"Again?"
"Still like this?"
"But this time, I won't let victory slip away from my injury."
unacceptable!
Duncan was unwilling to accept this ending again.
Tim Duncan was expressionless.
Yuanyuan's big eyes stared at Kobe.
His eyes were full of firmness.
countless times!
The Spurs have led countless times, only one step away from victory.
But Kobe stood up and ended the Spurs' hopes.
Duncan has suffered so many times.
And this time, Duncan did not intend to accept this result!
He is no longer the rookie he once was.
The Lakers are no longer the dynasty they once were.
There is no reason why Shifo can lose the game again!
Duncan prepared too long for this day and for this moment.
Kobe felt Duncan's unusual look.
"Come on, Stone Buddha."
...
"Tim Duncan!!!" Barkley broke.
Duncan jumped up and slammed Yao Ming's three-pointer out of the field.
Three points!
Yao Ming's three-pointers are recognized in the league as several impossible defensive skills.
It's like Kobe's backward three-pointer, McGrady's dry pull, Iverson's butterfly step, Duncan's board jumper...
These skills can be called invincible!
Whether this invincible skill can score a goal does not depend on the defensive player, but on the hand and physical ability of the shooter.
Yao Ming felt hot in the second half!
He made 3 three-pointers in the third quarter!
The Lakers tied the score directly.
As soon as entering the fourth quarter, Duncan used a domineering block to declare that the Lakers wanted to win the game, and it was not so easy!
"How did he get it?" Yao Ming opened his mouth wide.
Entering the league for a season, his three-pointer was intercepted and prevented before being shot.
But after the shot, it has not been blocked once!
Yao Ming's choice of three-pointers is more cautious, not the kind of shooting against defensive players.
As a result, Duncan rushed from a safe position in an instant, jumped high, and slammed the ball out of the field with his giant palm like a god.
"I know that many people think that the inside is super huge, and the handling of key can never be as flexible as the more flexible outside players." Barkley narrowed his eyes.
"But I want to tell you! Tim Duncan! He is a monster! His key ability is definitely worthy of any super star in the league."
"Perhaps you are used to seeing the Spurs being dominated by the Lakers at critical moments, but I want to say that it was the time of the OK Dynasty."
"And now... times are changing."
...
"This is what the league's most powerful forward should look like!" Popovich nodded in satisfaction.
The game entered the most anxious fourth quarter, when Duncan directly strangled Yao Ming on the defensive end.
Three points are one point more than two points?
Then you won't be able to shoot your three-pointers!
Originally, Popovich thought this game was going to be overturned by the Lakers.
But Duncan did not accept it!
Continuous blocking on the defensive end!
No one can defend the 45° offensive board!
Boom with Kobe!
This is the style that the league's first power forward should have!
This is the perfect invincible power forward in Popovich's mind!
"He will rewrite the history of power forwards. He will become the greatest power forward in history..."
This is the first time after Jordan, Popovich saw a player who can evenly match Kobe at a critical moment!
The current first power forward in history is Karl Malone, who scored more than 30,000 points.
Perhaps Duncan's scoring data will not surpass Malone.
But in Popovich's view, Duncan's influence has surpassed that of power forwards of any era.
comprehensive!
Offensive and defensive! Achieve the pinnacle in any of them!
If it is the peak of Malone, he can't defend Yao Ming.
If Yao Ming can't be guarded, Kobe's offense will not be so difficult.
One link after another!
In this game, as long as Duncan can persist to the end, the Spurs will win!
...
"Three points!!! Kobe scored this overtake three-pointer in the last 11 seconds of the game!"
"Will this be the Lakers' winning ball?"
At the last moment of the Kobe game, against the double attack of Lagabeel and Duncan, he hit the winning three-pointer!
The Lakers players rushed to the court frantically.
The key god!
The of lore!
Staples has fallen into a sea of celebration.
As if their hero brought them victory again in the final moments of the game.
"The game is not over." Kobe glanced at Duncan.
Duncan lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the defense just now, he and Lagabe have reached their limits.
But I can't help it.
However, it doesn't matter if you can't prevent it.
This time, I will make a winning shot.
"Everyone, give the ball to Tim!"
"Understood! Coach!"
...
The admiral serves.
Steven Jackson interfered.
Stockton used Duncan to screen and pulled to the outside, but the moment he was about to catch the ball, Kobe jumped over.
The general did not pass the ball to Stockton.
The long arm waved, but the admiral still passed the ball steadily with his height vision.
It was passed to Finley!
10 seconds!
Finley did not entangle with Bowen, and threw the ball decisively.
Duncan jumped up!
Catch the basketball with both hands!
8 seconds!
Duncan leaned back on Yao Ming, holding the ball in one hand and watching the defense.
6 seconds!
Moved!
Push forward forcibly with your back!
Yao Ming clenched his teeth to withstand it!
4 seconds!
Turn around!
Duncan turned quickly!
A small step directly wiped away Yao Ming.
2 seconds!
Kobe stepped forward to help defend!
Duncan collects the ball.
Three steps into the basket.
1 second!
Supported Kobe with his left hand and threw the ball to the basket with his right hand.
Small toss!
"Beep!" The timer rings!
Basketball hits the board into the basket.
"This time, I held the victory in my hand."
Duncan remained expressionless.
The Spurs players are crazy!
The admiral flew directly and hung on Duncan.
Rajabell hugged Duncan's thigh!
Won!
The Spurs won!
In the final moments of the game, Duncan ended the game with a lore.
Kobe akimbo his hands and shook his head, a little helpless.
At the last moment, Duncan's wingspan pulled the ball away from him.
This lore was thrown in by him.
This year's Spurs are really strong.
"Too strong! Duncan's performance at the last moment is too strong!" Barkley shouted hoarsely.
Watching the ball for so many years.
I have seen the ups and downs of countless stars.
But at this moment he was extremely excited.
"He is the only player besides Jordan who beat Kobe on the key ball!"
"Although Kobe is not in full form, Duncan, who scored 47 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 8 blocks, 3 steals, and 5 turnovers today is undoubtedly a true Buddha on the court!"
"The Spurs, there are champions!" Kenny Smith's words made the fans in front of the TV stunned.
Cut the Timberwolves first, and then defeat the Lakers like this.
It seems that this year's Spurs really won the first championship after the OK Dynasty?
...
"The Spurs are a very good team, and Duncan is the best insider in the league." Harris' words at the press conference after the game made Popovich secretly refreshed.
at last!
Finally, once, the Spurs and the Lakers fought to the end and won.
This is an omen.
It indicates that the Spurs will be absolutely active in the next series!
"Yao Ming did a great job in the third quarter, but he still has a lot of room for improvement." Harris passed Yao Ming's problem.
Yao Ming had to complete a transformation in the second half.
But he was forced back by the stone Buddha!
If Yao Ming takes that step, maybe the situation of the game will be completely different.
Harris didn't worry too much about this.
The growth of a player always requires a process.
After this game, Yao Ming will definitely grow.
"I'm proud of our team!" Popovich praised the players one by one.
"What do you think of Tim's 47 points, 15 rebounds, 6 assists, 8 blocks, 3 steals, and 5 turnovers?"
"He is the greatest player in the league! At the same time he will become the greatest player in history."
"I have been looking forward to that day."
Duncan's performance today is invincible!
At the last crucial moment, he finally scored the crucial goal.
No longer the king of the empty cut, the king of the background!
"What do you think of Kobe's performance, this game Kobe's performance rebounded slightly, scored 31 points, 7 rebounds and 9 assists, and made a turnaround three-pointer at the last minute."
"Kobe's condition is picking up, but at present, it is impossible for the Lakers to rely on Kobe to win the game alone."
Popovich talked freely.
Although Kobe's last three-pointer scared him into a cold sweat, Popovich still felt that Kobe could no longer save the Lakers.
Kobe without O'Neill is no longer the invincible God of War!
...
The loss of the Lakers to the Spurs completely ignited a wave of public opinion in the US NBA.
Lost.
This is the first playoff game the Lakers have lost this season.
The last time the Lakers lost a game at home in the playoffs, it dates back to last season.
Although this season has not been the favorite to win the championship, but the Lakers supporters have always been the league leader.
If there are more supporters, there will be more irrational fans.
When the Lakers have been winning, they are the most avid fans.
Many avid fans even think that the Lakers are still the invincible dynasty.
But when the Lakers lost the game, many people began to question.
Correspondingly, a large number of fans have begun to pay attention to the Spurs, a team that is not well known.
...
May 5, 2003.
Lakers VS Spurs, GAME2.
This home court, the Lakers can't afford to lose.
Losing two home games to San Antonio almost means farewell to the season.
"Coach, I don't think I can prevent Duncan." Yao Ming bit his lower lip and said to Harris with a look of reconciliation.
He is the worst Lakers player to be scolded on social media.
Many Americans in this era have the habit of racial discrimination.
"No, it's you." Harris smiled gently.
There really isn't much hope for winning the championship this season.
Cultivating seed players for the future Lakers is the most important thing.
And the Lakers, the most valuable player, the player with the most room for improvement, who else besides Yao Ming?
"In this series, we will not change our defensive strategy for Duncan."
Harris' words left Yao Ming at a loss.
He really feels that he is not Duncan's opponent, and this is a drag on the team.
but...
"There is nothing to lose in this game." Harris knocked on the tactical board.
"I understand..."
The Lakers and the Spurs started to play in G2.
In this game, Kobe has completely adjusted his state to the peak.
He is ready to fight Duncan!
There is nothing to lose in defending the home court.
"Kobe is deliberately looking for Duncan to single out!?"
At the beginning of the game, the Lakers' play style surprised the commentator Magic.
Kobe is really tough!
Just insist on finding the Spurs' strongest defensive point?
After Kobe and Yao Ming played the pick-and-roll, if they change positions, Kobe does not hesitate to single out Duncan.
If there is no dislocation, Kobe also chose to break through the first time, looking for Duncan to fight physically!
"Foul, Kobe wants to make Duncan's foul!"
Duncan quickly discovered this.
His defensive action could not help but converge.
As a result, Kobe continued to complete difficult layups.
"Hold it! Tim! Get it back on the offensive end!" Popovich yelled from the sidelines.
Kobe and Duncan's confrontation resulted in two results.
One is that Duncan completely blocked Kobe and madly blocked Kobe.
One is that Duncan quickly received a foul.
Popovich is not willing to bet!
Because Kobe lost the bet, he can return to the outside to attack.
And the Spurs lost the bet, Duncan's exit had too much influence on the team!
If the Spurs want to win, they can't risk Duncan's end!
"Tim, do you still hesitate in your heart?" Kobe's lips curled up.
Since there is hesitation, Duncan's actions will inevitably be affected!
Duncan like this ~EbookFREE.me~ is impossible to defend himself!
That being the case! Kobe is full of firepower!
It's a breakthrough!
It is on Duncan's face, using one by one difficult aerial work to complete the goal!
Do you dare to reach out! Just make you foul!
In the half, Kobe scored 21 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals!
Duncan also performed well against Yao Ming, scoring 17 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
At the end of the first half, the Lakers led the Spurs 51:48 slightly.
"Laga! Defend Kobe for me!" Popovich was furious.
He couldn't accept that Lagabe infinitely exposed Duncan to Kobe's offense.
Lagabel's face was heavy.
Can't help it!
He was able to keep up with Kobe's offensive rhythm in the last game.
But in this game, Kobe's state once again rose to a level!
Can't keep up!
The game entered the second half.
The Spurs start double-teaming!
After Kobe got the ball, the outside team directly double-teamed!
Kobe did not hesitate!
Crazy assists to teammates!
Stephen Jackson hit the first three-pointer!
Then there is Xiaoyu!
It rained three minutes for the Lakers!
In order to prevent Kobe from directly attacking Duncan, the Spurs destroyed the entire perimeter defense system!
The Lakers' shooter is obviously online.
A wave of 35:21 in the third quarter, the Lakers pulled the score directly to nearly 20 points!
In the last quarter, Duncan used his strength, but it didn't help.
In the fourth quarter, the Spurs returned to normal defense, and Kobe continued to open unparalleled!
Kobe scored 46 points, 8 rebounds, 12 assists, 2 steals, 1 blocks and 3 turnovers.
Duncan scored 40 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal and 4 turnovers.
In the end, the Lakers beat the Spurs 116:105!
Defending the home court, the Lakers tied the score to 1:1!
