Chapter 180 Advance to the Finals

The horseman lost two games in a row, pushing the Spurs to the forefront of the storm, especially the management of the Spurs and the owner of the Spurs, who were said to be the moth of the Spurs. Once the ESPN expert John Hollinger's report was released, it seemed to have set up a flag, not only the Spurs boss, but also the Rockets boss Alex Shanda was also criticized. Fans can make money or not. The next two games are the home court of the Spurs. They spend money to watch the team being swept away, which makes them unhappy. In the "evil capitalism", fans can even demonstrate in the small city of San Antonio without review and harmony.

"Shit boss, get out!"

"We won't watch the loss!"

"Tim, leave, don't make money for vampires!"

Various brand slogans converge into the ocean in front of the Spurs office building, and scolding became the only sound here, and extreme, directly smashing windows and doors.

In addition to John Hollinger, another ESPN expert Ryan Kraza was criticized by Spurs' meritorious coach Popovich. Although the Spurs did not attract much this year, it does not mean that the newcomers are not good. Leonard and others have good potential, but Kraza believes that Popovich has not developed enough of it, and the team Digging is not as good as before, especially after climbing to the top in 2007 in a row, the Spurs are a little self-contained.

Of course, this comment is a little extreme. If it weren't for the current situation, it wouldn't have caused anything, but at this juncture, the Suns have continuously defeated Popovich's team. Whether Popovich is stubborn or not, he will also be responsible for this failure. In addition, some gossip said that Popovich was ready to protect Tony Parker, which aroused the hostility of some extreme fans. In their hearts, Duncan is the god of the Spurs. If David Robinson and the ice man George Gervin, it is still negotiable. What qualifications does Parker have? Is it better than his wife? The ability?

In this way, surrounded by various voices, the third game of the two teams was held in the ATT Central Arena, the home of the Spurs. The Spurs' side was not good, but the sun' morale was high, and some people have even shouted slogans of sweeping.

However, today, the Spurs are obviously different. The three military lives are played like a whole. The Spurs war machine is perfectly running in, and the experience advantage is gradually revealed, plus the truth that the mourners will win. This game was won back by the Spurs.

Duncan, who scored the highest score of the Spurs, is only 19 points, which is not outstanding, but six people scored double points, 9 people scored 7 points, and the balanced firepower is shocking.

At the beginning of the game, the Spurs did not fight back desperately. Elvin Gentry was vaguely looking forward to sweeping the San Antonio team, but the score was flat for five minutes. Gentry smelled a trace of conspiracy and felt something wrong on the court. Next, Nash was snatched continuously, Anton Ni also made a mistake, and then Gentry found that the game quietly entered the rhythm of the Spurs.

Popovich's clever move at night was very good. When Gentry reacted and called for a timeout, the Spurs had a 7-point lead.

After this pause, Gentry changed his tactics, replaced a large and four-small lineup, and insisted that Zhao Yue attack the inside line. You should know that there is no inside player in the league that can stop Zhao Yue. Garnett, Howard can't, and Duncan can't.

Who knows that Popovich seemed to have expected Gentry's method for a long time. The Sun did not make any mistakes, but it let Tony Parker speed up. Parker and Ginoby led the Spurs to play a wave of 12-4 small ** to end the first quarter.

The situation of the game completely turned to the Spurs. At the end of the first game, Leonard, who released Anthony, broke out, and scored 11 points in a row. In addition to the cold arrows of Ginobili and Danny Green, the score difference was widened to 30 points.

This game seems to be extreme with the second game, which is all slaughter, but the object has been changed to a position, the second game is slaughtered by the Spurs, and this game is replaced by them who raised the butcher's knife.

In the second half, Gentry also made changes. Zhao Yue unscrupulously attacked the inside line of the Spurs. However, in order to avoid mistakes, the time was dragged very slowly, and when defending, the Spurs could always avoid Zhao Yue's attack, which made the sun lose his temper.

Zhao Yue scored 20 points again, but the sun was unable to return to the sky. The fans who came full of expectations were also dejected. The proud Suns players before the game also knew that the game was not that simple.

But at this time, they didn't know that they lost the next game and the total score was equalized. At this time, the Miami Heat, which has three giants in the east, has led the Chicago Bulls 3-0, and they are only one game away from the Bulls.

The fourth game will continue to be held at the ATT Central Arena in San Antonio. Kim Terry is still determined to fight to the end regardless of whether the players will be psychologically affected, at least they don't have to be weak, because they are the strongest team in the league this season.

However, the Spurs said to Gentry that it was not that simple. In these two games, he lost the battle with Popovich.

At this time, the media trend turned back. Gentry became Popovich a few days ago, and he was even under more pressure. After all, his contract with the Suns will arrive soon. If he can't achieve satisfactory results to the management, he will definitely leave, no matter how brilliant the Suns' record this season is.

"It's not that simple, the playoffs are never a regular season", which is the title of the poisonous Simmons. He wrote in his column: "In just a few days, the development of things seemed to be beyond everyone's expectations. The old spicy Spurs unexpectedly came back to life, all thanks to two people, one is Gray. Ge Popovich, one is Erwin Gentry. To be fair, it is already amazing that the solar energy goes to the two cities first. After all, even if the Spurs are worms in the regular season, the playoffs are also dragons, not to mention that they have reservations in the regular season. After two consecutive away games, they also gave the Suns the same embarrasment. In these two games Erwin Gentry is like an ant, being played with applause by Greg Popovich. No matter which step Elvin takes, it is in Greg's calculation. Greg Popovich let everyone know that he is not afraid of Pat Riley. Greg told the Suns that it was not so simple to sweep the Spurs. Now the two teams are standing on the same running line, but the Suns' morale has plummeted. In the upcoming next game, will the Suns' home court continue the winning situation of the previous home team, or will the Spurs take the initiative? My understanding is that the Spurs have an advantage. Now they dare not underestimate the Suns. Zhao, the Chinese center of the Suns, has at least become the existence of BUG, averaging 50 points per game in four games, the highest in NBA history. If the other players of the Suns play well, sweeping will be so simple.

Simmons's speculation has always been very accurate, but this time he guessed wrong. Zhao Yue made obvious changes. In the first quarter of the fifth game, Zhao Yue only took three times to try to revitalize the whole team, coupled with Nash's excellent organizational ability, and Anthony played bravely, except for Yi Jianlian did not play very well, and everyone else played very well. So, in the fifth game, the Suns laughed at home and exchanged the pressure of elimination to the Spurs and Popovich.

After the game, the Sun executives directly told Gentry. If they don't advance to the finals, they will get out immediately. Gentry also put pressure on the Sun team. As the saying goes, only when there is pressure can he be motivated.

It was wrong to do this, but the Suns players are not omnipotent, and it is impossible to play as well as the fifth game all the time. Therefore, the Spurs lost again at home, and the final suspense has to wait for the seventh game, and the seven battles are about to be staged.

The Suns and Spurs have reached the seventh game, and the Eastern Heat has eliminated the Bulls to advance to the finals.

The seventh game was played at the Suns' home court, and the game was over after 60 minutes.

Five minutes after the end of the game, Global Basketball reported the results of the game.

"Let's report the last game between the Suns and the Spurs. After more than 60 minutes of overtime, the Phoenix Suns laughed to the end. Zhao, the young Chinese center of the Suns, scored 60 points in this game. The following game was almost dominated by him, whether it was On both the offensive and defensive end, whether in scoring or assists, in the last overtime, Zhao almost achieved impeccable, dunk, shot, layup, make-up. He was almost omnipotent. The game became the Sun's game, which was beyond everyone's expectation. No one was optimistic. The sun, but it turned out that everyone guessed wrong.

After the game, Zhao Yue, one of the Suns' star stars, became a well-deserved hero of Phoenix, even surpassing Steve Nash and Cameron Anthony. In this case, the Spurs can only wait for the next season. Next is the finals. The Super Trio of Sun Storm will face the three hot giants of the league. This competition will directly determine the ownership of the championship this season. Steve Nash has been fighting in the league for more than a decade, and for the first time in more than a decade, he is so close to the championship.

After the game, Nash looked at the camera screen and shouted regardless of his always gentle image: "That's great! That's great! Total champion! Our goal is the championship!"

The game has been over for a long time, but the Suns' players are still calm and excited. Iverson, who has only reached the finals once in his career, stood in the locker room holding the trophy of the Western Conference championship and shouted, "Finals, we're coming!"

"Finals, we're coming!" All the players of the Sun burst into cheers.
