In the roar of the fans, Richard and the pirates will start to leave.
Back in the dressing room, the players were very excited, especially the two of them, Maureen and Peyton, the championship is close at hand, and then they only need to kill the Spurs or the Lakers, they can get the championship they dream of.
"All right, guys, it's all over. Don't take this eastern champion seriously."
"Michael's words, you also heard that the eastern championship is nothing. I think whether it's arenzo or Gary, they will not take this eastern Championship seriously. Their only goal is to win the championship."
"We don't want to be the top loser, so in the next finals, we have to win." Richard inspired the general in the dressing room.
"Coach, I'm sorry..." Paul's apologetic voice came from the corner of the dressing room.
He knew what his injury meant, adding a few points to the pirate team's difficulty in winning the title.
In the end, the pirates may lose the Finals because they lose the chain at a critical moment!
In this case, Paul naturally is full of apologies and feels sorry for everyone.
Richard waved. "Don't worry, Chris, your injury is not serious. Maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you will be on the training ground."
Richard also has a primary injury scroll on hand, which can be used by Paul at the moment.
The intermediate injury scroll, Richard also has, but for Paul who has no old injury to use really some waste.
……
Paul nodded reassuringly. Richard's words reassured him a lot. He could not believe the team doctor's words, but he would not believe Richard's words. Who would doubt Richard's words?
"Old man, it's been a hard day. Thank you for your perfect performance. Let's make it to the finals easily." Richard thanked Peyton.
Tonight, Peyton scored 12 points and 6 assists in the half-time. It was also effective in defending Billups, which didn't give Billups too many points.
"What do you say thank you for? It's like the pirate team won the championship, regardless of my ring." Peyton said with a smile.
Everyone laughed, there is an old man like a treasure at home, and there are two super veterans in the pirate team.
Monen and Peyton are two people who have high prestige among the new generation. Seeing Peyton's rare joke, people feel that Peyton has become more and more friendly.
……
Richard waited patiently for the result of the Western decision after the eastern decision.
When the pirates eliminated the pistons, the Spurs played a 3-2 big score with the Lakers, and the Spurs temporarily took the lead.
Richard feels the Lakers may lose the series, and they are still not the Spurs' opponents.
Although the Lakers have introduced Big Ben, the strength of the inner line has been strengthened, but Big Ben alone, it is difficult to make too much trouble for Duncan.
The former top blazer, that's because Auburn and auburn worked together to suppress the Spurs.
At present, the Lakers only have big Ben, and other players in the team are totally out of reach. It's unlikely that they want to suppress the Spurs' inside line.
The outside lineup of the Spurs is no worse than that of the Lakers. The Lakers have Kobe Bryant, the Spurs have Parker and Ginobili.
As for Lamar Odom, the role he can play is not much bigger than Bowen.
Sure enough, in the G6 game, Kobe Bryant said he scored 41 points, but finally lost to the Spurs. He had no choice but to stop the game and finish their season.
Richard watched the live broadcast, and when the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Kobe Bryant trembled with anger.
Not surprisingly, the Lakers' lineup will have to continue to improve next season.
As for whether Gasol is the big Gasol who introduced Grizzlies, Richard is not sure.
At this time next year, I'm afraid the Lakers will become even more formidable.
But Richard is not very worried. Next year's pirates will become a strong and impeccable team. Even if the Lakers bring in Gasol, Richard doesn't care.
……
It's good news for the pirate fans that Paul has recovered from his primary injury roll.
The pirate team is again strong and strong.
……
This year's finals started a few days later than in previous years. It was not until June 7 that the finals officially began.
Normally, it's the same. It's also the finals on June 7, but the end time is similar to that of previous years, because someone has been swept this year
On June 7, the pirate arena was filled with people.
Richard made some mobilization before the game to let the players relax. Don't make yourself too tight at this moment, which will affect the condition on the field.
In fact, both players are nervous at the moment.There are many new players in the pirate team. It's impossible to play in the Finals without any tension.
And the Spurs are a little nervous.
If we want to say that the Spurs team has suffered a lot from who, it is undoubtedly Richard.
Under normal circumstances, the Spurs are now in the hands of three titles, namely, 98-99 season, 02-03 season and 04-05 season.
But in 1999, when they met the top pioneers, they didn't rush out of the west at all.
In 2003, they met with the top piston and were killed by the piston in the finals.
It's not easy to wait for Richard to start the new army pirate team. They won the championship in 2005.
It can be said that when the Spurs met Richard in the playoffs, they never took advantage of him. They always lost.
Now the Spurs are playing in the finals with Richard's team, and the Spurs are also beating drums.
Will history repeat itself? Will you lose to pirates again?
Although the pirate team's strength is not as good as the top blazers and the top pistons, it is also the team led by Richard. Who knows what magic things Richard can do.
……
With half an hour to go before the start of the game, Richard began to bleed.
All of them have reached the finals. It's enough for Richard to lose to Jordan once in the finals. Now he doesn't want to lose to the Spurs in any way.
The All-Star light has remained, which is not very big for the promotion of players at present.
Some injury scrolls and pills, Richard also stayed.
For the rest, Richard has made it all available to the players.
Richard took out the mad dog for Roy.
Clark's hot pot, take it out for Monin.
The happiness of the lower body is also for Monin. The confrontation with Duncan will be extremely fierce. Richard doesn't want Monin to be hurt.
If Paul is injured or other position is injured, Richard can provide a substitute, but once Maureen is injured, Richard will directly catch the blind, and Valerio can't replace the role of Maureen at all.
If it wasn't for the famous spots that were too precious, Richard even wanted to throw them all on the players.
……
When everything was ready, the players from both sides began to enter.
Richard went out to greet Popovich. Popovich watched and met Richard in the finals. He couldn't help sighing.
He didn't know where Richard came from. He was able to do things that ordinary people couldn't believe.
"Li, did you know in advance that gabajosa's health is not good, so you recommended it to me?" Popovich asked with a low smile.
Gabayosha was injured and left the field in the Western Conference. Now it is certain that he will not be able to participate in the finals.
But it doesn't have a big impact on the Spurs' strength. They have a more experienced houri.
Richard quickly waved his hand, which he could not recognize.
"Greg, you have no conscience."
"Gabriella is a rookie for a while? As for the injury, who can know that I am not the real God? If I were the real God, I would not let Paul get hurt in the Eastern Conference. "
Popovich just wanted to make a joke with Richard. I didn't expect that Richard was so active and quiet. How could I feel that Richard really had a ghost in his heart.
……
The players on both sides have already begun to rub their hands and wait for the referee to whistle and start to fight.
"Doodle!" The referee whistled the start of the game.
The starting line-up of the Spurs made Richard nod his head and praise. Popovich is really a man who spends little money on big things.
Oberto, Duncan, Bowen, Finley and Parker.
This Finley is Michael Finley of Jordan, nicknamed poor version. He is also an all star player at his peak.
At the moment, although the situation has declined a little, but it is also very easy to cut a per game.
The key is cheap enough. Finley's previous contract was bought by the Mavericks, and he joined the Spurs in the turn
Popovich didn't know what magic he had played, which made the former All-Star star star like the Spurs and signed a fairly cheap contract.
For Finley, the size of his contract is the same. Anyway, he can only take the Mavericks' buyout contract.
With less than $3 million a year, the Spurs must have taken advantage of a former All-Star player like Finley.
……
In addition to this starting line-up, the Spurs' backup team is also quite strong, with Ginobili and holly in charge.
The starting line-up for the pistons is Monin, Milicic, igodara, Granger and Paul.
The players of both sides stepped onto the midfield line to jump. Milicic performed well and got the first ball right.Paul opened up with Maureen under the basket and scored two points on Oberto's head.
Oberto is definitely the short board of the starting lineup of the Spurs. His strength is the worst among the five, not only in the starting line-up of the Spurs, but also in some ordinary teams in the league. I'm afraid he can't play in the starting line-up
Don't say against Monin, maybe Valerio can easily clean up Oberto.
Richard made it clear before the game that he wanted to play Oberto until Popovich replaced him.
The first attack round, the pirates play, then the Spurs attack round.
Parker has the ball to break through, but he is facing Paul's defense, Paul's young speed is also first-class, Parker wants to use speed to get rid of Paul, certainly not so easy.
After a series of attempts to break through without success, Parker points the ball to Finley, the latter outside three-point shot did not hit, the rebound was also taken by monen.
When it came to the attack round of the pirate team, it was still carrying out the strategy of attacking Oberto.
At this time, Milicic showed his great value.
After Paul gives the ball to Milicic, Milicic will organize the next attack. Of course, the only object he organizes is monen.
Duncan's defense is so good, it's hard for both Milicic and monen to score in his front.
But they didn't plan to fight with Duncan. They wanted to catch Oberto.
Duncan comes to guard against Maureen, and Milicic immediately hits oboto.
Duncan changes defense for Milicic, who assists Monin with his strong passing ability.
In any case, it's not hard to fight with Duncan. No matter how strong your Duncan's defense is, it's not giving you the chance to play.
This tactic is quite obscene naturally. Richard doesn't really like obscene tactics. He prefers hard hitting tactics.
But at present, because there is no super center in the team, we can only play such dirty tactics
In the first few minutes, Oberto was seized by the pirates, which gave the pirates a big lead.
Popovich stood on the sidelines, his face was iron and blue, roaring at the referee on the court, after all, one of the three great roars of the coach group.
Seeing the situation getting worse, Popovich immediately called a pause.
He is very clear that the point of Oberto must not be left on the field. If he continues to stay on the field, Richard will still hold on.
"Manu, get ready to come on stage..." Popovich sighed. Just at the beginning of the game, he had to take out Ginobili, the big killer from the bench.
Of course, Popovich can also use Holly to top the position of power forward, but Holly is short and old. It's hard to say whether the defense effect can be better than Oberto.
Popovich felt that, if there is no accident, he sent holly, I'm afraid Richard will start to beat Holly again.
……
Watching Popovich send a big four small lineup, Richard relieved, this is the situation he wants.
If there's any help for Duncan on the inside, it's really too difficult to deal with. Now there's no help. Milicic and Monin must work together to prevent Duncan's violent outburst.
Although the Spurs have four small lineups, in fact, Milicic is good enough because he is young and has good physical fitness. When he chases old Bowen or old Finley, he is also very good.
Finley is 34 years old. If he's alive and well, the Mavericks can't buy his contract.
As for Bowen, he was even older that year. He was 36 years old
The strength of defense is still there, but it's hard for the offensive side to run comfortably.
In the attack round of the pirates, it is still Paul who controls the ball to the front court and then gives it to Milicic.
Milicic's seven foot height, unless Duncan to match, or no matter who is playing, are misplaced, can be comfortable in the middle shot.
And if Duncan comes to catch up with the defense, Milicic uses his own strong organizational ability to assist monen in scoring.
It can be said that Milicic is Richard's big weapon against the Spurs.
Careful fans should be able to find that many European centers are good at organizing. In fact, their data are not comparable to those of black and rough center players.
But their contracts are no less than black and rough, because of the strategic value of these European centers.
They can lead the team on the inside.
……
In the defensive round, Monin is in charge of defending Duncan alone. It's impossible to defend alone, but Duncan can can't get points recklessly.
Milicic and igodara are in charge of dealing with the two veterans of the Spurs. From time to time, they can spare some energy to harass Duncan.
……
Popovich's eyes were wide open, and he had an ominous premonition that Milicic might be their spurs' nightmare.When Milicic was selected by Richard, he talked with Larry Brown about it. Larry Brown couldn't see Milicic very much. He thought that Richard had failed at last.
Popovich didn't look down on Milicic like Larry Brown, but he didn't pay much attention to Milicic.
But tonight Milicic's performance made him realize that the player was a little too scary.
