NBA Big Devil: I rule the league with defense

"I really don't look down on the Spurs. Without Tim Duncan, who else can Yao Ming use?"

Popovich glanced at Tony Musenberg, who was sitting nearby.

Tony Masenberg tilted his head on purpose, and thought to himself: "I'm in the last year of my career, I don't want anything, I just want to be safe..."

Popovich shook his head, thinking: "Hey, people's hearts are scattered, it's hard to lead the team!"

At this time, Sean Marcos suddenly took the initiative to challenge: "Coach, fuck me!"

Popovich looked at this ugly big man!

Sean Marcos, 2 meters tall, 08 kilograms in weight, 115 years old, is the year of the inside player!

But before Tim Duncan was injured, he had never entered the Spurs' playoff rotation!

Yes, even if you use the old-fashioned 38-year-old Tony Masenberg who is waiting for retirement, Popovich is not willing to use this naive big man with a bit of shrewdness!

The reason is very simple. Although this big man from New Zealand is the absolute core of the New Zealand national team, in the NBA, neither offense nor defense can catch Popovich's eyes!

You can't say that Sean Marcos has nothing in offense and defense. He performed very well in the national team. Although he has no long-range shooting ability, his footsteps at the basket are also very delicate.

But this is the NBA arena. As Duncan's substitute, Sean Marcos's footsteps can't keep up with the inside of the NBA. Minutes of playing time, among the substitutes surrounded by wolves, how can any kind-hearted person feed you a New Zealander?

Today, in order to keep his job, Sean Marcos thinks this is a good opportunity!

It's an opportunity you should seize!

As a marginal person at the bottom of the NBA, how many times can this kind of opportunity come in a lifetime?

Even if he played and performed badly, that was much better than sitting on the bench until he died!

Popovich nodded and waited for the timeout to replace Sean Marcos. Popovich thought very simple:

"Even if it doesn't work, it won't be worse. No matter how bad it is, this big white man still has fat all over his body!"

Sean Marcos, a guy who averaged only 2.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game in his career, is actually not unknown!

The real peak of his career was not when he was a player, but after he retired!

After this guy retired, he successively found an assistant in the basketball operations department in the Spurs, the general manager of the Development League team, and then became an assistant coach of the Spurs.In 2016, his career reached a new level, and he came to the Nets and became the general manager of the team!Sean Marcos, who was ordered in danger, spent three years recruiting Durant, Harden, and Irving to form the Big Three. Although they did not achieve any commendable results, they were still recognized by insiders in the NBA. Even in the summer of 2022, when Durant threatened to leave the team, the boss chose to keep Sean Marcos instead of making Marcos a scapegoat for the team!

It can be seen that Sean Marcos' methods are extraordinary!

Of course, on the basketball court, no matter how good your brain is, your body must be able to keep up!

Today's Yao Ming is doing his best!

In his rookie season two years ago, Yao Ming was brutally abused by Duncan in the finals, which was acceptable, but after two years, facing Duncan, although his performance was much better than that of the first grade, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Yao Ming was still beaten everywhere. suppress!

Even though no one would blame Yao Ming for this, Yao Ming was still angry with himself!

If he is a little bit stronger, the team will not lose again and again because of the lack of core!

Therefore, the appearance of Sean Marcos is just a footnote to Yao Ming's big kill today!

In the first round, Sean Marcos, who played Yao Ming as the main player, liked to mention a foul!

Yao Ming went to the free throw line and made both free throws!

In the second round, Sean Marcos made two fouls, and Yao Ming got two free throws again!

One of two free throws!

Seeing this made Popovich's scalp tingle: "I said it well off the court, so the only way to go up is to foul? Well, no matter what, there are at least six fouls that can be consumed!"

"Yao Ming can only treat him like Shaquille O'Neal today!"

"The only difference is that this 'O'Neal' shoots 88% of his free throws! The 76ers are the best!!!"

Of course, Sean Marcos's playing is not without bright spots. Don't look at him who has been at the end of the rotation. The regular season is not garbage time, basically he can't play, and he can't even enter the rotation in the playoffs!But he still has a hand in this foul!

Unlike when Nesterovic and Nazr Mohammad defended Yao Ming, they still mainly ran to defend the ball thrown by Yao Ming.

Sean Marcos knew that it was impossible to prevent Yao Ming with conventional means, so he didn't say much, just ran for Yao Ming!

But the action wasn't bad, it just blocked Yao Ming's offense with a foul in the middle of the move.

"Don't try to see if you can make the shot, just stay on the free throw line for me! Isn't it possible to miss 88% of the free throws?"

"No matter how bad it is, it's better than directly scoring two points, or even more excessively scoring 2+1?"

In the first quarter of the game, Yao Ming scored 15 points alone, the highest in the game, setting a new high in a single quarter of the playoffs!

Just like an insider big devil!

25: 30!

The Philadelphia 76ers temporarily lead by five points at the end of the first quarter!

"Only leading by five points? I thought we were already leading by more than ten points!"

"Didn't Dayao kill the insiders of the Spurs today? That's not enough?"

"Manu Ginobili exploded again this time, with 11 points and 5 assists in a single quarter, revitalizing the whole team!"

"Impossible, with Han Mo here, Ginobili took the headshot?"

"Where's Han Mo? Isn't our Han Mo back?"

"Han Moren is back, but his condition...is not optimistic!"

"How is it?" Larry Brown looked at Han Mo, who had just come back and played the entire game, and felt distressed: "Otherwise, in the second quarter, you should rest for a while?"

Han Mo gulped down the energy drink, and shook his head: "You better let Yao Ming rest, you can see that he is scratched, with bruises and purple spots, even though Duncan is not here today, but these inside brats of the Spurs It's important to deal with my son!"

"As for me!" Han Mo stretched his muscles, "The fun has just begun!"
