NBA: Becoming stronger starts with hard work and mastery

The big news is that the finals are still a big deal.

If it was in the previous life, the fans of the San Antonio Spurs would have been accustomed to the finals, but today is not the case. For the entire San Antonio Spurs, this is the first time in their history to reach the finals!

The Spurs' home court also welcomed the grand opening of the finals for the first time!

Although Tim Duncan did not react much to the cheers of the audience, David Robinson, who has been fighting on this field for more than ten years, has begun to burst into tears at this moment!

"Finally, finally, we finally led the Spurs to achieve a breakthrough in the finals. Our Spurs are no longer a rookie team that has never stepped into the highest arena."

David Robinson looked at Duncan, who was only in his early 20s and had such a dull expression, and said puzzledly:

"Tim, this is the finals. You and I have achieved a new breakthrough in the history of the Spurs. Why are you not excited at all?"

"But--" Duncan was also a little confused: "David, we haven't won the championship yet."

As soon as these words came out, it was like a hard stick forced into the mouth of the admiral. Compared with Duncan, who only had the championship in his eyes, his style suddenly became low.

David Robinson curled his lips and began to give Duncan value:

"Tim, for you, it may not be difficult to enter the finals, because we entered the finals in just the second season, but I have waited for this moment for 12 years. It took me 12 years to get to where you took two years. Moreover, we have already won the game and successfully won a game from the Celtics' home court."

"Winning?" Duncan didn't understand: "We just won a game. Now the finals score is only 1:1. We and the Celtics are three games away from winning. This is a tie. We must not be careless."

"Haha, look at what you said!" David Robinson was excited: "So It can be said that young people like you still have too little playoff experience. You don't understand what it means for us to win a victory at the Celtics' home court! "

"The format of the finals is different from the previous playoffs. It is a 2-3-2 format. Although they played two home games first, they will have to fight three more times at our Spurs' home court. "

"Since we have already won a victory, it means that as long as we protect our three home courts, we don't even need to go back to the Celtics to successfully win the championship!"

"Win three games in a row?" Tim Duncan said faintly: "David, you are still optimistic. Look at the guy on the opposite side, it seems like he wants to eat people!"

Han Yi in the distance took a step into the sky from the free throw line, stretched his abdomen to the extreme in the air, changed hands, and dunked!

"Wow--" A 300-pound white man wearing a Duncan jersey had already shouted half of it, and swallowed the other half back, "I'm a Spurs fan, how can I cheer for the Celtics?"

When Han Yi landed gracefully, McGrady leaped up at the other end. McGrady, who jumped with his legs crossed, turned 360 degrees in the air and looked back, and dunked the ball into the basket fiercely with his exaggerated arm span!

"Bang!"

The sound of the basketball hitting the basket collided with the surrounding sound waves along with the microphone on the basket!

"Wow!"

I can't hold it anymore, I can't hold it anymore!

The most loyal Spurs fans on the sidelines also screamed with Han Yi and McGrady's graceful dunks. Compared with the Spurs' mediocre and boring preparations for the game, the Celtics' pre-game preparations were too cool!

Han Yi's moves can be considered as actual moves in the NBA, but McGrady's dunk is the ultimate display of pure physical talent and skills.

It seems that the next game is not the third game of the finals, but the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest. At this moment, it doesn't matter who you are a fan of. What matters is that you are the "God" who spent a lot of money to watch the game.

If you don't cheer for such a wonderful dunk, when will you cheer!

"Are you in a good mood?"

Han Yi asked McGrady, and McGrady asked back: "Why are you in a bad mood? I'm in a very good mood now!"

The haze of the last game has long been swept away. McGrady is now full of confidence. McGrady looked at Han Yi seriously:

"Boss, are you really playing the third position today? Is this change too radical?"

After dunking, Han Yi made 5 consecutive three-pointers from the top of the arc, and then replied:

"As long as you can adapt to the second position, I will play the third position.

The No. 3 position is no problem!"

"Boss, you are joking again," McGrady laughed: "I started out as the No. 2 position."

When the whole team heard Han Yi said that he wanted to play the No. 3 position, they were all quite shocked. This was the finals.

Although Han Yi had occasionally played the role of a small forward at the No. 3 position before, it was only an occasional guest appearance. In such a crucial game, the absolute core of the team made such a big position adjustment, which was extremely rare in the history of the NBA.

The last time there was such an exaggerated position change in the finals, it was because Magic Johnson replaced Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the center in his rookie season. But the reason why Elvin Johnson played the No. 5 position in that game was because Jabbar , although Magic Johnson is the No. 1, it is not too much for him to play the No. 5 with his height of 2.06 meters.

But now the Celtics have no injuries and are not short of players on the outside. Han Yi took the initiative to play the No. 3 position. Is this really a good thing for the whole team?

You know, from the first two games, Ben Wallace and Dennis Rodman may be able to limit David Robinson, but facing Tim Duncan, it was really a waste from beginning to end.

The one who can really fight Duncan head to head is Han Yi!

"Don't panic!" Han Yi smiled: "The reason why I play the No. 3 today is to tell you that Duncan, this bastard, will be handed over to me today, and you don't have to worry about it."

The Celtics were confused: "?? Can it be like this? ”

When the game started, the Spurs had a bunch of black question marks above their heads.

With Han Yi choosing to play the three position today, the Celtics' starting lineup became:

PG: Joe Dumars, SG: Tracy McGrady, SF: Han Yi, PF: Dennis Rodman, C: Ben Wallace.

Ben Wallace and Tim Duncan jumped the ball at the start!

But the person who kicked off was not the referee today, but the Spurs' famous iceman George Gervin, who jumped the ball before David Robinson and Tim Duncan. , George Gervin, who has been selected to the All-NBA Team 9 times and has been the scoring champion 4 times, is definitely the first person in the history of the Spurs!

At this important moment when the Spurs entered the finals for the first time in history, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Spurs' first home game, George Gervin was specially allowed to stand on the stage of the finals with Duncan and Robinson. It must be said that the Spurs really put in a lot of effort!

But this opening shot was obviously just a ceremony and could not really count, so Big Ben and Duncan did not jump, but just symbolically flicked the ball and passed the ceremony.

Han Yi only wanted to say: "It's useless!"
