Chapter 385: Duncan Appears

There will be a break-in period for any new roster, and it makes sense that a team as strong as the Spurs is. Although people don't pay attention to the strength of their early appearance at all.

"The Spurs are really strong, if it weren't for the fact that they are still in the run-in period, I dare to say that the Lakers are not the only team that can get a winning streak now."

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the on-site commentary, but the winning streak depends on the right time and place, otherwise there are countless strong opponents in history, but there are few teams that can really create history.

Until now, there have been people who say that the Lakers are taking advantage of the schedule, or that they are taking advantage of their opponents. God knows why Curry Jr. was injured at a critical moment, and he didn't know that the Warriors head coach really replaced him with the wrong string.

There is no such thing as adult beauty in the league, and everyone should be holding back their energy to pull the Lakers off the horse and end their winning streak.

After all, no matter from the team's point of view, or from the Lakers' star Zhang Yi, they are like NBA intruders. How can a fish belly for many years suddenly turn over and a first-year rookie get the respect of his opponent!?

If the previous opponent didn't cause the Lakers too much trouble, then the Spurs who stood in front of their winning streak were definitely the big BOOS.

WACKER also understands that it will be very difficult to win this one. And the Lakers have just experienced a small infighting. Although the result has been successfully resolved, no one knows whether there is still a potential impact.

On the contrary, the Spurs have won a wave of five consecutive wins, and the opponents they have defeated are not weak. It can be seen that their run-in period is over.

What's even more surprising is that Simpkins' offense this year has almost played his strongest season. The idea that everyone thought that his ball would be divided by the newcomers is now self-defeating.

The Spurs have completely adapted their tactics to the team's roster. In the past, they paid more attention to the team, but now they have also begun to play a combination of individual attacks and teams.

This is also a kind of double insurance, and it is also because of the concessions made by the head coach in order to keep Simpkins. In any case, an average of 16 shots per game for a star of his caliber is too few.

The current league is no longer the era when a player's efficiency value is analyzed, and if the most intuitive data is not explosive enough, then even if his win-loss value is high, it is not in vain.

In short, the Spurs tactics are now more diverse. Simpkins' efficiency also translates into high scoring and high returns.

No matter how strong Zhang Yi is now and how popular he is. In the eyes of many critics, it is too early for the NBA to enter his era, and Simpkins is the real successor to Curry Jr.

Before the start of the game, in an interview, Zhang Yi also expressed his respect for his opponent. Especially when it comes to the last time I played him.

Although the Lakers won the final victory that time, it was because the Spurs' roster was not perfect enough. And the Simpkins didn't get that many opportunities at the time.

Journalists don't take these words as hype. Because it's normal for league stars to squeeze each other out before. If Zhang Yi said so, then he must really think so.

When the two sides entered, both the media and the audience immediately noticed that the previously low-key Spurs legend Tim Duncan also appeared on the scene with 'KING' LeBron James.

This is definitely a very big surprise, because there is so little news about Duncan that many viewers may have forgotten that San Antonio still has such a big forward in NBA history.

The footage of the scene is also frequently given to this legendary player, and by his side, James, who used to be the core everywhere he went, even took the initiative to give way.

After all, in this AT&T Center arena, Duncan is the eternal owner. And as a generation of opponents, James also took over the future from this man's hands.

Although the attention of the Lakers generals is on the game, the audience who is extremely excited to see the scene also notices the big senior on the sidelines.

In particular, Zhang Yi had only seen the active performance of 'Stone Buddha' Duncan on video before. Now that I finally see the real person, he is also a fan brother in seconds.

Whether it's the Lakers or the Spurs, the Duncan hasn't been to the training gym for many years.

Many newcomers don't know that there is such a big Buddha here. So the whole scene almost turned into a sea of memories for older fans.

The superstars who shone in this stadium back then were so low-key that they basically haven't appeared on the scene since retiring their jerseys.

Although I don't know where the other two people are now, seeing Duncan now appear safe and sound in the stadium where they fought back then, all Spurs fans have also been comforted.

In particular, the host of the scene hoped more than once that Duncan could stand up and wave to the fans who had liked him for so many years.

In the end, Duncan took off his hat and showed his gray hair to greet all the old fans who were sticking to the stadium. It's just that when he sat down, he immediately complained to James, "I just said I can't be here, I'm in trouble." ”

"Old fellow, you should have been active a long time ago."

James said with a smile, because in his opinion, people can't shrink into a corner when they live, and they have to toss if they can. Even if you can't move by tossing, you have to command people and watch people toss.

Of course, Duncan was dismissive of his thoughts, after all, the nicknames of the two of them were one was the king and the other was the stone Buddha, and that was the difference.

The game officially began, and the Lakers' Vali fought hard for basketball. It's just that Oscar didn't hold the ball, and finally bounced into the hands of Spurs point guard Felton.

This was also a bonus, and of course Filton unceremoniously passed it to Raj, one of the two guns, and made a quick dash.

Because the Lakers' defense has not yet been settled, the Spurs started the game with a strong three-point shot. As a result, he staggered into the box.

It can be seen that the Spurs' desire to attack this game is very strong. Although I don't know why I didn't give it to Simpkins to attack, a team with such a high level of tactical literacy must have its own purpose in doing so.

Zhang Yi was also saying to Simpkins, "It seems that you are ready to give up your offense and concentrate on defending me in this game?" ”

"Don't be presumptuous!"

If it were another opponent, he would definitely fight back after hearing such derogatory and provocative words, but Simpkins seems to be a little sluggish, and he can be said to be a big grinning man, he will only respond with strength and the shortest words!
