Chapter 1332 The Stone Buddha is no longer sweeping ~Seek support~
Blacksmithing!
The Spurs' commentary box also said "Oh~" with some regret.
But a ball is nothing. Even mid-range shooters such as Jordan Kobinowitzki and others cannot guarantee every ball. Therefore, the Spurs quickly retreated. Tang Qian found an incompetent player with this ball.
When the ball was cut, the left wing came down. The Spurs didn't follow up in time. Rondo passed the ball in time. Tang Qian seized the opportunity and flew into the sky with one hand.
Danny Green wanted to block Tang Qian's shot, but unfortunately... he was forced to hit it by No. 29 and flew away with one hand!
The person was knocked far away in the air and fell to the ground in a panic.
This ball was given to the Spurs at home, and there was no penalty. Tang Qian glanced at Danny Green, turned around and left without saying anything. But Danny Green himself felt the meaning of that look.
.The meaning of that look is... not interesting! To put it bluntly, Tang Qian has nothing to say to him about scoring this goal.
It's like, it's natural, it should be like this. What would you say to this kind of thing? How would you feel every time you drink water, eat, walk and get dressed? Do you talk more nonsense?
Danny Green was a little annoyed, but the defensive round was over and he could only wait until later.
Sure enough, the Spurs still can't create any opportunities from the outside. The Lakers' defensive focus is here, so they won't let them find opportunities easily. Therefore, they can only give it to the inside, and the routine is exactly the same as before. It was given to Aldrie again.
Odd, then Aldridge quickly gave it to Duncan on the other side.
Duncan's 19-foot shot, shot, basketball... when~
Missed.
Tang Qian of the Lakers got the rebound and then gave it to Rondo. The Lakers played slowly and had no chance after running continuously and gave it to Butler. Butler made a strong three-pointer and hit it! Don't look at it like this. In fact, Bart
LeBron James is already the most inaccurate player on the outside for the Lakers tonight. Therefore, if the Spurs don't change their defense or make no achievements on the offensive end, they will probably be completely pulled apart tonight. Popovich is watching from the court.
The 21st, who has basically never let me down for nearly 20 years, did not call a timeout.
Because the current situation is that even if a timeout is called, it will probably remain the same, there will be no difference.
Open shots and opportunities are available, what else do you want? Facing a strong defensive team like the Lakers, it is actually very rare to have such an open opportunity. What? You still want to give up? Impossible.
.
This is the playoffs.
So...Tim, it's up to you.
Popovich said silently in his heart.
Duncan also concentrated on the ball. He was ready for the ball. He caught the ball and shot it!
Spurs home commentator Sean Elliott was about to shout out Duncan's name, but the "clang" of the basketball made his call stick in his throat. Duncan made 0 of 3 shots.
This was a rare thing in the past. The Lakers also seized the opportunity and Tang Qian made a hard attack. This time he finally caused a foul and made 1 of 2 free throws from the free throw line.
On the defensive end, the Lakers still let go of Duncan of the Spurs, which is also a common practice in the NBA. When someone on the offensive end feels hot, they will keep feeding him the ball. When someone on the defensive end feels bad,
They will keep "letting" him take shots. Don't talk about Duncan, James is a regular like this, so since Duncan made 0 of 3 shots, the Lakers will continue to let him go.
Tang Qian had no intention of going over this time, and stuck Aldridge as soon as he came up. The ball did not pass through Aldridge's hands, and was directly given to Tim Duncan on the other side. Duncan adjusted the ball slightly.
Once, as soon as he took the shot... the arc was deflected. This is, wait, this is... a rebound shot! This is a rebound shot that Duncan rarely appears now!
Although when talking about Duncan, one of the labels is rebound shooting, but this skill has gradually faded out of Duncan's arsenal. Now it can be said that it is used less and less. It suddenly appeared today, and it seems that Duncan also
I was "forced" to the limit by my own performance.
He also wanted, very urgently, to score this goal.
He is one of the most stable historical giants in the playoffs. No one dares to say no to this.
He himself never thought that he would be "unstable".
Shifu Duncan is as stable as a mountain. He probably has never doubted this since he was in high school. Until last year, he was the "No. 21 rookie" who could easily transform at critical moments. Therefore, when the team needs him now,
He always stands up.
Just like the previous 18 years, I shot the ball and waited for the result.
On most nights of Duncan's career, this result was good, and his winning rate said it all. However, at the age of 40, his ball and his hitting were finally unstable.
."Bang~bang~" The basketball bounced out from the basket. It didn't go in!
When Duncan saw that the ball did not go in, he was stunned for a moment, and then seemed a little unbelievable.
Doesn't this look like the season after Garnett completely aged out? I, Kevin Garnett, can't guard against this kind of bullshit? I can't keep up with this kind of bullshit.
Speed? How is this possible?
Is there really no fuel in my fuel tank?
The Spurs surrounded the ball well, but Tang Qian made a mistake, which gave the Spurs a breather. How to play? Still Duncan!
Duncan shot this ball again, hit the board, and missed again!
The Lakers took a long two-point shot near the top arc on the outside and hit the target.
Duncan? How could Duncan play like this? He still had the strength of an All-Star in last year's playoffs! So, how could it be possible to play like this? Impossible! The Spurs' home court suddenly erupted with people cheering for Duncan.
There were various voices, but they were all cheering for this 40-year-old man.
Duncan is the absolute core of the Holy City, the absolute soul of the team, and the No. 1 PF in NBA history. He deserves it all.
The ball was still given to Duncan. Not only is Duncan the soul of the team, but also for this ball, Duncan is indeed the most empty.
If he can't make the shot, the Lakers' defense will undoubtedly be more convenient and tighter against the remaining four players.
Duncan, shot, still missed~
The Lakers played a corner to attract, and then Rondo suddenly broke up Tang Qian. Tang Qian got up and caused a foul, and made 2 of 2 free throws.
The Spurs' offense was still Duncan. After receiving the ball, Duncan did not take a shot directly. Instead, he wanted to get closer to the basket before shooting. The idea was right, but it was a pity... just because of his movement and proximity to the basket, when he shot
The shot was blocked by Lakers No. 29, and the basketball was sent flying through the air. It flew out of the three-point line. Rondo rushed out immediately, brushed up a backcourt rebound data, and then led the rest of the Lakers to start.
Defensive counterattack. Now the Lakers, except Tang Qian, can be used to play outside, so this wave ended directly with Covington catching the ball and dunking with one hand.
Duncan didn't even return to defend this ball. He stood there, a little dazed, with an even more surprised expression on his face than before.
Even Duncan can't control his inner shock and... panic.
He opened his fuel tank cap and looked down. This time it seemed that it really was...
Then he heard the Spurs' timeout, and he shot 6 to 7 times, all of which were open, but...he didn't hit.
He looked back at Popovich, as if he had turned back time and arrived at the time when he first came to the NBA. Many people may not know that Duncan's first shot in the NBA Summer League was defeated by a player who later became less famous.
The player slapped a big fire. Then Popovich satirized Duncan: You are awesome, Duncan. If we choose you, we will definitely be awesome this season.
Duncan was young and energetic at the time, so he pushed back and said, "I told you, old man, don't choose me. If you choose me, you will regret it and mess up everything."
This is the first official communication between him and Popovich in the NBA.
Then came the 19-year sweet period, which has always been "love and boredom".
This time, he looked over and Popovich was also looking at him, but neither of them spoke.
I don’t know how long it has been, but Duncan suddenly became the “unreliable man” on both the offensive and defensive ends. You know, this was something that was absolutely unimaginable before. If someone said this, they would be laughed out of 200% of the time.
Da Ya. But this season, that's what happened. The guy who was nicknamed "Rookie No. 21" by the outside world seemed to have aged completely all of a sudden and ran out of gas.
Even if Popovich can see that this guy wants to continue squeezing his own fuel tank, it is to no avail.
When did the Spurs decline? Is the "Double Germany Era" really a guarantee for the next twenty years? Popovich suddenly felt that he seemed to have thought of certain issues too simply.
Duncan has always been able to "flex his power" at will, which seems to be the most indispensable condition for the team.
Some reporters from the outside world have begun to write articles. For example, Kate Marin, a famous reporter from T.N.T., wrote on her laptop in advance: The Spurs have actually been known to have a destiny a few years ago. It has been known for a long time.
The team knew how to deal with the Spurs, who were in a huge decline. But no one could do it. Passing the ball and smooth tactics became the magic weapon for the Spurs' victory in the following years. In 2014, this team
It brought true team basketball to the pinnacle. At that time, everyone basically knew what to do, but just couldn't do it. Their passing ball and tactics were so strong that they were almost unparalleled in the world.
There is no real strong star, an aging core group, and a bunch of substitutes who look like ordinary players. But they were almost invincible back then. If the Lakers hadn't staged that shocking reversal, I believe 99%
, the championship will belong to them.
It's 2016. In fact, the Spurs are still the same Spurs team. Their playing style has not changed much from 2 years ago. However, they have lost their unparalleled conduct and unparalleled tactical ability. I originally thought that Aldridge would introduce and
Leonard's growth is enough to offset the decline in the former, but now it seems that is not the case. The Spurs' isolation capital is far from offset what they are losing. I think if the Spurs can't solve this problem well,
The brilliance of the Shuangde era may not be as shining as Holy City fans imagined.
By the way, the Spurs' playoff journey this year is over.
They'll have a whole summer to think about this.
…
After the Spurs' timeout, Popovich began to adopt radical tactics in order to narrow the score difference. He basically gave up offensive rebounds from the front and mainly returned to defensive positions. Now...a large number of players cut in and rush wildly.
Offensive rebounds. The meaning is obvious, it is to try hard and see if you can grab more offensive opportunities.
On the defensive end, we still need to suppress the low post and the inside to help Duncan. Don't let the tragedy of the previous two games repeat itself and let the Lakers take away the game in waves relying on their personal ability. However, the premise of doing this is to build on the Lakers' poor outside touch.
Only on a very good basis, otherwise, it would be...
He was shot from the outside and turned into a scarecrow with thousands of arrows piercing his heart.
The Lakers replaced almost all their main players just a few minutes into the third quarter, leaving only Rondo on the court to control the court. At this time, the score difference between the Lakers and the Spurs had reached 37 points. The game was early
The suspense is lost.
Ever since Duncan was let go and hit the iron continuously, this game is actually over.
The Lakers scored 110 points, which is also the highest score for the Lakers in a single game in this year's playoffs. The top scorers were Ariza and Covington, both of whom scored 19 points tonight. Tang Qian due to playing time
It was really too little, less than 20 minutes, so he only got 14 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks and 5 assists. Although from the data, his performance tonight was not very impressive, but Tang Qian did.
He expressed that he was very happy because the team defeated the opponent easily.
I thought it would be a fierce battle, but unexpectedly, it ended so easily.
The fans in the Holy City also had blank faces, as if they couldn't believe that this crucial third game was lost so happily. Or the suspense was basically lost in the first half. It's really hard to accept.
.But in sports competition, you have to accept it even if you don’t accept it. This is the fact.
Tang Qian looked at Duncan. He wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he held back. He would wait until his opponent was completely eliminated before speaking.
The Lakers won the third game of the series 110-90, with a 20-point advantage and a maximum point difference of 37 points.
The big score was rewritten to 3-0.
Although the opponent has not been eliminated in theory, in reality, the dust has settled.
It's just a question of how many games the Spurs can delay.
Or...can't win a single game.
Completely defeated in the Western Conference semifinals.
Some people may not have noticed that after the final sound of the game sounded, the Spurs' No. 21 did not stand up from the bench for a long time. He looked up at the screen above his head without saying a word, wondering what he was thinking.
What.
Duncan,40.
God knows, will the next game be the last of his career, the last 48 minutes?
No one knows. He himself may not know now.
