Killer!
Such a wonderful and intense game ended with such a wonderful buzzer-beater. For neutral fans and Lakers fans, it is definitely something worth going crazy for.
But for Spurs fans, Nash's long-distance passes, Howard and Yi Jianlian's alley-oops, Coach D's roar...
All this made them suffocated and desperate.
Originally, they were the team with the final chance!
Falling behind by 11 points at the beginning, tenaciously tying the score in the end, and finally getting the winning chance. All of this is heading in the direction of perfection and legend.
But in the end, it was the Lakers and Coach D, Nash, Howard, and Yi who achieved perfection and legend!
From the time Nash intercepted Leonard's pass to the final victory, less than 5 seconds, it was heart-breaking pain for the Spurs fans at the scene.
When Ginobili got rid of Nash and came to the basket, they were all ready to celebrate the victory!
But now!
What they saw was the crazy celebration of the Lakers players!
Coach D’s face-riding output in front of their coach Bobo!
What they saw was that Spurs player Leonard looked ashen on the court.
Ginobili held his head, still unable to believe what happened suddenly.
Diaw on the court and Parker on the court looked at the ashen Leonard on the court in disbelief.
The eyes of teammates and fans are like sharp blades that can cut blood!
For the Spurs and Leonard.
These are desperate times.
At this time of extreme despair.
Leonard felt a refreshing coldness appear on the back of his head.
"Kawhi, don't take it to heart. You performed very well throughout the game. It was just a pass."
Tim...Duncan.
Look at the person next to you who is touching your head.
Look at the shy smile on his face.
Leonard wanted to cry.
The attitude of Duncan, the team's big brother, comforted Leonard's lonely soul.
But the Spurs fans at the scene could not find any solace in their lonely hearts at this time.
After Coach D’s shouting that shocked the entire NBA, the Spurs fans at the scene let out huge boos.
Listen to the huge boos at the scene.
Robert Horry said with a smile from behind the Lakers bench.
"Bruce, do I need to tell Nash now, 'You are still the same as before!'"? "
Bowen, who looked extremely ugly, came to his senses and glared at Horry angrily.
"Hmph, let's save it for the next game!"
After Bowen finished speaking, he stood up and walked to the Spurs bench.
Horry, on the other hand, took a deep look at Nash, who was being held up by Oden and Howard. The look on his face was full of memories, and he was a little dazed for a moment.
"I think I just gave him a little push because, you know, Steve has great showmanship and when he falls to the floor, he's like, 'Oh, I'm going to die.' .
I really didn't mean to hurt him, I meant no harm, I like Steve and he's a good guy. "
Horry came to his senses and muttered to himself.
"In the NBA, good guys will always be targeted."
so……
Horry looked at the young head coach who was riding in front of Popovich with a smile on his face.
"Steve, congratulations, you met someone with a gun in hand who can protect you."
Robert Horry smiled and stood up, leaving his seat.
"I have to admit that even though you pushed me down during the game, that doesn't negate the fact that you are a great player.
Although I hesitated for a few seconds, I soon told myself that what you did was actually not that bad. "
About to walk out of the ball
On the court, Horry turned his head and looked at Nash again.
"come on."
G1 of the Western Conference semifinals between the Lakers and Spurs is over.
The Spurs pulled back an 11-point lead, and the Lakers, who were about to be defeated at the last moment, relied on Nash's super steal and century assist to finally defeat the Spurs.
120 to 118!
The Lakers won a valuable away victory at the Spurs' home court.
Nash scored 18 points, 12 assists and 5 steals in the game.
Yi Jianlian scored a team-high 24 points and 12 rebounds.
Howard scored 15 points and 15 rebounds.
Iverson and Carter, who came off the bench, scored 15 and 12 points respectively.
Kobe and Maizi scored 15 points and 13 points respectively.
Ebanks, who came off the bench, also scored 8 points.
Oden played 12 minutes, made 0 of 3 shots and did not score.
Artest and Gasol didn't play enough minutes and didn't score.
It can be said that the Lakers really used their lives in this game, and everyone performed outstandingly.
Even if Oden didn't score, he made a huge contribution to opening up space for Carter and Iverson.
Artest and Gasol worked very hard on the defensive end.
For the Spurs, Parker had 28 points, Duncan had 11 points, Ginobili had 16 points and 11 assists, and Danny Green made 6 of 9 three-pointers and scored 22 points. Danny Green’s three-pointers in this year’s playoffs were very, very good. Yes, Leonard also had 18 points.
In fact, the Spurs' performance was also very team-like.
This game can be played like this, it must be possible because both teams performed very well.
Therefore, after the game, the TNT trio at the scene were still in shock.
"There is no doubt that this matchup between the Spurs and the Lakers is the strongest Western Conference semifinals and conference semifinals I have ever seen. In the history of the NBA, there have never been two such powerful teams playing in the conference semifinals. !」
"The strength shown in this game between the Lakers and Spurs, except for the Heat, no team in the league can win now. Even the Heat, they may be able to beat the Lakers, but they definitely can't beat the Spurs."
"A game like this should be held in the finals!"
The three commentators at TNT were still shocked by this game.
The live broadcast footage is also quite entertaining.
When Du Kang yelled at Popovich, the live broadcast camera kept looking at Du Kang and Popovich.
I want to see if there will be any interesting plot.
Finally, Coach D and Bobo, two super-famous coaches in the NBA, had another fight after the game.
However, in the end, many Lezi people were disappointed.
Popovich didn't fight with Coach D.
Well, of course I didn’t hug Coach D as the winner.
Coach D is already so aggressive and outputting, and he still wants me to hug the winner?
Get out of here, you!
The loss in this game made Popovich feel a little depressed.
Farke!
The UCLA air cut that I carefully built was broken by Coach D, a bastard.
With his careful game direction and rotation, he regained 11 points. He was about to win the game, but was defeated by Coach D, a bastard.
That's him.
If you were an ordinary head coach, your mentality might really be unbearable and completely collapse!
It was originally a game where he should be crowned a god, but in the end it turned into a game where Coach D was crowned a god and Nash was vindicated!
It’s so damn uncomfortable!
Popovich left the court with the Spurs players and walked into the tunnel, his face still very, very dark.
Popovich and the Spurs are gone.
The departure of the host did not affect the excitement after the game at AT&a;T Arena.
Barkley and O'Neill Kenny Smith were surprised to find that Coach D was much more enthusiastic when being interviewed on the road than at home.
At home, Coach D always avoids their interviews. He avoids whenever he can, and there will be absolutely no beeps.
But at the Spurs' home court, Coach D is quite patient.
"He is indeed a Tauren head coach!"
"It's boring to play at your own home court, but it's exciting to show off at someone else's home court!"
Ham and Clifford next to Du Kang looked at each other and felt that they had discovered the quirks of their young head coach.
"Du, you defeated the Spurs in this game. How did you feel when there were five seconds left in the game?"
oh?
Five seconds left in the game?
You must want to hear me say, I'm nervous, I'm scared.
I won't say it!
"I wasn't nervous at all. When I saw Popovich put Diaw on the court at the end, I knew we were going to win the game. I had Steve, he could see through the UCLA system, and you see, in the end we won. Thanks to Pop, if he had let Ginobili hold the ball for 24 seconds and throw it up, I would have been very nervous."
Damn it!
Du Kang's answer shocked Ham and Clifford.
Popovich was walking in the player tunnel when he heard the voice of Du Kang being interviewed on the wall TV and almost fell to the ground.
Farke!
This brat is so bad!
The game is over, and I still need to mess with my mentality!
Do you think just saying that will make me give up on the UCLA cut?
I can’t fight, I won’t fight when Nash is on the court!
I don't believe you can play Nash for 48 minutes!
If you really play Nash for 48 minutes, if I don't defeat the Lakers, I will take your last name!
Budenholzer watched as the color on Popovich's face darkened.
I looked at Coach D on the TV on the wall next to me with fear.
You are really the first to make Bobo so disgusted.
How angry was Popovich?
Fans who know Popovich know this.
Even if he is in a bad mood, the most he can do is tease, scold, or make things difficult for reporters at the post-match press conference.
This time, he didn't even attend the post-match press conference.
He no longer even had the mood to make things difficult for reporters.
Someone suspected to be a Spurs player's family member used a trumpet to break the news on Twitter. After the game, in the locker room, Popovich's hair dryer was blown by all the Spurs players except Duncan.
"What era is it now? Popovich's approach is outdated. He needs to learn from Coach D. Nash tonight is the happiest man in the world!"
However, this small account, which was suspected to be the family member of a Spurs player, was angry and killed by Spurs fans, and finally deleted the post and account.
It can only be said that the fighting spirit of Spurs fans is still strong. Although they don't usually do such things, they just think highly of themselves and don't want to be in the same league as elementary school students.
If they really want to talk, most fans are no match for them.
Moreover, the mobility is amazing.
Even if the account of this Spurs player's family member is deleted, Spurs fans are still determined to catch the mole.
The Spurs have never produced such a young man!
Damn, I also learned from Coach D. How many divisions does Coach D have... Um, no, Coach D, how many championships does he have?
If Leonard hadn't been shaking when passing the ball at the end, it would have been Pop and the Spurs who won the game and became gods!
In particular, after the game, Coach D was too arrogant and acted so aggressively in front of Popovich. This was not a slap in Popovich's face, but a slap in their face.
Not convinced!
Spurs fans are really very dissatisfied with the loss in this game!
Angry!
Angry as never before!
The direct consequence of such dissatisfaction and anger is anger towards Leonard.
Some radical fans began to call Leonard an undercover agent. Well, Leonard is from California.
Where in the United States is the most xenophobic place?
The answer, Texas.
Therefore, there are definitely not just one or two such radical Spurs fans. The next day, many newspapers in Texas were blackmailing Leonard, and even many local national tabloids in the Holy City were mocking Leonard.
Durant, who is also in the Western Conference semifinals, must feel the same way about this.
After losing the G2 game against the Grizzlies, the local media "The Oklahoman" took the lead in "firing" at Durant, calling Durant "Mr. Unreliable" in big letters on the headlines of the newspaper.
Durant is much worse than Leonard.
He had just won the MVP award at home, but was outplayed by the Grizzlies. He worked for 43 minutes and was pestered by Tony Allen for 43 minutes. He scored 36 points, 11 rebounds and 9 assists, and was defeated by his opponent. The media turned around and stabbed her in the back.
Who can bear this?
Durant was not going to take it easy, so he turned around and started complaining on Twitter, forcing the editor of "The Oklahoman" to issue an apology later.
Durant is like this, but Leonard is still just a role player, let alone a halo.
What's even more frightening is that Durant is a giant and can force people to apologize.
Leonard, who do you think you are? For a role player, people and newspapers are not afraid of destroying a role player for the sake of traffic and to cater to the fans.
Also, Leonard doesn’t have a Twitter, which is the scariest thing. He can’t see the people who support him, he only sees the people who hate him.
This is competitive sports.
If your heart is very sensitive, it will be very uncomfortable.
The game between the Lakers and Spurs is over.
The tabloids in the Holy City are frantically attacking Leonard for the sake of sales. They thought that what they were attacking was just a role player and it was no big deal.
And over there in Angeles City.
At this time, it was all passionate celebration.
The day after the game, a large number of fans gathered outside Staples Arena.
I can only say that the game between the Lakers and the Spurs was so exciting. The Lakers' win was so exciting that I couldn't stand it. The Lakers fans couldn't stand watching the game at the time. They didn't expect that the Lakers would end up with... Such a legendary way to win the game.
In short, the fans in Los Angeles are really crazy about being able to defeat the old rival Spurs and defeat the old rival Spurs in this way.
Before the expedition, many Los Angeles media were actually very pessimistic because Coach D led the Lakers players in indifferent preparations.
Some tabloids manipulated by a certain aunt even madly disrupted the Lakers' military morale before the Lakers set off.
He said that as long as the Lakers don't collapse during this away trip, even if they can come back with a big score of 0-2, it will be considered a success.
Now, the Lakers are playing an away game directly at the Spurs!
"There is no doubt that Coach D is the best head coach of this era. When Jerry Buss handed over the position of godfather of the Lakers to Coach D, his last words were: "I have found for you a talented and unyielding man. "The head coach with his ambition." This game once again proved the greatness of Mr. Jerry Buss and the greatness of Coach D. He will become the godfather of the Lakers and he will bring a championship to the Lakers. This season, he can ! "
It can only be said that after the magician completely fell in love with Jim Shu, his words became more and more pleasant.
"Many people said he didn't understand tactics or the system, but he broke the UCLA air cut that none of you could break. I think Mr. John Wooden's spirit in heaven will also be happy for Coach D. Mr. John Wooden was the best person during his lifetime. This is what I hope to see, and Coach D did it. UCLA's air cut is the glory of UCLA. Breaking UCLA's air cut is also the glory of UCLA. Mr. John Wooden is as great as Coach D!"
This is what Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the famous Lakers player, John Wooden's disciple, and UCLA Du Kang's college senior, said in an interview. Du Kang blushed when he said this.
In fact, after the G1 game between the Lakers and the Spurs, the Lakers' famous voices became so nice because the Lakers won an away game.
The Lakers' chances of winning the championship this season have greatly increased.
Let's put it that way.
If the Spurs win this game in this very demoralizing way and the Lakers lose, then these celebrities will probably jump again.
Except, of course, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
After all, Du Kang's senior brother.
After G1, many Lakers legends felt that the Lakers' probability of winning the championship had increased from 25% to at least 40%!
At this time, of course, you have to show your presence like crazy.
In short, the Lakers now defeated the Spurs in G1, and it was such an exciting victory.
The whole world wants to blow Du Kang and the Lakers to the sky.
but.
Are the Lakers really that optimistic?
of course not.
Du Kang doesn't feel that the Lakers are very optimistic now.
the next day.
Du Kang gave the entire Lakers team a day off.
Never left the room.
In the room, he studied the video of the previous game with his two assistants, Ham and Clifford.
"Du, Steve and Yi must be on the court together, otherwise Steve will be under too much pressure!"
"Du, in the G1 game, we rested for more than a week. Steve is full of energy, but in the next game, I'm worried that if you let Steve play for 36 minutes, there will be problems. The same is true for TMC. If you They must be allowed to go to school for such a long time, and I think we should reduce the pressure for them.”
"Steve, you want to decompress them, and we want to, but will Popovich let us decompress? Popovich made it clear in G1 that he wanted to destroy Steve, TMC, and Kobe."
This season, not only Du Kang has grown a lot, but Ham has also grown a lot, which can even make Clifford laugh.
And it still makes sense.
In G1, the Spurs clearly attacked the three best players in the Lakers organization.
Nash, Kobe and Tracy McGrady.
All we can say is that Popovich is really vicious and vicious, forget about Nash and Maizi.
Even Kobe's shots were ruined, and he was not going to let it go. He just wanted to mess with Kobe.
This shows that although Kobe's shooting is bad, except for shooting, he is now top-notch in everything, including ball control and organization.
And that’s not even the biggest challenge.
The real biggest challenge is the Spurs' UCLA cut!
There was no way he was going to let Nash play 48 minutes.
In G1, Iverson and Carter performed well during the rotation phase, but the weak side was still the Lakers.
The Lakers have Nash, although they beat the Spurs@
Howard is the patron saint of the old guys on the Lakers.
Without Howard to protect the frame, the old guys on the Lakers don't know how much more they have to run on the defensive end.
Therefore, this is why Du Kang would rather endure the pain and suppress Corvo for a season to make Howard happy.
When Howard is happy, the old guys on the Lakers can play comfortably.
Otherwise, even if Kobe exhausts himself to death, no matter how much data he collects, it will be useless. He will destroy himself and fail to win the championship in the end.
It's just...Howard...
Howard is good in every way, but there is one thing that is bad about him.
His free throw shooting...is a real pain in the ass.
At the critical moment, what should I do if the Spurs beat the Shark?
In G1, when Howard came up, the two teams were already tied.
In addition, the Spurs have the ball and are the dominant side. Popovich feels that there is no need to kill the shark.
But what about G2?
It will definitely be completely different.
Speaking of which, I have to mention Du Kang's golden potential card.
If Howard's favorability towards him reaches 90, then this golden potential card will definitely be given to Howard at this time.
such a pity.
However, it's not a pity.
In other words, the effect of Nash using this golden potential card is also very outstanding.
Without Nash's physical suppression of UCLA's cut, the issue Du Kang and Ham are discussing now is not Howard's free throws.
It's about how to survive the Spurs' incredible UCLA cutting system.
Therefore, giving the golden potential card to Nash is also a super profitable thing.
After G1, the Lakers got to know the Spurs better, and many things that were just in the mirror became reality.
The Spurs' advantages, the Spurs' shortcomings, the Spurs' true strength, the Spurs' style of play, in short, the Lakers have personal experience of all kinds of things, and they are indeed not comparable to the regular season.
At the same time, the Spurs also know the Lakers better.
Therefore, towards the end of the playoffs, there will be fewer and fewer secrets.
Even, many times, off-field means can determine the outcome of the game.
Of course.
At critical moments, the Lakers have weaknesses, but they also have strengths.
The advantage is that the Lakers have enough superstars. If they really want to play until the last minute and the decisive moment, the Lakers have more players available, which is more reassuring.
In short, at the critical moment, the Lakers and Spurs seemed to be evenly matched.
"TNT said after the end of G1 that our series with the Spurs would go to Game 7, which is absolutely correct."
Clifford sighed.
Tie-break...
This is definitely not something the Lakers want to see.
The Lakers have so many veterans.
In a tiebreaker with the Spurs, you will definitely suffer.
Even if we were lucky enough to defeat the Spurs in the tiebreaker, if we really have to play the Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals and fight the Grizzlies exhausted, this would be... terrible!
Therefore, for the Lakers, a tiebreaker is a failure.
May 8th.
The day of the G2 game between the Lakers and Spurs.
In the morning, the trio of Du Kang and Clifford Hamm were still discussing the game plan.
Before the meeting, Ham and Clifford brought a pile of newspapers.
Ham brought the local newspaper.
Clifford carried newspapers across the United States.
There is nothing good to read in newspapers across the United States. They are all praising him and the Lakers. This kind of newspaper can only lighten the mood.
If you want to read it, you should read the local newspaper that criticizes him and the Lakers. Maybe some Spurs news will be leaked in it.
It’s not that some domestic fans have been ridiculing the domestic football media. They are simply spies of the opponent. They understand the preparations of the Chinese team and look at the Chinese football media. It is correct that the Chinese football media is well aware of the disdain and shortcomings of Chinese football players.
"Hey, still
Are you trolling Leonard? "
"Du, this is very normal. You may have never played in the NBA and don't know that in the NBA, no player can run away after making such a mistake."
"Darwin is right, Jordan, Kobe, Durant, even if they don't make mistakes, they can't escape if they lose the game."
"That's it."
Du Kang smiled and nodded, his eyes brightening.
"Today's meeting will be closed. I'll think about it myself first. Darwin, Steve, you guys go to the training hall and, um, practice Howard's free throws."
Ham and Clifford looked at each other.
It's nothing to practice Howard's free throws.
But is there really no need to hold a meeting?
Although we can't find a way to defeat the Spurs, wouldn't it be great if we all stick together and comfort each other?
You see, after the meeting, Ham started to tremble and felt no sense of security at all.
Things decided by Du Kang are never open to discussion.
Although Clifford was puzzled, he still took the shivering and insecure Ham out.
After Clifford and Ham leave.
Du Kang began to adjust the basic parameters needed to simulate the game.
First, the intensity of the game is maximized, and then, the defense becomes more aggressive.
Du Kang had no intention of simulating victory.
But... increase the intensity of this game.
Let the two teams take more free throws.
"Ding, do you want to consume 200MP to simulate the playoffs with the Spurs?"
"yes."
In the first simulation, the game was lost.
In this game, four Lakers players, including Wheat, Nash, Howard, and Oden, were injured and were carried off the field on stretchers.
However, Du Kang's eyes lit up.
"Ding, do you want to consume 200MP to simulate the playoffs with the Spurs?"
"yes."
In the second simulation, the Lakers still lost. Four players, including Maizi, Nash, Howard, and Oden, were carried off the field on stretchers again.
But Du Kang's eyes brightened even more.
"Ding, do you want to consume 200 MP to simulate the playoffs with the Spurs?"
"yes."
In the third simulation, the Lakers still lost, and in the end, in addition to the four mentioned above, even Kobe was taken off the field on a stretcher at the end.
This is a simulated game. It can only be said that the Lakers must not compete head-on with the beasts.
In the third high-intensity game, the Lakers were miserable.
but!
Du Kang stood up excitedly.
The simulated game of the playoffs is for reference only.
This is just for reference, it’s great!
"Little cutie, I caught you!"
The Spurs training facility.
Popovich is also supervising Spurs players practicing free throw shooting.
With a dark face, Popovich stared at Split, Diaw, Blair, and Bonner, the four players who had the opportunity to play but whose free throw percentage was less than 80% in the regular season to practice extra free throws.
After the G1 match between the Lakers and Spurs, he certainly discovered the current situation of the Lakers and Spurs.
G1 has lost and G2 must win.
Although the media said the Lakers and Spurs will play a tiebreaker.
But you haven’t won a single game and you’re leading the tiebreaker?
Win one game first, and then you can slowly think about other games.
"Bobo, are we really going to kill Huo in the next game?"
"Um."
"Even if we kill Huo, Coach D wouldn't dare to kill us, right?"
Budenholzer was a little confused.
Has Coach D really lost his temper?
Spurs players take free throws very accurately.
Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, Leonard, Green, this
The free throws in the regular season this season were very accurate, and Ginobili was the worst, with 79%, but does Coach D dare to kill Ginobili?
Then the other four main players all have free throw shooting rates above 80%!
Budenholzer felt that after Bobo lost in G1, he was a little overwhelmed.
"Mike, you don't understand Coach D. The air this kid breathes is twisted and poisonous."
"..."
"By the way, did the cheerleader director take care of things?"
"Well...they were kicked out because they were disgusted..."
Um? !
Aren’t my Holy City cheerleaders sexy enough?
Isn’t it said that the two bees in the Holy City are not selective about food?
Popovich was dumbfounded.
What about the promised Los Angeles Double Bee?
"I heard that Coach D invited some Hollywood stars to come to the Holy City to serve as psychological teachers for the Lakers players... Howard and Yi's relationship was also included, and they didn't dare to touch it."
"Fake!"
Popovich felt that his mentality was really broken by Coach D!
What is your kid's head made of?
Can you imagine such an insidious thing?
Go to hell with the psychology teacher!
"Dwight, Ah Lian, you seem to be in a good mood."
"Coach, you are my second parent!"
hehe.
Seeing that Howard recognized his father, Du Kang smiled.
"There are thousands of roads, and safety is the first priority. If driving is irregular, my loved ones will shed tears."
After Du Kang finished speaking, he took the Lakers players onto the bus.
"Yi, what did the coach mean just now?"
Ah Lian blushed and was a little embarrassed, not knowing how to answer.
Finally, looking at Howard's curious eyes, he suppressed a sentence.
"The coach praised your skills."
"Hahahaha, let me just say that the coach is the greatest head coach in history, hahahaha..."
Ebanks next to him looked at the red star in his hand, and finally squeezed it tightly, feeling that it was hopeless.
