This lineup has one advantage: confrontation, speed, height, three points, defense, defense.
If nothing else, let's talk about inside defense. Olajuwon is the first shot-blocking king in the history of the regular season, Duncan is the first shot-blocking king in the history of the playoffs, and the two super defense gates are combined into one. The inside line of this lineup has really become a "forbidden area", which is difficult to fly, and no fly can get in. Duncan called it "one-man defense", and Dream was called "tight encirclement" by people at that time. Think about it.
The offensive end is equally scary. Duncan and Olajuwon are also super insiders who can repair both inside and outside. Both of them have shots, and both of them have inside singles. Their athletic ability is equally excellent. They can play high and low, have dreams for a while and have big basic principles for a while. No team insider can compete with such a combination.
Why put Durant in the front line? Because this guy is also a superstar with both offensive and defensive skills. If he wants to play singles, he must have three points. He has top-class skills of holding and not having the ball. He has long legs and long feet, and his defense is first-class. With Duncan and Olajuwon, his long arm was almost blocked at half-time.
Needless to say, Jordan and Curry joined forces. These two men, a three-pointer and a backward jumper, are invincible in the world. The whole half is their firepower. These two men are also at the top level of no ball+holding the ball. You can't double-team anyone.
