I Am in the Same Year as Duncan Show - Vol 2 Chapter 42

Chapter 42 The eye-catching Xu Liang and Duncan

Unlike the perimeter players of later generations, it is possible to become a superstar only by attacking to a super level.

After all, the defensive loopholes caused by outside players can be made up by some players’ defensive rotations and the last barrier of inside players.

There are many examples of such superstars, such as Nash.

Nash’s offensive strength and built-in half offensive system make Nash have an invincible performance on the offensive end.

But again, Nash’s defensive strength is not satisfactory due to his physical fitness.

Of course, Nash is not unwilling to defend. Nash is very defensive and has defensive consciousness.

But because of his physical condition, he can’t support him to complete these defensive choices and defensive actions.

This is different from the defensive state of a certain superstar in a certain period of time.

That superstar has no physical limitations.

Whether it is defensive awareness or physical fitness, it is enough to support him to become a top defender.

Even if he puts most of his energy on the offensive end, with his defensive ability and physical condition, he can at least ensure that his defensive level is maintained above the standard line.

And it is clear that during that period, the defensive performance of the super perimeter was a bit too much to criticize.

Of course, these are just some outside lines for later generations, and most of the superstars of outside players in this era are both offensive and defensive.

There are very few who are particularly biased. If outside players are particularly biased on defense, it is naturally impossible to show offensively with the data performance that a superstar should have.

Conversely, if an outside super giant is particularly focused on offense, it will also become an offensive breakthrough point for any team or any star outside.

In any case, this outside player cannot be recognized as a superstar.

Unless this superstar relies solely on defense or offense alone, he can determine the format of the game on the entire court.

But this kind of player has not appeared a few in the entire NBA history, which is lower than the probability of the historical level of the leader.

After the game between the Spurs and the Jazz, the 1997-1998 season officially started.

As the league opened for the Bulls and the Jazz, the two relatively weaker teams selected by the league had completed counter-kills in the opening game.

The Bulls were counter-killed by the Celtics, and the Jazz were counter-killed by the Spurs.

It’s just that the Celtics completed the counter-kill more by accident.

The Spurs are different. The Spurs have shown their strength this season.

is obviously also the super strong team of the first echelon in the entire league, and is also a strong contender for the championship this season.

Of course, the Spurs still need to go through the constant tests of various strong teams, such as the Lakers with O’Neal and Kobe.

For example, Peyton’s supersonic speed.

For example, a walker with Reggie Miller.

For example, the Knicks with Ewing.

For example, Olajuwon and Barkley’s rockets.

For example, the Heat with Pat Riley and Mourning.

Of course there is the defending champion, the Bulls, the last champion rusher of the second dynasty.

So it is really difficult to win this season.

The core players of all the teams mentioned above are still at their peak.

and they are also strong playoff teams that have been very stable in recent years.

This means that these teams are not only strong in their core players.

The tactical system of these teams is also very proficient, and the tacit understanding between the players is high enough.

Of course, for the Spurs this season.

Whether it is Popovich or the Spurs players.

Before Xu Liang showed enough strength, he didn’t set his goal for this season as the championship.

But when Xu Liang showed that he has enough strength, and through the Jazz game, it proved that Xu Liang can adapt to the intensity of the NBA game.

And complete the operation of the tactical system and the display of strength under this intensity of the game.

This has allowed the Spurs to shift their goals from the coaching staff to the players.

The championship has become the only pursuit of the Spurs this season.

The changes in the Spurs’ goals did not affect Xu Liang.

After all, when Xu Liang himself joined the Spurs, he already planned to use the strength of the Spurs to enter the finals.

Xu Liang personally never thought that he was a key factor for the Spurs to change their season goals and begin to prepare for an impact on the championship.

The day after the Spurs and Jazz games ended.

Xu Liang was put off for a long time. After all, the antagonism against the Jazz really exceeded Xu Liang’s current standards of physical fitness and physical adaptability.

On the second day after the game ended, the external media and news exploded directly.

All the news and reports are talking about the two rookies of the Spurs.

Duncan, the number one pick with super data in the first game, has even begun to discuss where is Duncan’s future historical status?

There is also the No. 21 show that the Spurs Taobao found, the cornerstone-type inside player, Xu Liang.

It’s just that these reports have automatically ignored Xu Liang’s own shortcomings as an Asian player.

and Xu Liang’s physical deficiencies in this game ~www.mtlnovel.com~, but to publicize that Xu Liang only took 15 minutes in this game to obtain data that most of the insiders in the entire league can’t get.

Someone also threatened that the Spurs deliberately suppressed Xu Liang’s playing time.

This kind of team does not deserve to have Xu Liang, a cornerstone inside player.

Obviously these last words were deliberately proclaimed by those NBA teams that envy and hate the Spurs and Popovich.

They hope that in this way, Xu Liang will be disgusted with the Spurs and Popovich, so as to win Xu Liang’s opportunity for themselves.

Although this possibility is very low, it is possible that Xu Liang or Popovich will suddenly have a brain twitch!

The hustle and bustle of the outside world did not affect Xu Liang’s normal training rhythm.

After all, in this game just now, Xu Liang clearly felt his own shortcomings.

The first problem is physical fitness. Even after Xu Liang has been losing fat and gaining muscle for three months, his physical fitness is sufficient for regular-season competitions.

But obviously, this game between the Jazz and the Spurs is not a regular season game.

So Xu Liang’s physical problems were thoroughly exposed in this game, although outside reports did not say.

But Xu Liang believes that most of the teams in the league must have noticed his flaw?

Secondly, there are fewer offensive options and a single offensive method.

In the whole game between Xu Liang and the Jazz, apart from responding to Malone’s attack, there was not a very tough inside attack.

is more to choose to float outside to shoot.
