有时候，结果正如人们所预期的那样。在我们的马刺一对一锦标赛系列开始时，我曾好奇是否会在球迷投票中看到任何惊天冷门。你可能会说，马努·吉诺比利 (Manu Ginobili) 击败巅峰时期的科怀·伦纳德 (Kawhi Leonard) 是本届锦标赛最大的冷门。我曾希望能有一场出人意料的冠军对决，但我们最终迎来的，是马刺队史最伟大的两名球员之间的巅峰之战——大卫·罗宾逊 (David Robinson) 与蒂姆·邓肯 (Tim Duncan)。
以下是四强赛的官方结果，正是这场比赛促成了我们的冠军对决：
在我们进入对决分析之前，再次重申一下比赛规则：
- 每位球员都处于其马刺生涯的巅峰时期。因此，像科怀·伦纳德或多米尼克·威尔金斯 (Dominique Wilkins) 这样的球员，将代表他们在马刺的巅峰赛季，而非其整个职业生涯的最佳状态。
- 锦标赛采用传统的单挑规则。半场，比赛为11分制（两分线内计1分，两分线外计2分），率先得到11分者获胜。不允许抢进攻篮板，得分后需在中线回球。本次比赛中，我们将采用交替球权的方式，因此没有“进球继续进攻”的规则。
- 锦标赛为单败淘汰制。一旦球员失利，即被淘汰。
请在下方的投票中选出您心目中的锦标赛冠军。
蒂姆·邓肯 (1号种子) vs. 大卫·罗宾逊 (2号种子)
Marilyn： 我想我们都知道，最终的对决会是他们两人：马刺队史最伟大的两位球员。他们恰好都是风格迥异但又极具统治力的内线巨星，在攻防两端都能独当一面。虽然蒂米（邓肯昵称）是一位球风更稳健扎实的球员，但罗宾逊在他巅峰时期是一位身体素质惊人的怪物。尽管我相信邓肯的成功和职业生涯的长度使他在NBA历史地位上更高，但在这次一对一的对决中，我最终还是会选择“海军上将”来战胜他。这将是一场两位防守巨擘之间的激烈较量，他们都拥有强大的低位技术，但在中距离以外的进攻手段都比较有限。正因如此，唯一真正的优势在于罗宾逊更胜一筹的力量和运动能力，而这正是他赢得一切所需的微弱优势。
Jacob： 这是一场极其难以预测的对决。两位球员都拥有无可挑剔的履历：MVP赛季、最佳防守阵容、总冠军。在各自的巅峰时期，他们都是不可阻挡的低位威胁和顶级的护筐手。这场对决是扎实的基本功与纯粹运动天赋的碰撞。这将是一场在低位的持久战，双方可能会不断完成成功的防守。我相信邓肯是NBA历史前十的球员。然而，在这场特定的对决中，我更看好罗宾逊。在一场马拉松式的一对一比赛中，我相信罗宾逊的身体优势会给他带来微弱的领先，即便邓肯是更全面的球员。
Jesus： 这场锦标赛似乎命中注定要由队史最伟大的两名球员来一决高下。即便早已预料到这一点并有足够的时间来思考这场对决，我仍然很难判断谁会最终胜出。就身体天赋和得分能力而言，罗宾逊似乎是更具统治力的球员，但在心态层面，邓肯则更胜一筹。“海军上将”并非软弱之辈，他对抗那个时代一些顶尖内线时的挣扎，更多是因为那些家伙本身就是真正的猛兽。尽管如此，邓肯在其职业生涯中证明了自己是何等沉着冷静，并且总能在关键时刻提升自己的比赛水平和强度。比赛会极其胶着，但我能预见到“大基本功”会像他在整个职业生涯中那样， просто找到赢球的办法。
J.R.： 当我思考这两位作为马刺基石的（第一代）队史内线之间的对决时，脑海中浮现出一个小故事。那是在1997年，地点是德克萨斯州克尔维尔的施赖纳大学校园，当时正值每年的这个时候，圣安东尼奥马刺队正在那里举行训练营。大卫·罗宾逊曾这样评价新秀蒂姆：“我是当时联盟里最好的防守者之一，但我真的防不住他。那让我有点慌了神。” 当然，那时的罗宾逊已经32岁，肯定不是巅峰状态。但同时，那时的蒂姆还只是个新秀。

Pounding the Rock’s All-Time Spurs 1-on-1 Tournament: Championship
Sometimes the results are as expected. Going into our Spurs 1-on-1 tournament series, I wondered if we’d see any crazy upsets in the fan voting. You could argue Manu Ginobili overcoming prime Kawhi Leonard was the biggest upset of the tournament. I had hoped for an unexpected championship matchup, but we ultimately got was a battle between the two best players in Spurs franchise history – David Robinson and Tim Duncan.
Here are the official results of the Final Four, which led to our championship matchup:
Here is a reminder of the rules before we get into the matchups:
- Each player is at the prime of their Spurstenure. So someone like Kawhi Leonard or Dominique Wilkins would represent their peak season as a Spur, not the best of their career.
- Assume traditional 1-on-1 rules for the tournament. Half court, games to 11 straight up (ones and twos), no offensive rebounds, and checking the ball after a score. For this exercise, we’ll be alternating possessions, so no “make it, take it.”
- Single elimination tournament bracket. If a player loses, they are done.
Vote in the poll below to crown the winner of the tournament.
Tim Duncan (1) vs. David Robinson (2)
Marilyn: I think we all knew it would come down to this: the Spurs two greatest players of all time, who both happen to be different but dominant big men who could hold their own on both ends of the court. While Timmy is a more methodical player, Robinson was an athletic freak of nature at his peak. While I believe Duncan’s success and longevity makes him a higher ranking players in NBA history, I ultimately have to go with the Admiral to overcome him in a one-on-one match-up. It will be a tight one between two defensive juggernauts who both have strong post games but are limited beyond mid-range, and because of that, the only real advantage goes to Robinson’s superior strength and athleticism, and that’s just the edge he needs to win it all.
Jacob: This is an incredibly difficult matchup to figure out. Both players have an impeccable track record. MVP seasons, all-defensive teams, championships. At their peak, both players were unstoppable post presences and lock down rim protectors. This matchup is fundamentals vs. sheer athletic force. This will be a battle on the block that could go on and on, with both players getting stop after stop. I believe Duncan is a top-10 NBA player of all-time. However, I like Robinson in this particular matchup. In a marathon type 1-on-1 game, I believe in Robinson’s physical advantage to give him the slight edge, even if Duncan is the better all-around player.
Jesus: The tournament seemed predestined to come down to the two best players in franchise history. Even with that knowledge and plenty of time to think about the matchup, it has been hard to figure out who would come out on top. Robinson seems like the more dominant player in terms of physical tools and scoring ability, but in terms of mindset, Duncan has an edge. The Admiral wasn’t soft, and his struggles against some of the elite big men that played during his era have more to do with those guys being absolute beasts than anything else. Still, Duncan proved unflappable during his career and was always willing to up his game and his intensity in crucial moments. It would be extremely close, but I can see Big Fun simply finding a way to win, like he did throughout his career.
J.R.: As I consider the matchup of the (first) two franchise big men to serve as the foundation of the Spurs, there’s a single anecdote that comes to mind. It’s from 1997 in Kerrville, Texas on the campus of Schreiner University where San Antonio was holding its training camp, at just about this time of year. David Robinson has said about rookie Tim, “I was one of the best defenders around and I couldn’t really stop him. That was a little unsettling to me.” Sure, that was the 32-year-old version of David, not prime Robinson to be sure. But also, that was Tim as a rookie.
