Big Zhi and Kobe's Lakers Dynasty

Chapter 188 Tim Duncan of the 76ers
Before the playoffs, there was a game worth mentioning, that is, Wang Dazhi, who has always been dubbed a young man and a rookie with a big heart, finally lost the chain once!
This rare game was the Los Angeles Lakers home game against the San Antonio Spurs on April 1997, 4. As we all know, the San Antonio Spurs have directly taken the fight for Tim Duncan as the first goal of the season.

Gregg Popovich was afraid that Bob Hill would not be able to complete the team's strategy well, so he snatched the San Antonio Spurs coach from Bob Hill after 18 games in the regular season.

Wang Dazhi is very clear about many details of the 1996-1997 season.

In another time and place, the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers are [-]-[-] this season.

But Wang Dazhi couldn't remember the specific details of each game.

In this season, the major media not only paid attention to the ranking trends of the top teams in the league, but also the record of the bottom teams in the league.

Because the worse the team is, the more likely it is to cap Tim Duncan, so these poor teams are extremely sensitive at this time.

Now in the pre-match interview, Wang Dazhi is the darling of the reporters. Xiaozhi has completed the wholly-owned acquisition of And 1, and as And 1's current top card, Wang Dazhi often speaks out loud to attract attention.

TNT reporter: "How are you preparing for tomorrow's game against the Spurs?"

For such routine questions, TNT reporters actually don't expect to have any explosive points.

Wang Dazhi: "I have no preparations! Anyway, the opponent doesn't want to win, I think they almost threw it into their own basket!"

Although he always said some controversial words, it was the first time that Wang Dazhi said such a straightforward insult to his opponent!

Wang Dazhi still remembers all the faces of Popovich in that time and space. Pointing at Wang Dazhi to respect his team, Wang Dazhi really couldn't do it.

TNT reporter: "Greg Popovich was a shrewd general manager before, and he would not allow his players to do this!"

Of course, these journalists who are willing to make trouble know that the aggressive method is a panacea strategy.

Wang Dazhi: "Come on! Anyway, the process is the same, and playing against them will always make me drowsy!

I just want to get a win from the Spurs and go home and sleep! "

Wang Dazhi ended the interview with a look of disdain. These are indeed his heartfelt words.

Such an interview made TNT gain a lot of attention, and Gregg Popovich over there was furious!
Although it is not easy to get angry in front of the camera, he also vowed to make Wang Dazhi look good.

After taking over the San Antonio Spurs, Gregg Popovich made the team firmly sit on the second-to-last throne in the Western Conference and the third-to-last throne in the league.

As long as they are among the bottom three in the league, the chances of winning the No. [-] lottery will be very, very high.

The lowest winning rate is 25%, the second lowest winning rate is 19.6%, and the third lowest winning rate is 15.9%.

But when it comes to the bottom four, the winning rate will drop off a cliff.

Not only does Greg Popovich want "records", he also desires fame. This person can often command the team to take advantage in the first three quarters, and then collapse inexplicably in the fourth quarter!
In this way, it seems that he is very capable, but he just wants Tim Duncan and doesn't want to win.

The Los Angeles Lakers played against the San Antonio Spurs at the Staples Center. As soon as Wang Dazhi came on the court, he encountered crazy attacks from his opponents.

The constant provocation and double-teaming made Wang Dazhi very uncomfortable.

In April, Los Angeles was warm and cold, and Wang Dazhi also had a cold. He had almost no achievements in the first three quarters.

The San Antonio Spurs entered the fourth quarter with a 7-point lead, and no one challenged or double-teamed Wang Dazhi in the fourth quarter.

But Wang Dazhi's open shot was still outrageous. Coach Delmar Harris also asked about Wang Dazhi's condition, but Wang Dazhi, who was manipulated by the old man, also competed with himself. Crazy shot!

If it was Wang Dazhi in the past, he would definitely kill the Quartet and take the game away, but today he has some physical and psychological problems.

The Los Angeles Lakers failed to catch up until the final possession of the game, with the San Antonio Spurs leading by one point with five seconds left in the game.

Of course, Coach Delmar Harris didn't want to lose. He arranged the high and low tactics of Wang Dazhi and Shaquille O'Neal.

After the game, Wang Dazhi successfully received a pass from Robert Horry. Wang Dazhi stood in a high position and was about to pass the ball into the paint. However, the San Antonio Spurs player made too many moves and was directly called for a foul by the referee on duty!
The number of fouls has reached, and Wang Dazhi was sent to the free throw line!

Gregg Popovich roared angrily at the fouled player, and he even smashed the tactical board!
But most of the people didn't realize that after he was furious, he showed a sly smile that was not easy to detect
With Wang Dazhi's level of free throws, it's not surprising that this is another lore, but how can you not get your shoes wet when you often stand by the river?
Wang Dazhi's first free throw went wide!Already suffering from typhoid fever, coupled with the exhaustion of the game, Wang Dazhi was already in a state of high fever. Of course, he did not truthfully report his situation to the coaching staff.

In the second penalty, Wang Dazhi repeatedly made adjustments, but because of the fever, his palms were full of sweat, and finally his hand slipped, and Wang Dazhi actually made a three-no-stick penalty! ! !

The Los Angeles Lakers hate at home!Wang Dazhi, who had made many lore kills, finally stretched his hips for a while, and his teammates and coaches also stepped forward to comfort him.

And Wang Dazhi didn't take the two free throws to heart. He knew best about his own physical condition, but it didn't affect his confidence in the game at all.

This incident did not have any impact on the Los Angeles Lakers, but it had a great impact on the San Antonio Spurs. Gregg Popovich's expression after the game was wonderful!
It is because of such an extra game that the San Antonio Spurs surpassed the Philadelphia 76ers in the final ranking and climbed to the bottom four in the league.

Wang Dazhi slipped his little hand and slipped Tim Duncan to the Philadelphia 76ers. A three-way game completely changed the entire future of the league.

The combination of Allen Iverson and Tim Duncan has created a super strong team. Of course, all of this is a story.

The dust of the long regular season has finally settled, and the playoffs are also freshly released. Some are happy and some are sad. A bayonet battle is about to begin!
