Legendary star

Chapter 119

"This game, we can't lose again." On May 5, the sixth game of the Spurs-Lakers series will begin in the Alamo Stadium in an hour. Losing a game was too straightforward. Now most of the Spurs players have lost their confidence. Many people now think about step by step, lose this game and go on vacation.Even though Popovich is unwilling to admit it, he knows in his heart that under such circumstances, the possibility of the Spurs wanting to overtake the Lakers is extremely slim.

"Yes, we must win this game." Duncan, who has always been reticent before the game, immediately stood up from the seat in front of the locker after Popovich finished speaking.

"We must not let those boys in Los Angeles be arrogant on our territory." Following Duncan, Meng Xu also stood up. He is certain of winning, but Meng Xu still has the minimum fighting spirit.

When Popovich saw Meng Xu get up, he was also a little surprised. Needless to say, Duncan, as the boss and leader of the team, could never give up.As a rookie, Meng Xu is the easiest to collapse under tremendous pressure, but when Popovich looked into Meng Xu's eyes, not only did Meng Xu show no signs of collapse, but his eyes clearly Still burning with a strong fighting spirit.

"Yes, we can't let those bastards celebrate our victory at our home court." Jalen Jackson, who had a very good personal relationship with Meng Xu, also stood up immediately after seeing Meng Xu.

"Yes, we must win this game." As one of the leaders of the team's locker room, Avery Johnson struck while the iron was hot and called on his teammates.

The Spurs really can't afford to lose this game anymore. Almost no one wants to advance to the next round of the series. However, the Spurs still have to win at home no matter what. Even if they lose, they still have to lose. with dignity.

When all the Spurs players walked out of the locker room one by one, Popovich also patted Meng Xu on the shoulder. Although Popovich did not make any special tactical arrangements, Popovich was also very clear. The performance of outside players will determine the success or failure of this game. Duncan has achieved his ultimate, and the rest depends on the performance of the outside four irons.

"Duncan won O'Neal again." In the entire series between the Spurs and the Lakers, except for the jump ball with David Robinson, O'Neal never jumped and won as long as he met Duncan. Although O'Neal's jumping is also very good, but his huge body Significantly limited his bullet speed.

The Spurs' offense still continues the rhythm of the entire season, as slow as it can be. Although there is no advantage in playing positional battles with the Lakers, the Spurs really can't get up fast.

When all the Lakers' players retreated, Avery Johnson also dribbled the ball slowly through the half court. The first goal of the game was naturally to be played by the team leader in accordance with international conventions, so Avery Johnson didn't hesitate at all, and directly lobbed the ball to Duncan inside, while the other Spurs players all pulled away.

This combination of internal and external tactics in the era of David Robinson, the current Spurs are really not very good at playing. There is no problem with the combination of internal and external, but it is more difficult for the outside. A group of three-pointers are extremely poor and very unstable. Sagittarius, there is no way to play it on anyone.But there is no way, let alone relying on superstar tactics to play three axes, so Popovich had to pray off the court that these blacksmiths would be enlightened as soon as possible.

Perhaps because of the dignity of their own superstar, the Lakers did not double-team Duncan in this game, but let O'Neal and Duncan one-on-one. The advantage in range, after shaking O'Neal several times in a row, took the lead with a step-back mid-range shot and scored two points for the Spurs.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, the first goal might be a response to Duncan, or maybe it was to show their status. Facing the double-teaming of Duncan and Samaki Walker, O'Neal tied the score for the Lakers with a back-turned hook.

After the first round, the two teams finally entered the period of regular tactics. Duncan faced O'Neal in the interior and kept passing the ball. Obviously, it was not that Duncan was unsure, but Duncan hoped that through this move, the outside line The players should find the touch as soon as possible, because only in this way can the Spurs have the hope of winning.

As for the Lakers, O'Neal was extremely relaxed after scoring the first goal, because the current state and strength of the Spurs in O'Neal's psychology are no longer a threat to the Lakers, so in the first half O'Neal only needs to find The rhythm is enough. Now the Lakers are basically thinking about their opponents in the Western Conference Finals. The other two teams in the Western Conference Semifinals, the Blazers have defeated the Jazz 4-1 and entered the Western Conference Finals first.

Through continuous running, Meng Xu once again got rid of Fox who was defending him. In just a moment, Duncan's pass accurately found Meng Xu. , This shot hit the iron again. After the first shot after the game opened, Meng Xu had a hunch that the feel of this game must not be very good. As expected, counting the shot just now, the entire first quarter In the first half, Meng Xu made 0 of three shots.

On the sidelines, Popovich shook his head in disappointment when he saw Meng Xu's missed shot. In this round of the series, Meng Xu also drove high and low. The first 20*5 data in the history of the playoffs, but in the next two games, the basket seemed to be closed to Meng Xu, no matter how hard he shot, it seems that this game, Meng Xu continued The feel of the last game.

"Bastard, what's the situation with you, are you already thinking about fishing? This is not good, we are all professional players, and we still need the minimum professional ethics." After seeing these sluggish performances, Meng Xu, Kobe is also very forthright, even talking trash.

"Bryant, your trash talk has improved a lot. Although you haven't learned from me, I'm still very pleased to see your progress." It's never Meng Xu's style to take advantage of your mouth, so Meng Xu It also hit back unceremoniously.

"Bastard, you are amazing. I can't say enough about you, but it's useless. You can pack your things and go to Miami tomorrow. I hope you have a good trip."
