This Forward is Not Serious
Vol 2 Chapter 136: I'm already considering my opponent for the next round
The Spurs did not participate in the press conference after the G3 game, so the outside world does not know how the Spurs will be after losing the game.
Two days later, the G4 of the Nuggets and Spurs series continued to open in Denver.
Duncan, missed!
Because the Spurs did not participate in the press conference before, and it was closed training before the game, no one knew what happened to the Spurs.
But it turned out that Duncan did not appear on the scene of the game, not even on the bench!
It was not until the game started that no one knew that Duncan had flown back to San Antonio overnight after the last game.
No one even knows if he will play in the next game!
With Duncan's absence, the Nuggets have improved their momentum throughout the game.
In this scene, it is as if the Eighteenth Route princes hit Hulao Pass, and it turns out that Lu Bu is not there!
Isn't this going into the city to kill Dong Zhuo and grab Diaochan?
Both guns were fully fired, and the Nuggets dispatched by Lin Ying came in and out, all flying in and out.
Although the Spurs played tenaciously, they were defeated in the half and eventually lost 71 to 102.
3 to 1!
The Nuggets seized two opportunities at home and got the match point of the series!
They are really going to win the Spurs!
And if the next game is won, the Spurs gave them a big score of 4-1 last year, they will return it intact!
The prospects are bright, and at the post-match press conference, Anthony even played a trick:
"I'm already thinking about my opponent in the next round."
In the first round of 2003, McGrady led the No. 8 Magic in the East to beat the No. 1 Pistons in the East.
After 4 games, the Pistons had an unexpected 3-1 lead.
At that time, McGrady was young and vigorous, and said this: It felt good to enter the second round.
This sentence was later translated by the media as "I am already considering my opponent in the next round".
Later, in order to help McGrady speak, some fans changed this sentence to "If it were last year, I would already be considering the opponent in the next round."
So this is the same as Iverson's training, it has become a stalk.
It's just that Anthony was playing stubbornly at this time, and Lin Ying was a big head when he heard it.
Brother, can't we just change to a separate game?
This is not a good stalk!
I can only say that Anthony is really too casual!
…
The G5 of the series will be played in San Antonio, this time it is still a three-day break.
At this time, the league announced the third batch of awards, the Sportsmanship Award and the best defensive player.
The best defensive player was won by Garnett of the Celtics, who averaged 9.2 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks per game in the regular season.
This is also the first time Garnett has been elected to dpoy in his career.
Interestingly, Camby ranked second in this selection. He averaged 13.1 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 3.6 blocks per game.
Lin Ying also got the votes, ranking eighth.
This ranking looks a bit low, but it's actually pretty good.
Because ahead of him are Battier, Bowen, Kobe, Josh Smith, Howard, and Paul.
Duncan is behind him.
Except for Camby's random entry, everyone else's defensive strength is real.
So you can better understand why Ginobili's honor is so pitiful.
In this era of a hundred flowers blooming, you get an honor like doing a round of the finals with others.
The sportsmanship award went to Grant Hill of the Suns.
This is the second time Hill has received this honor since the 2004-2005 season. He has also become the only player in history to receive this honor twice.
However, the current situation of the Suns is not very good, so they have won the home court advantage, but they have already fallen behind 1 to 3 and are on the verge of elimination.
Let's talk about a matchup in other groups in the West.
The Lakers have swept the Mavericks 4-0, and the Hornets have led the Rockets 3-1.
Not surprisingly, the next round will be the Lakers against the Nuggets and the Hornets against the Jazz.
…
The day before G5.
San Antonio AT&T Training Hall.
The Spurs are still training closed to the outside world.
Duncan did not appear at the training site.
The morale of the Spurs is significantly lower.
Popovich frowned.
In NBA history, only three defending champions were eliminated in the first round of the second round.
The last team was the 2006 championship Mavericks, and the next team, yes, is the Spurs.
If this happens again, like Hill before, he will also be the only one in history to score twice.
It's just that compared with Hill, he is obviously not a good reputation.
But now he can't do much.
Duncan's injury that exceeded expectations this time, and the information he got from the team doctor, he must plan early.
If you continue to **** only Duncan like in the past, then it will really hit a hammer!
Popovich was thinking about it when there was a commotion among the trainees on the field.
He turned his head, and then saw a familiar and unexpected figure.
Duncan!
Also, wearing training clothes!
Didn't the team doctor tell him that Duncan couldn't play the game behind him?
Why is Duncan still here, and still wearing this training suit?
After the accident, he turned and walked towards Duncan and exchanged for a while.
He thought Duncan was here to boost morale, but he was wrong.
"Old man, I'm ready to play tomorrow night."
A very plain sentence, but it makes people feel unspeakable.
"Your injury?"
Popovich hesitated to speak.
"Better than expected."
Duncan's words were plain and tactful.
Popovich glanced at the team doctor who came with him.
The team doctor forced a smile and nodded reluctantly.
"Old man, it's much better than before, let's go with one and a half legs, it's okay to hit."
Duncan knew Popovich’s character, and finally told the truth.
"This is my choice, and trust me, I have a sense of measure."
Duncan didn't say much when he finished speaking. After habitually pressing Popovich on his shoulder, he went to greet the players.
Soon, there was a burst of cheers from the Spurs players.
Duncan's return is undoubtedly the best heart booster for them!
Looking at Duncan, Popovich finally agreed to Duncan's choice by default.
Although he was reluctant, he suddenly realized that the Master of Psychology in front of him had been pushing him until now.
Then admit it!
Although this will make Lin Ying's people gloat for the time being, after staying in this alliance for so long, he knows another truth better:
History is written by victors!
As long as the game is won, who will remember what a rookie said?
After the defending was completed, what the fans saw later was the only words that were beneficial to them!
Oh yeah, and what the idiot Anthony said.
He is lacking something to boost the morale of the team.
If Duncan comes back, it's time for a wave.
…
On the day of the game, the Spurs officially announced the news that Duncan will play in G5.
After being closed for so many days, suddenly such news broke out on the initiative, the purpose is very clear, naturally it is to boost the morale of the fans.
So when the G5 kicks off, the AT&T arena is not only full of attendance, but the enthusiasm of the fans is extremely strong.
King's return.
This is not the first time this stage has been staged in the NBA. In history, Willis Reid’s performance in the Knicks is also the most talked about by fans.
But such a bridge section will not lose its brilliance because it happened once.
Duncan's comeback is the perfect "Return of the King" for Spurs fans!
Lin Ying actually didn't expect Duncan to make a comeback.
So when Anthony talked about it, he just complained.
To know that Duncan will come back, he went to hold Anthony's mouth on the spot!
And Duncan's comeback will have a huge impact on the game.
The technique of basketball is more than just technique.
Why did Duncan miss the Nuggets' half-time defeat of the Spurs in the last game? Isn't it just a psychological difference?
It's the same for the Spurs now.
The competition is fierce.
This is the most intense game since the series.
The Spurs Duncan returned to the last stand, coupled with the constant cheers and shouts of the fans, the momentum was like a rainbow.
Although Duncan was trapped in an injury field to give only limited help, but the spirit he brought to the Spurs was immense.
On the Nuggets side, the desire of the match point players for victory is also immense.
The collision of the muscles on the court made people excited and bloody.
"This is definitely an NBA Finals level confrontation."
Even Yang Yi sighed more than once.
In such a confrontation, the details become the thing that determines the outcome of the game.
Carl is still catching Ginobili's single defense and Duncan's failure to get out, while Popovich is also catching Anthony's lateral movement and Iverson's single defense, and even the Nuggets' defensive rotation.
Lin Ying can't make up for it.
Under this level of confrontation, his physical monster can't stand it.
But he was gritting his teeth, as if Duncan frowned but still stepped firmly on every step.
The two sides fought into the fourth quarter. What everyone did not expect was that Duncan, who had never had any offensive desire before, suddenly began to score consecutively.
It feels like holding the blue bar, waiting for the last moment to zoom in on the move.
His offense was quick and decisive, and he didn't give the Nuggets a chance to double-team.
And the Nuggets didn't have the energy to double-team by this time.
Obviously, this is not Popovich's arrangement, but Duncan's own strategy.
Invincible.
In the end, the Spurs beat the Nuggets 96 to 91 at home and tied the big score to 2 to 3!
Duncan's final data, 13 points, 15 rebounds, and mediocre double-double data are the biggest contributors to the Spurs' victory.
Sometimes, you really can't just look at the data.
Lin Ying learned a lot in this game.
It's not about the return of the king with an injury, but Duncan's way of dealing with an injury.
And he was not without contributions in the first three quarters!
Many of his picks and rolls and containment are the guarantee of Parker and Ginobili's scoring.
In this game, the GP scored 31 points and 27 points, scoring 58 points in total.
…
It's a shame to lose G5, but the morale of the Nuggets is okay.
After the game, Carl was also relatively calm at the press conference.
"The Spurs performed very well tonight, but the next game is our home court."
Simple statistics show that the Nuggets have won both of their home games in the series, with a 100% win rate.
And Duncan’s inspiration can only be one game, and the probability of the Nuggets winning the next game is far greater than that of the Spurs.
Lin Ying also feels that the Nuggets have greater hopes of winning G6.
As long as the two guns don't drop the chain.
Well, if there is another chance, Lin Ying promises that she will never have such thoughts.
Because of the double guns, the chain is really off!
In fact, this may not be called the chain, because this seems to be a matter of course.
Their performance before was too good.
In fact, Iverson has always been very iron, and the shooting percentage of less than 40% in the playoffs is a little pale for you to explain.
Anthony is also half a catastrophe, he is also the type of regular season playoff ghost.
Of course, their performance will suddenly dive in addition to their own factors, but also because of the Spurs' defense!
How did the Pistons come back with the magic?
It's defense!
Prince's defense of McGrady was extremely uncomfortable, and the defensive system of the Pistons made McGrady dying.
The Spurs are doing the same now.
Then when both guns started to strike iron, Lin Ying suddenly realized that his contribution was limited.
Regardless of the outcome of this year's playoffs, he must control the ball this summer to truly develop it!
Including the special training with Duncan, he also needs to improve his low-level skills.
Only by doing it yourself can you really have enough food and clothing.
The Nuggets finally failed to defend this home court.
After losing this home court, their big score was chased by the Spurs to a 3-3 tie.
The Spurs are using practical actions to tell everyone that it is not so easy to beat their old team.
Speaking of history, the Spurs and Hornets series this year is also very similar.
The Spurs lost the first two games, and both lost close to 20 points.
They lost almost 30 points in the battle of Tianwangshan.
But in the end they were still in the tie-break and won by defensive reversal.
Although things are different now, the two Spurs are essentially the same.
Even because of the return of Duncan's king, the mental attributes of this Spurs team are even higher!
The game was dragged into a tie-break, and it was still at the Spurs' home court.
There are already many fans waiting to see Anthony's jokes.
And the words of the fans are very heart-wrenching, the kind of twins.
"Isn't he the next T-mac?"
Before the Nuggets played against the Spurs, the Rockets were eliminated by the Hornets 1-4.
Although McGrady played closed, but still failed to lead the team to break through the first round.
And Anthony, it's the same!
05~07 are the first rounds for three consecutive years, and they are all 1 to 4, two Spurs and one Clippers. Isn't this the next Tracy McGrady?
Of course, the most suffocating thing is that Anthony imitated McGrady's words after G4.
McGrady Denver points McGrady!
…
Anthony didn't go to the press conference after the game, and Karl had been rubbing his forehead and didn't know what to say.
Between heaven and hell, there may really be only one door.
And if the lead is 3 to 1, and the final 3 to 4 is reversed, it may be even worse than the 1-4 last year.
Iverson didn't know what to say, and finally the reporter turned to Lin Ying.
Although taking the "brilliant deeds" that Lin Ying interviewed in the past, that was the subject of questions that they had no choice but to think about.
"I think great games are because of great opponents."
Lin Ying seemed to be relatively calm.
"Tim is a great opponent."
But his next words made the reporters laugh.
Even Iverson and Carl laughed.
I just don't want to Kwapopovich! It doesn't work!
And it doesn't seem to be a problem. The Spurs can tie the big score because of Duncan's return of the king.
The atmosphere at the scene seemed to have eased a bit.
"But I still think we have a better chance of winning."
Immediately afterwards, Lin Ying said her own judgment.
"I once told my teammates that UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Tim can no longer play games like G2. This is indeed the case. What I want to say now is that AI and Melo will not play tonight. Such a bad performance will also become a reality."
Then he said confidently again.
If this is said from the mouth of another rookie, the reporter below will definitely have to laugh.
You a rookie said that these are nonsense, but this is different from Lin Ying's mouth.
After all, if the ability to respond to questions from reporters is divided, Lin Ying is at least a diamond.
And this is not actually for reporters, but for Carl and Iverson.
Regardless of whether the next game is good or not, whether you can win, first of all, your confidence must be re-established.
If the confidence is gone, it will only be a matter of time before the magic follows.
