Chapter 91: Even if it's the End of the World, I Still Wouldn't Choose You
Duncan easily won the tip-off.
The Wizards players swiftly retreated in defense, with Yu Fei matching up against Bowen, who always stood in the corner.
On the other side, Duncan's aggressive post-up positioning naturally made him the Spurs' go-to offensive player.
Doug Collins' defensive strategy for Duncan was clear: as soon as he received the ball in the low post, they would collapse on him and double-team.
Parker was left wide open by Jordan, not just in front, but in all three directions up to the free-throw line, no one was guarding him.
And in the instant the Wizards' defense collapsed, Duncan passed the ball to Parker.
Although Parker said in his Hall of Fame speech that Duncan hadn't spoken a word to him in his rookie season, it was clear that Duncan had done everything for him but talk.
With such an open shot, Parker could take the shot without any burden.
