Chapter 197 (2/2)
”Maybe after a few games, we will know that feeling. You're facing Tim Duncan. You may not be able to score well in this series
”Cut, it's just a 35 year old man. Don't worry, Tim's time is over. The Spurs, the number one in the Western Conference, we didn't win the regular season Randolph laughs jokingly. It's not that he's arrogant, but that Duncan's form this season is not very good.
This season, Duncan's numbers have fallen to a career low. The average score per game was 13.4, the lowest. 7 assists per game, the lowest. The average rebounds per game is 8.9, which is the first time in Duncan's career that he doesn't have double rebounds.The same is true of the playoffs. Duncan's average performance of 12.7 points per game, compared with last season's 19 points, was a cliff jump.
This season, Duncan against the Grizzlies is only 11.3 points, 8.7 rebounds recorded, shooting rate less than 42%. This kind of data can make Duncan seem to have no threat.
People think that Duncan is because of his age, the ruling power is no longer. Randolph, too.
But link knows that Duncan is in good shape. In the future, he can even lead the Spurs and the heat for the championship.
One of the reasons why Duncan seems lonely this year is that his fasciitis is bothering him. But the most important reason is that the Spurs are in transition. During this period, Popovich intended to dominate the attack with Parker and Ginobili. Duncan is limited everywhere, the attack end shoots and the ball right reduces greatly.
But in fact, Duncan is far from the bottom. As long as Duncan is serious, he is still powerful.
Just look at how David West struggled when the Spurs hit the Hornets, and you can see how steady Duncan was.
”Don't take it lightly, Zach. I still said that, your opponent is Tim Duncan, on the offensive side, we must be more cautious
Link reminded him again, but Randolph didn't pay much attention to his words. He thought that the boy was a little nervous.
At noon, the Grizzlies took part in the training hall of ATT center. In the afternoon, the Spurs and Grizzlies also have to do adaptive training on the field in turn.
Maybe it's because the Grizzlies are preparing too seriously. When the Grizzlies enter the official arena, several Spurs players who participated in the last round of adaptive training have not left yet and are still being interviewed by reporters. And among these people, Tim Duncan!
Link looked at Duncan, at the floor under his feet. No accident, grizzly to win the Spurs should be no problem, but the fear is the accident! Once there is a change in history, the subsequent changes will be huge.
With the first round of reference, the Spurs are likely to study the Grizzlies in advance and come up with strategies. After all, since 2011, the Spurs have been beaten eight times.
In short, even link doesn't know what will happen in this series. At the att center, it is no less difficult than the first round.
The Grizzlies didn't bother the Spurs, so they all got together in one half to get used to the court. Relatively speaking, the atmosphere of the two teams is relatively friendly.
A few minutes later, the Spurs left and reporters turned to Grizzlies.
Today, the first thing reporters found was not link, but Randolph! Randolph was also a little flattered. Why did he suddenly become a fan? Randolph is not used to being so popular with reporters.
But after listening to the reporters' questions, Randolph's smile disappeared in an instant. It turned out that the reporters came to him so actively, not because of himself, but because of Duncan!
”Just now, Tim Duncan said in an interview,” the Grizzlies feel they have an advantage against us, so they are not afraid. Now that they want to meet us, let's see. ” What do you think of Tim's remarks, Zach
The smile on Randolph's face was swept away, and link, who was eavesdropping on the side, began to laugh.
It turns out that ”Stone Man” is also angry. Link must admit that this is the first time he has seen Duncan say that in front of the media.
It seems that this round of series, Randolph is really not very good ah.
If Randolph really encounters Duncan's strict defense, then link will have to take on the greater responsibility of scoring , the fastest update of the webnovel!
