Chapter 422 Weidong VS Duncan
Chapter 422 Weidong VS Duncan
Popovich's post-match speech made everyone feel his helplessness.
After the game, blaming a fan for the loss is something Popovich has never done.
Gentry's arrogance gave the Spurs a chance to win at home, but this chance was killed by a hilarious fan. In the second half, Weidong was like a god descending.
Facing the Spurs' double-team, three-team, and four-team, Weidong was still able to score 10 points in just 60 minutes.
"I have never seen such a strong player, he does not belong to this era."
Duncan said in his post-match interview, "After this season, I will choose to retire. I don't want to meet Weidong on the court."
60 points in the half! ! !
It really makes other players desperate.
But Duncan actually wants to retire? ? ?
Just as Weidong returned to the hotel, he was still a little sad when he heard the news, so he took out his mobile phone and played with Snake for a while.
He also wanted to persuade Duncan, but he didn't have Duncan's phone number.
Two days later, the Spurs ushered in Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals at home.
"We need Duncan!"
"Duncan, please don't leave us!"
"Flying devil, the eternal god of the Spurs!"
The home fans have also heard that Duncan is going to retire. The AT&T Arena and off the court are full of fans. The fans want to keep Duncan, but if Duncan really chooses to retire this summer, it will be Duncan's best performance in the league. last game of .
O'Neal, Nash, Nowitzki.
What Duncan said after the last game was very decisive, and he could hear his determination to retire, so many NBA celebrities came to the game tonight.
Before the game started, O'Neal said to Weidong with a straight face: "Brother Dong, do me a favor and let the water go tonight. Let the Spurs win this game."
"Do you still want to watch another Western Conference Finals game?"
Weidong raised his eyebrows, "But you can't buy tickets to the American West Arena."
"Ah ha ha"
O'Neill chased after him, "If you don't give me a ticket, I'll squat at the entrance of the American West Arena and cry for you!"
Before the start of the game, the list of starting players will be announced.
Suns: Weidong, Curry, Durant, Thompson, Green.
Spurs: Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, Bonner.
Gentry didn't continue his previous 'five-up-five-down' lineup against the Spurs, a nod to Duncan's retirement battle.
Even if he retires this season, it will not change the fact that Duncan is the number one power forward in history.
Players from both sides have come to the field.
Seeing Duncan standing in the middle circle and preparing to jump the ball, Weidong waved his hand to signal Durant to go away, he wanted to jump the ball with Duncan.
"what"
Although the home fans hated Weidong, they were moved a little more when they saw Weidong take the initiative to find Duncan for a jump ball.
"Beep!!!"
The referee threw the basketball into the air.
Weidong and Duncan took off together, but Duncan touched the basketball first and passed the ball to Parker.
"Defense!"
With a wave of his hand, Wei Dong signaled his teammates to quickly defend and settle down.
After landing, the Suns still had a 3-2 zone defense, with Weidong, Curry, and Durant in front, and Green and Thompson defending Duncan in the low post.
This is not deliberate release of water, but a defensive strategy for the Spurs' lineup of one inside and four outside.
Parker lobs the ball to Duncan.
Facing the double-teaming of Green and Thompson, Duncan made a small turn and used his height advantage to hook a layup.
"Shh!!!"
Basketball hollow into the net.
2:0! ! !
Weidong attacked with the ball, Durant went down after the pick-and-roll, received a pass from Weidong, and succeeded in one-handed dunking.
With a big score of 3:0 behind, the Spurs have lost hope of reaching the finals, and they are doing the final struggle, but because of Duncan's decision to retire, the atmosphere of the Spurs is still a bit dull.
Parker, Ginobili just kept making the ball for Duncan.
In the last highlight of his career, Duncan also tried his best, and Green and Thompson couldn't limit Duncan even if they were tied together.
"Shh!!!"
Duncan hit another high toss.
97:96! ! !
The Spurs took the lead by one point, and there were still 5 minutes left before the end of the game. Duncan played 37 minutes and scored 43 points, which is currently the highest score in the game.
"pause!"
Weidong called a timeout after getting the ball.
Walking back to the bench, Wei Dong said, "I'll play against Duncan in a while, Lao Jin, let's see how this tactic is arranged."
"You can arrange it yourself"
Gentry unscrewed the thermos cup, and the old god took a sip of tea.
"Um?!"
Wei Dong frowned, the old man was getting lazy.
Seeing that Weidong's expression was wrong, Gentry took out the tactical board, "Curry takes the ball at the top of the arc, Thompson, you run around the bottom line, take away the defender, Durant cuts in the middle, and creates the same situation as Duncan for Dongge." After a one-on-one chance, immediately pass the ball to Dong Ge."
Back from the timeout, the Suns attack.
Just like the tactics deployed by Gentry, Weidong took the ball in the low post to form a chance to single Duncan.
According to Weidong's habit, he should use Duncan's high throw to complete the score, but facing Duncan's defense, this is too difficult!Duncan is tall and has long arms, and his high throw does not need to jump high. Weidong can easily be interfered by Duncan when he plays like this.
So Weidong could only shake Duncan away with a fake move, and then sent the ball into the basket with a low-handed layup.
This is also Duncan's common trick, but Weidong jumps higher to prevent being disturbed by Duncan.
Then the Spurs attacked.
After Duncan received the pass in the low post, Weidong defended Duncan alone. The Suns players all pulled away and did not come up to help defend.
Duncan faced Weidong with his back, took two steps inside, and threw his hand high!
"Shh!!!"
The basketball grazed Weidong's fingertips and fell into the basket.
This is why Duncan is called "big basic skills". Even Weidong, defending Duncan one-on-one in the low post is very difficult.
"MVP! MVP! MVP!"
The one-on-one between Weidong and Duncan pushed the atmosphere in the stadium to a climax.
You come and go, the score rises alternately!
In nearly 4 minutes, Weidong and Duncan played infinite singles. Even if they failed to make a shot, they were still fighting for rebounds.
"pause!"
With 57 seconds left in the game, Popovich called a timeout.
104:105! ! !
The Spurs are only one point behind, and the player is still in the hands of the Spurs, so there is great hope of winning this game.
Popovich must plan his tactics well.
After all, this is the Western Conference Finals. If the Spurs really win this game, maybe they can win the next game, the next game, the next game, and then they can make it to the finals.
