All-Around Forward Swingman

If they had known that this guy was so powerful, they would have snatched Jordan down first, but there is no if in the world, so now they still have a headache for Jordan.

He thought of many ways, but in the end he found that none of these ways worked well. The reason is simple. The current Rockets are not a single-core team. In addition to Jordan, they also have Yang Shan, the strongest player in the league, on the outside. If they send two or three people to limit Jordan.

Then the happiest person is probably Yang Shan, he can easily open fire from outside. If it is only for singles, with Duncan's current ability, I am afraid that he is not the opponent of Jordan.

Yes, Duncan was no match for Xiao Qiao. Thinking of this, Popovich even felt a little scary. You must know that this is only a first-year rookie, but Duncan is a veteran in the league for nearly ten years, and he started from entering the league. His skills have already tended to be great, but now Popovich's idea is that Duncan is not an opponent, which is simply too nonsense.

Popovich's brain hurt from thinking, and he didn't think of how to restrict this guy well. In the end, he can only put all his hopes on Duncan. After all, this guy is in the same position and is also a historical player. Now he can only rely on him.

Popovich felt a little sad, as if he had returned to the beginning of this century, facing the giant Shaquille O'Neal who had grown into a giant, and the sharp-edged Kobe Bryant, they were like this once, feeling a little helpless, But in the end they defeated these two opponents and won their championship.

Unexpectedly, only a few years later, such a powerful opponent appeared again, and he could still rely on Duncan to grit his teeth to resist.

The current Duncan's physical explosive ability has declined due to injuries. Relying on his skilled skills, he can still perform well in the paint. It's possible.

Looking at his teammates, Tony Parker has become one of the best guards in the league after several years of growth, but he is not the top one.

As for Ginobili and Parker, the situation is similar. Both are All-Star players, but they are always a little short of superstars. It is precisely this gap, but it is two completely different levels of players.

Duncan could still be regarded as a superstar before, but after returning from injury, he only became a first-class player. It's not so different from the previous superstar.

In the past, Popovich didn't care much about the team's affairs, because he felt that the 797 that basketball relies on should be the cooperation between players, rather than a certain player's performance against the sky. But as he fell at the feet of superstars again and again, he finally discovered that a superstar is a superstar.

Superstars and top-notch players usually don't look that big, but everyone looks like they are scoring 20 or so points. But at critical moments, they can always change the situation on the field by themselves. Duncan could do this before, but now he is a little powerless.

Just when Popovich was thinking wildly, the situation on the court was constantly tilting towards the Rockets. If Duncan is said to be inside, he can barely play back and forth with Jordan.
