Chapter 548 Guard against Duncan tonight
The Lakers Gasol attacked again, but this time it became Duncan's defense. Gasol's shooting accuracy was not good, and the basketball hit the iron.

Duncan also noticed that the offensive end doesn't need to pay too much attention to No. 29. Anyway, he is a standard blue-collar player who lacks the ability to attack independently.Now that Nash is not on the Lakers, there is no creativity in the No. 1 position, and the No. 29 can't play much offensively.

"As expected of Tim Duncan, the man who may be the number one power forward in NBA history, he stabilized the situation of the Spurs and put the Lakers at a disadvantage." Bill McDonald said: "Oh~ Now that Duncan continues to ask for the ball in the low post, is he going to take the hot one again?"

"Duncan can see that the core of the Lakers' defense tonight is Dongfang Tang, so he chose the simplest and most effective one-on-one low-post singles in order to eliminate the intimidation of the first half of the team." Tez said: "What a smart guy! This kind of person is the absolute cornerstone of the team in any era, and it is rare to see in decades!"

"Tang didn't ask anyone to come over to double-team. He stuck close to him, as if he had accepted Duncan's one-on-one challenge!" Bill McDonald said with some concern: "I hope that the same mistakes will not be repeated. The stability of No. 21 belongs to the league. It’s notoriously tyrannical inside.”

Duncan is still the same as before, without any fancy or redundant moves, simple turns, simple confrontations, and simple shots. Obviously you feel that his speed is not too fast, and his fake moves are not too many, but every step is just right. Not one point more, not one cent less, coupled with that calm face that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, this makes it easy for the defender to lose momentum.

As if to say, hey man, we got in there without much trouble, didn't we?
It is indeed difficult for Tang Qian to see Duncan's sophisticated moves and familiar skills. The man known as "great basic skills inside" is definitely not in vain.However, he also has his own way.

That is to reduce the confrontation, and then... the rocket block!
That's right, when his defensive crystal tiles and blocking crystal tiles reached eight, Wilt Chamberlain's shot-blocking stunt could finally be unleashed.No need to rely on ability cards anymore, but rely entirely on his own personal ability.

It was the first time he used it independently in the last game, and he still felt that he had not mastered a lot of things, but after a period of familiarization and repeated training, Tang Qian finally dared to pat his small chest and said that he could barely use the strongest player in basketball history. Cap blocking skills.Especially Duncan is now defenseless, and he can hit it with one hit.

"Ban didn't defend the ball very well. The level of confrontation and pressure is too small. Duncan will definitely not let go of this good opportunity. Tim Duncan made a shot and the basketball flew to the Lakers' basket! G, God! He jumped on the spot! His reaction is so fast! The bullet speed is so fast! The whole person is like a rocket, straight up!" Duncan was also a little surprised when Bill McDonald shouted, because this kind of block Method, he has been in the league for so many years, only the peak Howard has ever come close, but it is still a lot of meaning.

This, isn't this a high-altitude cap? ? ?
Duncan suddenly saw something, because high-altitude blocking is a skill that every athletic insider can learn, it just depends on whether you can use it well.But the ball No. 29 for the Lakers is obviously different!
The speed of ascent, the timing of judging, and the method of take-off are all impossible for high-altitude blocking!

he……

slap~
Tang Qian really blocked the ball, and the height was astonishing!

The Lakers got the ball, immediately organized a fast break, and rushed to the Spurs' half.

"It's amazing! How high was that jump just now? It's probably comparable to Dwight in his peak era, right?" Bill McDonald finished speaking, and his partner, Stu Lantz, said: "It's not just the jump. In terms of strength, his height and wingspan are much higher than Dwight's. Compared with this base, with the same jumping ability, he is much higher than Dwight. And his bullet speed is absolutely Even better than the peak Dwight, this way of blocking shots with a step back is simply... like him!"

"Who? Wilt?" Bill McDonald said.

"That's right." Stu Lantz nodded and said: "You must know that for a center forward, jumping ability is definitely not as important as bullet speed, which is why I always say that Dwight is squandering his talent. Because logically speaking, he His bullet speed is already top-notch in history, coupled with his terrifying jumping ability, he didn't even average 3+ blocks per game at his peak, which is really a bit of a failure. It relies too much on pure physical talent! If he can put in a little effort If you think about your shot-blocking skills, you can at least slow down the rate of shot-blocking degradation, otherwise, relying purely on physical talent to block shots, I bet that at the age of 30, his shot-blocking ability will plummet, and he will no longer be as brave as before!"

In fact, Stu Lantz still "overestimated" Howard, because he won't be 30 years old at all. After 28 years old, his block deterrence will decline significantly year by year.This is the consequence of relying purely on physical talent to block shots.

Howard's body naturally has nothing to say, but his sense of smell and blocking skills are second-rate. This will become more and more obvious starting from the deterioration of his body.

"And the hot block point is unexpectedly high. This is the biggest advantage of the center's basket protection." Stu Lantz said: "The bullet speed is extraordinary, at least it can guarantee that the inside players can average 1+ blocks per game. , Blocking technology can also guarantee an average of 1+ blocks per game, block smell plus 1+, block experience 1+, block point is excellent, you can add another 1+. Generally speaking, you can master 1~2 of these things proficiently, Even if you are a shot blocker, mastering 3 is at least the level of the season block leader..."

"How about mastering 4 or even 5?" Bill McDonald asked with interest.

"Master 4, you can compete for the honor of the historical shot block leader since statistics are available. As for mastering 5..." Stu Lantz said: "That is not a person who can be born in this era, Olaju Not Won, not Kareem, only two people in NBA history.”

"You mean, Russell and Chamberlain?" Bill McDonald asked.

"Yes." Stu Lantz said: "But if you want to say that the strongest shot blocker in history is none other than Wilt, he is the only one who fully understands the factors affecting these five shot blocks. La Searle just mastered it, and he physically limited him to go further and reach the state of Chamberlain's rim protection."

"It's too far, but the block point just now has exceeded 375+CM, right? Good guy, let's take off from the spot. With this kind of bullet speed and physical explosive power, I don't think the peak monster is his opponent." Si After Tu Lantz finished speaking, Bill McDonald smiled and said, "You really like him, but Duncan is too strong. I guess he will have a hard time defending in the future. After all, it is impossible to do this all the time. level, right?"

"Oh, that's right. There are a lot of flashes of inspiration in NBA history, but it's not easy to achieve a stable value." Stu Lantz also nodded, agreeing with the old man's point of view.

Gasol shot again from the low post. Duncan has rich defensive experience and judged the path. Although there is no basketball that can directly block the Spaniard, the degree of interference is enough.Gasol made two consecutive inside shots, both of which were in vain.

Just when Duncan was about to run to the frontcourt, there was a "clang" and it exploded on the San Antonio basket.

On the 21st, he turned his head and found that at some point, a yellow figure was hanging from his basket.

He is the No. 29 of the Lakers, Tang Qian.

39-42, the Lakers recovered 2 points.

After Tang Qian landed, he saw Duncan's eyes, but he was not at all frightened. Instead of looking at each other for a few seconds, he ran to the inside of the Lakers without saying a word.

This little guy is interesting.

Some flames slowly rose in Duncan's heart.

"Hot, sorry, I missed it." After Gasol returned to the inside, he apologized like Tang Qian, because it was agreed that he was in charge of the inside offense and the latter was in charge of the inside defense, but after Duncan came on the court, he was obviously contained.This made him feel a little...

"It's okay, Paul, just keep playing. Duncan is old, isn't he?" Tang Qian didn't seem to care at all, but instead encouraged Gasol, which warmed the Spaniard's heart, and said: "I know, Hot, I will try my best!"

This is the effect Tang Qian wants. He knows what the Spaniard needs most on the field, so "giving it up" is not stingy at all.

Duncan asked for the ball from the low post for the third time in this quarter, and the Spurs opened up the court to clear the inside line, allowing No. 21 to concentrate on attacking without any scruples.

Tang Qian followed up the same way as before.

But there was no intense pressure and physical confrontation.

This is really a weird approach in modern basketball, because everyone knows that this kind of defense has almost negligible impact on the attacker's offense.The attacker can have sufficient physical strength and space to do inside moves.

Seeing Tang Qian doing this, Mike D'Antoni wanted to yell several times, but when he thought of the blocked shot just now and some crazy games before, he temporarily suppressed his emotions.

Want to wait and see what happens.

Duncan was also a little surprised, but soon he returned to normal and launched a low-post attack.

Because he didn't believe that the blocked shot just now was the opponent's "regular state". At least in his decades of playing basketball, he had never seen such a person.Moreover, is he still an Eastern center?
So Duncan attacked.

Because there is not much physical confrontation, Duncan's movements are extremely easy and smooth. This feeling makes Duncan more confident about this ball.A back cut, and then a stride with his left foot, he stepped into the Lakers paint.

Originally, he was going to observe Tang Qian's defensive moves, and then make corresponding changes, but he didn't know that when he stepped in, the opponent didn't move at all, and he still didn't mean to stick close.This, on the contrary, made Duncan feel a little embarrassed, unable to get up and down.

You must know that you cannot stay in the paint area for more than three seconds. Tang Qian is a defender. When there is a defensive object, he will never call him a "three-second violation".Duncan had no choice. After all, the basket was already in sight, and it would be too wasteful not to shoot.Moreover, the opponent gave himself a half-step. In this situation with almost no physical confrontation, Duncan still had full confidence in his low-post attack.

So with a half throw and half hook, the basketball left Duncan's fingers lightly.

"Did Tang stick to it? In this position, he doesn't give the opponent physical pressure or physical confrontation. What is he thinking... what? He jumped on the spot again??? This is to...block the shot???! Blocked shot!!! Blocked shot!!! China Tang made his fourth personal shot block in this game!!! oh~it's.amazing!!! He is really incredible!!!”

Covered again? ? ?

Even Duncan was a little stunned. How long has this happened?
Besides, it's a one-on-one block from the front!
Taking advantage of Duncan's failure to return to defense in time, the Lakers finally played a fast break, which was ended by Darius Morris dunking. 41-42, the Lakers are only 1 point behind the Spurs.

This made Popovich fluctuate slightly off the court.

But soon, someone calmed his heart down again.

On the 21st, Duncan looked back at his bench, his eyes seemed to say, trust me, don't worry.

Hehe, Tim actually showed this look. It seems that the Lakers are doing a good job on the 29th.

Popovich said in his heart.

After being blocked two times in a row, Duncan will of course come back, and now that he is on the point of overtaking, he has sufficient reasons to "clean up" No. 29 of the Lakers.

Tang Qian didn't care, waiting for Duncan to continue his low attack.

But this time, Duncan actually chose to turn around after turning his back, and then shot!
Tang Qian was a little caught off guard. After all, he didn't use the ability card. He couldn't guarantee a [-]% blocking rate for every shot.

slap~swipe~
Hit the board and enter the net.

41-44, the Spurs broke the scoring drought.

After Duncan scored the goal, he also looked at Tang Qian, which meant very clearly that your performance time is over.

Now, it's my turn, it's our Spurs' turn.

Tang Qian smiled suddenly, and said, "Tim, you are very strong, but you can't beat me just like this."

Looking at the opponent's energetic and aggressive smile, Duncan said blankly: "Let's talk about it after you win, Oriental rookie."

"Okay, among other things, I will do my best on the defensive end." Tang Qian responded with a smile, not fluctuating.

Howard, who watched this scene off the field, was entangled, depressed, envious and resentful:
Cut~ What the hell~ Do you really think you are an opponent of Duncan's weight?

Tim Duncan, beat him up for me!Let him know how powerful the league's top insiders are!
