NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

Duncan started to play singles. Facing Duncan, who was heavier and stronger than him, Roy could only carry him from behind.

Looking at Roy who was retreating again and again, Popovich did not dare to underestimate this rookie this time.

You know, he has been slapped in the face several times. This time he needs to be reserved and calm!

It is not good to open champagne in the half. The burning feeling on his face is still aching.

After Duncan felt that the distance was about right, he turned his back and made a fake move. Roy raised his hands high and did not put them down, ready to deal with Duncan's attack at any time. He was not provoked by Duncan's fake move.

Although this fake move was very realistic, it felt from his arm that Duncan's strength was not for real shooting.

Duncan changed direction and tried to point out Roy's defense again, but he was still unmoved and did not jump.

Daidai was a little suspicious of the young man behind him. He didn't know if he could keep his temper or didn't know that he would attack at any time.

The two shakes were useless. As a result, the Stone Buddha became impatient, because there was not much time left for the attack, he used the step-back jump hook method to throw the ball out,

It is a bit similar to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's sky hook, the arc and height are obviously not that high,

But Duncan is very confident, this kind of hook with a very high shooting point and arc,

If you want to block the shot, except for himself before his peak and before the serious injury, Garnett should be the only one in the league who has the opportunity to do it,

Although I heard that this guy's jumping ability is also exaggerated, but Duncan said he didn't believe it,

He is just a yellow man, can he fly?

When the basketball was about to reach the highest point in the sky, a yellow hand appeared above Duncan's head.

It was indeed difficult, and Roy only touched about two fingers.

It was impossible to grab the basketball directly in his hand, giving this stupid guy a little shock from the East.

He knew that Roy was in his position and couldn't jump with all his strength.

But even in this state, this yellow man still jumped in place with a jaw-dropping speed and touched his must-win shot in mid-air.

The basketball was blocked in the air and flew higher by inertia.

Roy fell back to the ground, and his amazing continuous bounces directly surpassed Duncan's confused face by half his body, and grabbed the basketball from the air first.

"OMG, is the sky really the limit for this guy?" Popovich couldn't imagine his eyes.

"Fast break!"

Carter has already started to speed up. Roy, who was in the air, did not wait for his body to fall. He used his waist and abdomen strength to throw the ball to Carter, who had already sprinted across half the court, from a long distance in the air.

After Carter got the ball, he was thinking about how to do a cool dunk.

He caught a glimpse of Bruce Bowen approaching quickly from behind.

The distant memory appeared in Carter's mind again.

You know, Carter was kicked by Bowen at the peak of his career and was out for the season.

Carter had goose bumps all over his body. The opponent was too bad. He had to be careful.

So he gave up the performance and solved the battle with a quick two-handed dunk.

When he landed on the ground, he looked at the basket with lingering fear to see if there was an unidentified black foot under the basket.

The Nets' fast break was like mercury pouring down the ground, which shocked all the audience.

I always thought that only the Phoenix Suns had such an offensive method.

In the eyes of many old fans who are used to positional offense, the offensive method of less than 8 seconds is a heretical behavior!

I didn't expect the New Jersey Nets with thick eyebrows and big eyes to play this kind of evil magic.

You are a team with two inside players over 2.1 meters tall, who can play fast breaks and attack positions. Do you want to let others play with you?

This time, Popovich finally saw the advantages and disadvantages of Roy. His superhuman mobility and coverage ability reminded people of KG.

And Roy also has the ability to attack the basket that KG does not have.

He secretly believed that in addition to the Pistons and the Heat, the Nets were also on Popovich's blacklist.

As the game continued,

Although Roy could occasionally pose a threat to Duncan's offense,

But Duncan was too stable. Duncan, who studied psychology, even had a master's degree in psychology.

Ordinary setbacks and provocations were nothing in his eyes.

He could still compete with Roy on the offensive end with various offensive means, using his strength and solid footwork, as well as full-level experience.

Roy couldn't do much to him.

On the other hand, Roy's offense was weak in strength, so he could only use flexible footwork and long-range shooting to threaten the basket.

Playing against Duncan with his back to the basket was still too difficult for Roy at the moment.

The scores of the two teams rose alternately.

The Spurs' double backcourt firepower was stronger than Carter and Kidd.

After all, Kidd's lack of offense was really a drag on Carter.

"In terms of offense and shooting, I have always beenA little taller than Ginobili, but now there is Tony Parker, he might be a little taller than me! ”

Kidd: “I am here!”

Carter: “It is because of you that he is a burden that he is a little taller than me!”

Carter could not understand Kidd’s little look,

he just patted Kidd on the shoulder,

“It’s okay, brother, I won’t despise you. "

The stalemate between the two teams lasted until the end of the third quarter.

During the break in the third quarter, Roy was panting in the Nets rest area.

During both offense and defense, he had to face Duncan. Who knows how much physical strength he has? His consumption is comparable to moving bricks at a construction site for a day.

The superstars of this era are too hard-working. Everyone needs to be both offensive and defensive.

The examples given by the old rogue Mike Dunk and the "Dream" Olajuwon of the same class are too brilliant.

This generation of players basically grew up watching their ball.

It had a huge impact on their worldview and basketball view. They would subconsciously think that superstars should be both offensive and defensive.

Until many years later, a 2003 rookie, in the late stage of his career In the 4.0 era, using eye contact to defend set a bad precedent for everyone.

In the subsequent league games, as long as you throw a goal, you will be a superstar.

Crawford and Louis Williams fainted in the toilet crying. If they had entered the league a dozen years later, they would also be superstar embryos.

Of course, this is also closely related to the league's change of rules, but the leader must also be responsible.

Because he is the benchmark in the industry and calls himself the GOAT of basketball!

The rapid consumption of physical strength on both offense and defense reminded Roy of the NCAA finals, also on this court, and on such a night.

The only difference is that his teammates are reliable and can share the pressure with him.

He doesn't need the whole team to rely on himself for offense and defense Defence.

Also in the direction of the Spurs, Popovich looked at Roy in the other rest area in the distance.

Tonight made him change his impression of Roy.

When a reporter interviewed him about his views on Roy and Duncan before, he sneered.

He never dreamed that one day a yellow man would not lose to Duncan in a direct dialogue, and could really be compared.

You know, even a strong player like Kevin Garnett usually has no advantage over Duncan.

Because KG's offense is predictable, his attack point is too far outside, mainly jump shots.

Although his jump shot is very accurate, it does not have much lethality to the Spurs.

Jump shots rely on the feel, unlike inside offense, even if it is not Going in can also create offense or grab rebounds.

Jumping saves energy, but if you miss, it's 0. The Spurs can easily get rebounds and counterattack.

Roy is a typical inside and outside line player, and you need to be 12 points alert when defending him.

Because Roy's shooting range covers the entire half court, Duncan also ate two three-pointers from Roy and often stayed by Roy's side.

And his off-ball skills are also not possessed by many inside players.

Originally, Duncan's movement pace was not slow, but after meeting Roy, Duncan seemed like an old man with crutches.

Roy's footsteps and shooting range made Duncan uncomfortable, and coupled with Roy's support ability, Duncan easily lost sight of one thing and was exhausted.
