Since the Spurs did not have an excellent center this season, Tim Duncan had to take the center position and give up the power forward position to Matt Bonner.

Otherwise, although Red Mamba Bonner has excellent shooting range and shooting percentage on the offensive end, on the defensive end, if he plays at the center, he will definitely be exposed.

This also led to legendary power forward Tim Duncan, who will complete the most direct match with the league's number one center Howard in this game.

Although Duncan's personal ability is very comprehensive and stable, and his 45-degree angle rubbing skill is a unique skill in the league, his defensive ability in the penalty area has always been underestimated.

However, if you really want to live up to Howard in the penalty area, it will definitely not be an easy task for Duncan today.

Popovich himself was also very helpless about this arrangement, because the Spurs really have no good candidates in the center position.

If Duncan doesn't need to reach the center position, then this means that the Spurs' starting center must use Cote Thomas.

Cote Thomas has a tough style of play and is strong in person. Although he is definitely the best choice for defense on the defensive end, his personal methods on the offensive end are too rough.

Strictly speaking, there is no offensive means at all, and it is difficult to guarantee a successful hit rate after grabbing a second rebound. Such a rough man can be said to be useless except on the defensive end.

As O'Neal grows older and loses his former dominance, it has become increasingly difficult for centers of the level of Thomas to make a living in the league.

Because although Howard is currently known as the number one center in the league, his offensive dominance is still far from that of the peak O'Neal.

The reason why he was able to become the league's number one center is because of Howard's terrifying bullet speed and reaction ability on the defensive end.

Before the game started, Su Jiu, who was won by Van Gundy again, was also a little nervous.

Because he has to face Tony Parker in this game, the legendary sports car that can lead the French men's basketball team to fight the American Dream Team.

This matchup is very different from the previous matchup with Derek Ross and Westbrook.

Although Westbrook and Ross were very famous in later generations, they are still rookies in the league after all.

Tony Parker is currently an All-Star defender and has a lot of offensive experience. At least compared to Su Jiu, it is enough to be a few streets away from him.

Under such circumstances, Su Jiu was also very nervous.

In addition to constantly begging the system to draw a good experience card, Su Jiu was even ready to be beaten by Parker.

Others think that Su Jiu's personal defense ability is very outstanding, which made the two prides of heaven at this draft continually lose their grief, but only Su Jiu himself knew in his heart that he had some luck in his heart...

So when facing the All-Star defender, Su Jiu didn't know what kind of performance he could play.

The moment he stepped onto the field and before the game was about to begin, the long-lost mechanical sound finally sounded in Su Jiu's mind.

【Ding ~ It was detected that the host is playing a competition and random selection is being performed for the host, please wait ~ 】

[Ding~The star experience card for this game has been drawn. Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Jamal Crawford experience card for the 2009-10 season.]

[The experience card will be completely invalid after the end of this game. I wish the host a happy basketball~]

After hearing the sound of the system, Su Jiu frowned unconsciously.

Because he drew a Crawford experience card with a history of over six in this game, Su Jiu didn't know whether this was good or bad news.

The good news is that he drew Crawford's experience card, which is definitely possible for Su Jiu to complete more offensive attacks on the offensive end.

At least it is much better than Tian Woyongta's experience card.

However, although Crawford plays very street-oriented and has excellent personal offensive ability, his defensive loopholes are definitely at the top of his history.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to be on the bench most of the time by the coach.

Because if they come on as a substitute, the opponents they have to face will be much weaker. While maximizing their offensive ability, they can also try to cover up the shortcomings of weak defense.

The reason why Su Jiu was taken to the starting lineup by Van Gundy in this game was because he was given too much trust and expectation by Van Gundy on the defensive end.

As a result, he directly drew a Jamal Crawford experience card, which made Su Jiu wonder whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

Although Jamal Crawford has the ability to explode with Tony Parker on the offensive end, on the defensive end, if Parker wants to pass him, it will be much harder than crossing the early morning road.

Thinking of this, Su Jiu secretly glanced at Van Gundy off the court, and then the expression on his face was indescribable.

"Hey, why bother... Why force me to take action..."

In this game, Su Jiu drew the Crawford experience card for the 2009-10 season.

In the 2009-10 season, Jamal Crawford also played for the Atlanta Hawks at that time and has always appeared as the sixth substitute.

In that season, Ke Liu won the Best Sixth Man Award of the season without any suspense with his average of 18 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3 assists.

In people's impression, Crawford has always been a unique player in playing basketball, and even often has alternative actions that only appear on the street court.

And because there are often some strong shots, the shooting percentage will definitely be relatively low.

But in the 2009-10 season, Crawford had a shooting percentage of 44.9% and a three-point shooting percentage of up to 38.2%.

Although the score was not Crawford's personal career high, his overall offensive efficiency has indeed reached the peak of his career.

Crawford's style of play can be said to be very strange. His unique style is very different from Nick Young's confident rhythm.

But if you say that he plays on the street, he is still essentially different from the street king Alstom, at that time.

This also leads to fans who often have a visual enjoyment when watching Crawford play, but when they think about it carefully, they can't tell where it makes people feel enjoyment.

It is worth mentioning that Crawford has maintained many historical records throughout his career.

In fact, the most conspicuous one is of course the only player in the history of the NBA League that has won the Best Sixth Man Award three times, so it is affectionately called Ke Liu.

Although this record is likely to be broken by another super sixth man in the Clippers, Louis Williams, in the future, if we mention the best sixth man in the NBA, I believe that the first thing that most people think of is Jamal Crawford.

And because Crawford's playing style on the court is very flexible, it is difficult for the defender to grasp a rhythm of defensive shooting and defensive breakthroughs when defending him.

This also led to Crawford also maintaining the record of the largest number of three pluses in NBA history.

Although this record is likely to be broken by James Harden of the Rockets in the future, fans will applaud whenever Crawford plays three plus one.

Every time Harden plays three plus one, fans will shout about the battle, which is really inconspicuous...

Crawford has maintained two NBA historical records in a row, but both of these NBA historical records are likely to be broken by others. It is hard to say whether this is an honor or a sadness.

Sadly his record will be broken by people, and honored that what they broke is the record left by Crawford...

And Crawford not only can he get fucked by himself on the court, but he can also get fucked by his opponents.

If Nick Young's excitement is that everyone wakes up and I am drunk alone, then Crawford is that everyone wakes up and I am awake alone...
Chapter completed!
