NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

Chapter 283

Duncan stood in the middle of the court, looking at the young man in front of him, with a complicated expression on his face.

This may be the biggest challenge he has encountered in his career, no doubt about it.

Unlike when he faced O'Neal, he was still young at that time.

As the saying goes, a young man is better than a weak one. At that time, he could afford to fight, and he was one step ahead of O'Neal and won the championship.

But now facing Roy, who is 10 years younger than him,

A feeling of being beaten on the beach arises spontaneously.

After 9 years in the league, although the team's record has been ups and downs, in terms of personal ability, Duncan thinks that he has not met an opponent in the power forward position.

Even the "Postman" Karl Malone, "Rain Man" Kemp, who were at their peak and are now old,

Or the "Wolf King" Garnett, McDyess of the same period,

Or the "German Tank" Nowitzki, "King" Chris Webber, who came later than him,

These people did not get too much advantage from him, and even in the end, the winner was always the only one.

One person suppressed an era, this is the pride of Duncan,

However, no matter how proud a person is, when he meets a guy who is completely powerful and goes against common sense, the pressure can be imagined.

On the court,

Roy was also very curious at this time. He gave up several games and returned to the jump ball point. What kind of mental journey did Duncan have?

He has an absolute advantage in jumping and explosive power, and he doesn't understand Duncan's behavior with a low chance of winning.

But Roy still kept his eyes on it. After all, Duncan once used a small trick to win the ball.

The two stood in the middle of the court, arms intertwined, secretly exerting strength, waiting for the referee's whistle to serve the ball.

"Beep"

The referee's whistle sounded, and the basketball was thrown straight into the air.

Roy and Duncan competed with each other on the arm.

When jumping, Duncan suddenly withdrew his strength, causing Roy's body to shake.

Using this brief advantage, Duncan jumped up, stretched his long arms into the air, trying to touch the flying basketball.

The strategy was successful, but the small trick seemed so powerless in front of physical fitness.

Roy jumped back and arrived first. His powerful explosive power and speed exceeded Duncan's arm in an instant.

Then he took the lead in touching the basketball in the air and passed the ball to Carter who was already waiting in the backcourt.

Popovich sighed. Originally, Duncan took the initiative to ask for a jump ball, and he still had hope.

From the results, one strength defeats ten skills. The huge gap in jumping ability cannot be solved by a small strategy.

Fortunately, they were mentally prepared, and the Spurs players didn't have much hope.

Roy's athletic ability is obvious to all, and the amazing jumping ability of his head over the basket in the last game is still vivid.

When Carter got the basketball, the Spurs had already assigned the defensive targets and were arranging the defense in an orderly manner.

After several games, Bowen already knew Carter's habits very well.

Keep a certain distance when Carter dribbles,

Make sure the body is always in Carter's way, and when he shoots, be able to interfere in the first time,

On defense alone, Bowen's man-to-man defense is definitely at the textbook level,

Roy let McGinnis watch Bowen's video for a season, and now he still only has a superficial understanding,

Even so, he still made great progress this season,

This also gave him a stable rotation time in the second half of the season,

Even in the finals, he can sit firmly in the starting lineup.

You can question Bowen's character, but his defensive basics and attitude are absolutely top-notch.

Fortunately, Carter is only responsible for dribbling across half court now.

Roy is now the initiator of the attack, and the basketball is fixed in his hands.

He dribbles slowly, and the basketball passes between his legs. Duncan stands in front of him and watches all this coldly.

Roy takes a step directly and breaks through the inside of the Spurs.

As soon as he crosses the three-point line, he jumps up.

It can be seen that the Spurs are still very nervous. Roy's jump attracts everyone's attention.

McInnis's counter-run at the bottom line slips into the inside.

Roy's pass penetrates the Spurs' defense line powerfully.

The basketball is passed to McInnis's hands at the right time.

He reaches out for a layup and easily steals two points before Horry returns to defense!

2 to 0

The Nets have a good start!

This is also the tactic that the Nets have been practicing during the offseason.

While the Spurs are focusing on Roy, other players should score as many points as possible in the first two quarters,

reducing the burden and pressure on Roy and Carter in scoring.

Using the advantage of footwork, he has become more and more adept in recent games.

Horry looked at McGinnis's receding back in anger. This thief once again cleverly

He passed the ball to Ginobili and covered him through half court.

At the beginning of the first quarter, Jefferson played a mad dog defense, harassing Ginobili all the way,

preventing him from dribbling comfortably through half court,

The Nets' defensive plan in advance was to make Ginobili nervous and consume his physical strength,

Fortunately, Ginobili had experienced such a defense and was mentally prepared,

After half court, he quickly passed the ball to Duncan under the basket,

At the beginning of the offense, he gave it to the inside line. As the Spurs' first scorer and the most efficient offensive player,

He once again took on the task of the first attacker,

Still the familiar back-to-the-basket attack, step by step compressing Roy's defensive space,

But this routine was in the last In the final stage of the game, Roy almost cracked it.

Seeing him so confident, it was obvious that Duncan came prepared today.

Duncan patiently approached the basket, and when he was close to the basket, he turned his back,

avoided Lagabel's hand, held the ball high in the air, and faked it at Roy,

Then he turned right and rushed to the baseline, squeezed Roy and prepared to shoot at the basket,

Since he was already at a disadvantage in position, Roy could only jump up to interfere,

But Duncan had already learned it well, he knew that Roy liked to wait for him in the air,

Just now he just faked a shot, and didn't jump at all. While waiting for Roy to fall in Roy's surprised eyes, he once again hit the basket with the basketball!

2 to 2

Duncan is worthy of being the No. 1 power forward. He quickly learned from the experience of the previous game.

He was not eager to score in the first attack, but used various fake moves and solid basic skills to attack with the advantage of strength.

For such an experienced inside player, this kind of ball is almost impossible to defend.

Solid skills under the basket can change according to the situation.

The most important thing is that Duncan did not have the impatience in the last moment of the previous game. The steady and calm Duncan is the most terrifying Duncan.

There is no false reputation under the reputation. To achieve such a high achievement in history, basketball IQ and IQ are indispensable.

Adjustment ability and adaptability are the prerequisites for him to stand out from a large number of talented monsters.

Besides, Duncan's static physical talent is already at the monster level.

What he lacks now is only explosive power and jumping power.

But as the ceiling of the floor flow player, his skills are his strongest point!
