The edge of basketball is compelling

Chapter 356 356 ancient data, pay tribute to the legend!
"Mr. Duncan, I won't release water when I play later."

In the player tunnel, Duncan, who had a gray beard, stared at Zhou Si, who returned his original words to him, for a moment, then smiled and said:

"I'll do my best too."

……

The Rose Garden Arena was overcrowded.

In the eyes of many Trail Blazers fans, the Spurs are one of the old enemies of the Trail Blazers.

They still vividly remember the earth-shattering seven games in the Western Conference semifinals last season!
The Blazers won the championship strongly last season, but the Spurs once again fell on the way to the championship and didn't even make it to the confrontation with the Blazers!

But Trail Blazers fans will not underestimate the Spurs because of this!

As long as Duncan is here, the Spurs will always be a championship team in the league!
After warming up before the game, Zhou Si approached Coach Stotts, who meant that Jokic would start this game.

In order to get Favors, the Spurs traded their previous Brazilian center Splitter. This season, Duncan is playing the center position.

Zhou Si's meaning is very simple, let Jokic face Lao Deng's head to brush up his experience.

Now he always plays as a substitute. Although Jokic's statistics are getting better and better, his improvement in strength has slowed down in Zhou Si's view. It's time to fight the boss to speed up the pace of growth.

Besides, it's good to let Jokic be abused, otherwise he may have arrogance if he always plays against the substitute!

As for McGee, Coach Stotts has done a good job.

At the beginning of the season, the management had already talked frankly with McGee and his agent. Jokic will be the future of the team, so it is impossible to sign a maximum salary with McGee after the end of this season.

However, this season, McGee will take on more roles on both offensive and defensive ends, ensuring that he will get a good number in his contract year, and he will be able to get a big contract at that time.

This approach of the Blazers management is really benevolent. You must know that in order to keep players in the contract year, many teams secretly reduce the player's role and reduce his data in order to renew the contract at a lower price.

McGee also felt the goodwill of the Blazers and expressed his support for the management's decision.

So when Coach Stotts and McGee made this request that day, Big McGee agreed without even thinking about it.

After the game started, Zhou Si uncharacteristically took the gun in Lillard's hand and started to carry wildly, directly hitting Popovich by surprise.

Popovich, who has studied the Blazers game, knows that the Blazers have let Lillard go first this season. This is special treatment for him!

How did he know that Zhou Si did all this just to pay tribute to the legend of Stone Buddha!
第一节打完的时候周斯的数据已经来到了11分7板6助外加3个抢断2个盖帽。

Apart from Popovich, Leonard is the one who feels the deepest.

He didn't meet in the playoffs last season, and he hasn't felt such intense offensive and defensive pressure for a long time!

In two seasons, he feels that he has grown a lot, and he is fully capable of being tough with Zhou Si!

But his confidence was almost destroyed when he met him today.

Although he was laughing, the murderous look in Zhou Si's eyes couldn't be hidden at all!
After the first quarter, the score on the field came to 24:30, and the Spurs trailed by 6 points.

In the second quarter, the demon knife was unsheathed and began to kill the Quartet, directly leading the Spurs to play a 7:0 attack wave, and completed the overtake at 31:30!

The second position of the Trail Blazers is indeed too weak.

Zhou Si has already made up his mind that this offseason must strengthen the second position!
Unlike last season's bench gangsters, this season Billups retired, Courtney Lee topped the starting lineup and Yi Di left, the Blazers' bench was already weak.

It's okay to have Jokic as the engine. Now that Jokic is put in the starting lineup, their bench lineup can't compete with the old-fashioned Spurs.

In the words of Kenny Smith, the Spurs are the wealth accumulated over the years. This is the foundation!
The rise of the Blazers is strong, but there is still a gap between the team culture and the depth of the lineup and those old strong teams. These cannot be established in one or two seasons.

You must know that the Blazers have built their own offensive and defensive systems in one or two seasons, which is incredible in the eyes of many media people!

After a 4-minute break, when Zhou Si continued to play, the Spurs had already overtaken by 43 points at 39:4.

Zhou Si didn't talk nonsense when he came on the court, and directly faced Leonard in the amazement of the fans and hit a mid-range hit at a 45-degree angle!
This is not the first time that Zhou Si has hit the middle distance at a 45-degree angle in this game, but fans will still be amazed when they see it.

Because Zhou Si just took out the Stone Buddha move today and it has a high hit rate.

As one of the top ten signature moves in NBA history, with the existence of shoulder-to-shoulder jumper and dream footsteps, Zhou Si found out that it is really useful after practicing at a 45-degree angle a few days ago!
Leaning back requires super strength and flexibility of the waist and abdomen, as well as coordination ability. Dream footwork requires coordinated dribbling and solid footsteps, but hitting the board at a 45-degree angle is different, you only need to shoot!
After the team's confrontation practice, Zhou Si found that hitting the board at a 45-degree angle hardly depends on the touch, because it is a rebound angle, so as long as it hits the corresponding position on the backboard, it will score a goal!

What's more important is that after a fierce confrontation, the hit rate is almost the same as the hit rate when the shot is open!
This is scary.

For Zhou Si, not to mention the turn-around jumper that turned into iron, just take Ganba as an example, and the shooting rate is lower than the shooting rate of the open mid-range!
No way, the NBA is full of supermen, scoring is not so easy.

Closer to home, on the court, Zhou Si continued to carry and chased the score to 58:64 at halftime!

The Blazers lead by 6 points instead!
As the Spurs with a rocky culture, they will not admit defeat. In the third quarter, even Leonard hit a few fadeaway jumpers on Zhou Si's head!
Turning over and jumping back is one of the offensive methods that can ignore defense the most. Whether you can make it or not depends almost entirely on the touch of the offensive player.

Unless the height has an absolute advantage, coupled with super long wingspan and inhuman jumping, otherwise even if the offensive player's shot is predicted, it will be difficult for the defensive player to interfere!
The game between the two sides was inseparable, and the score took the lead alternately many times.

The Blazers have an advantage in starting here, but the lack of Jokic's substitute is indeed a bit worse.

This is also the status quo in the West. Although the Warriors and Trail Blazers are making great strides, the Warriors, Spurs, Thunder, Pelicans, etc. are all behind. It is not surprising who loses to anyone!
It's even harder to predict if it's a series!

The game reached the final moment again!
This time, Zhou Si did not give up the opportunity to Lillard, but directly counterattacked after stealing Leonard and hit a desperate 3-pointer!
110: 114!

The Blazers only won by 4 points, bringing their winning streak back to 4 games!
But fans are more concerned about Zhou Si's data.

21 points, 21 rebounds and 21 assists!
This ancient data is obviously a tribute to the legend of Duncan!
