1339. We Are Destined to Be Different (Part 1)

It wasn't just the players of both teams who were excited, the Spurs fans at the scene were also excited.

Except for the OK Dynasty period, from 1999 to 2007, they won the championship every odd-numbered year, but in the 07-08 season, Duncan began to decline, did not win the championship in 09, and was swept by the old rival Suns in 10 years.

Finally, in the 10-11 season, they rose, but they were bloodied by the Mavericks that year, and they were short of small forwards and centers at the time, and they played the best record in team history in the regular season, but they obviously couldn't go far in the playoffs; Last season, because there was no suitable center, he was defeated by the bitter master Kobe Bryant in the second round.

It's been four years, and I haven't made it to the West for four years, which is really hard for Spurs fans to accept! They couldn't imagine that the team could not enter the Western Conference for four consecutive years with Duncan, an era superstar who locked in the No. 1 forward in history after six years of play, so it would be better to disband.

This year, another odd-numbered year, this year they are no longer afraid of those top teams, beating the Grizzlies, the Dry Lakers, beating the Heat...... As long as it is not the other party's unacceptable outburst, they all have a stable strength advantage.

Although Sun Ce scored 65 points in the last game of the regular season, even then, their Spurs maintained a long-term competitive state with the Grizzlies.

In other words, as long as both sides play normally, or both play well, their Spurs have a strength advantage against any opponent!

Looking at Tim Duncan, the godfather who leads the NBA fashion trend, since Duncan has been on the front line of the trend, he who was once selected for a while when he entered the NBA is back!

Before the game, the players of the two teams had a good exchange, and the Grizzlies were able to win the championship last season, and the Neal and draft picks exchanged for Guy played a big role.

In terms of trade value, the Grizzlies lost three last-first-round picks and a backup point guard, but it solved the possibility of infighting brought about by the Grizzlies' potential small forward playing time contention, and also strengthened the backup point guard.

Except for Sun Ce, who will break out once or twice a year to make them lose face, otherwise, the relationship between the two teams is still okay.

After all, one side represents the "veteran group", even if the Spurs are the fourth-lowest average age team in the league this year, and the other side represents the "strongest team of the new generation", even if the Grizzlies rank ninth highest in the league in the league...... Nash single-handedly raised the average age of the Grizzlies by more than a year......

Spurs players and fans desperately don't want to lose to the youth army, but for the Spurs players and fans, the most acceptable opponent to lose is the youth army, at least not to the veteran team.

As for Nash...... Although the Grizzlies officially say that they are the team of Randolph, Nash, and Gasol Jr., everyone thinks of the Grizzlies as Sun Ce's team.

That's why Spurs fans have such a tangled mentality, and of course, they are very hungry for their team to reach the top again, and that's really a miracle!

After Sun Ce and Duncan looked at each other awkwardly at the technical table for a minute, he turned his head to look behind his bench, and was so frightened that he said, "Why are so many dead aristocrats" popping up, and Yi Jianlian next to him almost exploded!

finally came to a stadium full of aristocrats who seemed to be very normal to play, and someone actually scolded him, and he was also a teammate, or a teammate who took him to win the NBA championship, the World Championship championship, and the Olympic bronze medal!

Sun Ce looked at the bewitching fans in the ATT arena, which is close to the border of the United States, the cultural exchange place of North and South America in the southwestern United States, the seventh most populous city in the United States, and the most ethnic city in the whole of North and South America......

Duncan: Is this going to expand the aristocracy to all the peoples of the world?

It's horrible!

This evil Great Demon King must be defeated!

……

After greeting each other, the players of both teams returned to the bench for final pre-match preparations.

The Grizzlies, on their side, advanced a few days earlier than the Spurs, and prepared for the Spurs as an imaginary opponent from the beginning, and after losing to the Spurs in the first game of the regular season, they prepared the Spurs as the strongest opponent.

The preparations that can be made have been made, and Coach Hollins didn't say much about the final preparation time before the game, as if he wanted to boost morale, but he was running out of words...... He used to be a prodigal and unrestrained head coach, but now he has to be "steady" by Sun Ce...... In fact, he really can't boost morale.

Originally, he pointed to Nash or Battier, the two treasures of the team, but Nash pushed Sun Ce, and Battier didn't speak.

Sun Ce was helpless, Randolph was a living treasure, the two locker room leaders didn't speak, Aaron Gray retired, and he had to come.

"I'm just a junior on the team!"

I really want to say this, but Sun Ce feels that it is very important to boost the morale of his teammates at this time, and he has worked hard to prepare for the game, but the four games in the regular season are actually not dominant as a whole, even if Randolph finds his form, he will at most compete in regular time, and if he Sun Someone does not break out, they will not have a critical moment to play.

Sun Ce organized the language, which was very proficient, but Coach Hollins was very uneasy when he saw Sun Ce thinking.

Once, Coach Hollins wanted to train Sun Ce to be a leader, but found that Sun Ce's character of being dead was still more suitable for being a junior child......

However, this time Coach Hollins was too worried, unlike the first round with emotions to play the Clippers, although Sun Ce does not like the Spurs, but he respects the opponent's players very much, and also respects the opponent's strength, and has a deep fear and a strong desire to beat the opponent.

Sun Ce organized the language and said: "It's been four years, we have reached the second round for the fourth time, and maybe for some unlucky players, reaching the second round is already the pursuit of their entire career.

But we're different!

It's not about the expectations of the fans, it's not about the strength of the opponent...... Nothing else affects us, we're here to win.

When we come together, we are already different from others.

We won the title last year and a lot of people stayed, and I know that there are still some of us who are basking in the wonderful feeling that we are already champions, and maybe some of us have fulfilled their dreams and have already won the World Championship.

This is normal, many players just want to win a championship all their lives, and they may not be able to win it after a long, long time.

But we are not them, when I am with you, and you, and you...... We're all here, and what we're after is never just one championship.

Perhaps, we are not destined to be ordinary.

Tonight's opponent is the strongest opponent we have faced in the regular season, and the strongest opponent we have won the championship, so we have only one choice-

Defeat them. ”
