"Giant Slayer:

Task keywords: stable.

The task objective is determined based on the match between the host and the Spurs, Tim Duncan's team, this season.

Goal 1: The three main data of the host in this game need to be higher than the average data of the previous two games against the Spurs. (19.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game)

Goal 2: The hosts need to keep Tony Parker below the average of his previous two games against the Spurs. (13.5 points per game)

Reward: 5000 healing value, and open follow-up tasks related to Tim Duncan.

Failure Punishment: The next time you trigger the quest target Tim Duncan, the quest difficulty will increase by one level. "

Liu Xiu was not at all surprised that this task was triggered.

If Duncan is not qualified enough, then this task can be called the "big shark killer". The current player, the three-time FMVP Dynasty Shark, has more honor than Duncan.

Liu Xiu exited the task list and looked at the player detection report on the opposite side.

"Tim Duncan, 28 years old, 211 cm, 115 kg, C/PF, ability rating 98, offense 95, defense 98... averaged 33 minutes per game, averaged 21 points, 11.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.7 blocks per game... ..."

Well, compared to the match at the beginning of the season, the ability evaluation has gone up a bit!
The playing time in the last ten games has decreased, but the statistics have not changed much... because the shooting rate has increased a little, and the defensive efficiency has improved slightly.

After looking at the other two carriages, Parker has an ability rating of 83, and Ginobili has an ability rating of 84. The improvement is not as great as Duncan!It's just... amazing!

While the little sports car is still in the growth stage, don't give it another shot.

On the other side of the bench, Parker, who was taking a deep breath to relieve the pressure, shuddered, and he felt a deep malice.

Following the line of sight, it was indeed that contemporary demon!

...

"The great magician:
game status.

Copy objects:

Teammate: Gary Payton, characteristic conversion talent: blocking type…

Opponent: Manu Ginobili, characteristic transformation talent: Snake Step, bonus effect: when the host uses the Eurostep to end the attack, each step can always be started in the best state; if the host uses the Eurostep to end the attack with The dunk ends the attack, the bounce +3 and the bounce speed +3 when attacking the basket. "

The Spurs have a lot of objects that he wants to try to copy, such as stone Buddha, sports car, footsteps, white trapeze... Horry, who is known as the luckiest role player, also wants to try to copy, but in order to maximize the probability of winning, of course Choose the safest demon sword, and after the match rate reaches 60%, the talent copied from the demon sword is suitable and strong.

There is such a distress in playing against a strong team. There are many people who are interested in the opponent and want to try to copy, but the opponent is very strong and cannot mess around.

You can play against the Hornets, Bobcats, and Eagles at will, but unfortunately they don't have many good players.

After Liu Xiu replicated his talents, he came to the court, and the other starters of the two teams came to the court one after another.

Liu Xiu's last sliver of expectation fell through. Popovich didn't do anything wrong at the last moment. The Spurs sent Parker, Ginobili, Bowen, Duncan, and Muhammad to the starting lineup.

The Trail Blazers are still the starting combination of Payton, Liu Xiu, Raheem, Randolph and Kwame Brown.

Duncan came to the center circle, rubbed his hands and waited for the jump ball. Looking at the energetic Kwame Brown on the opposite side, Duncan's eyes were full of his former self. His physical fitness was no worse than that of Kwame Brown, who was also the No. [-] pick.

But now... just thinking about it makes me cry.

Fortunately, with the improvement of the plantar fasciitis injury, he no longer feels pain when he moves and jumps. The bullet speed and explosive acceleration will not come back, but the bounce height and comprehensive movement speed have returned to normal. Static strength There are also improvements.

In his opinion, his current physical fitness is very similar to that of a center forward... no, he is the power forward version of the warden, and he needs more brains to play. He is still very confident in this aspect. After all, he and the warden are the only ones in the game. There are two outstanding master students.

Tonight, Duncan didn’t intend to go to the opposite side to say hello to the warden. The fans at the scene were very hostile to the Trail Blazers and the warden. An atmosphere like that of the Rose Garden Arena would be nice... The most important thing is face.

He lost to King Silver Horn in front of the warden!

Moreover, the night before yesterday, the American Airlines Center was also booing the warden wildly. The silver horn king dared to talk to the warden before the game without any shyness, because the silver horn king won the day before.

As for Shi Buddha, he lost once and avoided the battle once. He has to win tonight, and only by winning can he earn back face.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the referee blew the whistle to start the game. Under the strong push of the league, the Trail Blazers' away game against the Spurs, with good ratings and a high degree of attention, began.

The referee threw the ball in the air, and a more focused, jump-ball-experienced Duncan beat Kwame Brown to win the jump ball.

Kwame Brown patted his thigh while running back long-distance, yelled twice, and then shouted carelessly.

Although Duncan's bullet speed is not fast, his bounce height is still at the first-class level. With a wingspan of 230 cm, Kwame Brown underestimates the enemy!
Kwame Brown, who returned to the backcourt, was very angry. This ancient champion is deceiving!Did you say you can't run or jump?
Duncan looked at Kwame Brown's demeanor and movements... After the parallel import champion is not so good, it seems to be gradually changing?
Parker received the ball and advanced, and the Spurs took the lead.

Liu Xiu stayed at the top arc and focused on defense.

Ginobili saw that Parker passed the middle circle and started to accelerate. He raised from near the baseline to a high position on the right side close to the sideline.

As Ginobili expected, Parker pulled up the fastest speed when he was close to the three-point line, faced Liu Xiu's defense, and broke through to the front right!

Facing Parker's lightning-like breakthrough, Liu Xiu tried his best to move laterally to the left, barely keeping up with Parker's footsteps.

However, Parker's breakthrough was not just the straight-line sprint speed of the top three in the league. When he was about to make physical contact with Liu Xiu, Parker, who was sprinting at super high speed, suddenly stopped and changed direction, and broke through to the front left!
But Liu Xiu braked and changed direction almost at the same time as Parker. When Parker rushed forward to the left, Liu Xiu, who started to the right with full strength, narrowly stuck to Parker!
Feeling this unbearable confrontation, Parker had only one thought in his mind—impossible!

Parker didn't believe and was unwilling to accept this fact, but his body was still very honest, and he was already mentally prepared. After being caught by Liu Xiu, he threw the ball to the right of the top arc.

Ginobili, who had discussed earlier, moved to the right side of the top arc to receive the ball at the right time, and Payton followed closely without losing his position.

Ginobili breaks through with a fake move, the fake is so realistic, even Payton was tricked, and Ginobili swayed out of the breakthrough space, but the Blazers' wings and basket defense started to move... Bai moved, Gino After Billy shook Payton away, he stopped his foot, pulled it up, and shot a three-pointer... It's iron!
Liu Xiu, who was blocked by the flank, protected the defensive rebound and passed it to Payton.

Payton catches the ball and pushes forward, glances at Ginobili, no matter how many times he plays against this guy, it feels incredible every time he plays against this guy.

It seems that there is no basket this guy dare not shoot!And the timing and choice of shots are often very surprising, just like... the No. 8 player he used to partner with!
What makes Payton feel incredible is that there is actually another super center who can get used to this style of play and accept this style of play!
Last season, when Payton played against the Spurs, Duncan was still very uncomfortable with the style of play of Ginobili, who became the main force after the second grade.

Recalling a trade offer made before O'Neal was traded last summer, the Spurs used Parker + Ginobili + Bowen + multiple draft picks to apply to the Lakers to trade Kobe.

If it really happens, 26-year-old Kobe + 28-year-old Duncan, Payton's scalp tingles just thinking about it.

After the offensive and defensive transition, Payton advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing Randolph stretching to the right baseline for a mid-range shot and rushing to grab the position, he re-passed the ball to Liu Xiu.

Butcher heart bitter!
In the Southwest Division newly divided by the league, when he saw these teams last summer, he didn't know how to describe the 'I am here' in his heart.

He felt the league created a division specifically for him.

Yao Ming, Duncan + a certain inside partner, Gasol + a certain inside partner, these three inside combinations are extremely restrained by him.

At that time, the Hornets hadn't forced a bad performance, and Magloire, a center on the edge of the All-Star, was still there, and the twin towers formed with PJ-Brown, he didn't have a temper when he encountered it.

You can also bully the inside group composed of the slow Nowitzki, Dampier, and the thin Ratliff, and they just explode each other.

Randolph is more eager to become stronger...

For Liu Xiu, he focused on protecting the ball. Before entering the NBA, his impression of Bowen was only a stepping stone, but after he played against Bowen, he realized that this guy is really good at defense. Can prevent the little emperor to collapse in the finals.

At the age of 36 years and 11 months, he was selected into the first defense, surpassed Chamberlain, became the oldest first defense player in NBA history, tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the oldest All-Defensive Team player in NBA history, and the oldest best player. The honor of defensive lineup player was not broken by the 2013-year-old Duncan until 37.

Bowen's defense was dirty, with a lot of petty moves. Liu Xiu just dribbled the ball in the top arc and waited for his teammates to get in position, but he was taken care of by Bowen's evil hands and wanted to give him an elbow.

Bowen's defensive intentions are half-baked when an offensive player has that emotion.

Even knowing that this is Bowen's defensive purpose, but the offensive player still can't control the idea of ​​wanting to blow up Bowen. He is 201 centimeters but only weighs 91 kilograms, and his defensive method is not strong, which makes people unstoppable Want to hammer him.

Then, Bowen can put his league's top single-defense and top-level ability to cooperate with the team into actual combat.

This is Bowen's defensive purpose, and it is also a very important part of his defense.

However, Bo Wen also had times when he was helpless—the man in front of him was never provoked!

The other young players, who didn't meet him, were so irritated by him that they wanted to beat him one-on-one.

But Liu Xiu wasn't. From the first fight, this master was very different.

No, here it is again!

Liu Xiu moved sideways, and when Bo Wen followed Liu Xiu, he was blocked by Kwame Brown who was pulled out!
But this time, it wasn't Duncan who followed Kwame Brown to defend!
Duncan's ability to defend against pick-and-rolls is naturally not bad. If his single defense is 99 points, he should have 85 points in pick-and-roll defense, which is a first-class start.

Duncan isn't top-notch defensively in some ways, but he has few weaknesses.

However, after David Robinson retired, if Duncan expanded to defend the pick-and-roll, it meant that the frame protection had to be handed over to a pure meat shield center. After Duncan was transferred out, the center was often hammered.

Don't worry now, when Kwame Brown came out, Duncan and Muhammad, who were guarding the basket, switched defenses. Defense around the basket.

“纳兹尔-穆罕穆德，27岁，208公分，113公斤，C/PF，能力评价77，进攻67，防守83……2004-2005赛季尼克斯队阶段，场均11分8.1板0.5助攻1抢断1盖帽；马刺队阶段场均6.2分6.4板0.3助攻1抢断1.4盖帽……”

Muhammad's defense is not top-notch, but he wins comprehensively. He can switch defenses with Duncan infinitely. He is active and smart in defense, has high obedience, and is good at cooperating with his teammates.

Bowen and Muhammad launched a defensive cooperation. After the Spurs had Muhammad, Popovich made adjustments on the defensive end. Playing the pick-and-roll off the screen.

However, Liu Xiu's pick-and-roll skills, offensive options after the pick-and-roll, and execution ability... are all better than Bowen and Muhammad expected!

Liu Xiu used the pick-and-roll to face Muhammad, and took the initiative to bully him. Muhammad took half a step back. Liu Xiu seized the opportunity to shoot the ball forward, and the direction the ball flew... Muhammad De's crotch!

Liu Xiu leaned forward while shooting the ball, as if he was about to fall, and used his inertia to accelerate his sprint. After confronting Muhammad for a while, he passed Muhammad and got ahead of Muhammad who turned around. Catch the ball through Muhammad's crotch!

Crotch piercing!

But Muhammad's defense is really good. After being passed by, he didn't feel upset and discouraged. He followed Liu Xiu at the first time and couldn't stop Liu Xiu from rushing into the inside. Chance.

No, hard work is useful. The super-fast Parker received the right side of the three-second zone and actively helped Muhammad block Liu Xiu.

When Liu Xiu broke through, Randolph moved actively without the ball, slid to the bottom line, and circled to the high position on the left side of the three-second zone. Receive, while making sure to cut off Liu Xiu's route to the left of the three-second zone, while preparing to protect the frame, even if Liu Xiu easily smashes Parker's attack frame, Duncan is confident to complete the interference...

but!

Liu Xiu didn't stop for a jump shot and didn't get into the basket. He made a quick stop and turned around to lean on Parker who was retracting to block the defense. He grabbed the ball and turned to the baseline following the inertia. Parker, who was flustered to defend, turned around and hit a jumper from close range from the bottom line!
