On May 4, two hours before the start of the Western Conference semifinals.

Popovich sat in the locker room in the Rose Garden, trying to think about one thing—should I put on a laminated armor or braces......

There is a consensus among coaches across the league that the most dangerous thing in the world is to coach games in the Rose Garden.

You don't know when the basketball will fly out, and you don't know if Wayne will come to save the ball, and of course you can't know if Wayne will give you a chance when he saves the ball.

Before the game, it was cool for a while, and if you didn't pay attention, you would be cremated.

After much thought, Popovich decided to at least wear braces......

If the tooth is broken by Wayne again, the speech should leak again.

On the other hand, Sun Dasheng felt that he was really under pressure.

It stands to reason that as a player who only plays about ten minutes per game, he doesn't have much to stress.

Even if Ginobili is the best sixth man of the year, most of the time it is not the Great Sage and Manu opposite.

The reason why he is under a lot of pressure is because this security task is not easy to do!

came to the NBA to play for a season, and the great sage knows a little bit about these shady scenes in the NBA.

And Popovich and the Spurs are repeat offenders again, especially in the playoffs, and they may not know who they will attack.

If Wei Ge is yin, the Olympics will not be able to ......

Sun Yue is still not mixed!?

As the deputy captain of the security team, Sun Yue's task is to escort Wei Ge and make it to the Olympics safely.

Therefore, the Great Sage is now under great pressure, as if facing a great enemy.

The biggest crisis in the security career!

"What are you doing? How nervous. Wayne patted the Great Sage on the shoulder, and the Great Sage realized that his hands were clenched and their joints had turned white.

"Huh? Nothing, hehe. What's that, Wei Ge, you have to pay attention to playing spurs. If the other party deliberately provokes you to want to redeem the child, you must hold back.

If you really want to do it, I'm ......

I'll let Mickey get on! ”

Milicic: ???

"It's okay, I know what to do. Don't think about this mess and prepare for the game. It's not easy to play spurs. ”

Wayne smiled, it was reassuring to have a security team around here.

But after getting rid of Bowen's pest a few years ago, Spurs aren't really that dangerous.

Although Horry is also yin, he is not as insidious as Bowen.

With a little attention, it is still possible to avoid extraneous branches.

Wayne cares more about Duncan now, and against this historic PF, Wayne doesn't dare to take it lightly.

Although Wayne has already won the MVP, ......

His old Deng Tou is the elite!

Don't relax!

Others can underestimate Duncan, but Wayne won't.

You think the 32-year-old is at the end of his career, but he's still in his rookie year.

When Wayne entered with his teammates, he found that the Spurs players were already warming up.

Wayne and Popovich glanced at each other, and Popovich was angry at the sight of Wayne.

The penguin man looked so much like me in the last slam dunk contest, and I haven't settled accounts with you yet!

Duncan, as calm as ever, is stretching his legs with the help of a trainer.

It seemed that he also knew that this time he and Wayne would inevitably experience a fierce battle.

Wayne had just met with Duncan when the mission system came to do something.

"Ding!

Mission: Establish the position of the number one active player!

Mission Goal: Win the series and outperform Duncan in terms of combined performance and averages per game.

Reward: Reach Gold Level. ”

Wayne:!!!

Can I deliberately not complete this task......

According to the usual style of this system, badges or skill upgrades often mean that the effect of skills will be enhanced.

Well, that is to say, the effect of hair loss will also be enhanced......

I can't help it!

In the future, my sister-in-law will really become a bald cord in seconds?

But when I think of my sister-in-law's picture of being touched on the head in the West last season, I knocked my Tuyao to death......

I'm sorry, the system forced me, it's all given too much!

At the start of the game, the starting lineup of the Spurs was Kort Brown. Thomas, Duncan, Finley, Manu, and Parker.

During the regular season, the Spurs used Barry Sr. to play the starting No. 2 more often.

Manu came out as the best sixth man

But in the playoffs, Popovich clearly didn't dare to do that.

He needs the Spurs to be on fire from the start, otherwise it will be a matter of minutes for the Trail Blazers to pull away the score.

At the start of the game, Wayne fought for the ball from Oberto.

Duncan clung to Wayne as soon as he came up, and although Wayne played the No. 5 position, he still did not go to the low post to fight Duncan, but pulled outside the three-point line.

Cannon calls for Mickey to cover, and since Mickey has range, Oberto has to follow.

As a result, Cannon broke through with cover and handed the ball to Mitch.

Mickey took two steps and cut into the basket and scored a direct dunk to take the lead for the Trail Blazers.

"Ah, this ......" Popovich was stunned, how to change anyone can abuse our center!

Although Mitch's weight has soared over the years, he is still more mobile than Oberto.

True. Fat dead horses are faster than camels.

And Pao'er's feeding is also comfortable and just right, in fact, Parker, who has just been experienced, has already deliberately blocked Pao'er's pass, which can be said to have left only a gap for Pao'er.

But after the cannon passes through this gap, it is a sea of stars.

The Spurs' first offense went straight to Dund.

Duncan leaned his back against Wayne and felt the defense behind him.

Energetic!

In the 2005 Finals, Duncan could teach Wayne every minute whenever he got this comfortable opportunity to play Wayne.

But now it's different, and when Duncan leans back, the resistance behind him is fierce.

The nerd didn't fight with Wayne brute-force, but suddenly turned around and leaned on Wayne for a slow three-step layup.

At the last interfer, Wayne jumped at the right time.

In the past, the attributes of strength and interior defense were not enough, but now that the strength is up, the attributes of interior defense are also 70. Truth be told, Wayne's ability to protect the rim one-on-one may be stronger than his ability to help defend it.

Because Wayne is also equipped with the gold "Penalty Zone Deterrence" and "Tough Defense" badges.

One can improve the interference effect when interfering with a shot in the three-second zone, and the other can affect the ball carrier as long as there is physical contact.

That puts Wayne's three-second zone defense solid.

It used to be unbearable, so these two badges couldn't fully make up for Wayne's disadvantage.

But right now, it's very difficult to single Wayne in the three-second zone.

What's more, in an era when there are no more low-level big killers.

When the small-ball era comes, those so-called center revival hopes, such as Towns, Cousins and the Great, if they play alone with Wayne in the three-second zone, it will really be called education.

Duncan missed the first shot, and Wayne grabbed the rebound and quickly gave it to Paul.

The speed of the cannon's advancement makes people feel as if the video has been accelerated.

Seeing that the cannon drove straight into the three-second zone, everyone on the Spurs shrank back.

With a light pass from the high-speed gun, the ball was sent to Yuduka in the bottom right corner.

Yudoka did not hesitate and took the ball and threw it.

So far in the playoffs, Yudoka's three-point shooting rate is as high as an exaggerated 52.2%!

This is mainly because Yudoka basically gets open opportunities, but it also shows that Yudoka's open three points are really stable.

He may not be able to score a few points in a game, but it is enough to take advantage of the few empty spots.

Well, Wayne asked Sun Yue just that. Whatever you say to become a star, it's, you can defend, you can shoot three-pointers, you can learn from the experience.

"Brush!"

Before Wayne could make a move, the Trail Blazers had already gone 5-0.

Popovich was standing on the sidelines with a frown, telling his players: "I'm upset, I'm angry!" ”

However...... It's useless for you to be angry, and as soon as you put on your face, Finley was snatched by the cannon.

In this attack, Duncan took the ball in the low post and saw that the opportunity was not very good, so he returned the ball to Finley.

Although Yuduka, who defended Finley, was not very good at tackling with the ball, he overlooked one point - he was too close to the gun!

Pao'er's steal doesn't mean only stealing his own position, if you dare to enter his defensive range, his hand will dare to dig your eggs...... Ball.

The top thieves around the top warriors are playing around with you?

"Smack!"

"Eh, Cao!?" Before Finley could react, he was slapped off by the cannon next to him, and by the time Cannon and Parker turned around to chase the ball, Cannon had already taken the ball and started to sprint.

That's a man who counts by the second, after all.

This time, the cannon directly flew and buckled, ending the attack by himself.

At this time, Duncan heard the sound of "Woo Woo Woo".

Wayne next to him was actually sniffing!

"The temperature of this air conditioner is a little low, a little cold." Seeing Duncan look over, Wayne smiled at him.

"This ......" is probably the most rare card Duncan has ever had in his life.

Well, if anyone knows this story, it's a good story.

Wayne was in the matchup with Duncan, and Wayne was playing too easily...... I was caught by the cold!

Whoever is in the opposite position with Duncan must be tired and sweaty and panting.

Only Wayne, who was so cold that his nose was runny.

This is actually not to blame Duncan, because the Trail Blazers' offense was over before the ball reached Wayne's hands.

What can Wayne do? He also wants to get some data, but this task is still on hold.

was beaten 7-0 by the Trail Blazers, and the old thief hurriedly called a timeout.

But after returning, the situation has not improved.

Because Wayne is finally starting to exert his strength.

After several rounds of play, Wayne finally held the ball on the offensive end of the day to Duncan, and the fans cheered the whole stadium.

The highlight of this series is the matchup between Wayne and Duncan!

Wayne attacked with the ball from beyond the three-point line, which made Duncan uncomfortable.

If you want to say a few years younger, it's not a problem for Duncan to start defending from the outside.

But now Duncan, who is at the end of this rookie, is not completely unstoppable from the outside, but it is still a little difficult.

Wayne will not go to the inside hand-to-hand fight with Duncan unless he has a hole in his head, and the strength of Dun Nerd is underestimated!

He can be read as the number four and written as the number five.

Although his pace was a little slower, Duncan's consciousness was still outstanding. As soon as Wayne took a step, Duncan reacted immediately.

This thing has not won the best defensive player in his career so far, not because of his regret, but because of the best defensive player award.

Wayne just took a step forward and saw Duncan blocking the breakthrough route, so he was ready to jump and shoot.

"Got you!" Duncan was secretly happy in his heart, and then threw his center of gravity forward to interfere with the shot.

Outcome...... Wayne just made a feint to worship the Buddha!

At the moment when Duncan's center of gravity was premised, Wayne captured this change in center of gravity and accelerated to the basket.

Wayne managed to beat one of the league's best defensive players in one-on-one!

Well, Duncan is one of the best defensive players in league history.

But it's also true that he rarely encounters such an all-round opponent.

A big man who can smoothly make realistic Buddha worship movements between the marches, Duncan said that he will see you for a long time.

Oberto was very brave enough to shrink to the basket, but his bravery didn't pay off.

Wayne rushed up and smashed a two-handed dunk through Oberto, and on the first offense, Wayne completely destroyed the Spurs' interior line.

"Wayne is completely unfazed against Duncan, let's see how TD fights back!"

Bill. Wharton shook his head.

In the last round, Yao Ming had already pressed Shaq to the ground and rubbed it.

In this round, is it Duncan's turn?

In this way, the interior line of the NBA will be completely dominated by Chinese players.

Terrifying!

Well, maybe this will make the small ball era come sooner?

If the inside line of the United States is not good, we will hold the outside line!

Of course, even if something like this does happen, Wei Ge is not afraid.

If you are a coach, I can also play.

At the end of the first quarter, the Trail Blazers went into the break with an eight-point advantage.

Wayne scored 6 points in a single quarter, all of which were scored from outside the three-point line.

Duncan knew Wayne's three-point threat, so he didn't give him a chance to shoot a three-pointer.

But in this way, it is not good to prevent Wayne's breakthrough.

It's embarrassing.

Duncan, on the other hand, scored only 2 points in the first quarter of the game, shooting 1-of-4.

It's not stupid.

In the second quarter, the Spurs stepped up their physical confrontation, hoping to disrupt the rhythm of the Trail Blazers and, by the way, disrupt the Trail Blazers' overly hot shooting touch today.

This really worked, and it was hard to maintain the feeling under strong confrontation.

But the Trail Blazers attacked the basket and didn't suffer.

Paul hit the interior again and again, Parker did not have Duncan's protection, and the defensive level plummeted.

Fortunately, Duncan recovered a little bit on the offensive end in this quarter, which stabilized the point difference...... 12 points!

Wayne had 13 points in the half and Duncan had eight in the half.

Both in terms of stats and performance, Wayne is better than Duncan.

Duncan may not want to hand over the baton in his hand just yet, but Wayne is already scrambling for it.

At the beginning of the third quarter, a long-range shot from the cannon knocked out of the frame.

Because it bounced too far, no one got the basketball in the first place.

Wayne quickly rushed up to catch the ball, but unexpectedly, the basketball bounced quickly, and Wayne just rubbed his fingers against the basketball!

Seeing that the basketball was about to go out of bounds, Wayne didn't hesitate much and jumped directly!

"Ouch, I'm Cao!" Popovich saw Wayne lunge at him, and his face suddenly turned pale and pale!

At that moment, as if he had rejuvenated, he quickly stood up and ran to the side, completely unable to see that it was an old man with gray hair.

Not only Popovich, but all the players on the Spurs bench ran out in a second, quickly freeing up a safe landing area for Wayne.

Old Barry had just gotten up and was about to run, when he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing.

Take a closer look, hey, this is not an old coach!

If Wayne runs after Popovich, the old man may be able to fight Bolt for 100 meters.

Wayne did his best to get the ball back, then fell to the chair and fell upside down.

The basketball that was fished back happened to fall into the hands of the substitute Dasheng, who received the ball and threw it, and hit the three-point shot!

After this three-point shot, it means that the Trail Blazers have pulled the difference in the direction of 20 points!

"Wei! He really worked hard, and he fought hard to create a second chance to attack. But...... The reaction of the Spurs bench was indeed a bit exaggerated......"

Old Thief Vicky: You haven't eaten the iron elbow of justice, otherwise you wouldn't be exaggerating.

At this point, the Spurs are in a desperate situation.

If the Trail Blazers really go into the fourth quarter with a 20-point lead, the game will basically end early.

Ginobili finally exerted his strength at this time, and the difference was narrowed to 11 points with a commotion operation.

It allowed the Spurs to survive before the start of the final quarter.

There is still suspense in the game, but the Blazers obviously don't want to grind it any longer.

So before the start of the fourth quarter, McMillan gave Wayne the task of finishing the game!

In the fourth quarter, Wayne began to one-on-one with Duncan many times, and the fans were hooked.

To be honest, Duncan, although a little embarrassed in the first three quarters of the game, did not let Wayne do whatever he wanted.

Especially in the third quarter, which allowed Wayne to score only two points.

But in the fourth quarter, when Duncan's fitness had dropped severely, Wayne couldn't have beaten him too easily.

Whether it's from beyond the three-point line, mid-range or in the low post, Wayne can pull offense.

With Wayne's steady output, the Spurs have been unable to effectively close the score.

It seems that maintaining the current point difference and not being further widened is all they can do.

In the last two minutes of the fourth quarter, Wayne once again singled out Duncan with the ball.

Duncan opened his arms, but his center of gravity could not be pressed too low.

His eyes were bright, but the large droplets of sweat on his forehead were a true reflection of his current physical condition.

Wayne made a couple of tri-threat steps, but Duncan was unmoved.

Finally, Wayne suddenly took a big step to the left!

Duncan hurriedly followed, but unexpectedly, Wayne changed to the right with a change of hands behind his back!

Well, a No. 4 changed hands behind during the breakout......

However, this still did not stump Duncan, he immediately adjusted his center of gravity and pounced, immediately gave Wayne a confrontation, and stayed on Wayne's side.

"Bang!"

Wayne was pushed by Duncan, and his pace couldn't help but slow.

"It's tough!" Wayne gritted his teeth, the No. 21 rookie is really a tough fighter.

If Wayne dares to make a layup so easily, Duncan is confident that he can take the ball down!

But just when Duncan thought Wayne would continue to go deep into the basket, he suddenly made a sharp stop and turned around with his right foot as the axis.

"What!?" Duncan didn't expect Wayne to have a routine, he knew that he had to seal it, but he couldn't seal it in front of Wayne's eyes as soon as his physical strength was close to exhaustion.

The stupid brain can still keep up, but the body is really too slow in the fourth quarter.

Wayne then turned around and made a jumper and threw the ball away with ease.

The basketball crossed Duncan's fingertips, and Wayne finally crossed the mountain of Duncan.

In '05, he defeated Duncan to win the championship, and people said that Wayne took advantage of the system and was purely lucky.

In terms of personal ability, Wayne will be exposed to Dancan.

But now, Wayne can confidently tell everyone: "I beat the great Tim. Duncan. ”

The basketball goes into the net, and Wayne lands.

The 27th point in a single game was in the bag, and the full-court score difference became 21 points.

The game is over!

"It was the game-killing goal and the Spurs didn't have a chance. In the final two minutes, they couldn't have recovered 21 points.

Wayne put on a perfect performance in the fourth quarter as he beat Tim. Duncan, helped the team to their first win of the series! ”

Popovich took a timeout, and Duncan did not go off immediately, but crossed his waist and stood in place.

He looked at the 99, who was high-fived with his teammates, and sighed, feeling the lights around him dim.

"Beep~"

A few minutes later, the electronic beep sounded.

At 105-82, the Spurs were slaughtered by 23 points on the road by the Trail Blazers.

Among them, Wayne scored 27 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks, while Duncan only had 17 points, 8 rebounds and 1 block.

Judging from the data and on-the-spot performance, at least tonight, Wayne is the existence of Duncan!

For the first time in the playoffs, Popovich found that Duncan was not dominant.

Just when Popovich was stunned, Duncan had already walked down with a blank face.

"It's okay Pop, we still have a chance." The 32-year-old Duncan didn't give in to Wayne.

The rage bar of the first PF in history is almost full......
