Duncan used his outstanding swing to help the Spurs withstand the Clippers' crazy attack in the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, he and Li Liang both rested off the court.

Duncan wiped the sweat from his face with a towel, and the TV station's camera swept to his face, and the blank expressionless face was still there.

After all, you can't laugh, and you will be called a technical foul if you smile.

Duncan's will is undoubtedly firm, and he still has confidence in winning.

As long as he is not troubled by injuries and age, Duncan has the ability to help the Spurs win any playoff game in excellent form.

This is the ability that a level superstar possesses.

Although among the many superstars in history, Duncan is a player who came to the peak early and declined early.

The first year of entering the league is the second team, and the second year is the championship plus the finals mVp.

Then he stood firm for a full ten years, and then gradually declined at the age of 32, changing his playing style.

In history, Olajuwon started to win his first championship at the age of 32.

Jabbar was 32 years old and was about to meet magician Johnson, and was about to start the glorious 80s era.

Not to mention Jordan, at the age of 32, he was about to start his second three-game championship dynasty.

After being eliminated by the Lakers in the West Finals in O8, Duncan basically withdrew from the competition for mVp-level stars.

He began to lose weight and changed his playing style. He could no longer kill the four sides as before, but the connection between Duncan and the Spurs was actually deeper.

Duncan, who was o8 years ago, would be a superstar in any other team.

o8 years later, Duncan is the Spurs, and the Spurs are Duncan, and no one can do without anyone.

This made Duncan underestimate to a certain extent. In fact, he is still better than many All-Star forwards.

Of course, Li Liang would not underestimate Duncan. In his opinion, if there are any variables in this game, he will definitely be born in Duncan.

He is still a man who can change the course of the game.

...

In the second quarter, the Spurs and the Clippers continued to have a fierce competition.

The Clippers always maintained a lead of 4 to 5 points, with two goals.

The Spurs are chasing closely, and there are no more tactics on both sides to use. They are the players' state, strength and tacit understanding.

After Popovich suffered a loss in the first quarter, he did not dare to kill Jordan Jordan again.

Danny Green's three-pointer hit once helped the Spurs catch the gap to just one point.

But immediately, Barnes made a layup with an empty cut at the basket, and then Griffin forced a foul and wanted to go to the free throw line.

Both sides entered the first timeout in the second quarter.

Both Li Liang and Duncan were replaced. Jordan Jordan, the Clippers, came to the court for a break. Needless to say, Li Liang was going to the No. 5 position to defend Duncan again.

Griffin made both free throws, the Clippers 41:36, and the score difference was again 5 points.

But Duncan immediately received Parker's pass from the low post, turned around at the bottom line and scored a lightweight basket.

Li Liang faced Duncan. Before he was serious enough to prepare for defense in this ball, Duncan attacked.

At the age of 38, he still turned around so quickly and his movements were extremely solid.

Li Liangxin thought, it seems that he must focus more.

In the second quarter, Duncan once again became the core point of the Spurs' offense.

His strong attack at low post, high mid-range jump shot, and pick-and-roll screens from the outside slowly revitalize the Spurs' offense.

It's like facing a mess, Duncan will patiently sort out and gradually bring the team on the right track.

If it were Kobe, the choice to face the mess would definitely be to take out a hammer and hammer it...

When Duncan inserted the ball in the middle and made a difficult throw shot, causing Li Liang to foul, the score between the two sides had become 44:42, and the Spurs were only 2 points away from chasing!

After the timeout, the Clippers only relied on Crawford to make a three-pointer.

Duncan hit a free throw, and the difference between the two sides became 1 point.

The at&t center gives people the feeling that it has come back to life, and the Spurs have regained the initiative.

At this time, Paul stood up and shot directly from the middle distance near the free throw line after covering the pick-and-roll with Li Liang, as a response to Wake Forest senior.

The Spurs immediately counterattacked by the three-point difference.

Danny Green rushed to the frontcourt, Tony Parker passed the ball in place, Green received the ball and made a 45-degree three-pointer from the left, hitting!

Give it a little!

Li Liang gave the ball to Paul at the bottom line. After Paul passed the ball to Li Liang after halftime, Li Liang passed the ball directly at the top of the arc to Griffin who was stuck in the three-second zone.

Griffin took the ball and turned to press Split, and scored a layup with his right hand to regain the lead.

The fast attack began again on both sides.

The Spurs are also trying to get started, just attack the attack.

Anyway, the rhythm couldn't be suppressed anymore, so I simply let go of the fight.

To be honest, the Spurs' rhythm is relatively versatile, with no problem in playing against each other, fighting against defense, fast pace or slow pace.

In the second half of the second quarter, the two teams' offenses are getting faster and faster, and the defense will definitely be much more relaxed.

Li Liang started to score three points.

But Duncan also kept using pick-and-roll to cut into the basket and scored.

Duncan now plays Li Liang with one-on-one low, and the effect may not be very good.

This guy seems to have some experience in preventing his low-level offense.

But if Duncan raises high and takes the pick-and-roll cutting route, once Jordan Jr. is not present, Li Liang's height disadvantage will be difficult to make up.

Even if you have [Bill Russell's Fear of the Boundary Zone], the level is only 1, so it feels useless.

When Li Liang made a three-pointer, Duncan took Ginobili's second pass at the basket, and dunked with one hand, causing Li Liang to foul, Li Liang finally couldn't help it.

"Old Li! When do you want me to play center?"

Li Liang yelled at the bench, and Rivers looked confused when he was yelled.

He felt that Li Liang played well...

Rivers hurriedly shook his hand towards the bench and signaled that Jordan Jr. would come on the field and replace Griffin.

"Did you have commanded on the spot? Do you want me to command?"

Li Liang was a little depressed by Duncan and exuded his anger on Rivers.

Rivers spread his hands, thinking that this was a normal rotation...

Duncan made a free throw, and Li Liang's three-pointer was offset again, and both sides split the ball.

After the half-time game, the Clippers and the Spurs scored 61:6o, and the Clippers led the Spurs against 1 point.

Duncan scored 21 points in the first half and grabbed 10 rebounds and double-double in the half!

This is the strongest voice in the halftime of the previous era.

Since the 1985 season, only five players have been in the playoffs for halftime 2o1o.

Duncan is one of them, and his last feat of doing this goes back to the o1-o2 season, 12 years ago.

At that time, the Spurs were still fighting with O'clock, fighting for the hegemony of the West.

More than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Duncan did it again in the Western Conference Finals.

However, the Spurs were still behind.

When Duncan had to stand up and carry the Spurs' offensive banner, it was enough to prove that the team's offense and defense were suppressed.

For the 38-year-old Shifo, such performance may only support the half-time. The Spurs still want to rely on Duncan to support them in the second half, and are afraid that they will not let Duncan's legs be ruined.

The Clippers are determined not to tie Duncan, Old Shifo, you have the ability to beat me to death!

Duncan was not killed by the Clippers, and almost killed Li Liang.

During the intermission, Li Liang was still complaining about Rivers, "Why do you always ask me to play the No. 5 position? Just let it go occasionally. After half a quarter, I will be beaten to death, do you know?"

Rivers patted Li Liang on the shoulder, "You have a good effect in defending him, and it is the best besides Jordan."

Li Liang was indifferent to such praise at the time.

I'm so delicate, I'm sending it to three-second zone for hand-to-hand combat is not a waste of talent?

Moreover, the inside confrontation really affects the shooting feel. In the first half, Li Liang made 3 of 8 three-pointers, and his shooting percentage was not very ideal, and there was a risk of scientific research.

Li Liang thought, in the future, I must go to a team that won’t let me play the No. 5 center, and playing the No. 4 center is already the limit.

Li Liang silently agreed to this wish in his heart.

What happened later proves that the system's father is not worthy of having a wish.
