Chapter 102: Old Hooligans of the Holy City
Jordan has always been jokingly called by netizens in the Celestial Empire: Michael Everywhere I am an old rascal Jordan.
But in Han Miao's heart, there is still a group of people who can also be worthy of the title of "old rascals", that is, the old men of the San Antonio Spurs.
The San Antonio Spurs, led by veteran coach Popovich and with Shifo Duncan as the core, give people the feeling like this every year:
"Which teams in the league are bullish this year?"
"That's a lot, Cavaliers, Heat, Celtics, Mavericks...... However, the Lakers championship! ”
"Huh? What about Spurs? ”
"Spurs, they can't, they're old."
Then, the Spurs, who are ridiculed as old people every year, have reached the playoffs, the finals, and even won the championship in the terrifying West again and again!
This Nima is what a group of old people should do? Shouldn't you be old-aged?
In fact, the Spurs are not too old now, that is, because Duncan has received a salary in the league for more than ten years, so everyone thinks that the Spurs are old, you look at Parker and Ginobili, their service experience is less than 10 years! (In the book, it's still 2010)
However, this gang of bandits, hooligans, under the command of the leader Popovich, won one victory at a time.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Celtics who are most like Auerbach are not the 76ers who are learning their tactics now, but the Spurs.
Giving up the so-called flashy, all tactics are efficient first (except for Ginobili, which is an alternative), plus Popovich roars twice from time to time on the sidelines, really, if you give Gen another cigar, it is Auerbach's Celtic is no worse.
The 76ers faced them in the first game of the Western Expedition, and they could only say that their fate was not good.
"Welcome to San Antonio, rookies!"
Duncan is a person, an expressionless old face on the field, but off the field, he is just a tease, haircut, car repair, and lunch, there is nothing he can't do.
No, the 76ers came over this time, and Uncle Duncan personally came forward to greet them, giving them enough face.
At the same time, for the three newcomers of 76 people, Uncle Deng also unceremoniously reached out to pull his hair, well, it feels good, which is worthy of praise.
"Tim, you're my idol."
Han Miao hurriedly escaped from Duncan's clutches and sent a little ponyass.
"Tim, I like you so much, I even learned from you when I played the board and shot."
Hayward reacted quickly and felt like he was slipping out of Duncan's hands.
Only Whiteside, a fool, was left standing in front of his idol in a daze, not knowing what to say.
"Well, it's still the little kid on the inside line who looks comfortable."
Duncan lost what he could touch in his left and right hands, so he simply pressed both hands directly on Whiteside's head.
"Work hard, come on, and ...... in the future"
"Tim, listen, don't talk about this later, we know."
Stevens rushed out and quickly interrupted Duncan.
Damn, this is the strongest poisonous milk in NBA history, okay, let Duncan say it, the 76ers may continue to struggle for several years.
"Oh, Coach Stevens, let's go."
Duncan was a little sorry for not being able to say his famous words, and he was very sorry to lead the 76ers into the stadium, and he was still muttering along the way:
"Well, I almost said it, so why don't you let me finish? It's really uncomfortable. ”
Han Miao wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, Mom, this is the Stone Buddha? How did such a funny person in the middle two manage to be expressionless on the field?
In 2010, the Spurs were still okay on paper, although they didn't have a lineup like the Celtics that were all stars or former stars, but they were also very good.
There are three people in GDP, there are McDyes, Split, Banner, etc. on the inside, and George Hill (Bobo Ai, who later replaced Leonard), Richardson, Mason (the guy who once fell Yao Ming) and others, all of whom are very good people in their respective positions, so the Spurs' hard power is still very strong.
Is there something wrong with this lineup? Yes, there are too few young people, too many people who are 30 or 30+, and the Spurs are really quite old, maybe a little better than the Celtic nursing home.
Therefore, before the game, many media thought that this would be a tough battle for the Spurs, because the 76ers are basically young people, and young people are energetic!
Hehe, how much does this look down on Spurs? Do you really think that by being young, you can defeat them? Impossible!
You must know that Spurs head coach Popovich is a giant among the league's coaches, after the old Nelson retired and Riley retired behind the scenes, the coaches who could go head-to-head with Bobo were Jackson and Sloan, Sloan's luck was not very good, and his Deron Williams and him went farther and farther away, and there was a tendency to break up.
Stevens, a young rookie coach, in Popovich's eyes, is really not enough to see!
What's more, the 76ers were all notified before the game that this game doesn't matter if they win, as long as they don't get injured.
Therefore, the outcome of the game is predestined for a long time, and Spurs will definitely win, but the process can still be seen.
In the duel between the main force and the main force, Han Miao actually didn't lose too much to Parker. Parker was 11-of-15 from the field, scoring 33 points and 7 assists on consecutive shots, and Han Miao was 9-of-12 from the field, including 2-of-3 from three-point range, adding free throws to score 24 points, and then 10 assists.
It's good that a point guard at the FMVP level in the Finals can do this.
Not only that, in the small forward matchup, Hayward's 18 points and Richardson's 18 points were tied, which was offset, but Duncan alone cut 25 points and 16 rebounds on the Spurs' inside, crushing Brand, who only had 8 points and 3 rebounds, and Whiteside, who only had 6 points and 9 rebounds in the whole game, oh, I forgot to say, Whiteside had 6 more fouls in this game, and he scored 6 fouls in 18 minutes, and this efficiency is no one.
In the coach duel, the young Stevens was defeated, Popovich completely crushed Stevens in substitutions, on-the-spot tactics, shouting timeouts, etc., the young marshal is indeed very strong, but he is too young, the tuition has not been paid enough, and he can only be abused by the old man, if he is not ready to give up this game long ago, maybe the young marshal will be beaten out of the shadow in his heart.
Of course, the final result is needless to say, the 76ers bench has not been good, even if in this game, Lu Wei is back, but they can't stop the Spurs bench group led by the "strongest sixth man in history" Ginobili!
This group of substitutes, what a hooligan! came up to grab points, grab rebounds, don't give any face, and completely bully young people as their joy.
Therefore, in the end, when the 76ers lost San Antonio with a score of 105:128, everyone accepted it very calmly.
Anyway, I already knew that I couldn't beat it, so I didn't have too much luxury......
Next, Los Angeles, that's the time to do it!
