Pirates: I am Six Eyes Sukuna, the strongest one

Han Yi did see a large number of old Spurs fans crying because George Gervin was back on the Spurs' home court, but isn't this kind of ceremony a sign of weakness?

The Celtics also returned to the finals after 12 years, so why didn't they consider bringing the Lord of the Rings Bill Russell to kick off the game?

That's because the finals are indeed new to this Celtics team, but for the older generation of the Green Army, entering the finals is a fart honor, so why show off?

And this so-called ritual activity can really make people cry, provided that you can win the game. As long as you lose, all these gestures that are useless will eventually become a joke!

George Gervin leaves, and the referee comes on and throws the ball into the air!

Ben Wallace tried his best, and then lost without any suspense!

But when Tim Duncan received the pass from the young general Avery Johnson, Duncan turned around and found that the opponent was not Ben Wallace, who was tough enough but could do nothing but let him ravage him, but Han Yi, who was known as the three-man today!

Tim Duncan couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Popovich also frowned:

"Is Han Yi going to play three or five?"

At first, when Popovich saw that the Celtics chose to put Han Yi at the three position and put two pure blue-collar insiders with no offensive ability in the interior, he thought it was to further save Han Yi's physical strength.

Han Yi's physical strength is already extraordinary, but no matter how extraordinary he is, he is still a human being. He will feel tired after 48 minutes without a break. Han Yi played 47 minutes in the first game and won, and played 44 minutes in the second game and lost. This means that in this matchup, as long as the Celtics want to win, Han Yi basically can't play rhythm.

Therefore, choosing to let Han Yi avoid the inside battle and choose to roam outside can greatly reduce Han Yi's physical overdraft on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can more effectively curb the Spurs' very accurate outside shooting in the last game.

All of this makes sense. Popovich only took a look at the Celtics' lineup and guessed it.

But when Han Yi went to defend Duncan in the first round, Popovich was confused again.

Whether it was the first or second game, the Celtics would let Han Yi play against David Robinson and Ben Wallace against Duncan most of the time, and only at the last critical moment would they choose to let Han Yi go against Duncan.

The reason is very simple. Han Yi did not defend Duncan, just like the Spurs would not let Duncan defend Han Yi, which is the greatest protection for their absolute offensive and defensive core.

But today, the Celtics were obviously more determined and dared to let Han Yi directly face Duncan on the defensive end at the beginning!

In that case, how can you let Han Yi play the third position, how can you let Han Yi save some energy?

But this is obviously not what Popovich should consider. Popovich shouted to Duncan:

"Tim, beat him well in the interior. Since he dared to defend you so early, you have to make him pay the price!"

Popovich did not hint at this, but directly stated that although the Celtics' combat power has been significantly improved compared with last season, who can they play against? If they play against the Spurs, as long as Han Yi is not there, the others are just appetizers, and they can't even be at the main table.

Duncan didn't need Popovich to remind him of this. Facing Han Yi, Duncan was always full of fighting spirit, but his understanding was still shallow. He didn't consider fouling at all. Tim Duncan only considered one thing: how to score points under Han Yi's nose!

According to the data of this year's playoffs, Han Yi defended 121 interior attacks in total, and successfully defended 93 of them, with a success rate of 76%!

He is absolutely worthy of this year's DPOY honor.

After the first two games, Duncan has found that the gap between his strength and Han Yi is getting bigger and bigger. In the NCAA, the strength of both sides was evenly matched, but in the NBA, Duncan's strength is obviously being suppressed by Han Yi!

Obviously, if you want to beat Han Yi, if you rely on brute force, you will be blocked!

If it is a player like O'Neal who has all the points in strength, it is really difficult to face a melee monster like Han Yi, but for a guy like Duncan who is supplemented by strength and full of technical points, even if he suffers from strength, he still has a way to put the basketball into the basket!

After Duncan's footsteps in the interior continued to fake looking for space in vain, he suddenly pulled back and took a mid-range shot!

"Duang!"

The basketball hit the rim first, and when Ben Wallace jumped up to grab the rebound, the basketball spun and rolled into the basket.Basket!

This touch is really amazing.

0:2!

Tim Duncan didn't let everyone stand up and wait for the first ball to be scored before sitting down. The Spurs home fans waited too long. In the first attack, he put the ball into the basket beautifully under Han Yi's defense!

After scoring this goal, Duncan didn't look at Han Yi, but just waved his fist lightly and immediately returned to defense!

Duncan felt it: What about playing the third position, it's all nonsense. Since Han Yi directly matches me on the defensive end, he will take the initiative to find me on the offensive end. It seems that the outcome of today's game will be decided in our duel!

But Popovich was still unwilling: It's your Celtics' business that you Celtics use Han Yi so wastefully. We Spurs will not be stupid enough to use Duncan to fight with your Han Yi!

Unlike Duncan's technical style of play, Han Yi's inside attack cannot be said to have no skills at all, but I can say responsibly that he has some skills, but not much. The reason why Han Yi's success rate in attacking the basket is high is because he is strong enough, fast enough, and has strong impact. When attacking the basket, these three elements are still fully utilized.

Even if Duncan's defensive skills have reached the second-top level now, facing a monster like Han Yi, he will inevitably eat a lot of fouls!

Just as Popovich said that the Celtics can't do without Han Yi, how can the current Spurs do without Duncan?

"The plan remains unchanged. David will still defend Han Yi. Now is not the time for Duncan to play."

David Robinson looked at Han Yi, and then looked at Popovich who was gesticulating behind him, and his heart was cold:

"Oh no, I'm a cannon fodder again?"
