NBA: Start the water cooler and reach the Hall of Fame

Early morning on June 6, San Antonio.

Li Kaiming, who was sleeping, suddenly heard a harsh noise. As his consciousness gradually woke up, the noise in his ears became louder and louder.

Grass! I hate it when others disturb my sleep!

Li Kaiming got up from the bed in a hurry, then went to the balcony and opened the curtains.

Not far downstairs, I saw a group of people wearing Spurs jerseys standing. At the feet of these people were two huge speakers, which were playing the same noise that woke Li Kaiming just now.

"San Antonio must win! The Spurs must win!"

"Wizards get out of San Antonio!"

……

This group of people dressed as fans waved signs and flags in their hands, stood at the door of the hotel and kept shouting slogans!

The "enthusiasm" of San Antonio fans exceeded Li Kaiming's imagination. This was just a shock to them on the first day of their away game.

He sighed and then used the phone in his room to dial the number at the front desk.

"Hello sir, the front desk number 01 is at your service. Do you need anything?" The voice of the lady at the front desk was gentle and pleasant.

Li Kaiming yawned, "Please tell the group of people in front of the hotel to be quiet, thank you!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then the voice of the lady at the front desk rang, "Okay, please wait a moment."

After making the call, Li Kaiming came to the window again and looked at the enthusiastic fans. After two minutes passed, the phone in the room rang.

"Hey?"

"Sir, we have already communicated with them. They are unwilling to leave, and there is nothing we can do..."

Listening to the front desk's words, the corners of Li Kaiming's mouth gradually curved.

We have communicated, haha, I have been watching in front of the window, no one in the hotel has been there, how did you communicate? Communicating through the void?

Or are these people the same as you?

Some questions need to be answered, and Li Kaiming doesn't need to ask any more. It seems that the Spurs' tricks are quite good. They start from the hotel where the visiting team is staying...

However, this trick worked quite well. During the afternoon training, Li Kaiming found that many people in the team were yawning, obviously due to lack of sleep.

On the way to the AT&A Center on the team bus, people wearing Spurs jerseys could be seen gathering on the street from time to time. When they saw the Wizards bus coming, they started shouting slogans or collectively booing!

This is a kind of psychological warfare that creates a high-pressure atmosphere before the game even starts, commonly known as showing off.

When the game arrived, the AT&A Center was even more crowded. The black and white-themed Spurs colors were spread throughout the arena. Coupled with the bustling fans, the arena looked like a huge ant nest, giving the Wizards players scalp numbness!

Today's commentators are still TNT's old partners, Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller and Spurs home commentator Van Bartlett.

There is still half an hour before the game starts, and Reggie Miller has already got the starting lineups of both sides:

San Antonio Spurs: Point guard Tony Parker, shooting guard Danny Green, small forward Marcus Morris, power forward Tim Duncan, center Tiago Splitter.

Washington Wizards: Point guard Kirk Hinrich, shooting guard Klay Thompson, small forward Kawhi Leonard, power forward Kaiming Lee, center Andre Blatche.

After the cool entrance ceremony for the home players, the starting lineups of both teams were ready. Tonight's referee inspected the game ball on the sidelines and came to the center circle.

Li Kaiming was moving his knees. When he raised his head and saw the referee's face, his heart immediately went cold!

Damn it! Why is it like this again?

That's right, the referee on duty tonight is still the person who can best defend Li Kaiming in the league - Brother Tony!

As if he felt Li Kaiming's gaze, Brother Tony turned around and smiled at Li Kaiming. Unfortunately, his smile coupled with his dead fish eyes did not look friendly at all. Instead, it made Li Kaiming feel like he had fallen into an ice cave!

As the Tony Brothers blew the whistle, Splitter beat Blatche on the opening jump ball and Spurs passed the ball to Tony Parker who dribbled across half court.

AT&A Center erupted in cheers!

The Spurs' movement tonight was more agile and smooth than before. As soon as the game started, Morris Jr. reversed through a cross. After coming out in a circle, he received a pass from Parker and hit a three-pointer!

3 to 0! AT&A Center is so impressive!

Turning around, the Wizards played a pick-and-roll inside and outside. In the end, Li Kaiming and Hinrich moved down at the same time, attracting a four-man double-team from the Spurs, and the defensive formation shrank.

Hinrich passed the ball to Leonard on the same side, and the latter made a decisive three-pointer after receiving the ball!

But what surprised everyone on the Wizards team was that Leonard actually didn't touch the ball!

Sanders' face turned dark on the sidelines!

The fans at the AT&A Center laughed and cheered!

Li Kaiming had a bad feeling in his heart. Even people with abnormal physical strength like Leonard were affected by lack of sleep. Then wouldn't the others...

No, you can’t make a decision so early, let’s give it a try first!

The Spurs attacked, and this time they created an outside opportunity after running. The Wizards chased too closely, and the Spurs created an open space with a direct pass. Split caught the ball and dunked with both hands!

5 is better than 0!

Sanders, who was on the sidelines, frowned and raised his hands, "Hello? What are you doing? This is the finals!"

The Wizards' offense came to the frontcourt, and Li Kaiming decided to do it himself this round. If the Spurs beat him 10-0 at the beginning, according to the state of his teammates today, there would be no need to play this game.

So he followed the same example as in the previous game and attacked Duncan after receiving the ball. Although he successfully broke through Duncan's defense on the line, after rushing to the basket, he was pulled down by Split with a small move!

Missed the layup!

The three referees didn't say anything. Only then did Li Kaiming remember that even the referees were wearing the opposite jersey...

After seeing this scene, Popovich folded his hands on his chest and had a confident smile on his face.

Haha, they are all mine, how can you fight with me?

As the game progressed, Li Kaiming changed his style of play early and began to shoot from the outside, but the Spurs were not afraid of him at all with this style of play.

And lack of sleep had a big impact on him, so his shooting percentage also dropped.

As for his teammates, they plummeted in this game. Thompson made 4 of 0 three-pointers in the first half and 9 of 1 in the game. Leonard shot 7 of 2. Hinrich only scored 12 points in 11 shots... …

奇才队靠着李凯明全场疯狂出手30次，拿下42分11篮板3助攻，才堪堪得分超过80……

The Spurs players on the opposite side shined brightly, as if they had switched bodies with the Wizards players in the previous game. Whether it was the three-point shooting percentage or the cooperation inside, they performed well and scored 113 points in the whole game. !

The Spurs also relied on this game to use all the strength of San Antonio to regain a victory in the series and rewrite the score to 2-1.

The hotel where the Wizards stayed.

Team president Tommy Shepard was in an emotional exchange with hotel managers.

"Ensuring a resting environment for customers is what you must do, why don't you do it?"

"Sorry, sir, we can only manage matters within the scope of the hotel. If you need the phone number of the San Antonio Police Department, I can provide you with..." The hotel manager thought that the blond white man had a polite smile on his face, but his eyes were deep. There is a trace of disdain everywhere.

What can you do to me? How dare you bite me!

Shepard blushed. The entire America police station had the same phone number. This hotel manager was simply insulting his IQ!

"OK! I think you will regret your actions!"

Looking at Shepard's angrily leaving, the hotel manager curled his lips.

regret? Just wait and see!

Seeing Shepard walking in with an angry face, everyone on the Wizards knew that this communication must not be satisfactory.

"Damn! These Texas guys are so mean!"

Sanders comforted Sheppard, then turned to Li Kaiming and others and said: "Okay kids, it seems that our opponent doesn't want us to have a good night's sleep. Maybe we need to overcome the difficulties..."

"Tommy, go buy some noise-cancelling earplugs. We'll sleep with these on tonight!"

"On the road to success, these things have to be experienced sooner or later. This also shows that the opponent has no way to defeat us on the court, so they can only take action off the court. We will not be defeated by these little tricks. Each of you has this in your heart." Know what we can do!"

In addition to being the team's coach, Sanders is also the person with the most experience in the game. His comfort and encouragement cheered up everyone in the team.

After buying the noise-cancelling earplugs, everyone was given a few pairs. After the video session before bed, the players returned to their rooms.

Li Kaiming put the noise-cancelling earplugs into his ears. He had never worn them before, and suddenly he put something in his ears to sleep. He couldn't fall asleep for a while.

But after all, he had experienced high-intensity competitions, and the effect of these noise-cancelling earplugs was really good. Within an hour of tossing and turning, Li Kaiming fell into a deep sleep...

In the early morning of the 12th, outside the hotel where the Wizards were staying, this group of fans with ill intentions once again resorted to the same tricks as yesterday, with slogans and DJs flying together, and banners of the same color.

However, after two full hours of commotion, the organizer of their group did not receive any news from the hotel.

"What's going on? Did the Wizards give up communicating?" A big man with colorful tattoos on his body was curious.

The thin monkey next to him also had doubts in his eyes, but then a trace of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes.

"Whatever, if we interfere like this, it will definitely have an impact on them. I can't. These guys from the Wizards are so dead in their sleep? As long as one of them can be interfered by us, the Spurs will have a higher probability of winning... "

And while there were all kinds of noises outside, snoring could be heard everywhere in the room where the Wizards players were, like thunder...

It seems that the effect of these noise-cancelling earplugs is really good!
