NBA: The start beat Kobe Bryant in his old age

Chapter 332 Leonard was stepped on, the eternal pain in the hearts of fans!

As the two strong teams in the West, the competition between the Spurs and the Warriors may be even more exciting.

This season, the Warriors scored 67 wins and 15 losses, while the Spurs' regular season record is not bad, with 61 wins and 21 losses.

Since Duncan retired, Leonard has completely taken over, and Aldridge's tactical status has once again improved.

The Spurs' dual-virtue core is getting better, and with Gasol, Danny Green and Ginobili, there is hope to overthrow the Warriors.

However, if Lin Tian remembers correctly, Leonard will be injured in tonight's game, and then he will not be able to come back...

This will also be an eternal pain in the hearts of countless Spurs fans...

Of course, what happened in the previous life may also change!
The appearance of Lin Tian has changed the fate of many people.

In his previous life, Leonard was stepped on the stage of the Western Conference Finals.

Today's game is the Western Conference semifinals. The timeline has changed. Maybe history will not repeat itself. Everything depends on the follow-up development.

Lin Tian shook his head and stopped thinking about it, but turned his attention to the big screen.

Both starters have already set foot on the field.

The starting lineup sent by the Warriors at home is: Curry, Thompson, Durant, Dreaming Green and Zaza Pachulia.

The starting lineup for the away Spurs is: Patrick Mills, Danny Green, Leonard, Aldridge and Gasol.

Aldridge finally returned to the power forward position that made him very comfortable. The arrival of Gasol this season made them a lot easier inside.

At the beginning of the game, Mills frequently played the ball for Aldridge inside, and asked Aldridge to play Dream Green.

Chasing Dream Green's defense is fierce and he keeps making small moves, but due to his height, he can't always interfere with Aldridge's shooting.

This allowed Aldridge to play smoothly in the paint, with a high shooting percentage.

For the Warriors, at the beginning of the game, they frequently took shots from the outside to find a three-pointer.

But their touch was poor, and Curry and Thompson missed consecutive three-pointers.

The Spurs' defense is at the top level in the league, especially the wing defense.

The flank defense composed of Danny Green and Leon made several Warriors pitchers complain a lot.

Stronger than Durant, under Leonard's defense, there are not many good shots.

This also led to the fact that the Spurs took the initiative from the very beginning of the game.

Wade, who was watching the game, couldn't help feeling: "The Spurs are really good at defending! They defend three-pointers too well!"

Howard also touched his chin: "The Spurs' inside defense is also very reliable. The Warriors are in big trouble today!"

In the second half of the second quarter of the game, the Warriors sacrificed five dead players, trying to chase points with this, but the effect was not good.

The Spurs' defensive system with Leonard as the core made the Warriors exhausted and their offensive efficiency was extremely poor.

Soon, at the end of the first half, the Spurs led the Warriors by 62 points 42:20!
The Warriors were very strong throughout the first half, shooting less than 35% of their two-pointers and making 9 of 2 three-pointers!
These two three-pointers were made by Curry, and the other Warriors players had no three-pointers.

The Warriors, who have always been good at shooting three-pointers, seemed to be stunned in this game, at least in the first half.

Taking advantage of the halftime break, Scott began to analyze the tactical characteristics of the two teams in the first half: "Everyone has seen that the Spurs defended the Warriors very well in the first half. Whether it was outside or inside, they played the Warriors without temper. Everyone thought that the Spurs' twin towers would be consumed by the Warriors, but the fact is the opposite. This is something we can learn from..."

The other Lakers players watching the game also discussed with smiles on their faces.

The Spurs lead the Warriors, which is definitely what they want to see, which can be said to be expected.

If the NBA is a complete TV series, then with the addition of Durant, the current Warriors are the biggest villain.

No team doesn't want to beat the Warriors, and no team doesn't want to see the Warriors deflated.

However, other teammates were talking about it, but Lin Tian knew something was wrong!

This is exactly the same as Leonard's situation in his previous life before he was injured!
In the game in which Leonard was stepped on, the Spurs led by a large score at the beginning, until Leonard was injured and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Lin Tian guessed that there is a high probability that tonight's game will be a complete reenactment of the game in which Leonard was injured in his previous life.
He can't wait to pick up himself and call Leonard immediately, telling him to be careful about the big man of the Warriors.

But now Leonard, I am afraid that he will not be able to receive the call.

At such a critical moment, even if I called other Spurs staff, it would probably be regarded as deliberately trying to disrupt the rhythm.

Therefore, Lin Tian has no choice but to sit here and watch the game quietly.

Not long after, the second half of the match between the two teams began.

Lin Tian remembered that Leonard was injured in the third quarter in his previous life, but he has forgotten the specific time period.

The Spurs continued to play against the Warriors, and Popovich on the sidelines kept yelling and urging the players not to relax.

Under such circumstances, the Warriors have never been able to narrow the score.

It can also be seen through the lens that the Warriors have become more and more impatient.

When more than 7 minutes into the third quarter, the accident finally happened!

On the Spurs' offensive round, the point guard handed the ball to Aldridge.

Aldridge was not easy to attack under the defense of Zaza and Green, and returned to the wing to pass the ball to Leonard.

Durant, who was defending against Leonard, quickly followed up, and Zaza also chose to switch defenses.

Seeing Zaza following Leonard, Durant didn't relax, blocking Leonard's breakthrough route.

Leonard was no longer able to break through. He dribbled to the right corner, and suddenly received the ball and made a drifting long two-point jumper.

Zaza jumps quickly!He leaned forward while extending his left foot.

When Leonard was about to hit the ground, for unknown reasons, Zaza stretched his left foot forward a short distance.

Leonard finally landed, stepped on the instep of Zaza's left foot with his left foot, and fell to the ground immediately, with a painful expression on his face, and hugged his foot with both hands.

Beep!

The referee blew his whistle and the ball went out of the frame.

"Fack! What the hell is this?" Howard, who was watching the battle in front of the camera, clasped his head tightly with his hands.

"This! There is absolutely no need to stretch your feet!" Wade also spread his hands, showing an extremely puzzling expression.

"Damn Zaza! This is intentional!" Nick Yang also jumped up.

Although they said so, they still don't know how serious the consequences will be.

Only Lin Tian sighed in his heart. At this moment, he knows better than anyone else that the fate of the Spurs and Leonard will undergo earth-shaking changes following Zaza's move...

In a sense, the reason why Leonard strongly demanded to leave the team later was also because of this stepping incident.

Including the future "load management" and the so-called vitreous body constitution are inseparable from this matter.

And this will become the eternal pain in the hearts of countless Kami.

Lin Tian turned his attention to the big screen again, Leonard was still holding his feet in pain.

The position where he fell to the ground happened to be the Spurs bench.

The Spurs' substitute players also realized that Leonard might be seriously injured, and stood up from the bench one after another...
