The Spurs' lineup is not flashy and looks very average.

Centre-forward: Rasu Nesterovic.

Forwards: Tim Duncan, Sidhu Tekoglu.

Defenders: Bruce Bowen, Tony Parker.

Subs: Manu Ginobili, Robert Horry, Marik Rose, etc.

The Cavaliers are still regular: Ilgoskas, Boozer, Williams, James, Ye Feng.

Looking at the lineup of the Spurs, Ye Feng couldn't figure it out.

If you talk about the offensive end, the Spurs are indeed very good, Duncan is the basic skill, Parker is the offensive point guard, Ginobili is the Jordan of the 20th minute, and Tekoglu is the playmaker small forward and a shooter, and the offensive ability is really strong.

But what about the defense, Parker, Turkoglou and Ginobili are not good defensively, and it can even be said that they are leaky, but why do they appear to be strong defensively when they fight?

That's probably Duncan's ability, he's one of the best power forwards along with Garnett, but he's two kinds of players.

(Well, kidding aside, Duncan really is a power forward.) A guy who plays center in the name of a big forward, and he also hits the number one big forward in history. ）

Garnett during the Timberwolves could cut extremely luxurious stats, then pound his chest and roar, clench his fists and cheer, and shoot a jump shot to roar.

As long as Garnett is present, he is the protagonist on the field, omnipotent and tough.

As for Duncan, you will feel that this guy is very non-existent, rarely laughs, and it is even rarer to use yelling to vent his emotions, and even a little wooden.

But as long as he's around, his teammates play very comfortably, very easily, and can give Duncan their backs without worry.

He never shines, but is definitely the cornerstone.

Let's take a look at these two men from the perspective of a narrator.

First up is Garnett.

"Wow, the Timberwolves' No. 21 gave the opponent a big hot pot, he blocked the opponent's shots, his defense was too tight."

"It's him again, the turn-over jump shot after shaking his shoulders from side to side, the opponent can't stop it at all, it's too tough, it's just incomprehensible."

"Beautiful, this pass is very beautiful, No. 21 is obviously a big forward, but the passing skills are not inferior to the playmaking defender."

At the end of the game, Garnett's stats were 26 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals and 3 blocks.

"It's a matter of course that he can get this data, everyone sees it, doesn't it?"

Unfortunately, the Timberwolves lost again.

And then there was Duncan.

"Wow, Spurs No. 9 is very fast, a nice spinning top to avoid the opponent and score a jumper. He leads the team to score constantly. ”

"Spurs' No. 20 holds the ball, alas? How did he get past the three players? How did he get there? Belch...... It doesn't matter, anyway, he breaks through his opponent and then scores. He turned the tide by himself, which was simply terrible, and his scoring ability was comparable to that of Jordan. ”

With the end of the game, let's look at the Spurs stats.

Parker had 15 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists, and Ginobili had 18 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, which was not bad.

Alas, there is another stat with better stats, the Spurs' No. 21, Tim Duncan 22 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks.

"When did this guy get so many points? When did you grab so many rebounds and send so many hot pots? Did you see that? ”

"Well, I didn't see that either."

No matter what, the Spurs won again anyway, and won steadily.

That's the difference between Duncan and Garnett.

There is a saying among fans: look at the sports car (Parker) in good times, look at the stone Buddha (Duncan) in bad times, and watch the demon knife (Ginobili) in desperate situations.

But Ye Feng disagreed.

Whether it's good times, bad times or desperate times, the premise for Parker and Ginobili to play is that Duncan is there. Without Duncan, it would be difficult for the two to win, even if they played better.

And to describe Duncan, there is a sentence that is very appropriate.

The rookie is both the peak, the peak and the peak, and the peak in the last years.

In his rookie season, Duncan averaged 21.1 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.5 blocks per game, and he was already the best power forward in the league.

And Duncan at his peak was 25.5 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3.7 rebounds and 2.5 blocks, which is not much exaggerated, and it can't be compared with Garnett and Malone's peak.

20+11+2+2 for 8 consecutive seasons, there has been no drastic improvement, and there has never been a huge decline.

At the end of his career, in the last three seasons, his physical strength was no longer enough to support him in long, high-intensity competitions.

To stay competitive, Duncan chose to lose weight.

So he can still contribute 15.1+9.7+3+1.9, 13.9+9.1+3+2, 8.6+7.3+2.7+1.3 in those three seasons.

As long as he is there, he is competitive, he is the core of the team, and there has never been a rookie adaptation period and a retirement period in the last years.

In his 19 seasons with the Spurs, the Spurs' worst record was 50-32, and he entered the top half of the Western Conference playoffs for 19 consecutive years.

In terms of stability, Jordan, O'Neal, Magic, and James are not as good as him, and he is the most consistent superstar in the NBA.

Honk~

The game begins.

Rasu Nesterovic jumped the ball to beat Ilgoskas, and Parker did not rush to attack after receiving the ball, but pushed slowly.

It wasn't until all his teammates were in place that Parker began to organize the offense.

Defending Parker's nature is Ye Feng.

Both of them are officially 188 centimeters tall, but when standing together, Ye Feng is still a little taller than Parker.

As a rough estimate, Parker's height should only be around 185 centimeters.

This is Parker's third season, and at this time, Parker's three-point shooting is not good, even poor, with only 32.7%, 33.3%, 31.2% in three seasons, and he has very few shots.

Therefore, Ye Feng decided on the strategy of defending Parker before the game, breaking through the main defense, supplemented by shooting.

Parker saw that Ye Feng was a little far away from his position, and his brows furrowed inadvertently, this small action made Ye Feng catch it right, and it strengthened his defensive strategy tonight.

Syllable!

But Parker still planned to break through and try, and with a sudden acceleration, Parker broke through with all his might.

Ye Feng easily moved sideways, completely sealing Parker's breakthrough line, not giving a chance at all.

Of course, Parker's offense wasn't that simple.

Bumped into Ye Feng's body, Parker spun around with a top, trying to open up the defensive space with a turn.

But when Parker turned around, he found that Ye Feng was still in front of him, and there was no shooting space at all.

In particular, Ye Feng's two long arms were erected high, which was quite overwhelming.

If Parker dares to force his shot, it will definitely be a hot pot waiting for him.

Parker had no choice but to stop the ball and think about other offensive strategies.

He's good at speed, playing fastball.

It's a pity that Ye Feng is also very fast, and he also has an arm span advantage, and his defense is very active and smart, completely eliminating the possibility of Parker singles.

Parker, though, wasn't afraid at all.

Because his singles have never been a regular tactic for the Spurs.
