against the front

Chapter 201 Yan Hua's Nemesis

On February 2010, 2, AT&T Stadium in San Antonio. Although today is Tuesday, AT&T Stadium still maintained a very good attendance rate. Before the game started, there were already many spectators in the auditorium of AT&T Stadium. As the game begins and the game progresses, the audience at the AT&T Stadium will definitely increase.

Although the Spurs' home court has always been one of the home courts with the highest attendance rate in the entire league, the Spurs' current situation is not very good. After sweeping the Cavaliers and winning the championship in the 0607 season, the Spurs' state has been worse year after year. In [-], they were stopped in the division finals. Last season, they were stopped by the Mavericks Black Six in the first round. This season, they fell directly to the brink of the playoffs. It is also only ranked ninth in the Western Conference, two games behind the Thunder, which is eighth in the Western Conference. If you are not careful, you may miss the playoffs.

So after the end of the All-Star Weekend, during the time period that should have been the Spurs' rest adjustment, Popovich did not make a rest and adjustment to the aging GDP. Instead, he wound them up and prepared to let them lead The spurs began to sprint.

The Spurs vs. Kings, although judging from the current rankings of the two sides, this is just a game between the second in the West and the ninth in the West, but this game is also a strong dialogue full of gold, especially known as the Yan Hua's nemesis, Tim Duncan, the head of the four major power forwards, and the first center Yan Hua's duel attracted countless people's attention.

Although Tim Duncan has a low-key personality and a simple style of play, as a player who has won the regular season MVP, All-Star MVP, and Finals MVP, and has been crowned the championship four times, he has ranked first in NBA history before retiring. Power forward superstar, Tim Duncan naturally has a lot of fans and supporters.

Compared with Tim Duncan, although Yan Hua has not achieved any achievements and honors, but in terms of the number of fans and supporters, Yan Hua definitely surpasses Tim Duncan. Even in the United States, the base camp of the NBA, relying on With excellent statistics and team leadership results, as well as the momentum behind the NBA and Adidas, Yan Hua has also become one of the top balloon stars.

"Charles, it looks like today's game will be very intense." As the head star of the visiting team, when Yan Hua walked out of the player tunnel from the last of the king's queue, the fans at the AT&T Arena cheered. Yan Hua sent the most violent boos, and Kenny Smith, who was on the sidelines commentary, also smiled after seeing Yan Hua walk out of the player tunnel indifferently.

Don’t look at the Spurs who have won four championships in nine years and are now extremely brilliant, but Hakeem Olajuwon is still a past that all Spurs fans don’t want to mention. It is still the eternal pain in David Robinson’s heart. David Robinson, who was beaten by Hakeem Olajuwon in the conference finals, will still be mentioned repeatedly until now, so when Olajuwon's hand-picked successor walked into AT&T After the arena, the Spurs fans at the scene will naturally not be polite.

"Yes, today's game is not only related to whether the Spurs can narrow the win gap with the Thunder and rank among the top eight in the Western Conference, but also related to whether the Kings can keep their second position in the Western Conference, and even one step closer to catch up. The Lakers are No. [-] in the Upper West, so neither the Kings nor the Spurs will give up on this game." After Kenny Smith finished speaking, Charles Barkley nodded and responded to Kenny Smith's words. The statement agrees.

In order to maintain his second position in the Western Conference and retain the hope of competing with the Lakers for the first place in the Western Conference, the King will definitely strive to win the game against the Spurs. If the Lakers make a mistake, the Kings will have a chance to catch up with the Lakers.

As for the Spurs, although there are still 28 games before the end of the season, the Spurs, currently ranked ninth in the Western Conference, are not in a good situation in the playoffs. To achieve overtaking and enter the playoffs, in addition to expecting opponents to make mistakes, the Spurs themselves must ensure that they win as many games as possible.

But there is one more thing that Charles Barkley didn't say, that is, Tim Duncan, known as Yan Hua's nemesis, as the No. But it is a very shameless thing, just like the famous saying of Dwight Howard and Yao Ming in the previous seasons, and Jordan ruled the NBA earlier, and Olajuwon ruled Jordan.

Therefore, in Barkley's view, in this game between the Kings and the Spurs, Yan Hua will definitely use his best to prove himself in front of Tim Duncan and defeat the so-called nemesis Yan Hua.

After all the visiting Kings players walked out of the player tunnel, the Spurs players who played at home also began to appear one after another, and when the Spurs' head player Tim Duncan walked out of the player tunnel as the finale, the entire AT&T The atmosphere in the hall reached a climax in an instant. More than 1 spectators stood up, clapped and shouted Tim Duncan's name in unison. From the atmosphere when Tim Duncan appeared on the stage, we can also see that Tim Duncan, at the AT&T Arena, has lost his status and influence in San Antonio.

"TD, show your full strength." After the warm-up, the starting players of both sides stood in their respective positions, and Yan Hua and Tim Duncan, who represented the jump ball of the two teams, also walked into the center one after another. Looking at Tim Duncan who took the basketball from the referee and muttered to himself in his arms, Yan Hua who stood in front of Tim Duncan said calmly.

Just like what Charles Barkley guessed, Yan Hua is going to be at the Spurs' home court today, so that everyone can see that Tim Duncan is definitely not his nemesis. , Kevin Garnett and other players are all looking up to them. Even if they are blown away by them, Yan Hua will not have any superfluous thoughts. Instead, he will take it for granted, but when Yan Hua Hua became stronger and stronger, and even after ascending to the throne of the first center, Yan Hua could not allow himself to be beaten by others, not anyone.

"Then come on." After Tim Duncan's opening ceremony ended, Tim Duncan replied to Yan Hua with a slight smile.
