Duncan is really old, this is the first time Tang Qian has clearly felt the decline of a generation of historical supergiants.

If Duncan in previous seasons was just accumulating strength and didn't exert much strength in the regular season, then the current Duncan only has so much strength if he really wants to exert his strength. In one of the NBA's favorite phrases, the Spurs' No. 21, Tim. Duncan ran out of gas. His gas tank is almost bottoming out.

The myth of immortality is also about to end here.

Tang Qian found that Duncan was not as good as before and after this season, and he no longer had any scruples, so he began to let go of the offense, and instantly hit the Spurs' basket and interior line into a lot of holes. Seriously, seeing Duncan's bean-sized sweat dripping non-stop, and seeing No. 21 playing professional basketball for so many years, for the first time, he showed a feeling of powerlessness, which made many people on the scene feel some unexplained sadness. St. Anthony's home field commentator Bill. Rand said in the microphone: "Tim has tried his best in this game, but he still hasn't been able to stop Dongfang Hot, it's not that the Lakers' Dongfang Hot is too strong, but our Tim has finally begun to be affected by the magic of Old Man Time." ”

Tim. Duncan, the NBA No. 1 pick in '97, finally had to slow down and choose a place to stop and rest after 19 seasons. People thought he would play for 20 years, but he still chose to leave at the age of 19 seasons, and aging is sometimes really a matter of moments. Although Duncan could only get about 14+9+3+2 data in the regular season last year, he immediately resurrected as soon as the playoffs arrived, becoming an average of about 18+11+3+1+1 per game, and the shooting rate also increased a lot. Coupled with the Spurs' tradition of "playing dead", people naturally believe that Duncan is still strong, but he is just unwilling to waste time in the regular season. But after just one season, Duncan really couldn't do it.

This is the natural aging of the body, a year, not as good as a year.

No matter how you train and maintain, there will always be this day, and if Tang Qian watched it last season, he would definitely know that the Spurs only have 8+7+3+1 data left in the 21st regular season, and the most important thing is ...... He should be "resurrected with full blood" in the playoffs every season, and he fell completely, with 5+4+1+1 data, and the shooting rate was only 4 into 2. Seriously, Duncan hasn't averaged this playoff game in his career, so he's well aware that it's time to say goodbye.

Don't think that Duncan's face is not moving, there is no pride and self-esteem, as one of the representatives of old-school players, as the No. 1 forward in history, as one of the strongest champions in history, he can tolerate his "playing dead" in the regular season, but he can't tolerate himself in the playoffs. Similar to Kobe Bryant in the original time and space, if the 20+ average per game is gone, he chooses to leave, which is the final bottom line of a super scorer, what about Duncan? If he can't help the team in the playoffs, it's time for his self-esteem. When it arrives, it will go, and it is time to go.

He has done his best in this game, but now he can't even do the weak side of the interior to help defend the axis, he can only watch the Lakers' No. 29 turn over the river and sea on the Spurs' interior line, open and close, and kill all sides. And he, now there is nothing he can do.

When Tang Qian played so majestically under his assistance, Duncan's heart finally had the idea of retiring.

Torch, it's time to hand over.

If this is Duncan at his peak, he must have something to play, but unfortunately this Duncan is the twilight of the last season, and Duncan, who has run out of oil, no matter how experienced he is, no matter how good his consciousness is, he has become empty. Because basketball is still a competitive sport, it is still a sport that requires strong physical functions to do well.

The older you get, the more popular you are, which may be the case in other fields, and in the competitive field, it is almost impossible.

is as strong as Jordan, and when he is old, he can't go against the sky anymore.

Tang Qian played the reaper in the end, and when he found out that Duncan was no longer the Duncan in his impression, the only remaining care disappeared, and as soon as he exerted his strength, he strangled the Spurs' inner line. What about the Spurs? At the last critical moment, the tactical ball was completely blocked by the Lakers, the team could not function, the "Flo" was gone, and the disadvantages of the Spurs were highlighted.

Their single-point attacking ability is still not good, especially when facing strong defensive teams, they are short of breath.

Aldridge and Leonard are indeed current star players, but they also have obvious flaws.

Leonard is still immature, and this season is also the season when he really starts to pick up the big spot on the offensive end, and he has been a dedicated defensive gate in the team before, and scoring is a secondary thing. None of the previous four seasons has scored more than 17 points, a high of 16.5, proving that his offensive role with the Spurs is not that important. So for the first time this season, he became the core offensive arrow of the outside attack, and he felt that he still had a lot to re-polish and adapt. When the Spurs couldn't open the game and needed him to play a single explosion, he performed as follows, shooting 1 of 4.

Only one fake back hit suddenly dummered a left cut jumper to score points, and the rest were defended by the Lakers.

Compared with Tang Qian's side, he was naturally pressed to the ground, and the difference was huge.

Aldridge? The Lakers ended up using a substitution defense, and Don sneaked to mark Aldridge, which made the Spurs' interior offensive core arrow almost scrapped. In fact, Duncan still has a chance, but I don't know if this game is spent too much energy and physical energy on the defensive end, he repeatedly misses on the offensive end, including open mid-range shots and low-post shots, which is definitely rare in the previous Duncan. So, the Lakers finally won with "Giant Planet", 90-80.

Tang Qian got 29 points, 26 rebounds, 8 blocks and 1 assist, including 17 points in the fourth quarter, and 15 points in the last five minutes, making the Spurs completely hopeless. Except for him, the rest of the people played relatively averagely, and the data can only be said to be relatively average. Butler had nine points, Bosh had nine points, Rondo had seven points, Ariza had five points, and Pierce had seven points...... The shooting percentage is not good, because the Spurs are also a strong defensive team in the league this season, conceding only 92 points per game, and the defensive efficiency is also the top three in the league. Playing with such a team, it's not uncommon to have a bad hit.

If it weren't for Tang Qian's power in the last quarter and scored 17 points with a high shooting rate, the shooting rate of this game is estimated to be even more ugly.

For the Spurs, Aldridge scored 14 points, but it took 14 shots and shot just over 30 percent from the field. As an interior player, such a shooting percentage is undoubtedly ugly. Rebounds were even rarer, only 4 times, and although they got 5 assists, they didn't take on the Spurs' interior scoring responsibility. Leonard scored 12 points on 4-of-12 shooting in this game, plus free throws, which means that the two of them combined scored only 26 points, which is not as much as Tang Qian of the opposite Lakers. In addition, the hit rate is less than 4 percent, which is a big step worse than Tang Qian's hit rate of nearly 7 percent.

In contrast, it can only be said that Tang Qian alone defeated the Spurs two people tonight.

No, it's not actually appropriate to say that the top is actually inappropriate, and it should be used to blow up 2 people from the Spurs.

Or the core players on the inside and outside, how many chances do you have to win no matter how well the rest of the Spurs play?

Ginobili was more consistent, scoring 10 points, Parker did not perform well in this game with only 5 points, 4 assists and 1 steal. What about Duncan? He only had 3 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 assists. It's better to play Burreth as a substitute. Dior and David. West is good.

After this game, everyone saw that the "GDP combination" is really a bit old, and they are no longer the most stable anchor in San Antonio. Popovich's switch between old and new players was the right decision.

After the game, Duncan bluntly said that the Lakers' No. 29 would be the hope of the league's interior revival, and he was the undisputed No. 1 interior player.

If he was still young, he would definitely have a big fight with him, but unfortunately the years are not forgiving, maybe the old man will lose to the young man one day. Duncan said this with a bit of a joking expression, but only he knew that in addition to joking, there was also a bit of seriousness, a little unwillingness, and a bit of loneliness.

Popovich politely said, Larry. Mr. Brown's demeanor is still the same, and the league will undergo a major reshuffle this year.

I'm so happy for his return! Just hope that next time it's our San Antonio Spurs win the best!

Popovich's typical "Pippi talk" to him and Larry. Brown's relationship is indeed very good, and for the former, he didn't pay too much attention to the regular season at all, anyway, there are about 60 wins in casual play, and it is enough to enter the upper division. The key is the playoffs, and the playoffs are his focus. As long as the Spurs don't play without discipline in the regular season, then losing the game won't have much fluctuation on him, and after so many years of coaching, it won't be so easy to lose his breath.

The focus of the Lakers is on Tang Qian, tonight he can be described as a "superstar style", the peak of the All-Star can no longer accommodate his position, and the superstar Tang Qian has begun to be mentioned more and more. Directly jumped over the quasi-superstar and became a superstar player recognized by more and more people.

He is one step closer to a higher level.

Larry. When Brown was asked if Tang Qian was a superstar in the league, he pushed his glasses and said: If Dongfang Yan is not a superstar in the league this season, I think no one in this league should dare to say that he is a superstar. Didn't you all see the performance of the fourth quarter tonight? He's one of the best players in my mind.

He's definitely more than 10th in the league.

He should be a top-five or even top-three player in the league.

With the win over the Spurs, the Lakers won their 18th game of the season with an 18-6 record and remain firmly in fourth place in the league.

The Thunder, who are third in the league, are only a few wins away.

7 wins in a row!

Before they had time to catch their breath, the Lakers moved on to the next game. The game was a back-to-back Western Conference against the Houston Rockets, who had played a lot this season. The Rockets are like a devil this season, they didn't play well at the beginning, and now they are only 11-12, to put it simply, they are seen in the top eight teams in the West. As usual, it shouldn't be, their book lineup is not weak, Harden + Howard's internal and external combination team has not changed, and the team has also strengthened some people, such as the excessive boss of the Nuggets in the past few seasons. Lawson. For example, Eric, who moved from the Pelicans. Gordon. For example, Dante. Cunningham and so on. It stands to reason that this lineup can be ranked in the top three in the west, and it won't even be able to enter the top eight in the west. The key problem is still the contradiction of the core players.

The locker room is contradictory, so that this team, which should have produced results, is now playing in a mess.

Coupled with the turmoil of the change of coach, do you think the Rockets will be able to be peaceful this season?

It's hard.

This season, the Rockets' offense is okay, and the defense has simply regressed to a certain extent, conceding an average of 6~7 points per game more than last season. Come on, that's an average of points per game, and it's really hard to win after conceding so many points. Conceding more points than scoring points is a representation of a sparse play in the regular season with a large sample size. Originally, their team was known as the "blind play system", but now without McHale, there is a temporary top **. Bickerstaff, which is useless. Simple stats, defensive back-to-back singles, league efficiency countdown. Defensive cover moves, bottom of the league. Defend a pass with a second pass or more, and the league is at the bottom. Defending the inside without the ball, the league is at the bottom. Defending the off-ball outside cut, the league is bottom.

This is no different from the data of the original time and space, but now it seems that it is still very shocking.

The team with Howard actually has a rotten defense like this? It seems that from the beginning of the Lakers, Howard's defensive core ability has been in the process of deterioration step by step. His defensive core is so strong that it seems like he's never brought it out of Orlando again.

Coupled with the intensification of locker room problems, Harden and Howard both had 0 exchanges on the court, and at such a time, the Rockets want to bottom out, which is basically child's play.

So, McHale, he is just a victim of this "Morden combination" burned out.

If he can't go, the Rockets won't be able to play a particularly good performance this season.

But the Lakers are back-to-back on the road, and the Rockets still have some physical advantages.

But that's about it.

This team basically does not change the coach, blood, and formation, and there is no future and future to speak of. This point, no one at the top of the Houston Rockets is not aware of. Morey even said something like this when McHale was gone:

In the west, we can't afford to wait, and we can't wait.

If you wait, you will die.

Therefore, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Rockets should have a relatively large move this offseason.

At least not to wash it, that's impossible.
