Chapter 232
5 month 22 day.

The Western Conference Finals took the lead.

"Little Overlord" Stoudemire was in a bad state, scoring 21 points, 41 rebounds and 9 block in only 1 shots.

纳什状态也很出色，砍下29分4篮板13助攻1抢断1盖帽。

The Suns scored 114 points.

But for the Spurs, the GDP is equally good.

Parker had 29 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steal.

Duncan had 28 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 blocks.

Ginobili had 20 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal.

In addition, veteran Brent Barry scored 21 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals.

老将霍里砍下12分7篮板3助攻2抢断1盖帽。

The two veterans who seemed to be retiring at any time in the regular season directly gave the Suns a blow.

The NBA's No. [-] tortoise "playing dead" and "playing old" has really hammered.

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Suns 121:114.

After the game, it wasn't Barry and Horry who received the biggest praise from the fans...

But Popovich.

"Bobo's vision of selecting players is absolutely perfect. He selected a group of players that no one wants, Bowen, Horry... But as soon as he arrived at the Spurs, he exploded. This is Bole!"

"He is not only good at selecting people, but also good at using people. Bowen, a player that no one wants, is the first defense under him. Horry, who was abandoned by the Lakers, is also an important player under him. And Brent ..."

"The strongest coach in the NBA, Popovich is definitely one of them."

……

Li Lei checked the forum when he was free.

His feeling is: Of course Popovich is great, but there is no need to give him all the credit.

In basketball, the most important thing is the players.

The core of the Spurs is only Duncan.

With Duncan here, the Spurs will always be favorites to win the championship.

Without Duncan, Popovich is also a smart woman.

This matter has been proven after Duncan retired.

Duncan is undoubtedly a super giant, now second only to O'Neal among active players.

But the two are quite different.

What O'Neill showed was unparalleled personal dominance.

Duncan showed what was indeed the core cohesion of a team.

On the court, Duncan will help his teammates screen, organize in high positions, assist in defense, supplement defense...do all the dirty and tiring work.

When his teammates are in good condition, Duncan is willing to play support.His teammates are not in good condition, so he will come forward again.

Besides Duncan, which other superstar would do these things?

Duncan's teammates can always play good data, which is closely related to Duncan's help.

Simply put, Duncan is good at making his teammates better.

……

the next day.

It's Game [-] of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Li Lei got up in the morning, drank a glass of water, and started running towards the American Airlines Center arena.

"Hey Stone! You guys did a great job last round."

Occasionally meet the citizens of Miami on the road.

Because Li Lei has been running on this road for almost two years, some people are already familiar and greet him warmly.

"We must win tonight!"

"I grabbed the tickets for tonight, and I will go to the scene to cheer for you."

"Get rid of those barbarians in Motown!"

……

Li Lei also waved in response.

He has always been very attentive in dealing with fans.

In these two seasons, the Heat have entered the conference finals and are undoubtedly a strong team.

This has made Miami's sluggish ball market extremely hot in the past few years. More and more people in this city pay attention to basketball.

On the other side of the ocean, domestic fans got up early and stood in front of the TV.

Today is the weekend, which coincides with G1. Of course, fans will not miss this game.

Domestically, basketball is even more popular than Miami.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most popular sport in China.

Li Lei entered the American Airlines Center, had breakfast first, and then went directly to the auxiliary hall.

Before entering the door, I heard "bang bang bang", the sound of a basketball hitting the floor.

"Who is so diligent?"

Li Lei was puzzled, pushed the door open and entered, and saw a big white man.

"Dako?"

That's right, it's the Pistons player, Dakomilicic, the No. 2003 pick in the [-] class.

Milicic's eyes were naturally wary, and he softened when he saw Li Lei.

"Stone!"

The two of them are also old friends.

The two have played together since the Heat's workouts.

Every subsequent offseason, Milicic would also accept Li Lei's invitation to train together.

Just right, the two train together.

Li Lei played bullfighting with Milicic.

Milicic can make sudden shots or shots, three-pointers, footsteps under the basket, fake moves, hard gouges... there is nothing he can't do, and his skills are very comprehensive.

Because of his height, Li Lei couldn't guard him at all.

But he couldn't guard Li Lei either.

The two were even.

Sweating all over, the two sat on the sidelines to rest.

Milicic, as usual, remained silent.

Li Lei could only speak first: "Dako, your defense has improved a lot this year!"

"really?"

Milicic is like a three-year-old who is praised, very happy.

But only for a moment, he returned to his cold face.

Li Lei couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Problem boy!
Milicic really has a mental problem.

I still remember the first time we met, he and Dior invited Milicic to form a team... This guy was guarded, with an expression of "you are bad guys".

However, Li Lei has been in contact with Milicic in recent years, and he understands Milicic's background.

Milicic's father was forced to participate in the Bosnian War since he was a child, and he was almost raised by his mother's hard labor when he was young.

At the age of 14, he was recruited into the local team.The mother sold her property and bought a cow in order to let him drink milk.

When he was training in the dilapidated arena, the sky was constantly circling and dropping bombs from NATO bombers.

Every day could be his last.

Milicic has seen too much poverty, death, war...it's no surprise that he developed such a character.

If the country is not strong, it will be bullied.

Li Lei nodded: "Of course, the one in front of you is a super defender who has been selected as the first defense for two consecutive years. He won't tell lies."

Milicic nodded: "It's Chauncey (Billups) and Rasheed (Wallace). They taught me a lot, but..."

Li Lei stopped Milicic from continuing.

He knows what he wants to say.

However, his coach is Larry Brown, an extreme pervert who never gave him a chance to play.

"Darco, let me tell you a story."

Li Lei hugged Milicic's back and said: "There is a saying in my hometown: If you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster. It is said that more than 2000 years ago, there was a king named Xiong Lu. He didn't issue a decree for three years. Later... "

Milicic listened very intently.

In this alliance, perhaps only Li Lei is willing to communicate with him like this.
