Hearing Mark Jackson say this, Maddie and Chris Webb couldn't help but shudder. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Basketball is a sport that belongs to men, and the NBA is a stage that belongs to men.

Or more accurately, the NBA is a muscle-stick stage.

Asking for a life in the NBA, without physical fitness, everything is empty talk.

All gorgeous techniques are built on the basis of physical fitness. If the height of technique determines the upper limit of a basketball player, then the strength of physical fitness determines his lower limit.

As the world's most competitive basketball temple, the NBA players who seek a living here have physical fitness far beyond ordinary people. It's just that there is a gap of many times more than ordinary people.

For the average person, NBA players are muscle-sticks, superior to each other, and a large part of the factors are determined by physical fitness.

If God locks the door of your house, then the windows of your house are absolutely unlocked and can be opened. Otherwise, you who are truly good for nothing would not exist in this world - and God is somewhat fair in this regard.

NBA players have far more physical qualities than ordinary people, so in terms of the degree of mental development, they are not as good as ordinary people. It's not that their IQ is inferior to ordinary people, but their use of the mind is not as good as ordinary people.

Because it takes a lot of time to train the body, the training of the mind is naturally delayed - the so-called "muscles are trained in the brain", this is how it comes about.

When an NBA player trains not only his body, but also his mind - he begins to know how to maximize his strengths and how to limit the opponent's play to the greatest extent; Know how to use rules, not be used by them.

It is not an exaggeration to describe such a player as "terrible".

Because his brain ability is a cut above other players, he can still play efficiently when his body is aging and his form is declining, and it is not an exaggeration to call him an evergreen in the league.

Now there is such a guy in the NBA, the No. 21 rookie of the Spurs who gets older and more demonic, Tim Duncan.

Duncan joined the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA in 1997 as a No. 1 overall pick, and this season is now his 19th season in the NBA.

Among the active players, only Kobe Bryant has been playing in the NBA longer than him - as a representative of the 96 Golden Generation, this season is the 20th season of Kobe's NBA career.

Kobe Bryant seems to have a second spring this season, and his data has improved a lot compared with last season. It may have something to do with his change of style and position.

But if you don't count this season, Kobe's performance is much lower than at his peak. Of course, this is the power of time, and no one can do anything about it.

Duncan seems to be one of the few exceptions.

Duncan is the typical representative of "rookie is the peak, a peak for more than ten years", and after him, there are the mysterious 183 men who sneak up on the floor of the West Duel.

Duncan, known as the "Great Basic Skill", is not very popular, perhaps this is why he seems to be able to escape from the hands of the years.

Compared with him, Kobe Bryant, who had a strong style of football at his peak, could no longer fly to play on the basket after his body aged, and the change from flying to floor flow was too obvious.

Duncan's bounce wasn't very good, so he chose to be a floor streamer, and he has been since the beginning of his career. Coupled with his simple style of play, it has never changed, so Duncan has been the same on the court for 19 years.

After more than ten years of career, it is not easy to dominate the league in the three or five years of its peak. A lot of NBA players can't do that in their lifetime.

And Duncan, for more than ten years of his career, can be said to have been ruling the league. Saying "The future is yours" to LeBron James, who single-handedly reached the Finals, may just be a comfort. Because even if James went to the Miami Heat and teamed up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, he still lost to Duncan, who was in the twilight of his career.

The 1998-99 season was the second season of Duncan's career. This season, as a sophomore, Duncan helped the Spurs win the first championship in team history with a 4-1 aggregate score against the New York Knicks. In the five games of the Finals, Duncan, who averaged 27.4 points, 14 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game, won the MVP of the Finals. At that time, he was only 23 years and 61 days old, becoming the youngest FMVP after Magic Johnson.

In the 2002-03 season, Duncan averaged 23.3 points, 12.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.93 steals per game in the regular season, was named to the All-NBA and All-Defensive Team, and became the first player since Jordan to win the regular season MVP. In the finals, the Spurs defeated the Nets to win the championship again, Duncan averaged 24.2 points, 17 rebounds, 5.33 blocks and 5.3 assists per game in 6 finals games, winning the second Finals MVP trophy in his career, and the 6th game of the coronation was 21 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists and 8 blocks.

In the 2004-05 season, Duncan was once again named to the All-Defensive Team and All-Defensive Team. In the finals, the Spurs won the championship with a difficult victory over the Pistons in the tie-break, and Duncan averaged 20.6 points, 14.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game, and won the Finals MVP trophy for the third time.

In the 2006-07 season, Duncan was once again named to the All-Defensive Team and All-Defensive Team. The Spurs swept the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James 4-0 in the Finals to win another championship. Duncan's finals statistics were 18.25 points, 11.5 rebounds, 3.73 assists and 2.25 blocks, but the FMVP was snatched away by French sports car Tony Parker.

The Spurs have won three championships in these six years, although they have not won consecutive championships, but the miracle of winning the championship in a single year is also unique in the NBA.

In the 2013-14 season, the Finals were between the Spurs and the Heat, and the Spurs won the championship, and this season was the 17th season of Duncan's career.

As many years as he entered the NBA, he ruled the NBA for as many years, and Duncan was a living miracle. He would not have been able to do this if he had relied on his physical fitness alone, because he was also a mortal and could not live forever.

But what is it that makes him gray in time and still be able to hang young people?

Quite simply, it's his mind.

Duncan is a Master of Psychology.

Now, a master's degree is nothing. In today's society, masters are everywhere, and college students are not as good as dogs. Because the popularity of education is getting higher and higher, the knowledge level of all mankind has improved by leaps and bounds.

But Duncan did not make a move in today's era of universal education, he entered Wake Forest University in the United States in 1993 to major in psychology. At that time, college students were quite rare.

After graduating from university, Duncan continued to study on his own, successfully completed the master's defense, and successfully obtained a master's degree certificate in psychology from Wake Forest University.

Without comparison, it's hard to understand how powerful Duncan is.

Kobe Bryant entered the NBA after graduating from high school, which means he only has a high school degree. This is true of Tracy McGrady, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, and others.

A master's degree of superiority in a group of high school students is like a college student standing out in a group of junior high school students.

The gap between them is unimaginable. That's why Duncan has secured the No. 1 forward position in history before he retires.

Against most NBA players, Duncan is able to crush in terms of IQ. Coupled with his extremely outstanding physical condition and solid basic skills, it seems that it is not difficult to dominate the NBA for so long.

Duncan is also a gifted man, so he has time to train his mind in addition to his external body, skills, etc.

The mind is easy to use, which makes his mentality on the court extremely stable, and the name of "Stone Buddha" comes from this.

Spurs legend David Robinson once said of Duncan-

"Duncan was still in college at the time, and our Dream Team played against them at the time, and that was around 1996, and there were me, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Shaquille O'Neal on the inside, and Duncan scored 22 points on our heads. I remember I was a little nervous and he was very calm on the pitch and I was like, "This kid is really good, and I was very impressed." Later he went to the NBA, he became my teammate, and we often went head-to-head in practice, and I thought I was good defensively, but I couldn't stop him from scoring. I knew he was going to be something very special. But people think I've taught him a lot and give me a lot of compliments for it, and I'm very glad they think so. ”

There is a lot of information in Robinson's words.

Duncan's calmness may have been innate. He is still a college student, and the dream team in front of him is full of America, and he can still be so calm. It's no wonder that when he came to the NBA later, he has always been such a "facial paralysis" image.

Robinson himself revealed that he didn't give Duncan much. At that time, Robinson, although his form had declined due to injury, from the position of a top NBA star to a first-class star, he had a wealth of experience that would not be lost.

And he can't even give Duncan much to give him like this, which shows that Duncan really landed in the NBA at full level, and he is a real rookie, that is, the peak!

Kawhi Leonard, who inherited Duncan's facial paralysis, said of his predecessor Duncan-

"The concentration that Duncan has on the court and the way he approaches every game has had a big impact on me. He's been great on both ends of the floor, he wants to lock up his opponents, he wants to play great team defense, and when the opponent gets past me, he's on the inside to help defend and the professionalism and mentality that I learned from him has helped me a lot growing up. ”

In addition to mentioning Duncan's calm mentality on the court, Leonard also mentioned Duncan's defense.

Duncan's defense is probably the strongest in history. Because he was named to the NBA All-Defensive Team 15 times, it is a record in the NBA.

――――――

Mark Jackson details the horrors behind Yi Feng's moves in the game, reminding Maddie and Chris Webb of the fear of being at the mercy of the terrible Duncan.

Although Maddy faced Duncan and the Spurs, and once allowed him and his fans to blow a miracle performance of 35.13 seconds for a lifetime, he actually suffered most of the time he faced the Spurs.

And Weber, as the No. 4 position, is directly opposite Duncan, so he can naturally experience the turbulent waves hidden under Duncan's calm face more deeply.

Now both have retired, and Duncan, the former big demon king, is still active on the field as an evergreen. Even if it is difficult to be an opponent in this life, every time they recall the terrible things about Duncan, behind their helplessness, there is still a trace of fear.

After a long silence, Maddie suddenly laughed, "Mark, do you mean that Yi has the potential to become Tim?" ”

Mark Jackson nodded, "Judging from his performance just now, there really is." ”

And Chris Webber was noncommittal, "Duncan is such a great figure, the NBA only has one in sixty years!" Do you think anyone can be the next one? ”

Maddie finally didn't quarrel with Webb anymore, but said to herself: "It's worthy of being a guy I'm optimistic about, and now I'm more and more optimistic about him!" ”

On the commentary bench, several people chatted happily, and on the bench, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr didn't stop talking.

Although the score on the court is now 55-51 and the Warriors are only four points behind, it doesn't look like a big deal. But Kerr knew the Warriors were in trouble.

Curry's state has never returned, or that Moe God is still in a state of confusion. If Curry can't contribute, then the Warriors' offensive firepower will be reduced by at least two or three percent.

Draymond Green was on the verge of a clash with the Heat on the court, and he couldn't be in perfect shape with all the anger in his heart.

And Klay Thompson, Kerr's most reassuring person, seems to no longer reassure him.

Don't look at Thompson all the time like a stuffy gourd, not telling anyone, but in fact, Kerr knows him well. Especially Thompson's abnormal expressions and behaviors on the court just now have made Kerr aware of his psychological state.

When you think about the problems of these people, Cole is one head and two big!

At the start of the season, Kerr's lumbar spine injury had not fully healed. Even the Warriors had to plan to have assistant coach Luke Wharton replace Kerr in the opener to direct the team. In the end, though, Kerr took command of the team's opener.

After that, Cole handed over the whip and recuperated from his wounds. Luke Wharton replaces him in the exercise of the rights and duties of a head coach.

But in this important game, Kerr endured the injury and chose to make a comeback.

It's not that he wants to take the credit for creating a new NBA opening streak in his hands. It's the fear that if he doesn't come back, then this game may not be won.

He didn't care about the media momentum before the game. What he cares about is Yi Feng, and what he cares about is Yi Feng's determination in front of the media.

From the time Yi Feng was just starting out, he began to pay attention to Yi Feng. Yi Feng went all the way, created miracles all the way, and slapped his face all the way, and he saw them all in his eyes.

The better Yi Feng performed, the more frightened he became!

He was surprised to find that if Yi Feng continued to grow at this rate, it would actually become the biggest obstacle to the Warriors' domination of the league!

Although the current Yi Feng is far from being able to hinder the Warriors, if the Warriors take it lightly, there is a good chance that the gutter will capsize. Therefore, in order to ensure that the team can set a new historical record, Kerr endured injuries and paid for coaching.

He was mentally prepared for the difficulty of this game.

But unexpectedly, his psychological preparation was still not enough! (To be continued.) )
