The 2007-2008 season saw Robert Horry finish the last season of his career, and he was one of the greatest role players in NBA history. The average of 7.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in the regular season is not remarkable, but Horry has repeatedly created magical scripts at critical moments, frequently sent out stunners, in the final moments of the game, he is the most feared existence of opponents, his career spanned 16 years, basically played for the Rockets, Lakers, Spurs, during which he also played 32 games briefly in the Suns, the magic is that every team he has stayed in, the team has at least reached the second round of the playoffs, and today, the 38-year-old Horry has surpassed Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time first with a record of 237 playoff games, and his 56 three-pointers in the finals are also a record that future generations look up to。 Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Duncan is averaging 19.3 points and 11.3 rebounds per game this season, Parker is averaging 18.8 and 6.0 assists per game, and Ginobili has mainly played for Michael Finley off the bench this season, averaging 19.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, which also earned him the Sixth Man of the Year trophy this season, and the Spurs have won 56 games this season and are tied with the Hornets for second in the West to reach the playoffs.

In the first round, the Spurs encountered the old rival Suns, and finally the Spurs eliminated the latter 4:1, although the score was very different, but the actual two teams played very exciting, sparks were flying, the first game was a hot fight for two overtime, and finally relied on Ginobili's layup to beat the Suns, in the second round, the Spurs encountered the league's new army New Orleans Hornets, if this round of the series is not put in the team history of the Hornets, then the Hornets have nothing to talk about - the Spurs enter the playoffs every year, It's just not giving other teams a chance!

After seven games, the Spurs defeated the Hornets 4-3, Duncan was completely limited by Tyson Chandler on the offensive end, and Ginobili and Parker became the x-factors that made the difference, and the two were able to average 40 points and 12 assists per game. After the Spurs stepped on the Hornets with difficulty, they met an old acquaintance, the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals, but this year's Lakers are no longer the Lakers of the early twentieth century, Kobe is still the same Kobe, and the basket bully O'Neal has been replaced by Pau Gasol, who has a well-rounded style of play.

In the first game of the finals, the Spurs lost a good game when they once led the Lakers by as many as 16 points, and were won by the Lakers 89-85, Duncan almost beat Gasol, 30 points, 18 rebounds, 4 blocks, Parker scored 18 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, and the key to the Lakers' victory was naturally Kobe, he scored 27 points in the whole game, and played crazy iron in the first three quarters, but in the most critical fourth quarter, he scored 14 points on 6-of-9 shooting, and Gasol scored 19 points and 7 rebounds on 9-of-16 shooting. In the second game, the Spurs defeated the Lakers 71-101, the team's highest score was Parker's 13 points, Duncan only scored 12 points on 6-of-14 shooting, 16 rebounds, and the others did not score double-doubles, and at the beginning, the Spurs suffered two consecutive defeats......

After the game, in the basement of the locker room, Duncan approached Popovich and complained,

How did you command, a 16-point lead can also be taken down by the opponent, and the second game is a 30-point fiasco, can you still play this round of the series!

Popovich looked embarrassed, indeed, can Duncan still rely on him for 30 points and 18 rebounds? This basin can only be buckled on his head, but Popovich suddenly smiled sinisterly and said,

Don't panic, I've already deployed, the plan is like this, you see why the Lakers are winning now? I don't care about the inside line and the outside line, the outside Lakers have Kobe, and the inside Lakers have three highs, but, I have to say but, Bynum has been injured, basically there is nothing to do this year, Gasol, you Lao Deng can solve it alone, the three highs on the inside line is really not to worry about......

Wait, there's another Odom......

Shhhh (By the end of the series, Odom had more turnovers than assists per game, making all sorts of nonsensical passing errors...... ）

And what about Kobe? Duncan said uneasily,

Kobe Bryant is a thorn!

Popovich suddenly put his finger in front of Duncan's eyes and shook it confidently, Kobe Bryant is not worried, Bowen can do it alone, do you know what Kobe Bryant likes to do the most?

Duncan pondered for a moment, and replied quietly,

His favorite shot is not ......

Right! Quite right! He doesn't just like shooting, but he also likes xjbt, so our defensive strategy for the Lakers is to defend others, let Kobe Bryant be a person xjbd, xjbt, and the victory will definitely belong to us!

In the gloomy room, two people laughed in a low voice......

In the third game, the Spurs' tactics worked, they defeated the Lakers 103-84, Kobe Bryant scored 30 points, Ginobili also scored 30 points, Gasol was beaten by Duncan, only 7-of-18 shooting got 15 points and 5 rebounds, while Duncan shot 8-of-17 with 22 points, 21 rebounds and 5 assists, and Parker also contributed 20 points.

In the fourth game, the Spurs severed the connection between Kobe Bryant and other players, Kobe Bryant alone with all kinds of xjbd, the key is that xjbd also scored, 29 shots in the game, hit 14 balls and scored 28 points, 10 rebounds, yes, you read that right, Kobe Bryant didn't make a single free throw in the whole game, and only shot a three-point shot once, but he didn't score, 28 shots are basically all kinds of mid-range, all kinds of shots against the sky,

"Huh!"

This ball is unreasonable, let him shoot!

"Huh!"

Leave him alone, it's a balloon!

"Huh!"

Damn, that's fine!

"Huh!"

You vote for another one!

"Huh!"

Brothers, him!

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

The Lakers defeated the Spurs 93-91, Odom scored 16 points and 9 rebounds, Gasol only had 10 points and 10 rebounds, the Spurs' Duncan scored 29 points and 17 rebounds, Parker scored 23 points and 9 assists, Brent Barry scored 23 points, but no other players scored in double figures, Ginobili lost the edge of the last game, and only scored 7 points on 2-of-8 shooting.

In the basement, Duncan and Popovich met again, and Duncan said worriedly,

We were too careless about Kobe Bryant in the last game, and we woke up from a dream when he hit the fifth shot, but it was too late! Is there something wrong with your tactics!

Popovich coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, and he said,

My tactics are absolutely fine, 82 games in a season, plus nearly 100 games in the playoffs, everyone has a time when they feel against the sky, but this happened to let us meet, Lao Deng, the next game against Kobe, you still play like this, the tactics are exactly the same as the last game, I don't believe that Kobe can still have the feeling of the last game!

Good! Listen to you! Same as the last one!

Duncan nodded heavily!

At the beginning of the fifth game, the Spurs still pursued the tactics of the fourth game, cutting off Kobe Bryant's connection with other teammates, and leaving Kobe Bryant alone! Kobe Bryant still offered an unreasonable shot!

"Huh!"

Brothers, him! Not so much patience anymore!

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

"......"

……

An extremely anxious voice came from the other side of the ocean - to teammates, hey, xx is out of the vacancy, to teammates, play reasonably, hey, don't shoot, don't shoot, this shooting action is deformed, this ball is unreasonable, slot, and it goes in again......

In the end, the Spurs were defeated by the Lakers 92:100, and the big score was 1:4 by the Lakers, Duncan played a triple-double in this game, 19 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, while Kobe Bryant scored 39 points on 16-of-30 shooting, and this round of the series is not shy about saying that it was shot by Kobe Bryant himself, Duncan averaged 22.4 points and 17.4 rebounds per game, which couldn't stop Kobe Bryant's average of 29.2 points per game plus 53.3% shooting!

In the 2008-2009 season, the Spurs signed shooter Roger Mason with a two-year contract worth $7.3 million, Mason played a huge role in the Spurs, averaging 11.8 points per game and 42.1% three-point shooting rate made the opponent dare not arbitrarily wrap the inside, and Mason also supported the team's outside defense No. 2 offense when Ginobili was out due to injury, and in the 2008 draft, the Spurs selected guard George Hill from Purdue University with the 26th pick in the first round. Hill's idol since childhood was Michael Jordan, so he focused on exercising his offensive ability, and he was a big killer in high school. 36.2 points per game is the fifth-highest scoring in Indiana high school history, but as a scoring guard, he is short in height, only 188 cm, which makes Hill can only play the No. 1 position, and Hill was not reused in the Spurs at first, but then after hard work, he entered the Spurs' rotation lineup, and gave the Spurs a huge help in the playoffs, in his rookie season, Hill averaged only 16.5 minutes per game, 5.7 points per game and 40.3% shooting percentage was not outstanding.

As mentioned above, after the end of last season, Robert Horry announced his retirement, in Horry's career, all the teams he played for reached the second round of the playoffs, but as soon as he retired this season, the Spurs could not enter the second round immediately, in the 2008-2009 season, although the Spurs tied for second place in the West with the Nuggets and the Trail Blazers with a 54-28 record, but they were eliminated in the first round by the Mavericks, who were not outstanding. Of course, the Spurs' elimination has something to do with Horry, but more importantly, injuries, Duncan has been plagued by plantar fasciitis this season and has been playing almost with one leg in tow throughout the season, while Ginobili has only played 44 games in the whole season and not a single playoff game due to a sprained right ankle.

In the 2009 offseason, the Spurs traded with the Bucks, sending decorated veterans Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Oberto to the Bucks in exchange for 29-year-old forward Richard Jefferson. Who is Richard Jefferson? That's right, it's the veteran who won the Cavaliers championship this year and was about to retire but James Irving asked him to play for another year, he was originally a star cultivated by the New Jersey Nets, and was later sent to the Bucks in a trade involving Yi Jianlian. Last season, he averaged 19.6 points and 4.6 rebounds per game with the Bucks, which can be considered a star, and a player of such value was traded by the Spurs for three veterans, which can be called a robbery trade, and the ESPN compared this deal to the Lakers' empty glove Gasol trade.

Of course, the Bucks are not stupid, their main purpose in sending Jefferson away is to save money, the Bucks have entered a rebuilding period, they don't want to pay an extra penny of luxury tax, send Jefferson, the team can save about $20 million, the Bucks are also more humane, he asked Jefferson to think about which team to go to, Jefferson chose the Spurs for the championship, and finally made the trip, Jefferson's arrival made the Spurs worry about the outside offense and defense for the next three years, but Jefferson did not have a championship life, In the past three years, the Spurs, who were good before, suddenly failed, although the strength on paper is still strong, but as soon as it comes to the playoffs, the power will be cut off, not to mention the championship, the Western Conference championship has not been won, in 2012, Jefferson left the Spurs, and as a result, the Spurs immediately turned over as a serf, and reached the finals that season and fought with the Heat for seven games, and successfully won the championship the next year, it is also the virtue of a good life in God, speaking of which, Lord Belle said, let me cry for a while......
