Chapter 351: Duncan's Return
Coach Zhang has been very happy lately.
The embassy incident led to an indefinite suspension of the NBA, and the village women's station could only broadcast Knicks games. I thought that he would have no work after the first round of the game was broadcast, but who would have thought that the Knicks would be a dark horse all the way to the finals!
On June 29, the seventh and final stop of the Grand Finals was held at Alamo Arena in San Antonio. Domestically, the live broadcast of this final battle was in charge of Mr. Song and Director Zhang.
"Good morning, and welcome to this year's NBA Finals." Teacher Song said.
"This year's finals are really exciting, the Spurs went down three cities first, and almost everyone thought they were going to sweep the Knicks to win the championship, but they never thought that Duncan was accidentally injured in the fourth game, and then the Knicks took advantage of the situation to win three games in a row and turned the score into a 3:3 draw." ”
Teacher Song said: "In the history of the NBA, there has never been a Black Eight winning championship, and even the Black Eight has reached the Finals for the first time. The 3:0 turnaround in the finals has never happened! ”
Zhang guided: "Needless to say the finals, there has never been a 3:0 comeback in the playoffs. The Knicks have been making history this year, and Coach Lee has been a miracle coach! ”
Teacher Song said: "Players from both sides are on the stage!" ”
At this moment, at the Alamo Arena, the away Knicks took the lead, starting five tigers Charlie Ward, Alan Houston, Kevin Garnett, Bo Outlaw, and Da Yao.
Then the lights dimmed and the home team's players appeared one after another to the cheers of the Holy City fans!
First up were playmaking guard Avery Johnson, then shooting guard Mario Elie, center David Robinson, and small forward Sean Elliott. When the host of the scene announced the last name, the Spurs home court was completely boiling!
Because the last one to appear is Tim Duncan!
NBC announcer Bob Costas, who is broadcasting nationally, said: "Tim Duncan is actually back! ”
Doug Collins said: "He's not recovering from his knee injury at all, so it's very risky to play with an injury!" ”
Bob Costas said: "I think he can't help it, losing Tim Duncan, the Knicks have tied the score at 3:3, and if you lose again, you will have to give up the championship!" ”
Doug Collins said: "Whether the Spurs win or lose this game, we need to cheer for Tim Duncan, who is fighting with an injury, he shows us a tenacious sportsmanship!" “
Midfield jumps, David Robinson wins Da Yao, Avery Johnson advances with the ball!
Duncan receives the ball in the horn position and Bo Outlaw is stuck with him!
Duncan, who had a knee injury, couldn't break through, and he gritted his teeth and forced a shot from Bo Outlaw!
Dabo wants to cover it, but he is too short to cover it, so he can only interfere with it!
But Duncan was undisturbed and stubbornly scored the ball!
Costas said: "2:0, Duncan scored 2 points at the beginning!" ”
Doug Collins said, "It's a call to the Knicks." If you think I have a knee injury and I don't dare to play, then you are wrong, I can still score with an injury and still help the team win! ”
"It's amazing, I hear the home fans cheering Duncan!" ”
Doug Collins said: "The Spurs refused to be overturned 3-0, there has never been a 3-0 comeback in NBA history, they can't be the first person to be this shame!" ”
On the sidelines, Li Wei's brows furrowed slightly.
Duncan's comeback undoubtedly disrupted the Knicks' deployment. However, it is still unknown how much strength he can play with an injury, and the Knicks still have hope of winning this game.
The Spurs don't want to be overturned, so why would the Knicks want to lose? If you can't even deal with an injured Duncan, it will also become a joke, right?
Three minutes after the opening, when Li Wei replaced Da Yao, who had been fighting against the admiral for a long time and was out of breath, Popovich also replaced Duncan. It seems that he also understands that Duncan, who went to war with injuries, should be restricted.
In the following time, the Spurs did not let Duncan play again, but his injury to the game obviously boosted the morale of the whole team, the Spurs played very bloody, and David Robinson even had a dunk with Nestrovich!
You know, the current David Robinson is not the admiral of his youth. Especially after the major injury in 96, his form has inevitably slipped, but today, he seems to have regained his youth!
Elliott also fought fiercely. The doctors have given him an ultimatum that he will have to undergo a kidney replacement this summer, and this match may well be the last game of his career!
He wishes he could retire with a championship ring instead of being the background for the Knicks' Black Eight Miracle!
At the end of the first quarter, the score was 17:26, and the Spurs, playing at home, led by nine points.
Li Wei glanced at the Knicks' players and said coldly: "Why, Duncan scared you when he was injured and went to war?" ”
Garnett said, "We're going to be afraid of him!" ”
Bo Tetro said: "The referee's home whistle blows too much, otherwise we won't be behind!" ”
Charlie Ward said: "The Spurs are also a section of ability, and we will turn the tables around." ”
Li Wei nodded and said: "Duncan's participation in the game with an injury is a great incentive for the Spurs, and their whole team is playing desperately in the first quarter." But let's not be afraid, guard against them, as long as we limit them on the offensive end and stalemate the score, they who have been playing with their lives will not last! ”
Garnett said, "David, I'll go to defend Robinson early today!" ”
"Okay." Li Wei nodded.
Da Yao is still too tender, Nesterovic came too late, the tacit understanding with the rest of the Knicks is not enough, and Da Ben and Da Bo are too short. Relatively speaking, Garnett is indeed the most capable of limiting David Robinson on the team.
However, Garnett defended David Robinson, and his height and weight were at a loss, and the consumption was very large, and Li Wei did not dare to use it as a conventional weapon. Now in the finals, the battle of life and death can only let him go shopping!
"You rest for a while, and when you play, go and defend him!"
At the beginning of the second quarter, Garnett rested, Nowitzki came on, Dabo switched to small forward, and Houston was also rested and Stephen Jackson played.
Stephen Jackson, a sophomore, is usually not very bright, but he has played an unprecedented touch in the last three games, and Li Wei naturally wants to give him more playing time.
As soon as he got on the court, Stephen Jackson threw a three-pointer!
Swish! Entered!
At 20:26, the difference became 6 points!
Bob Costas said: "Stephen Jackson's two games are really convulsive! ”
Doug Collins said: "I always have a feeling that he is the big boss of the Knicks now, and you see that in the third game, he came off the bench alone, scored 28 points, and pulled the Knicks back from the edge of the cliff!" ”
Costas said: "If you think the Knicks win the championship, who is the Finals MVP?" ”
Doug Collins said: "It's really hard to say, Houston has been a bad hand in the series, and Garnett has rarely taken shots, and is only the third on the team in points per game. ”
"Garnett is focused on the defensive end, and what he means to the Knicks is not something the numbers can tell," Costas said. But I think Stephen Jackson deserves the MVP, and he's just too good for the Knicks to win three in a row. ”
As soon as Costas's words fell, Stephen Jackson got a pass from Nash and scored another 2 points!
