Vol 2 Chapter 357: ‘Challenge of the Century, Battle of Aegis! ’

AT & T Center Arena, San Antonio, May 7, 2007.
In the Western Conference semifinals, the Seattle SuperSonics challenged the San Antonio Spurs away.
This is the two teams meet again in the Western Conference semifinals after two years.
The Spurs eliminated the Supersonics with Duncan's lore two years ago, and eventually won the NBA championship in the finals.
In two years, supersonic speed has become a reality.
The only supersonic player who remained on the team two years ago was backup forward swingman Wilkins and backup center Nick Collison and Danny Fordson who is still lying in bed because of a stress fracture.
Two years later, the supersonics have also changed from Ray Allen's team to Yes' team.
The team's main force has also been replaced from Daniels, Ridno, Lewis, Jerome James to the current Rondo, Milicic, David Lee and Quentin Richardson.
Compared with the supersonic thing, the Spurs are much more stable.
The same Duncan, the same GDP, and Bowen, who hated the supersonic fans two years ago, were all on the team.
Coupled with Horry, Barry, Yudri and others, the Spurs change more in age.
It seems that the Spurs are only two years older than the Spurs two years ago.
Supersonics and Spurs are rivals in the West!
The Spurs have never used supersonics as an enemy.
Mostly the supersonic fans have always regarded the Spurs as their first enemy in the league.
In the view of many supersonic fans, if it was not the accidental injury of Rashad Lewis two years ago, if it was not the Spurs and Bowen are too dark, the Supersonics have the opportunity to eliminate the Spurs, or even enter the finals to win the championship.
That year was the most recent year for the Supersonics to be the championship.
After that year, the supersonic speed seemed to be cursed, and it gradually fell, and finally ushered in the era of Yes.
It is precisely because of the past grudges of the two teams.
This round is the most watched Western Conference semifinals in NBA history.
The biggest attraction of course is the "War of the Aegis" between Bowen of Spurs 12 and Yes of Supersonic 9!
Yes, the Son of God in the Emerald City!
Bowen, the indestructible shield of the Holy City!
The two men fought against each other in the last two regular season games.
One is to maximize the offense.
One is to maximize the defense.
Especially in the scene where Bald Crawford was blowing violently, Bowen, led by Yes, cried to the court with the applause and cheers of the supersonic fans.
That picture touched the whole world.
That screen was also rated by ESPN, TNT and other media and experts as one of the most touching screens in NBA history.
The highest honor a defensive player can get in the NBA is Bowen of that game.
The biggest praise an offensive player can get in the NBA is that in that game, Bowen would not score, and Yes, who insisted on basketball justice!
When the two teams played before the game and warmed up, the entire broadcast was on Yes and Bowen.
Before the series of Supersonic and Spurs began, the media all over the world were struggling to build the pair of "Aegis CP" of Yes and Bowen.
Fans from all over the world are also looking forward to whether Yes and Bowen can once again stage a super-god battle where both offensive and defensive are reached!
Looking at the figure of Yesi not far away, Bao Wenqiang endured the violent reaction from his body, making him still look so proud and so cold.
And on the other side, Ye Si seemed to have noticed Bowen's gaze, and the two of them were facing each other with their eyes separated.
The murderous eyes of the two people made the commentaries from all over the world and the fans in front of the TV excited!
Look at the murderous look of Yes and Bowen!
These two peerless masters on both ends of the attack and defense have been on the bar since the beginning!
This game, this round of series is destined to be a shocking battle!
"It's the happiness and luck of all fans to see Yes and Bowen showdown in the playoffs!"
TNT's commentary, Barkley said with exclamation.
"Yes is one of the most talented offensive players in the history of the NBA. Bowen is one of the most talented defensive players in the history of the NBA. The confrontation between the two of them is just like that between Jordan and Payton! "
Kenny Smith is also rare to agree with Buckley's words.
"In the NBA, the greatest honor a player needs is against his opponent. Yes and Bowen, this is one of the greatest pair of opponents in NBA history!"
"Yes and Bowen are also one of the strongest offensive and defensive players in the new century. This game is the battle of the strongest offensive and defensive players of the century!
On the court, Yesi and Bowen continued their murderous gazes.
Yesi and Bowen were so murderous when they came up.
This made the Spurs fans on the scene quite excited and excited.
"Bruce is worthy of the league's strongest Yes Terminator!"
"Bruce is the only player in the league who can prevent the off-ball Yes running position. Do you think it's a joke?"
"Bruce is one of the greatest defensive players in NBA history!"
"If it wasn't for Yes this year's defense was equally terrifying, Bruce could have won the best defensive player by virtue of his artistic running position against the ballless Yes!"
Fans are very excited now, players on both teams are very dignified.
The more Yes and Bowen valued each other, the more worried they were.
For the supersonic players, the opposite Bowen is the only player in the league who can defend against the ball without Yes!
For the Spurs players, Bowen has already prevented the off-ball Yes. That is, it is still as simple as drinking water and eating meat.
Instead, the Spurs coach Vickey sitting down the court, he looks very relaxed now.
He likes Bruce's aggressiveness from the start!
Now Bruce is actively looking at Yes?
Now Bruce must be provoking Yes!
In the NBA, any player who provokes Yes will feel overwhelmed.
Only Bruce has this qualification!
Bruce is the only player in the world who can perfectly prevent the ballless Yes!
Bruce is qualified to perform a murderous cross-eyed confrontation with Yes, and is also qualified to make a cruel talk to Yes!
Victory wanted to know what Bowen was saying to Yes with his eyes.
Letting the always cold and calm Yes also show such murderousness, it can be seen that Bruce's status in Yes's mind!
Yes: It's quite playable.
Bowen: You will get used to it if you play more.
Yers: You Spurs players are really interesting, do they all look honest, in fact, a bad stomach?
Bowen: Our Spurs players are not such people, and there will never be such people, you are!
Yers: ...
Bowen: Sorry, I admit that you are a good person.
Yers: ...
Bowen: Give me a chance.
Yes: What do you mean.
Bowen: I can play with you in this game, can you let me go in the future.
Yers: ...
Bowen: Do n’t force me!
Yers: ...
Bowen: Do you think I am the kind of person who sells the team for personal honor? I tell you, you are wrong!
Yers: ...
Bowen: You talk! Why don't you talk!
Yes: What do you want me to say.
Bowen: ...
Yes: I never forced you.
Bowen: ...
Yers: You do n’t have to wait for the next game. You can even not play this game. Now you can not play. Can you do it?
Bowen: ...
Yers: One is the visiting team superstar, the legendary defender who has cheered and applauded until the visiting team fans, and the other is the defensive colander that the visiting team fan sneered, the home team fans spurned, and the home team coach abandoned.
Bowen: ...
Yes: Opportunity is always in your own hands.
Bowen: ...
Yers: Still, you want to be beaten by me, do you want to end in the NBA with shame?
Bowen: I'm sorry, I'm acting.
The silent gaze continued, and Bowen's eyes turned towards Yesi's increasingly murderous.
Bowen was so domineering, and the Spurs players on the court all ignited.
In this world, maybe the only defensive player who can face Yes like this is Bruce? !
"Master today is amazing!"
Even Ginobili from the bench is now standing up.
Ye Si and Bowen's pre-match eye contact is classic!
When the referee bald Crawford announced that the game was about to begin, the commentaries from all over the world shifted from the topic of Yes and Bowen to that of this game.
I have to say that a "heroic matchup" like Yees and Bowen is in line with the appetite of fans all over the United States and the world!
The topic is too full!
"Both teams changed their starters today!"
"At the supersonic side, David Lee returned to the starting lineup again, replacing Tucker as the team's starting power forward."
"On the Spurs side, Oberto replaced Elson as the starter."
"The starting changes of the two teams are well understood. On the Spurs side, Oberto mainly plays forwards. His starting means that Duncan will play more centers. The Spurs are preparing to use Duncan against Milicic!
"And on the supersonic side, the Spurs don't have an offensive player that Tuck can deal with. Leaving Tucker on the court, he can't do anything but disappear."
Looking at the starting lineup of the two teams, Barkley and Kenny Smith were still surprised.
The two teams changed so fast and so resolutely, which represented that the two teams were too familiar with each other.
There is no need to tempt or guess at all, you can directly grasp the opponent's dead hole and hit!
As the current referee bald Crawford ran his basketball high into the air, the highly anticipated Western Conference semifinals of the Supersonics and Spurs finally started!
Milicic and Duncan jumped high.
In the last round of the series and the Mavericks, the jumper also lost to Nowitzki, Milicic defeated the 31-year-old Duncan to win the first wave of the game for the Sonics!
After the baptism with the Mavericks series, Milicic looks much more mature and steady.
After Milicic jumped the ball successfully, the Spurs did not think about it, nor did they make any pressing action on the supersonic speed, and all withdrew their defense!
The supersonic offensive push is extremely fast!
The Spurs really want to stretch the front line so long, it will be a disadvantage.
Seeing a defense like the Spurs, Rondo had some regrets, but he didn't force it up, and the second man's passing performance was gone. What a pity!
Moreover, you guys look at me!
I'm the one who controls the ball!
Watch the game and watch the ball, what do the players without the ball do? !
Rondo, who is holding the ball slowly, now looks rather uncomfortable.
He can feel that whether it is a fan or a player on the court, as well as the coaches on the sidelines, expert reporters, and even the audience in front of the TV, all eyes are now on Yers and Bowen.
Yes and Bowen!
The Son of God in the Emerald City and the Indestructible Shield of the Holy City!
The two were in the first round!
Spurs fans on the sidelines and excitement!
The reporters on the sidelines were also excited!
Both players and attention on the field!
Vicki on the sidelines was looking forward to it!
The first duel between Yes and Bowen was extremely important.
In the regular season, the two proved that their offense and defense were evenly matched.
But the playoffs and the regular season are different.
In the regular season, Yes is a player who can take 20+ per game.
In the playoffs, Yes is a player who can get 30+ in every game!
Yes's strength in the playoffs has increased!
Can Bowen cope with this kind of Yes? !
Vicky's eyes are now looking at the pair of No. 9 and No. 12 on the court, there is no way to look away!
Yes, after a halftime run in a crazy position!
Watching Yes on the court as players continuously move, cut, start, accelerate, stop and start again, the Spurs fans on the court were dumbfounded!
This is the artistic running position of Yes!
The strongest ball-free running position in history!
No, compared to the regular art run in the regular season, the artistic run in the playoffs looks more artistic, more gorgeous, and more difficult to defend!
"I look dizzy!"
Parker is against Rondo, but Rondo doesn't need him to pay much attention, his eyes have always been on Yes and Bowen.
Parker was so dizzy at the start of this incredible series of running positions in this game!
Parker vowed that he didn't need to make two clicks, just one click, he would be completely thrown away by Yes!
And Bowen? !
Once, twice, three times ...
Bowen, are they all keeping up? !
"What level of attack is this!"
"What level of defense is this!"
At the beginning of the game, Buckley stood up excitedly!
"Yes' off-ball offense has reached its limit!"
"Bowen's defense against Yes has been extreme!"
"Yes has no chance!"
"Yes forced shots, incredible shots, incredible shots!"
Watching Yers throw the ball in the middle without any chance.
The Spurs fans suffocated quietly on the sidelines!
After being quiet, a crazy applause sounded again!
"This kind of attack can be prevented!"
"Such defense can hit!"
"Yes and Bowen's matchup in this series is destined to be in the history of the NBA!"
"This is the NBA match of the century!"
"This is the battle of the Aegis of the NBA!"
This is the beginning of the game ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Buckley is crazy!
The expression on the face of Vicki, who had recovered from the incredible magic, was horrified.
Bruce, is this too strong? !
Maybe, can this series really kill the supersonics in five games? !
No, it is even possible to sweep!
Thinking of this, Vicky's face was flushed with excitement-red!
