547. My old Deng Tou is back! (1st Update)
Coming to FedEx Arena again, Duncan was in a completely different mood than last season.
Last season, Duncan felt like his career was coming to an end, and he felt the twilight of the whole team.
But he didn't know what Popovich was thinking, he was swept by the Suns in the first round, and Popovich also quarreled with reporters with a posture of "we will win the championship next season".
Duncan is ready to retire and return to his hometown to open a training camp and pass on his superb swimming skills.
God knows that during this season's training camp, Popovich suddenly told him: We're going to play offensive basketball, you go to pass the ball, defend the basket when you defend, and play more than 20 minutes per game......
And then all of a sudden it's stronger again!
It's not the 50-win playoff level last season, but another chance to win 55+ games!
He counted on his fingers, the 55+ wins in the first 13 years of his career is the season with the opportunity to win the first place in the West, and his two hands are almost not enough, it has been 9 times.
"It's dangerous, if there were 82 games that year, we wouldn't have been able to count the 55+ wins this year."
Duncan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the two logos standing at the door, one was the previous bear logo, the other was the new logo that will be replaced during the Christmas war this year, and the other was a species from China that is said to be a bear.
Although the Grizzlies officially confirmed that the team logo will be changed on December 25 this year, the new logo has been erected at the entrance of the FedEx Arena.
Every time he came to FedEx Arena last season, Duncan felt tortured, he couldn't beat Randolph at all, he was ravaged every time, not to mention that he was ravaged, and the whole team was ravaged.
But this time here, Duncan was in a completely different mood!
Duncan's current mood translates to Chinese approximately: I am Hu Hansan...... No, my old Deng Tou is back!
Parker and Ginobili next to them looked at Duncan sometimes sadly, sometimes nostalgically, sometimes excited...... He was still counting with his fingers, and suddenly he showed the evil smile that had made him get out of the game......
"What's this retarded mind thinking?"
Ginobili and Parker felt a sudden shock and touched their heads, this thing won't want to get them again!
……
The Grizzlies and Spurs both had back-to-back Game 2.
Originally, the Grizzlies were back-to-back at home and the Spurs were back-to-back on the road, and the Grizzlies deserved a slight advantage.
But the opponent played Laipi, the first game of the back-to-back rotation, the physical pressure plummeted, and the Spurs are the kind of team that usually wears a suit and the non-active roster can also contribute, and in last night's game, James Anderson, a first-round rookie who had not played a game before, scored 13 points on the court......
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, when the Spurs entered the FedEx Arena, Sun Ce's system prompt came.
"Enemy of the Strongest System (S) Phase 1 Event: Bear Triggered."
"Bears: Due to the loss of the host's first meeting with the Spurs in the new season, the host needs to help the team gain a winning advantage in the remaining three meetings with the Spurs in the regular season this season, and the regular season against the Spurs must be tied at least 2-2 at the end of the regular season. The events at this stage will affect the final score of the event. ”
When he saw the Spurs, Sun Ce felt big!
But if you want to go to the end with the team and get that damn championship trophy, the Spurs will definitely be a fierce opponent in the next few years!
As far as Sun Ce remembers, the Spurs reached the Western Conference finals in 2012 and the finals in the next two years...... This is an opponent that must be crossed in order to succeed.
Fortunately, he is not the only one in the team, and the team has to carry all the pressure forward, and the coaching staff has a preliminary way to deal with the Spurs after a few days of research.
Sun Ce didn't know if he would be able to deal with Spurs, but the tactical training the morning before yesterday and the tactical training this morning ...... It looks like that.
Let's talk about it first!
……
At 5:40 p.m., the players of both teams entered the court.
In addition to the Spurs' special record in the NBA, 50+ wins in consecutive years, there is also a special point that they are not treated well no matter where they go to play on the road, and the home team players will hardly communicate with them before the game.
Who told them that they had done so many dirty things, even if Bowen had retired, they were still hated.
Just like in the original time and space, after the 2012-2013 season, Carter had the opportunity to jump out of the player option, and Popovich also threw an olive branch to Carter after losing the Finals, wanting to take him out with a mid-level contract.
But Carter rejected the Spurs' mid-class and exercised the $3 million player option with the Mavericks, preferring not to win a championship than go to the Spurs.
Just like last year's All-Star Weekend, except for Roy, a fierce-looking good old man, and Kobe, an alternative who is willing to talk to Duncan, everyone else ignores Duncan.
So after more than a year of fighting, Sun Ce and the troika ...... Hardly ever communicated.
And all this, the Spurs players are used to......
However, Sun Ce was very curious about Duncan, and had always been curious, and when the cheerleaders were dancing around their new mascot, the best mount in China, Sun Ce came to Duncan, who was staring at the cheerleaders' long legs on the sidelines.
Seeing Duncan staring intently at the girl's long legs, Sun Ce looked at Duncan's gaze.
it! Actually staring at the root of the girl's thigh! This sullen man!
Sun Ce couldn't help but ask, "Is it good-looking?" ”
"Hmm...... Well? Duncan was startled, and turned his head to stare at Sun Ce with wide eyes.
Duncan didn't expect that he was so non-existent, and someone actually found him!
Just when Sun Ce was about to say something, a black bear came up and pulled him back......
Looking at Sun Ce, who suddenly appeared and was suddenly pulled away, Duncan was a little confused, what happened?
Are you going to make new friends? That dead fat man is a good thing for him!
Sun Ce was pulled back to his bench, and Randolph didn't say anything, simply not wanting to see Sun Ce and Duncan talk.
As for what Sun Ce wanted to do, Randolph didn't care very much, Sun Ce often had magical moves, and he was used to it.
The teammates are also used to it, and even if Sun Ce is a group of Spurs, he will probably want to do something.
But the newcomer Jason Williams isn't used to it at all! He also had a grudge against the Spurs, and that was all in 1999, when he was still playing against the rookie, and when he played against the Spurs, he was given an elbow because he burst inside after blocking and played a crotch pass on David Robinson, and Divac almost got into a fight with the Admiral.
The Spurs came back strong, but for a long time it felt like they couldn't afford to lose.
Sun Ce went to Duncan to chat and was pulled back, and Jason Williams felt normal.
But his teammates didn't say anything to Sun Ce, just simply pulled it back, and Jason Williams felt a little incomprehensible......
Even if this is the outside core, but he is only a sophomore, Randolph shouldn't teach a lesson?
That's it?
……
At 5:58 p.m., both teams started the game.
With Jason Williams on the bench, Sun Ce and Conley's two-point guard backcourt combination is more solid, and the coaching staff originally planned to have a good chat with Conley to let Conley play off the bench and put Paul George and Battier as starters, but now it is easier.
The frontcourt combination of Battier, Randolph and Gasol Jr. continued to serve.
On the Spurs' side, the starting lineup of the troika, your brother-in-law and DeJuan Blair came in.
Sun Ce originally wanted to use the star experience card, but he couldn't use it in tonight's game, once he used the star experience card, he wanted to focus on himself, but he knew that if he wanted to really find a way to beat the Spurs in a series, it was not up to him alone, but the whole team needed to work hard.
Coach Hollins and his coaching staff have thought of something over the past few days, and as they prepare to try new tactics for tonight's game, Sun Ce will need to work with the team.
Why was Coach Hollins the Spurs the first thing he thought when asked who he wanted to play in the second round?
Because the Grizzlies are strong, they are still double bears, Sun Ce is the one who raises the ceiling, the Lakers and the Mavericks, the inside line is even stronger than them, and only by playing the Spurs, the inside advantage can be shown!
