，

At the beginning of the second quarter of the game, both sides changed the rotation lineup, and the Spurs changed all the others except Duncan who remained on the court, and now the Spurs' lineup is Duncan as the center, Marik Cross and Jeromy Corsey as the forward, and the guard line is Antonio Daniels and the Bulls' former three-point king Steve Kerr, this is a pure big four small lineup, it can be seen that ** Vicky is ready to change the rhythm of the team, although Colsey and Cole are already old, But when it comes to facing the Timberwolves, the outside rotation definitely has their own characteristics, such as Stephen Kerr's three-point shot. This player is a famous three-point player in the NBA, although his form has declined seriously this season, and he may no longer have the courage he had in the Bulls, but as long as he is on the court, he must not be ignored.

Tim Duncan took the initiative to ask for the ball under the basket, he was the most normal player of the Spurs in this game, and he has also become the most trusted player of the ** Vicky, although the nominal boss of the team is David Robinson, because of David Robinson, Duncan also gave up the center position to the power forward position, even so, but everyone knows who is the real core of the Spurs, and Duncan himself knows very well what kind of position he is in this team, now the team is behind, and the others are not in good shape, At this time, he has to take responsibility, and at Wake Forest, Zhuang Fei once told him what he should do when the team is in trouble.

Duncan took the initiative to seek a single with Garnett, and the Timberwolves power forward Dean Garrett, who originally wanted to help the defense, retreated after seeing Garnett's signal, Garnett was like singled out Duncan, this summer offseason, in Wake Forest, Duncan humiliated Garnett one-on-one under the basket, Duncan's performance also made Garnett understand one thing, if he wants to be more dominant, he must increase his basket strength, because the NBA's most dominant player is always the inside, And the most dominant player on the inside will always be the center, not the power forward, to achieve higher achievements, he must learn how to make himself a top center, a top center like Duncan, the summer months of training for Garnett is a huge improvement, although he may not be proficient enough under the basket offense, but the defense under the basket has been extremely sè, after all, it is Tim Duncan who gives him defensive training.

Now, facing half of his own master again, Garnett wants Duncan to see his progress. He would never allow anyone else to meddle in it.

Duncan asked for the ball, Stephen Cole immediately hit the ball to the basket, Duncan is a very other player, and Garnett is also a very other player, these two can be said to be two strange big forward positions in Zhuang Fei's later life, these two are also the focus of media experts comparison, both of them are balanced offense and defense, and their skills are comprehensive, but Duncan is slightly stronger in defense than in offense and Garnett is slightly stronger in offense than in defense, and Duncan's offensive point is inside, center, and Garnett is slightly outside, Neither of them is a power forward in the traditional sense.

In the face of Garnett's defense, Duncan was very calm, Duncan, who had his back to Garnett, first made a pretended half-turn breakthrough, but Garnett was not deceived, and he was very stable in his position, and Duncan did not think that he could fool Garnett once, but after half turning, he turned around with the momentum, and then jumped and threw the ball with his right hand, even Garnett's ultra-long arm span failed to block this throw.

Hit the board, hit.

"It's really not changed at all, it's not bad to be stable and ruthless" Zhuang Fei shook his head with a wry smile off the court, while D'Antoni next to him glanced at him with disdain, and said in his heart, it's not all you trained, this season the Timberwolves have encountered many challenges from top players, three of which are the most difficult for the Timberwolves, one is O'Neal of the Lakers, one is Carter of the Grizzlies, and the other is Duncan of the Spurs. Two of these three were trained by Zhuang Fei, which once made D'Antoni admire Zhuang Fei's training ability.

On the other side** Vicky nodded with satisfaction, he was really lucky to be able to get a player like Duncan after that injured season, for Duncan, he didn't have any requirements, because this player is so perfect, he has always been curious about what kind of head coach can teach such a player, it can be said that he is quite looking forward to Zhuang Fei entering the NBA, when he saw Zhuang Fei lead the young Timberwolves in his first season in the NBA whirlwind,** Vicky knows better than others that Zhuang Fei is definitely not a "whirlwind coach" who comes and goes quickly, it should be said that the coach who can adjust a player like Duncan is definitely not an ordinary person, **Vicky looked at Zhuang Fei on the other side, saw Zhuang Fei shook his head, **Vicky was secretly happy in his heart, now Duncan is my player, a player of the Spurs.

Garnett now has a certain gap in ability compared with Duncan, and Garnett himself is very clear about this, so after being scored by Duncan, he didn't say anything, just went to the front court silently, he knew very well in his heart that he also had Duncan's fault.

Garnett and Nash block at the free throw line, after blocking and dismantling, Nash took the ball to the left and cut it, Garnett cut right, and then Nash threw the ball to Garnett across the person, Garnett was almost in the same position as Duncan just now, receiving the ball in high-speed movement, emergency stop, Garnett's series of actions still did not get rid of Duncan's defense, Duncan is not fat, when defending and dismantling, Duncan is not lazy, but Garnett is not surprised, after the emergency stop, he first leaned sideways to Duncan, then pulled, and then turned sideways, Already throwing Duncan off a big step, and finally Garnett got up and hit a step-back jumper, which also hit.

Seeing the goal scored, Garnett waved his fist fiercely, he had two choices just now, one was to cut inside to the basket and hit Duncan with his back, and the other was to hit Duncan in the current face frame, if he met other opponents, Garnett would choose to play back, because the shooting rate was higher, but this time in the face of Duncan, he chose the way he was most familiar with.

In the rotation time of the second quarter, Duncan and Garnett became the protagonists, although the two played back and forth very lively, but Zhuang Fei on the sidelines couldn't stand.

"After Duncan played center, all of Duncan's abilities were activated, and the Spurs' offense was also all played" Zhuang Fei frowned on the court, Duncan mentioned the position of the center, not only that he is closer to the basket, easier to score, and the efficiency and shooting rate are also higher, but more importantly, he can contact the outside line very well in the strong play on the inside, and the admiral is a lot worse in this area, but Duncan is not bad at all, the internal and external connection mentioned in basketball is generally the connection between the center and the guard, this connection is very subtle, For example, the Rockets' Olajuwon and the King's Divac are also two different styles of connection, one is to respond to the outside of the three-point line, the other is to respond to teammates to cut inside, and now Duncan is undoubtedly the former, he now compresses the Timberwolves' interior very much, which gives the Spurs a great opportunity to shoot on the outside, and now he is linked with Kerr, which makes the Spurs attack a lot higher under the premise of not bad defense.

"Tim revitalized our team's offense, the Timberwolves put too little pressure on the team inside, Garnett chose to play very outside, the shooting rate cannot be guaranteed, Tim, who has not been tested much on the defensive end, can be said to be very comfortable leading the team to chase points, he is now a center and point guard of the Spurs alone, maybe David can not be on this game, it is a bit wasteful and cumbersome, the opponent's Timberwolves' set of inside, Tim is enough alone" ** Vic on the sidelines looked at the Spurs on the court in surprise, Obviously, he was also surprised by Duncan's play, because of the existence of David Robinson, Duncan has always been the team's big forward, so Duncan's strength must not be able to play 100%, he knows this, but last season even Duncan, who played power forward, was still strong and finally entered the NBA's best team for a while, which made Vicky mistakenly believe that even if Duncan plays power forward, he should be able to play at least 95% of his strength, and there is no big waste, but obviously, That argument doesn't hold up with the performance in this game.

The Spurs still haven't made substitutions, and the Timberwolves have all replaced the main force, but the Timberwolves still have no way to take Duncan on the court, and the more the game goes on, the more shocked Vicky's heart becomes, because Duncan's strength in this game has exceeded his imagination, and he is entangled with the main force of the Timberwolves with a group of substitutes.

Duncan is excited right now, and it reminds him of his time in Wake Forest, where he can run around under the basket and go wherever he wants, and the whole blue bottom is his territory, which is a great feeling.

"Oops" Zhuang Fei was taken aback. D'Antoni next to him was puzzled, although Duncan led the Spurs to bite all the time, but after all, the Timberwolves can also score, and the score has been suppressing the Spurs.

"The Admiral is not expected to be on this game, facing the Timberwolves who only have one strong point on the inside, only Duncan needs to solve the problem alone, and Duncan After playing the center, the offense and defense have simply improved a notch, which makes the Spurs not suffer a loss in defense, but they have improved greatly on the offensive end" Zhuang Fei broke out in a cold sweat, and D'Antoni was the same, he actually forgot that the Spurs on the court were actually a group of substitutes because of the Spurs' play.

Duncan with a bunch of benches and the Timberwolves' main team entangled in a win-win tie is very problematic in itself. D'Antoni was also horrified.
