Basketball: Starting from the Rodman template

Chapter 170
Regarding Tim Duncan’s offensive skills, the Heat’s scouting report says this:

Tim Duncan's diverse scoring skills not only reflect his basketball intelligence, but also reflect his overall ability on the offensive end.He can flexibly change according to the game situation and contribute points to the team in the most effective way.

Duncan's mid-range shot is a key weapon in his scoring skills.He can consistently hit mid-range shots from near the free throw line and from mid- to long-range positions.Not only does this make him a threat inside and out, it also allows him to draw defenders away from the paint and create space for teammates.Duncan's mid-range scoring ability makes him difficult to defend in games, and opponents need to make defensive choices.

In key games, Duncan often chooses shots at critical moments to determine the outcome of the game, which requires judgment on the rhythm of the game and the defensive players.This stable mid-range shooting ability makes him a scoring guarantee for the Spurs in critical moments.

His offensive skills around the basket are equally impressive.His low-post offense includes post-up plays, fadeaway jumpers, and pick-up baskets. The diversity of these skills allows him to be flexible in the face of different defensive strategies.His physical advantage and excellent footwork allow him to create physical contact with opponents in the low post, thereby creating scoring opportunities.

Duncan's post-up skills allow him to maintain a stable position when confronting defenders, making it easier to shoot.His fadeaway jumper allows him to score even when defenders raise their hands to block him.

Duncan is a player who is good at reading defenses and can make shot selections based on the position and movements of defensive players.He knows when to choose mid-range shots and when to choose low-post attacks. This wisdom in shot selection allows him to score more efficiently in games.

Duncan often looks at his opponent's defensive posture to determine how to shoot.If the opponent's defense is close, he will choose a post-up shot; if the opponent is too tight, he will choose a fadeaway jumper to maximize the advantage of the opponent's defensive mistakes.

……

It's probably a few thousand words long.

If this scout didn't know what "appropriate detail" means, then the scouting report on Tim Duncan, just on the offensive end, would be enough to write a paper of more than [-] words.

Heat scouts tried to find a way to deal with Tim Duncan by cutting him into pieces, but it seemed to have the exact opposite effect.

Regarding this scouting report, Woody only had two words to evaluate Tim Duncan after reading it:
Invincible!

Against such a guy with all-round scoring methods, Woody did not rush forward, but very cautiously used his strength to block the position.

He does not intend to take the initiative as before, but will respond based on Tim Duncan's reaction.

This was beyond Duncan's expectation. After he signaled his teammates to pull away, he found that Woody's defense was not urgent. Instead, he was waiting for him to make the first move. He felt that the Spurs scouts should deduct their wages.

However, he didn't panic and immediately used his special skill, hitting the board shot at a 45-degree angle.

The shot was very decisive. Before that, he deliberately slowed down the rhythm of dribbling to paralyze Woody's defensive instant power.

The effect was pretty good. When Woody pounced on him, there was no obvious leakage.But he interfered only after Tim Duncan's shooting motion was fully formed.

"Boom! Boom! Whoa!"

The ball hit the backboard, bounced off the rim, bounced slightly, and then fell straight into the basket.

Some people get at least half of their career points from walking, and Tim Duncan gets at least half of his career points from this kind of unpretentious scoring.

Even most of the balls, even the arc of the throw and the angle of rebound are exactly the same.

What is "refined into steel"?
Tim Duncan uses "45-degree angle to play the board" to tell you the answer!

Barkley shook his head at the commentary table.

He really rarely saw Woody suffer on both offense and defense.

Especially this season.

Tim Duncan is so perverted.

This guy is already the number one power forward in NBA history just halfway through his career. It's not without reason.

However, Woody should not be affected at all.

The broadcast camera flashed by, and you could see his still determined eyes.

Once again it was the Heat's turn to attack. Shaquille O'Neal originally wanted to give this round to Woody, but Woody had no intention of actively blocking the position. From the gesture given by Alston secretly, he also wanted to continue playing this round. He was at this point, so Shaq took a deep breath, fought hand-to-hand with Rasu, the "big human shield", and forcefully got out of the basket, successfully catching the ball.

come!

Keep on fouling!
Wasn't it quite arrogant just now?

Shaquille O'Neal was actually holding back some anger in his heart.

At the moment, Lasu did not continue to use the "shark-cutting" tactic, but he did not hesitate at all and continued to hit hard with the ball.

The sound of "bang bang bang" was heard in the audience, and an old fan with a white beard and hair subconsciously shrank his head. He didn't dare to imagine what would happen if he was caught in the middle.

Rasu's expression gradually became violent.

He fought tooth and nail to hold off Shaquille O'Neal.

But how could he resist the "power of the shark".

Even if his best advantage in the NBA is his size, he can't see any advantage in front of the "big shark".

Turn around, dunk, "shark into the sea", a powerful blow, the point difference came to 3-2.
The Heat regained the lead.

There is nothing wrong with Alstom's decision.

If Rasu doesn't foul, Shaquille O'Neal can easily score. If Rasu fouls, then he will get two fouls, and Popovich will have a headache!

After Shaq made this attack, Alston became more certain of his thoughts.

Tony Parker took the ball to the frontcourt, and this time Tim Duncan stepped forward and still blocked Alston smoothly.But Woody is obviously more accustomed to Tony Parker's rhythm this time.

After driving for a long time, the "French trot" that made several moves in a row suddenly "spun in circles" and couldn't get into the inside line at all.

Popovich started saying "WTF" on the sidelines, and Parker flicked the ball toward the wing.

The long-haired Argentinian caught the ball handsomely. Faced with Wade who defended him in time, he made a feint, forcing Wade to take half a step back. In this half-step space, Ginobili moved smoothly. He collected the ball back into his hand, raised his hand and shot.

"FXXK!"

Popovich's curses grew louder.

Parker is enough to make him worry, and the Spurs have others who are even more worried.

But the scolding ended abruptly only halfway, because the ball that flew out during his scolding fell straight into the basket, setting off cheers from the audience and making Popovich shut up in anger. On the lips.

This is Manu Ginobili, a guy who walks the line between reasonable and unreasonable.

He was also the only Spurs player who could shut up an angry Popovich.

Not even Tim Duncan can do this.

Of course, Tim Duncan would not let Popovich curse so loudly. All of his choices are relatively reasonable choices.

What if it weren’t for the “great male protagonist of Shuangwen”!

He has all the halo you can think of for a "male protagonist".Oh, the only drawback may be that he trusted his own people too much, which allowed his agent to steal $1500 million from him.

However, it is easy to fall into dementia when it comes to money management. He is not the only NBA player who is like this. There are many black players who have made millions or even hundreds of millions in their careers and declare bankruptcy the moment they retire.

This is a common problem of this race.

What God gives, of course He also takes something away.

5-3!

Ginobili's handsome "top shot" gave the Spurs the lead again and made Wade the "sinner" of the Heat at the moment.

He was eager to recover the ball, but was exploited by the veteran Spurs. A successful defense and defensive counterattack gave the Spurs a 4-point lead at the start.

This advantage lasted until the end of the first half.

48 to 44.
This was the final halftime score.

The Spurs themselves scored 48 points, which is nothing to say. The state is neither very good nor bad, it can only be said to be average.But they limited the Heat's halftime scoring to less than 45 points.

This is crucial.

This is the fewest points the Heat have scored in a half so far in the new season.

Their defense was very successful against the Heat tonight.

From a strategic point of view, "cutting the shark" at the beginning was not a particularly correct decision. At the end of the half, Shaq had scored 16 points, including 10 shots and scored 7 goals.If he hadn't made only 6 of 2 free throws, his score could have been even higher tonight.

That "shark chop" clearly pissed him off.

But the defense against others was still very successful.

Wade was restricted by the Spurs' perimeter defense group led by Bruce Bowen, and only scored 5 points in the half.

In addition, Tim Duncan did a good job of restricting Woody.

Except for the first round, there were not many head-to-head confrontations between them in the first half, but Woody only took 7 shots in the first half, which can also be seen from Tim Duncan's defensive focus in this game. Focus on limiting Woody from catching the ball.

This strategy has been used by Artest before and was extremely successful.

Barkley said: "Obviously the Spurs have found a weakness in Woody from the video of that game. His ability to get rid of the ball without the ball needs to be improved."

This is actually not a big problem, because if you want to limit Woody without the ball, it is very important to have the same size as him and the same strength as him, at least not too weak.

So far, many teams have set out to restrict Woody from catching the ball, but there are only two people from two teams who have really done it, one is Artest, and the other tonight Tim Duncan.

"Tim, it is indeed a difficult mountain to climb!" ESPN's Mike Breen also lamented Tim Duncan.

这家伙上半场拿到了12分，此外还有6篮板3助攻2盖帽1抢断。

Compared to him, Woody only had 8 points in the first half, and only had 5 rebounds, which means he had 1 more assist than him.The same is true for the data on the defensive end. One block and one steal seem to be just the same.

The data was slightly suppressed. This is the first time that this has happened to Woody in the new season.

Facing Tim Duncan, Woody obviously still has a lot of problems.

Stan Van Gundy didn't say much.

As the head coach, he looked at the game from an overall perspective. The Heat's insiders did not suffer. Shaq and Woody scored 24 points.

For the Spurs, Tim Duncan scored 12 points, but Rasu only scored 3 points, adding up to 15 points.

The Heat's inside actually won by 9 points!
Tim Duncan saw some advantages in the matchup, but this was all based on the fact that he was unable to provide timely support to Rasu as usual.It is equivalent to saying that Woody restrained Tim Duncan's help defense at the basket and weakened part of his ability in this area.

The real reason the Heat lost in the first half was on their perimeter.

Ginobili scored 17 points in the first half alone, one point more than Shaquille O'Neal.It was his wild state that gave the Spurs the lead.

After this guy came back from the Olympics, he became even more "crazy" and his style of play was unreasonable. This touch was even more unstoppable.

In the second half, if the Heat want to recover the point difference, they have to find a way to restrict this guy.

Stan Van Gundy's routine is also very simple. Let Wade force him to break through the basket, and then use the help of Woody and Gerald Wallace to interfere with his layup.

Anyway, given his state tonight, Van Gundy doesn't plan to let him shoot from the outside anymore.

Wade looked numb and nodded numbly.

Tonight is another night for the opponent's perimeter to work together to subdue.

This has been going on for several nights in a row...

This made his mentality somewhat ups and downs.

You know, people no longer talk about the "Three Cs of the Heat". When it comes to the Heat, they are all "Audi" combinations. Damn it, Wade has almost lost track of this person.At this moment, he was extremely anxious.

But as the "biggest war criminal" in the first half, what can he do now?
He could only obey and do as he was told.

Now he is just short of a chance.

Not to prove how great he is, but to prove that he will get back what belongs to him!
Just wait and see!

The second half began immediately.

As soon as they came up, the Heat followed what Stan Van Gundy said. At the same time that Ginobili got the ball, they immediately arranged for Wade to step forward and force him to break through with the ball.

The Argentinian didn't hesitate. Seeing how hard Wade was forcing him, he turned around and broke through after a pause. He used his explosive power to get into position and trapped Wade behind him.Gerald Wallace pressed him as he got to the free throw line.

Ginobili's vision was pretty good. He caught a glimpse of Wallace and immediately looked for his teammates.

Bruce Bowen, who was left open, raised his hand for an open three-pointer.

"Dangdang!"

Miss!

This was his first shot tonight.

But when the ball popped up, he didn't panic. I have Tim Duncan. What should I be afraid of?
Duncan also kept Woody firmly stuck behind him while observing the position of the basketball popping up.

But before the ball even bounced out, Woody behind him had already exerted his strength. This caught Duncan off guard and disrupted his rhythm.This time, he didn't care about getting stuck anymore, but just stared at the basketball. When the ball popped up, he immediately jumped up, but a figure next to him jumped high and grabbed the ball faster than him.
