Duncan finally spoke up, and said in an indifferent tone, "Really? Then I'm going to see what you're capable of. ”

In the next shot, Duncan used his low-post ability to make the Spurs easily score a layup, although Duncan no longer has the scoring ability of his prime, but his understanding of the basketball court is a few points stronger than before. So he turned into a full-time defensive cornerstone with the Spurs, and was used as a key cog for the team as a whole.

At 54-51, the Spurs trailed the Lakers by three points.

The Lakers attack, basketball is still the same as before, given the inside, which is also an "unspoken rule" of the NBA, whoever has a hot hand can have continuous shots. Tang Qian proved at least this one that he can maintain a high-energy attack under Duncan's single defense, so it makes sense to give him this ball.

After all, the Lakers now have no other than Kobe Bryant who has such a strong desire to attack as No. 29.

"Come on, Oriental boy, let me see how far you are." Duncan stood on the edge of the paint area, looked at Tang Qian, who was holding the ball at 45 degrees in the low post, and said softly. Although the words are not heavy, it can be clearly felt that the defensive momentum of the "old man" in front of him has improved. Not a little yet.

I guess it's the "Defend The.Zone".

It's no surprise that Duncan is the No. 1 PF in NBA history, a top 10 person in history, and it is impossible for him to be eaten so hard without any reaction. He is sometimes "paralyzed" and "mostly silent", but this is just a matter of his style of play and personality, not No. 21 Holy City, who is such a "good gentleman".

Just kidding, except for Chamberlain, a physical superman, who is a "good man" and a "play ticket" player, which of the other historical players is the real "good guy"? They are all strong heroes of a certain era and overlords of a certain era. Tim. Duncan, naturally, is the same, after he was hit by Tang Qian's continuous ball, he was finally a little "angry".

He wants to curb this young man, suppress this No. 29, and let the other party know what is called "tender"!

But...... What surprised Duncan slightly in his heart was that the Eastern Center, who was standing opposite, did not have a solemn complexion, what was his expression before, and what kind of expression he still has now, just like ...... Tim. Duncan didn't seem to be in a state outburst.

The mentality and momentum are good, but that doesn't help you score directly.

"I'll let you know. Tim. Tang Qian looked at the No. 21 of the Spurs team who had entered the "Defensive The.Zone", and smiled slightly: "Please take a good look at my level." After saying that, he sank his shoulders one by one, and then stepped on it, and directly killed the basket. Duncan's ball is not weak at all, after entering the "Defensive The.Zone", his original strength of the defense is still there, and he has once again raised a lot of points, coupled with his rich experience, he suddenly lifted his foot and carded, and wanted to face Tang Qian's physical dismantling and physical confrontation.

However, Duncan underestimated the current Tang Qian, and that strength made him retreat a little, but he was full of tenacity, held his breath, and instantly lifted it up again.

It's Tim. Duncan, who is 38 years old and still has such a strong defense, is still an offensive and defensive player with three formations and two defenses at the age of 39, which is really no joke. Of course, this offensive and defensive integration is undoubtedly a bit unworthy of mentioning compared to his own peak.

But is that enough to defend me? Tim. Duncan, you're underestimating me so much.

You're not giving me enough of a threat right now.

In other words, this ball, I am enough to suppress your defense on the offensive end.

"It's hot and attacking again, or Duncan is still one-on-one with his low post, can he continue the magic he had before? The speed of this ball is fast, but Duncan is not slow, he successfully delayed the breakthrough momentum of the hot, the momentum was contained, what did the hot club choose to do? Do you want to think about passing the ball out? No, this, he, he jumped straight up??? "Bill. McDonald's voice was surprised, defender Duncan, why not? This ball, according to normal circumstances, has been delayed by him, generally speaking, it is right to choose to stop the ball or adjust. This guy didn't even mean to stop at all, and just bounced? This ball is too reluctant, and it is estimated that it will ...... if you force it to jump What, what???

He still has so much explosiveness???

Why was Stoudemire so invincible when he was with the Suns? His superhuman explosiveness and explosiveness after confrontation are both "devil level". Griffin is already a representative of basket violence in this era, but his hard kills in a game are still less than that of Stoudemire in that era. Even his most talked-about dunk count, the highest is a cut less than Stoudemire's, this regular season is actually not prominent enough, look at the fierce playoff game, Griffin's highest single-season dunk can only rank fourth in Stoudemire's playoff career!!

This is just a simple dunk, and there is no calculation of direct confrontation layups against baskets, otherwise the gap will only be more obvious.

Fortunately, after so many years in the league, he is the only one who can play the basket to the level of Stoudemire, and the basket is not the main way to shoot the interior player, so Duncan has not tasted this kind of taste for a long time.

It is directly and forcibly forced, and after confrontation, it is forcibly buckled.

Bang!

Tang Qian smashed the orange basketball into the Spurs' basket with one hand, looking at his appearance, he was quite domineering and fierce.

"How? To what extent? Tim? In the face of Tang Qian's questioning, Duncan's eyes shrank a little, but he still did not show any emotion on the surface, and just turned his head and threw himself into the Spurs' offense.

Tang Qian looked at Duncan's back, couldn't help but smile, and also started to run back to the Lakers' restricted area.

The Spurs missed the ball, and although Leonard used the pick-and-roll, Kobe Bryant's defense kept up in time, giving the former some defensive interference, and when the basketball slid out of the basket. There is nothing to say about low-post rebounding, plus it is still defensive rebounding, so Tang Qian grabbed it and then threw it directly to Kobe.

Kobe Bryant didn't stop the ball at all, and went straight to the Spurs' halfcourt, and the Spurs quickly defended back, barely preventing the Lakers' defensive counterattack, but once again, the basketball was thrown into Tang Qian's hands. Once again, Duncan and Tang Qian's inner line was one-sided one-on-one.

Popovich didn't change his formation because he had a natural trust and trust in the Spurs' No. 21.

After so many years, so many situations, and so many situations, there are only a handful of people who can really make that "stone Buddha" unbearable.

So he doesn't believe that the Lakers' No. 29 can hold out until the end.

This mistake, Popovich later recalled the game, as if to say, one of his biggest mistakes in this series was to let Duncan play too much single defense in front of him. He thought at the time that Duncan was defensive enough, and it turned out that the Oriental man was not at all something that Duncan could contain.

He was an attacker who was enough to pull the entire team's defense in that series, and he came to his senses too late.

"It's hot against Duncan again, it's still low, it's singles, it's still one-on-one, what will he do? is still attacking with the ball and the basket, his start of the ball was a bit judged by Duncan, the best position to attack is gone, barely shot, will it be scored? oh~ It's a pity that I missed a little bit and didn't be able to throw it in. ”

It took a lot of energy and attention for Duncan to finally block Tang Qian's basket, but just as he was a little relaxed, a huge purple and gold figure rose from the ground again, grabbed the offensive rebound on his head, and then ...... With the ball in both hands behind his head, his knees slightly arched, and he exploded into the Spurs' basket in one go.

Bang!!!

"ah~ha~ dunk !! Scalding himself grabbed the offensive rebound!! Then he attacked twice and scored a violent dunk!! "Bill. McDonald couldn't help but exclaim, "Did you see it all?" Tyrant Scalding doesn't just exist on the defensive end tonight, he also wakes up on the offensive end! ”

"This guy's dunk is really powerful, I like to watch this domineering gorilla King Kong dunk!" Stu. Lanterz also said: "Now in the league except for Howard, the inside dunks are all soft and uninteresting. In this way, how can there be the momentum of being the overlord under the basket. It's great to play like this! ”

"Just be careful, don't get hurt, that's fine."

"Injuries are the biggest enemy for professional athletes."

At 58-51, the score difference widened again to 7 points.

"Tim, if you're in your prime, it's okay to say, ...... now" Tang Qian said to Duncan as he turned around and returned to the court: "You're old, it's time to give me a place." ”

"I'm not the league's chief inside line for a long time, and you can't tell me about this." Duncan's words made Tang Qian smile back: "I know, because of the chief insider, it's already me, isn't it?" ”

It may sound a bit arrogant, but when you think about it, doesn't it?

This season, Tang Qian has won a burst of defense + DPOY + All-Star starter + All-Star MVP + rebounding king + block king, do you dare to say that he is not the league's No. 1 insider? Before everyone still subconsciously felt that Dwight. Howard is still the first center in this league, after all, he is still in his golden age, still 28~29 years old, plus the rendering of some "senior keyboard warriors" of ESPN, no one really reacts, the number one inside line of this league, invisible and shadowless, has been quietly replaced.

Changed to the Lakers' No. 29.

Otherwise, do you think Howard's honor this season is enough to compare with Tang Qian?

Compared with his career, he has no problem overpowering Tang Qian now, but compared to now, he has been steadily pressed by the latter.

There was no suspense at all.

In addition to the ultimate honor, Tang Qian basically won most of the individual honors this season, so he said that he was the first center in the league, which was not arrogant and vain. He's not, isn't he still Howard's "jolly beast"?

This is also the first time that Tang Qian has publicly told people that he is the No. 1 center in the league, not the so-called No. 1 blue-collar in the league.

The Spurs and Lakers each played a few rounds of "kite ball", but none of them were put into the basket, and Tang Qian also threw it, as if everything was going to get back on track. But Popovich hadn't been happy for a few minutes, and the Eastern No. 29 actually scored again.

Scored again on the inside.

In Tim. Duncan's solo defense scored.

This, could it be that his state tonight is the state of "eating big dumplings" and "eating big cakes"???

Otherwise, this is too exaggerated, for so long???

How did Popovich know that Tang Qian is not a "big dumpling" or "big cake", one game is not enough, the whole round of the series will be his classic performance stage. At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers looked at the score and had a 9-point lead over the Spurs.

69-60, which is why the Spurs finally scored two three-pointers in a row.

For this reason, Meeks, who lost the ball, was also defeated by Mike. D'Antoni was scolded and bloody.

After scolding Meeks, D'Antoni started watching the game again, looked at the Lakers' Nos. 29 and No. 24 and said: "Bryant, hot, you guys, are you really ready to turn the tables?" D'Antoni himself felt very weak when he said this, because this is a situation that has not been seen in nearly 70 years in the history of the NBA. At least since he came into contact with the NBA, the series is down 0-3, which is equivalent to the end of the game. Therefore, even if he is leading now, and it is possible to win 2 games in a row now, he still feels a little unconvinced.

Or rather, there is not much confidence.

Kobe Bryant and Tang Qian looked at each other for a moment, and then said at the same time: "Of course, sir, do you need to say this?" ”

"Didn't we say that a long time ago? We're not going to lose, we're going to win, we're going to do it. ”

"But ......" Seeing that D'Antoni was still a little hesitant, Tang Qian took the first step and said directly: "Mr. D'Antoni, don't forget, basketball is also round, so anything can happen." When we win this game, it's time for you to cheer up the team and come up with ideas, right? Playing soy sauce all the time is not what a manager of the year should do. ”

Head Coach of the Year??? I, yes, I'm the manager of the year this season???

D'Antoni was also stunned when he heard this.

"Alright, it's time to rest, it's time to sweep the tail." Tang Qian looked at Kobe Bryant and suddenly showed a slightly "provocative" smile and said: "Bryant, let's talk about this game, if the Spurs insist on one defense on the inside, it will still be my main attack." Don't go back. ”

"Don't worry, it won't." Bryant replied.

"I outscored you tonight, won't you regret it?" Tang Qian continued to laugh.

"If you can do it, let's talk about it." Kobe Bryant replied, "And, now, I just want to win." ”

"If you can give us a chance to win, I'll let you fight!"

"That's it."
