NBA: I! The Most Versatile Player Ever!

"Hello everyone in front of the TV audience!""

"I'm Director Zhang! I'm Yu Jia!"

"We will explain the first game of the NBA Finals today!""

"Now that the warm-up is over and the game is about to start...

The game is about to start as the voice of Director Zhang sounded.

The Celtics' starting lineup: center Okur, power forward Gu Yu, small forward Pierce, shooting guard Shane Battier, point guard Tony.

The Spurs' starting lineup: center Nazr Mohammad, power forward Duncan, small forward Bowen, shooting guard Ginobili, point guard Parker.

beep!

With the referee's whistle sounded, Okur jumped the ball successfully, and the game officially started.

Although Gu Yu is at the 4th position, everyone knows that Gu Yu is actually a point guard.

Gu Yu held the ball at the top of the arc, and Okur came to the left bottom corner.

Duncan was pulled out of the box by Gu Yu, and it wasn't the first time the Spurs had played against the Celtics.

Popovich is very clear, if it is to let Bowen guard Gu Yu.

Bao Wen, who can be hit directly by Gu Yu, has no temper.

After Okur pulled Nazr Mohammad out of the penalty area, Pierce cut in decisively without the ball.

"Beautiful pass! Gu Yu, guarded by Tim Duncan, used a great pass to get the ball to Paul Pierce.

"Such a great pass, reminds me of magician Erwin John!

As the NBA finals, the on-site commentary guests are also very luxurious.

In addition to Barkley and Smith, Mr. Pi Erye was also invited as a special guest.

With Barkley's voice sounded.

Pierce received the ball low and directly chose to play Bowen with his back.

Bowen is 2.01 meters tall and weighs only 84KG.

Pierce is also 2.01 meters tall, but weighs 107KG.

The weight gap of 23KG is not easy to make up.

bump!

Pierce hit Bowen back.

Duncan realized that something was wrong and had already returned to the defense at this time.

Pierce noticed Duncan, who was returning to the defense, and Gu Yu had run from the top of the arc to the 45-point 3-point line on the flank.

Pierce, without any hesitation, passed the ball directly to Gu Yu.

It was too late for Duncan to cover Gu Yu at this point.

Outside the three-point line, Gu Yu pulled out his hand directly.

Swish!

The basketball hollowed into the net, and the entire North Shore Garden was filled with cheers in an instant!

It's the Spurs' turn to attack.

When Parker crossed halftime, Tony stepped forward and started to bite Parker, showing a pressing defense to Parker.

By the finals, the Celtics no longer have reservations.

In the first round, the bayonet saw red!

However, Parker is Parker after all. Facing Tony, whose defense has not yet grown to its peak, he still made no mistakes.

However, in the face of Tony's bite, Parker still felt very uncomfortable.

With Duncan's pick-and-roll, Parker got rid of Tony's defense, and Parker would go straight to the Celtics' penalty area as soon as he accelerated.

But Gu Yu appeared in front of Parker just in time.

Parker also had a headache when he saw Gu Yu.

Few guards in the league see Gu Yu without a headache.

The speed is comparable to that of a defender, and the height and wingspan are stronger than that of a defender. Such a player is a nightmare that all defenders do not want to face!

But Parker is, after all, the point guard who will often send the first point guard home in the future.

Although it will be restricted by Gu Yu, it is too small to say that the whole game data is 0 when locked by Gu Yu.

Facing Gu Yu's defense, Parker passed the ball to Duncan in the high post.

Duncan made a direct shot from a high position after receiving the ball.

Tony's height could not interfere with Duncan at this time.

Swish!

Basketball hollow into the net.

Duncan is shooting 44.4 percent from two-point range this season.

It can be said to be very accurate.

"Excellent teamwork, whether it's the Celtics or the Spurs, showed great teamwork right from the start. 35

"Under the high-intensity confrontation in the playoffs, the two sides can show such excellent cooperation, which is enough to show the strength of the two teams.

Director Zhang also began to worry at this time.

Although the Celtics' lineup has been running in for most of the season.

But the Spurs are more experienced!

The game on the field continued, and Pierce took the lead in starting the trash talk offensive.

"Bruce, have you figured out how to lose today~~?"

"Paul, are you talking in your sleep? Do you think you've beaten me?"

"Don't you think you're a jerk like you can win? Kurt, can't wait to beat you up!

Gan!

Bowen glanced at Kurt Thomas, who was eager to try on the sidelines, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

He was still fresh in his memory of the last time he was chased by Kurt Thomas.

"Paul, don't be arrogant with the Celtics, you will be completely defeated by us in no time!

"Bruce, don't think the Celtics are supersonics, your little actions don't work for us."

Pierce's floor flow is the least afraid of Bowen's feet.

But Bowen is Bowen after all, knowing that he is not Pierce's opponent in the low post.

Directly start sticking to guard Pierce, preventing Pierce from receiving the ball in the low post.

Shane and Tony also encountered Manu Ginobili and Parker.

Seeing this, Gu Yu directly signaled his teammates to pull away, and he wanted to single against Duncan.

Pierce withdrew from the penalty area, and now the fans are watching this showdown with all their attention.

Gu Yu faced Duncan and started dribbling with his crotch.

In the next instant, Gu Yu made a big change of direction, and then broke through from Duncan's right.

Duncan's reaction was also quick, and he moved straight to the right to block Gu Yu's breakthrough.

Gu Yu made a sudden stop, bent his knees, took off, and pressed his wrists.

Shoot directly in mid-air.

Duncan took a step back, though he jumped in time to enrich Gu Yu's shot.

But if it's slow, it's slow, although the difference is less than a second.

But that was enough for Gu Yu to finish his shot!

Swish!

The basketball crossed an arc and hollowed into the net.

"My God! Gu Yu's shot is so fast! Tim's reaction was so timely, but Gu Yu still finished the shot! 35

Barkley, who was explaining the scene, was also surprised in his voice at this time.

As one of the NBA's former MVP-level superstars, no one knows better than him the difficulty of Gu Yu's shot just now.

Pi Erye, who was on the side, also commented: "Gu Yu's goal is a giant star in the mouth of the fans. From the perspective of Tim's defense, this goal is very perfect, but Gu Yu can score the ball! 99

Seeing this scene, Popovich on the sidelines frowned involuntarily.

The thing he was most worried about had happened!

The Spurs can't limit Gu Yu!

Gu Yu is one of the most explosive players in the league.

And the Spurs are most afraid of this kind of player.

Once Gu Yu goes crazy, it is really not difficult to score 40 or 50 points in a game.

But the Spurs do not have this kind of player, who can match the explosiveness of Gu Yu.

The game on the field continues.

"The Spurs started to counterattack. After Ginobili broke through, a European stepped past Tony, who came from the help defense, and was about to lay up. Okur directly pulled Ginobili down."

"I have to say, this is really the finals. The Celtics' defense is really rough enough. They would rather send their opponents to the free throw line than let them score!"

"Manu Ginobili made two free throws, the Celtics started to fight back, and Pierce used Okur's pick-and-roll to directly break through with the ball. 35

"Duncan's help defense is really good, Pierce was pinched, and the big bad catch singles Bruce Bowen successfully!

As the voice of Director Zhang continued to sound, the game gradually entered the white-hot.

Both sides are the strongest defensive teams in the league. While the two sides are competing for defense, the movements in their hands gradually become larger.

Elbow strikes, hugs, and collisions never stopped during the game.

The Spurs' advantage is also reflected in the game.

The Spurs' GDP is all three players who can handle the ball, while the Celtics are only Gu Yu and Pierce.

Tony's weakness was also successfully seized by the Spurs.

Although Tony has not experienced major injuries in the original history, his breakthrough with the ball is still good.

But shooting has been inconsistent.

Parker's defense is definitely not that good, but you certainly don't think he's a colander.

Parker directly emptied Tony on the defensive end, and then flanked Pierce and Gu Yu with his teammates.

In the face of double-teaming, Gu Yu was better, and Pierce was really limited.

And Duncan also encountered similar problems.

In the impression of fans, Duncan seems to be an inexplicable insider.

Sharks are afraid to go around the defense.

The big hard score is not explosive enough.

After Dayao gained weight, his physical fitness was a big problem.

Only Duncan, it seems that there is no big problem.

Actually this is an impression flow.

In the original history, the 2008 Hornets had limited Duncan.

Against Paul's Hornets, Duncan was double-teamed by David West and Chandler throughout the series

Duncan averaged 15.3 points and 13 rebounds, shooting only 42.1%.

Although Duncan in 2008 is 32 years old, you must know that David West has not been a defensive player throughout his career!

Attacking the strong and defending the weak has always been his label.

Gu Yu's defense is not weaker than Chandler's, even stronger!

Okur's defense is stronger than David West's.

The two joined forces, allowing Duncan to fall into a state of silence on the offensive end.

Popovich also replaced Horry decisively.

Nazr․ As a blue-collar center, Muhammad doesn't shoot much.

This has led to the Celtics being able to double-team Duncan indefinitely.

But Horry is different. Horry shot 44.7 percent from the field in the playoffs.

With this hit rate, emptying him is really enough to kill the game!

When Popovich was suspended, Rivers also decisively began to make substitutions.

Mourning, Diaw and Kurt Thomas were replaced by Rivers.

Pierce, Okur and Shane were replaced.

Mourning had previously been the Celtics' fourth option inside.

Diaw, Kurt Thomas and Okur are all inside shooters.

Mourning did not shoot, the biggest role is to protect the basket.

The Celtics already have a shooting-defying Tony on offense.

Another Mourning, who was a bad shooter.

Offensive or not?

Therefore, Rivers in the playoffs, to Mourning's playing time is not much.

Mourning averaged only 8.2 minutes per game in the previous series.

But the Spurs are different. There are too many players who are good at breaking through and rushing to the basket.

Ginobili and Parker are both good at it, and Duncan's low post-up ability is also very strong.

And Mourning's rim protection is the Celtics' best except for Gu Yu.

After replacing Horry, Duncan encountered fewer double-teams.

But Ginobili became the Celtics' focus.

Ginobili is known as 20-minute Jordan, and his fitness has always been a big problem.

The Celtics will use the pick-and-roll to start calling out Ginobili.

Gu Yu, Dior, Tony and others took turns naming Ginobili, which made Ginobili consume a lot of physical energy.

At the end of the second quarter, seeing Ginobili's physical exhaustion, Popovich replaced Ginobili.

Brent Barry was replaced by Popovich as a backup No. 2.

Brent Barry is also a typical 3D player.

Three-point accuracy, although the single defense is limited by physical talent, it is not the top level, but the defense awareness is good.

There is no problem with the Spurs' substitution choice, but at this time only Parker and Duncan are left on the court.

Kurt Thomas directly emptied Horry and surrounded Duncan with Mourning in the low post.

Parker averaged only 5.6 assists per game in his career, and has never had a season in double figures in assists.

As a point guard, although strong, but certainly can not be compared with Nash, Paul these NBA historical level point guard.

Although Parker wanted to pass the ball, he was caught in the siege of Gu Yu and Tony (Mano Hao).

In the face of the defense of the two, let alone Parker, even Nash and Paul, the NBA's historic point guards, came, and it was hard to say whether they could pass the ball out at this time.

The three 3D players on the court seemed to be able to open up the attacking space.

But if you can't catch the ball, then the three 3D players are the show!

""々Tony․ Parker made a mistake in passing and was stolen by Gu Yu, Gu Yu successfully counterattacked with the ball fast break!

"Beautiful battle axe dunk! The point difference has come to 6 points!

"I have to say that this game greatly exceeded the expectations of many fans."

"Faced with the two-time champion San Antonio Spurs, the Celtics thwarted Tony Parker in the first half while limiting Duncan!

Barkley, who was commenting on the scene, was also a little surprised.

Before the game, he was not optimistic about the Celtics!

Smith also said at this time: "Charles, do you still think that your previous conclusion is correct?"

"The Celtics have a lot of defensive power, both inside and out, and they can limit the Spurs' GDP.

"And the Celtics are very good at jamming the pass, the Spurs players don't get the ball at all, I don't think the Spurs have a chance!"

"Kenny, the game isn't over, it's only 6 points ahead, it doesn't mean anything. 99

Barkley is still a dead duck-billed farmer.

Popovich, who was on the sidelines, was also frowning at this time.

The situation at this time is very unfavorable for the Spurs.

After the Spurs' players fell into double-teaming, the team's offense continued to stagnate, and it was not easy to pass the ball.

The Spurs wanted to double-team Gu Yu, but Gu Yu was always passing the ball to assist his teammates.

Although relying on excellent defense, the Spurs clung to the score, but the balance of victory has begun to tilt!

The Celtics led the Spurs by six points at halftime, 45:39.
