"The Lakers are No. 29 tonight, but it's a big deal, Tim, what do you think? Is this the bullish one? "Spurs player Corey. Joseph said. Pen ~ fun ~ www.biquge.info he was drafted by the Spurs in the first round last year, Canadian, and a guard.

When the No. 21 of the Spurs heard this, he said with a dull expression: "Whatever he says, the game needs to be decided by the score." ”

There are no superfluous words, concise and to the point, this is the personal character of "Stone Buddha" Duncan.

Corey. Joseph has also been with the Spurs for almost 2 seasons, so he is very familiar with the expression of No. 21, and he turned to Tony. Parker said, "Tony, what do you think?" ”

"What is there to think of." Parker seriously moved his body and said, "Our goal should be the upcoming playoffs, and the Lakers are just a regular season game. ”

"Manu, you think so, too?" Corey. Joseph asked Ginobili again.

"What else?" Ginobili straightened the shoelaces on his feet and said, "Playing basketball is not a mouth cannon, and the mouth can't decide anything, does it?" ”

"Hey, you three are so boring, doesn't that inspire you to fight a little?" Corey. Joseph can't stand the GDP combination a little, these three people have been partners for more than ten years, and their behavior is invisibly tacit. This kind of run-in of more than ten years has long made the three of them familiar with each other.

Not only on the court, but also off the court, it is as if they have developed a style of working together with each other.

The NBA league is the only one in history to work together as a trio for more than 15 years, just like them. Even if you expand the range to a duo, no pair can coexist for such a long time. 15 years, 113 years old, several championships, the most playoff wins in the history of the league - 126, the most regular season wins in the history of the league - 575, their tacit understanding and greatness, can be called one of the strongest three in the NBA from ancient times to the present. They may not be as famous as the famous "giant combinations" in history, but no one can match their durability and competitiveness.

This is also the reason why Kobe Bryant later admitted to "envy" Duncan.

In a stable core team, staying for 15 years, how many stars can have this kind of luck?

And Popovich is also a super coach in history, all of which is the key factor that has made the San Antonio Spurs almost no trough for more than ten years. Originally, in Popovich's heart, the Lakers were the Spurs' imaginary rivals in the West this season, after all, they were known as the "Four Heavenly Kings", and their individual ability was the best in the league, but then they ...... The Lakers withdrew from his "imaginary enemy" ranks.

Now the Spurs have only one imaginary opponent in the West, and that is the young recruits, the Oklahoma City Thunder.

As for the opponent of the championship, Popovich didn't think much about it, because he couldn't get out of the West, so he didn't have to think about this "ultimate problem" at all.

He and the GDP portfolio, many values and worldviews, are quite consistent.

That's why it has been coexisting for more than ten years.

It's not that they look down on the Lakers, it's just ...... The Lakers can't get into their sight this season.

What do you think about one team struggling for a playoff spot, and the other being a strong contender for the O'Brien Cup, which is third in the league...... Neither is on the same level.

Besides, the Lakers are now "missing arms and legs" and even losing their "hearts", so what qualifications do they have to compete with the Spurs?

Therefore, the mood of the San Antonio people in this game is stable and relaxed.

Even if it's an away game, it's like a "warm-up game" before the playoffs start.

It's not that they underestimate the enemy, it's just that the enemy is too weak and vulnerable.

The morale and mental outlook of both sides can be seen from the warm-up activities.

The Spurs are serious and rigorous, not much different from usual.

The Lakers were dull and lazy, as if this game wasn't a playoff spot battle, just an innocuous preseason game.

Such a momentum, before the fight, seems to have seen the end.

Most of the Lakers believe from the bottom of their hearts that they are doomed to lose and cannot beat the third seed in the league, so the mentality is so relaxed, and there is no sense of urgency before the big war. At the Staples Center, the fans were also a little distracted, and the cheers for the home team were far less than the last game.

Maybe in the hearts of Lakers fans, they don't have any expectations.

The game the day before yesterday tore the Achilles tendon of No. 24, and it seemed to tear apart the fantasy of Lakers fans this season at the same time.

Even the on-site narrator Bill. McDonald and Stu. Lantez's voice was a little dry, and he was weak to explain.

Only the No. 29 of the Lakers team, his eyes are full of desire to win, the warm-up process, and extreme dedication.

Duncan looked at the young figure as if thoughtful.

Howard scramble turned out to lose to Thiago for some reason. Split, this kind of start, let the fans of the Staples Center look forward to it and darken it again. The situation seems to be, as everyone expected, to fall into "one-sidedness" at the beginning. The Spurs' offense and defense are very disciplined and artistic, which is obviously in stark contrast to the scattered Los Angeles Lakers.

In the first quarter, the Spurs poured a small 21-5 surge, and although Howard continued to attack in the low post, he couldn't take advantage of a dime on the interior line controlled by Duncan. This made Howard more and more angry, and he couldn't understand why he couldn't even beat an "old guy" now! It wasn't like that before!

How did he know that it wasn't Duncan who became stronger, but who became weaker.

Whether it is in terms of physical fitness, tactical play or competitive mentality, he is very different from the Orlando period, which is why he has the illusion that the Spurs' No. 21 seems to be getting stronger. Besides, don't look at Duncan's age, but he is taller than Howard, and his arm span is better than Howard, not to mention the next set, the NBA history is the top, I don't know how many positions ahead of Howard. So Howard was young and good with the Magic, but when he came to the Lakers, he had a limited back injury, weakened explosiveness, and was unwilling to play blocking and dismantling, all of which made him have no advantage over Duncan.

The "Warcraft", which lacks explosive power under the basket, kills Duncan in a low position, which is actually quite a loss.

The arm span is a lot shorter, the static strength is not dominant, and the back force is even more messy, even Hayes can't beat the back, and he wants to carry the top Tim in the history of the bottom game. Duncan? There's a joke about Duncan's under-the-box power that is because he has a short lower leg, so he is more stable and less likely to be pushed by his interior opponents.

But it's hard to say whether it's specific or not, but Howard ate Duncan's 2 big hats in the first quarter, but it was solid.

What level of Duncan's blocking ability is? It can only be said that it is extremely brutal! How old are you all this season? He will be 37 years old in ten days, and his average playing time per game is only just 30+. But his blocks per game figure ...... It's scared to death 2.7 times! That's right, that's 2.7 times! A 37-year-old veteran can also average 2.7 blocks per game, which has long been unrelated to athleticism, but a matter of block smell and talent. Look at the later "Warcraft", when he was only 28 years old, his average block per game fell below 2+, and then went all the way down, and finally it was difficult to reach an average of 1.5+ per game.

How big was Warcraft at that time? Only 31 years old.

Duncan is 39 years old and can still average 2+ blocks per game, which can only be said that after deducting athletic talent, Howard's ability to protect the basket is at least ten streets behind Duncan. If Duncan had the athleticism of the latter, it would probably be another basket monster with an average of 4+ to 5+ per game. Not kidding! Take this season, for example, if Duncan played 36 minutes, he would be averaging a dreaded 3.2 blocks per game! Except for Tang Qian, there is no one in the alliance who is invincible! Ranked second Sergi. Ibaka is only averaging 3.0 per game right now! This shows what level Duncan's basket protection is!

He perfectly illustrates that the ability to protect the basket and athletic talent are not exactly proportional.

Even if your athletic ability is exhausted, if your experience, sense of smell, judgment, and precision are in place, you can also become a terrifying basket protector and make the intruder tremble. For example, the current Howard is proof of this, and he was blocked by Duncan 2 times one-on-one, which is extremely humiliating.

This is still the regular season version of Duncan, if it is a playoff game, he averages 4+ blocks per game at his peak, not to mention Howard, O'Neal, Ewing, David. Robinson, none as good as him. In the 90s, except for "Big Dream" Olajuwon, the rest of the four centers lost to the playoff version of Thiem. Duncan.

So if you think that Duncan can be bullied because of his "old age", it must be that his brain is caught in the door.

Just like the current Dwight. Howard the same.

In terms of his league's penultimate back-to-back efficiency, he still wants to eat Duncan in the low post? I really didn't wake up.

The Lakers trailed by 16 points in the first quarter, 18-34, and played ugly.

The inside line can't be opened, and the outside line can't be forced, it's the Los Angeles Lakers at the moment.

Originally, there was a Gasol who could make good use of it, but Howard was on the court and dominated the low post throughout the whole process, which made the Spaniard only make a pitiful 2 shots in a single quarter. Without exception, they were all outside the free-throw line, away from the paint.

The morale of the Lakers, after a quarter of games, suddenly became even more sluggish.

This looks like Mike. D'Antoni didn't have a problem either, because without Steve. Nash, his tactical system can't play at all, not to mention that the opponent is the San Antonio Spurs, who have an extremely tacit defense? Even if Nash is on the court, I'm afraid it's going to be enough to choke.

So it seems that without much effort, the San Antonio people have a big lead over the Lakers.

But the faces of the players in the Holy City were all calm and calm, as if they felt all this for granted.

It's bland self-confidence, but it's also bland arrogance, in line with the Spurs' tradition, and it's also in line with San Antonio's urban culture.

The Lakers fans at the scene were almost emotionally overwhelmed, and there were very few who would stand up and cheer loudly.

So more of the sounds are "electronic synthesized sounds" played by the home DJ.

But what is "scary" is that the Lakers players have the same calm faces, as if it is not the Spurs who are leading, but them.

This...... It's just that you think you're going to lose, and it's normal to think you're going to lose.

After the Zijin Army lost the core bone, the whole became scattered sand, and the sense of winning and competition was far worse than before.

In this way, it is the fans who are cold.

Saddens the fans.

"Mr. D'Antoni, do you want to replace him in the second quarter? Tim. Duncan is in great shape! Howard looked eager for "revenge", but as soon as he finished speaking, he was truncated by the Lakers on the 29th: "Duncan's good state is also fed by some people without brains, besides, ......" Tang Qian glanced at Howard and said: "Duncan now averages no more than 30 minutes per game, are you sure he will play in the second quarter?" If you want to take advantage of the substitute lineup to brush the data, just say it, why do you go around such a big bend? ”

The careful thinking in his heart was ruthlessly punctured by Tang Qian, Howard was annoyed and angry, and said: "I can still brush some data in the face of the substitute lineup, what about you?" How many points can you score? If you are given 10 shots, you won't be able to score 1 goal alone! Tang Qian raised his head and said, "Why should I learn your brainless singles?" The team has people who score, you know? ”

"You ......"

"Don't you, sit down obediently, don't make a mess for everyone." Tang Qian didn't look at Howard half a look after speaking, and turned around and walked onto the court.

Damn Orientals! I'll see what tricks you can play! Still 100% in the playoffs? Phew! Who do you think you are?

The breath is bigger than the western bison!

Howard sat on the bench, looked at the back of No. 29, and kept muttering silently.

Similar to Tang Qian's expectations, Popovich was really preparing for the upcoming playoffs, except for Tony in the second quarter. Parker, the Spurs' GDP combination, didn't come up again. The Spurs' lineup became Tony. Parker, Gary. Neil, Matt. Bonner, DeJuan. Blair, and his Brazilian Thiago. Split. It doesn't seem to have any super firepower, but the victory lies in the tacit understanding, the Spurs' bench, whoever underestimates it in the whole league will be unlucky.

With an all-bench lineup, you can play against the Miami Big Three, which is what the San Anthony Spurs can do.

But Tang Qian didn't care, because for him, whether the opponent was a substitute or the main force, it was the same.

That's all right.

Just as the Lakers were about to send the baseline ball in the second quarter, a Lakers fan behind the basketball hoop suddenly shouted: "hey~hot~ I read your speech~ You're serious~, right?" Tang Qianyan turned his head when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Of course, of course I'm serious. ”

"So will we win? Will we make the playoffs? The fan continued.

"There's no doubt about it." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he ran to the front court, and before turning around, he dropped a sentence and said, "Take a good look, buddy!" ”

"We're going to win!"

……

"Meeks shot? His ball is not a very good chance, oh~no~ really missed, basketball ...... Hot snatched the rebound in the front court! Hot jump dunk! The Spurs didn't react on the inside, good ~ dunk score! Hot scored our first goal of the second quarter! "Bill. McDonald said into the narrator.

"It's okay, let's attack." Tony. Parker has long passed the age of being impulsive, and many finals baptisms have also made the French point guard temperament more and more transparent. The Spurs launched the first wave of the second quarter.

By Tony. Parker breaks through the ball, DeJuan. Blair catches the ball inside and dunks with one hand.

"DeJuan. Blair jumps up for a dunk, and Parker passes the ball well enough to attract defender Paul. Gasol's attention, and then ...... It's covered! DeJuan. Blair was hit with a hot moving cap! It's a very clean cap! The referee signaled that there was no suspicion of a foul! "Bill. McDonald said: "Lakers Gasol received the ball inside, and immediately pulled the inside line, Gasol singled Matt. Bonner, yes! The ball is in! Gasol scored the Lakers' second goal of the game! ”

At 22-34, the Lakers opened the game with a 4-0 run.

But that didn't make the Spurs panic, Tony. Parker still dribbled the ball methodically and then tore up Steve with a pick-and-roll. Blake's defense. The ball was still a pass, but the moment Parker passed the ball, he used his body to block the movement of the Lakers' No. 29, which was a very successful breakthrough pass.

Thiago. Split jumped up and dunked after receiving the ball, and according to him, the ball should be nine out of ten, and there should be no surprises.

Spurs No. 9 Tony. That's what Parker thought, too.

But what people didn't expect was that the ball was still blocked!

This...... This is also capped?

Parker and Split were a little incredulous, because they were all blocked, how could they still cover the basket?

"The hot was blocked by Parker on the ground, Thiago. Split jumps up and dunks, and the ball ...... Oh my! It's capped! It's capped! Relying on his super long arm, he barely blocked Split's dunk basketball! "Bill. McDonald said, "But basketball was taken by DeJuan. Blair picked it up, Blair shot under the basket, the hot defense was successful again, and Blair shot under the basket! The rebounding ball is hot! ”

The Lakers offense, right in Yodi. Meeks was about to dribble for a three-point shot when a shout came from the inside, "Pass to Paul!" "Jodi. Meeks was stunned when he heard this, but he still obediently hoisted the basketball in his hand into the inside.

Gasol has a small hook on his back and hits again!

24-34, the two sides are only 10 points apart.

Tim. Duncan sat on the Spurs bench, watching the 29th's move just now, and slowly blinked.

Stop your teammates from littering? Does this kid have that weight on the Lakers now?

Hehe, it's not easy.

PS: Add more to, the 10,000-word outbreak is complete~ This chapter is written a little slowly, forgive me, I'm going to hang Qingming today, so there's only one chapter in the evening, but tomorrow Xiaozi will still have a 10,000-word outbreak, I hope you will continue to support Xiaozi, continue to support Tangji~^_^~

Regarding a question from a book friend, Xiaozi watched the interview video repeatedly, and because Kobe Bryant's face was the whole time, she really couldn't see who asked the question. However, the microphone closest to Kobe Bryant at that time was indeed ESPN. It's the ESPN microphone with a capital letter in red, and if you're interested, you can see for yourself. Anyway, Xiao Zi personally thinks that the person who raised this question is really heartless, and he doesn't talk about human feelings at all.
