You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 754 No matter how strong the opponent is, he is just an old man
Chapter 765 No matter how strong the opponent is, he is just an old man
The 76ers and the Spurs met in the final, which made some media very unhappy because there was no gimmick.

If the Thunder enter the finals, they can continue to preach about reincarnation and fate.

If the Heat enter the finals, then unfortunately, the team that met in the finals for two consecutive years last time? 1997-98 season, Bulls vs Jazz.Coincidentally, Jordan at that time wanted to win three consecutive championships just like James this season. The Jazz at that time had the best power forward in history at that time-just like the Spurs today have the best power forward in history today.

It's a pity that the 76ers were not good, and all three rounds of the Eastern Conference series were won by a clean 4-0.

The 76ers and the Spurs, Wei Xia and Duncan, new opponents never seen before in the Finals.

On the day of the first game of the finals, sports reporters from all over the United States gathered in the Rich Country Center.

An exclusive interview from ESPN and Weixia's feelings about representing the 76ers in the finals for the first time.

Wei Xia said bluntly: "I'm not nervous."

In reality, he has already played in the finals for the Lakers, and in the old days, he also played in many finals on behalf of Havlicek. In terms of experience, his experience in the finals is too rich.

Similarly, the Spurs on the opposite side are also experienced.

On the other hand, for the 76ers, except for Wei Xia and Rondo, Hollins and Weaver and other old Lakers, the other main players and rotations have no experience in the finals.

The victory or defeat of the first game of the final is also related to the record of the 76ers.

If they win Game 2001, it's not just a tribute to the Sixers in 76, it's revenge for them.With a record of 76 consecutive victories in the playoffs, they will surpass the 12 consecutive victories in the playoffs set by the OK Lakers, who beat the [-]ers in the next four games.

If the 76ers lose tonight, they can still share the playoff winning streak with the 01 Lakers.

What's the matter, they are all ranked first in this record, no loss.

NBATNT will broadcast the finals live.

The three who appeared at the Fuguo Center tonight can be regarded as the golden trident.

Marv Albert, the idol of ESPN's golden voice, and two retired NBA players, one is Steve Kerr and the other is Reggie Miller.

Before the show started, Miller first congratulated Kerr: "I heard that you gave a wonderful speech at the Golden State board of directors. Congratulations."

"Thanks, Reggie." Cole smiled.

Although there is no conclusion yet, everyone in the circle knows that Cole will become the new coach of the Warriors.

Albert turned on the microphone and entered work mode: "Reggie, Steve, what do you think of tonight's game?"

"I like the Spurs game very much, but the 76ers have not lost a game in the playoffs so far. It is hard for me not to support them." Miller voted for the 76ers to win.

Cole firmly believes that the competitiveness of the West is far higher than that of the East. Not only will it not be an advantage for the 76ers to remain undefeated in the Eastern Civil War, but it will become a disadvantage.

A streak of victories is burdensome.

"San Antonio is playing the most pleasing team basketball ever. As long as they can withstand the offensive and defensive pressure brought by Wish, I think they have a good chance to win a good start." Cole said immediately.

After they finished speaking, Albert concluded a few words, the camera turned to the field, and both sides had finished warming up.

The Spurs' starting lineup is basically normal: Parker, Green, Leonard, Duncan, Splitter.

The 76ers' starting lineup has always been that meaningless, and it hasn't changed.

"Thank you so much for not sending Matt Bonner at the beginning to announce that the game has been won by you." Wei Xia said to Leonard.

Leonard had a serious and silent expression that he didn't want to respond at all.

It can be seen that the Spurs want to start the ball.

This can be seen from the fact that they lost the jump ball, but someone rushed towards the ball that was already flying towards Rondo.

Rondo's hand took the ball like a magnet, and Wei Xia ran.

Rondo leads the ball.

Right in front of Wei Xia is Leonard, and the fights during the regular season gave him an understanding of Leonard's strength.

Perhaps in a few years, Leonard will become one of the best defenders in the league. Now, he is already an excellent 1V1 single defender.

After Wecha received Rondo's pass and took a sudden tentative step, Leonard's center of gravity was only slightly tilted, and his unbelievably long hands were spread out, enough to cover the wing players other than Durant within his defensive control surface.

The teammates around him ran to him, Wei Xia didn't mean to hand over the ball.

His ball has been collected and he cannot continue to dribble. He is in a high position, and he must use fake moves and footsteps if he wants to attack.He picked up the ball and pretended to shoot it one after another, one after another.Can Leonard's stern face really be indifferent to the fake moves of the world's number one attacker?

When Wei Xia raised the ball for the third time, Leonard's defense was inevitably shaken.

The moment Leonard was stunned, Wei Xia was so excited that he stepped forward, penetrated into the opponent's defensive position, stood at a high position above the free throw line, and even threw the ball up with a low-handed shot.

Leonard looked behind him in surprise.

"Shh!"

"I miss everything about the finals." Wei Xia turned and said, "Let me enjoy it more, Kawhi."

Wei Xia left a few words and returned to the defense. Leonard turned to look at the man—his back was written not on his English name Felix or Chinese name Wei Xia, but on his nickname—"Wish".

He is like a player in the last century, and his popular nickname makes people forget what his original name was.

Who is Leonard's development template?The Spurs never revealed that Povic claimed that Leonard had been watching Jordan's video learning technology, but the development template they set for Leonard was Wei Xia.

The substitute wing 3D starts, gradually develops the offense, takes over the game, and becomes the core.

San Antonio believes that Leonard, who they watched growing up with their own eyes, will definitely become a superstar under their watchful eyes. They will never be like the short-sighted Bass family who handed over the No. 1 of the quasi-league that has not yet officially enthroned to the Eastern team without any compensation.

Leonard himself also regards Wei Xia as a goal and a benchmark to learn from.

It is a great opportunity for him to have the opportunity to learn from him in person in the final.

With Leonard having this kind of thinking, it is not difficult to explain why he did not pass the ball after encountering a double-team from the 76ers in the next round, but decisively challenged Weixia's defense.

The 76ers' flanking attack appeared suddenly.

Hayward originally ran with Green, passed by Leonard, and imitated Jordan's shot against Malone in 98, and a black tiger took his heart out.Unexpectedly, he knocked Leonard's ball away, but it was far from over.Leonard used his long arms to save the ball, was under double-teaming, and forcibly used his wingspan to bypass Wesha and Hayward's defensive throws.

He didn't make a shot, but his courage was commendable.

"It's a rare honor to see you make a shot that raises Coach Popovich's blood pressure." Wei Xia praised Leonard's ass.

Sure enough, they then heard Popovich yelling, "Kawhi, what the hell is that?"

"Coach, don't scare the kid, I taught him a lesson for you." Wei Xia actually answered for Leonard.

Popovich almost failed to stand firm. What did he teach his young people about Wei Xia?

Seeing this scene, Odom said in surprise: "Could it be that Wish has expanded the business of making at least one person on the opposite side mad every game to the other side's coaching staff?"

Weaver nodded solemnly: "Very likely."

Wei Xia wanted to beat Leonard, and he could see Leonard crying at least once at the end of the series.This task seems more difficult than winning the championship, but everyone should have such an unattainable dream, otherwise, you will be sorry for your uniqueness as a member of the universe.

Everyone is a genius, but some people don't know which industry they are geniuses, so they will waste their talents.

Wei Xia is not the case. He knew it from the first day he entered the league. In addition to the gifts of the old days, his genius is to be hated and hated.

Rondo saw Wei Xia's interest in the matchup with Leonard, worried that this guy would go crazy at the beginning, and decided to take it easy.

He raised his right hand and pointed to the sidewalk, indicating that Wei Xia's range of activities was in that area, and then the tactics were launched from the other side.

If nothing else, Wei Xia was unable to get the ball in this round.

He had to take Leonard to run around in his area.

On the other side, Cousins ​​received a pass and pretended to hit Duncan with his back, which actually created a scoring opportunity for Hayward's hit.

They didn't expect Duncan to hold off Cousins ​​while using his positioning to add trouble to Hayward.

There are many kinds of good defense, but the best defense around the basket is undoubtedly Duncan at the moment.

He didn't jump, didn't move, but guarded against two people at the same time.

The position he chose, combined with his own height and wingspan, is often overlooked by fans to reach high on the spot. Under this kind of motionless defense, he played an extreme role.

Not an inch of Duncan's wingspan was spared on this possession.

Even if it is a little shorter, the defensive effect will not be so good.

Hayward missed a layup, and Duncan succeeded in one defense and two, but lost the rebound.Cousins ​​took advantage of Duncan's attention to Hayward to stay in his position. Hayward didn't make it, so he took the rebound and dunked on the spot.

4 is better than 0
"Shit, I think it's okay for you to shoot outside. Cutting is not suitable for you." Cousins ​​​​said boldly, "If I knew it, I would have come by myself. No matter how strong the opponent is, he is just an old man."

Cousins ​​hasn't been handsome for 20 seconds.

Duncan ran across the half court with the team, got the ball at the free throw line, returned it to the guard, picked and rolled from the high post, opened up, and caught the ball.

Cousins ​​didn't follow.

Duncan saw that Cousins ​​couldn't shrink back, so he shot on the spot.

"Shh!"

"No matter how strong the opponent is, he is just an old man?" Hayward sneered.
