: Two hundred fifty-nine. Western Conference Finals Fourteenth

Duncan's defense on the inside is too strict, and the defense on the outside is also very strong. The Lakers have McCollum, Nick Young, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Whiteside on the field, and the space still seems to be insufficient.
Give the ball to Nick Young, Nick Young, regardless of whether this is the playoffs or not, makes a strong three-pointer with a diagonal body... If it fails, Duncan protects his defensive rebound.
Don’t look at Whiteside’s strong rebounding, strong card position, and long wingspan, but Duncan stuck in the interior like a nail, stupefied to lift Whiteside to get the rebound, his standing ability, wingspan and prediction The verdict is no worse than Whiteside!
The first power forward in history is not for fun! Duncan ranks first among all power forwards in league history in terms of technique and physical fitness! none of them!
Just as Popovich expected, if both Kobe and Liu Ren are present at the same time, it will be difficult to defend.
But it's easier when there is only one person! Duncan perfectly blocked Liu Ren's attack on the inside. Without Kobe to attract defense, Liu Ren played very hard!
And Nick Young, who was high hopes, was pitted today, with an extremely poor touch, shooting three consecutive shots.
A wave of 8 to 2, the Spurs widened the point difference to 6 points, and the Lakers were given a timeout!
D'Antoni also saw the opponent's defense, and quickly replaced Nick Young with Kobe and McCollum with Marshall.
Pause back, the Lakers attack.
Bryant holds the ball outside, he wants to use his offensive ability to tear the Spurs defense, D'Antoni rarely let the players down the rhythm, he is afraid that Popovich will force the speed again.
Kobe's old arms and legs can't stand it. Although Kobe can run and blast, his body burden is too great!
D'Antoni replaced the Marshall to deal with the organizer who launched the fast break when the rhythm was not suppressed.
But Popovich once again defeated D'Antoni in terms of IQ, he had no plans to speed up now! Instead, use tighter defenses!
The Spurs' defense isolated Kobe and his teammates, allowing Danny Green to defend Kobe alone.
In terms of speed, Kobe really can't compare with Danny Green. He couldn't even jump in after several jumps. Seeing the time elapse every second, the 24-second attack time is about to come.
Pass? Kobe didn't have this plan.
Fight! Kobe made a jump to the right and shot a jumper directly!
Danny Green reacted as soon as Liu Ren moved laterally, reaching the target position at almost the same frequency as Liu Ren, and blocking Liu Ren's shot.
But although Kobe is old, the jumping height hasn't dropped too much. What's reduced is explosive power and speed. His full take-off height is still that high. Danny Green tried to jump up and interfere, but there is still a palm away from Kobe's shot point. distance.
The arc of the ball is very flat, much flatter than the usual shooting arc. Because of the excellent bounce height, Kobe's shooting arc has been flat.
With good luck, Kobe's three-pointer hit the back frame and bounced back into the basket.
Spurs offense, Duncan has the ball inside.
Duncan in the playoffs is different from the regular season. During the regular season, Duncan needed him to rest because of the coach's request. Apart from the defensive end, he basically did not have his role on the offensive end, but now it is different. He and Dior's Inside coordination is a very important part of the Spurs offense.
The Lakers can't break through Duncan's defense when entering the inside line, but Duncan is much easier to play the inside line of the Lakers. Whiteside, who has been rotated, is at a loss in front of Duncan, and Duncan is equally strong offensively! Even if he is old, like Kobe, he can reach the top level at a certain time.
Whiteside competed with Greg Monroe, who is as stable as Duncan and known as the Little Duncan. Monroe has done a good job in rhythm and physical use. One-on-one Whiteside has no way to defend him, but he can be in position. Don't let Monroe get too close to the basket.
The genuine Duncan is stronger than Monroe in terms of rhythm and physical conditions. After a lot of effort, Whiteside was unable to prevent Duncan in the end. Duncan got a scoring angle and forced Green to make up his defense.
Duncan attracted Green's defensive attention, passing the ball underhand to Dior, who slipped the bottom line and scored a backhand.
The Lakers continued their offense.
The Spurs defended very close from the outside. If they broke through, Liu Ren could break into the inside, but he couldn't break through Duncan's defense. This is an objective fact. Liu Ren doesn't want to admit it, but there is no way.
But Liu Ren thought for a while and found a solution.
"Tim, have you heard of bulldozers?" Liu Ren said to Duncan who was defending himself after forcibly breaking into the inside.
"Bulldozer?" Before Duncan could react, he saw the little man in front of him leaning on his back. He suddenly realized that Liu Ren was going to be crushed by force. He thought of Leonard's misery in the regular season. Encountered, immediately used all his strength to prepare the steps to meet the opponent's impact.
"This is the bulldozer~EbookFREE.me~ After Liu Ren finished speaking, he used all his strength and often hit.
Duncan finally felt it now, and nothing else, just this power against the sky, it just doesn't make people live!
Duncan used his whole body strength, plus his weight advantage, and was knocked back half a step.
If it was the peak of the year, Duncan would definitely be able to stop Liu Ren, but as he gets older and older, Duncan loses weight every year. Although this is enough for the center at the end of the day, he encounters "barbarians" like James and Liu Ren. The guy who smashed into the inside, he would still lament that time is not forgiving.
Seeing that the opponent's second impact was coming soon, Duncan recharged his strength, stabilized his center of gravity, and greeted the second impact.
Liu Ren looked at Duncan's actions, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. His second impact trend was fake!
I saw Liu Ren suddenly turned to the right, didn't touch Duncan at all, and slipped straight across the bottom line.
Duncan quickly turned to defend.
"Oops! A hit!" When Duncan reacted, there was a strong force behind him, and Whiteside took the crotch to pass the ball dunk.
"This young man is really strong. If he is not technically good, he can use other aspects to make up for it." Although Duncan was teased by Liu Ren and was cut off by a center, he admired Liu Ren more. Young players like Liu Ren are coming. The fewer young people nowadays are mostly functional players.
Isn’t that the background? This is the characteristic of Duncan’s entire career...
Duncan is disappointed with most young people now, because now he has a single skill, can defend, and can get a high salary. He misses his youth even more. The league is full of top stars. He misses that every game. In an era of rivals comparable to him, there are so many high-paying players on each team, but one by one cannot match the word star.
