Duncan used his excellent play in the first quarter to help the Spurs withstand the Clippers' attack.

   Beginning the second quarter, he and Li Liang rested off the court.

   Duncan wiped the sweat on his face with a towel, and the TV station's lens swept to his face, still the blank expressionless face.

   After all, you can't laugh, if you laugh, you will be blown technical foul.

   Duncan's mind is undoubtedly firm, and he still has confidence in winning.

   As long as he is not troubled by injury and age, Duncan has the ability to help the Spurs win any playoff game in an excellent state.

   This is the ability possessed by a superstar.

   Although among many superstars in history, Duncan is a player who came relatively early and fell earlier.

   entered the league in the first year is the second team, the second year on the championship plus finals mvp.

   then stood firm for a full ten years, and then gradually declined at the age of 32, changing his style of play.

   In the history, like Olajuwon was only 32 years old before starting to get his first championship.

   At the age of 32, Jabal had just met the magician Johnson and was about to start the glorious 80s.

Not to mention Jordan, at the age of 32, he was about to start his second three-reign dynasty.

   After Duncan was eliminated by the Lakers from the Western Conference in 2008, he basically withdrew from the competition of MVP stars.

  He started to lose weight and changed his style of play. There was no way to kill the Quartet as before, but the connection between Duncan and the Spurs was actually deeper.

  Duncan before 2008, any other team will be a superstar.

   After 2008, Duncan is the Spurs, and Spurs is Duncan, and no one can do without anyone.

   This makes Duncan somewhat underestimated. In fact, he is still better than many All-Star forwards.

  Li Liang certainly does not underestimate Duncan. In his opinion, if there are any variables in this game, it will definitely happen to Duncan.

   He is still a man who can change the course of the game.

  ……

   In the second quarter, the Spurs and Clippers continued their fierce contest.

   Clippers always maintain 4 to 5 points, two-ball lead.

   The Spurs are catching up closely, and there are not too many tactics available on both sides. The only thing they look at is the player's status, effort and tacit understanding.

  Victoria didn't dare to cut the little Jordan again after losing in the first quarter.

  Danny Green's three-pointer, once helped the Spurs chase the difference to only one point.

   But immediately, Barnes cut the layup from the basket and succeeded, then Griffin made a foul and made a free throw line.

   Both parties entered the first suspension of the second quarter.

   Both Li Liang and Duncan were put on the court. Little Jordan ended up on the Clippers. Needless to say, Li Liang was going to the fifth position to defend Duncan.

   Griffin made two free throws, the Clippers, and the point difference was pulled back to 5 points.

   But Duncan immediately received Parker's pass in the low post and turned the bottom line to a light layup.

  Li Liang played against Duncan. He didn't focus on the ball and prepared for the defense. Duncan launched an attack.

   38 years old, turning speed is still so fast, and the movement is extremely solid.

  Li Liang thought, it seemed that he had to be more focused.

  In the second quarter, Duncan once again became the core point of the Spurs' offense.

  His low position offensive, high midrange jumper, and outside screens and covers, slowly revive the Spurs' offensive.

  Like a mess, Duncan will patiently sort out and gradually put the team on the right track.

   If you change to Kobe, the choice to face chaos will definitely be to directly pull out the hammer and get a chaos...

   When Duncan hit the ball in the middle, turned over a difficult throw, and also caused Li Liang to foul, the score of the two sides has already changed, and the Spurs chased only 2 points!

   After the timeout, the Clippers only made a three-pointer with Crawford.

  Duncan made a free throw and the difference between the two sides became 1 point.

The   at&t Center felt like it was alive again, and the Spurs regained the initiative.

  At this time, Paul stood up and after a high screen and Li Liang's screen, a direct mid-range shot near the free throw line was made as a response to the senior Wake Forest senior.

   Three points difference, Spurs immediately counterattack.

   Danny Green rushed to the frontcourt, Tony Parker passed the ball in place, Green made a 45-point three-pointer on the left side and hit!

tie!

   Li Liang served quickly from the bottom line to Paul. Paul delivered the ball to Li Liang after halftime. Li Liang directly passed a pass from the top of the arc to Griffin in the three-second zone.

   Griffin received the ball and turned to suppress Split. He made a layup on the right hand and succeeded to regain the lead.

   started a quick attack on both sides.

   The Spurs also want to open it.

   Anyway, the rhythm couldn't be suppressed anymore, so I just let go.

  To tell the truth, the Spurs team has a versatile rhythm. There is no problem playing fast and slow rhythm.

   In the second half of the second quarter, the offensive speed of the two teams is getting faster and faster, and the defense will certainly relax a lot.

  Li Liang started to shoot three points.

   But Duncan also kept using the pick-and-roll to cut into the basket to score.

   Duncan found that playing Li Liang in a one-on-one low position did not necessarily work well.

   This cargo defense seems to have a lot of experience in defending his low position.

   But if Duncan held up high and took the line that the pick-and-roll cut into, once Jordan was not present, it would be difficult to compensate for Li Liang’s height disadvantage.

  Even if he has [Bill Russell's Fear in the Restricted Area], but the level is only 1st, it feels useless.

   When Li Liang made a three-pointer, followed by Duncan receiving Ginobili's second pass at the basket, dunking with one hand, and causing Li Liang to foul, Li Liang finally couldn't help it.

   "Lao Li! When do you want me to play center?"

  Li Liang roared towards the bench, Rivers was forced into a roaring face.

  He feels that Li Liang played very well...

   Rivers hurriedly shook his hand towards the bench, motioning to let Little Jordan play and replace Griffin.

   "Have you commanded on the spot? Would you like to command me in exchange?"

  Li Liang was a little depressed by Duncan and threw his anger on Rivers.

   Rivers spread his hands, thinking that this is a normal rotation...

  Dunken made a free throw, Li Liang's three-pointer was cancelled again, the two sides evenly divided.

   After halftime, the Clippers and Spurs were completed, and the Clippers led the Spurs by 1 point.

   Duncan scored 21 points in the half and grabbed 10 rebounds in a double-double!

   This is the superstar of the last era, leaving the strongest halftime sound.

  Since the 1985 season, only five players have done halftime in the playoffs.

   Duncan is one of them, and his last feat of doing so, dates back to the 01-02 season, 12 years ago.

   At that time, the Spurs were still fighting with the ok combination to fight for hegemony in the west.

   More than ten years have passed since the blink of an eye~www.readwn.com~ Duncan decided the team's life and death in the Western Conference finals, and did it again.

   However, the Spurs are still behind.

  When Duncan had to stand up and carry the Spurs offensive banner, it was enough to prove that the team's offense and defense were suppressed.

   For the 38-year-old Stone Buddha, such a performance may only support halftime. In the second half, the Spurs still want to rely on Duncan to support Duncan's legs.

   The Clippers here are firm, don't envelop Duncan, old stone Buddha, you have the ability to kill me!

   Duncan was not killed by the Clippers, almost killed Li Liang.

   After halftime, Li Liang was still complaining to Rivers, "Why do you always let me play at the fifth position, even if I occasionally hit it, after playing for half a quarter, I am about to be killed, you know?"

   Rivers patted Li Liang on the shoulder. "You have a good effect against him. It is already the best except Jordan."

  Li Liang was indifferent to such praise at the time.

   Lao Tzu is so delicate and sent to the three-second zone for melee combat, is it not a brutal thing?

   And the inside confrontation really affects the shooting feel. Li Liang made 3 of 8 three-pointers in the first half. His shooting percentage was not very ideal, and there was a danger of being scientific.

  Li Liang thought, in the future, I must go to a team that will not let Lao Tzu play the center of the fifth position. Playing the fourth position is already the limit.

  Li Liang made this wish silently in his heart.

   And later events prove that the father of the system is not worthy of having a desire.
