Although San Antonio is the second largest city in Texas and the seventh largest in the United States, it has a population of just over a million, so it's not a bad idea to say it's a small city. San Antonio was originally inhabited by American Indians. In 1691, Spanish explorers and missionaries came to settle here. In the mid-18th century, Texas developed into the largest Spanish settlement. In the mid-19th century, a series of battles broke out between the Texan and Mexican armies, including the Battle of the Alamo, in which the Texan army was defeated. In 1845, the Mexican-American War broke out and the United States annexed Texas. After the American Civil War, the area became a famous livestock trading center and border city in the United States. The historical and cultural heritage determines the aggressive and fierce character of the people of the Holy City, but this character is not exposed.

The torrential rain in the holy city in the past two days did not have much impact on the game, on the contrary, the enthusiasm of the fans was unstoppable by the torrential rain.

Finals Game 1, atamp; The opening ceremony of the T Arena was as low-key and unobtrusive as the Spurs' style. When the Spurs introduced the players, there was no work, as always, as in the regular season, a simple introduction, a simple entry.

Spurs starters: Parker, Green, Kawhi Leonard, Duncan and Split;

Bulls starters: Hinrich, Sun Xiaotian, Butler, Gibson and Noah.

To be honest, the Bulls worked hard to get the Heat in seven big games, and then watched the Spurs sweep the Grizzlies cleanly in four games, just waiting for the winner of the Bulls and Spurs has been waiting for more than a week, resting enough, and the physical strength is also full of blood, and the Bulls are only 3 days off before going to the battlefield again.

However, continuous combat is not without benefits, at least the team members are always in combat mode in terms of status, and there is no need to worry about finding a feel.

However, on paper, the strength of the Bulls is not as good as that of the Spurs, and now it has taken 7 games to successfully break through, no wonder Sun Xiaotian is not sure that his team can win, and sometimes he is worried that his team will be beaten too ugly-

"Welcome to watch the first game of the 2012~2013 season of the Finals of the American Professional Basketball Season, this game is the San Antonio Spurs home game against the Chicago Bulls, the warm-up between the two sides has ended, the players have been off the court to prepare, the game is about to start!" Buckley said with a smile on his face. I've never seen him report me so seriously.

Subsequently, the four kings commented on both sides of the finals.

"I don't think the Bulls have a good time, look at the Spurs' record all the way down! This year, the Memphis Bulls are absolutely strong, but the Spurs actually swallowed them alive like a play. Kenny Smith said.

"Yes! I was surprised by the Bulls' win over Janeway's Heat, the Bulls didn't have a championship phase, but they did eliminate the defending champions, and I think the Spurs can win, but they won't be too comfortable because Sun is too diao, and he's the problem that Popovich has to solve. "Barkley isn't bullish on the Bulls either.

"I don't care who wins the championship, I only care about one person, and that's Sun, he's the kind of player I like, he's the kind of player I like, he's scrappy, he's responsible, like a black mamba-style style, I like him. The kind of game I want to see is the kind of game where it's exciting to think about it when you pick up a team alone. "O'Neal's focus is different from theirs.

"Shaq! Man! The Spurs have Leonard, the strongest defender, and Green, a good defender, do you think Sun has a chance? I don't think so! Barkley started spraying O'Neal.

Barkley is talking about exactly what Thibodeau is worried about, the Spurs have two top-notch defenders on guard, compared to the Heat's Jenway, who are also excellent defenders. However, unlike Jenway, Leonard and Green are not the team's offensive and tactical core. They can spare no money, and they can spare their energy to keep an eye on Sun Xiaotian. Therefore, Sun Xiaotian will face more pressure next than against the Heat.

When several people were chatting hotly, the players began to play, Sun Xiaotian stood on the edge of the field, rubbing the ground with his feet, Sun Xiaotian suddenly heard a group of people shouting, and it was in Chinese, "Sun Xiaotian, you are the best!" ”

Sun Xiaotian followed the sound and searched for it, only to see that there was a handful of people holding signs and shouting from the back of the away team's bench, it was Chinese, and they were wearing their No. 35 Bulls jersey. Despite the fact that tamper; The T arena is full of Spurs fans dressed in silver and white all over the city, but with such a handful of people, the fans wearing bright red Bulls jerseys are particularly eye-catching.

Sun Xiaotian nodded at them, turned around casually and went on the field heroically.

"It's also a blessing to be able to hear the shouts of our fans away from home!"

Barkley then switched back into pretending mode, "I don't agree with Kenny, I like the boos of the away fans more than I hear them cheering on away from home, it gets my adrenaline pumping and I love that feeling. ”

O'Neill then gave Barkley a middle finger.

……

The exciting game is about to begin, and the starters of both sides have stepped onto the field one after another! After a brief friendly meeting, the referee walked to the center circle and only blew the whistle after a single pass.

The midfield jumps the ball, and the Spurs get the first wave of offensive possession. Parker holds the ball from the outside, Duncan steps forward to cover, and the rest of the Spurs players are making dazzling interspersed runs, but not blindly.

Parker turned around and dunked the ball to Duncan, and Gibson stepped forward to prevent him from shooting. At this point, Leonard came out, Duncan handed it to him, and made a cover on the situation, and Leonard broke into the box with the cover.

But he didn't stick to the ball too much, and waved his big hand to Green on the bottom line, Green made a shooting feint, Sun Xiaotian didn't dare to slack off, and felt in front of him as quickly as possible. Green then closed up and handed it to Duncan, who was in the low post after covering for Leonard.

Duncan holds the ball and turns to face the frame. Defending him was Noah, who had already switched positions, and Noah put his big hand in front of Duncan to prevent him from shooting.

You must know that Duncan's nirvana when he first entered the league was a diagonal side-to-side board that others disdained. Although I don't use it very often now, the stunt is still there.

Duncan made a few tentative steps and made a shooting pose, and Noah was already nervous, and Duncan gave him this hand, and he instinctively jumped up.

Duncan then relented, dribbling past Noah and heading towards the basket.

Butler on the other side was about to come over to make up for the defense as soon as he saw that the momentum was wrong, but the aging Duncan bought the footwork like a classic car and directly split the buckle with one hand!!

Chop!! It's a split buckle!!

The scene exploded all at once!! (To be continued.) )
