Chapter 189
The small forward version of Han Yi didn't put in much effort, he made 17 of 23 shots, got 43 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, and 11 blocks!
Han Yi's exclusive block triple-double 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 The barometer of whether the Spurs can win has long been replaced by Tim Duncan from David Robinson!
And what about Tim Duncan?
18 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 blocks, which is reasonable just looking at the data, but the hit rate:
Only 7 of 23 shots, less than 30% hit rate!
With the same 23 shots, Han Yi scored 43 points, and Duncan only scored 18 points. The difference between the two of them alone was a full 25 points, and the difference between the two teams in today's game was 27 points.
The reason for the Spurs' defeat is obvious!
Duncan is very strong, very strong, and is known as a historically strong young inside player, but he was ruthlessly beaten to pieces in the peak match with Han Yi!
I thought this game was a memorial night for the San Antonio Spurs, but it was turned into a shadowy night by Han Yi.
The shadowy part is not that the Spurs lost the game. Winning or losing is a common thing in the military, and there is nothing to say. The uncomfortable part is that Han Yi has beaten his pillar for the next 20 years and there is no hope for him!
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 calculated as an average data, it is 33 points per game, which is absolutely superstar level!
But if you look at the game process, it really makes Spurs fans desperate!
When Han Yi and Duncan played their own games, although Han Yi's data exploded, Duncan was also killing Buddhas and gods on the court!
But once the person defending Duncan was replaced by Han Yi, Duncan immediately disappeared!
After the first two games, Spurs fans still naively believed that although Han Yi was strong, Duncan was not weak either. Even though they were both rookies born in 1997, Han Yi won the MVP this year and Duncan didn't even make the top three of the MVP, but they were still brainlessly convinced that Duncan's MVP was hacked!
But after this game, even the most brainless Spurs fans didn't have the face to praise Duncan!
How can they praise him?
Watching the game, it's hard to watch. Looking at the data, Duncan's data × 2 can't catch up with Han Yi. Looking at the plus-minus value, it's even harder to watch. Duncan lost the most points when he was on the court!
All aspects can prove that when Duncan's performance is compared with Han Yi, it is really pure bad, and there is no room for excuses!
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 probably not even Han Yi's main dish. He can only be an appetizer. He doesn't even need to chew it. Once you chew it, David Robinson will melt.
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 a guy who can limit him a little bit!
Speaking of defending Han Yi from the outside, the best one 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 caused Han Yi to make mistakes repeatedly.
But you also knowThis is all 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 decline rather than picking someone out of the Spurs.
As for double-teaming Han Yi?
That's even more nonsense. When Han Yi is in the low post, he can be slightly restricted by double-teaming, but now Han Yi has moved from the third field to the three-point line. 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 double-team Han Yi? Not to mention whether Han Yi would pass them in one step in terms of speed, even if they really defended Han Yi, it would not work. In this case, the Spurs' inside line would be completely empty, and the Celtics would be able to dunk at will.
Compared with the Spurs players, the Celtics' other players are not strong, but they are not weak either. They can dunk the basket without inside protection at will!
"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!"
