The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 269 Who will stop him?

It was already late at night after the Thunder's special plane arrived in San Antonio.

Since it was a back-to-back match, Li Senlin lay down early as soon as he finished his work, and the tactical video analysis had already been completed on the plane.

The Thunder went 0-4 against the Spurs last season.

That's right, the Thunder's main force was swept by the Spurs, so Li Senlin couldn't help but be careless in this game.

In the 08-09 season, the injury problems that broke out at the end of the regular season dealt a heavy blow to the Spurs. Duncan's knee injury and Ginobili's season reimbursement disrupted the team's plans. Wen's skill has been greatly reduced due to his age, and the entire team is in a state of being out of reach.

Although at the end of the regular season, the Spurs still won the eighth Southwest Championship in 10 years because of the Rockets' mistakes, but in the first round of the playoffs, the Spurs were completely unable to contain the Mavericks.

The gap in talent is manifested in extreme form at this moment. In the first few playoff games, although the Spurs contained the scoring of the Mavericks' arrow figures Dirk Nowitzki and Terry to a considerable extent, they were unable to kill The opponent's third and fourth points, and the Spurs' own offense. Although Duncan and Parker can score more than 50 points in almost every game, the others have achieved little and experienced the true taste of "despair".

Last season, the Spurs suffered a bleak ending in the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 2000.

But the Spurs have a great coach!Represents infinite possibilities.

Popovich completely improved Larry Brown's set and established a Spurs-style pragmatic and rigorous tactical style.

The Spurs have the top uniforms in the league. Most importantly, they have Tim Duncan, the big man who was drafted by the Spurs with the No. 1997 pick in [-]. The data is not gorgeous, but it is the mainstay of the entire team's offensive and defensive ends.

Duncan is also the reason why the Spurs can become this Spurs.

In order to make full use of Duncan's last days in the summer, Spurs owner Holt spent a lot of dollars unprecedentedly.

…………

The piecemeal contract of three veterans in exchange for Richard - Jefferson's deal is considered a classic Spurs-style "robbery."

This deal brought the Spurs an All-Star small forward who averaged nearly 20 points and 5 rebounds per game. While filling the vacancy of the Silver and Black Army at the third position, it also greatly increased the Spurs' scoring ability.

McDyess and Ratliff have brought hardness to the Spurs' inside line, which is a leapfrog upgrade compared to Kurt Thomas and Oberto last season.

Defensively, Bowen's departure has created a gap that cannot be filled. It is impossible to find a top defensive expert like Bruce Bowen in the entire team. It can only be made up by teamwork.

However, the Spurs have always had the problem of insufficient talent in the lineup and too many people in and out. As a result, the Spurs' current record this season is 9 wins and 6 losses and ranks eighth in the Western Conference.

In general, tomorrow's game has a lot of good news for Li Senlin.

It is mainly reflected in that, first of all, the Spurs' lineup is one year older. Parker cannot play this game due to injury, and the main point guard is Hill.

Then this season, the Spurs are in the process of transformation. The introduced Jefferson has not been able to integrate into the system.

The defensive core is dull as he ages, and his transformation state declines significantly without weight loss.

Then the only reliable Manu was in poor condition during this period.

…………

Even so, Li Senlin also knows that it is almost impossible for the Spurs with Popovich to miss the playoffs.

This season, the Spurs should have relied on Manu's sudden explosion after the All-Stars to lead the troubled Spurs to 50 wins and the seventh place in the Western Conference to squeeze into the playoffs. No matter how the Spurs' lineup changes, their spiritual core is still there.

No one would have imagined that this old-fashioned Spurs would even defeat the thriving Heat Big Three to win the championship three years later...

…………

Li Senlin decided to use Kobe's attack style to play against the Spurs, instead of playing in series, he just let nature take its course.

Because Kobe has always been the nemesis of the Spurs.

Kobe didn't look at the timing of his shots, he looked at his mood.

The Spurs' inherent system did not work in the face of Kobe's unreasonable offense. In the 08 playoff series, the Spurs were Kobe's death.

the next day.

Because both the Thunder and the Spurs are short of major generals, the only thing to watch in this game is whether the Spurs, which rely on team defense to win after Li Senlin scored 40+ in a row, can end Li Senlin's crazy solo show! ! !

The Spurs averaged 97 points per game offensively this season, and the defense can limit opponents to only 93 points. Compared with defensive ability, the veteran Spurs are better than the Thunder's previous defensive team, the Portland Trail Blazers.

However, the Spurs rely more on empirical defense with Duncan as the core of the defense.

Li Senlin has more ways to deal with the experienced defense of the Spurs than the natural defense of the Blazers.

The time soon came to the night of the game.

ATT Center Arena.

The venue was not full, only more than 2 spectators.

At the start of the game, the Spurs fielded a starting lineup not much better than the Thunder.

The Spurs' starting five are Tim Duncan, Richard Jefferson, Antonio McDyess, Keith Bogans, George Hill
After the game started, the Spurs' state was not much better than the back-to-back Thunder.

And on the defensive end Popovich adopted an extremely failed strategy.

Zhuge Weiqi chose to trust the team's rotation defense, and did not double-team Li Senlin at the beginning of the game.

then!

The Spurs were killed by Li Senlin alone in their home stadium, the ATT Center Arena! ! !
In the whole game, Li Senlin scored 27+15+42 on 6 of 6 shots in the ATT Center Arena, and made 0 turnovers, all of which were hard-hit singles. Li Senlin shot 55% of his shots efficiently.

In the whole game, except for Li Senlin, the shooting percentage of both teams was less than 40%!

The strength of the two sides is unimaginable. Li Senlin got the data from the tough singles who fell into the position one by one in this fierce collision and confrontation. It was extremely difficult and difficult. The Thunder scored 93 points and the Spurs 88 points in the whole game. .

Facing Finley's defense, Li Senlin still played all kinds of forced singles. When Popovich finally chose to deny his opening defensive strategy in the final quarter, he reacted!
Li Senlin couldn't hold it anymore, and Li Senlin directly showed his power in the final quarter to take away the game.

Li Senlin used his personal ability to kill the Spurs, killing the ATT center into silence, and killing Popovich dumbfounded.

The Spurs are afraid that the situation of unreasonable players will be verified again. Tonight, Li Senlin is just like Kobe, with a terrifying desire to win, outstanding singles ability, very persistent and terrifying confidence.

Li Senlin has been very decisive since the start of the game, he just did it himself, because Li Senlin knew that if he hesitated to deal with "old fritters" like the Spurs, he would catch the loopholes. As long as he has a strong and almost paranoid self-confidence, he can defeat them.

This is how Kobe played the Spurs! !

After defeating the Spurs, the Thunder have achieved three wins in the past four games, and three of them are Western Conference playoff-level teams.

After returning from injury, Li Senlin completely shocked the whole United States with his crazy performance of 4+ games in 40 consecutive games! ! ! !
"Who will stop him???"

Newspapers such as the Los Angeles Sports and the New York Times that distribute across the United States directly made their covers with such headlines.

The marked text is: 57+47+43+42+? ? ? ? = Super scorer! !
