New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 229 Last Stand!San Antonio

The cooperation between Zhang Yi and Robert immediately detonated the excitement factor of the audience!The home of the Milwaukee Bucks instantly became a place of pilgrimage!There were countless cheers and applause. I don't know when was the last time everyone was so excited.

Although the Los Angeles Lakers took the victory in this game, the audience didn't care. It is obvious that the gap in strength lies here. Even if the home team is demanding extraordinary performance, it is fine if the opponent has a player as strong as Zhang Yi. Both WALL-E and WALL-E are strong, so it is impossible to play.

Regardless, it's a great game.Of course, the finishing touch is the last minute, the Bruins scored crazy points in three quarters. The 1-point difference is fleeting, and everyone believes that this is the preseason.If it was the regular season or the playoffs, they would chase points even faster, and they wouldn't press down to the last second at all...

Zhang Yi's current status is no longer a rookie champion. Among the stadiums he has conquered, many people even regard Curry as the second, the top five stars in the league!

In terms of influence, Zhang Yi still has room for improvement.After all, these basketball superstars are not just enough to perform well on the court. The NBA has long been integrated into the lives of American audiences. Zhang Yi still has a long way to go if he wants to become an influential and social superstar.

Of course, the premise of all this is still in the United States.If it was in Dagong, Zhang Yi would have become a top superstar, and this status even threatened Curry.

Because Dagong's audience doesn't care about those off-court factors, in their opinion, it is an unprecedented good thing in recent years that their compatriots can make their mark in the world's top basketball league!
Although this is only a preseason game, Zhang Yi's stable performance and explosive performances one after another have made the impact very clear. In the next 15 or even 20 years, this Yunhua boy will accompany many big duke basketball boys and lead them to the future. Jump higher and fight better on stage!

After the game, Zhang Yi accepted the interview as usual.Because at this time Britney has somewhat let go of some management rights.In addition to some large-scale basketball reality shows or press conferences before important games, Zhang Yi can say whatever he wants in the post-match interviews of such small games.

"How many wins do you think the current Los Angeles Lakers can win in the new season?" Zhang Yi thought for a while, "About 65 wins."

Hearing this, the reporter laughed, "Why don't you be so humble. You just promised the New York Knicks, you know they won 69 wins last season!"

Zhang Yi shook his head, "It can't be counted that way. The Knicks are very strong, and so is Thomas. After all, they don't have all the main players. So I can only say that it will be a hard battle to meet them next time."

Reporters still prefer low-key yellow players, because some black people just like to talk nonsense in front of the camera. "So besides the Golden State Warriors and the New York Knicks, are there any other teams that you fear?"

"No, I don't worry about any team. They may be stronger, but we won't lose again. If you ask me who I follow, Washington Wizards, Orleans Hornets, Utah Jazz and San Antonio Spurs, that's all!"

"Then the opponent in the next game is the San Antonio Spurs. Do you want to say something to the opponent in the Southwest Division?" The reporter obviously wanted Zhang Yi to speak harshly to increase the attention of the next game.But Zhang Yi only expressed his expectation, without saying anything arrogant, which could only make their wishful thinking go in vain.

Fly direct from Milwaukee to San Antonio.Because the current traffic is so developed that even two cities that are far apart can be reached quickly, this kind of back-to-back competition is no longer limited to the east or west.

The AT&T Center Arena has gone through the era of GTP led by Popovich. The dozen or so bronze statues erected in front of the gate are almost all the stars and coaches of that era.This means that the arena has not been at its peak for a long time since then.

I don't know if it's because after Duncan was selected, the Holy City ran out of luck. Even if they were bad after that, they didn't win even a single lottery.

But the Spurs' tradition remains unchanged. Every few years, they will be led by one or two rising rookies and then produce explosive results in the regular season when they are not optimistic.

In the first year when the Golden State Warriors dominated the league, they were also blocked by the eighth-ranked San Antonio Spurs in the league's No. [-] position.

Although Curry was able to score 35+ per game, what surprised everyone was that they even drew 3:3 in the first six games!Moreover, the Spurs went 3 games in a row after a 3-game losing streak. Not only were they going for the black eight, but they were about to create the history of turning defeat into victory with the largest win margin!
The Golden State Warriors never expected that they would fall into such a bitter battle in the first round of the playoffs after winning 69 games in the regular season.The Spurs' [-] players were all united, and each one played above and beyond.

If it weren't for Curry's quasi-quadruple-double of 51 points, 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 10 steals in the tiebreaker, the Warriors might really overturn.

Also since this year, the San Antonio Spurs have regained their new life.They have transformed from a team on the fringes of the playoffs into another powerful team in the West.

The next season, they had the second record in the Western Conference with 64 wins.No one knows where their power comes from.Because this team is regarded as a motley crew in the eyes of many people, and no one in itself is an absolute superstar.Even in the All-Star Game, only the core small forward Lawless was selected.

The San Antonio Spurs are like an unborn master in the Southwest District. Even though they are covered in dust, they still have secrets in their hearts. They can kill a person in ten steps and never stay behind!
After the Los Angeles Lakers arrived in the Holy City, Zhang Yi, Wally and Robert deliberately ran to the Spurs Memorial Museum.There are 'Iceman' George Gervin, 'Admiral' David Robinson, the number one power forward in NBA history 'Stone Buddha' Tim Duncan, and the 'French Train' Tony Parker and 'Baldy' who formed GDP with him. 'Oh no, 'Demon Blade' Manu Ginobili!There are also many prominent football stars telling about the past of this low-key city!
Zhang Yi likes the atmosphere here very much. Of course, this conflicts with his pursuit of the luxury of Los Angeles.A city that can achieve the ultimate in any kind of temperament is attractive!
Although this year's San Antonio Spurs are still excluded from the championship reserve team, because the team lacks absolute superstars.But in Zhang Yi's view, they will always have the ability to win the championship!
"Never underestimate the heart of a champion!" The Spurs have won so many championships in history, which means that no matter how they sink, they will always return to the top of the NBA...
