Chapter 294 Face-to-Face Death
Duncan suddenly began to show his power without saying a sound, which caused tsunami-like shouts to break out in the AT&T Center Arena, which had been silent for a long time.
"MVP! MVP!" GoSpursGo!" GoSpursGo!" The sound in all directions began to fill the whole stadium, and the silent enthusiasm began to be ignited by a hard stone.
That's their leader. Although Duncan rarely says in front of the fans that he must win the championship and lead the team to make history, this guy has always done a lot.
The Spurs' ability to maintain such a strong strength in such a dangerous western power after David Robinson's retirement is directly related to this taciturn guy.
It doesn't mean that he won't show it with practical actions. Even in the years of facing the Lakers' three consecutive championships, the Spurs are one of the most important opponents of Phil Jackson and OK.
No one has ever thought of Duncan as a real stone and left him alone because he didn't like to say anything. Anyone who has such an idea is either an idiot or a psychopath.
Even Sprewell's crazy old guy had to give a thumbs up to his former opponent. In the west, he, Kassel, Garnett, such a strong lineup, and he was a little nervous when he met the Spurs, not because of Popovich's magic command skills, but because of Duncan. .
"A big guy with a solid heart." This is Sprewell's old madman's evaluation of Duncan. It's not very accurate, but it's definitely true.
Everyone knows that the Spurs are a hard bone, just because there is a stone-hard guy like Duncan. Anyone who wants to be wild in the AT&T central stadium has to ask whether this stone agrees or not.
Duncan did not roar, roar, or match his middle finger, but Chen Feng stared at this guy's eyes face to face. He knew that the hard stone had responded most powerfully to his counterattack.
The action of pointing to the scoreboard has said everything. Duncan is telling this evil boy that from now on, he is going to fight back. Pay attention to the score. He will not let the Spurs get into trouble.
And the beating of Weber just now was the best counterattack. When the stuffy gourd began to lose his temper, it was definitely a very tricky trouble. He didn't have to speak, but it was enough to make everyone vigilant.
It is said that Duncan is a silent leader, and now the leader has decided to lead his team forward.
Previously, whether it was Parker's agility or Ginobili's ghost, it was far less than this hardness.
When Duncan stands up and prepares to lead the team forward, you can understand that a guy who doesn't like to talk much, his silence is also a strong force.
Chen Feng had not yet begun to kowtow to Duncan face to face, but Rivers had frowned.
An attack just widened the gap between the two teams to three points, but the impact just now made Weber, who had just played for a few minutes, suffer a big loss.
Originally, he was defending behind his back, but Duncan suddenly attacked, which made Weber a little unprepared. Originally, he was in a stable position, but such an impact made him suffer a hidden loss in the confrontation.
In fact, it's not that Duncan is bad. It's just that the two big guys bump into each other. On the defensive side, they always have to suffer a little loss, and Weber's old injuries are also old, and he is not young. Naturally, he doesn't have an advantage.
It was such an impact that made Weber's ankle sprain a little. Although it was not serious, Weber could only tell Rivers that something was wrong with him. Weber had lingering fear about the injury.
It was not Rivers' intention to send such an old guy to fight with Duncan. He just wanted to use Weber's experience to limit the other party.
As a result, Weber's performance exceeded Rivers' expectations, but Duncan was about to start to show off, but Weber was slightly injured. Although it didn't seem like a big problem, no one dared to be careless.
After all, Weber, who is already old, has long been injured, and his body is not as troublesome as Chen Feng.
Rivers did not dare to be careless, so he could only choose to pause and let Weber come down for treatment. Although his ankle was a little sprained, it is not long before the playoffs. The reduction of staff can be avoided.
The main reason is that the age of the Celtics now determines that they don't have much playoff experience. Even Pierce has only played one Eastern Conference final.
The remaining wild boy, such as Chen Feng, Novak and Ron, these pure novices, have completely zero playoff experience. Old guys with playoff experience like Weber can easily be easily compromised.
However, Rivers was a little surprised that Webb was in good condition in the past few minutes of this game. Now he is really reluctant to replace such an old guy who can cause trouble for Duncan.
But think about the playoffs, and then look at the front of you, Rivers is not the kind of guy who is hot-headed for a regular season. He wants to win, but he pays too much, which is definitely not worth the loss.
Even if Rivers is not a standard profiteer, he knows how to advance and retreat. Weber may stick to it, but no one can tell what the future problems there are. For the sake of insurance, Rivers still decided to replace him.
"Kendrick, get ready to play and replace Chris." Compared with Jefferson, who hasn't recovered, now Rivers has decided to replace Perkins, and Comrade Erpang is still relatively able to carry it.
"Try to carry Duncan under the basket, don't let him play too easily, remember this." Rivers replaced Webb and Perkins, who paid more attention to defense, just wanted to continue to put some pressure on Duncan.
If Duncan is bringing up the momentum of the Spurs, it will not only be a big trouble for the Celtics. Whether Duncan can be restrained is the key to this game.
"Head, give me that guy." Rivers was still explaining Perkins' task, but Chen Feng didn't care so much and threw the words to Rivers so bluntly.
"Your task is to kill Elson, not Duncan." Siberdeau and Rivers agree on this issue. The inside line of the Spurs, Elson is a weakness. You should seize this and hit it.
"Elson is not the soul of the Spurs. Killing him is just another person, but if you kill Duncan, it will definitely make them collapse." Chen Feng did not give in.
This is not Chen Feng's ability to flatter Perkins. Erpang is such a kind person. Chen Feng can't point the finger at his teammates. It's just a matter of fact. Compared with Perkins, Chen Feng obviously thinks that he is the most suitable to fight with Duncan, especially when Duncan points his finger at the scoreboard. At the beginning, this was his battle against Chen Feng. There was no dialogue between the two sides, but they had already targeted Chen Feng.
Avoidance? That's not Chen Feng's habit. What's more, Elson's side has been bullied by him under the basket and can't take care of himself. Why destroy a guy whose will is about to be defeated?
With that energy, it's better to fight with the opponent's trump card. In the face of Duncan's counterattack, Chen Feng did not intend to fight a shrinking turtle, so even if Rivers did not agree, he would touch Duncan.
"I only have one request for me to deal with that guy. I can't promise to kill him, but at least I dare to say that it will make him very uncomfortable. Only by making him play awkward can we have a chance."
Chen Feng did not intend to give Rivers a chance to refute himself. He just wanted to fight. If Rivers and Siberdeau disagreed with him to deal with Duncan, he will definitely make his own decision on the court later.
Anyway, Chen Feng didn't commit the problem of not obeying the command once or twice. It's not a big deal to do it again. At most, he was cleaned up by Rivers afterwards.
Rivers knows too well what Chen Feng is thinking, but what makes him decide is what Chen Feng said. He may not be able to guarantee to kill Duncan, but the wild boy will definitely make his opponent very awkward.
"There are still a few minutes left in the second quarter. I'll give him to you. If you can't handle it, don't make trouble for me next time I say anything!" Rivers looked at the scoreboard and said to Chen Feng.
Instead of letting the boy twitch on the court by himself, it's better to let him touch Duncan. Whether he can deal with the opponent, Rivers still has a chance to save him.
ma's! Do it! Rivers knew very well that he was not as much as Popovich in the on-the-spot command. In this case, it's better to risk it and cut the stone with the sharpest knife in his hand!
Anyway, either rolled up the blade or smashed the other party. Since the wild boy dares to fight with him, give him this opportunity! Let's see if the core of your Spurs is hard, or my knife is sharper!
"Kendrick, you go and pester Elson and create an opportunity for Chen Feng to take as many balls as possible on the offensive end and hit the opponent's basket!" Now that the task of single-handedly with Duncan is given to Chen Feng, Rivers will give him space, give him the privilege of holding the ball and attacking, so that this boy can exert all his energy. !
"Remember! I'll give you these few minutes to see if you can put what you said into practice. After explaining everything, Rivers said such a sentence with Chen Feng's arm.
"Head, if I was so easily scared by a person, I might not have punched O'Neal."
"I beat that shark. Now if I touch a stone, can I make him frighten me? You don't know until you play the game, but if he wants to win, it's impossible not to pay a little price. Look.
Rivers is still playing drums in his heart, but Chen Feng is now in a state of war. The temperament hidden in his bones is to fight hard with his opponent and never retreat!
Since the opponent wants to fight! Then fight! Whoever retreats one after another is a coward! I have never been afraid of anyone in my life! It's just a dead end. I'm afraid of an egg!
The Celtics shouted a pause, but in the AT&T Center Arena, "GoSpursGo!" The cheers have never weakened, and even after seeing Weber replaced, the shouts became more and more high.
Everyone saw the trouble that Webb caused to the Spurs after playing. Such an old opponent has now been replaced, and he is still a short fat man, which is definitely a blessing for the Spurs fans.
Where is Duncan's level? Jefferson can't handle it. Do you expect Perkins to do it?
Not to mention that the Spurs fans are a little unimistic about Erpang's ability. Even Popovich did not feel much threat to such a substitution arrangement on the sidelines. If he is replaced by Jefferson, he may still be a little offensive.
But with a short fat man who is mainly responsible for defense, is Rivers going to use such a guy to keep an eye on Duncan? Popovich didn't know if Rivers was a little whimsICAL, but at least it was unrealistic.
The defense against each other is not so defensive. A super insider in the golden period of his career meets a cool-working blue-collar worker. As long as that guy is not possessed by God, he will be completely blown up by Duncan.
At least in the one-on-one confrontation, Perkins has no advantage except that he is a little more solid than Duncan. From height, bounce, to offensive ability, he is a big supporting role.
Jefferson is at a loss in the face of Duncan's moving footsteps and the attack under the basket. Can Perkins solve these problems? If he can, Rivers will definitely not leave this guy until now.
In this league, there are not two insiders who want to prevent Duncan, but there are few who can successfully achieve that. Duncan's road to the championship is also stepping on countless talents to reach the peak.
Popovich has never been the kind of arrogant person, but in the face of Rivers' substitution, he still signaled Duncan on the sidelines. If he is in the right position, he will blow up the short fat man and don't show any mercy.
This is not that the big boss is killing the little monster. If the Spurs want to win, they have to defeat their opponents. No matter who they are facing now, Popovich is the same routine.
But before Popovich could go to the sidelines and explain some tactics to Duncan, Duncan was blocked by an outrageous guy over there.
"You can also see the score clearly, so that I have to remind you later." Chen Feng looked at Duncan's expressionless face and didn't say much. He just pointed to the scoreboard with his finger.
A mindless sentence, but Duncan frowned for the first time and looked at the bald boy who turned away, because he could hear what was contained in this sentence.
Just like he pointed to the scoreboard, he was reminding Chen Feng to look at the score, I'm going to start scoring, and the boy is the same now. Just now, he was telling Duncan that you should be careful.
"Pay more attention on the defensive end. Without Chris, the boy's active attack will increase." At this time, Popovich could only tell Elson to pay attention to the direction of defending Chen Feng.
Compared with Elson, what Popovich asked Duncan to pay attention to is to blow up Perkins more reasonably on the offensive end. It is best to take advantage of the gap of this substitution to pull the score away again and put psychological pressure on the opponent.
Originally, the Celtics' counterattack just now did cause a lot of trouble for the Spurs. A small ** narrowed the gap between the two teams to only 3 points.
This strong offensive ability made Popovich a little nervous. Now the old guy knows very well that the rise of the Celtics this season is by no means unreasonable.
The Spurs, which can play the most defensive efficiency in the league, can be like this. The Bostonians, who were spectators outside the playoffs last season, now contain energy that can surprise many people.
Especially in the entanglement of the inside line, if it hadn't been for Duncan's strong beating Weber just now, even once, Popovich thought that his basket would be lost and would be defeated by those Bostonians!
Now that Webber's end is replaced by Perkins, as long as Popovich is not an idiot, he should know to seize such an opportunity to let the Spurs launch a wave of attack again** and completely drown the opponent.
As for Elson's side, now Popovich can only let Chen Feng beat his players hard. There is nothing he can do. There is only Duncan in the inside line of the Spurs. As the main coach, he doesn't want Duncan to be a cooli.
If this is still the era of the Twin Towers, Popovich doesn't mind a big man to carry such a bald animal as Chen Feng. Now there is only one Duncan. This old man is reluctant to do that.
Before the lineup is rotated, keep the opponent's momentum down. This is Popovich's task for Duncan and for the whole team. He needs his guys to play harder!
Attack! In the cheers of the audience, if Popovich wants to see the score open again, it's better to hold the Celtics' life in the palm of his hand and pinch it fiercely to let these guys accept defeat here!
But in the first attack after the suspension, Chen Feng made Popovich, who was on the sidelines, subconsciously frown.
Popovich has been paying attention to several new players in the league since the All-Star Game. From Roy, Rondo to Chen Feng, this bald boy has left a deep impression on him.
In addition to being an Asian, the destructive power of the boy is simply more than many seedlings in the United States. Little guys like Roy and Foye, if they are put in other draft years, they can almost win the best rookie, but with the existence of Chen Feng, they basically have to stand aside this season. It is.
However, it should be paid attention to it. If it is directly pushed by such a fierce guy, it is estimated that anyone will have a headache. Even a tough handsome man like Popovich can't stand this kind of animal.
Chen Feng is really an unbearable guy, especially as his opponent. You never know what this guy wants to do and what he can do. You absolutely need to have a very strong nerve to support it.
The unlucky Elson did not have such a strong nerve, so after the pause, he was completely defeated by a big guy who rose up in the air with a hard frontal impact, and his whole body fell on the floor.
The bald ** after the raging did not look at Elson, who had been knocked down, but just stared at Duncan in front of him and said word by word, "From now on, it's a war between you and me."
How can a wild boy let go of this kind of face-to-face death? Who can be more fierce than him?
(Mike Brown, who has the pit's attributes, is indeed the biggest obstacle for the Lakers to win the championship. Well, you are really a successful undercover agent. This is your sister, leaving Nash on the court and returning his position to attack. What kind of donkey have you kicked in the face? Poor old Nash has to face the impact of the younger generation, and then he can't attack and explode. He can only be bullied on the defensive end. Brown, can you let Nash and Kobe go after cheating the little emperor? Do you dare to resign automatically? Can you give the veteran a way to live?)
