Chapter 765 No matter how strong the opponent is, he is just an old man
Chapter 765 No matter how strong the other party is, he is just an old man
The 76ers met with the Spurs in the final, which made some media very upset because there was no gimmick.
If the Thunder enters the finals, they can continue to promote the tone of reincarnation and fate.
If the Heat reached the finals, it would be a coincidence that the team they met in the finals for two consecutive years? In the 1997-98 season, the Bulls vs. Jazz. Coincidentally, Jordan on that day wanted to win three consecutive championships like James this season. The Jazz on that day had the best power forward in history at that time - now the Spurs have the best power forward in history today.
Unfortunately, the 76ers were not good at it, and all the three-round series in the Eastern Conference won 4-0 in a straightforward and neat way.
The 76ers, along with the Spurs, Weisha and Duncan, are unprecedented new opponents in the finals.
On the first day of the finals, sports reporters from all over the United States gathered in the Fuguo Center.
A dedicated visit from ESPN and Wei Xia’s feelings about representing the 76ers playing in the finals for the first time.
Wei Xia said bluntly: "I'm not nervous."
In reality, he has played the finals for the Lakers, and in the old days he also played many rounds of finals on behalf of Havlicek. If you want to talk about his experience, he has too rich experience in the finals.
Similarly, the Spurs opposite are also experienced.
In contrast, the 76ers, except for Weisha and Rondo, Hollins and Weaver, the other main players and rotations, have no experience in playing in the Finals.
The victory or defeat of the first game of the final also concerns the record of the 76ers.
If they can win in the first game, they will not only pay tribute to the 76ers in 2001, but also avenge them. They will surpass the 12 consecutive playoff wins set by the OK Lakers who beat the 76ers in the next four games with a record of 13 consecutive playoffs.
If the 76ers lose tonight, they can still share the playoff winning streak with the 01 Lakers.
What's wrong, they are all ranked first in this record, it's no loss.
NBATNT will broadcast the finals live.
The three who appeared at the Phu Quoc Center tonight are considered golden tridents.
ESPN's Golden Voice idol, Groom Albert, two retired NBA players, one is Steve Cole and the other is Reggie Miller.
Before the show started, Miller first congratulated Cole: "I heard you gave a wonderful speech on the board of directors in Golden State, congratulations."
"Thank you, Reggie." Cole smiled.
Although there is no conclusion yet, everyone in the circle knows that Cole will become the new head coach of the Warriors.
Albert turned on the microphone and entered working mode: "Reggie, Steve, what do you think of tonight's game?"
"I like the Spurs' games very much, but the 76ers have not lost a single game in the playoffs so far, so it's hard for me not to support them." Miller voted for the 76ers.
Cole firmly believes that the competitiveness of the West is far above the East, and maintaining invincibility in the Eastern Civil War will not only not become an advantage for the 76ers, but will instead become a disadvantage.
Winning a row will bring people a burden.
"San Antonio plays the most pleasing team basketball ever. As long as they can withstand the offensive and defensive pressure brought by Wish, I think they have a good chance to win a good start," Cole said immediately.
After they finished speaking, Albert summed up a few words, the camera turned to the field, and both sides had finished warming up.
The Spurs' starting lineup is basically normal: Parker, Green, Leonard, Duncan, Split.
The starting lineup of the 76ers has always been meaningless and has never changed.
"Thank you so much. Matt Bonner was not sent to announce that the game has been won by you from the beginning." Weisha said to Leonard.
Leonard...a serious and silent expression that he didn't want to respond at all.
It can be seen that the Spurs want to start the ball.
This can be seen from the fact that they lost the jump ball, but someone rushed towards Rondo.
Rondo's hand took the ball like a sucking stone, and Wei Xia ran.
Rondo took the ball and took the people.
Right ahead of Wei Xia is Leonard. The fight during the regular season gave him some understanding of Leonard's strength.
Perhaps in a few years, Leonard will become one of the best defenders in the league. Now, he is already an excellent 1V1 single-defense hand.
Wei Xia received Rondo's pass and after a sudden tentative step, Leonard's center of gravity was slightly tilted, and his incredibly long hands spread out, enough to cover the wing players outside Durant's defensive control surface.
The teammates around him ran to him, but Wei Xia did not mean to hand over the ball.
His ball has been closed and he cannot continue dribbling. At the high position, he still needs to use fake moves and footsteps to attack. His balls are picked up one after another to pretend to shoot, and he plays every time. Can Leonard's undisturbed face really remain indifferent to the fake moves of the world's number one offensive player?
When Wei Xia's ball was lifted for the third time, Leonard's defense was inevitably shaken.
The moment Leonard shook, Wei Xia was so excited that she used her steps forward and penetrated into the opponent's defensive position. Standing at the high position above the free throw line, she actually threw the ball with a low-handed shot.
Leonard looked behind him in surprise.
"Swish!"
"I miss everything in the finals." Wei Xia turned around and said, "Let me enjoy it more, Kawhi."
Wei Xia left a few words and returned to defense. Leonard turned around and looked at the man - behind him, he wrote not his English name Felix or his Chinese name Wei Xia, but his nickname - "Wish".
He is like a player in the last century, and his popular nickname makes people forget what he was originally named.
Who is Leonard's development template? The Spurs have never revealed it to the outside world. Povich claimed that Leonard has been watching Jordan's video technology, but the development template they set for Leonard is Wei Xia.
Starting from the 3D side of the substitute, gradually develop offense, take over the game, and become the core.
San Antonio believes that they watched Leonard grow up with their own eyes and will definitely become superstars under their gaze. They will never be like the short-sighted Bass family, who has not officially ascended the quasi-leading first person to the Eastern Conference team without any compensation.
Leonard himself also learns Wei Xia as a goal and a benchmark.
It is a great opportunity for him to have the opportunity to ask him for advice in person in the finals.
Leonard has this idea, so it is not difficult to explain why he did not pass the ball after being double-teamed by the 76ers in the next round, but decisively challenged Wei Xia's defense.
The 76ers' attack suddenly appeared.
Hayward originally ran with Green, passed by Leonard, learned the ball from Jordan to break Malone by 98, and gave a black tiger a heart. Unexpectedly, he knocked Leonard's ball off, but it was far from over. Leonard rescued the ball with his long arm, and was under a double-team, forcibly using his arm span to bypass Wei Xia and Hayward's defensive throws.
He didn't vote, but his courage was commendable.
"It's a rare opportunity to see you make a shot that makes Coach Popovich's blood pressure rise." Wei Xia praised as she chased Leonard's butt.
Sure enough, they then heard Popovich's roar: "Kayah, what the hell?"
"Coach, don't scare the child, I'll teach him a lesson for you." Wei Xia actually answered for Leonard.
Popovich almost failed to stand firm. What happened to him who taught his young man Guan Weixia a lesson?
Seeing this scene, Odom said in surprise: "Have Wish already expanded the business of at least one person on the other side to the coaching staff in every game?"
Weaver nodded seriously: "It's very likely."
Wei Xia wanted to beat Leonard, and he could see Leonard crying at least once at the end of the series. This task seems more difficult than winning the championship, but everyone should have such an out of reach. Otherwise, you will be sorry for your uniqueness as a member of the universe.
Everyone is a genius, but some people don’t know which industry they are, so they will lose their talents.
Wei Xia was not the case. He knew from the first day he entered the league. In addition to the gifts from the old days, his genius was annoying and annoying. With the blessing of these slutty talents, he gave his team an advantage on the court.
Rondo saw Wei Xia's interest in playing against Leonard, and was worried that this guy would play crazy at the beginning, so he decided to slow down.
He raised his right hand and pointed to the side, indicating that Wei Xia's range of movement was in that area, and then the tactics were initiated from the other side.
If nothing unexpected happens, Wei Xia will not be able to get the ball in this round.
He had to take Leonard to run around his area.
On the other hand, Cousins received the pass and pretended to hit Duncan on his back, which actually created a scoring opportunity for Hayward's strike.
They didn't expect Duncan to resist Cousins while using his position to add trouble to Hayward.
There are many kinds of good defense, but the best defense at the basket is undoubtedly Duncan at this moment.
He didn't jump or move, but he was guarding against two people at the same time.
The position he chose, combined with his height and wingspan, was often overlooked by fans, and played the ultimate role under this motionless stand guard.
Duncan's wingspan is unnecessary without an inch in this round.
Even if it is a little short, the defense will not be so good.
Hayward failed to make a layup, Duncan succeeded in defending one and two, but lost the rebound. Cousins took advantage of Duncan's attention to Hayward to stay. Hayward did not make the effort, so he took the rebound and dunked on the spot.
4 to 0
"Ashi, I'll just forget you're shooting outside, it's not suitable for you." Cousins said shamelessly, "I would have come by myself if I had known it. No matter how strong the other party is, he is just an old man."
Cousins was not handsome for 20 seconds.
Duncan ran through the half with the main force, got the ball at the free throw line, returned to the defender, picked and rolled the ball at the high position, pulled it open, and received the ball.
Cousins didn't follow him.
When Duncan saw that Cousins could not hide, he attacked on the spot.
"Swish!"
Chapter completed!
