Chapter 196 193: The demon sword is blunt, Dudu is hard, and Bao Wengou is dead (4.8K for tickets!)

When a team is willing to use the league's top forward to mark Wayne, it is enough to show Wayne's excellence.

In fact, if it is two or three years later, Duncan will definitely not follow the three-point line to defend Wayne.

But before 2005, including 2005, Duncan, whose mobility had not completely degraded, was actually a power forward defense.

That is to say, it is commonplace to go out to sweep, turn around to mend the hat, and prevent going out.

Take the last round of the series as an example. Duncan was Marion's main defense at the beginning, and he often went out to delay when Nash was playing the pick-and-roll.

It wasn't until after 2005 that Duncan, who was troubled by plantar fasciitis, began to defend like a center because of the decline in his athletic ability, guarding the basket and waiting for others to send a risk.

That's right, wait and see.

Duncan's blocks always give people a "coincidental" feeling.

Don't the fans often joke that Duncan's last 1000 blocks in his career were all done standing on the ground.

Now, Popovich is still willing to let Duncan go out to defend.Even if the opponent cuts into the penalty area, Duncan can defend back immediately.

But the very tricky question now is that Wayne has a super high level of three-pointers!

Duncan has to guard back, Wayne's three-pointer can really hit the dead.

Therefore, Popovich's arrangement today is to keep Duncan by Wayne's side.

O'Neal and Wayne, Popovich chose the latter.

After Wayne scored the first assist, the Spurs quickly pulled back a goal from Ginobili.

With a screen from Duncan on this ball, Ginobili came out and shot.

As the saying goes, a sports car in adversity is a Buddha in adversity, and a demon sword in a desperate situation slays demons!

The Argentine seemed to have continued the outstanding touch of the previous game, and the small jumper was in a good shape.

Seeing that the Pacers did not make any defensive adjustments to Manu, Spurs fans were happy.

This is not afraid of being cut by the demon knife!

But contrary to the fans, Popovich is now worried.

If you don't target the defensive Manu, how can Duncan be liberated! ?

How come there are people like you!

Manu has been labeled like this, can you show him some respect!

I dig a hole, how can you Carlisle not jump?

Don't pay attention!

Just because Ginobili can score now doesn't mean he can score like that later.

After all, Manu's physical strength, to use a word that men don't like to hear, is-not long-lasting!

It was fierce, but it ended very quickly.

Manu called Jordan for 20 minutes. Do you think the focus is on Jordan?

No, the point is 20 minutes!

Short is really short.

In the last game, Manu didn't start to block and kill God until the second half.In the first half, it was mainly Duncan.

Therefore, as long as Duncan can be sealed today.In the second half, Manu naturally killed the game.

The question is, can the league's No. [-] PF be defended?

When Duncan missed his second consecutive offense, the Pacers told the world: "The best Duncan can be guarded!"

This time, the moment Duncan took the ball, four of the Pacers shrank into the three-second zone!

As soon as he rushed in, he found that Artest, who was stuck on the edge of the three-second zone, reached out to cut the ball.

So, Duncan immediately raised the basketball high, collected the ball directly with both hands and chose to layup.

But such a layup is easily predicted by the opponent.

So, when Duncan took off, the No. 99 jumped out at the right time.

"Snapped!"

"This" Popovich was stupid, Wayne actually covered Duncan! ?

That first-year rookie overshadowed the league's No. [-] power forward who was at his peak! ?

"Beautiful block! Wei, he appeared in the most correct position in time! This is an exquisite team defense, the Pacers retracted very decisively.

In the end, Wayne ended the Spurs' offense. "

Duncan still had no expression on his face, and immediately retreated after being blocked, as if it wasn't him who was blocked.

As long as I pretend to be innocent enough, it's not me who is covered!

The Spurs thought the Pacers would continue to play slowly, but just as Duncan ran across the midfield line, he saw Payton pass him with the ball.

"You're driving too fast!" Duncan yelled in his heart.

The Frenchman Parker has been sticking close to Payton, but Payton took the initiative to confront Parker and put Parker behind him.

You can say that the Spurs' team defense is very good, but Parker's single defense is really covered up by the Spurs' system to be honest.

Diving into the inside line, Payton directly threw himself up and forcibly attacked the frame.

At this time, Bowen rushed out from the side and roughly knocked Payton down in the air.

Others may not be able to see it clearly, but Wayne clearly saw that when Bowen raised his right arm, the left arm below him was not honest at all, and there was a pushing movement in the air.

Don't ask Wayne how he knows, this kind of meticulous small movement observation ability is the basic quality that every fighter should have!

Eh?But I seem to be a basketball player.

In short, the old Payton was pulled and fell heavily to the ground.

But at the same time as the referee whistled, the basketball thrown by Payton also fell into the net.

Payton got a chance to hit a three-pointer!

"This is Payton's last stubbornness! His brave layup gave him a chance to get an additional penalty. This is the leading role of the veteran in the finals."

"You're so soft, you know? Back in the '90s, we just called that petting, Ms. Bowen."

Payton stood up and sprayed trash talk at Bowen, looking very relaxed.

But it actually hurt Peyton to death!

The butt almost fell apart!

Do you understand respecting the old and loving the young, bastard!

But in front of villains, no matter how painful you are, you have to brace yourself.

Because your fearful eyes are the source of their strength!

Bowen didn't get entangled with Peyton too much. As a trash man, would he still care about your trash talk?

He turned to leave, but just as he turned, he bumped headfirst into Wayne.

Wayne didn't know when he ran behind Bowen without saying a word. After Bowen bumped into Wayne and looked up, he was petrified in place.

To describe Bo Wen's mood at this time in one sentence is to scare me!

"What are you doing here!?" Bowen swallowed, and took two steps back.

For some reason, he felt a dull pain in his stomach again.

Good guy, the sequelae were all sorted out by Wayne.

"You bumped into me, and you can't even say sorry?" Wayne stared straight at Bowen, and the ferocious wild wolf immediately turned into a little sheep.

Seeing that the momentum was wrong, the referee rushed up immediately and separated the two.

This is the NBA Finals, and Stern will not allow any fights to happen, so the referees are also very sensitive.

"Hmph, try to tease me if you have the guts!" Seeing the referee appear, Bowen became "tough" again in an instant like a dog being held by a leash by its owner.

Anyway, there is a "master", who am I afraid of! ?

But in fact, what he was thinking in his heart was: "Can I trouble you to hurry up next time! It's scary to death, you know!"

Wayne, however, walked past the referee and approached Bowen.

Bowen wilted again in an instant, "Brother Wei, I was just joking, you won't really touch me, will you?"

After all, he was the one being chased and beaten by Carter, how tough do you really think he can be?

Bowen who plays yin is okay, but Bowen who plays hard may be less interesting than hard special.

"Don't let me catch you, they can't protect you for the whole game." Wayne pointed at Bowen, bluntly threatening.

This is a person who dares to intimidate even the referee, will he not be able to scare Bowen?

Bowen backed away silently, which was a mess.

He swore that he would also find a chance to let Wayne experience a torn ankle too!

Payton got back on his feet with the help of others.

After standing at the free throw line, the San Antonio fans booed violently.

But Payton is a person who has seen big scenes after all, and he still made the ball steadily despite the interference of the fans.

With a successful three-pointer, the Pacers continued to open the score and occupy an absolute advantage!

Popovich was a little panicked. The Pacers' ability to adjust and the players' ability to execute tactics were indeed far beyond his expectations.

In the subsequent games, Duncan was still very embarrassed on the offensive end.

Regardless of the number one player in the league, it is not easy to score goals in the face of at least three double-teams.

On Wayne's side, although he didn't score as many points as Duncan, he had a lot of assists!

It was another pass to Xiao Ao, and another assist to Wu Sheng and Artest to cut in.

After Miller came on the court, he made several shots from beyond the three-point line, all of which were opportunities after playing pick-and-roll with Wayne.

I have to say that the two veteran players, Miller and Payton, are in really good shape today.

Payton was not afraid of physical confrontation, and Miller made a lot of shots decisively.

To win the championship, they are not just talking.

Although Wayne didn't score much today, he is undoubtedly the centerpiece of the Pacers' offense.

All the offenses revolved around him, around the premise that Duncan was pulled away!

So, after halftime, when Duncan only scored 10 points on 4 of 10 shots, Wayne entered the locker room with 9 points and 6 assists!

Fortunately, Manu used 15 points in the half to help the Spurs stabilize the situation, and finally entered the halftime behind only 6 points.

The league's No. [-] former player is struggling under the defense of the Pacers!

"The Pacers played very well offensively today, and at the same time contained Duncan on the defensive end. Coach Carlisle's adjustment had an immediate effect!

If they can also pinch Ginobili at the same time, then the victory is within their grasp! "

Well, Ginobili, now the Spurs' offense needs to look up to Ginobili.

But in the first half, because Duncan was locked up, Ginobili had played a lot of time, and to be honest he was very tired.

So in the locker room, Carlisle waved his hand: "Continue to smash Tim Duncan in the second half!"

In the second half, Popovich also made some adjustments.

He replaced Muhammad with Robert Horry, and it was a one-shot.

But the Pacers' contraction remains resolute.

At most, Wayne was a little more tired than the first half, and needed to sweep back and forth between the three-second zone and the three-point line.

However, Horry is a typical player who can't play until the critical moment.

His three-point shooting rate today is very average, and he cannot pose an effective threat at all.

And after Horry played, the Spurs were even worse on the defensive end.

You let Robert Horry protect the frame, are you kidding me?

Jermaine O'Neal played well today, and as the captain of the Indian City team, he finally set an example for a while.

As a result, Suantai started yelling "It's empty, it's empty" again, words that Bowen couldn't understand, for fear that Xiao Ao would get all the points by himself.

Bowen: Why can't you see me or what, my status is like this now?

After the third quarter, the Pacers have led the Spurs by 14 points!

Duncan continued to make 2 of 0 shots in the third quarter and did not score in sports.

Popovich couldn't even imagine that the Pacers actually found a way to contain Duncan.

Duncan and Wayne have exchanged sons today, and Wayne has only scored 13 points so far, which is far from the level he played against the Heat before.

I have to say that Wayne is really not easy to play under the stunned marking.

But after three quarters, Wayne still got a double-double - 13 points and 10 assists!

All his points were evened out by beautiful assists time after time!

"This is the Duncan defense textbook that Carlisle dedicated to the entire league! At the same time, Wayne also told all the inside players what is called high post support!" After the three quarters, Mike Breen said with emotion.

Duncan's support today is actually pretty good, but the Spurs themselves are not up to the mark from beyond the three-point line.

Whether it is Horry, Bowen, Parker or Manu, today's three-pointers are very average.

Let's pass Duncan inside, because the space is too small, so most of the pass errors.

So far, the Pacers have caused the rigorous Duncan to make 5 turnovers, which is incredible for a player like Duncan.

After all, so far this year's playoffs, Duncan has averaged only 2.7 turnovers per game, and the Pacers are equivalent to directly doubling Duncan's turnovers.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Popovich drew the demon knife from his waist.

But at this time, the knife was blunt.

Manu Ginobili is now exhausted and out of breath. As soon as he came up, he hit the iron twice in a row, completely denying Popovich a chance to comeback.

So in the fourth quarter, it must be Manu who kills the game.

But as for who was killed, it is not certain.

Originally, Bao Wen wanted to save the whole job, and use Xiao Ao to add to the fun.

But today Wayne stared at Bowen with malicious intent throughout the whole game, Bowen really didn't dare to act rashly!

After not watching the first quarter, Bowen is much more honest.

A look, Bowen himself felt.

If you don't realize it, your eyes will turn into iron elbows.

Wayne completed a true. Eyes defense on Bowen!

Popovich looked at the court with an expression of disbelief.

He didn't expect that the Pacers could really dismember their Spurs!

From offense to defense, from coaching staff decisions to player performance, the Pacers played like a champion!

Duncan is undoubtedly the number one power forward in the league, but Popovich is not necessarily the number one coach in the league.

Carlisle told him--like someone out of his wits.

The exhausted Ginobili was completely lost, while Duncan continued to paddle and scored 2 points in a single quarter!

Popovich: "Traded, I'm going to trade you all!"

At the end of the fourth quarter, an exasperated Bowen finally decided to attack Jermaine in a defense.

But Wayne arrived in time and knocked Bowen out of the baseline like playing football.

As a result, Wayne was only called for a rebounding foul.

Bowen was thrown hard enough this time, he estimated that before he got rid of others, he would be got rid of by Wayne first.

Brother Wei didn't joke with him today.

If Bowen dared to try, he would really die.

The whole job is not completed, the demon knife is not easy to use, and the league's first fool is locked up again, what else does the Spurs have?

Nothing!

"96 to 79, my God, this is an incredible score! The Pacers are at the SBC Center and slaughtered the Spurs by 17 points!"

At the end of the game, all the Spurs fans covered their heads with their hands and stared at the court in disbelief.

This Nima score is reversed!

At this time, there were no fans anymore, so I had the nerve to hold up the sign that said "2-0".

"Tim Duncan was completely under control today. He only made 15 of 5 shots, scored 33.3 points with a 14% shooting percentage, and had 5 turnovers!

Manu played well in the first half, but he seemed overwhelmed in the second half, especially in the fourth quarter.

The Argentine scored 25 points today, but his shooting percentage was only 41%.Such efficiency is not enough to fill the lack of Tim Duncan. "

The Spurs' stats today are really ugly. On the other hand, for the Pacers, Jermaine Ao scored 30 points in the low post, and Artest also scored 19 points.

Two veterans, Miller and Payton, each scored 14 points.

The most important thing is that everyone's efficiency is quite high!

Wayne's passing is always able to find the most correct position.

Wayne, on the other hand, scored 16 points and 13 assists with only 2 turnovers.

What is the core of tactics, that is, you can get double-double data even if you are defended to death!

This time, it was Wayne who walked up to Popovich, raised his head and laughed.

"You're nothing without Duncan, Craig. A team with Duncan can win with a tethered dog on the bench!" Besides laughing, Wayne also said something that could easily cause blood pressure to soar.

Popovich flushed again.

Batman's punch hit Penguin's vitals!

The Pacers reminded Popovich and Duncan that the road to the championship has never been easy.

After the game, although Jermaine O, who scored the highest 30 points in the game, was named the best player in the game, but Mike Breen had his own opinion.

"Although it's an exaggeration to say this, whoever can handle this first-year rookie of the Pacers can handle the Pacers! The Spurs should value Wayne, just like the Pacers value Duncan!"

The strongest freshman in the 21st century, well-deserved reputation!

　Thank you for the 6000 rewards and Dongxu for the [-] rewards!At the same time, I would also like to thank woofer, Shen Ye alone, LOVE parting and other bigwigs for their rewards, thank you very much!
