When it comes to the Spurs, there is no doubt that Tim Duncan is a big man.

He is a taciturn man who likes to wear an oversized plaid shirt and a pair of dirty jeans, and he looks like a farm worker in San Antonio in the last century.

During his reigning years, he supported a defensive system that kept the Spurs among the top three in the league. Against the Spurs, their rhythm is rock calm, and you can only follow that rhythm and then be ground up by the Spurs' positional offense.

The Spurs' Finals against the Pistons even made President David Stern feel that the NBA was about to be destroyed by these two teams, and the unspective hand-to-hand combat and dull sound of iron were about to drive him crazy. League Finals ratings fell to an all-time low.

The rookie is at the peak, and he has been in turmoil for 19 years. The stone Buddha, who has no attention and is not even loved, is silent, but only shows his dominance by turning over again and again 45 degrees to enter the frame.

The current Spurs team selected the "French sports car" Tony Parker last season, and the "Pampas Eagles" Manuginobili who had been waiting for several years finally left Italy to join the Spurs. The GDP mix is beginning to take shape.

Although the GPs are still in the growth period, the old general David Robinson can still play his residual heat, and Duncan is not seriously injured, which is the peak of Duncan's ability.

Before the game, Popovich was not the "Zhuge Vic" in the future, but the habit of business blowing each other planted the seeds at this time. He inevitably boasted of the great Michael Jordan, the greatest player of all time. He even said that the new assistant coach of the Wizards is a young coach with great potential and can achieve greatness in the future.

No matter what the old man bragged, Hu Qingniu resolutely refused to eat his milk.

Although the Spurs' record is high, Hu Qingniu still thinks this could be the most likely game in the Texas top three. Unlike the Mavericks' bombardment offense and the Rockets' youth storm, the Spurs play the slowest pace in the league because they are a two-tower team.

Since the other party's rhythm won't drag you down, and you have Jordan in your lineup, what's impossible.

Hu struggled to recall the Spurs' shortcomings and the number of games they lost. Although the memory is vague, one thing is for sure, the Spurs lack offensive ability. With the exception of Duncan, they don't have consistent scoring points.

The two losses to the Mavericks should have exposed the Spurs' three-point defensive ability, Bruce Bowen is a defensive strongman, but rookie Parker and "Martial Saint" Jackson are both colanders. "Martial Saint" is also an unstable factor for the Spurs. The aging David Robinson couldn't support a high level of play throughout the game.

These three points are the possible weaknesses of the Spurs team that Hu Qingniu racked his brains to come up with.

The game with the Spurs was really dull, it had been 6 minutes since the opening, Hu Qingniu had not come back to his senses, and the score on both sides was only 5:4, and each side played countless fine irons.

The Wizards insisted on using a three-point strategy that allowed them to shoot three-point opportunities, and the Spurs ignored it and relied on early positioning to block the shrinkage of the two walls of Kwame Brown and Haywood, allowing Parker and Jackson to keep up with the Wizards' perimeter players.

At this time, Hu Qingniu insisted on proposing to Old Man Doug to let Heywood play, because later experience showed that Yao Ming was afraid of mobile shooters like Boozer, and Duncan's fast pace made him specialize in kite men when he was not in the aging stage. Since Jeffries was giving it away for nothing, it was better to let Heywood, a calf, drain Duncan's physical strength.

The frenzied tsunami of the Spurs' home fans could not arouse Hu Qingniu's spirit, and the sound of "bells" on both sides really affected the mood of the offensive maniac.

At the beginning of the second quarter, before he knew it, Hu Qingniu actually fell asleep. At first, everyone didn't find out, but as the broadcast camera captured the Wizards' bench, it was discovered that the young assistant coach of the Wizards was sitting on the sidelines and falling asleep.

Originally, there was really no highlight in a dull game, but now everyone's attention was focused on the sleeping Hu Qingniu. All kinds of emojis, freshly baked poisonous tongue spicy comments spread. A number of media reprinted each other, and Hu Qingniu's name spread faster than the last time Jordan broke the news.

David Stern's anger in his office over the incident strengthened his resolve to improve the current league's spectacle.

And the initiator Hu Qingniu was finally woken up by Old Man Doug, and most of the second quarter had passed.

The Wizards actually led by 4 points at 32:28, and when you look at the statistics, Parker is 1-of-6, Jackson is 0-of-5, and the Spurs only Duncan has 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting, as well as 10 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The Wizards' shooting percentage was also worrisome, with Jordan scoring 19 points on 6-of-10 shooting. The rest scored no more than 5 points.

Popovich called a timeout again, unlike KFC grandfather Jackson, who studied under academy coach Larry Brown and advocated absolute control of the team. In the 20 years since he took charge, he has been as rigorous and stern as Larry Brown.

At this moment, the sports car is the worst one to be scolded, and Hu Qingniu sympathizes with Parker from afar, and it is estimated that this scolding will be 20 years. However, Parker's progress is inseparable from his achievements and Popovich's focus on training.

As Popovich concluded at Duncan's brief jersey retirement ceremony: "I want to say to Duncan's parents, who have passed away, that Duncan, who is sitting here, has not changed since the teenager who came to the Spurs." “

It is this way of educating players like fathers to their children that has made Spurs the most harmonious and united family team in the future.

That's where Hu learns, and Popovich has always been the coach he admires the most.

Hu Qingniu thought to himself that after the timeout, it was time to go to Ginobili, a highly creative player who can not only tear the defense to create damage, but also organize the attack, like a promoter of the Spurs' stalemate.

Hu Qingniu specially found Jordan and said, pay attention to the opponent's No. 20 white player, he will be the Spurs' outside ball-handling core later.

Sure enough, Ginobili replaced Jackson.

Although Jordan personally marked the defense, Ginobili was not soft, making long-range shots, breaking through the ball, and hanging passes inside, all of them. The situation of the Spurs was opened up all of a sudden, and Parker and Bowen opened up one after another.

Although Jordan then increased the defensive pressure and grabbed the position in advance, Ginobili's demonic energy also reined slightly. But the Spurs were on the rise, and that had the effect Popovich wanted, and he nodded lightly on the sidelines. The past few years have not been in vain, and a No. 57 pick in '99 has been exchanged for a shooting guard who can raise the team's ceiling.

The Wizards fell to the downside. At the end of the half, 39:46, with a seven-point deficit into the second half.
