NBA: I rely on recklessness to play basketball

Dirk Nowitzki and Tim Duncan, two one-man-one-city representatives, are almost at the same time as players.

The collision between the two is still attracting attention.

After all.

In the original round of "bull and horse battle", both of them played MVP-level performances.

Although they are now entering the twilight of their careers, although neither of them is the absolute core of the team's future, they are still the soul and main players of both teams.

It wasn't until this season, with a significant drop in playing time, that Tim Duncan's average dropped significantly, with points per game falling below double digits for the first time.

Under Popovich, Tim Duncan is still at the heart of many of the team's tactics.

Despite Xiao Shen's strong rise and stealing a lot of possession of Dirk Nowitzki, Dirk Nowitzki still averaged 17.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game as he gradually adapted to his role as a shooter.

Dirk is not old, and he can still fight.

Although both are among the best power forwards in NBA history, the two rarely play against the top.

Dirk Nowitzki belongs to the current NBA trend, a more adaptable space power forward, many times floating outside.

Tim Duncan is closer to the basket and is mostly a center on the court.

But.

What kind of performance the two have today is very worthy of the expectations of old fans.

Their game, watch one less, no one knows, when will not see their game.

But.

The most worthy of fans' expectations is whether Tim Duncan, coupled with LaMarcus Aldridge's San Antonio Spurs interior line, can withstand the unstoppable, NBA new generation, super reckless Xiao Shen impact.

Tim Duncan's offense may be a little worse, but now in the NBA league, there are many strong interior players, but there is no one who can make Tim Duncan deflated.

Even that one, known as his successor, "thick-eyed brother" Anthony Davis, only received a "the future is yours" praise.

In the NBA for nearly two decades, there has not been a single inside player, which embarrasses Tim Duncan.

When he met Xiao Shen today, could he still face it calmly, as always, expressionless?

In his career, Tim Duncan was absolutely inferior in the opposite position against "bald coach" Joe Crawford.

When you meet the rest of the players, you can almost burst.

Even if Dirk Nowitzki, who led the team to stand out in the "Bull and Horse War", played Tim Duncan 90 games, but only 37-53.

In terms of personal data, Tim Duncan averaged 21.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3 assists and 1.9 blocks per game, and Dirk Nowitzki Jr. averaged 21.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.8 blocks per game.

The two shot 52.2% vs 46.3%, with Tim Duncan even better.

Among the players.

Only "Big Shark" Shaq O'Neill, who is now sitting in the broadcast room of TNT, can slightly suppress Tim Duncan.

The two met 62 times in their career, with Tim Duncan only recording 29 wins and 33 losses.

Even so.

Tim Duncan's statistics are even smaller, averaging 23.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game.

Shaq O'Neal only posted 22.1 points, 11.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks.

The confrontation between Duncan and Xiao Shen became the focus of discussion in the TNT TV broadcast room.

"Charles, what do you think, Xiao and Tim's confrontation, which of them do you think is better?"

Sir Charles today is witty.

"I think this question, you have to ask the one next to me, after all, he has more times in his career and against Tim than me, and he has more say. But I personally feel that Thiem is an extremely difficult player, and there are very few players who can take advantage of his defense. "

That's right."

O'Neill did not hesitate and took over the topic: "Tim at his peak, I am also difficult to limit, he also can't prevent my attack.

"If Tim is still at his peak, today is definitely an extremely exciting battle, and they may all burst each other, but..."

"Today's Tim, maybe unable to limit Xiao's attack, I don't know if his attack can burst Xiao, I think Xiao, the performance will be better."

Kenny Smith hasn't spoken yet.

"You're probably right."

Charles continued: "But don't forget, the San Antonio Spurs have Greg. Hearing

this name, O'Neill couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Haha, I know, shark cutting tactics."

Kenny Smith added, and the three burst out laughing.

At this time.

The San Antonio Spurs home arena AT&T Center.

The players who knew each other from the two teams ended the pre-match greetings and the starters stood near the center circle.

With the referee a whistle.

The competition officially begins.

Xiao Shen, who jumped high, easily won the jump ball.

The Dallas Mavericks took the lead in the first attack of the game.

The San Antonio Spurs did not have too many defensive tactical arrangements, people stared at the defense, Xiao Shen fell to the low post, stuck Duncan, and firmly caught Delon Williams' hanging ball.

Turn your back to Tim Duncan.

Xiao Shen didn't say a word.

The [Super Reckless Back Singles] mode is on, find the right time, and hit it hard.

Xiao Shen forcibly pushed Tim Duncan.

Tim Duncan, caught off guard, looked at Xiao Shen, in front of him, and completed a quick turn.

In the front basket, Xiao took a deep step, the ball burst out, and a one-handed heavy dunk smashed the basket buzzing.

Look at everything in front of you.

Tim Duncan is full of his youthful appearance.

At the same time, there were no small waves in my heart.

Though.

Xiao Shen has become famous in recent times, and the team's uniform group, even Popovich, intends to mention this person.

Tim Duncan did not take Xiao Shen too seriously.

No matter how reckless a player is, can he be more ferocious than the big shark?

Xiao Shen just had that goal.

Prove.

He can indeed be more ferocious than the big shark O'Neill.

Tim Duncan glanced at Xiao Shen, silently picked up the ball on the ground, and handed it to Tony Parker, who received it.

Back to the offensive end.

Tim Duncan mentions the high position, giving Tony Parker cover.

Now he has handed over the team's offensive scepter, and the top scorer of the San Antonio Spurs is the new generation of paralyzed player "Kawaii" Leonard.

Leonard, who fell low, faced the defense of Chandler Parsons and shot from mid-range jumper.

Steady progress.

The Dallas Mavericks' offense.

Xiao Shen mentioned the high position, hung up a blocking cooperation for Delon Williams, and suddenly turned down and got rid of Tim Duncan's defense.

Xiao Shen, who received a pass from Delon Williams, ignored Aldridge and Leonard, who came to assist the defense.

Xiao Shen, who was fully activated, actively activated the [Invincible Reckless Collision] skill.

Air 1V2.

Knocked back Leonard, separated by Aldridge, and slammed the ball into the basket with a brutal dunk.

The ball goes on whistle.

2+1！

This ball.

Look directly at Deng who chased after him.
