I just want to lie down and win

Chapter 102 Singles against Duncan! (4000, please subscribe)

The Pistons tasted a small defeat and returned to Detroit. Before they came out of the haze of defeat, the San Antonio Spurs, the third in the Western Conference, rushed to the game.

Recently, the Spurs' three-game streak in the East, that is, the Pacers for the first time, suffered setbacks.

It was also a breeze to play against the Celtics yesterday, winning in two or three strokes.

Fortunately, the schedule is not good for the Spurs, and back-to-back away games are the most difficult to play.

The Pistons also lost back-to-back away games to the Bucks before, and now they are facing the Spurs in poor form, which is really an advantage.

However, it is one thing to take advantage of it, and another to be able to win.

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs sent center Rasu Nesterovic to jump the ball with Huo Song.

Rasu was about the same height as Huo Song, but his wingspan was shorter than Huo Song's, let alone a white tank center who couldn't move very much.

Huo Song helped the Pistons jump to the ball effortlessly.

However, just as the Pistons were about to attack, Tony Parker was accidentally fouled by Billups.

The Pistons served from the sideline of the front court. Although the Spurs were well positioned, the Pistons relied on Prince's sideline to serve to the basket. Huo Song accelerated to the basket after receiving the ball.

Lasu's speed was not at the same level as Huo Song's, and he was quickly passed by Huo Song in one step.

Although Duncan does not have the affirmation of DPOY, after entering the NBA, he has been a defensive player almost every year.

Seeing that Lasu couldn't defend against Huo Song, Duncan immediately made up for it.

Huo Song has sharp eyes and quick hands, making an emergency stop and jump shot with a high arc.

Duncan jumped, but he didn't jump too hard. Huo Song knew this clearly, so the ball was not disturbed at all, and flew over Duncan's block to the basket.

Perhaps Huo Song's shot was a bit hasty, and the ball bounced on the basket, but fortunately it still fell into the net in the end.

"Huo Song helped the Pistons win 2 points with his first shot! This is a goal scored by the great Tim Duncan. Huo Song performed very well!"

Duncan was born as the No. [-] pick, and was badly beaten by major teams before entering the league.

After failing to get Duncan, the Cardinal bid farewell to the NBA in a fit of anger.

Now young Duncan has won two championships.

It doesn't matter if one of them got it in a shortened season.

In any case, Duncan is a great existence second only to O'Neal in recent years.

O'Neal created the Lakers dynasty to rule the alliance with three consecutive championships, but Duncan surrounded the Lakers dynasty one after the other.

Duncan's legendary attributes needless to say, and Huo Song was able to score two points on Duncan's head, which really made the Detroit fans happy.

Looking back, the Spurs launched an offense, first passing the ball from the outside to see who had a good chance to attack.

The biggest advantage of team basketball is that the rotation players can play the ball. The active performance of the rotation players drives the defense of the whole team. Occasionally the rotation players seize the opportunity, and the offensive performance will also bring great help to the team.

But the problem is, if the ball is not handed over to the star, how can we be sure that the ball is more likely to hit?

When the Pistons were in a strong dialogue, they just handed the ball to Huo Song to play, and the two points of the first attack have been firmly won.

The Spurs played team basketball, and the first down shot was in the hands of Bruce Bowen.

Bowen is known for his defense, but the offensive end has not reached the level of the league's average starter.

Bowen tried a three-pointer and was interfered by Prince's long arm.

The goal was missed, and Bowen turned around and complained to the referee, signaling that Prince was a thug.

In fact, it is impossible to beat hands.

Bowen is just to put pressure on the referee. When the referee is dazzled, or when there is a problem with the judgment, or when he is uncertain, the judgment will be biased towards him and the Spurs.

However, at this moment, Big Ben grabbed the defensive rebound.

Prince just turned around and rushed to the basket, then quickly turned around and rushed to the frontcourt.

Bowen didn't pay attention and didn't follow Prince back to the backcourt.

Pistons frontcourt is both Hamilton and Billups in place.

Big Ben made a long pass from the quarterback and quickly passed the ball upfield.

Big Ben actually played football in high school. Although he is better at the positions of defensive front and winger, it doesn't mean he can't pass the ball like a quarterback.

The ball arrives, Hamilton catches the ball and prepares for a layup.

Hedo Turkoglu burst out, Hamilton quickly adjusted and passed the ball to Billups behind him.

When Parker was back on defense, Billups passed the ball behind him, and Prince caught the ball and rushed to the basket with a tomahawk dunk, blowing up the audience.

The Pistons' one after another cooperation is too smooth, too united, and too gorgeous.

It's hard not to be moved by Detroit fans at the scene.

The Spurs scored two goals in a row, and the back-to-back sleepwalking state seemed to be sober.

In the second offense, the Spurs finally recovered two points after the breakthrough by Turkish agent Turkoglu.

But in the next round, Billups and Huo Song picked and rolled on the sideline, and Huo Song went directly to the penalty area to challenge Duncan.

Duncan stood still in advance, Huo Song slammed into Duncan after receiving the ball, Duncan took half a step back, Huo Song took off after fighting, the referee didn't blow anything, Huo Song continued to hit the layup, and the ball scored.

With Duncan's body, O'Neill can move, let alone Huo Song.

This time when Huo Song beat Duncan, he also pushed Duncan away by accelerating his charge.

If the referee had whistled more strictly, Huo Song would have even committed an offensive foul.

If Duncan is not calm enough and jumps in a hurry, it will be another matter. Duncan was fouled by Huo Song, and Huo Song scored and could still score 2+1.

Therefore, Huo Song's layup was a bit of a fluke.

Duncan's defense is too solid, it looks mediocre, but in fact it has a lot to say.

Fortunately, Duncan is still a big boy who loves to laugh and be funny. Perhaps because he often laughs too weirdly, it makes the league referees uneasy, so he doesn't like Duncan.

Duncan is often the loser when calling the shots.

Of course, it may also be because the Spurs play too dirty and pay too much attention to defense.

The regular season also depends on the ratings, and it is true that the league officials punish strong defensive teams.

The point difference came to 2 to 6, and Popovich off the court was calm and did not call a timeout.

Parker was not in a hurry to sort out the offense, but continued to share the ball with other teammates.

The entire Spurs looked nonchalant, and the ball soon fell into Bowen's hands again.

Bowen and Turkoglu shot after the pick-and-roll, but the ball still failed to make the shot.

At the critical moment, Duncan grabbed an offensive rebound, but Duncan just took off and shot, but was blocked by Big Ben.

Daben's blocking is something. Usually, against a group of rotten sweet potatoes and rotten eggs, he only blocks one or two shots a game, which is rare.

But against an All-Star insider, or even a superstar insider, that's one hit.

This is how Daben averaged more than 3 blocks per game.

It is precisely because of such explosive blocks that Ben was able to become the All-Star starting center in the Eastern Conference as a blue-collar insider.

Of course, this season has turned into an All-Star forward.

Having said that, Big Ben flew the racket out of bounds, and the Spurs returned to the bottom line to serve.

There is not much time left in the attack, and the situation is still in a hurry.

At this time, Duncan settled on the other side of the serve, competing with Big Ben to get stuck.

When Turkoglu on the wing received the serve, he quickly passed the ball to Duncan, but the ball was intercepted by Prince while it was still in the air.

Defensive counterattack, and defensive counterattack again.

The Pistons played 2 in the frontcourt, and they still scored the ball by switching shots.

Billups also scored 2 points, and now only Hamilton and Big Ben didn't score points in the starting lineup.

It was the Spurs' turn to attack again, and Parker decided to make a shot himself.

A sports car in adversity is a Buddha in adversity, and a demon sword in a desperate situation slashes demons.

Now that the Spurs are in adversity, handing the ball to Duncan is what a point guard should do.

But Parker, instead of using the breakthrough he is good at, running inside to create opportunities for Duncan, instead tried outside.

After shooting the ball, he also showed a "looks like I don't feel good today" expression.

After Parker hit the iron, there were not many other Spurs players rushing for rebounds.

Basically, Duncan and Lasu compete with Big Ben and Huo Song at the basket.

Huo Song grabbed the defensive rebound, then passed the ball to the outside line, and followed the team to the frontcourt.

Before facing the Spurs, Huo Song really couldn't imagine that the Spurs played like this.

Is it all because of back to back, so that they have no status?Not really?
Any style of play is flawed. Team basketball allows more people to try their hands, and it is doomed to have the risk of digging holes in the early stage.

Now that the Pistons have the upper hand, it is natural to continue to maintain it, hold steady, and continue to suppress the Spurs severely.

Another sideline pick-and-roll, Huo Song cut to the basket immediately after finishing the screen.

Duncan let Lasu sit under the basket to block Da Ben, and let him deal with Huo Song himself.

After Huo Song received the ball, he didn't continue to confront Duncan physically. The last time he played against him, Huo Song knew it was a bit of a fluke. Let's try a more secure attacking method this time!

Half a step inside the free throw line, Huo Song made a small toss shot.

Can Duncan dance?Jumping is possible, but it depends on Duncan's attitude.

It's just the regular season. It's impossible for Duncan to try his best to jump like he did in the playoffs and finals.

Usually, Duncan just wants to stand on tiptoe, a dozen or twenty centimeters off the ground, and simply jump.

More is to rely on the long arm to interfere with the opponent.

It's a pity that Huo Song jumps high when he throws, and the release point is also high, and the arc of the ball is higher.

Duncan's invincible long arms of 2 meters did not interfere with Huo Song.

"brush--"

The basketball went into the net, and Huo Song ignored Duncan's defense again and scored the ball.

The offense and defense between stars, especially in one-on-one situations, is very resonant to fans.

The Detroit fans brought Huo Song into him, scoring goals one after another in front of a two-time champion like Duncan, the number one power forward in history, not to mention how exciting it is.

"Did you score again? You're pretty good." Watching Huo Song score with a throw and hearing the cheers from the audience, Duncan was not angry, but smiled strangely at Huo Song.

Next, Huo Song finally saw Duncan's power.

Duncan's condition is not very good, but he can use the simplest defense, hold high and hit head-on to penetrate the defense of the best defensive player, Ben.

In 4 consecutive rounds, Duncan scored 2 goals.

Looking at the shooting rate is not particularly high, but you must know that defending Duncan is a big deal.

"Let me try it, I want to challenge him!" Daben's size and height were indeed at a disadvantage, so Huo Song volunteered.

Big Ben hesitated, but nodded anyway.

But after Duncan scored a few goals, he soon lost the ball.

The Spurs sent Manu Ginobili as a substitute, and then Ginobili made various breakthroughs as soon as he came up, constantly attacking the basket.

Although Ginobili was selected by the Spurs a few years ago, he just entered the league until last year.

When the Spurs won the championship last year, Ginobili's performance was average.

Although the Pistons paid attention to the Spurs, they didn't pay much attention to Ginobili.

Now Ginobili is constantly shopping in the Pistons penalty area with a snake-shaped breakthrough, which caused Prince and Big Ben a headache for a while.

If you can't catch up, you can't prevent it.

If you accidentally follow too closely, you may even be fouled.

It can only be said that it is not unreasonable for Popovich to allow Ginobili to play blindly.

In the Spurs, everyone has to listen to Popovich to give orders, even Duncan is no exception.

However, Ginobili can be an exception.

As Ginobili played alone and messed up the Pistons' defensive and offensive rhythms, the advantages established by the Pistons before quickly disappeared.

Larry Brown didn't know it at first, but when he saw that the point difference was chased to 2 points, he quickly called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Pistons got used to it a bit.

Since Ginobili is in good shape and has the energy to rush to the basket, then send someone to teach him a lesson.

Huo Song and Billups repeatedly played Ginobili with high backs.

After Ginobili saw Huo Song, he quickly called someone to come over to change defense. Huo Song took the opportunity to rush into the basket and fouled Duncan.

The touch was okay, and he made two free throws.

It didn't take long for Billups to find trouble with Ginobili.

It's understandable that Ginobili couldn't guard against Huo Song, but he also couldn't guard against Billups, who was shorter than him, so there was a problem.

After Billups turned Ginobili away, he immediately shot a three-pointer.

Relying on the 1 points scored by Huo Song and Billups in the last minute of the first quarter, the Pistons continued to consolidate the point difference at more than 5 points.

The game entered the second quarter, and Hamilton, who didn't attack much in the first quarter, suddenly stepped up to take over the game.

Huo Song and Duncan each led the two teams to rest off the court, and Turkoglu complained again and again when Hamilton played.

After playing 4 minutes in the second quarter, Popovich had to call a timeout and change the lineup on a large scale.

Larry Brown was also careful, and replaced Billups and Big Ben in advance to work with Hamilton.

Huo Song was left to deal with Duncan. Since Huo Song wanted to fight Duncan one-on-one, Larry Brown naturally wanted to satisfy Huo Song.

Halfway through the second quarter, Popovich finally sent Duncan back on the field.

Huo Song followed closely, but when he came up, Duncan easily hit the ball and scored.

"You don't have to jump so fast, you can feel the movement of my turn again, try to fight against me, so that I don't find the space to shoot so easily.

Maybe I won't choose this way of attack if I am pushed by you.

Your physical condition is very good, you can do better defensively. "

Duncan guided Huo Song to defend himself one-on-one, and told Huo Song what he could improve when defending him.

It was another round to defend Duncan. Huo Song didn't know if it was Duncan who studied psychology. He hypnotized him when talking to him before.

In short, Huo Song defended Duncan this time, subconsciously doing what Duncan said before.

In the end, Huo Song gave Duncan a big hat and stunned Duncan.

Comparing with Huo Song who was moving like a rabbit after he blocked the shot and then stabbed the ball, spread his legs and rushed to the frontcourt, Duncan is the quiet virgin standing in the same place.
