Chapter 312 The Invincible Spurs
No matter how powerful **Vict is, things like this must be approved by Holt. Therefore, if Holt cannot decide, he cannot operate here, so the game must continue and win, otherwise the attackers will be more and more rampant.
The Spurs are the common enemy of all teams in the league, so even **Vic cannot withstand so much firepower shooting, so they must win in the next game. Only by winning the game can these people who criticize themselves shut up and disappear.
Victory can solve all problems, and if you want to win, the team needs to go back to the right path, at least not like it is now, without uniting with each other and playing with each other's own minds. The team must concentrate on one center, that is victory.
Fortunately, before the next game, there was three days off and there was enough time to solve this problem. **Vic called Duncan first, and after communicating with Duncan, he called Robert Horry over. He was the most appealing player in the team's locker room, and his relationship with Stephen was very good.
The two of them came forward and unified the players' thoughts. Then **Vic called Ginobili and Stephen over and asked them what was wrong. It really couldn't coexist. It turned out that it was fine, why did someone come out with an article and become like this now.
The two of them were speechless. They were both adults and had been playing together for more than a year. Thinking of the gaps over the past few days, the two looked at each other and smiled. After leaving **Vicci's office, the two of them slapped each other. Neither of them slapped the butt. As for Duncan's favorite to rub other people's hair, he only liked this kind of evil.
After two days of confrontational training, the atmosphere within the Spurs has been greatly changed. The strange atmosphere a few days ago was swept away, and everyone was united around Duncan and began to work hard for the goal of championship.
As the team's atmosphere changed, no one thought what the media said was reasonable. In this way, no one paid attention to those things. **Vicci strictly prohibited players from accepting public interviews and made some comments about the team. In this case, many people believe that the Spurs are still the same, but **Vicci suppressed them with high-pressure policies.
So they had many speculations, and they did not confuse the Spurs, but confuse the Spurs' next opponent, the Sacramento Kings. They believed that even if the Spurs were not as serious as the media said, they must be full of doubts inside.
They came to San Antonio from Sacramento with joy, thinking that they could give the Spurs a three-game losing streak, but at the beginning, they were not fooled by the Spurs' fierce offensive. The Spurs' team used their lives and the offensive was like a craze.
When the Kings turned around and launched a counterattack, they came with confidence in winning. It was impossible for them to lose their fighting spirit at once. Especially Kevin Martin, who frequently launched an attack on the Spurs' defense line, which soon caused Michael Finley to commit two fouls.
**Vicci waved his hand and replaced Ginobili in advance. Didn’t you just want to see what happens if Stephen and Ginobili appeared on the court together? Let’s take a good look now. Sure enough, seeing Ginobili appeared on the court, the media increased their attention, and the camera immediately swept the faces of Stephen and Ginobili.
As soon as he got on the court, Ginobili gave Stephen an assist to help Stephen successfully dunk. Everyone thought that this must have been done by Ginobili under the strong request of **Vic. However, in the next round, Stephen assisted Ginobili to shoot a three-pointer.
The more this happens, the more they doubt that if there is no problem between them, there is absolutely no need to be so deliberate. If you assist me, I will immediately repay you. They all use all their spirits to capture the expressions on the faces of Stephen and Ginobili, hoping to prove their remarks through the changes in their expressions.
Unfortunately, he was disappointed. Stephen and Ginobili had normal expressions on their faces, and after the two assists were completed, they would squat and celebrate. It seemed that their relationship was better than before. Following Stephen scored four points in a row, which were Ginobili's assists.
The first quarter ended, and the Spurs led the Kings by 29 to 24 by five points. Could it be that there was no problem between the two people? Seeing Stephen sitting on the bench first, then handing Ginobili a towel, and then the two of them were talking and laughing while drinking Gatorade, many people became suspicious.
The fans at the scene were very happy. Under the misguided media, they all felt that the problem must be extremely serious and the game must be very dangerous. I didn’t expect that the team would be so motivated, and Stephen and Ginobili didn’t seem to have any problems.
There was no problem that disappointed the media, one by one, but it made the fans very happy. Although the players they supported were different, the pursuit was the same, that was the team's victory, so their cheers were particularly loud.
In the second quarter, it was still the previous rotation. Stephen and Ginobili remained on the court at the same time. After two minutes of dullness, Stephen suddenly used an outside three-pointer to prove his attack, and then scored continuously. Ginobili perfectly transformed into an ammunition delivery player, constantly providing Stephen with ammunition.
Three-pointers, mid-range shots, dunks, hook-up Stephen felt so hot today. He made eight of eleven shots in the whole quarter, and two missed them and caused the opponent's foul. He made four free throws and scored 22 points in a single quarter, while Ginobili gave five assists alone.
In addition to increasing his score in this game to 30, Stephen also helped the team lead the opponent 13 points 64 to 51. This crazy scoring momentum finally dispelled the Kings' confidence and fighting spirit, and it was also a powerful counterattack against the media's remarks before the game.
In the second half, Stephen finally did not appear on the court, but at this time Ginobili and Brent Barry cooperated smoothly. Stephen mostly took action, but Brent Barry and Ginobili helped each other more.
Halfway through the third quarter, the Spurs were already leading by 18 points. At this time, Ginobili began to take a break and replaced Bruce Bowen, because in the fourth quarter, he was sometimes required to play, but today's game seems to be a little unnecessary.
Although the Spurs cannot expand the score to more than 20, it also makes the Kings unable to narrow the gap. Even if Kevin Martin and Salmons perform very well, in front of such a Spurs, even if they only compete in offense, they are not the opponent of the Spurs.
Since the Kings have not admitted defeat in advance, with ten minutes left before the end of the game, **Vic replaced Stephen again. Although there was no assist from Ginobili, Stephen's performance was still extremely sharp. While no one could stop the offensive end, he also showed his mighty and domineeringness on the defensive end, blocked Kevin Martin's shot, stole from Francesco Garcia, and took the rebound from Brad Miller's head.
The all-round Stephen is not only Stephen who can only score, but the most conspicuous thing is his score. By the time the fourth quarter reached the seventh minute, the Spurs had already led the Kings by 23 points, and Stephen's personal score also reached 42 points.
As the Kings replaced all the main players, the Spurs also began to replace the substitute. Stephen's score was stopped at 42 points. In today's game, he only played for less than 30 minutes, but scored 42 points. The scoring efficiency was jaw-dropping.
At the same time, Stephen also scored six rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks, eight free throws, four of five three-pointers, and eleven of 16 two-pointers. The Spurs announced their return to the king with a 25-point victory, making all the media and fans shouted that the wolf was coming.
After sending off San Antonio, who came to the Holy City happily and returned home with tragic tragic tragedy, the Spurs ushered in the challenge of the Golden State Warriors again. This is a new enemy. The Kings are the victims of the Spurs in the playoffs, and there is no pleasure in fighting. The Golden State Warriors are different.
The Spurs just lost the game on them, causing so many incidents. Unexpectedly, they came to the door so soon. This made the breath that the Spurs players were holding on quickly, and they played very well from the beginning of the game.
The Warriors are still only offensive but not defense. The Spurs are like them. They gave up defense abnormally and won by attack. The two teams started to attack from the beginning, and the gunpowder smell was strong and they were about to burst out Mars.
Although Byron Davis returned in this game, he was still not a match for the Spurs. Within two minutes, the Warriors lost and started running around with the Spurs. Old Nelson was so late that he shouted and called a timeout there. The old man's artificial bladder was almost full again, which was still useless.
This is not Stephen alone, the Spurs are playing. Now it seems that the Spurs are more like the team coached by Old Nelson. After the first quarter, the Spurs led the Warriors by 16 points 31-14, indicating that this game was a massacre from the beginning.
After changing to the substitute lineup, the crazy spirit of the Spurs declined. The Warriors launched a crazy attack under the leadership of Stephen's second-round pick Monta Ellis. The two teams played a 27-28-28-point range in this quarter, and the Warriors narrowed the distance by one point.
But in the third quarter, the Spurs continued to go crazy again, winning 37 in a single quarter, especially Ginobili, who scored 19 points in all of this, which happened to be the score of the Warriors. The Spurs' leading advantage had reached 33 points.
Even so, the Warriors still did not surrender and concede defeat, but continued to attack the Spurs, but it was useless. The Spurs were simply difficult to defeat today. In the fourth quarter, the Spurs scored 34 points again, while the Warriors only scored 28 points.
