Sun Hao was stunned when he saw this scene.

Duncan has also done this action in history, and it was also this season.

That was when he was playing G6 in the finals, and before that game, the Spurs had already led by 3-2.

If G6 wins, the Spurs will be the championship.

Moreover, the Spurs led the Heat by 10 points after the third quarter in that game.

With the diarrhea performance of the three Heat teams at that time at the critical moment, the Spurs have a great chance of winning the game.

Unfortunately, the Spurs themselves performed very poorly in the last quarter. They only scored 20 points, and the Heat forced the game into overtime.

The Heat once again had the upper hand in overtime, and it was a similar round. After a key tip-in missed, Duncan did the same thing.

That emotion is completely understandable because it was reversed in a good situation and the Spurs lost their best chance.

This was true afterwards. The Spurs failed to tiebreak the away game and finally lost the championship.

But the situation is a little different now. This is G1, and the Spurs are not reversed.

In theory, Duncan shouldn't be so upset and frustrated.

But in fact, Duncan did this, which only shows one thing: his frustration is not lower than that at that time.

The reason why it is low is because there is no hope!

In the entire game of G1, the Spurs could not limit the Lakers' scoring.

They can't defend themselves, and their current offensive level cannot be matched with the Lakers. Coupled with the feeling of catching duckweed in the last quarter, Duncan's frustration is easy to understand.

In the end, the Lakers defeated the Spurs 121-104 without bloodshed.

After the G1 game, Lakers fans were in a bit of a high mood.

For those who watch the game, what else is more enjoyable than watching the home team defeat their opponents with a devastating offensive?

More importantly, this feeling continues!

Just two days later, G2 continued to start playing at Staples Center.

The process of the game is very similar to that of G1. It can be seen that the Spurs are more focused and harder to play. However, whether it is Popovich or the Spurs players, they can never guess what clothes the Lakers wear in every round, so they often see them losing sight of one thing during the game.

After all, the Spurs do not have outside defense vanguards like Green, and with their current lineup, they cannot do the Warriors' high-speed rotation.

The result is naturally predictable.

113 to 97, the Lakers won another goal, and the big score was already 2-0.

A very cruel reality for Spurs fans is that the scene of Sun Hao and Popovich squirting trash on the court should never appear because it will never be needed anymore.

And the more cruel thing is that they can't find a turnaround.

Indeed, the theoretical toughness of 101 hits is full, but the problem now is that they hit diamonds, and if this hammer is broken, it will not be broken!

However, both sides came to San Antonio, and the Spurs narrowly defeated the Lakers 104-101 in G3 and returned to the game.

From the score, we can see that the Lakers' offense performed somewhat incorrectly.

Sun Hao scored 41 points and Yao Ming scored 21 points and 11 rebounds. In terms of core performance, the Lakers did not have any big problems.

The real problem comes from role players, who totaled 7-for-35 shots.

This is related to their own strength as role players, and it is also related to Popovich's defensive deployment.

After two games, he found that Yao Ming did not make many attacks in this round of the series.

At first, he thought that Yao Ming's injury might have relapsed, but the result was not.

He didn't look for the reason, and he followed his strategy to give Sun Hao and Yao Ming a certain scoring opportunity, and then limit the scoring of other players.

This sounds a bit like a suicide defense, but it does work.

Harris' on-the-spot ability is generally reflected in his previous fight against the Warriors.

So by the time he realized that he would attack Yao Ming, it was actually too late.

Although the Spurs cannot defend against the Lakers, it does not mean that their own offense is not good.

The duel of experts is suppressed by a set of sword techniques, but if the opponent finds a flaw, it may also be killed by one blow.

Popovich's skill and experience were well demonstrated in this game.

Spurs fans' mood after G3 also changed from yin to sunny.

1-2, if the Spurs can continue to show this feature, there is not a chance to turn the tables.

However, after the G4 started, Spurs fans felt depressed again.

It’s not that Popovich suddenly changed his mind and changed his defensive tactics, or that there was something wrong with the Spurs’ performance.

Instead, the Lakers began to act like a scoundrel and unreasonable.

And after the game, Popovich said he was familiar with the plot.

Sun Hao scored 57 points alone and directly killed the Spurs.

What is the Spurs' defensive system and what is Leonard? When Sun Hao was determined to score, it was all over the cloud.

Although Sun Hao's shooting percentage was not too high by the Spurs, Neal and Leonard both got beaten and left the field with 6 fouls.

It's such a arrogant lethality.

Moreover, after the first three games, Sun Hao said that he seemed to be cheating Yao Ming, but it turned out that the time had not come yet.

When the time comes, I can't stop it.

111 to 101, after a fierce battle, the big score has reached 3 to 1.

Then, I returned to Los Angeles with this score.

The Lakers did not give the Spurs any more chances. After a big victory, they sent the Spurs home 4-1.

Lakers fans regret that they still failed to have the opportunity to meet the familiar G6 grandson.

What makes Spurs fans feel uncomfortable is that the GDP in the fourth quarter of G5 is sitting on the bench, and Duncan's head is wrapped in a towel, which makes people feel distressed.

Popovich looked ahead with a dull look, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the end, he stood up with a long sigh, giving people a very old feeling.

In fact, Yao Ming played support throughout the series, or it could be said that he did not make any efforts.

The Spurs lost because of Sun Hao, but even more so in the overall situation.

Moreover, Popovich dared not to destroy Sun Hao.

Even the other Spurs dare not.

So in the end, the loss of this game was a bit frustrating, but he was helpless.

4-1, the Lakers moved to the Western Conference Finals first.

At this time, Lakers fans could already feel the distance between the champion and them.

The Lakers were the first to break out of the siege from the semi-finals, and the remaining three sets of matches ended one after another.

There is no suspense in the east. Although the Pacers Hawks' resistance was very fierce, the Pacers even scored 2-4 with the Bulls, in the end, the two Eastern Conference players successfully broke through the siege and successfully met in the final.

Then in the West, the Mavericks and the Warriors played much more intensely than they intended.

Perhaps no one would have thought that these two teams would actually play another tiebreak battle in this year's playoffs!

The Mavericks played in awe.

They played several times and seemed to lose the game, but in the end they resisted and won the game.

If they hadn't met the Warriors, they would have probably made it to the Western Conference Finals.

The final tiebreak battle between the two teams was very eye-catching.

But this game was unexpected again.

Old Nelson played at the beginning of the game as a junior, and directly defeated the Mavericks.

Ibaka's outstanding form makes the Mavericks not have many ways to defend the defense, and they are obviously not physically in poor health when they fight to the tiebreak.

The result was that the Warriors directly sent the Mavericks out in one wave.

In the fourth quarter, Nowitzki sat on the sidelines, with a long beard and some white hairs mixed in. It makes people sigh.

Moreover, it is easy to remind people of Duncan, another group of divisional semi-finals.

The four great forwards at the beginning of the century, no matter how strong or lasting they are, their era is still over.

After sighing, the fans then turned their attention to the division finals.

As mentioned before, the Bulls Knicks in the East, plus the Lakers Warriors in the West.

These two groups are simply a cosmic collision!

No matter which group of matches, it will be full of highlights.

Before the division finals begin, there is one thing that everyone pays attention to, and this year is also very suspense.
