Coach D has to fight defense with himself, and he fights defense in the rhythm of death that he is good at, and Popovich, who was originally excited, became even more excited.

It should be said that at this moment, Popovich has never been excited!

Coach D is the most recognized head coach in the NBA right now, and is considered the strongest head coach, which he can even admit.

"But, Coach D, you've never seen, or even thought, how powerful the demon is that is about to return!"

In such a rhythm, Tim, is absolutely invincible!

Many people say that Tim's hard power is on par with Garnett, and Popovich does not refute this, and the hard power of the two is indeed very close.

But in such a rhythm of the game, in the rhythm of defense, Garnett and Thiem are not a level team, and the two of them are not a level player in terms of control of the game and judgment of the game!

As a result, the ability of the two to lead the team and their influence on the game have never been at a level!

"That's why Tim is the all-time big forward in the NBA, and Garnett isn't!"

On the court, the Spurs attacked, and after Finson dribbled past half court, he did not attack, but immediately handed the ball to Duncan to organize.

Duncan, who was standing at the top of the arc to answer Finson, received Finson's hand-handed pass, did not stop the ball, dribbled the ball, and did not even observe, and immediately returned the ball to Finson.

Catching, receiving, passing, covering, all in one go, Duncan even stood in place, not even moving.

But it stuck McCarvey, who was chasing Finson.

If Finson had scored this goal, it would not have been counted as Duncan's assist, and Finson did not attack at the first time.

However, Duncan's role in the Spurs' offense is absolutely insignificant.

It's so clear!

Almost showed the way for Finson.

Parker in front of the TV looked at Finson, who had found a breakthrough on the TV, and his eyes were full of nostalgia and envy.

In 2003, it was Duncan who led him and Manu, who were still a group of rookies, and they all the way to the finals.

In the game, scoring, rebounding, assisting, stealing, blocking, Duncan can do anything!

Duncan at that time was the strongest player he had ever seen.

At that time, any Spurs player was full of security by Duncan's side.

"As long as you have Tim by your side, no one will get lost......"

Finson, who averaged close to five assists per game for the Pacers, has played a playmaker role with the Pacers, and even let Finson play key moments for the Pacers.

Finsen has this ability.

Coupled with Duncan's hands-on guidance, Finson knew where he was headed.

If Finson did it himself, he must have felt that he could break through in the face of Garnett.

But Duncan's hand-to-hand pass was directed, and his path through Garnett was blocked, and his route to the inside was blocked.

Instead, Finson's route to the outside opened.

Didn't go inside.

It's outward!

This made Garnett, who switched to defend Finson, very uncomfortable.

If Finson goes inside, even if it's James, he can have the confidence to block it.

But Finson went outside.

If he goes out, then Duncan must be going inside!

Without him under the basket, Duncan, invincible!

Terrible!

Even as an opponent, Garnett can only be said to be powerful at this time.

Someone else's pick-and-roll and cover-up is just pick-and-roll and cover.

Duncan's blocking and covering can command his teammates how to attack.

As a player at the level of the best defensive player.

Garnett hesitated briefly, but made a quick decision.

Stephenson's shooting ability is inconsistent, and Finson is not Parker!

There's no need to go out.

If Finson could really shoot, he would have confessed!

Garnett opted for a conservative defensive option.

Garnett is not confident in his current athletic ability, and he is afraid that he will not be able to come back if he goes out.

Seeing Garnett's choice, Du Kang on the sidelines frowned and did not speak.

Garnett didn't follow.

Finsen was surprised and really let himself go!

Finson is not a timid coward, he was the main force of James and the Heat in the East back then!

One step in the three-point line, stop, turn, jump, lean, shot!

Coherent!

Brush it up!

Hit!

2 to 0!

The Spurs scored on their first offense.

Finson, who didn't think about being released, was very excited and happy after hitting this long-distance shot, so, after scoring the goal, he ran back to Garnett's side excitedly, if Garnett was not so tall, as tall as James, Finson would probably blow and taunt Garnett's ears.

Even if he didn't blow into Garnett's ear, Finson still engaged in a wave of Garnett's mentality.

"KG, you hesitated like a just now, hahahaha......"

Finson's words were very ugly and infuriating, not to mention Garnett, and even Pierce next to him couldn't help but rush over and make a move.

But Pierce was finally pinned down on the shoulder by a frowning Garnett.

At the same time, the arrogant Finson was also pressed down on the back of his head from behind.

Duncan gave Finson a few strokes on the back of his head, then grabbed Finson's collar and stepped back into his defense.

Looking at Finson, who was slipped away by Duncanty, Pierce was still very unhappy.

"KG, that kid is too arrogant!"

"He's right."

Well?

Pierce was dumbfounded.

I heard you right, right?

KG said, "Finson's kid is right?"

KG was scolded and humiliated, actually, endured?!

The Lakers' first offense in this game was blocked by the Spurs, and McCarvey was even given a wonderful pegboard hat by Biyombo.

But the Spurs' first wave of offense hit.

Such a comparison made many commentators and experts on the scene even laugh out loud in advance.

"Hahahaha, Coach D wants to fight with Popovich defensively? Is this the kind of defense that makes Coach D extremely confident? It seems, it seems, some dishes, hahahaha......"

"I don't know where Coach D got the confidence to fight with Popovich defensively, but as far as the Lakers' defense is concerned, Garnett's hesitation made his teammates not know whether to go over to make up for Finson or go to make up for the basket, which gave Finson a chance to be completely empty, maybe this is KG's problem, maybe this is Coach D's problem, but Popovich's team, there will never be such a problem! I swear, Duncan, there will never be a problem like Garnett's! ”

"Coach D may have made the most wrong decision of his career, this series will make it clear to the whole world that Coach D is not invincible, and Coach D also has shortcomings!"

"Hahahaha, Coach D said before that his defensive ability can be published in a book, is it possible that all the names written in Coach D's defensive book are Garnett's name? Hahahaha......"

Listening to O'Neal and Kenny Smith laughing like this, McHale had mixed expressions on his face.

If it weren't for Coach D's words before the game, a posture of fighting with Popovich on defense, this time the Lakers' defensive failure was just a defensive failure, and no one would laugh at Coach D.

But......

McHale sighed.

As Coach D's old rival and sworn enemy, McHale certainly likes to see Coach D deflated, but this time......

McHale sighed again.

On the pitch, the game continues.

Lakers offense.

The same super difficult defense, the same team does not have a super strong outside playmaker, so it needs inside playmaker Garnett to organize the offense.

Also covering for his teammates, Garnett has a low offensive threat on the inside compared to Duncan, so the Spurs' defense has consciously expanded outward.

I have to say that this kind of low-tempo defensive game, with a super strong inside singles player, can play a lot of tactics.

That's another big difference between Garnett and Duncan.

"In such an extreme positional battle, Garnett is almost no threat!"

"Oh my God, compared to Duncan just now, is Coach D going to torture KG in this game? The contrast is too strong! ”

"Coach D should develop a tactical system tailored for KG in this game, instead of using Duncan's tactical system to compete with Duncan!"

"KG now seems to have his hands tied by Coach D!"

Under the defense of the Spurs, the Lakers, who had no chance at all and had no offensive threat at all, could only play the ball to Pierce and throw one against Leonard's defense.

Eventually, there was a bang!

Strike iron!

Once again, the Lakers' offense failed.

After Pierce struck the iron, the Lakers fans at the scene even let out a desperate sigh.

Even Kobe Bryant sighed at this time.

"It's almost 24 seconds!"

Yes, if it weren't for Garnett's pass to Pierce in time, it would have been 24 seconds!

"The gap is too obvious! The gap is too obvious! ”

Nash, behind Du Kang, his lips were trembling at this time.

The Spurs on the court at this time reminded him of too many shadows of the past.

"No, this Spurs' defense is stronger!"

Looking at the coach who was still silent in front of him, Nash was very puzzled now, really, really puzzled.

"Coach, why are you playing against the Spurs in this way, why?"

"Is it really to prove that you can be the first in history in defense, so you really sacrifice your team and your players?"

"I don't believe it, I definitely don't believe it!"

Nash, of course, doesn't believe that.

Kobe, Maizi, Yao Ming, Yes, Roy, Carter, Iverson, they don't believe it.

People who know Coach D don't believe that Coach D is such a person.

But for those who don't know Coach D......

"Coach D at this time is so stubborn and so selfish!"

"Coach D in this game will shatter the dreams of I don't know how many players, after this game, Coach D will no longer be the coach of their dreams!"

"Congratulations to Popovich for pulling Coach D off the altar!"

"Maybe Popovich fulfilled his pre-game declaration, Coach D, maybe he was really killed by him, that holy Coach D is no longer sacred, he was really killed by Popovich!"

The start of this game between the Lakers and the Spurs was too dramatic.

O'Neill and Kenny Smith's emotions were almost immediately full.

Except for desperate Lakers fans, most of the neutral fans are in a state of fullness at this time.

Even Adam, the current vice president in power of the NBA, joked with a smile on his face.

"David, your eyes are always so interesting, James, Coach D, you think they are white moonshine, they all end up becoming black moonshine that hurts you."

Coach D ended up being James!

This one is so much fun!

"In other words, everyone is just James, James, it's human nature!"

Even Coach D is no exception.

If people don't do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!

On TV, the Spurs began their second offense.

This time, the Spurs still have Duncan attacking and Finson playing together, just like Duncan and Parker back then.

Parker shoots better than Finson.

Finson is taller, more impactful, and wilder than Parker.

At the end of the day, two people are not the same style of player.

However, Duncan and these two people with completely different styles are matched without any sense of rustiness at all.

It's so tacit!

This time Finson and Duncan cooperated, Garnett decisively pounced, Finson did not have any chance, and finally could only face Garnett's defense and jump up to hit Duncan, who had already cut in.

When Duncan received the ball, he was very close to the basket.

At this time, the person who came over to fill in the position was Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo is pushing Duncan hard, and the defensive rules that can be played are back, which is still very beneficial for defensive players.

Let the players who are not so heavy also have the strength to fight.

But who is Duncan?

The No. 1 striker in history has even been bare by wheat now!

Duncan had changed his rhythm in order to fight against Wheat.

The current Duncan, in terms of offensive rhythm, even Maizi can't be provoked.

Antetokounmpo didn't have any strength, and it was good that he still had the strength to spare.

Now in order to defend Duncan.

Antetokounmpo has already made a move, which is too simple for Duncan.

Sideways, the shoulder stuck Antetokounmpo, Antetokounmpo couldn't move, and wittily chose to retreat, which was to pull away and prepare for the final block.

Very witty and a good choice.

But......

Duncan jumped up on the spot, threw it with one hand, and threw the basketball in his hand!

Antetokounmpo is stupid!

In Antetokounmpo's judgment, this time, Duncan will definitely pretend to attack to deceive him, he has already lost his position, and he will not lie to him.

But!

Duncan didn't lie to him this time!

Brush it up!

Duncan hit the board with a 45-degree throw!

4 to 0!

After the hit, Duncan looked at Antetokounmpo, who was surprised at this time, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Manu was deceived by you, you, not honest."

Well?

Antetokounmpo's eyes widened as he looked at Duncan, who had already turned away.

What do you mean?

Don't?!

Duncan was actually trying to lie to me!

If I were an honest person, Duncan wouldn't have to fake at all, I'd just jump.

Smecta!

I've been tricked by Duncan!

The anxious Antetokounmpo even burst out of his native language!

The number one forward in NBA history is really powerful!!

How did TMC stop him the year before last?

How did Yao stop him last year?

In fact, these two people didn't stop him in the end...... All of them allowed him to complete his evolution.

No, in last year's All-Star Game, Master Olajuwon also allowed him to complete an evolution.

Duncan ...... now

In such a rhythm, after masking the weakness of his declining athleticism.

That's really......

"Strong!"

"Invincible!"

Even Maizi and Yao Ming in the stands on the sidelines sighed subconsciously.

The pace is so good!

Duncan's pace of racing right now is too good!

"Watching Duncan play now, it makes me feel as if I saw TMC and Yao at the beginning, and there is an indescribable charm......

Kobe Bryant said with wide eyes.

On the sidelines, looking at Duncan, who was killing at this time, Popovich's face became even more excited.

"So Coach D, I should thank you!"

"It's you who let me have such a Tim!"

"It's you, with your own hands, who have dug your own grave for yourself!"

In fact, looking at Duncan like this, Du Kang on the sidelines was also a little surprised.

Duncan is strong, which is why he wants to poach Garnett in the offseason anyway.

Because in the past two years, he and the Lakers really almost died at the hands of Duncan.

It's just that......

Duncan's strength was still beyond his expectations.

As far as Duncan feels now, even if he doesn't play a defensive battle, Duncan will finish his Falk basketball and five small.

As for Garnett, if he can't change himself, it will be difficult to stop the current Duncan under the basket.

Peak Garnett can block Duncan, who was at the peak of the past.

But the current Garnett will definitely not be able to stop the current Duncan.

Garnett hasn't changed.

No, it can't be said that it hasn't changed, he can play center.

He's more well-rounded on the defensive end.

However, it was only a change in the body, not in himself.

He, in fact, is still the wolf king, the former wolf king.

Duncan, on the other hand, is always evolving.

Therefore, it was Duncan who was killing indiscriminately at this time, and Garnett was embarrassed.

So, at this time, it is the Spurs fans who are excited, and the Lakers fans who are desperate.

Of course, McHale was also desperate.

Garnett's fans are also in despair.

Is there a grudge between our KG and D coaches?

Coach D would rather fall off the altar than humiliate my KG!

Now, the whole world thinks that Coach D is doing this game, this is to humiliate Garnett, and to let the world see how big the gap between Garnett and Duncan is.

Deliberately!

"The Lakers' offense has failed again!"

"10 to 0!"

"The Lakers were beaten 10-0 in the opening game!"

"Coach D is going to take a timeout, oh my God, Coach D didn't take a timeout, Coach D stood on the sidelines and shouted!"

Seeing this scene, McHale stood up excitedly in front of the TV.

"Coach D, I know, you want Garnett to prove yourself, others say you want to be above the team, others say you want to prove that your defense is also the first in history, but I know that you want KG to prove yourself, but, KG's control of the game, influence, indeed, is not as good as Duncan...... So, why the hell are you?!!! ”

Why?

Soon, McHale knew.

Du Kang stood on the sidelines, looking at Garnett, who had been beaten by Duncan, Du Kang sighed, and then!

"KG, if you don't make changes now, when will it be?"

"Could it be that in your career, you just want to be a spectator of Duncan?!"

"Are you willing to be ridiculed for not being worthy of Duncan's side?!"

"Now, it's time for you to tell the world that you are Duncan's lifelong enemy, the best opponent in NBA history, whether at your peak or now, or in your career!"

"KG, don't you want to be Duncan's back, Duncan's back that you can never get rid of!"

Soon, the world of excitement, the world of ridicule, all fell silent again.

Soon, the excited Popovich, the disdainful Popovich, directly widened his eyes.

Soon, Nash, Kobe, Maizi, Yao Ming, all of them were stunned and their hands trembled.

Quiescence!

The whole world is silent!

Duncan, Garnett, looked at Dukang on the sidelines in amazement.

And after a moment of silence, O'Neill's eyes widened, and his voice trembled and shouted!

"Oh my God! Coach D is not selfish, Coach D, it is for Kevin Garnett!!! ”

"It's all for Kevin Garnett!!"

But!

Garnett, is he worthy?

Garnett, does he deserve to be treated like this by Coach D?!

Garnett, the shadow of Duncan who was surpassed by Nowitzki and became the laughing stock of many people, does he deserve to stand with Duncan again?!

Garnett, does he deserve it?!

"Crazy, Coach D, crazy!!"
