Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 308 Invincible Duncan, do you just want to be a spectator!
Coach D had to fight with himself on defense, and in the death rhythm that he was good at. Popovich, who was originally excited, became even more excited.

It should be said that at this moment, Popovich has never been more excited!

Coach D is the most recognized head coach in the NBA now and is considered the strongest head coach. He can even admit this.

"But, Coach D, you have never seen, or even thought about, how powerful the demon that is about to come back is!"

In this rhythm, Tim is absolutely invincible!
Many people say that Tim's hard power is evenly matched with Garnett's, [-]-[-]. Popovich does not refute this point. The two's hard power is indeed very close.

But in such a rhythm of the game, in the rhythm of defense, Garnett and Tim are not a team of the same level. Their control over the game and judgment of the game are not players of the same level!

As a result, the two's leadership abilities and influence on the game have never been on the same level!

"This is why Tim is the number one power forward in NBA history, but Garnett is not!"

On the court, the Spurs attacked. After Finsen dribbled the ball for halftime, he did not attack, but immediately handed the ball to Duncan to organize.

Duncan, who stood at the top of the arc to respond to Finsen, received the hand-off pass from Finsen. He didn't stop the ball, dribble, or even observe. He immediately returned the ball to Finsen hand-in-hand.

Receiving, catching, passing, and covering everything in one go. Duncan even stood there without even moving.

However, McAway, who was chasing Finson, was stuck.

If Finson scored this goal, it would not be counted as an assist from Duncan. Finson did not attack immediately.

However, Duncan's role in the Spurs' offense is definitely attributable to him.

So clear!

It almost pointed out a way for Finsen.

Parker in front of the TV looked at Finson who had found a breakthrough route on the TV, his eyes full of nostalgia and envy.

In 2003, Duncan took him and Manu, who were still a group of rookies, all the way to the finals.

In the game, score, rebound, assist, steal, block shot, Duncan can do it all!

At that time, Duncan was the strongest player he had ever seen.

At that time, any Spurs player felt safe around Duncan.

"As long as Tim is by your side, no one will get lost..."

Finson once averaged nearly 5 assists per game in the Pacers. He played the role of an organizer in the Pacers, and even asked Finson to organize the Pacers at critical moments.

Finson has this ability.

Coupled with Duncan's step-by-step guidance, Finson knew where he should go.

If Finson did it by himself, he must have felt that he could break through in a misplaced position against Garnett.

But under Duncan's hand-to-hand passing guidance, his route through Garnett was blocked, and his route inside was blocked.

Instead, Finson's route to the outside opened.

Not inward.

But outward!
This made Garnett, who switched positions to defend Finson, very uncomfortable.

If Finson goes inside, he can confidently block even James.

But Finson went outside.

If he follows him out, then Duncan will definitely go inside!
Without him at the basket, Duncan is invincible!
Great!

Even as an opponent, Garnett can only be said to be awesome at this time.

Other people's pick-and-rolls and screens are just pick-and-rolls and screens.

But Duncan's pick-and-rolls and screens can direct his teammates how to attack.

As an All-Defensive Player level player.

Although Garnett hesitated briefly, he made a decision quickly.

Stephenson's shooting ability is unstable, Finson is not Parker!
There's no need to follow him out.

If Finsen can really make the shot, he will admit it!
Garnett opted for a conservative defensive option.

Garnett has no confidence in his current athletic ability and is afraid that he will not be able to come back after going out.

Seeing Garnett's choice, Du Kang on the sidelines frowned and didn't speak.

Garnett didn't follow.

Fensen was surprised, he really let himself go!

Finsen is not a timid coward, he was the main force of James and the Heat in the Eastern Conference!
One step inside the three-point line, stop suddenly, turn around, jump, lean back, and shoot!

All in one go!
A swipe!
hit!

2 is better than 0!

The Spurs scored on their first possession.

Finson, who never thought about being let go, was very excited and happy after hitting this long-range mid-range shot. Therefore, after scoring the goal, he excitedly ran back to Garnett. If Garnett wasn't so tall, , as tall as James, Finson was probably going to blow into Garnett's ears and taunt him.

Even though he didn't blow into Garnett's ears, Fenson still had Garnett's mentality.

"KG, you were hesitating like a girl just now, hahahaha..."

Finsen's words were ugly and irritating. Not to mention Garnett, even Pierce next to him couldn't help but rushed over to make a move.

But Pierce was finally pinned down by a frowning Garnett.

At the same time, the arrogant Finsen was pinned down from the back of his head.

After Duncan gently stroked the back of Finson's head a few times, he picked up Finson's collar and returned to defense.

Pierce was still very unhappy when he saw Finson being slipped away by Duncan.

"KG, that kid is too arrogant!"

"He was right."

Ok?
Pierce was dumbfounded.

Did I hear correctly just now?

KG said, is that guy Finson right?
KG was scolded and humiliated, but he actually held back? !

The Lakers' first offense in this game was blocked by the Spurs, and McAway was even blocked by Biyombo.

But the Spurs' first wave of offense hit.

Such a comparison made many commentators and experts at the scene even burst out laughing in advance.

"Hahahaha, Coach D wants to compete with Popovich on defense? Is this the defense that makes Coach D extremely confident? It seems that there is something wrong, hahahaha..."

"I don't know where Coach D got the confidence to compete with Popovich on defense, but as far as the Lakers' defense is concerned, Garnett's hesitation made his teammates not know whether to go to cover Finson or to cover the basket. This gave Finson a completely open opportunity. Maybe it's KG's problem, maybe it's Coach D's problem, but Popovich's team will never have such a problem! I swear, Duncan, absolutely There will be no problems like Garnett!"

"Coach D may have made the worst decision in his career. This series will let the whole world see clearly that Coach D is not invincible. Coach D also has shortcomings!"

"Hahahaha, Coach D once said that his defensive ability could be published in a book. Is it possible that all the names written in Coach D's defensive book are Garnett's name? Hahahaha..."

Listening to O'Neal and Kenny Smith laughing like this, McHale had a complicated look on his face.

If it weren't for Coach D's words before the game, in which he seemed to be fighting Popovich on defense, this time the Lakers' defensive failure was just a defensive failure, and no one would laugh at Coach D.

but……

McHale sighed.

As Coach D's old rival and mortal enemy, McHale of course likes to see Coach D deflated, but this time...

McHale sighed again.

On the field, the game continues.

Lakers offense.

The same ultra-difficult defense, the same team does not have a super outside organizer, so it needs inside organizer Garnett to organize the offense.

In the same way as covering for his teammates, Garnett has a lower offensive threat inside than Duncan, so the Spurs' defense consciously expanded outward.

It has to be said that in this kind of low-tempo defensive game, having a super strong inside singles player will enrich the tactics a lot.

This is another big difference between Garnett and Duncan.

"In such an extreme positional battle, Garnett is almost no threat!"

"Oh my god, compared to Duncan just now, is Coach D going to torture KG in this game? The contrast is too strong!"

"Coach D should develop a tactical system tailored for KG in this game, instead of using Duncan's tactical system to compete with Duncan!"

"KG seems to have his hands tied by Coach D now!"

Under the Spurs' defense, the Lakers, who had no chance at all and no offensive threat at all, could only give the ball to Pierce and throw it against Leonard's defense.

Finally, there was a bang!
Strike it!

The Lakers' offense failed once again.

After Pierce struck the iron, the Lakers fans at the scene even let out a sigh of despair.

Even Kobe sighed at this time.

"Almost 24 seconds!"

Yes, if Garnett hadn't passed the ball to Pierce in time, it would have been 24 seconds!

"The gap is too obvious! The gap is too obvious!"

Nash's lips were trembling behind Du Kang.

The Spurs on the court at this time reminded him of too many shadows of the past.

"No, this Spurs' defense is stronger!"

Looking at the still silent coach in front of him, Nash was very confused now, really very confused.

"Coach, why are you playing this way against the Spurs? Why?"

"It's really to prove that my defense can also be the number one in history, so, is it really sacrificing my team and my players?"

"I don't believe it, I absolutely don't believe it!"

Of course Nash didn't believe this.

Kobe, Maizi, Yao Ming, Yees, Roy, Carter, Iverson, none of them believed it.

People who know Coach D don't believe that Coach D is such a person.

But for those who don't know Coach D...

"Coach D is so stubborn and selfish at this time!"

"Coach D in this game will shatter the dreams of countless players. After this game, Coach D will no longer be the coach in their dreams!"

"Congratulations to Popovich, he took Coach D off the altar!"

"Maybe Popovich fulfilled his declaration before the game, Coach D, maybe he was really killed. That sacred Coach D is no longer sacred, and was really killed by Popovich!" Lakers and Spurs The start of the team's game was too dramatic.

The emotions of O'Neill and Kenny Smith were almost directly filled.

Except for the desperate Lakers fans, most of the neutral fans are in a full state of emotion at this time.

Even the current NBA vice president, Adam Joke, had a smile on his face.

"David, your vision is always so interesting. James, Coach D, you thought they were white moonlight, but they eventually turned into black moonlight that hurt you."

Coach D finally became James!
This is so interesting!

"In other words, everyone is just James. James is human nature!"

Even Coach D is no exception.

If you don't do it for yourself, you will be destroyed!

On TV, the Spurs started their second offense.

This time, the Spurs still have Duncan launching the offense and cooperating with Finson, just like the cooperation between Duncan and Parker back then.

Parker is a better shooter than Finson.

Finson is taller, more powerful and wilder than Parker.

After all, the two are not players of the same style.

However, when Duncan matched these two people with completely different styles, there was no sense of unfamiliarity at all.

It's so tacit!

This time Finson and Duncan cooperated, and Garnett jumped out decisively. Finson had no chance. In the end, he could only face Garnett's defense and jump up to hit the ball to Duncan who had already cut in.

When Duncan caught the ball, he was already very close to the basket.

At this time, the person who came to help defend was Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo is working hard to push Duncan, and the return of defensive rules that can be used is still very beneficial to defensive players.

Let players who are not that heavy still have the strength to fight.

But who is Duncan?

The number one power forward in history is even being exploited!
In order to fight against Maizi, Duncan changed his rhythm.

Now Duncan, in terms of offensive rhythm, even Maizi can't afford to provoke him.

It would be better if Antetokounmpo didn't exert any force but still had some energy left.

Now to defend Duncan.

Antetokounmpo has already exerted his strength. This is too easy for Duncan.

Sideways, shoulders stuck Antetokounmpo, Antetokounmpo couldn't move, and wisely chose to retreat. This is to open the distance and prepare for the final block.

Very clever and a good choice.

but……

Duncan jumped up on the spot, threw the basketball in his hand with one hand!
Antetokounmpo is stupid!

In Antetokounmpo's judgment, this time, Duncan will definitely pretend to attack and deceive him. He has already lost his position.

but!

Duncan didn't lie to him this time!
A swipe!
Duncan hit the board with a 45-degree throw!
4 is better than 0!

After the hit, Duncan looked at the surprised Antetokounmpo with a smile on his face.

"Manu was deceived by you, you are dishonest."

Ok?
Antetokounmpo stared at Duncan who had turned away with wide eyes.

What do you mean?
Is it? !
Duncan was actually trying to lie to me just now!

If I were being honest, Duncan wouldn't have to do any fake moves at all, I would just jump up.

Smecta!
I was tricked by Duncan!
Antetokounmpo was so anxious that he even spoke his native language!
The number one power forward in NBA history is really awesome! ! !

How did TMC stop him the year before last?

How did Yao stop him last year?

In fact, neither of these two people stopped him in the end... They both allowed him to complete his evolution.

No, in last year's All-Star Game, Master Olajuwon also allowed him to complete an evolution.

Now Duncan...

In such a rhythm, after covering up the weakness of his declining athletic ability.

That really is...

"powerful!"

"Invincible!"

Even Maizi and Yao Ming on the sidelines sighed subconsciously.

The rhythm is so good!
Duncan's current game rhythm is so good!

"Watching Duncan play now makes me feel like I saw TMC and Yao back in the day. There is an indescribable charm..."

Kobe's eyes widened and he said calmly.

On the sidelines, looking at Duncan who was making a killing, Popovich's face became even more excited.

"So Coach D, I should thank you!"

"It's you who allowed me to have Tim like this!"

"It was you who dug your own grave with your own hands!"

In fact, seeing Duncan like this, Du Kang on the sidelines was also a little surprised.

Duncan is very strong, which is why he wants to recruit Garnett in the offseason no matter what.

Because in the past two years, he and the Lakers really almost died at the hands of Duncan.

only……

Duncan's strength still exceeded his expectations.

The feeling that Duncan is showing now is that even if there is no defensive battle, Duncan will completely destroy his French basketball and the fifth primary school.

As for Garnett, if he can't change himself, it will be difficult to stop Duncan at the basket.

The peak Garnett can block the past peak Duncan.

But the current Garnett can never stop the current Duncan.

Garnett hasn't changed.

No, it cannot be said that it has not changed and he can play center.

He is more comprehensive on the defensive end.

However, this is only a physical change, not a change in himself.

He is actually still the wolf king, the wolf king he once was.

But Duncan has been evolving.

Therefore, it was Duncan who killed randomly at this time, and Garnett who was embarrassed.

Therefore, it is the Spurs fans who are excited at this time, and the Lakers fans who are desperate.

Of course, McHale was also desperate.

Garnett fans are also desperate.

Do our KG and Coach D have a grudge?
Coach D would rather fall off the altar than humiliate my KG!

Now, the whole world feels that Coach D did this in this game to humiliate Garnett and to let the world see how big the gap is between Garnett and Duncan.

on purpose!
"The Lakers offense failed again!"

"10 to 0!"

"The Lakers were beaten 10-0 in the opening game!"

"Coach D is about to take a timeout. Oh my God, Coach D didn't take a timeout. Coach D stood on the sidelines and shouted!"

Seeing this scene, McHale stood up excitedly in front of the TV.

"Coach D, I know that you want Garnett to prove himself. Others say that you want to be above the team. Others say that you want to prove that your defense is also the best in history. But I know that you want to Let KG prove himself, but KG's control and influence on the game is indeed not as good as Duncan...so, why are you?!!!"

why?
Soon, McHale knew.

Du Kang stood on the sidelines and looked at Garnett, who had been beaten by Duncan. Du Kang sighed, and then!

"KG, if you don't make changes now, when will you wait!"

"Do you want to spend your career just being Duncan's audience?!"

"Are you willing to be ridiculed and not worthy of standing next to Duncan?!"

"Now is the time for you to tell the world that no matter at your peak, now or in your career, you are Duncan's lifelong enemy and the strongest opponent of the number one power forward in NBA history!"

"KG, don't you want to be Duncan's back? Duncan will never be able to get rid of it!"

Soon, the world of excitement and ridicule became silent again.

Soon, the excited Popovich and the disdainful Popovich stared directly.

Soon, Nash, Kobe, Maizi, Yao Ming and the others were all stunned, their hands trembling.

silence!

The whole world is silent!

Duncan and Garnett looked at Du Kang on the sidelines in shock.

After a moment of silence, O'Neill's eyes widened and he shouted with a trembling voice!

"Oh my God! Coach D is not selfish, Coach D is for Kevin Garnett!!!!"

"All this is for Kevin Garnett!!!"

but!

Garnett, is he worthy?
Garnett, does he deserve to be treated like this by Coach D? !

Garnett, the shadow of Duncan who was surpassed by Nowitzki and became the laughing stock of many people, is he worthy of standing with Duncan again? !
Garnett, is he worthy? !

"Crazy, Coach D, crazy!!!"
