Chapter 1009: Preparing for Inside Suppression

Duncan and Whiteside had taken off their coats at the technical table and waited for the chance to die.

As a result, they saw Anderson play his slow-paced dribble in front of James.

"Isn't this kid looking for death......" Whiteside saw Anderson playing like this, and he couldn't laugh or cry, this kid, although your slow motion is very powerful, but that person is LeBron! You want to die playing like this.

Sure enough, the ball was cut off, if it wasn't for Ginobili making a quick decision and hugging James in time, the Spurs would not have been beaten to a fast break.

"Let's go, it's our turn."

Duncan pinned Whiteside on the head and took the lead.

Whiteside followed Duncan, although he is now a veteran player, but when Whiteside played the Finals for the first time, his performance was also average, and he almost graduated with six fouls.

"You're coming up a little fast." Parker and Ginobili stepped forward to give Duncan a high-five, and the opportunity for the GDP trio to appear together at the same time has become less and less common in recent years. The rapid rise of the younger generation has given the Spurs more tactical options, and coupled with the advanced age of the three, Popovich has also deliberately reduced the time that the three of them play at the same time in order to protect them.

So, now there are fewer and fewer opportunities to see the three of them in the same frame.

"Give the ball to the inside in a moment and let them start attacking."

Parker gestured and told his teammates the next tactics, and two excellent interior twin towers came up, and there was no reason not to use them.

On the Cavaliers' side, James still controlled the ball, and after blocking and dismantling substitutions, James singled Duncan!

If in '03, '05 and '07, James dared to pull away like this and then play Duncan one-on-one, then he must be crazy, although Duncan is not called a "player with his own defensive system" like Garnett, nor has he won the best defensive player, but his defense is actually very good, and years of defense are the best proof.

But now, James is purely bullying Duncan for his old age, and the revenge that was swept away in 07 is now going to be taken back one by one!

And the most straightforward way to take revenge is to blow up Duncan one-on-one!

James started to dribble, and now Duncan doesn't move as fast as before, and when defending, he relies more on experience to make predictions, so there is no point in making too fancy moves (what hasn't old Deng seen in so many years?). Just go straight to it!

Raise your hand to separate people, protect the ball sideways, James walks the bottom line, and directly rushes Duncan!

"Bang!"

After the two collided, they made a tooth-sour sound, James is still in his prime, and it's not a big deal to bump into it like this, but Duncan is already old, and he can only suffer if he carries it like this.

Sure enough, Duncan couldn't bear the bull-like James, and retreated step by step under his impact, but he was not a fool, although he was retreating, he left a way for James to break into the basket.

At the end of that road, there was a young inside defensive gate named Whiteside, and his big slap!

James didn't think about it so much, maybe he wanted to prove himself too much, when he broke through with Duncan, he didn't find that on the other side of the basket, Whiteside had shrunk and was ready not to make up for the defense, rushed to the basket in a few steps, jumped, took off, twisted his waist, James was ready to make a backhand layup!

"Drink!"

How could Whiteside let James play under his own basket? Where will his face go in that case?

Therefore, as soon as James shot in the air, Whiteside jumped up and directly slapped him, not saving him any face.

"Smack!"

It's a pegboard hat, and the rebound was also taken by Whiteside!

James glanced at Whiteside in some surprise after landing, and then hurried back to the defense without saying anything, in fact, he was quite shocked in his heart.

When he played the Finals for the first time two years ago, this stupid big guy was an idiot who liked to jump around, and he could make him foul casually.

But now, this guy is so good? Looking at the cover just now, James actually flashed another very unpleasant memory in his heart.

In the Eastern Conference Finals in 09, when the legendary 23vs24 was only one step away, Howard, the monster who was at his peak, led the unfavored Magic and sent James's knight home to fish in advance!

That year, Howard's block that covered the sky made James very uncomfortable!

And now this big black man, judging from the block just now, already has the oppressive power that is not lost to Howard back then! And the most important thing is that he is still young, and he is not worse than James physically!

Damn, why are Spurs so lucky? How can a person who is fished out of a low position grow to this point?

So "you have to throw away the goods", James was originally very satisfied with the inside line of his Royal Foresters, but watching Whiteside grow into this level of a second-round show, he suddenly felt dissatisfied with his own inside line, obviously his own side is crushing, why is there no advantage?

Because of Whiteside's block, the Spurs are on a fast break, and at this time, Whiteside's athleticism can be seen, and he is now much faster than the average interior line with strict weight control (at least the Cavaliers' Love and Monroe are not as fast as him), and he can easily keep up with the team's fast down.

Parker and Ginobili played fancy passing to each other, and the two cooperated very well, passing the ball to each other while ensuring high-speed advancement, if it weren't for the Cavaliers' side with James and Shambaugh running fast, it would be troublesome.

But these two are almost useless, the Spurs frontcourt is 3.5 to 2, if it weren't for Barnes to be a little slower, it would be 4 to 2.

Parker received the ball and threw it high in the air, he had already seen Whiteside rushing up, and it would be a waste of resources not to send an aerial relay at this time.

James and Shambaugh also saw that Parker was in the air, but there was nothing they could do to stop it, because both were in a backward state, so it was unlikely that they would even want to jump up and break the ball.

Shambaught jumped up and tried it, but it was a bit far away, and the basketball flew straight over his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Boom!"

At the same time as Shambaugh fell, Whiteside, who was killed, jumped up directly, grabbed the flying basketball in the air, and then actually made a big windmill with both hands and dunked the ball into the basket! The two legs also swung high! People have to retreat.

"Beautifully buttoned!"

The Spurs high-fived Whiteside, this is the strength of the interior line they are proud of!

Knights, don't think that your inside line is invincible in the world, our Spurs' inside line is not afraid of you at all!

Come on, suppress them from the inside!
