"Xiao Xu, what are you looking at? Don't rest early yet. At about 10 o'clock in the evening of May 14, 2002, Meng Xu sat alone in the living room, watching the picture being played on the TV.

"Oh, I'm watching the game." After hearing He Hui's voice, Meng Xu responded listlessly, what was being played on the TV at the moment was the Western Conference semifinals, the fifth game of the Spurs vs. the Lakers, the game was over with less than a minute left, 83-91, the away game Spurs were still 8 points behind the Lakers, and at the same time as O'Neal made free throws, Duncan stood on the edge of the paint area with his hands on his waist and expressionlessly.

"Is it a competition for seniors?" With a gurgling sound, He Hui walked down from the upstairs and sat on the sofa next to Meng Xu, probably because he had just taken a bath, He Hui's hair was still a little wet, and at the same time there was a smell of shower gel on his body.

"Thiem is already so strong, but the Spurs still don't have any chances." Looking at Duncan, who had obviously decided the overall situation, but still did not give up, and was still entangled with O'Neal under the basket, Meng Xu shook his head, in this game, Duncan played the whole game, cutting 36 points, 25 rebounds, and 6 blocks, but in the whole game, the Spurs did not lead even once, and they were always chasing closely behind the Lakers. And this game is also a microcosm of this series, in the entire series, Duncan played an average of 30 points per game, 17.5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3.4 blocks of supernatural data, however, the Spurs lost this round of the series with a total score of 1-4, except for the G2 game Kobe Bryant played abnormally, shot 9 of 25 from the field, hit 16 iron, and the Spurs won a victory, the remaining 4 games, the Spurs did not have any chance.

After Meng Xu left, the Spurs' series of operations were still very successful, Tony Parker, who was selected in the first round, although he was still very immature, but he was able to carry the banner of organizing guards, and Bruce Bowen, Austin Crohill, Steve Smith, and Charles Smith who were traded through a series of transactions also performed well, and with the addition of Lafrentz and David Robinson, it was more than enough to deal with most of the teams in the league, but when they met the Lakers, the Spurs would play very hard. The Spurs can't prevent O'Neal, the Lakers can't prevent Duncan, the inside line of the two sides is completely mutually explosive, but the Spurs' outside line has basically nothing to do with Kobe, in this round of the series, even if Kobe's state is worse, he can score 20 points, and on the Spurs' side, the second highest score is Parker, only 13 points, after Parker, it is Bowen and Lafrentz 8 points, at the critical moment of the game, no one in the Spurs can help Duncan. On the opposite side of the Lakers, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant have averaged more than 25 points per game, and Hawley, Fisher, and Fox can all contribute an average of 10+ points per game steadily.

"The Spurs' lineup this year is not very good, there is no strong point on the outside to offset Kobe's advantage, and David is completely out of shape after his comeback this time." Watching the game that had ended on TV, He Hui also said with some regret that like Meng Xu, after staying in San Antonio for two years, He Hui also has feelings for that city and the Spurs team. Especially David Robinson, the former superstar, came back early in this round of the series after being injured in the first round of the playoffs, but his performance was not satisfactory, averaging only 6 points and 7 rebounds per game.

"Xiao Xu, wait a minute, you can call the senior." Looking at the TV camera, when he walked into the player's tunnel, Duncan's lonely figure, He Hui put his hand on Meng Xu's shoulder and said.

"Tim won't answer my calls." Meng Xu shook his head and immediately rejected He Hui's suggestion, at this time, even if Meng Xu called Duncan, with Duncan's character, there was a chance that he would not answer Meng Xu's call, and even if Duncan answered, Meng Xu didn't know what to say to him? How to comfort him, after thinking about it, Meng Xu turned off the TV, got up and prepared to leave. "The game is over, go to sleep, Sister Hui, you should rest early, your dark circles have worsened recently."

"Xiao Xu, don't think about it, it's not your fault." Seeing Meng Xu walking towards the bedroom without looking back, He Hui's heart was lost for a while, and then he seemed to remember something again, and shouted at Meng Xu.

"Sister Hui, don't worry, I'm fine." Looking back at He Hui, Meng Xu struggled to squeeze out a smile. In fact, just now, when the TV broadcast camera on the scene was shown to Duncan who was walking towards the players' tunnel, looking at Duncan's back, at that moment, Meng Xu did have a little regret and self-blame in his heart. Originally, Duncan led a group of rookies, and the old, weak, sick and disabled, to be able to play a record of 56 wins and reach the Western Conference semifinals, which is already a very remarkable achievement, but on the contrary, Meng Xu feels that Duncan's season should not end so early, at the same time, Meng Xu is also thinking that maybe if he is still in the Spurs, this round of the series will be another result.

After the Spurs were eliminated by the Lakers, the other group of opponents in the Western Conference semifinals, through five big games, also decided the winner, the Kings defeated the Mavericks with a score of 4-1, and the two strongest teams in the Western Conference regular season will meet in the finals. The series between the Kings and the Mavericks, the duel between Princeton and Run Bomb, can be said to be pleasing to the eye, and the duel between Nowitzki and Webb is also a sea shatter. This round of the series can definitely be called a feast of statistics, the average points of the two teams are as high as 107 and 112 respectively, in this round of the series, Dirk Nowitzki, Chris Webb, Michael Finley, Mike Bibby four players average more than 20 points per game, and as many as 12 players average more than 10 points per game.

After the schedule of the Western Conference Finals was released, another set of matchups in the Eastern Conference semifinals was still in full swing, after the first 5 games, the Nets and Pistons kept their home court, if the G6 Pistons can still hold their home court, then this round of the series will be the first tie-break in the playoffs this year, perhaps dissatisfied with the results of the regular season MVP selection, Jason Kidd, who has always had a weak desire to attack, in the 7 playoff games after the MVP selection results were announced, He averaged 24.3 points per game, along with 8.7 rebounds and 11.3 assists.

The Pacers are now sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, swept the Knicks in the first round, swept the Celtics in the second round, the Pacers almost did not encounter any decent resistance, and reached the Eastern Conference Finals, and their two opponents, the Nets and the Raptors in the first round of the battle 5 games before the winner was separated, and the Pistons and Magic also played 4 games, so the series of the Nets and Pistons, no matter who can advance, the two teams will undoubtedly be exhausted, so they will face the Pacers, physical strength will be a very big problem.
