Add one, I'm not very good at fighting

In addition, Xiao Ao has another role in defense, which is to make it easier for Li Ang to close the board.

In the last game, Li Ang wanted to grab a rebound from Duncan, but he had to use all his strength, and was even forced to call a timeout in the air.

But now, Li Ang only needs three steps to grab a rebound: run in, jump up, and catch the ball.

After that, there was Thunder Ibaka, and now Jermaine has one card and eight.

Xiao Ao's operation was as fierce as a tiger, and he only had 5 rebounds in the half.

However, Li Ang grabbed 8 rebounds in halftime, so you can't judge the role of some players by the data, you have to judge by the data of his teammates.

The Spurs couldn't take advantage of the interior, which made them play very passively.

Regardless of the last game, the Suns also left the Spurs behind by more than ten points at halftime.But you have to know that Li Ang didn't rest for a minute in the last game.

Today, the Suns still lead the Spurs by 15 points with Li Ang's normal rotation.

Facts have proved that the man who does such a great job must have a good wife in his family.

Once Xiao Ao's virtuous wife came back, Li Ang felt a lot more relaxed.

In the locker room during the intermission, Xiao Ao was also very excited.

When the team was most in danger, he was finally no longer a spectator.

At this time, Tomjanovich had just come out after changing the urine bag.Every time Shi Ye changes the urine bag during halftime, it will boost the morale of the Suns players.

The fans thought to themselves, Master is still persisting in such a miserable situation, so what right do we have to give up?

Tomjanovich probably didn't even know that he had become the No.1 Chicken Soup for Urine.

The atmosphere on the Suns side is very optimistic and positive, and the game is about to be completely ended in the second half.

Elsewhere, Popovich gnashes his teeth in the locker room.

Damn, it was agreed that Li Ang and Duncan would be singled out, but Li Ang actually called to shake people!

You don't abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes!

Li Ang: Duncan singled out the two of us. There is nothing wrong with it. It was indeed a single. Why didn't he abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes?

Besides, you can shake people if you have the ability, and you can shake Ginobili from the hospital bed if you have the ability.

If you can’t shake it anymore, let’s play with ourselves hahahaha!

Popovich has been doing this for so many years, but he didn't expect that this year's wave of reverse work would make him half dead.

Duncan was clutching his knee at this time, and the continuous high-intensity battle made Duncan's knee sore and unbearable.

Duncan's knee has always been very fragile, in fact, since the meniscus tear in 2000, Duncan has been plagued by injuries.

It is worth mentioning that Kidd, the star of the Suns that year, also missed due to injury and only participated in one game in the first round.And in the series two years ago when both Duncan and Kidd were healthy, the Spurs eliminated the Suns with the next game. In that series, Spurs point guard Johnson played well, averaging a career-high 20.5 points per game. 64%.And Kidd played poorly, averaging only 14 points per game and shooting 37% from the field.

Kidd:? ? ?

Do I have anything to do with this thing? Fuck!

In the past two years, Duncan suffered from plantar fasciitis, which caused his legs to be unbalanced, which greatly weakened Duncan's strength.

It's just that Duncan's simple style of play and solid skills make him one of the best insiders in the league even after his athletic ability has been greatly weakened.

As a result, many people have forgotten that he is actually an old patient.If you look closely, you can even see that Duncan's knees can't even fully straighten!

So, don't blame Duncan for only playing 45°.With his physical condition, someone else can't even play a 45° board.

After the fierce battle with Li Ang in the last game, Duncan was very tired.

In this game, Xiao Ao made the situation worse again, which directly depressed Duncan.

He felt that he needed to rest. Although he was a rookie, Duncan had fought fiercely in the league for almost 10 years after all. He knew his physical condition very well.

If you continue to hold on, the condition of your knees may not be optimistic.

But the team was 15 points behind at this time, and it was a life-and-death battle. Duncan really couldn't sit idly by.

So he covered his knees, moved a bit, and decided to stick to the second half.

It should be fine if you stick to it for another half-time, right?

After the start of the second half, the Spurs still had no way to narrow the point difference.

Li Ang's firepower is indeed not as perverted as in the previous game. After all, Li Ang was blessed with the Avengers badge in the last game, so he was able to score goals repeatedly under double teams.

But the Spurs' offense was also a mess, and the two teams are really stronger than anyone else today.

In the third quarter, Stern's head was aching from the iron strike. He never expected that the Suns would play such an ugly defensive battle one day.

To be exact, in any series with the Spurs, nine out of ten games can be defensive battles.

Looking at it this way, the Spurs are simply the cancer of the league!

The defense of the two sides was so tight today that Kidd and Rondo started to shoot three-pointers against each other.

Li Ang was already tired, but Kidd and Rondo continued to vote, and he was even more tired.

Li Ang really wants to tell the two of them to stop quickly, if you are not tired, I will be tired of grabbing the board!

After the third quarter, the two teams scored 62 to 50, and the Suns still led by 12 points.

The Spurs only scored 50 points after three quarters, so you know how embarrassing their offense was.

Popovich knew that if he continued to play, he would definitely lose this game.

He has to break the balance on the field.

If you want to win, you still have to take an unusual path.

So, Popovich looked at Pachulia, who hadn't had much chance to play in the playoffs.

Both Ginobili and Horry knelt down, and now Popovich only has Pachulia, the champion's foundation, to use.

Spotting Popovich looking at her, Pachulia shuddered.Coach, don't mess with me, okay, I'm really afraid that Li Ang will beat me to death on the spot.

I'm just a badass, playing basketball is just to earn some hard money, why do you think about making me work hard every day?

But it's impossible for Pachulia to refuse to play for no reason. He stood up and walked to Popovich.

"Go and get O'Neill down for me, his legs are very fragile now, just follow his legs!"

Popovich doesn't even pretend to be pretending now. If you don't give the picture and only the sound, people may think that this is the coach of the fighting game who is arranging tactics.

"Craig, we..." Duncan said, he was a little worried that Popovich would put himself in the ditch all the time.

Who is Rondo? Duncan knows very well that if Pachulia dares to punish O'Neal, Rondo will definitely fight back and punish Duncan.

Popovich also hesitated, because he was really afraid of being retaliated.

After struggling for a while, Popovich decided to let Pachulia go back, and he gave up the idea of ​​continuing to work.

He got it right!

Popovich smashed the tactical board angrily, not to let the useless people set up a fart tactics!

Can't play the ball, can't do the whole job, Popovich is now completely in a state of incompetence and rage.

His face was flushed, and it was obvious that his blood pressure had soared.

After the start of the fourth quarter, the situation still did not improve.

Duncan's movements became visibly sluggish. In addition to being tired, his knees were also getting more and more painful.

But because it was a defensive battle, the score has not been completely opened, and it has been hovering in the range of 12-15 points.

This kind of point difference is very subtle, and it seems that if you work hard, you can make it, so Duncan has never wanted to give up.

"If you work hard, you will be able to get in." To be honest, this is one of the three major illusions in life.

Before graduation, I felt that I could get into a Porsche with a little effort.

After graduating, I realized that I could only get into Yardi after working hard.

It's also a period of scoring.

Duncan felt that he worked hard to be able to make it, but in fact he couldn't make it.

However, Duncan was still unwilling to accept this fact.He didn't want to fall in the Western Conference semifinals, and he didn't want to talk about his glory in the last century when he chatted with others in the future.

In the 5th minute of the fourth quarter, the Spurs fell behind by another 15 points, and Duncan held the ball facing the frame.

Seeing that Li Ang didn't double-team, Duncan planned to force Ao, and then used a hook to end the attack while running.

But the moment Duncan ran forward, his knee collided with O'Neal's knee hard.

Little O'Neal didn't feel anything, but Duncan fell directly to the ground clutching his legs.

Duncan just hit the position of Jermaine's knee, which is the side he was injured before!

"What happened? Tim Duncan fell to the ground! Is he all right, my God this is too bad for the Spurs!"

The on-site commentator was nervously watching the situation on the court. Popovich also instantly pushed away the sandbag Budenholzer who was blocking him, and stared blankly at Duncan who was struggling on the court.

No matter how strong a person is, there is a limit, even Duncan is no exception.

Because of being too exhausted, Duncan's already fragile knees have become vulnerable.

As a result, this kind of accident happened at this time, which completely dragged down No. 21 in the holy city.

Little O'Neal spread his hands. Although he hated the Spurs, he really didn't mean to do that just now.

He just wanted to take a step sideways to block Duncan, but he didn't expect Duncan's knee to hit him.

"Murderer, murderer, bastard!" Popovich was completely out of control, yelling wildly from the sidelines.

Duncan is his most valuable asset. Anyone in the Spurs can live without him, but they just can't live without Duncan.

Duncan was injured. From Popovich's point of view, it was as if his wife had been slapped in public. He really wanted to rush to the stage to slap Xiao Ao as if he was happy.

But... he doesn't have hot skills, you know?

This feeling of lying flat and letting others bully him made Popovich feel even more ashamed.

Popovich was flushed with anger, he felt a little dizzy, probably because his blood pressure had risen again, but he couldn't care less about it at the moment.

Li Ang looked at the distraught old man on the sidelines, but he didn't sympathize with him.

It can only be said that it’s not that we don’t report, it’s that the time has not yet come.

And now, the time has come.

Popovich has dealt with so many people over the years, from Carter to Ray Allen, from Kobe to Nash...

When these guys crashed, Popovich was the one with the vested interest, and he had blood on his hands.

And now, he has paid the price, and he finally understands what it feels like to lose a star.

The fly in the ointment is that it was not Popovich himself who was injured.

Duncan has been unable to stand up, which proves that Duncan's injury is indeed serious.

Because of Duncan's personality, if nothing happened, he would not roll around on the ground to add drama to himself.

Duncan doesn't know how to act at all. Don't you see that Ginobili often looks at Duncan when he flops.

The team doctor came on the field quickly, and after simply asking Duncan a few questions, he was carried off the field on a stretcher.

Popovich looked at Duncan who was carried out, and suddenly his whole body went limp, and he fell to the bench.

After being stunned for a while, Popovich clenched his fist again and called Pachulia.

He knew very well that after losing Duncan, he couldn't win this game.

But he had to let it out!

I'm not good, everyone don't be good.

Destroy together!

Cuban: Hurry up, hurry up and destroy hahahaha!

Pachulia played very reluctantly. He really didn't want to risk his life for a Suns player, but this guy couldn't help himself in the arena.

Who speaks the most on the Spurs?It is him who Popovich speaks the most.

The owner who sells tractors also listens to Popovich in basketball matters.

For a small player like Pachulia, whether he can play in the Spurs is a matter of Popovich's words.

And Pachulia knew that once a person like himself disappeared from the public eye for a period of time, almost no one cared about it.
