Bruce subconsciously picked up the wine that had just been poured on the table, and looked at Duncan who was about to start his first game of the Warriors on TV, his heart was like a flame burning.
"I don't know Duncan's development in the future. Popovich sees it again and again. I wonder if he will curse my "robbery" all day long?" Take the ball once and watch it seriously!
On the court, after the short team practice before, Duncan has basically figured out his position and Wilkens' position for himself!
When he came to the top arc of the three-point line, under the defense of Mohammed, he received a pass from Cassel!
The moment Duncan stood still, Nowitzki, who already had an advantage in height, suddenly rushed towards the penalty area like a center forward!
This is Wilkens' intention. No matter Nowitzki or Duncan, as long as one of them appears outside the three-point line, the tactics launched at a certain point of them will immediately start under the execution of other players!
The two are just like the previous Spurs play style, one is supporting at a high position, and the other will quickly go to the outside of the penalty area regardless of the position in order to quickly shift the axis of tactics!
Duncan slowly dribbled the ball to the outside of the three-point line on the right, glanced at the running position of his teammates, and at the moment when Dell Curry was in the wrong body with himself, he handed the basketball over, put his hands together, and gave him a hand. A decent cover!
Because of Ira Newbell's height, his height of 2 meters will basically not take much advantage in defending the old Curry.
The moment Curry received the ball, under the cover of Duncan, he rushed to the inside line!
Jason Te, standing at a high position of 45 degrees on the left, after seeing Dell Curry's movements, he quickly chased after him, temporarily abandoning Cassel who was still standing there!
Nowitzki entangled with DeMar Johnson hard, even though he was not as strong as the opponent, but he still stubbornly resisted him behind him!
"I don't know if it's my illusion. I think Dirk has made great progress on the defensive end. You see, even though he is not as strong as his opponent, he still firmly blocks the opponent's players behind him. This can also be seen as It’s the credit of Wilkens and Oakley!” Rick Barry admired Nowitzki’s approach and couldn’t help but agree with Wilkens and Oakley’s previous teachings!
Under the pursuit of Terry beside him, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he suddenly slowed down, and took a few steps back to Duncan who was about to come!
After seeing Curry's action, Mohammed took a big step forward subconsciously. His intention was very simple, that is, he wanted to sandwich him with Terry who was about to come!
And their strategy, after Duncan hit the board, can only be secretly annoyed!
Just as Muhammad took a big step, Curry pretended to shoot. When the two men stretched out their arms impatiently, his right hand holding the ball suddenly folded and rubbed against Mohammed strangely. Murder's thigh, handed the basketball to Duncan who was ready!
"Wow!!"
Even though Duncan's goal was not as explosive as Carter's, he scored the goal steadily, which still made some fans who knew his strength cheer excitedly!
"God, what did I see?? Please don't tell me this is the home of the Spurs!!" Rick Barry yelled in surprise, for the Warriors just played this kind of double-tower tactic similar to the Spurs. This scene really felt extremely incredible!
There was a chemical reaction between Nowitzki and Duncan for the first time, just like Robinson in the Spurs, he made a very important contribution to tactics in his own way!
"Good job!!!" Wilkens had an expression that hadn't been excited for a long time. After seeing the players play this tactic, he couldn't help but cheer for these talented players and veterans!
Before, when Duncan decided to join the Warriors, Wilkens deliberately studied Popovich's use of the twin towers tactics. After years of coaching experience, he quickly understood the essence of it!
As the name suggests, the twin towers tactic is a tactical system in which two big players appear on the court. Especially when the two are the axis, the cooperation between the two is extremely important!
Just like the previous tactics, the two did not have a clear distinction between the center and the power forward, and some just rotated extremely quickly.
Of course, without the cooperation of the other players, this tactic would get them into trouble instantly!
With the Warriors players returning to the defense very quickly, with Wilkens' defensive attainments, the players put great pressure on the Eagles players in their resolute execution!
Even if it is a one-on-one defense, it is a bit troublesome to remove Dell Curry and Cassel, but in the overall defense, they still seem to be able to do a job with ease!
Terry glanced anxiously at the time on the timing card. When the time reached 12 seconds, he knew he couldn't wait for his teammates' chance.
Cassel had already noticed Terry's expression, and when he saw the anxious expression in his eyes, he directly took a step forward and used his own experience to block Terry's extremely fast first step!
"Damn it!!" Terry suddenly felt the power exerted by Cassel on his body. Driven by his subconscious, he ignored Rahim's yelling, and jumped back forcibly, and then reluctantly threw the basketball Voted out!
"boom!!"
After the basketball stubbornly hit the backboard, it bounced directly into the air, and Duncan, who was already stuck in his position, held the basketball tightly in his arms with a pair of long arms under Mohammed's helplessness!
"Wow, a mid-range shot and a rebound, Tim fully demonstrated his strong talent, I have to say that his opening game is very comfortable and surprising!"
When George Lillard heard Rick Barry's words, a smug expression suddenly appeared on his face: "Aha, as I said, Tim will integrate into the team system very smoothly!!"
After that, the first half of the first quarter seemed to be the performance time of Nowitzki and Duncan, the new pair of twin towers. They used their own methods during the rotation to create great trouble for the Eagles!
In just such a short period of time, Duncan scored 6 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks in an exciting manner. In addition, Nowitzki scored 8 points, 4 rebounds and [-] steals. The guys who had a training match really excited the whole home court!
"Aha, this shit is a miracle!!!" Bruce drank the wine in the glass excitedly, and waved his right arm vigorously!
Duncan and Nowitzki, who can show an amazing tacit understanding so quickly, basically come from the hands and long shots of the two.
After Duncan changed to center, even though there will be some physical problems, after all, he has a mid-range shot. Coupled with Nowitzki's threat from long distances, this makes the Eagles dare not double-team one of them. !
If they are double-teamed, one of Nowitzki and Duncan will definitely use his best way to end the offense!
Coupled with Wilkens' tactical formulation and the performance of other players, the power of the twin towers is displayed excitingly!
"drop!!"
With 4 minutes left in the first quarter, Ron Kruger finally couldn't help calling a timeout!
"Cool!!!" Barkley ran to Duncan and the two excitedly, and after completing a chest bump with them one by one, he hugged their necks in his arms: "Guys, you are so fucking cool !!!”
Hearing Barkley's excited yelling, Duncan and Nowitzki pushed Barkley's "trickster" hands away in a tacit understanding, with a hint of excitement in their eyes, and then they laughed and greeted the Warriors together with Barkley. Go to the rest area!
"Bruce is unbelievable. He brought us an increase in wins every year. He brought us players that surprised everyone!" Rick Barry enjoyed watching the big screen again and again. Playing back the cooperation between Duncan and Nowitzki, he said excitedly: "God, why do I want to kiss Bruce on the face hard!!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Rick Barry's words made George Lillard beside him laugh out loud.
In the rest area of the Eagles, no matter how much Ron Kruger yelled and said, his players were doing their own things a little depressed. From here, we can see the status of this rookie coach in the team!
"drop!!"
As the whistle blew again, Kruger breathed a sigh of relief when he saw both Wallace and Barkley replace Duncan.
However, the performance of the Warriors afterwards gradually made Kruger deeply feel what the word powerlessness feels like!
In the next 4 minutes, with Wallace's strong defensive strength and "monopoly" on rebounds, after Barkley's frequent attacks, the Warriors played a wave of 10:0 climax!
"Damn it, why are they so powerful!!" Kruger moaned weakly. He really felt the deep despair of the Warriors players' crushing momentum!
In the next three quarters, the Warriors did not give the Eagles any illusion of a comeback.
As the fourth quarter progressed to the last 3 minutes of the contest, as early as the 9th minute, it became a garbage time court, with Kirilenko, Gerald Wallace, Billups and Wallace, Under the guard of Barkley, they literally smashed the Eagles' defense to pieces!
With all the Warriors scoring, they finally beat the Eagles 110:90!
In the whole game, Duncan scored 30 points, 16 rebounds and 14 blocked shots in just 3 minutes, plus Nowitzki's 19 points, 8 rebounds and 3 steals. The combination of two swords for the first time made everyone see the strength of the two in the future! !
After the game, with the participation of Duncan, Nowitzki, Wilkens, and Bruce, who was grinning from ear to ear, a post-match press conference that attracted many media began amidst the excitement of all the media!
"Mr. Bruce, I apologize to you for my previous doubts!!"
The reporter of "USA Today", under the signal of the Warriors press officer, stood up and said the first sentence, which surprised the media hall.
"Hehe, you did what you should do, it's nothing, you don't need to apologize at all!" Bruce said casually in a good mood, he was not interested in the reporter's previous words at all, what he is most interested in now is these " In what way will the grass on the wall describe this game!
"Mr. Tim Duncan, can you tell me how you played such an amazing game?"
Duncan glanced at the reporter with a flat expression, then subconsciously glanced at Nowitzki next to him, and suddenly showed a smile on his face: "I have a group of very good teammates, and I feel very comfortable here. We will win more and more victories in the future!!"
Duncan's words made the reporters in the audience feel depressed. What they want to hear is not this kind of joke similar to their own feelings!
"Dirk, what kind of player do you think Tim is??"
A reporter from California suddenly stood up, and after seeing a playful look in Bruce's eyes, he smiled and nodded to him!
"Wow, Tim is a guy who excites everyone, he is the most exciting guy in this league, I have never enjoyed such an intoxicating game in the game!!"
Nowitzki's metaphor made the media hall suddenly burst into good-natured laughter!
Afterwards, under the guidance of the media purchased by Cole, the large-scale press conference after the game ended in a gentle question and answer, and Duncan instantly entered the eyes of the entire league!
