off-season, The Spurs first handed Duncan a 7-year contract worth $122 million, and secondly - due to the retirement of the general, the Spurs immediately signed interior player Nesterovic in the free market with a 6-year contract worth $42 million, this brother belongs to the blue-collar player who is stronger in defense than offense, has a hand distance but is rarely used, the main role is defense and rebounding, he used to play in the Timberwolves, partnered with Garnett, Garnett is a person everyone knows, as long as he stands on the court, whether it is a regular game or an intra-team training game, the mouth has always been Dobido, Dobido, endless, Nesterovic is a relatively low-key person, silent and little, and Duncan can pee in a pot, which is rumored to be why Nesterovic said he would not stay with the Timberwolves. Pen ~ fun ~ Ge www.biquge.info Nesterovic became the team's starting center in the 2003-2004 season, starting all 82 games, averaging 8.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game.

At the same time, the Spurs also signed Robert Horry with a big heart with a two-year contract worth $6.3 million, this contract is less than what he is worth, he considers the Spurs mainly because of his daughter, because his daughter suffers from a rare disease, his home is only 319 kilometers from San Antonio, Houston, Horry has become an indispensable point on the team's bench after coming to the Spurs, averaging only about 15 minutes per game, averaged 4.8 points and 3.4 rebounds per game, but his value has been repeatedly staged on the playoff stage, although Horry has done a lot for the family, but unfortunately, in 2011, Horry's eldest daughter Ashley Horry died of illness at the age of 17.

The Spurs' road to reinforcement is not over, they made another three-way trade, got Hido Turkoglou, this year is the fourth year of Turkoglou's career, the previous three years he was only a bench for the Saramento Kings, he originally played as a bench when he first arrived, and then squeezed the original starting guard Ginobili to the bench with excellent outside shooting, this season's Turkoglu averaged 9.2 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, and the three-point shooting rate was as high as 41.9%, But his shooting percentage is not as good as his three-point shooting percentage, which is only 40.6%.

Of course, some people come and some people leave, and Stephen Jackson, who is well-rounded offensively and defensively, became a free agent this season, and he wanted a big contract, but it was clear that the Spurs didn't have much salary space after completing Duncan's contract extension, and the little money they had had to find an inside partner for Duncan, so they put Jackson in the free market, and as a result, Jackson signed a base salary worth $1.1 million a year with the Hawks, and the salary space for the Hawks will be released next year.

There is another reason why Jackson left the team, that is, Popovich was dissatisfied with Jackson's daily surfing of the Internet, and he complained in the media more than once,

Ah, look at Jackson, who is playing Twitter every day, and knows how to surf the Internet, and when you have the time to go online, practice your shooting!

Who is Jackson, he was told two or three times by Popovich, he was also angry, he scolded,

Damn, you keep your dog's eyes open and take a good look at it, when did Lao Tzu play Twitter! Lao Tzu plays Instagram (an older picture social platform, similar to China's beauty camera + WeChat).

Last season, there was a player who was signed by the Spurs on a ten-day short contract and got a lot of playing time this season, he is Devin Brown, Brown participated in the 2002 NBA draft, but was not selected, one was signed by the Spurs and Nuggets in the summer league, cut and re-signed, and finally gained a foothold in the Spurs this season, what? You don't know him? Well, tell you something, you know him, a very famous thing, everyone knows it, Maddy 35 seconds 13 minutes you know, at the end of the game, he fell down on the dribble and made a mistake and was cut off by Maddy, Maddy hit the three-point shot and then crossed his hands on his hips and looked at the person on the ceiling with a blank face...... Well, you know who it is......

Duncan is averaging 22.3 points, 12.4 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game this season, Parker has grown into a solid point guard, averaging 14.7 points and 5.5 assists per game, Ginobili is also averaging 12.8 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game, Marik Cross is averaging 7.9 points and 4.8 rebounds per game, Bowen is averaging 6.9 points and 3.1 rebounds per game, and this season the Spurs have a 57-25 record and enter the playoffs in third place in the West.

The first-round opponent was the Memphis Grizzlies, who made history by reaching the playoffs for the first time in team history, but there was no more to it, after four games, the Spurs easily swept the Grizzlies, and in the second round, the Spurs met their old rival, the Los Angeles Lakers. At that time, the Lakers team gathered the four kings through excellent operation in the summer of 2003, Kobe Bryant, O'Neal, Karl Malone and Gary Payton, how strong is their strength, this season has not yet started, and the media believe that the championship is already in their bag, and the Spurs after last summer's excellent reinforcement, is also a very strong team, these two teams basically represent the strongest team in the West, at that time, if you only look at the team's books, so to speak, Whoever crosses the threshold of the Western Conference semifinals will be the champion! At that time, the Lakers and Spurs had such a strong book strength!

On May 2, 2004, the NBA Western Conference semifinals began, against the two sides of the two consecutive playoffs in the playoffs met the Lakers and the Spurs, last year the Spurs defeated the Lakers, and finally won the championship, and this year, the Lakers gathered F4 super combination to make a comeback, the war of the century is about to start!

In the first game, the first three quarters of the two teams played inseparable, the fourth quarter of the sudden change, the Spurs played a 26:13 offensive, a wave took away the victory of the game, Duncan was incompetent in this quarter, 5 of 6 shots in a single quarter and scored 12 points efficiently, and finally he shot 13 of 18 and scored 30 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks, while O'Neal scored 19 points, 13 rebounds and 5 blocks on 8-of-14 shooting, and Kobe Bryant scored 31 points on 10-of-26 shooting, But Malone and Payton combined for 14 points on 4-of-18 shooting, while the Spurs scored 20 points on Duncan's shooting and Ginobili also scored 11 points.

In the second game, Parker beat Payton in the first quarter, shooting 7-of-11 and scoring 16 points in a single quarter! Helped the Spurs lead the Lakers by 16 points in the first quarter, and finally the Spurs beat the Lakers again 95:85 at the end of the game, O'Neal scored 32 points and 15 rebounds to no avail, Kobe Bryant scored 17 points with 17 shots, Malone and Payton scored 20 points combined, and the Spurs Parker Jr. scored 30 points in a single game, Duncan scored 24 points and 7 rebounds, Ginobili scored 15 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals on 6-of-8 shooting.

The Spurs defeated the Lakers in two consecutive games, and it seems that last year's scene is going to repeat itself, and after the game, a depressed O'Neal approached head coach Phil Jackson and asked,

Brother Chan, what can deal with the jujube walnut dew that can be spurted?

Jackson smiled slightly and said softly,

Looks like Bobo is forcing me to make a trick, come on, old popsicle!

What is an old popsicle?

O'Neill asked, puzzled.

Jackson put his right index finger to his mouth and said,

Shh

The third game moved to the Staples Center, and before the game, Duncan found that it was not O'Neal, who was familiar from the previous two games, but Karl Malone, who was nearly 40 years old, standing in front of him. Marlon saw Duncan and said hatefully,

Sample, you are still trembling if you don't get you in two games, this game will see Lao Tzu clean up you! When I have time, I will go back and ask your eldest brother Robinson how he beat him back then!

Duncan naturally knew the battle between Robinson and Malone in his heart, and in an instant, Malone's strong chest muscles and hard iron elbows poured into Duncan's mind, and as a result, Duncan only got 10 points and 13 rebounds on 4-of-14 shooting, but there were 6 turnovers, while Malone scored 13 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals, O'Neal made a big kill on the inside, Nestor Robinson was not his opponent at all, O'Neal shot 11-of-13 and scored 28 points, 15 rebounds, 5 assists and 8 blocks, Led the team to a 105-81 victory over the Spurs.

After the game, Duncan received a gift from the home team's locker room - an old popsicle, Robinson saw this gift, wept silently, touched Duncan's back, and cried with a handful of snot and tears.

Virtuous brother, you want to avenge me!

In the fourth game, Duncan's performance picked up, scoring 19 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists on 5-of-13 shooting, and only 1 turnover, but the enemy was too strong, Kobe Bryant was like a god in 27 shots and 15 of 42 points to lead the Lakers to defeat the Spurs 98-90, and the big score of the two teams came to a 2-2 draw.

In the fifth game, the key battle of Tianwang Mountain, the two teams played thrillingly, with 11.9 seconds left at the end of regular time, Kobe Bryant hit a high shot to make the Spurs 72:73 behind by 1 point, and then Duncan singled O'Neal on the right side of the ribs, but he didn't push O'Neal away several times in a row, Duncan turned around, faced the frame, and held the ball in his left hand to get into the basket, but O'Neal's defense was perfect, he stuck Duncan's breakthrough position one step ahead, Duncan was forced to break through near the free throw line, and there was not much time leftDuncan had to make a move, and he threw himself out directly, his body almost flying sideways, throwing the ball in his hand when he lost his balance...... Basketball hollow into the net!

O'Neal, who was standing under the basket, touched his head,, this is all right!

The game time is only 0.4 seconds, after the Lakers paused, the Spurs' perfect defense gave the Lakers no chance to serve, the Lakers could only call a second timeout in a row, after this timeout, Payton stood in the midcourt to serve, Kobe Bryant attracted two defenders in the high position, and suddenly a blue shadow rushed up, it was Fisher! Payton didn't think much about it, threw the ball to Fisher, Ginobili immediately made up for Fisher's body, Fisher did not hesitate at all after getting the ball, and threw the ball directly in the air, and at this time, Ginobili also held his hands high in front of Fisher, perfect defense!

"Huh!"

The ball turned out to be hollow into the net! Excited, Fisher rushed straight into the locker room......

The referees then gathered to watch the replay, and the slow-motion showed that the strike worked, and Fisher completed a 0.4-second kill.

There's a lot of stuff in that, first of all, and before that, The league stipulates that the minimum effective time to complete the kill is 0.8 seconds, which means that they believe that a player cannot make a shooting action at 0.8 seconds, and when the game time enters 0.8 seconds, even if he has the ball, there is no chance of a kill, but then the Hornets' Baron Davis changed all that, he completed a 0.6-second three-point shot in the playoffs last year, and the slow motion showed that the ball was still effective, and the league recognized this kill at the same time, it was equivalent to overturning the previous 0.8 second rule, and later changed the time to 0.3 seconds, but there were three actions that could be completed in this 0.3 seconds, 1 is the air relay, 2 is the dunk, 3 is the throw, that is to say, 0.3 seconds is the limit of a player's shooting offensive time, so theoretically, Fisher's 0.4 seconds of stunner can be said to be the limit time to complete a super-fast shot.

Many years later, when someone asked if Zen Ge's 0.4-second shot was set up by him, he nodded, saying that he didn't set up the strategy at the first timeout, but let Payton create the illusion of giving the ball to Kobe Bryant but not sending it out, causing the second timeout, which made the Spurs even more convinced that they would definitely let Kobe complete this timeout.

So why would that person be Fisher.

Quite simply, because Fisher is left-handed, he only needs to turn 90 degrees to throw the ball out of the air with his back in the air, and the right hand needs to rotate 180 degrees, and the less angle of rotation in the air, the less time consumed.

So why do you think Fisher will hit the killer shot?

Because Fisher licked Malone's old popsicle before the game.

The whole game, in fact, the performance of the Lakers players was not good, Fisher, who became a hero, only scored 6 points on 2-of-6 shooting, but in the last shot, he saved the Lakers, Kobe Bryant only scored 22 points in 27 shots, O'Neal scored 11 points and 11 rebounds on 5-of-9 shooting, Malone scored 7 points and 12 rebounds on 3-of-10 shooting, and Duncan got 21 points and 21 rebounds. The Spurs tragically became the NBA's No. 1 background emperor.

In the sixth game, the Lakers did not give the Spurs any chance at 88:76, eliminated the Spurs 4:2, and in this year's Silly Shark matchup, Duncan averaged 20.7 points and 12.2 rebounds per game, shooting 47.3%, O'Neal averaged 22.5 points and 14.5 rebounds per game, and the shooting rate was as high as 63.5%, from the data O'Neal is slightly better than Duncan, but Duncan is not afraid of O'Neal, he is afraid of Malone's old popsicle.
