But tonight, within the first three minutes of play, the Spurs gave every ball to Duncan, who, like a god of war, went 6-for-8 above Brown's head, including ruthlessly putting back his own missed shots right in Brown's face.
Duncan unleashed his might, and the Spurs led the SuperSonics 14 to 4 early in the game.
Coach Lu looked panicked, feeling as though his hands and feet were tied; the pregame strategies had had no effect because none of them had expected the Spurs to play so simply and brutally.
I have an advantage in the paint? Then I'll just keep attacking the paint!
Does this even resemble an NBA team, can't they pull off some more sophisticated plays? But then Coach Lu suddenly realized, does it matter if the play is simple or difficult, as long as it's effective? What's wrong with giving the ball to the best player on the court?
Right, isn't this the secret to his own survival in the NBA?
