Wo Yao Huo Le
At night, at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
"Dear ladies and gentlemen...Welcome to the Western Conference G3 Finals!"
"The Spurs, who are back at home tonight, will face a last stand. Next, let us greet our heroes with the warmest cheers!"
At 07:30 p.m., the Spurs AT&T Center Arena welcomed a large number of die-hard fans.
Following the rhythm of the live DJ master, bursts of warm applause broke out in the auditorium.
As we all know, San Antonio is inferior to Los Angeles in terms of economic status, but their fans are extremely defensive.
AT&T Center is also known as one of the NBA's five devil's home courts, because Spurs fans like to spray people too much.
As strong as Kobe/Jordan and others, and was sprayed by Spurs fans at the AT&T Center.
It is conceivable that Qin Xiao will definitely receive booing from the Spurs players when he treats them like this.
Meanwhile, the Spurs trotted out of the tunnel one by one.
Losing two consecutive battles did not break their will.
It seems that they still have a lot of confidence in this round of the series. This is the strength of an old team!
No matter what kind of difficulties you face, you will never give up easily.
And when the Lakers players came out, the Spurs fans immediately booed wildly.
From time to time, Qin Xiao and the others could hear some yelling at close range, which probably meant that the Lakers would do anything to win.
For the remarks of the Spurs fans, the Lakers players have long been mentally prepared.
Although Qin Xiao gave an explanation in front of the media camera after the last game, the Spurs fans did not agree with that statement.
On the contrary, they firmly believed that the Lakers did it on purpose, especially Qin Xiao and Kobe, the Spurs fans hated it!
"Shit, that Long Guoqin, and Kobe, you two are so inferior, now back to our home court, let you see what a devil's home court is!"
"Tim, you have to lead the GDP combination to play a dominant role, and let their so-called Qinke combination taste our strength!"
Qin Xiao and Kobe didn't take it seriously when they were scolded by the Spurs fans.
The latter has played in the NBA for more than ten years, and has long been used to various big scenes.
As for Qin Xiao, he has a thick skin and a strong psychological quality, so he didn't take what the Spurs fans said to heart at all.
Kobe patted Qin Xiao on the shoulder and said with a smile, "How is it? Are you still used to the environment here?"
Qin Xiao shrugged indifferently, pretending to be foolish and said: "To be honest, it doesn't have any impact. It's just a small scene. Let them have fun first, and then let them see what basketball is called when they are on the court! "
"Haha, I knew you would say that. Of course, if you can say that, I am relieved."
Kobe showed a gratified smile, Qin Xiao was not defeated by the devilish atmosphere in the AT&T Center Arena!
……
At the same time, during the warm-up period before the game, the reporters, as always, interviewed the coaches of both sides.
"Mike, for you guys, tonight will be a fierce battle. Do you think you can still play the same dominance as in the last game when Kobe is suspended?"
Mustache D'Antoni shook his head slightly: "To be honest, it's difficult. Our overall performance in the last game was higher than normal."
"The most important thing is that we were lucky enough to restrain the Spurs tactics in the third quarter to win the G2 game."
"You know, teams like the Spurs don't make the same mistakes, and as the series progresses, their dominance on the court will only get stronger."
"So I don't expect to be able to suppress them tonight, I just hope that I can win the game in the end!"
No matter what, give the opposite party a sip of milk first.
After finishing the interview with Mustache, the reporter walked towards Popovich.
"Coach Popovich, this game is the best time for you to win. The Lakers lack Kobe tonight, and your pressure on the defensive end will be reduced a lot."
"Can you tell me your opinion on this game? Or do you think you can win the final victory?"
Popovich said with some displeasure: "It sounds like you are saying that if Kobe plays, then we can't win the game, right?"
Sure enough, interviewing Popovich is not a good job.
The old man never answered questions according to the routine, but this time he made the reporter unable to deal with it.
"Coach Pop, I didn't mean that, I mean, you guys would be better off without Kobe..."
Seeing the nervousness of the reporter, the old man Bobo swept away his previous seriousness, and suddenly said with a smile: "It looks like you are new here, so you can't take any jokes."
"Okay, then I'll seriously answer your question. What else can I think about the game? I'm a coach and I can only watch from the sidelines."
"As for whether you can win, you will know after watching the game."
……
A few minutes later, the pre-match warm-up ended and the starting lineups of both sides played.
The Lakers' starters are as follows.
Point Guard: Andrew Goodlock
Shooting Guard: Antawn Jamison
Small Forward: Qin Xiao
Power Forward: Pau Gasol
Center: Dwight Howard
The Spurs' starting lineup is as follows.
Point Guard: Tony Parker
Shooting Guard: Manu Ginobili
Small Forward: Kawhi Leonard
Power Forward: Tim Duncan
Center forward: Thiago Splitter
It is worth mentioning that both sides have adjusted their starting lineups.
The Lakers were forced to adjust. Kobe was suspended, so Jamison had to be the top starter. Jamison was also an All-Star at his peak.
But now his ability is far from the peak period, but it is still possible to use some of the residual heat of the veteran.
The Spurs chose to take the initiative to change their formation and let Ginobili enter the starting lineup.
"The intention of Coach Popo's arrangement is obvious, to further enhance the immediate combat power of the starting lineup."
"This approach has advantages and disadvantages. The disadvantage is that their bench lineup lacks an important offensive point."
"But if the starters can play dominant, I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
In the commentary seat, Amy Johnson analyzed seriously.
"What you said makes sense, but I still look forward to what the Lakers will do today. To be precise, I want to see how Qin will perform!"
Shaquille O'Neill chimed in.
During the regular season, Qin Xiao had the experience of leading the team alone and performed very well.
It's just that the playoffs are completely different from the regular season. It's hard to draw conclusions too early about what he can do.
On the court, the two sides made a jump ball in the middle circle, and the Lakers won the first wave of offense.
As soon as Qin Xiao passed halftime with the ball, Xiao Ka directly came up to use his death coil, leaving no room for Qin Xiao to organize an attack at all.
Qin Xiao also didn't expect that the Spurs' defensive strength was so high at the beginning of the game, and he didn't want to entangle with Xiaoka for too long.
[Super-speed dribble] is used, and immediately get rid of Xiaoka's entanglement.
But when he wanted to attack the penalty area, the Spurs outside players immediately shrank to help defend.
They would rather give up the perimeter defense against the Lakers than let Qin Xiao break through the penalty area easily.
The road ahead was blocked, and Qin Xiao decisively released the ball to Jamison who was emptied.
Outside the three-point line, Jamison caught the ball and made a jumper.
"Clang..."
There was a sound of iron striking, and the basketball bounced out of the frame.
Duncan got stuck in the penalty area and protected the backcourt rebound.
"The Spurs defended Qin from the very beginning. This is the consequence of Kobe's suspension. Spurs players can double-team Qin with impunity."
"It doesn't matter if you short Antawn Jamison and Andrew Degulock. After all, they are not the main scoring points. Even if they can shoot, they can't score a few goals."
Looking back, the Spurs attacked.
Ginobili used the cover to find a chance to make a shot, and made a steady mid-range jumper.
In the last game, under Kobe's strict defense, he couldn't move an inch.
In this matchup against Jamison, the pressure was much less, and he successfully scored with his first shot in the opening game.
In the next round, Qin Xiao was double-teamed by the Spurs again.
Not to mention scoring, even shooting has become very difficult.
Just when Qin Xiao chose to pass the ball, Ginobili saw the timing and broke the ball.
He rushed to the frontcourt quickly and played a fast break counterattack.
Score flashing, 0:4
The Spurs' defensive strategy against Qin Xiao has achieved results. Looking at the score on the scorer, Qin Xiao frowned slightly. He felt a lot of pressure tonight!
"Dear ladies and gentlemen...Welcome to the Western Conference G3 Finals!"
"The Spurs, who are back at home tonight, will face a last stand. Next, let us greet our heroes with the warmest cheers!"
At 07:30 p.m., the Spurs AT&T Center Arena welcomed a large number of die-hard fans.
