A moment later, Budenholzer, the team's No. 1 assistant coach, came in.

Compared with Popovich, who has great emotional ups and downs on a sunny day and rain for a while, Budenholzer is gentle and elegant, and it is the other extreme altogether.

"Greg is in a bad mood today, you guys don't have to hit the muzzle of the gun later."

Budenholzer reminded him when he came in.

The team members looked puzzled, but they all nodded one after another.

After a while, Popovich came in.

As Budenholzer said, his face was gloomy and ugly, as if everyone owed him $500.

"The next game is crucial, you better not do anything wrong for me on the field, if you do something wrong, just sit on the bench for me!"

He said something about some tactical details again, and this time he didn't change to a smiling face at the end, and just walked away with a strained face.

When he left, the players looked at each other, and Popovich's state was really unusual.

Tang Tian couldn't help but smile.

It seems that Popovich also saw the news of Paul's post-game interview and should have been angry.

Don't look at his actual age of more than 60, but sometimes his mental age is still very young.

The Lakers lost 100-103 to the Thunder at home in Game 4, and the big score became 1-3.

Both Los Angeles teams went to the opening with such big scores.

This time they're not looking at who can win the next game, but who can hold on a little longer.

Both the Spurs and Clippers had training scheduled on game day, but there were some nuances between the two teams.

The Spurs' practice is closed and not open to the media, while the Clippers are open to the public.

Under the lens of the media, the Clippers players smiled from time to time and looked quite relaxed.

They are really like Griffin said before, they have completely let go of their psychological baggage.

The ATT arena was full that night, and fans filled the old arena to the brim.

Among the signs held by the audience, in addition to the ones that can usually be seen, there are also some very eye-catching.

"Teach them a lesson!"

"Shut them up!"

"Let them go fishing tonight!"

……

The San Antonio fans are getting so excited.

The only possible reason for this is Paul and Griffin's post-game interview, which seems to have provoked public outrage.

"Kenny, I have a strong hunch that tonight's game is going to be a little different than usual."

The commentary of this game is Barkley, Kenny Smith, and O'Neal, the big three, and before the game has started, Barkley can't help but speak.

"From your unique sixth sense?" Smith smiled and looked at Barkley.

"No, look at the Spurs' faces." Barkley said as he looked at the Spurs' bench.

Smith looked around, and then realized what Barkley was talking about.

The Spurs had a serious look on their faces, and this was the first time they had seen each other this year.

It looks like tonight's game will be a little different.

This seriousness even spilled over into the opening ceremony.

When the Spurs starters came on the court, their expressions were cold, as if they had been infected by Duncan and Leonard.

The fans at the scene also became more excited to see the reaction of the players.

Paul and Griffin's remarks could be considered provocative, and the Spurs should respond to them.

After the opening ceremony, the two teams started one after another.

Neither side made any changes to the starting lineup.

Duncan and Jordan Jr.'s jump ball.

As soon as the sideline whistle blew, Duncan reacted extremely quickly this time, grabbing Jordan Jr. to turn the ball back into the Spurs half.

He actually jumped and won!

The first time in the series!

The scene suddenly erupted in cheers, which is a very strong signal!

The Spurs attacked the frontcourt, an AI hammer tactic, and Leonard's open three-pointer missed the point.

But Duncan grabbed the offensive rebound and dunked the ball into the basket directly through Jordan Jr.

The fans were stunned.

. Fxck！

This is 35-year-old Duncan?!

25's of it!

Little Jordan was stunned, he hadn't played against the peak Duncan, but after playing so many games, he felt powerless for the first time.

Budenholzer's eyes widened at this point.

Duncan really can't look at it according to common sense, Popovich is angry, and he has also entered the time lapse mode?

The Clippers' offense, Paul and Griffin played together, and Griffin turned sharply and ran over Dio to the basket to shoot at the board.

"Bang!"

As soon as the ball was shot, he was directly slapped by Duncan and flew off the court.

"Tim ~ Duncan!"

Accompanied by the shouts of the live DJ, the fans at the scene felt a tremor from the depths of their souls.

This attack and defense, Duncan wet them!

Duncan is 35 and will be 36 this year, and his beard is already starting to turn white, but just now this attack and defense directly dominate the forbidden area!

"You know what? This guy used to play like this every day. ”

O'Neill said with memories in his eyes at this time.

O'Neal has a high vision, and there are not many big men who can be recognized by him, and Duncan is one of them.

When this sentence is said, it is not only a recognition of Duncan, but also a kind of emotion.

You must know Duncan's words, he has locked in the position of the No. 1 forward in history.

Tang Tian was probably the one with the most balanced mentality at this time.

In fact, Duncan rarely relied on his body even when he was at his peak, and his strength in this style of play declined very slowly.

In addition to the physical strength problems caused by age, if he fights with all his strength, he still has the strength of seven or eight percent of the peak at this time.

During the regular season, including the pre-playoffs games, Duncan basically played all the time.

But as soon as Popovich got angry, his old subordinate couldn't help it.

Rookie No. 21!

The Clippers sent the ball out of the sideline, and Paul's mid-range leaning was interfered with by Duncan's long arm and almost made a three-pointer.

Dio picked up the defensive rebound, and Parker carried the ball to the frontcourt.

Duncan took the initiative to ask for the ball directly in the low post with his back against Jordan Jr. at this time!

Tonight's "Stone Buddha" is really different!

Parker motioned for his teammate to pull away and then put the ball in.

Duncan received the ball with his back to Jordan Jr., and after a turn to the free throw line to fool Jordan Jr., he turned back to a trademark board.

"Bang!"

The ball grabs the rebound and bounces into the net.

Signature Hit Board Score!

Duncan scored 4 points in a row in the opening game!

"I found out that he was in an angry state tonight." Barkley spoke.

"What? Can you see that, too? His facial expression hasn't changed at all, huh? O'Neill couldn't help but say at this time.

"No, no, Shaq, he can't look at his face, you have to look at his body movements, look at his eyes." Barkley explained.

He's seen a lot in the commentary booth, and he's still more experienced in this area.

O'Neal squinted his eyes and looked carefully into Duncan's eyes.

Not to mention, Duncan's expression has not changed for thousands of years, but this look.

Hey?

Why does it look a little cute?

Well, in fact, you can't see it with your eyes.

If Duncan laughed again at this time, it is estimated that without Crawford, O'Neill would want to give him a T.

However, it can indeed be seen from his body movements that Duncan is a little different tonight.

The Clippers' offense, Paul broke through to the basket and passed the ball to Griffin, who took the ball and flew up to dunk it.

Duncan stood directly under the basket and held the ball in Griffin's hand.

As the best and most low-key power forward in history, Duncan's physical gifts are also historic.

His reach reaches a terrifying 2.30m, while the opposite Griffin is 2.11m.

There is no harm in comparison, and the ball Griffin jumped early, but it was still pressed by Duncan's palm.

There is a confrontation of strength between the two bodies and arms.

At this time, Griffin had not yet learned to dunk when he used a non-dunk hand to push people's small movements, and after this hard confrontation, the ball was directly slapped away by Duncan!

"Stone Buddha" continuous capping!

"Charles, no one but me would want to fight against this kind of guy."

At the same time that O'Neal blew Duncan, he also blew himself.

Barkley and Smith were amused, but nodded anyway.

Although the words are pretended, they are not wrong.

Griffin didn't have time to get depressed, and the ball that was covered fell directly into Parker's hand, and Parker scored on a fast-break layup.

Spurs start the game 6-0!

Barkley's hunch was right, the Spurs were really different tonight!

"Hey! Wake up! ”

Paul lost his relaxed demeanor at the beginning and shouted at the players.

This opening made him suddenly think that if he lost this game, they would have to go straight home to fish.

Griffin received the ball in the low post and hit Duncan with his back, Duncan's old tree was entrenched, and he couldn't move at all, and he couldn't go in.

The ball had to be returned to Paul, who burst to the free-throw line to meet Parker's mid-range leaning back and finally scored, and the Clippers finally broke the scoring drought.

However, in the end, Duncan made another turnaround layup under the basket, and after a strong confrontation with Griffin, who assisted the defense, caused the latter's defensive foul.

"Stone Buddha" hit both free throws steadily, and scored 6 points in less than three minutes of the opening game!

"You know how good a big man is to average 25 points per game in that slow-paced game of the last century."

Kenny Smith also began to sigh.

O'Neill and Barkley both smiled and nodded at this time.

Duncan's peak was long, and he was at his peak as soon as he debuted.

At the beginning, they played a nationally broadcast training match with Olajuwon, David Robinson, and Malone's Super Luxury Dream Team III, and the college selection team led by Duncan.

In addition to Duncan, the names on that college selection team were Billups and Pierce.

Although they won in the end, they narrowly won and even trailed the college selection team by a full 17 points at halftime, 42-59!

That shocked the nation at the time.

Duncan's reputation exploded with 22 points and 10 rebounds in that game, which also triggered the subsequent Spurs and Celtics to compete for the grand occasion.

Foye's three-point catch on the outside was directly covered by Tang Tian and flew out of the court.

The Spurs were not the only Duncan tonight, the whole team was in a terrible state.

The Clippers sent the ball out on the sideline, and Butler's breakaway with the ball was also deflected wide by Leonard's defense.

The Spurs attacked the frontcourt again, and as soon as Duncan got the ball, the Clippers went straight to the bag.

If this is not covered, their internal line will really be blown up.

However, the Clippers are in the bag, and the Spurs' opportunity to go outside will come out.

Tang Tian took advantage of Leonard's three-point opportunity to block the ball.

Duncan's first hand-shake pass.

Tang Tian took the ball and shot.

"Huh!"

The three-pointer went into the net.

Spurs lead 9-2!

"Whoa, whoa!" O'Neill let out an exclamation.

"They're in trouble." Kenny Smith said seriously.

Paul's layup in the front court was deflected off by Duncan, and the rebound was also picked up by Duncan.

Looking back, the Spurs' Zip tactics in the frontcourt, Leonard's open three-pointer in the bottom corner also scored.

Within five minutes, the Spurs had taken a 10-point lead.

"Guys! It's not a troublesome thing anymore, this game will take place. ”

Barkley shouted directly.

Although "Big Mouth" is often slapped in the face by himself, he has more than ten years of experience in commenting, and his prediction of the game is accurate most of the time.

With more than 8 minutes to play in the first quarter, the Clippers did not improve on both offensive and defensive ends, and the Spurs had a full 15-point lead at 21-6.

Official suspension time.

Paul once again grabbed the tactical board to lay out the tactics, and it was obvious that he was very convening.

On the Spurs' side, Popovich's expression did not mean the slightest relief.

"Kehuai, what's going on with the position you were defending just now? Don't let Butler into the box, understand? ”

"Danny, did Williams have a breakthrough? What are you going to do with him? Push it on! ”

……

This was fully felt by what Popovich said during the timeout.

"Don't be soft, beat their out for me!"

At the end of the timeout, Popovich said something very indecent.

The players were stunned, this Kobe was much more vulgar than before.

But it's also clearer what Popovich wants to do tonight.

The Clippers are so sassy that he's not ready to keep his hands on.

After the timeout, both sides changed their benches one after another.

On the Spurs' side, Tang Tian and Dio are still on the court, and the remaining three are Ginobili, Green and Split.

The Clippers have Griffin leading the team, plus Bledsoe, Williams, Nick Young and Kenyon Martin.

Griffin singled Dio in the frontcourt, turned around and went to the basket.

Dio grabbed the ball very well and didn't give Griffin a chance to get up, Griffin threw his hand to shoot, but was slapped back by Split.

Griffin takes off his braces and complains.

But this is not Los Angeles, and the referee didn't blow the whistle.

Tang Tian grabbed the ball on the outside, the Spurs quickly played a fast break, and Ginobili hit the frontcourt three-point line for a quick stop to chase three points.

"Huh!"

The three-pointer got up and down, and the difference came to 18 points.

"That's it! Torture them to death! ”

"Let them go to the fishing boat and be proud!"

"Welcome to the Hawaiian Fishery!"

……

The widening point difference made the emotions of the fans more and more excited.

Williams' catch-up shot up front was interfered with by Green and still didn't go in.

Dio picked up a defensive long rebound, and the Spurs played a fast break.

This time, Ginobili gave the ball to Tang Tian, who was fast attacking the bottom corner.

Tang Tian received the ball and made a three-point shot.

"Huh!"

A crisp sound, three points again!

Before the first quarter came, the difference had come to 21 points!

"Oh! shit！ The Clippers were beaten out of tonight! ”

In the commentary seat, Barkley's big mouth was completely uncontrollable.
