And his defensive ability was far better than his father's.
Shooting Guard (SG): Randle;
Small Forward (SF): Vassell;
Power Forward (PF): Little Duncan;
Center (C): Wemby.
The Spurs' lineup was formidable on defense, and their offense was no less impressive.
Like the Pistons, they were a well-balanced team, ranking among the league's top three on both offense and defense.
Against a team like that, winning would be incredibly difficult.
Wemby and Aiton contested the jump ball to start the second half.
Aiton was shorter than Wemby, had a shorter wingspan, couldn't jump as high, and was even older.
So there was no suspense: the other team won the jump ball.
Little Nash then brought the ball across half court.
Once he reached the frontcourt, Wemby set a screen for him. Little Nash drove to the mid-range, while Wemby rolled toward the basket.
Little Nash casually flicked the ball up and lobbed it to Wemby.
With Aiton defending him in the paint, Wemby leaped high, caught the ball in midair, and slammed it through the hoop over Aiton.
Wemby was already 36, but with his height and long arms, he had no trouble dunking over Aiton, who was already 40.
The Lakers came back on offense.
Bryce James dribbled beyond the three-point line, then looked up at Wang Yi, hoping to find a chance to pass him the ball.
But the other team was clearly focused on defending Wang Yi. No matter where he moved without the ball, someone was always ready to close in on him.
Bryce couldn't get the ball to Wang Yi, so he had to force a shot from mid-range.
Unfortunately, his shot wasn't falling today, and the attempt missed.
The Spurs came back on offense.
Little Nash once again ran a Pick and Roll with Wemby.
