The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 623, the amazing 2-person team



Chapter 623, the amazing duo

In the last game, God's left hand was the most outstanding point for the Pacers, but this was entirely due to Duncan's end. The Grizzlies' other inside defenses could not directly cover the half court like Duncan did. This is Duncan's true level without knee injuries.It is also the root of why Popovich is still obsessed with it.

In this game, Larry Bird was transferred back to the starting lineup, and Mark Jackson returned to the starting lineup. The loss of the two games made Larry Bird understand that it is not an easy matter to restrain Xiao Tian. it.

Mark Jackson’s ability to control the rhythm is incomparable to Best. Facing him and facing Best are completely two ways of playing. Best is much better than Mark Jackson in scoring ability. This is the key to why Larry Bird didn’t want to use Mark Jackson before. A bit better than those two in terms of passing, but that's not good enough at all.

The playoffs are a game of catching loopholes. Your shortcomings are caught. If you don’t adjust in time, you will really be beaten to death. After all, the head coaches who entered the playoffs are more or less two-handed. Of course, Tyronn Lue in the historical space is a special case.So in the historical space, he went to the Lakers to apply for a job, and Jenny Buss looked down on him for no reason. Although he is a champion coach and his winning percentage is not low, everyone knows how his winning percentage came from. So this kind of head coach with a lot of moisture is not worth so much money. sign up.

Anyway, the head coaches of both sides are not the bastard head coaches like Tylen Lue. They each have their own things. Paul Westphal is very similar to Larry Bird. They both emphasize the balance of offense and defense, rather than Larry Brown. In addition, the style of basketball has changed from breakthrough to shooting. Compared with breakthroughs, shooting is more difficult to defend, because you can easily be fouled when defending shots, and the probability of breakthroughs is slightly lower. Therefore, Tom Thibodeau, the indefatigable head coach, moved to Minnesota after he retired Rose, which scared James' successor Wiggins to play healthy basketball immediately. Yes, basketball is a youth game. If you get your body covered in bruises early, you will end up being kicked out by the team. The NBA is a business league, and there is no human touch. Isn’t Rose an example? He became the youngest mvp in the history of the Bulls and even the league.

This is a very sad fact, so you can understand Wiggins' health basketball, at least before Thibodeau came, although Wiggins had no fighting spirit, at least he didn't start health care.

And the current Thibodeau seems to have become the head coach of a certain team again, and Van Gundy acts as a commentator with peace of mind. He doesn't seem to want to step into the circle of the head coach.

Mark Jackson's offensive combing is pretty good, at least under Xiao Tian's high-pressure defense, Mark Jackson didn't make a single mistake in the first quarter, it can be seen that this guy is really not simple,
In the first quarter, the Pacers trailed the Grizzlies by 2 points. The atmosphere in the Conseco Arena was still very enthusiastic, and the two guests in the commentary booth also began to beep.

"The Pacers played very resolutely. Their performance today is extraordinary. It depends on whether they can continue to maintain it." Isiah Thomas sat on the commentary seat, thinking about how to lure Duncan into the Knicks bowl. Although McGrady and the Knicks are very close, I am not very interested in this guy. In terms of talent, his talent is even higher than Duncan, but this guy is too comfortable and too unpursued. Congratulations, as for the victory, McGrady is second. As for the 35 seconds and 13 points in the historical space, it is one of the few bright spots for McGrady. Unfortunately, it was in the regular season. If it is in the playoffs, it will last for a long time.

The current Knicks are a bit like the Lakers in the historical space. They put on the airs of their giants and turn a blind eye to ordinary superstars. They only see those top superstars. However, in the end, even top superstars will not go to them.

Isiah Thomas actually wants to be the general manager of the Pistons. After all, he still has feelings for the city of Detroit compared to New York, but the boss and senior management still prefer Joe Dumars, so the smiling assassin can only give up.Joe Dumars is the only general manager who is black and not brain-dead in the NBA. It should be said that he is the only one, and there is no semicolon. If you look at Baylor, Magician, and Jordan's magical operations, you will understand how awesome this guy is.

Although many people criticized that choosing Milicic was a mistake, for the Pistons at that time, they chose James and the result was not much better. Maybe James will be trained by Larry Brown to be the next Ben Wallace.

But Milicic’s tragedy in the Pistons, apart from Larry Brown, is also related to himself. This guy is a kind of introverted person who likes to immerse himself in a person’s world, and Larry Brown is a defensive head coach. He doesn’t like Milicic’s inside and outside. That's it, then Milicic is really a tragic choice for the Pistons.If he went to any team, he would not be as tragic as he is now.

It's just that the Knicks and the logo man are not more interested in the Spurs. The Spurs can at least have the potential of Tracy McGrady, and the Knicks are really a pile of leftovers, so even if the Knicks have ten people for one, the logo man is not interested. What's more, the ten people combined may not be as good as Duncan.

Jordan didn't speak, because Isiah Thomas' words made him unable to refute. At the same time, he was also angry in his heart. Mom was a critic. He knew that he and Isiah Thomas, a bastard, were sworn enemies, but ESPN still invited this guy to be a guest. Bastard, really a bastard, is his reputation as a basketball god so worthless?

Jordan's title of basketball god has not been plundered, but it is undoubtedly much lighter than his title in the historical space. Before he played against Olajuwon, everyone thought that Jordan should be the number one pick.

The game continued, and the situation was still in line with the previous two games. The weakness of the inside line was infinitely expanded after Duncan came on the court. Dale Davis was completely suppressed by Duncan alone.This makes the entire Pacers more passive.

Of course, Xiao Tian’s performance is still very stable. Mark Jackson didn’t make any mistakes, but his passing route was also blocked. This guy has no other choice but to score by himself, and the way he scores is his big ass. Hitting, one, two, three, turning, shooting, and ironing are the most common scenes of Mark Jackson in the second quarter, and this guy has also become the main point of attack for the Pacers. In the situation, the shortcomings of the Pacers without a superstar on the field have also been exposed. This Pacers team is very similar to the Kaizi led by Stevens in the historical space.This kind of team is very embarrassing. It would be a pity if it was torn down and rebuilt, but if it was not rebuilt, there would be no chance of turning around.Those who are the focus of training in the team can become superstars, but they cannot become superstars.

The Pacers stepped into the predicament of the previous two games again, that is, the stalemate with the Grizzlies could not continue. The Grizzlies always have a way to get rid of themselves. Duncan and Xiao Tian, ​​one inside and one outside, made the Pacers' defense look so weak, like paper. Duncan played really well in this half game, with 30 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks. In the last game, he was unable to play due to a fever.And Xiao Tian didn't try to steal Duncan's limelight. In the halftime, Xiao Tian's data was 17 points and 12 assists.

This kind of complementary partner core made the Pacers fans very envious, and Jordan in the commentary was also very envious, "Heaven and Tim are really a pair of superstars. This kind of teammate is too rare. If I can have such a team early in my career, then the number of championships I won will definitely not be five."

As soon as Jordan finished speaking, the smiling assassin over there began to yell, "In the early days, you seemed to be unable to see anything except the basket. If you partnered with Heaven, I'm sure you would definitely be beaten.Of course, if it were me, I would do the same. "

Jordan just smiled and didn't go to confront the smiling assassin. In the early days of his career, he was indeed a cancer who only had eyes for the basket, but it was also during that time that he understood the loneliness of being a scorer. Although Doug Collins was very supportive of himself, he couldn't do much except set up tactics that let him play singles, singles, and singles.In Pippen's first season with the team, he competed with himself on three-pointers, and he narrowly won, and that guy was one of the few helpers in his career. After having this guy, in the playoffs, the Bulls took longer and longer, and finally came to the championship stage.But compared to Xiao Tian and Duncan, Pippen chose to sacrifice because he knew he couldn’t surpass himself, so he felt at ease as the second-in-command, but Duncan and Xiao Tian were not. But in 90.00% of the cases, this kind of moment is still done by yourself.And Pippen will be a spectator at that time.

Both Duncan and Xiao Tian are the kind of existence that can become an absolute superstar. If the two of them are separated, Duncan can also support a team, which is why so many teams are rushing to this big man. Compared with Harder and Webber, this low-key Virgin Islands boy has become the hottest power forward in the league, and even one of them can be removed.The combination of the two of them is relatively rare in the entire history of the NBA. Even for the extremely beautiful Kyle back then, some of the people around Bill Russell are real superstars. Except for Havlicek, everyone else is just the second master.
