"The starting lineups of both sides came out, and it seemed that Coach Step-Dunleavy had made a careful arrangement, they changed two starters, and the playmaking guard was Shaun Livingston, who was 205 tall, and Tony looked like a high school student in front of him; The shooting guard is still our super rookie, and unsurprisingly it will be Bruce Bowen who will defend him; Today's Clippers' starting small forward is the team's original sixth man, a player who is good on both the offensive and defensive ends, and it seems that he is working hard against Manu, and the power forward and center are still Chris and Noah; There is no change in the lineup on the Spurs' side, the inside line is still Tim and Matt Bonner's partner, and our super rookie on the outside line today is really going to be tested by mental defense experts, but Gu's running position is a difficult problem for anyone to solve, the back line is a combination of Argentine demon knife and French sports car, wow, look at Eva came to the scene today, maybe this will make Tony burst out with huge energy! ”

"Noah and Tim jumped the ball, but Tim didn't seem to be able to jump anymore, and Noah easily got the ball!" Wharton teased Duncan lightly.

"Yes, the current Thiem is no longer the Tim who created the Spurs' no-fly zone with the 'Admirals', but his jumping does not affect his strength much, Tim is proficient in interior offensive techniques on offense, mainly reflected in the back play with the ball under the basket, the breakthrough or shooting after holding the ball on the flanks, especially the 45° shooting on the left and right wings.

In defense, he can accurately predict the opponent's position, is good at disrupting the opponent's offensive rhythm, the first time to make up the defense, good card position awareness and accurate judgment of the defensive rebound landing point. In terms of mentality, Duncan is expressionless on the court, and he has a strong mental quality! Wharton's words caused Hoffman to sigh for a long time, and sure enough, older people love to remember the past.

"yes. Tim is a man with no thunder on his body and no anger in his eyes, but his hands are always clenched, one hand is clear, and the other is ordinary. No one on any of the great stone mountains would think of Duncan's poker face, but the stone Buddha reflects the all-encompassing greatness. ”

Ignore the two seniors' feelings about Duncan and return to the game on the field. In the time when the two recalled the past, the Clippers had completed their first offense, Gu Fei did not participate in this offense, the ball was handed to the inside Carman, and it was the greatest power forward in history Tim Duncan who defended him, and then it turned out that Carman was far from being the opponent of Duncan, who was said to be old, and the basketball almost didn't even hit the frame under the interference of Duncan's long arms.

Duncan immediately turned around to control the defensive rebound after the defense was successful, turned around and immediately handed it to Parker, Parker dribbled the ball steadily through the half court, Livingston immediately stepped forward and the whole person directly covered Parker and blocked all his breakthrough routes, but Parker did not move. He's waiting for all his teammates to be in place.

Duncan plunged directly into the three-point line after half time, leaning on Noah's back and reaching out for the ball, Parker saw it and hung the ball high into it, even Livingston's long arm had no way.

After receiving the ball, Duncan shook his shoulder a few times, but Noah was not fooled, and then he directly began to arch in, but immediately he found himself moving Noah, and leaned on himself again.

The basketball bounced past Noah's fingertips and into the basket, and Gu Fei, who was standing on the three-point line, had to admire Duncan's strength. This simplest shot has been taken to the extreme by Duncan.

"Thiem is as consistent as ever, with a standard shot from the board to open the scoring for the Spurs!" Wharton said when he saw Duncan score.

"That's what Tim makes people do horrible things. Steady makes people feel hopeless, as if any defensive style doesn't interfere with him, he definitely deserves the honor of being the number one striker in history! Hoffman also gave Duncan a very high evaluation, you must know that the first in history is not so easy to be.

Watching Duncan score a goal, Gu Fei definitely experienced Bowen's defense, leaning on Bowen and starting to ask for the ball.

I have also carefully understood Bowen Gu Fei, who played 101 NCAA games in four years of college. Unfortunately, in the 1992-1993 NBA draft, no one cared. After playing four seasons in the CBA league in the United States and the basketball league in France, he returned to the NBA and played for the Celtics, Heat, and 76ers. He has been with the Spurs since '01 and has won three NBA championships with the team as a regular player, and has been in the league's defensive team since the 03-04 season.

When it comes to his defense, the swingman in the league is a change of color, the league's top perimeter defense master, and the touchstone of the top swingman. Relying on undivided attention to defense, tough close interference, and imposing tremendous pressure on the ball/receiver. Comparatively, guards who are tall defensively and have the ability to carry the basket have a hard time. There are a lot of small movements that are criticized, and he is widely criticized for his tasteless black feet, but he seems to be very indifferent to these, and he still goes his own way.

Relative to defense, Bowen's offense pales a lot. In addition to his well-known two-corner open threes, he often uses a turnaround defense to add a basket or jumper as an offensive tool. The only thing worth mentioning is that he shot 40% from three-point range. It has never been a necessary choice for the team's offense, and there is basically no one-on-one offensive ability. The free-throw shooting has inherited the Spurs' collective habit of shooting a staggering low percentage (63%).

As for the physical fitness, it can only be said that it is average, relying on reasonable use and exercise, maintaining a good physical condition, and the speed of foot movement and confrontation ability are still at the peak.

When he paired with Bowen, Gu Fei knew why so many people looked disgusted when they mentioned Bowen, his small actions were too many, and compared to him, Gu Fei's last Iguodala was really nothing. Under Bowen's interference, Gu Fei almost failed to catch the ball, which is incredible for a top shooter like Gu Fei, but Bowen just did it.

After catching the ball, Gu Fei turned to face Bowen head-on, but before Gu Fei could make any moves, Bowen started his trash talk.

"Rookie, this is just the beginning, you see that you almost can't catch the ball, as a senior, I advise you to pass the ball out and then go home and practice for a few more years!"

Gu Fei could clearly feel a special ruthlessness from him from Bowen's words, but just one sentence could make Gu Fei retreat, and put on a three-threat posture Gu Fei was ready to attack.

As soon as Gu Fei's posture was put away, Bowen used his kraft candy defense to stick it directly, and that small movement never stopped for a moment, attacking Gu Fei wave after wave.

Gu Fei hit it with force on his back, where would the thin Bowen be Gu Fei's opponent, Gu Fei was knocked out of a half-step, Gu Fei used the distance of this half a step to break through, but Gu Fei just finished turning around and found that Bowen immediately appeared in front of him, and then remembered that Bowen not only made small movements to defend his footsteps but also top-notch, and then Gu Fei tried again but still didn't find a way, and finally could only pass the ball out in desperation, and the first attempt ended in failure! (To be continued.) )
