Chapter 136 Tim Duncan Was Tired Sometimes

The Suns took the lead in the first half.

Under Lin Ri's outstanding performance, they entered the second half with a 7-point lead.

For this situation, Gentry only has two words.

Right!

He also looked at Popovich more often.

Popovich's complexion is also getting worse.

The boat of friendship between the two is about to capsize.

But in Gentry's view... just turn it over, let you say that the talent of my family the sun is not as good as Tim Duncan!
Popovich returned to the locker room with a sullen face, and first scolded Jefferson severely.

Jefferson was scolded, and he was embarrassed to talk back. He played 12.3 minutes in the first half and only scored 3 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, but made 3 turnovers.

He has a net rating of -10 on the floor.

With his annual salary of around 1500 million, how could he have the confidence to fight back when he was scolded for his performance!
Jefferson has not yet integrated into the Spurs system...

Popovich stopped talking when he was tired of cursing, and looked at Jefferson with a sad face. He didn't feel sorry for Jefferson, but he felt sorry for the 1500 million.

He really didn't understand. This guy has a body, offensive ability, and no obvious shortcomings. Why is it so difficult to integrate into the Spurs system?

Isn't it better to play to your own strengths by playing next to Tim Duncan?
Hey, I don't understand!
Popovich took his assistant to a meeting.

Tim Duncan, who had been silent just now, patted Jefferson on the shoulder, did not speak, but patted his hand down, and rubbed his shoulder vigorously.

"Dude, don't take it to heart, Greg took the wrong medicine today."

Tim Duncan didn't say that to comfort Jefferson, but he really felt that this guy was inexplicably aggressive tonight.

But the question is, is this a must-win game?
Tim Duncan thought for a long time and couldn't figure out why Popovich wanted to win so much tonight.

Jefferson felt a lot better when he heard Tim Duncan scold Popovich for being out of his mind.

Seeing that Jefferson's complexion improved a lot, Tim Duncan said what he wanted to say: "Dude, pay attention to keeping up with my rhythm in the second half, we have to put a little pressure on the guys on the opposite side!"

Tim Duncan wasn't going to just lose the ball.

In particular, he remembered that Lin Ri scored 13 points in the first half, right?
The guy did really well today.

But... if he played so well and won the game, it would be a bit too dazzling!

The NBA does not allow such a rookie to exist.

Tim Duncan is going to give this guy some trouble.

The old guy's addiction to grooming the new guy is back.

It just so happened that Popovich also had a strong desire to fight today. If he tried his best, this guy probably wouldn't replace him.

Lin Ri didn't know that he had attracted the attention of an old guy, and he was quite satisfied with his performance in the first half.

And now the team is also in the lead.

It’s just that he didn’t understand why Gentry was so happy. As soon as he got back to the locker room, he pulled everyone from the Suns into a high-five: “Okay, guys, you did a good job. Listen, keep this momentum in the second half, and we can definitely win!”

Is it because it's broadcast live across the United States?
Lin Ri thought for a long time and found such a reason, otherwise he really couldn't find any other reason.

It can't be because I played well, right?
With a 7-point lead, the Suns fans had a great time at halftime, shaking their bodies to the live DJ's explosive music, and the Meixi Arena suddenly became a hot scene.

Playing and playing, the scene also played a kissing game.

It's just that when the middle shot showed a couple who were hugging each other, panic immediately appeared on the faces of the two guys. They let go of their hands and covered their faces with their coats.

Immediately there was laughter at the scene, and the DJ on the scene was not surprised, and cared with a teasing tone: "Oh~ buddy, this is not my original intention, I hope you will be safe when you go back tonight..."

Today is "National Live Broadcast"!

The atmosphere continued to rise during the kissing game, so that when the Suns and others returned to the scene, the audience cheered like a mountain and a tsunami.

amount……

It's only 7 points ahead, isn't it?
"the sun!"

"the sun!"

"the sun!"

The shouts finally turned into cheers for Lin Ri's reunification. It's not that they don't love Steve Nash anymore, but they like Lin Ri too much now!

Lin Ri waved his hand in response to the audience.

All the cameras of "National American Live" gave Lin Ri a close-up shot at this time.

At this moment, he is the focus of the entire NBA.

And his performance in the first half is also worthy of such camera treatment.

The team reporter of the Suns also expressed emotion through his Twitter at this time: "I originally thought that the Clippers and the Bucks would be snubbed and ignored at the American West Arena because they are underdogs and there are no stars in their teams. But now I understand that the reason why the Suns' home fans can't see players from other teams is because this team has the incredible guy the sun!"

Amidst the cheers, the second half officially started.

The Suns scored the first offense of the third quarter amid the cheers.

It can be seen from this goal that the state of all the members of the Suns has not diminished without a halftime break.

"Guys, let's respond to this shot!"

Tony Parker yelled, but after halftime the ball was still in Tim Duncan's hands.

After Tim Duncan got the ball, he first confirmed Jefferson's position, and then he caught Lin Ri's attention by holding the ball in singles, and then gave the ball to Jefferson, who was secretly sinking to the bottom.

Jefferson took the ball and went to the basket. A slightly elegant one-handed dunk helped the Spurs get back.

The core point of this goal is actually Jefferson.

Gentry was a little surprised to watch the Spurs score the goal.

In the first half, the Spurs didn't have a play specifically for Jefferson.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the second half came up, they first played a ball around Jefferson.

Greg, it's you!

Gentry glanced at Popovich, whoops, this guy is still not satisfied, as if he owes him a lot of money with a stern face!Is it really that strict?

Gentry didn't know that this attack was not Popovich's idea. Jefferson played so poorly in the first half, how could Popovich still want to focus on him in the second half?

That's why Popovich frowned.

This is probably Tim's idea again!

Popovich said something in his heart.

But his frown was not dissatisfaction with Tim Duncan.

Since Duncan entered the league, he has never been dissatisfied with this guy. Although he has scolded Tim Duncan many times, it is for scolding.

It is to kill the chicken to show the monkey.

It is to let those guys see that even a great Tim Duncan will listen to me, let alone you.

To be honest, the Spurs can be so disciplined, Tim Duncan took the lead in scolding at least half of the credit.

He frowned because he was thinking about whether the Spurs could really play an effective offense if Jefferson was the core.

Popovich is a man of flexibility.

This is also the reason for his success.

For example, he said that he hates shooting three-pointers, but it is an indisputable fact that the importance of three-pointers in the Spurs' tactical system has become greater.

Now, he watched Jefferson and Tim Duncan cooperate, and the Spurs easily completed the offense. He also immediately began to think about the feasibility of this style of play, and how to change the formation in the future.

"Shh!"

Facts have proved that Jefferson may not be a bad choice as an end point.

The guy made another layup on the next play.

Speaking of which, Jefferson averaged 19.6 points per game last season. At the age of 29, there is no such thing as a single season from a quasi-All-Star scorer to a guy who can't even play the main force.

In the final analysis, the change in tactical role made it difficult for him to adapt.

If the ball is really given to Jefferson, this guy still has the ability to finish.

These two rounds illustrate the problem.

However, Popovich traded him, and it is not a big problem not to let him play the core. A team with Tim Duncan and Tony Parker, let these two finals MVPs go without using Jefferson, that is a big problem.

Even if Jefferson is helping the Spurs break the game now, Popovich still thinks so.

Of course, Popovich has no objection to using it as a strange trick occasionally. No, Jefferson scored two goals in a row, and Popovich immediately began to change formations. The entire Spurs players also began to involve Jefferson.

Jefferson felt the offensive privilege of being a star for a long time.

This flattered him, and the unhappiness that Popovich scolded him at halftime disappeared at this moment.

Gentry realized later that he discovered the Spurs' intention to switch to the flanks and hold the ball for air cuts. At this time, the defensive formation of the entire Suns also quickly changed.

He began to use Chris Humphries more to single-handedly defend Tim Duncan, freeing Lin Ri to come out to defend other Suns players.

"Dangdang!"

The Spurs' offense began to falter again.

Gentry's evolution is clearly working.

"Gentry is not bad, this guy has been wronged as an assistant coach these years!" Bill Walton praised Gentry, this guy can not lose the wind in the contest with Popovich on the spot, this is something that few head coaches in the league can do, and it also surprised Bill Walton.

In fact, it's not about Gentry's high ability, but because he has a card in his hand, anyone can play it!
Otherwise, Pat Riley wouldn't say "Give me O'Neal and Jordan, and I can win so many rings!"

Of course, Pat Riley also proved in 06 that if he was given O'Neal, he could indeed lead the team to win the championship...

It is also true.

"Dangdang!"

No, can't let this guy play the terminal anymore.

Another offensive miss, Popovich said in his heart.

With Lin Ri helping the defense, it is already difficult for the Spurs to help Jefferson get involved in empty cuts.

As far as Jefferson's offensive methods are concerned, he is somewhat lacking. In other words, this is why he has no physical fitness but cannot go further from an All-Star player.

Popovich wanted to change his lineup, but before he signaled, Tim Duncan on the field suddenly strengthened his personal offense when he held the ball again. After perfectly deceiving Humphries with his footsteps, Tim Duncan dunked with one hand.

A typical Tim Duncan inside goal.

With this goal scored, "Stone Buddha" also officially took over the game, and then used a mid-range shot and a 45-degree angle to hit the board to help the team close the score to only 1 point at the end of the third quarter.

yes!

Seeing the score approaching, Tim Duncan secretly squeezed his fist when he got off the court.

His strategy was completely successful.

As for the strategy he used, it is actually very simple, that is, first use Jefferson as the core of the play to shift the defensive focus away from him, and then play the offensive tactics with himself as the core to catch the opponent off guard.

As for why the tactics centered on Jefferson are used to attract the opponent's defense...

Because the opponent will not have any defense against this guy, it can catch the opponent by surprise to the greatest extent, so as to ensure that this tactic can also be effective.

Maybe it can directly narrow the point difference.

Hmm... When the Jefferson-centered style of play was hindered, the Spurs did reduce the point difference to only 4 points, which shows that the effect is indeed coming.

Hum hum!
This is the tactical arrangement of psychologists!
Did you lose school?
Tim Duncan took a gulp of Gatorade first.

Although the score was as close as he thought, he was really tired.

To support Jefferson during that period of time, he needs to hold the ball to attract the attention of the defense every time. In addition, when he holds the ball for the main attack, his muscles collide with each other. The age of 33 is really too much.

But there is still one section left, just keep fighting like this, and you will definitely win!
I'm going to be stuck with this!
Tim Duncan glanced at the Suns bench. Lin Ri scored another 7 points in the third quarter. Now his total score has reached 20 points. After the fourth quarter, it is not a problem for him to score more than 25 points based on his state. The number of rebounds is now 9. When the game is over, 13 rebounds should be guaranteed.

25 points plus 13 rebounds.

It was another oversized double-double.

It's just that no matter how good the statistics are after losing the game, this guy will always feel aggrieved!
Huh~
Tim Duncan couldn't help laughing at the thought of being able to say "the future is yours" again.

After laughing, he quickly looked towards the referee on the sidelines. Fortunately, there is no Crawford tonight.

"OK, listen, guys, the fourth quarter is coming up, put all the defensive focus on the sun and Steve Nash, remember, no matter how others score, don't worry about it, just kill these two points!"

Tim Duncan made the Spurs' offensive flow smooth again, and Popovich also rearranged the defensive end before the start of the fourth quarter.

He intends to strangle the two points of the Suns the sun and Steve Nash.

The lineup of the Suns this year has changed a lot from that in 08. Now the Suns' [-]nd, [-]rd, and [-]th positions on the field have no autonomy on the offensive end. As long as he cuts off the sun and Steve Nash, the Suns' offense will inevitably be chaotic.

The goddess of victory seems to really favor the Spurs.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, they scored a goal smoothly and completed the lead in the score.

At the moment when the score was overtaken, the American West Arena no longer had the happiness during the halftime break, and everyone's face sank, and then the unhappiness of being eliminated by the Spurs in the past also appeared in their minds again.

This time, they feel, history will repeat itself.

The Suns will fall at the feet of the Spurs again.

This damn "horse phobia"!

The Suns fans in the auditorium stopped talking, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached a freezing point.

Good spirits, bad spirits.

While they thought that the Suns would be defeated by the Spurs again, the Suns also began to retreat on the court.

As Popovich expected, without Steve Nash and Lin Ri's organized offense, the other three Suns really couldn't play a smooth offense.

"Shh!"

Even if there is a shot.

"Dangdang!"

"Dangdang!"

That was also exchanged for two or three iron strikes.

The Spurs gradually widened the point difference to more than 5 points.

Finished!

Suns fans are even more desperate!
Gentry was sullen and didn't know what to do. He tried to rescue Lin Ri and Steve Nash by changing formations, but the opponent was determined not to give Lin Ri and Steve Nash a chance to hold the ball.

He was very resolute just now, and now with this trick to open up the point difference, let alone the Spurs, double-team unconditionally.

damn it!
Lin Ri looked at the two Spurs players who might double-team him anytime and anywhere.

I cursed secretly in my heart.

He really wanted to make a little contribution, but at this moment, being double-teamed, he was really powerless.

what can I do?
what should I do!
My advantage is...

Lin Ri became more and more anxious, and the more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became.

"Shh!"

The Spurs hit another goal at this time, and the point difference came to 7 points.

The game time fell below 6 minutes.

damn it!
damn it!
damn it!
"Grass!"

Feeling powerless is really uncomfortable, and Lin Ri, who was getting more and more anxious, suddenly cursed.

Tim Duncan: ? ? ?
Chris Humphries: ? ? ?

Gentry: ? ? ?

Everyone who heard Lin Ri's sudden "grass" sound turned to look at Lin Ri.

Sick?
They didn't know what happened to Lin Ri suddenly.

"They're double-teaming me, aren't they?"

"Row!"

"Come!"

"Continue to double-team me, whoever doesn't double-team is the grandson!"

After a "grass", Lin Ri began to curse, and now even the audience on the sidelines heard Lin Ri's scolding, and they looked at each other in blank dismay.

They remembered a news about Lin Ri a few months ago...

Is this guy transformed?

"Extraordinary, don't you dare to shoot with such a big open space? Hurry up and shoot, what are you afraid of? There are rebounds!"

"Damn it, Chris, hold me tight!"

"Vote, special code!"

Uh, it looks like it's really transformed!
The audience, who were a little skeptical at first, settled down after hearing Lin Ri's continuous scolding.

"Dangdang!"

It's just that Lin Ri's scolding can't save the Suns' cold touch on the outside because of their declining state.

However, as long as they voted, it would be considered as what Lin Ri wished for!

Lin Ri was cursing, and the thoughts that had been in his mind were finally straightened out by him.

He also now knows exactly what is his advantage!

That's his fitness and fitness -- Tim Duncan, 33, and Antonio, 35, fought them hand-to-hand for the entire game.

Looking at their panting appearance, it can also be seen that their physical fitness has begun to run out.

At this time, let your teammates shoot, and they just grab the rebound!
But Tim Duncan cooperated so well with Antonio's rebounding at the basket, he really couldn't handle it alone, so he cursed at Humphries to stimulate his fighting spirit.

Humphries: ? ? ?
Is this what people say?

Antonio, as usual, tried his best to resist Lin Ri, delaying his take-off time, and helping Tim Duncan to defend the rebound.

"Snapped!"

But this time, until he couldn't stand it anymore, Lin Ri jumped up to get the ball, but Tim Duncan couldn't jump up. Humphries was scolded by Lin Ri a few times, and this time he was really ruthless. He tried his best to resist Tim Duncan to prevent him from jumping.

"Bah!"

Lin Ri, who held the rebound, was not polite at all, and directly dunked with both hands to complete the goal.

"Damn it, you guys are coming to double-team me again!"

"I see how you can double-team like this!"

"Good job, you damn guy, this is war, give me your all!"

Humphries stuck Tim Duncan with his life this time, and Lin Ri excitedly slapped him on the back when he returned to the defense.

"Keep going, fuck them!"

"Okay, hiss..."

After being hit by the slap, Humphries grinned, but he still responded to Lin Ri. He dared not not respond. If he didn't respond, and this guy gave him another slap, he couldn't bear it.

Don't say it's impossible.

In this state, Humphries felt that Lin Ri dared to beat the black bear.

Lin Ri:? ? ?Am I stupid or are you stupid, I am full to compete with the black bear?

For the first time in the past few minutes, the Suns finished the offense cleanly.

"Listen, don't be afraid. Vote. If I'm here, you'll win. These guys are so afraid of double-teaming me at any time. What are you afraid of such a guy!"

The second offensive score in the last round proved Lin Ri's own guess was correct. He continued to curse and let his teammates shoot.

Not to mention, the outside line is much more daring to shoot than just now.

"Dangdang!"

Just dare to vote and dare to vote, this feeling will really not come back for a while.

This ball is iron again.

Antonio just saw that Tim Duncan was struggling to get rid of Humphries, and this time he also became ruthless against Lin Ri, but he became ruthless again, the age of 35 is here, and he will lose his strength first.

Besides, Lin Ri is also getting ruthless!

"Snapped!"

Lin Ri grabbed the offensive rebound again.

"Bah!"

Then, under the watchful eye of Tim Duncan who arrived slowly, he dunked the ball into the basket.

Scored again!

Lin Ri scored another goal.

still have a chance!

There is still hope!

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

"Defense!"

The auditorium, whose atmosphere had dropped to zero, regained its vitality after Lin Ri scored consecutive goals. When the Suns retreated, they also began to shout "defense" loudly.

Ball to Tim!

Watching the Suns show signs of resurgence.

Popovich motioned to Tony Parker, gave the ball to Duncan, let him give the fatal blow!
Tony Parker did.

Tim Duncan didn't hesitate at all, and came out to catch the ball.

He has the responsibility to help the team give a fatal blow!

Because he is the "Stone Buddha" Duncan of the Spurs.

It's just that when he was leaning against Humphries with the ball and preparing to play singles with the ball, Lin Ri suddenly double-teamed him. His attention was on Humphries, and what he was thinking about was how to deceive Humphries away.

His reaction was half a beat slow, and when he reacted and was about to throw the ball, Lin Ri had already come to his side, jumped high, and directly grabbed the ball from his hand.

"Admit it!"

"Tim Duncan gets tired too!"

Lin Ri noticed that Tim Duncan's footsteps were significantly slower when he singled Humphries, which meant that he was tired, and his concentration would decrease when he was tired, which is why he dared to rush forward to double-team!
After throwing down a trash talk, Lin Ri directly launched a counterattack.

Looking at Lin Ri's back, Tim Duncan whispered a bit bitterly: It's good to be young.

Tony Parker stepped on the accelerator and caught up.

Hmm... Lin Ri, who is dribbling, is still easy to chase.

But Tony Parker caught up, and someone from the Suns had already run ahead.

"Slam Dunk King" Richardson took the lead and ran to the front. When Lin Ri was entangled, he also saw this guy and sent the ball to him.

"Bah!"

The Suns played fast break.

After this attack, the entire auditorium was completely alive.

At the same time, the Suns are also on the court.

After this fast break succeeded, the Suns also regained their confidence on the perimeter, and with confidence, they have a feel.

"Shh!"

A three-pointer tied the score.

"Shh!"

Another three-pointer, the Suns overtook the score.

"Damn it, it should have been cast like this a long time ago!"

"Trevor, you know what? I want to kick your ass! If you don't score!"

"Guys, haven't we already brought the damn score back? It's that simple!"

Then, amid Lin Day's swearing and roaring, the Suns beat the Spurs 108-102 to win the "National Live" final victory.
