Chapter 116
Duncan made a direct pass to Parker, and Parker's fast break was really horribly fast.

A person's first name may be wrong, but their nickname is not.

The "French Sports Car" lived up to its reputation, and in an instant Parker had reached the basket and scored easily with a pick.

2: 0.

"The transition between offense and defense should be quicker, keep an eye on Parker, and don't give him a chance."

Tang Shuai reminded from the sidelines.

The Lakers' offense, Odom passed to Ye Heping, Ye Heping passed to Butler, Butler passed back to Ye Heping... Several passes made chances.

It's hard to imagine that the Lakers can play so reasonably.

Vujacic has a wide open outside the three-point line.

Vujacic wanted to adjust his rhythm before shooting, but at this moment, the tall and burly Duncan had already rushed out.

Vujacic didn't dare to hesitate and made a move hastily.

The ball was not in his rhythm, and it slammed on the basket, and Horry took the rebound.

For two consecutive rounds, the Lakers played very reasonably, but failed to score.

After careful analysis, it was found that they were all defeated by Duncan's defense.

The so-called GDP system is actually the Duncan system. Duncan at the peak is really too strong, and he is known as a one-man defense, which is definitely well-deserved.

Regardless of the technical level, the attitude alone is worth learning for everyone.

Just like the ball just now, it was too late to save it, and many people would give up defense and let the defender adjust.

But it doesn't exist here in Duncan. Even in the last year of his career, Duncan will not look at the opponent's open shot, and will save it every time.

In the 14 finals, Duncan was 38 years old, but he still saved a lot of times in each game.

Therefore, becoming a superstar has never been based solely on talent, but attitude is the most important thing.

Some people will say that Duncan's doing so is meaningless, and it's too late anyway, so why bother to rush out?
But from Vujacic's point of view, think about a seven-foot man jumping at you, or the top defender in the league, will you feel any pressure in your heart?

It was still Parker's fast break, with a spinning top in the frontcourt to get rid of Butler, and then a small throw.

Swish!
4: 0.

Parker was so fast the Lakers didn't even get into defensive shape.

The Lakers attack.

Odom held the ball from the outside, and Horry defended very tightly, unable to find room for a shot.

Ye Heping took the initiative to pick and roll, and the Spurs immediately switched defenses.

Bowen defended Odom, although he suffered a disadvantage in height, but the candy-style defense made Odom even more uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Ye Heping suddenly ran back to the basket and had a chance.

Odom gave the opportunity to Ye Heping in due course.

But when Ye Heping raised his head, Duncan had already appeared in front of him, firmly blocking the way.

Ye Ping made a false move, but Duncan didn't take it at all.

However, Ye Heping took the opportunity to pass the ball to Mim under the basket, a pass in seconds.

Mihm catches the ball and goes straight to the basket.

Snapped!
Then No. 21 Duncan pounced back and slapped the ball away.

Although in 2000, Duncan suffered a serious injury with a torn meniscus in his knee and his physical fitness declined, his impact is still strong and his athletic ability is still excellent.

He really started to change his style of play. In fact, he suffered from plantar fasciitis in 06 and was forced to lose weight. His offense became more and more outward, and his defense became more and more inward.

During the period from 2001 to 2005, Duncan actually still often started to attack the basket from the middle distance, and the defensive area was amazing.

It can be seen from the data that this period is Duncan's peak period.

He can score 22 points + 12 rebounds + 3 assists + 2 blocks for five consecutive seasons.

It was also during this time period that Popovich allowed Parker and Ginobili to start the two defensive loopholes at the same time, because Duncan + Bowen can completely wipe their butts for them.

Lakers inbounds.

Ye Ping ran away from Horry and hit a long two-pointer near the three-point line.

4: 2.

The Los Angeles fans breathed a sigh of relief, as did the Lakers players.

But at this moment, Horry suddenly sent a sideline kick, and the Spurs suddenly got up to a fast pace.

It was Parker again, scoring a one-stop layup, and the Lakers couldn't catch up at all.

6: 2.

What was even worse was that after the shot, Ye Heping stood there clutching his stomach with a pained expression on his face.

Beep beep!

Tang Shuai called a timeout.

Odom and Butler helped Ye Heping back.

"what happened to you?"

Divac immediately asked.

The team doctor also came up to check, but Ye Heping refused.

"Robert Horry!"

Ye Heping gritted his teeth and said.

The moment he shot the ball just now, Huo Li made another attack on Ye Heping. If Ye Heping was not strong enough, he would definitely not be able to make the shot just now.

In just a few minutes of the start, this old Yin B has attacked Ye Heping several times.

Didn't it be agreed that this guy would play dead in the regular season and only work hard in the playoffs?
Let's start playing these shady methods now, the Spurs are three dirty, it's amazing.

"Come down and rest for a while!"

Divac suggested.

"No, it's just a little sore, and it'll be fine soon."

Ye Heping refused again.

More importantly, is it Ye Heping's nature not to take revenge?

The game continued, Tang Shuai replaced Vujacic with Atkins.

Parker's speed was too fast, Vujacic obviously couldn't keep up, and he couldn't play an advantage on the offensive end, so he had to go to Atkins in advance.

In terms of speed alone, Atkins does not suffer.

But what Ye Heping didn't expect was that Popovich also changed teams.

Malik Rose replaced Robert Horry, and the old Yin B was out.

Popovich may have noticed something, in order to protect Hori, after all, this guy is 35 years old, if Ye Heping beats him up, his bones will definitely be torn off.

Ye Heping felt a little upset, and looked at Huo Li coldly.

Yet the guy actually smiled and raised his arms in an innocent gesture.

"Okay, you have the guts not to appear on stage tonight!"

Ye Heping gritted his teeth, but he had no choice but to settle down and throw himself into the game.

Let's talk about the feud with Horry later, the game is the most important.

The Lakers attack, and Odom beats Rose with a mid-range jumper.

6: 4.

Although Rose is also a power forward, he is only 201 cm tall, lacks independent offensive ability, and has no three-pointers. He is a completely weakened version of Horry.

What Odom is best at is playing this short four.

The Spurs' offense was still Parker's attack on the Lakers' defense with the ball.

This is also the way the Spurs attack. When there is a tailwind, Parker will attack. If Parker can't open it, he will hand it over to Duncan. If Duncan is not in good shape, he will hand it over to Ginobili.

Atkins played a role as soon as he came on the field, following Parker tightly.

In desperation, Parker could only stuff the ball to Duncan.

Duncan held the ball and stood at a 45-degree angle outside the paint area, patted the basketball, turned around and accelerated, easily squeezed past Mihm, and then scored with a rebound.

8: 4.

Ye Heping was a little embarrassed. He wanted to come up to defend, but he didn't dare to let Bowen go. This guy's three-point shooting rate exceeded 40% this season, so he absolutely couldn't let him go.

But guarding against a Bowen not moving, and feeling like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, it's not worth it.

The Lakers attacked, and Ye Heping found Atkins and whispered a few words.
