Duncan lost his temper when he was suppressed by O'Neal, and Ginobili was also uncomfortable when he was entangled by Christie.

The mercury-laden offense that the Spurs played in the Suns series was gone in the game against the Lakers!

As it turns out, Parker is still a ways off from truly maturing.

The strength of this Spurs team this season is Ginobili.

In other words, it is Duncan who decides the lower limit of the Spurs, but Ginobili decides the upper limit!

Ginobili can't play the kind of performance in the first round, it is still difficult for the Spurs to win against the Lakers.

The Lakers played steadily, and finally defeated the Spurs 103 to 94, winning the first victory of the series.

For the Lakers, O'Neal scored 29 points, 17 rebounds and 3 blocks, and made 12 of 19 shots, with amazing efficiency.

The big shark has another "blue wave swim" in the Pacific Ocean.

Sun Hao "only" scored 21 points, and he was the same as the first two games in the first round, standing on the outside more often to watch the show.

Do you think this is cool?

That's right, this kind of coolness is something that he and other people can't experience before.

On the Spurs side, Duncan steadily output 27 points and 11 rebounds.

This may be one of Duncan's strong points. Watching him lose his temper when he is suppressed by O'Neal, but his contribution in the game is not lacking.

Some of the Spurs' performances were out of order with Manu Ginobili.

In the previous series against the Suns, he averaged 25+5+5 per game. He only scored 13 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists in this game.

But even so, the Spurs only lost the Lakers by single-digit points, which is enough to show the strength of the Spurs.

It's just that it's an honor to lose, but it doesn't make much sense on the stage of the NBA playoffs.

win.or.go.home, only those who win can stand and continue walking, and those who lose, go home and pack up their fishing rods and go fishing.

At the end of the game, the two teams shook hands. When Sun Hao and Parker shook hands and hugged, they curiously asked why they didn't say hello before the game today.

Parker didn't speak, but turned to look at Popovich on the bench.

Sun Hao soon understood.

This guy Popovich, this is a little opinion of him!

But it's normal, after all, counting this game, Sun Hao can already be called Popovich's sufferer.

...

"The Spurs don't seem to be that strong."

Back to the locker room after the game, Ariza said.

He played well in this game, played 24 minutes, scored 2 three-pointers, and scored 11 points, only 2 points less than Ginobili.

"Children, it's not that they are not strong enough, but because we are too strong."

O'Neal patted Ariza on the shoulder.

Sun Hao couldn't help shaking his head with a smile when he heard it.

O'Neill can always say something that seems normal but makes people laugh.

This may be his exclusive American humor cell.

But Sun Hao knew that the Spurs had never been an opponent that could be easily defeated.

At the beginning, he played against the Spurs in Dallas and reached the tiebreaker for several years. The existence of Duncan, the formation of GDP, and the adjustment ability of Simavich.

The first game was just a test at the hole, and it's time to get into the theme of the next game.

...

Late at night, in the training facility in Los Angeles.

Ginobili is doing one-on-one offensive and defensive training with Bowen.

Bowen is trying to imitate Christie's defensive style, although he is imitating... not very much.

After the training was over, Ginobili sat on the sidelines and gasped for several breaths.

Because of his rise, the Spurs' upper limit has increased a lot, and it has also rekindled the confidence of the management and San Antonio fans in them.

You must know that they have been a championship team in the past few years, but they have always been blocked from the finals by Sun Hao and Nowitzki's Mavericks.

Now that Mavericks team no longer exists, Sun Hao first joined the Lakers, coupled with their increased strength, this is their best chance to regain the championship.

It's just that the loss in the first game made him realize how terrifying the strength of this Lakers team is.

In fact, it can be said very bluntly that if he can't play as well as in the first round, or even better than that, it is not impossible for the Spurs to be swept.

It's just...Christie.

In his heart, he couldn't help complaining about the management of the Kings, not to mention ruining his own team, and indirectly giving the Lakers the last piece of the puzzle! Also made a big boss for the alliance!

Of course, the complaints are the complaints, he knows that what he has to do is not to complain, but to train hard like tonight, and then beat Christie in the game.

It's just that Christie really restrained him.

"Manu, I think you should still attack with the ball more, because that's the way you are best at attacking."

Bowen could feel Ginobili's confusion, and he gave himself advice.

Ginobili nodded, Bowen's words were not wrong.

Giving up your strengths because a defensive player is good at defending is not a wise choice in any way.

Only in that case, he would face to face with Christie in a bayonet fight.

But Christie is old after all, if he has been aggressive, physical fitness will become his advantage.

"Don't have too much psychological burden. I always feel that you are a different player from everyone else. If you release your nature, that may be the stronger you."

Bowen went on to say something very meaningful.

Although the game is dirty, Bowen's resume in the league is still very rich, especially in terms of people.

Ginobili is a typical unconventional player, and his creativity in playing is the highest among all players he has ever seen.

Ginobili nodded thoughtfully after listening.

...

On the second day after the game between the Spurs and the Lakers, the other two groups of games in the conference semifinals also followed.

The first game is the two protagonists of the "Palace of Auburn Hills", the Pistons and Pacers.

The team is still those two teams, the only difference is that Artest is still suspended, and the Pacers have one less outside core.

This is also evident in the game, the Pacers, no one can limit Anthony's performance well.

In the end, in a defensive battle, Anthony scored 28 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists, helping the Pistons beat the Pacers 93 to 82!

You read that right, Anthony sent 7 assists and played James-style data!

This is actually not surprising. In Brown's offensive system, Anthony needs to share the ball more.

So his style of play has been changing since last season, and this season, it's just that he has achieved something!

The game between the Pistons and the Pacers didn't have much suspense, but the following game between the Lone Ranger and the Supersonics gave the fans another boost.

Because of the Lone Ranger team, it overturned again!

Ray Allen made 12 of 20 shots and scored 32 points with a 60% shooting rate, leading the Sonics to a 101-89 victory over the Mavericks!

Bryant felt bad in the first game, making only 9 of 31 shots and scoring 22 points.

This game made fans see two things.

One, Ray Allen is underrated.

The "Three Musketeers" of the Bucks have always given the impression that they have strong scoring ability, but not strong.

Or in other words, they have always been considered "scores".

But Cassell last season and Ray Allen this season have given fans a new understanding of him.

Especially Ray Allen, who can shoot suddenly and has strong key ball ability, is an absolutely qualified team leader.

Second, Kobe's touch is too important to the Mavericks!

Because it occupies a large number of shooting rights, it can basically be said that Kobe's bad hand means that the Mavericks have a high probability of overturning.

Unable to reduce Kobe's shot rights = Kobe's touch determines the team's victory or defeat, which has become the biggest headache for the Mavericks management and coaching staff.

Of course, the strength of the Lone Ranger team lies there, just like they also opened the door black in the first round but defeated their opponents in four consecutive games. Fans still feel that the Lone Ranger team has a better chance of winning.

Well, O'Neill is very happy.

The strength of the Lakers is in stark contrast to the instability of the Mavericks. It is clear at a glance who is good and who is bad.

Even during training for the game, O'Neal said to Sun Hao what he had said before: "That kid Kobe can't win the championship without me!"

Of course, O'Neal is definitely not the only one who has this idea. There are also many fans in Dallas who have begun to miss Sun Hao.

If the player's strength is described by statistics, then Sun Hao fluctuates between 85 and 95, and Kobe fluctuates between 70 and 100!

But the most interesting thing about this world is that you never know what will happen next second, let alone what will happen tomorrow.

When the fans were still complaining about Kobe's performance the next day, the Spurs and the Lakers ushered in the second game of the series at the Staples Center.

Compared with the first game, the Spurs' offense has a very important change, that is, the ball originally controlled by Parker has returned to Ginobili's hands!

The Spurs, go back to their regular style of play this season!

Although Christie still limited Ginobili's scoring very well, but after the whole game, Ginobili sent 13 assists!

13 points and 13 assists!

Ginobili, turned into a playmaker master!

If he also has a system badge, this must be at the Hall of Fame level!

Because some of the balls he played in the game can be described as unbelievable!

For example, after Ginobili broke through, he passed the ball from O'Neal's crotch to Duncan at the basket.gif;

For another example, when Ginobili made a breakthrough and faced Malone in a misplaced position, after an accelerated approach, he used Malone's body to block the defender's sight, and passed the ball from behind Malone to Nesterovic under the basket.gif;

For another example, when Ginobili was forced to the bottom line by Christie's defense, he made an out-of-bounds pass and passed the ball from the right corner to the left corner.gif!

After watching this game, if you use one word to describe Ginobili's performance, that word would be clever; if you use one word to describe it, that word would be coquettish!

Sao out of the water Sao!

And because after Ginobili completely let go of himself in the game, the change of direction for the layup is amazing.

During this game, the on-site commentator gave Ginobili a nickname: Demon Sword!

You can understand it as his enchanting figure when he breaks through, or as his ghostly pass in the game.

But no matter which one it is, it will make you feel like "the word demon knife is more appropriate"!

Driven by him, the Spurs regained the feeling they had in the first round.

Although Sun Hao and O'Neal scored 51 points together, they finally beat the Lakers 115 to 106 to pull back a victory!

After two games, the series was tied 1-1!

After the game, Ginobili hugged Bowen for a long time on the sidelines.

It was Bowen's reminder that allowed him to find the most suitable game method for him!

Rules and regulations are not what he needs to find, what he wants is to do whatever he wants!

Sun Hao took a look at the Spurs after the game.

He had thought that the Spurs would play a little differently in tonight's game, but he didn't expect to witness the birth of the Demon Sword with his own eyes!

Christie's defense is not only against the opponent's scoring, but also against the opponent's pass.

But Ginobili's passes are too unreasonable and too incredible.

When the demon sword is cast into the sun, it will destroy the sky and the earth!

For this Lakers team, this is the first challenge they have encountered since entering the playoffs!

"We like challenges, and a championship without challenges is meaningless."

What Sun Hao said to reporters after the game surprised everyone.

One must know that Sun Hao has always been known for being low-key and humble.

To say that the only one who is not so surprised may be O'Neill.

That damn Jordan breath is coming again!

Everyone will change, Sun Hao is drifting away on the road of the old hooligan!

However, such words are very much to O'Neill's appetite.

The combination of the two of them is not for winning the championship, so why?

Of course, talking about it, doing it is another matter.

After finishing the press conference, Sun Hao and O'Neal returned to the locker room.

The other players had already left one after another, and there were only the two of them left in the locker room.

"I think that Manu guy will play better next game."

O'Neill used his man's sixth sense to judge.

Sun Hao nodded in agreement.

In fact, in this game, Ginobili's offense was not very good. What's more, he played what the Spurs lacked most in the first game: tandem.

He played out, and Christie will definitely be biased against passing the ball when defending. At that time, Ginobili may not be able to stop if he wants to score.

Don't think there is a problem with this theory. After becoming the "Demon Sword", Ginobili, just ask the Pistons in history to know how difficult it is to defend.

"So we need more aggressive offense, you need to attack from the outside more, 3 points are one more point than 2 points."

But what O'Neill said next surprised Sun Hao.

"If it was Kobe, I would never let him do that, but now it's you, and I believe in you."

After seeing Sun Hao's reaction, O'Neal went on to say something that almost moved Sun Hao to tears.

However, it is also understandable.

Because of his experience of partnering with Kobe, Sun Hao really felt like exchanging cake for compressed biscuits for O'Neal.

He is cherishing.

Sun Hao nodded.

What O'Neill said is actually not unreasonable.

In fact, it is similar to the way of thinking when playing with the Mavericks. If you can't defend, you can only play against.

3 points is one point more than 2 points, as long as a certain hit rate is guaranteed, this sentence is the truth.

Of course, this was also verified by Sun Hao in Dallas before.

However, these are just the assumptions of the two.

If Ginobili still plays the same as on the field, then in fact, they pay more attention to his passing and win the game nine out of ten.

...

After a two-day break, the Spurs and Lakers moved to San Antonio for Game 3 of the series.

The big score was tied 1-1, and the third game became very critical.

If the fifth game after the 2-2 tie is the battle of Tianwang Mountain, then the third game is "Little Tianwang Mountain".

During the warm-up before the game, the scene gave cut shots of Phil Jackson and Popovich.

Although it was not as tit-for-tat as Sima Weiqi and Zhuge Nelson, the confrontation between the two was also quite interesting.

One is touted as one of the best coaches in NBA history, and the other is probably the best coach in NBA history.

The Spurs made tactical adjustments in the second game to get back a round, and it depends on the Lakers' adjustments in this game.

Phil Jackson looked at Sun Hao.

No matter how big a player is, what he wants to do must be allowed by the coach.

What he discussed with O'Neill has also been reported to Jackson later.

Jackson's answer is also very simple, just do whatever you want.

This is in line with his character, he likes to leave the game to the players to solve it by themselves.

After the warm-up ended, the two teams started to play one after another.

On both sides, no adjustments were made to the starting lineup.

Amidst the cheers of the fans at the scene, Nesterovic took the lead this time and dialed the ball back to the Spurs' half.

Back to the home game, the Spurs players were obviously more excited than before.

In the first attack, the ball was controlled by Ginobili, just like in the previous game.

Duncan, pull up to the pick-and-roll for Ginobili.

After taking it apart, Ginobili walked in, and Duncan went down from the other side.

Manu Ginobili pulls the ball back fake.

Christie also tensed up immediately, and turned to look at Duncan on the other side.

Just like what Sun Hao said in the exchange with O'Neal earlier, Ginobili's performance in the last game made it hard not to be wary of his passing.

That is, Ginobili dribbled the ball directly from the back and crotch, and changed the ball from his right hand to his left hand.

Show!

Even Christie didn't have time to react, he could only watch Ginobili pass by him, and then scored a light layup!

Ginobili, help the Spurs come out on top!

Sun Hao and O'Neill exchanged glances.

One ball, they've realized that what they've been chatting about before has come true.

In fact, with Ginobili's double quotient, this is basically expected.

If you are afraid of my scoring, I will pass more, if you are afraid of my passing, I will use your fear to score!

This is how a basketball game should be played!

Sun Hao took the ball to the frontcourt. At this time, O'Neal took the initiative to mention the three-point line to provide Sun Hao with a pick-and-roll!

This is to implement what I said before!

Parker got a "James Experience Card" and knocked him down on the south wall!

Sun Hao didn't wait for Nesterovic to pounce, and made a quick three-pointer with one move!

O'Neill has said and done, so there is no need for him to be polite!

The ball passed over Nesterovic's head and spun through the air after a long parabola.

"Shua!"

A crisp sound came from the loudspeaker.

Sun Hao made his first three-pointer, and it went in!

There was a restlessness at the scene.

In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith also exclaimed.

This is not good news for the Spurs.

O'Neill has tormented them enough before, if there is another Sun Hao.

This is to cut a hole and sprinkle salt on it!

On the other hand, Barkley stretched out his hand to signal Smith to calm down.

If this scene needs to be accompanied by words, then those four words are perfect: basic exercises, don't be 6!

2 to 3.

Both teams scored in the first round of the game, um, as O'Neill said, 3 points is one point more than 2 points.

Ginobili continued to hold the ball in the frontcourt, and he made another frontal breakthrough in the face of Christie's defense.

The difference is that he didn't use a false pass this time, but directly made a layup with a close-fitting European step!

And what's different from the previous two games is that the magnitude of his European step is unbelievable!

When a player breaks through, it is generally very important to control the center of gravity, because if you lose the center of gravity, you will not be able to complete the shot smoothly.

but!

Ginobili's ball looks distorted, it seems that there is no center of gravity at all!

In other words, his center of gravity is different from others, he may only have one point!

In the end he finished the shot in an almost askew way.

The ball wiped the backboard and fell into the net bag again!

Ginobili, after changing his style of play in the past two games, scored 4 points in a row in the opening game!

This time, Sun Hao and O'Neill looked at each other again, confirming that their previous judgment was correct.

It is no longer possible for the Lakers to limit Ginobili's scoring like in the regular season, or in the previous two games.

Because after Ginobili became the "demon knife", he has evolved!

Although the real basketball game is not as simple as fighting the numbers in 2K, the truth is the same.

Christie was able to limit Ginobili very well before, but now, he can't do it!

The cheers at the scene erupted.

With a 1-1 draw to gain home court advantage, Ginobili showed a completely different offensive performance from the past two games.

They are here to eliminate the Lakers and get close to the rhythm of the Western Conference Finals!

"Shua!"

But as soon as they came up with this idea, reality poured cold water on their heads in the next round.

After Sun Hao and O'Neal picked and rolled, this time it was a three-pointer after a step back, and hit it again!

Ginobili scored 4 points in the opening game, and Sun Hao scored 2 three-pointers in the opening game!

4 to 6!

The Spurs, still behind.

True 3 points is one point more than 2 points!

With 2 consecutive three-pointers in the opening game, Smith has opened his mouth wide.

After he closed it again, he turned to look at Barkley.

"He won't keep throwing like this?"

He asked a seemingly silly question.

Because it's impossible to shoot like this all night unless the opponent makes no defensive adjustments at all.

But the opposite is Popovich, that is impossible.

It's just that Sun Hao's hit rate at the beginning allowed him to say the impossible things in style!

Ginobili, then shot to the basket, was interfered by O'Neal's defense and missed!

O'Neal received the defensive rebound, the Lakers played a defensive counterattack, and Sun Hao rushed to the frontcourt against Parker's defense.

When he saw that Sun Hao started to slow down after halftime, Smith's small eyes widened.

Because, the impossible, it might actually happen!

Sun Hao, facing Parker's sudden stop and chasing body, made a three-point shot!

"boom!"

The shot was a little heavy, and the ball hit the backboard after it was released.

However, this seems to be Sun Hao's intention!

Because after the ball bounced, it fell directly into the net bag!

Sun Hao, has scored 3 consecutive three-pointers in the opening game!

The demon sword is cast into the sun, when the sun is out of its sheath!

You may not believe it, the Spurs scored 2 times in the first 3 offenses, but they are now 4 to 9 behind!

This score is the same as drinking water!

O'Neill was so happy that he almost put Sun Hao in his arms and kissed him on the head.

If Sun Hao watched O'Neal kill all sides in the paint before, he felt that the game was very easy.

So now, in fact, O'Neill feels the same way.

Because as long as he does the pick-and-roll, Sun Hao will take him flying!

Well, even if he is taken to fly, he may not believe it himself, but his big shark will be taken to fly one day!

You must know that even in the OK period, he basically brought Kobe!

Manu Ginobili, the European step breakthrough in the frontcourt, more precisely, it should be a serpentine breakthrough.

To say that the biggest difference between the two is the range. Ginobili's breakthrough after letting go of his hands and feet, the center of gravity is erratic, just like a snake.

This time he broke into the inside, and after being blocked, he directly made an S-shaped pass and gave the ball to Nesterovic on the other side!

This pass was full of anger, and it started to show off again!

Nesterovic scored with a quick shot after receiving the ball.

6 to 9!

Over there, Sun Hao took O'Neal to experience the feeling of flying, and here Ginobili is also flying with the Spurs!

The two are directly facing each other!

Sun Hao went to the frontcourt again, this time the Spurs directly switched defenses, using Duncan to defend O'Neal!

Nesterovic is strong enough to fight, but as the big Pyrenees of Europe, his movement speed is slow, and he will not be able to switch defenses when encountering a pick-and-roll of O'Neal's quality.

In contrast, Duncan is completely different.

In theory, after the Spurs made this adjustment, the Lakers should adjust their offense accordingly.

But the reality is different from the theory... it's not the same!

Sun Hao, continue to play pick and roll with O'Neal!

He is. Ignore the theory after the hand is hot!

Duncan rushed out directly, Sun Hao, chose to accelerate the breakthrough with a sudden acceleration!

Just like Ginobili will use his passing threat to create scoring opportunities, Sun Hao will also use his shooting threat to break through!

Used in different places, but the principle is the same.

Duncan showed his flexibility and retreated to catch up with Sun Hao.

But Sun Hao then turned around with a Jordan-style ultra-low center of gravity, and still passed Duncan.

In front of his eyes is already a map of Pingchuan.

He didn't waste such an opportunity. After regaining control of his center of gravity, he took a breath and soared into the air, smashing the buckle with one hand!

Today's top five NBA goals: let's see Sun Hao's combination of sudden shots, let Duncan become a Buddha in place! A one-handed dunk will tell you who is the new dunk king!

6 to 11!

Sun Hao scored 11 points in a row in the opening game.

"Charles, do you...do you still have the idea of ​​coming back to play again?"

At this time, in the commentary booth, Kenny Smith suddenly said this sentence.

Barkley didn't react at first, but when he realized what Smith said, he couldn't help laughing.

O'Neal is still very dominant, and Sun Hao has such a strong performance. The combination of the two will lead everyone to win the championship.

Moreover, if O'Neal can maintain this state for another year or two, the Lakers may even have a chance to have another dynasty!

Therefore, if he seizes the opportunity to make a comeback, he has the opportunity to change the number of championship rings from 1 to 3, or even more!

Well, these words are very similar to what O'Neill said at the beginning.

"What we want is not one or two, let alone three, but four, five, six or even more."

But Barkley shook his head and refused this time.

In fact, he doesn't really like hugging his thighs. He still made contributions back then.

But if he really goes now, he will be the real mascot of the bench, which is not acceptable for a player with his personality.

Of course, the two asked and answered, and they were still bragging about the Lakers.

The Spurs, it's a bit tough to play.

You know, this is still their home field!

Parker and Duncan missed a spinner off a pick-and-roll.

Christie's three-point shot from Sun Hao's bottom corner also hit the frame.

The two teams scored continuously in the opening game, but after a comparison, the fans realized that it was not the two teams that were in good condition, but Sun Hao and Ginobili!

The performance of the two lasted almost the entire game.

Ginobili contributed 31 points and 7 assists in the game, scoring the highest score in the team!

Sun Hao threw 9 three-pointers in and scored 41 points directly!

The final result was also that the Lakers defeated the Spurs 116-107 away, rewriting the big score to 2-1!

3 points is one point more than 2 points, and the accumulation of 9 three points is exactly 9 points more!

To paraphrase a well-known CCTV commentator, the Lakers win on this point!
