Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals was a situation that no one expected after the series started.
The Los Angeles Lakers actually recovered from being behind by 3 games, tied their opponents, and forced the San Antonio Spurs to the same starting line. This grand occasion is the only 4 in NBA history.
times, the first three times failed, and "destiny" was not defeated. What will happen this time?
For this game, the league ingeniously arranged a joint live broadcast between ESPN and T.N.T. Under normal circumstances, this kind of situation does not exist. However, as long as the interests are sufficient, in a capitalist society, everything can be discussed. There is no absolute "
"iron rule".
Obviously, this is "deliberately done" by the league. Because all fools know that ESPN is currently firmly in favor of Lakers, so fans of the San Antonio Spurs and fans who hate the Lakers are on this side. The T.N.T side is basically
The division into the "Tinghu" faction may not be complete, but at the moment "interest comes first", they also know what role they should play.
Before the game even started, the ESPN live broadcast room invited a group of "Lake Blacks" to be guests, including Wes Unseld, Jerry Lucas, Rick Barry, John Havlicek.
People are either "dissatisfied" with a certain Lakers player, or they don't like the Lakers at all, such as members of the Absolute Green Army, so all blind people know what this is going on.
If you want to listen to the live broadcast of "Black Lakers" and "Support Spurs", then please tune your TV or Internet signal to ESPN 1. T.N.T has the same "four fixed combinations" as always, Barkley + Kenny.
Smith + O'Neal + Reggie Miller. Although it's hard to say that they are all Lakers, the "distribution" of tasks has been done. T.N.T is the base for "supporting the Lakers" in this game. You want to listen to the game that favors the Lakers
, then please press the remote control to the T.N.T live channel.
Needless to say, in China, we are absolutely "supporting the Lakers" or "supporting Tang Qian". This is a special attribute, and there is no possibility of swinging. Tonight, the host of Tianchao Sports Channel was on Weiping. Tang Qian. Zhang
and Meteor Shower. Since Tang Qian's games were gradually lifted by the "higher authorities", Zhang Weiping's "Tang Mi" attribute has become more and more obvious, and it is almost as good as when he "completely fell in love" with Yao Ming.
Staples Center, starting from outside the court, began to carefully decorate, with large posters of the main players, and printed a large slogan: Defend the home court, create history. Jenny Buss even directly posted on her personal Twitter and
The Lakers' official Twitter said: If this game can be won, everyone in the audience will be able to receive a hot dog and hot drink with a ticket. At the same time, 100 people will be randomly selected and given to all Lakers players.
Her signature, jersey and sneakers. It can be said that before the game even started, she had already done everything a team owner should do.
Let all the Lakers fans at the scene quickly integrate into the game and cheer for the home team.
Tonight's game is a hard-to-get ticket. Except for season ticket holders, the price of temporary tickets has at least doubled than usual. This has also allowed the "scalpers" in Los Angeles to make a lot of money.
Pen.
All in all, the atmosphere of tonight's game will definitely reach a climax, because the momentum in all aspects has reached a high level.
In the Staples Center, inside the home team's locker room, D'Antoni was speaking loudly. Although there was not much new idea, it was still in line with the current atmosphere and scene. After all, this was a game, and the ratings were comparable to those of the general public.
The key battle of the final.
The Lakers want to create history, and the Spurs want to defend history. In this game, there will be no reservations and they will fight with all their strength.
When they entered the court to warm up, players from both sides began to greet each other as usual. Kobe and Duncan were naturally "old enemies." After a confrontation with a strong personal style, the latter actually approached Tang Qian and said, "Hot,
You are really strong, so I also know that your ambition is more than what people expect. And you are in the Lakers, and you will not be able to make a difference this year. You should know that if Kobe does not retire, anyone can take over the Lakers.
There is no chance of becoming the boss."
"What does that have to do with you?"
"Yes." Duncan said: "The situation between Kobe and I is different. I am the type who is willing to be a green leaf and a sparring partner. Haven't you noticed that although I am still the defensive cornerstone of the team, the opportunity to win FMVP has already passed.
I’m no longer here. Tony has now reached a critical point, and Greg is gradually changing his team. It’s time to cultivate a new absolute core for the future.”
"Oh? So what?" Tang Qian said.
"So if you are willing to come to our San Antonio, I can persuade Greg to let you and Kawhi be the boss and the absolute core together, how about it? I believe this condition is something you can't get in the Lakers? So, hot, you
You can think about it carefully during the offseason. This will definitely be of great benefit to your career." However, after Duncan's words, Tang Qian smiled slightly and replied: "Tim, Tim, don't tell me.
What will happen to me in the future with the Lakers? Didn't I tell you last time? In addition to the championship, I want something else. For example, like you, become a label and symbol of a city. And in this situation, you
Do you think I can make it happen in San Antonio?”
"Why not? Coming here can quickly make you one of the absolute core members of the team. Believe me, I will work with..."
"No, no, no, Tim." Tang Qian continued to smile and said, "You still don't understand what I mean."
"I mean, I want to be the absolute only boss, the absolute only core of the team, do you understand? Do you really think that a team can have two so-called bosses? Two absolute cores
?" Tang Qian shook his head and smiled: "The so-called two bosses and two cores are just a nice name for the outside world. You know the O.K combination, you know the Janeway connection, it is said to be dual-core, but in fact? Who would really think that?
A team with two Tigers?”
"So." Tang Qian said in a straightforward voice: "I don't want to play tricks. What I want is the absolute boss position, the absolute core position. Others are not within my scope of consideration. I am not 03 platinum.
Coming from a generation ago, my thoughts are actually very 'old-fashioned'."
These remarks made Duncan stunned. He did not expect that the young man from the East in front of him could not even look down on the most popular term "dual-core". Although Duncan himself had never felt that a team could truly
There can be such a thing as "two bosses". But, isn't this the general thinking of young players today? How does this guy think and think, well, how should I put it, so similar to the players of our era?
However, Duncan still caught the "loophole" in Tang Qian's language and said: "OK, hot, even so, the Lakers are not your best choice. With Kobe here, when will you be able to achieve your 'absolute boss'"
What about the "sole core" goal? The competitive lifespan of professional players is limited. Are you really willing to wait?" This can be regarded as naked "induction". The so-called move with emotion and reason, Duncan
Even though he did it all, he didn't know what kind of "deals" Tang Qian and Kobe had done. Therefore, he was destined to be unable to impress Lakers No. 29.
After all, aside from the fact that the Lakers are my favorite home team since I was a student, I managed to defeat Bynum, squeeze out Howard, get Kobe's promise to hand over the throne, and accept the possible new management.
Next year is the time for me to show off my skills. If you want me to leave at this time, do you think you have a "watt" brain, or do I have a "watt brain"? At this time, who is going to leave and who is the idiot, okay?
Let’s talk about profit. In terms of market, although San Antonio is also one of the top ten cities in the United States, can it compare with Los Angeles? In terms of team exposure and business diversification, how can the Spurs compare with the Lakers?
So, how should I put it, for both public and private reasons, if I leave the Lakers now, I am out of my mind.
Don't talk about Duncan, even if the negotiators come, it will be of no use.
Tang Qian glanced at Duncan, just smiled a little meaningfully, and said: "Don't worry Tim, I won't waste my career life so stupidly. Anyway, you don't need to worry about this. And, now
We are two hostile players. Is it really okay for you to recruit me with such a big fanfare?" Duncan said: "What's wrong? Anyway, we are definitely going to win tonight, so I'm not too early, right?
"
"Definitely win?" Tang Qian frowned and said: "Tim, you really dare to say that, do you think this is still the time when your Spurs team has a big score of 0-3?" Duncan was not angry, but smiled.
Yi said: "No, but we had reservations before. After all, the core of our team is old, and many things cannot be consumed so quickly. But since you have been forced to this extent by the Los Angeles Lakers, then we will not go all out
It’s impossible to break out.”
"Believe me, tonight is the true strength of our San Antonio Spurs team."
"You will definitely be impressed by the culture and team atmosphere of our team."
"Real strength? Are you saying that your Spurs didn't try their best before?" Tang Qian said in a somewhat displeased tone: "You think you can disturb me with such stupid words? Make me care?"
"No, it's hot. You'll know right away whether it's stupid or not." Duncan said before leaving: "Because this is the first time we have done this in the whole season. Hehe, to be honest, maybe we
I don’t even know how strong it will be.”
"So...enjoy it. Regarding my proposal, you can think about it slowly during the offseason. There is no need to rush to give me an answer now."
Looking at Duncan's leaving figure, Tang Qian said angrily: "Really? First time? You don't even know how strong you are? Do you think you can deceive me with such deceptive words? Are you really so strong?
Why did you do it before? It’s nonsense!!!”
But even after saying this, Tang Qian still felt vaguely uneasy in his heart.
After the warm-up, it was time to introduce the lineup. The Spurs' lineup for this game was Duncan + Ginobili + Parker + Leonard + Boris Diaw. It was unexpected. Because of this lineup, the Spurs usually
They were all sorted out during the game. I didn’t expect them to appear so quickly tonight. Why? This lineup obviously has many problems and shortcomings.
What on earth was Popovich thinking?
Mike D'Antoni was a little puzzled, but it wasn't the first time he and the former had played against each other in a series, so he didn't think it was because the "old drunkard" on the opposite side was drunk and confused. There must be something.
What's the reason? What is it? Forget it, I can't figure it out right now. Let's observe and figure it out later during the competition.
The Lakers' lineup is: PG Steve Nash, SG Kobe Bryant, SF Yody Meeks, PF Paul Gasol, C Tang Qian. This is also the most talked about lineup this season.
, "Four Heavenly Kings + an ordinary role player". Everything seems so "beautiful on paper". If only these people could be younger.
Standing in the center circle, Tang Qian competed with Spurs No. 21 Tim Duncan for the ball. Basically, there was no suspense from the moment the competition appeared. Not to mention the 38-year-old Duncan, the 28-year-old Duncan was at his peak.
, that’s not Tang Qian’s opponent for the ball.
Tang Qian has absolute confidence in this point.
The entire Lakers team is also very accustomed to this, so in almost every game, they consciously enter the offensive state first.
The basketball was thrown high by the referee. Sure enough, the Lakers took the ball down first on the 29th and the Lakers got the ball.
Kobe passed the ball to Steve Nash, who advanced from the backcourt to the frontcourt.
Nash called a high pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. Tang dived up to create a wall. Nash cut in and then broke through.
Steve Nash's breakthrough pass has always been a very lethal move, but as soon as he broke in, Nash felt something was wrong. The San Antonio Spurs actually defended a zone defense in the first round???
This is unreasonable!!!
Because generally speaking, it starts with man-to-man marking, and is supplemented by zone defense when needed. Why...
But Nash is Nash after all. He is experienced and calm in times of crisis. Before the zone defense was fully formed, he found a gap and sent the basketball in his hand out. The ball was passed very beautifully, but the person to whom it was passed was...
Meeks. Meeks made a three-pointer, and when~, he missed. Then the four Spurs squeezed into the penalty area, and then tried their best to consolidate the defensive rebounds!
Four people protecting rebounds? This, does this mean there is no need for defensive counterattacks at all?
Are the Spurs crazy? Everyone knows that defensive counterattack is the easiest way to attack.
If you do this, every opponent will stand firm, and every game will become a positional battle and an attack.
Playing like this? Are you sure that the Spurs will not tire themselves out first???
This Popovich, what on earth does he want to do???
D'Antoni looked at Popovich opposite and had a bad feeling in his heart.
PS: Take a rest tonight, I will choose a day on the weekend to continue the 10,000-word burst update~
Xiao Zi will definitely not be vague this month~~~Please support me~~~
