The more brilliant the opponent blooms, the higher the reward for defeating the opponent.

Such a task reminder filled Du Kang with a sense of crisis.

But at this time, around Du Kang, Du Kang looked around, his assistants were now talking and laughing, and even Aunt Jenny was now full of triumphant and easy smiles on her face.

As for the Lakers' players, they are even more relaxed at this time.

Wade, Seth Curry and Jokic, who will not play in this game, are talking and laughing, and the three of them will even be teased by Kobe, Maizi, Yao Ming, and Roy behind them from time to time.

Wade, in particular, is the object of their ridicule.

"Dwyan, you're going to be the first regular season MVP in NBA history who doesn't play in the first round of the playoffs and then lies down to make it to the second round!"

"Hahahaha, the great D coach can make an MVP, let a while, let a champion, and still beat the strongest Spurs in history, Dwyane, Seth, Nikolai, I want to know now if your mood will be as bad as Popovich, hahahaha......"

"This kind of team doesn't need our feelings, we understand, we understand it too well, hahahaha......"

"Dwyan, don't be like this, be happy, Kobe Bryant must know better than you, you just didn't play, Kobe Bryant was undercover back then, and the great D coach can still lead the Lakers to 40 consecutive wins in the regular season and 16 consecutive wins in the playoffs, hahahaha......"

Du Kang looked over, and Kezi, who was still making fun of Wade just now, and the dark-faced face of Wade changed instantly, and the players of the Lakers around him, the famous players and the players who were reimbursed for the season, all laughed.

The entire Lakers bench was filled with such a cheerful atmosphere.

Just like G1 and G2 at the start of this series, no one would think the Lakers would be able to win.

At this point, most people don't think Spurs can win.

The failure of the first two defensive battles made Popovich and the Spurs' optimism fall off a cliff.

Let them forget that the Spurs are very strong even if they don't play defense.

It should be said that in the past few seasons, the Spurs have played offensively.

As the core and head coach of the Lakers, it is naturally impossible for Du Kang not to be seen with a solemn expression on his face now.

Nash was curious.

The Lakers were in such a bad situation before, but the coach was able to maintain the confidence that no one else had, and no one thought that the Lakers could beat the Spurs, and he didn't think either, but the coach thought at the time that the Lakers could beat the Spurs.

And now, the coach has flipped all this with his great ability, he should be happy, he should be relaxed, why does it look more dignified than before?

And it's so dignified!

"Coach, are you overthinking?"

Faced with Nash's question, Du Kang didn't answer, just shook his head.

In fact, it was not only Nash who noticed Du Kang's current expression, but even the commentators of this game also noticed it.

Even O'Neill and Kenny Smith have started to joke about Dukang.

"I always think that Coach D is a person with a very peculiar brain circuit, I feel that Coach D is used to being the enemy of the whole world, you look at Coach D's face now, now the whole world thinks that the Lakers have beaten the Spurs, but Coach D is starting to worry, hahahaha, is the Lakers' advantage now smaller than when G1 started? Could it be that the Spurs are stronger now than they were at the beginning of G1? Hahahaha......"

O'Neill was laughing, and Kenny Smith next to him was nodding his head in agreement.

Before G1 began, everyone said that the three veterans of Pierce, Garnett and Barkley were waste.

It must be the goods that will be beaten by Duncan.

Especially Garnett, this series, Duncan will let Garnett know what cruelty is!

But in the first three games, Garnett, Barkley and Pierce showed a shocking fight.

Everyone is so optimistic about the Spurs, they just think that the Spurs play offense, and Duncan may not be able to beat Garnett on the inside.

Coupled with the Lakers' defensive advantage, the assistant defenders are tall and tall, even if they play offense, the Spurs may not be able to break the Lakers' defense.

The Spurs have a single threat point on Leonard's outside, Finson can play alone and be unstable, and the upcoming starting Witesse can also be unstable in singles, both of which have a single-to-one shooting rate of less than 40%, which will definitely be lower under the Lakers' defense.

Now that Garnett, Pierce and Barkley are recognized, the Spurs' offense, after only two big threat points, Duncan and Leonard, is too easy to defend.

The Spurs, now, don't have a third consistent point of attack!

This is very, very deadly.

Finally, said those experts from ESPN and TNT.

"Now, it's not that Popovich wants to attack, he can play offense, and now, the process of the game and the way of playing are all under the control of Coach D, Coach D said, defense, is defense!"

The problem of the Spurs was directly amplified by the Lakers.

The Spurs, who had GDP back then, had three players with stable offense, and that was really strong.

The current Spurs seem to be infinitely luxurious role players, and every player is very powerful, but with Parker's departure, Ginobili is aging, and there are two stable offensive points left.

Even if the combination of Jordan and Pippen is just a dual-core, without a stable third point, there will be problems.

In particular, you have two stable points, and the other party can also come up with points that can be aligned.

Garnett can top Duncan.

For Leonard's people, even more.

So, no matter how you look at it, it's not easy for the Spurs to play offense, it should be said, it's impossible!

"A lot of truths, even the fans understand, but every time, Coach D doesn't understand, he always seems to have his own perspective, you can see hope in despair, you can also see despair in hope, maybe this time, Coach D sees despair in hope!"

Commentary, of course, is a black face, a white face, O'Neill is complaining about Du Kang, and Kenny Smith is of course from Du Kang's point of view.

It's just that after Kenny Smith finished speaking, the Spurs players began to play.

Five starters played.

Then, the first to come out was Ginobili, which stunned Spurs fans throughout AT&T Arenas.

"Ginobili starts?! Not Vitesse?! ”

Even Kenny Smith, who had just spoken for Dukang, was stunned.

Is this going to be sent by Popovich?

Is Popovich completely giving up?

Now 38-year-old Ginobili has shown fatigue in the regular season, and is basically in a state of retirement, can he still keep up with the rhythm of this series?

Popovich in such a match on Ginobili, isn't this just a send?

"Seeing the Spurs as a starter, the expression on Coach D's face now must be relaxed, right?"

After Kenny Smith finished speaking, O'Neill next to him smiled.

"Kenny, this time, you guessed wrong, Coach D, the expression on his face became more solemn, hahahaha...... So I said, Coach D's brain circuit is not normal, the craziest person in the NBA, deservedly, only people with abnormal brains will be like Coach D, hahahaha, Kenny, now, do you think that a starter like the Spurs is likely to make the Lakers desperate? Hahahaha......"

This time, Kenny Smith was silent.

Because it's really impossible to say, there's no way to refute it.

Duncan, Leonard, Danny Green, Finson, and Ginobili.

Such a Spur, such a starter, where can the slightest possibility create despair for the Lakers?

Seeing hope in despair, Coach D did it, and the desperate Lakers were indeed brought endless hope by him.

But this time, in hope, there is despair in hope......

"Will Ginobili's starter make the Lakers desperate?"

No way?

Probably not, right?

Kenny Smith couldn't believe it.

In this world, no one will believe it.

Even Popovich, who started Ginobili in this game, didn't believe it, so when he looked up and saw the more solemn look on Coach D's face at this time, he was stunned.

"Coach D's brain, no, it's really sick, right?"

Budenholzer, who was next to him, heard Bobo's complaint, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Because he knew that Bobo had started Manu in this game and had no intention of winning at all.

Pinning your hopes on 38-year-old Manu is too unfair to Manu.

When Bobo gave Manu a starting position, he said that he wanted Manu not to be under pressure, which was sincere.

Enjoy the game.

As long as Manu doesn't feel uncomfortable being called out like crazy, he can enjoy the game and Tim on the pitch.

As for the winner or loser......

Bobo has given up.

He had already decided that even if this series was taunted to death, he would fulfill Manu's wish.

Bobo has also decided, even if he loses the series, does not force Wade, and finally really goes to be an assistant to Coach D, he will admit it.

So, Bobo didn't think he could win this game.

Up and down the Spurs, no one thought about it, including Leonard, Danny Green and Finson, and even Vitesse, who was sitting on the sidelines, with a very ugly expression on his face.

He has been very honest with the Spurs this season, why is he so honest?

Quite simply, Witesse felt that he could compete for the second lead with the Spurs and even Leonard for the big spot after Duncan and Ginobili stepped down.

He's talented, Spurs have development, they're a match made in heaven.

But!

"Damn old fellow!"

This game was supposed to be a game for him to show himself, but in the end, he was given up by Popovich and the Spurs to let a veteran who should be in the ground play as a memorial game!

It's time for the Spurs to enter a new era!

But these products of the old times, veterans, why don't they die?

Aren't the Spurs one to trade Parker?

The world thinks the Spurs traded Parker, and it was Popovich who was determined to bring the Spurs into a new era.

No one thought that Popovich was still reminiscing about the glory of the past.

Therefore, seeing this starting of the Spurs, after seeing Popovich actually in a desperate situation, sacrificing products of the old times like Duncan and Ginobili, even Uncle Ka in the stands was very angry.

"Did this old guy Popovich really think it was ten years ago? Can Duncan and Manu keep saving the Spurs in desperate situations? At this time, it is time to reuse Kehuai, and it is time to formulate tactics and playing methods around Kehuai! ”

Popovich started Ginobili in this game, and he didn't mean to win, but it meant something else from someone else's point of view.

In the eyes of many people, the Spurs are in a desperate situation, and in the end, Popovich trusts old-age players like Duncan and Ginobili the most, and as for the new generation of players such as Vitesse and Leonard, in Popovich's heart, they still don't get enough trust.

So, at this time, whether it is Spurs fans, Spurs players, or the Spurs coaching staff, there is some silence now.

Even many people wonder if Popovich is dizzy.

There are more than one or two commentators like O'Neal about this Popovich's decision.

"Hahahaha, maybe in this world, only Coach D thinks Coach D is very good for this adjustment in this game, hahahaha, now in the whole world, only Coach D, thinks Popovich and Spurs still have hope of winning, hahahaha......"

O'Neal's unbridled laughter and mocking laughter made many Spurs fans in front of the TV quite uncomfortable.

Of course, they wanted to see Ginobili in a time when the team was desperate.

But, now, it's really not the time.

Now Manu, really, can't do it anymore.

Now, Spurs really need to enter a new era!

"Kenny, you say, is it possible that Coach D deliberately made such an expression? The purpose, in fact, is to tease Popovich and the Spurs? ”

After O'Neill's eyes lit up, Kenny Smith next to him opened his mouth wide and blinked, looking incredible, Shaq, do you want to have such a big brain.

And the Spurs fans in front of the TV, hearing O'Neal say this, their faces were even more ugly.

Spurs fans and Lakers fans on the Internet have started to denounce O'Neal.

This dead fat man is not only angry with their great D coach, but also at the same time with his old opponent Spurs!

If it weren't for the fact that the game was about to start, Spurs fans and Lakers fans on the Internet could directly scold O'Neal's social accounts.

The game begins.

Before starting, Du Kang didn't say anything else, only one thing.

That is, be careful!

"Be careful of Duncan in this game, and be careful of Ginobili in this game!"

"In this game, you have to be prepared, maybe not two superstars, but three superstars!"

Du Kang's words are in the Lakers, that is, Tiantiao, Du Kang said so, no one will treat it as non-existent.

In particular, Garnett, Pierce and McCarvey will be playing against the trio.

Garnett never underestimated Duncan.

The same goes for Pierce.

And McCarvey even regarded Du Kang's words as a heavenly existence.

Even if he really doesn't look down on the aging Ginobili now, he will pay attention.

Therefore, seeing the expressions of the Lakers players, although Du Kang didn't say anything, his assistant Nash was very satisfied.

"Coach, you must be thinking too much."

Looking at the backs of the players on the field, Du Kang still didn't have any smile on his face.

"I wish I was overthinking."

After saying that, Du Kang looked at Nash next to him again.

"Stephen, if you have to face Duncan and Ginobili and Leonard at their peak, do you think we can win this fight?"

Well?

Nash was stunned for a moment.

Then he looked at the Spurs players on the court and the Spurs players on the sidelines.

This Spurs is said by Popovich to be the strongest in history, and this has exaggerated success, but the thickness of this Spurs role player is indeed historic.

If you add the peak of Duncan and Ginobili, and the superstar Leonard, the Spurs with such a role player lineup, plus a coach like Popovich.

Nash was almost chilling.

No way?!

"That's why I'm worried."

And!

Du Kang looked at the sky.

Seeing Du Kang's sudden appearance at the sky, Nash was even more surprised.

Could it be that there are other reasons?

Right now!

Well?

Nash felt something strange in his body.

What about the wind?

Why is there no wind all of a sudden?

"The air conditioning stopped !!"

"No, it's not that the air conditioner is down, it's that the air conditioner is broken?!"

"The air conditioning at Spurs' home stadium is broken again!!"

At that moment, the fans, celebrities, and commentators of the entire AT&T arena all shouted loudly.

Especially O'Neill, who was in the TNT commentary seat, was dumbfounded at this time!

As a fat man, he knows all too well what it would be like to be on a midsummer night like this without air conditioning!

"Fack! Can I take a leave of absence from work? I don't want to explain!! After commenting on this game, I'm going to die of dehydration!! ”

And almost at the same time, in the CCTV commentary seat, Teacher Zhang Lili's excited voice trembled.

"The air conditioning at the Spurs' home stadium is broken, and the Spurs staff are already fixing it, but, I bet it won't be repaired before the end of this game!"

"Now the Lakers are the most combative, Garnett, Barkley and Pierce three veterans, there is no air conditioning, the damage to these veterans is too great, they are already under-fit, now, it will be even worse!!"

"This is a conspiracy by the Spurs against the Lakers, and this is certainly a conspiracy !!"

At this moment, Popovich on the sidelines looked at Buford behind him in shock.

This is definitely not his instruction!

Although the loss of air conditioning will hurt the Lakers even more, the combat effectiveness of the three cores will plummet.

But, in this game, Ginobili will also play, Manu and Tim are also veterans!

With the tacit understanding between Buford and Popovich, he certainly knew what Popovich's eyes meant.

But!

Buford shook his head.

Little did he know that Manu would suddenly start this game.

But!

Bobo, this game, Spurs, can't lose!

Manu and Tim's curtain call is important.

But, the victory of the Spurs, your honor, is even more important!

Popovich was silent.

And at this moment, the Spurs fans at the scene suddenly exclaimed!

Popovich suddenly looked at the big screen, and then, Popovich was stunned!

The Lakers opened the first offense, McCarvey directly named Ginobili, and after easily breaking through Manu, McCarvey, who was afraid of Duncan's defense, did not hit the basket, but made a quick stop jump shot at the free throw line.

However, it has just started!

The ball in McCarvey's hand was taken by Ginobili behind him!!!

No, it's broken!!

After the break, Ginobili is running!

Constant acceleration!

Keep running!

Outside the three-point line, just jump!

Brush it up!

Hit!

The whole world is in shock!

"I saw the desperation in Coach D's eyes!"

In front of the TV, Harden stood up in shock!
