In this Western Conference Finals G1 between the Warriors and the Spurs, the Warriors' young inside was trained in turn by Duncan, and suffered losses in the inside. The outside was surrounded by three long hands and feet of Luo Ge, Mai Zi and Leonard. Except for Chen Xiao, Bill and Clay were all out of standard.

Internal and external difficulties,

Chen Xiao was alone and the Warriors lost quite miserably.

However, facing the Spurs, the strongest team in the league, the Warriors had already had expectations.

Any results are normal.

However, the Warriors actually never thought that Duncan, the Spurs' inside pillar, still has such strong combat power.

Duncan scored 21 points in the first half in this game!

Good guy, 9 out of 12,

3 of 3 free throws and 21 points in the first half. Is this a 38-year-old veteran able to play?

Since last season's finals, Duncan especially likes to play halftime offense in the playoffs.

Because Duncan himself also felt that his current age and physical condition, even if he still has the strength in the fourth quarter, he would not be able to contribute on the offensive end.

Therefore, at the beginning of the game, when he was full of energy, Duncan would attack wildly and have a strong desire to attack, not even worse than when he was young.

Moreover, now when he is physically strong enough, he does have a strong offensive threat.

Mainly, now the younger generation of the league is really capable of doing dirty and tiring work.

There are fewer inner lines in my hands, my heart is dark and my feet are hard.

To be honest, most young insiders in the league are quite elegant.

Maybe they are all very strong, but for Duncan, who has become an old monster, you have good skills and strong strength, and maybe you are not as useful as the black guy who has played.

So, after the Warriors and Spurs' G1, some netizens made some of the more immature scenes of Lopez, Davis, Gobert and Ibaka in this game and posted them on the YouTube.

Then, all the netizens were shocked by Duncan.

This NBA's No. 1 center forward in history is really a monster.

The hands, feet, and body are all basic skills and plays.

To be honest, the Warriors' inside line is actually not weak this season.

In the entire league, Yao Ming, who can play so easily in the Warriors' inside line, is probably Duncan of the Spurs.

Thinking of Yao Ming, who still steadily controls the first center position even in the last season this season.

Think about it again, I was already 38 at this time, and I could steadily suppress the rising young people.

I can only say that many of the historical players can defeat them, perhaps only time can be achieved.

Even time is difficult for them to completely cover up their style.

I can only say that the young inside players of the Warriors are indeed tragic.

It has to be said that these young inside players of the Warriors have suffered in history.

In history, Bosh 13 and 14 finished the finals in the past two years, and his historical status was simply a cliff-like decline. The peak former power forward was beaten by a 38-year-old veteran. Do you still want to have a historical status?

Of course, these four inside players of the Warriors, whether they are Big Lopez or Thick Brows, must not have the status of Bosh at this time in history.

Bosh, that's the real superstar.

Lopez and Davis have no such reputation.

So netizens did not make things difficult for Thanime and Lopez like mocking and making things difficult for Bosh.

Of course, there must be some teasing.

On May 21, the Warriors continued to challenge the Spurs in San Antonio after a day off.

In this game, the Warriors lost even worse. The Warriors players felt like they had a cover in this game.

The Spurs' defense is indeed very strong.

But if you say that Bill made 4 of 15 and Clay made 5 of 16, this is completely good defense of the Spurs, that's nonsense.

The Spurs' inside advantage is very strong because of the existence of Duncan and Al Jefferson.

In this game, the Warriors still focus on outside offense, and at the same time spared no effort to compete with the Spurs on the defensive end, just like the strategy of hitting the Spurs in a somewhat embarrassed manner after the playoffs last season.

However, in this game, except for Chen Xiao, the Warriors' outside players felt bad.

In this game, Chen Xiao made 18 of 28, 2 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 43 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game.

Without Chen Xiao, the Spurs won in the third quarter.

By the way, Chen Xiao's two 3-pointers in this game were the only two three-pointers in the Warriors' game.

In this game, Clay made 0 of 4 three-pointers, Bill made 0 of 5, Dragic made 0 of 2, Barnes made 0 of 2, and Novak made 0 of 1.

It seems like it was cursed.

Actually, it's not considered cursed.

This is also related to Popovich's defensive strategy.

Popovich's playoff against the Warriors this time obviously learned from the last lesson of being embarrassed by the Warriors' three-pointer rain in the playoffs last season. This time, he met the Warriors, strictly prevented three-pointers, defended the basket, and allowed the Warriors' mid-range to a limited extent.

In this game, Chen Xiao's shooting percentage except for three-pointers was 16 of 20 shots!

This is almost all mid-range shots!

But even so, it still failed to kill the Spurs.

I can only say that the Spurs' offense is very good now.

That turn, that three points...

If it were the Spurs who didn't like attacking before 2007, Chen Xiao would definitely be able to kill the Spurs by one person in this game.

But now...

I can only say that the last time Duncan left the Spurs, the change to Popovich was indeed a big deal.

Popovich's offensive training against the Spurs seems to be even stronger than defense.

This is the horror and danger of this Spurs.

While the defense is so excellent, the offense is so outstanding...

This is not a team that can kill one person.

After losing the second game 107-115 on the road in G2, the Warriors are already behind the Spurs by a big score of 0-2.

After sweeping the opponent in the first and second rounds, the Spurs seemed to be about to sweep the Warriors too.

After watching these two games, many people admit that Chen Xiao is still the strongest player in the league. At the age of 32, he can still play unparalleled. Other players of the Warriors have also made great progress compared to last season.

But the Warriors are indeed very different from the Spurs.

When your attack is pinched by the Spurs' strategy of putting the head and tail in the middle, it can't move.

After your entangled defense was resolved by the veteran Spurs using experience to eliminate and beat him.

The Warriors are not good at offense and defense now. At the same time, the offensive system has not yet been formed due to the players' understanding. How can people fight?

But soon, the Warriors let the world know how they played in such a desperate situation.

Steve Cole made Chen Xiao play inside in the Warriors' home game G3 like Jordan he assisted back then.

g3, the Warriors sent a lineup of Lopez, Chen Xiao, Davis, Clay and Bill.

This starting lineup does not seem to have any changes in personnel, but the players' positions have changed.

Chen Xiao went to the inside and to Duncan.

And Thanime went to the outside line and to Leonard.

This adjustment is indeed miraculous.

Although Cole is not as good at playing as Boss Qiao, Boss Qiao must have changed its starting lineup directly.

But even so, the effect is still excellent.

Let’s talk about Duncan, who performed bravely in the first two games.

Duncan attacked hard as soon as he first two games.

This game is no exception, and I took 8 shots in the first quarter!

This is the number of single shots at the top of the Science and Technology Boss.

It can be seen that the Spurs hope to use Duncan to tell Cole that it is useless to switch things like this. If you place your hope on Chen Xiao, then I will hit Chen Xiao.

This is called killing people in tactics.

I have to say that Popovich is indeed very good at playing this kind of yin psychological warfare.

But Duncan finally accomplished only limited results.

In Popovich's view, Chen Xiao has been losing weight over the years, and Duncan has been losing weight over the years.

In order to play in the NBA for a few more years, the two have lost weight. Duncan, who is taller, has an advantage.
To be continued...
