Opening Kobe template, rewarding Curry with three points

Chapter 144 Su Bai, There's Only One!Who can testify?

On May 5, AT&T Arena in San Antonio.

Game [-] of the Western Conference semifinals between the Warriors and the Spurs.

To be reasonable, before the start of the series, many Spurs fans really felt that they had no hope of defeating the Warriors like last year, but now, the only thing they think about is not to be swept away...

It's just that halfway through the first quarter, looking at the score of 12 to 5, the Spurs fans were really desperate-how can this damn play?
On the sidelines, Popovich walked from the sidelines to the bench and slumped down, not even wanting to call a timeout.

In fact, when the Warriors lined up Su Bai, Tony Allen, Stephen Jackson, Anderson and O'Neal at the beginning, Popovich felt a little bit in his heart.

He knows exactly how strong the Warriors' lineup is defensively.

Single defense, double-team defense, rotation defense and top defense are almost the same, if not all of them are top-notch.

Popovich thought for a while, and ordered the Spurs generals to pass the ball as little as possible, looking for opportunities for one-on-one.

The result is still far from ideal.

Not to mention Parker, when Su Bai was serious, he had difficulty even dribbling and catching the ball, let alone score easily.

Duncan was better, but the Warriors switched defenses too quickly. Duncan double-teamed the Warriors when he received the ball!
The role players on the Spurs side are very touching except for Finley's better shooting rate. For example, Roger Mason's shooting rate is as low as 37.5%, and Bonner's shooting rate is even more impressive at 21.7%...

The Spurs were defended by the Warriors in half a quarter and only scored 5 points. In addition to the fact that the Warriors' defense is indeed much stronger now, another reason is that the state of the Spurs' role players is really bad!

To be reasonable, with regard to the state of the Spurs players, Su Bai was confused when leading the team.

In the end, it was Ginobili on the sidelines who couldn't stand it and called a timeout.

What a game on the court, what a torment!
Watching Duncan and Parker go off the field, Ginobili didn't know what to say, so he could only talk sassy words to adjust the atmosphere.

Seriously, with the Warriors' suffocating defense, it's not necessarily useful for him to play.

but……

"Guys work hard, we can't let them underestimate us old guys!"

"At least it can't be swept away?"

Ginobili said with a smile.

But the way the Spurs players looked at Ginobili made Ginobili tremble.

In the eyes of those players, there is no desire to win!

After the game continued, when Su Bai faced Finley's defense and Duncan's help defense and scored consecutively, Ginobili understood a little...

Is this kind of competition really meaningful?

They struggled to get two points with great difficulty covered in scars, but in the end, Su Bai scored three points with a flick of his small hand on the outside. Who can bear it?
Is the gap between a sweep and a 1-4 loss really that big?
Besides, didn't the Hornets also get swept away?

When this kind of thinking spreads among the Spurs, it can't be stopped at all.

So after the first quarter, the Spurs lost another 12 points.

When the Spurs' rotation also collapsed in the second quarter, the Warriors led by another 25 points at halftime!
It's over, it's over, this is the voice of everyone.

Many Spurs fans left early at halftime.

In this game, I didn't watch the fire, it was really desperate.

They have to admit that even with Ginobili in them, it will be difficult to prevent the Warriors from revenge.

This Warriors team has grown and transformed too fast, and their Spurs really need to transform...

The previous year's championship, last year's finals, and this year's Western Conference semifinals are about to stop. The strength of their Spurs is really declining.

Warriors, Lakers, Rockets, Trail Blazers... It is really getting harder and harder to break out in the West.

In the end, 124 to 82, the Warriors slaughtered the Spurs at home with 42 points and completed their revenge, sweeping and advancing to the Western Conference Finals!

They will be waiting for the challenge of the winner of the Lakers and Rockets in San Francisco.

After the game, the Warriors players celebrated.

Although the revenge of the Spurs is not as happy as expected, it is still very cool to sweep the Spurs.

Just like what Su Bai said, it would be great to break through with some pressure!

Nelson Sr. and Popovich hugged and accepted Popovich's blessing.

"Don, your hard work has paid off!"

Popovich sighed.

To be honest, Popovich was not so optimistic when the Warriors traded for O'Neal last offseason to announce the transformation. After all, it's hard to say how old Nelson will be able to play after so many years of running and bombing and suddenly returning to positional warfare.

I didn't expect that the Warriors really nirvana like a phoenix, becoming much stronger and more stable than before.

At least on the stage of the playoffs, Popovich feels that this Warriors team is absolutely perfect against the Warriors team last season!

"Thank you, it's also the help of those children, they really paid a lot."

Old Nelson didn't take any credit and said modestly.

Popovich once again showed an expression of envy and hatred, "I still want to say that you really opened your eyes when you selected Su last year.

Sue really is the perfect player and leader. "

Old Nelson laughed and joked, "I don't have that high demand on Sue, as long as I can be like Tim (Duncan)."

Popovich felt a lot better after hearing about Duncan.

Duncan has already brought him four championships. Old Nelson's desire to win is very strong!

Not far away, Parker and Su Bai simply shook hands and left angrily.

It's not that he is stingy, but that Su Bai really defended him too badly in this round of the series.

In the last round of the series, he averaged 28.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game, shooting 54.6% from the field;

In this round of the series, he averaged 12.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game, shooting 32.1% from the field;

Being guarded so badly, Parker felt that he was very self-restraining when he shook hands with Su Bai and didn't put on a face.

After Duncan and Su Bai shook hands, they exchanged a few words briefly.

Duncan is still very curious about Su Bai. To be able to reach this level at Su Bai's age, apart from talent, what the hell is talent!
There are many diligent monsters in the NBA, but Su Bai really only has one!
Not long after, Su Bai caused another commotion when he appeared at the press conference. A reporter asked,

"Su, would you rather meet the Lakers or the Rockets in the next round?"

Su Bai gave the reporter a strange look, "Of course it's a rocket!"

"Because the Rockets are stronger? Or do you think your Warriors are more confident in playing the Rockets?" The reporter asked.

Su Bai smiled, "Because Yao Ming is on the Rockets, I definitely want him to win!"

Ok……

The reporters at the scene fell silent.

Good guy, this answer is very plain.

……

Su Bai and his teammates flew back to San Francisco overnight, and then they could have a good rest.

At present, the Lakers and the Rockets are 2-1, and there are at least two games to play!

After returning to San Francisco, Su Bai didn't have any friends, so he could only call Lily Collins over, and then lived a boring life of training and accompanying beautiful women.

Speaking of practicing, Su Bai felt that grabbing rebounds was interesting.

Positioning, anticipation, protection, this is an unknown field for Su Bai.

Exploring the unknown is bound to be novel.

On the other hand, the Eastern Conference semifinals are also in full swing, and it is somewhat similar to the Western Conference.

The Cavaliers have swept the Eagles, and the Celtics are 1-2 behind the Magic.

I don't know if it was the reason for being questioned, James broke out!
场均33.8分，8.3个篮板6.0次助攻2.5次抢断，命中率55.6%，三分命中率48.1%！

James really played at the MVP level!
The Cavaliers were able to sweep the Eagles, and James' explosive performance really contributed a lot;

As for the Celtics and Magic, it's all because Howard dominates the restricted area!
Rebounds, blocks, defense, Howard's "Warcraft" really took off!
……

On May 5, when the Warriors and others were about to rust, the Lakers finally defeated the Rockets in the tiebreaker.

The Rockets once again fell in the tiebreaker.

In this tiebreaker, Yao Ming scored 32 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks.

But it's useless, the rest of the Rockets played mediocre, and the rotation was blown out.

The Rockets fell to poverty once!
With his arms akimbo, Yao Ming looked at the regretful faces of the Lakers, who were celebrating wildly at Staples when the game was over.

Although he knew that they had little hope of winning the championship this season, he was still not reconciled to being defeated like this!
This is already his seventh year in the NBA, but he hasn't even touched the floor of the Western Conference Finals, let alone a championship.

Yao Ming couldn't help thinking of Su Bai's various remarks.

"If you stay in the Rockets, maybe you really can't win the championship?"

Yao Ming's idea of ​​"one person, one city" was shaken.

Although the NBA championship doesn't mean much to Yao Ming, but Yao Ming is actually a victorious character. He also wants to be the strongest and wants to be the champion!

On the other side, Kobe finally breathed a sigh of relief with his jersey in his mouth, and then became nervous again.

Two days later, they will play against the Warriors, and now, it is far from the time to relax.

Thinking of their difficult schedule, and thinking of the physical advantage of the Warriors sweeping all the way and the advantage of leading them 3-1 in the regular season, Kobe's expression became more dignified.

But... No matter what kind of disadvantage Kobe is in, he will not be afraid, and there is even a look of excitement in his eyes.

To preach, let’s start with the Avengers of the Western Conference Finals!

……

On May 5, the Oracle Arena in San Francisco was overcrowded!
The first game of the Western Conference Finals between the Warriors and the Lakers is about to start.

Although the Warriors played the Western Conference Finals last season, and although the Warriors also played the Lakers last season, the situation is obviously different.

Last season, the Warriors were actually sniped by the Lakers in the Western Conference semifinals and were dragged into the quagmire of positional warfare.

And the Warriors who have successfully transformed this season have proved with two extremely powerful sweeps that they are not afraid of positional warfare!
defense?Low attack?
They have it all!
Of course, the Lakers have also made progress, mainly in terms of team running-in.

After another year of running-in, Bynum has grown. Of course, the most important thing is that Brad Miller has become the link connecting Kobe and Bynum!
One outside, one inside, one bond, the strength of the Lakers is beyond doubt.

However, there is still pressure from the Lakers fans.

After all, the Lakers' current physical disadvantage is a problem.

When warming up before the game, Kobe, who felt the fiery atmosphere of the Warriors at home, was full of excitement!

If you are at a disadvantage and are afraid of wool, just do it and you're done!

Fear is not in the Black Mamba's dictionary!
Phil Jackson showed a thoughtful look on his face.

Winning this Warriors team is definitely not easy, but it's not impossible.

Among them, the most important thing is to steal a victory at the Warriors' home court and gain home court advantage!

And today, they're here to do it.

In the TNT live commentary seat, Barkley started the warm-up early: "Kobe Bryant of the first team played against the Godfather of the first team. This round of the series is interesting."

"The duel between the two of them is definitely worth looking forward to," Kenny Smith nodded. "But we also need to pay attention to the performance of others, and the performance of their assistants is also very important."

Barkley took it very seriously, and complained: "As long as it's not as bad as the role players of the Spurs."

Spurs role player: ? ? ?

During the warm-up ceremony, Su Bai also felt the excitement of the fans.

Also, if you win this round of the series, you will be able to rush out of the West and hit the championship. Warriors fans should be so excited.

It is worth mentioning that Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian both appeared on the sidelines. As for whether they are cheering for Su Bai's Warriors or Sun Yue's Lakers, it is hard to say.

On the big screen, the starting lineups of the two teams were given.

Lakers: Fisher, Kobe, Ariza, Miller and Bynum;
Warriors: Su Bai, Azubuike, Tony Allen, Stephen Jackson and O'Neal.

The Warriors' lineup tonight is mainly attacking and defending, which also shows the change of old Nelson.

attack?It is enough to have Su Bai, and everyone else defends me!
Su Bai is not enough?Can I add O'Neill?

O'Neal, who has been energetic since he beat the Lakers, successfully beat Bynum, and Su Bai came to the top of the arc against Fisher's defense.

Seeing Fisher, who was constantly fighting against his body, Su Bai suddenly felt hesitant—the Lakers wanted to consume his physical strength!

After handing the ball to Stephen Jackson who came to the high post, Su Bai directly dropped to the low post, and the rest of the Warriors automatically pulled away to give the big pot a single.

Although Fisher is a little short, his weight is on the line, and he has enough defense and confrontation, but it is a pity that he is facing Su Bai.

Steady to take a good position, Su Bai turned over with a shoulder shake and shot a jump shot coolly.

0 to 2, Su Bai scored the first blood for the Warriors.

"Fischer's defense is very aggressive tonight, but it's a pity that he met my godfather. The difference in strength between the two is too obvious." Barkley commented shaking his head.

On the Lakers side, Kobe, unexpectedly, did not respond to the ball.

After a while of conduction, the basketball came to Bynum's hands.

The little shark tried to force O'Neill.

I have to say that Bynum's low position still has something, the low position is very solid, and the turn is also very smooth, but it is a pity that he met O'Neal who is in full form tonight.

After confronting O'Neal, Bynum forced a shot...

"boom."

The basketball smashed out of the basket, was protected by O'Neal, and then looked for Su Bai for a long time!
"The Warriors' fast break is coming!" Barkley shouted again.

On the court, Su Bai, who had passed several people in a row, was hugged by Fisher after passing him.

"Hey, the Lakers are trying to prevent the Warriors' fast break by fouling?" Barkley wondered.

On the sidelines, Old Nelson glanced at Phil Jackson and then calmly withdrew his gaze.

Quickly attack and defend, we are not afraid of positional warfare!
