"In this game, we can't afford to lose again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info"On May 18th, the sixth game of the Spurs and Lakers series, which will kick off at the Alamo Coliseum in an hour, due to the injury of David Robinson, and the loss of the first two games is too simple, and now most of the Spurs players have lost confidence, and many people now think about going to work, lose this game and go on vacation. Even Popovich, although he doesn't want to admit it, knows in his heart that in this situation, the possibility of the Spurs trying to overtake the Lakers is very slim.

'Yes, we have to win this game.' Duncan, who had been quiet before the game, immediately got up from the seat in front of the locker after Popovich finished speaking.

"We can't let those kids in Los Angeles run rampant on our turf." Immediately following Duncan, Meng Xu also stood up, before this game, Meng Xu used a bottle of magic potion, although he was not sure of winning this game, but at least Meng Xu still had the fighting spirit.

When Popovich saw Meng Xu get up, he was also a little surprised, Duncan needless to say, as the boss and leader of the team, he can't give up at any time. And Meng Xu, as a rookie, is the easiest to collapse under great pressure, but the moment Popovich looked at Meng Xu's eyes, Meng Xu not only showed no signs of collapse, but his eyes were clearly burning with strong fighting spirit.

"yes, we can't let those bastards celebrate on our home turf." Jaren Jackson, who had a very good personal relationship with Meng Xu, also stood up immediately after seeing Meng Xu.

"Yes, we have to win this game." As one of the leaders of the team's locker room, Avery Johnson struck while the iron was hot and called his teammates around.

The Spurs really can't afford to lose this game anymore, and basically no one is trying to advance to the next round in the series so far, but the Spurs are still going to win at home, no matter what, even if they lose, they have to lose with dignity.

When all the Spurs players walked out of the locker room in turn, Popovich also patted Meng Xu on the shoulder, although Popovich did not make special tactical arrangements, but Popovich also knew very well that the performance of the outside players would determine the success or failure of this game, Duncan has done his best, and the rest depends on the performance of the outside four.

"Duncan won O'Neal again." In the entire series between the Spurs and the Lakers, except for jumping with David Robinson, O'Neal never won as long as he met Duncan, although O'Neal's bounce was also excellent, but his huge size obviously limited his bounce speed.

The Spurs' offense still continues the rhythm of the whole season, as slow as it can be, although there is no advantage in playing positional battles with the Lakers, but the Spurs really can't be fast.

When all the Lakers players retreated in place, Avery Johnson also slowly dribbled past the halfcourt, and the first ball of the opening game naturally followed international conventions and was played by the team's boss, so Avery Johnson did not hesitate at all, and directly hoisted the ball to Duncan on the inside, while the other players of the Spurs were all pulled away.

This kind of combination tactics of David Robinson's era, the current Spurs really can't play well, and there is no problem with the combination of inside and outside, but this outside is more difficult, a group of shooters with extremely poor three-point points and very unstable can't be played by anyone. But there is nothing to do, and it is even more difficult to rely on superstar tactics to play three-board axes, so Popovich had to pray off the court that this group of blacksmiths would open their minds early.

Perhaps out of the dignity of their superstar, the Lakers did not wrap up Duncan in this game, but let O'Neal and Duncan one-on-one, because the strength is not as good as O'Neal, so Duncan did not simply go back to O'Neal, and relied on his own mobility and range advantages, after shaking O'Neal several times in a row, he took the lead through a step-back mid-range shot and scored two points for the Spurs.

When it was the Lakers' turn to attack, the first shot may have been a response to Duncan, or perhaps to show his status, in the face of Duncan and Samaki Walker's bag, O'Neal equalized the score for the Lakers with a back-to-back hook.

After the end of the first round, the two teams finally entered the period of regular tactics, Duncan continued to pass the ball in the face of O'Neal on the inside, it is obvious that Duncan is not sure, but Duncan hopes that through this move, the outside players can find their touch as soon as possible, because only in this way, the Spurs have any hope of winning.

As for the Lakers, O'Neal performed extremely easily after scoring the first goal, because in O'Neal's psychology, the Spurs' current state and strength are no longer a threat to the Lakers, so in the first half O'Neal only needs to find a rhythm, and now the Lakers are basically thinking about the opponent of the Western Conference Finals, and the other two teams in the Western Conference Semifinals, the Trail Blazers have defeated the Jazz 4-1 and took the lead in entering the Western Conference Finals.

Through continuous running, Meng Xu once again threw off the fox who defended himself, just a moment Duncan's pass accurately found Meng Xu, after receiving the basketball Meng Xu did not hesitate at all, but with a bang, this shot hit the iron again, after the first ball after the opening of the game, Meng Xu had a hunch that the feeling of this game must not be very good, sure enough, counting the shot just now, in the first half of the entire first quarter, Meng Xu made 0 shots in three shots.

Popovich on the sidelines saw that Meng Xu's shot was missed, and he shook his head in disappointment, this round of the series Meng Xu also started high and went low, the first three games were 20+ in a row, and he also played the first 5*5 data in the history of the playoffs, but in the next two games, the basket seemed to be closed to Meng Xu, no matter how he shot, it seems that in this game, Meng Xu still continued the feel of the previous game.

"Bastard, what's your situation, are you already thinking about fishing now? That's not good, we're all professional players, and we still have to have a minimum work ethic. Seeing Meng Xu, who was in a slump in these games, Kobe Bryant was also very happy, and even talked trash with him.

"Bryant, your trash talk has improved a lot, although you haven't taught me, but I am still very pleased to see your progress." It has never been Meng Xu's style to suffer losses, so Meng Xu also shot back unceremoniously.

"Bastard, you're amazing, I can't talk about you, but it's useless, tomorrow you can pack your things and go to Miami, I hope you have a good trip."
