Chapter 266: The Last Stop! San Antonio

The cooperation of Zhang Yi and Robert instantly detonated the excitement factor of the audience! The home court of the Milwaukee Bucks instantly turned into a pilgrimage site! Countless cheers and applause, the last time everyone was so excited I don't know when it was.

Although the Los Angeles Lakers won this game, the audience didn't care, it was obvious that the gap in strength was here, even if the home team was required to play extraordinarily, it would be okay if the opponent had a player as strong as Zhang Yi, and even the role players Robert and Vali were strong enough to force it, so they couldn't play.

Either way, it was a good game. Of course, the finishing touch was the last minute, when the Brown Bears slashed wildly in the third quarter. The eight-point margin is fleeting, and everyone believes it is pre-season. If it's the regular season or the playoffs, they'll chase points faster, and they won't be pressed to the last second......

Zhang Yi's current identity is no longer a rookie, among the courts he has conquered, many people even regard him as the second in Curry Jr., the top five stars in the league!

In terms of influence, Zhang Yi still has room for improvement. BA has long been integrated into the lives of American audiences, and Zhang Yi has a lot of ways to go if he wants to become an influential and socially status superstar.

Of course, all of this is premised on the United States. If it is in the Grand Duke, Zhang Yi has become a top superstar, and this status even threatens Little Curry.

Because the Grand Duke's audience doesn't care about those off-court factors, in their opinion, it is an unprecedented good thing in recent years that their compatriots can make a name for themselves in the world's top basketball league!

Although this is only a preseason, Zhang Yi's stable performance and one after another performance have made the blow very clear, in the next 15 or even 20 years, this Yunhua boy will accompany many Dagong basketball boys, leading them to jump higher and play better on the stage!

After the game, Zhang Yi was interviewed as usual. Because by this time, Britney had somewhat let go of some of the management rights. Except for some large-scale basketball reality shows or press conferences before important games, post-game interviews for such small games, Zhang Yi can say whatever he wants.

"How many wins do you think the Los Angeles Lakers can win in the new season?" Zhang Yi thought for a moment, "About 65 wins." ”

Hearing this, the reporter laughed, "Don't be so modest." You just promised the New York Knicks, and they had 69 wins last season! ”

Zhang Yi shook his head, "It can't be counted like this, the Knicks are very strong, and so is Thomas, after all, they don't have all the main forces." So I can only say that the next time I meet them, it will be a tough battle. ”

Reporters still prefer low-key yellow players, because some blacks just like to talk nonsense in front of the camera. "So apart from the Golden State Warriors and the New York Knicks, are there any other teams you're afraid of?"

"No, I'm not afraid of any team, they may be stronger, but we won't lose again. If you're asking which teams I follow, the Washington Wizards, Orleans Hornets, Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs, that's it! ”

"Then the next game is against the San Antonio Spurs. What would you say to your opponents in the Southwest Division? The reporter's meaning is obvious, that is, he wants Zhang Yi to speak ruthlessly and increase the attention of the next game. But Zhang Yi only expressed his expectation and did not say anything arrogant, so he could only let their wishful thinking be in vain.

Fly directly from Milwaukee to San Antonio. Because transportation is now fast enough to reach even two cities far apart, back-to-back games are no longer limited to the east or west.

The AT&T Center Arena has gone through the GTP era led by Popovich, and the dozen or so bronze statues erected in front of the door are almost all stars and coaches of that era. This means that the arena has not been at the top of its game for a long time since then.

I don't know if it was after selecting Duncan, the Holy City ran out of luck, and even if it was bad, they didn't win even a single champion in the lottery.

But the Spurs' tradition remains the same, and every few years they will be led by one or two rising rookies and then produce explosive results in the regular season without being favored.

In the first year of the Golden State Warriors' dominance of the league, they were also held off by the San Antonio Spurs in eighth place in the league.

Although Curry Jr. was able to average 35+ per game, to everyone's surprise, they played a 3:3 draw in the first six games! And the Spurs are on the board for 3 games in a row after 3 consecutive defeats, not only for the Black Eight, but also to create the history of the biggest win difference against defeat!

The Golden State Warriors never expected that they would find themselves in such a bitter battle in the first round of the playoffs after 69 wins in the regular season. The Spurs' eleven players were all united, and each one played beyond his own.

If it weren't for Curry Jr.'s 51 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 10 steals in the tiebreaker, the Warriors would have really had a turnover.

It was also since this year that the San Antonio Spurs have regained their life. They went straight from being on the fringes of the playoffs to being another powerhouse in the West.

The next season, he had the second-best record in the West with 64 wins. No one knows where their power comes from. Because this team, which is regarded by many as a ragtag army, has no one who is an absolute superstar in itself. Even in the All-Star Game, they only had core small forward Lawless.

The San Antonio Spurs are like an unborn master in the Southwest, even though they are covered in dust, they still have cheats in their hearts, kill one person in ten steps, and leave no one behind!

After the Los Angeles Lakers arrived in the Holy City, Zhang Yi, Vali and Robert went to the Spurs' Memorial Museum. There are 'Iceman' George Gervin, 'Admiral' David Robinson, NBA's all-time power forward 'Stone Buddha' Tim Duncan, and the 'French Train' Tony Parker and 'Bald' Manu 'The Devil' Ginobli! There are also many prominent football stars who tell the story of this low-key city's unobtrusive past!

Zhang Yi likes the atmosphere here, but of course it conflicts with his pursuit of luxury in Los Angeles. It is attractive for a city to be able to achieve any kind of temperament to the extreme!

Although this year's San Antonio Spurs are still excluded from the championship reserve team because the team lacks absolute superstars. But in Zhang Yi's view, they will always have the strength to win the championship!

"Never underestimate the heart of a champion!" The Spurs have won so many championships in their history, which means that no matter how much they sink, they will always return to the top of the NBA......
