up at this time and shouted loudly: "Look! I said Shen Huan must be able to do it! You still think he is too young! This is the strength of a genius, this is the hideousness of a genius! He is stronger than Michael!!"

This old fat man has completely forgotten how mocking and dissatisfied Shen Huan was when he appeared on the NBA court.

Anyway, now that he has become a hardcore supporter of Shen Huan, the statement that Shen Huan can surpass Jordan with one crown is what he clamored for.

"Huh, what was Shen Huan talking to Duncan after jumping down? Duncan smiled? Wow...... He also used a touching ...... on Shen Huan" Reggie Miller also laughed, "Listen to the screams and reprimands of a group of female stars on the sidelines! They are scolding Duncan for being shameless, wanting to turn Shen Huan, who has such thick hair, into a bald head, and then lower Shen Huan's appearance!"

Barkley was surprised: "Really, Hollywood stars, when did they like Chinese men? Even if he is very good at playing, shouldn't they like a mighty and strong man like me?"

"You?"

Reggie Miller smiled and didn't bother with this guy.
