"Oh? It's really stubborn, there was no adjustment at halftime" Vicky looked at the Timberwolves players on the court with some joy and thought to himself, now the Timberwolves' offense in the second half is still Garnett-led offense, in fact, the Timberwolves' offense was initiated and led by Nash before, if it was Nash's led offense, the Timberwolves' offense would play more fluently and reasonably, and when Garnett dominated, the Timberwolves began to be a little frizzy. Of course, Vicky also knows that Garnett is so frizzy today mainly because of Duncan, and now Vicky also wants to take advantage of this time to let the Spurs overtake the score.
In fact, it is very difficult for Garnett to play Duncan, but it is not very easy for Duncan to play Garnett, the current Garnett is not two years ago, two years ago, Duncan can completely suppress the Timberwolves' interior line with one person, and even only one person can fully contain the Timberwolves, the Spurs defeated the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Finals because of Duncan's outburst, but now, in the face of this Garnett Duncan is also playing very hard, but Duncan is better than Garnett is that he knows what to do very well, He also knows very well how he can help the team, and he doesn't need to prove anything to Garnett, all his styles of play are the most comfortable for him, so his success rate is also much higher than Garnett, so this game is currently playing Duncan to suppress Garnett, and the Spurs are also in a stalemate with the Timberwolves for this reason.
Of course, in terms of overall strength, the Timberwolves are more than one level higher than the Spurs, so even if Garnett's offense is in trouble, it is difficult for the Spurs to open the score, and other Timberwolves players can also score, which makes the Timberwolves have a very strange picture on the court, every time Garnett holds the ball, the Timberwolves will have offensive problems, and every time Nash holds the ball, the Timberwolves return to normal again. That's it, once again, the Timberwolves and Spurs are always biting the score.
"Kevin. I don't think Garnett seems to be a little different from the first half, but I can't say in detail," the ABC commentator looked at Garnett on the court, and then said to McHale next to him with some confusion. This is actually an illusion, and on the bright side, Garnett seems to be no different, still in a tug of war with Duncan. But Michaels has always felt a little different, he is no longer a novice commentator, he has watched many, many games, and it can be said that his observation and sensitivity to the players or situations on the pitch are no worse than anyone else's.
"Well, that's right, it's changed" McHale glanced at Michaels with some surprise and continued: "Garnett began to adjust the rhythm of his offense after the start of the second half, although he is still sitting under the basket and playing, but he is also constantly adjusting, judging by his hook this time. In the first half, Garnett leaned more on Duncan when he took the shot, and now he leans out, although the goal still hasn't scored. But I think he's found his rhythm. He's already starting to learn to use the most familiar and powerful forces in the other party's domain," McHale exclaimed as Garnett took another step forward.
"Use the most familiar and powerful power in the other party's domain?" Michaels asked, looking at McHale quizzically. He didn't quite understand what that meant.
"Well, it's actually very simple, in the first half Garnett was more attacking with brute force, and after the start of the second half, he was using his arm span more, and now every time he attacks, his body is floating out and leaning back, and the back play under the basket is Duncan's field, and in Duncan's field, Garnett began to find his own way to play"...,
In fact, for Garnett, he should have learned this way a long time ago, but it is obvious that he did not understand before, Duncan has always been his goal and idol, he has been living under Duncan's shadow, which has also made him unconsciously deliberately imitate Duncan, when he has been imitating Duncan, how can he find his own advantages and strength? He can't win against his opponent either."
"I think Coach Z is also very aware of this, so the reason why he will be so indulgent to Garnett in this game, he wants Garnett to understand that he and Duncan are completely different, if Garnett still needs to imitate Duncan in the past, then Garnett is not needed at all now, he can step out of Duncan's shadow."
"Now, Garnett is starting to understand this, I think the next game will be very interesting, the battle between Garnett and Duncan starts now, maybe the next ten years or even longer These two people will continue to compete" McHale looked at the two entangled insiders on the court again, and couldn't help but feel a little admired and a little disappointed, these two people are undoubtedly geniuses, even the only genius in NBA history, these two people can live in an era is a very lucky thing, Neither of them will be alone this way, and McHale is a little reminded of his previous playing days, and he really wishes that he could live with these two people in the same era, and it is definitely a blessing to have such an opponent, but obviously it is impossible to happen again.
Michaels now understands what McHale meant, and of course knows the reason for his delusion, but he is still a little skeptical about McHale's statement, can Garnett really be evenly matched with Duncan right away? And in Duncan's strongest field, Michaels still can't believe it.
Michaels couldn't believe it, but Duncan on the court believed it, because he had already felt this crisis, every time Garnett's offense was adjusting, if he attacked once or twice, Duncan absolutely believed that this opponent would find his own way of attacking, so this time when Garnett found himself again, Duncan was extremely serious and vigilant.
Duncan is very vigilant, and Garnett is very excited, this kind of game is so cool, in the past he rarely had a game with so many people to attack, he now feels like he has found a door, a door that is about to be pushed open by himself, and even Garnett can't help but think that as long as he pushes open the folding door, he can really enter Duncan's world and stand in the same room as Duncan, so Garnett has failed many times in front, But he really felt that the door might have been pushed open after this attack.
"Whew. It's this time," Garnett took a deep breath and walked up to Duncan again. This time he obviously felt more pressure coming from behind him, this time Duncan's defense was the strongest, in fact, in the front time Garnett already felt that Duncan was improving his defensive intensity every time. But Garnett believes that this time is definitely the strongest, and Duncan will not have room for improvement in the future, thinking of this, Garnett became excited again.
In fact, Garnett was always very eager to use the progress under the basket to beat Duncan. But every time it failed, this time Garnett still started with a basket, and then shook it twice before jumping again.
This time it was still a hook shot.
Almost at the same time, Garnett and Duncan both jumped.
"Huh? This is! Vicky on the sidelines was shocked to see Garnett after the jump, although the two jumped at the same time this time, but Vicky could still feel that Duncan was still in an advantage this time in defense, and even could block Garnett's attack, but Garnett did not jump straight after the jump, but after a confrontation with Duncan in the air, he did not use his strength to squeeze out the space like in the first half. Instead, it floated off with ease, and the ball flew almost past Duncan's fingertips. …,
brush, the ball flew past Duncan and fell directly into the basket. Garnett also fell to the ground because he lost his balance. Duncan fell from the sky and looked at Garnett with some surprise as he was lying on the ground, still chanting words. At this time, Duncan's eyes were also a little distracted.
"That's what it feels like, that's what it feels like. I finally caught it, I finally caught it, I saw his shadow, I finally saw him" Garnett sat on the ground and muttered excitedly, and at this time the Timberwolves fans in the audience once again let out the biggest cheers, this game finally evolved into a one-on-one between Garnett and Duncan, in fact, this trend is not bad for them, but Garnett has been pressed by Duncan before, which also makes them a little depressed, Now that Garnett has scored that goal, it's clear that these Timberwolves fans have also found a way to vent their frustration.
"Hey, Kevin, are you alright" Nash and Pierce surrounded from all sides and said that Garnett was helping him up, which also made Garnett come back to his senses a little.
"Hehe, I'm fine, don't worry, now the game has just begun, we will definitely win" Garnett said excitedly to his teammates, and the others were a little relieved when they heard it.
"Coach, this is the first time Kevin has beaten Tim head-on in this game" Timberwolves bench assistant coach Stephen Green on the sidelines said to Zhuang Fei with a shocked face, Garnett actually beat Duncan?
"Well, this is just the beginning, from now on it will be Garnett vs Duncan" Zhuang Fei smiled and nodded, while Green on the side was depressed.
Now is Garnett vs Duncan? So wasn't it Garnett vs Duncan in the previous game? Who is that Garnett in front? The more Green thought about it, the more puzzled he became, but he couldn't ask when he saw his mentor like this, so he could only bury this doubt in his heart, obviously he also knew that he was far inferior to his coach in terms of vision.
"Garnett's success rate has gone up, and now he is really on par with Duncan under the basket?" Michaels also looked at Garnett, who had begun to compete with Duncan on the court, and said, since that hook shot, Garnett's basket offensive success rate has suddenly increased, and it is simply a bit unstoppable, which is the same as Duncan's field in Duncan's field, so does it mean that Garnett will surpass Duncan after this game? Thinking of this, Michaels was shocked again, he really didn't think that there was anyone in the world who could surpass Duncan, the former boss of Wake Forest has now begun to be considered the most powerful power forward in NBA history, which is a historical bug.
"Kevin, will Garnett really surpass Duncan? Duncan doesn't have an absolute advantage over him now," Michaels asked McHale, who was next to him, stunned. To his surprise, McHale shook his head almost without hesitation.
"No, Garnett has just entered the same level as Duncan now, and Duncan is already a player at this level, Garnett can use his strongest strength in other people's fields, and Duncan can also do this, even more proficient than Kevin" McHale said lightly, he doesn't know if Garnett can surpass Duncan in the future, but he knows that he definitely can't now.
Although Michaels is still a little skeptical, he no longer doubts McHale's words, and his vision is definitely higher than his own for this Hall of Fame insider.
Just as McHale finished, Michaels saw one of the best individual showdowns of his life.
Garnett has proven that he can play his strongest strength in Duncan's best field to do the same thing as Duncan, and similarly, when the game is slowly advancing, Duncan also stepped into Garnett's field, the two are no longer limited to the matchup under the basket, Duncan has also begun to attack on the perimeter, wiping the board on both sides of the court, mid-to-long-range shooting, and even dunks directly from beyond three-point dribbling. At this time, Duncan and Garnett seemed to want to show their weapons to everyone, and the two of them were like an offensive kaleidoscope, showing all their skills.
The players of the Duncan Timberwolves are very familiar, this is an omnipotent player, but it is also the first time they have seen Garnett is also omnipotent, this is a player who can have the same strength as Duncan, and the same as the Timberwolves players, the Spurs players are also the first time to see a player who has the same strength as Duncan, at this time the Timberwolves players and Spurs players on the court almost subconsciously handed over the entire court to these two people, at this time all tactics and playing styles are redundant.
Now it's the stage for these two people, and no one can insert into it.
"Is this the strongest strength of the two, it's really terrifying" Michaels thought again in distraction, and at this time the vicky on the sidelines had begun to tremble. The mouth is also constantly muttering.
"How can there be another power forward in the world who is as strong as Duncan, how is this possible"
On the other side, Zhuang Fei showed a mysterious smile.
