Add One, I Don’t Know How To Fight

After half the game, the Spurs were already 15 points behind.

The return of O'Neal Jr. directly broke the balance of this series.

Although Xiao Ao has passed his peak, his performance today was very strong.

On the offensive end, Duncan can be restrained so that Duncan cannot devote himself to helping defend Li Ang.

On the defensive end, O'Brien can also make Duncan uncomfortable, so that Li Ang will not be in the middle of the two people all the time like in the last game.

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

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

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

Then there was Ibaka from the Thunder, and now O'Neill has one and eight.

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

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

The Spurs were unable to take advantage inside, which made them very passive.

Don't look at the last game, the Suns also let the Spurs trail 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 are still 15 points ahead of the Spurs when Li Ang rotates normally.

Facts have proved that a man who does big things still needs a good wife at home.

As soon as Xiao Ao, the virtuous wife, came back, Li Ang felt a lot more relaxed.

In the locker room during halftime, Xiao Ou was also very excited.

At the team's most critical moment, he was finally no longer a spectator.

At this time, Tomjanovich had just changed the urine bag and came out. Every time Master changes the urine bag during halftime, the morale of the Suns players will be boosted.

Fans are thinking to themselves, Master is still persisting even though he is so miserable, who have the right to give up?

Tomjanovich probably doesn’t even know that he has become the first person to make chicken soup out of urine.

The atmosphere on the Suns' side was very optimistic and positive, and they were about to end the game completely in the second half.

Elsewhere, Popovich was gnashing his teeth in the locker room.

Damn it, Li Ang and Duncan had agreed to duel, but Li Ang actually called to scare him!

You don't abide by the rules of the world!

Li Ang: There is nothing wrong with Duncan challenging the two of us alone. It is indeed a duel. Why doesn't he follow the rules of the world?

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

If you can’t shake it anymore, you’re going to ruin yourself, hahahaha!

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

Duncan was holding his knee at this time. The continuous high-intensity fighting made Duncan's knee sore.

Duncan's knees have always been very fragile. In fact, Duncan has been plagued by injuries since he tore his meniscus in 2000.

It is worth mentioning that Kidd, the Suns' star player that year, was also absent due to injury and only participated in one game in the first round. In the series two years ago when both Duncan and Kidd were healthy, the Spurs eliminated the Suns in the following game. In that series, Spurs point guard Johnson performed well and averaged a career-high 20.5 points per game on field goal percentage. 64%. Kidd performed poorly, averaging only 14 points per game and shooting 37% from the field.

Kidd:? ? ?

Do I have anything to do with this? Damn it!

Two years ago, Duncan suffered from plantar fasciitis, which caused an imbalance in the strength of his legs, which greatly weakened Deng Shu's strength.

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

So much so that many people have forgotten that he is actually an old patient. If you look closely, you'll even notice that Duncan's knees can't even be fully straightened!

So, don’t blame Duncan for only playing 45°. With his physical condition, no one else would be able to play at a 45° angle.

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

In this game, Xiao Ou made things worse, which directly made Duncan depressed.

He felt that he needed a rest. Although he was a rookie, Duncan had been fighting in the league for almost 10 years. He was very aware of his physical condition.

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

But the team was 15 points behind and it was a life-or-death battle. Duncan really couldn't sit back and watch.

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

If you persist for one more half, it should be fine, right?

After the start of the second half, the Spurs still couldn't narrow the point difference.

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

But the Spurs' offense was also in a mess. The two teams really competed with each other today.

The third quarter of the game gave Stern a headache. He never expected that the Suns would one day engage in such an ugly defensive battle.

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

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

The defense of both sides was so tight today that Kidd and Rondo, who refused to shoot three-pointers, began to exchange three-pointers.

Li Ang was already tired, but Kidd and Rondo kept shooting, which made him even more tired.

Li Ang really wants to tell them to stop immediately. If you are not tired, I will be tired of fighting for the board!

After the third quarter, the two teams were tied at 62-50, with the Suns still leading by 12 points.

The Spurs only scored 50 points after three quarters, which shows 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 court.

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

So, Popovich looked at Pachulia, who had never had a chance to play in the playoffs.

Ginobili and Horry both knelt down, and now Popovich only has Pachulia, the championship foundation man, to use.

Pachulia trembled when he found Popovich looking at him. Coach, please stop messing with me, okay? I'm really afraid that Li Ang will beat me to death on the spot.

I'm just a stinker who plays basketball to earn some hard-earned money. Why do you think about making me work hard every day?

But Pachulia couldn't refuse to play for no reason. He still stood up and walked to Popovich.

"Go and get little O'Neal down for me. His legs are very fragile now. Just do the same with his legs!"

Popovich doesn’t even pretend anymore. If he didn’t give the picture but only the sound, people might think it was a fighting game coach setting up tactics.

"Craig, we..." Duncan spoke. He was a little worried that Popovich would put himself in the ditch due to his work.

Duncan knows very well who Rondo is. If Pachulia dares to punish O'Neal, Rondo will definitely fight back to punish Duncan.

Popovich hesitated for a moment. He was really afraid of retaliation.

After some struggle, Popovich decided to let Pachulia go back, giving up the idea of ​​continuing to work.

He got what he wanted!

Popovich angrily smashed the tactical board, refusing to let the idiot devise a ridiculous strategy!

Unable to beat the ball and unable to complete the whole job, Popovich is now in a state of complete incompetence and rage.

His face was red, and it looked like his blood pressure had soared.

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

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

But because it was a defensive battle, the score was never completely widened, and kept hovering in the 12-15 point range.

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

"You can get ahead if you work hard." To be honest, this is one of the three major misconceptions in life.

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

After graduation, I realized that I could only get into Yadi with all my hard work.

What a scoring period.

Duncan thought he could reach it if he tried hard, but in fact he couldn't reach 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 to others about his glory in the last century.

In the fifth 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 did not double-team, Duncan planned to force a breakthrough on Xiao Ao, and then use a hook to end the attack while running.

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

O'Neal didn't feel anything yet, but Duncan covered his legs and fell directly to the ground.

The position where Duncan just hit Xiao O's knee is exactly the side where he was injured before!

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

The on-site commentator was nervously paying attention to the situation on the court. Popovich also instantly pushed away the sandbag Budenholzer in front of him and stared blankly at Duncan who was struggling on the court.

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

Duncan's already fragile knees have become vulnerable due to excessive fatigue.

As a result, this kind of accident happened at this time, which completely brought down No. 21 in the Holy City.

O'Neal Jr. spread his hands. Although he hated the Spurs, he really didn't mean what he did 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 completely lost control and yelled crazily from the sidelines.

Duncan is his most valuable asset. The Spurs can live without anyone, but they cannot live without Duncan.

Duncan was injured. To Popovich, it was as if his wife had been raped in public. He really wanted to rush on stage and slap Xiao Ou for happiness.

But...he doesn't have the ability to be hot, you know, right?

This feeling of having to lie down and be bullied made Popovich feel even more humiliated.

Popovich's face turned red with anger. He felt a little dizzy. His blood pressure was probably rising again, but he couldn't care less about it at this time.

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

All I can say is that it’s not that I won’t retaliate, it’s that the time has not yet come.

And now, the time has come.

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

When these guys fell, Popovich was the one with a 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 his star player.

The only 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 happens, he won't roll around on the ground to make things worse for himself.

Duncan doesn't know how to act at all. He often confused Duncan when he saw Ginobili flopping.

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

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

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

He knew very well that after losing Duncan, he could not win this game.

But he must speak out!

If I am not good, everyone should not be good.

Destroy together!

Cuban: Hurry, hurry up and destroy hahahaha!

Pachulia came on the court extremely reluctantly. He really didn't want to risk his life to mess with the Suns players, but this man couldn't help himself in the world.

Who speaks best on the Spurs? It's him, Popovich, who speaks best.

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

Whether a small player like Pachulia can play for the Spurs is a matter of Popovich's words.

And Pachulia knows that once people like him disappear from the public eye for a period of time, basically no one cares about them.

Pachulia had no choice but to satisfy the old thief as much as possible.

In order to survive on the court, Pachulia actually learned a new trick during this period. This move was extremely sinister and destructive. He believed that even Li Ang might not be able to withstand it.

Li Ang also became vigilant after seeing Pachulia appear.

He knows what Popovich wants to do, and it is not impossible for Popovich to do such things as malicious revenge.

Now that he is about to advance to the Western Conference Finals, Li Ang must not let the team have any more accidents!

When play resumed, Pachulia was cautious.

There was no other way. Pachulia had to be cautious because of her most primitive desire to survive. If she acted rashly, she would really be beaten to death by Li Ang.

He had been looking for opportunities to strike, but he found that Li Ang was staring at him all the time.

One word to describe Pachulia's current situation is - try or die.

Pachulia wants to make money on his knees with the Spurs, but he doesn't want to risk his life.

The last time his jaw was broken by Li Ang, it had already left him with a psychological shadow.

He was grateful that he had fully recovered, unlike Bowen who had to have someone wipe his saliva.

Pachulia will never do anything like exchanging one limit for another.

He has been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for a chance for Li Ang to reveal his flaws.

Finally, this opportunity appeared three minutes before the end of the fourth quarter!

At that time, Li Ang was competing with Finley for an out-of-control basketball. When they reached the sideline, the two reached out and touched the basketball almost at the same time.

The referee's whistle sounded and the basketball went out of bounds, but the referee was currently unable to determine who had the ball, so he needed to wait for replays.

Because the ball went out of bounds near the Spurs bench, the extremely angry Popovich deliberately stood up and pointed at Li Ang's nose and cursed.

"You bastard, you can never do whatever you want with me on my team, I will send you to hell, damn bastard!"

"Go away, idiot, and keep your mouth clean!" Li Ang just responded to Popovich, not wanting to ignore him.

Seeing that Li Ang was not angry, Popovich reached out and pushed Li Ang. He just wanted to stimulate Li Ang to take action. If Li Ang directly hit the coach, he would definitely be suspended for many games.

When the time comes, the Mavericks will have the upper hand.

Popovich just doesn't want the Suns to do well, and he just doesn't want to see his opponent go smoothly in the future. If I can't win, you can't win either!

As soon as the two started pushing and shoving, the conflict escalated instantly.

Seeing physical contact between the two, players from both sides immediately separated the two, and the scene became extremely chaotic.

In the chaos, Li Ang felt someone hugging him from the side and trying to knock him to the ground.

It's Pachulia!

He approached and hugged Li Ang under the guise of a fight. In fact, he wanted to knock Li Ang down, because his move was a posture that required two people to lie down to complete it happily.

But as a professional wrestler, how could Li Ang be easily knocked down by a layman?

He grabbed Pachulia's hands and threw them down like a reflex, knocking Pachulia down.

Pachulia was thrown to the ground, and the atmosphere at the scene became even more chaotic.

There were people all around, and Pachulia was kicked a few times by the careless crowd.

Zhazha hit the ground head first when he was thrown down, so he was a little confused on the spot.

He only knew that he had to grab Li Ang's legs, so he vaguely grabbed one leg and began to deploy his newly learned leg locking technique.

If this move is used successfully, it can directly break Li Ang's legs!

Pachulia tried his best, but at this time he heard Popovich yelling: "Let go, let go, you bastard!"

"Don't worry, coach. Even if I'm suspended, I'll make arrangements for Li Ang clearly!" Pachulia not only didn't let go, but worked harder.

This is an opportunity to perform in front of the coach!

Today, I, a scumbag, have to break Li Ang’s heroic, courageous and gentle thigh!

Seeing that Li Ang didn't make any sound, Pachulia quite admired Li Ang. Good guy, you can bear it, right?

So he increased his intensity and saw if you screamed, you screamed for me!

Li Ang still didn't scream, but Popovich screamed louder and louder.

At this time, many people rushed forward and prepared to pull Pachulia away.

Pachulia's willpower was extremely strong today, and it was not easy for him to take this opportunity. He had to beat Li Ang to death!

Therefore, even if a lot of people came to pull him, he still refused to let go.

However, Pachulia saw Li Ang standing beside him with his arms folded and looking at him in a trance.

Li Ang was confused. When did you and Popovich turn against each other?

Pachulia was also stunned for a moment, why are you standing here? Aren't you supposed to be in my arms?

Then he took a closer look and realized that the person he had been locking was not Li Ang, but Popovich!

The attack just now really knocked Pachulia unconscious, so his consciousness was actually in a trance. He just subconsciously grabbed a leg and started to attack. Even in professional fighting competitions, there are cases where players attack referees after being stunned.

Pachulia was about to let go when she heard a "click".

Popovich, whose face was flushed, suddenly became silent and fainted.

In the end, this evil old man fell under his own butcher's knife!

As long as he can't afford to waste Xiao Ao and Li Ang's bad intentions, as long as he doesn't let Pachulia play, he will not suffer this bad news.

Li Ang was dumbfounded. He really didn't expect Pachulia to be one of his own!

You're hiding it too well. If you say that he hasn't studied Infernal Affairs seven or eight times, Li Ang won't believe it.

Pachulia sat on the ground, looking at the unresponsive coach in shock, covering her head with her hands.

Pachulia can be considered famous for being able to keep his coach in check.

In the Internet literary world, he is the first person to charge for leave requests, and in the basketball circle, he is the first person to beat up coaches.

At this time, the fans in the ATT Center were devastated.

Ginobili, Horry, Duncan, Popovich. The Spurs eliminated almost all the main members in this round!

But Sonics fans and Ray Allen will definitely not sympathize with them, but will find it very enjoyable.

This time, it's their turn to tell the Spurs: a family must be neat and tidy!

Pachulia's action was as fierce as a tiger's and became the last straw for the Spurs.

Pachulia was naturally expelled directly and beat his coach until he fainted on the spot. Even Li Ang had never done such a thing.

And Pachulia may face very severe penalties next.

The Spurs' stretcher team was extremely exhausted. They had just carried Duncan out, and before they could even take a breath when they came back, they were informed that they had to carry someone out again.

They were all dumbfounded at the time: "Didn't they just carry it out?"

"Another one was beaten to the ground!"

The staff on the stretcher team were wondering if this was a basketball game.

Looking at Popovich sleeping peacefully, Li Ang couldn't help but sigh.

At such an old age, it is really difficult to suffer from high blood pressure and a broken leg due to anger.

I won’t say anything more, I hope someone is okay.

The Spurs were completely wiped out, and naturally all suspense in this game was lost.

In the end, after Ou's timely return, the Suns easily defeated the Spurs on the road and advanced to the Western Conference Finals with a total score of 4-2!

This time, the Suns completed a hearty revenge and made the Spurs pay a greater price.

It may even be a permanent cost.

After the game, Li Ang looked at the Spurs fans who left the field gloomily, and felt that he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, the empire built by Popovich collapsed, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to build it again in the future.

This team was completely destroyed by the Suns!

The Suns survived another round in this monster house in the Western Conference, but the game is not over yet.

Next, facing the unconvinced Dirk and the darkened Tracy McGrady, it will definitely still be a tough battle.

However, Li Ang is now more concerned about the Spurs than his opponents in the next round.

He wanted to know how deeply Pachulia hurt Popovich this time.

Thanks to the back figure under the light, the Buddhas worshiping and the thousands of immortals coming to the court, etc. for the rewards, thank you all! There are only three days left for the March Monthly Ticket Sprint and Fan Title Events, so please hurry up! Please see the book friend circle event post for event details!
