Ginobili and Antetokounmpo are also 'old enemies' and 'old rivals'.
Why do Spurs fans think Antetokounmpo is the stupidest kid in the NBA?
It was because of the matchup between Ginobili and Antetokounmpo when the Spurs and Lakers met for the first time in the regular season.
Ginobili tried to draw a defensive foul on Antetokounmpo from outside the three-point line.
Ginobili just clicked, and Antetokounmpo was about to fly. Seeing how naive the young man was, of course Ginobili wanted to jump on Antetokounmpo. Three free throws were so cool, and it was okay by the way. Let this simple rookie know the dangers of the NBA.
At that time, Ginobili was already ready to shoot free throws.
In the end, Ginobili jumped up and was dumbfounded. Antetokounmpo, who was about to take off, saw that his shoelaces were loose, but instead of flying in the end, he squatted down to tie his shoelaces!
Then!
Bang!
Ginobili, who was trying to commit a foul, bumped into Antetokounmpo hard, knocking the young man and Ginobili dumb.
Ginobili thought it was an offensive foul. After colliding with Antetokounmpo, he fell backward in an exaggerated manner, as if Antetokounmpo had committed an offensive foul.
This scene is one of the hottest, most popular, and funniest GIFs among NBA fans. It is even more popular than any other GIF between Deng and Ginobili.
Moreover, this famous scene did not just give birth to this famous GIF.
There are more at the back.
After Ginobili fell to the ground, he rolled there in pain. Antetokounmpo looked at Ginobili rolling there with a look of shock, as if he had never thought that the pure NBA could be so disgusting. Dark things.
Ginobili is rolling, Antetokounmpo's eyes are like a GIF that has collapsed the worldview. It is also one of the most popular funny GIFs in the NBA. It is used in many places and is often quoted. It is also used by NBA fans. Affectionately known as the NBA version of Professor Bu.
Do you think this is over?
No, this screen also has a Gif of a famous scene.
The referee couldn't stand it anymore and blew the whistle for a foul on Ginobili. Ginobili, who had been writhing on the ground in pain just now, suddenly stood up.
This Gif of Ginobili is also very funny and popular. Even many Spurs fans are embarrassed for Manu every time they see this Gif, but they also laugh politely.
These three popular GIFs have completely established Ginobili as the NBA's number one actor and comedian.
Do you want to say whether Manu is willing to take the title of the NBA's No. 1 Best Actor and No. 1 Comedian?
Obviously, Manu definitely doesn't want it.
Not very harmful, but extremely insulting!
Since then, Ginobili fans want to laugh when they see Ginobili.
It's amazing that Ginobili, the Argentinian Jordan who thinks he is cool and handsome, has become the NBA's number one comedian. Who can bear this?
Even Ginobili's family can no longer bear to look at Ginobili.
After all, these three Gifs have already broken the circle!
This season, Manu's life in the NBA has been nothing short of life, and he has been surrounded by the laughter of fans all day long.
As the instigator of his own tragic experience, Ginobili is of course angry with Antetokounmpo.
If this kid hadn't been lucky and saw that his shoelaces were loose and didn't take off in the end, otherwise he would have made three free throws!
And this is also one of the origins of Antetokounmpo’s nickname, Lucky Giannis.
Antetokounmpo is a stupid boy. Foolish people have stupid blessings. Because of his stupidity, he has escaped a lot of plots in the NBA.
So many people say that Antetokounmpo is the luckiest person in the NBA.
Well, Antetokounmpo is the luckiest man in the NBA. The starting point of this title is not the Christmas Day game in New York.
It's the matchup between Antetokounmpo and Ginobili.
In short, in this matchup between Antetokounmpo and Ginobili, Ginobili suffered a big loss.
Now, I finally have a chance to take revenge!
This time, Coach D actually asked Antetokounmpo to face him directly. Isn’t this great?
Let’s see if I don’t beat him to death in this game!
The game between the Lakers and Spurs came to the third quarter.
In the second half, the Lakers still insisted on pressing the whole court. This was really uncomfortable for the Spurs.
The Spurs must break the Lakers' crazy full-court press.
Ginobili became the key to breaking the game for the Spurs.
The whole world knows that Ginobili will be the focus of the Spurs in the third quarter. Coach D did not let Roy on the court face Ginobili, nor did he replace McAway, but let Antetokounmpo Go to counterpoint.
Spurs fans aren't the only ones who think Coach D is crazy.
Even the Lakers fans in front of the TV and Kobe and McGrady in the ward also didn't understand.
Ginobili is indeed difficult to deal with. The best defender for the entire Lakers against Ginobili is Tracy McGrady, and Kobe is not very suitable.
Whether it's suitable or not, it still has some use, but now, apart from luck, Antetokounmpo really has no use at all.
Luck is such an elusive thing.
"I think the coach should have his own considerations!"
After Maizi finished speaking, Kobe also nodded.
At this moment, on TV, the third quarter of the game between the Lakers and Spurs began.
Duncan served from the baseline and sent the ball directly to Ginobili.
Parker's game was too heavily posted.
Leonard's current dribbling skills are not very strong, and coupled with his height, he is not suitable.
Ginobili is indeed a good choice, and Antetokounmpo is so tall, it is not easy to steal Ginobili.
Ginobili should be able to pass Antetokounmpo easily.
However, the scene that made Popovich feel relaxed did not appear.
The golden coil of death.
The golden marking master.
Coupled with Antetokounmpo's height and athletic ability, his pressing ability is quite good.
Antetokounmpo has 7 golden defensive skills, which were opened by Stephen Jackson's gift package.
Stephen Jackson's gift package is a reward for completing Stephen Jackson's personal mission of bloodbathing the Holy City.
All I can say is that it is really a cycle.
Because Antetokounmpo’s offensive attributes and offensive skills are not that good, he basically has no use except for fast break dunks and breakthrough dunks. Antetokounmpo’s Bronze Dream Card, the quality of the game is still It's too low. It's full of outside moves and full of combat effectiveness, but it's really not enough to practice basketball skills.
But defense, especially defense on the perimeter, is very good.
Height on the inside, athleticism on the outside, and defensive skills on the outside.
If it were Ginobili at his peak, perhaps Antetokounmpo's agility wouldn't make sense.
But now, it is impossible for Ginobili to get rid of Antetokounmpo's pressing.
Antetokounmpo also did not steal Ginobili and covered Ginobili. Not only was Ginobili unable to pass, but even his teammates could not see clearly.
In Ginobili's mind, the impression of his first confrontation with Antetokounmpo was too deep.
So Ginobili’s understanding of Antetokounmpo was still at that time.
In fact, the current Antetokounmpo is completely different after being equipped with Stephen Jackson's 7 golden defensive skills.
The difference between Antetokounmpo and Ginobili was not only dumbfounded.
Even Popovich and Spurs fans on the sidelines were dumbfounded.
Including this one are the three commentators from TNT.
Also includes all viewers in front of the television.
The viewers in front of the TV were dumbfounded.
"Is this stupid big guy so good at perimeter defense?"
"Is this the lucky Giannis of the Lakers? Don't Lakers fans themselves say that their lucky Giannis is nothing but lucky?"
In fact, I don’t blame the fans and audiences of these other teams.
Even Lakers fans themselves are confused.
After Nash and three other acting head coaches took over, Antetokounmpo's status in the Lakers was neither high nor low, his playing time was neither too much nor too little, and his performance opportunities were neither high nor low.
position in the team.
If you count the insiders, they are definitely below Yao Ming, Oden, Olajuwon and O'Neal. If you count the small forwards, they are definitely below Ebanks, Kobe and Tracy McGrady, and Jackson and Artest. Pretty much the same.
With such a role as the eighth or tenth man on a team, and the fact that the team's three acting coaches can't believe the young players, it's easy to imagine his presence in the Lakers.
No merit, no fault.
Even the presence is not as strong as Kanan's.
After all, Kanan is collectively criticized by Lakers fans every time he plays. He is a standard scapegoat.
As for Antetokounmpo and Covington, basically after they play, they are just supporting players, and fans will not pay attention to them.
Even Lakers fans can't pay attention to them, so how can other fans pay attention?
Antetokounmpo is very popular, but his popularity comes entirely from those three GIFs and the luck of the Madison incident.
In other words, Antetokounmpo is actually the mascot of the Lakers.
As for basketball prowess.
That's very embarrassing. Ask Nash, ask Hamm, and ask Clifford to see if they think Antetokounmpo is a player with basketball ability.
Antetokounmpo was very good at chasing down the ball in the first half.
This has shocked everyone.
And now, Antetokounmpo's defensive defense against Ginobili is really terrifying!
How scary is it?
It was so horrifying that Popovich looked angrily at Ham, Clifford and Nash, the three former acting head coaches of the Lakers.
There's something wrong with you guys!
A young player who is such a good defender, you guys actually used him as a mascot! ! !
Facing Popovich's gaze, Ham, Clifford and Nash were also confused.
Within the Lakers, Antetokounmpo actually plays mostly inside.
In training games and training, Antetokounmpo is often Yao Ming's partner, or Olajuwon's partner.
Antetokounmpo's performance on interior defense is only the same because he has not yet hung up his strength. His athletic ability cannot make up for his weakness in strength in many cases.
Coach D also asked them to try Antetokounmpo on the outside. However, the Lakers' outside forwards are players like Wheat, Kobe, and Ebanks. Antetokounmpo really has no chance to perform, and he has no chance to perform. With his offensive ability, Nash and the others don't dare to put him on the outside.
In the end, this resulted in the current situation.
Seeing Popovich angrily glaring at the Lakers' three acting head coaches made many Lakers fans in front of the TV laugh.
"Our Wolong Fengchu acting coach actually made a meritorious service!"
"It's normal for Nash and the others to not be able to use Coach D's players well. It can only be said that Coach D is too strong, not that Nash and the others are too weak. Well, they must be good. After all, they are all rookies."
After the third quarter between the Lakers and Spurs started, the Lakers fans in front of the TV were really worried that the Lakers would be defeated by Ginobili in the third quarter of the game because of Antetokounmpo.
Everyone is worried about that.
But now, Lakers fans are so happy to see the Spurs letting Ginobili's attack on Antetokounmpo be blocked.
Now the Lakers fans are happy, but the Spurs fans at the scene are uncomfortable.
In the third quarter, the brutal war of attrition continued.
Ginobili couldn't break the game for the Spurs.
The Spurs fans at the scene were getting more and more impatient.
On the court, Ginobili is also very impatient now.
After being covered by Antetokounmpo again, Ginobili did not choose to call for the cover of his teammates this time, but directly rushed forward, leaning against Antetokounmpo as if he was about to force a breakthrough.
"Boy, NBA games are not just about basketball!"
Ginobili's promising appearance deceived Antetokounmpo's sideways movement to break through the defense.
Almost at the same time as Antetokounmpo turned sideways, Ginobili was ready to take a sudden step and fall to the ground directly next to Antetokounmpo.
Seeing Ginobili's actions, Popovich's eyes lit up on the sidelines.
"Manu is still reassuring!"
Since you can't get through with strength, then commit a foul!
If Antetokounmpo is built, the Lakers will lose one fighting force and the consumption will be even greater!
If Antetokounmpo is eliminated, the Lakers' rotation will have problems, and the Lakers' disgusting full-court press will no longer exist!
Just as Popovich was waiting for Ginobili to suddenly fall to the ground, Antetokounmpo on the court suddenly let out an excited scream!
Almost at the same time as Antetokounmpo screamed, Ginobili fell down in an exaggerated manner.
Seeing this scene, the Spurs fans at the scene were a little confused.
After being stunned for 0.1 seconds, many Spurs fans felt like laughing.
Damn it!
Can the replay be stopped on the big screen?
When Ginobili broke through, his hand just hit Antetokounmpo's shoulder.
Antetokounmpo did not fall to the ground, but shyly shouted in excitement.
But Ginobili fell to the ground in pain first.
Ginobili fell to the ground in pain and kept rolling.
Seeing Ginobili rolling on the ground, the Spurs players on the court couldn't stand it.
Manu, stop acting. Don’t you realize that the current atmosphere is wrong?
In fact, Manu has already noticed that something is not right in the atmosphere.
Shouldn't the Spurs fans at the scene be booing like crazy right now?
Why were the fans at the scene so quiet?
Are you worried about me?
Is it because I overacted and was worried that I might be too injured like Tracy McGrady and Kobe?
In this case, should I act less exaggeratedly?
If I don't act exaggerated, I'm afraid the referee won't call it a blow!
Nowadays, NBA games are so intense that they just need to be exaggerated!
No matter what, just get out of here first!
Beep beep beep!
The referee's whistle finally sounded!
Ginobili, who was on the ground, heard the whistle and secretly glanced at the referee.
I was dumbfounded!
The referee pointed the foul gesture at him again!
stupid?
Was it my offensive foul again? !
Is there something wrong with you?
Didn't you see how painful I was just now?
This is still the home ground of our Holy City!
Do you want to bully people like this?
Manu suddenly stood up and went to the referee to argue.
Then, he was caught by Duncan who was about to pull Manu up.
After Duncan caught Manu, he didn't say anything and just pointed to the replay on the big screen.
Ginobili looked up and felt embarrassed.
For a time, there was an awkward atmosphere in the entire AT&T Arena.
Compared with the embarrassment of the Spurs fans on the sidelines of the court, the commentators in the commentary box were not embarrassed at all.
O'Neal, Barkley, Kenny Smith, everyone was laughing.
"Hahahaha, Manu contributed another famous diving scene for us, hahahaha... Antetokounmpo is too honest. If it were Ibaka, Griffin would have fallen to the ground in pain. , he actually just screamed physically, instead of falling to the ground, he blushed, hahahaha... so cute!"
"Hahahaha, Charles, this time I declare that the great Shaq approves your evaluation of Antetokounmpo. It's so damn honest, so damn funny, and so damn cute. I declare that Antetokounmpo is The most honest player in NBA history, hahahaha!"
"After being beaten down by Ginobili, Antetokounmpo screamed and blushed. This scene will definitely provide another interesting topic for the fans!"
In fact, at this time on the Internet, the GIF of Ginobili playing down Antetokounmpo has been released.
And whether it's in the United States or China, the popularity of this GIF exploded instantly!
It's really strange that Antetokounmpo's performance after being downplayed!
Most honest people are embarrassed to comment on Antetokounmpo.
O'Neal said he is the most honest player in NBA history!
Such an honest person would be embarrassed to call Antetokounmpo a foul even if the referee wanted to favor the Spurs.
Even when Ginobili watched the replay, the expression on his face became unnatural.
Damn it!
What a shame!
I wanted to give Antetokounmpo a foul, but it ended up like this!
Antetokounmpo could obviously fall to the ground, but this kid just screamed and blushed in shame. Not to mention falling to the ground, he didn't even complain to the referee that he was knocked down.
It was made as if after being downplayed, it was something that was very embarrassing and could not be spoken out.
groove!
I have been in the NBA for so many years, but I have suffered twice in front of such a fool!
Ginobili is numb!
What made Ginobili even more numb was.
The referee gave him a warning after calling him a common foul.
"Manu, if you don't want us to give you a T, you'd better not do such things again. You should learn from this young man. Your body is not that soft. You are an NBA player, an NBA legend!"
"..."
After being warned, Ginobili was speechless.
Even more speechless was Popovich on the sidelines.
He couldn't stand Manu's exaggerated foul play just now.
After this game, even if Manu is killed by Antetokounmpo, the referee will not blow the whistle, right?
It is impossible for Antetokounmpo to kill Ginobili.
However, after Ginobili failed to cause an exaggerated foul this time, Antetokounmpo's defensive intensity against Ginobili increased, and many of them were actions between fouls and non-fouls.
This kind of action is still the home court of the Spurs. Generally speaking, it is not called completely, but will be called once or twice to warn Antetokounmpo.
However, the referee didn't call it even once.
The referee didn't criticize Antetokounmpo's big defensive moves, and the Spurs fans at the scene didn't even have any objections!
This is the home court of the Spurs!
Seeing this scene, Nash, Clifford and Ham on the sidelines were dumbfounded.
Some of our away players actually enjoyed the treatment at home!
"Du, this..."
"So, you need to exercise restraint when doing things. Honest people will not suffer the consequences."
Du Kang smiled.
Antetokounmpo's ability to play without falling to the ground will give him a lot of extra points in the hearts of fans and referees.
Personality is very important in the NBA.
Once your character is established, it will be difficult to collapse as long as you don't seek death in the NBA.
Now everyone knows that Antetokounmpo is the most honest person in the NBA, so those 50-50 penalties in the future will definitely favor Antetokounmpo.
Just this time, Antetokounmpo was suddenly attacked by Ginobili.
The referees and Spurs fans must be thinking, who wouldn't be angry if they were beaten down and attacked? It's normal for Antetokounmpo to be angry. His movements were a little bigger, and it wasn't an obvious foul, and there was no malice. Ginobili, as the instigator and the person who did bad things, should bear some intensity. What's wrong?
Then, Manu felt uncomfortable. It was not easy to beat Antetokounmpo in the first place, but now it has reached the level of hell.
Popovich was also uncomfortable. The result he wanted never came. He was still beaten by Coach D, and his UCLA air cut still had no trace!
Very shocked!
Everyone at the scene was shocked!
All the viewers in front of the TV were also shocked!
In the third quarter of the second half, the whole world knew that the Spurs would definitely try their best to regain the situation. This was the most dangerous time for the Lakers.
The Lakers may not be able to withstand it!
But in the third quarter, no one expected that the Lakers could withstand it!
Antetokounmpo blocked Ginobili's attack by himself!
After the third quarter, the score was 70 to 68!
The Lakers are still in the lead!
After an intermission in the third quarter, the Spurs prepared so much, but in the end, they only recovered 2 points!
You know, in the third quarter, the Spurs' five starters almost played the entire quarter!
In this case, only two points were recovered!
The third quarter is over.
At this time, the players of the two teams were visibly tired!
The full-court press in the third quarter!
Even though the two teams rotated frequently in this game.
But the starting players of both teams are already very tired.
Yao Ming, O'Neal Jr., Ebanks, Antetokounmpo, Roy, Duncan, Gasol, Danny Green, Leonard, Parker, Ginobili, the starting lineup of both teams is very good. exhausted.
But no matter how tired they are, at this point in the game, both teams need to continue to fight, and there is no way out.
"Is it Coach D's fault? Or is Popovich giving Coach D the first round!"
Up to this point in the game, everyone’s hearts are tightening.
Even Phil Jackson's palms were sweating in front of the TV.
"It's so cruel. The two teams played so cruelly in this game!"
Even though the two teams continued to rotate, the full-court press for three consecutive quarters still put the two teams' physical strength on the verge of collapse.
In the fourth quarter of the game, the two teams still rotated five up and five down.
But from the initial four-minute rotation, it has been shortened to the current two-minute rotation.
Players go down to the court to rest for two minutes before coming back up. This is basically the same as not taking any rest.
But there is no way, the players on the court can't stand it anymore!
"The two teams are really gritting their teeth and fighting again!"
"Twelve players can be played in a game, but the two teams actually beat all 10 players of their own team to the point of exhaustion!"
"This game is incredible!!!"
With 3 minutes left in the game, the Spurs once again replaced their starters.
Duncan, Gasol, Green, Leonard, Parker.
As they walked onto the court, the five Spurs players were visibly tired.
Even if they rested for two minutes, they were still exhausted.
However, the five of them are still fighting.
"Persistence is victory! As long as we persist, the Lakers will fall!!!"
When the five people walked to the court, Popovich was still frantically encouraging the five Spurs players in the decisive battle.
Yes, the game has reached this level, persistence is victory, there is nothing wrong with it.
Even if you die on the court, you must win this game!
Listen to Popovich yelling from the sidelines.
Look at the perseverance on the faces of the Spurs players at this time.
This game is truly shocking!
"This is one of the most shocking playoff games in NBA history!"
"In the history of the NBA, there has never been a game where the press defense was played from beginning to end!"
"No, there is no such game in the history of basketball!"
"After Coach D and Popovich made history last season, their match this season has created history again!"
"No matter what the final result of this game is, Coach D succeeded. Without Kobe and Tracy McGrady, he dragged the powerful Spurs, who were overlooking them from the sky, into the mud and rolled with them. !”
"Having blocked Popovich's powerful UCLA cuts for two consecutive seasons, Coach D created a myth in the American basketball coaching world!!!"
At this time, TNT's three commentators were crazily touting this game.
If it were normal times, hearing these three people brag like this, the NCAA coaches and professionals in front of the TV would definitely sneer at them.
But in this game, they have no objection to the praise of TNT's three top teams.
Even, that’s what they think!
"This game is so crazy!!"
"Both teams used up all their bullets!"
"There has never been a game in the history of basketball! The most cruel game in history!"
Old Nelson.
Pat Riley.
Larry Brown.
Jerry West.
Michael Jordan.
…
Everyone who was paying attention to this game, whether they were fans, celebrities, or professionals, were shocked by this cruel game.
Now, the whole world is waiting for the judgment of the last three minutes of this game!
Yes, it is judgment, the judgment of God!
Considering the current state and physical strength of the two teams, in the last three minutes, basically there is no need to talk about strength, it just depends on luck!
It's basically difficult to score a shot.
Both teams must have all shrunk to the basket.
Never let your opponent score under the basket.
Of course, if you're lucky and hit a shot from the outside, it could very well be the decisive score.
This is called luck!
Everyone is fighting for the last breath, and whoever loses the last breath and finally collapses will lose.
While the three TNT members were still bragging about this match crazily.
Suddenly, there was another exclamation from the scene.
"Huh?!"
The three people were stunned after a burst of exclamation, as stunned as the Spurs fans at the scene! ! !
Because, the Lakers' decisive lineup is not their main force! ! !
To be precise, not all of their main forces!
Olajuwon, Oden, Ebanks, Roy, and Reggie Miller! ! ! !
Seeing Reggie Miller about to play and hugging Coach D, the Spurs fans at the scene were really shocked!
No, all the viewers who watched this game were shocked!
After a moment of silence, the three members of TNT shouted again!
“Reggie Miller is playing for the first time in this game!!!”
“Coach D was the Lakers’ 12th man for this game!!!”
"Yao didn't play, Antetokounmpo didn't play, and Reggie Miller did. Are the Lakers finally going to collapse?! Is Coach D finally unable to withstand it?!"
"If he wasn't really desperate, Coach D would never play a player who has never been played in this game at such a fatal moment!!!"
"No matter how tired the main players of the two teams are in this game, the intensity of this game is still not something that players who have never played in this game can adapt to!"
"There is only one possibility, and that is that the physical strength of the Lakers players has finally collapsed!!!"
This is the judgment of the TNT trio, the judgment of most of the viewers, and most of the commentators.
However, he was still in the commentary box at CCTV. Teacher Zhang Lili was equally excited and his voice was trembling at the same time!
"Coach Xiao Du did not play Dayao at the critical moment. Dayao's physical strength must have collapsed, but this is not a bad thing for the Lakers, it is a good thing. Now the Lakers need vitality!!! Coach Xiao Du once again made a A gamble, a gamble that Popovich doesn’t dare to take!!!!”
"I know many people are scared, and I know you are all worried about the Lakers and coach Xiao Du, but!"
“What I’m telling you is this!
Wait for the cheers!
Coach Xiao Du has never lost a bet! "
When he said this, Teacher Zhang Lili even stood up excitedly.
"Heiba, in this series, Coach Xiao Du will definitely win this series!!!!"
"Spurs, no chance!!!"
glory!
Still a shame!
Never lose!
This is the first time I lost!
At this moment, the entire land of China was so shocked by Teacher Zhang that his scalp went numb!
Today’s second update.
