Chapter 128: Sweeping and Flattening, Salute to Greatness!! (Thanks to Alliance Leader Wes, Evil Shadow)
The overtime between the Lakers and the Spurs made the whole basketball world go crazy!
Popovich, who had lost Duncan, kept adjusting, like a hunted beast, constantly struggling, but the surrounding barbed wire became narrower and narrower, until he despaired!
Where have the audience ever seen such a murderous, murderous and heart-wrenching game!
I thought that this overtime, even if the Lakers would win, should be a close game.
Unexpectedly, in the end, it turned into Coach D's hunt for Popovich!
This is Popovich!
The shadow of the man, the bark of the tree, the strongest and most successful head coach in the NBA in the last 15 years!
Unexpectedly, after Duncan couldn't play in overtime, he was beaten like this by Coach D!
I can't fight big, and I don't dare to be small, just like a tinker who makes up for what is missing, and finally mustered up the courage to gamble with Coach D, but Coach D didn't even give him the opportunity to gamble!
"It's miserable!"
In front of the TV, looking at the old opponent on the TV who was desperately beaten by Coach D, Phil Jackson was very happy.
Call you who he was before!
that you may have degraded me before!
Now you know, right?
Doesn't he also rely on supergiants?
Without Duncan's contribution, the Spurs would have played like shit in overtime!
What does he think about letting a role player go on offense as a superstar?
Since you are going to gamble on your life, there is still Dior on the court, is this for the New Year?
And, if it were me, I would never have replaced Duncan at the end of the fourth quarter!
Coach D will never be given any chance to play overtime!
"I think he's not as good as me, now you know, right? Don't say it's Coach D, he's just not as good as me!!"
The excited Phil Jackson didn't notice that there was a problem in his words.
Perhaps, he noticed, however, he also admitted that he was indeed inferior to Coach D.
"Popovich can be the godfather of the Spurs, enjoy so many years of glory, I have 11 NBA championships in my hand, I can't be the godfather of the Lakers, I can be the godfather of the New York Knicks, it's very reasonable!"
Looking at the G3 overtime between the Lakers and the Spurs, most people's mentality is like Phil Jackson.
Shocked, shocked at the same time, also watching fun, no way, Popovich offended the team in the past, too much.
When the wall falls down and everyone pushes it, and the house collapses, how can the fun people not be happy?
Many excited old fans cried excitedly when they saw Popovich being so desperate by Coach D.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Popovich to have today, God is not asleep, God just dozed off for a while, it should come, it will still come!"
It's hard to believe that there really is such a thing as fate, and it's hard to believe that there really isn't.
Sometimes, fate is just so magical.
For Du Kang, he is not fatalistic.
His grudge with Popovich is that there is no grudge.
Just like he and Phil Jackson, he and Phil Jackson have no grudges.
However, there is a grudge against his position!
In the Lakers, Jim Jackson is his biggest benefactor, he is a grateful person, and Phil Jackson is Aunt Jenny's husband, the biggest foreign aid, and he must cut off Aunt Jenny's wings for Jim Crisp.
With the Lakers, Iverson, Maddy, Carter and Nash are the biggest victims of Popovich and the shadowy Spurs, and he has to get justice for them, which is his responsibility as a head coach.
Although Popovich has become kind in recent years, the evil fruit that was sown back then has taken root and sprouted.
In fact, even without him, Popovich estimates that sooner or later he will be counterattacked.
He just let the time for this backlash come in advance.
And......
Is this a backlash?
No, he is.
This is justice from heaven
!
For Popovich, every second of the game was a long one.
And the same is true for Spurs fans in front of the TV.
Their players hit everything short.
Their head coach stretched out his hand once, and was slashed by Coach D.
This game is desperate to watch!
And the most desperate and painful thing is, why is there this overtime!
Why this cruel overtime!
Why can't we just end it all at the regular time?
And this is what made Popovich go from torment to despair.
This game is too important, whoever wants to win more, the more tormented and desperate he is.
And Popovich is undoubtedly the one who wants to win the most.
At the same time, he is also the initiator of this desperate overtime!
It was he who replaced Duncan in the last 19.4 seconds of the fourth quarter!
105 to 115!
This overtime game that left Spurs fans desperate is finally over!
At the end of the game, the Lakers fans at the scene let out a huge cheer.
Everyone was chanting Coach D's name.
The Lakers players on the court, the Lakers players on the sidelines, were all standing at this time, applauding Coach D.
"Congratulations to Coach D for the greatest playoff game of his career so far!"
"He defeated an NBA coaching competition for the head coach of the Goat!"
"In all three unfavorable games, he eventually led the team to complete the comeback, turning a disadvantaged series into a 3-0 sweep!"
"Coach D loves to purify the air in the NBA, congratulations, they all fought a great battle of purification!"
"Now, let's cheer for Coach D!!"
After shouting all this.
Barkley, Kenny Smith, O'Neal, everyone in the room gave a standing ovation.
Except for those Hollywood stars who are mavericks, like to get down on one knee, and like to advertise themselves as the most loyal knights of Emperor D.
At this time.
In front of the TV.
Chris Paul.
David West.
Szebiak.
Jamal Crawford
Stoudemire
Francis
A bunch of active, retired players are all standing up and applauding Coach D.
Larry Bird.
Old Nelson.
Byron Scott.
Even even.
Pat Riley......
"Wonderful!"
Watch as Pat Riley stood there at this time and applauded Coach D.
Spoelstra next to him was dumbfounded.
This is his proudest teacher!
But......
Wonderful indeed!
Spoelstra stood up and applauded.
After the match, the applause of the entire Staples for Dukang lasted for three minutes.
It wasn't until Du Kang pressed down with his hands and signaled that everyone was okay, and Staples's applause reached its maximum volume, and then slowly dissipated.
But soon, as the applause ended, the reporters and media at the scene rushed to Du Kang frantically.
In the face of such a posture, of course Du Kang can't be caught up by them!
After making a finger-shaking motion to these people, another flying kiss was left.
Under the protection of the big four, the big three (Oden, Howard and UAE).
Du Kang, just run!
In terms of the emotional intelligence of Xiao Du's players, Coach D is afraid of these guys!
In terms of Coach Xiao Du's emotional intelligence, Coach D disdains to pretend to beep at home, and hand it over to the players to pretend to beep at home.
And there is.
If he were to be interviewed live, with the madness of this group of guys, the Lakers players would have to sleep at least an hour late.
He couldn't see his own players so tired.
The next game is at 3:30 p.m. on May 12.
The Lakers and Spurs' G4, both teams don't even have a 48-hour break.
It's a very big test.
It's a test for Spurs.
For the Lakers, it is a test!
After running into the players' tunnel and looking at the media reporters who couldn't catch up with him behind him, Du Kang laughed and laughed.
In fact, the NBA's player tunnel also has cameras.
Du Kang's actions made many fans and viewers in front of the TV and on the Internet shine.
"Run away after loading the beep, Coach D must feel very exciting! Hahahaha......"
"I think it's exciting, rookie season, leading the team 3-0 to lead the championship favorite, promotion is in sight, the finals are in sight, it's me, I'm so excited!"
"I just like Coach D's unpretentious appearance!"
"Many people say that he is the No. 1 head coach in the NBA's black heart, and I have always felt that Coach D is not black, but he is a little naughty, hahahaha......
Just when everyone was watching Coach D, the appearance of a person made Coach D, who was still laughing just now, straighten his waist in an instant.
"Du, it's okay."
"Huh? Jim, why are you here?"
Jim Shu Xiao didn't answer Du Kang's words, but smiled and pointed his finger at the rows of cameras on the wall.
it!
Du Kang was dumbfounded!
How to forget this!
I was so excited just now that I forgot about this!
My idol image is gone!
Seeing such an expression on Du Kang's face, Jim Shu Huang smiled.
"Let's go."
Du Kang followed Jim Shu out of the players' tunnel.
I saw Du Kang obediently following Jim Shu Huang away.
Many fans online are happy again.
"It turns out that Coach D also has idol baggage!"
"Have you noticed that Coach D is very well-behaved in front of that uncle, and he doesn't explode at all!"
"What uncle, that's the president of the Lakers, the owner, and the second shareholder!"
"I'm curious, who is the majority shareholder of the Lakers?"
"Coach D!"
"it!"
For a while, there was another madness on the Internet.
Du Kang followed Jim Shu Huang all the way to the locker room, and Ji Shu Xiao, who walked in front, closed the door of the locker room after seeing Du Kang follow up.
"Finally there are no cameras."
「……」
Du Kang's eyes widened.
Jim Dawn, what are you going to do?!
I saw Jim Shu Xiao, took out a big guy, and opened the cork in front of Du Kang, and with a snort, a huge bubble rushed towards Du Kang!
"Hahahaha, Du, I'm so happy, I'm so happy tonight!!!!
it!
Du Kang, who was smacked by Jim Shu, reacted!
He's been attacked by Jim Silk!
How can this be!
Jim Shumi, you don't think you're the only one with a big dick, do you?
I, too!
Du Kang ran to a corner, took out the big guy that had been prepared a long time ago, and was originally intended to sneak attack the players, and sprayed it at Jim Shu Huang!
For a while, the Lakers' locker room was full of hearty laughter.
It wasn't until the big guy in his hand couldn't squirt a single drop of foam anymore that Du Kang and Jim Shu sat on the ground back to back.
At this time, the two of them were covered in champagne
taste.
At this time, the ground was also full of champagne.
But the two didn't care at all.
Didn't care at all.
At this time, the two just wanted to vent all the emotions they had suppressed in the past half season through laughter.
Leading the Spurs 3-0.
There's no need to be proud, there's no need to be humble, no team in the NBA can come back from 3-0 down in the playoffs.
Therefore, the Lakers have entered the Western Conference finals twice and half a foot in the finals.
After tonight's game, they, on the Lakers, were safe.
The pressure on the two of them was completely released.
"Du ......"
"Huh?"
"Thank you."
Jim Shu, who was leaning back to back on Du Kang's back, whispered.
"I refuse."
"Huh?"
Jim Shu turned his head in confusion and looked at Du Kang.
"Why?"
"I'll tell me that when you become the No. 1 owner in the NBA."
「……」
Du Kang smiled and turned his head to look at Jim.
Actually, I'm the one who should say thank you.
Jim Shumi, how could I let you sneak attack!
"Jim ......"
"I refuse."
「……」
"When you become the No. 1 head coach in the NBA, tell me again."
it!
Jim Dawn, do you know how to read minds?!
But......
The two looked at each other with a smile and turned their heads back.
Both looked at the sky in the locker room at the same time.
"Relaxed ......"
"That's nice."
The day after the Lakers and Spurs series G3 was played.
The whole world is swept up in this game.
It's as if the entire NBA, in terms of this divisional semifinals, the kind that no other divisional semifinals have.
It can only be said that this game is too strong!
Duncan went down to earth with 40 points and 17 rebounds in a single game.
In the fourth quarter, the big four guards fought Duncan.
In overtime, the Lakers' three King Kong locked the Spurs!
The craziest thing is, of course, Coach D defeating NBA No. 1 head coach Popovich!
There is so much magic in this game!
Lead, overtake, reverse, draw, collapse!
There are also so many incredible plots to tell in this game.
In the midst of such a hustle, the G4 of the Lakers and Spurs also came unexpectedly.
The Los Angeles Lakers, who are leading 3-0, have stepped into the door of the Western Conference Finals.
It's just a matter of seeing how long the Spurs hold on before letting the Lakers pass.
"Coach, in this game, I want to focus on Duncan!"
On the morning of May 12, Du Kang was doing acupuncture therapy for the big four defenders and Nash.
When he was done, Howard, Dukang's medical assistant, volunteered to raise his hand.
Hearing Howard's impatient look.
The big four defenders looked disdainful.
They're tired now, and Duncan is even more tired now.
Such a great player, in the end, actually let this shaft pick up the cheap.
Du Kang looked at Howard, who was about to pinch the soft persimmon at this time.
Well, there was a deep groan.
Finally, a smile appeared on his face.
"Dwight, are you really going to attack Duncan in the evening's game?"
"Coach, let your most loyal warrior win the last match for you!"
Seeing that Howard was so impatient, Du Kang finally nodded.
"Just don't regret it."
Regret?
Coach, you're saying that Tim Duncan, an old thing, regrets having met beasts in his career, right?
Hahaha......
"I think, now the Spurs have nothing to struggle, just give up, this game, the Lakers will win!"
At the start of the game, TNT commentator O'Neill said.
The game had just begun, and O'Neal, who had previously supported Popovich, jumped straight back.
This made Barkley next to him disdainful.
This fat man, this is stealing my seat!
The script is not that I support Coach D, do you support Popovich?
What about your loyalty?
Don't you know from the beginning?
O'Neill, who read the meaning in Barkley's eyes, smiled.
Loyal?
Charles, you don't seem to know the rainbow jersey I'm wearing.
Isn't it ridiculous that you say loyalty to a rainbow warrior?
Fack!
Barkley was stunned by O'Neal's bluntness.
Are you TM an adult, and the real TM is the same as a child?
I thought it was first come, first served!
And!
Popovich is already so miserable, can you still abandon him like this?
Since you're going to steal my role in this game, I'm not going to fight with you, but don't blame me for being rude!
Barkley gave O'Neill a vicious final glare, then a smile on his face.
"Shaq, you can't use your own standards to speculate on Duncan, you're a softie, Duncan is not a softie, you've been swept six times in your career, or even five times in six years, and you surrendered 0-3, while Duncan, who was only swept twice in his career, is not in the habit of surrendering in the playoffs!"
Barkley's words stunned O'Neal.
Nima's!
After the role of this dead fat man was robbed by me, he actually supported not Popovich, not the Spurs, but Duncan!
The Lakers and Spurs' G3, the four major guards fight Duncan, but it makes Duncan, a 37-year-old veteran, soar in popularity!
Many young fans who questioned that Duncan's data could be the number one forward in NBA history trembled with Duncan's shock.
In short, the Lakers and Spurs' G3, the Spurs lost, Popovich lost, Duncan didn't lose, this time it really didn't lose.
Fack!
O'Neill looked at Barkley unhappily.
It's okay to hack Duncan with him!
However, at the end of his career, he was indeed not decent enough, and it is also true that he was not as decent as Duncan.
Wait a minute!
What if my previous career was not at the end of my career?
What if I come back?
"Coach D, do you think I can do it?"
O'Neill was excited.
"Charles, you're right, Tim is a great player, but no matter how great a player is, he can't fight against the years, only Coach D can fight against the years!"
it!
That's blowing it?
Barkley was utterly shocked by O'Neill's shamelessness.
And at the same time.
The Lakers fans at the scene suddenly let out a huge exclamation.
O'Neill and Barkley looked over.
Howarddra went beyond the three-point line, Duncan followed, and Howard was excited to see Duncan follow.
Hahahaha, old thing, this game, will be your nightmare!
What is the physical state of that group of old men in his own house, he knows very well, he is the coach's medical assistant!
Duncan's current physical condition will only be worse than those old men in his own house!
What is it?
Here's your chance!
"Duncan, who can only be defeated by the four guards,
Defeated by my great beast alone, the first person in the alliance, who else can I be!"
Said to do it, Howard received Nash's pass and did not pass, but prepared to shoot Duncan directly outside the three-point line!
And then!
Bang!
Howard is cut off by Duncan!
After the break, Duncan handed the ball to Parker.
Spurs attack.
Back to it.
Duncan took Parker's pass, turned around and hit a board throw under the basket.
4 to 2!
The game lasted two minutes, and the score was 4-2 with the Spurs leading.
It can be seen how the physical condition of the Lakers and Spurs players is now.
In such a terrible state of two teams, there is one person who is shocking.
Tim Duncan!
"Oh my God!"
After Howard's first failed single against Duncan, he went on top.
It's not outside the three-point line, but it's a run to the basket and do it!
The end result is:
In the first quarter of the game, Duncan completed 3 steals!
At the end of the first quarter, the Spurs trailed the Lakers by two points, 16-18.
The Spurs shot less than 32 percent from the field and the Lakers shot less than 37 percent.
Overall, the Lakers are slightly better.
But the most present and outstanding performance on the court is definitely Duncan, who let Howard not score 1 point in the first quarter, but he played 4 points, 3 steals, 3 rebounds and 2 assists!
Throughout the first quarter, Duncan dominated the game on both ends of the floor!
The Spurs had a total of 4 steals in the first quarter, with Duncan alone 3, and the Spurs had a total of 3 assists in the first quarter, with Duncan 2.
saw the first quarter, the 37-year-old Duncan Sr., Howard who hung his head at the center position, the Lakers audience at the scene, the audience in front of the TV, the three commentators of TNT, Popovich on the sidelines, and even the Lakers players on the court, all were dumbfounded.
Only one person was not shocked.
That's Du Kang!
In this G4, Du Kang wanted to win steadily, and wanted to simulate what X-factor the Spurs had, so he simulated it three times.
Each time, Duncan's performance shocked Du Kang.
Duncan, the biggest cornerstone of the Spurs.
Also the biggest X-factor for the Spurs!
An unbelievable player!
"Bobo, you're in luck."
What?!
Popovich, shocked by Duncan's performance, looked at Ducon in shock.
At this time, Du Kang's face was appreciative, calm, and sure enough, such an expression made Popovich's face very ugly!
Why is this kid so familiar with Tim, so understanding, and even so trusting!
Obviously, I came first!
But why!!
Popovich gritted his teeth.
And not far away is the TNT commentary seat.
"Tim Duncan, he didn't give up!
Ginobili was 1 of 4, Parker was 1 of 3, Danny Green was 0 of 2, Gary Neil was 0 of 3, and most of the Spurs players gave up, except for Tim Duncan, who hasn't given up yet!!
Tim Duncan, he's still fighting!!"
Barkley's passionate shouting made O'Neal next to him stupid.
Second quarter of the game.
Duncan who played the entire first quarter.
After only a 2-minute break in the second quarter, he was once again put on the line-up.
In this quarter, Duncan once again dominated the game!
2 of 3 in a single quarter, 5 of 5 free throws, and 9 points in a single quarter, when the Spurs needed to score the most, once again incarnated as a super center, broke Howard, and also led the Spurs' offense.
When the Spurs were 27-33 and were about to be defeated, he went on the court to turn the tide and led the Spurs to 44 at one point before halftime
than 42, overtook the score.
If it weren't for Carter and Maddy's back-to-back mid-range shots, the Spurs would have really taken the lead to end the half.
After the second quarter, the Lakers' @
The Spurs played two minutes and once again didn't score a point.
Duncan, who had been playing for 34 minutes in the front, was once again on the court.
On the court, he used his strong interior dominance to assist Parker to score.
Broke the Spurs' scoring panic.
But!
In the last game, Duncan played 44 minutes.
In this game, Duncan played 34 minutes in the first three quarters of 36 minutes.
He's already overdrawn.
After going up in the fourth quarter, Duncan was clearly unable to attack.
But he's gritting his teeth and attacking!
If he doesn't attack, the Spurs won't attack at all!
Du Kang, who saw this, waved his hand.
Directly ask the Lakers players on the court not to pinch Duncan, let Duncan single Howard, and the others mark to defend the Spurs players.
In the end, in the fourth quarter, Duncan was unable to attract the defense, and in the face of Howard's defense, he scored 7 points on 2-of-6 and 3-of-3 free throws in the first quarter.
With the exception of Duncan, the Spurs were 4-of-14 shooting and scored just 10 points.
In the end, the Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Spurs 95-88 at home.
In the last two minutes, Spurs didn't get a point.
Until the last two minutes, Duncan was still holding on, and the Spurs were only 88-90 behind.
But in the last two minutes, Coach D replaced Kobe Bryant and Iverson, Carter, Maddy's big four guards and Nash.
It's over.
"Coach D changed the big four guards and Nash to say goodbye to Duncan!"
The game is over.
Duncan's unwilling, remorseful hands hammered the ground!
When he bent over and looked up, he saw that it wasn't the Spurs players standing next to him, not Parker, Ginobili, Leonard.
Standing next to him were Kobe, Iverson, Carter, Maddie and Nash.
Seeing this scene, Duncan was stunned.
Then, he heard the frantic applause and cheers of the Lakers fans on the spot.
"Oh my God, Coach D is directing the Lakers fans to chant Duncan's name!"
"Duncan's performance in this series has conquered Coach D, conquered the Lakers, conquered Los Angeles!"
"Coach D is not celebrating victory, Coach D is paying tribute to greatness!!"
Seeing this, the whole world went crazy.
Only Popovich and Howard were dumbfounded.
Popovich felt like he was being crazed by NTR.
And Howard, it's still zero points!
on the pitch.
Maizi walked up to Duncan.
"Tim, you and I have a grudge."
Maizi finished smiling, touched the back of Duncan's head, and turned to leave.
Kobe, Carter, Iverson, Nash, and the four of them also smiled and touched the back of Duncan's head before leaving.
"Oh my God, the Big Four and Nash, they're comforting Duncan the way they do!"
"That's the greatness of the NBA, that's the greatness of basketball!!"
"Tim Duncan, the Big Four, Steve Nash, they're all great players to pay tribute to!!"
Watching the big four and Nash's departing back.
Duncan straightened up, the remorse and reluctance on his face replaced with bitterness.
looked at Du Kang, who was still applauding him on the sidelines, and was still applauding him with Lakers fans.
The bitterness on Duncan's face turned into a bitter smile.
"Coach D, congratulations, you've won."
He, lost convinced.
What he regrets and is unwilling to do is only the years.
"Ding, congratulations on leading the team to the second round of the NBA playoffs and rewarding players for strengthening the training camp once."
"Ding, congratulations on completing the hidden mission, leveling the Holy City, and completing the level, Gold."
"Ding, congratulations on getting a Golden Player Comeback Card."
