MCI Center.
When Jordan began his final affectionate confession with tears in his eyes...
Wang Shuo was convinced that the tears in Danzi's eyes at this moment were definitely true.
“Ever since my older brother put me on the basketball court, and I started dreaming about being in the NBA and shooting those game-winning shots in the future, I knew one thing for sure:
I'm deeply in love with you. "
"I am willing to give everything to you, from my heart, my body, to my spirit and soul..."
"I'm running up and down the court chasing every rebound for you.
If you long for my fight, I will return your whole body and soul, because there are too many things in it.
I played with pain and sweat, not because the "challenge" called me, but because you called me..."
"I've given it my all this season. Even though my heart can handle it, my mentality can handle it...
But my body already knew it was time to say goodbye. "
On the scene and in front of the TV, with Jordan's every word, with Jordan's affectionate confession of the basketball he has always loved...
From his sincere voice, from his voice that became increasingly hoarse at the end of his confession, basketball fans all over the world felt that they felt Jordan's unforgettable love for basketball at this moment.
There is no doubt that in the future, when anyone can call themselves the GOAT, in Wang Shuo's eyes, Kobe Bryant is the well-deserved GOAT in the retirement world.
This "Dear Basketball", slightly modified by Wang Shuo, is the narration that Kobe himself recorded for the animated short film that will be played during his retirement battle.
Although as a high school player, Kobe's writing skills are limited, but compared to those gorgeous rhetoric, this text composed of the simplest English words is actually more shocking!
At the MCI Center, the moment Jordan's affectionate confession ended, the spotlights on the scene were turned off.
And at this moment, in the center of the stage, a blond girl in a blue dress, accompanied by live accompaniment, following Jordan's affectionate confession, brought joy to the people who were paying attention to the G2 game of the finals this night. A little "fist" shock:
“Legends never die.
The world is calling you.
Can you hear your name being called?
The legend never dies.
Put the story into music.
The struggle against adversity is great!
Blood and sweat stain the jersey!
Never give up, no matter how many challenges and cold words!
Born to be tenacious, he is never afraid of strong winds and rough waves!
Oh, Zhi Zhu Legend, because...
The legend never goes out! "
Since Wang Shuo figured out the lyrics and rough melody of "Legends-Never-Die" from memory last year, Boss Qiao immediately found a music company to re-produce it.
Originally, according to Boss Qiao's own ideas, he hoped to find a more famous singer to sing.
But after a series of auditions, Wang Shuo fell in love with a 13-year-old girl.
Although the little girl's voice was still a little immature at this time, in Wang Shuo's opinion, her immature voice matched the artistic conception of the 40-year-old Boss Qiao better.
Of course, the main reason why Wang Shuo fell in love with this little girl at first sight was because her name was Taylor Swift.
MCI scene, another climax tonight has come.
In the center of the venue, after Swift finished singing, she suddenly looked at Jordan with the microphone in her hand and said: "Michael, is life always so painful? Or is it only like this when you are a child?"
Hearing this, Jordan pondered for two seconds before replying: "It's always like this."
At this moment, Swift and Jordan's quote from the classic conversation between Leon and Matilda in "This Killer Isn't Too Cold" spread around the world...
An inexplicable "uneasy feeling" suddenly surged into people's hearts.
In New York, watching the Wizards tonight, even a Hollywood director may not be able to capture the "drama". Stern knows that from this moment on...
Whoever dares to stop this Wizards from defending their title will be the public enemy of basketball fans all over the world!
Wang Shuo's roll call is responsible for "starting", Jordan's affectionate confession is responsible for "inheriting", "Legends-Never-Die" sung by Swift is responsible for "turning", and finally, the classic movie The lines are responsible for the "integration".
After the Wizards knocked down this "combination punch" in one go, Sima Bobo on the Spurs bench was already ashen-faced.
Sima Bobo knows very well that, let alone this G2 game now, even if they return to San Antonio, the Spurs will not have any home field advantage by then!
In fact, as long as the Spurs players dare to make a little big move on the court, the fans' saliva after the game can drown this Spurs!
no!
Do you need to be so violent?
Yes, I admit that we had a little "little misunderstanding" before, but now, in this series, our Spurs are the one that does not have the upper hand, okay?
On the sidelines, on the Wizards' bench, Sima Bobo may not believe it. It is really because the Wizards' opponent in this year's finals may be the Spurs, so Wang Shuo has kept this "big move" until now.
After all, even the Wizards can use force to intimidate this Spurs.
Wang Shuo is not willing to use Jordan's "second bosses" to compete with Spurs players.
In addition, as a "perfectionist", Wang Shuo does not want to ruin boss Joe's retirement tour this year because of the Spurs.
At the MCI Center, after this special "farewell ceremony", the big screen immediately showed the starting lineup of the two teams tonight:
Spurs: Robinson, Duncan, Bowen, Malik Rose, Parker.
Wizards: Haywood, Gasol, Jordan, Hamilton, Arenas.
Although before the start of the finals, Wang Shuo had considered putting Boss Qiao on the bench, considering that Boss Qiao would be very embarrassed, therefore, after thinking again and again, Wang Shuo finally decided to "work hard" and just get the Ron Artest is the Defensive Player of the Year.
No way...
There are many wizard cards, so Wang Shuo can be so willful.
In the center of the field, after a jump ball, the Wizards took the lead.
After Arenas dribbled the ball past half court, the Wizards players quickly dispersed in a 122 formation.
This season, the Wizards haven't played much in the triangle offense.
But tonight, in order for Jordan to enjoy the cheers from the fans as much as possible in what is likely to be the last home game of his career, Wang Shuo and the Wizards coaching staff, including the Wizards players, all believe that the Wizards should focus on the triangle offense. .
Compared with the G1 game, Bowen also used all his strength to carry Jordan.
But how could he, who didn't dare to stretch his hands randomly on the court, be able to carry this Danzi weighing more than 110 kilograms?
Boom, boom!
On the court, after hitting behind him twice, Jordan suddenly turned over.
Uh-huh!
At the scene, as Boss Joe took the lead for the team, Wizards fans were completely crazy at this moment!
The heart-rending "Dunk" shouts made the Spurs players on the field feel "heartbroken".
This is no exaggeration!
On the court, the Spurs were attacking and under tremendous pressure, Duncan made a rare turn and missed the ball.
Coming back, Gasol, who grabbed a rebound for the Wizards, immediately handed the ball to Arenas.
Parker tried to step forward for a delay, but because he made an inconspicuous pushing motion with his hand when he went up for grabs, the referee immediately blew the whistle.
Seeing this, the young Parker wanted to go forward and argue with the referee, but the old Duncan pulled him back.
After rubbing his head, he shook his head and said, "Next, try not to reach out if you can."
After the Wizards took the sideline ball, the team continued to spread out in a 122 formation, giving Boss Joe an opportunity to play in the low post.
Robinson's shot was very skillful. It wasn't until he fully observed the positions of the players on both teams that he suddenly turned around and pounced on Jordan, preparing to double-team Boss Joe with Bowen.
But at this moment, Danzi leaned on Bowen and suddenly turned around in the opposite direction!
when!
Unfortunately, Jordan failed to score this Tianxiu one-v-two.
But thanks to Robinson's defense, at this moment, Duncan was also able to go one against two in the Spurs' penalty area.
Haywood and Gasol work well together. The former is responsible for blocking the man, and the latter is responsible for rushing for offensive rebounds.
Bang, swish!
Under the basket, Gasol successfully made up for the goal that Boss Joe failed to score.
0 to 4.
The Spurs had the ball, and Duncan pulled up to the high post to serve as a wall for Parker. Parker rushed to the free throw line and passed the ball back to Duncan. The moment Duncan got the ball, he passed the basketball to Robinson.
This is the Spurs' signature offense.
But in the face of Haywood's help defense, which came in at the last moment, the 38-year-old Robinson failed to score the ball.
On TNT TV, Barkley lamented: "Sure enough, not every player can play like Michael at the age of 38."
This season, Robinson has declined significantly. The former "Admiral" cannot escape the fate of being tortured by time.
On the court, the Wizards' offensive round.
Under the hint of boss Joe's eyes, the Wizards changed their formation and position, switching to Gasol and Arenas to play the high pick-and-roll.
On defense, Arenas couldn't guard against Duncan and Parker's pick-and-roll.
On offense, Parker was also helpless with Arenas and Gasol's pick-and-roll.
At the top of the arc, after speeding up to pass through Parker's defense, Arenas handed the ball to Jordan in time as he watched Rose coming to help defend him.
The Spurs' defense suddenly went into chaos. In the left corner, after receiving the ball from his idol, Hamilton raised his knife and dropped it. Whoa!
0 to 7.
Seeing this scene on the sidelines, Sima Bobo felt that he still underestimated the offensive firepower of this Wizards.
Originally, before the finals started, in Sima Popo's view, the Spurs could still deal with the Wizards' offense through their defensive system.
After all, in the Western Conference Finals, the Spurs' defense successfully passed the test from another offensive team, the Mavericks.
But Sima Bobo obviously forgot that in the regular season this season, the Wizards simply did not exert their full strength.
In the first half of the regular season, Wang Shuo's main focus was also to help Arenas and Gasol improve their statistics.
As for the second half of the regular season, let alone that...
In order to help Danzi win the scoring title, only Tracy McGrady, who was knocked unconscious, knew how crazy the Wizards were.
Even before the finals started, the Wizards played quite casually.
no doubt.
This Wizards is an absolute dream team.
Because for an NBA team, no matter how many giants you have, there is only one basketball on the court.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But with Jordan holding the line and Wang Shuolai making arrangements...
Let's put it this way.
You can imagine the American men's basketball team playing the kind of pass-and-cut cooperation against Greece in Future 06 on the court.
In Wang Shuo's view, if Jordan hadn't been able to suppress the young players on the team with his prestige and the emotional intelligence borrowed from God, then no matter how good his tactics were, the Wizards would have been doomed to be in disarray.
In the future, the Lakers F4 in the 2003/04 season is the best example.
It is true that old Malone is getting a little older, but Malone's physical fitness is different from ordinary people, but he is still far from being completely unable to fight.
And Payton.
You know, before joining the Lakers, Payton even averaged "20+8" per game and led the Bucks to the playoffs.
But what's the result?
The result is that Payton, who doesn't want to play the triangle offense, simply plays poorly behind him, and Malone has directly become a tool man. His effect on the court is even worse than that of a veteran who can shoot three-pointers at certain times. Horry.
Moreover, "OK" itself has been affected by this. Kobe can't play happily, and O'Neal can't enjoy it.
Tonight, for Jordan, Wizards players, including Arenas, who was most affected by the triangle offense, are willing to play the triangle offense.
For the sake of the championship, Danzi can also give up his damn low position so that his group of "second bosses" can give full play to their subjective initiative.
In the NBA, the Wizards in the 2001/02 and 2002/03 seasons are destined to be their swan songs.
Because even if Wang Shuo can use his memory to build one Galaxy battleship after another in the future, the NBA will not have another "basketball god" who can make a group of geniuses willingly assist him.
Perhaps, the "hot man" who is about to enter the NBA next season can do it in the future by relying on brothers' basketball, and let the brothers sacrifice their historical status to assist him.
But cases like the Wizards that can achieve mutual success are destined to be difficult to replicate.
On the court, when the two teams entered the official timeout of the first quarter, the score gap between the two teams had reached 7 to 17.
And something that frightened Sima Bobo even more happened after the official suspension...
That is, after the Wizards replaced Jordan and Haywood, they finally brought up the best defensive team combination of DPOY and Jackson.
A team that can make DPOY willing to play as a substitute.
If you don’t understand, just ask, how terrible is the cohesion of this team?
After testing in the first two games of the finals, Wang Shuo discovered that Robinson was really on his last legs, so there was no need for him to continue using the twin towers against the Spurs' twin towers.
On the court, after the Wizards changed their formation, the Spurs attacked.
After the timeout, Ginobili, who was replaced by the Spurs, tried to force his way inside.
Relying on the change of rhythm, this "demon knife" successfully got rid of Hamilton.
But as soon as Ginobili stepped into the Wizards' territory with his front foot, he understood why his teammate Parker didn't have much desire to attack tonight.
Atai on the left, Martial Saint on the right.
How do you ask Ginobili to perform his serpentine dance?
Seeing this, Ginobili hurriedly distributed the ball.
But the Argentine, who has always been casual, passed the ball somewhat casually.
This "demon sword" that has not experienced any real beatings obviously still needs time to sharpen its edge.
On the court, after using the blocking position to cut off the basketball for the Wizards, Hamilton handed the ball to Arenas.
This season, Arenas, who has been officially crowned the "General", hit a fast break three-pointer!
7 to 20!
On the sidelines, looking at the already sharp Arenas, Wang Shuo now feels that the breakup between Jordan and Pauline does not seem to be a bad thing for him personally.
Because even he can't guarantee that with the growth of this group of Wizards players, the Wizards' locker room next season will be as harmonious as this year.
In the NBA, no matter whether it is a team that aims to hit a dynasty or achieve a great dynasty, serious conflicts within the team will occur after two consecutive championships.
Because after achieving two consecutive championships, as the status of the players in the team changes, no one can guarantee whether the teammates who were able to work together and fight side by side yesterday will become enemies fighting for status tomorrow. .
Uh-huh!
On the court, while Wang Shuo was still sighing on the sidelines, because Ginobili made another mistake, Arenas hit a three-pointer!
And after scoring this time, Arenas specifically raised his right hand and looked at Wang Shuo on the sidelines.
This is a celebration unique to Arenas in this life.
Its purpose is to remind the world that Wang Shuo once wrote this sentence for him on his hand:
The best shooter in the NBA, Gilbert Arenas.
At this moment, even if Wang Shuo can use various reasons to comfort himself, leaving the Wizards after this season is not a bad thing, but looking at Arenas's sincere eyes at this moment, how can he really be indifferent? ?
On the Wizards bench, Jordan immediately stood up and covered Wang Shuo with a towel.
"Before you win the championship, don't let everyone see you in this mess. You are their spiritual support!" Jordan whispered in Wang Shuo's ear.
Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?
On the court, after the first quarter, it was 17 to 35.
On the Spurs bench, looking at the score, Sima Bobo had even begun to think about G3 and G4.
However, no matter how rational Sima Bobo is, he knows that if he just releases G2, then after releasing G1 and G2 consecutively...
Do the Spurs really have the energy to compete with the Wizards?
Fortunately, in the second quarter, "Magic Card" Crawford helped Sima Popo make a quick decision.
Let it go, Gregg Popovich, don't lie to yourself, no team can defeat this Wizards who are in great shape and morale at the MCI Center on this night.
At the end of the second quarter, after the intermission, and at the beginning of the third quarter, as the Wizards launched wave after wave of offensive climaxes, with 4 minutes and 45 seconds left in the third quarter, Sima Bobo took the initiative to withdraw all Main force.
Although he made a decision with the help of Crawford as early as the second quarter, Sima Popo still chose to persist until the third quarter.
After all, the finals...
It's impossible to just let it go.
In the end, the score in G2 of the finals was 80 to 121.
The Wizards' devastating offense once again made fans at the scene and in front of the TV feel the charm of offensive basketball!
…
Two days later, on the 10th, farewell to Washington, in San Antonio, the Wizards and Spurs Finals G3 game moved to the ATT Center Arena.
In this game, the Spurs, who returned to their home court, managed to lead the Wizards by 4 points at the end of the first half, giving their home Spurs fans hope of defeating the Wizards.
At halftime, commentators from both China and the United States believed that the Spurs could rebound in G3 mainly because Popovich had rationally chosen to give up the first two games of this year's finals.
In the future, the famous "Cannon Blower" said during the intermission, "Popovich is really amazing. Look, in the first two games of the finals, he was able to let go at will!"
To be honest, before this round of finals started, no one was optimistic that the Spurs could win the championship.
But Popovich now allows everyone to see the possibility of the Spurs making a comeback in this series.
I feel that Wang Shuo was still careless. Since he won both games too smoothly, he somewhat underestimated the enemy in terms of formation in this game.
But there's nothing we can do about it. Young coaches all have this problem. "
In front of the TV, the Chinese fans were stunned by this "cannonball". Even many Wang Shuo's fans began to worry about Wang Shuo in their hearts.
However, the facts are really as this "gun blower" said. Is the reason why the Wizards fell behind in the first half of this G3 game because of Sima Bobo's forbearance and Wang Shuo's underestimation of the enemy?
In the Wizards locker room, during halftime, Wang Shuo was so angry that he almost smashed the TV in the locker room with one punch, then found a bucket of ice water and poured it over his head.
No, I have watched so many NBA games in my last life plus this life...
It's not uncommon for me to win FMVP in the finals.
Can......
This is definitely the first time for me to win the FMVP in the finals!
Because of this life, young people like the Wizards regard Jordan as their idol.
Coupled with the fact that the Wizards won the first two games of the Finals too smoothly, Boss Joe's statistics are not as unique as last year...
So do you dare to believe that this group of wizard players actually dragged Jordan into the sewer on the stage of the finals in order to help Jordan win the eighth FMVP of his career?
"Do you really think that we are already the championship?" Wang Shuo, who had wanted to get angry at countless moments in the first half, looked at the crowd and asked.
Hearing this, in the locker room, the Wizards players who knew that Wang Shuo was so fierce that even Jordan dared to slap him immediately lowered their heads.
On the other hand, fortunately among the misfortunes, Boss Qiao did not lose his mind because of the Finals FMVP.
It's not because he doesn't want to take it...
Rather, he had already felt the ruthless torment of the years when he had previously won the regular season scoring title.
Don't look at Jordan's words.
But he knows better than anyone how he became the scoring champion this year.
On the one hand, his teammates were desperately trying to pass the ball to him on the court, and he himself was throwing it at all costs.
On the other hand...
It was because the brothers on the road gave him a lot of respect and gave him the green light in many competitions.
It's really the playoffs, especially this round of the Finals with the Spurs...
Take tonight's G3 game as an example. It's not so much the Spurs who guarded Jordan.
It would be better to say that Jordan was guarded by himself.
Jordan knows very well that if he has been obsessed with destroying the team's offensive rhythm for the sake of FMVP, then even if the Wizards win in the end, his FMVP may not necessarily be very glorious.
Of course, Jordan can be so sensible...
It was also because before Wang Shuo returned to the locker room, he deliberately pulled him to the toilet and said to him: "Michael, as long as we can successfully win the championship this year, believe me, even if your data is slightly worse by then, David will not compare the total to The final FMVP will be given to others.
Can you understand this? Maybe, when you are at your peak, David will steal one or two regular season MVPs from you, but at this moment, David will never hinder you in your final performance.
Because both David and the NBA need a legend like you to support their appearance! "
Under Wang Shuo's reminder, Jordan suddenly understood. During the halftime break, he just wished he could go back to before the start of the G3 game, otherwise he would slap himself hard.
In the locker room, after Wang Shuo got angry, Jordan took the initiative to admit his mistake with an obedient look on his face: "I didn't play well in the first half of this game, and I am willing to take full responsibility for it.
Coach, I promise that in the second half of the game, we will show our best and win this G3 game! "
After Jordan took the initiative to express his position, other Wizards players also echoed: "Coach, just wait and see. If we can't win this game tonight, we will collectively have a disembowelment in front of you."
Wang Shuo: "..."
Actually, as long as you know you are wrong, there is no need to perform a collective caesarean section.
On the court, after the intermission, CCTV, just when the "gun blower" was still praising Sima Bobo, the situation in the Holy City suddenly changed!
In the first attack of the second half, after using Gasol's cover to find a chance to fire, Arenas raised his hand and sniped!
Swish——!
53 to 54.
Back, the Spurs attacked, and Parker, who rushed to the basket, was intercepted by Artest like a piece of fruit before taking a layup.
The Wizards took advantage of the situation to counterattack, and Hamilton made a quick move!
55 to 54.
Immediately afterwards, the Spurs attacked and Duncan succeeded in a strong attack under the basket.
55 to 56.
But before all the Spurs could return to their positions, Ron Artest hit another three-pointer for the Wizards from the outside after receiving a pass from Arenas!
58 to 56.
The Spurs had the ball. After a high pick-and-roll, Parker passed the ball to Duncan, who hit the board at a 45-degree angle from the left and hit it!
58 to 58.
The Wizards attacked, and after spreading out in a 221 formation, Hamilton cut to the basket and received Gasol's pass for a layup!
60 to 58.
On the court, as the offense began to pick up, the Wizards quickly made the Spurs feel the pressure they had felt in the previous two games.
On offense, the Spurs often have to spend a lot of money to score.
And this is why, when Jordan was dragged into the sewer by his teammates in the first half, the Wizards were only 4 points behind.
Because this Wizards' defense is so damn tough!
As for defense, once the Wizards' flourishing offense is no longer obsessed with finding Jordan, it will be difficult for the Spurs to guarantee that every player on the court can match up with Wizards players.
No matter how good Duncan's defensive awareness is, he can't complete the right side to supplement the left side, and the left side to supplement the middle.
On CCTV, "Canopiao" who felt like he had been slapped in the face still said during the commentary: "Although the Wizards' offense is getting better and better now, the Wizards must be careful about Popovich's backhand."
Backhand?
On the Spurs' bench, how could Popovich, who was almost autistic at the moment, not know that he had a backup plan this night?
If you don’t understand, just ask.
At this moment, Sima Bobo’s back-up plan...
You can't just replace Steve Kerr, Dany Ferry, Clayton and the like to give points to the Wizards, right?
However, although Popovich did not have a back-up plan, Wang Shuo did hide a back-up plan.
At the end of the third quarter, Wang Shuo, who saw that the Spurs were reaching their physical limit, sent Wallace, Jackson, Crawford and other new players onto the court.
Relying on the continuous impact of this new force, the Wizards successfully overwhelmed the Spurs at the end of the third quarter and the beginning of the fourth quarter.
In the final quarter of the game, when Sima Bobo looked at the score with a look of despair...
At the end of this quarter with 2 minutes and 15 seconds left, I saw:
On the scoreboard, 108 to 88.
At this time, CCTV, the "cannonball" who had been blaming Popovich before, changed his words without blushing and said: "The depth of this Wizards' lineup is really scary, and Wang Shuo is also very good. Every Wizards player is allocated playing time.”
In the end, the final score of this G3 game was 114-96.
In the entire game, Arenas scored a total of 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists for the Wizards.
Gasol scored 21 points, 10 rebounds, and 3 assists for the Wizards.
In addition, Hamilton, Jordan, and Artest also scored 19 points, 17 points, and 13 points respectively.
Just like last year, after the Wizards won three games in a row to get the match point, the next day, as usual, the O'Brien Cup, which symbolizes the highest honor of the NBA team, was shipped to San Antonio.
At the same time, Bill Russell also accepted the NBA's invitation and will attend the Finals G4 game on the evening of the 12th.
With the Wizards leading 3-0, the public has basically acquiesced in the fact that the Wizards successfully defended their title.
The next G4 game, in the eyes of most people, has become a battle of honor for the Spurs.
Sima Bobo, who was elected the best coach in the NBA this year, has been in a hurry these past two days.
Because as the Wizards took a 3-0 lead in the Finals...
The American media are questioning his status as the best coach.
Yes, Wizards are strong.
But isn't it possible that the Wizards players were trained by themselves?
They say you, Popovich, can train newcomers... you can train young players, but why, as soon as you met the Wizards in the finals this year, you immediately made a judgment?
Because most sportswriters in America know who their “parents” are.
So don't ask...
The question is, how virtuous and capable is Sima Bobo, and is he worthy to be compared with Zhuge Shuo?
On the 12th, the G4 game of the finals continued at the Spurs' home court.
Before the game started, Duncan, who won the regular season MVP this year, was also in a bad mood.
Although as early as the 00/01 season, Duncan had already tasted the feeling of being swept...
But compared to being swept in other rounds...
At least in the eyes of the stars of this era, being swept in the finals is quite a shame.
Duncan couldn't imagine how people would evaluate him when they talked about him in the future if he was swept in this year's finals.
In Wang Shuo's previous life, some people always said that Duncan had a good personality and did not like competing with others for fame and fortune.
But the fact is, in the NBA, which star who does not compete for fame and wealth can win five championships when he retires in the future?
In 2000, wasn't the reason why Duncan almost swam to Orlando because the Magic offered him a piece of cake that would bring him both fame and fortune?
On this night, Duncan was definitely the most irritable player on the entire Spurs team.
Because since he renewed his contract with the Spurs in 2000, in the 2000/01 season, he was first "OK" in the Western Conference Finals that year and was swept in his career.
Immediately afterwards, in the 2001/02 season, he and his Spurs were eliminated by "OK" in the Western Conference semifinals again.
This season, in any case, the Spurs successfully reached the finals, and he was elected the NBA regular season MVP for the first time in his career.
Can......
As soon as he thinks about the fact that the Spurs have a high probability of missing the championship this year, Duncan will start to think in his mind:
Was it really the right decision for me to stay with the Spurs?
In Wang Shuo's previous life, after winning two trophies with the Spurs in the 2002/03 and 2004/05 seasons, Duncan can certainly tell himself with absolute certainty that his decision to stay with the Spurs was the right one.
But what about this moment?
There are always people who naively believe that people are immutable.
But history has told people countless times that people are the most fickle.
On the court, filled with grief and indignation, Duncan and his teammates officially ushered in this game called G4, which was actually the "Battle of Honor."
In the first quarter of the game, Duncan told people how much he didn't want to lose with his performance of 10 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists in a single quarter.
But the result was that after the first quarter, the away Wizards led 31-24.
In the second quarter of the game, Duncan worked hard on the court to help defend, showing a risk-it-all attitude.
Can......
When Bruce Bowen's defense is no longer dirty, it turns out that this guy's defense is actually just that.
On the court, the old "Admiral" is no longer the teammate worthy of Duncan's trust.
Parker has a sharp offense, but he still needs time to grow.
The "Demon Sword" wanted to be unsheathed, but as soon as it was unsheathed, it would be immediately pushed back by the Wizards' strikers.
If we say that last year when the Wizards ended their three-game winning streak, O'Neal had Kobe as a comforter, and Kobe had O'Neal as a good brother...
At that moment, when Duncan looks back on the court, he will find...
He only has himself.
On the sidelines, Sima Bobo's always downcast face was not because he could still remain calm in front of the world.
It was because his heart had been beaten to the point of collapse by the wizards led by Wang Shuo.
After all, what tactical adjustments do I need to make to deal with this Wizards team?
Sima Bobo couldn't find the answer.
In the second quarter, with 2 minutes and 45 seconds left in the quarter, when Duncan accidentally crashed into the sideline due to a save, he seemed to have found the answer.
Picking up the basketball on the ground and handing it to Duncan, his respectable opponent, Wang Shuo smiled slightly and said: "The game is not over yet. Although you are our opponent, Tim, I still want to remind you." , if you give up now, then this round of finals is really over."
After hearing this, looking at Wang Shuo's handsome face, and then looking back at the Spurs bench, Duncan stood up silently and returned to the court without saying a word.
In fact, this game had already pronounced the Spurs' death sentence as early as the middle of the second quarter.
Before Duncan made the save this time, the score between the two teams on the court tonight had reached 57-35.
As for why Wang Shuo said something to "comfort" his opponent Duncan.
Mainly because Wang Shuo doesn't want this game to end too quickly, otherwise Boss Qiao's data really won't improve. What if Stern doesn't give him the FMVP trophy?
At this moment, he, Wang Shuo, was also helpless, okay?
Yes, you Sima Bobo don’t know how to win, but don’t I have a headache?
Do you know how uncomfortable I feel now just to make you lose slower?
In Wang Shuo's view, the Spurs' hope of losing slower tonight can only be pinned on Duncan.
Because as the point difference between the two teams gradually widens, the only Spurs player who still maintains high fighting spirit is Tim Duncan.
But what Wang Shuo didn't know that night was...
What kind of chain reaction will his impure words to Duncan cause in the future...
On the court, at halftime, 62 to 39.
In the third quarter of the game, the Wizards players once again began their frantic collective feeding of Boss Joe.
Because we know that every ball Jordan makes next may be the last ball of his career.
So God knows how much these "second bosses" didn't want Bilian in order to be the one who sent the final pass to Jordan.
But, even so...
The Spurs, whose morale was becoming increasingly low, failed to take the opportunity to catch up with the score.
With 3 minutes and 15 seconds left in the third quarter, Sima Bobo, who could no longer stand the Wizards "humiliating" himself, decided to withdraw all the main players.
But at this moment, Duncan said unwillingly: "The game is not over yet, I want to work harder."
Popovich, who thought his beloved disciple just didn't want to give up, advised him: "Tim, come back next year."
Duncan shook his head and said, "I still want to try it again."
Popovich continued to persuade: "Tim, the other side is no longer playing the game, it is humiliating us. Can't you see it?"
Duncan still insisted: "They fight theirs and we fight ours. As long as the game is not over, I don't want to give up."
Seeing this, Popovich, who had never seen Duncan as stubborn as tonight, chose to follow Duncan's idea after much hesitation.
Okay, if you want to fight, then go ahead!
Who made you Tim Duncan?
But Popovich, who thought he could make Duncan happy in this way, failed to notice the seed of dissatisfaction that grew in Duncan's heart when he returned to the court.
On the court, watching Jordan walking onto the court talking and laughing with his teammates, Duncan didn't understand.
Why would anyone think the Wizards were humiliating them tonight?
Although during the game, the Wizards' offense was a bit chaotic after the third quarter.
But in Duncan's eyes, their defensive intensity has not declined at all.
Popovich always says that only a serious game attitude can lead to high-quality defense.
Duncan once believed in this.
But in this year's finals, the Wizards, who could always use their tough defense to stop him time and time amidst laughter and laughter, was an eye-opener for Duncan.
"Greg Popovich has always believed that it was his military-style management that enabled the Spurs, who are like an army, to remain competitive in NBA games.
But he didn't know that what really kept him competitive was Tim Duncan. "On the sidelines, Wang Shuo, who had taken out a cigar from his pocket and put on his sunglasses, said as he looked at Duncan who still refused to give up on the court.
On the court, even on this night, Duncan finally scored 30 points and 14 rebounds for the Spurs.
But in the end, he failed to change the Spurs' fate.
The whole game, 121 to 97.
As the timer reaches zero in the final quarter.
Before being replaced in the fourth quarter, Jordan, who received a pass from Hamilton and completed the last shot of his career, was already crying on the sidelines.
As for the TNT TV station, Barkley immediately reported to the U.S. News: "Let us congratulate the Washington Wizards. They successfully defended their title this year!"
On the side, Smith echoed: "Ladies, gentlemen, please let us dedicate to this wizard with the warmest applause and cheers. Congratulations to their success in the 02/03 season NBA championship!"
