In the battle of Tianwangshan, the home court of the Suns, Li Ang was in perfect condition in the last game.
These factors, for the Spurs, all converge into one word-death.
But the Spurs don't want to die yet.
The high-profile combination of Kidd and Duncan is already working together for the second year.
? At the beginning, many media outlets bragged about the combination of No. 1 point guard + No. 1 forward. This would be a more terrifying existence than the ok combination.
The headline of "Sports Illustrated" at the time was directly: The opening of a new dynasty.
How can it be like Li Ang transferred to the Suns, Li Ang + Jermaine O + Nash, at the time, it seemed that it was just a team of three second-rate stars. .
No matter how second-rate stars form a team, they are still second-rate.
With such high expectations, Kidd and Duncan have never even played in the finals, let alone the championship.
This is really a bit unreasonable.
Whether it's against the Spurs, or against Kidd and Duncan.
None of them can fail this season.
It is very miserable to be praised too high and fall down.
So today's Kidd is very different. He has been very focused since he came out.
After the last game, Kidd received unanimous criticism.
7 points and 8 rebounds, this is really not like the data that a top-paid player should hand over.
Although Kidd is afraid of his wife, he is also a real man with eggs and birds.
Who is a real man who can bear this uselessness.
Kidd is very focused today, and he is bound to show his style and level in the battle of Tianwangshan, and turn around overnight!
Duncan didn't say a word today, and he didn't pluck Ginobili's hair during the warm-up, but concentrated on training mid-range jumpers in various positions.
Popovich was even more frowning. Rumors of Parker's possible departure have now spread, and the San Antonio newspapers are all talking about it.
Originally, the Spurs are not doing well now, and Parker is still out to make trouble, and Popovich is in a state of desperation.
Popovich knew that these news were probably deliberately disclosed by Parker's agent Human.
He is equivalent to giving a hint to other teams in the league: "New tea will be on the market soon, and the big brother who needs it will prepare it quickly."
In short, everyone in the Spurs put on a dead horse today.
But after the game started, don't tell me, the Spurs' combat effectiveness is quite strong today.
Kidd showed his value in the Suns' first offense today.
The moment Nash passed the ball to Li Ang, Kidd and Barry clamped Li Ang tightly.
Li Ang then passed the ball back to Nash, but Kidd stretched out his long arms, and immediately rushed to interfere with Nash's shooting.
Kidd's running on the defensive end is very active, not like a team core at all, but more like a blue-collar who crazily bites his opponent.
Nash made a shot under Kidd's interference, but the ball bounced far and was a long rebound.
Li Ang was just about to grab a rebound, but Kidd got the rebound first.
As a point guard, Kidd was able to grab 7.4 rebounds this season, which is a very outrageous statistic.
Danpi, the second center in the Western Conference, doesn't average so many rebounds per game.
The secret of Kidd's rebounding is different from that of Li Ang. Li Ang uses his big ass and bullet speed to bully people.
But Kidd, he is really very accurate in judging the rebounding point.
It is very suitable for grabbing rebounds that are out of the control of inside players.
After getting the rebound, the Suns retreated quickly without giving the Spurs a chance to counterattack.
Kidd also slowly took possession of the ball across half court, and it seemed that the Spurs had no possibility of any fast break.
But in the crowd, Kidd suddenly passed the ball and found Duncan who ran to the middle distance on the right.
After Duncan received the ball, he didn't need to adjust at all, he was directly in the most comfortable position.
So, Duncan made a jump shot directly. Xiao Ao couldn't react in time, and the interference was half a beat too late.
And Duncan relied on this half-beat opportunity to make the ball steadily!
This ball is not a counter fast break, but it is better than a fast break.
Before the Suns' defense was formed, the Spurs had already scored.
It is worth mentioning that this is the first time the Spurs have taken the lead against the Suns since Li Ang came back.
That's right, the Spurs were crushed for 48 minutes in the last game, and they didn't even lead by a minute.The trinity of the finals, the core and leader of the Suns, and the epoch-making player Li Ang!
Snapped! Turn over and lean back and throw it in. If you throw it, it will be a lore, it seems so simple! "
I don't know why, but Yu Jia who is on the side always feels that Director Zhang's words are full of whales.
However, Director Zhang's words are not rough.
Kidd might be able to turn an underwhelming team into a title contender.
But he couldn't turn a contender into a true champion.
This is the upper limit of a player like Kidd who can't score.
He doesn't have too strong or too outrageous independent scoring ability, and he is struggling in the playoffs.
Li Ang succeeded in winning the lore and took Tianwang Mountain, leading the total score of the series to 3 to 2!
As for Kidd, he was really hit hard.
As long as he can grasp the mid-range shot, he will not lose this game.
But competitive sports are like this, Kidd is really strong, but not the strongest yet!
Li Ang's first lore in the playoffs this season left the fans unsatisfied.
All major TV stations rebroadcasted Li Ang and Jordan's turnaround jumpers frame by frame to compare with each other.
In the end, I found out that it is really a fucking likeness!
I thought that Li Ang's lore was already explosive enough, but I didn't expect that Yao Ming would also give everyone a thrill in the Tianwangshan battle between the Bulls and Pistons the next day!
In this game, the Pistons' defense was very tight, even as strong as Carter was at a loss under such a defense.
Philip Sanders did not break the glory of the Pistons' defense. In fact, as long as the Pistons are together, if you tie a dog to the bench, the Pistons must also be a strong defensive team.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't calling Larry Brown a dog, it's calling him worse than a dog.
In the case of hand-to-hand combat with the Pistons, the shooting percentages of both teams are very low.
By the fourth quarter, it was only more than 60 to more than 60!
The fans were drowsy after watching this game, but they were reluctant to sleep because they wanted to know the result as soon as possible.
Today's battle between the Bulls and the Pistons at Tianwangshan is like a goddess's stocking legs, which are smelly and long.
At the last moment of the fight, neither side has yet to decide the winner.
Until the last 1.8 seconds of the game, a breakthrough throw by Billups passed Yao Ming's five fingers and successfully fell into the net, allowing the Pistons to lead by 1 point in the last 1.8 seconds!
At that time, the Chinese fans almost vomited blood.
Suppressing sleepiness to watch such a game, you told me that I lost?
1.8 seconds, 1 point behind.
No matter how you look at it, this seems to be doomed.
It is too difficult to kill the game in less than 2 seconds.
After the timeout ended, the Bulls players were all very serious.
The live camera was given to Carter, who is the Bulls' best scorer at critical moments this season.
The Pistons also sent Prince to defend Carter. At that time, Philip Sanders told Prince: "You treat Carter as Serena Williams, press him closely, use your hands up and down, and come as you want!"
Prince said, Serena is not as handsome as Carter, it is really difficult for me to bring in!
Artest was on the sideline preparing to serve. At this time, the entire United Center was silent, and no one dared to speak loudly.
Carter put his hands nervously on Prince's chest, ready to break free.
The referee looked at the players who were ready, blew the whistle and gave the ball to Artest.
At this time, Carter had already pushed Prince away and ran out.
But Artest did not give the ball to Carter, but to Yao Ming who raised his hand outside the three-second zone and asked for the ball!
From the very beginning, Carter just feinted!
"Yao Ming, it's Yao Ming!"
Yao Ming received the basketball and turned over and leaned back.
Big Ben and Hamilton, who was the closest to Li Ang at the time, both blocked it, but Yao Ming, who was leaning back, you couldn't guard against.
The reason why the Bulls chose Yao Ming at the last moment was to bully Da Ben's height.
Skiles believes that Big Ben can't prevent Yao Ming from falling back.
As soon as Yao Ming threw the ball under the double-team, the buzzer of the rebound sounded.
The next second
"brush!"
"Lore, lore! This is Yao Ming's first buzzer-beater in his NBA career! For the first time, he led his team to take down Tianwang Mountain! 3 to 2, ladies and gentlemen, 3 to 2! This year, Yao will not Let the team miss the finals!"
The United Center has changed from being silent just now to being full of people, and the sound exploded all of a sudden.
Who would have thought that it would be an Eastern giant who would eventually lead the Bulls to the championship after Jordan!
For two consecutive days, two consecutive Chinese players, two consecutive lore.
The NBA in the past two days is undoubtedly a huge blow to American players.
But for Chinese fans, things suddenly became interesting.
The Chinese Derby in the nba finals?
It sounds incredible.
But this seemingly unbelievable event is already in sight!3 to 2! This year, Yao will not let the team miss the finals again! "
