Chapter 899 The "abnormality" of the Spurs?
Game [-] of the Western Conference Finals, this is a situation that no one expected after the start of the series.

The Los Angeles Lakers actually pulled back a big score after falling behind by 3 games, drew with their opponents, and abruptly forced the San Antonio Spurs to the same starting line.This kind of grand event is the only 4 times in the history of the NBA. The first 3 times have failed, and they have not defeated "Fate".What will happen this time?
For this game, the league created a joint live broadcast of ESPN and TNT ingeniously. Under normal circumstances, this kind of situation does not exist.However, as long as the interests are sufficient, anything can be negotiated in a capitalist society.There is no absolute "iron law".

Obviously, this was "deliberately done" by the league.Because all fools know that ESPN is currently a staunch Lakers black, so fans of the San Antonio Spurs and fans who hate the Lakers are on this side. TNT is basically divided into the "Protection Lake" faction, perhaps not completely, but right now "profit comes first", and they also know what role they should play.

Before the game started, the ESPN live broadcast room invited a vote of "Lake Black" as guests, including Wes Unseld, Jerry Lucas, Rick Barry, and John Haflicek.These people are either "dissatisfied" with a certain player of the Lakers, or they don't like the Lakers at all, such as members of the Absolute Green Army, so the blind know what this is.

If you want to listen to the live broadcast of "Black Lakers" and "Spurs", please tune your TV or network signal to ESPN one. TNT, as always, has the "four fixed combinations", Barkley + Kenny Smith + O'Neal + Reggie Miller.Although it's hard to say that they are all Humi, the "distribution" of tasks has already come down, and TNT is the base of the "supporting Lake faction" in this game.If you want to listen to the Lakers-biased game, then press the remote to the TNT live channel.

Needless to say in China, it is absolutely "supporting the Lakers" or "supporting Tang Qian".This is a special property, and there is no possibility of wobbling.Tonight, the host of Tianchao Sports Channel will be on Weiping, Tangqian, Zhang and Meteor Shower.Since Tang Qian's competition was gradually lifted by "above", Zhang Weiping's "Tang Mi" attribute has become more and more obvious, and it is almost comparable to Yao Ming's "completely falling behind" back then.

The Staples Center, from the outside, began to be carefully arranged, with large posters of the main players, and a huge slogan printed: defend the home court and make history.Jenny Buss even spoke directly on her personal Twitter and the official Twitter of the Lakers: If this game can be won, everyone in the audience can get a hot dog and a hot drink with their tickets, and at the same time , 100 people will be randomly selected to present the signatures of all Lakers players and their jerseys and shoes.It can be said that she has already done everything a team owner should do before the game starts.

Let all the Lakers fans at the scene quickly integrate into the game and cheer for the home team.

Tickets for tonight's game can be said to be hard to come by. Except for season ticket holders, the price of temporary loose tickets has at least doubled several times compared to usual, which also allows the "scalpers" in Los Angeles to make a lot of money. Pen.

All in all, the atmosphere of tonight's game will definitely reach a climax, because the momentum in all aspects has reached a high level.

In the locker room of the home team at the Staples Center, D'Antoni was talking loudly. Although there were not many new ideas, it was considered to be in line with the current atmosphere and situation.After all, this is a key battle with ratings comparable to the finals.

The Lakers want to make history, and the Spurs want to defend history. In this game, they will go all out without reservation.

When entering the field to warm up, players from both sides began to greet each other regularly. Kobe and Duncan are naturally "old enemies". You are really strong, so I also know that your ambition is more than what people expected. And you are in the Lakers, and you will not be able to make it this year. You should know that if Kobe does not retreat, anyone will be in the Lakers There is no chance of being the boss."

"What does that have to do with you?"

"Yes." Duncan said: "My situation is different from Kobe's. I am the type who is willing to be a green leaf and a sparring partner. Haven't you noticed that although I am still the cornerstone of the team's defense, the chance to win the FMVP has already been rounded." It’s not for me anymore. Tony has also reached the critical point now, and Greg is gradually changing his blood. It is time to cultivate a new absolute core for the future.”

"Oh? So what?" Tang Qian said.

"So if you are willing to come to our San Antonio, I can persuade Greg to let you be the boss and the absolute core together with Kawhi, how about that? I believe you can't get this condition in the Lakers, right? So, hot, you You can think about it during the offseason, it will definitely be of great benefit to your career." However, after Duncan said this, Tang Qian smiled slightly and replied: "Tim, Tim, don't say What will happen to me in the Lakers in the future? Didn’t I tell you last time? I want other things besides the championship. For example, like you, to become a label and symbol of a city. In such a situation, you Think I can pull it off in San Antonio?"

"Why not? Coming here can quickly make you one of the absolute core of the team, believe me, I will be with..."

"No, no, Tim." Tang Qian continued to smile and said, "You still haven't figured out what I mean."

"I mean, I want to be the absolute and only boss of the team, the absolute and only core, understand? Do you really think that a team can have two so-called bosses? Two absolute cores Tang Qian shook his head and smiled, "The so-called two bosses and two cores are just a nice name for the outside world. You know the OK combination, you know that James and Wei are connected, and they say they are dual-core. In fact, who would really think that A team with 2 Tigers?"

"So." Tang Qian said in a very straightforward voice: "I don't want to play fake, what I want is the absolute boss position, the absolute core position, and everything else is out of my consideration. I'm not 03 Platinum For a generation, my thoughts are actually very 'old-fashioned'."

These remarks made Duncan stunned. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him from the East would not even look down on the most popular "dual-core" term, although Duncan never felt in his heart that a team really There can be such a saying as "two bosses".It's just, isn't this the general thinking of young players now?How does this guy think and think, um, how should I put it, so similar to the players of our era?

However, Duncan still seized the "loophole" in Tang Qian's language and said: "OK, hot, even if this is the case, the Lakers are not your best choice. With Kobe here, when will you be able to achieve your 'absolute boss'? "What about the goal of the 'sole core'? Professional players have a limited competitive lifespan, are you really willing to wait?" This is a naked "induction". It's all done, but he doesn't know what kind of "deals" or "deals" Tang Qian and Kobe made.Therefore, he is destined to be impossible to impress the No. 29 Lakers.

After all, aside from the fact that the Lakers are my favorite home team since I was a student, I managed to defeat Bynum, squeeze out Howard, get Kobe's promise of the transfer of kingship, and receive the new management who may be in charge of favor.Next year is the time for me to flex my muscles. If you want me to leave at this time, do you have a "watt" brain, or I have a "watt" brain. This time is whoever goes and who is an idiot, okay?
Talk about profit.In terms of market, although San Antonio is also one of the top ten cities in the United States, can it compare to Los Angeles, the city of Angels?In terms of team exposure and business diversification, how can your Spurs compare to the Lakers?

So, how to put it, if you leave the Lakers now for public and private purposes, then you are out of your mind.

Don't talk about Duncan, even if the negotiators come, it's useless.

Tang Qian glanced at Duncan, just smiled deeply, and said, "Don't worry Tim, I won't waste my career life so stupidly. Anyway, you don't need to worry about this. And, now The two of us are rival players, is it really okay for you to recruit me with such a big fanfare?" Duncan said: "What's the problem, anyway, we will win tonight, so I'm not too early, am I? "

"Win for sure?" Tang Qian frowned and said, "Tim, how dare you say it, do you think it's still time for your Spurs to score 0-3?" Duncan was not angry, but smiled Yi said: "No, but we all had reservations before. After all, the core of our team is old, and many things cannot be consumed so quickly. But since you have been forced to this level by the Los Angeles Lakers, then don't go all out. Explosion is not enough."

"Believe me, Tang, tonight is the true strength of our San Antonio Spurs."

"You will be absolutely blown away by the culture and team atmosphere of our team."

"Real strength? Do you mean that your Spurs didn't try their best before?" Tang Qian said in a displeased tone, "Do you think such stupid words can disturb me? Make me care?"

"No, hot, you'll know right away whether it's stupid or not." Before leaving, Duncan said, "Because this is the first time we've done this this whole season. Hehe, to be honest, maybe we I don’t even know how strong it will be.”

"So... Enjoy it. Regarding my proposal, you can think about it slowly during the offseason, and don't rush to give me an answer now."

Looking at the back of Duncan leaving, Tang Qian said a little annoyed: "Really? For the first time? I don't even know how strong I am? Do you think you can fool me with such foolish words? Really so strong, you guys Why did you do it before? It's just nonsense!!!"

Having said that, Tang Qian still had a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart.

After the warm-up is over, it’s time to introduce the lineup. The Spurs’ lineup for this game is Duncan + Ginobili + Parker + Leonard + Boris Diaw.Unexpectedly, because of this lineup, the Spurs usually only line up during the game, but they didn't expect it to appear so soon tonight.why?This lineup obviously has many problems and shortcomings.

What exactly was Popovich thinking?

Mike D'Antoni was a bit puzzled, but it wasn't the first time he and the former had played in a series, so he didn't think it was because the "old alcoholic" on the opposite side had drunk too much and became confused.There must be a reason, what is it?Forget it, I can't think of it right now, let's observe and ponder it while competing in the competition.

The Lakers' lineup is PG Steve Nash, SG Kobe Bryant, SF Jody Meeks, PF Paul Gasol, and C Tang Qian.This is also the most talked about lineup arrangement this season, "four kings + an ordinary role player".It seems that everything is so "pretty on paper".If only these people could be younger.

Standing in the middle circle, Tang Qian and the Spurs' No. 21 Tim Duncan had a scrum, and this scrum, basically from the moment it appeared, was without suspense.Not to mention the 38-year-old old Duncan, the 28-year-old peak Duncan, that is not Tang Qian's opponent for the ball.

In this regard, Tang Qian has absolute confidence.

The Lakers team is also very used to this, so almost every game, they consciously enter the offensive state first.

The basketball was thrown high by the referee. Sure enough, No. 29 of the Lakers pulled the ball down first, and the Lakers got the ball.

Kobe passed the ball to Steve Nash, who advanced from the backcourt to the frontcourt.

Nash called a high pick-and-roll in the top arc, Tang Qian came up to make a wall, Nash cut in, and then broke through.

Steve Nash's breakthrough shot has always been a very lethal move, but as soon as he broke in, Nash felt something was wrong.The San Antonio Spurs actually defended a zone defense in the first round? ? ?This is unreasonable! ! !

Because generally speaking, it starts with man-to-man, and when it is needed in the middle, it is assisted by zone defense and defensive changes.how……

However, Nash is Nash after all, with rich experience and unruffled in times of crisis, he still found a gap before the zone defense was fully formed and sent out the basketball in his hand.The ball was passed beautifully, but the person who passed it was Meeks.Meeks made a three-pointer, but it missed.Then the Spurs squeezed into the penalty area with four people, and then went all out to consolidate the defensive rebound!

Four guys protecting the rebound?This, is this not to defend and counterattack at all?
Now, are the Spurs crazy? ? ?Everyone knows that defensive counterattack is the easiest way to attack.

If you do this, it means that every opponent will stand still, and the ball will become a positional battle and attack.

So fight?Are you sure you won't let the Spurs exhaust themselves first? ? ?

This Popovich, what on earth does he want to do? ? ?
D'Antoni looked at Popovich on the opposite side, and he also had a bad premonition in his heart.
