Chapter 960: Knock down the 101st hammer

"Tim Duncan! Congratulations on an incredible career. Thank you for inspiring us with your style of play #Greatest power forward in basketball history. Wade said. Wade has played 13 seasons in the NBA, and by the time he entered the league, Duncan had already won two championships. In 2013 and 2014, the Heat and Spurs met in the Finals for two consecutive years, and both teams won the championship once.

"Eh, Krystal, my favorite uncle won't be playing with me anymore." Jiang Haoran lay on the sofa weakly reading the news, and the crystal rubbed his shoulders next to him, not knowing what to say to comfort him.

Tencent Sports' rookie female anchor Xiao Xiong burst into tears and wrote an original long article on Weibo to praise Duncan for everything she has done in the NBA.

At this time, Coach Li Ke also spoke: "Career regrets: failed to tie Kobe's record!" After the 2015-16 season, Kobe Bryant officially retired, and he played for the Lakers for 20 consecutive years, setting a record for the longest time an NBA player has played with the same team. Duncan had one year left on his contract with the Spurs, and if he had decided to play one more season, he would have had hoped to tie Bryant's record. Unfortunately, Duncan's two knees could no longer support this record, and he had to choose to retire. ”

NBA.com reporter David Aldridge said of Duncan. "As the greatest power forward in NBA history, congratulations to Tim Duncan on the end of his great career." Indeed, as he said, when so many honors are stacked, no one can compare with the Stone Buddha, even if you look through history.

Thorny honey writer Emperor Yao: "The future is yours!" This sentence finally came true, but this time it was Duncan who personally handed over the future to Jiang Haoran, or not to James, to his own people, and the old Deng Shifo still likes Jiang Haoran. ”

Buddy, a netizen who just ended the college entrance examination this year: "On the day Kobe Bryant retired, all the pseudo-fans fell in love with basketball and Kobe Bryant in the space. James won the championship, and one by one the pseudo-fans were moved by James's spirit. Durant huddled, and one by one the pseudo-fans began to scold the street. RTM The real Daxian retired tonight, why don't you see anyone come out and beep. He entered the league in 1997, I was born in 1997, he retired, my college entrance examination ended, everything came so suddenly, so naturally. Even when Li Na retired, I didn't write anything to express my loss. Someone asked, is Duncan really awesome? He never became the first person in the league, but when O'Neal was the first person, he and Duncan competed for the championship, when Kobe Bryant was the first person, he and Duncan competed for the championship, and when James was the first person, he competed with Duncan for the championship. He represents an unyielding life, he is not as legendary as Kobe James, but he is the all-time number one power forward. Tenacity, stability, synonymous with ten years as a day. The curtain call of the hero is endless, and the legend is immortal.

Fortunately, the next legend, the legacy of the 22nd, is here. ”

Duncan's retirement was very sudden, but it didn't seem sudden, this seems to be the so-called Spurs spirit, and the Spurs section has only opened a centralized post like a rock to discuss Duncan's departure together.

Rookie Duncan 21: "I think the Spurs should be the most unlucky team in the NBA, being killed by Maddy in 35 seconds and 13 seconds, being killed by Lao Yu, being killed by Paul, and being dragged into overtime by Ray Allen's three-point rescue, the most helpless thing is that Duncan can be kicked out of the court if he laughs."

Since I got to know the Spurs team, I began to understand that you can't be lucky in anything, we don't have that luck like the Spurs, but there must be gains if you lose, I learned the patience of the Spurs, the kind of stability that does not give up, and the steady spirit of the long stream, this year's championship proves everything, maybe many teams have already rebuilt, but the Spurs told me that as long as you persevere, as long as you are fully prepared, your dreams can really come true. ”

Jiang Haoran couldn't help but praise: "Yes, Spurs are really unlucky, the red mamba has become good after eating so many sandwiches, and Leonard has a stomachache after eating one." ”

As soon as Jiang Haoran appeared, everyone was excited, and they left comments hoping that Jiang Haoran would say something, and many people asked Jiang Haoran if he knew about it?

Jiang Haoran typed this text under the gaze of Chu Long and the others:

"I didn't know that Duncan was going to retire, I thought he could play for another 10 years and be my spiritual pillar all the time, what a happy thing it would be.

I'd like to talk about what I love about Spurs, and I hope you understand Tim Duncan's decision because of that.

In the dressing room of the spurs, there is a picture frame with a motto: "When everything seemed to be useless, I went to see a stonemason knock on a stone, and he knocked it 100 times in a row, and the stone still didn't move, but when he hit it 101 times, the stone split in half." I knew that it wasn't the final blow that cracked the stone, it was the previous 100 strikes. ”

The Spurs are the only stonemasons in the NBA, and when you think they're old and they're not good, they're going to knock down that 101st hammer and they're going to crash.

I like to knock that 101 hammer, when facing the Grizzlies' brutal defense, we can use one-on-one tactics to open up the situation, when facing the Thunder's crazy bite, we can use the pass and the team to beat them, the opponent may run faster than the Spurs' old guys, but can you be faster than the pass, the Spurs' teamwork is an artifact against the years.

There are so many doubts about the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals, I still want to win against them, we beat the opponent 3-1, and we are always hopeful.

I don't know if there is no Duncan, no Bobo, we would still be so sensible, so calm, maybe this is the spirit of the Spurs, the heritage of the Spurs, the success of the Spurs is no accident, this is the Spurs team represented by Popovich after 20 years to build a tactical and cultural system, unique in the league. What's special about the Spurs is that they have superstars but don't rely entirely on them, and in this team, everyone has a chance, everyone can be the game-finisher, and the Spurs have always been eclectic about talent.

I struck the 101 hammer, and this hammer was passed on to me by Duncan! ”

"I can see that you have a deep relationship." Xiao Crystal said enviously, they are teammates, but they are more like the division commander, the teacher's departure made Jiang Haoran sad and confused, and now he can't contact Duncan, he can only spread it through text.

Xiong Meow is not a panda: "Jiang Haoran, then I want to ask you a question, are the Spurs preparing for the ball?" ”

Jiang Haoran replied: "The Spurs have always been the guardian of the traditional basketball spirit, not seeking quick success but meticulous carving, this team is the NBA's great stonemason, calmly knocking down each hammer, and then patiently waiting, wiping off the sweat when the stone finally breaks, and then starting from the first hammer, and the cycle will endure."

We're not going to follow the crowd, we're just going to be ourselves. “
