When a team is willing to use a league's No. 1 forward to mark Wayne, it is enough to say that Wayne is good.

In fact, if it had been two or three years later, Duncan would definitely not have followed the three-point line to defend Wayne.

But before 2005, including 2005, Duncan, whose mobility had not yet fully degraded, was actually a power forward defender.

That is, it is common to go out to sweep, turn around and mend your hat, and prevent it from going out.

In the last series, for example, Duncan started out as a defensive Marion, and often went out and delayed when Nash was playing a pick-and-roll.

It wasn't until after 2005 that Duncan, who was plagued by plantar fasciitis, began to defend like a center because of the decline in athleticism, sitting under the basket and waiting for others to send him away.

That's right, sit back and wait for the offend.

Duncan's cap always feels like a "coincidence".

Fans don't often joke that the last 1,000 blocks of Duncan's career are all standing on the ground.

Now, Popovich is still willing to let Duncan go out to defend. Even if the opponent cuts into the penalty area, Duncan can make up for it as soon as possible.

But now the tricky question is, Wayne's three-point shooting is super high!

Duncan wants to defend back, and Wayne's three-point shot is really capable of shooting dead.

So, Popovich's setup today is to keep Duncan by Wayne's side all the time.

O'Neal Jr. and Wayne, Popovich chose the latter.

After Wayne got the first assist, the Spurs pulled a goal back quickly through Ginobili.

This ball Duncan took a cover, and Ginobili came out to shoot.

As the saying goes, the good times are the sports cars, the adversity is the Buddha, and the desperate demons slash the demons!

The Argentine looked to be continuing the outstanding feel of the previous game, and his small jumper was neat.

Seeing that the Pacers didn't make any defensive adjustments to Manu, Spurs fans were happy.

This is not afraid of being slashed by the demon knife yet!

But contrary to the fans, Popovich is now dead.

You guys don't target defending Manu, how can Duncan be liberated!?

How can there be people like you!

Manu is like this, can you give him a little respect!

I dig a pit, how can you Carlisle not jump?

Not particular!

Just because Ginobili can score now doesn't mean he can score like that in the future.

After all...... Manu's physical fitness, in a word that no man likes to hear, is - not lasting!

It's fierce, but it also ends quickly.

Manu people call 20 minutes Jordan, do you think the focus is Jordan?

No, it's 20 minutes!

Short is really short.

In the last game, Manu also began to block and kill gods in the second half. In the first half, it was mainly Duncan.

So, as long as you can seal Duncan today. In the second half, Manu would naturally kill the game.

The question is, can the league's No. 1 PF be prevented?

When Duncan missed for the second consecutive offense, the Pacers told the world: "At the top of Duncan's will be guarded!" ”

This time, the moment Duncan took the ball, four of the Pacers shrank into the three-second zone!

As soon as he burst in, he found that Artai, who was stuck on the edge of the three-second zone, reached over and was about to slice the ball.

So, Duncan immediately raised the basketball high, and directly collected the ball with both hands and chose to go to the basket.

But such a layup is easy to be predicted by the opponent.

So, when Duncan took off, the 99 jumped out at the right time.

"Smack!"

"This ......" Popovich was stupid, Wayne actually covered Duncan!?

That first-year rookie covered the league's No. 1 front at the peak!?

"Nice cap! Wei, he appeared in the most correct position in time! It was a fine team defense, and the Pacers' contraction was decisive.

In the end, it was Wayne who put an end to the Spurs' offense. ”

Duncan's face was still expressionless, and he immediately retreated after being covered, as if it was not him.

As long as I pretend to be innocent enough, it's not me who will be covered!

The Spurs expected the Pacers to continue to play slowly and leisurely, but Duncan had just crossed the halfway line when he saw Payton pass him with the ball.

"You're going too fast!" Duncan shouted in his heart.

The Frenchman Parker had been clinging to Peyton, but Peyton took the initiative to lean in and left Parker behind.

You could say that the Spurs' overall defense is excellent, but Parker's one-man defense is ...... To be honest, it was really the Spurs' system that covered up its shortcomings.

Piercing into the inside, Payton threw himself up and forced himself to hit the frame.

At this time, Bowen, who arrived from the side, rushed out and brutally knocked Payton down in the air.

Others may not be able to see it, but Wayne can clearly see that Bowen is not honest at all with his left arm placed below while raising his right arm, and there is a push movement in the air.

Don't ask Wayne how he knows, this kind of meticulous observation of small movements is an essential quality that every martial arts athlete should have!

Huh? But I seem to be a basketball player...... bar.

In short, Peyton Sr. was pulled and fell to the ground.

But at the same time as the referee's whistle blew, the basketball that was thrown by Payton also fell into the net.

Payton got a three-pointer!

"This is Peyton's last stubbornness! His brave layup earned him a free throw for himself, and that's how the veteran took the lead in the Finals. ”

"You're really too soft, you know? In the '90s, we just called it caressing, Ms. Bowen. ”

Peyton stood up and trash at Bowen with a relaxed look.

But actually...... Peyton died!

The ass almost broke off the flower!

Respect the old and love the young, don't you understand, bastard!

But in front of the villain, no matter how painful you are, you have to stand up.

Because your fearful eyes are the source of their strength!

Bowen didn't get entangled with Peyton much, and as a garbage man, would he care about your little trash talk?

He turned to leave, but as soon as he turned around, he ran headfirst into Wayne.

Wayne didn't know when he ran behind Bowen without saying a word, and after Bowen bumped into Wayne, he looked up and saw that the whole person was petrified in place.

In one sentence, Bowen's mood at this time is...... I'm scared of!

"This ...... You...... What are you doing!? Bowen swallowed and took two steps back.

I don't know why, he felt a dull pain in his stomach again.

Good guys, the sequelae have all been sorted out by Wayne.

"You bumped into me, won't you even say sorry?" Wayne stared straight at Bowen, and the wild wolf that was still vicious just now immediately turned into a little sheep.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, the referee immediately rushed up and separated the two.

This is the NBA Finals, and Stern will not allow any brawls to happen, so the referees are also very sensitive.

"Hmph, you have a kind of move for me to try!" Seeing the referee appear, Bowen was like a dog held by the owner, and instantly became "tough" again.

Anyway, there is a "master", who am I afraid of!?

But in fact, what he was thinking in his heart was: "Can I trouble you to hurry up next time!" Scared to death, you know! ”

However, Wayne walked past the referee and approached Bowen.

Bowen instantly withered again, "Brother Wei, I'm just kidding, you won't really move me, right?" ”

After all, he was chased and beaten by Carter, how hard do you think he can be?

Bowen who plays yin is okay, but Bowen who plays hard may be worse than hard Tedu.

"Don't let me catch you, they won't be able to protect you for the whole time." Wayne pointed at Bowen and bluntly threatened.

This is a person who even the referee dares to intimidate, will he not be able to scare Bowen?

Bowen silently stepped back, it was called an embarrassment.

He swore that he would find a chance to give Wayne a taste of a torn ankle too!

Peyton got back on his feet with the help of others.

After standing at the free throw line, the San Antonio fans booed violently.

But Payton is a man who has seen big scenes after all, and he still shoots the ball steadily in the midst of the fans' interference.

Hit a three-point shot, and the Pacers continued to pull away from the score and occupy an absolute advantage!

Popovich was a little panicked, the Pacers' ability to adjust and the ability of the players to execute the tactics was indeed greatly unexpected by him.

In the following games, Duncan still played very awkwardly on the offensive end.

Regardless of the league's No. 1 front, it is not easy to score goals in the face of at least three people.

And Wayne's side, although he didn't score many points like Duncan, he had a lot of assists!

It's another hanging pass to Xiao Ao, and it's an assist to Wusheng and Atai to cut in.

After Miller came on the court, he also hit shots repeatedly from beyond the three-point line, all of which were opportunities after playing with Wayne.

I have to say that Miller and Payton, two veterans, are in really good shape today.

Payton was not afraid of physical confrontation, and Miller was much more decisive in his shots.

Winning championships, they don't just talk about it.

Today, although Wayne doesn't score much, he is undoubtedly the offensive center of the Pacers.

All the attacks revolve around him, around the premise that Duncan is pulled away!

So, at the end of the half, when Duncan only scored 10 points on 4-of-10 shooting, Wayne entered the locker room with alternative statistics of 9 points and 6 assists!

Fortunately, Manu used a 15-point performance in the half to help the Spurs stabilize the situation, and finally only trailed by 6 points into the halftime break.

Before the league's No. 1 majority, under the defense of the Pacers, he struggled very much!

"The Pacers played very well on offense today, while also containing Duncan on the defensive end, and Coach Carlisle's tweaks had an immediate effect!

If they can also clamp down on Ginobili at the same time, then the victory is hand-to-hand! ”

Well, Ginobili, now the Spurs' offense needs to look up to Ginobili.

But in the first half, because Duncan was locked up, Ginobili had played a lot of time, and to be honest, he was very tired.

So in the dressing room, Carlisle waved his hand: "Continue to beat Thiem in the second half. Duncan! ”

In the second half, Popovich also made some adjustments.

He used Robert. Horry replaced Mohammed, and it was a complete one-star shot.

But...... The Pacers' contraction remains resolute.

At most, Wayne was a little more tired than in the first half and needed to sweep back and forth between the three-second zone and the three-point line.

However, Horry is typical of not playing until the crunch moment.

His three-point shooting percentage today was very mediocre and he simply couldn't pose an effective threat.

And after Horry came out, the Spurs were even more chicken feathers on the defensive end.

You let Robert. Horry went to protect the frame, no kidding.

Little O'Neill had a good time today, and as the captain of the Indian City, he finally led by example for a while.

As a result, Sour Tai began to shout again, "It's empty, it's empty", which Bowen couldn't understand, for fear that Xiao Ao would finish it alone.

Bowen: Why can't you see me or what, I'm in this position now?

By the end of the third quarter, the Pacers had a 14-point lead over the Spurs!

Duncan continued to shoot 0-of-2 in the third quarter and didn't score in the field.

Popovich couldn't have imagined that the Pacers had really found a way to contain Duncan.

Duncan is a match with Wayne today, and Wayne has only scored 13 points so far, which is far from the level he had against the Heat before.

I have to say that Wayne is really not very easy to play under the stunned marking.

But after three quarters, Wayne still got a double-double - 13 points and 10 assists!

His scores were all given by beautiful assists again and again!

"This is Carlisle's anti-Duncan textbook dedicated to the whole league! At the same time, Wayne also told all interior players what it means to be a high-ranking strategy! "After three quarters, Mike. Brin sighed.

Duncan's strategy today is actually not bad, but the Spurs themselves are not competitive outside the three-point line.

Whether it was Horry, Bowen, Parker or Manu, today's three-point shooting was average.

Duncan made a pass inside, and because the space was too small, there were many passing errors.

So far, the Pacers have made the serious Duncan turn into five turnovers, which is unbelievable for a player like Duncan.

After all, so far in this year's playoffs, Duncan's average turnovers per game is only 2.7, and the Pacers are equivalent to directly doubling Duncan's turnovers.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Popovich pulled the demon knife from his waist.

But by this time, the knife was already dull.

Ginobili is now tired and out of breath, and as soon as he came up, he hit two irons in a row, completely not giving Popovich a chance to turn the tables.

So in this fourth quarter, it must be Manu who will kill the game.

But as for who was killed, it is not necessarily.

Bao Wenwen came to save the whole work, and put a little Ao Zhu to help the fun.

But today Wayne stared at Bowen with bad intentions throughout the game, and Bowen really didn't dare to act rashly!

After not watching the first quarter of the game, Bowen was much more honest.

A look, Bowen himself experienced.

If you don't realize it, your eyes will turn into an iron elbow.

Wayne finished really on Bowen. Eye defensive!

Popovich looked at the court with an expression of disbelief.

He didn't expect that the Pacers would really be able to dismember their own spurs!

From offense to defense, from coaching staff decisions to player performances, the Pacers played ...... All like a champion!

Duncan is the undisputed No. 1 in the league, but Popovich is not necessarily the No. 1 coach in the league.

Carlyle told him - it was like someone who had a bad brain.

Ginobili, who was tired and half dead, was completely lost, and Duncan continued to paddle, scoring 2 points in a single quarter!

Popovich: "Deal, I'm going to trade you all!" ”

At the end of the fourth quarter, an angry Bowen finally decided to attack Xiao Ao in a defensive game.

But Wayne arrived in time and knocked Bowen out of the bottom line as if he were playing football.

As a result, Wayne was only given a foul on a rebounding game.

Bowen was choked enough this time, and he estimated that he would be by Wayne before he could get someone else off the court.

Viagra didn't joke with him today.

If Bowen dares to try, he will die.

The whole work is not done, the demon knife is not easy to use, the first stay in the alliance is locked again, what else is there for the Spurs?

Nothing!

"96 to 79, oh my God, it's an unbelievable scoreline! The Pacers were at the SBC Center and slaughtered the Spurs by 17 points! ”

At the end of the game, all the Spurs fans were staring at the court with their heads in their hands.

This Nima ...... The score is reversed!

At this time, there were no fans anymore, and they were embarrassed to hold up the sign that said "2-0".

"Tim. Duncan was completely under control today, scoring just 14 points on 5-of-15 shooting from the field, shooting just 33.3 percent from the field, and committing five turnovers!

Manu played well in the half, but in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter, he seemed a little overwhelmed.

The Argentine scored 25 points today, but shot just 41 percent from the field. Such efficiency is not enough to fill Tim. Duncan's absence. ”

Spurs' data today is really not good-looking, on the other hand, the Pacers, Xiao Ao abused 30 points in the low post, and Atai also scored 19 points.

Miller and Payton, two veterans, also scored 14 points each.

The most important thing is that everyone is quite efficient!

Wayne's passes always find the right spot.

Wayne, on the other hand, had 16 points and 13 assists and only 2 turnovers.

What is the tactical core, even if you are prevented from death, you can get two pairs of data!

This time, Chang Wayne walked up to Popovich and raised his head and laughed.

"You're nothing without Duncan, Craig. With Duncan's team, the pedal dog in the dugout can win! In addition to laughing, Wayne said something that could easily make people's blood pressure spike.

Popovich's face flushed again.

Batman's punch hit the Penguin!

The Pacers reminded Popovich and Duncan that the road to a championship is never easy.

After the game, Xiao O, who scored a game-high 30 points, was named the best of the game. Brin has his own opinion.

"It's an exaggeration, but ...... Whoever can handle this first-year rookie of the Pacers can handle the Pacers! The Spurs should value Wayne the way the Pacers value Duncan! ”

The strongest first grade of the 21st century, worthy of the name!
