Chapter 358 The Blackest Black Cat in History
Popovich was not interested in explaining. He gave Duncan a sideways look, looked up at the big screen, and made a look like I was annoying and don't provoke me.
Duncan was very helpless, but there was no way, the old man was the biggest.
Walking to the free throw line, his eyes are full of flying black cats. Bobcats fans have played tricks on throwing black cats...
In this atmosphere, if he can still hit free throws, then he is not Tim Duncan, but Stephen Nash who likes to lick the soles of his shoes!
Duncan frowned, hit the iron twice with "boom" and "boom", and then returned to the sideline with a blank expression to prepare to serve.
At this point, the Spurs lineup is:
Tony Parker, Brent Barry, Tayshaun Prince, Tim Duncan, Nazr Mohammad
The Charlotte Bobcats lineup is:
Stephon Marbury, Andre Iguodala, Gerald Wallace, Chris Anderson and Dwight Howard
Without Ginobili's sharp breakthrough in the heart of the Bobcats, Don Nelson can continue to double-team Duncan without a bottom line.
As for Tony Parker, in this series, he has degenerated into a point guard who has no basket for three-pointers, no basket for free throws, and his body is not yet strong.
Faced with such a Frenchman, the best way for the Bobcats is naturally:
Take him away!
Therefore, the defending champion, who injured two people, did not follow the rule of "the underdog must win", but was pressed and beaten by the Charlotte Bobcats all the time, rubbing against the floor...
Although the Bobcat players feel very bad today, they have a "horse political commissar"!
Stephen Marbury played very tough today, he didn't shoot a single three-pointer, and all battles were resolved under the basket, either you die or I live!
In addition, but with excellent defense, the Bobcats can make the Spurs as iron as themselves.
In the first half of the game, the two sides kept biting the point difference of 3 to 10 points.
After the Charlotte Bobcats lost their touch, they became a single-core team dragged away by Stephen Marbury. They couldn't open the point difference to double digits in one go, which made the Spurs die.
After losing Ginobili, the Spurs have no explosive power at all, and they can't catch up with the score in one go, so they can show the Bobcats.
At halftime, the score was 42:46, with the Spurs trailing by 4 points.
After the start of the second half, Don Nelson made another surprise move. The exhausted "horse political commissar" was pressed to rest on the bench. The Charlotte Bobcats resorted to a strange array of three insiders without a point guard:
Andre Iguodala played point guard, Gerald Wallace played shooting guard, and then there were three insiders, David West, Dwight Howard and Chris Anderson.
Resolute, unreserved three-team Tim Duncan!
This is an upright conspiracy, and Popovich can't avoid fighting, because the Spurs have no second person who can stand up and carry the team down.
Duncan struggled so much that every score he scored was an adventure in a muscle jungle, missing the first seven shots in the third quarter.
The tactic worked!
The Charlotte Bobcats took advantage of the situation and played a wave of 9-0, pulling the score to 7 minutes and 31 seconds left in the third quarter:
42:55
13 points difference, Tim Duncan, you give up, right?
It didn't take long, however, for the momentum to reverse.
The blood of the Vikings is revived, and the demonized Tim Duncan has regained control of the game!
From 6 minutes and 18 seconds to 52.6 seconds, Duncan scored 16 points in half a quarter.
He kept going to the Charlotte Bobcats' basket, squeezed desperately into the basket to score, grabbed rebounds and continued to shoot if he couldn't make a shot!
Gritting his teeth, pushing against people, holding on hard, carrying to death...
During this period, Duncan used his iron will to score 4+2 four times, and unlike the first half, he made all four free throws!
In a one-man charge, the great Tim Duncan almost eliminated the three major insiders of the Charlotte Bobcats by himself:
Chris Anderson had four fouls and was replaced by Al Jefferson. Dwight Howard also quickly accumulated four fouls. Don Nelson was forced to suspend the three inside tactics.
At the end of the third quarter, the Spurs chased the score to 61:67.
In the fourth quarter, Tim Duncan, who didn't rest for a minute, went into battle again.
Feed the ball after receiving a breakthrough from Tony Parker, dunk!
Carrying David West hard, he turned over and hit a jumper!
Hitting back, attracting double-teams and then splitting the ball, Brent Barry hit a three-pointer...
Almost every point of the Spurs is related to Duncan, either by him personally, or he created opportunities for his teammates.
But this is not enough, the Spurs are still short of a Manu Ginobili from victory.
Although Brent Barry played equally well, scoring 21 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, at best he lived up to the opportunities Duncan created, but he could not relieve Duncan's pressure and become the other pole of the team.
Tim Duncan, who was injured, played almost the whole game, spent 47 minutes, scored 41 points, 21 rebounds, 11 assists, and a violent triple-double with 4 blocks.
But he lacks a helper. Although Chris Anderson and Dwight Howard all graduated with six offenses at the last moment, the Spurs were unable to follow suit. They watched the 7-point difference, but they couldn't catch up!
88:95
The Charlotte Bobcats had the last laugh. They defeated the defending champion San Antonio with a big score of 4:1 and became the 2004-2005 season NBA champion!
The entire Time Warner Center arena is boiling!
The sky was full of confetti floating down from the air, and the fans sang the ballad of the champion.
Stephon Marbury cried bitterly, he knelt in the center of the court, his index fingers pointed to the sky...
"Horse Political Commissar" scored 40 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds.
This game he is the absolute protagonist, is the key to the victory of the Charlotte Bobcats.
When his teammates felt collectively frozen, it was he who rushed to the opponent's basket to score again and again, or made fouls desperately!
Squeezed out by close friends from Minnesota, abandoned by New Jersey people, and then Phoenix became a "cancer" that everyone shouted and beat...
In Charlotte, low-key and introverted, waiting patiently, it was worth it at this moment. Stephen Marbury finally completed his own redemption. At this moment, he is the most dazzling star among the stars!
Charlotte Lynx, a dark horse, oh no, a black cat, is finally black out of the sky, undisputedly the darkest in history...
In the long history of the NBA, there is only one example of a team winning the championship, and that is the Philadelphia Warriors who won the championship in the 1946-1947 season.
However, at that time, the BAA league was first established, and all 11 teams were newly formed. No matter who wins the championship, it can be said that the team will win the championship immediately.
In a real sense, the Milwaukee Bucks hold the record for the fastest win after joining the NBA with a new team.
They established the team in 1968 and joined the NBA in the same year. In the 1970-1971 season, the Bucks only took three years to reach the podium of the championship, becoming the team that took the shortest time to win the championship after joining the NBA.
Now, this record belongs to the Charlotte Bobcats!
