Chapter 1332: The Stone Buddha is no more, and the momentum of sweeping (three more to ~ask for support~)

Strike iron!

The Spurs' commentary bench also said with some regret "Oh~".

However, a ball is nothing, even if it is Jordan, Kobi, Nowitzki and other mid-range shooting gods, it is impossible to guarantee the ball. So, the Spurs quickly went back defensively. Tang Qian found an opportunity to cut the ball without the ball, the left wing went down, the Spurs couldn't follow the defense in time, Rondo's pass was in place in time, Tang Qian seized the opportunity and pulled up and flew with one hand.

Danny. Green wanted to block it and let Tang Qian's ball miss, but it was a pity that ...... Directly was forcibly chopped with one hand by No. 29!

The person was knocked out of the air and slipped directly to the ground in embarrassment.

This Spurs home stadium gave a face, and did not blow the penalty. Don sneaked down and looked at Danny. Green glanced at him, didn't say anything, turned around and left. But Danny. Green himself felt the meaning of that look. That look means ...... Not interesting! To put it bluntly, Tang Qian has nothing to say to him about scoring this goal.

It's as if it's supposed to be. What would you say about this kind of thing? Do you feel every time you drink water, eat, walk and dress? What more will you say?

Danny. Green was a little annoyed, but the defensive round was over, so he had to wait for a while.

The Spurs really can't have any opportunities on the outside, and the Lakers' defensive focus is here, so they won't be able to find opportunities easily. Therefore, it can only be given to the inner line, and the routine is exactly the same as just now. It was given to Aldridge again, and then Aldridge quickly gave it to Duncan on the other side.

Duncan 19-foot shooting, shooting, basketball ...... While~

No.

Lakers Tang Qian got the rebound, and then gave it to Rondo, the Lakers played slowly, and after the continuous running had no chance, they gave it to Butler, and Butler made a three-point shot and hit! Don't look at it like this, in fact, Butler is already the most inaccurate one on the Lakers' outside line tonight. Therefore, if the Spurs don't change their defense, or if they don't make any achievements on the offensive end, it is estimated that tonight, they will be completely pulled apart. Popovich looked off the court at the No. 21, who had been close to 20 years and had basically not let himself down, and did not call a timeout.

Because the current situation is that the pause is called, it is estimated that it is still the same, there is no difference.

Empty shots, opportunities are out, what else are you going to do? In the face of a defensive powerhouse like the Lakers, the opportunity to have such an empty position is actually very rare. What's going on? Still want to give up? Impossible.

It's a playoff game.

So...... Tim, it's up to you.

Popovich said silently in his heart.

Duncan also concentrated, he was ready for the ball, catch the ball, and shoot!

Spurs home commentator Sean Brown. Elliott was about to shout Duncan's name out loud, but the "dang" sound of basketball forced his call to his throat. Duncan, 0-of-3. This was a rare thing in the past. The Lakers also seized the opportunity, and Tang Qian made a hard burst, this time finally causing a foul, making 1 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.

Defensively, the Lakers still let go of Duncan from the Spurs, which is also a common practice in the NBA. On the offensive end, when someone has a hot hand, they will keep feeding him the ball. When a person on the defensive end has a bad hand, he will keep "letting go" of him. Don't say anything about Duncan, James is a regular of this kind, so since Duncan shot 0 of 3, the Lakers will continue to put it.

Tang Qian didn't have any intention of going over this time, and he stuck Aldridge as soon as he came up. The ball didn't go through Aldridge's hand and went straight to Thiem on the other side. Duncan. Duncan's ball, adjusted slightly, and made a shot...... The arc is off, this is, wait, this is ...... Hit the board and shoot! This is Duncan's rarely seen shooting on the board now!

Although when it comes to Duncan, one of the labels is to play the board and shoot, but this skill has gradually faded out of Duncan's arsenal. Nowadays, it can be said that it is used less and less. Suddenly appeared today, and it seems that Duncan has also been "forced" to the limit by his performance.

He also wanted to, very desperately, wanted to score this goal.

He's one of the most consistent all-time superstars in the playoffs. No one dares to say a word about this.

He himself did not think that he would have "instability" times.

Stone Buddha Duncan is as steady as a mountain, and he probably hasn't doubted this since he was in high school. Until last year, he was the "No. 21 rookie" who could easily transform at critical moments. So, now when the team needs him, he is used to stepping up.

It's exactly the same as it was for the previous 18 years, this shot and then wait for the result.

For most of Duncan's career nights, the result has been good, and his win percentage speaks for itself. It's just that at the age of 40, his ball, his board, is finally unstable. "Bang~Bang~" The basketball bounced off the basket. Don't enter!

Duncan was stunned for a moment when he saw that the ball didn't go in, and then seemed a little incredulous.

Doesn't this look like Garnett's season after he was completely aging? Me, Kevin. Garnett, unexpectedly, can't prevent this kind of dog. balls? I can't keep up with this kind of dog. speed? This, how is this possible?

Is there really no gas in my tank?

The Spurs surrounded the ball very well, and Tang Qian made a mistake, which gave the Spurs a breather. How to fight? Or Duncan!

This ball Duncan throws again, hits the board, and misses again!

The Lakers hit a long two-point shot near the top arc from the outside.

Duncan? How could Duncan possibly play like this? He also had an All-Star interior in the playoffs last year, okay? So, how is it possible to play like this? No way! The Spurs' home court suddenly erupted in the sound of cheering for Duncan, all sorts, but all for the 40-year-old man, shouting and cheering.

Duncan, the absolute heart of the Holy City, the absolute soul of the team, the No. 1 PF in NBA history, he deserves it all.

The ball was still given to Duncan, not only that Duncan was the soul of the team, but that it was this ball, and indeed Duncan was the emptyest.

If he can't shoot, the Lakers' defense against the remaining four will undoubtedly be more convenient and tight.

Duncan, shot, still missed~

The Lakers played a bottom corner to attract, and then Rondo burst into Tang Qian, who forced a foul and made 2 of 2 free throws.

The Spurs attacked, or Duncan. Duncan didn't shoot directly after getting the ball, but wanted to get closer to the basket and then shoot, the idea was right, but it's a pity...... Because of his movement and proximity to the basket, when he shot, he was blocked by the Lakers' No. 29 with a pimp, and the basketball was flown into the air. Flying outside the three-point line, Rondo rushed out as soon as possible, brushed up a backcourt rebounding stat and led the rest of the Lakers to launch a defensive counterattack. Now the Lakers can all be used to play the outside except for Tang Qian, so this wave directly ended with Covington catching the ball and dunking with one hand.

Duncan didn't defend the ball, he stood in place, a little stunned, and the expression on his face was even more surprised than just now.

Even Duncan couldn't control the stunned and ...... in his heart now Panicked.

He opened his tank cap and looked down, and this time it seemed to be really ......

Then he heard a timeout on the Spurs' side, and he shot 6~7 times, all of them were empty, but they were all ...... Didn't hit.

He looked back at Popovich as if he had turned back the clock to his first time in the NBA. Many people may not know that Duncan's first shot in the NBA Summer League was slapped by a player who was not well-known later. Then Popovich sarcastically mocked Duncan: Awesome, Duncan, we will definitely be awesome this season after choosing you.

Duncan was young and vigorous at the time, and he slammed back, choking: I told you, old man, don't choose me, you will regret choosing me, and you will mess up all this.

This was the first official exchange between him and Popovich in the NBA.

Then there is the sweet period of 19 years, which has always been "love and greasy".

This time, he looked over, and Popovich was also looking at him, and neither of them spoke.

I don't know how long it has been, Duncan has suddenly become a common "Mr. Unreliable" on both the offensive and defensive ends. You must know that this was absolutely unimaginable before. Someone said that 200 percent of them would laugh out of their big teeth. But this season, that's what happened. The guy who was nicknamed "Rookie No. 21" to the outside world. It seems to be old all of a sudden. There is no oil left.

Even Popovich could see that this guy had been trying to keep squeezing his tank, but to no avail.

When did the Spurs' decline happen? Is the "Shuangde Era" really the guarantee for the next 20 years? Popovich suddenly felt that he had thought of certain issues too simply. Duncan has always been able to "exert power" at will, which seems to be the most indispensable necessity for the team.

Journalists from the outside world have already started to write. T's famous journalist Kate. Marin wrote on his laptop in advance: The Spurs were actually known for a few years. There have been teams that have known for a long time what to do against the Spurs, who have fallen supergiantly. But no one has been able to do it. Passing the ball and smooth tactics, which became the magic weapon of this Spurs team in the following years. In 2014, this team elevated true team basketball to the top. At that time, basically everyone knew what to do. But it just can't be done. Their transmission ball and tactics are too strong, and they have reached a level that is almost unparalleled in the world. There's no really strong star, an aging core combination, and a bunch of seemingly ordinary role substitutes. But back then, they were almost invincible. If it weren't for the Lakers' dramatic comeback. I believe 99% that the championship will be theirs.

It's 2016, in fact, the Spurs are still this Spurs team, and their style of play has not changed much from 2 years ago, but they have lost their former unparalleled conduction and unparalleled tactical ability. I thought Aldridge's introduction and Leonard's growth would be enough to offset the decline in the former, but now it doesn't look like that's the case. The Spurs' singles capital is far from offsetting what they're losing. I think if the Spurs can't solve this problem well, the flashes of the double-German era may not be as shining as the Holy City fans think.

By the way, the Spurs' playoff journey this year is over.

They're going to have a whole summer to think about it.

……

After the Spurs took a timeout, Popovich began to adopt aggressive tactics in order to narrow the score gap, basically giving up the frontcourt rebounding from the front, and the main defensive position became the current ...... A large number of players cut inside and frantically hit the frontcourt rebounds. The meaning is obvious, that is, to fight hard and see if we can grab more offensive opportunities.

On the defensive end, it is still necessary to suppress the low post and the interior line, help Duncan, not to let the tragedy of the first two games repeat, and let the Lakers' No. 29 rely on his personal ability to take away the game in waves. But the premise of doing so is that the Lakers don't feel good on the outside, otherwise, it's ......

A scarecrow shot through the heart by an outside line.

The Lakers almost all of their main players were replaced within minutes of the start of the third quarter, leaving only one Rondo to control the court. At this time, the score difference between the Lakers and the Spurs has reached 37 points. The game lost its suspense early.

From the time Duncan was continuously released and hit the iron, this ball was actually over.

The Lakers scored 110 points in the game, which is also the highest single-game score for the Lakers in this year's playoffs. The top scorers were Ariza and Covington, both of whom scored 19 points tonight. Tang Qian only got 14 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks and 5 assists because he played too little, less than 20 minutes. Although from the data, he didn't play too well tonight, Tang Qian said that he was very happy, because the team easily killed the opponent.

I thought it would be a fierce game, but unexpectedly, it became so easy and it came to an end.

The fans of the Holy City were also blank, as if they couldn't believe that this crucial third game had been lost so happily. Or the suspense was basically lost in the first half. It's a bit hard to accept. But sports competition, if you don't accept it, you have to accept it, that's the truth.

Tang Qian looked at Duncan, he had something to say, but after thinking about it, he held back, and waited until he completely eliminated the opponent, and then said it.

The Lakers had a 110-90 advantage, a 20-point advantage, and a maximum margin of 37 points, winning the third game of the series.

The big score was rewritten to 3-0.

Although theoretically the opponent has not been eliminated, in practice, the dust has settled.

It's nothing more than a matter of how many games the Spurs can drag on.

Or ...... You can't win a single one.

Completely defeated in the Western Conference semifinals.

Some people may not have noticed that after the sound of the end of this game, the Spurs' No. 21 did not get up from the bench for a long time. He looked up at the screen above him, not saying a word, not knowing what he was thinking.

Duncan, 40.

God knows, the next game will be the last game of his career, the last 48 minutes?

Nobody knows. He himself may not know it now.
