Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

This year's "best team" is the same as in previous years, and the results have been announced in the second round.

The list of the best first team is: Shaquille O'Neal, Tim Duncan, Woody, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash;

The best second team is: Stoudemire, Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, Dwyane Wade;

The best three teams are: Ben Wallace, Shawn Marion, Artest, Gilbert Arenas, McGrady;
Shaq immediately said to the media: "Now we can discuss why the Lakers, who have won three consecutive championships, are so invincible!"

Kobe was not selected for the "All-NBA Team", but that's normal. If a team that didn't make it to the playoffs has an "All-NBA Team" player, then you let those teams that made it to the playoffs perform well. What to do with players who have bad grades?
Cleveland has been saying before that with LeBron James averaging 27 plus 7 plus 7 per game, he should occupy a position in the "All-NBA Team."

This caused a huge discussion.

Judging from the final results of the league, both record and team performance were considered.

A total of 6 players from the league's No. [-] Heat and No. [-] Suns were selected for the final "best team."

The Heat have the most players selected for the first team, with a total of 2 players.

The Suns only have one.

However, the two teams have the same number of "All-NBA Team" selections. In addition to Steve Nash, the Suns also have Stoudemire and Shawn Marion on this list.

In addition, Wade also became the "best second team" defender by virtue of his first record in the league.

In fact, in terms of his data alone, he cannot compare with the undrafted Kobe, but who made the Heat rank first in the league this year?
The list of “Best Defense Formations” is:
First team: Tim Duncan, Larry Hughes, Ben Wallace, Woody, Artest;
Second team: Bruce Bowen, Kirilenko, Prince, Kidd, Kevin Garnett;
Therefore, Woody and Tim Duncan have become the only "double teams" this year.

It is worth mentioning that this is the fifth time in Tim Duncan's career that he has played in a "double team." How exaggerated is it for him to "be at the top when he debuts"?

After his rookie season, he was selected to the "All-NBA First Team" and "All-Defensive Second Team", and he has fallen out of the "Best Team" so far in his career!
One of the most over-the-top rookies of all time.

Compared with Woody's "phenomenal" performance last season, it's not that phenomenal.

Of course, Woody has his own advantage, and that is his age... If he performs like that at the age of 18, what kind of bike do he need?
This season, he is even stronger, becoming another player selected for the "double first team" in the second season of his career after Tim Duncan, and this year, he is only 19 years old!
From this perspective, the other two people of the "Three Talents" have been completely left behind by him, and there is no trace at all.

The Miami media pulled out LeBron James and mocked the players and general managers who held the top five picks in 03.

"Thank you for giving us Woody!"

At that time, many media once again advocated the confrontation between Woody and Tim Duncan.

Unexpectedly, these two people actually met in this year's finals!

The only "double team" player this year...

"In fact, I never thought that Woody would meet Tim Duncan on such a stage so early. The Heat have great hopes this year, but I originally thought it would be the Pistons or the Pacers. Make it to the finals.”

After all, this is the Heat's first year of training together!
But who knows...

The "Fight at the Palace of Auburn Hills" actually happened!
The Heat didn't encounter even the slightest resistance and went straight to the finals.

It is also for this reason that more media are optimistic about the Spurs.

This is Tim Duncan's 8th year in the league, but it is already the third time in his career that he has reached the Finals.

To make an analogy, during the same period of time, Michael Jordan never even touched the floor of the Finals.

Being in the same era as the "OK" group, Tim Duncan still made it to so many finals in the first eight years of his career, which is enough to show how powerful he is.

Now he is surrounded by the more mature Tony Parker and Ginobili.

And what about the Heat?
Not doubting Woody's ability, but this is indeed his first time in the finals.

Even if he performs well, there is still a newcomer named Wade!
In addition, including Gerald Wallace and Haslem, the "dark horses" who were rookies last season have reached the finals stage, and their lack of experience is still exposed.

Fortunately, this team has Shaquille O'Neal to fill these gaps.

But it was also because of Shaq that this matchup had meaning for discussion. Otherwise, these people would have been infinitely optimistic about the Spurs.

On June 6, amidst the discussion, the first finals game between the Heat and the Spurs officially started.

The entire Miami was decorated with lights and decorations for these two days, and the streets and alleys were filled with the atmosphere of the finals.

In the past, they could only watch the fans of other teams busy preparing for the finals. They were envious at that time, but now it is finally their turn...

That night at American Airlines Arena, before the game even started, the noise filled the entire arena.

When the on-site DJ introduced the away Spurs, the boos from the Heat fans were deafening.

And when the Heat players at home came on the stage, they immediately switched to "enthusiastic mode". Their enthusiastic look was like the woman soliciting customers at the gate of Yihongyuan in ancient times.

They are madly in love with this team that has created history for them, and they are more excited than the girls in the brothel when they see the money.

When Woody appeared on the stage, the cheers at the scene were completely overwhelming, one after another, and lasted for a long time without stopping.

"50-point night", he shouted to the media: "If Heat fans need a reason to come to watch the game, then that reason is me." This sentence detonated Miami at the time.

All Heat fans realize they have an incredible rookie.

But they still didn't expect that just four or five months later, the rookie would lead the Heat to create a series of records, giving the Heat the best year in team history.

Now, they no longer need a reason to come to watch the game, but it is a must-do!
Only those who support Woody deserve to live in Miami.

This is the realization of these Heat fans!

They finally realized that they had a team, an NBA team, a very good team in the NBA...

The big screen at the scene showed the starting lineups of both sides.

The Heat did not make any formation changes. Alston's performance in the last round was actually not good, but Stan Van Gundy still had no intention of changing formations.

The reason is also very simple:
The Spurs' Tony Parker himself is also a defensive vulnerability.

If the Spurs catch Alston at this point, then they only need to catch Parker at this point and hit him back.

The other starting players for the Spurs are:
Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen and Tim Duncan and Muhammad.Rasu, who was originally the starting center this season, suffered an injury at the end of the season, which forced Popovich, who had no one inside, to push Muhammad into the starting position.

So far, Muhammad has scored 23 points and 7.1 rebounds in 6.7 minutes.

The great thing about the Spurs' team play with Tim Duncan as their system is that any player can perform better next to Tim Duncan.

You can also say that Popovich's employment is indeed unique.

But the fact is that before he got Tim Duncan, Popovich didn't have any outstanding achievements as a head coach. His biggest achievement as a head coach was to mess up and then get Tim Duncan.

After acquiring Tim Duncan, the number of high-quality wings produced by this team suddenly increased. Not to mention other things, it helped the Pacers get the third place in the Eastern Conference this season, and has already booked a big contract this summer. Jackson came from this team.

Compared with some players, Tim Duncan's system is really good at covering up their problems and amplifying their advantages.Because no matter what their shortcomings are, Tim Duncan is there to clean them up.

There is a saying in the industry:

Players who cannot survive in the other 29 teams in the league may not survive in the Spurs, but players who cannot survive in the Spurs basically cannot survive in other teams.

This is the bonus of Tim Duncan's system.

Muhammad, a player who averaged only 6.4 points and 6 rebounds per game in the regular season and shot only 38.6% from the field, was able to transform into an inside powerhouse with 7.1 points and 6.7 rebounds in the more intense playoffs.

It seems that the data has not changed much, but the average shooting percentage has changed from 38.6% to 52.8%!

why?
You know it all with your butt, because with Tim Duncan helping him attract defenses, he can take shots more calmly and complete the "pickup".

Some players are known as "bringing their own system", but the players around them were "Finals MVP", "Best First Team", and "Scoring Champion" before the cooperation, and after the cooperation, they even have some "Best Third Team". Reluctantly, there are players. Before the cooperation, they were ranked 7th on the regular season MVP list. After the cooperation, they became "Bo Yibo".

Not to mention the remaining "Wolf King" turned into "Husky".

Can this also be considered a “self-contained system”?
Are there two words missing?

Comes with a blood-sucking system!

Suck the blood of your teammates to make your career more brilliant!
It's almost a safe bet that Tim Duncan would be more successful if he wasn't with the Spurs.

Who doesn’t know how to play “full level account”!

When Stan Van Gundy planned his tactics, he also headed towards Tim Duncan.

As long as he is uncomfortable playing, the Spurs will naturally expose more problems on both offense and defense.

Before going on stage, a prompt sounded from the long-lost system:

"The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead"!
The content of the task is also very simple. One is to defeat Duncan; the other is to get better data than Tim Duncan.

Completing the first item can earn you 5 achievement points. The second item is classified according to points, rebounds, and assists. If you surpass Tim Duncan in one item, you will get an additional 1 achievement points.

Seeing this task, Woody, who was already in high spirits, became even more full of fighting spirit.

Since upgrading the second template, the frequency of this mission has decreased. His biggest gain so far is the mission related to Kobe and Howard started by Xitian last year.

A total of 6 achievement points have been obtained, and the 40 achievement points can be said to be far away.

Once this task is completed, his progress in upgrading the third template will increase a lot.

Whether it can continue to evolve in the next two years depends on this series.

Tim Duncan watched Woody walk across from him. He has been paying attention to the news from the outside world these days. Woody is now standing on the same stage as him, and more media are comparing the two of them together. .

In fact, after the first game of this season, the comparison between the two of them had already begun. However, Tim Duncan did not take it to heart at all at the time. He did not even expect that they would be on the stage of the finals this season. Met...

Looking at Woody who was full of desire, Tim Duncan also ignited a fire in his heart.

It was just in the jump ball session, but he still saw what "young people's physical fitness" is first!
The Heat won the right to attack at home.

Alston dribbled the ball past half court and handed the first attack to Shaquille O'Neal!
The Spurs did not arrange flank defense for Shaq's first singles game. Popovich also wanted to see how well Muhammad could defend against Shaquille O'Neal.

He expected Muhammad to at least hold up until Shaquille O'Neal turned around.

As long as he ensures that he does not lose his position before then, Popovich is acceptable.

But this requirement is a bit too high for Muhammad.
The first time, he couldn't stand it!

Shaquille O'Neal really hit him like a tank, and he gritted his teeth and took a step back.

The second blow came immediately, and Muhammad was pushed away directly.

"Bah!"

"Shark goes out to sea", after vigorously sinking the frame, the Heat lead 2-0.

Parker faced Alston and still called a pick-and-roll.

As he grows further this season and has more rights to handle the ball, he has become the most pick-and-roll player in the league.

However, this is normal. No matter which defender he is, it is a stupid thing to choose to ignore him when the team has a very useful pick-and-roll inside line.

Alston, who originally had insufficient defensive capabilities, seemed at a loss when faced with Tim Duncan's pick-and-roll. Tony Parker completed the breakthrough in just one step.

But when he came to the basket, Woody reached out and interfered with his layup.

"Boom!"

The ball popped out of the basket, and Tim Duncan, who followed up, grabbed the rebound and made a "second offense" hook shot.

Woody took off for the second time and stood directly in front of him, but his hand heading towards the ball was suddenly separated by Tim Duncan's non-ball-holding hand.

"Shh!"

The "big basic skill" hook hand is completed. (End of chapter)
