New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 348 Duncan Appears
Any new lineup will have a running-in period, and a team as strong as the Spurs is also a reason.Although people don't pay attention to their strength in the early games.

"The Spurs are really strong. If it weren't for the fact that they are still in the running-in period, I dare say that the Lakers are not the only team that can win consecutive victories now."

In fact, there is nothing wrong with the on-site commentary, but the winning streak depends on the right time, place and people. Otherwise, there are countless strong enemies in history, but there are few teams that can really make history.

Until now, some people still say that the Lakers took advantage of the schedule, or took advantage of the opponent.God knows why Curry got injured at a critical moment, let alone that the Warriors coach made a wrong string and really replaced him.

Adult beauty is not popular in the league. Everyone should be holding back their energy and preparing to pull the Lakers off their horses and end their winning streak.

After all, no matter from the perspective of the team or the Lakers star Zhang Yi, they are all like intruders in the NBA.How can a rookie in the first grade who has turned over suddenly for many years gain the respect of his opponents! ?
If the previous opponents did not cause too much trouble for the Lakers, then the Spurs who blocked their winning streak are definitely a big BOOS.

Wacker also understands that it will be very difficult to win this game.And the Lakers have just experienced a moderate infighting.Although the result has been successfully resolved, no one knows whether there is still a potential impact.

On the contrary, the Spurs have won a wave of 5 consecutive victories, and the opponents they defeated are not weak.It can be seen that their running-in period is over.

What is even more surprising is that Simpkins' offense this year has almost played his strongest season.It was originally thought that his possession of the ball would be partly divided by the rookies, but now it is self-defeating.

The Spurs have completely adjusted their tactics for the team's lineup.In the past, they paid more attention to the team, but now they have begun to combine individual offense and team play.

This can be regarded as a kind of double insurance, especially because of the concession made by the head coach in order to keep Simpkins.In any case, 16 shots per game is too little for a star of his caliber.

The current league is no longer the era where a player's efficiency value is carefully analyzed. If the most intuitive data is not explosive enough, then no matter how high his win-loss value is, it is useless.

In short, the current Spurs tactics are more diverse.Simpkins' high efficiency has also translated into high scoring and high returns.

No matter how strong Zhang Yi is now, how popular he is.In the eyes of many ball critics, it is too early for the NBA to enter his era, and Simpkins is the real successor of Curry.

Before the start of the game, Zhang Yi also expressed his respect for his opponent in an interview.Especially when it comes to the last fight with him.

Although the Lakers won the final victory that time, it was because the Spurs' lineup was not perfect enough.And Simpkins didn't get so many opportunities at the time.

Journalists don't take these words as flattery.Because it is normal for league stars to squeeze each other out before.If Zhang Yi said so, then he must really think so.

When the two sides entered the arena, both the media and the audience at the scene immediately discovered that Tim Duncan, the former low-key Spurs star, also appeared on the scene with 'KING' LeBron James.

This is definitely a very big surprise, because there are so few news about Duncan that can be found, and even many viewers may have forgotten that there is such a powerful forward in NBA history in San Antonio.

The scene shots were also frequently given to this legendary player. By his side, James, who used to be the core wherever he went, even took the initiative to give way.

After all, in this AT&T Center Arena, Duncan is the eternal owner.And as a generational opponent, James also took over the future from this man.

Although the attention of the Lakers was on the game, the audience who saw the excitement at the scene all noticed the senior on the sidelines.

In particular, Zhang Yi had only seen the active performance of 'Stone Buddha' Duncan on video before.Now that he finally saw the real person, he was also a fan of Instant Transformation.

Whether it's the Lakers generals or the Spurs players, this Duncan hasn't come to the training hall to pick up equipment for many years.

Many newcomers don't know that there is such a big Buddha here.So the whole scene has almost become a sea of ​​memories for older fans.

The superstars who shined in this arena back then were too low-key, and since they retired their jerseys, they have basically never appeared on the scene.

Although I don't know where the other two GDPrs are now, all Spurs fans are also comforted to see Duncan appearing safe and sound in the arena that he fought for back then.

Especially the host at the scene hoped that Duncan could stand up and wave to the fans who have loved him for so many years more than once.

In the end, after repeated evasions, Duncan took off his hat and showed his white hair to greet all the old fans who stick to the arena.It's just that when he sat down, he immediately complained to James, "I just said I can't appear here, I'm in trouble."

"Old guy, you should have come out and moved around a long time ago."

James said with a smile, because in his opinion, people can't shrink into a corner when they are alive, and they have to struggle if they can.Even if I can't move anymore, I still have to direct people and watch them toss.

Of course, Duncan dismissed his thoughts. After all, one of their nicknames is King and the other is Stone Buddha. This is the difference.

The game officially started, and Wally of the Lakers struggled to get the basketball.It's just that Oscar didn't hold the ball, and finally bounced into the hands of Spurs point guard Felton.

This was also a surprise. Of course, Felton immediately passed it to Raj, one of the two guns, and made a quick charge.

Because the Lakers' defense has not yet settled, the Spurs started the game with a strong three-pointer.As a result, he staggered and fell into the frame.

It can be seen that the Spurs' desire to attack is very strong in this game.Although I don't know why they didn't hand it over to Simpkins to attack, but a team with such a high tactical quality must have its own purpose in doing so.

Zhang Yi also said to Simpkins, "It seems that you are going to give up your offense and concentrate on defending me in this game?"

"Stop being self-righteous!"

If other opponents heard such derogatory and provocative words, they would definitely fight back, but Simpkins seemed a little slow like this, and he could be said to be a carefree man. He would only respond with strength and the shortest voice!
