It was late at night when the Thunder's plane arrived in San Antonio.

Because it was a back-to-back game, Li Linlin lay down early as soon as he was busy, and the tactical video analysis had already been completed on the plane.

The Thunder went 0-4 against the Spurs last season.

That's right, the Thunder were swept by the Spurs in the presence of the main force, so this game has no choice but to be careless.

In the 08-09 season, the Spurs were hit hard by injuries that erupted late in the regular season, with Duncan's knee injury and Ginobili's season reimbursement disrupting the team's plans, and Bruce Bowen on the defensive end being greatly reduced due to his age, and the whole team was in a state of inadequacy.

Although at the end of the regular season, the Spurs still won the eighth Southwest Division championship in 10 years due to a mistake by the Rockets, in the first round of the playoffs, the Spurs were completely unable to contain the Mavericks.

The difference in talent manifests itself in extreme form at this moment, in the first few playoff games, although the Spurs have curbed the scoring of the Mavericks' arrowheads Nowitzki and Terry to a considerable extent, but they have not been able to kill the opponent's third and fourth points, and then the Spurs' own offense, although Duncan and Parker combined can score more than 50 points in almost every game, the others have achieved little and experienced the true taste of "despair".

Last season's Spurs swallowed a dismal exit in the first round of the playoffs for the first time since 2000.

But Spurs have a great coach! It's about endless possibilities.

Popovich has overhauled Larry Brown's set, establishing a Spurs-esque style of pragmatic and rigorous play.

The Spurs have one of the best uniforms in the league, and most importantly, they have Tim Duncan, the big man who was drafted by the Spurs in 1997 and has become one of the greatest power forwards in history.

Duncan is also the reason why the Spurs are this Spurs.

In the summer, in order to make the most of Duncan's final moments, Spurs owner Holt threw out a lot of dollars for the first time.

…………

The piecemeal contracts of three veterans in exchange for a trade for Richard Jefferson were considered a classic Spurs-style "robbery".

The deal gave the Spurs an All-Star small forward who averaged nearly 20 points and 5 rebounds per game, filling the gap in the No. 3 position for the Silver and Black while greatly increasing the Spurs' scoring ability.

McDyce and Ratliffe have brought stiffness to the Spurs' interior line, a leap forward from last season's Kurt Thomas and Oberto.

Defensively, Bowen's departure has created a void that cannot be filled, and it is impossible to find a top defensive expert like Bruce Bowen on the entire team, which can only be filled by teamwork.

However, the Spurs have always had the problem of insufficient talent in the squad and too many people in and out, resulting in the Spurs' current record this season is 9-6 and ranks eighth in the West.

...........................

Overall, there is a lot of good news for Li Forest in tomorrow's game.

The main embodiment is that, first of all, the Spurs' lineup is one year older, Parker can't play this game due to injury, and the main point guard is Hill.

Then this season, the Spurs are in transition, the introduced Jefferson has not been able to integrate into the system, the overall lineup is not green, the main force is not old and injured, and the rotation is mainly soy sauce.

The defensive core is sluggish as it gets older and has not lost weight.

Then Manu, the only reliable manu, was in poor shape during this time.

…………

Even so, Lee Forest knows that it is almost impossible for the Spurs with Popovich to miss the playoffs.

This season, the Spurs should rely on Manu's sudden outburst after the All-Star to lead the struggling Spurs to 50 wins and 7th in the West to squeeze into the playoffs, no matter how the Spurs' lineup changes, their spiritual core is there.

No one could have imagined that the spurs would even win the championship three years later, beating the Heat triumvirate.........

…………

Lee decided to use Kobe's attacking style to play the Spurs, because Kobe has always been the Spurs' nemesis.

Kobe Bryant's shooting doesn't look at timing, it looks at mood.

The Spurs' inherent system did not work at all in the face of Kobe's unreasonable offense, and in the 08 playoff series, the Spurs were Kobe Bryant's death.

..............

The next day.

Because both the Thunder and the Spurs are short of major generals, the only highlight of this game is whether the Spurs, who rely on team defense to win after Lee Forest cut 40+ in a row, can end Lee Forest's crazy individual show!!

The Spurs can average 97 points per game on offense this season, and the defense can limit opponents to only 93 points, which is better than the Portland Trail Blazers.

However, the Spurs rely more on empirical defense with Duncan as the core of the defense.

Lee Forest has a better way of dealing with the Spurs' experienced defense than the Trail Blazers' gifted defense.

................

The clock was fast approaching the night of the game.

ATT Center Arena.

The venue was not full, with just over 20,000 spectators.

At the start of the game, the Spurs fielded a starting lineup that was not much better than the Thunder.

The Spurs' starting five are Tim Duncan, Richard Jefferson, Antonio McDyce, Keith Bogans, George Hill

Once the game started, the Spurs weren't much better than the back-to-back Thunder.

And on the defensive end, Popovich adopted an extremely unsuccessful strategy.

Zhuge Vic opted for a team rotation defense that trusted the team, and did not implement a trap tactic against Li Forest in the early stages of the game.

Thereupon!

Spurs were single-handedly taken out by Lee Forest at ATT Center!!

In the whole game, Li Forest scored 42+6+6 in 15 of 27 shots in the ATT Center Arena, and 0 turnovers, all of which were hard chiseled out of singles, and Li Forest played an efficient 55% shooting rate.

In the whole game, except for Li Forest, the shooting rate of both teams was less than 40%!

The intensity is unimaginable, Li Forest in this fierce collision confrontation, one by one fell into the position of the tough singles to obtain the data, extremely difficult and difficult, the whole game Thunder scored a total of 93 points, Spurs 88 points.

Li Forest faced Finley's defense, Li Forest still forced **, and when Popovich finally chose to deny himself and reacted at the end of the quarter!

Li Linlin couldn't hold it anymore, and Li Linlin directly took away the game.

Li Forest directly killed the Spurs with his personal ability, which caused silence in the ATT center and Popovich was stunned.

The situation that the Spurs are afraid of unreasonable players has been verified again, and tonight's Li Forest is like Kobe, with a terrifying desire to win, an unusually outstanding single ability, and a very persistent and terrifying self-confidence.

Li Forest was very decisive from the beginning of the game, that is, he did it himself, because Li Forest knew that the slightest hesitation to deal with "old fritters" like Spurs would be caught by him, as long as he had strong and almost paranoid self-confidence, he could defeat them.

This is how Kobe Bryant played the Spurs!!

.........................

After the victory over the Spurs, the Thunder have won three of their last four games, three of which are Western Conference playoff-caliber teams.

After returning from injury, Lee Forest completely shocked the United States with 4 consecutive crazy performances of 40+!!!

"Who's going to stop him???"

Los Angeles Sports and the New York Times and other newspapers across the United States directly used this headline for their covers.

The text is annotated: 57 + 47 + 43 + 42 + ???? = Super Scorer!!
