Most fans have the impression of Duncan's offensive end as a wiping shot, which has become his characteristic offensive method, whether in the paint area or on the wing, he can always use rebounds to score the ball, and the 45-degree angle of the left and right wings is even more accurate.

But what few people know is that Duncan's cross-cut hook is even more powerful, but few people can force him to use this trick with great effort.

When he first entered the league, Duncan was not famous for playing boards, but made a small hook layup after a high cross-cut breakthrough, which was his most proud offensive method, and O'Neal, who had used this trick, was speechless.

However, with the retirement of the Admiral, the Spurs have not had a good reinforcement in the center position, so Horry has to play power forward, and Duncan will play a cameo role in the center position - thanks to the aging of the Sharks, thanks to the withering of the league center, otherwise Shi Buddha would not play the center position, because of this problem, he once almost fell out with the Spurs and followed Grant Hill to join the Magic.

After becoming a center, Duncan's high post offense has gradually decreased in recent years, and the low post offense has become more and more common. Such a change has little impact on Shi Fo, his low-post offensive skills are very good, because of his strong strength, fast foot movement, fast turn, and realistic feints, he can often shake off the opponent in the low position with a back turn after holding the ball, so he is gradually willing to play the center position, until this season's **** Comet Chamberlain was born!

Coming to the familiar low post again, preparing to hook up again, Duncan is full of confidence, he is ready to use this trick to teach the Warriors a good lesson, let you let go of me, let you underestimate me, and let Evans defend me, and Evans doesn't fucking go around when he defends me, isn't this looking for death?

He didn't believe that Evans could guard against his hook, but the fact happened unexpectedly - Evans jumped after Duncan took off, his arm span, height, and bounce were not as good as Duncan's, and it was wishful thinking to try to block the other party.

However, he was not delusional, but pulled Duncan's raised right arm and pulled him down directly.

'Toot', the referee blew for a foul on Evans, who also raised his hand in agreement.

Duncan stood on the free throw line in frustration, Chamberlain picked up the ball and handed it to the referee, and when he went back, he yelled at Duncan: "Hey, baby, there are 100 million fans watching you in front of the TV right now, you must get this damn ball into the hoop!" ”

Duncan glared at Chamberlain hatefully, standing at the free throw line, he sighed sadly, aimed at the paint area in the middle of the rebound and threw it, silently chanting in his heart 'Hit the board must hit', the result was very cruel, the basketball simply bounced out after hitting the paint area.

Seeing this, Evans exclaimed, "Man, beautiful board!" ”

Parker frowned and reminded Duncan: "Don't care about these **** raisers, Tim, don't play the board, this is a free throw!" ”

Duncan secretly cursed in his heart, didn't Lao Tzu know that this was a free throw? Who the fuck rules that free throws are not allowed on board? Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil. Muttering in his heart, he took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, then adjusted his shooting posture and shook his wrist to shoot the free throw.

'Bang! The sound of striking iron sounded, and Duncan couldn't help but scold: "I believe in him!" ”

Chamberlain picked up the rebound and passed to Billups, who patiently organized his teammates to run and pass, the ball kept passing in the hands of several people, Jackson used Chamberlain's cover to shake off Finley and run along the baseline to the three-point line, and Billups passed the ball when he saw this.

After receiving the ball, Jackson jumped quickly and shot the basketball hollow into the net.

It was Spurs' turn to attack again, and this time Evans came up and went around to interfere with Duncan's possession, but Duncan used his nimble footwork to reach the top of the box and still get the ball in his hands.

Seeing Duncan get the ball, Evans grinned and rushed up, pushed behind Duncan, pressed Duncan's back with strong pecs, and pushed him hard to push him out of the low post.

In this way, it is exactly what Duncan wants, because he is very good at backing when the opponent is pressing.

The reason is that Duncan is too smart, he is very accurate in judging the center of gravity of defensive players, and often can judge the opponent's center of gravity when the defender is just on top, so as to turn to the other side of the center of gravity, plus the speed of turning is fast, so the success rate of such a back hit is very high - with his speed and explosiveness, once he is thrown away, how many can he catch up?

In addition, Duncan's back play also has a characteristic, that is, the pace is varied, which often makes the opponent unable to find his shot, so that he cannot block. However, since last season, due to the gradual increase in age, Duncan's footwork is not as flexible as in the past, so he has gradually increased the number of back shots based on feints, which are very confusing and coordinated, so the success rate is still high.

This time, after judging Evans' defensive center of gravity, he immediately shook his shoulders and took a step across the latter to shake off the latter, and after passing Evans, he put away the ball and took three steps, raising the ball with both arms to make a layup. Only then did he take a step, flanking out a Jackson and tearing him off.

It's free throws again, and if Duncan didn't know what the Warriors were planning to do, he wouldn't have gotten a bachelor's degree in psychology in college.

Knowing that the Warriors were going to talk about their free throws, Duncan gritted his teeth and stood on the free throw line, and he secretly warned himself in his heart: "Tim, don't panic, isn't it just a free throw?" Ha, have you forgotten that you hit 20 free throws in a row last night? Well, I also missed ten free throws in a row last night - damn it, how can I think about this, I don't want to think about it, hurry up and make free throws, damn God forbid I must hit both free throws, go back and I'll give you more incense! ”

'Whew! ''Bang! ’

"!" Duncan's grinning mouth closed again, watching Chamberlain easily win the rebound, Shi Fo's face began to look wrong.

At such a critical juncture in today's battle of Tianwang Mountain, Duncan's free throw hand is really not good, although his board is still as accurate, although his back is still as sharp, but he can't play it, the Warriors continue to foul, and the Spurs' offense has encountered a crisis.

In more than 3 minutes, the Spurs only relied on a layup by Ginobili to score two points except for free throws, while the Warriors bombarded indiscriminately, and the Spurs players were angry and wanted to play foul tactics against Chamberlain, but he hit four free throws in a row, and the Spurs were colorless.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Warriors quickly extended their lead to 56-44 and took the lead to double digits, which was fatal in a key game like Tianwang Mountain, and Popovich had to call a timeout to personally mention Duncan's beloved apprentice.

Popovich's admonition to Duncan is simple: use your talents to help your teammates score.

Duncan's offense is not only reflected in his good individual ability, but also in the team's offensive system, his strong response ability, high quality blocking and pick-and-roll, good vision of the ball, although not as good as Chris Webber can organize the team's offense like a defender, but the offense is definitely more than enough.

In addition, his pick-and-roll ability is particularly strong because of his speed, accurate mid-range shots, and great threat, which allows Ginobili and Parker to make the most of their breakaway strengths. Duncan is very good at reading the opponent's defensive level and can always find the most reasonable way to handle the ball, so it is simply impossible to really block a player of his level.

Seeing that the score is getting bigger and bigger, Duncan finally calmed down and did not go head-to-head with the Warriors, for other super interior players such as Garnett or Nowitzki, this kind of similar evasion is absolutely unbearable, but Duncan doesn't care, he only cares about how to win the championship.

At the critical moment, the Spurs players were also very powerful, Bowen and Ginobili's three-pointers passed through the net, the Spurs' accurate shooting made the Warriors' defense chaotic, Duncan seized the opportunity to attack the basket, the Warriors players didn't have time to foul for a while, and he scored 5 points in a row, so that the Spurs completed a 13-3 attack **** after the scoring efficiency improved, and chased the score to 57-63 in one fell swoop.

But since then, the Spurs have not narrowed the difference, the Warriors saw that the Spurs counterattacked momentum, and the players launched all kinds of frenzied fouls on Duncan, causing Shi Buddha to dare not take the ball, as long as he got the ball Jackson and Evans fouled repeatedly, in addition to O'Bryant and Barnes, Harrington, and Petrus on the bench were all warming up, their intentions were clear, as long as their teammates were fouled and sent off, then they went on the court to continue to foul Shi Fo.

Billups motioned to his teammates to stabilize their positions, and there was a treasure in the family, especially with a veteran of the FMVP level like Billups at home, which was even more wonderful, Billups didn't just talk empty words, he led by example, and hit a three-pointer in the top arc of the three-point line without mercy in the face of Ginobili's defense.

However, the Spurs' resilience was by no means matched by the Warriors, as Billups' three-pointer provoked a revolt, and Parker rushed straight to the basket to cause a foul on Chamberlain, who made two free throws to help the team tighten the score.

Then Billups assisted West for a layup, the Spurs looked for a chance to get revenge, and it was Parker who found the gap again and rushed into the box, this time he was blocked by Chamberlain after the jump, and the ball was slapped directly to the frontcourt, Billups seized the opportunity to play a fast break counterattack to get two valuable points.

Duncan deserves the honor of his top superstar in the league, the Spurs attacked again, the Warriors strengthened their defense, the ball circulated between the outside players several times but no one could find an opportunity to attack, Duncan ran back and rushed out of the restricted area with Evans and then killed back, Ginobili passed the ball in time, Duncan got the ball and faced Chamberlain's defense with a cross-cut hook, this time Evans didn't have time to foul and Chamberlain had already carried four fouls and didn't dare to reach out, so he watched the ball fall into the hoop.

With less than 30 seconds left in the third quarter, the Warriors held a five-point lead at 71-66, and Billups decided to kill the offensive opportunity, dribbling to the front court and not moving forward, slowly dribbling five or six meters from the three-point line.

Chamberlain came out on the inside of the three-point line to help Billups block the pick-and-roll, and Duncan pushed away Evans and stared at Chamberlain vigilantly.

10、9、8、7……

With five seconds left, Billups moved, and he suddenly increased the frequency of his shots, his strong body running forward like a cannonball, and then threw the ball towards the rebound.

"Boom!" A muffled sound, Duncan's heart sank and turned his head to look, Evans hung on the hoop like a majestic style, Spurs fans suddenly sighed, Chamberlain just left the restricted area and attracted Duncan and Oberto together, Billups did not follow the usual path, he did not believe in strength as the criterion, believed that Evans, who had not scored a point in this game, sent a subtle assist.

That's the level of a super point guard!

The Warriors couldn't help but high-five in celebration, and the Spurs prepared for the final attack with Parker.
