At halftime, Popovich was still yelling in the Spurs' locker room, and it was unacceptable to have been in a stalemate with a seven-man rotation for the first half.

Parker was once again standing under Popovich's gun, and the spit was almost splashing all over him.

Jackson followed closely behind, and was also scolded with a gun and a stick. At this time, the "Martial Saint" didn't dare to make a mistake, so he could only endure it.

Only Duncan sat silently in the corner, listening to the few notes that popped up occasionally by Popovich. He's the best, but as a leader he wants to take responsibility and it's his responsibility if the team doesn't play well.

Compared with the Spurs locker room, Old Man Doug is much gentler, and just told Jordan not to get hurt, after all, Bowen is notorious, and everything else is a cliché.

Subsequently, Hu Qingniu added a few key points for the second half.

"The third quarter is often a quarter where the strong team and the weak team open up the gap, because the strong team tends to make effective arrangements according to the situation in the third quarter."

Hu Qingniu's words put away everyone's mood just now, and these words show that there is a doorway below.

"The Spurs will focus on Parker and Duncan in the second half, which is the Spurs' winning formula this season. This tactic is extremely frequent, and Duncan and Parker are currently the top two scorers on the Spurs team. ”

Hu Qingniu brought the tactical board and began to draw the intentions.

"The key to breaking the Spurs' move lies in Parker, Duncan can go down or pull out after blocking, and he is something we can't limit at the moment. However, Parker is still a point guard with inconsistent projection, and he is not skilled in passing, often hesitating and even making mistakes between passing and one-on-one, with only 5.2 assists this season, but a whopping 2.4 turnovers, and an assist-to-turnover ratio of almost 2:1. “

Then, Hu Qingniu highlighted the horn areas on both sides.

"Here, the horns on both sides are the blocking points of Parker and Duncan, and this tactic is completely modeled after Stockton and Stuck Malone, Michael, you should be familiar with it."

"Our focus is to pinch Parker after the two blocks and cut off his way out, but don't make a move and force him to go from the baseline. Heywood, you have to make up for Duncan as soon as possible at this time, and don't let him go down. Parker has the lowest percentage of shots from the baseline and is inconvenient to handle the ball here, so we've achieved our goal. “

After listening to some detailed explanations, the team members said that they were clear about their tasks.

Although Hu Qingniu can be clearly arranged off the field, he can't intervene on the field, and it still depends on the execution of the players.

Hu Qingniu also let Parker be treated early, maybe Parker will grow faster.

The situation on the court was as Hu Qingniu expected, and the Spurs played a block and pick-and-roll.

The Wizards were prepared and didn't panic, and Tyronn Lue and Kwame successfully coerced Parker to the bottom line. Parker lost his sense of position on the court, couldn't see the basket, and was in a hurry. Tyronn Lue was quick to move the ball away, and the ball was broken.

But the ball didn't fall into the hands of the Wizards in the chaos, a pair of big and delicate hands scooped up the basketball from the ground, clinged to the defender, and turned around without any temptation.

"Huh."

The ball bounced into the net bag and made a wave like a net.

Instead of celebrating, he silently walked back, carrying the huge No. 21 on his back, and touched Parker's head in encouragement with some spare time.

Although it was still not blocked, it was a very successful defense that did not look at the result but only the process. Hu Qingniu signaled everyone not to be discouraged on the sidelines, and they all ran up and returned to each other.

Larry Hughes got an open opportunity and hit a three-pointer to close the gap by one point.

Here the Spurs are back, and it is still a two-man blocking tactic. The pinch shot was not a success, and Parker hoisted the ball into the interior early. Haywood didn't keep Duncan out of the box in time.

Duncan was known as the flying devil when he was young, and although he had an injury to his meniscus at this time, he was still young, and his physical fitness did not decline much. He jumped against Heywood, holding the basketball with his long ape arms and dunking hard. Heywood was cut off before he could get a foothold.

As the footsteps moved, the referee blew the whistle and Heywood blocked the foul and added a free throw.

This is just the beginning.

A minute later, the demonic Duncan came back without saying a word. This time he pulled outside to catch the ball after the pick-and-roll. Kwame Brown could only follow.

While Kwame was still moving forward, Duncan took the initiative and pressed down his shoulders to break through from the side. It was a guard move, and Duncan's pace wasn't slow, at least half a step faster than Kwame this time.

It's this half-step, and this round is already doomed. Duncan relied on the advantage of half a step, unhurriedly leaned on Kwame all the way to the inside, and easily licked the basket with one hand with his left hand.

Relying on this half-step advantage, although Kwamei's physical fitness is explosive, as long as he can't crush Duncan in strength, he is destined to not be able to regain this half-step advantage. It's a bit like the magician and Olajuwon, who have reached the peak of their skills in their later years, and they don't need much effort to break through with a little bit of footwork. But the difference is that Duncan is only 26 years old, which is why Duncan's movements do not look dreamy, and his body is not very outstanding, but he can be so powerful.

The great basic merits are well deserved.

That's not the end of it, Duncan is here again.

There was no pick-and-roll this time, and the Spurs have already found out that this tactic has been cracked. After a few reversible shots, the ball was still firmly passed to Duncan on the left.

Kwame Brown tried his best to cling to the indifferent man, just drops of sweat falling down Kwame's face.

The indifferent man finally had a disgusted expression and turned the ball to the halfway.

Kwame remembered that Ewing had also made this move of turning and holding the ball to the halfway line when he was training him.

It's a hook hand! Kwame couldn't hold the ball on Duncan's long arm!

Kwame suddenly realized and shouted, "Brandon! “

Brandon Hywood hurried over to make up for the defense, and this time the reaction was quick, and the two were already clinging to Duncan at the same time.

There is no room to shoot, these two people are finally relieved, and if they are beaten again, there will be a psychological shadow.

Unexpectedly, there was a thick crash overhead.

This was followed by the sound of a basketball falling into the hoop.

Heywood looked at the expressionless man's hand behind his back, and he didn't understand. The moment he posted it, the opponent had already picked the ball from his armpit and hit the board through his back into the basket.

Single-handedly, he continued to play the Wizards' defense. This kind of performance, even Jordan gasped.

Are the players so scary these days? A 26-year-old player, as mature as a 36-year-old, handles every link to the top.

Peak Duncan, terrifying!
