Chapter 148: The Home of Madness
"We've been great on the road, but the Trail Blazers are a very strong team, and of course, it's okay to say they're the best team this season, so even though we've won one away from home in Portland, we can't afford to slack off right now."
"Meng, I hope that in this game, you can play more aggressively on the defensive end, in the last game we were very unsuccessful in defending Steve Smith, so in this game, you defend Steve Smith, I need you to completely suppress Steve Smith, so that we can guarantee the final victory."
In the last game, the Trail Blazers used Rasheed Wallace and Steve Smith to hold down the two points of Sean Elliott and Mario Eli, and beat them wildly, not only almost completely locked the two on the defensive end, but also blew up the two on the offensive end, Steve Smith scored a team-high 31 points for the Trail Blaids, and Rasheed Wallace also had 23 points and 11 rebounds.
On May 27, 2ooo, at 8 o'clock in the evening, the home team locker room at the Alamo Coliseum, this time was less than half an hour before the start of the third game of the Western Conference Finals between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers. Similarly, if the Spurs can rely on the home court advantage and win two percent in a row, then with a 3-1 advantage, the Spurs' road to the finals will be much smoother.
"Tim, this game, you have to play more resolutely and use all your energy. If my guess is correct, the Trail Blazers still won't be able to trap you this game, so go wreak havoc on the Trail Blazers' interior until they wrap you up. ”
"Sean, I need you to run a little more aggressively and try to pull Rashida out, it's not easy for him to keep up with you. And on the defensive end, don't be afraid of physical contact, don't be afraid of fouls, this is our home stadium and the referee's blow will definitely be in our direction. In fact, what Vicky didn't say is that not only the home of the Spurs, even in the home of the Trail Blazers, the referee's whistle is slightly biased towards the Spurs, in the two games in the Moda Center, the referee's blowing penalty scale is very strict, but it is not only for one side, it is strict for both sides, some ordinary games will not blow physical contact, both games will be blown fouls, this seemingly strict whistle, in fact, is extremely beneficial to the Spurs, due to Duncan's huge advantage on the inside, in the second game, Duncan made 17 free throws, more than the entire Trail Blazers. The determination of the league's top management to hack the Trail Blazers is already obvious, if in this case, the Spurs can't eliminate the Trail Blazers, then it can only be said that the Spurs can't support Adou.
Of course, although there is the care of the league, but the iron still needs its own hardness, the key to winning or losing this game is to see the Spurs' own swing, although the Trailblazers team, the players basically all have the ability to average 2o per game, but there is only one basketball, Mike Dunwiley will definitely focus on when formulating tactics, and in the last game, Rasheed Wallace and Steve Smith got the most opportunities, and this game will basically not change, so can you limit the swing of Rasheed Wallace and Steve Smith, It became the most important thing in this game.
In addition to blocking Rasheed Wallace and Steve Smith, the Spurs' offense is also a big problem, relying only on Duncan's inside strong attack, it is not enough to defeat the Trail Blazers, with Duncan as the core of the internal and external combination tactics, the swing of the outside players is also very important, if the outside four iron feel, the same as the last game, then the Spurs should give up resistance as soon as possible.
"Coach, don't worry." After undergoing major surgery this season, Sean Elliott also knows that his career will not be too long, so being able to win another championship before retiring has become Sean Elliott's only dream now, and even when he came back this season, Sean Elliott has vowed in his heart that if the Spurs can win the championship this season, then the time to win the championship is the day he retires.
After arranging the tactics, Vicky still has a dignified face, although it is the home court, but the Spurs do not have the slightest advantage, and the depth of the Trail Blazers' squad is too strong.
"We have only one goal, and that is the championship, so we have to win this game." As the leader of the Spurs locker room, Avery Johnson stepped up at this time to cheer up his teammates in the locker room.
"Victory, victory... When Meng Xu waved his arms and shouted first, the rest of the Spurs also followed Meng Xu and shouted loudly in the locker room.
。。。。。。。
"It's really a crazy home stadium, playing in a stadium like this, listening to the cheers of tens of thousands of fans, I think it's every player's dream." When the Spurs players led by Meng Xu walked out of the players' tunnel, the entire Alamo Stadium erupted in deafening cheers, and the fans at the scene shouted in unison: "net, net... The sound is simply crazy, you must know that as a football stadium, after being temporarily converted into a basketball stadium, the entire Alamo Stadium can accommodate more than 3oooo spectators, which is the home court with the largest attendance of any NBA team, and the home court of the Spurs will be full every game.
When Tim Duncan was the finale of the Spurs, the last to play, the audience passed 3oooo fans and chanted "MVP, MVP, MVP" in unison, this kind of cheers like a tsunami also reminded Magic Johnson again of his time with the Lakers. Although the Spurs do not have the heritage of the Lakers now, the Spurs fans are obviously more fanatical than the arrogant Lakers fans.
Others put it on the shelves.,It's all 1o more 1o more explosive.,But I didn't save the manuscript.,It's still a 1ooo hand hand.,So there's no way.,I'm sorry everyone.。
