Spurs starting five: Tony Parker, Roger Mason, Michael Finley, Drew Gooden, Tim Duncan

If you don't look at the age structure, the Spurs are definitely at the top of the league with this lineup!

Starting point guard Tony Parker, a French sports car, was once hailed as the NBA's most affordable guard.

The super fast speed of advancement, once holding up half of the Spurs with the lowest rookie salary.

A good ability to take chances, as well as sharp breakthroughs, his breakthroughs complement Ginobili, and his peripheral shooting in key moments is also his killer feature.

As the Spurs' main point guard, Parker's playmaking talents are also on full display here.

As Duncan grew older, Tony Parker propped up the Spurs' offensive system and was one of the most important players under Popovich.

Roger Mason, a mediocre shooting guard who came back from his training in Europe, is one of the most accurate marksmen in the league!

Popovich's lineup is never short of accurate sharpshooters, with well-known Danny Green, Patrick Mills, Marco Belinelli......

Although it has the most retro positional play, it has one of the best marksmen in the league.

The little-known player carried the Spurs' three-point firepower in the absence of Parker and Ginobili at the start of the season, and repeatedly completed three-point shots.

He is also the only player in the league to rank in the top 10 for both three-point shooting percentage (44.9%) and 3-pointers (97).

Mason helped the Spurs immensely well from the three-point line, which led to his invitation to participate in this year's All-Star Weekend three-point contest, which was his first time on the All-Star court.

Small forward Michael Finley!

The Dallas Mavericks' team celebrity, once one of the league's best swing forwards!

Outstanding physical fitness, supple shooting feeling, positive defensive attitude, role model for young players in training, the first goal of the team to win, never get into trouble on or off the court, is the kind of player that coaches can rest assured of.

It's a pity that time has changed, and now Finley is 36 years old, and in such a confrontational arena as the playoffs, Finley's playing time will definitely be limited.

Power forward Drew Gooden, a power forward player who belongs to the upper middle and upper reaches of the league, as a blue-collar player, has a stable offensive means and is extremely active in rebounding, which can be regarded as one of the reassuring players.

At last!

The cornerstone of the Spurs' team is also the current starting center Tim Duncan!

With the retirement of those who were extremely dominant centers, Tim Duncan, who played more of a power forward position in the early part of his career, was more of a starting five role in the latter part of his career.

In today's league, except for Yao Ming's ability to put pressure on Duncan at the No. 5 position, Howard, who is known as the first center in the league, is difficult to limit Duncan's play on the offensive end.

In addition, on the Spurs bench, there is also the "crippled foot" Bruce Bowen who is hated by Carter, this is a ruthless character, a dirty dog who wears the same pants as Popovich.

The good thing is that Bowen is already 37 or 8 years old, and it is difficult to play more time on the court.

Thunder starters: Lowry, Lin Mu, Durant, 28 cards and Jordan Jr.!

Sephorosa was pressed to the bench, and Jeff Green was also on the bench.

Scott's most ferocious starting lineup during the regular season, if Jordan Jr. can't limit Duncan's play, it doesn't matter, and the backup center Collison, this meat shield inside, although he can't prevent Duncan, but the consumption of it will be huge!

I can't go back and wait for these two goods to be moved, so I directly let the 28 card top to the No. 5 position, Jeff Green is ready for the No. 4 position, and the Thunder's competitiveness is still huge!

"Great chance!"

"A chance to win!"

Looking at the lineups of the two sides, this was the conclusion that Lin Mu finally came to.

Spurs are too old!

The youngest Tony Parker is 28 years old, not to mention the veterans with an average age of at least 32 on the bench, under the Thunder's youthful and fierce offensive, as long as they don't make mistakes, they have 70% certainty of winning the opponent!

70% of the playoffs is not low!

A whistle blows, and the game begins!

Lin Mu's first trip to the playoffs, the first playoff game with the Spurs, kicked off in a state of full of people!

"The race is on! Tim Duncan is as steady as ever, and the Spurs attack the ball! ”

Tony Parker held the ball firmly in his hands, was not afraid to face Lowry, and had a very strong desire to attack.

Relying on the jumper after the single-block cover was unusually easy, Parker was not disturbed too much, and his overall ability level is much higher than that of Kyle Lowry at this stage.

But!

Just one round of offense doesn't mean anything, and in retrospect, the Thunder also put together a wave of extremely delicate coordination.

Lowry held the ball on the line, Durant and Lowry, who were very offensive threats, blocked and dismantled, relying on flexible speed to get rid of defenders, and the Spurs were told by Popovich in advance that of course the Spurs would not dare to miss the defensive intensity of Durant, Finley did not leave an inch, completely ignoring the gaps that may occur after changing defenses.

After a short period of unguarded, Lowry gave full play to his imagination on the offensive organization end, and successfully found Lin Mu near the bottom corner with a ground-hitting pass that didn't look at people, Lin Mu did not hesitate, dribbled one step forward, made a decisive shot in the middle distance, and hit the basket steadily!

"Excellent defensive ability, accurate judgment style, calm play, and strong attacking ability in the transition attack!"

"The only drawback, the mid-to-long-range shooting needs to be strengthened, and the offensive means of holding the ball with the back are not too much...."

"But is this shot resolute, is it really going to be bad for mid-to-long range shooting?"

Looking at the analysis of Lin Mu by the Spurs bishop team, Old Man Bobo's entire brows were about to be pulled together.

In the old man's opinion, the most difficult person in the Thunder team now is not Durant or anyone else, but Lin Mu, who was just selected by the Thunder with the No. 4 pick this year!

At the beginning, the old man also wanted Lin Mu as a player, but his record in recent years has been among the best, and he has no chance to get a higher draft pick.

As for trading draft picks, are there any valuable players on the Spurs?

Either he is old, or he can't trade, after all, the cornerstone role of GDP, Popovich is 10,000 reluctant to break up and reorganize these three people.

Now it seems that Lin Mu's growth has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, I knew that this was the case, what Tony Parker, plus a Bruce Bowen, will exchange with you like Lao Tzu!

Spurs' offensive round.

Parker and Duncan found Duncan down after blocking and dismantling, and Duncan received the ball with a very chic 45-degree angle to hit the board, signature move, and hit with one hit!

Unpretentious but extremely efficient offensive methods, ten years of stability, is the key cornerstone of the Spurs to maintain a strong team demeanor all year round!

Little Jordan smiled bitterly and shook his head, this old boy doesn't talk about martial arts, how can he be like this during the regular season, he will sacrifice his signature mastery as soon as he comes up, and he doesn't spare any effort at all!

The Spurs just scored, and the Thunder immediately went fast!

Lowry served on the bottom line, a long pass that didn't look at people found Lin Mu who had already ghosted to the Spurs half, Lin Mu did not hesitate after receiving the ball, strode past Roger Mason in front of him, and sent a tomahawk crackle while the Spurs' front line was not yet stable!

"Lin Mu was very excited at the beginning! The Thunder's first two athletic scores were covered by Lin Mu, and in this case, Popovich had to come up with a strategy to effectively defend Lin Mu. ”

There is no doubt that Lin Mu, who has scored two goals in a row, has become a target that the Spurs must focus on!

Looking back, Mason had a half-empty three-point opportunity from the outside, shooting 44% from the field and not wasting precious shots, and the three-pointer went into the net!

Mason's true colors at the beginning of the season, with the arrival of the playoffs and Popovich's trust, his on-court state is also full!

The two sides played back and forth, no one could help anyone in the first quarter's offense, Lin Mu once again pierced the Spurs' basket with a mid-range shot, turned around and defended desperately, forcing Mason to make a mistake when he hit the ball, the Thunder team's three-line fast attack, and finally Lin Mu completed the basket finish!

12:8！

With the Spurs trailing by four points, Popovich called a timeout.

Judging by his expression, he was very dissatisfied with the offense and defense in these two rounds.

On the basketball court, the most terrible thing is not falling behind, nor not shooting goals, but falling into the rhythm of the opponent and being led by the nose to run!

Obviously, the current Spurs are stuck in the offensive rhythm of the Thunder, and there are huge holes on the defensive end!

ATT Center Arena, in the VIP box!

A kind-faced white-haired old man was looking at everything that had just happened with excitement!

In the first game of the Thunder, how could David Stern, the chairman of the league who deliberately touted Lin Mu, miss his first game?

Even if he wasn't invited, Stern would be interested in watching the NBA league upstarts vs. veteran powerhouses.

In 02, that is, in the summer of 7 years ago, Da Yao's inclusion successfully opened the NBA market in China.

And Lin Mu's appearance made Stern see greater hope!

Huaxia, which is rapidly integrating with the world economy, has become one of the indispensable roles in the world, and now Stern's ambition is not limited to opening the entire Chinese market after Lin Mu appears, he wants to use Lin Mu to build it into a basketball god belonging to the world, and he wants to open up the whole Asia, and even the whole world!

So this Thunder team has become one of the teams that Stern focuses on.

After watching the performance of the first few minutes of the thunder, Stern's inner thoughts were strengthened.

A fancy, fast offense will always be more appealing than a dull defense.

Why?

Quite simply, who wants to spend hours in front of a TV watching a dull and slow-paced game?

Self-torture?

Or endurance training?

This is also the reason why the Spurs are playing so well, but the league does not praise Tim Duncan.

The honest and honest style of play and the dull offensive team atmosphere are destined to become the new darling of the league!

I vaguely remember the finals in my previous life, and seeing the Spurs' iron bucket array arrangement, Stern's face immediately turned dark.

What is basketball?

Look at the Thunder's gotten off to a start tonight!

Attacking quickly while retaining a tough defensive system is a sublimation of modern basketball!

Let's take a look at Lin Mu's playing style, appearance, and temperament....

One in a million!

David Stern smiled in relief.

This is the star that the league should be championing!

The timeout is over, and the game continues!

The most effective solution for the Spurs to run into trouble is to hand the damn ball to Duncan!

Duncan singled Jordan Jr. on the inside, crushed the position without suspense, and used his huge body to easily squeeze past the opponent and then hit the board with no difficulty.

The Spurs, who have no problems on the offensive end, have the biggest problem with effectively limiting the Thunder on the defensive end!

To put it simply, Lin Mu is in good shape today, and the Spurs are going to cool down Lin Mu!

Coming back to his senses, Bruce Bowen stood in front of Lin Mu!

In the first round of the competition, Popovich pressed Mason on the bench, and the trusted "Heavenly Broken Foot", the DPOY player will be responsible for defending Lin Mu!

Glancing at Bowen, who was shorter than himself, Lin Mu didn't even make superfluous technical moves, just a jump shot after dribbling, and adjusted the angle at the moment of landing, not giving Bowen any chance to step on his feet.

"Huh!"

Lin Mu, who had already opened his hand, steadily hit two points in the long distance!

"It's so easy to use!"

Forcing Wang Bird's mid-range shooting package not only brought Lin Mu an improvement in the shooting end, but also a change in mentality.

This scene made Popovich on the sidelines shake his head again and again, and there is one thing to say, the Spurs really can't find a player who can completely match Lin Mu.

Taller than him is not as fast as him, faster than him is not as tall as him, when did a rookie become the most difficult presence on the field?

You know, this is just his first game!

The holes on the defensive end were made up for on the offensive end, and with the same move, Duncan scored twice on the inside, continued to crush Jordan Jr., and scored the ball without difficulty.

After scoring the goal, Little Jordan quietly glanced at the head coach on the field, obviously, the look of bowing his head and contemplation made Little Jordan have mixed feelings in his heart.

Is this how my first playoff journey is going to end?

But what can I do?

It's Tim Duncan on the other side!

Lowry handed the ball to Durant on the left, and in front of Durant, Finley tried to defend, but it was clear that the footwork was completely unable to keep up.

Using the advantage of footwork to break directly into the interior, Durant deliberately adjusted his shooting hand under the interference of Duncan's long arm, but he was unlucky, and the basketball slammed in front of the rebound and failed to score.

Duncan grabbed the rebound, Lin Mu took a super step and hurried back to defense, and before Jordan Jr. ran over, he had already found his defender, a steady man with the title of Stone Buddha.

Duncan didn't expect that Lin Mu, who had an obvious height gap, would choose to defend himself at this time, even if Little Jordan lost his defensive position, it should be 28 cards to make up for the defense, not Lin Mu.

Even so, Duncan still did not underestimate this year's No. 4 show, Lin Mu directly opened his hands, like an eagle with wings, and completely covered Duncan, who was preparing to play under the basket, in his defense!

"In the first round of attack, I must defend it!" Lin Mu was ruthless in his heart, for the first time in the NBA playoffs, he must go all out!

What if you're the No. 1 in history?

It can be seen that he is very hard at this time, and even he admires himself a little!

"Pay attention to the defense! , pay attention to the defense! ”

Glancing at Lin Mu, who was facing Duncan, Scott was obviously a little uneasy, shouting loudly on the sidelines, asking his teammates to be ready to help defend at all times.

Duncan glanced at the empty basket, and then at Lin Mu, who was trying to defend in front of him, not to mention, this physical static talent, It really made Duncan a little envious, his arms were too long, even if there was a certain difference in height, he could completely cover himself with his excellent arm span.

YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE HEIGHT GAP BETWEEN LIN MU AND HIMSELF IS AT LEAST 6CM!

Duncan held the ball in his right hand, walked up directly in two tentative steps, and suddenly, his hand was stretched high, and he shot at great speed, the target, and hit the board into the frame!

You know, Duncan's shooting and hitting the board is one of his specialties!

But!

"Sting!"

An extremely discordant voice sounded, Duncan's eyes tightened, and he watched Lin Mu's exaggerated arm span, perhaps the tip of his middle finger, rub against the bottom of the basketball, changing the trajectory of the basketball to a certain extent!

How can it be?!

My fame stunt, was broken by the other side?
