Chapter 257

The 2003-2004 NBA Finals finally arrived as scheduled. The Cavaliers still sit in the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and welcome the San Antonio Spurs.

The finals are always so eye-catching, and the eyes of the whole country and even the world are focused on this series.If you win, you will be the strongest king this year, if you lose, you will go home obediently.

People will only remember the first, who will remember the second?

The NBA championship, once a year, is the highest honor in the basketball halls of the world. The MVP of the finals is the dream of all players.

Throughout the history of the NBA, apart from the Lakers and Celtics, the two veteran teams, plus the Bulls in the 90s, there is no other team that has more than 5 championships.

The Cleveland Cavaliers, where Ling Bo belongs, have never won an NBA championship since the establishment of the team. Before this year, even entering the finals was a luxury.

Led by regular season MVP and scoring champion Ling Bo, the Cavaliers finally got their wish and stood on the stage of the finals. They were only one step away from the O'Brien Gold Cup, and there was only one opponent left.

The Spurs, which joined the league in 1976, are the "transfer students" of the NBA. In the 90s, due to the joining of two No. 1999 picks - David Robinson and Tim Duncan, the team's strength has achieved two qualitative leaps. The "Twin Towers Tactics" with them as the core created a unique and powerful inside line, which also brought the team the [-] NBA championship.

After Admiral David Robinson retired, the twin towers became single-core, what should we do?

Zhuge Weiwei smiled slightly, scattered beans into soldiers, Parker and Manu left and right to protect the law, and the GDP combination was born.

In the 2002-2003 NBA Finals, the newly promoted group GDP strongly defeated the New Jersey Nets led by Jason Kidd and won the championship again. Tim Duncan was crowned FMVP.

The defending champion is strong, has rich experience in the finals, has a clear core, tacit cooperation, and both offense and defense.The Cavaliers lack the main fighters, and this battle is indeed worrying.

The Spurs' starting lineup, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Bruce Bowen, Tim Duncan, Rasu Nesterovic.

Cavaliers starting lineup: Kevin Ollie, Limbo, Ira Newbell, Carlos Boozer, Big Z Ilgauskas.

It was originally intended to start Eric Williams, but Limbo took the initiative to take the position of shooting guard. He knew what the Cavaliers need most today, and that is scoring.

He has to play "individually" today, survive the first game, and wait for the iron triangle to return to its position.

Assists are not so important today, Limbo must seize the opportunity to score, besides, when Kevin Ollie dribbles the ball across the court and gives him the ball, he can still pass the ball to assist his teammates to score according to the situation.

Today's scene is very lively, there are no empty seats, and a large group of NBA bigwigs came.

Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers), Allen Iverson (Philadelphia 76ers), Tracy McGrady (Orlando Magic), Dwyane Wade (Miami Heat), Ray Ray (Seattle SuperSonics) - Allen, Kings' Peja Stojakovic, etc.

They are all active NBA All-Star players, and they came to see if Flash Limbo could defeat the San Antonio Spurs without LeBron.

Players from both sides are in place, and the game is about to start.

The referee blew the whistle, and Ilgauskas took off. His height of 2 meters does have a big advantage, giving the Cavaliers the opportunity to attack for the first time.

Kevin Ollie gave the ball to Limbo, and the Spurs changed formation immediately. Bruce Bowen defended Limbo from the front, Ginobili looked at Ira Nubell and helped defend on the left, Parker looked at Kevin- Ollie and the right side to help defend.

Such a defensive strategy is simple.

This is the Spurs' greatest respect for Ling Bo, who is the NBA's regular scoring leader, regular season MVP, and double first team.

It seems that one person is defending, but in fact the focus of the defense of the three is on him.

This kind of defense was expected by Limbo. Kevin Ollie and Ilan Nubell were not stupid. The space opened up, forcing the defenders to stay away from Ling Bo.If they don't follow, then Ling Bo will find an opportunity to pass the ball, if they follow and leave, Ling Bo will attack alone.

Parker and Manu moved their footsteps a little. Seeing that Kevin Ollie had a chance, Limbo found a neutral space, opened up the center with Bruce Bowen, and passed the ball through the crotch.

After Kevin Ollie received the ball, Limbo also started to move. This game does not allow anyone to play soy sauce on the court.

After Ling Bo ran for a lap, Kevin Ollie couldn't get rid of Parker's defense and wanted to pass back to Ling Bo, but was blocked by Parker and robbed him.

The Cavaliers' first attack, which took 13 seconds, ended in a mistake.

Kobe looked at it and said: "This ball, if LeBron is on the court, Ling will definitely give it to him. LeBron attracts the defense and passes back. This is the most stable. It's a pity."

McGrady: "The Spurs defended with three manpower in the backcourt, and Xiao Lingzi didn't feel well."

Iverson: "He will have a chance. If there is no chance, he can create opportunities by himself. This is only the first round. Don't worry."

The Spurs counterattacked, their intention was very obvious, and they gave the ball to Duncan.

The Spurs and the Cavaliers played against each other twice in the regular season, with one win and one loss, plus watching the All-Star and playoff games, the Spurs already knew that in front of Limbo, no matter who held the ball, the possibility of losing the ball was very high.

Therefore, they reduce the time for outside players to get the ball and give the ball to the inside.

Bowen picks and rolls, Parker passes to Ginobili, and Ginobili passes to Duncan.

Shi Buddha resisted Boozer's defense and scored the ball from the basket.

The Spurs took the lead.

"The position of power forward is not of the same magnitude at all." Ray Allen expressed his views.

Kobe took over: "It's not that Carlos Boozer is weak, but that Tim Duncan is too strong. The Lakers played 7 games against them. I think we have the most say.

You know that he will turn around and hit the board, you know that he will dunk on the spot, but you just can't guard against it, it's just so unreasonable.

Maybe Karl Malone is eight years younger, and he can be tough with him when he is ten years old. Now except for Kevin Garnett, he should be difficult to rival at the power forward position. "

Kevin Ollie dribbled the ball across the midfield, and Lingbo immediately stepped forward to catch the ball.

Iverson: "It's coming, it's coming, it's coming, look carefully, Tracy."

McGrady: "I see, once Ling accelerates, it is estimated that the three of them will be difficult to stop, unless they build a flesh wall."

Ling Bo accelerated, and Tan Yun controlled the basketball with his hand. When Ginobili blocked him, Ling Bo changed direction.

Then he rushed into the penalty area with lightning speed.

Duncan was ready for battle, and Ling Bo, with a big windmill-like lever, had a soft touch, avoided Duncan's block, made a successful layup, and tied the score at 2-2.
