167. One day the master will come back!
Duncan and David Robinson, two of the best defensive players who average 2+ blocks per game and former best defensive players, are shrouded in the three-second zone, even covering the free throw line!
David Robinson is still there, Duncan is at the peak of the extreme, and there is Bowen at the small forward position, and the Spurs in the next two years should be said to be the most terrifying time for Duncan's team's defense, that is, the team's overall offense is a little worse, but the defense is probably the strongest in the history of the Spurs!
Because the Spurs' defense on the guard line has always been average, Parker's defense can only be considered mid-range, and the defense of Ginobili, who joined later, is also average.
Duncan, who now moves faster than Emmanuor, jumps higher than Rahim, and is second only to O'Neal and Ben Wallace in strength on the inside!
After the start of the game, Duncan's offensive end was crazy on the inside, Muhammad Fang crashed into it or made a layup, Ratlif Fang directly turned over and made a mid-range jumper, and passed the ball on the clip, the Spurs have been passing the ball on the offensive end, as long as a bag is formed, the back pass will not be solved.
Although the Spurs have a pitiful number of high-scoring players this year, and the offense is poor, they also have an average of 96 points per game, and the open opportunities are really accurate, Bowen's bottom corner three-pointer, Parker's open cut, and most importantly, Steve Smith.
Who is the league's most accurate three-point shooter?
Some people will say Ray Allen, some people will say Reggie Miller, and even some Hawks fans whisper in the bed that it is our Ace Liu.
But looking at the shooting percentage, Steve Smith averaged 1.5 three-pointers per game, a shooting rate of 47.5 percent!! His overall shooting percentage was not as high as his's three-point shooting percentage! When Bowen and Steve Smith stood on either side of the bottom corner, Duncan's singles were completely unsolvable, and the inside package he passed to the Admiral who cut the air to dunk, and the top bag clip was passed to Parker, who could cut and draw to the bottom corner after the air cut.
This year's strength is still very poor, and Parker, who has no other offensive means except for speed, air cutting and throwing, can average so many assists per game, which is how he came about.
The first quarter has not yet reached the official timeout, and the Hawks have already called two timeouts!
4 to 14, 10 points behind at the beginning!
What does it mean to be absolutely calm? What does it mean to be as steady as a dog?
It's a spur!
If it's not a team that is on par with them, or a team that is stronger than them, it's too hard to beat them!
It is said that the Spurs after 2010 are vegetable madmen, especially they have always been!
Since the Spurs won the championship in 1999, the Lakers have entered an invincible state, the Spurs are about to retire, the Spurs' strength has been greatly damaged, from the strongest to one of the top teams, in addition to being pressed by the Lakers in recent years, and other strong teams are five or five, because other strong teams can explode, the Spurs can't explode, so the record of playing strong teams is actually not up or down, but playing weak teams is called a solution!
The Eagles were about to explode on the spot.
When it came to the official timeout, Coach Kruger decided to give it a go!
"Ace, Jason, Sharif, Ira, Nazr, get up and run, pull the rhythm up!"
It's stressful!
Liu Mang took a deep breath and walked onto the court.
Although the record is better than the other party, but look at the Spurs schedule to know what's going on, the league doesn't want to see them at all, they can't be used, except for the popular superstar Duncan, who has more than 100 endorsements on his body, Stern simply wants to expel the Spurs from the NBA, rhythm killer, opponent self-confidence killer, Spurs in time.
In the first two months, the Spurs' schedule was basically against the top ten teams in the East and West, so they lost 11 games, but in January and February, it was time for the Spurs to pull up their records.
Before the game, Liu Mang watched a lot of videos of Spurs games, they played the Lakers and Kings very steadily, and the current style of play is almost the same, and now they play the Hawks, and the Spurs still have not changed.
Although the Spurs used this style of play to beat the Kings and the Lakers and lost, they only lost a few points, and beat the Hawks, completely crushed!
The official timeout came back, just now it was the Hawks players who broke Duncan's pass and hit the baseline, and it was the Spurs who came back to have the ball.
The Spurs also made a substitution, David Robinson was replaced, and Duncan mentioned the center position and replaced him with shooting power forward Danny Feery.
Danny Feery, the Cavaliers' god shooter, shot 40 percent from three-point range in his career.
Popovich saw that the Hawks, known as one of the strongest defensive interior lines in the East, were no match for Duncan, and decisively switched to a lineup of three pitchers and one striker.
Unlike many teams that don't pay so much attention to three-pointers at this time, Popovich has always attached great importance to this, although the Spurs are not hitting 6 three-pointers per game, the Kings only hit 6.2 three-pointers per game, and the Lakers are only averaging 5.1 three-pointers per game, so it seems that the Spurs have a lot of three-point shots.
Not all teams are like the Hawks, shooting eight three-pointers per game.
The game continued, the Spurs played the ball in the frontcourt, Danny Ferry sent the ball to Parker, who wanted to drag the time again.
Seeing this, Liu Mang pressed it directly!
"Tony Parker, 65 Ability, 94 Speed, 62 Power, 52 Threes, 68 Shots, 89...... Layup"
Liu Mang found that he and Parker were really similar in terms of ability points! It's just that the shooting area of himself and Parker is completely opposite, and the speed and strength are really the same!
Liu Mang pressed towards Parker, startling Parker.
The other players of the Spurs don't care too much about Liu Mang, isn't it just a rookie, that is, a rookie, and it won't be as shocking as an ordinary playoff team for a top team.
But Parker is different!
As a rookie, Parker knows that the NBA is more than a little bit stronger than the European league, when he was in Europe, he was the strongest player in France, but when he came to the NBA, he knew that he was just an ordinary guard who controlled the ball for more than half the court, if it weren't for Popovich's need for a point guard who drove the rhythm to avoid being slowed down by Duncan, he couldn't play on a different team, and he almost fell to the second round when he was drafted.
And Liu Mang, who is also a rookie and is about to average 16 points per game, in Tony Parker's opinion, is the same as Jason Terry watching Francis in his rookie year, why is he so sassy!
The French were more romantic and gentle than the Americans, and Parker couldn't afford Jason Terry's idea of wanting to do it when he saw Francis, so he quickly passed the ball to Duncan.
“……”
What about your speed! What about the French sports car?
Liu Mang was speechless, and wanted to fight with the other party for speed, but the other party was instigated.
It seems that the rookies of the same class met this year, except for Gasol, who is very strong, the others are either weak or cowardly.
Duncan's position to receive the ball is not very good, he originally wanted to come out to block Parker, he saw that Parker is a bit of a rookie opposite, Duncan is a person who doesn't talk much and sullenly likes to study opponents silently, and every opponent will study well, so he can be so stable every time he plays, and accurately find the opponent's weaknesses.
Success doesn't come for nothing.
Unexpectedly, Parker passed at this time, and Duncan was standing outside the free throw line, and receiving the ball at this time was a bit embarrassing for a center.
Stunned with the ball, Duncan saw Muhammad standing at the free throw line and decided to play alone!
Then, I saw Duncan like a defender, holding the ball and changing directions!
When Liu Mang turned around and rushed up to make a steal, Duncan had already dribbled Muhammad out of position and rushed into the basket with a crotch dribble! Liu Mang was blocked by Muhammad!
Duncan rushed in, Newbell came back to block, Mohammed also rushed back to wrap up, Duncan crossed to the bottom corner Danny Ferry!
Only at this moment, Duncan's performance was terrifying!
However, Danny Ferry is indeed old, no longer the microwave pitcher of the previous Cavaliers' last peak, and he can't continue to shine, playing an open three-point iron, and Muhammad grabs the rebound!
The Eagles fight back!
Jason Terry takes the lead!
This game was so depressing!
Bowen didn't make too many small movements, his hands and feet were together, but he could still avoid the referee's sight, and he didn't want to be damaged.
Finally got the opportunity to counterattack, Jason Terry was the first time to go down, Mohammed's long pass was getting better and better, Jason Terry received the ball at the opponent's three-point line position and was very comfortable and scored inside......
I'll go!
Jason Terry saw that the other party's No. 9 rookie who was about the same height as him was running faster than him!
"Rookies are so good at running these days?" Jason Terry is so sad and angry, his own team has a taller and better runner than him, and now there is another one!
Jason Terry helplessly returned the top arc, Liu Mang just followed up slowly, received the ball and shot three-pointed!
Jason Terry regretted it as soon as it got out, and quickly shouted, "Ace be careful!" ”
But at this time, Liu Mang had already jumped up and raised the ball above his head, and when he heard Jason Terry's words, the ball that had not yet been thrown was passed back with a force that was greater than his own throwing I don't know how much! The whole person was overturned to the ground! The ball is fanned straight out of bounds!
After Liu Mang fell, he saw the poker face without any expression!
The ball is out of bounds!
Spurs ball possession!
After Duncan chased after Liu Mang, the ball was dipped in Liu Mang's hand before it was fanned out of bounds!
But the referee still has to watch the replay! Determine who owns the ball.
Liu Mang fell to the ground and was completely stunned, is he still human! It's too strong!
At this time, Duncan stretched out his hand to pull Liu Mang up.
As the saying goes, friendship comes first, competition comes second......
Friendship with your sister!
Liu Mang pushed Duncan's hand away, reached out to grab Raheem and Ratliff's hands and stood up!
Damn poker face, fuck nerd! Master and you are inseparable in this life!
Listening to the cheers of the fans at the scene, Liu Mang's face was hot! Even if you're invincible now! But one day you will be old and your master will look like you...... Forehead...... Liu Mang is a little sad, will he be old......
Duncan is so embarrassed! Disgusted by the opponent! Find a teammate to give you a high-five to comfort your wounded heart.
Duncan had just put on a hat, and he thought there should be a high-five of his teammates in celebration, and walked over to Parker and extended his right hand to Parker for a high-five......
Parker did high-five in celebration, but didn't seem to see Duncan and went to high-five Bowen.
Duncan silently looked at his right hand, feeling a maple leaf slipping from the sky, and silently stretched out his left hand to pat himself......
