"Tim, if it was 10 years ago, this goal, you wouldn't be standing up, right?"

Garnett got off the basket, looked at his old opponent who was stunned at this time, and said with a smile.

The last time Garnett's offense, he ran and hit the iron, and he didn't feel good, but he used his running shot to attract Duncan's forward and stuck Duncan to grab the rebound in the front court.

As a super good defensive player, Duncan will definitely have to make defensive changes in the face of the same situation this time.

Garnett's aging makes his difficult shooting rate poor, and he can be let shoot, mainly to prevent Garnett from using his experience to grab frontcourt rebounds.

So, this time, Duncan didn't jump, and even deliberately took a step back when Garnett came over, giving Garnett more room to sprint.

In the end, it also allowed Garnett to complete this shocking button.

Did you say there was a problem with Duncan's defense this time?

From Duncan's point of view, there was no problem at all.

Even Duncan couldn't have thought that Garnett could ride him to dunk in this situation!

So, as Garnett said, if it was ten years ago, he would definitely not have underestimated Garnett so much.

Just now, he really underestimated Garnett.

Garnett looked at Duncan, who was already expressionless again, smiled, and turned to defend himself.

"Tim, underestimate me, but you're going to be a backdrop."

After turning around, Garnett stopped, finished speaking, and added.

"I almost forgot that the last thing Tim feared was to be a backdrop."

Well?

Duncan looked at Garnett's back in front of him in surprise, and Garnett's voice was full of nostalgia and an inexplicable regret.

"In the past, I was too afraid of being someone else's backdrop, I just wanted to be in the limelight, and I never thought that victory was the most important thing."

Garnett sighed and left.

Left behind was Duncan, whose eyes widened once again.

“KG……”

After retracting his gaze from Garnett, Duncan immediately looked at Dukang next to him.

Duncan's eyes were filled with shock.

Coach D can actually successfully transform the elderly Garnett, who is ready to retire?!

How incredible!

An old veteran ready to retire with no incentive to change.

Therefore, Dukang gave Garnett motivation, restored his physical strength, and restored his strength to eighty percent of its peak.

Then, Du Kang can knead Garnett at will.

When it comes to the Lakers, let alone a mere Garnett, even if it's Danzi and Koko, they have to doubt life!

Du Kang's first season in charge really made Kezi suspicious.

"This game is not easy to play!"

Although the Spurs are still four points ahead, Duncan is already feeling dangerously close.

And for the Lakers fans on the scene, Garnett's super offense just now also made them feel completely different.

"We might be able to win this game! In this game, we still have a chance!! ”

Garnett made two wonderful attacks in a row, which made the Lakers fans on the scene completely enthusiastic.

And the big score of 20-16 at this time really made Lakers fans see an opportunity.

Six minutes later, the game came to an official timeout, and at this point, the entire court became a sea of cheers for Lakers fans.

On the contrary, the Spurs, who are the leading side, feel a little anxious on the bench at this time.

Duncan has faced Garnett throughout his career, and it has not been easy to play.

Duncan's career shooting rate exceeded 50%, and when he played Garnett, the shooting rate was only 46%, of course, Garnett's career shooting rate was also 50%, but when he played Duncan, it was only less than 46%, and the rebounding, scoring, assisting, and blocking statistics of the two were also very similar.

At the same time, Duncan, who has the advantage most of the time, has a 33-19 record against Garnett, but Garnett has also won a lot.

In the 01-02 season, Duncan's MVP season, the duel between Duncan and Garnett was 2-2.

In the 02-03 season, Duncan's MVP season, the duel between Duncan and Garnett was still 2-2.

And the miraculous thing is that the record of the two is tied, the data is also tied, and the performance on the court is also five or five.

It is precisely because of these two years that Garnett has gained a lot of glory, Duncan has laid the No. 1 forward in history in the past two years, and the No. 1 forward in history with a five-five big forward, what grade is that?

As for the other super striker driver, well, in the past two years, the driver has basically no traffic, although he has begun to beat the wolf king, but what, everyone doesn't blow it, and they don't pay attention to it.

So, the driver, the wolf king, and Duncan's three power forwards are actually quite interesting.

The driver restrained the wolf king, the wolf king and Duncan restrained each other, and Duncan restrained the driver a little, the driver couldn't prevent Duncan, but Duncan could defend the driver a little, the driver suffered a lot against Duncan, the two met at the peak of the playoffs, Duncan once brushed 12 consecutive games 20+ on the driver, 25+ in 11 consecutive games, and an average of 30+ points per game in 12 games.

This is Duncan, who is not known for his scores, but when he meets a driver, he has 30 points or 40 points at every turn.

Duncan has 4 40+ in the playoffs, and two of them have been won against drivers.

Do you know why Duncan is the most successful of the three power forwards?

Compared to the wolf king with offensive weaknesses and the drivers with defensive weaknesses, Duncan is perfect.

Because of perfection, no one will suffer.

This is relatively speaking, fighting the wolf king, Duncan is still very uncomfortable.

Duncan played Garnett in his career, and in a total of 52 regular season playoff games, he scored 30 points in 2 games, and shot 50% in 23 games, of which 5 games were just 50%, excluding these five games, 18 games were 50%, which was just one in three.

If you fight three games, you need two iron games.

This is Duncan.

So, after seeing Garnett very excited and in good shape, the reason why Popovich on the sidelines was suddenly so nervous.

After so many years, if you want to say who Duncan's toughest opponent is, it has to be Garnett.

Even if it was beating the driver and O'Neal, Duncan was not so uncomfortable.

Seven of Duncan's top 10 career playoff scoring games were against drivers and O'Neal.

Playing Garnett, there was not a single top-10 scoring game.

Therefore, Duncan's lifelong enemy has actually always been Garnett.

At the end of the timeout, the Spurs attacked, and this time Popovich didn't see Garnett out of shape and hid, although Duncan is now physically disadvantaged.

Although he was set up by Coach D in the set-up, allowing Duncan to face his old rival Garnett with inferior physical strength.

However, Popovich still believes that Duncan's strength should be above Garnett, and now Garnett still has a good limiting effect on Duncan, height and weight, defensive experience and technology, Garnett is indeed the top.

However, Duncan is still stronger!

So, after Duncan passed the ball to Leonard at the top of the arc, he cut into the basket in the same way as Garnett just now.

Duncan didn't plan to ride Garnett.

Instead, he was ready to use more stamina to get rid of Garnett.

Garnett followed him to defend, and with such a long sprint distance, Duncan can still rush.

But Garnett, can he continue to rush like this?

This is not a sprint against Danny Green and Finson on the offensive end, but a sprint against Duncan!

"Garnett will soon be at the end of the crossbow, and after Tim jumps, Garnett can't even jump!"

Popovich was confident.

Duncan, who dragged Garnett, was ready to make a strong layup after receiving a pass from Lenner under the basket.

And Garnett, who was on his side, was not squeezed out of Duncan's way, and actually jumped up with Duncan!!

Groove !!

Seeing Garnett running so far with Duncan, and being pressed by Duncan and still jumping, the audience at the scene and Popovich on the sidelines were all stunned!

"It's time to cap !!"

Almost before Garnett's big slap arrived, Duncan threw the basketball in his hand backwards!

The block that Lakers fans were expecting didn't show up!

Leonard, who had just finished passing the ball, didn't expect Duncan to pass the ball like this, and the difficulty of this pass was very high.

Even if Leonard is a peerless pot with long hands and long feet, it is still not easy to receive such a sudden and difficult pass.

What's more, there's no time to attack!

After jumping high to receive Duncan's pass, Leonard immediately faced Ibanks, threw the basketball in his hand backwards.

With such a difficult shot, Lakers fans on the sidelines felt that it was difficult to watch.

Bang!

Strike iron!

The Spurs, who did not give up on the inside attack, failed again after Garnett came on the court.

Pierce, who grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, didn't give the Spurs a chance to get positioned, so he threw the basketball in his hand to McCarvey and let McCarvey directly launch a fast break.

Garnett, actually ran along!

Garnett ran, and Duncan, of course, could only follow.

"It was Popovich testing Garnett!"

"Now it's Coach D testing Duncan!"

"Garnett and Duncan, two old guys, this game won't be tested and wasted, right?"

The most important thing about this kind of fast-break opportunity is actually to disrupt the rhythm of the game.

"Seth, don't !! so fast"

Seth Curry was originally about to run faster and shake off Dellavedova, but when he heard Garnett's voice behind him, he almost subconsciously stopped.

"Fack! Seth Curry is running back!!! ”

Seeing Seth Curry running back to find Garnett, Antetokounmpo, who had just been replaced by Garnett, stood up dumbfounded on the sidelines.

He played a lot of games against the stinky chess baskets of the Korean team in his dreams, and spent most of his time working on his fighting skills.

Just like when Du Kang just signed the United Arab Emirates, the United Arab Emirates had 7 skills, and no matter how many games he played with the stinky chess basket, in fact, his growth was like that.

Garnett, Barkley, Pierce, these veterans have so many years of experience, not Antetokounmpo, Ibanks, McCarvey and other young people can compare.

Dellavedova didn't even think that Seth Curry would suddenly run back, and he was already a step slower.

Now stuck by Garnett, once again a step slower, in the end, Dellavedova can only watch as Duncan is forced to help defend Seth Curry.

Duncan helps defend Seth Curry, how can this be helped.

And it's in the middle circle here.

In the end, the Spurs could only watch as Seth Curry received McCarvey's return pass from outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right side, and then pulled it high!

Brush it up!

Seth Curry finally scored three points!

It was the first shot Seth Curry hit in this game, and the first three-pointer he hit!

20 to 19!

The Lakers are only 1 point behind!

Because he has been suppressed for too long, Seth Curry, who has been in drought for a long time, ran like crazy after the hit, drove the plane, and rushed to Garnett in the center circle.

After rushing in front of Garnett, Seth Curry jumped directly on top of Garnett.

This opportunity is rare, and next time, there will definitely not be such a good opportunity, this is not a tactic that can be played regularly.

But, so what?!

Lao Tzu played the Spurs in the last game, 2 of 20 three-pointers, do you know how aggrieved Lao Tzu was in the last game?

Keep iron, keep throwing, keep throwing, keep iron.

The coach is still supporting himself and letting himself throw, and his teammates are still supporting himself and letting him throw, but he just can't throw it in!

Counting this game, he played the Spurs, and he has made 18 three-pointers in a row!

The 19th, finally hit!

"Seth Curry seems to have been turned on a switch by KG, and KG is locked a switch for the Spurs!"

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that after Garnett came on the court, the Lakers' interior defense and offense were available.

And after the Spurs came up with Garnett, the defense and offense on the inside were limited.

The Lakers weren't that fast, but they were steady.

"Coach D's Falk basketball is not a constant excitement, it turns out that it can still be played like this!"

"Before this game, Coach D's Falk basketball has been pursuing excitement, so we all thought that Falk basketball was a happy and deadly style of play without controlling the buttons, and now, maybe we need to reacquaint ourselves with Coach D's Falk basketball!"

Listen to O'Neill and Kenny Smith's surprised words.

The look on James' face in front of the driver was not very good-looking.

"Blow what blow!"

What is called Falke basketball and another way of playing, it is obvious that Coach D gave up Falk basketball and returned to tradition!

After Garnett was replaced, Garnett became the protagonist on the pitch.

The previous protagonist was Duncan, who ruled everything on the inside.

Now it's replaced by Garnett, who has better physical strength.

After Seth Curry's goal, the Spurs attacked again, and this time the Spurs finally switched to Leonard and created an opportunity for Leonard.

Leonard faced Pierce's defense, made two consecutive feints, did not shake Pierce, and the third feint turned into a real move, hitting a backward jumper in front of Pierce.

22 to 19!

But then, Garnett singled Leonard under the basket, received the ball, turned around, faced Duncan's help defense, Leonard blocked from behind, and Garnett threw a difficult throw!

Brush it up!

Hit!

Bang!

It also caused Leonard's thug foul.

Seeing that he could hit such a throw, Garnett was stunned again.

Penalty hit!

22 to 22!

"Oh my God, the Lakers finally tied the score again after trailing by 8 minutes!!"

"Not only did it tie the score, but the game was back on the Lakers' side!"

Garnett's physical superiority over Duncan, this one is too deadly!

In order to change the style of play of the Spurs, Popovich played infinite defensive changes, sent Gasol to the Bulls, strengthened the front line, and took the initiative to reduce the strength of the interior line.

Embarrassment to the current Popovich.

After being attacked by Coach D with Garnett, the Spurs are really embarrassed now.

Although it is known that Garnett cannot be in such form every game.

However, this game, Duncan can not play.

If you don't, your physical strength can't be replenished, and you fall into a vicious circle.

The first quarter of the game was over.

The Lakers, who trailed by as many as 8 points, actually led by 6 points 34-28!

What's more!

"Wade hasn't played in this game!!"

"Oh my God, great Coach D, against the mighty Spurs, you can't be prepared for Wade, you can win the game?!!!"

In fact, Popovich did not take this into account in the first place.

The reversal of the game in the first quarter was so addictive to him that he didn't even think about Wade.

Later, he has been thinking about how to help his dear dumb to reverse the situation.

It wasn't until the live Lakers DJ yelled when he didn't see Wade in the first quarter that he came to his senses.

Then, Popovich was dumbfounded.

It should be said, Popovich, the whole person is blinded.

"I'm being held down by a Laker without Wade!"

"Fake, the Lakers are a player with strong combat effectiveness in Wade, and Coach D is now even sealed by Wade, and he can still press the Spurs to play?!"

"Although Garnett is in good shape in this game, it is amazing, and it is impossible to play a game like this in 100 games, but what I TM is that I was suppressed by Coach D with the Lakers without Wade!"

Thinking of this, Popovich was in a trance, and even dizzy.

Nima's!

He even already knows that some media are probably already doing something and hacking him!

And Budenholzer, next to Popovich, was even more shocked at this time.

Ever since Bobo became Coach D again, he has been thinking about what kind of way Coach D will humiliate Bobo in this game.

Unexpectedly, Coach D is waiting for Bobo here!

I didn't expect it, Coach D, in this game, Wade will be sealed, and Wade will not be able to !!

Is this really the case?

Will Wade really not play this game?

For a moment, the whole world was shocked, and the whole world turned its attention to Coach D.

Including Popovich.

The first quarter of the game ended.

During the break, Sister Miller interviews Coach D.

"Coach D, are you sure Wade won't play in this game? Are you really ready to seal Wade in this game? ”

"Didn't you find out? Dwyane was wearing a suit for this game, and I didn't plan to play Dwyann in this game from the beginning. ”

From the start, I didn't intend to play Dwyann in this game......

Look at that smile on the big screen.

Popovich felt like he was going to shut himself up.

Fack!

I'm going to humiliate Coach D, Coach D, I don't care about the outcome of this game at all?

Or is it that Coach D is so arrogant that even without Wade, he can kill himself in this game!

Himself in the heart of Coach D, so dish?

it!!

Budenholzer was so frightened that he almost took two steps back.

This sky-high black gas!

Bobo gets by Coach D!!

In this game, either Bobo is broken, or Coach D is going to be broken!!
