In the game against the Spurs, Coach D started with Tracy McGrady at power forward. Many Lakers fans at the scene felt that they were going to collapse.
This is Duncan!
Unexpectedly, McGrady cut Duncan in the first round when he defended him.
Anyway, whether it was luck or strength, the Lakers fans at the scene must have cheered first and then talked about it.
"TMC!"
"TMC!"
"TMC!"
For a time, the entire Staples resounded with Maizi's cheers.
After Maizi cut off Duncan on the court, he handed the basketball to Iverson in Duncan's doubtful eyes.
Well, after handing the ball to Iverson, it is convenient for the two of them to stare at each other.
Duncan feels that although he is usually a bit boring, Maizi is not a young player like Griffin.
When adults play with children, it is called loving and cute.
He likes to talk about the future with young children.
He is not bored enough to play on the court with an old man like Maizi.
Two old bacons playing on the field, that's too disgusting.
Go, return to defense!
Maizi smiled and followed.
Iverson, who was preparing to dribble the ball forward, suddenly heard another exclamation from the Lakers fans at the scene.
The last time the Lakers fans suddenly screamed in surprise was the last time Maizi cut off Duncan's ball.
They were actually more surprised than the fans that Maizi could cut Duncan's ball.
Unlike Randolph, Duncan rarely makes such mistakes.
Did Maizi do something to Duncan again?
Iverson frowned and looked over.
He was also stunned.
It's not just him.
The Lakers and Spurs players on the court were all stunned.
"Fuck! What's wrong with Maizi's running posture?"
"Damn it, not only are the postures exactly the same, but the rhythm and frequency are also exactly the same!"
"Is Maizi responsible for the Duncan mentality tonight?"
For a time, fans on the Internet were frantically discussing what happened to the four major defenders.
And on the sidelines.
Popovich frowned.
Is Coach D so boring?
"Bobo must be bored, right?"
"Is not it?"
Popovich frowned and looked at Du Kang.
"Of course it's not boring. TMC is debugging and testing."
Test what Duncan's speed is like now.
Test what is Duncan's frequency now.
By the way, adjust your speed and frequency to the same rhythm as Duncan.
All I can say is that Maizi is indeed Maizi, and playing so many games is really not in vain.
The richness of competition experience is staggering.
Popovich looked at Du Kang in confusion, wondering what Du Kang was talking about.
"No, I can't follow Coach D's way of thinking!"
Bobo, you must not be attracted by Coach D and fall into Coach D’s rhythm!
On the court, Duncan stopped and looked back at Maizi with wide eyes.
"Trace on!"
Then, Duncan heard a word from Maizi's mouth.
Trace on?
What the hell?
Replication starts?
Synchronic start?
"Tim, you've changed."
"..."
Duncan's originally wide eyes became even wider.
Howard, who was passing by, laughed like crazy when he saw Duncan being made like this by Maizi at the beginning.
Now you know why this beast hid when he saw this guy, right?
This guy is now a psychopath even worse than that old guy Kobe!
The strange interaction between Maizi and Duncan after the game started shocked the players on both sides of the court.
The same is true for viewers in front of the TV and viewers on the Internet.
"Ever since I followed Coach D, my playing style has become more and more Duncan-like. My fake Duncan actually dares to be so arrogant in front of the real Duncan. I'm really not afraid of being beaten by the real Duncan!"
"Hahahaha, is it possible that Maizi thinks he is the real Duncan and the Spurs' Duncan is fake? Hahahaha..."
The three TNT commentators on the sidelines were actually talking crazily about Maizi imitating Duncan on the court.
"If someone imitates me on the court, I will fuck him!"
"What about you, Charles?"
"Of course I will fuck him too!"
"What Jordan liked to do most back then was the group of Jordan successors, hahahaha..."
On the court, Duncan is certainly not as angry as O'Neal, Barkley and Jordan.
But Maizi was so aggressive in his output.
Duncan felt that it would not be appropriate if he did not engage in wheat wave.
The Lakers attacked, Howard reached the three-point line at the top of the arc, and Spurs center Splitter followed.
Only Duncan and Maizi were left under the basket.
Leonard sticks to Kobe.
Danny Green sticks to Carter.
Parker took a step back to defend Iverson's breakthrough.
Iverson didn't break through and hit the ball to the basket, looking for McGrady.
Same hands holding the ball.
Looking left and right.
The same buttocks are slightly pushed back.
"Fuck!"
"Farke!"
"OMG!"
Audiences from all over the world were shocked when they saw the way Maizi beat Duncan.
“Not only the image, but also the image of God!”
This can be seen from the way Duncan's eyes widened.
"Tim, let me teach you how the real Duncan should have turned around just now."
"..."
After Maizi finished speaking, he used his left foot as a pivot, turned outward, distanced himself, and jumped up slightly.
this is! !
His standard turn around the basket from ten years ago!
Although Duncan was shocked, he did not slack off in defense.
He followed him out and sealed it up.
He is taller than McGrady and he can interfere.
It did interfere.
but!
First there was a clang!
then.
A swipe!
Hit the board!
And it’s a 45-degree throw!
"Farke!"
After seeing Maizi score this goal, the Lakers fans at the scene were silent for just 0.1 seconds!
The three TNT commentators' heads exploded in such a short moment!
"Oh my God, McGrady actually used the most standard Duncan moves to hit Duncan in front of Duncan!"
"It's incredible. McGrady's series of actions just now made me see the number one power forward in history who led the team to win the NBA championship 10 years ago!"
"What did McGrady say to Duncan just before the singles? Let's listen to the live radio. Oh my God! McGrady was actually teaching Duncan how to turn around!"
Listening to the exclamations of the three TNT members coming from the TV, and hearing the cheers from the Lakers audience coming from the TV.
Fans in front of the TV and on the Internet were dumbfounded at this time.
Especially old Spurs fans.
"Due to injuries and weight loss, the way I play now is indeed different from the way I played ten years ago. If I take the strongest Duncan 10 years ago as a benchmark, McGrady's turn is indeed more Duncan."
"As a dog-spur fan, I must have gone crazy. When I saw McGrady's turn and 45-degree shot, I actually thought the jump he just made was so smooth!"
"I am 100% sure now that Coach D asked Maizi to start against Duncan in this game just to get Duncan's mentality!"
"I used to think that anyone who dared to adopt Duncan's mentality during the game must be crazy. Now, I fucking think Coach D might succeed!"
On the court.
After Maizi pretended to be in front of Duncan in Duncan's way, the players from both teams on the court were shocked.
Especially the Spurs players, the way they looked at Maizi was no longer the same as looking at the clown just now.
Maizi's imitation of Duncan just now really made them feel that Maizi was too low-level.
Now, they know that low-level people are not wheat.
It's their thoughts!
However, as a team created by Popovich that has gone through many hardships, even the Black Eight have experienced it.
Of course, the Spurs will not completely wither because of this wave of Maizi.
In other words, it is impossible to let the Spurs languish.
Shock is shock, and wilting is wilting.
It was the Spurs' turn to attack again.
Because the task assigned by Popovich before the game was for Duncan to attack Wheat.
Therefore, Duncan is still responsible for the Spurs' second attack.
Because of Maizi's successful defense against Duncan in the first defense, the Lakers' confidence in Maizi has greatly increased this time.
After receiving the pass from Parker, Duncan took a step toward the basket. He did not turn around like before, but turned half and jumped slightly.
"Duncan is going to hook up!"
As an old rival, O'Neal knew what Duncan was going to do just by looking at this pre-movement.
Then, O'Neal made a shocking discovery.
Just now, someone actually predicted Duncan faster than he did!
McGrady on the court could predict Duncan faster than his old rival who had been in love with Duncan for five years!
Duncan half-turned and jumped in the air, stretched out his left hand to fight, and hooked with his right hand.
Then, Duncan in the air was surprised to find that there was no one behind him to help him!
On the sidelines of the court, I saw Maizi who suddenly took a step back, then immediately jumped forward to block the shot.
Popovich is dumbfounded!
Duncan, who was on the hook at this time, didn't know what was happening behind him.
But Popovich saw it clearly!
Snap!
McGrady jumped forward and slapped Duncan's hook away.
The ball didn't even leave his hands before he was slapped away by McGrady!
O'Neal stared at McGrady on the court with wide eyes.
The audience stared at McGrady on the court with wide eyes.
Duncan's hook, which was so clever but not very skillful, with a heavy sword and no edge, was actually blocked!
Popovich looked at Du Kang with wide eyes on the sidelines.
What the hell is going on?
On the court, even Deng Dai himself was dumbfounded.
No one knows the level of his hook better than himself. Even O'Neal at his peak is helpless against his standard hook with his left hand and right hand.
Then, his hook was blocked by McGrady?
"Du, what on earth is going on?"
Clifford and Ham were equally dumbfounded at this time.
Du Kang did not answer, but smiled.
Strictly speaking, Maizi didn't prevent Duncan's hook just now.
Duncan's extremely standard hook hand with no skill, heavy sword or edge was impossible to guard against.
At the very least, with Maizi's height, even if he has a very long arm span, there is nothing he can do if he is controlled by Duncan. After all, after O'Neal is controlled, there is nothing he can do.
Therefore, it was actually McGrady who predicted Duncan's hook just now.
Therefore, this is what shocked Hamm and Clifford.
Popovich next to him was also shocked by this.
Prejudgment?
Is it possible to predict in advance?
If a player wants to predict another player's actions, watching video is useless.
Even watching 10,000 games is useless!
You have to play at least hundreds, or even thousands of games, right?
And it has to be in direct opposition!
So, what is going on!
The only possibility is yes!
Popovich looked at Du Kang in shock.
"Bobo, now I say it might be better for Duncan to follow me. You won't think I'm hacking you anymore, right?"
"..."
Looking at the smile on Du Kang's face, Popovich was speechless at this time.
The research on Duncan has reached such a terrifying level!
How deep is Coach D's love for Duncan?
Popovich was trembling.
For a head coach to study a player to such an extent, this is already pathological!
Popovich thought his pursuit of Kobe was already very intense.
but now……
Coach D vs. Tim…
At this time, Duncan, who was blocked by Maizi on the court, actually looked at Du Kang on the sidelines, his eyes filled with shock.
Of course he wouldn't believe that McGrady understood him.
Obviously, everything McGrady learned was taught by Coach D!
It's because McGrady came to coach D that he became so Duncan-like.
Therefore, at this time, even the Lakers fans at the scene were shouting Du Kang's name.
"Coach D!"
"Coach D!"
"Coach D!"
For a time, the focus of the game between the Lakers and Spurs once again focused on Du Kang, the head coach.
"Coach D's research on Duncan has reached an incredible level!"
"This is definitely not something that can be researched in one or two years, or even five or ten years!"
"Coach D once said that his favorite player is Westbrook. Now I think there is something wrong with this statement!"
"Shaq, how would you feel if a head coach studied you to this extent?"
"Shocked? Scared?"
"No, moved, hahahaha!"
O'Neal laughed loudly and finished speaking. Kenny Smith next to him was shocked, while Barkley was thoughtful and finally nodded.
On the court.
Lakers offense.
After McGrady blocked Duncan, Kobe picked up the backboard.
Facing the Spurs with Parker, Leonard and Green.
Fast break is certainly not a good option.
Since Maizi was trained by the coach to be a valuable weapon against Duncan in this game, of course we should wait for Maizi to fall into place.
Therefore, under Leonard's pressure, after Kobe handed the ball to Iverson, he took Leonard to the bottom corner to smoke.
Although Kobe has been spoiled by Coach D, the Spurs still used Leonard to nudge him throughout the process.
This shows Popovich's caution and prudence.
The Lakers are all waiting for Maizi to fall into place.
But Maizi, who was following Duncan, signaled that the Lakers players should attack on their own and leave him alone.
“Tim, do you know the Flying Devils from the Wake Forest Demon Deacons?”
"..."
Duncan, who was in a somewhat complicated mood, looked at Maddie next to him again with wide eyes.
not good!
After McGrady said that, Duncan wanted to get stuck.
But Maizi's current acceleration of 80% is too fast compared to Duncan's current speed!
Maybe the original flying devil can trap Tracy McGrady.
It is absolutely impossible for the current Duncan to stop the current McGrady.
McGrady, who was caught outside the three-point line, signaled the Lakers players to attack on their own.
The Lakers' tactical operation put the ball in Carter's hands.
Carter faced Danny Green's defense and made a mid-range shot.
At this time, Split and Howard were competing for rebounds.
Just after Split trapped Howard behind him.
Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind.
"careful!"
Duncan?
Be careful about what?
I've stuck Howard, what should I be careful about?
Then, he heard the sound of wind coming from behind!
Resisting the urge to look back, he raised his hands to pick up the rebound.
But!
There was a huge impact from behind, making Split unsteady and about to fly out.
When he looked up, a pair of big hands had already picked off the backboard above his head.
Split only knows now.
He was pinned down!
who?
Who can get rebounds over his head like that? !
Bang!
Split, who was knocked out, finally turned around, saw clearly who was snatching the rebound away from his head, and rode him to complete a dunk.
Maddie!
The man with his hands hanging on the basket is Tracy McGrady!
"This way of making up deductions, oh my God!"
"Oh my god, is this McGrady? No, this dunk style, this twisting upper body waving right hand celebration in the air when coming off the rim, this is Duncan, this is Duncan before 2001!"
"T-Mac just imitated the way Duncan played 10 years ago, and now he's imitating the way Duncan played 13 years ago. Oh my God!"
"I now think he looks more like Duncan than Duncan himself. Even die-hard Spurs fans will feel that McGrady looks more like Duncan than Duncan himself!"
Yes, even the Duncan that Spurs fans are most familiar with is the Duncan who is the number one power forward in history, not the old man Duncan now.
The TNT trio exclaimed that Maizi now looks more like Duncan than Duncan, and there is nothing wrong with him at all.
The Spurs fans in front of the TV were shocked.
Popovich on the sidelines was also shocked.
He had always felt that no one could understand Duncan better than him.
But now, what's going on?
In the two offenses and defenses of the Lakers and Spurs, Coach D actually let McGrady dominate the game in Duncan's way!
"There is only one Duncan in this game, and that Duncan is on the Lakers."
Recalling what Du Kang said to him before the game started.
Popovich is really dumbfounded now.
Coach D is not trying to mess with his mentality!
No, it should be more than just to mess with his mentality!
How is Popovich feeling right now.
Teacher Yang Huahua’s explanation of psychological flow in the Penguin live broadcast room is very appropriate.
"The expression on Popovich's face now, you can understand that there is a man who knows your wife or girlfriend better than you do, and he knows much more, so I think everyone understands. "
In two consecutive offenses and defenses, McGrady used Duncan's method to beat him, and the Spurs were really intolerable.
Especially Split, who was dunked by Tracy McGrady just now.
Split served the baseline ball with some shaking hands.
Stealed directly by Iverson.
The Lakers immediately launched a fast break on the spot.
Iverson hit a cross ball to find McGrady.
See this cross from Iverson.
See McGrady suddenly start rushing to the basket.
Looking at Split rushing onto the field to defend.
Ginobili, who was sitting on the sidelines, stood up excitedly.
This was the dunk when he passed the ball across the floor to Duncan, and Duncan dunked on the AK47!
Iverson's passing was better than his, and his ground-breaking pass wasn't that cool yet, so it could only be regarded as frivolous.
But McGrady!
Catch the ball!
Take off!
The shot that jumped up against Split was a one-handed buckle!
"OMG!"
After hanging the buckle and getting off the basket, the movements of waving his arms with one hand are exactly the same!
He is exactly the same as Duncan back then!
6 to 0!
At this time, all the Spurs players on the court were stunned.
Although they don't know Duncan as well as Ginobili, as Spurs players, how could they not have watched the Big Brother video.
McGrady is really playing like his big brother at his peak!
The game between the Lakers and Spurs continues.
This time it was Duncan who served the baseline ball.
After serving the baseline ball, Duncan entered the court and touched the heads of Leonard, Green and Split one by one.
The young Spurs players who were a little panicked instantly felt calm.
There's no way, even a Bulls player would be panicked if he saw a player who looked more like Jordan than his boss on the other side.
"TMC, your performance just now was wonderful."
This time, Duncan did not implement Popovich's strategy of beating Tracy McGrady.
Duncan took the initiative to change the team's style of play on the court.
Since Bobo's tactics are wrong, he should change his tactics. It's very simple.
Duncan and Parker pick and roll. Since singles can't work, then they use tactics.
You are very familiar with me, how can you be familiar with Parker?
Seeing Duncan and Parker pick and roll, Popovich breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines.
But almost at the same time.
Parker, who was used to passing the ball back to Duncan to organize offense after the pick-and-roll, was shocked.
His pass was intercepted!
And it's the kind of interception where someone predicts the passing route!
He and Duncan have had a tacit understanding for more than ten years, and his passes to Duncan sometimes made mistakes.
But it definitely shouldn’t be such a mistake!
And the person who stole the ball was McGrady who almost beat them up with Duncan's method just now!
"Maddie stole the ball!"
"Tramp rushed to the three-point line, McGrady entered the three-point line! Tracy McGrady is going to dunk!"
"No, McGrady didn't attack, McGrady is waiting for someone!"
"Oh my God, Tracy McGrady is waiting for the Spurs defenders to get down!"
Two steps inside the 45-degree three-point line on the left.
Looking at Leonard who had returned to defense at this time.
A pleasant smile appeared on Maddie's face.
"Do you know how Duncan dunked on Ben Wallace?"
What? !
Leonard's eyes were dull and he also stared.
A picture instantly appeared in my mind.
McGrady is going to break through to the right!
Leonard starts!
McGrady indeed broke through to the right!
Leonard did not lose his position. Leonard was always in front of McGrady, stuck in position, just like Ben Wallace defending Duncan.
but!
It's no use!
Even if you haven't lost your position, even if your defense is in place.
However, with such a large weight, it can still be so sudden, and the impact can be imagined.
Leonard, who retreated to the basket against McGrady's defense, was already sweating a little.
He is definitely strong!
Just like Ben Wallace back then, he was also considered strong!
But!
"Maddie jumped up forcefully!"
"Leonard also wanted to jump up, but McGrady held him down!"
"OMG!"
Bang!
McGrady was just like Duncan back then, forcing Leonard to hang on with one hand!
And Leonard!
Just like Ben Wallace back then, he was dunked to the ground by Tracy McGrady!
"This, this, this..."
Popovich on the sidelines was already dumbfounded.
"Peak Duncan! This is Peak Duncan! 10 years later, we see Peak Duncan again!!!"
Barkley, O'Neal and Kenny Smith were going crazy on the sidelines.
The audience in front of the TV and the audience on the Internet are also crazy.
"Oh my God, peak Duncan appears opposite the Spurs!"
Touched, nostalgic, sad, painful, memories...
At this time, the Spurs audience in front of the TV felt like they were about to collapse.
And on the court.
The much-anticipated coach D walked to the sidelines and came to Duncan's side.
Seeing Du Kang suddenly walking up to Duncan, Popovich, who was originally dumbfounded, immediately came to his senses.
What is Coach D doing in front of him?
Coach D is talking to Duncan!
Coach D finished with a smile.
Duncan's dull eyes suddenly brightened and then fell silent again.
Popovich, who was next to him, saw all this and saw the flash of Duncan's eyes, and his face turned green with anger!
Damn it!
NTR Duncan in front of the second senior brother!
Ham was so excited at this time that he was trembling with excitement and fear.
Farke!
So fucking arrogant!
What Du said just now was so arrogant!
"Tim, do you want to play like Duncan?"
…
…
This is the second update today, and there will be a third update today, which should be around 11:30.
(End of chapter)
