Du Kang announced the Lakers' second-half starters in advance at halftime, and it was shocking to throw all three veterans into the starters.

This decision definitely made Spurs fans and many D blacks laugh out of their big teeth, and made many Lakers fans and Chinese fans heartbroken.

The use of the three veterans in the first half, although it is said that it does not quench the thirst, and it is always impossible to concentrate all the strength, and the strength is scattered, but there is still strength.

How long can these three people play together?

In five minutes at most, the three veterans of the Lakers will collapse in this hellish game environment.

After playing five minutes, it collapsed, so, for the rest of the game, the Lakers will not have these three veterans, how can the Lakers' offense play?

By Antetokounmpo?

Antetokounmpo was pinched by Leonard in this series, almost like an undercover agent on the offensive end.

By Ibanks?

Ibanks is the most reliable attacking point after the three veterans, but his single ability is simply not enough.

In the end, the Lakers may have a hard time scoring, and when the time comes, they will definitely be trapped by the Spurs' defense like G1.

It can be said that the three veterans, at the same time, even if it is not Coach D who wants to kill these three, it is Coach D who makes the Lakers commit suicide themselves.

Even if the three veterans can catch up with the 20-point difference in the few minutes they play together, then, what then?

Still a loser!

So, there is no point at all!

In such a competitive environment, there is no point in playing three veterans at the same time!

Lose your marbles!

Coach D is completely insane!

At this time, not only the commentaries of various countries, but also the big Vs, experts, and celebrities online and offline are saying this.

Even many Lakers fans and Chinese fans are sad at this time, this series between the Lakers and the Spurs is really too stressful for the coach.

Popovich had always felt like he was going crazy, just a little bit.

And in the end, Popovich was saved by Ginobili on the verge of going crazy.

But Coach D, he was mad by such a series of games!

Actually, it's understandable.

Popovich has pressure not to lose this series.

But Coach D, as the head coach of the team that led the team to 73 wins in the regular season, led the team to 73 wins and was blackened?

Is this something that is acceptable to Coach D?

Coach D can't accept it, he is the strongest head coach in NBA history, and if he really wants to be blackened by 73 wins, Coach D will never have the title of the strongest coach again, let alone the greatest.

So, what is the significance of Coach D's career?

For Coach D, for Popovich, after losing this series, the meaning of his career will collapse.

None of them can accept the loss of this series, so many experts say that this series is not only consuming players, but also consuming coaches, and there is nothing wrong with it.

So, when Dukang and the Lakers players appeared at the AT&T arena again, in the stuffy arena, the sweaty Spurs fans were laughing and taunting wildly.

All the boos, all the ridicule, all poured into Du Kang.

Du Kang felt it and accepted it all with a smile.

And Popovich, as the head coach of the Spurs, also felt it.

Seeing the smile on Dukang's face, Popovich had a look of surprise on his face.

Actually let three veterans play at the same time, why would Coach D make such a meaningless decision?

The three veterans are on the same day, even if they can temporarily take the advantage, what can they do?

Unless they can stay on the pitch all the time, if they can always perform at a high level, if they can keep coming up, that's the hope of self-defeat.

The three of them take turns, although there is a high probability of losing, but, at least, it can still give Lakers fans some thoughts, what if one of the three veterans breaks out?

It's not impossible.

But now, Coach D has personally extinguished the expectations of Lakers fans.

It was a very crazy decision, crazy enough to make people feel like Coach D was a fool.

Popovich, of course, doesn't think Coach D is a fool, no one thinks so.

Obviously, Coach D has his own ideas, and the only thought is that Coach D can expect a miracle in the same hope as he did before.

What if, these three veterans, with super willpower, persevered for ten minutes, or even fifteen minutes, or even longer?

It's not impossible.

In competitive sports, anything is possible.

Although this probability is very low.

But, this is the perspective of ordinary people.

And Coach D's perspective, his coaching career, and the miracles he has seen, are too many.

Howard, Iverson, Carter, Kobe, Maddy, Nash, all brought him miracles.

Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming, Oden, Roy, Yes and others also brought him miracles.

Olajuwon, Reggie Miller, the Pacers four old, the players under Coach D, I don't know how many people have surpassed themselves.

From Coach D's point of view, Pierce, Garnett, Barkley, are they worse than those who once surpassed themselves?

If they can surpass themselves, why can't you?

Popovich took a deep look at Dukang, who was not far away, and he tried to see things from the perspective of Coach D.

Then everything suddenly became clear.

Coach D wants to win!

And the three elders are on one by one, and it is impossible to win.

Only when the three elders go together can they reverse and win!

So, this is the only way Coach D can take the Lakers to win this game!

Even if it is impossible to expect the three elders to surpass themselves, at least, this is the only way to win!

Terrible!

Popovich can only say that it is amazing!

Although he has been running to Coach D to engage in Coach D's mentality when he has the advantage in this series, this is not to despise Coach D.

Just like Coach D has been working on his mentality, he has been working on Coach D's mentality, and that's because Coach D is too strong, and only by doing so can he increase his hopes of victory.

The Lakers are in such despair, most of the head coaches, no, except for Coach D, all the head coaches, no one dares to make such a decision!

Expect a miracle!

In the history of the NBA, no head coach would have expected a miracle like Coach D!

Obviously, God has always been on the opposite side of Coach D!

"Basketball doesn't treat people who trust it."

This is a quote from Coach D.

So, Coach D is not expecting a miracle.

Is he expecting basketball, is he believing in basketball, believing in basketball, is everything always possible?

"Sure enough, it's crazy!"

In the history of the NBA, no one has trusted basketball so much!

Looking at Coach D, who was applauding the Lakers players on the court not far away, Popovich also had a smile on his face.

"Just let me see, this time in basketball, there is still a spirit!"

The second half of the game begins.

At this point, the Spurs started the same as in the first half.

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

Ginobili and Duncan, two veterans, are not easy now.

Especially Ginobili.

Ginobili played too well in the first half, and the consumption was too great.

It is precisely because the Spurs have two veterans with high consumption that Du Kang dares to play the inside line of two veterans, because the Spurs may not be able to run now.

It should be said that the Spurs, if they want to run now, it's very difficult.

In such a situation, Garnett and Barkley's double interior advantage is too great!

Therefore, many fans know that the three veterans are on the same time, which has a great effect in a short period of time.

Fans know how Popovich doesn't know.

So, Popovich gave the Spurs only one instruction, and that was to drag!

Slowing down the tempo, dragging the three veterans of the Lakers to death, and by the way, letting Gino Belgium steal one or two from time to time.

Therefore, after the second half of the game resumed, many Spurs fans on the scene were expecting the Lakers to pull the rhythm, and the Spurs and Popovich lowered the rhythm to see who could control the rhythm in their own hands.

However, soon, Spurs fans on the scene noticed something bad.

The Lakers are 20 points behind, and the Lakers are now in urgent need of chasing points, and in the face of the Spurs' deliberate lowering of the tempo, the Lakers should be in a hurry, after all, their three veterans will not spend much time together.

However, the Spurs are slow, the Lakers are even slower, and they can't wait to hit Garnett and Barkley every time they attack!

The Spurs' lineup, of course, is impossible to defend against the double interior of Barkley and Garnett.

Confrontation, contraction, that's the only way the Spurs can defend.

But!

Barkley and Garnett, they're no ordinary interior players!

They can all shoot!

They can all attack from the outside!

At the same time, they can also attack on the inside!

"Charles Barkley crossed, Charles Barkley turned! Charles Barkley is going to the basket! No, Charles Barkley, shot!! ”

Leonard's strength is already very good on the front line, coupled with excellent defensive ability and judgment, so that Leonard's defense on the front line is very uncomfortable even James, Leonard is the strongest James finisher in the league, even one can be removed, if you insist on playing stalks, well, Leonard is definitely not as good as Barria.

However, in all seriousness, Leonard can indeed be regarded as the James finisher who is now the No. 1 in the league.

And James, in the current league, is already the most difficult to defend against the strength of the talented forward!

That's what Leonard thought before!

Until, he met Barkley in this series!

Garnett pulled Duncan away, and Leonard was clear that he couldn't let Barkley burst in.

But just now, Barkley almost almost broke through with a cross-step and turn-around stunt, and he relied on his super defensive ability and judgment to block Barkley's hand.

If it is to defend James and block James's breakthrough, James will be wasted, because James will not make a stop-and-go jump shot, but can only pass the ball and shake the pot.

But Barkley, he can shoot!!

In order to block Barkley's breakthrough, he almost lost his position just now, so he retreated a little too much.

In the end, even if he has long hands and long feet, in the end, he can only try his best to block, and then watch Barkley complete the pull-up jump shot!

Brush it up!

60 to 45!

The third quarter played 3 minutes, and the Lakers' trailing margin became 15 points!

In just three minutes, the Lakers caught up with five points!

"Coach D's three veterans are indeed strong!"

At this time, the Spurs fans, who were still laughing at Coach D just now, were already trembling at this time, and their hearts were trembling.

They know that Coach D's three-veteran lineup won't last long.

It's impossible to hold on to the 20-point difference.

Even if you catch up with the 20-point difference, it doesn't make sense, and you still lose in the end.

However, seeing the Lakers under the leadership of the three veterans, such a ferocious momentum of chasing points, the Spurs fans on the scene still couldn't suppress the apprehension and uneasiness in their hearts.

Popovich on the sidelines is certainly included here.

Popovich's psychology is the same as that of Spurs fans right now.

It's one thing to know, but it's another thing to be confronted.

However, at this time, Popovich had no other choice but to shout from the sidelines.

"Hold on, hold on for a few more minutes, just hold on for a few more minutes and we're going to win!!"

Listening to Popovich's shouting on the sidelines, Ginobili on the court gritted his teeth, almost collapsed outside the three-point line to defend Antetokounmpo, leaned back, and shot an extremely difficult three-pointer.

Playing Antetokounmpo is much harder to beat than beating McCarvey!

Antetokounmpo, this kid, really knows him!

He can only rely on this kind of fairy ball!

The first two didn't hit, and if he couldn't hit again this time, Ginobili felt that he needed to take a break, and by the way, he staggered Antetokounmpo's kid!

And then!

Brush it up!

Hit!

63 to 45!

Seeing the point difference of chasing, it once again stretched to 18 points!

After hitting the three-point shot, Ginobili was roaring, completely ignoring that he was already wet at this time.

And the Spurs fans on the sidelines were also roaring and shouting at this time, chanting Ginobili's name!

"Manu will miss all the shots in front of him, but when it matters most, when he is needed the most, he can always step up, this is Manu, this is our Spurs' Mr. Desperate!!"

The Lakers chased the margin to 15 points, and this shot was just too important!!

Entering and not entering, those are completely two moods.

Now, Ginobili is in!

"Now, once again, the pressure is all on Coach D, on the side of the Lakers!!"

"This game is so suffocating!! Whether the Lakers went down first or Manu went down first, I swear, it's the most brutal game I've ever seen against a veteran!!! Damn Buford, if anyone of them dies on the pitch, you're the biggest culprit!! ”

Kenny Smith was yelling.

And Buford, who was on the sidelines, was also gritting his teeth at this time, and all in his mind was Coach D's thanks.

"If I don't, can we meet an even more magical Manu?"

There was a blank look in Buford's eyes, but only a hint.

Soon, Buford put all his hesitation down.

"What we need is not a more magical Manu, what we need is a win in a game!!"

"No matter how magical Manu is, it can't bring us victory, but, I, can!"

Almost at the same time, Buford's face changed drastically again.

Because, at this time, the Spurs fans on the side of the court let out an exclamation, and the Spurs head coach on the sidelines, Popovich, squatted on the ground again!

On the court, this time, Duncan did not chase out, did not chase outside the three-point line, and the Spurs chose to change defenses!

Switching to guard Garnett outside the three-point line, is there something wrong with this?

There's nothing wrong with this!

However, just as the two Spurs players were rotating, Garnett, who was at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, actually shot directly!!

"Such a decisive offense!! Oh my God! Is this Garnett? Is this Garnett who has collapsed? Is this still Garnett, who was soft on offense at that critical time?!!! ”

If the three points of Ginobili just now are a super score, a super score that can affect the trend of the game.

Well, this one of Garnett, too!

Many people, in the face of such a situation, don't even dare to make a move!

Even some so-called supergiants, the top ten in history, dare not shoot such a super shot!

Garnett shot!

And so decisively!

Duncan, who was already about to return to the basket, suddenly looked back at Garnett outside.

Looking at Garnett, who was also looking at him at this time, Duncan's face showed a dull expression.

And right now!

The sound of the brush came!

The dull expression on Duncan's face became even more dull!

And Garnett looked at Coach D, who was smiling on the sidelines, and his mouth moved!

"Tim, this time, are you ready?"

"The hunt is about to begin!"

In front of the TV, Nowitzki's hands were clenched tightly.

A lot of people say that his career is perfect.

But!

"I know that my career is still a little bit short, just a little bit !!"

What is this point?

Now, I know!!
