Chapter 187
The game was a big success.
The small forward version of Han Yi didn't put in much effort, making 17 of 23 shots, scoring 43 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 11 blocks!
Han Yi's exclusive triple-double of blocks was scored again!
David Robinson, who no longer had to fight Han Yi, played the best game of this year's finals: 25 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, and 2 blocks!
However, it was useless. The barometer of whether the Spurs could win had long been replaced by Tim Duncan from David Robinson!
And what about Tim Duncan?
18 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 blocks, the data is reasonable, but the hit rate is:
Only 7 of 23 shots, less than 30% hit rate!
With the same 23 shots, Han Yi scored 43 points, Duncan only scored 18 points, the difference between the two of them alone is 25 points, and the difference between the two teams in today's game is 27 points.
The reason for the Spurs' defeat is obvious!
Duncan is very strong, very strong, and is known as a historical super young inside player, but he was ruthlessly blown into scum in the peak duel with Han Yi!
I thought this game was a memorial night for the San Antonio Spurs, but Han Yi turned it into a shadow night.
The shadow is not that the Spurs lost. Losing or winning is a common thing in the military, there is nothing to say, the uncomfortable thing is that the pillar of the next 20 years has been beaten by Han Yi and there is no hope!
Tim Duncan scored 46 points in the first game, 35 points in the second game, and 18 points in the third game. If it is counted as an average, it is 33 points per game, absolutely superstar level!
But if you look at the process of the game, it really makes the Spurs fans desperate!
When Han Yi and Duncan played their own games, although Han Yi's data exploded, Duncan was also on the court to kill Buddha and God!
But as soon as the person defending Duncan was replaced by Han Yi, Duncan immediately disappeared!
After the first two games, Spurs fans naively believed that although Han Yi was strong, Duncan was not weak either. Even as rookies in 1997, although Han Yi won the MVP this year, Duncan did not even make the top three MVPs, but they still blindly believed that Duncan's MVP was hacked!
But after this game, even the most brainless Spurs fans had no face to praise Duncan!
How can this be praised?
Watching the game, it's unbearable. Looking at the data, Duncan's data x2 can't catch up with Han Yi. Looking at the plus-minus value, it's even more unbearable. The most points were lost when Duncan was on the court!
It can be proved from all aspects that when Duncan's performance is compared with Han Yi, it is really a pure bad, there is no room for excuse!
Even Shaquille O'Neal, the defeated general who was just defeated by Duncan this year, jumped out to criticize him:
"Hey, if it weren't for the guy on the outside being too independent, I tell you, it should have been our Los Angeles Lakers who entered the finals. Duncan is no match for me in one-on-one. If I had to play against Han Yi, at least... I would be better than him... I always thought that only the guy on our team could score 18 points on 23 shots, but I didn't expect Duncan to be so bad."
The Spurs were indifferent to such trash talk. Kobe, who was on vacation, heard the reporter ask him this question and turned his face directly:
"If it was Han Yi who was my partner, I would still be playing basketball now, instead of fishing for almost a month!!"
The noise outside had nothing to do with Popovich, who was in the center of the storm at this moment, because he only cared about one thing:
How to limit Han Yi? Because if Han Yi was not effectively restricted, then this round of the finals would definitely be lost!
Popovich repeatedly watched all the shots of Han Yi on both offense and defense in the three games edited by the editor. He started watching with the greatest determination, but the more he watched, the more desperate he felt!
Limit Han Yi? Is there really a way to limit him?
Single defense?
Obviously, if Han Yi plays inside, Tim Duncan is the strongest inside defense gate of their Spurs, and then this gate was completely demolished by Han Yi.
As for David Robinson, his defense was really good when he was young, but now David Robinson is afraid that he can't even get into Han Yi's main dish. He can only be an appetizer. He doesn't even need to chew it. David Robinson will melt in his mouth.
If Han Yi plays outside, it's over. Facing Han Yi, who is seven feet tall and can crossover skillfully, the Spurs can't even pick out a guy who can limit him a little bit!
Speaking of defending outside
The best player to attack Han Yi was Scottie Pippen last season. He was tall, had long arms, and had a certain amount of strength. More importantly, he had rich defensive experience. Facing Han Yi last season, Pippen's continuous close steals made Han Yi make mistakes.
But you also know that this happened last season, and Han Yi's evolution is obviously much stronger than last season. Pippen could defend Han Yi last season, but it doesn't mean he can defend him this season.
More importantly, it's too late for the Spurs to rent Pippen from the Houston Rockets. If they want to defend Han Yi, it's better to pray to God and hope that Han Yi's touch will drop rather than picking someone out of the Spurs.
As for double-teaming Han Yi?
That's even more nonsense. When Han Yi attacks in the low post, he can indeed be slightly restricted by double-teaming, but now Han Yi has moved his work area to the three-point line from the third game. If a small man of about 1.9 meters is asked to double-team Han Yi, Han Yi can't see them unless he lowers his head.
What if the Spurs' inside line double-team Han Yi? Not to mention whether Han Yi will pass him in one step in terms of speed, even if they really defend Han Yi, it won't work. In this case, the Spurs' inside line will be completely empty, and won't the Celtics be able to dunk at will?
Compared with the Spurs players, the other Celtics players are not strong, but they are not weak either. They can still dunk without inside line protection!
"What should I do, what should I do?"
Popovich was so anxious that he almost plucked himself bald.
An elderly assistant coach said pessimistically:
"I have looked through all the tactical books and can't find a way to limit Han Yi. As long as he can play normally, we can only admit defeat."
"Play normally?"
A flash of lightning flashed through Popovich's mind:
"Isn't there a way now!"
