Chapter Seventy-Six: Time to Defend the Title! (10,000 words 'small' chapter, kneel and beg for a monthly pass, subscription, collection!) )

MCI Center.

When Jordan began his last affectionate confession with tears in his eyes......

Wang Shuo was sure that at this moment, the tears in Danzi's eyes were absolutely sincere.

"Ever since my brother took me to the basketball court and as a young boy I started fantasizing about being in the NBA and shooting those winning shots, I knew one thing:

I am deeply in love with you. ”

"I am willing to give everything I have for you, from my heart, my body, to my spirit, my soul......"

"I ran back and forth on the court, chasing every rebound for you.

You crave my fight, and I'll give you back all your body and mind, because there's so much in between.

I played with injuries and sweaty, not because the "challenge" called me, but because you called me......"

"This season, I've given it my all. Although my heart is still able to withstand the ordeal, my mind is still able to handle the hardship......

But my body already knew it was time to say goodbye. ”

At the scene, in front of the TV, accompanied by Jordan's word by word, accompanied by Jordan's affectionate confession of basketball that he has always loved......

From his sincere voice, from his confession to the increasingly hoarse voice at the end, basketball fans all over the world feel that they feel Jordan's unforgettable love for basketball at this moment.

There is no doubt that in the future era when anyone can call themselves GOAT, in Wang Shuo's eyes, Kobe Bryant is a well-deserved GOAT in the retirement world.

This slightly modified "Dear Basketball" by Wang Shuo is the narration he personally recorded for Kobe Bryant's animated short film at his retirement battle.

Although as a high school player, Kobe's writing is limited, but compared to those flowery rhetoric, this text composed of the simplest English words is more shocking!

At the MCI Center, at the moment when Jordan's affectionate confession ended, the spotlight on the scene was turned off.

And at this moment, in the center of the stage, a blonde girl in a blue dress, also accompanied by the scene, followed Jordan's affectionate confession, bringing a little "fist" shock to the people who were watching the G2 battle of the finals this night:

"Legends never go out.

The world is calling to you.

Can you hear your name being called?

The legend never goes out.

Composed the story into a song.

Adversity is great!

Sweat and blood stain the jersey!

Never give up, no matter how many challenges and cold words!

Born tenacious, never afraid of wind and waves!

Oh, and the legend is because ......

Legends never go out! ”

The lyrics and general melody of this song "Legends-Never-Die" Since Wang Shuo came up with his memory last year, Boss Qiao immediately found a music company to remake it.

Originally, according to Boss Qiao's own ideas, he hoped to find a more famous singer to sing.

But after a series of auditions, Wang Shuo fell in love with a 13-year-old girl at a glance.

Although at this time, the little girl's voice is still a little immature, but in Wang Shuo's opinion, her immature voice is more compatible with the 40-year-old Boss Qiao in artistic conception.

Of course, the main reason why Wang Shuo fell in love with this little girl at first glance was because her name was Taylor Swift.

At the MCI scene, another climax tonight is coming.

In the center of the venue, after Swift finished singing, she suddenly looked at Jordan with the microphone in her hand, and said, "Michael, is life always so painful?" Or was it only when I was a kid? ”

Hearing this, Jordan replied after a two-second silence, "Always." ”

At this moment, the classic conversation between Leon and Matilda from "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" between Swift and Jordan spread around the world......

An inexplicable "unsettled" suddenly surged into people's hearts.

New York, looking at the Wizards' "plot" tonight, which even Hollywood directors may not be able to film, Stern knows that from now on, ......

Whoever dares to stop this Wizards from defending their title is the public enemy of basketball lovers all over the world!

Wang Shuo's roll call begins with the "start", Jordan's affectionate confession is responsible for the "inheritance", "Legends-Never-Die" sung by Swift is responsible for the "turn", and finally the classic movie lines are responsible for the "combination".

After the Wizards' all-in-one "combination punch" was played, on the scene, on the Spurs' bench, Sima Bobo was already dead.

Sima Bobo knows very well that even if he returns to San Antonio, the Spurs will not have any home-court advantage at that time, let alone this G2 battle!

Even, as long as the Spurs players dare to move a little more on the court, just the spitting stars of the fans after the game can drown this Spurs!

No!

Is it necessary for you to do this well?

Yes, I'll admit that we had a little bit of a "little misunderstanding" before, but right now, in this series, we're the Spurs who don't have the advantage, okay?

On the sidelines, on the bench of the Wizards, Sima Bobo may not believe it, but it is really because the opponent of the Wizards' finals this year may be the Spurs, so Wang Shuo will save this "big move" until now.

After all, even if the odds can use force to deter this Spurs.

Wang Shuo was also reluctant to use Jordan's "second masters" to fight with the Spurs players.

In addition, as a "perfectionist", Wang Shuo doesn't want to ruin this year's retirement tour of Boss Joe because of the Spurs.

MCI Center, after this special "farewell ceremony", the big screen on the scene immediately gave the starters of the two teams tonight:

Spurs: Robinson, Duncan, Bowen, Malik Rose, Parker.

Wizards: Haywood, Gasol, Jordan, Hamilton, Arenas.

Although before the start of the finals, Wang Shuo had considered putting Boss Qiao on the bench, but considering that in that case, Boss Qiao would be very faceless, therefore, after thinking twice, Wang Shuo finally decided to "suffer" Atai, who had just won the best defensive player.

No way......

There are many wizards, so Wang Shuo can be so willful.

In the center of the court, after the jump ball, the Wizards attacked first.

After Arenas dribbled past halfcourt, the Wizards quickly spread out in a 122 formation.

This season, the Wizards' triangle offense hasn't played much.

But tonight, in order to allow Jordan to enjoy as much cheering as possible in what is likely to be the last home game of his career, Wang Shuo and the Wizards' coaching staff, including the Wizards players, agreed that the Wizards should focus on the triangle offense.

Compared with the G1 battle, this time Bowen also showed the strength to carry Jordan.

He didn't dare to stretch out his hand on the field, how could he be able to carry this Danzi weighing more than 110 kilograms?

Boom, boom!

On the field, after slamming his back twice, Jordan suddenly turned over.

Swish!

At the scene, with Boss Joe taking the lead for the team, Wizards fans were completely crazy at this moment!

The heart-rending "Mai Buckle" shouted so loudly that the Spurs players on the field were "heartbroken".

This is by no means an exaggeration!

On the court, the Spurs attacked, and under tremendous pressure, Duncan rarely turned around and missed the board.

Coming back, Gasol, who grabbed the rebound for the Wizards, immediately handed the ball to Arenas.

Parker tried to step forward to delay, but the referee blew the whistle immediately because he had an inconspicuous push in his hand during the grab.

Seeing this, the young Parker wanted to step forward to reason with the referee, but the elderly Duncan dragged him back.

And after rubbing his head, he shook his head again and again and said, "Next, if you can't do it, try not to reach out." ”

After the Wizards sideline ball was released, the team continued to spread out in a 122 formation, creating opportunities for Boss Joe to play in the low post.

Robinson was a very old and spicy ball, and it wasn't until he fully observed the positions of the players on both teams on the court that he turned around and pounced on Jordan, ready to pinch Boss Joe with Bowen.

But at this moment, Danzi was leaning on Bowen for a moment, and suddenly turned in the opposite direction!

While!

It's a pity that Jordan couldn't score the first V-2 of this show.

However, due to Robinson's defense, at this moment, Duncan was also able to fight two in the Spurs' penalty area.

Heywood and Gasol work together perfectly, with the former being responsible for the top man and the latter being responsible for rushing for the frontcourt rebound.

Bang, boom!

Under the basket, the goal that Boss Joe failed to score was successfully made up by Gasol.

0 to 4.

The Spurs possessed the ball, Duncan pulled to the high post to make a wall for Parker, Parker rushed to the free throw line and returned the ball to Duncan, and Duncan dialed the basketball to Robinson the moment he got the ball.

This is the Spurs' signature offense.

But in the face of Haywood's help defense that did not make up until the last minute, the 38-year-old Robinson failed to score the ball.

TNT TV, Barkley lamented: "Sure enough, not every player can play like Michael at the age of 38. ”

This season, Robinson has declined significantly, and the former "admiral" can't escape the fate of being tortured by the years.

On the court, the Wizards' offensive round.

Under the hint of Boss Joe's eyes, the Wizards changed their formation and position, and Gasol and Arenas played high blocking and pick-and-roll.

When defending, Arenas couldn't stop Duncan and Parker's pick-and-roll.

On offense, Parker also couldn't take Arenas and Gasol's pick-and-roll.

After speeding through Parker's defense, Arenas gave the ball to Jordan in time as he watched Rose coming towards his defense.

The Spurs' defense suddenly became chaotic, and in the bottom left corner, after receiving the ball from his idol, Hamilton got up and down, and hew!

0 to 7.

On the sidelines, seeing this scene, Sima Bobo felt that he still underestimated the offensive firepower of this Wizards.

Originally, before the Finals began, in Sima Pobo's view, the Spurs were still able to deal with the Wizards' offense through their defensive system.

After all, in the Western Conference finals, the Spurs' defense successfully passed the test from another offensive team, the Mavericks.

But Sima Bobo obviously forgot that this season in the regular season, the Wizards simply did not play their full strength.

In the first half of the regular season, Wang Shuo's main focus at that time was also to help Arenas and Gasol brush up on data.

As for the second half of the regular season, that's even more to say......

In order to help Danzi brush up the scoring title, only Maddie, who was stunned by the hammer, knew how crazy the wizards were.

Even, before the Finals began, the Wizards played quite casually.

No doubt.

This Wizards team is definitely a fantasy team.

Because for an NBA team, no matter how many giants you have, there is only one basketball on the court.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!

But in the case of Jordan pressing the formation and Wang Shuo coming to the layout......

Let's just put it at that.

You can imagine the U.S. men's basketball team playing the future 06 Greece on the court.

In Wang Shuo's view, if Jordan could not use his prestige and the emotional intelligence borrowed from God to suppress the young players on the team, then no matter how good his tactics are, this Wizards is destined to be a mess.

In the future, the Lakers F4 in the 03/04 season is the best example.

It is true that Lao Malone is always a little older, but Ma Long, whose physical fitness is different from ordinary people, is far from being completely immobile.

And Peyton.

You must know that before joining the Lakers, Payton was even able to average "20+8" per game on the court and lead the Bucks to the playoffs.

But the result?

As a result, Payton, who didn't want to play a triangle offense, simply messed up behind him, and Malone directly became a tool man, and the effect he could play on the court was even worse than the old Horry who could shoot three points at certain times.

Moreover, "OK" itself has also been affected by this, Kobe Bryant is not happy, and O'Neal is not addicted.

Tonight, for Jordan's sake, Wizards players, including Arenas, who are most affected by the triangle offense, are willing to play the triangle offense.

And for the championship, Danzi can also give up his damn low position, so that his group of "second masters" can give full play to their own subjective initiative.

In the NBA, the Wizards of the 01/02 and 02/03 seasons are destined to be the swan song.

Because even if Wang Shuo can use his memory to form one galaxy battleship after another in the future, the NBA does not have a second "basketball god" who can make a group of geniuses willing to assist him.

Perhaps, the "spicy man" who will enter the NBA next season can do it in the future with his brothers' basketball, and let the brothers sacrifice their historical status to assist him.

But like the Wizards, cases that can achieve mutual success are destined to be difficult to replicate.

On the court, when the two teams entered the official timeout in the first quarter, the score gap between the two teams had reached 7-17.

And what scared Sima Bobo even more also happened after this official pause......

That is, after the Wizards replaced Jordan and Haywood, they finally took the DPOY and Jackson Defensive Team of the Year combination.

A team that can make DPOY willing to play on the bench.

If you don't understand, just ask, how terrible is the cohesion of this team?

After the first two trials of the finals, Wang Shuo found that Robinson was really bad, so there was no need for him to continue to use the twin towers against the Spurs' twin towers.

On the court, after the Wizards changed formations, the Spurs attacked.

After a timeout, Ginobili, who was replaced by the Spurs, tried to force his way inside.

Relying on the change of pace, this "demon knife" successfully got rid of Hamilton.

But as soon as Ginobili stepped into the Wizards' hinterland, he understood why his teammate Parker didn't have a lot of desire to assault tonight.

Left Atai, right martial saint.

How do you ask Ginobili to perform his serpentine moves?

Seeing this, Ginobili hurriedly distributed the ball.

But the Argentine, who has always been casual, passed the ball somewhat casually.

This "demon knife" that has not yet experienced a beating in reality obviously needs time to sharpen his blade.

On the court, after using the card to cut off the basketball for the Wizards, Hamilton handed the ball to Arenas.

This season, Arenas, who has been officially crowned as the "Great General", is a fast-break three-point hit!

7 to 20!

On the sidelines, looking at the already sharp Arenas, Wang Shuo now feels that Jordan and Pauline falling out does not seem to be a bad thing for him personally.

Because even he can't guarantee that as this group of Wizards players grows, the Wizards' locker room next season will be as harmonious as this year.

In the NBA, whether it is a team that aims to impact the dynasty or achieve the great cause of the dynasty, without exception, there will be serious intra-team conflicts after two consecutive championships.

Because after achieving two consecutive championships, with the change in the status of the players in the team, no one can guarantee that the teammates who could still work together yesterday will become enemies who fight for the status of the rivers and lakes tomorrow.

Swish!

And on the court, when Wang Shuo was still sighing on the sidelines, because Ginobili made a mistake again, Arenas chased three points and hit again!

And after scoring this goal, Arenas also deliberately raised his right hand and looked at Wang Shuo on the sidelines.

This is a celebratory move unique to Arenas in this life.

Its purpose is to remind the world that Wang Shuo had written that sentence on his hand back then:

The NBA's best shooter, Gilbert Arenas.

At this moment, even if Wang Shuo can comfort himself with various reasons, leaving the Wizards after this season is not a bad thing, but looking at Arenas' sincere eyes at the moment, how can he really be indifferent?

On the Wizards bench, seeing this, Jordan immediately got up and covered Wang Shuo with a towel.

"Before you win the championship, don't let everyone see your embarrassed appearance, you are their spiritual support!" Jordan whispered in Wang Shuo's ear.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

On the court, the first quarter ended, 17-35.

On the Spurs bench, looking at this score, Sima Bobo has even begun to think about G3 and G4.

However, no matter how rational Sima Bobo was, he knew that if G2 was released like this, it would be after G1 and G2 were released in a row......

Does this Spurs really have the heart to fight this Wizards?

Fortunately, in the second quarter of the game, "God Card" Crawford helped Sima Bobo make a quick decision.

Let it go, Greg Popovich, don't lie to yourself, there's simply no team that can beat this out-of-shaped, demoralized Wizards at the MCI Center this night.

At the end of the second quarter, after the halftime, at the beginning of the third quarter, with the wave after wave of offensive climaxes played by the Wizards on the court, with 4 minutes and 45 seconds left in the third quarter, Sima Bobo took the initiative to withdraw all the main forces.

Although the decision was made as early as the second quarter with the help of Crawford, Sima Bobo still chose to hold on until the third quarter.

After all, the grand final......

It's impossible to just put it away.

In the end, the score of this Grand Final G2 battle was 80-121.

The Wizards' devastating offense once again made the fans on the scene and in front of the TV feel the charm of offensive basketball!

……

Two days later, on the 10th, farewell to Washington, the Wizards and Spurs Finals G3 game was moved to the ATT Center arena in San Antonio.

In this game, the Spurs, who returned to their home court, managed to lead the Wizards by 4 points at the end of the first half, allowing the Spurs fans at their home court to see the hope of defeating the Wizards.

At halftime, commentators in both China and the United States believed that the Spurs could bounce back in the G3 game, mainly because Popovich had wisely chosen to give up the first two games of this year's Finals.

In the future, the famous "Cannonbui" said at halftime, "Popovich is really amazing, you see, in the first two games of the finals, he can actually do what he says and let it go!"

To be honest, before this round of the finals started, no one was optimistic that the Spurs would win the championship.

But Popovich is now letting everyone see the possibility of the Spurs turning the tables in this series.

I feel that Wang Shuo is still careless, because he won all two games too smoothly, so that he was somewhat underestimated in this game.

But it can't be helped, young coaches, they all have this problem. ”

In front of the TV, Chinese fans were stunned by this "cannon blowing", and even many fans of Wang Shuo began to worry about Wang Shuo in their hearts.

However, is it really as this "cannon" said, is it because of Sima Bobo's forbearance and Wang Shuo's underestimation in the first half of this G3 game?

In the Wizards locker room, at halftime, Wang Shuo was so angry that he had to smash the TV in the locker room with one punch, and then find a bucket of ice water to pour it over his head.

No, buddy has watched so many NBA games in his last life and this life......

It's not uncommon for buddies to grab FMVP in the finals.

Can......

In the finals to make FMVP things, buddy is definitely the first time to see you!

Because of this life, the Wizards and their young people regard Jordan as their idol.

Coupled with the first two games of the Finals, the Wizards won too smoothly, so that Boss Joe was not as unique in terms of statistics as last year......

So can you believe that this group of Wizards players actually dragged Jordan to the sewer on the stage of the finals in order to help Jordan fight for the eighth FMVP of his career?

"Do you really think we're already champions?" Wang Shuo, who had already wanted to get angry at countless moments in the first half, looked at everyone.

Hearing this, in the locker room, the Wizards players who knew that Wang Shuo was fierce and even dared to smoke Jordan immediately lowered their heads.

On the side, the fortunate thing in misfortune is that Boss Qiao did not lose his mind because of the finals FMVP.

It's not because he doesn't want to take ......

Instead, when he hit the regular season scoring title before, he already felt the ruthless destruction of the years.

Don't look at Jordan and don't say it.

But he knows better than anyone how he came to be the scoring champion this year.

On the one hand, it was his teammates who played hard to pass him the ball on the field, and he himself was desperate to pick the ball.

And on the other hand......

is because the brothers on the road gave him face very much, and gave him the green light in many competitions.

It's really the playoffs, especially this round of the finals with the Spurs......

In tonight's G3 game, you're not so much the Spurs defending Jordan.

It's better to say that Jordan was prevented by himself.

Jordan knows very well that if he has been obsessed with disrupting the team's offensive rhythm for the sake of FMVP, then even if the Wizards win in the end, his FMVP may not necessarily be very glorious.

Of course, Jordan can be so sensible......

It was also because Wang Shuo deliberately pulled him to the toilet before returning to the locker room, and said to him: "Michael, as long as we can win the championship this year, believe me, even if your data is a little worse at that time, David will not send the finals FMVP to others."

Can you understand this? Perhaps, when you are at your peak, David will hack you one or two regular season MVPs, but at this moment, David will definitely not block you in this curtain call performance of yours.

Because David and the NBA need your legend to support the façade! ”

Under Wang Shuo's reminder, Jordan, who suddenly came to his senses, only hated to go back to before the start of the G3 battle at halftime, otherwise he would definitely slap himself a few times.

In the locker room, after Wang Shuo finished getting angry, I saw Jordan take the initiative to admit his mistake with a well-behaved face: "This game was not played well in the first half, and I am willing to take full responsibility for this."

Coach, I promise, in the second half of the game, we will definitely give our best and nibble this G3 battle! ”

After Jordan took the initiative to express his position, the rest of the Wizards players also echoed: "Coach, just wait and see, if you can't win this game tonight, we will collectively disembowelment in front of you." ”

Wang Shuo: "......"

Actually, as long as you know it's wrong, you don't have to have a collective caesarean section.

On the court, after the intermission, CCTV, just when the "cannonball" was still praising Sima Bobo, the holy city, the situation suddenly changed!

In the first attack of the second half, after finding a chance to fire under Gasol's cover, Arenas raised his hand and sniped!

Hmmm——!

53 to 54.

Coming back, the Spurs attacked, and Parker, who burst to the basket, was tackled like fruit by Artai before making a layup.

The Wizards took advantage of the situation to fight back, and Hamilton quickly got it!

55 to 54.

Immediately after, the Spurs attacked, and Duncan scored a strong attack under the basket.

55 to 56.

But before the Spurs could return to full force, Ron Artest hit another three-pointer for the Wizards on the outside after receiving a pass from Arenas!

58 to 56.

Spurs possessed the ball, after blocking and dismantling in the high post, Parker shared the ball with Duncan, who hit the board at a 45-degree angle on the left side, and also hit!

58 to 58.

The Wizards attacked, and after spreading out in a 221 formation, Hamilton cut to the basket and received a wonderful pass from Gasol for a layup!

60 to 58.

On the court, as the offense began to pick up, the Wizards quickly let the Spurs feel the pressure they had felt in the previous two games.

Offensively, the Spurs often have to pay a lot of money to score.

And that's why, with Jordan dragged down the drain by his teammates in the first half, the Wizards trailed by just four points.

Because this Wizards' defense is really fucking tough!

As for defense, once the Wizards' multifaceted offense is no longer obsessed with finding Jordan, it will be difficult for the Spurs to guarantee that every player on their court will be able to match the Wizards.

No matter how good Duncan's defensive awareness is, he can't make up for the right side and the left side for the middle.

CCTV, who felt that he had been slapped in the face, still said when commenting: "Although the Wizards' offense is getting better and better, the Wizards must be careful of Popovich's backhand." ”

Backhand?

On the Spurs' bench, how could Popovich, who was already on the verge of self-isolation at the moment, not know that he had a backhand on this night?

If you don't understand, just ask.

At this moment, Sima Bobo's back hand ......

You can't just swap Steve Kerr, Danry Fee, and Claisketton for the Wizards, right?

However, although Popovich did not have a backhand, he did hide it.

At the end of the third quarter, Wang Shuo, who saw that the Spurs were almost at the height of his physical strength, snapped and sent Wallace, Jackson, Crawford and other new forces to the court.

Relying on the continuous onslaught of this group of new forces, the Wizards successfully broke down the Spurs at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter.

In the final quarter of the game, when Sima Bobo looked at the score with a desperate face......

At the end of the quarter with 2 minutes and 15 seconds left, I saw:

On the scoreboard, 108 to 88.

At this time, CCTV, the "cannon blow" who was still blowing Popovich before, changed his words without blushing and heartbeat: "The depth of this Wizards' lineup is really terrible, and Wang Shuo also allocated the playing time of each Wizards player well." ”

In the end, the finishing score of this G3 battle was 114-96.

In the game, Arenas scored a total of 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists for the Wizards.

Gasol scored 21 points, 10 rebounds and three assists for the Wizards.

In addition, Hamilton, Jordan and Artai also scored 19, 17 and 13 points respectively.

Just like last year, after the Wizards won three consecutive game points, the O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor for NBA teams, arrived in San Antonio the next day, as is customary.

At the same time, Bill Russell also accepted the invitation of the NBA and will attend the G4 game of the Finals on the evening of the 12th.

With the Wizards leading 3-0, the fact that the Wizards successfully defended the title has basically been tacitly acquiesced.

The next G4 battle, in the eyes of most people, has become a battle of honor for the Spurs.

Sima Bobo, who was elected this year's NBA Coach of the Year, has been a lot of tea and food for the past two days.

Because with the Wizards leading 3-0 in the Finals......

The American media are questioning the gold content of his best coach.

Yes, the wizard is strong.

But isn't the Wizards a group of players cultivated by themselves?

It is said that you Popovich will train newcomers...... will develop young players, but why, as soon as they meet the Wizards in the finals this year, they immediately make a decision?

Since most sports journalists in the United States know who their "food and clothing parents" are.

So don't ask......

The question is, how can he Sima Bobo be virtuous, and he is also worthy of being compared with Zhuge Shuo?

On the 12th, the G4 battle of the finals continued at the home of the Spurs.

Before the start of this game, Duncan, who won the regular season MVP this year, was also in a bad mood.

Although Duncan had already tasted the taste of being swept as early as the 00/01 season......

But compared to other rounds of games being swept away......

At least in the eyes of the stars of this era, it is quite a shame to be swept in the Finals.

Duncan can't imagine how people will say about him if he is swept in this year's Finals.

In Wang Shuo's previous life, some people always said that Duncan had a good personality and didn't like to compete with others for fame and fortune.

But the truth is, in the NBA, what star who doesn't compete for fame and fortune can retire with five championships in the future?

In 2000, the reason why Duncan almost swam to Orlando was because the magic drew him a big pie that could make him famous and rich?

On this night, Duncan was definitely the most irritable player on the entire Spurs team.

Because since he signed a contract extension with the Spurs in 2000, in the 00/01 season, he was first "OK" in the Western Conference finals that year and was swept away in his career.

Then, in the 01/02 season, he and his Spurs were once again eliminated by "OK" in the Western Conference semifinals.

This season, to put it mildly, the Spurs have successfully reached the Finals, and he was elected the NBA's regular season MVP for the first time in his career.

Can......

As long as he thinks about the fact that the Spurs have a high probability of missing the championship this year, Duncan will start to think in his mind:

Was it really the right decision for me to stay with Spurs?

After winning the Cup with the Spurs twice in the 02/03 and 04/05 seasons, Duncan can certainly tell himself with great certainty that his decision to stay with the Spurs was the right one.

But what about this moment?

There are always people who naively think that people are immutable.

But history has already told people countless times that people are precisely the most fickle.

On the court, full of grief and indignation, Duncan and his teammates officially ushered in this game called G4, which is actually a "battle of honor".

In the first quarter of the game, Duncan used his performance of 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists in a single quarter to show people how much he didn't want to lose.

But the result was that the first quarter ended, and the Wizards who were playing away led 31-24.

In the second quarter of the game, Duncan played hard to help defend on the court and showed an attitude of giving up everything.

Can......

When Bruce Bowen's defense is no longer dirty, it turns out that the defense of this thing is actually just that.

On the field, the aging "Admiral" is no longer the teammate Duncan can trust.

Parker is sharp on offense, but it will take time to grow now.

The "Demon Knife" really wants to come out of the sheath, but every time it comes out of the sheath, it will be immediately pushed back by the wizard front group.

If you say, when the Wizards ended the three-game last year, O'Neal still had Kobe Bryant's comfort, and Kobe still had O'Neal, a good big brother......

At that moment, when Duncan looks back on the court, he will find ......

He only has himself.

On the sidelines, Sima Bobo's face has been collapsed, not because he can still remain calm in front of the world.

It's because his heart has already been beaten to the collapse by the wizards led by Wang Shuo.

What tactical adjustments do I need to make to deal with this Wizards?

Sima Bobo couldn't find an answer.

And in the second quarter, at the end of the quarter with 2 minutes and 45 seconds left, when Duncan accidentally crashed into the sideline because of a save, he felt as if he had found the answer.

Picked up the basketball on the ground and handed it to Duncan, a respectable opponent, only to see Wang Shuo smile slightly: "The game is not over yet, although you are our opponent, but Tim, I still want to remind you that if you give up now, then this round of the finals is really over." ”

Hearing this, looking at Wang Shuo's handsome face, and then looking back at the Spurs' bench, Duncan got up silently and returned to the court without saying a word.

In fact, this game, as early as the middle of the second quarter, the Spurs were sentenced to death.

Before Duncan's save, on the court, the score of the two teams had reached 57-35 tonight.

As for why Wang Shuo would speak out to "comfort" Duncan, an opponent.

Mainly because Wang Shuo doesn't want this game to end too quickly, otherwise Boss Qiao's data really can't be brushed, what if Stern doesn't send him the FMVP trophy?

At this moment, he Wang Shuo is also very helpless, okay?

Yes, you Sima Bobo don't know how to win, but don't I have a headache?

Do you know how hard I'm right now to make it easier for you to lose?

In Wang Shuo's view, the hope that the Spurs will lose a little slower tonight can only be pinned on Duncan.

Because as the difference between the two teams on the court gradually widens, the only one who still has high morale for the Spurs at this moment is Tim Duncan.

But what Wang Shuo didn't know about this night was ......

What kind of ripple effects will his words to Duncan have in the future......

On the court, half-time, 62-39.

In the third quarter of the game, the Wizards players once again began their frenzied collective feeding to Boss Joe.

Because he knew that every ball Jordan threw next could be the last of his career.

So God knows, in order to be the one who sent the last pass to Jordan, these "second masters" don't want Bilian.

But, even so......

The Spurs, whose morale was getting lower and lower, also failed to catch up with the score.

With 3 minutes and 15 seconds left in the third quarter, Sima Bobo, who couldn't stand the Wizards' "humiliation" of himself so much, decided to withdraw all the main forces.

But at this moment, Duncan was unhappy and said: "The game is not over yet, I want to work harder." ”

Popovich, who thought that his beloved disciple just didn't want to give up, persuaded him: "Tim, come back next year." ”

Duncan shook his head and said, "I'd like to try again." ”

Popovich continued to persuade: "Tim, the other party is no longer playing, he is humiliating us, don't you see? ”

Duncan still insisted: "They fight theirs, we play ours, and as long as the game is over, I don't want to give up." ”

Seeing this, Popovich, who had never seen Duncan so stubborn as tonight, chose to follow Duncan's idea after hesitating again and again.

Okay, if you want to fight, then fight!

Who made you Tim Duncan?

But Popovich, who thought he would be able to make Duncan happy in this way, didn't notice the seed of unhappiness that had grown in Duncan's heart when he returned to the court.

On the court, looking at Jordan, who was talking and laughing with his teammates, Duncan didn't understand.

Why would anyone think the Wizards were humiliating them tonight.

Although in the game, the Wizards' offense was a bit chaotic after playing in the third quarter.

But in Duncan's eyes, their defensive intensity has not diminished in the slightest.

Popovich always said that only a serious attitude to the game can play high-quality defense.

Duncan was once convinced of this.

But in this year's finals, this team can always use their tough defense to stop their own wizards again and again in laughter, but it is an eye-opener for Duncan.

Greg Popovich has always thought that it is his militarized management that allows the Army-like Spurs to remain competitive in the NBA.

But what he didn't know was what really kept him competitive all the time was Tim Duncan. On the sidelines, Wang Shuo, who had already taken out a cigar from his pocket and put on sunglasses, looked at Duncan, who still refused to give up on the field, and said.

On the court, although on this night, Duncan ended up scoring 30 points plus 14 rebounds for the Spurs.

But he didn't change his life for the Spurs after all.

Full time, 121-97.

Moves towards zero with the stub timer.

Before being substituted in the fourth quarter, Jordan, who received a pass from Hamilton and completed the last shot of his career, was already crying on the sidelines.

As for TNT TV, Barkley reported to All-America as soon as possible: "Let's congratulate the Washington Wizards, they successfully defended their title this year!" ”

On the side, Smith chimed in: "Ladies and gentlemen, please dedicate our warmest applause and cheers to this Wizards on their success in winning the NBA championship in the 02/03 season!" ”
