The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 77 Your uncle is still your uncle
Duncan is 2 meters tall and has a wingspan of 11 meters. He was born as a strong swimmer, and his flexibility, coordination, and explosive power are all top-notch.

The hunger for him in the NBA back then far exceeded the expectations for Tuman this summer. Although he completed his four-year studies steadily, there would be teams waiting for him every season.

When he graduated as a senior, it even triggered a wave of bad luck across the league.

Of course, the Spurs were cheaper in the end.

Also achieved the Spurs!

At the beginning of his career, he used the title of "Flying Devil" to fly into the sky, escape from the ground, dunk dunks across the field, chase hats across the field, dunk dunks all over the field, and beat invincible opponents all over the world...

In the second grade, with the assistance of David Robinson at the end of his career, he won the first NBA championship trophy in team history. Duncan scored 27.4 points, 14 rebounds and 2.2 blocks. The youngest FMVP.

It is not a compliment to say that he was at his peak when he debuted.

Rather, sorry.

Because Duncan lost the meniscus in his left knee in junior year, he will never reach the theoretical peak of his career.

Although Duncan's data was not affected after his comeback, it has improved.

In the 2001-2002 season, his statistics reached 25.5 points, 12.7 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game, but in essence, Duncan's explosive power dropped sharply, his bounce and speed were greatly affected, and his style of play began to transform.

Since then, the "flying devil" who blocks and kills the gods has disappeared, and the floor-style "Mr. Great Basic Skills" has become famous all over the world!
This is not over. In 2006, Duncan began to suffer from plantar fasciitis. This injury made him very distressed. In order to relieve the pain, he was forced to start losing weight and further adjust his style of play.

His offensive area is getting more and more outside, while his defensive position is getting more and more inside. Coupled with the gradual maturity of Parker and Yaodao, Popovich began to control his playing time, and his data declined year by year.

But he's still the best power forward in the NBA, and throughout history, there won't be "one."

What if Duncan wasn't injured?

In theory, he should be—

Flying Apsaras, Great Basic Skills, Devil!

Unfortunately, no if.

Tu Man looked at the "21" on his back, and was filled with emotions for a moment. If Duncan felt something, he turned around and asked:
"Little guy, what are you thinking?"

Tu Man smiled:
"It's nothing."

Duncan shook his head:
"Don't hide it. I'm an expert in psychology. There's regret in your eyes. What are you regretting for me?"

Tu Man sighed and said sincerely:
"If your meniscus is still there, the Spurs may have won ten consecutive championships!"

Duncan showed a rare smile, and stretched out his hand to rub Tu Man's head.

This kneading is natural and inevitable.

"Silly boy, how can there be so many ifs? Nine out of ten unsatisfactory things in life, what we have to do is not to regret and remember, but to face it calmly and bloom to the extreme in the moment. You see, missing a meniscus, and Without delay, I have won three championships!"

Tu Man nodded, there was nothing wrong with that.

After all, you belong to the devil and can live forever...

While speaking, the sun has launched an offensive.

Dragic tried to break through Parker and hit the ball to find Richardson, who stepped back and made a three-pointer against Richard Jefferson.

Jefferson's experience is very experienced, he did not jump, but blocked Richardson's view with the palm of his hand.

This is a blind shot of pure feeling.

Iron.

Duncan has been standing loosely by the side chatting with Tu Man, but the moment Richardson made a shot, he moved like a rabbit!

With a diagonal step, he stood in front of Tu Man and spread his arms.

Tu Man squeezed, and Duncan took a small step forward, but still maintained the "chicken mother" posture, protecting Tu Man under his wings...

This is what you forced me to do!
Tu Man took two steps back, rushed forward in a diagonal thrust, and jumped behind Duncan!

Duncan felt that his back was empty, and suddenly knew something was wrong, but Richardson's shot had already knocked out of the basket, so he jumped up and grabbed the basketball regardless of the brutality.

Suddenly there was a strong wind behind him, and a big hand appeared above Duncan's head, passed between his hands, grabbed the basketball, and slashed down!

"Oh!"

The basket swayed, and Tuman passed by Duncan's left side and landed gently on the baseline.

Duncan felt lonely, tilted his head and looked at Tu Man.

"Little guy, it's not good for you to do this!"

Tu Man laughed and said:

"What's wrong, you see I didn't bump into you, how polite!"

Duncan shook his head and glanced sideways.

"In this way, I have to play better, or Pope will be unhappy!"

Tu Man clapped his hands, full of fighting spirit:

"Come on, let me tremble under the whip of the flying devil!"

Duncan took a deep look at him:
"as you wish!"

In the next round, Duncan held the ball on the right side of the paint, and Tu Man stuck close to him.

Duncan dribbled the ball twice, leaned back, Tu Man remained motionless, and his horse stance was firmly planted.

Another bump, and Tu Man was as solid as a rock.

Duncan took advantage of the momentum to turn to the free throw line, and Tuman slid to keep up.

Duncan stopped suddenly, and then walked the bottom line. Tuman's calf suddenly exploded, and he pushed him back abruptly.

Duncan walked halfway, stopped suddenly again, and slammed back suddenly.

This time, Tuman's footing was unstable, and he took a big step back when he was hit by Duncan. Duncan took the opportunity to dribble the ball to the bottom, and Tuman quickly regained his center of gravity, and went straight to the baseline to intercept.

Duncan didn't turn back, he went left along the baseline.

Seeing the basket passing by above his head, Tu Man stopped and thought:

"What's the matter, just ran away?"

But Duncan jumped up suddenly, rounded his right arm, looked back at the moon, found the basket accurately, and smashed the ball in!

Woj, are you a defender?

Tuman saw that Kobe used this move before, and Rose also used it, but they were not tall enough, and looking back at the moon was a throwing move...

Duncan is so long, he easily buckled one!
Time flies, stay forever!
Tu Man was dumbfounded, but Duncan remained expressionless, as if he had just completed an ordinary 45° wipe...

A few more possessions later, Parker steals Dragic.

The Spurs counterattack defensively!

The Suns' fastest return to defense was still Tuman. He didn't care where the ball was, and went straight into the backcourt, even surpassing the Spurs' fast break formation, and reached the basket first!
With a sudden brake, he turned around.

Parker has already crossed Duncan, too late to think.

Tu Man squatted down slightly, soared into the sky, raised his arms high, and pressed down on Duncan who was jumping at the same time!
Duncan rushed forward with great kinetic energy, holding the basketball in his long arms. The moment he came into contact with Tuman, his hands suddenly changed to one-handed. hack!
"boom……"

Tu Man had a look of disbelief, his butt flew backwards and flew out of the bottom line.

Duncan landed firmly and raised his fist.

The years are old.

Your uncle is still your uncle!
