Chapter 91: Just the Beginning

On May 29, the Wizards finished a short break, and after today's practice, the Wizards are about to enter the Finals against the Western Conference champion Spurs.

"I want you to know that this is just the beginning. Don't be afraid of the enemy, don't slack off in the game, we will be legendary! ”

On this morning, head coach Doug Collins, general manager Wes Unseld, and even big boss Abel Pollin all came to the pitch with the help of his youngest daughter, Pell Bolling, to give a heartfelt speech.

But the only thing that everyone remembers is Hu Qingniu's sentence above.

No fear, no slackness, will eventually be legendary!

When the Spurs' Popovich and GDP trio arrived in Washington, Hu Qingniu, as a landowner, gave them a warm welcome.

In addition to having dinner with them, Hu Qingniu also invited Pei'er to go with him, just fulfilling his promise and not having to be grinded anymore.

As for eating with the other four big men, whether it was Pei'er's imaginary dinner, Hu Qingniu didn't care about that.

"Doctor, a few months ago, I was just bullish on you." Wearing a miserable white crewneck sweatshirt, the old man Popovich muttered while munching on a piece of chicken leg, "I didn't expect us to come here today to challenge you." ”

Such ungentlemanly behavior, Pei'er on the side was stunned, Hu Qingniu was okay, he had long known that this old man was not informal.

As his disciple, of course, GDP did the same, and Duncan also wore his classic extra-long plaid shirt, and he didn't speak until he ate, and buried his head in front of the plate, and his whole face was about to be buried in the food.

At this time, Ginobili, who was still long-haired and handsome, was even more exaggerated, and after he put his hand under the table and did something indescribable, he continued to pick up a piece of chicken and stuff it into his mouth with peace of mind, and after eating it, he showed his white teeth to everyone.

This speaks volumes about what it means to be unseemly, and Manu was born like an artist, both on the court and in life.

What is catching bats with bare hands at home, catching snakes in the locker room, and kicking LeBron's new generation of Nike boots on his feet in front of the national live broadcast, but it's a pity that James has just publicized a wave, and he hasn't paid much attention to Manu.

Hu Qingniu and Pei'er looked at them dumbfounded.

At present, only the small sports car Parker still seems to be a normal person, eating the food in front of him slowly and methodically, probably due to the fact that he was born in romantic France, and gentlemanly demeanor is a necessary attitude to life.

Salute first, then soldiers, and the next day should be a showdown with the Spurs.

Showdown with Popovich, this is also the game that Hu Qingniu wants the most.

There is one person who is the leader in your heart and the strongest person in your heart in this field. The brave should not be afraid to challenge him, and only the cowardly will be afraid to retreat.

Hu Qingniu thought that he would have to take a full game of abuse of Bobo's old man first, and the new team next season should create a team culture like the Spurs from the beginning, and strive to stand on this highest stage to challenge Popovich in the future.

You know, the Spurs of the future are evergreens in the league. There are about four more opportunities to consult with Popovich in the future.

The Spurs are the ones that Hu Qingniu spends the most time studying, and it's fair to say that the Mavericks and Lakers together don't have as much research as a tenth of the Spurs.

Hu Qingniu was determined early on that if the Wizards broke into the playoffs, the opponent must be the Spurs, this is Duncan's peak year, and no one can stop him, except for the unexpected appearance of the Wizards.

In the Finals support survey, what should have been the expected one-sided situation ended up being 64 open, 6 for the Wizards, and 4 for the Spurs.

According to common sense, there are really few Spurs fans at this time, and it would be good to have 91 in comparison, and the current situation is probably mixed in with a lot of fans who don't look curious.

Americans worship heroes, and they love heroes who turn things around in times of crisis, and that's what makes Hollywood blockbusters. A smooth sailing plot will not attract the interest of the audience, and it is always necessary to have ups and downs, twists and turns, and eighteen bends in the mountain road, so that the lonely hero can save the world in order to make the officials enthusiastic and drunk.

Just like the Big Three Heat and the Galaxy Warriors many years later, they have a lot of fans and even more opponents.

There are people who are disgusted, there are people who are red-eyed, and there are sympathizers who simply support the weaker side.

The fans and media outside also refused to give up an inch of land for the battle of words, and set off a war of words.

But Hu Qingniu only cares about how to curb Duncan's play.

In this season's Spurs, their technical and tactical run-in deepened step by step with the development of the season, until a good system was formed. Young Parker and Ginobili have made leaps and bounds in the playoffs and become more mature.

A good addition to the perimeter, Stephen Jackson will effectively support the Spurs' three-dimensional offense from the perimeter. And team leader Duncan has reached a new peak of leadership and physical condition after three rounds of tough playoff battles.

Suffice it to say, the Spurs are now in their strongest period.

As the current Spurs, in addition to the individual abilities of their players themselves, their distinctive technical and tactical style, flexible and diverse, fast and effective characteristics alone have thrown off the opponents the Wizards have met in front of me I don't know how many streets.

It's going to be a great tactical offensive and defensive series, and the key point is, who can contain Duncan and who can finish Jordan?

What is the weakness of the Spurs, when Hu Qingniu took the trouble to watch the game footage of the Spurs' defeat over and over again, he finally summed up a not very obvious answer.

The first is the legend and soul of the Spurs, "Admiral" David Robinson.

No matter how exciting a superplayer you have been, you're going to get old and you're going to be able to survive in the NBA.

Unless, your coach is Hu Qingniu.

Robinson couldn't get back into his youth, so he slipped and it was severe.

Let's take a look at his performance in these rounds of the playoffs, in the first round against the Rockets who lacked Yao Ming, the Spurs swept 4:0 to advance, and the data of this round seemed to be passable.

In the second round of confrontation, the confrontation escalated, and in the face of O'Neal, the Admiral only handed over the embarrassing data of 5.8 points and 5.7 boards. O'Neal is too strong, we don't treat O'Neal as a man, he's a shark, so don't think about this series.

Looking at the next round, the Western Conference Finals against the Mavericks, the Cowboys' center player Reeve LaFrentz, an NBA bigwig with no name. The Admiral's performance was still a disastrous 5.3 points and 5 rebounds, which is not what a starting center should be.
