Chapter 226 Strength gap
Beep beep!

At the start of the game, Duncan beat Mihm and returned the ball to the Spurs' half.

Duncan's athletic ability still exists in this period, and Mim really can't beat him.

Parker immediately began to accelerate after receiving the ball, and Atkins followed closely.

But Parker's iconic top spin to open up space and small throws is pure personal ability.

But snap!

Ye Heping caught up from the side and slapped the ball away.

Kobe grabbed the ball and immediately organized a fast break.

However, Ginobili didn't know when, he sprinted out from the side and stealthily broke the ball.

This guy is a real ghost.

How can Kobe give up, follow Ginobili tightly, give enough aggression, and completely deny Ginobili the space to shoot.

Ginobili didn't force himself, and suddenly flicked the ball with one hand in a fake shot. The ball flew from the top of the three-point line to the basket, passed through five Lakers defenders, and landed in Muhammad's hands.

The audience was shocked, such a bold pass, really only Ginobili dared to play.

A slight deviation is a mistake.

It's like frantically probing on the verge of making a mistake!
If it were Parker or Duncan, Popovich would definitely scold him to death.

But when Ginobili did this, Popovich just shook his head with a wry smile, and then gave up the idea of ​​spraying him.

Popovich is also used to this Argentine man who dared to steal his tactical board.

The key is that Manu Ginobili is bold and skilled. Although he has been on the verge of making mistakes, he rarely makes mistakes.

Regardless, it's a perfect pass.

Odom, who was marking Muhammad, was a little far away and couldn't return to the defense in time. Mim was stuck by Duncan again and couldn't defend.

Muhammad is unguarded, jumping and dunking.

But at some point, a purple figure descended from the sky, slapped it out, and nailed the ball to the backboard abruptly.

No. 24 of the Lakers, Ye Heping, blocked two shots in one round, and all of them came from supplementary defense.

After blocking the shot, Ye Heping turned around and snatched the ball, and immediately launched a fast break.

It's a pity that Bowen, with his experience, clung to Ye Heping, gave his teammates enough time to return to defense, and strangled a fast break of the Lakers.

Ye Heping had no choice but to stabilize his rhythm and build his position slowly.

After one round, the score was 0:0. Neither side scored, but the fans were hooked.

Parker's speed, Ginobili's turmoil, Duncan's teamwork, Bowen's experience, Kobe's fierceness, Ye Heping's barrier...all were reflected in this round.

"Just from this round, it can be predicted that this will definitely be a wonderful matchup."

Zhang Weiping broadcast live.

Upon receiving the invitation from the NBA, Zhang Weiping personally led the team to the United States and will follow up and report on the whole process of the series.

"Ye Heping played very beautifully. It is very reasonable to switch positions if you can't play fast break!"

What is indispensable is a wave of peace.

The game continued, and Ye Heping went to the frontcourt and handed the ball directly to Kobe, blocking a wave of Ginobili by the way.

The Lakers' tactics are very clear, that is, to stare at Manu Ginobili and Parker to play. The Spurs' weak defensive ability in the backcourt is too obvious.

Ginobili wanted to go around Ye Heping, but was blocked so tightly that he couldn't squeeze through.

Just like Ray Allen's evaluation of Ginobili: On the offensive end, none of the three can hold a Ginobili.But on the defensive end, Ginobili couldn't hold back alone.

But how could Popovich be unprepared for such an obvious problem.

Bowen quickly switched defenses, and Duncan also took a step outside, ready to intercept Kobe at any time.

For more than ten years, in order to make up for the defensive problems in the backcourt, Popovich will always ensure that the team has a defensive No. 3 position.

As soon as Kobe accelerated and broke through two steps, he was blocked by Bowen and Duncan on the flank.

The Spurs' defense was very successful!

But Popovich was not only not satisfied, but his face changed drastically.

Because after Ye Heping blocked Ginobili, he went straight to the outside.

And Ginobili was thinking about Kobe, but couldn't keep up with Ye Heping.

At this moment, Ye Heping is vacant.

"Quick! Go..."

Popovich stood up and yelled.

But it was too late, Kobe's pass flew out of the encirclement and into Ye Heping's hands.

Ye Heping catches the ball comfortably, adjusts, aims at the frame, squats, jumps, and shoots without haste!
The ball crossed a beautiful parabola and fell into the basket.

Swish!
3: 0.

Ye Heping opened the scoring for the Lakers and took the lead.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Spurs attack.

Parker's quick breakthrough was hindered and he did not force a shot, but went to Duncan immediately.

Duncan made a 45-degree angle and received the ball from the edge of the paint.

It was Mihm who defended Duncan. After all, Duncan hadn't lost weight at this time, and the tonnage was so large that Odom couldn't stand it at all.

However, the tonnage of the meme is enough, but the speed suffers.

After Duncan lowered his head, he started suddenly, stepped over Mim with an acceleration, and directly killed the inside line.

Odom immediately gave up Muhammad and came up to block Duncan.

Duncan looked at all directions and listened to all directions. He noticed Odom's move, and passed the ball lightly, and sent the ball to Muhammad.

Muhammad was extremely excited when he got the perfect opportunity to eat bread again.

However, Odom immediately turned around to defend Muhammad at an extremely fast speed. Under his interference, Muhammad missed another good opportunity.

I still remember the joke that Ye Heping made on the plane, it really hit the point.

Coming to this military-controlled city without nightclubs, Odom's status has skyrocketed.

Not only did he not lose his mind, but he also became more brave.

Ye Heping rushed inside to grab a rebound.

But at this moment, a figure leaped high, grabbed the ball before Ye Heping, and smashed it into the basket with one hand.

Bang!
The basket vibrated violently, and there was a feeling that it was about to fall at any time.

This subsidy is brutal!

And the person who did it was Tim Duncan.

The absolute core of the Spurs, wearing the No. 21 jersey, the No. 1 power forward in history, the No. [-] active player in the NBA, and the only inside player who can interact with O'Neal at his peak.

A star like Duncan can't be exaggerated.

It is worth mentioning that Duncan is different from the floor style in the hearts of many fans in the later stage. At this moment, he is still flying.

In fact, he was forced to lose weight after two serious injuries, changed his style of play, and became a stone Buddha.

In the past, Duncan also flew into the sky and escaped from the ground, making all kinds of breakthrough dunks, omnipotent.

And it shouldn't be wrong to call Duncan No. 1 in active service. O'Neal stepped down from the altar, and Kobe has not yet fully grown up. Duncan is the strongest star in the NBA during this period.

Especially in the 02-03 season, the single-core led the team to win the championship, which is even more valuable.

24场季后赛，邓肯场均24.7分15.4篮板5.3助攻3.3盖帽。

In addition, the second Parker averaged 14.7 points, the third Wu Sheng averaged 12.8 points, and the fourth Ginobili only 9.4 points.

Single core no doubt!

It also fully proves the strength of Duncan's ruling level.

In the past few years, Duncan has been his strongest form, his skills have become perfect, and most of his athletic ability has been preserved, and he can still play for more than 40 minutes.

So the Lakers met the strongest Duncan this year.

In addition, Ginobili has just led Argentina to eliminate the American Dream Team for two consecutive times, which can be said to be No.1 in the world basketball.

No.1 active player in the NBA, No.1 basketball player in the world, plus the mature Parker, first defense Bowen, gold medal role player Horry... This Spurs team is stronger than ever!

In fact, the entire league, including fans, and even the Lakers themselves know that there is a huge gap between the two teams.

But so what?

As the old saying goes, just do it.
