Legendary star

Chapter 730

"Dako, pay attention to your defensive position, don't let that guy score easily."

When the finals between the Pacers and the Spurs started with Tim Duncan and Meng Xu facing each other, the Pacers and Spurs quickly entered a stalemate. Inside the Pacers, NN-Hilario was replaced by Darko Milicic in the first 2 minutes because of two fouls. Fell into a foul crisis, but Darko Milicic obviously lacked confidence when facing Tim Duncan. Coupled with his lack of experience in major competitions, it directly led to Tim Duncan taking Darko Milicic's Defense is like air.

As for the Pacers, Meng Xu has been ravaging the Spurs' outside lines, breaking through, shooting, and making Bruce Bowen and Michael Finley ecstatic, but the efficiency of outside players is high, there is no way Compared with the inside players, coupled with Tim Duncan's continuous damage to the Pacers' inside, it directly led to the fact that although the Pacers did not lose the wind on the scene, they always lagged behind the Spurs in score.

In this case, Rick Carlisle can only count on Darko Milicic to effectively defend Tim Duncan, at least slightly limit his offensive success rate, as for Jermaine O'Neal To double-team Tim Duncan, Rick Carlisle also tried just now, but Robert Holly's two consecutive open three-pointers soon forced the Pacers to give up the double-teaming of Tim Duncan.

As for Darko Milicic, who Rick Carlisle placed high hopes on, after experiencing the finals of the 05 season, sitting on the bench and witnessing Tim Duncan blowing up the Pistons' double Wallace inside combination , Darko Milicic fears Tim Duncan even more than Shaquille O'Neal, so when Darko Milicic heard that the head coach handed over the important task of defending Tim Duncan to himself, Dako Milicic Ko Milicic has been muttering in his heart, Ben Wallace and Rasheed Wallace were both blown up by Tim Duncan, and he alone can prevent this terrible guy?
"Dako, don't put too much psychological pressure on him. That guy is nothing to be afraid of. Don't look at his hideous expression. He's actually just bluffing. If you're really scared, you're in his way. , don't be afraid of him, hit him hard, and don't be afraid of fouls, he is already old now, and his arrogance won't last long." After Rick Carlisle yelled at Darko Milicic, Meng Xu He pulled Darko Milicic to his side, taught him the opportunity, and stepped on Duncan, hoping to let Darko Milicic muster courage and fighting spirit. After entering the finals, most players will Confused and at a loss, they all need a process to adapt to the rhythm and atmosphere of the finals.

"I see, boss." After Meng Xu reminded him for a while, Darko Milicic's fair face instantly turned red. Played less than 10 minutes in garbage time. Although he didn't get a chance to match up with Tim Duncan, Darko Milicic was still shocked by Tim Duncan's powerful dominance in that round of the finals. .

Milicic has made great progress this season, and even scored 30+10 when facing Shaquille O'Neal, but when he meets Tim Duncan, Darko Milicic will unconsciously feel that My heart trembled, so in the game just now, Darko Milicic was obviously a little afraid of physical confrontation with Tim Duncan.

"That's right, Darko, don't be afraid of that facial paralysis, cover him like you did with that big fat man." When Meng Xu pulled Darko Milicic to encourage and enlighten him, Jeme who passed by them Yin-O'Neill also took the opportunity to say sarcastic remarks, which caused Meng Xu to roll his eyes at him all the time. You are afraid that Duncan will die, so you have the nerve to teach others.

"Well, I will work hard." Seeing the team's first and second leaders running over to encourage him, Darko Milicic instantly felt that no matter what, he could not be sorry for their trust, nor could he To live up to the expectations of the head coach, even if you are not Tim Duncan's opponent, you have to give it a try, just like you did when you faced O'Neal, show your strength and courage to face him calmly.

After the encouragement of Meng Xu and Jermaine O'Neal, when Darko Milicic defended Tim Duncan again, he was obviously not as timid as before. All of O'Neal's means, as if facing an enemy, against Tim Duncan behind his back.

Tim Duncan, who was attacking with the ball, also obviously felt the difference in Darko Milicic, so in this offense, Tim Duncan was more focused than before.

"This kid's strength is so strong?" After continuous muscle collisions, Tim Duncan suddenly discovered that this handsome-looking little guy was even stronger than NN-Hilary and Jermaine O'Neal. It's just a pity that his defensive skills and game experience are obviously lacking. After consecutive backs failed to displace Darko Milicic, Tim Duncan made a set of fake moves on the spot, and then Taking advantage of the opportunity to turn around and jump shot, although the shot missed, it also caused Darko Milicic's defensive foul.

"Dako, you did a great job. You are better than Jermaine." Although Darko Milicic failed to defend, and because he was tricked by Tim Duncan's fake move, he turned to Tim Duncan in a panic. Tim Duncan fouled, but in this defense, Darko Milicic still has a lot of bright spots, at least when defending Duncan's post-up singles, Milicic has never lost his position, which is very rare , If the Pacers can pull out an inside line to double-team Duncan when he backs Milicic, then Duncan may be restricted to death.

"This little guy is really good. He is excellent in all aspects, but his game experience is a little bit lacking." Although the Pacers' defense this time was not successful, but for Darko Milicic And talent, Reggie Miller obviously appreciates it very much, so when Barkley boasted that Tim Duncan was unstoppable, Reggie Miller kept praising Darko Milicic.

"Indeed, players who can withstand Tim Duncan's post-up attack are definitely one of the few players in this league. From this alone, we can see that this little guy is indeed very talented. If it wasn't for Larry- Brown has wasted too much time, I am afraid that Darko Milicic is now among the league's top stars like LeBron, Cameron, and Dwyane." I don't know Magic Johnson and Larry- There is any enmity between Brown, and now Larry Brown is pulled out again to disgust him.
