Ginobili gritted his braces and smiled strangely at Xue Ding.

Xue Ding wiped the sweat from his forehead and didn't care.

Tonight, he put an old demon knife in place, and to be honest, it was a bit dark.

Ginobili is not a player to be judged by the rules of secular default.

In terms of individual accolades, he's basically blank except for the best sixth man and a limited handful of All-Stars.

This old demon knife doesn't have the best lineup, no MVP, and the data is very average.

Most of the time, he also played as a substitute.

However, the World Championships + Olympics + three championship rings plus 50 wins for the Spurs in N years are enough to explain a lot of problems.

Ginobili's career is a great legend.

Xue Ding has watched a lot of Ginobili games, and it wasn't until he faced off in person that he knew how terrible this guy was, and this guy was difficult to deal with.

The beginning of the Ginobili legend can be defined as the start of the 2002 World Championships in Indianapolis.

It was the first time since the American Dream Team formed a team that they lost in front of the whole world, and it was still on their doorstep.

And Ginobili, the young man who took down the Big Mac, hadn't played an NBA game before that.

Incredibly, this miracle happened again two years later, this time at the Athens Olympics.

At that time, Ginobili already had a championship ring, but he had only played in the NBA for two years.

In order to defeat a much stronger opponent, the technical and tactical level is of course important, but on this basis, it is very important that the heart is as hard as a stone and never timid.

Many people face too strong opponents, and their hearts are either self-doubting or worshipping.

Before the U.S. team was defeated, Dream was everywhere they went, how their opponents worshipped them as rock stars.

Xue Yeding clearly knows the mentality of a rookie when playing against an NBA superstar.

Now that he's playing against Ginobili, Duncan, and Parker, it's going to be difficult to change the mentality and attitude of the fans.

But Ginobili at that time had a completely different way of thinking and attitude towards the dream team in front of him.

Maybe he didn't even think about whether he could win.

What Xue Ding saw in his eyes was the desire to win.

When Ginobili was a teenager, his coach forbade him to break through, because with his size, if he was always in the penalty area, he would have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life.

More than one person has commented on him like this, Xue Ding once heard head coach McMillan say that in the 2005 Western Conference semifinals, McMillan watched Ginobili throw his thin body into the penalty area again and again.

McMillan also said at the time that Ginobili was playing like this, and he would not have to be in a wheelchair at the age of 50.

Whether it's daring three-pointers again and again, or swimming like a snake in the muscular jungle and then dropping the ball in the hoop, Ginobili looks calm as if nothing has happened.

He didn't care.

He is neither afraid of losing his team nor afraid of making mistakes himself.

Ginobili's career was made up of a series of great assassinations and stupid suicides.

In the past playoffs, many people can count on their fingers how many times he has violated tactical common sense to grab three-pointers, and how many times he has risked a pass and been broken.

He's the only outlier in Popovich's hands!

How can I say that?

There are two sides to the coin, because he is brave to the point of being almost reckless, and there will be those great assassinations in cold blood.

So, the Argentines love him, the Spurs love him, and Popovich loves him.

Although he also had a series of stupid mistakes that made Popovich want to pull out his hair countless times.

But there didn't seem to be anything on the basketball court that could scare him.

He is strong by him, and the breeze blows on the hills.

He is crossed by him, and the bright moon shines on the river.

Ginobili's boldness and determination, genius breakthrough and playmaking brilliance did not push him to strive to become the greatest player he could be.

Yes, no matter how good a player is on the bench, he can't become an MVP.

But Xue Ding knew that the Argentine, as the core of the national team that had fallen behind the dream team, and he was also a completely talented person in the NBA, was willing to play as a substitute.

Some people's greatness is because of their domineering appearance; Some people are great, but because they are not obvious, which makes people full of endless imagination and admiration for his heritage. He's a top scorer, but he hasn't averaged more than 20 points per game in a season; He's the team's best playmaker, but he's not the assist king; He has the ability to lead a team, but spends most of his time on the bench.

At the end of the day, he's the kind of team player who plays with his life when he comes on the pitch, but doesn't care about the stats or personal accolades.

He is a man born for victory in this impetuous and inflated world of flowers.

Such a man, fake fall is one of his stunts!

But Xue Ding is clearly going to touch Ginobili today.

"Deng-style porcelain" is indeed very awesome.

Xue Ding's style of play is also very shameless.

But it did help the Trail Blazers catch up with the score,

There are only 4 points left in the difference, and it is only a matter of two rounds, as long as you defend one or two, you can attack again.

Popovich looked at Xue Ding on the field and frowned, Hill and Ginobili did not play their due role, and his speed could not prevent Xue Ding.

Ginobili came over and continued to break through with the inside screen.

This time, under Xue Ding's greeting, Purzbilla and Fernandez wrapped up Ginobili at the same time.

In desperation, Ginobili passed the ball to the hands of Hill on the outside!

Xue Ding was clinging to it.

As Popovich expected, Hill suffered a lot when he ran into Xue Ding's physical confrontation, and under Xue Ding's entanglement, Hill had no choice but to pass the ball to Bonner in the bottom corner again!

Bonner catches the ball and shoots against the defense three-pointer!

The Trail Blazers' rotation defense was in place, and Webster pounced!

"Box!"

Bonner's interference three-pointer doesn't score!

Rebound Xue Ding protection.

After Xue Ding dribbled, he also made a three-point shot at the top of the arc to cover it!

But not this time.

The change in posture has improved his hit rate a bit, but not a fundamental change!

Spurs attack.

Ginobili dribbles to the top of the arc.

Continuous cover loops.

Burst to the free throw line.

The Trailblazers still wrapped Ginobili.

Ginobili was still ready to split the ball into the bottom corner.

But this ball Fernandez was on guard, dialed the ball, and changed the route of the ball's pass!

Xue Ding was truncated in the middle!!

+1 steal

"Wow!!"

Xue Ding starts to accelerate!!

"Here we are."

"It's coming!!"

When the fans of the Rose Garden saw Xue Ding, who was fully accelerated, the adrenaline of every fan would soar!!

A lot of fans stood up!!

Xue Ding on the field did not disappoint.

He sped past Ciel.

Bonner was still coming over on the other side, but Xue Ding's speed was already fully up.

Overtaking!!!

When Xue Ding used his speed to eat Bonner raw, the Spurs' backcourt was empty.

Seeing Xue Ding, who was about to show off his dunk, Popovich closed his eyes helplessly.

Xue Ding crossed the free throw line from the right side, and his mind was full of Carter's dunk posture!!

Without the slightest hesitation.

For Xue Ding, one and a half sessions have adjusted his entire physical state to the best.

As soon as he crossed the free throw line, Xue Ding kicked into the air!

Hook the basketball with your right wrist.

The body has completed a 360-degree turn in the air!

A big swing smashes the basket!!

"Box!"

33 to 31
