Coach, I don't want to retire yet

Chapter 623 Yao and McGrady, TMC!

This game between the Bobcats and the Lakers was amazing!

Most NBA fans and experts never dreamed that Kobe and Duncan would become the focus of the opponent's attack in the finals!

Kobe and Garnett are among the best defensive players in NBA history, and Duncan and Kobe are both uncrowned kings of defense.

Although there is no best defensive player, the defense of the two is undoubtedly at the level of the best defensive player.

Especially Duncan, defense is his specialty, especially in the first half of this game, the Bobcats were able to get rid of Yao Ming, and Duncan definitely played a huge role.

Although he failed to defend Yao Ming in his one-on-one defense, no one would doubt that Duncan's one-on-one defense was a failure.

Duncan was unable to defend Yao Ming alone, but there was no doubt that Duncan's one-on-one defense against Yao Ming was successful.

The only player in the NBA who can defend Yao Ming alone is now being beaten by McGrady. Such a scene is really unbelievable.

However, such an incredible thing is happening!
"Too strong! TMC's attack looks even stronger than Yao's!!!"

"The Bobcats are still chasing desperately, the Bobcats are still chasing points madly, the Bobcats still can't overtake the score!!!"

"The Lakers are holding on. The Lakers, who have completely fallen into Coach D's trap, are still holding on to the lead in the game thanks to TMC's singles against Tim Duncan!!!"

After the start of the fourth quarter, the scores of the Bobcats and the Lakers rose alternately, but the Lakers always maintained a slight lead.

Faced with such a game situation, the Bobcats fans at the scene became more and more nervous, because although this game was G6, for the Bobcats, this game was a life-and-death battle. If they won, they still had a chance to survive, but if they lost, they would really have no chance of the finals.

Although many Bobcats fans had never thought about winning the championship before the start of this finals, the Bobcats' performance in this finals was so outstanding that they pushed the Lakers to such a level, which was definitely far beyond the expectations of the Bobcats fans. Since the performance was so outstanding and raised their expectations, naturally, they hoped that there would be a good result in the end.

,

Although there seems to be nothing to be ashamed of in losing to the Lakers led by the Big Three in the finals, why couldn't we beat the Lakers?

Why couldn't they have had a perfect start?

The Lakers want the perfect ending.

And why can't the Bobcats have a perfect start?
However, it is not so easy for the Bobcats to have a perfect start, as the Lakers' Big Three are too strong.

Yao Ming dominated the game in the first half. The Bobcats relied on consuming the entire starting lineup to get rid of Yao Ming. They finally got rid of Yao Ming. In the crucial fourth quarter, McGrady stood up again, and McGrady seemed to be no worse than Yao Ming. What a battle for the second best player in NBA history. Although Beasley and Thabeet are also very strong, it is obvious that they played so well against Duncan's defense, which is already a king bomb.

Even Tabit, who was on the court, had to admit that McGrady was stronger than him.

This is not to look down on Kobe's defense. Thabeet is very clear about the situation on his side. The reason why he focuses on Kobe is not because Kobe's defense is bad, but because he is too familiar with Kobe. He has been Kobe's teammate for so many years and has been Kobe's big brother for so many years. In this world, the defensive player he is most familiar with is Kobe.

At such a critical moment, only when playing against Kobe can he feel the strongest self-confidence.

At this time, strength is important, but what is undoubtedly more important than strength is self-confidence.

His success rate in playing against Kobe is very high, but the amazing thing is that his success rate in playing against Kobe is not as good as McGrady's success rate in playing against Duncan!
This is shocking!

Therefore, even Tabit, at this moment, has great respect for McGrady.

"Coach D is a groundbreaking figure in NBA history. It is because of Coach D's existence that basketball players around the world have seen higher possibilities and farther limits. There is no doubt that Coach D has brought us many great works, but it is obvious that Yao, TMC and Kobe are the three most special ones!"

"Today, with the emergence of Coach D, many so-called mythical beasts have appeared in the NBA. Even now, many of the Bobcats' god-level players on the court are no less powerful than these three. However, for NBA games, the most powerful means to solve problems is often not the strength of the body, but the spiritual strength. I absolutely do not believe that TMC is that much stronger than Tim Duncan, and I absolutely do not believe that TMC's offense under the basket can beat Tim Duncan so easily. There is no doubt that such a miracle is no longer a gap in strength, but a spiritual strength!"

McGrady on the court really gave the audience such a feeling, because every time McGrady defeated Duncan, he would look at Yao Ming on the sidelines affectionately. Such eyes were calm and deep, but definitely not sleepy. At this moment, McGrady's usual sleepy eyes were completely awake.

This kind of McGrady makes people feel like the McGrady who scored 35 points in 13 seconds back then!

"In this world, the player who can create miracles the most is TMC. He is even the embodiment of miracles himself! For such a player, nothing he does on the court will surprise anyone!"

"Yes, at this moment, what happened on the court was very magical, but it definitely did not surprise anyone, because TMC can do such a thing!"

"The real surprise is Coach D. Facing such a terrifying TMC, Coach D did not make any adjustments. He just watched from the sidelines. He seemed to be expecting something. He seemed to be expecting Duncan on the court to be able to do something. This expectation makes people feel that Tim Duncan is not the No. 1 power forward in NBA history, but a rookie in the NBA. Coach D's expectations for Duncan are like treating a rookie. This is equally incredible. Coach D still believes that Duncan has huge potential, the same huge potential as a rookie!"

Duncan on the court is very calm now. In such a crucial moment of the fourth quarter and such a crucial game, he was caught and beaten by McGrady, and the beating was so fierce. In many people's minds, Duncan's mood is now on the verge of collapse, right?
After all, Duncan had just completed a task that shocked the NBA in the first half, successfully defending Yao Ming alone!
At that moment, Duncan's reputation was at its highest. At that moment, McGrady rose to the challenge and faced Duncan head-on. To be honest, if it weren't for Thabeet's tit-for-tat response to Kobe, which made Kobe very upset, the morale of the Bobcats would have collapsed.

Yao Ming was tortured and injured by the Bobcats. This was the credit of the six starting players of the Bobcats, but everyone who watched the game knew that the biggest contributor was actually Duncan.

If it weren't for Duncan, the players of the Bobcats would not have been qualified to consume Yao Ming. Do they really think Yao Ming is so easy to consume?

If Yao Ming was really that expendable, other NBA teams in the league would have already started expending Yao Ming.

In the NBA, although the coaches in the NBA are looked down upon by many academic coaches in the NCAA and are considered to be a group of nannies, although this is true and there are indeed many nanny coaches in the NBA, there are also many top tactical coaches.

Therefore, in the NBA, there has almost never been a tactic or system that is invincible for two seasons.

Whether it was the triangle offense tactical system of the year, Popovich's UCLA, or Coach D's five-guard, or Coach D's Fake Basketball, even many tactical systems were cracked in the season. Therefore, in the NBA, many people say that there are only invincible players, and there has never been an invincible tactical system or team. Therefore, Jordan in the past and Yao Ming now are invincible.

If you want to break these invincible players, you have to use corresponding players to match them. For example, Gary Payton back then. The existence of the gloves made the triangle offense almost a joke. What is the triangle offense? After defending Jordan alone, does the triangle offense exist?

If it really existed, the Bulls' offense wouldn't be struggling so much.

Well, this may be a bit extreme. A more appropriate statement would be that the triangle offense and Jordan complement each other, but it is very clear who is primary and who is secondary.

At the beginning, when Jordan made his first three consecutive hits, the triangle offense was magical. When Jordan made his second three consecutive hits, the triangle offense went from being a magical offense to being a mortal.

If you really want to improve your shooting percentage, the Bulls' shooting percentage throughout the series was 3% lower than that of Seattle, whether it was their field goal percentage or their three-point shooting percentage, it was lower than that of the Seattle SuperSonics. If you really want to have an advantage in the tactical system, Jordan should not be defended so hard, or Jordan should have to attack. In the end, the reason why the Bulls were able to win was not because of how powerful the triangle offense tactical system was, but simply because the Bulls' players were indeed better than the SuperSonics, and much better.

Therefore, even though the Bulls did not play any tactical system, they still defeated the Supersonics with difficulty in the end with their stronger hard power.

This also directly led to the tragedy of Phil Jackson.

A head coach who won 11 championships wanted to prove in the later stage of his career that he was a famous coach who did not rely on flattery. In the end, he was humiliated by Anthony, an ordinary superstar who had never won an NBA championship and had never been the face of the NBA.

If it was a head coach of Du Kang's level, Anthony would not be able to humiliate him even at his peak.

Not to mention Du Kang, it would be impossible for Anthony to humiliate Popovich.

Even Anthony's attempt to deal with George Karl failed.

In the end, Anthony was able to defeat Phil Jackson in New York.

It is hard to say that Phil Jackson's level is not as good as George Karl, or that his recognition in the NBA is not as good as George Karl, but it is obvious that Phil Jackson's recognition in the NBA, especially in the circle, is far less than his reputation as an 11-champion coach. In the eyes of fans and the writings of some media reporters, Phil Jackson can compete with Red Cardinal. However, do you think Anthony dares to express his dissatisfaction with Red Cardinal?

Anthony looks down on Phil Jackson's triangle offense. If you ask Anthony to actually look down on the Cardinal's tactical system, see if he dares to do so.

Therefore, every wrong has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor.

In the eyes of many viewers, McGrady put the blame on Duncan for Yao Ming's exhaustion and eventual injury.

So, even though he knew that Duncan's defense was very strong, and even though he knew that he had been somewhat defeated when playing against Duncan under the basket in previous years.

Facing Duncan, who was not as strong as he was back then, McGrady already had a hard time playing.

Now facing the stronger Duncan, McGrady not only did not back off, but went straight for it. This was to avenge Yao Ming. This is the power of the spirit!
Therefore, many Chinese fans in front of the TV were very moved when they saw McGrady holding on to Duncan and fighting hard on the court.

"Yao and McGrady, Yao and McGrady, at this moment, I finally feel that Yao and McGrady are one!"

The people who were most worried about this game were definitely not the Bobcats and Lakers fans. The Bobcats and Lakers fans found this game very tense and exciting. They were definitely worried, but overall, they had a relatively normal mentality.

Lakers fans will definitely support themselves, and Bobcats fans will definitely not support the Lakers.

Even for Spurs fans, although both sides have their legends, for Spurs fans, they will definitely support GDP.

But for Chinese fans, the two teams' coaches Durant and Yao Ming, plus McGrady and the Lakers' Kobe, Roy and others, are really a tough match.

In the past few years, the Lakers have been the home team of Chinese fans.

The Lakers have a lot of players that Chinese fans like, while the Bobcats have their favorite coach, Kevin Durant. It can be said that the two sides are evenly matched.

It was already worrying, and then Yao Ming was injured in this game.

Then, Coach Durant seemed to be immediately defeated by the explosive McGrady and was about to suffer his first defeat in the playoffs and finals.

However, given McGrady's outburst of affection for Yao Ming, it's hard to feel any dislike for McGrady.

In the end, these Chinese fans found that in this finals, they had to endure two results that they were most unwilling to accept.

Yao Ming was injured and Coach Durant lost the game.

As the game progressed, the score between the Bobcats and the Lakers widened, but Coach D still did not change at all. It seemed that he was powerless to do anything that happened on the court. Or was he in control of his own situation?

Halfway through the fourth quarter, the officials called a timeout.

McGrady came off the court, panting and looking very tired.

"Tim wasn't fooled, the coach wasn't fooled!"

"I wanted to lure Tim into attacking, but he didn't attack once afterwards!"
