Chapter 1501 1500. The Spurs Are Wonderful, The Rogues Are Mighty (Ask for a Monthly Ticket)
People don't talk too much, my brother Deng in society!
Duncan is getting more and more social, and Liu Mang has nothing to do with it!
The point is, Duncan's reputation has always been very good. Even the Eagles fans at the scene couldn't hate Duncan's behavior, but couldn't help laughing.

Liu Mang is so depressed!

"We have to find a way to fix this facial paralysis!" Liu Mang hated it so much!
He actually forgot the world's number one power forward in history!
Soon, it was almost five o'clock, the referee signaled the others to leave the field, and the starters of both sides could play.

For the Spurs, fine-tuning was made to the starting lineup. The starting lineup of Parker, Battier, Bowen, Oberto, and Duncan debuted.

Each of the five starting players of the Spurs averaged more than 6 points per game. The worst Bowen averaged just 6 points per game. He averaged 1.2 three-pointers per game and nearly 1.3 three-pointers.

For the Eagles, as before, the starting lineup of Rondo, Liu Mang, McGrady, Marion, and Kwame Brown debuted.

At five o'clock sharp, the referee blew the whistle to start the game and threw the ball into the air...

Old Deng made troubles at the beginning!Duncan, whose weight has dropped from 120 kg to 113 kg, has a slightly worse bounce than Kwame Brown, but his wingspan is better, and he hits the ball first with a slight advantage!

Kwame Brown jump ball lost!

Duncan is the same height as Kwame Brown. Duncan, who has slightly improved bounce and flexibility after losing weight, wins the jump ball by relying on his [-]-meter wingspan that is several centimeters longer than Kwame Brown.

The ball was pointed back by Duncan, and the Spurs went first!

One year older, Duncan's efficiency value has increased from 24.6 last season to 26.8, the fourth highest in his career, even the jump ball has become even more powerful!
Although it was an accident, the Eagles did not lose their minds and immediately retreated to the three-point line to defend.

Rondo waited for Parker to advance, Liu Mang followed Bowen, and McGrady followed Battier.

Unlike Bowen in the past, after Liu Mang followed Bowen to the bottom corner, Bowen did not wait in the bottom corner like before. After seeing Parker advancing, Bowen moved from the bottom corner to a position close to the left side of the three-second zone, blocking Marion who was following Oberto.

Oberto didn't choose to rely on Liu Mang's position to run back. Liu Mang's block at the basket made the Argentine insider very afraid. Oberto pulled out and ran to the top corner on the right side of the free throw line. When Liu Mang continued to circle forward, Oberto suddenly turned around...

Liu Mang saw a bunch of two-meter players running around Oberto, and Kwame Brown was blocked by Oberto!
At this time, Battier blocked Marion from the middle distance on the left, and Bowen returned to the bottom corner again. McGrady switched to Bowen in the bottom corner, broke through the free throw line and did not get rid of Rondo.

At the same time, after Oberto blocked Kwame Brown, he quickly pulled to the bottom line on the right and took Kwame Brown out. Duncan, who had just run out, cut back to the inside line again, and in front of Duncan was... Liu Mang!
Battier received the ball from the player and threw the ball to the right side of the basket!
"Depend on!"

Liu Mang let out a roar and took off with all his strength. He didn't know why the person in front of him became Duncan, and he was squeezed into the basket. When he heard the system prompt that Battier was going to pass to Duncan, Liu Mang was already facing Duncan under the basket. He could only try his best to block the shot...

"Snapped"

There was a crisp applause, and at the same time, there was the sound of Duncan catching the ball and pressing it into the basket...

"beep"

The referee's whistle was a beat slower, but it still blew. Liu Mang fouled Duncan with a shot.
Liu Mang's slap hit Duncan's face...

After being slapped in the face, Duncan turned around and walked to the free throw line with a blank expression like a normal person, waiting for an additional penalty.

Textbook-level teamwork!

Seeing Duncan walking to the free throw line without expression after being slapped, Liu Mang felt troubled!

After the first attack of the Spurs, Liu Mang felt a very troublesome situation.

Although Duncan scored, Liu Mang felt that the Spurs did not have a relatively clear offensive leader. There was a feeling that anyone could shoot, and anyone dared to shoot.

Mainly the Spurs' three outsiders... It's really hard to say who is the most threatening!Theoretically speaking, it is true that Parker is the strongest, but the three have their own characteristics. Battier's setter, Bowen is the most accurate three-pointer on the Spurs, Duncan and Oberto both cannot make mid-range shots, and Parker can't make a breakthrough. Parker has the strongest finishing ability of the league's outside players... The Spurs' style of play shows the advantages and threats of the starting five players as much as possible!
Compared with many fans who didn’t watch the ball in the 13-14 season in the original time and space, they only looked at the player list and couldn’t understand how the Spurs’ old, weak, and weak lineup defeated the Big Three. Now Parker and Duncan are at their peak. Coupled with this style of play, Liu Mang feels no less pressure than the Lakers in last year’s finals!

Using Battier out of Gasol's feeling, only Popovich can do it.

The most important thing is the "Natural King Level 5" triggered by Duncan at the beginning of the game. Duncan is the inner support of the Spurs players and the key to the confidence of the Spurs' role players!The Spurs players are fearless because they have Duncan in the team and the number one power forward in history as the backing!

Players with good free throws are not worthy to compete with the peak O'Neal for the first place in the league. Duncan missed an extra free throw, Kwame Brown and Marion blocked people, and Liu Mang received a defensive rebound.

The Spurs had already expected that Duncan had a half chance of failing to make a free throw. They didn't compete with Marion and Kwame Brown for rebounds. Duncan threw a free throw and the rest of the Spurs began to retreat.

Liu Mang passed the ball to Rondo and took the lead to speed up and run towards the frontcourt.

The opponent retreats quickly, and the Eagles still want to speed up. The three Spurs frontcourt players, Oberto, Duncan, and Bowen, are all over 30 years old, and their physical fitness must not be comparable to that of the Eagles.

After Liu Mang arrived in the frontcourt, Battier defended him, and Liu Mang immediately ran to the left at a 45-degree angle to open up space.

Three-point defense and switch defense are where the Spurs have done well. No matter what the lineup looks like, they have always defended three-pointers very well. There is Duncan, the number one power forward in history with too strong static physical fitness, and the old man who currently ranks first in the league's overall defensive evaluation. The Eagles made very clear offensive choices at the beginning.

McGrady came to the middle distance on the right and leaned against Bowen to ask for the ball!

After Rondo passes the ball to McGrady, he cuts in. Rondo staying outside is equivalent to giving McGrady a double-team gift package. Cutting in is a threat. Liu Mang's finishing ability at the basket ranks in the top five among league point guards, and the league's point guards in shooting percentage at the basket rank third. It depends on the ability to score at the basket.

McGrady received the ball, waited until Rondo took the defense away, ignored Bowen, turned around and made a mid-range shot...

Bowen took a step back when he saw McGrady turn around, and McGrady turned around and made an easy mid-range shot.

This is the advantage of the Eagles. With a mid-range player like the Mihawks, the Spurs system cannot defend them. Battier is the best outside defense of the Spurs. Their system can defend the three-pointer and the basket very well. Therefore, the offensive strategy of the Eagles is that whoever Battier defends will open up space.

The Eagles retreated immediately after scoring a goal. The Spurs did not press the rhythm as before, and there was no psychological fluctuation after being shot. Duncan picked up the ball and sent it out. The Spurs advanced with a relatively brisk rhythm compared to the past.

The Spurs are attacking again!

Unlike other people who have not really experienced the horror of the Spurs, the Spurs' 9-game winning streak at the beginning is surprising, but the Spurs have always been a strong team. The fans and the media were only surprised by the change in the Spurs' style of play.

"Calm down, I need to be calm, I have to judge the opponent's support in the middle distance. It seems that the opponent is passing the ball quickly, but the essence is Battier and Duncan's high position support..."

Liu Mang tried his best to analyze the Spurs' style of play, and tried his best to put aside his fear of the Spurs who were invincible in the two seasons of 12-14 in the original time and space, and tried his best to devote himself to the game.

"Oberto's ability rating is 79, his ability to eat cakes is strong, his offensive rating is only 77, and only his mid-range shooting rating of 85 is his strength. His 60.00% field goal percentage averages only 4.8 points per game. He is the lowest threat. He has the awareness of blocking people and does not pass the ball...Duncan and Battier are the core of the offense, Parker breaks through and scores, Bowen picks and rolls and three-pointers..."

Liu Mang moved along with Bowen while analyzing the characteristics of the Spurs' starting lineup in the last round. When Bowen moved inside to prepare for the pick-and-roll, Liu Mang moved up one step ahead of Bowen and Oberto, preventing Bowen from blocking Marion.

Liu Mang's movement much faster than Bowen blocked the Spurs' first off-ball pick-and-roll!
Oberto failed to get rid of Marion, and did not stop. He immediately turned around and moved from the left side of the three-second zone to the right side of the three-second zone, helping Duncan block Kwame Brown.

Instead of shrinking in, Duncan continued to move out to help Parker block Rondo.

Marion quickly blocked Parker, and Duncan took a step inside the top arc. This position does not worry that Duncan will shoot directly against Rondo. This is not Duncan's shooting range.

Parker was really hard to defend against Marion. He passed the ball to Duncan, who was one step inside the top arc. Duncan caught the ball and avoided the long arm that Rondo wanted to steal.

Duncan's ability to handle the ball is very good, he protected the ball sideways and rushed in, and Rondo did the same.

However, Duncan's breakthrough at this position certainly does not have any emergency stop jumpers. Although he also has a top mid-range shooting ability of 94, he must still have a big gap with Nowitzki, giving Kwame Brown time to move to the free throw line to help defend.

Liu Mang has been observing the situation on the field, seeing Duncan break through, seeing the movement of his teammates...

"Horse rejection level 5 trigger, Tim Duncan - Fabricio Oberto."

This time, Liu Mang's prediction came out, and the system's reminders have not yet finished, Liu Mang has already moved towards the inside line!
Sure enough, after Duncan attracted Kwame Brown, he passed the ball to the right side of the three-second zone. After receiving the ball, Oberto took a step to dunk...

"Snapped"

This time it wasn't a slap in the face, Liu Mang slapped Oberto's ball with both hands!

Blood cap!The scene exploded!

The king of shot blocking among historical guards!
Liu Mang slapped the ball with his palm and jumped very high. When Liu Mang slapped the ball down, it hit Oberto's shoulder and bounced out of bounds!
After landing, Oberto couldn't stand still and sat on the ground!

"Why is this guy here? How does he know that the tactical end point is me?" Oberto watched Liu Mang walk out of the boundary with his mouth curled up, feeling unacceptable!

Duncan didn't expect Liu Mang to take it in. Bowen's restraint in the previous round was still very strong. After all, he was the strongest three-pointer on the Spurs.

As for Liu Mang... he knew that once the ball was in Oberto's hands, it wouldn't come out. This guy shot 70.00% from the basket, and his ability to eat cakes was excellent, comparable to Kwame Brown, but he didn't pass the ball!
Just as the Eagles were about to attack, Popovich called a timeout!

The game lasted only 1 minute, but the fans at the scene were no strangers to it. The Eagles and Spurs are famous for this...
