Chapter 636 Blocking Duncan
After returning to the court, Garnett calmed down a lot, even if Duncan was "cute and cheap" he could sneer at it.

This is the Garnett that his teammates want to see, not emotional, not grumpy, not having disputes with opponents, and devoting himself to the game wholeheartedly.

Garnett can do far more than people think, as long as he can "sink" into the game with one heart and one mind.

With Garnett behind him to check for gaps, Bai Jidong can focus more on the offensive end.

In the second half of the first quarter, the two wolves of Apolis led the wolves to beat the Spurs.

At the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves achieved a lead by 7 points.

After the break, the two teams first played half of the main lineup and half of the substitute lineup to beat each other, and then went to the main lineup to fight.

At the end of the half, the Timberwolves still had a 5-point lead.

As expected by the outside world, the game was very anxious. Duncan's performance was not dominant, but it was enough to contain the Timberwolves' inside line.

Garnett's performance is very good, but the hit rate is mediocre.If you don't watch the game and only look at the data, Garnett's performance is simply cancerous.

8 out of 2, such a hit rate is simply unbearable.

Garnett found that his touch today was cursed, so he stopped taking shots and devoted himself to supporting.

In terms of the functionality of auxiliary players alone, Garnett can be compared with any player in history.

Some people are destined to be great, standing in the spotlight and enjoying the cheers of the crowd; some people are destined to burn themselves in the shadows and light the way of others.

Sadly, these unsung heroes can only be revealed in high-level stats.

Most football fans don't realize how important their football is to their team.

"You're giving TD too many catches."

Casey listed a set of data, namely Duncan's average number of balls received in the regular season and the number of balls received in the first half tonight.

"It's true that we limited TDs well, but we couldn't allow a superstar who could change the situation of the game at any time to receive so many passes."

"With Shaq, more than half of those passes would turn into points," Casey said.

Simeon asked: "TD's upper body strength is very strong, it is difficult for us to restrict him from receiving the ball." "Yes, if there is a problem, it should be raised." Casey said appreciatively.

Everyone wants to hear how he solves this problem.

I saw Casey assigned the task to the outside line: "Every round in the second half, I will make sure that at least one of you is in the same area as TD, and at the same time, you must increase the threat to the ball."

"It takes a couple of impressive steals to get the San Antonio backcourt to scare you," Casey said.

The Timberwolves have two extremely threatening stealing experts, one is Bai Jidong, with speed and responsiveness; the other is Vashabek, with athletic ability and instant explosive power.

Casey's arrangement means that the Timberwolves will use a three-forward lineup in the second half.

Although the athletic ability of this lineup is amazing, it has serious flaws.

The Spurs will undoubtedly seize this flaw, and the Timberwolves will even fall into a passive position because of this flaw.

However, if Duncan can be restrained, all costs are worth it except losing.

"Anytime I watch a Spurs game, the first thing I notice is how heatedly they talk about defense. It's a friendly, competitive discussion, like five buddies at a blackjack table going on and on. Trying to find a way to kill the dealer."

Before the start of the second half, the two commentators were chatting about the Spurs.

"Yes!" Simmons said. "TD is the center of it all, an oversized leader who silently watches over everyone else. During timeouts, we can always see him extending his arms to the surrounding teammates before giving orders. Or wave to everyone for an impromptu pep talk. He's the backbone of their defense and their smartest player, tight end scorer and most competitive player, one of those outstanding, can't One of the superstars measured only by numbers."

Simmons, who is known as a poisonous tongue, rarely praises a player so much. His praise of Duncan also reflects the regret of the Celtics fans. They used to be so close to Duncan, but now they can only watch Duncan put on the Spurs jersey, showing off his talent for the Spurs.

The tit-for-tat three-forward lineup surfaced, and Popovich took a cold look. He didn't think this lineup with obvious flaws could cause them much trouble.

The Spurs had the right to start the second and third quarters. Parker received the serve from Duncan, muttered a few words and then came over.

"Tony, from now on, I will switch to defending you. Do you know what this means?"

Parker slammed on the brakes, dribbled the ball and glanced at Bai Jidong.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Parker always felt that Duncan's defenses had increased.

"What are you waiting for? Come on, let's have fun together!" Bai Jidong seduced.

Parker knew Bai Weidong's defense, so he didn't act rashly at the moment, and patiently waited for other teammates to move.

Many things can't be hidden under the increasingly sophisticated statistics.

For example, the Spurs' opening offense is used to letting Duncan play.

Duncan hunched his waist and tried his best to get a position. For him, the real danger was Garnett behind him, but Battier who was always around him and was ready to intercept incoming passes.

Duncan is far more aware of how dangerous he is than his teammates. He only hopes that his teammates can spot the ball before passing. If he passes the ball in casually, the chance of being intercepted is too high.

Parker turned for a while, and finally passed the ball.

Duncan secretly thought that it was not good, and quickly unloaded his energy to get rid of Garnett, and gave up the position he had worked so hard to get to.

Battier's steal didn't work out, but it did push Duncan into an awkward position.

Duncan can't do anything in this position but pass it to someone else.

"Look, TD can't do it either." Bai Jidong said, "TD can't be your parent forever, you should learn to grow up on your own."

Parker is not a good baby who is talked about for fun. Would a person who was yelled at by Popovich 2.7 times per game in his rookie year be a good baby?impossible.

Bai Jidong forced Parker to attack, not because he was sure that he would be able to defend him, but also because he wanted to test the depth of the opponent.

The speed of the Frenchman is on the same level as that of Bai Jidong.

The moment he picked up the speed, Bai Weidong kept up with him simultaneously, and there was a feeling of déjà vu.

Iverson back then, TJ Ford before the injury was nothing more than that.

What's most unfair to these elf-like little guards is that a two-meter-tall forward has the same straight-line speed, agility, and unfathomable acceleration as them.

Parker ran halfway and was caught up by Bai Jidong. Seeing that the road was blocked, Parker grabbed Bai Jidong's lower limbs and rolled like a whirlwind.

Parker used this set of spinning tops to turn around and make layups, and he has tricked many people. Bai Jidong was also tricked. The biggest difference between him and other people who got tricked is that he couldn't guard against it and had to find a way to disgust his opponents.

Parker leaned against Bai Weidong's core, preventing him from exerting force, and turned around to throw.

On the line of throwing, Bai Weidong raised his hands above his head.

"Boom!"

"Excellent touch!" Breen exclaimed.

Simmons followed up: "Tony is another pearl from the San Antonio gold rush, and he is growing at a rapid rate."

"Didn't you let me do it? I'm doing it now, do you feel satisfied?" Parker's words were full of provocation.

Bai Jidong twisted his neck: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Facing Bai Jidong's defense and scoring a goal, Parker's confidence greatly increased: "I know, I will continue to buy you French red wine, and I promise you will never dare to touch me again."

Parker's confidence made people think that he beat Bai Jidong, but in fact he just scored a goal in front of Bai Jidong.

"Tell me, why is he so confident?" Bai Jidong asked.

Battier laughed: "Probably your defense made him feel too easy."

What a shame!

Bai Jidong is also a person who cares about face, how can he be so despised?First of all, we must fight back to suppress the arrogance of the French.

On the defensive end, Bowen is still defending Bai Jidong.It's a pity that I can't beat Parker head-on. Looking back, these people are all the way, who is not hitting?
Pulling to the right, Bai Jidong singled out Bowen.

Compared with wonderful cooperation, the audience prefers superstars to go it alone for their own sake.

Bowen is the No.1 of the Spurs' perimeter defense, and his strategic position on the defensive end is second only to Duncan.

As long as this point can be blown up, if it waits to cut off Duncan's left and right arms.

The ball flapped in front of his body, and Bai Jidong's sense of rhythm after starting the attack was rare.

No matter how alert the defensive player is, he will think he is going to attack the other side.

Bowen's pressure on the ball is strong enough, but he can't keep up with Bai Jidong's rhythm.

He changed direction in front of his body, pulled his crotch to the side, and suddenly stepped into Bowen's position with one step, and took the position away like a barbarian.

"go to hell!"

Bowen wanted to steal the ball from behind, but Bai Jidong slapped the ball and turned from the side, nimbly avoiding Bowen's hand, and opened the distance with Bowen in one fell swoop.

In this position, no one can stop Bai Jidong from scoring.

Looking at the basket, Bai Jidong stepped up to ask me out, his jumping height is not high, but his shot is very fast.

Shooting looks so smooth as always.

"Shh!"

Bai Jidong succeeded in singles, and his eyes fell on Parker: "French, if you are really that confident, you should come and face me. What's the point of asking your teammates to help?"

Parker said: "Bruce, I'll defend."

"You guard? Really?"

The mistrustful eyes of his teammates hurt Parker deeply.

Whether it's fighting against Bai Jidong, or proving himself to his teammates, he has to give it a try.

"French, are you sure you want to continue fighting?"

While Bai Jidong was asking questions, the pressure on Parker also became stronger.

"Tony, what the fuck are you doing?"

Popovich's roar extinguished Parker's passion like a basin of ice-cold water.

After his rookie year, Popovich scolded Parker less often.

However, Parker is still the most scolded person in GDP.

The only person who can stop Parker from being passionate is Popovich. Hearing Popovich's words, Parker throws the ball to Ginobili who is so bored that he grinds the soles of his shoes.

Vashabek defends Ginobili seriously, and the experience of the two is too different. Ginobili has a hundred ways to play with Vashabek.

Duncan seriously asked for a position, Ginobili shook Vashabek three times, and he was about to break through, and Duncan was about to get his position.

Ginobili is not a person who is greedy for success, as long as he sees an opportunity, he passes the ball very quickly.

The palm big enough to hold the whole ball encased the ball and blasted it like a mortar.

A good pass missed the target and was destroyed by Bai Jidong.

"Thank you for the pass, I accept it!"

When Ginobili passed the ball, Vashabek's first reaction was to run forward, which was a habit brought to him by his offensive awareness.

Ginobili's pass was intercepted, and the defense did not show the slightest panic. He ran in the most correct position and blocked the most comfortable passing line.

"Good position, but this can't trouble me!"

Bai Jidong pushed the ball forward with both hands, and the ball passed behind Ginobili and flew into Vashabek's hand.

The next thing is very simple. Vashabek holds the ball with both hands, leaps across the paint and dunks.
