Wei Xia faced the reporters who came to Philadelphia from all the way, talking and asking about their thoughts on losing the playoffs.

Unexpectedly, the playoffs started in mid-April, and the 76ers did not lose until early June.

"No team has ever won a championship in the playoffs without a single game," said Wei Xia.

There are more and more questions from journalists.

They also mentioned Leonard later.

This name has been mentioned by reporters many times, and it seems that they are optimistic about Leonard's future.

"Kayey Leonard scored six three-pointers today and scored 26 points and 10 rebounds in the game. Did he surprise you?"

For Leonard, Weisha was not reluctant to praise her: "I used to work with some great players, Kobe, the Gasol brothers, Andre Iguodala and now teammates, who taught me the true meaning of the sport, but most importantly, they showed me what I could get with my efforts. I think Kawhi has everything, he listens to his teachings, keeps learning, he wants to win, and he will continue to be better. Obviously, he is a new star now, but his style on the court, his movements make me feel like a veteran who has been fighting for more than ten years."

Such praise rarely appears from Wei Xia's mouth.

It’s not that he doesn’t like to praise his opponent, but that he won’t praise his opponent like he praises his teammates.

Today, Leonard did play well.

They lost, now go back and summarize, the next game will be in San Antonio, and they plan to win all.

That's right, the Sixers don't just want to win a game in San Antonio and get home advantage back.

Instead, you will win the game point directly.

This is the conclusion drawn by the 76ers after the internal meeting.

Their failure of game2 is the failure of the coaching team strategy.

Their big strategy is absolutely correct to run to the Spurs with speed. However, the Spurs' coaching staff took advantage of their advantages and hit the opponent's design. Coupled with the Spurs' abnormal outside feel, the Spurs made 19 three-pointers in the game, breaking their 17 three-point record in a single game set last year against the Heat (a single-game three-point record in the finals).

June 6

76 people flew from Philadelphia to San Antonio.

The Spurs fans who have won the big score have increased their confidence, and they believe that the Spurs will really not mess up again this year.

On the way from the airport to the hotel, Wei Xia called her grandfather.

The one who answered the phone was grandma.

Grandma said that grandpa was in a bad situation and could not speak now. Wei Xia's mood suddenly became sank.

He knew Wayne's schedule, and the time point he called should be the most energetic time of the day.

"How is grandpa's health?" Wei Xia wanted to know more.

"These days have not been very good. He doesn't even want to go out for a ride." Liana smiled.

Wei Xia asked about the situation again and hung up the phone.

They checked in to the hotel and put down their luggage.

After eating something to replenish energy, we will prepare for today's training class, which is game3 at night.

Before coming, the 76ers had decided to win these two away games.

They are serious, and they have no intention of despising the Spurs.

They just think that as long as they perform normally, the Spurs are not their opponents.

The source of confidence may be the two home games that just finished playing with the Spurs. Those two games allowed them to see the depth of each other's lineup and the ceiling of on-the-spot performance.

game2 is the upper limit of the Spurs.

As long as you enter the rhythm and bloom on all sides, no matter how good the defense is, the team cannot fill that hole.

Is game1 the upper limit of 76ers? It's far from it.

That night, during the game.

The two sides met again, but the venue had been replaced by the Spurs' home court at&t Center Arena.

"I sincerely hope you can still feel that great today."

This was what Wei Xia said to Leonard.

If he remembers correctly, Leonard never responds to his trash words.

Including this sentence.

If Wei Xia remembers correctly, every time Leonard talks to him, he will ask for advice on his skills.

Moreover, when he asked for advice, he would lower his posture, which could be seen from his tone and expression. At the beginning, Wei Xia led him astray, and during the finals, he had the intention of preaching and helping him solve his doubts.

The starting lineups of both sides have changed a little.

The main reason is that the Spurs are seeking change.

They sent ace lineup from the start: Duncan, Parker, Green, Leonard and Dior.

This lineup condenses the strongest points of the Spurs, the smartest people, the fastest people, the most accurate people and the most talented people.

Duncan was getting stronger and he actually beat Cousins ​​when he jumped the ball at the beginning.

Then Dior used his ball dealer to send Duncan a wonderful pass.

Duncan entered the basket and flicked Cousins, and found the time difference to score.

2 to 0

Since Cousins ​​was beaten by Duncan in the first quarter of the first game, he has put aside his contempt for the other party.

Just after being hit, he decisively ran to the frontcourt position.

After Rondo passed the ball, Rondo made a fake move to shake his shoulders. Seeing that there was a double team, he simply turned around and jumped up and shot directly.

"Swish!"

"I will never lose to you!" Cousins ​​yelled.

Duncan just replied indifferently: "Good ball."

Just as the Spurs' tactics were about to be unfolded, Duncan had already mentioned the horn position on the left.

Leonard took the opportunity to run, and Weisha had physical contact with Duncan. He knew that Duncan must have movements on his hands, and experienced insiders knew how to play physical contact that the referee could tolerate despite the violation.

Especially those who are called high-quality pick-and-roll screening, small movements in their hands or feet are inevitable when doing pick-and-roll screening.

Wei Xia took the initiative to find physical contact to magnify their small movements.

Even Duncan, the old fairy, could not have thought that his arm would just touch Wei Xia, and the other party would actually wrap around his arm like a python and scream.

At first glance, the referee found that Duncan actually "catched" Wei Xia, which was a bit too much, right?

With a beep, Duncan covers a foul.

"It's rare that you have caused your cover foul, and I will be proud of it until the end of the game." Wei Xia said.

Duncan responded with his unique magnetic voice: "Too humble, wish."

“This is a virtue, td.”

Yes, what a good virtue. Why is Wei Xia obviously very humble from his behavior to his speech, but combined with his actions and tone, he just cannot mark these virtues on him?

What scared the fans the most was that Wei Xiagang caused Duncan to commit a foul.

Then, he took the ball from Rondo at the top of the arc, as fast as a spring man ejected. In the blink of an eye, Leonard was passed!

Leonard's defensive loss exceeded the Spurs' expectations. No one could have expected Wei Xia to break into their inside line so resolutely and so strongly.

Duncan stood up to defend, Wei Xia jumped from the front, pushed Duncan's body with his legs, grabbed the ball with his right hand, and dunked heavily towards the basket in front of him.

boom~~~!

"Wish is so murderous tonight!"

"Just like LeBron who took off his headband last year, LeBron needs to throw away his headband to realize it, and wish seems to be able to enter this state at any time!"

Wei Xia made a move to blow the Spurs out of the game, causing his opponent to completely lose the high morale that had just stolen a victory from Philadelphia.

The smooth transfer of the ball made a mistake under the pressure exerted by Wei Xia.

Rondo steals the ball, Hayward goes down quickly, and Wei Xia constrains the three-point line from outside the three-point line.

6 to 2

"Stay calm, don't worry!" Popovich shouted.

Maybe it would be better if he didn't speak.

Just because of this sentence, the Spurs passed the ball. After five seconds, Leonard used the ball to break into the inside in a strange posture.

Wei Xia didn't want to foul, but Farid flew out from one side and took the ball together.

Of course, he fouled.

Leonard made two free throws at the free throw line, allowing the Spurs' offensive alarm to be lifted.

4 to 6

Leonard failed to relax for long.
