Dio is a romantic man, otherwise he would not have waved his body into a ball, you must know that when he first arrived with the Suns, he was called a skinny center like the wind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
"I easily beat the Lakers back then, and I can still beat them easily!" Dior is full of confidence.
With Dior's understanding of Kobe, it is too normal for Kobe to have discord with his teammates, which is why the media firmly believe that this news will be popular!
In Dior's opinion, the Lakers are finished, and as for Popovich's reminder, he feels that he is too worried, that guy is Kobe! A guy who can have a conflict with O'Neal, Malone, and Payton.
On the other side, Kobe and Liu Ren stood together, but they didn't have any expression, as if they didn't want to look at each other, but in fact, the two of them were thinking in fragments, but they couldn't see it from a distance.
"Great God, are you sure you want to take turns to play singles? They're spurs! Liu Ren asked while pretending to look at the ceiling.
"There's only one way to beat them, and I know them too well! Only with stronger singles to shred their defense! Kobe Bryant whispered through gritted braces.
The Lakers are always so weird, they dare to do something surprising at any time, and what team will have infighting when they go smoothly to the Western Conference Finals? Even if there is real infighting, it will be suppressed because of winning, right? Just like O'Neal and Kobe Bryant back then, the contradiction between the two was almost irreconcilable, and the Zen master still let them work hard together willingly to win three consecutive championships.
So D'Antoni was compared with the Zen master again, and D'Antoni was unlucky, he was just swept in the first round with the Big Four last season, and this year the Zen master next door took the Knicks who turned into a puddle of mud to the Eastern Conference finals.
San Antonio is a multi-racial place, with a strong exotic atmosphere, except for the stadium that makes Liu Ren, a Chinese who complains unlucky, other aspects are really very distinctive.
Pre-game entertainmentA group of beautiful girls of all colors came to dance, and all kinds of colorful colors were really good.
Finally, the pre-game activities and preparations are over, and the Western Conference Finals are about to begin!
Lakers starters!
Nash, Kobe, Liu Ren, Gasol, Green, the combination of three old superstars and two potential new stars has become the new symbol of the Lakers!
The Spurs started with the Troika still leading the team, with Leonard and Dior partnering up front.
Before jumping the ball, Nash, as the team's ball handler, went to high-five the visiting team players to show friendship, Ginobili, Parker, Leonard, and Duncan all high-fived him friendly, but when it came to Dio, Dio reached out and touched Nash's hand with a disdainful face.
When he was with the Suns, Dio played the first peak of his career, but he was so unprofessional that he often made himself worse than Eddie Curry in the summer, as can be seen from his current ball-like size.
The result of not training well in the summer and getting worse is that the regular season has not been played, Dio can't play in the playoffs, and he has repeatedly played diving in the playoffs.
That is, Popovich is good at using people, and he can even use a ball, which is why Popovich's offensive coaching ability may not be much better than D'Antoni, but it is more powerful.
Dio's attitude towards Nash made the players on the Lakers' side angry, especially Gasol, who was already unhappy with Dior, and now he is even more annoyed.
Jump Ball!
Gasol jumped the ball with anger, he and Dio were old rivals when they were playing in the national team, and they didn't like each other, but now they look at each other even more unpleasantly!
Gasol exploded with all his might, winning the jump ball over Duncan's head, then gave Dior a contemptuous look and ran to the frontcourt.
Duncan didn't react after losing the jump ball.
Dio was furious in his heart, he felt a kind of humiliation! Gasol is despising him with his eyes!
Dio took the initiative to defend Gasol!
Originally, it was agreed that Liu Ren would play singles first, but seeing Gasol and Dior in the right side of the free throw line, Gasol asked very actively, and Liu Ren immediately passed over, and he trusted Gasol's old and strong state!
Very easily, Dio's round body was easily cut to the basket by Gasol, and he stood directly on the edge of the reasonable collision zone and asked Liu Ren for the ball.
Liu Renma uploaded the past, Dior's defense is notoriously weak, after all, it is under D'Antoni, with such a huge advantage, it is really a fool not to take advantage of it.
Gasol received the ball and cut directly to a reasonable collision to a one-handed violent dunk!
Duncan was dragged out by Green and could only watch Gasol ravage Dio.
Moreover, when Gasol dunked, Diolau gave Gasol a hand, but instead of helping, he also fouled!
The referee's whistle blows, 2+1!
“FUXK.” Dio scolded angrily in his heart, he jumped up hard, but he couldn't even interfere with Gasol, and slapped Gasol's forearm, but Gasol still violently dunked the ball into the basket!
Gasol's rare hardness! There was a loud boo from the crowd, and the fans in the smaller cities were very loyal, they didn't like to see their players abused!
Dio hates this kind of inside line that is taller than him and more flexible than him, especially the opponents of the national team, which makes him more unhappy.
Gasolga hit a free throw, 3-0, and the Lakers scored first.
The Spurs attacked, and sure enough, as Kobe, Gasol, and Nash expected before the game, Dio didn't get inside, and they were all about to stand outside the three-point line.
In addition to Dio, Spurs' starting power forward Duncan also stands in the middle distance, Duncan can still gain a foothold in the league at this time, needless to say on the defensive end, the offensive end relies on a precise mid-range,
Dio asked for the ball as soon as Parker advanced to the front court, and Gasol was just one, and he wanted to save face.
Last year, he missed the championship in the finals, and this year's playoffs team did not do their best to reach the Western Conference finals, in which Dior's play was indispensable, and the data of 12 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists per game in 11 games in the playoffs this season is very versatile, so he is now very confident, and he feels that he is much better than Aldridge and Randolph, and he is ready to be hard steel with Gasol!
Seeing that Gasol didn't come out on the inside and didn't put himself in his eyes at all, Dio was very angry and shot directly at three points.
Gasol turned to face the rebound after Dio's shot, with one hand, his huge body blocked Ginobili and Leonard, the Spurs except for Duncan are the two who have the most rebounds, the Spurs' rebounds can only be regarded as average in the league, and Dior's three-point offensive rebounds are basically none.
But today Dior felt very good, and the ball hit hollow. 3-3 draw.
"Hey, stupid big guy, see, it's three points! Can you do it? "When the offense and defense were switching, Dio was spitting while running close to Gasol.
Gasol didn't speak, his expression was serious, he didn't want to fight with Dior verbally, his personality determined that he was not a troll, not good at trash talk.
Although Gasol looked down on Dior, he was not an arrogant person.
Dio can have such an excellent performance in the face of Aldridge and Randolph, naturally he has quite good strength, he just wanted to test how Dio feels, if Dio shoots outside the three-point line, the Lakers will have a lot of trouble on the defensive end.
The Lakers continued to attack, and the Lakers' style of play was simple, hand it over to Gasol.
Dio saw that Gasol was going to play hard, he was also a little cowardly, he was arrogant and arrogant, and he still knew the shortcomings of his poor defense.
Dio immediately sought to wrap up, and Leonard saw that Dio was beaten by Gasol and hurried over to help.
