Vol 2 Chapter 356: Bowen's melancholy and Durant's last fight for champion

"Too hasty!"
"This season the Spurs are too hasty!"
San Antonio Spurs training hall.
Spurs assistant coach Don Newman looked at the Spurs players on the training ground, frowning all the time.
The Spurs eliminated the Jazz in the tiebreaker and did not relax the Spurs.
Not to mention loosening, it has even become tighter.
because……
The Western Semifinals are here!
Yes is here!
The first round of the Spurs and Jazz tie-break time was May 5, 2007.
The first game of the Spurs and Supersonic Western Conference semifinals was May 7, 2007.
I rested for two days in the middle!
If the Spurs are a young team, two days of rest may be enough.
Take a look at the Spurs players on the training ground.
Tim Duncan: 31 years old.
Bruce Bowen: 36 years old.
Michael Finley: 34 years old.
Francisco Elson: 31 years old.
Robert Horry: 37 years old.
Brent Barry: 36 years old.
Oberto: 32 years old.
Ginobili: 30 years old.
Parker: 25 years old.
In this year's Spurs playoffs, there were nine players averaging more than 10 minutes per game.
These nine players are regular rotation players for the Spurs.
The remaining players have extremely limited playing time in this battle with the Jazz.
In the nine-round rotation of the Spurs in the playoffs, eight of the nine rotation players are over 30 years old!
The average age of these nine people has reached an astonishing 33.34 years old.
What age group of players are these?
The average age of NBA players is 26 years old!
In the history of the NBA, an old team like the Spurs has to go back to the Spurs last season.
Last season's Spurs are old, but this season's Spurs are fortunate.
Last season's Spurs determined the No. 1 position in the regular season.
In the second half of the regular season, the paddling took off.
In the playoffs, the Spurs encountered an offensive team like the Kings in the first round.
Don't look at the Spurs' promotion with a score of 4-2. It looks dangerous.
In fact, it is very easy.
The Spurs' four games have all won 10 points or more, and every move is an eleven or twelve rotation.
In other words, as long as the Spurs are willing, they can beat the king with a little effort!
Last season's Spurs and Kings series, both in terms of consumption and difficulty, are very easy.
The Spurs are even using the King as their opponent.
After all, the Spurs' opponent in the second round is the Mavericks.
It can be said that although the Spurs were very old last season, they really didn't feel the disadvantages caused by their age.
Before playing with the Mavericks, the Spurs only felt the benefits of age, not the physical disadvantages of age.
But this season.
In the second half of the regular season, Yes was forcibly dragged into the five battles.
A bunch of classic cars from the Spurs were forced to race with the supersonic, Lakers, and Nuggets on high-speed cars.
Although the Spurs won the race in the end, it was also very expensive.
After racing with a group of young luxury cars, they haven't waited for their old cars to slow down, followed by another endurance rally on the Gobi Desert with Jazz!
Do you want to be so pitted!
After the same rally as the Jazz ran in seven venues, the Spurs' classic cars were about to fall apart!
The fast-breaking classic cars hadn't breathed a few breaths yet, and spotlights from all over the world came over.
It turned out that a Bugatti Veyron, who praised the new one, drove towards them!
Bugatti Veyron was followed by a bunch of new Dodges.
Although the pile of Dodge is a little bit behind, but can't stand Bugatti Veyron is indeed a powerful and domineering attraction.
The Spurs now don't want to be covered by spotlights.
They just want to find a quiet place to rest and relax slowly.
Duncan is a Maybach that has been driving for ten years. The quality may not be worse than that of Bugatti Veyron, but it is not worse than when it was first shipped.
As for the rest of the Spurs, Audi Mercedes-Benz BMW, which has not been known for many years, is even more so.
This pile of classic cars without rest, relaxation, maintenance, and the spotlight of the media at all times may break down while driving.
Take a look at the number of these media and reporters around the Spurs Training Center.
There are more people than they did when they were fighting the Jazz.
This night's game with the Supersonics is only the first in this series!
These people are not all reporters in San Antonio. Many reporters have also been refused to be outside the training ground. These reporters are a group of big coffee who can't really refuse.
Since he came to the Spurs, he has never seen the Spurs get so much attention.
Even when the Spurs won the championship in 2005.
It can only be said that the limited edition Bugatti Veyron is really powerful.
The most watched Western Conference semifinals in history!
Compared with the attention received by the Spurs supersonic group, the Rockets and Suns group is like a small transparent!
Yesterday, the Rockets were 2-0 by the Sun.
The national news is still looking forward to this round of the Spurs and Supersonic series.
ESPN invited 100 experts, 95 of whom believed that the supersonic can win.
TNT invited 50 experts, 40 of them believed that the supersonic can win.
Even CBS, whose focus is now on the NCAA, has invited 50 expert names, and 45 believe that the supersonics can win.
Today, the United States surveyed fans in 50 US states. All 50 states believe that the supersonics can win!
Even in Texas, where the Spurs are based, 5-1 fans believe that the Supersonics can win.
You know, Yes has just swept the Mavericks!
Plus Yes swept the Spurs in the regular season.
This Bugatti Veyron looks like a Texas killer!
Of course, those expert names are not too much to watch the lively, but those fans simply like Yes.
Rather than saying that this is forecasting and looking forward, it is better to expect.
Yes, after miraculously sweeping the black eight with supersonic speed, their expectations are too great!
Not to mention that in front of the supersonic is their group of unseen classic cars, even Jordan, it can not stop.
So the supersonics do n’t take the Spurs ’overwhelming public opinion seriously, and they do n’t even have the value of reference.
The Spurs' classic cars have also been seen in all kinds of storms and waves, and they will not be crushed by the expectations and pressure of these people like the Mavericks.
But even in this way, every day in your own home is whispered that you are old and ugly, commit suicide, or give the house to the young handsome guy.
Even if you do n’t really commit suicide, it will affect your emotions quite a bit.
Haven't you seen them on the training ground rarely?
I'm really worried that I can't help fighting these people.
It's better to hide in your office and secretly make a deal against the bad water of Yes.
After the manufacture, it was time for a brain to splash on Yes.
By that time, the Spurs' melancholy these days can also be swept away.
Vickey felt his hair fall a little bit faster these two days.
It was not forced by Duncan, but simply forced by Yes.
As a tactical master full of bad water.
It took two days to manufacture, and it was stupefying that it could not produce half a drop of bad water that could be used against Yes.
Yes, it's such an unbelievable!
Based on his assessment of the strength of the Spurs and Supersonics.
In fact, he doesn't need to be so entangled.
Although the United States is now looking forward to defeating the Spurs at supersonic speeds.
But the Spurs are indeed the dominant player.
Normally playing, he is confident of solving the supersonics in six games.
However, solving supersonic speed does not mean solving Yes!
Yes this season, it constantly seems to be falling in the regular season, but in the end it still did not fall.
Not only did it not fall, but also the operation of raising the supersonic speed that fell to the ground time and time again was too scary!
As long as Yes is not resolved, it will always make him feel less at ease.
Although he is confident to solve the supersonic in six games.
But the Spurs really need six games to solve the supersonic, that is the Spurs' huge defeat!
Six games to solve the supersonic, is still too late for the Spurs.
Especially the Spurs' goal this year is the championship!
If you want to win the championship, you really can't drag on anymore.
As far as the Spurs are concerned, if it takes six games to eliminate the supersonics, don't fight the Rockets or the sun in the next round.
The Spurs have the ability to solve the supersonic speed in six games, but the Spurs must kill the supersonic speed in five games!
Within five games!
If there is no Yes and the Spurs face the supersonics, then it will definitely be able to sweep.
The reason he expected the Spurs to lose two games was because of Yes.
Now in order to win the Supersonics in five games, he must find a way to reduce the two possible losses caused by Yes to one, or even zero!
This is a very difficult task.
This season, he and how many coaches want to solve the big problem of Yes.
But it's all up to now, who has solved it?
No one can solve it!
He wanted to find a way to deal with Yes in these two days, but he could only dream of it.
But even if it is a fool's dream, he must do it.
So, these days he is racking his brain.
Crazy watching Yes game highlights, game video.
The more he looked, the more shocked he was.
Yes, there are too many great moments this season.
After watching these highlight videos, he found that Yes has become more terrible than he thought!
Faced with such a terrible Yes, in the regular season of this year, except for the Yes, he has almost used all other tricks!
The Spurs trump card, Bowen and Duncan's 2-2 defense are all used!
The combination of Bowen and Duncan is a killer for any outside player in the league.
In the past, this big killer never failed.
But this time, when facing Yes.
The effect is really limited.
Even from the result point of view, the effect should be said to be very bad, two consecutive losses!
Duncan and Bowen played one each.
The final result seems to be like Yes and Bowen playing Duncan one.
After the Spurs hit the ace of Duncan and Bowen, the record was a two-game losing streak. This is from the result theory, the combination of Bowen and Duncan is invalid against Yes.
But everyone in the game seems to know how much pressure Bowen and Duncan put on Yes.
Especially Bowen.
Bowen won the title of "Yes Terminator" because of his two defenses against Yes.
Did Bowen end Yes?
No.
But from the perspective of the game, Bowen is more like a Yes Terminator than anyone in the league.
If Bowen wasn't there, he expected the Spurs to lose more than two games, maybe three games, or even be eliminated by the Supersonics!
In the face of Yes, he did his best. For the purpose of winning, he used all methods.
Except for the folder.
Wrapped up?
Vickey frowned.
Would you like to try it with a binder?
No way!
Soon, Vicky shook his head fiercely.
The Spurs can't afford to gamble now!
If he changed in the first two matches of the regular season, he would try.
But now, the Spurs really can't afford to gamble, nor can they afford to lose!
If the gambling fails, the binder will not be valid for Yes, and let Yes use his strongest ball control and pass to drive his teammates. The Spurs are equivalent to sending a game!
Don't forget, Yes's 19.9 second championship performance in this year's All-Star Skills Competition, the first operation control ability in history!
Plus Nash certified first pass master in history.
With the exception of the Knicks coach Isaiah Thomas, no one dared to play in front of Yes.
,
This is sending!
The Spurs only need to lose two games. If they lose one game because of a double-team, they will eventually lose three games. Then the Spurs are not melancholy, but cry.
Originally, he only had to play six games. In the end, he was stunned to make a tie-break. Then the Spurs collapsed!
In short, the Spurs are now melancholy, and Vicky is also melancholy.
One step wrong, every step wrong!
After being dragged into the water by Yes, the Spurs have struggled to win the championship this season!
"It seems that I can only hope for Bruce!"
Since no good tactical ideas can be found, it can only hope that the player's personal play.
Now there is really no other way but to hope that Bowen can come up with a better defense in the second round.
If Bowen really defends in a certain game, he is lucky to suppress the game that Yes might lead to win.
The Spurs were successful.
If Bowen can be lucky for the super defensive two games!
Then ...
Sweep? !
If you can really sweep the supersonic speed, the Spurs' chances of winning this year will be greatly increased!
Vicky didn't want to think about so many problems. He thought about it too much. He could solve the supersonic in six games. Then solve it. Think about what he did.
Even if it is for the championship, it will really be sprayed on the rocket or the sun.
The world of playing tactical people is often so thoughtful and tangled!
"Bruce, what are you going to do?"
"Oh, nothing."
Bruce Bowen went and went back.
The expression on his face still looks so confident and full of leadership.
Seeing a faint smile on Bowen's face now.
Teammates are curious.
Bowen was very embarrassed!
Bowen really wanted to cry.
But his face must show a very relaxed and happy look.
After playing against the Jazz, Duncan told him that he intends to retire his jersey at the Spurs.
For him, this was news that made him tangled.
This is the biggest pursuit of his life.
This is also the most important achievement of his career.
Fans all over the world say that his greatest achievement in the NBA is the NBA superstars who were paralyzed before him.
This really misunderstood him.
If not, he really has a higher pursuit.
How could you want to dominate the elbow forest?
This time, letting him go to his office is no longer an expression of his intention to retire his jersey.
"Bruce, if you pass the supersonic within five games, your jersey will always be in the AT & T center!"
The jersey will retire as soon as the supersonics have passed in five games!
No need to even win the championship.
The meaning of this is already obvious.
This did not directly tell him: Bruce, super God, use all your abilities and means to kill Yes, I and the Spurs will not treat you wrong!
If other people say such things, Bowen will think for a long time.
But the person who said this is.
Bowen still trusts the right character.
He let many of them surrender before him, lap by lap, how many people had to do this?
It ’s quite an offense to want to become an Elder League leader. He offends so many people, and he can live in the NBA so smartly and moist, which has a lot to do with his support.
For him, you can spray with the vice president of the league and the referee of the league!
Even if there is no temptation to retire the jersey, he is willing to sell his life.
He is not a white-eyed wolf.
He also knew what it meant to say this to him.
If it is not really impossible, he also hopes that Yes will also surrender in front of him and become a member of the row of apertures around him.
But can he do it?
Can't do it!
He is also unwilling to cooperate with Yes to be two or five!
The Spurs haven't played two or five!
He really didn't want to be the Spurs' first two or five.
He also hopes that the Spurs will not have one or two!
Outside, the Spurs have a poor reputation, but he really loves the Spurs' atmosphere, the dark-hearted, the hot Tim, the cheap Manu and the sullen Tony.
But in the end, he still failed to confess everything ...
Even though it was painful, he still chose to fulfill his selfishness with the dream of his teammates.
"This time in the Western Conference semifinals, my defense against Yes will be zero errors!"
Zero mistakes in defense of Yes!
Very domineering speech.
Even the domineering leader of the Elder Lin was shocked with excitement.
That's Yes!
What does it mean to defend against zero turnovers?
That is a chance not to give Yes!
He really wants to make no mistakes in the defense of Yes, then he is a super god!
Recalling how he was crying when he was just determined, moved and excited by his domineering speech, Bao Wen also wanted to cry.
He also really wanted to make zero turnovers against Yes.
But this does not depend on his strength.
This depends on Yes' acting ...
Congested?
Very disturbed ...
Are you sad?
Very sad ...
Life is always such a fucking, so bad that he wants to find someone elbow.
He was about to face Yes, the one he couldn't even elbow!
In front of Yes, he wasn't the boring three-footed foot.
He is a Husky, he is an ATM, he has been educated by Yes to the shape he needs ...
, Tim ...
Disappointed you ...
The supersonics came to Texas after the University of Texas.
The University of Texas is also home to the Supersonics first round and Mavericks series.
Because of Tucker ’s relationship, Supersonics has a good relationship with the University of Texas.
Tucker is the former captain of the University of Texas.
In the Texas training hall.
Crowded.
The spotlights were clicking.
The camera is constantly expanding and contracting.
This scene surprised many of the University of Texas players in the training hall.
Even if many of them have already seen it, they do n’t know how many times.
But this scene is still so amazing.
In their understanding from an early age, such scenes should not appear on the NBA stage.
"PJ, you said who can win Kevin and Yes?"
"Pj, I heard that you were beaten by Durant one-on-one last year?"
Tucker was embarrassed,
As a defensive fried chicken in the league now, Tucker would like to say, Kevin is what, Nowitzki has been defeated by me!
But it was a fact that he was beaten one-on-one by Kevin last year.
As one of the greatest players in Texas history, he fell into the second round of last year's draft. In addition to being knocked out by the University of Florida in the NCAA tournament, one-on-one blowout by Durant on the training ground is also the key.
Even if he doesn't admit it much, Kevin's one-on-one ability is indeed strong!
"Durant has a great physical talent, he has a height of 206cm and an arm span of more than 220cm."
"His ball-handling skills are exceptionally skillful, quick cross-disguise, turn around, emergency stop jumper and other actions can only be seen on the defender."
"The shooting feels great, and he can score anywhere on the field. No one can block his jumper."
"In this year's NCAA, he is the player with the highest singles success rate!"
"It must be said that his shortcomings are his ability to resist."
"No wonder he is confident to challenge Yes!"
Listening to the reporters around, Tucker nodded in agreement.
On heads-up, Kevin is not as strong as an NCAA player!
"Kevin, do you really want to challenge Yes to the heads-up challenge?"
As Durant's teammate and friend, Augustine was very worried.
He really didn't expect Durant to challenge Yes in today's public training class.
That's Yes!
For Kevin, heads-up is very risky.
Admittedly, if he succeeds, his draft pick will likely skyrocket and his value will be evaluated again.
At the time, Duncan claimed to be the No. 1 player in any year after 1995, just because he killed the NBA star Saint Morion.
Of course, Yes is not comparable to Mourning, and Kevin does not need to kill Yes, as long as he plays well this time.
But what if it fails?
Durant's draft pick is now expected to be 2-3.
His biggest competitor is Yi from China.
Overall, Kevin is still slightly dominant.
Failed, not to mention the second, maybe the first five may fall out!
Durant glanced at the Yesi who was waiting for him on the training ground, and resolutely walked up.
This is his last chance!
"Ten goals, all of you attack, and five successes count as my loss."
All my offense?
Durant froze for a moment.
Finally nodded gratefully.
Yes is creating a stage for him!
"Durant has a strong offense and poor defense. Yes does not want to bully him on the offensive end!"
Hearing Yes' request, the reporters on the sidelines were also in an uproar.
One-on-one heads-up, only defending and not attacking!
Yes, how dare!
In case of losing, it will be interesting.
Soon, the uproarious reporter on the scene became silent!
0 in 10!
That Durant, who was head-to-head in the NCAA one-on-one, faced Yes' defense and scored only one? !
Can't fight, can't dribble, can't make a stable shot, and can't carry himself ...
That all-around almighty Durant was blocked by Yes? !
This year's hot spot is not a parallel? !
The reporters at the scene looked at each other.
Even Supersonic General Manager Presti frowned.
Yez glanced at Durant, who was standing still and motionless in front of him.
His eyes were slightly surprised.
But looking at Durant, who seemed to have lost his soul, Yes said nothing, and turned and walked down the training ground.
On the training ground, only Durant was left alone and lost and disappointed.
His last stroke also failed ...
Is it doomed to be the second?
Maybe, this time I ca n’t even be the second ...
After recovering, Durant left the training hall of the University of Texas sadly under various eyes.
"That kid is really overwhelming!"
Rondo thought disdainfully.
Can Jiuye's heads-up ability challenge you?
Did you hear about Quanli Yes?
The strongest Yes has heard of it!
Jiuye didn't use the strongest ball control in his history, completely gave up the offense, just using defense can seal you off!
Durant has a great reputation in the NCAA this season, and Yers can feel the surprise of these reporters on the sidelines after the end.
"Yes, what do you think of Kevin?"
Seriously ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Tucker didn't expect it to be the result.
His younger brother is really not as weak as the reporters are discussing now!
"well."
well?
Yes is saying that Kevin is good? !
Augustine stunned while eavesdropping.
Would you like to tell Kevin this information?
An overwhelming struggle ...
Durant out of the training hall shook his head mockingly.
At this time, his phone rang the sound of mail.
Look at the mail on the phone.
Durant was stunned ...
