259. Western Conference Finals 14

Duncan's interior defense is too strict, and the outside defense is also very strong, and the Lakers' on-court lineup is McCollum, Nick Young, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Whiteside, and the space still seems to be not open enough. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Give the ball to Nick Young, Nick Young doesn't care if it's a playoff game or not, and makes a three-point shot diagonally...... missed, Duncan protected the defensive rebound.

Don't look at Whiteside's rebounding, the card position is also powerful, and the arm span is extremely long, but Duncan is stuck on the inside like a nail, and he was stunned to carry Whiteside to win the rebound, and his standing ability and arm span and prediction are no worse than Whiteside!

The all-time number one striker is not meant to be for fun! Duncan, both technically and physically, is the best among the all-time power forwards in the league! Not one of them!

Just as Popovich expected, if Kobe Bryant and Liu Ren were both on the floor at the same time, it would be difficult to defend.

But when there's only one person, it's easy to do! Duncan perfectly locked Liu Ren's impact on the inside, without Kobe Bryant to attract defense, Liu Ren played very hard!

And Nick Young, who had high hopes, got into a pit today, with a bad hand, and hit three consecutive shots.

In a wave of 8-2, the Spurs widened the gap to 6 points, and the Lakers were beaten to a timeout!

D'Antoni also saw the opposing defense, and quickly made a substitution to replace Nick Young with Kobe Bryant and McCollum with Marshall.

The timeout came back, and the Lakers attacked.

Bryant holds the ball from the outside, and he wants to use his offensive ability to tear apart the Spurs' defense, and D'Antoni rarely keeps the players down, and he is afraid that Popovich will force up the pace again.

Kobe's old arms and legs can't stand it, although Kobe can run and bang, but his body is too burdened!

D'Antoni brought on Marshall to deal with the playmaker who launched the fast break when he didn't press down the tempo.

But Popovich beat D'Antoni in terms of IQ again, and he had no intention of speeding up now! Instead, defend with a tighter position!

The Spurs' defense isolated Kobe Bryant and his teammates, allowing Danny Green to defend Bryant alone.

In terms of speed, Kobe Bryant really can't compare with Danny Green, and he can't even break through several times, watching the time pass by second, and the 24-second offensive time is about to come.

Pass? Kobe Bryant had no such intentions.

Fight! Kobe Bryant jumped to the right and shot directly to the dry pull-out jumper!

Danny Green reacted immediately to the moment Liu Ren moved sideways, reaching the target position almost at the same frequency as Liu Ren and blocking Liu Ren's shot.

But although Kobe Bryant is old, the bounce height has not dropped too much, what has been reduced is explosiveness and speed, and his full jump height is still so high, Danny Green struggles to jump up and interfere but is still a palm away from Kobe's shooting point.

The arc of the ball is flat, much flatter than the usual shooting arc, and Bryant's shooting arc has been flat due to the excellent bounce height.

Luckily, Bryant's three-point shot hit the back frame and bounced into the basket.

The Spurs attacked, and Duncan held the ball inside.

Duncan in the playoffs is different from the regular season, in the regular season, Duncan needs him to rest more because of the coach's requirements, in addition to the need for strength on the defensive end, the offensive end basically has no role for him, but now it is different, his interior cooperation with Dio is a very important part of the Spurs' offense.

The Lakers can't break through Duncan's defense when they enter the interior, but Duncan is much easier to play the Lakers' interior, and Whiteside, who is rotated up, is at a loss in front of Duncan, and Duncan is also super strong on the offensive end! Even if he is old, he can play at the peak level at a certain time like Kobe.

Whiteside has played against Greg Monroe, who is known as Duncan Jr. as consistently, and Monroe has done a good job of tempo and physical utilization, and Whiteside has no way to guard him one-on-one, but can keep Monroe from getting too close to the basket from the card position.

The genuine Duncan is stronger than Monroe in terms of rhythm and physical condition, and it took a lot of effort, but Whiteside finally had no way to prevent Duncan, and Duncan got a scoring angle, forcing Green to make up for it.

Duncan drew Green's defensive attention and passed the ball to Dio with a low hand, who slipped to the baseline and scored a backhand layup.

The Lakers continue to attack.

The Spurs defense on the outside is very close, and if you break through, Liu Ren can break through the inside, but there is no way to break through Duncan's defense, this is an objective fact, Liu Ren doesn't want to admit it, but there is no way, this is the truth.

But Liu Ren thought about it for a while and found a solution.

"Tim, have you ever heard of bulldozers?" Liu Ren forced his way into the inside line and said to Duncan, who was defending himself.

"Bulldozer?" Before Duncan could react, he saw the little man in front of him leaning on his back, and he suddenly reacted that Liu Ren was going to be forcibly crushed, he thought of Leonard's tragic experience in the regular season, and immediately used all his strength to tie up his horse to meet the impact of the other party.

"This is the bulldozer." After Liu Ren finished speaking, he used all his strength to collide.

Duncan finally feels it now, not to mention anything else, just this anti-heaven power, it simply doesn't make people live!

Duncan used all his strength, plus his weight advantage, but he was still knocked back half a step.

If it was Duncan at the peak of the year, he would definitely be able to block Liu Ren, but as he got older, Duncan was losing weight every year, although it was enough in the last days of this center, but when he encountered a "savage" guy like James and Liu Ren smashed into the inside, he would still sigh that the years were unforgiving.

Seeing that the opponent's second impact was about to come, Duncan recharged his strength and stabilized his center of gravity for the second impact.

Liu Ren looked at Duncan's movements, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, his second impact trend was a feint!

I saw Liu Ren suddenly turn right, didn't touch Duncan at all, and slipped straight across the bottom line.

Duncan quickly turned to defend.

"Oops! Hit the trick! When Duncan reacted, there was a strong force behind him, and Whiteside received a crotch pass and dunked the ball.

"This young man is really strong, and if he can't do it technically, he will make up for it in other aspects." Although Duncan was teased by Liu Ren and blocked by a center, he admired Liu Ren more, and there are fewer and fewer young players like Liu Ren, and most of the young people now are mainly functional players.

Isn't it just the background, which is the hallmark of Duncan's entire career......

Duncan is very disappointed with most young people now, because now he can have a single skill, can defend, and can get a high salary, he misses his youth even more, the league is full of top stars, he misses the era when every game could have an opponent comparable to him, which is like now, there are so many high-paid players in each team, but one by one the word star can't be sidelined.
