The old naughty boy told Guo Jing a story: Once upon a time, there was a martial artist, when he was young, he was killed by people, only he escaped by chance, in order to take revenge, he hid in the deep mountains to cultivate, wanted to practice the world's martial arts to get revenge, time flies, I don't know how long it took, he consciously practiced, went out of the mountains to find the enemy family, did not expect that the enemy family has died, it turned out, he hid in the deep mountains to practice, unconsciously 50 years have passed!
The old naughty boy told Guo Jing: Don't always think about revenge, God will clean up all the enemies for you.
Duncan, an old rapist for 19 years, is older than his famous host, and must have retired earlier than him; Younger than him, he also survived to the peak, semi-retired. Until his retirement, Duncan did not find a suitable successor, or there was no "imitation" of young people who were very similar, and even "not like Gods" could not be achieved.
In 1997, Duncan became a draft pick, what was the state of the league's top interior line at that time?
That year's center was a big dream, but his state was obviously not as good as in 1996, and the data of the big dream in 96 was 26.9 +10.9+3.6 assists + 2.9 blocks, and in 97 years it was 23.2+9.2+3 assists + 2.2 blocks, falling below 20+10, which did not have much to do with Barkley joining the "decentralization", mainly because of the big dream itself, after the 1996 Olympic Games. Big Dream marries a young petite wife, and then, you know.
In the 1997-98 season, Big Dream played only 47 games, and the wind was gone.
So why did Big Dream become a center in 1997?
No way.
Admiral Rowe was reimbursed for the season; although the Sharks had a blast of data, averaging 26.2+12.5+3.1 assists per game, they only played 51 games, and the Lakers' record was not as good as the Rockets; the only one who could break the wrist with Big Dream was Lyin the Gorilla, who averaged 22.4+10.7+2.4 per game that season, due to the inferior record of the Rockets, relegated to the second team, Nash or the Last Peak, the Sharks traveled west, he became the Starting Center of the Eastern Conference, neither Uncle Mu nor Monin could shake his position, But he was absent due to injury, who would have thought, this was his final year in the All-Star and All-Team, and in the 1997-98 season, the 35-year-old Ewing suffered the biggest injury of his career, missed 55 games, and then his legs could never go back to the past.
In the 1997-98 season, the best center was the Sharks, which was the first time in his career to be selected for the first time of the year, and only selected in the sixth year of his career, which shows how the amazingly talented Sharks were suppressed by the old three, in other words, when Duncan entered the industry, it was the node of the three major centers on the rapid decline, and the young Duncan accelerated the aging of the old three!
In the 1997-98 season, the league was played by Jordan and Malone, 35, Payton, 30, Sharks, 26, and Duncan, 22, the top five regular season MVP selections, and it happened to be these 5 people:
Jordan received 35.9% of the vote
Malone 27.7%
Payton14.3%
Sharks10.3%
Duncan 4.9%
That year's second-team forwards were Hill, as well as Vinbek, who was swapped with Rainman Kemp; the third-team forwards were Pippen and Hornets chief scorer Glenn. That is, in addition to Malone and Duncan, the only people who could be called big forwards at that time were Vinbek and Rainman Kemp (Eastern Conference All-Star starting big forwards), Webb was still sinking in the quagmire of Washington at that time, Garnett was very popular, but still idol-oriented.
Then, after a long labor dispute, the rain man turned into a meat man, and Vinbek became an alcoholic, and fell.
In the 1998-99 season, the Spurs Jazz record was 37-13, according to the divisional record Spurs topped the league list, but the MVP belonged to Malone, Duncan ranked No. 3 in the selection, and the second was Tonin who led the Heat to the first place in the East, winning the best defensive player and block king!
2000 should be the most turbulent year of Duncan's career, the end of the regular season suffered a devastating injury, the team was eliminated in the first round, the limelight was overshadowed by shark Morningn KG, his family became a free body, and he finally stayed with the Spurs between the moves, but he only renewed his contract for three years, after all, after three years, no one knows what will happen.
In the 2000 Olympic Games, Monin as the only serious center to help the United States win gold, Riley strategized to upgrade the Heat lineup, everything is foreshadowing, the 2001 Finals is the "Giant War" - Sharks & Morningin, and then, kidney disease came, Mourning fell, and this and "dominance" tips.
In the 2000-01 season, the league's first regular season was still the Spurs, but the most popular big forward was Weber, who was selected as the best player of the year for the first and only time, which was also his last year to play 70 games in a "full body" situation.
In 2002, Duncan won the first regular season MVP of his career, Ewing retired with Big Dream, Big Yao and Xiao Si joined hands, coincidentally, Big Yao took over the Big Dream banner to become another epoch-making center in Houston, and Xiao Si unveiled the Knicks revival a few years later.
In 2003, Duncan won the championship with a single core, won the MVP, and three legends - Jordan, Admiral and Stockton joined hands to return to the hidden mountain forest
In 2004, the top three MVP players were all big forwards, Garnett, Duncan and O'Neal Jr
In 2005, the Timberwolves fell off a cliff, Auburn Hills destroyed the Pacers, injuries also found Xiao Ao, and the driver was selected for the first time in the annual team, with a posture of being on a par with Duncan.
In 2006, the Spurs were eliminated by the Mavericks in the semifinals, and the "Spurs are old" rhetoric became more and more hyped, and The Sharks were reimbursed for the season, and the Sharks were selected for the last time, and they could no longer turn the tide on their own.
In 2007, Xiao Si became a center, which was his only experience, the driver became the MVP, but neither the Mavericks nor the Suns, nor the hot Jazz, became the Western Conference Champions.
This year, Duncan said two sentences, one to LeBron, "The future is yours," and the other to praise Howard to the media after playing magic: "I'm glad that when he reached his peak, I was no longer playing in the league." ”
In 2008, Howard began a five-year straight forward journey, with Duncan playing the Sharks for the last time in the playoffs, 4-1.
In 2009, the Spurs were eliminated by the Mavericks in the first round, and the forwards were LeBron and the driver, and the 33-year-old Duncan seemed to be unable to move
In 2010, the Spurs fell to the 7th place in the West, although the first round of revenge Mavericks, but the semi-final was swept by the sun revenge, the media said "Duncan alone can no longer limit Amare!" ”
In 2011, Black Eight, the Grizzlies and Randolph began to attract attention, and in the same year, Xiao Si was injured at the end of the season and bid farewell to the peak.
In 2012, the first striker was Jandu, and the second striker was two new generations - Griffin & Loaf, when the dynasty changed, it seemed to really come, it used to be "wolves coming", this time the two came, asked you if you are afraid!?
In 2013, at the age of 37, Duncan became a center, Howard could no longer find a team that belonged to him alone, Griffin was ravaged by Randolph in the first round of the playoffs, and the satisfied black bear shouted "Ibaka is much tougher than Griffin!" "LeFu is dormant due to injury, but the 28-year-old Gasol Jr. has a big instrument late posture.
In 2014, the Blazers suddenly emerged, Ade suddenly became an unguarded mid-range shot, but he could only relegate to the third team, because the first team belonged to Jandu, the second team was controlled by Griffin and Love, Rao was so, Ade's first round of bloodbathed rockets, the semi-finals still had to pay tuition to the Spurs, and the final champion was still the Spurs.
In 2015, the 30-year-old Ard took a gun and surrendered, as if to become a Duncan descendant.
In 2016, 40-year-old Duncan retired with 40-year-old KG, 32-year-old Bosh fell ill, 28-year-old Love struggled to change himself to follow the Cavaliers to win the championship, and Griffin entered the countdown to the Clippers' days.....
None of them can play with patience
Finally, talking about the driver and KG, KG after the major injury in 2009, it can still be stable output, and the state of 2014 has dropped sharply, and it really has the feeling of an old dragon clock; the driver won the championship in 2011, was swept by the Thunder in 2012, and then can no longer return to the ranks of the first-line team, and the driver himself, after 2014, played very fairy.
I used to think Okafor was Duncan's trumpet
