Chapter 465 464: Brother Li, my own person! (Please give me a monthly ticket!)

After the half-time game, the Spurs were already 15 points behind.

O'Neal Jr.'s return directly broke the balance of this round of series.

Although Xiao Ao has passed his peak, his performance today is very strong.

On the offensive end, it can restrain Duncan and make it impossible for Duncan to help defend Li Ang wholeheartedly.

On the defensive end, O'O can also make Duncan uncomfortable, so that Li Ang won't be able to deal with the two people all the time like in the last game.

In addition, Xiao Ao also has another role in defense, which is to make Li Ang's closing board easier.

In the last game, Li Ang wanted to grab a rebound from Duncan, so he had to lose his power and was even forced to make a timeout in the air.

Now, Li Ang only needs three steps to grab the rebound: run in, jump up, and catch the ball.

There is Thunder Ibaka behind, and there is currently a small O'Card eight.

Xiao Ao's first move was as fierce as a tiger, with only 5 rebounds in the first half.

However, Li Ang captured 8 rebounds in the first half, so you cannot judge the role of some players by data, you have to judge by the data of his teammates.

The Spurs cannot gain an advantage in the inside, which makes them play very passively.

Don’t look at the last game, the Suns also left the Spurs more than ten points behind in half. But you have to know that Li Ang didn’t have a minute to rest in the last game.

Today, the Suns were able to lead the Spurs by 15 points under the normal rotation of Li Ang.

It turns out that the man who does big things still needs to have a good wife at home.

When Xiao Ao came back, Li Ang felt much more relaxed.

Xiao Ao was also very excited when he was in the locker room during the intermission.

When the team was in the most dangerous situation, he was finally no longer a spectator.

At this time, Tomjanovic had just changed his urine bag. Every time the master changed his urine bag during halftime, the morale of the Suns players will be greatly boosted.

The fans all thought to themselves, if the master is so miserable, he is still persisting, so what qualifications do we have to give up?

Tomjanovic probably didn't know that he had become the first person to make chicken soup with urine.

The atmosphere on the Suns is very optimistic and positive, and the game is about to end completely in the second half.

On the other end, Popovich gritted his teeth in the locker room.

Damn it, Li Ang and Duncan fought one-on-one, but Li Ang actually called to shake people!

You don’t abide by the rules of the world!

Li Ang: It’s nothing wrong with Duncan fighting both of us alone. It’s indeed a one-on-one challenge. Why don’t he abide by the rules of the world?

Besides, if you have the ability, you can shake people. If you have the ability, you can shake Ginobili from the hospital bed.

If you can't shake it, you'll ruin yourself hahahaha!

Popovich has been working on the job for so many years, but he didn't expect that this year, a reverse work has made him half-dead.

Duncan was covering his knees at this time, and the continuous high-intensity battle made Duncan's knees sore.

Duncan's knees have always been very fragile, and in fact, since the meniscus torn in 2000, Duncan has been suffering from injuries.

It is worth mentioning that Kidd, the Suns' star, was also missing due to injury that year, and only participated in one game in the first round. In the series where Duncan and Kidd were healthy two years ago, the Spurs eliminated the Suns. In that series, Spurs point guard Johnson performed well, and averaged a career-high 20.5 points per game, which seemed to be 64%. Kidd performed poorly, averaging only 14 points per game, shooting 37%.

Kidd:???

Is there anything to do with this matter?

Two years ago, Duncan suffered from plantar fasciitis again, which caused his legs to be imbalanced, which greatly weakened Deng Liang's strength.

However, Duncan's simple playing style and solid skills have made him still one of the best inside players in the league after his athletic ability was greatly weakened.

So much so that many people forget that he is actually an old patient. If you look closely, you will even find that Duncan’s knees cannot even be fully extended!

So, don’t blame Duncan for only playing 45° to hit the board. With his physical condition, others can’t even play 45° to hit the board.

After the last game, Duncan was very tired.

In this game, O's attempt to make things worse, and it made Duncan feel depressed.

He felt that he needed a rest. Although he was a rookie, Duncan had been fighting in the league for almost 10 years, and he was very clear about his physical condition.

If you continue to hold on, your knees will be unhappy.

But the team was 15 points behind at this time, and it was another life-and-death battle, so Duncan really couldn't sit idly by.

So he covered his knees, moved for a while, and decided to play the second half.

If you stick to another half, it should be fine?

After the second half of the game began, the Spurs still couldn't narrow the gap.

Li Ang's firepower is indeed not as perverted as the last game. After all, Li Ang was blessed with the Avengers badge in the last game, so he scored goals in double teams many times.

But the Spurs' offense was also a mess, and the two teams were really better today.

The iron-striking hit Stern in the third quarter made him feel hurt. He never expected that the Suns would one day play such an ugly defensive battle.

To be precise, in any series with the Spurs, nine out of ten games are defensive battles.

From this perspective, the Spurs are simply the cancer of the league!

The defense of both sides is so tight that Kidd and Rondo, the three-pointer, began to score three-pointers.

Li Ang was already tired, Kidd and Rondo kept shooting, so he became even more tired.

Li Ang really wants them to stop calm as soon as possible. If you are not tired, I will be tired even if I grab the board!

After the third quarter, the two teams scored 62-50, and the Suns were still leading by 12 points.

The Spurs only scored 50 points after the third quarter, but it is clear how embarrassed their attacks were.

Popovich knew that if he continued to play, he would definitely lose the game.

He has to break the balance on the field.

If you want to win, you still have to take an unusual path.

So, Popovich watched Pachuria, who had no chance to play in the playoffs.

Ginobili and Horry both kneeled, and now Popovich is the only one left to Pachuria, the champion who can use it.

When he noticed Popovich looked at him, Pachuria was trembling. Coach, please don’t mess with me, okay? I’m really afraid that Li Ang would beat me to death on the spot.

I am just a stinky basketball player and just earn some hard money. Why do you think about making me work hard every day?

But Pachuria could not refuse to play for no reason, so he stood up and walked to Popovich.

"Go and get O'Neal down for me. His legs are very fragile now, so you just follow his legs!"

Popovich is no longer pretending now. If he doesn't give the picture and only sound, people may think that this is the coach of the fighting game setting tactics.

"Craig, we." Duncan said, a little worried that Popovich would do his job and get himself into the ditch.

Duncan knows who Rondo is. If Pachulia dares to punish O'Neal, Rondo will definitely fight back and punish Duncan.

Popovich hesitated for a moment, he was really afraid of being retaliated.

After struggling for a while, Popovich decided to let Pachuria go back, and he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to do the job.

He did it according to his heart!

Popovich angrily smashed the tactical board, not allowing the useless man to set up a nonsense tactic!

He can't play basketball and can't do the whole work. Popovich is now completely in a state of incompetence and furious.

His face was flushed, and it was obvious that his blood pressure surged and he was hit.

After the fourth quarter started, the situation still did not improve.

Duncan's movements became slow to the naked eye, and in addition to being tired, his knees became more and more painful.

But because it was a defensive battle, the score had not been completely widened and he kept hovering between 12-15 points.

This difference in scores is very subtle, and it seems that you can get there by working hard, so Duncan never wants to give up.

"You can get through with hard work." To be honest, this is one of the three major illusions in life.

Before graduation, I felt like I could go to Porsche even if I worked hard.

After graduation, I realized that I could only go to Yadi after working hard.

How about it? I still get installments.

Duncan felt that he could get through hard work, but in fact he could not reach it anymore.

However, Duncan was still unwilling to accept this fact. He didn't want to fall in the Western Conference semi-finals. He didn't want to talk about his glory in the last century when he chatted with others in the future.

In the fifth minute of the fourth quarter, the Spurs fell behind by 15 points, and Duncan held the ball in the face frame.

Seeing that Li Ang did not have double-teams, Duncan planned to force Xiao Ao and then ended the attack with a hook while running.

But the moment Duncan ran forward, his knees hit O'Neal's knees hard.
