Chapter 41: Fate to meet (1)

The semi-finals in the east and west were about the same time. The first thing was the match between the Spurs and the Kings. Both teams eliminated their opponents 4:1, so after three days of rest, the schedule was scheduled to start.

The arrangements for seven games are No. 2, No. 5, No. 7, No. 9, No. 12, No. 15 and No. 18. Of course, this is just an arrangement. After all, few teams can play a full seven games. Looking at the first round of the eight-group game this season, only the Hornets and the Suns played seven games.

In fact, when the Hornets tried hard to get the Suns in the seventh game, Zhang Weifeng knew that as long as nothing unexpected happened, the Hornets would definitely not be able to pass the Lakers level. Paul of the Hornets only lost more than a dozen points in the MVP competition. It can be said that the most valuable players this season are Kobe and Paul. Now the two compete in the Western Conference semi-finals with their respective teams. It has to be said that this is a good showdown. However, the Hornets are not as strong as the Lakers, and now they have played 7 games.

It is no wonder that Zhang Weifeng is not optimistic about the Hornets being able to advance. In fact, the current Lakers team is definitely the craziest and most gorgeous in the league today. If it weren't for the substitutes, the Lakers' lineup would be one of the best in history. However, even if the substitutes are a bit poor, looking at the 29 teams in the league, there are only a few who can beat the Lakers. If it were to say that they could defeat the Lakers four times in a series, except for the Celtics in the East, the other 28 teams are all hopeless.

Don’t think about the troubles that the Hornets are about to face, Zhang Weifeng now needs to focus more on the game. After all, this opponent of the Kings is extremely terrifying.

On May 2, the Western Conference Semi-Finals finally started. The game was held that day when the Saramento Kings challenged the San Antonio Spurs away. The game was broadcast live by more than 300 sports channels around the world. It can be said that this was a highly-watched game. Countless fans also liberated themselves on this day and stayed in front of the TV early. The local American fans with tickets also appeared at the game early.

A huge screen is hanging above the Att Center Arena. This is a high-tech technology product that can play games on all sides. Now, on the huge screen, the introduction of the starter of this game is appearing.

“San Antonio Spurs (home):

Starting center: Tim Duncan, 211/6 feet 11 inches tall, 118kg, and jersey number 21.

Starting power forward: Cote Thomas, 206/6 feet 9 inches tall. Height 107kg, and his jersey number 40.

Starting small forward: Bruce Bowen, 201/6 feet 7 inches tall, 91kg weight, and 12 jersey.

Starting shooting guard: Michael Finley, 201/6 feet 7 inches tall, weighing 102kg. No. 4 of the jersey.

Starting point guard: Tony Parker, 188/6 feet 2 inches tall, 80kg weight, jersey number 9."

“Saramento Kings (visiting team):

Starting center: Brad Miller, 213/7 feet 0 inches tall, 118kg weight, and 52 jersey.

Starting power forward: Zhang Weifeng, 211/6 feet 11 inches tall. He weighs 115kg and has a jersey number 25.

Starting small forward: Matt Barnes, 201/6 feet 7 inches tall, 103kg weight, and 22 jersey.

Starting shooting guard: Randy Fery, 193/6 feet 4 inches tall. Weight 95kg, jersey number 7.

Starting point guard: Jose Calderon. Height 191/6 feet 3 inches, weighing 86kg, jersey number 8."

As soon as this lineup appeared on the big screen, it immediately attracted the attention of all fans. Duncan actually played center. Although Duncan has always been swaying No. 4 and 5, in most people's perception, Duncan is no.1 among power forwards, and today Duncan actually played center directly. Could it be because Zhang Weifeng played No. 4 position? After all, in this season's regular season matchup, Zhang Weifeng had never had a bad data when facing Duncan, and **Vicci must have considered whether Duncan was guarding Zhang Weifeng or not.

It doesn't matter, anyway, the data that Zhang Weifeng can play is there, so it's better to free Duncan, so that Duncan will not spend too much energy on defending Zhang Weifeng, so that the Spurs' offensive efficiency will be higher. And another change is that in the playoffs, **Victic indeed put Ginobili on the bench again! Veteran Michael Finley Bruce Bowen jointly served as the No. 2 and No. 3 positions. As for the Kings, the starting lineup has not changed much. Barnes performed well in the first round and continued to be appointed as the starting position in this game.

"Welcome to watch the playoffs of the NBA 2007-08 season. This game is a match between the San Antonio Spurs and the visiting Saramento Kings. The warm-up between the two sides has ended, the players have already made preparations, and the game is about to begin!" Barkley said with a smile on his face.

Beside him are Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith. This game was broadcast by TNT Sports Station across the United States, so the three of them appeared on the live broadcast station at the same time.

"Today's matchup situation, Zhang Weifeng faces Old Cott, while Duncan is against Miller. This matchup is interesting, but I believe everyone hopes to see Zhang Weifeng and Duncan directly face off!" Miller said with a smile.

"Duncan is still not easy to Miller. Miller's style of play is already hard, and Duncan will not play very easily when facing Miller. Of course, it is much easier to face Millerbee and Zhang Weifeng." Barkley said.

"Who is this Bao Heijiao going to defend against?" Smith asked!

Indeed, Bowen's role on the court is to defend his opponent's vanguard player. The core of the current Kings team is Zhang Weifeng, and Bowen will definitely not be able to defend himself. If he is on the court, he can only defend the opponent's scorer. Otherwise, there is no need to put Bowen, a guy with no attack ability, on the court.

"I definitely won't defend Barnes! I think **Vic will let him defend Randy Ferye! After all, Randy Ferye is the Kings' No. 2 scorer, and Bowen's task is to defend Randy Ferye, the playoff rookie. It must be like this, absolutely no problem! Bao Hei's feet are on it, so there must be so many tasks." Barkley answered affirmatively.
Chapter completed!
