My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 870 Duncan’s Ambition

Compared to the excitement of the conference semifinals, with two tiebreaks and two tiebreaks, the conference finals seemed a bit one-sided.

The Pacers did consume everything in the bloody battle with Philadelphia, especially Stern's crazy whistle blowing in order to prevent the Pacers from continuing to experience violence, which made the situation one-sided.

After all, the Pacers and Philadelphia contributed to the largest playoff violence in recent years. Although no one was injured, in an era when the American professional basketball is becoming more and more modern and globalized, the impact of such violence is really too bad. .

Artest's elbow hit was the trigger for everything. I'm afraid that the Pacers team, especially Artest, will not be favored by the referees in the future.

On the other side, O'Neal, who made bold words, was almost swept again.

1:4.

If it hadn't been for G1 and the Spurs hadn't changed to a smaller lineup, I'm afraid O'Neal would have had another record of being swept in his career.

Even so, 1:4 nailed O'Neal to the pillar of shame.

"Lakers 3:4 Spurs.

Houston 1:4 Spurs.

Lakers = 3 Houston.

Kobe = 3 O'Neals. "

The O'Neal formula on Twitter made countless people laugh.

Although O'Neal performed well in the series, he scored 32.5 points, 13.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.3 blocks, 0.2 steals and 3.2 turnovers with a 57.6% shooting rate.

But Duncan also averaged 28.6 points, 12.1 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 3.1 blocks, 0.5 steals and 2.7 turnovers per game.

More importantly, the Spurs' five-small lineup completely tore apart Houston's offense and defense. Duncan was just a pivot, and he made the entire Spurs spin.

After playing the last game against the Lakers, the Spurs seemed to have defeated monsters and upgraded, rising to a higher level again.

The Lakers inspired the strongest Spurs.

If Harris and Popovich hadn't been racing, and both sides used small lineups, Popovich wouldn't have thought that small lineups could be so useful in such a top-notch matchup!

The regular lineup is a tough matchup with Houston, and the Spurs really don't have much confidence.

Parker averaged 21+6 in the next four games.

Finley averaged 18+5+5 per game.

Horry and Laga Bell averaged more than 40% shooting in the series.

The Spurs have really integrated offense and defense.

June 3, 2003.

The finals are played in Boston.

Boston is a sea of ​​green again!

Maybe Boston's Fleet Center is not a noisy place during the regular season, but in the playoffs, it is the most terrifying home of the Devils!

The Bostonians, with green war stripes on their faces, roared from the sidelines!

Numerous celebrities appeared on the sidelines.

The media from all over the world held up cameras to record every frame.

The legendary showdown begins now!

The Spurs still use a five-small lineup!

The Celtics lineup is Billups, Penny, McGrady, Van Horn, and Kemp.

Both teams are the best of this era!

They all fought bloody battles and emerged as the strongest team among the strong ones!

The Celtics started off aggressively! McGrady and Van Horn's pick-and-roll dismantled Horry's defense.

Old Horry's weakness was discovered by Pitino!

When he was in the OK Dynasty, he was the team's biggest defensive hole at the fourth position.

As he gets older, even though his shooting and organization are still stable, his footsteps and defense have become more clumsy.

McGrady scored 35+6+8.

Bird Van Horn Jr. scored 21+7.

The Celtics' forward destroyed the Spurs' defense!

Duncan sat in the penalty area, but the Celtics players did not go to the penalty area at all.

projection!

Endless projection!

McGrady, Van Horn, Billups, Penny!

G1, Spurs 91:106 Celtics.

The Celtics surrendered to the Spurs!

In G2, Popovich changed the lineup and replaced Horry and Parker.

The five-small lineup is very suitable for facing the Lakers and Houston, but the Celtics, with such a strong forward line, are undoubtedly a bit fragile.

The Spurs return to the traditional lineup system.

This game is extremely anxious.

Stockton's ability to control the court made Billups very uncomfortable.

Lagabell's little moves almost caused Pence to be injured many times.

The general sat under the basket and Duncan started the sweep of the three-point line.

The Celtics' offense was struggling. Under Duncan's BUG-level defense, it seemed difficult to hit the basketball within the entire three-point line.

The Spurs started their violent play again!

The combination of Old Camp + Van Horn, facing Shi Buddha + General, had no way to protect the rebound.

The Spurs had 58 rebounds, while the Celtics only had

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Celtics 97-82 and bloodbathed Boston.

G3, coming to San Antonio.

The small city of San Antonio finally welcomes the championship competition again!

crazy!

The fanaticism of Spurs fans is no worse than that of any other team!

The madness of Texas fans is on full display!

In this game, Duncan was unparalleled.

Facing Van Horn, and Kemp.

He made 19 of 27 shots and scored 46 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 blocks and 1 steal.

Killing!

The entire three-point line became the territory of the Stone Buddha.

In the end, the Spurs defended their home court and won another game!

G4!

McGrady started his personal performance after trailing by 15 points in the fourth quarter.

Hit consecutive long three-pointers.

At the last moment, he even scored an incredible 3+1!

Scored 25 points in a single quarter! He scored 53 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists to lead the team's comeback!

The Celtics narrowly defeated the Spurs 110:107!

2:2 draw!

Wonderful!

The finals have reached this stage! It has surpassed all the series this year in terms of excitement.

Even the 7-game battle between the Lakers and Spurs was not as good as these two star-filled teams.

The Battle of Tianwang Mountain attracted worldwide attention.

Kobe was invited to be the commentator.

If you can't make it to the finals, then go commentate on the finals.

But Kobe refused and chose to make babies at home.

"Miss! Billups' critical moment! 3 consecutive misses!"

"Stockton left Billups open! He was the Spurs' only open player!"

"T-Mac grabbed another key rebound in the crowd! He passed it to Billups again!"

"Missed again!"

"The Celtics lost! At home in Boston! They led by as much as 18 points!"

"But Billups missed 4 consecutive shots in the fourth quarter and ruined the team!"

"No match!"

Crazy!

Celtics fans almost wanted to kill Billups at this moment!

Pence defeated Laga Bell in this game, scoring 27+5+8.

McGrady still contributed steadily 33+12+5.

The Celtics once led by 18 points!

In this almost must-win game, something went wrong entering the fourth quarter.

First, Cole and Horry hit consecutive three-pointers.

Maddie's face darkened instantly.

I tried my best to pick off the board in front of Duncan, and then you missed the open shot?

The Battle of Tianwang Mountain ended in an extremely dramatic scene.

Spurs 91:89 Celtics.

Billups made one of his last four shots, and the Celtics would not lose.

Billups was once again nailed to the pillar of shame.

G6, back to San Antonio.

It’s match point!

Stern and Russell all gathered in San Antonio, a city that is not considered a metropolis!

Texas fans flocked to San Antonio crazily, the world's media flocked to San Antonio crazily, and celebrities flocked to San Antonio crazily.

Many people have a hunch that this series will end in this game.

Not being able to beat the last game hurts morale too much. If they failed to win an 18-point lead at home, the Spurs will not give the Celtics such a good opportunity again!

"Tim, let's win this championship together." Admiral Robinson was excited!

This is the closest I’ve been to a championship in my 16-year career since 1987!

16 years!

Selected regular season Most Valuable Player (MVP) in 1995

Selected to the NBA All-NBA First Team 4 times; selected to the NBA All-Defensive First Team 4 times; selected to the NBA All-Star Game 10 times; won 1 scoring title, 1 block title and 1 rebound title

Obtained "quadruple-double" data in the game in 1994

In 1995, he scored a career-high 71 points in a single game.

In 1992 and 1996, he represented the "Dream Team" and "Dream Team Three" of the U.S. men's basketball team and won two Olympic gold medals.

The general's personal honor is impeccable!

All that is missing is a championship.

Now, when the championship is close at hand, the general is already excited!

"David, we will win." Duncan remained expressionless, but his big eyes revealed a strong desire to win!

This one!

San Antonio!

We will be the champions!

"Grand Finals G6! Start now!" Barkley roared, and this championship battle was finally coming to an end.

Spurs twin towers!

Two MVP-level insiders!

They are the strongest twin towers of this era!

Maybe it’s not just this era! It can even be said that they are the strongest twin towers in history!

The old Kemp is unable to cope alone.

The general, who was so driven to win that he would do anything for the championship, defeated Kemp all by himself!

And Duncan continued to sweep away like a brush in the middle distance!

Penny breakout?

build!

Billups floater?

build!

Maddie dry pull?

Okay, this doesn't cover it. But except for McGrady, no other Celtics player can score stably in the mid-range!

This is the Stone Buddha!

This is the template of Bill Russell + Olajuwon, the number one power forward in history!

McGrady is struggling!

Veterans Cole and Horry made three-pointers on the bench, but the Celtics' score difference became wider and wider!

Tony Parker broke out in the third quarter and drove into the paint continuously. He was restrained by the general at Kemp, and Van Horn roamed the Celtics penalty area without the ability to defend inside!

Finlay and LaGabell take turns taking care of Maddie!

McGrady, who has a white horse and a silver gun, can't sing alone!

Pence has no three-point flaw, and it was exposed infinitely under Duncan's help! He didn't perform like a superstar at all!

Collapse!

Celtics, collapsed!

"MVP! MVP! MVP!"

With 5 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the Celtics gave up resistance.

Popovich called a timeout.

Duncan slowly walked off the court amid cheers.

At this moment, he is the king of the world!

New king! Ascended to the throne!

Stone Buddha Duncan! The most powerful striker! During the collapse of the OK dynasty and the most chaotic period of competition among heroes, we won the brilliant championship!

Admiral Robinson, a tough soldier, burst into tears.

He finally understood the feeling of crying when Michael Jordan won his first championship.

The evil smile on Popovich's lips didn't stop.

Stockton hugged the general, not expecting that he and Malone would leave the Jazz together. Instead, he would be the first to win the championship.

Cole and Horry are the two most calm people on the Spurs.

Horry won 2 championships with the Rockets Dynasty and 5 championships with OKC. This is his eighth championship!

Eight-time champion Horry!

The strongest role player in history!

The luckiest role player in history!

Cole won two championships with the Bulls in 95-96 and 96-97. This is his third championship!

Cole is ready to retire.

Popovich has promised him an assistant coaching role.

Spurs players and Celtics players hugged each other and said goodbye.

This is a wonderful series, and all the members of the two teams are convinced and admire each other.

"Hey, Tim." McGrady suddenly called Duncan.

"What? Tracey." Duncan blinked.

"Next year! I will beat you!" McGrady said these words seriously. McGrady, who is chic by nature, made this the most serious promise in his life.

"Okay. The future is yours." Duncan touched his head naively, but his words of blessing made all the Spurs players burst into laughter.

McGrady was so angry that his veins bulged! He couldn't help but punch Duncan in the abdomen several times.

"Okay, please ignore this idiot. He has no understanding of the ways of the world." The admiral laughed and pushed Duncan aside.

And Duncan is still thinking about what he said wrongly to make McGrady unhappy?

McGrady drooped his eyelids and looked at the scene of Duncan holding the FMVP trophy, which symbolized infinite honor, together with the O'Brien Cup, feeling extremely lonely for a moment.

Pence let out a long sigh. This was his second return to the finals after partnering with O'Neal.

This time, he originally thought he was ready for everything.

But he still lost.

Billups wrapped his head in a towel and walked directly back to the locker room without anyone paying attention.

Everyone will remember his four consecutive misses in Game 5, but no one will remember that he defeated Kidd in the Eastern Conference Finals, and no one will remember that Kidd defeated Tim Hardaway in the conference finals.

History is written by the winners.

"Congratulations, you are the champion!" Russell handed the trophy to Duncan.

"Tim, you played like I did back then." Russell smiled. For so many years, the FMVP has been occupied by a certain Lakers guard, and he was tired of the award ceremony.

Awards should be given to rival teams every year! The most annoying!

Although the award was not awarded to the Celtics this year, Russell would be very satisfied if it were Duncan.

The player who most resembles him, Duncan won this award.

In 6 games, he averaged 41.6 minutes, 57.2% shooting, 31.7 points, 15.8 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 3.8 blocks, 1.2 steals and 2.7 turnovers per game.

The data cannot fully reflect Duncan's role.

On the defensive end, Duncan established a defensive system by himself.

This ability was something only Russell could achieve.

Duncan stared at his big round eyes and took the trophy tremblingly.

Is this what it feels like to be a champion?

The surrounding Spurs players frantically caressed the trophy.

The fans cheer for this team.

At this moment, they are the happiest people in the world.

"If this is what it feels like to be a champion, then I want to win it a few more times." Duncan had an ambition in his heart.
