NBA basketball rhythm monster

The offensive and defensive battle between the two was quite fierce at the beginning of the game. Overall, Li Luo suffered a slight loss.

Although Duncan suffered a serious meniscus tear in 2000, he no longer flew into the sky and escaped from the ground. But the former Flying White Devil of Wake Forest University was also quite terrifying when he transformed into a floor player.

Around 2003, Duncan's combat power reached its peak.

As the core of the defending champion, Duncan averaged 24.2 points, 17 rebounds, 5.33 blocks and 5.3 assists in 6 Finals games in the 2003 Finals against the Nets, winning the second Finals MVP trophy in his career.

In Game 6 of the coronation, he scored 21 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists and 8 blocks. He almost became the first person in history to achieve a quadruple-double in the finals.

And now Li Luo is challenging this big mountain in the fourth position. In the second round, Li Luo, who defended desperately, finally blocked Duncan, even though he just touched the basketball with his finger. But it was covered.

Covered.

Duncan still had no expression on his face. As a two-time FMVP, he had been blocked many times.

But the rookie in front of him gave him a different feeling. In the first two rounds of confrontation, Duncan obviously felt a bit tricky.

Although Duncan scored easily in the first round, this one goal made him take out a lot of things from his arsenal, and he had to do several sets of fake moves before it worked.

In the second round, Li Luo even directly covered him, which surprised Duncan. Judging from his body shape, Li Luo was not the kind of meat shield-type insider who was obsessed with hanging meat. He actually exploded in the face of his own strength.

There was such strong resistance.

It wasn't until his last shot that Duncan discovered that he had underestimated Li Luo's fighting spirit and jumping. Facing Celtics center Blount's defense, Duncan just wanted to block Li Luo and then used a small hook in the penalty area.

Unexpectedly, Li Luo blocked the ball with his own elbow.

"That's interesting." Duncan thought to himself.

As for the Celtics, the fact that Duncan was blocked made all the Celtics members very happy, especially since the person who accomplished this was their own rookie on the team.

Especially Auerbach, who was watching the game in front of the TV, was the most excited. He had been brooding about missing Duncan for a long time, and now he finally had Luo Li.

Although he still has many shortcomings, being able to compete with Duncan for a few rounds has proved Li Luo's potential.

It was the Celtics' turn to attack. This time, the team still insisted on creating opportunities for Li Luo to take action.

O'Brien thought clearly. Between the two options of winning a victory and cultivating Li Luo, if he did not choose the latter, he would definitely have to chat with Mr. Auerbach for a long time when he returned to Boston.

Wouldn't it be nice to just be a coach and earn a comfortable salary?

Besides, didn't the team boss Pierce first propose to share the pressure with Li Luo?

Although it was decided to give Li Luo a good number in this game, how to do it was still a problem.

In terms of defense, O'Brien can't help Li Luo much. Duncan, the fmvp, can be said to be both inside and outside. A good mid-range shot makes double-teaming much more difficult. If Duncan bursts in like before, it's okay, he can pass

Double teams to lower his shooting percentage.

But if you launch an attack in the mid-range, you can only rely on Li Luo's own defensive ability.

But on offense, O'Brien has a solution.

First of all, Li Luo's shooting range is also not short. With a stable mid-range, there are many tactical options. If you want to score points, you don't have to focus on the basket.

Secondly, Duncan's defensive ability is quite good. Although he has never won the best defensive player in his career, Duncan's honor of being selected to the best defensive team 15 times is also shining.

Yes, it's so outrageous. Duncan has never won the Defensive Award in his career.

Therefore, we cannot directly let Li Luo and Duncan fall into a one-on-one attrition situation. Such an ending will make Li Luo's data very ugly.

Therefore, Pierce took the initiative to stir up the muddy waters. Only by dislocating Li Luo or running out of space can such an opportunity be considered easy.

In this game, Pierce plans to increase his off-ball movement and try to cover every ball with Li Luo.

That's exactly what happened with this attack.

Pierce led Bowen. Then Li Luo and Pierce ran crosswise around the penalty area. At this time, Duncan's first reaction was to follow Li Luo's direction to defend, but Pierce's role in this movement was reflected.

.

After Lee Luo inserted himself into the gap between Pierce and Bowen to complete his movement, Pierce leaned slightly toward the basket.

He filled the space between himself and Bowen!

Duncan, who caught up to defend, immediately collided with Pierce. Li Luo successfully got an open position on the left side of Pierce's original position.

Celtics defender Atkins quickly passed the ball. After Li Luo received the ball, a large gap with no one in the area within two meters was formed.

There is nothing to hesitate about. Li Luo has basically never lost such an opportunity this season. As a good mid-range shooter, Li Luo's shooting rate in the mid-range this season has reached a considerable 58%.

"Whoa!" The basketball hit the net smoothly.

A beautiful tactical coordination can always inspire great morale in the team.

This goal was a complete tactical victory. Pierce used the body of his opponent Bruce Bowen to create a simple version of the "elevator door" tactic during the movement.

Duncan, who was scored by his opponent, did not feel a trace of frustration at this time. He looked at Li Luo, who was celebrating with his teammates by high-fiving, and a rare smile appeared on his lips.

"Are all rookies today so interesting?"

Duncan has not faced such a challenge for a long time. Except for the Timberwolves player with the same number as No. 21, it is difficult to find a fourth position in the league that can arouse Duncan's strong fighting spirit.

His battle process in each game is as simple as clocking in at work:

A few mid-range shots, one or two rebounds, occasional free throws, plus a few layups from time to time...

As for dunks? Duncan contributed a lot of dunks in the game, but how should I put it? Duncan's dunks embody two words:

Dry.

It is even said that his playing style is like this, every goal is so mediocre and his sense of presence is very low.

Oh, Duncan scored again.

Oh, Duncan caused a foul and an extra penalty.

These inconspicuous goals will always surprise you when you get the data sheet at the end of the game:

"Holy shit, why is he 2510? Obviously..."

In this game, Li Luo's performance inspired Duncan's fighting spirit.

Shi Buddha opened his eyes!
