I Am in the Same Year as Duncan Show - Chapter 32

Chapter 32 The Envy of Sloan

And if you can match Xu Liang with teammates like James, Irving or teammates like Curry, Thompson, Durant.

Xu Liang can also win many championships, and still win these championships as a core player.

Back to the current Spurs, Xu Liang’s teammate is Duncan, the top power forward who has combined the advantages of Green and Love, and has been further strengthened.

The super center David Robinson who can be ranked top in the entire NBA history.

Johnson is just a little weaker than Irving’s top point guard in his prime.

is coupled with Jackson, who has explosive physical fitness and has a very strong offensive ability against the basket.

Actually, Xu Liang’s teammates are now the weaker position only at the small forward position.

And all these configurations make the Spurs come after 2015 at the current level of these players.

It is very likely that the NBA championships in the next five to ten years will be won by the Spurs.

Of course the Warriors are very strong, the Cavaliers are also very strong, Curry is very strong, Durant is very strong, Thompson is very strong, James is also very strong, and Owen is also very strong.

But it is a pity that the inside lines of these two teams will be completely blown when facing the current Spurs team, and the rebounding gap will be pulled to the limit.

If the two teams want to win this Spurs team, they need to maintain a very high perimeter shooting percentage.

Maybe the Cavaliers are slightly better than the Warriors in rebounding ability.

The outside line hit rate requirement may be lower.

But the Cavaliers want to win this Spurs team, the outside offense still needs to account for the main offensive method.

And this is very difficult for any team, or any team in history, to maintain a high shooting percentage from outside.

Of course, this Spurs team is in the late 90s. The four major centers are still at their peak.

There is even a super center, O’Neal, who has not yet fully entered the peak period, and his strength is still rising.

This makes the Spurs look at the very strong inside strength, and they don’t seem to have such a big advantage in the entire league.

The timeout ends.

The Spurs and Jazz players returned to the court, and the first offense after the timeout was initiated by the Jazz.

still started with the pick and roll offense, Stockton ended with a mid-range jumper.

This game until now, Stockton’s mid-range shooting percentage is pretty good.

So far Stockton has made three hits in seven mid-range shots.

And this time is his eighth mid-range shot.

Xu Liang also had no time to make up the defense, still choosing the position to grab defensive rebounds.

It’s just this time Stockton made a shot and hit the board.

Stockton’s mid-range shooting percentage in this game came to 50%.

And Stockton’s goal also brought the Spurs’ offensive horn to a halt.

The point difference returned to three points.

The Spurs attacked, Xu Liang continued to stand at the top of the arc to open up space for Duncan’s low singles.

Duncan’s low post was very easy, easily wiping out Greg’s defense and rushing into the three-second zone.

Only this time after Duncan broke into the three-second zone, he kept holding the basketball high without putting the ball back to his waist.

And this also frustrated Stockton’s original plan to replicate the previous defense.

Duncan came to the edge of the three-second zone and directly raised the basketball two steps into the basket with one-handed dunk.

At this time, when he came to Stockton in the three-second zone, there was no good defense against Duncan who was rushing up.

The next few offenses of the Spurs ended with Duncan’s inside singles, although Duncan did not keep hitting every single inside attack.

But in Duncan’s current state of adequate physical strength, Duncan hit four of the six consecutive low singles.

The Jazz, relying on Stockton’s good touch in this game, actually supported Duncan’s continuous offensive impact.

came to the Spurs offense again.

Because the Jazz withstood Duncan’s multiple singles offenses, the score is still one point behind the Spurs.

But Popovich was actually a little anxious on the sidelines at this time.

After all, the physical consumption of inside singles is very huge.

In addition, Duncan did not get enough rest because of Xu Liang, and his physical exertion was even greater.

and six consecutive low singles, also made Duncan’s physical exhaustion further intensified.

So this time the Spurs offense is no longer Duncan’s low singles.

Instead, he started to make tactical moves with Xu Liang as the core.

As I said before, because Xu Liang is standing outside the three-point line, he still has a good offensive threat.

So it can open up enough interior space for the entire Spurs offense.

So after Duncan stopped playing inside individual singles, other Spurs players didn’t just stand on the outside to make room for Duncan.

Instead, he started to make interspersed running positions.

Duncan has also become a pick-and-roll player at this time.

Continuously help the Spurs outside players to move in order to get enough offensive opportunities.

Jazz player, because the Spurs suddenly changed their offensive tactics. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

was a little flustered in the defensive position for a while.

After all, the stance one-on-one defense is definitely much easier than this kind of complex tactical movement defense.

At this time, Johnson of the Spurs took advantage of the temporary panic of the Jazz defense and obtained a good offensive opportunity.

Xu Liang, who was standing on the outside line, also seized this opportunity in time.

passed the ball to Johnson, who was running to a 45° angle on the left.

After receiving the ball, Johnson stopped the jumper and completed the Spurs offense this time.

After 　　 scored, the Spurs quickly returned to defense.

And the Jazz players on the court, at this time they all looked at Sloan who was standing on the sidelines.

And Sloan has no expression on his face at this time, just infinitely complaining in his heart.

How come Popovich has so many moths?

And how he has such vision and luck, he picked Duncan and Xu Liang, two such outstanding rookies.

Don’t say anything about Duncan. Whoever wins the No. 1 lottery will pick him this year, but how did he find Xu Liang?

Excellent outside shooting ability, good rebounding ability inside the card position, and a good understanding of the tactical system.

Although I still don’t know how Xu Liang’s low singles and inside offensive level are?

But if I want to come here with Xu Liang’s height, wingspan and weight, it shouldn’t be too bad.

at least better than Greg.

Envy, jealous, hate, I want to find one or two high-quality insiders are very difficult.

can only use a blue-collar meat shield like Greg to start.

And look at Popovich and Spurs again, it’s really different from the coach!
