What Lin Ying didn't expect was that after the ball was blocked, Duncan quickly retrieved it with his quick eyes and hands!

And before Duncan could react, he turned around and hit the ball again.

The basketball hits the board steadily into the basket.

I defended against one wave but failed to defend against the second wave.

Gan!

After three consecutive defensive failures, Lin Ying realized that his current low-post defense was unable to guard against such a low-post killer.

Although from a strategic perspective, he has provided enough consumption, there is no point in continuing to defend alone.

However, although there was no way to prevent it, the head-on confrontation with Duncan improved his understanding of low-post skills.

The first is naturally the use of the elbow, which is not entirely a small move, but more to distract the defender.

Secondly, Duncan has a very strong awareness of the second attack. After completing the first attack, he immediately enters the second attack state.

The advantage of doing this is not only the opportunity to create a second offensive score, but also to greatly curb the opponent's quick defensive counterattack.

After the first quarter, the score on the field was 27 to 20, and the Spurs led by 7 points!

Duncan, played the entire first quarter!

Although the Nuggets later adopted the method of Martin/Nene taking turns to defend + Lin Ying to assist, Duncan still scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks in a single quarter!

This is data for a single section!

The stone Buddha invades like fire!

Although the team doctor was giving him a massage and ice pack after he came off the field.

Such a scene also made Yang Yi and Zhang Weiping couldn't help but sigh.

Although Popovich and Bowen are annoying, it's really hard to hate Duncan.

"We know that Denver fans have nicknamed Lin Ying 'Denver Little Duncan' before. They are really similar, not only in terms of technology, but also in personality."

"They are all 'people who are cruel but don't talk much'."

While the two were talking, the second quarter of the game had already begun.

At this time, the lineups of both sides are:

Spurs: Ginobili, Brent Barry, Amy Udoka, Horry, Kurt Thomas.

Nuggets: Carter Sr., J.R. Smith, Kleiza, Lin Ying, Nene.

Brent Barry was sent to the SuperSonics at the trade deadline, was waived, and was signed back by the Spurs at the trade deadline.

This kind of operation seems very unprofessional. In fact, regarding this, the NBA has already issued the "Gary Payton Clause" before.

The terms stipulate that players can only sign with their parent team 30 days after being traded.

However, this phenomenon has not been eliminated until the "Big Z Clause" is introduced in the future, which clearly stipulates that players who are traded during the first season cannot be signed back after the deadline.

But that was all in the summer of 2010.

When the Spurs' offense came up, Ginobili held the ball and Thomas stepped back for a three-pointer after picking and rolling.

"Whoa!"

Basketball hollow bag.

30 to 20!

The point difference has been stretched to double digits!

In the next round, Lin Ying passed a pass to Smith, and the latter shot from mid-range!

The Spurs protected the defensive rebound. After taking the ball, Ginobili quickly advanced to the frontcourt like a snake and made a layup that caused Carter's thug!

After adjusting his breathing, Ginobili made both free throws.

After he came up in the second quarter, he scored 5 points in a row!

Facts have proved that playing Ginobili as the sixth talent is the best solution for the Spurs.

And having just won the Sixth Man of the Year award, Ginobili looked to be in excellent shape tonight.

32 to 20!

The Nuggets are in danger!

Lin Ying held the ball in the frontcourt and observed it for a while, then gave the ball to Old Carter and then dropped it low.

Another old acquaintance.

When Huo Liding turned his back to Lin Ying, he felt a million points of pain in his jaw.

The scars are still there!

After Lin Ying observed that the Spurs had no intention of double-teaming, he then started to play with the ball in his back.

With heavy shoulders and no strength, Horry was forced to lower his defensive center of gravity, then turned around and used his elbow to push away the defender, and finally turned and hooked toward the free throw line.

Just like a teacher giving a class, the best way to master a knowledge point is to practice it yourself, or even multiple times.

And it has to be done while it’s hot.

Although Horry was already wary of Lin Ying, he didn't expect Lin Ying's outside hook, which he couldn't block with his confrontation and bounce that is about to retire.

"Whoa!"

Lin Ying's touch was also very soft, and he seized the opportunity.

"Hey! Don't tell me, this fight really looks like Duncan!"

Zhang Weiping looked a little excited.

While he was speaking, a very interesting scene happened on the field.

After Lin Ying scored, he turned around and glanced at Duncan on the sidelines.

Originally, Duncan had a towel wrapped around his legs and was looking at the court with wide eyes and concentration.

The two people looked at each other, and then...no one smiled.

Normal people would laugh at this time.

After all, Lin Ying's attack can be regarded as "copying" Duncan's previous attack.

But Duncan was called for a technical foul by "bald" Crawford because he laughed on the bench last year, and now he no longer dares to laugh.

As for Lin Ying, he has never smiled on the court since he entered the NBA.

So this scene is quite interesting to watch.

In the Spurs' position, Ginobili made a sudden attack from Horry in the frontcourt. Horry had a chance to kick the ball in the corner, but he didn't score!

This man who was called "the best role player in history" is no longer good!

Nene protected the defensive rebound, and Lin Ying went to the frontcourt and continued to play in the low post.

Thomas prepared to help defend, but Lin Ying forced him back with a fake pass.

Nene had an operation to remove an egg, but after his comeback he was still as brave as ever. When he went up, Lin Ying probably just passed the alley-oop.

Lin Ying continued to fight one after another in the low position.

Huo Li's reaction was exactly the same as Lin Ying's before. The difference was that he once again used a small move to put his feet in front of Lin Ying's legs.

He does have experience. If Lin Ying were to fight like this, he would not be able to imitate Duncan in any offense.

But at this moment, Lin Ying showed his unique side.

He retracted his legs in advance, then took advantage of the moment when Horry leaned forward to turn towards the baseline, and then slipped past Horry!

This is very spiritual!

And after Lin Ying passed by, he didn't give Horry a second chance. He took off cleanly and dunked, all in one go!

He succeeded in two consecutive singles against Horry!

Duncan's already wide-eyed eyes on the sidelines became even wider now.

And there was some appreciation in that look.

The NBA is the world's highest level basketball platform, but the threshold for this platform is too high.

Without enough talent, you simply can't make it into this league.

But if you watch more, you will find that many people who come in really have a good body, but their brains are not very good.

McGee, DeAndre Jordan, and Bynum are all typical examples, including Smith of the Nuggets.

Therefore, for a player like Duncan who may soon retire after becoming famous, seeing a young player who is talented and smart will inevitably make him a little excited.

If you don’t believe me, ask Kobe Bryant next door!

Ginobili was double-teamed and passed the ball to Thomas. Thomas shot quickly, but Nene's reaction was not slow either.

"Bang!"
