NBA: Opening Fusion Demon God Pangu

Chapter 252: The fierce battle in the west is in full swing! Mavericks press the whistle to kill the Lakers!!

The next day, the second round of the Western Division playoffs began.

The first was the San Antonio Spurs vs. the Sacramento Kings.

The two teams finished second and third in the West in the regular season, and their strength can be described as quite close, and it is also a game that fans are highly anticipated.

The first game between the two teams will be played at the Spurs’ home arena.

The biggest highlight of the match is the collision between the two dominant stars, Tim Duncan against Chris Webb.

Both are currently at the peak of their careers.

Tim Duncan averaged 24.7 points and 15.4 rebounds in the first round of the playoffs.

Chris Webb was able to cut 23.7 points and 8.3 rebounds in the first round, which is also very good.

From the data of the two, Duncan is better than Webb, but they face different opponents, so the quality of the data does not directly indicate the strength between the two.

At this time, the players from both sides appeared for the pre-match warm-up, and the big screen at the scene also gave Duncan and Webb a big close-up.

Judging from the lineups of these two teams, the Spurs have better roster depth, but they don’t have much advantage either.

So in the eyes of fans, this series will be particularly intense.

Moments later, the game officially began.

The Kings, who played on the road, came out with a lot of aggressiveness.

The blocking combination between Mike Bibby and Chris Webb became the Kings’ killer on the offensive end.

In addition to the two of them, there is also Peja Stoyakovic at any time.

These three are the absolute core of the Kings, and when the three of them work together to attack, they are almost impossible to defend.

Even a strong team like the Spurs is a bit powerless against the Kings’ strong offense.

“Pay attention to defense, follow, and don’t leak people.”

On the sidelines, Spurs coach Popovich kept reminding. In the opening three minutes, the Spurs actually fell behind.

This start was more or less surprising, but in the next few rounds, the Spurs began to gradually show their strong heritage.

First, Tim Duncan singled Chris Webb one-on-one on the weak side, scoring the ball with his best rebound jumper.

Then Tony Parker broke through and hit another shot.

Under the leadership of the two of them, the Spurs gradually found the feeling of the game, and the difference was chased to only 3 points.

With just over two minutes left in the first quarter, the two sides entered the first rotation of the game.

The Spurs replaced the main player with Manu Ginobili, and the Kings also replaced the main player.

This was the hardest time for the Kings because they didn’t have a player like Ginobili on their bench.

As it turned out, their fears were right, and the situation changed immediately after the rotation of the two sides came up.

Manu Ginobili led the second team to the extreme, while the Kings, on the other hand, were a bit overwhelmed.

With Ginobili hitting a whistle-blowing layup, the Spurs equalized at the end of the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, it was still a contest of rotational lineups.

Ginobili was in excellent form tonight, breaking through layups, mid-range jumpers, outside three-pointers.

According to the regular rotation time, there are still two minutes to switch back to the starting lineup.

But Kings coach Adelman saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly called a timeout to bring the starters to the field early.

After Chris Webb and others came on the court, the situation turned around again, and the Kings gradually returned the lost advantage.

On the Spurs side, Popovich also returned to the main team and kept Ginobili on the court.

The real showdown only begins now!

For the rest of the second quarter, the two sides played inextricably, and the gradually increasing physical confrontation made the game look more intense.

In the first half of the game, the two sides played 56:56, still on the same running line.

Half-time became extremely critical, and in addition to normal breaks, it was time to test the managers of both teams.

Popovich and Adelman are among the best coaches in the league. At the moment, they are all seriously deploying for the second half of the game.

After the start of the second half, the two sides continued to compete fiercely.

However, it is clear that the Spurs players play more smoothly than the Kings.

On a tactical level, Popovich is still stronger than Adelman.

At the end of the third quarter, the Kings gradually became a little weak, and after entering the rotation in the second half, the Spurs took the lead with excellent tactical arrangements and depth of bench players.

In the final quarter, the Kings tried to fight back, but the Spurs were as solid as Tarzan, and although the Kings kept scoring, they couldn’t stop the Spurs from attacking.

With Chris Webb’s basket throw, the game completely lost its suspense.

The halffield whistle blows.

101：106

The San Antonio Spurs, playing at home, narrowly secured the victory and opened the second round.

In the game, Tim Duncan chipped in 29 points and 16 rebounds. Tony Parker had 17 points and 7 assists.

Mano-Ginobili, who came off the bench, contributed 23 points, four rebounds and five assists with an extremely efficient performance.

He was also the key to the Spurs’ victory!

On the other hand, Kings star Chris Webb had 26 points and 9 rebounds.

Peja Stojakovic also had 20 points and seven rebounds. Mike Bibby scored 15 points and 8 assists.

There is hardly much difference in the statistics of the core players between the two sides, and the Kings lost because of the lack of bench depth.

After this game, another focus battle in the West has entered the final quarter.

The Dallas Mavericks, currently playing at home, trail the Lakers by five points with more than three minutes left in the game.

All the Lakers have to do is hold on to their advantage, while the Mavericks are under tremendous pressure.

At this point in the game, the physical fitness of the players on both sides has also reached the extreme.

However, at this moment, Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki had a divine help.

He first used his foot to shake O’Neal, hooked his basket, and then received a pass from Nash from outside the three-point line and hit a three-pointer to tie the score.

In the following rounds, neither side scored.

With seven seconds left in the game, Nowitzki stepped up again, he received the ball and singled O’Neill one-on-one, and at the last second, he made his signature move ‘Golden Rooster Independence’!

“Ugh!”

The sound of basketball entering the net sounded, announcing a ruthless lore!

With Nowitzki’s whistle, the Dallas Mavericks defeated the Los Angeles Lakers by 2 points, bringing the series to 1:0.
