Chapter 134 A Qualified Team Leader! Gdp Is Terrible!
The Spurs, who still use the winning lineup in 2007, are very old.
Those who are old enough to be in the main lineup are all over 30 years old.
But for a team with such a seriously aging lineup, they started last season with an impressive record of 17 wins and 3 losses.
If history had not gone astray, the Spurs would have ranked third in the Western Conference with a record of 54 wins and 28 losses this season!
You know, this is the Wild West.
This is the Wild West, which played until the last round of the regular season before deciding on the playoff roster, and achieved the third best record in the Western Conference!
The strength is obvious!
And for such a silent and strong team, the media and fans did not expect that after the first quarter, they were actually 8 points behind the Thunder!
Aren't they saying that the top three in Texas are the Devil's Triangle?
Isn’t it said to be the best whetstone for a young team?
Doesn’t it mean that the experienced Spurs will definitely teach the young Thunder a lesson?
Why is everything completely different from what I expected!
Not only did Chen Hao seem to be among the tens of thousands of soldiers, he easily killed people.
Even the young people of the Thunder team are providing constant fire support, and they still look like they are frozen at the beginning of the season!
"Oh, my god!"
"If I say that when I learned that the Thunder ranked first in the league, I was more confused than shocked,"
"Now, it seems that I have solved the confusion in my heart."
"The Thunder deserved the title! Chen Hao is even more incredible! From the beginning of the season to now, his rate of improvement is terrifying!"
"From mid-range shooting, to breakthroughs, and now he is able to combine pass and rush with ease. He is consciously driving the team's offense and is just like a mature team leader!"
"Yes, from a talented team cornerstone to a qualified team leader, the speed at which Chen Hao has grown is incredible to me!"
“I would rather believe that he already knows it. This is his innate talent, but he just didn’t bother to do it before.
"I don't want to believe that this is a rookie who has grown up by himself through hard work!"
With the TN commentator's emotion, this white-hot game soon came to the second quarter.
And at the beginning of the second quarter,
In the second half of the first quarter, the Spurs, who were led by the Thunder, regained the rhythm of the game.
The Spurs, who were 8 points behind, were not in a hurry at all.
Just like Duncan's expressionless face, it seemed that they were not the ones lagging behind.
But although his face was expressionless, the Spurs' attacks were dark and ruthless, and they were also targeting the Thunder's vital points!
Just like when you come up,
Tony the country's sports car․ Parker, it's like having your foot welded to the accelerator.
Facing Watson's defense,
Continuous shaking, thrusting, and suddenly followed by his signature turn, in the blink of an eye, Watson felt like a headless fly, being thrown aside.
These neat footsteps, this metronome-like rhythm, this silky little turn and throw, these small details that reach perfection...
It’s true that I am not the number one point guard, but I am the point guard who sends the number one point guard home!
Even the league's top point guard can be sent home, let alone Watson.
Even if the Thunder's weak back line is pulled out, it probably won't be enough for Tony Parker to fight alone.
As the first foreign FMVP in NBA history, Tony Parker can average 28.6 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 6.8 assists per game in the playoffs, and he can also score 43 points in the playoffs.
But since last season, the Spurs have adopted a new tactical focus.
Yes, Popovich has figured out how to use the stars.
Three years of the new, three years of the old, and three more formations.
When Duncan was indeed unable to be as dominant as he was when he was young and suffered from plantar fasciitis, Popovich decisively adjusted the Spurs' main attacker.
Tony Parker also did not disappoint.
But don't think that by shifting the tactical focus to Tony Parker, you can forget about the old guy Duncan.
Before the Spurs completely transformed into the ultimate 'team basketball', Popovich fucked Duncan no less than any other superstar.
Duncan has always been the foundation of this Spurs system.
Anyway, Joakim Noah has personally experienced the power of the number one forward in history.
Due to the lineup changes in the second quarter, during the Thunder's offensive round, Joakim Noah faced off against Duncan.
Originally, after the pick-and-roll, Joakim Noah wanted to pass the ball to Durant in the corner.
But I don’t know why,
When Joakim Noah saw Duncan, who was defending in front of him, looking "unremarkable", he felt a desire to challenge.
So, after receiving the ball, he changed his mind and gave Duncan a hard blow.
Unexpectedly, Duncan, who didn't look strong at all, was as hard as a steel plate.
Continuously digging hard, but failed to squeeze out offensive space under the basket.
Finally, after using Chi Nai's strength, he saw the gap for his shot. But the next moment he took the shot, Duncan interfered and he knew the ball was gone as soon as he took the shot.
This is Duncan's defense. Although he doesn't often send brutal blocks, it makes your shots extremely uncomfortable.
In terms of consciousness, Ken is full.
Even if he resists head-on, he is still a man who can resist O'Neal at his peak.
It is true that Duncan has never won dpoy, but who can say that Gobert, who has won many dpoy in later generations, is better defensively than Duncan?
The Thunder's offense failed, and after switching offense and defense,
After the Spurs got the offensive ball, they were still frighteningly stable.
After Tony Parker dribbled the ball through the frontcourt, he handed the ball to Duncan who was in a position on the wing, even though he could completely defeat Watson alone.
Although Duncan's dominance has declined and he has been plagued by injuries, he is still able to contribute 19.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks this season.
Moreover, his role on the court cannot be reflected by statistics.
Just like now, after receiving the ball in the sweet spot, Duncan was observing the situation on the court while pressing Joakim․ Noah is close to the penalty area.
Just as Chen Hao was mopping up and assisting in defense, he quietly approached.
Duncan's ball speed was faster than Chen Hao imagined.
Michael Finley, who was open outside the three-point line, caught the ball and shot, and then connected with a three-pointer for the Spurs.
It can be seen that the Spurs are already transforming into team basketball, and the style of team basketball has also taken shape.
This greatly increases the difficulty of the assisting defense and sweep task arranged by the Thunder for Chen Hao before the game!
The third brother paid his tuition when facing Duncan.
Second brother, how could you not hand it over?
0......Please give me flowers 0
Durant, who had watched Chen Hao and Manu Ginobili play against each other, felt that he was well prepared. After playing a good game, Durant walked onto the court with confidence.
What greeted him was the demon sword in full condition.
Even Chen Hao has to be extremely careful when dealing with the demonic Manu, let alone Durant.
I only saw this ball,
When Durant saw that he had passed Manu in one step, he felt extremely confident. He raised his hand to draw his bow. How could he miss such an open opportunity?
However,
The moment he bent his knees and raised his elbows, Ginobili behind him was already flying in the air.
A brutal press, just like the scene where he pressed the bearded man in his previous life, pulled the ball out of Durant's hand.
Durant was stunned,
Isn’t it easy to see Chen Hao beating Manu in the Olympics?
Why did I get cheated when I came here?!
Durant, who was taught a lesson on the offensive end, continues to pay on the defensive end.
This payment speed is faster than when he recharges his membership on a certain color website.
Demon Sword Manu just made an exaggerated shooting fake, and then quickly pretended to release the ball to the right to break through, and Durant became one of the top five goals in the NBA today.
......00
Manu, who was flying away from Durant, went straight to the basket. At the same time, he made a hidden back pass and the ball went to Parker, who cut through the air.
Parker caught the ball and jumped up for a layup, as smooth, elegant and quick as a diving action.
As the basketball cleared the board and entered the frame, the Thunder's eight-point lead in the first quarter was reduced to a negligible one point in the blink of an eye.
The two sides once again stood on the same starting line.
This is how powerful GDP is at the same time.
It's also Popovich's vicious vision.
Let Tony Parker find the Thunder's weak back line to play.
While being able to hit him, he is not in a hurry to kill him with a stick.
Through Duncan, he restricted Joakim Noah and supported the team's offense at the same time.
Manu? Popovich never cares about his performance...
Faced with such a situation, Chen Hao on the court was not only not as anxious as before, but also felt very relieved.
He also didn't expect that the 2.0 version of the Thunder trio and their prototype version of the ball-carrying core could actually be in a stalemate with the Spurs for almost half a game!
The fight was back and forth!
Although Durant and Joakim Noah suffered a lot in the second quarter, Chen Hao was very satisfied with the performance.
Already secured the opportunity for Chen Hao to close the competition!
That's right, if you want to completely hold him down against a team like the Spurs, that's basically a fantasy.
Regarding grinding,
The Spurs may know better than the software hardeners!
Therefore, we can only rely on our superb offensive efficiency and explosive scoring ability to crack open the turtle shell!
The Spurs are never afraid of conventional play, but are afraid of unreasonable attacks!
Just like when Popovich heard that Kobe Bryant of the Lakers would soon be assisted by Gasol, he angrily said: "This is a robbery-style transaction!
In 2011, when I heard the news that Chris Paul was going to join the Lakers, I was even more furious.
Only when the Heat's Big Three were formed, they smiled slightly and felt calm.
