Chapter 36: The San Antonio Spurs

[In order to make up for everyone's wounded hearts, I have uploaded all the manuscripts from the previous period]

If the 9O years of the 2O century were Jordan's era, then in the first decade of the post-Jordan era, the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs dominated the entire NBA.

In the 1996-1997 season, the Spurs won just 2o games due to the injury of Admiral Robinson and missed the playoffs for the second time since the 1988-89 season, but they got a fortune in the 1997 draft pick, and the top pick fell to the Spurs, who brought them Tim Duncan, a star potential, to get their first piece of the NBA puzzle. In the 1998-99 season, the league faced a shutdown crisis due to labor disputes, and the regular season was reduced to 5o games. Title-hungry Spurs overcame a slow start and lost just five of their final 36 games. After entering the playoffs, they have a 15-2 record. In the Finals, they defeated the New York Knicks 4-1 to claim their first championship in franchise history. Duncan averaged 27.4 points, 14 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game in the Finals and was voted MVP of the Finals.

The Spurs continued to be a strong contender for the NBA championship over the next two seasons, but unfortunately they came up against a thriving OK combination, and each time they were in the dark. This year, they sent the backcourt big man "Little General" Johnson to the Nuggets, Samaki Walker to the Lakers, and the backcourt core Derrick Anderson and the god pitcher Kerr to the Trail Blazers, everyone thought they were crazy, thinking they were the biggest losers in the transfer market this summer, but on the contrary, they got the best defensive expert on the outside, Bruce Bowen, and the No. 28 pick in the draft to get the future French luxury sports car Tony Parker, With the addition of Ginobili, who has not been reported, the Spurs have completed the final piece of the puzzle for the next decade in the NBA this year. Since the beginning of this season, they have the quality to win a qiฤ“.

At 8:3o, the game begins at Alamo Arena in San Antonio, Texas.

Head coach Doug Collins informed me before the game that I wouldn't be let go and that I needed to wait on the bench for my chance. With Christian Leitner unable to play due to a sprained ankle, last season's center Gianhedy White and rookie Brandon Haywood formed a twin tower against the Spurs' All-Star lineup: Tim Duncan and David Robinson.

The Wizards' small forward is still Michael Jordan, scoring guard Richard Hamilton, and point guard is Tyrone Lue.

Spurs: Center David Robinson, power forward Tim Duncan. Small forward Bruce Bowen, shooting guard Steve Smith, point guard Tony Parker.

Tony Parker has completely replaced Antonio Daniels because of his excellent appearance, this is my classmate, he may not be the best, but he is definitely one of them. Although the AT&T was not very attendant, you could still hear people cheering for Tony Parker.

The Spurs still play a two-tower strategy, with Tony Parker dribbling the ball to the front court and handing it over to two All-Star interior players to solve the problem. All teams know that the Spurs are going to play inside, but no one can stop them, not even O'Neal, who claims to be the greatest center the NBA has ever seen.

David Robinson got the ball, shook it slightly, Brandon Haywood jumped, David Robinson hooked the ball and the ball went in. Although Brandon Heywood is also 213 cm tall and weighs more than 2oo pounds, he is too different from the famous David Robinson in terms of strength and technology.

The Wizards ball, Tyrone Lue dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Jordan took the ball, there was no way, the scoring ability of Brandon Haywood and Janherdy White on the inside was negligible, and Old Man Joe didn't take the ball, so he had to give the ball to Richard Hamilton.

Bruce Bowen doesn't have the fame of later generations, but his defense is definitely a god. Bruce Bowen singles out Michael Jordan.

Michael Jordan had an interesting contempt in his eyes, yes! It's contempt! Because he has every reason to look down on Bruce Bowen, who was cut by the Heat last season, and his lifetime scoring may not keep up with Jordan's scoring in a year. But Bruce Bowen's eyes were steadfast.

Jordan moved, his body shaking dramatically, a line shift, trying to shake Bruce Bowen. Steve Smith suddenly made a grab, forming a flank with Bruce Bowen. Jordan didn't have a chance, a crotch dribble, handed to Tyrone Lu, who took advantage of the gap after Steve Smith's pinch to go straight to the inside, facing the Spurs' luxury interior line to jump high and shoot.

"Smack!"

Stone Buddha Duncan used a sturdy hat to tell Sรน Tyrone Lue that this chassis was his.

Tony Parker received the ball and raced, with only Richard Hamilton chasing after him, but it was clear that the distance between the two of them was getting wider.

4:o๏ผŒ

The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.

Jordan controlled the ball, raised his hand to signal to press the rhythm, and after entering the positional battle, he had to run up and play cooperatively.

In the world of interior players, the Spurs have a luxurious interior lineup, and there are too many advantages in the face of the Washington Wizards' garbage interior owners. Although Jordan continued to break through from the outside, and Richard Hamilton, the masked man, kept shooting from the outside, the score continued to increase.

Backbite......

Tim Duncan hit another rebound and drew a foul on Janherdy White's beater. The score has become 25:13, and the Wizards are already trailing by 12 points.

While the combination of David Robinson and Tim Duncan is an unsolvable proposition for any team, Doug Collins really can't afford to have his basket in the Spurs' backyard.

Old Jordan was panting, holding a towel and constantly wiping his sweat.

"White is too much of a loss in terms of height, Kwamay, you replace White in a moment, you play power forward, defend Tim Duncan. Also, be careful to come out and do a pick-and-roll for Michael. Do you understand? โ€

"Hamilton, you have to pay attention to your position, you have to run out of space, that old guy Smith is old, he will not be able to keep up with you soon, throw the ball when you have the chance, don't hesitate."

"Brandon, you have to be in the position of the inside, you must pay attention to your position, don't be shaken off by Robinson, he is old, he has no strength to compete with you. Don't eat his steps. Stand under the basket, don't be afraid, don't try to block, you're standing under the basket. Doug Collins is clearly complaining about Brandon Haywood's defense.

The referee signaled that the timeout had arrived.

I moved my wrists and ankles and walked onto the basketball court.

Elvin Hayes and Kevin Young chatted peacefully in the commentary box.

"Obviously, the Spurs have too much advantage on the inside, and Janherdy White and Brandon Haywood don't have the slightest advantage over David Robinson and Tim Duncan in terms of skill, power, or experience. Defensively, they simply couldn't contain David and Thiem's offense, and offensively they clearly couldn't help the team more, as the two of them were almost zero threat as long as they were pushed off the paint. The Wizards can only rely on the jump shots of Jordan and Richard on the outside, and the offensive means are too simple, once the hand feels cold, the score will instantly widen, and the Wizards' game is dangerous. โ€

"At the timeout, Collins may bring on Kwame Brown, who should be able to help the team a little bit." Kevin Young said.

"Kwame defends well, but his offense is really not flattering. The Wizards are now dealing with the offense, and if they can't put the basketball in the opponent's basket, they will definitely lose. โ€

In fact, the Wizards' interior has not been able to provide much help to the team on offense, and when Christian Leitner was there, there were not too many disadvantages, and now that Christian is injured and out of action, this disadvantage is immediately infinitely magnified. The opponent is now putting your outside line, let you shoot the outside, and throw the ball on the outside to shoot without death, as long as your hand drops, the score will be quickly pulled away. This was a problem that Corinth had to solve. โ€

"If this problem can't be solved, the Wizards' entry into the playoffs is also a soy sauce fate, there is no guarantee of the inside, just hope not to be swept out." "It's not that exaggerated, the inside combination of Kwame Brown and Christian Leitner is still somewhat competitive, and I like them."

"If Christian doesn't get hurt, it's fine, but I'm afraid he's getting hurt, and he's starting to get more and more injuries in recent years, and as for Kwame Brown, if he uses his boxing talent on the basketball court, you have to pray that the Wizards won't be suspended en masse."

"The game is on, and the Wizards have replaced Kwame Brown!"

"It's useless to replace Kwame Brown, he doesn't have an attack in his arsenal!"

I walked onto the court amid the suspicion of the Wizards' on-field commentators, and I was confronted by the unchanging poker face of the "Stone Buddha," the greatest power forward in NBA history.
