On June 5, 2006, the SBC Center Arena was packed with fans.

It was the start of the NBA Finals, which were between the San Antonio Spurs and the Toronto Raptors.

At this time, it was already past 7:40 p.m., and the countdown to the start of the game had begun.

Spurs fans were uniformly dressed in T-shirts emblazoned with the team's logo, and they were chatting excitedly about today's upcoming game.

In today's NBA, everyone knows that the Spurs have a group of most loyal fans, and this is the hardest part of playing away games with the Spurs.

At this time, the attention of the fans is all on the players on the side of the field, where there is a young man they pay the most attention to.

Wu Di felt that he was in better shape today than ever, and while he was looking forward to the game, he was slightly excited in his heart.

The Spurs' home stadium is still the same in the eyes of Wu Di, and the pressure is still the same when stepping into the field.

"Without decades of accumulation, how can a stadium have such a heritage?"

Wu Di couldn't help but feel that he had always felt that the Spurs' home background was enough to rank above the Chicago Bulls, and behind Staples and Boston Garden Arena.

Playing at such a home court, Wu Di is really difficult to despise.

Moreover, not to mention the nature of this game is a grand finale of global attention, and he certainly can't take it lightly.

Seeing a group of teammates walking and talking excitedly on the side, Wu Di couldn't help but laugh and said, "Hey, guys." I think we should be prepared for a bloody 48-minute battle, the other side is a dangerous person. Be cautious. ”

Delong and others heard this. All are elated responses. Obviously, this kind of game is enough to excite them.

Wu Di nodded with satisfaction and said: "We only need to win 4 games, today is the first game, and when the task is completed, I will take everyone to relax." ”

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, obviously. It's something that only men understand between them.

After chatting with his teammates from time to time, Wu Di was standing on the sidelines, and his attention was actually on the Spurs on the other end.

looked at Popovich, and then looked at the energetic GDP trio, Wu Di couldn't help but be solemn in his heart.

Although it was only 10 minutes before the start of the game, Wu Di felt how long the wait was.

But after this ordeal, the game is finally about to begin.

Amid a burst of passionate shouts from the DJ on the spot, the starters from both sides began to take the field.

At this time, the bald referee Crawford also walked to the referee's bench with two partners.

Wu Di came to the center circle position, and the courtesy hug between the players was of course indispensable.

Duncan is still a goofy old man. Parker and Ginobili have now grown into the core players of the Spurs, except for these three. Bowen Sr. is still occupying the starting spot of the Spurs, and people can't help but hope that this old guy will retire soon.

In addition to these four, the other starter is the magical Horry who only scores goals at crucial moments.

After seeing the starting lineup of the Spurs, Wu Di didn't think much about it, just waiting for the game to start.

From Wu Di's point of view, he felt that playing with the Spurs was very dull, just like the meeting just now, no one said anything to anyone, and after hugging, he waited to jump the ball.

However, Crawford did not come, and the jump ball naturally could not be carried out.

After about a minute, Crawford, who had finished communicating with his two partners, trotted all the way to the center circle with the ball in his arms.

At this time, in the live broadcast seat of TNT, it was Barkley, Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith, who was invited.

Obviously, after seeing such a commentary lineup, everyone will think that the live broadcast team will also enhance the lineup with different games.

Smith has been famous since Wu Di's rookie season, and when the live camera turned to his side, Smith was saying, "The Spurs' lineup today is a little different from the past." Popovich put Brent Barry on the bench and Ginobili put him in the starting line-up. ”

Barkley laughed: "Brent is old after all, and Popovich can't have put him in front of a group of young and strong lads at the beginning of the game. Clearly, Ginobili was the better choice. ”

Miller nodded in approval.

Although the three of them were chatting, their attention was still on the game.

"Jump ball, the Raptors sent Daco Mirisic, the Spurs sent Tim Duncan...... Duncan was a step ahead and the Spurs got the ball. ”

As such words fell, everyone was also shocked.

The atmosphere in the SBC Center was very hot at this time, and the fans cheered in unison as Parker dribbled forward.

Wu Di saw the fans standing around him, and he understood that it was a habit for the home team, and they would only sit down and watch the game if the home team scored their first goal.

Opposite Parker is DeLong, and the little fat man is already very easy to deal with the game after a season of training.

And this season, he's second on the rookie list, behind Chris Paul. This shows his strength.

Against Parker, DeLong's strength lies in his strong body and nimble footwork.

The first meeting between the two men, Parker made a tentative breakthrough and, after the defeat, no longer obsessed with individual attacks, but gave the ball to Ginobili running from one side.

Ginobili was relatively relaxed at this time, because he didn't need to face Wu Di.

After receiving the ball, Ginobili made two quick dribbles, and then made a pick-up pass to Duncan.

Duncan received the ball, dribbled inside, and hooked up to Milicic's defense.

The basketball was caught, and the fans immediately burst into applause.

Such a scene certainly fell into the eyes of Wu Di, and in his opinion, Duncan seemed to be an even more tricky player than O'Neal, with many offensive tools and extremely skillful.

And considering the integrity of the Spurs team, Wu Di also knows that this game is really not so easy.

Duncan's ease of beating Milicic makes people worry about whether the Spurs will easily get the Raptors. After all, the gap between the two teams is really not small.

However, as the game continues, everyone doesn't have time to think about it.

Deron dribbled quickly and crossed the halfway line in the blink of an eye.

The basketball rotated in the hands of the Raptors' five players on the court, and in the process, every touch of the ball by Wu Di triggered the expansion of the Spurs' defense.

"See? The Spurs' defense is completely tailor-made for Woody. As soon as he touched the ball, the Spurs' defense seemed to be tight on the outside, but it was actually dangerous on the inside. ”

"Well, that's true, obviously Popovich is not giving Wu Di any chance to make an easy shot."

Of course, Wu Di can find that the opponent's defense is completely aimed at him, but he is not in a hurry to attack, because he still wants to observe the opponent's defensive strategy.

When DeLong dribbled inside, Wu Di strode to the left three-point line, and Delong's pass really came at this time.

However, Ginobili and Bowen formed a flank attack at this time, which made Wu Di feel threatening in an instant.

However, Wu Di did not panic at all, only to see his backhand shake, and the basketball flew to Danny Granger, who had vacated the position.

Granger was also named to the All-Star team this season, and his quality is unquestionable.

But Granger is the type of player who is slow to feel the game, so you can't expect him to score the first shot.

The basketball slammed into the front of the basket and bounced high.

Seeing this, Wu Di also wanted to rush up to grab the rebound at the first time.

But he was blocked by Bowen with his ass.

The rebound was taken by Duncan, and then Parker could be seen running fast like a sports car.

Delon was no less fast than Parker, and in the blink of an eye, he was able to block Parker's path.

However, after the Spurs' fast break missed, Parker waited unhurriedly for the players to get in place.

The basketball was picked up by Duncan again, and the shouts of the fans immediately rang out.

It has to be said that Milicic's defense was not so threatening to Duncan, and in this one shot, Duncan ended the attack with a smearing goal.

After Duncan scored two goals in a row, his expression did not change at all.

Wu Di took a look at the situation on the court and knew that the Raptors were weaker than their opponents in terms of momentum.

Then, it was the Raptors' turn to attack, and Deron forced Parker to win, but the layup was taken by Duncan.

And soon, on the Spurs' side, Parker dribbled and made a long pass to Ginobili, and the demon knife shot directly into the three-point shot.

The basketball went through the net cleanly, and the score was 7:0.

Seeing this, Wu Di frowned slightly, because he could feel that the defense on the Spurs' side was very strong, and the Raptors had no good way to attack for the time being.

At this time, it must also be the time for him, the leader, to stand up.

After DeLong handed the ball to Wu Di, he pulled it to the side.

When Wu Di saw Bonner coming to block for him, he did not hesitate and went directly to the inside line.

To Wu Di's surprise, Horry came out of the oblique stab and directly blocked Wu Di's way.

However, Wu Di is not the hairy boy he was back then, and he will not be so lightly guarded down.

When Horry stretched out his arm to block, Wu Di's pace of advancement suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Huo Li immediately got up to block it, but found that Wu Di had just made a fake move.

At the moment when Huo Li was stunned, Wu Di took a step forward, and the whole person had jumped up and killed the basket.

Seeing Wu Di get up, Duncan immediately abandoned Milicic, raised his hands high, and lightly jumped towards the basketball that Wu Di held in the air.

However, when Duncan pressed down the block, Wu Di slightly tucked his abdomen in the air, and at the same time changed his lift to throw, completing a borrowing force in the air.

The basketball wiped the board and fell into the pocket, and the score was 7:2. (To be continued......)
