Of course, I have confidence, which comes from the fact that the opponent will not feel that I have confidence.
Because you won't, that's why I will! Although he usually rarely opens the golden mouth, Duncan's ability to complete the work is very strong. Back in the 2008 playoffs, the Spurs' Duncan and Nash's Suns met in the first round, and G1 played extremely fiercely, with the two sides winning and losing through two overtimes.
Back on the final attack of the first overtime, the Spurs held the ball and trailed the Suns 101-104.

After retiring from the army, in an interview with the Chinese media, the reporter informed Duncan that this statement is very popular in China and asked Duncan's opinion, Duncan of course knew that it was ridicule, and then he made a clarification with a serious and bad smile: Manu hair loss is completely his own problem, and it is a matter of my ass.
The most interesting thing is that Ginobili also came to China to do activities after retiring, and then the guests asked him if his hair was touched by Duncan. It can only be said that Ginobili is also very entertaining, does not mind his sore spots being joked, and then cooperates with the bite to have something to do with Duncan, claiming: Yes, blame Duncan, because he is a special person with special magic.

Fifth, my negotiation skills are really poor.
Back in 2012, the Spurs kept Duncan for three years and $30 million, when Duncan was a big forward averaging 17 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks per game, which was his second salary cut for his parent team.

At the press conference for the new season, the reporter routinely asked Duncan why he was willing to accept such a low-price contract to renew the Spurs, and Duncan replied solemnly: My negotiation skills are really poor, Bobo said to find a place to talk about the contract, and then get me.
When no one sighs for you, and when no one cheers for you, this is the time to make you happen.
The road to success is always crowded, who was not born without a name? Looking back on his own path to success, when he wanted to give some experience to young people, Duncan revealed his heart and hoped to encourage you.
Third, listen to me, spurs must not fall here!
If you just look at the literal, fans may feel that this sentence is not ordinary, let alone a classic? However, if you understand the story before and after that paragraph, this sentence is really too moving.
Back in the 2013 Finals, the Spurs fought fiercely with the Heat in seven games and finally lost. In the final 53 seconds of the crucial life-and-death attack, Duncan took the Ginobili to feed the ball and fell into the inside line, in front of the Heat's forward battier Battier, a perfect and must-eat mismatch.
Facing Battier, Duncan rolled in and immediately held high, completing a minimally disturbing basket before Battier could react, but the basketball came out of the frame. Again, Duncan had the physical and card advantage, completed a close layup in the air, or failed to hit, the ball was taken by the Heat, and Duncan, who has always been as stable as Tarzan, missed two consecutive best opportunities for the Spurs to equalize.

On the 2014 playoff trip, the Spurs encountered the obstruction and stubborn resistance of the thunder in the Western Conference Finals, and leonard once sleepwalked and lost his soul. During the pause, Duncan's mood was a rare excitement, trying to wake Leonard up, with a murderous and angry look, to Leonard's lesson: Listen to me, spurs must not fall here!
Second, without further ado, get ready to win!
Back in the day, after descending into the Holy City as a rookie, the team held a grand welcome ceremony in the center of the city square, and many Spurs fans in the city gathered in the square to let Duncan feel the city's welcome to him.
In the speech session after the appearance, Duncan walked up to the podium with a little shyness, and then directly promised: It is good to be here, don't say much, get ready to win big! After that, Duncan paused tactically, led everyone to applaud and put on the classic Spurs 21 robe.

First, the future is yours, this time thank you for giving up the championship to us.
Back in the 2007 NBA Finals, the Spurs beat the Cavaliers 4-0 overall, the first time Duncan and James met in the Finals. After defeating James' team, Duncan deliberately found James in the corridor to "comfort" him, and hugged him after saying the classic phrase "The future is yours" to him. That year, Duncan was 31 and James was 23.
The most classic thing is that in the 2014 Finals seven years later, the 38-year-old Duncan led his Spurs to beat the Big Three Heat led by James 4-1 on aggregate to win his fifth and final championship, which made the "future is yours" golden sentence full of drama.
