Chapter 347
In the most intense fourth quarter of the Lakers and Spurs, because Coach D stubbornly gave up his stage, Duncan directly occupied the stage that originally belonged to Coach D.
Three attacks in a row, in such a fierce game, it was definitely an earth-shattering thing.
It can be seen how well Duncan rested in the previous games.
The current Duncan, although he is not so fast and does not jump so high, but Duncan, who has even developed his dumb eyes into weapons, has definitely reached another realm.
In fact, Duncan has been evolving since he participated in the Super God War during All-Star Weekend last season and was consecrated by Olajuwon.
It is precisely because of Duncan's existence that Du Kang wants to get Garnett no matter what.
This season, the Western Union is dancing wildly, Yi Jianlian and Curry of the Warriors, Durant and Wei Shao of the Thunder, and Harden of the Rockets, and many strong players have emerged in the Western Conference this season.
But Dukang has always regarded Duncan as the biggest rival the Lakers could face in the West.
This is not without reason.
If it weren't for Garnett, Dukang would never think that his Lakers could beat Duncan in the playoffs.
Well, I'm talking about the Lakers without Yao Ming, Kobe Bryant and Maizi.
Because apart from these three, the Lakers really can't find a player who can have Duncan's level.
What kind of realm is this realm?
The realm of the god of basketball!
Such a player can create miracles!
If you want to talk about hard power, Bosh, who was once the NBA's No. 1 young power forward, is definitely one of the strongest power forwards if he is not injured.
The uninjured Bosh, the stats, the ability, looks better than Duncan.
However, if the two are directly opposed, even if the peak Bosh with an ability value of 94 meets Duncan, who has such a realm, he may be beaten!
Bosh and Duncan never met in the Finals, and after Bosh came to the West, he didn't meet Duncan in the playoffs because of injury, so this kind of thing didn't happen.
However, Du Kang can be 100% sure!
Because, no one knows better than him what it means to be a player in this realm!
They can't be supernatural in every game in a series.
However, they can choose to play at least one, two, or even three super gods, and their control of the game can be referred to Jordan.
You can refer to Yao Ming, refer to Maizi, and refer to Kobe.
Their control of the game, how amazing it was.
Therefore, Duncan in the fourth quarter, after getting a very full rest, beat the Lakers as soon as he came up, and Du Kang was really not surprised at all.
This is normal.
The current Duncan, as soon as he comes up, goes all out, if he can't beat the Lakers, it is abnormal.
That can only say that Duncan's luck in this game is terrible, and his hand is also terrible.
So, at the post-match press conference, these reporters on the scene were already making a frantic noise.
A lot of people are already pointing fingers at Du Kang.
Many reporters from the hook or Zhan department were already full of excitement and expectation and schadenfreude on their faces at this time.
As for the reporters from China, they were all worried about Du Kang at this time.
"No matter how good Coach Xiao Du is, he would never have thought that his trust in the Lakers' assistants and players would be such a result in exchange, right?"
The Chinese reporters at the scene were really going to cry.
was directly knocked down by such an old Duncan on the offensive end, this Nima's!
They really want to curse!
With such worms, which eye did Coach Xiao Du use to see their talents?
Why does Coach Xiao Du think that everyone is in the middle of the Lakers?
These worms, including Garnett, who was beaten three times by Duncan, are all waste!!
Especially Garnett, who performed so well in the previous game, but at the critical moment, he once again dropped the chain on the offensive end!
"It turns out that even if KG hones his passing well, at critical moments, passing, and organizing, it is still useless, and the most useful thing is to attack! Even Yao Ming, who is known as the strongest organizational insider, the reason why he is so strong as an organizational center is because of his super singles ability and personal offensive ability!
And the ability in this area, KG, no!
KG has gone far, far in its own way of basketball, but if you go the wrong way, the farther you go, the more people sigh!
Coach D, took KG on a path that could never be the strongest!! ”
Listen to O'Neill's roar at this time.
It can be said that at this time, O'Neill really said the voices of everyone on the scene.
Although Coach Xiao Du has evolved with Garnett, Garnett has really been led astray by Coach Xiao Du, and the organization is the strongest, which is indeed the characteristic that distinguishes Garnett from Duncan and Nowitzki.
However, compared to Duncan's under-the-basket offense and Nowitzki's shooting.
Garnett's organizational ability, no matter how strong it is, has no direct lethality!
Assists, in the NBA, are never a notch of stats for scoring!
In the NBA, no stats, and scoring stats, are not of the same grade!
"Coach D, the strongest hard power in the NBA, doesn't he even understand this?!"
O'Neill, the dead fat man, is starting to bring rhythm again!
You might as well just say that Coach D may not be the strongest coach in history, or else, you guys should consider Phil Jackson?
O'Neill's words made the Chinese reporters at the post-match press conference very unhappy and angry, but they really couldn't help it.
Because, O'Neill really didn't seem wrong at this time.
Even!
"Coach Xiao Du listened to O'Neill's words, and he continued to laugh!"
"Didn't Coach Xiao Du see it? Garnett, he still hasn't attacked! ”
On the court, the Lakers attacked again.
At this time, the four assistant coaches of the Lakers on the sidelines were already trembling their lips, and Jeanie Buss was already holding her heart and squatting on the ground.
If the Lakers can't score this offense, then this game is really here!
At this time, how they wished that God-like voice from heaven would appear again!
At this time, Popovich next to them, like a victor, clasped his hands to his chest and smiled.
In a game like this, at a moment like this, it's useless to pass!
Garnett's pass in the first half was amazing, but now, it's useless!
The Spurs players on the court have concentrated all their mental energy.
With Manu's departure, the Spurs' defense has once again risen a notch.
Garnett's pass, now it's a blunt knife, and it's the kind of blunt knife that looks flashy, but in fact it may be plastic, and it's useless at all!
"In this game, maybe we should get off Manu a little earlier!"
The fighting spirit of the young players of the Spurs in this game is definitely the best in this series, and the admiral's words are so useful!
Fighting spirit is used at such a critical moment!
I knew that the young Spurs had such fighting spirit in this game, Manu was indeed not on it.
The fighting spirit of the Spurs' young players, Thiem's best form throughout the series, all came to this game.
What a blessing!
Now the Spurs on the court, giving Popovich the feeling of one word, that is, invincible!
"Maybe, I can even beat Coach D now!"
At this time, Popovich even had some regrets, if only it was Coach D who was coaching the Lakers at this time, he even felt that he could beat Coach D in this game with this Spurs who are now fully in shape!
Just when Popovich was thinking with some regret, the Staples fans suddenly let out an exclamation!
Popovich hurriedly looked over the court.
Garnett still didn't attack!
Even, Duncan doesn't personally go outside to defend Garnett, Garnett, he still doesn't attack!
"Oh my God, is Garnett really going to memorize the title of attacking softball at critical moments for the rest of his life?!
In front of you is Stephenson, attack, he can't stop you at all! ”
But!
Garnett still didn't attack!
Facing Finson's defence, Garnett played the ball to Leonard's opposite Pierce.
Then, without the ball, he walked in front of Pierce and helped Pierce block Leonard.
In the previous two offenses of the Lakers, Garnett used Duncan's opportunity to pull out to defend him, and used the Spurs' interior rotation because Duncan's was that more people would make up for the inside, resulting in negligence outside the three-point line, and Garnett finally created opportunities.
Moreover, opportunities all presented themselves, once in Pierce's and once in Kanan's.
Unfortunately, both shots were lost.
That's why the third offense, Duncan pulled back.
At this time, the Spurs are also one big and four small in the opposite position, and he came out, which is indeed a big problem.
Since Garnett doesn't attack, then he doesn't come out, and if he guards the basket and guards the lethality of Antetokounmpo and Ibanks, then the other four Lakers can defend and expand.
The Spurs' defense will be unusually solid.
I have to say that Duncan is indeed Duncan, and his judgment of the game is now superb, even Popovich on the sidelines is very admired and shocked, it is really not easy to make such a calm and quick decision in the game.
In the same way, Garnett's response this time also made Popovich's eyes widen.
For the surrounding fans, Garnett can obviously play Finson alone and not play, and go to play with a stronger Leonard, Garnett is TM's fault.
But in Popovich's opinion, that's not the case at all!
Garnett: It's not a problem, it's a conspiracy!
As a conspirator, Popovich instantly sensed the coming of the conspiracy.
After Garnett's game reached the second half, he found an opportunity to suppress Leonard, making Leonard very embarrassed and a little tired on the defensive end, and the offensive efficiency collapsed directly.
The defense was suppressed by the oversized Garnett.
Pierce, who is attacking and fighting chicken thieves, knows his skills.
For Leonard, this one was really hard.
For Popovich, at the first time, he felt that this was Garnett's repetition of the old trick, making Leonard's offense in this game unable to open.
The Spurs are now down Manu, and the offense actually depends on Leonard and Duncan, and these are the only two reliable ones.
Crushing one would indeed put Duncan's offense under great pressure.
But?
Is that really the case?
Duncan, who was already ready to attack with all his might in the fourth quarter, did not have such a high offensive demand for Leonard.
So?
Garnett, is it really path dependence? In the fourth quarter, although Coach D stopped commanding, he foolishly followed Coach D's plan?
"Wait! No, it's not!! Garnett is poised to scrap the Spurs' two offensive cores inside and outside!! ”
Because, looking at the court from the sidelines at this time, it is too clear!
After Garnett suppressed Leonard on the outside, Duncan and Leonard formed a line, and this line was all behind Garnett, which is the so-called side with the ball, the strong side!
And Pierce, Kanan, Ibanks, all on the weak side!
If it's a three-on-three, Finson, Danny Green and Waiters aren't afraid of the Lakers.
However, under Garnett's command, Antetokounmpo is also going from under the basket to the weak side!
Duncan is embarrassed now!
If you don't go out, it's four to three outside, and Pierce and Kanan can attack.
If you go out, you will completely let the basket out, and then, give Garnett the opportunity to play Leonard one-on-one under the strong side of the basket.
The average defensive player must be very entangled when he encounters such a headache.
But Duncan, is he an average defensive player?
Of course not!
"Kawai, I believe you, you will never give Garnett a chance to come to the basket alone!"
Duncan almost didn't hesitate to follow Antetokounmpo and followed!
Although Duncan didn't say what was in his heart, Duncan's actions were almost equivalent to telling Leonard how much he trusted Leonard's defense!
"Duncan is out, Garnett is going to fight Leonard, it's an absolute good opportunity, Garnett is moving!!"
As soon as Garnett moved, Leonard immediately stepped up.
Leonard worked hard.
So, such a top was not even pushed open by Garnett like in the third quarter!
Leonard breathed a sigh of relief that he had succeeded!
But!
Almost at the same time!
"Kehuai, !! behind you"
What?!
Leonard turned around!
Oh my God!!!
Antetokounmpo, who had just taken Duncan out, had already turned back at this time, and was even flying in the air!
And the ball in Garnett's hand has already been flying in the air!!
Garnett took advantage of the moment he confronted him and passed the ball behind him!!!
How did this get out?
How did Garnett get the ball out right under my nose?!
I'm Leonard, I'm not Nick Young!!
Looking up at Garnett's still calm smile on his face, Leonard instantly realized.
High!
Garnett's height makes his passing vision and the concealment of his passing almost full!!
Bang!
Antetokounmpo received Garnett's pass and scored directly!
After Antetokounmpo hit the dunk, all the fans at the scene were even stunned for a moment.
It was only after a moment that the Lakers fans began to celebrate wildly.
And Spurs fans, Popovich, are still all shocked at this time.
Because!
Garnett, with a pass, with his useless playmaking, directly, broke through the Spurs' defense!
In the previous three Duncan scores, it's hard to say that the Spurs have penetrated the Lakers' defense, it's just that Duncan's individual ability is great.
But this time!
The Lakers definitely broke through the Spurs' defense!
"No, this time, it's also a triumph of individual ability, Garnett used his useless and weak passing, playing the two defensive cores inside and outside the Spurs!!"
"No wonder the Lakers' score is about to collapse, Coach D is still so calm!"
"This game is not over yet!!"
Yes, this game is not over yet!
Jeanie Buss, who was squatting on the sidelines, looked at Garnett, who was almost having a heart attack on the court, and actually relied on passing the ball to lead the Lakers to withstand the strong single attack of the Spurs and Duncan, and the whole person was stunned!
At the critical moment, the pass is useless!
This is the consensus!
"Now, who dares to say that passing is useless?!"
"Kevin Garnett's pass, not LeBron James's pass, Kevin Garnett's pass, is really tough, really the strongest pass that can bring points, this is a real assist, I emphasize once again, Kevin Garnett's assist, is the real organization!"
"The organization is useless at the critical moment, it is not because the organization is useless, but because you people are useless!!"
O'Neill's roar made James, who was in front of the TV, face constantly changing at this time.
Being scolded by someone pointing at his nose like this, even people can't bear it.
But what can he do?
Now his reputation in the NBA is like this.
As long as he doesn't win the championship again, he won't be able to get up.
The NBA is written by the winners.
The three years have been so difficult, not because I am in a group and nomadic by myself, but because I have not succeeded!
"If the Lakers lose this game, Coach D will be the same as me, nothing!"
Once again, the game was scorching.
Once again, Popovich turned into an ant on a hot pan.
At this time, in Jenny Buss's mind, there was only one sentence, a repeating sentence.
A phrase that Coach D kept repeating in front of them.
"Trust your players!"
"As long as you put your players on the pitch, trust your players!"
"Be confident, your players, that's you!"
