Basketball: Dayao Reopened

Genius remembers this site address in one second: []https://fastest update! No ads!

"Man, judging from the current situation, everyone is not adapting very well, but barely able to train in a training ground without an air-conditioned room!"

Back in Portland, everyone on the Trail Blazers conducted another "steamer" training. This is the third time they have been training with the air conditioner "broken". The NBA guys are worthy of the best in the league. A group of players, three adaptive trainings are over, this group of guys are more adapted to playing in the "steamer" than before.

But the old Nelson, who had finished the training, was not very satisfied with the whole result!

This is only the training ground. By then, the air conditioning in the arena for nearly 17,000 players will be "broken", and the temperature will be much hotter than it is now.

Based on the performance of these guys, the old Nelson can be sure that they will also react uncomfortably!

Of course, this is also normal, it is only 3 trainings after all...

Yao Ming nodded. Old Nelson said that he has no objection. The atmosphere on the scene will definitely be more sultry by then. With the Blazers just adapting to the sultry atmosphere of the training field, it is impossible to fully adapt to the sultry atmosphere of the field. of!

However, his expression didn't feel too nervous. Instead, he comforted the old Nelson: "Don't worry, the Spurs may not be in good shape that night anyway!"

Old Nelson was taken aback for a moment, but soon understood that Yao Ming should have some other preparations! Suddenly there were more questions in his eyes.

He wanted to know what Yao Ming had prepared!

Yao Ming waved his hand and said: "I am not very clear about this! President Steve called me!"

The Trail Blazers lost the second game of the series, and it was not just that simple. The process of that game represented that the Spurs had found a way to deal with the Trail Blazers!

They succeeded in winning the game by restricting the other players of the Trail Blazers and using the "troika" to deal with the "MV" combination.

If the Spurs have been using such tactics, for the Trailblazers, it will not be too good. Vince Carter will not be as good as the first game in every game...

Steve Patterson therefore called Yao Ming: "Man, I think we should give them some extra tricks?"

Yao Ming did not refuse!

He doesn't need to be hypocritical, this is the default unspoken rule in this league, as long as you don't overdo it...

On the one hand, although the current Spurs are weaker than the original Spurs, Robert Horry, who should have been in their lineup, was fooled by Yao Ming to Houston this time, but their strength did not drop too much. Still a championship-level team! If you want to gnaw them down, just relying on the Blazers' current lineup to fight field by field, it may not be possible!

Originally, Yao Ming thought that if the air conditioner was "broken", it would be able to give the Spurs enough interference, but now it seems that the Blazers are also a bunch of eggs. The ability of these newcomers to adapt to the environment is really a bit weak. This has been adapted three times in advance, and it is still impossible to fully adapt.

In this case, I can only give them some more stuff!

One more thing, anyway, the target is Popovich, Yao Ming has no psychological burden at all, not to mention how many people Bruce Bowen has abandoned, just say that the "little emperor" went to Miami later and was not affected by this guy's "air conditioning." Tactics" Do you have leg cramps?

This old man is bad and bad!

LeBron, as the "senior champion", let your brother come to avenge you!

There is a ball to use: Hmm... good reason! You can really talk, Chairman Yao!

"Okay, then Yao, just wait for my good news!"

Listening to Steve Patterson’s excited tone, Yao Ming couldn’t help but mutter in his heart: Sure enough, there are no good people in this circle!

But this is normal. The NBA is just a business league. What's wrong with doing harmless "dirty things" for the sake of your own team?

Besides, it’s not that Steve Patterson is familiar with these things. If others don’t say it, they just say that this time their goal is the Spurs. Popovich is sitting in the general manager’s office and calculating other people’s affairs. , Is also digging a basket!

This time!

This time it is "walking for the sky"!

If you come out, can you still pay it back!

Not to mention, why are the screws on the Spurs away team's basket always not tightened? Isn't it just to make the ball hit the basket so that it doesn't lean so much outside?

Everyone is the same, since you secretly made a move at home, it is now our turn to make a move!

However, although Yao Ming knew that Steve Patterson was going to make a move, he really didn't know what this guy was making! He also has to wait until the training is over before he learns...

At the same time, Popovich was in the hotel's own room, yelling, babbling a lot, and summing it up in one sentence: I have never met such a brazen person!

It's no wonder that he is so angry. It is true that the Spurs have encountered all kinds of "weird" things from the night they moved in from Portland!

First of all, on the night they checked into the Portland Hotel, they just put down their luggage and so on. A burst of penetrating musical noise unhindered the traditional room of their hotel, and then they never stopped.

What is the concert by visual inspection!

Moreover, it seems that it just started...

Although it was seven or eight hundred meters away from the hotel, the sound was just like listening to the scene.

This... can you fall asleep?

Even Tim Duncan, who has seen many worlds, couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

Popovich also hurriedly found the person in charge of the hotel and asked what was going on!

The person in charge of the hotel explained that these two days just happened to be in time for the Portland Music Festival, so these days will be more lively!

"If you are interested, you can also check it out. This music festival has invited many rock bands with the slogan of staying up all night, so you can definitely have a good time!"

I am happy that your grandma has a leg!

When the person in charge of this hotel said that he stayed up all night, Popovich almost swearing.

This is definitely intentional!

Otherwise, why happened to be such a "Portland Music Festival" when the Spurs came to play away?

How many times has Lao Tzu been to Portland, why have you never heard of such a "Portland Music Festival"?

And, more importantly, the open-air plaza next to the hotel is the one that stays up all night...

Popovich used to be a spy, and he would subconsciously start from the perspective of "conspiracy theory" in everything, but there was no problem with his connection, because this concert was indeed deliberately arranged by Steve Patterson.

Of course, he can't arrange such a concert with his ability, but who makes Paul Allen behind him?

There is a saying that "money is not everything". This is definitely true, but when there is enough money, it is equivalent to omnipotence. Paul Allen only took one day to prepare for this concert, and it was all in place. NS……

For this music festival, he spent 10 million!

Of course, for him, this little money is just sprinkling water, which is not worth mentioning!

"Make arrangements, let all the players sleep with earplugs these days, get over it!"

However, even if Popovich guessed it, there is no way. He does not have the ability to stop a concert. Not only him, even the boss behind him, it is impossible to stop the "Music Festival in Portland". "He doesn't have that much energy.

He can only find a way to overcome this problem from his own side.

Earplugs are the only way he can think of, but he himself knows that this method does not have much effect, because sleeping with earplugs also needs to adapt, not everyone is accustomed to sleeping with earplugs.

Moreover, wearing earplugs didn't help much. This concert was all-encompassing. At three o'clock in the morning, there were several heavy metal rock band performances.

Popovich, lying on the bed, almost passed by amidst the exciting music!

The other players may be better, but they are not much better. They were tossed like this. What was the quality of rest of the Spurs this night? Needless to say, you can guess...

Popovich looked at these sleepy eyes the next morning, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Count you cruel!

But what Popovich did not expect was that Steve Patterson prepared him far more than that!

When they came to the temporary training arena, the person in charge of the arena said: "I'm sorry, the circuit maintenance nearby these two days, our air-conditioning equipment may not be available, and it may cause some inconvenience to your training. , I'm sorry, or I can help you contact other temporary arenas..."

"..."

This is too cruel!

You are trying to kill me, Steve Patterson!

Popovich almost cried and said: "Then trouble you, please contact us about other temporary arenas!"

"Okay, but it may be a little far away, I'm afraid it will delay you!" The person in charge reminded.

"It's okay, it's okay, you can contact me!" Popovich said this sentence through gritted teeth. He knew very well that this "a bit far" may not only be a bit far away, Popovich estimated that 1 Half an hour to get to that temporary arena is pretty close!

But there is no way, they can't help but train, right?

But when the person in charge took them to the new temporary arena, Popovich suddenly had an idea in his heart: In fact, it might be better if you don't train!

Because they spent a full 2 ​​hours before they followed the person in charge to the arena.

The players who didn't sleep well in the first place slept in the car, but in this way, the state is even worse.

During the entire training process, Popovich didn't watch. In the end, Popovich still considered the quality of the players' rest. After training for about an hour, he ended the training ahead of schedule and went back to the hotel.

It is equivalent to saying that after working for a long time in the morning, I only trained for an hour, and took another two hours in the car. I returned to the hotel at three or four in the afternoon. When the Spurs and the guys just returned to their hotel, they stayed up all night outside. The "Music Festival" is about to start again!

As a result, the Spurs players who had been tossing for a day did not sleep well that night!

This is just the first game!

I thought that after the first game was played, and the next game was in Portland, Popovich really wanted to cry... I really couldn't beat the rich!

However, they play so many outside moves, which shows that these guys have no confidence!

Popovich used this to cheer the Spurs before the game: "They are afraid of us! They know they can't beat us! That's why they want to consume us. Listen, guys, show your fighting spirit. , This is a war, let us use our final victory to tell all Portlanders that on the basketball court, we still have to rely on strength if we want to win!"

Whether to talk or not, according to local conditions, Popovich is still somewhat capable in this regard.

His ability to feed "chicken soup" does not lag behind those coaches who focus on "soup".

The Spurs guys were refreshed a lot after saying these things. Popovich also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that everyone meant to turn the two days of frustration into motivation. He is not so pessimistic about this game... Instead, he thinks that this is a good thing. Maybe the Spurs have inspired more energy because of this. Don't forget, they are the championship team!

Of course, his optimism only lasted until the Trail Blazers players played. Looking at the fullness of the Trail Blazers who played in the scene of a tsunami of cheers, Popovich found him a little naive.

Can this obvious state difference be filled with fighting spirit?

Yao Ming also noticed the scowling look of the Spurs, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: This effect is really good!

Although Steve Patterson’s off-board moves were not arranged by Yao Ming, Yao Ming specifically went to find out. When he learned that Paul Allen had organized a "music festival" for this event that lasted several days. Again, I couldn't help but sigh: Sure enough, I have to follow a rich boss!

Even "off-the-board moves" can make such a big move!

And the final effect also proved that the money was not spent in vain, and the Spurs were not tossed lightly...

But this is right!

If the extravaganza does not have this effect, can it still be called an extravaganza?

It's not that they were invited to Dabaojian...

This little villain smiled, it really was arranged by them!

Popovich noticed the seemingly non-existent smile on Yao Ming's mouth, and he was more certain that those "music festivals" were not accidental!

"How is it, Yao, are the preparations okay!"

Steve Patterson also came to the sidelines and was just enjoying his masterpiece.

Now that Yao Ming is here, he hastened to "invite credit" to him!

"Very good, buddy!" Yao Ming nodded, and then said silently in his heart: Sure enough, there are no good people in this circle!

The game started soon.

The Trail Blazers came up for the first round, only relying on Gary Payton and Yao Ming's easy pick-and-roll to let the Spurs open the center door, Yao Ming completed the kick with the ball with one hand.

Get two points first.

The Spurs launched a counterattack here. Tim Duncan held the ball in a high position and kept communicating with his teammates on the move, but didn't notice that Gary Payton would steal the ball directly from behind him.

Quick break.

The Trail Blazers finished offensively again.

4-0!

The difference in the state of the two teams was manifested from the beginning. The energetic Trail Blazers cooperated tacitly and attacked quickly. On the Spurs side, even if Tim Duncan stepped forward to command, the others' running positions were a bit slow. .

Popovich looked at the momentum of being suppressed at the beginning, and couldn't help but grab his hair with his hands and his face was helpless. The Spurs didn't encounter this situation at the beginning. Under normal circumstances, he would choose to call a timeout.

But tonight, the Spurs’ state is not good, and they can’t be adjusted through adjustments. They are not good at rest because of poor rest. Don’t say he called a timeout, even if he uses all the timeouts. There is not enough time for these guys to take a nap.

"Huh!"

After the Blazers played a wave of 4-0 on the field, the two teams were deadlocked for about two rounds, but after two rounds, the Blazers broke the Spurs' defense first.

6-0!

Looking at this situation, Tim Duncan had no choice but to attack by himself. I have to say that Tim Duncan is still very stable. After holding the ball in the high post, facing Kwame Brown’s defense, he used the iconic 45 Turn around and hit the board at a mid-range angle.

2-6!

The stability of "Stone Buddha" is fully demonstrated at this moment.

Seeing Duncan score, Popovich couldn't help but say: Fortunately there is Tim!

He no longer knows how many times he talks like this in his heart, and he no longer knows how many times Tim Duncan has stepped up to stabilize the military at such times!

If someone asks Popovich what is the most correct choice in this life, he will definitely tell that person: "The most correct choice in my life is to spend a year waiting for Tim Duncan!"

"Bah!"

After a successful blow, Tim Duncan continued to exert his strength in the following time. Under his leadership, let alone, the Spurs really fought back.

At the end of the first quarter, the score of the two teams also came to a 31-31 tie!

Tim Duncan used 16 points in a single quarter to help the team smooth out the 6-point gap in the opening...

"Good job, old man!"

Popovich gave Tim Duncan a high-five, and at the same time his expression gradually relaxed. He undoubtedly trusted Tim Duncan, and Tim Duncan, who performed so well tonight, convinced him that no matter what tonight. If you encounter any problems, the Spurs can solve them one by one!

No way, you can do whatever you want with Tim Duncan!

"Tim Duncan's offensive in the first quarter was pretty fierce!"

Cheeks stared at the statistics in the first quarter and couldn't help but uttered a word to old Nelson.

"It's pretty fierce..."

With 16 points in a single quarter, the old Nelson must also admit the state of this guy, but he didn't have any worries on his face, but there was a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, as if he saw a beast in a cage.

"Continue to let him fight like this in the second quarter!"

Cheeks nodded and said: "It should be easy. The rest of the Spurs are in a normal state tonight. If it weren't for him to take on so many roles on the offensive end, we wouldn't have any advantage in the first quarter... "

"You can add another fire!"

Old Nelson made the decision. In the second quarter of the game, the Trail Blazers could also push the Spurs' possession of the ball inside. Nath's offensive ability with the ball is definitely not as good as Tim Duncan, plus Yao Ming is defending Nath. , Nath's offensive efficiency is even lower, and Tim Duncan, who can't stand it, can only attack by himself.

"Mad Scientist" watched Tim Duncan start offensively again, and on the defensive end he changed the number four more briskly. Kwame Brown, Karl Malone and Zaza used back and forth.

Tim Duncan was consumed by the "wheel war".

Popovich looked anxious in his eyes. He made several changes and wanted to shift the focus of the Trail Blazers defense to other people. But the Spurs and the Spurs were more aware of Die tonight. Just like Duncan, as long as this guy gets the ball, he is given a chance to play singles. When the others get the ball, they are embarrassed, they are all kinds of double-teaming. If this is normal, the opponent is pressing like this, but for the Spurs, it is playing cooperation. This is a good opportunity, but they really haven't rested in the past two days. Today, the speed of brain reaction cannot keep up with the speed of their hands, let alone cooperate.

As a result, after the lap, it is the most efficient to give the ball to Tim Duncan for singles!

To say that this Tim Duncan is indeed Tim Duncan, obviously like the rest of the Spurs, he did not rest well in the first two days, but his condition can still be maintained at a very high level. The first quarter is solo. Not to mention 16 points, this second quarter unknowingly, the scoring is in double figures again!

Under his strong play, the Spurs actually led the first half by 2 points at the end of the half.

This is Tim Duncan!

Even Yao Ming couldn't help but want to give him a thumbs up!

After Steve Patterson's set of "off-the-board tricks", he can still maintain this state, or this guy is called "Stone Buddha". Sure enough, only the wrong name is called, not the wrong one." nickname"!

If this guy is not called "Stone Buddha", who can be worthy of this nickname!

However, the explosion in this half also made Tim Duncan tired. When he left through the passage of the visiting team, his chest was still undulating.

Well, there is no way. Due to the influence of his state, his recovery rate tonight will be much slower than usual. In addition, the Spurs offensive end supported by him throughout the first half is more expensive than usual. It's much bigger, and all these disadvantages are added together, that is, Duncan, who needs to be replaced by another person, and his legs are weak.

Back in the locker room, Tim Duncan didn't say a word. He just lay down, no one loved the blindfold. He had to seize the hard-won intermission and take a good rest.

It's not just him, the rest of the Spurs players are not much slower than him, only two or three minutes, there are snoring.

No wonder, it’s not that I didn’t sleep well in one night, it’s that I didn’t sleep well in two nights...

Brain fatigue is sometimes more deadly than physical fatigue.

Popovich looked at them like this, and gave up the plan to deploy tactics. Of course, he also knows that as far as the Spurs are tonight, the tactics are useless, and it depends on Tim Duncan’s performance, and The state of these guys in the second half!

Let them take the time to rest...

The Spurs went to rest, and in the dressing room of the Trail Blazers on the other side ~www.novelmt.com~Old Nelson officially said: "Okay, man, for the rest of the game, I hope everyone knows, this It will be a contest of will, and the temperature will be higher than what we have to endure during training. In other words, you will face a worse situation, but you should know that the Spurs will also face The same situation is even worse, because they don’t think that the air conditioner will break down!"

"We have adapted in advance several times..."

"So, guys, grit your teeth and hold on until the end, until you win the victory!"

"I believe you!"

While he was speaking, the Trail Blazers fans in the audience also gradually felt that the temperature in the entire arena was slowly rising, and it soon became sultry.

This made some fans screamed in dissatisfaction, and the dj on the scene quickly explained the reason: "Sorry fans, the air conditioner in the arena has been in disrepair for a long time, the circuit has been aging, there has been a short circuit, and it cannot be started temporarily, but please everyone Fans can rest assured that we have arranged for staff to perform maintenance and will restore normal operation of the air conditioner as soon as possible!"
