Chapter 176 Sweeping the Spurs
Some people say that Kobe is paranoid, but it is precisely because of this paranoia that Kobe is so successful.Kobe's paranoia made him recognize the Spurs' inside attack, and Duncan suffered a disaster. He committed six offenses after only 20 minutes of the game.

Popovich didn't expect this to happen either. Once Duncan left the field, the Spurs would have no power to stop the Lakers from opening the score.

Parker was also replaced, and Popovich gave up the game again aggrieved.He can't do anything about it. The third scoring point on the field is now Michael Finley. He only scored 4 points in this game and was blocked by Wu Di.

Finley couldn't help, Parker slowed down a little bit, and just when he was able to break through Fisher, Kobe went over to switch defenses and restrained Parker again.

Duncan once again fought alone, how could one person defeat the three-person Lakers?
The Cavaliers and Spurs' lineup is not bad either. According to the previous player classification, Duncan must be an S-level player, while Ginobili and Parker are both players between the S-level and A-level players, and should be A+. Finley and Rosen are Players between the A and B grades should be A- or B+.

However, Ginobili was unable to play, and the Spurs' lineup was much weaker.If you want to beat the Lakers, you have to rely on luck. You can win the game only when your own team breaks out or the Lakers collectively don't feel good.

The two teams changed positions and set off for San Antonio.

On the morning of May 5, the NBA officially announced the best team.The first team is Howard, James, Wu Di, Kobe, Wade; the second team is Dayao, Nowitzki, Duncan, Roy, Paul; the third team is O'Neal, Anthony, Pierce, Billups, Parker .

The competition for this year's best team is still very fierce, and many candidates who could have been selected have been squeezed out.However, this list can still convince everyone and there is not much controversy.

In the evening, the third game began.The Spurs also want to imitate the Hornets and win two games at home. They have more home court advantage than the Hornets.

The Spurs' home court has always been known as the home of death because it is difficult to see other colors except black and white in the arena.The floor is black and white, and the jerseys are also black and white. These two simple colors directly cause depression in the Spurs' home court. If the audience does not cheer, it will easily remind people of a funeral parlor.

After the playoffs, the Spurs' home court was even more terrifying, and people here didn't say anything to other teams.The Spurs are a traditional old team. After joining the NBA, they have been a frequent visitor to the NBA. For nearly 40 years, only a few years have not broken into the playoffs, which shows how rich their heritage is.

Moreover, most of the Spurs' stars are cultivated by themselves. The current GDP combination is all cultivated by the Spurs themselves through the draft, and their loyalty is extremely high.

It is precisely because of this that the Spurs have always been strong, and San Antonio fans have always been very supportive of the Spurs and have extremely high loyalty to the Spurs.

As soon as they entered the field, the Lakers players were also shocked.But it's not soft, the Spurs can't beat the Lakers or they can't beat the Lakers.Kobe and Gasol are old fritters, no home game can affect their mentality, and Wu Di is a person with a changeable personality, you don’t stimulate him, he is a polite person, but once you stimulate him , he will immediately become rebellious.

Fisher and Brad Miller also showed the demeanor of veterans, especially in this case, the role of veterans is more obvious.

The Lakers' two first-year picks Pekovic and Sun Yue did not perform very well, and they were affected.However, with the first five performing normally, it wouldn't hurt even if the two of them were abnormal.

As for Bynum, he has been ignored by everyone. Matt Bonner, who is facing him, is not a strong player, and he is still easy to defend.

The hero of the third game should be Fisher. Fisher made five of five three-pointers in the first half, pushing the score to more than 10 points.The Spurs didn't add to this trap until the second half, but without Fisher's 15 points, the Lakers might really lose. I thought the Lakers would win this game by 13 points.

Losing all three games, the Spurs once again made great efforts to ensure that they did not lose at home, or they would be swept away.

On the 11th, the two sides fought again for the fourth game.

Duncan broke out at the beginning of the game, hitting consecutive shots and rebounds, and even beat Gasol down in the 5th minute.

Brad Miller is very weak against Duncan. Duncan's peak is very long. His style of play in the Spurs has always been team basketball. As long as he can win, he doesn't even need to score.So I have never seen Duncan make crazy shots in pursuit of high scores, which means that he has never shown his true peak, so it makes people feel that his peak is very long.

In fact, Duncan is now in a period of decline. The average player is at the peak of his career at the age of 25-35.Duncan is 33 years old this year, at the end of his peak, and his state has declined.

No one can say how many years Duncan can continue to play, which is a pity just thinking about it.But some people didn't feel sorry. Kobe followed Wu Di's cover and continuously attacked the Spurs inside. In less than 3 minutes, he made Duncan foul twice and beat him down.

He wants to fight for the championship and will not show mercy to any enemy.Perhaps Duncan's state is worthy of sympathy, but Kobe will not. He joined the NBA a year earlier than Duncan, wouldn't it be more sympathetic?

Gasol and Duncan also fell into a foul crisis. The Lakers' attack was still normal, but the Spurs' attack was weakened by more than half.

In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, Duncan committed six fouls and the Spurs completely lost their hope of defeating the Lakers.Popovich simply replaced the main force and surrendered.

The Lakers once again swept and advanced, and took an early break.

On the 13th, the NBA officially announced the best defensive lineup.The best defensive team is Howard, James, Woody, Kobe, Paul; the second team is Duncan, Garnett, Artest, Wade, Rajon Rondo.

On the 14th, the NBA officially announced the best rookie team. The first team is Brook Lopez, Michael Beasley, OJ Mayo, Rose, Westbrook; Kovic, Eric Gordon, Mario Chalmers.

The results of the second round came out quickly. The Cavaliers swept the Hawks with four wins in four games and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals.Their opponent was the Magic. The Magic and the Celtics fought fiercely for seven games and finally won.

In the West, the Lakers' opponent will be the Rockets. The Rockets and the Nuggets fought seven games. In the end, the Rockets won steadily by scoring inside.Anthony was defended by Artest, and Billups was also defended by Battier. The new golden double guns were also sent home by the Rockets to rest.
