Just when everyone thought that the Spurs would fight the Mavericks until the seventh game, the Spurs unexpectedly settled the battle in the sixth game, and the process was not difficult at all. It was not that the strength of the two sides had changed. But the sudden outbreak of Stephen and Duncan changed the direction of the entire series.

In the playoffs, two players in a team scored 39+[-]+[-]+[-]. This is the first time in the history of the league. Stephen scored [-] points in the whole game Ten rebounds, seven assists, four steals and three blocks, while Duncan scored [-], [-] rebounds, five assists and six blocks. If Stephen had one more steal, the two of them would get [-] plus The data of ten plus five plus five can only be counted as thirty plus ten plus five plus four.

No one is going to sigh for the Mavericks anymore. Losers are not worthy of sympathy. At this time, all discussions are aimed at the opponents that the Spurs will face. , the Suns are leading [-]-[-]. It is unclear who the opponent will be. Although the Phoenix Suns have the upper hand, in the playoffs, the inside advantage of the Los Angeles Clippers caused the Suns to suffer. Big trouble.

What makes Popovich feel relieved is that in this way, at least the Spurs can rest for two more days, otherwise if they play seven games, they may only have one day of rest, and for a team like the Spurs One day of rest is absolutely not enough.

The semifinals of the Western Conference have not yet been played, and the same is true for the Eastern Conference. Although the opponents of the Heat and the Nets have already competed for the winner, after the Heat's first disastrous defeat, they defeated their opponents in four consecutive games. Tickets to the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the game between the Heat and the Nets, O'Neal started to show off in the playoffs. Basically, he was able to provide [-] points and [-] rebounds per game, and the real hero of the victory was Dwyane Wade. In these few games, basically every game is [-] plus.

Although Kidd, the opposing Nets team, was able to get a triple-double in every game, and Carter and Jefferson performed very well, but the lineup was not neat, and the strength of the team was mostly reflected in the outside line. Facing O'Neal, Mo Ning's inside combination can't help the team at all, so even if Carter scored 43 points in a certain game, and he and Jefferson scored 33 points in another game, they still had no struggle. Lost to the Heat.

However, the battle between the Pistons and the Cavaliers is still [-]-[-]. Both teams are waiting for the start of the seventh game. Although the Cavaliers star "Little Emperor" James is comprehensive, he can basically win every game. Twenty plus ten plus eight, but facing the overall better Pistons, it still looks a bit dangerous.

Taking advantage of this precious time, the Spurs began to rest. The Spurs appeared to be superior in the regular season, but it was not the case in the playoffs. It was relatively easy to play against the Kings, because the Kings were originally a playoff team in the Midwest The weakest team, but against the Mavericks, the Spurs only narrowly won the game.

Whether it is the Los Angeles Clippers or the Phoenix Suns, they are not so easy to play. The Suns' offensive ability is the best in the league. Although they have no defense, they have defeated the Spurs twice in the regular season by virtue of their offensive ability. Team, this is still in the absence of "Small Overlord" Stoudemire, so Nash won the best player of the season, although it is a bit controversial, but it is well deserved, especially in Stephen's view.

The Los Angeles Clippers are a bit similar to the Spurs, they also take the path of combining inside and outside, and there are also a few experienced veteran players. Such a team will be particularly difficult to deal with in the playoffs, because there are offense and defense. Experience, the team lineup has no obvious flaws.

But no matter which opponent they face, the Spurs believe that they will not be more difficult to deal with than the Mavericks. The game against the Mavericks has forced all the Spurs' back moves. In the end, they basically won the game head-on. When I got up, Popovich still felt a little unbelievable, so he won the game?

However, Popovich quickly sobered up from this suspicion. A victory is a victory. The most important thing to do now is to collect data on the Suns and Clippers, analyze their technical characteristics, and also look ahead Start gathering work for Eastern teams.

The sixth game between the Suns and the Clippers began at Staples in Los Angeles. The coaching staff of the Spurs watched the game through TV. When they saw that the Clippers finally won after a hard work. After the game, everyone cheered excitedly. Popovich returned to the office excitedly and opened a bottle of red wine to share with Carlesimo.

They are not happy for the Clippers, but in this way, the two teams will play seven games, and the Spurs can rest for three more days. Victory must face the Spurs who are waiting for work.

For the Spurs, as long as the physical strength of the players can be guaranteed, they have the confidence to face any opponent. Therefore, the training of the Spurs is still focused on recovering physical fitness, so the Arrow has slightly increased the intensity of training. Others may be very acceptable This kind of intensive training, Stephen feels that this kind of training is like scratching an itch, and there is no burden on him at all. However, the coaching staff has issued a rule that after the time for the team to organize training, players are prohibited from practicing on their own. Stephen had no choice but to He put all his energy into Karen William who came here to accompany him. Two days later, Karen William hurriedly fled San Antonio. Although this thing is good, it can kill people.

Stephen is still very restrained, but it still makes Karen William unbearable. Fortunately, only one day later, Catherine came over. Stephen will not work his hands or go out to hunt wild food, but in terms of endurance, Catherine is far behind Let's talk about Karen William, after all, she is a newcomer, and she flew away in a hurry after only staying here for one night.

I didn't even go to my cousin's place. I was planning to come to watch a Spurs game and gave up at this time. After Catherine left, Alice said that she would come again. For others, these few days of precious rest period, Stephen wasted on the bed except for training. As a result, when Alice left, Stephen felt refreshed. The heaviness and exhaustion since the playoffs were swept away, especially the relief of psychological pressure was even more effective , Stephen is now looking forward to the start of the game.

After seven games, the Pistons defeated the Cavaliers. Although the "little emperor" James burst out with all his energy and did everything he could, but facing the five Pistons with All-Star strength, there is still a significant difference. A little powerless, the opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals has been determined.

On the second day, the game between the Suns and the Clippers also determined the winner. Although the captain Elton Brand scored 36 points, he missed all four three-pointers and the opposite three-pointer. There is still a big gap in 27 of 120 shots. The Suns also benefited from this. They beat the Clippers by [-] to [-] and [-] points. The spurs.

This kind of three-point offensive also surprised the Spurs. The three-point shooting rate is more than 50.00%, and they still make so many shots. It seems that they have to strengthen their perimeter defensive training. Popovich He quickly added perimeter defense training.

Since the Spurs have a superior record, the first game will still start at the Sbc Center Arena, the home of the Spurs. Due to the smooth merger of Southwest Bell and AT&T, next season, the SBC Center Arena may be renamed at&t center arena.

Southwest Bell used to be a subsidiary of AT&T, and the well-known Bell Labs in the communications industry belonged to AT&T. More than 20 years ago, AT&T was split into seven companies for violating antitrust laws. Southwestern Bell is one of them. Twenty years later, Southwestern Bell became a world-class large company, but because of too many splits, AT&T and Telephone, including Bell Labs, were also split out with Lucent Technology. Shrinking, so it was acquired by Southwestern Bell. Southwestern Bell plans to inherit the old brand of American Telegraph and Telephone Company. With the company's name change, the arena they named will also be renamed accordingly.

After playing against the Clippers, the Suns came to San Antonio ahead of schedule. On the one hand, they adapted to the climate here, and on the other hand, they also adapted to the venues here. At the same time, they could reduce flight fatigue. The Suns stayed in San Antonio for two days. The Western Conference finals have begun.

There are also trophies in the regional finals, but obviously the meaning of the consolation prize is greater. The runner-up in the two semi-finals is equivalent to the third or fourth place in a football match. Maybe in a few annual meetings, someone will remember that a certain team played here It's a pity to reach the finals in one year and then lose, but would it be a pity for someone to reach the conference finals for a certain team? It's an obvious thing.

My own team has reached the conference finals, and it is even possible to break the curse of not being able to win the championship in even-numbered years. Speaking of this curse, the office city of the Holy City Express was blocked by crazy fans that day. As a result, the "Holy City Express" stopped publishing for two days and apologized publicly to resolve the matter , Since then, no one in San Antonio, whether it is fans or the media, has discussed this matter, as if this curse does not exist.

That night, the SBC center arena was crowded again, and there was still a long queue outside the arena, preparing to enter the arena. The game had not yet started, and neat cheers sounded from time to time. Ott also started to take his position early, mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene.
